00:00:23You
00:00:30You
00:01:08You
00:01:32You
00:01:32Are you ready?
00:01:34As we commit Lord Kilmartin's earthly remains to their final resting place, we are reminded of the transient nature of
00:01:41life 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 I apologize in
00:02:03advance.
00:02:06Standing before you, I know I'm supposed to say something profound, but to be honest I am rather at a
00:02:14loss.
00:02:16This is an unfathomable tragedy.
00:02:19For Lord Kilmartin's family, for my sister Francesca, for my family, for all of us.
00:02:28What makes his death so difficult to bear is not just its suddenness, but the fact he was a good
00:02:37man.
00:02:38One of the best of us.
00:02:40Always 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.
00:02:54It was 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.
00:03:09We will cherish our memory of John, and be forever grateful to have known such an exceptional human being.
00:03:45Well, would you like a moment alone?
00:03:49It's not necessary.
00:03:50There is far too much to oversee at home.
00:03:53The 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.
00:04:00How much do you think?
00:04:23She's been felt by a common headache.
00:04:25She's very shocking.
00:04:27King.
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.
00:04:51Lord 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 appreciative.
00:05:31You 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.
00:05:40I could not imagine hosting when my husband died there.
00:05:44It was my honor.
00:05:46Your son was the cherished part of this family.
00:05:48He adored your Francesca.
00:05:50I will never forget when he came home.
00:05:53The night being met.
00:05:54Yeah.
00:05:54Stars in his eyes.
00:05:56Oh no.
00:05:57Is this too overwhelming?
00:05:58No.
00:05:59I am.
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.
00:06:17I 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.
00:06:49Thank 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.
00:07:09I imagine.
00:07:10What else do you think?
00:07:11I taste vanilla.
00:07:13Something spicy.
00:07:14Tindra, maybe?
00:07:16Flour.
00:07:17Probably a little salt.
00:07:18And perhaps, um...
00:07:20Mr Bridgerton.
00:07:27Ladies.
00:07:28Our deepest condomences.
00:07:30Thank you for being...
00:07:31Are you truly all right, sister?
00:07:32I'm so sorry.
00:07:33I can't believe he's 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.
00:08:36And I wanted to throw the tray and scream.
00:08:39And did you?
00:08:44I came close.
00:08:47But I realized 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 honor 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.
00:09:23Thank you for your help.
00:09:27I had better return while my mother will fear I have fled.
00:09:31If you need more respite,
00:09:33simply 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 that Lord Stotter's interest.
00:10:05You 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.
00:10:21Sophie?
00:10:27Is that why we went looking for Sophie at Bridgerton 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.
00:10:48Let alone keep track of Sophie's whereabouts.
00:10:52Very well.
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 forms.
00:11:03I prefer waltz.
00:11:04I do prefer 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.
00:11:38They are in need of more mint for the refreshments.
00:11:40And 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.
00:11:50To 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 alright, Sophie. You are not required to give me comfort.
00:12:15I know that.
00:12:17I know it is not a condition of my employment, but...
00:12:20My 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.
00:12:39Yes, of course.
00:12:40As you should.
00:12:44I wish you luck, Sophie.
00:12:49Please go inside.
00:12:50I cannot send you off to your new position with influenza.
00:12:58I can stay a moment if you...
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.
00:13:42Goodbye, 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.
00:14:22But 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 apologize for my loss.
00:14:39Everyone is simply trying to be respectful.
00:14:42Yes.
00:14:44I realize it is proper here to speak in euphemisms and act as if we are statues in the face
00:14:51of death.
00:14:55You know, in Scotland, a life lost is celebrated instead of mourned.
00:15:03Everyone eats, drinks, tells stories of the dead, cries and...
00:15:11laughs.
00:15:13Is that not a little...
00:15:16indulgent?
00:15:17In fact, it can be rather cathartic.
00:15:21Joyful, even.
00:15:24Perhaps we could still have a celebration for a smaller group here, at Kilmartin House.
00:15:29I am sorry if you found the funeral lacking.
00:15:33You did a splendid job, Francesca.
00:15:37I was merely suggesting a celebration so that John might be remembered not for his death but for his life.
00:15:43I knew John better than I know myself and I truly believe he would not want to be the cause
00:15:48of 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...
00:15:59God does not want anything.
00:16:02He is dead, gone.
00:16:04And turning his funeral into a circus will not change that.
00:16:28I meant a great deal having you at the funeral.
00:16:32I do not know what we'll do without you, Agatha.
00:16:34I'm not leaving for another two weeks,
00:16:37so there are plenty of goodbyes still to say.
00:16:41And I will not be gone forever.
00:16:42I am happy for you.
00:16:44I think I am still in disbelief
00:16:46that the Queen granted me leave to go.
00:16:51I hear you are making a life change of your own
00:16:54with my brother.
00:16:56You know, or...
00:16:58I do not believe he told anyone else.
00:17:00Yes, you would have been a fool not to ask.
00:17:03I am delighted for you both.
00:17:09Only I am...
00:17:12Violet.
00:17:15Is everything all right?
00:17:17Yes, yes, of course.
00:17:20I simply feel that in the wake of John's passing...
00:17:24Your mind is on Francesca.
00:17:26Indeed.
00:17:28I am rather concerned
00:17:30that she is not allowing herself to grieve.
00:17:35Give her time.
00:17:37We both know it is a winding and illogical road
00:17:41to mourn a lost love.
00:17:44She's not in her right mind.
00:17:58Are you all right, Sophie?
00:17:59You look as though you did not sleep a wink.
00:18:01I lost my necklace.
00:18:02I spent half the night searching for it.
00:18:04What does it look like?
00:18:05It is a silver chain with an amicus pendant.
00:18:07Do you know when you last saw it?
00:18:09I have no idea.
00:18:10I hardly notice when I am wearing it
00:18:11as I so rarely take it off.
00:18:14Deliveries are here.
00:18:16Make haste.
00:18:18I will look out for it, Sophie.
00:18:20Perhaps this is the heavens telling you
00:18:22that you should not leave us for Penwood House.
00:18:24No, it is merely telling me
00:18:25that I have been unforgivably careless.
00:18:28I have been so caught up.
00:18:30I lost the only piece of my mother I ever had.
00:18:32We will find it.
00:18:43Will Michaela be joining us?
00:18:47I do not believe so.
00:18:49We are giving each other space,
00:18:51which suits me quite well,
00:18:52as I am rather busy with my correspondence
00:18:54to John's relatives.
00:18:56Surely you do not least write to all of them now?
00:18:58People deserve to know.
00:19:00Writing certainly can be cathartic.
00:19:02Sometimes when I'm feeling lost,
00:19:04I find that writing steadies me.
00:19:06I am steady.
00:19:15Francesca, you do not need to be.
00:19:17You are amongst family.
00:19:18If you would like to throw something or scream...
00:19:22Eloise, please, that is not how I wish to proceed.
00:19:24I should like to stay calm.
00:19:26But you need not.
00:19:28Yes, I do.
00:19:33I am with child.
00:19:37My courses were supposed to arrive days ago,
00:19:39but they never came.
00:19:41Well, that is splendid news.
00:19:45John has left me with a gift,
00:19:46a piece of himself,
00:19:48just as father left mother with hyacinth.
00:19:50So, if I must remain calm for the sake of our child
00:19:53and the future of the Kilmartin line,
00:19:55so be it.
00:19:57It is a worthy cause.
00:20:00I am delighted for you, sister.
00:20:05But let us just keep this between ourselves for now
00:20:08until I speak to the men from the House of Lords.
00:20:11Of course.
00:20:17How is Lady Kilmartin faring?
00:20:20She is faring as best she can, I imagine.
00:20:23Hmm.
00:20:24It is quite a cruel twist of fate
00:20:26to lose one's husband at such a tender age.
00:20:30I imagine it's cruel to lose one's husband at any age.
00:20:33And yet for some of us,
00:20:36a release.
00:20:38Hmm.
00:20:39What was she wearing at the funeral?
00:20:41Lady Kilmartin.
00:20:43If one must endure,
00:20:45I do hope she at least was enduring
00:20:47in a marvellous ensemble.
00:20:50She looked quite elegant.
00:20:54These bonbons do not taste the same.
00:20:58It is a shame when a good thing changes.
00:21:01You know, Charlotte,
00:21:03there is a fortnight yet before I leave.
00:21:06Yes, I know.
00:21:07But I should like the bonbons from Switzerland instead.
00:21:11Perhaps I should arrange
00:21:13for some new exotic animal
00:21:15to be imported for the grounds.
00:21:18I will write, Charlotte.
00:21:24I am sad, Agatha.
00:21:28It is a sad time.
00:21:30Yes.
00:21:32Goodbyes are never easy.
00:21:33Particularly as I have just
00:21:35bid farewell to Whistledown.
00:21:39She would have written something profound
00:21:41about Lord Kilmartin's passing.
00:21:45Not to mention a detailed report
00:21:47of the funereal fashions
00:21:48beyond elegant.
00:21:50Hmm.
00:21:52It would have been something
00:21:53to look forward to.
00:21:55I miss her.
00:21:59Mrs. Mondridge,
00:22:00I should like to hold mercury now.
00:22:06Your Majesty.
00:22:10Oh!
00:22:11She is quite excitable.
00:22:14Perhaps the bitch needs some water
00:22:16to cool down.
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
00:22:38to the House of Lords
00:22:39to arrange their visit
00:22:40with Francesca
00:22:41concerning the Kilmartin estate.
00:22:43I will attend as well, of course.
00:22:46Well, for all you have done
00:22:47in Antony's absence.
00:22:52Are you all right?
00:22:54It's not me you should be worrying about.
00:22:56We are most fortunate
00:22:57that Sophie remained to help.
00:22:58I do hope she will be content.
00:22:59Please do not bring her up.
00:23:00I know, I know.
00:23:01It has been a difficult week.
00:23:02Not today.
00:23:03Please!
00:23:06It is all a tad hypocritical,
00:23:08do you not think?
00:23:10What is hypocritical?
00:23:11You.
00:23:13You spent our entire lives
00:23:15claiming the one thing that matters
00:23:16is marrying a love match.
00:23:18For years,
00:23:19I did not understand it,
00:23:20nor want it.
00:23:21In fact, I ran from it.
00:23:22And now,
00:23:25now I have found someone I love
00:23:27more than I could even have thought possible.
00:23:29Someone captivating
00:23:30and maddening
00:23:31and real,
00:23:32just as you want it.
00:23:33Just as Daphne
00:23:34and Antony
00:23:35and Colin
00:23:35and Francesca...
00:23:36You love her?
00:23:37It does not signify, does it?
00:23:38She is not of the right class,
00:23:40so I cannot be with her.
00:23:41Not truly.
00:23:42I must let her go,
00:23:43as if she means nothing.
00:23:44Tell me,
00:23:45is that what you would have done
00:23:46had father been of the lower classes?
00:23:48Tossed your lover aside
00:23:49to search for someone
00:23:50of proper breeding?
00:23:53Forgive me.
00:24:00Where is it?
00:24:09Are you looking for something?
00:24:12No.
00:24:13Lady Bridgerton,
00:24:15I simply noticed some dust.
00:24:17Pardon me.
00:24:21I wanted to thank you
00:24:22for staying on
00:24:23to help with the funeral.
00:24:25Oh, it is the least I could do.
00:24:27I do regret that I'm leaving
00:24:29at such a difficult time.
00:24:30Well, you must do
00:24:31what is best for you.
00:24:37Sophie?
00:24:41Is it because of Benedict
00:24:42that you feel you must depart?
00:24:47Why did you not dismiss me?
00:24:49Well, perhaps I should have done,
00:24:50but I like you.
00:24:52You're the sort of woman
00:24:53I would like for my son.
00:24:55If I were not a maid.
00:25:00You must know
00:25:00it is not Mr. Bridgerton's fault.
00:25:02Your son is a good man.
00:25:04I...
00:25:04I knew better.
00:25:07Sophie?
00:25:09If there is perhaps
00:25:10something about your history
00:25:12that you have not shared.
00:25:14Your accent,
00:25:15your education,
00:25:16your proclivity for languages.
00:25:18Perhaps
00:25:18if there is something
00:25:20that you are running from.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28I am a maid.
00:25:31I am not a suitable match
00:25:32for your son.
00:25:36I wish the world were different.
00:25:47Leave me alone, Gregory.
00:25:49It's all well.
00:25:50Get out!
00:25:52I tried talking sense
00:25:53to hire St.
00:25:53but she is highly unreasonable.
00:25:55Mother should have stopped at seven.
00:26:03What is going on in here?
00:26:05I am simply
00:26:05ridding myself
00:26:06of things
00:26:07I shall not need
00:26:08as I have decided
00:26:09to delay my debut.
00:26:10Or perhaps
00:26:11not to make my debut at all.
00:26:13What?
00:26:13Same curtains,
00:26:14same ceiling,
00:26:15yet surely I am
00:26:15in a foreign land.
00:26:16What is the point
00:26:17of finding love
00:26:18when your husband
00:26:18will probably die?
00:26:24So this is about a job.
00:26:27It's only John.
00:26:29Father.
00:26:30Even Lord Featherington.
00:26:32All gone.
00:26:33I have been taken up
00:26:34with foolish fantasies
00:26:35when all love truly brings
00:26:36is hardship and sorrow.
00:26:40I suppose it is
00:26:42difficult.
00:26:43Well,
00:26:44I for one want
00:26:45no part of it.
00:26:46I have finally seen
00:26:47the wisdom
00:26:47in what you have been telling me.
00:26:48You were right all along, sister.
00:27:05How is Francesca?
00:27:07Oh, what she is going through,
00:27:09I would not wish on anyone.
00:27:12Shall we?
00:27:17Losing someone
00:27:18unexpectedly,
00:27:19it is as if
00:27:20your very breath
00:27:20is ripped from you.
00:27:22your entire reality
00:27:23has shifted
00:27:24within the blink of an eye.
00:27:26It is natural
00:27:27you must be thinking
00:27:28of Edmund.
00:27:29Yes, I have.
00:27:31I think about Nessa
00:27:32every day.
00:27:35Anything you need,
00:27:37I'm here for you.
00:27:43There is one thing
00:27:44I must request.
00:27:48I was wondering
00:27:49if we might keep
00:27:50our betrothal
00:27:50to ourselves
00:27:51for a while,
00:27:52only because
00:27:53I do not want
00:27:53our happy news
00:27:55to overshadow.
00:27:56Say no more.
00:27:57I've told only my sister.
00:27:59Otherwise,
00:28:00we shall wait.
00:28:18Alfie,
00:28:19what are you doing here?
00:28:20Looking for you.
00:28:21You are so eager
00:28:22to see me
00:28:22that you cannot wait
00:28:23until my return
00:28:24to Penwood House.
00:28:24I am flattered.
00:28:25That is why
00:28:26I've been trying
00:28:26to find you.
00:28:28I gave the new
00:28:29Lady Penwood your note
00:28:30about delaying your start
00:28:30until after the funeral,
00:28:32but she would not wait.
00:28:34She hired someone else.
00:28:36I'm sorry.
00:28:37What?
00:28:38No,
00:28:39I have already given
00:28:39my notice to Lady Bridgerton.
00:28:42Surely she will not mind
00:28:43if you stay on
00:28:43a little longer.
00:28:44I cannot.
00:28:45Seeing Mr. Bridgerton,
00:28:46it is torture, Alfie.
00:28:48I only want to come home
00:28:49to you.
00:28:50Irma Rumsey,
00:28:50it is all I want.
00:28:51I know.
00:28:52We all wanted that,
00:28:53but we will find you
00:28:54another position.
00:28:55There are so few just now.
00:28:57I've heard of one opening
00:28:57for a housemaid
00:28:58on Bruton Street.
00:28:59That is far too close
00:29:00to Bridgerton House.
00:29:01Perhaps I should return
00:29:02to the country.
00:29:05I have heard
00:29:05of one other position.
00:29:07A family in Mayfair
00:29:09is in need of a lady's maid
00:29:10to help them move.
00:29:11Their servants speak
00:29:12very highly of them.
00:29:14I can do that.
00:29:15You know I am skilled at it.
00:29:16They are moving
00:29:17to the Americas.
00:29:19You would need
00:29:19to be on a ship
00:29:20in three days.
00:29:38Francesca,
00:29:40this is Mr. Dundas
00:29:41from the House of Lords.
00:29:43Good day.
00:29:44Good day.
00:29:44My condolences
00:29:46for your loss
00:29:47and apologies
00:29:47for the timing
00:29:48of this visit,
00:29:49Lady Kilmountain.
00:29:50It's procedure.
00:29:52Quite right.
00:29:53Despite the circumstances,
00:29:54it is of the utmost importance.
00:29:55The lines of succession
00:29:56are followed
00:29:57to the letter.
00:29:58Your brother has been
00:29:58a tremendous help
00:29:59with the paperwork.
00:30:01I'll be speaking
00:30:02with the Sterling family next.
00:30:04But of course,
00:30:05there is one question
00:30:06I must ask you first.
00:30:07There's a formality, really.
00:30:08I am with child.
00:30:12Sister,
00:30:13that is
00:30:16wonderful news.
00:30:18Indeed.
00:30:20Well then,
00:30:21I shall alert the physician
00:30:22for an examination at once.
00:30:24An examination?
00:30:26Well, yes.
00:30:26We must have confirmation.
00:30:28Can you not simply
00:30:29take her word for it?
00:30:31Of course, Lady Kilmountain.
00:30:32Your word is of great value.
00:30:33It is only that the crown
00:30:34has grown quite stringent.
00:30:35When it comes to succession,
00:30:37there is an estate
00:30:38and title at stake,
00:30:39not to mention
00:30:39a seat in Parliament.
00:30:40I do not wish
00:30:42to have an examination.
00:30:43My sister has been
00:30:44through a great loss,
00:30:45Mr. Dundas.
00:30:46Any examination
00:30:47will have to wait.
00:30:47Believe me,
00:30:48I sympathize.
00:30:49But this is the way
00:30:50society demands
00:30:51things be done.
00:30:51I've had quite enough
00:30:52of the demands of society
00:30:54and its utterly antiquated
00:30:56way of doing things.
00:30:57This is an honorable family.
00:30:59You have no idea
00:31:00of the sacrifices
00:31:01we have made
00:31:01to maintain that honor.
00:31:03I'll not stand here
00:31:04and let you pressure
00:31:05my sister
00:31:06after the nightmare
00:31:06she's been through.
00:31:10I assure you,
00:31:11Lady Kilmountain,
00:31:12it will be swift
00:31:13and dignified.
00:31:14And then,
00:31:15we can all take comfort
00:31:17in knowing for certain.
00:31:19Hmm?
00:31:28Amen.
00:31:33Amen.
00:32:22Forgive me, I heard a noise.
00:32:24I did not mean to startle you.
00:32:27I have been tasked with organizing John's affairs and, uh, 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.
00:32:52I see you, I'm conscious it may be the last one.
00:32:54Let's pray.
00:32:55Oh.
00:33:00Oh my God.
00:33:03Oh.
00:33:04Oh.
00:33:05Oh.
00:33:06Oh.
00:33:07Oh.
00:33:10Oh.
00:33:11Oh.
00:33:11Oh.
00:33:19Oh.
00:33:36I know.
00:34:09Have you finished your 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?
00:34:29God, I do not blame you.
00:34:34I could not bear to be at Aubrey Hall for months, but being there and facing it and feeling
00:34:43it...
00:34:43Oh, stop it!
00:34:43Will you please stop it?
00:34:44I am so sorry, my dear.
00:34:46I...
00:34:46I am only trying to...
00:34:47You are 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.
00:35:21Oh, it is!
00:35:22It 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 Killmartin
00:35:31line and I failed him!
00:35:32I gave him nothing!
00:35:34I have nothing!
00:35:35I have nothing!
00:35:35It's all right.
00:35:36It's all right.
00:35:39It's all right.
00:35:40It's all right.
00:35:41It's all right.
00:35:41It's all right.
00:35:42It's all right.
00:35:44I have nothing.
00:35:46It's all right.
00:35:57Can I bring you some tea, my lady?
00:36:01No, thank you, Mrs. Wilson.
00:36:05Sometimes I sit here and just stir at this portrait.
00:36:10We're always supposed to be in this together,
00:36:12Edmund and I, through every trial.
00:36:16And children, they look to me for answers and I do not have all the answers.
00:36:24He was supposed to be here.
00:36:31If I may, Mom, your 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.
00:37:14Mrs. 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.
00:37:54That 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...
00:38:04I was lucky.
00:38:07I had a great love for a very long time.
00:38:13Some people will never get that.
00:38:21After everything that has transpired,
00:38:24I have found myself reflecting quite a lot about love.
00:38:31About time not always being on 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.
00:38:51Yes.
00:38:51We 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.
00:39:12It is important that you understand, because there is one crucial sacrifice you will have to make.
00:39:22Your 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.
00:39:34As it could impact your sister's prospects for marriage if we are believed to nurture a close relationship.
00:39:40So you will miss birthdays and weddings and count-
00:39:45Stop it, please.
00:39:46There is truly no need for this.
00:39:49Sophie does not want to be with me.
00:39:51Oh, 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.
00:40:03All 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.
00:40:12If 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...
00:40:31Oh, dare I say, a non-committal.
00:40:35Hmm.
00:40:37Well, you must have me mistaken for one of your other children.
00:40:47Promise me you will think very carefully before making a decision.
00:40:51And whatever you choose, you must live with it forever.
00:40:58We all will.
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, I look forward to seeing it.
00:41:59In 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,
00:42:11or 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.
00:42:40No, thank you, Vali.
00:42:42I should like to take the afternoon to read.
00:42:45Oh.
00:42:46In private.
00:42:47In private.
00:42:47Do
00:42:48But
00:43:06Then
00:43:12in private.
00:43:24Ms. Posey, shall I have some tea prepared for you?
00:43:41Posey, what are you doing here?
00:43:43Oh, Sophie!
00:43:48I escaped out the drawing room window.
00:43:50I did not want to risk the servants seeing.
00:43:52Then when I arrived, I told that handsome footman
00:43:54that I misplaced my glove when we came for tea,
00:43:56and as he went to look, I ran up here.
00:43:58I assumed your room would be up in the attic like most ladies' maids,
00:44:00though I had to check in three different rooms before I found yours,
00:44:03and thank goodness no one else was up 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,
00:44:14and my mama is intent on finding you.
00:44:16She does not know you live here now, as I have covered for you,
00:44:19but she means to have you arrested for the shoe clips.
00:44:26And she will surely find me if I stay in Mayfair,
00:44:29even if I leave Bridgerton House.
00:44:32I am so sorry, Sophie. The shoe clips are my fault.
00:44:36It was very brave of you to come, thank you,
00:44:38but you must get back.
00:44:41I...
00:44:43I wish I had said this to you before,
00:44:45but the things she has always said about you,
00:44:48about your 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.
00:45:14It will keep me safe from your mother.
00:45:16I will be on a ship in two days,
00:45:18and with any luck,
00:45:19she and I shall never see each other 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.
00:45:35Now go.
00:45:54Are you going to play something?
00:45:58Benedict,
00:46:00I did not realize you were here.
00:46:04I...
00:46:04I wanted to see...
00:46:06how you are.
00:46:09You have already taken on more than enough
00:46:11by tending to the estate.
00:46:16I should have compelled Mr Dunlors to delay the examination.
00:46:20I am sorry.
00:46:21I 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 hoped 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,
00:47:17he wanted you.
00:47:20And it was plain as day
00:47:21to anyone around you
00:47:23how 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.
00:47:38Ah.
00:47:44Uh-huh.
00:48:10I thought...
00:48:13doing things the...
00:48:15proper way
00:48:16made it the...
00:48:18correct 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.
00:48:32I want to celebrate Don's life.
00:48:35Will you help me?
00:48:40What do you mean you lost her?
00:48:42Well, but...
00:48:43She must have climbed out of the window, Mom.
00:48:45I mean, how was I to know the girl possessed such agility?
00:48:48You were supposed to follow her
00:48:50to see if she would lead us to Sophie.
00:48:54Posey!
00:48:55How 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 in 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...
00:49:34I 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
00:50:14to re-enter the marriage part?
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 of that.
00:50:30But then Sophie appeared.
00:50:33And once again, I could not produce an heir.
00:50:38And 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, 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.
00:51:37I thought so as well.
00:51:40But Farley saw her at the market today.
00:51:44Wearing a Bridgerton House uniform.
00:51:50You 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?
00:52:15I 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 were still pretending to go to Penwood House rather 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.
00:52:47When 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.
00:53:11I must get the ladies ready for the festivities.
00:53:34Thank you all for coming.
00:53:39It has been a harrowing set of days, to say the least.
00:53:43But tonight, to stay away with grief and remember the remarkable man that John was.
00:53:48I 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.
00:54:02More like the patience of ten saints.
00:54:04Yes.
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.
00:54:32A 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.
00:54:51You 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 for 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.
00:55:27Now, perhaps we might-
00:55:29I would like to speak.
00:55:38It seems...
00:55:42inconceivable...
00:55:44that he is...
00:55:46gone.
00:55:48I had our entire lives planned.
00:55:50I thought I knew exactly what the future held.
00:55:54And now...
00:55:56it's only a headache.
00:55:58How could a headache take my husband away?
00:56:01For days, all I could think was how it is not fair.
00:56:03John was a good man.
00:56:05He deserved a better fate, a longer life.
00:56:09But that is not how I wish to remember him.
00:56:14It is quite something to spend your entire life feeling like you are somehow...
00:56:18out of place.
00:56:19And then to meet someone who understands you before you even say a word.
00:56:25someone whose singular qualities match your own.
00:56:31Whose kindness makes you feel warm.
00:56:35You can read your mind from across the whole room.
00:56:38John was more than my husband.
00:56:40He was my truest friend.
00:56:42And I may...
00:56:45ache...
00:56:46at present, but...
00:56:49the good John brought into my life...
00:56:51that bond, that understanding, love...
00:56:55far outweighs any pain I feel right now.
00:56:59I would not change it.
00:57:01For anything.
00:57:04To my husband.
00:57:18I thought I might perform a Scottish Highland dance that John and I learned as children.
00:57:25Fran.
00:57:26Will you join me?
00:57:28Yes.
00:57:33Follow my lead.
00:57:34Right.
00:57:35This is the stag, everyone.
00:57:44Wonderful.
00:57:46Wonderful.
00:57:47Right, then we'll go into spinning.
00:57:49And spin.
00:57:52Right, arms.
00:57:53Sweat.
00:57:54Well, do not leave us simply dancing alone.
00:57:56Grab a partner.
00:57:58Come on.
00:57:58Pair up, pair up.
00:57:59Put your drinks down.
00:58:00Get into the stag, everyone.
00:58:04One, two, three, four.
00:58:07Wonderful.
00:58:09And spin.
00:58:13Lovely arm.
00:58:18Switch.
00:58:20Back to the beginning.
00:58:22Yes.
00:58:23Stag.
00:58:24All right, let's go.
00:58:26All right, let's go.
00:58:31And spin.
00:58:36Switch partners.
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.
00:59:38I have left.
00:59:39I have a plan.
00:59:43Go.
00:59:53Good work.
00:59:58Go.
00:59:58Go.
00:59:59Come, Maison.
01:00:19Oh, my God.
01:00:57Oh, my God.
01:01:00Oh, my God.
01:01:15Oh, my God.
01:01:18Oh, my God.
01:01:24Oh, my God.
01:01:26Oh, my God.
01:01:27Oh, my God.
01:01:28Oh, my God.
01:01:32Oh, my God.
01:01:51Oh, my God.
01:02:37Oh, my God.
01:02:40Oh, my God.
01:02:53Oh, my God.
01:02:55Oh, my God.
01:02:57Oh, my God.
01:03:05Oh, my God.
01:03:06Oh, my God.
01:03:36Oh, my God.
01:04:06Oh, my God.
01:04:36Oh, my God.
01:05:10Oh, my God.
01:05:40Oh, my God.
01:06:10Oh, my God.
01:06:40Oh, my God.
01:07:07Oh, my God.
