Short filmTranscript
00:00:05Dearest members of the Tarn, Her Majesty the Queen honours you with her generous invitation
00:00:12to attend the event of the season. It shall be as all balls thrown by your Queen are the
00:00:22grandest night of the year. Full of spectacle, glamour, delights, that sort of thing.
00:00:35Your presence is requested, your style is required, your absence without reason will be noted.
00:00:43The season offers some hope at least, with us in mourning. At least we will not be expected at the
00:00:49Queen's Fall.
00:00:53Apologies, I was simply trying to... Of course I am relieved.
00:00:58Avoiding events was one of my and John's most favourite shared activities.
00:01:05Oh yes, do note that this is an event in honour of Lady Agatha Danbury.
00:01:12She has chosen to depart from London to go elsewhere.
00:01:21The Queen does not seem as slight to Lady Danbury. In this part of the text it's so small,
00:01:29I can hardly read it. Now that the Queen does not have whistle down to antagonise,
00:01:34perhaps she has shifted her animosity. Do you know anything, Beth, about Lady Danbury and the Queen?
00:01:44I cannot say that I do. No. Of course you do not.
00:01:56Ray is a good housekeeper. Just because you're Miss Varley does not mean you could speak to her.
00:02:00Miss Varley? Where would you get such a strange idea? Do not think of her.
00:02:10I have considered leaving every morning until this one. The dowager was rather pleasant on waking.
00:02:20That is because she had that former maid of hers apprehended last night. And this very moment,
00:02:28I believe Lord Stotter may be behind these doors, about to propose to Miss Lee.
00:02:37Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! My wife to be then. I shall see you soon. And with luck, every day
00:02:44after that.
00:02:50You have surely made the match of the season. Look at my ring.
00:02:53Concoction. Both of you must begin planning what you will wear to the Queen's Ball. Surely the perfect
00:02:57place to announce your betrothal. Where are you going, Mama? To the jail, naturally. Do you not know?
00:03:05I heard you were quite helpful in guiding Mama to say- Rosmund!
00:03:09Did you have Sophie arrested? A thief should not evade justice.
00:03:14Sophie is not a thief, Mama. She was never anything but good to us.
00:03:17I do not wish to hear from you on this matter any further. I shall return soon.
00:03:21You have done very well, Rosmund. Are you not going to congratulate me?
00:03:32Congratulations, sister.
00:03:38She is well. It is my fault. I thought you were a thief and helped the dowager Lady Penwood find
00:03:44her.
00:03:44But Miss Posey made it clear I was gravely mistaken. This Sophie worked in this house
00:03:50when it was under the dowager's oversight, yes. But does she have any family?
00:03:54Less words, please. I know who we should speak to.
00:04:08Oh, is that an automated roasting speech?
00:04:15These two have a most urgent matter to discuss with you.
00:04:20Perhaps you could let Hyacinth show you her ribbon collection. She has made quite a few additions lately.
00:04:25Oh, it is not so impressive. I am thinking I might delay going to Eton for some time to spend
00:04:29time with you, Fran.
00:04:30No, please do not do that. I am so grateful to all of you for your support and attention, but...
00:04:36I believe that your sister would like us all to act normally, if only for a time.
00:04:40Yes. Thank you. Perhaps we could talk about someone else instead.
00:04:47How are you, Mother?
00:04:48Oh.
00:04:49How is your friend, Lord Anderson?
00:04:50Lord Anderson? Well, he... well...
00:04:53Mother!
00:04:53I need to speak to you about Sophie.
00:04:55Oh.
00:04:58Forgive me for interrupting.
00:05:00Francesca?
00:05:02Impressive or not, I should like to see that ribbon collection. Come along.
00:05:06You as well, Gregory.
00:05:08Did you ask her?
00:05:09Ask her what?
00:05:10Well, ask who?
00:05:11No, she had gone before I could find her.
00:05:12Well, do you know where she is going?
00:05:14Excuse me, my lady.
00:05:15Sorry, who are we speaking of?
00:05:15Sophie.
00:05:16She has gone to the Americas.
00:05:17I tried to catch her ship, but there were two leaving at once and I could not find her in
00:05:20the crowd.
00:05:21You chased Sophie to the dogs?
00:05:22What is going on, exactly?
00:05:23Your brother is in love with your lady's maid, only she has left us in the middle of the night
00:05:27without saying goodbye.
00:05:28Mom.
00:05:29I am sorry, what?
00:05:30Please do not write about this.
00:05:31I am no longer Lady Whistler.
00:05:32I cannot lose her to the Americas.
00:05:33I need to know how one might charter a boat.
00:05:35If she just left this morning, there may yet be time.
00:05:36It will be all right.
00:05:39Will you all be quiet a moment?
00:05:43Please.
00:05:44Hazel has something to tell you.
00:05:46I'm so sorry to interrupt, but I have good news and bad news.
00:05:51The good news being Mr. Bridgerton will not be needing a boat.
00:05:59Someone is here to see you.
00:06:09Hello Sophie.
00:06:10How rude.
00:06:12You should be grateful the lady has even come to such an undesirable place.
00:06:16Especially as I have come to help you.
00:06:18Help me?
00:06:18Yes.
00:06:19I want to be generous.
00:06:20You could avoid a trial, your public humiliation,
00:06:25any possible damage to the Bridgerton household for harbouring you.
00:06:29How?
00:06:29A confession.
00:06:31Of course, it would make all this far easier if you admit you impersonated someone you are not.
00:06:37That you stole from me.
00:06:38I did not.
00:06:39You did.
00:06:42You have stolen everything from me.
00:06:46And I will not give you what is left by confessing to make your life easier.
00:06:51You have always made poor choices.
00:06:55At least now, you shall get what you deserve.
00:06:59Guard!
00:07:00I am finished here.
00:07:02This will not go well for you.
00:07:08Without any witness to speak on your behalf,
00:07:11and based on the sworn testimony of the Dowager Lady Penwood...
00:07:15Sir, please, I...
00:07:15Miss Beck, I must remind you that you are not to speak.
00:07:19At this time, I have no choice but to sentence you...
00:07:22Sir!
00:07:22I must ask you to release this woman at once.
00:07:24What is the meaning of this?
00:07:25Who, sir, are you?
00:07:28Benedict Bridgerton.
00:07:29Son to the late Viscount Edmund Bridgerton, and brother to the Viscount Anthony Bridgerton.
00:07:33And brother to the Duke of Hastings.
00:07:35Mr. Bridgerton is a second son.
00:07:37The girl is accused of stealing from a county.
00:07:39You besmirched my honour over a pair of shoe clips.
00:07:42They must have been tremendously valuable.
00:07:44Sir, Miss Beck has been in my employ for months now,
00:07:46and we can attest, based on her character, that these charges are certain to be unfounded.
00:07:51They are certainly not.
00:07:52Do you have any proof?
00:07:53Please, I urge you all to maintain decorum and act in accordance with your rank and dignity.
00:08:00Lady Penwood, if this family were willing to pay you the cost of your shoe clips,
00:08:04would you retract your accusations against Miss Beck?
00:08:08Yes, we are happy to pay.
00:08:09That will be insufficient, as she also stands accused of impersonating a lady.
00:08:14A lady in a silver dress at the very masquerade ball held by the Dowager Lady Bridgerton.
00:08:19I will have justice!
00:08:20Then we shall need time to mount a defence for Miss Beck.
00:08:22What kind of defence can there possibly be,
00:08:24except that she has clearly clouded Mr. Bridgerton's judgement by seducing it?
00:08:27I did no such thing.
00:08:28How dare you imply that my son is-
00:08:30Order! I will have order!
00:08:33Magistrate Burton, we will provide Miss Beck with a barrister.
00:08:36Until then, I wonder if you would be so kind as to save me from distress.
00:08:40She is a lady's maid in my employ and I cannot manage without her services.
00:08:43I must beg for your aid.
00:08:45Might you release her into my custody until things are set to rights?
00:08:51We would be so grateful that you indulge my poor mother.
00:08:56I will release Miss Beck on bail, on condition that she remain in the Bridgerton household.
00:09:02And you will guarantee she does not leave such household.
00:09:05But might I suggest, talk with one another.
00:09:10Unless you are able to reach an agreement amongst yourselves, we will meet again in a week's time to determine
00:09:16Miss Beck's fate.
00:09:23There is to be no agreement. She is going to prison.
00:09:27Oh, we shall see about that.
00:09:29What do you think the Queen will say when she finds out you are harbouring a criminal?
00:09:32Why not you allowed to step outside her station and seduce your son?
00:09:36Do you think she will allow you to remain in society?
00:09:40Shall we find out?
00:10:02I cannot thank both of you enough. I am grateful, but you should not have gone to the trouble.
00:10:07I will not hear of it. Why did you not send word to us? Would the constable not let you?
00:10:11No, I thought perhaps I had done enough to push you all the way.
00:10:16Escaping in the night as I did, I did not wish to burden you any further.
00:10:19Well, it is a good thing we were alert. You have a great many people who care for you, Sophia.
00:10:23I hope you see that.
00:10:25Our trials are not over though. If the dowager Lady Penwood does not win her case in court, she may
00:10:29try to win it in public.
00:10:31And if the Queen finds out about your attachment, well, could create a scandal so large that even your leaving
00:10:37for the country would hardly dampen the effects it might have on your younger siblings' prospects.
00:10:40There is no easy solution to that. I am glad you're here. Safely with us, Sophie. Welcome home.
00:10:51Your room is all made up and ready, but do let us know if there's anything we have forgotten.
00:10:56I do not understand. My room is upstairs in the servants' quarters.
00:10:59Not anymore.
00:11:00Lady Bridgerton has informed us that you are to be our guest until all this with a trial blows over.
00:11:06Or until you formalise your attachment with Mr. Bridgerton.
00:11:09Why did you not say?
00:11:11They have no attachment, Hazel.
00:11:15Though Lady Bridgerton has made it clear that her son is not to cross this hall to your room for
00:11:20any reason, or you to his.
00:11:22Of course.
00:11:23I have eyes everywhere.
00:11:29Come along, Hazel.
00:11:48How long have you known?
00:11:50I found your necklace in my bedroom last night.
00:11:54The lady in silver, she wore this very same pendant.
00:11:57I never wished to lie to you, I only...
00:12:01I could not stand to think of your disappointment.
00:12:04Upon learning that the woman you searched for all that time would turn out not to be an enchanting young
00:12:08lady, but...
00:12:10me.
00:12:11The very last thing I feel knowing it was you is disappointment.
00:12:16I spent so much of my life feeling alone in a crowded room.
00:12:22I fell for you at the masquerade because...
00:12:26you saw me?
00:12:29Just me.
00:12:32What kind of a man would I be if I only ever saw you as the lady in silver?
00:12:37And yet, all this time, you did not believe that I could handle the truth.
00:12:43Perhaps because your love for me is not what I thought it was.
00:12:55Benedict.
00:12:58Forgive me.
00:12:59Mrs. Wilson has sent me to keep watch and ensure that both of you keep to your separate rooms.
00:13:05I could use a lie down.
00:13:14We should hope at the very least to keep Sophie out of prison.
00:13:18I hesitate to ask something of you so close to your departure, but in a perfect world?
00:13:24Well, the Queen's blessing that their union might protect us all from a scandal.
00:13:28It is quite the fantastical tale.
00:13:32The maid, the gentleman, in love.
00:13:35And Babs, too fantastical for Her Majesty to accept.
00:13:38The Queen has waged a great deal on Benedict's getting married this season.
00:13:45It is unlikely, but I am happy to try.
00:13:48Also, I believe her father to be of nobility.
00:13:51Or does that help our case at all?
00:13:54Not if the mother was a maid.
00:13:56Even if Sophie had not been relegated to the position of maid herself, the ton would never accept.
00:14:01A gentleman marrying a girl of illegitimate origins.
00:14:06And I am afraid the best they can hope for is to slip quietly away to the countryside together.
00:14:17I can delay my trip.
00:14:18Stay, make sure that if any scandal erupts that I am here.
00:14:22Agatha, no.
00:14:24It is your time.
00:14:26I appreciate you trying with the Queen, but no.
00:14:29No, you must go, Violet Bridgerton.
00:14:36I will miss you.
00:14:38No, it's...
00:14:39I will miss you too.
00:14:41Very much.
00:14:52May I help you, Miss Beck?
00:14:54Sophie will do, John.
00:14:58Did anyone call for me?
00:15:00No.
00:15:01I do not believe so.
00:15:14You look handsome tonight, John.
00:15:18Are you being quite serious?
00:15:20Of course I am.
00:15:22Because I have not been certain if you are interested.
00:15:26You do have something of a reputation.
00:15:29That was all before I met you.
00:15:36I thought perhaps...
00:15:37I've been trying to figure out how to sneak into yours as well.
00:15:44I was furious when you did not recognise me.
00:15:46I know.
00:15:49I am sorry.
00:15:50I was furious at first.
00:15:52But then I realised it does not matter, Benedict.
00:15:54You have shown me a tremendous amount of love.
00:15:57More than I have felt in a very long time.
00:16:00And my inability to believe in it.
00:16:03The only other person in my life I was sure loved me was my father.
00:16:07He was the sixth Earl of Penwood.
00:16:09Richard Gunn.
00:16:10He promised he would always take care of me.
00:16:12And I trusted that.
00:16:14I trusted his love.
00:16:16But after his death it became clear that I had been mistaken in both cases.
00:16:20Is it because of him you became a maid?
00:16:24He provided nothing for me in his will.
00:16:27Araminta made that very clear.
00:16:29Did you see this will for yourself?
00:16:32No, I did not wish to be further crushed.
00:16:40Sophie, it is clear that woman despises you.
00:16:44From the very day she met me.
00:16:46What reason would you have to believe her about your father?
00:16:54I do not know.
00:16:58I simply believed her.
00:17:02Believed that my father would have forgotten me.
00:17:07Believed that the love I felt in my head was made up from the beginning.
00:17:10Believed that I should not expect you to recognise me or love me or commit to me.
00:17:15Sophie, of course I love you.
00:17:21Do you believe me now?
00:17:24I did not help. I should never have asked you to be my mistress.
00:17:27I am forever sorry.
00:17:29Last night I came back here for a reason.
00:17:31To ask you the question I should have asked you all along.
00:17:35Do not.
00:17:36Not now.
00:17:38I have my family's blessing, Sophie.
00:17:43Not with a trial hanging over us.
00:17:45Your family's reputation at stake let us wait.
00:17:51I love you.
00:17:54I love you, Benedict.
00:18:17I love you, Benedict.
00:18:28Will you join me?
00:19:00I love you, Benedict.
00:19:00The Hand지만 will be called on together.
00:19:00I love you, Benedict.
00:19:00He will be called on Meredith.
00:19:10Here to meet you.
00:19:11Rarely!
00:19:26Let's go.
00:19:42Then we will not.
00:19:49Don't know.
00:20:12Don't know.
00:20:14Don't know.
00:20:16Don't know.
00:20:17Don't know.
00:20:20Don't know.
00:20:21Don't know.
00:20:22Don't know.
00:20:23Don't know.
00:20:24Don't know.
00:20:51Don't know.
00:20:53Don't know.
00:20:53Miss Bridgerton, I hope you are not cross with me.
00:20:55Oh, I am positively outraged.
00:21:00But the most interesting thing ever to happen in my home happened right under my nose and
00:21:03I was blind to it the entire time.
00:21:07Good.
00:21:08Because I would like to ask you a favour.
00:21:11I would like your help getting into Penwood House.
00:21:17I am delighted you have come to call.
00:21:19A little surprised, but delighted.
00:21:23I am all for putting the past in the past.
00:21:25Yes.
00:21:26As am I.
00:21:28Well, we do have a good many things to discuss that should occupy us for a good many minutes.
00:21:34I am all is.
00:21:35Yes.
00:21:36I had heard you repaint it with pink.
00:21:40And I wanted to tell you how splendid it looked.
00:21:42It is so...
00:21:45You.
00:21:50Alfie.
00:21:51What are you doing here?
00:21:52My father's will.
00:21:53I believe it...
00:21:55I believe it is in the study.
00:21:57Araminta is trying to put me behind bars and I must know what it says before she succeeds.
00:22:08You should sit before you wear a line in that rug.
00:22:12Apologies.
00:22:13I know that Lady Danby was not optimistic, but I am certain everything will work out.
00:22:18We will find a way.
00:22:20We always do.
00:22:26So, Sophie was the lady in silver.
00:22:29Well, I think the Earl of Penwood's daughter deserved to attend the ball at some point.
00:22:34Hmm?
00:22:37If we survive this chapter, what if I cannot do it?
00:22:42Moving permanently to the countryside.
00:22:45Being a husband.
00:22:46Do you doubt your feelings for Sophie?
00:22:49No, I doubt myself.
00:22:50Why, Benedict?
00:22:52Have I not been disappointing you my entire life?
00:22:55I am never disappointed in my children.
00:23:00Oh, well, maybe I have been hard on you at times, but there is a reason for that.
00:23:06It is because in many ways I was most like you as a child.
00:23:11What do you mean?
00:23:13Children have an easier time imagining a ghost in a darkened hallway than they do imagining their mother as a
00:23:18youth.
00:23:19In fairness, I have mostly forgotten that girl myself.
00:23:24What was she like?
00:23:26She was impulsive, passionate, wild, carefree, filled with a burning desire to experience all that life had to offer, and
00:23:36constantly wishing to do the opposite of what her parents wanted.
00:23:39Anthony is just like your father.
00:23:43But you, you are my son.
00:23:46Through and through.
00:23:48What happened to her?
00:23:50I fell in love.
00:23:52A love that made all my wild rebellion grow quiet, and still, I did not need it anymore.
00:23:57I was just happy.
00:24:01That is what I feel for Sophie.
00:24:03Then your love will make you capable of anything you put your mind to.
00:24:07I hope you have not left that wild, carefree young girl behind.
00:24:14She sounds delightful in her own right.
00:24:19She will.
00:24:32She will.
00:24:46It has to be in here.
00:24:57Lily thought she saw you walking up.
00:24:59I had to see for myself.
00:25:01Emma.
00:25:01Do you know where the key for this is?
00:25:03We're looking for her father's will.
00:25:05I have seen his lordship open that.
00:25:07With the key from this drawer.
00:25:16Which one is it?
00:25:18Your guess is as good as mine.
00:25:26And will you be using this shade of pink for your country state as well?
00:25:33Eloise.
00:25:34I find it most difficult to believe that you came here today to compliment my taste in colours.
00:25:40Why?
00:25:42Can a young lady not simply wish to discuss the colour pink?
00:25:45I know why you are truly here.
00:25:49You have finally succumbed to the mania.
00:25:54The marriage mania.
00:25:56It's clear you are at last imagining what it would be like to have a husband one day.
00:26:01And you wish to know what it is like.
00:26:03Oh.
00:26:04Yes.
00:26:05I am quite overcome with the madness.
00:26:10It was difficult last season.
00:26:12Not having a shared dream for the future between us.
00:26:15I do understand your view of things.
00:26:17How marriage steals independence and liberty.
00:26:19Mary Wollstonecraft and all that.
00:26:21You read Mary Wollstonecraft?
00:26:23You would not stop talking about her last season.
00:26:26And what else was I supposed to do in Wales?
00:26:29She has some good ideas.
00:26:31The truth is, she does not sufficiently value love.
00:26:35It has the power to change one's life Eloise.
00:26:39Yes.
00:26:41I am starting to see that.
00:26:52Well done.
00:26:57This is the one.
00:27:07Richard Gunn, the sixth thirl of Penwood.
00:27:12He bequeaths an additional £4,000 to Araminta for every year she houses me.
00:27:17Oh my goodness.
00:27:18That's why she kept you on.
00:27:20She was profiting off you.
00:27:24So I think.
00:27:26What is it?
00:27:31I can see that marriage has been of great benefit to you.
00:27:34At the very least, it has had the power to give me the drawing room of my dreams.
00:27:39It is quite an improvement on Cowper House, is it not?
00:27:43You never belonged in that house.
00:27:45Or with your parents.
00:27:48I should like to apologise.
00:27:50All that business with you nearly having to marry a man three times your age last season.
00:27:55I was far too self-interested, really, to appreciate how difficult that must have been.
00:28:02And how much your success on the marriage mark mattered to you.
00:28:10And all is well.
00:28:11Everything has worked out exactly as it should.
00:28:17It has indeed.
00:28:21After all that, the shoe clips turned out to be fake.
00:28:28Is this what passes for gossip these days?
00:28:31I do not care about shoe clips or maids.
00:28:35No matter what I may think of the dowager Lady Penwood, if the magistrate sees fit to charge the girl,
00:28:42so be it.
00:28:43The dowager also means to impress upon your majesty that this maid seduced a gentleman.
00:28:55Benedict Bridgerton.
00:28:58The most eligible suitor of the season.
00:29:02Seduced by a maid?
00:29:04No.
00:29:06Is it true?
00:29:07No, it is not true.
00:29:10She did not have to seduce him because he loves her.
00:29:15Against all reason and expectation, they have formed an attachment.
00:29:21She saved his life in the countryside and he fell for her as she nursed him back to health.
00:29:26A man, once thought, never able to commit, moved by the simple grace and beauty of a girl of humble
00:29:33origins.
00:29:34Your majesty, you were right all along.
00:29:37Benedict Bridgerton is ready for marriage after all.
00:29:44It is unfortunate.
00:29:46I was right all along, casting my wager.
00:29:49But I will lose still.
00:29:51Your majesty.
00:29:53Benedict Bridgerton cannot marry a maid, can he?
00:29:57I had hoped we could make one last great match together, Lady Danbury.
00:30:02It is a shame for us to go out on a loss.
00:30:05Tell me, Brinsley, how is the ball coming along?
00:30:09Extremely well, your majesty.
00:30:16What do you know about what is going on with Benedict Bridgerton?
00:30:20You've been spending a great deal of time together this season.
00:30:22What do you know?
00:30:24You know something. You have been withholding from me.
00:30:27If you know I've been withholding something, then you have been withholding something as well.
00:30:35All I know, there is a lower-class girl, someone he knows he should not be with.
00:30:38It is a maid at Bridgerton House. I overheard them.
00:30:41They are in love, and the Dowager Lady Penwood is trying to send her to prison.
00:30:46This morning, I spent four hours helping the Queen decide on florals for her ball.
00:30:54Yesterday, there was a debate over whether the Pomeranian should be shaved to resemble lions.
00:30:58The day before that-
00:30:59Alice.
00:31:01We can move to the country if you're unhappy with your position.
00:31:04No. No, we cannot.
00:31:06One does not simply walk away from the Queen.
00:31:08And I do not wish to, but I wish to do something of meaning, Will.
00:31:12Lady Danbury helped the Queen reshape our society.
00:31:15I am decorating.
00:31:18I'm not even decorating, I am saying yes or no while the servants decorate.
00:31:22You and I, we were given this life out of thin air.
00:31:27And it has been wonderful.
00:31:29And we are enjoying ourselves at last, but I should like to help others enjoy it as well.
00:31:34If I involve myself in trying to help this maid,
00:31:37either it will finally earn me the Queen's close confidence,
00:31:41or it will ruin this family.
00:31:42I should like to do it either way.
00:31:45You have my full support then.
00:31:53She hasn't been gone that long, Reverend Diggs.
00:31:58Oh, Mrs. 100.
00:32:00Good day.
00:32:00Alice, unfortunately now is not an ideal time.
00:32:02Yes, I know.
00:32:03Lady Danbury had little success with the Queen.
00:32:06But I have an idea for another approach.
00:32:18My mother and I have been so worried for you.
00:32:20Forgive me, the new Lady Penwood insisted on Miss Bridget and staying for tea.
00:32:24How did it go?
00:32:26I saw my father's will.
00:32:29What is it?
00:32:31My father.
00:32:34He kept his promise.
00:32:36Posey, Rosamond, myself.
00:32:40He left us each an equal portion dowry.
00:32:44He loved me.
00:32:50Of course he did.
00:32:51How could anyone not?
00:32:56You were not going to prison.
00:32:59The dowager Lady Penwood stole your dowry.
00:33:01That makes her a liar and a thief.
00:33:03She has not already spent at all.
00:33:05I have a dowry.
00:33:07It still does not make me legitimate or an appropriate match for a gentleman.
00:33:10I do not care about the money.
00:33:12And I do not care about whether you are appropriate or not.
00:33:15Mrs. Mondrich came to call.
00:33:16She is one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting.
00:33:20She has a plan to help us.
00:33:22What is it?
00:33:24We will have to find you a dress.
00:33:26Because you are going to the Queen's Ball tomorrow.
00:33:37It is a game for two.
00:33:40Forgive me.
00:33:42It is my family.
00:33:43There is a scandal brewing.
00:33:46A scandal?
00:33:48Do you tell?
00:33:54Benedict, my brother, is in love with a maid.
00:33:59My family, we are all supporting them.
00:34:02But everyone else in the town will surely be up in arms if they find out.
00:34:05Which, I confess, does feel rather trivial compared to...
00:34:16Now is when you choose to hold your tongue.
00:34:20I am only surprised.
00:34:22Your family is surprising.
00:34:26I would not blame you for distancing yourself from us.
00:34:29From me.
00:34:30No.
00:34:31I meant surprising in a good way.
00:34:34Love does not always look how one expects, I imagine.
00:34:37I am not one to judge the happiness of others.
00:34:42I am relieved to hear you say so.
00:34:48I had hoped, if you were not concerned by our continued association,
00:34:53that you might consider staying here in London until a new heir is found.
00:34:58I am here.
00:34:59I know.
00:35:01But I suppose I am feeling...
00:35:04a suspense about when you might leave again,
00:35:08as you so rarely stay in one place for long.
00:35:09You are the only other person who truly understands.
00:35:15If you would like it, I shall stay.
00:35:19It would mean a great deal to me.
00:35:22I feel very close to you, Michaela.
00:35:26As do I.
00:35:44Look what one of the maids helped me rescue from the bin.
00:35:47Slightly rumpled, but I think it gives it character, no?
00:35:52Need not have bothered.
00:35:55Ah.
00:35:56I take it you are still planning not to debut.
00:36:02I must say, I think that would be a mistake.
00:36:06You cannot be serious.
00:36:09After you incessantly mocked my lesson...
00:36:11In my defence, they were extremely mockable.
00:36:15I thought you would be thrilled.
00:36:18Now you will not grow old alone.
00:36:20We can be spinsters together.
00:36:27As wonderful as that sounds, I know it's not genuinely what you want.
00:36:34It is alright to be frightened.
00:36:36What happened to John, it is beyond awful.
00:36:39It frightens me too more than I care to admit.
00:36:42Some things are out of our control.
00:36:44What is in our control is our ability to support one another.
00:36:47And ensure that we do not allow fear to keep us from experiencing something that could be truly special.
00:36:52Now you are a proponent of marriage.
00:36:55Proponent is far too strong a word.
00:36:57But after spending a season by your side, I can see that on occasion, marriage might have its advantages.
00:37:05Companionship, family, a prime-seater soiree.
00:37:09And then, if not for mother and father's marriage, we would not all have each other.
00:37:15Which seems a rather large reward.
00:37:18Most of the time, anyway.
00:37:23I suppose your points have some merit.
00:37:26Though if I am to one day find the right husband, I think I should like to get to know
00:37:32myself better first.
00:37:36An excellent plan.
00:37:57The season will not be the same without you, Lady Danbury.
00:38:00Well, I have no doubt you will still find ways of enjoying yourselves.
00:38:06You will be missed greatly.
00:38:08By the Queen, most of all.
00:38:17Well, here's to us.
00:38:29Tonight is our night, Rosamund.
00:38:31Let us greet Lord Stotter.
00:38:33And then we shall speak to the Queen and settle the matter of Sophie.
00:38:41We can do this.
00:38:43We can do this.
00:38:45Are we certain we can do this?
00:38:47Would it not be better to wait until we see the magistrate?
00:38:49It may be too late by then if we dare to get to the Queen tonight.
00:38:52Mrs Mondridge will arrange everything.
00:38:56You will just have to tuck in close as we sneak you in.
00:39:00Hopefully, the last time.
00:39:05Your party.
00:39:06Violet Bridgerton.
00:39:07The dowager lady Bridgerton.
00:39:10Plus, plus three?
00:39:12Something like that.
00:39:13Yes, so many children.
00:39:18Bridgertons, come with me.
00:39:26Wait, what are we meant to do now then?
00:39:28It's strange not to be at the very centre of scandal for once.
00:39:31Let us enjoy it then.
00:39:34May I have this dance?
00:39:46Miss Posey.
00:39:48Miss Bridgerton.
00:39:51Oh, no.
00:39:53I do not know if you know, but I was not part of...
00:39:56No, I assumed not.
00:39:57I was simply greeting you.
00:39:59Hmph.
00:39:59Though perhaps I should not.
00:40:00Your mother may disapprove.
00:40:06But do not let her dictate what you do.
00:40:08A friend of mine has a mother not too dissimilar to yours.
00:40:11And that friend has done very well for herself now.
00:40:13Truly.
00:40:21You have the interest of Lord Barnaby.
00:40:24He does ask me to dance from time to time, but my mother's efforts are concentrated on my sister this
00:40:31season.
00:40:34Oh, I should not let her dictate the matters of my heart like that.
00:40:40Lord Barnaby is most eligible.
00:40:42And your mother and sister are occupied.
00:40:50Very well.
00:41:01Miss Posey.
00:41:03Will you at last accept my offer of a dance?
00:41:13Lady Penwood.
00:41:14Lady Penwood.
00:41:15You are being summoned.
00:41:17Am I being summoned by the Queen?
00:41:21That's easier than I thought.
00:41:27Come along, Posey.
00:41:29Now.
00:41:32Excuse me.
00:41:42What is this?
00:41:43I thought the Queen was to join us.
00:41:45I believe you will be glad she is elsewhere for the moment.
00:41:49Sophie?
00:41:50Ma, what is she doing here?
00:41:53Seven years.
00:41:56Seven long years I spent serving you in my own home.
00:41:59I asked you the day you kicked me out why you kept me so long.
00:42:02And I know now it was never out of any goodness.
00:42:05But only because my father promised you an extra stipend for every year you kept me on.
00:42:09But you were never meant to keep me on as a maid.
00:42:12How did you know that?
00:42:13I saw the will.
00:42:14And I also saw that my father left me a dowry.
00:42:16Mother.
00:42:17Quiet, Posey.
00:42:17Three equal parts.
00:42:19One for Rosamond, one for Posey, and one for myself.
00:42:23Yet I venture to guess that what you have promised Lord Stutter is double what you have told Posey she
00:42:27is to receive.
00:42:28Doubled by the embezzlement of my portion.
00:42:30This is preposterous.
00:42:32How dare you accuse my mother of such a thing?
00:42:35Eighteen thousand pounds.
00:42:40What is yours?
00:42:44Did you not believe my beauty and charm were enough on their own to make a match?
00:42:49You believed I needed thirty-six thousand pounds?
00:42:51This is all beside the point.
00:42:53She stole from me.
00:42:54I was the one who stole the shoe clips, Mama.
00:42:59It is not about the shoe clips.
00:43:03The money for your dowry.
00:43:05It was our money.
00:43:06It should have been our money.
00:43:07But you stole it from us.
00:43:09You stole him from us.
00:43:12My girls needed a father.
00:43:14They needed his love.
00:43:16I needed his love.
00:43:18But instead you were there.
00:43:22Araminta, he loved you too.
00:43:24I saw it.
00:43:25And you have the love of your daughters.
00:43:28Both of them.
00:43:29Do not take it for granted.
00:43:31Trust me.
00:43:31It serves no one.
00:43:34Richard was a good man.
00:43:36But he lived in a dream world.
00:43:38He thrust his greatest mistake upon me with no notice or warning and left me to face the consequences of
00:43:43harbouring an illegitimate child.
00:43:44I have done nothing but try to protect both of my girls.
00:43:48Ma, we've never been in jeopardy because of Sophie.
00:43:55And I am tired of talking about her.
00:44:01It's still a matter of you impersonating nobility.
00:44:04Oh, that I think we can settle ourselves.
00:44:06As you have committed a far greater crime.
00:44:09Embezzlement of a dowry.
00:44:11Dishonouring the late Earl's will and estate.
00:44:14I will not go to prison.
00:44:18If you ruin me, I will ruin her.
00:44:21And vice versa.
00:44:23It is simple.
00:44:24We shall all agree to a more mutually beneficial recounting of events.
00:44:45It is a beautiful evening.
00:44:48Yes.
00:44:54Your Majesty.
00:44:55Mrs Mondridge.
00:44:57Are you quite well?
00:44:58Your Majesty, I have prepared something for you.
00:45:00The maid, Benedict Bridgerton, is in love with.
00:45:02She is here.
00:45:05What do you mean, she is here?
00:45:07I have arranged for her to be here so that you might see what is between her and Mr Bridgerton.
00:45:11Because I believe if you were to witness it in person, you will see the love they show as-
00:45:15Mrs Mondridge.
00:45:17Mrs Mondridge.
00:45:17Get her out of here.
00:45:18Oh, Your Majesty, perhaps-
00:45:21I will not.
00:45:25Once upon a time, there were royals living in a palace who wished for you to go away.
00:45:31But you stayed.
00:45:32And you are the most fascinating woman to have sat on the throne in a very long time.
00:45:37You are a patron of music, of the arts.
00:45:40You have zebras in your gardens and you love gossip.
00:45:43You are a woman of many interests, but you are missing the largest portion of what is amusing in the
00:45:49world by ignoring those of the lower classes.
00:45:51Because, with all respect to you, Lady Danbury, not every maid is humble or graceful or simple.
00:45:57The woman Benedict Bridgerton is in love with?
00:46:00A woman capable of making that man settle down?
00:46:03That woman is sure to be full of vim and vigor.
00:46:06A spitfire so full of life that she has a countess setting foot in a prison because she is so
00:46:11obsessed with this woman.
00:46:12Your Majesty, you are missing all the good gossip.
00:46:27That is too far. I will not do it.
00:46:29You will. And you will retreat to your country estate for the remainder of the season.
00:46:33Well, Mr Bridgerton, I am told you are in love.
00:46:39Yes, Your Majesty.
00:46:44May I present Miss Sophie Gunn.
00:46:49Gunn?
00:46:51As in the late Lord Penwood?
00:46:53She is the daughter of his cousin.
00:46:55Were you not just saying how much they resembled each other, Lady Penwood?
00:47:05I was.
00:47:06She has spent most of her life in the country and has only just come to town.
00:47:11I thought you said...
00:47:12I was mistaken, Your Majesty.
00:47:33Do you speak?
00:47:34Yes, Your Majesty.
00:47:35Is what they say true?
00:47:38That you are a relation of the late Earl.
00:47:46I can say with complete conviction, Your Majesty, that I am by birth and by education a daughter of Penwood
00:47:51House.
00:48:00You would have made a wonderful diamond.
00:48:06Very well, then.
00:48:09Was there something of interest about shoe clips?
00:48:14No, Your Majesty.
00:48:15I do not believe so.
00:48:16I think there was.
00:48:18But carry on.
00:48:26I do not believe so.
00:48:35We are cousins then.
00:48:35I do not believe so.
00:48:41I say that I am being the victim of an asset.
00:48:46My cousins then.
00:48:48I do not believe so.
00:48:49We are sisters.
00:48:54I think young Violet would be quite impressed by you today.
00:48:59I think she would.
00:49:05That was quite a risk you took.
00:49:08Yes, Your Majesty.
00:49:09You're lucky I went along with it.
00:49:11Yes, Your Majesty.
00:49:13Run along.
00:49:22Did you hear?
00:49:24Apparently Lord Stotter is not content with Miss Leigh's now inadequate dowry.
00:49:29Well, he has always been known to be a fortune hunter.
00:49:31Miss Leigh is not my favourite, but I imagine the family rather needed one of the girls to make a
00:49:36match this season.
00:49:40Something tells me all will be well.
00:49:45Oh.
00:49:54Oh, my lady, forgive me for coming so late.
00:49:59I hope you've not come to bed for your position back, Farley.
00:50:02Because if you have, I'm afraid I must tell you that we are more than satisfied with Ray.
00:50:07No, certainly not.
00:50:09I am headed to the country for a new position.
00:50:12And I have come for some of my things before I leave town.
00:50:16I left behind a few books in my rush to depart.
00:50:21Did we not tease Penelope about her reading together?
00:50:24I do not remember you picking up a single book.
00:50:27Well, I also came for an apology.
00:50:29I never got one.
00:50:30An apology?
00:50:31From me?
00:50:32About what?
00:50:33For taking me for granted.
00:50:34For treating me like family and then working me like a dog and paying me worse than that.
00:50:39I think that is highly unfair.
00:50:42You will not be getting an apology from me.
00:50:44You will not be very well.
00:50:53Perhaps, perhaps I could possibly be apologetic about one or two things.
00:51:09Those, er, dresses that I offered you, they were clearly out of season.
00:51:15I should have found you something nicer.
00:51:19Or paid you more.
00:51:22That will do.
00:51:24I forgive you.
00:51:25Oh, Farley.
00:51:27I have missed you.
00:51:29Oh, I cannot begin to tell you.
00:51:31That Penwood woman, she made work in here seem like a holiday.
00:51:34I was only going to the countryside because she came home tonight in a foul mood and dismissed me.
00:51:38Dismissed you?
00:51:39What sort of a fool would do such a thing?
00:51:45Well, we cannot have you going to the countryside.
00:51:48Oh, but you have Ray.
00:51:50Yes.
00:51:51But it is a very large house.
00:51:55Mr. Cosmet.
00:51:58Yes, he has formed an attachment, Miss Sophie Gunn, a relation of the late Lord Penwood.
00:52:12Miss Sophie Gunn, may I have your first dance?
00:52:30You may, Mr. Bridgerton.
00:52:33Miss Sophie Gunn, may I have your first dance, Miss Sophie Gunn, may I have your first dance.
00:53:04Miss Sophie Gunn, may I have your first dance, Miss Sophie Gunn, may I have your first dance.
00:53:29Was that not absurd?
00:53:32It was a truly mad plan.
00:53:36She is certainly full of new energy, that Mrs. Mondridge.
00:53:40Though I do not know if her plan worked because she planned it well
00:53:43or because of the sheer lack of a plan.
00:53:45Well, she was right about one thing.
00:53:47You do enjoy being amused.
00:53:58Ridiculous.
00:53:59It is the best thing to happen all season.
00:54:01No.
00:54:02The best thing to happen all season is that you are sure to win your wager with Mrs. Bridgerton.
00:54:10Oh, yes.
00:54:12The bet shall be settled.
00:54:25That was fun, Lady Dambry.
00:54:36We have such fun together.
00:54:38Yes, we do.
00:54:43I will miss you.
00:54:49Oh, brother.
00:54:53I command these to stop.
00:54:56To stop.
00:55:10How does it feel to be officially recognized as a penwood?
00:55:14Strange.
00:55:16But good.
00:55:17Would you mind if I cut it short then?
00:55:18Because I would very much like to make you a Bridgerton.
00:55:36Will you marry me?
00:55:40Yes.
00:55:41Yes, I will.
00:55:42I will.
00:55:43I remember.
00:55:48I'm not going to sleep.
00:55:49I will be.
00:55:50I will be.
00:55:55I will be.
00:55:59I will be.
00:56:04I will.
00:56:05I will be.
00:56:11I will be.
00:56:30I'm overjoyed at how things have worked in your son's favour.
00:56:33Oh, as am I.
00:56:34The two of them can marry properly and stay here in town now if they wish.
00:56:39They are a legitimate pair as far as anyone is concerned.
00:56:42Very good.
00:56:44And now we may at last make our announcement joyfully and without concern.
00:56:48Shall we tell your children tonight?
00:56:52Something the matter.
00:57:02I, um...
00:57:07It has been our other eventful evening.
00:57:09Are we not perhaps rushing things?
00:57:11I do not see any reason we should delay.
00:57:15Unless you see one that I'm not aware of.
00:57:18One I should be made aware of.
00:57:21I have been hesitant because of my children.
00:57:24Because of my late husband.
00:57:26Because of Francesca.
00:57:29But today I came to understand another source of my hesitation.
00:57:33Which is?
00:57:34I have been a wife and a mother for so long.
00:57:38I have lost perspective entirely on who I was before that.
00:57:42I am only just starting to get reacquainted with that part of myself.
00:57:45My carefree, wild self.
00:57:47And I am afraid that if we are to end, then I would lose that opportunity.
00:57:53And yet I do not want to lose you either.
00:57:57I do not understand, then.
00:57:58Oh, would it not?
00:58:01Could we not continue as we are?
00:58:07Seeing one another.
00:58:10Still having our independence.
00:58:15Violet.
00:58:16I want so much for your happiness.
00:58:20But I want for my own as well.
00:58:23Our time together has been a gift.
00:58:25I want to share a life with you.
00:58:28And I would wait if I believed you may one day want the same.
00:58:33But I'm starting to doubt that you do.
00:58:35Please, Marcus, please.
00:58:37I...
00:58:39I care for you deeply.
00:58:43I know.
00:58:44I feel that you do.
00:58:55Dearest gentle reader.
00:58:58Are you perhaps feeling a little shock?
00:59:06Have you seen Miss Sterling tonight?
00:59:08Has she gone to bed already?
00:59:10Did Miss Sterling not inform you?
00:59:11Of what?
00:59:13She's packed her belongings and left.
00:59:15You thought I was gone for good.
00:59:26But far too much transpires with this author to remain silent.
00:59:43And so we are reunited.
00:59:46What are we doing?
00:59:47I desire to dance with my betrothed.
01:00:09You are rather skilled, even with no music.
01:00:12But it's all the more remarkable if you knew who my first dance tutor was.
01:00:16I had so much to overcome.
01:00:19It is assuredly a reunion rooted in care and love.
01:00:33I thought you were done with Whistledown.
01:00:36I am.
01:00:37I am working on my novel.
01:00:41And who in the devil wrote this?
01:00:43Though this time with a very different author.
01:00:55It is midnight.
01:00:56It is midnight.
01:00:56Must you flee?
01:01:01I can stay.
01:01:03As long as you like.
01:01:11I was hoping you might stay forever.
01:01:17But for now, my new identity shall remain a secret.
01:01:37Dear Rita, we are going to have so much fun.
01:01:51You are going to have so much fun.
01:01:51Thank you, God.
01:03:22Listen to me again.
01:03:24Father would be so proud of you.
01:03:27I know I am.
01:03:33Who's wedding do you think we will be attending next?
01:03:36Oh, I do love a wedding.
01:03:38All the best people in the same place.
01:03:41As an attendee.
01:03:46Do you think I'll ever do it again?
01:03:48Me?
01:03:49A wedding?
01:03:50No.
01:03:50I have had my great love.
01:03:52One time is enough.
01:03:53I'll say June.
01:03:54I know.
01:04:08I know.
01:05:18May I kiss your bride?
