00:00:17Previously, I cannot admit there's anything to do, but go on.
00:00:23That will be where a new house will stand.
00:00:26We will make it back here one day.
00:00:30Won't we?
00:00:30Aye.
00:00:32We will.
00:00:35Allow me to introduce William Buckley Mackenzie.
00:00:38Your servant, Adam, tos at Craig in the doon, and here I am.
00:00:43Well, Cameron, we did it.
00:00:45Rob took Jim.
00:00:46Honey!
00:00:47It's Rob!
00:00:48Tell her!
00:00:50Rihanna!
00:00:51So where do we belong now?
00:00:52So it's not a question of where we belong.
00:00:56It's when.
00:00:56Your son is due home shortly.
00:01:00Son.
00:01:00What we really want is your protection.
00:01:05Where's Jay?
00:01:06Lady Jenkins said that she killed Captain Harglis and dragged her away.
00:01:11We need to go.
00:01:15You can come and live with us in Lurich.
00:01:17You'll be safe.
00:01:18Who was thy wife?
00:01:20Her name is Mayol Haway.
00:01:21Emily chose me.
00:01:23Protect you.
00:01:24My whole soul.
00:01:26I choose you.
00:01:27A place where we could raise our family.
00:01:33You win.
00:01:40I have had carnal knowledge of your wife.
00:01:43Henry and Ben will be fighting across the sea.
00:01:46Do you want to have to tell your wife that your sons have died in a war that could have
00:01:50been stopped?
00:01:58I'll do my best by then.
00:02:02Can we go?
00:02:04You're not going back to the army?
00:02:06No.
00:02:06I came to ask forgiveness.
00:02:11I do let me be beside the sea.
00:02:19So just let me be beside the sea.
00:02:26How could you possibly hear that song?
00:02:31My mother told it to me.
00:02:33I think Faith lived.
00:02:36I think our daughter lived.
00:02:43Where the bloody hell is he?
00:02:46He'll come.
00:02:48No smuggler worth of salt would miss the chance to sell 30 barrels of good whiskey.
00:02:53I just hope he doesn't get close enough to smell the herring.
00:02:57I won't allow it.
00:03:00Much is out of the sound of your voice, Aznach.
00:03:02Trying not to speak unless spoken to.
00:03:26You have a squishy taste, Mr. Roy.
00:03:30You'll not have trouble finding buyers in the north.
00:03:33The army's there or be thirsty.
00:03:35You'll easily double your investment.
00:03:39Who gave you my name?
00:03:41Mrs. Abbott.
00:03:43In Philadelphia.
00:03:46Do you often take business of buys from whores?
00:03:50Mrs. Abbott tells me you're a man to be trusted.
00:03:53Because you didn't have the money to pay your debts.
00:03:57It took you a wee while.
00:03:59But you returned to something much better than coin.
00:04:06Two losses.
00:04:08To settle your score.
00:04:11See?
00:04:13As he is.
00:04:15Whiskey wasn't the only reason I wanted to meet Mr. Vasquez.
00:04:19I wish to expand my business.
00:04:21Tell me, where do you find the girls?
00:04:24It so happens I found them at sea.
00:04:27My men and I were looking for a ship heavy with goods.
00:04:31But the captain, Pukuk was his name, was foolish enough to bring his family.
00:04:35A wife.
00:04:37And two daughters.
00:04:39With my knife as encouragement, he was willing to part with the cargo,
00:04:43but not so willing to part with the girls.
00:04:45So he was forced to slit his throat.
00:04:48One of the daughters was still too young to earn.
00:04:51Even the smallest man would tear her to pieces.
00:04:54But with that face and those golden curls,
00:04:57I knew she would soon command a premium and assurance for the future.
00:05:01But her sister was ripe and ready.
00:05:04I don't think she had ever seen a cock before I stuck her with mine.
00:05:09That one will have paid my debts a hundred times over by now.
00:05:13But the captain's wife, oh, she would have brought a pretty penny herself.
00:05:19Beautiful, wild hair, skin like velvet.
00:05:23It's a shame that I never had a chance to fuck her.
00:05:26She turned into a rabid dog when I touched her daughter.
00:05:29Scratching, biting, screaming, too much trouble.
00:05:33I threw her overboard.
00:05:35Only death would shut her up.
00:05:37Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:05:59We need to leave, Sisoni.
00:06:07I killed him too quickly.
00:06:09I should have let that bastard suffer.
00:06:11I should have made him feel every ounce of agony that the body can feel.
00:06:15And even then, even then it wouldn't be punishment enough.
00:06:19Yeah, well, the devil will give him his proper due for what he did to Jane and Francis.
00:06:23And Faith.
00:06:24She was alive.
00:06:27We could have had a life with her and he robbed us of that chance.
00:06:31He wasn't the only one.
00:06:33You told me you held our babe in your hands all those years ago.
00:06:36That she was stillborn, already lost to us.
00:06:38So how did she come to be married to him?
00:06:40See, Captain, with two daughters of her own?
00:06:42I don't know.
00:06:45I don't know.
00:06:48Mother Hilda got on me.
00:06:50She must have done something.
00:06:52Or Pastor Raymond, he asked for my forgiveness.
00:06:58But for what?
00:07:00You somebody lied.
00:07:03But why?
00:07:07Why would they steal our child from us?
00:07:11I always imagined our daughter in heaven.
00:07:15I mourned an innocent soul who had not had a chance at life.
00:07:19I had to find out she lived.
00:07:22But that her life was cut short.
00:07:26She...
00:07:30She was out there, Jane.
00:07:37What did her love sound like?
00:07:42Or did she...
00:07:44Did she smile in her sleep like you and Brie?
00:07:50Who helped her when she cried?
00:07:54Oh, God.
00:07:58What if nobody did?
00:08:01What if she went through her whole life thinking that nobody wanted her?
00:08:05When all we wanted, more than anything in the world, was help.
00:08:21You lost your parents at a young age when you dove.
00:08:28Wandered the world, fruitless.
00:08:31But then we found each other.
00:08:36I...
00:08:36And a true home of your heart.
00:08:42Maybe it was the same for our daughter.
00:08:44Maybe she wanted to...
00:08:46Then found her home.
00:08:50Made a family.
00:08:54She was loved, Cleon.
00:08:59I'll have to believe that.
00:09:02I'll have to believe that.
00:09:11Sing me a song of a loss that is gone.
00:09:18Say, could that loss be I?
00:09:26Mary of soul, she sailed on a day
00:09:33Over the sea to sky
00:09:42Billowing breeze, islands and seas
00:09:48Mountains of rain and sun
00:09:53All that was good
00:09:56All that was good
00:10:00All that was me
00:10:02Is gone
00:10:08Sing me a song
00:10:11Of the loss that is gone
00:10:14Say, could that loss be I?
00:10:18Say, could that loss be I?
00:10:19Could that loss be I?
00:10:21Mary of soul, she sailed on a day
00:10:26Mary of soul, she sailed on a day
00:10:26Over the sea to sky
00:10:36I...
00:10:38I...
00:10:45I...
00:10:46...
00:11:41Have you managed to sleep at all?
00:11:47Now we're thinking about our faith.
00:11:52Now that we've still done a cane.
00:12:07I should have only remembered more.
00:12:10Now, she couldn't have been more than five years old when she was sold to the Barothal.
00:12:15We shouldn't press her.
00:12:18She's already suffered more than any child should.
00:12:22First her parents.
00:12:25Jane.
00:12:26Do you think we should tell her?
00:12:29That she's our granddaughter?
00:12:32How can we explain it to her?
00:12:35When we don't know how it's possible ourselves?
00:12:38She might not believe us.
00:12:41And then we'll have broken whatever trust she started having in us.
00:12:47It's no small miracle that a piece of faith came to be in our lives.
00:12:54But God, despite all we've lost, we can thank the Lord for that blessing.
00:13:22Good morning, GrandpĆØre.
00:13:24GrandmĆØre.
00:13:24It's time for breakfast.
00:13:26Did I, or did I not tell you, we heathens, to let your grandparents sleep?
00:13:29Now, get away from there.
00:13:31Oh.
00:13:33Yes, good morning to you both.
00:13:34There's some coffee in a wee parrish.
00:13:37There's when you're ready.
00:13:38Sounds wonderful.
00:13:40Thank you, Marcy.
00:13:41I insist you're up.
00:13:42I wouldn't mind a hand with the press.
00:13:44We'll be down shortly, Monfils.
00:13:47I'm eager to see this workshop of yours.
00:14:04We were so newly arrived when the British took over the city.
00:14:08We had not yet begun printing the newspaper.
00:14:12Now I'm careful to be perfectly impartial in its pages.
00:14:17If not, a bit more complimentary to the British Army than they deserve.
00:14:21A wise choice.
00:14:26Does it name any question, the loyalty of a Frenchman?
00:14:29Indeed.
00:14:30It also helps that it was a regiment of Highlanders who captured Savannah for the British.
00:14:35And I happened to have a Scottish wife.
00:14:38And the name Fraser above the door.
00:14:42For that, I'm forgiven a multitude of sins.
00:15:17I'm forgiven a multitude of sins.
00:15:17But the British didn't forgive sedition.
00:15:20Well, I better not get caught then.
00:15:25Don't worry.
00:15:26I'm doing everything you taught me.
00:15:29The difference is you have a family now.
00:15:31What?
00:15:31You had a family then.
00:15:33They were safe in the Highlands, no women in Edinburgh.
00:15:35There wasn't a war then.
00:15:37Which is why this work is even more vital than what we did before.
00:15:41Which is why it's also more dangerous.
00:15:43And these times, there's little one can do that isn't dangerous.
00:15:48If I'm going to be killed for something, I should like it to be something that matters.
00:16:08Just promise me you'll be careful.
00:16:21Why didn't Uncle Ian come with you, grandfather?
00:16:24I very much wanted to see you, Arvales.
00:16:26But your new Auntie Rachel is with Charles, so he was eager to get her settled back on the ridge.
00:16:31I kind of fought him for that.
00:16:33Given the lucky side of the Bairns.
00:16:36Cookies for breakfast!
00:16:39What are grannies for?
00:16:42There you go.
00:16:45Three dozen, all for me.
00:16:48How do you do that?
00:16:49It's not difficult, Sarsenich.
00:16:51It's easier in counting goats and sheep.
00:16:53After all, cookies don't have legs.
00:16:55Legs?
00:16:56Aye.
00:16:57Do you know how many goats you have?
00:16:59You must count all the legs and divide by four.
00:17:04Maybe Fanny would be so kind as to help you all count out the morning deliveries before the news goes
00:17:08stale.
00:17:08Come on, lad.
00:17:12Thanks, Granny.
00:17:14You're welcome.
00:17:15Oh, help yourself.
00:17:21Henry Christian seems to be thriving.
00:17:23Aye.
00:17:25Is that joy, are we, lad?
00:17:27Granny's a sweet lass.
00:17:29And bright, too.
00:17:31She seems remarkably unspoiled for one who grew up in the brothel.
00:17:34Her sister protected her innocence and virtue so far as she could.
00:17:38Still, I mean, it cannot be easy for her.
00:17:41The brothel is not an ideal place for a child, but it is home if that's the only home she's
00:17:45known.
00:17:46To lose that and her sister, as well.
00:17:50That's why we cannot stay much longer.
00:17:52We need a promise to Francis and to clear.
00:17:56It is time to go over.
00:17:58We will miss you all terribly.
00:18:01We will miss you, too.
00:18:04But it won't be goodbye.
00:18:06Only au revoir.
00:18:18Are we nearly there?
00:18:19When will we get to Fraser's Ridge?
00:18:22We've been on the ridge the past two days.
00:18:24You mean, all of this is yours?
00:18:27Aye, Kiana.
00:18:29It is ours, as far as your eyes can see.
00:18:31This is our home.
00:18:34Your home.
00:18:43You woke the baby.
00:18:45Damn you.
00:18:48This man was taken into our custody during an altercation with a band of rebels outside of town.
00:18:53He claims to be the ninth Earl of Earl's Mir and a former soldier in His Majesty's Army.
00:18:57Captain.
00:18:58I was a captain in His Majesty's Army before I resigned my commission.
00:19:02We believe him to be a spy.
00:19:03He assured us you could offer some clarity on the matter.
00:19:06Yes, I understand the confusion, given as his lordship currently appears more like a highwayman than an earl.
00:19:14But I assure you he is, in fact, who he says he is.
00:19:18He poses no threat to our country.
00:19:20Or our cause.
00:19:22Then I am satisfied.
00:19:24Apologies for the intrusion, my lord.
00:19:26Good day to you.
00:19:32Little fiend is teething.
00:19:34And the lack of sleep won't improve his temper.
00:19:38Yours?
00:20:02This is where you lived.
00:20:06Ah, it's so overgrown now.
00:20:09I can hardly believe there was a fire here if I hadn't seen it myself.
00:20:16Yours takes everything back in the end.
00:20:24Ah!
00:20:25Ian!
00:20:29Avalik!
00:20:31Avalik!
00:20:32Avalik!
00:20:38And you remember Francis, of course.
00:20:40Hi.
00:20:41Welcome to Fraser's Ridge.
00:20:44And Rachel, is the baby...
00:20:46The bird has to come yet.
00:20:47We should be most pleased to see you.
00:20:50But first, will you lend me a hand with this?
00:20:53Right.
00:20:57What have you done to the corn crib, lad?
00:21:00In the...
00:21:01In the stables.
00:21:03You should follow me.
00:21:05Something to show you.
00:21:16What in God's name happened to you?
00:21:18A rumour reached me that a turncoat captain may have been fighting with the rebels.
00:21:22When our troops captured this city.
00:21:24And you thought that captain was Ezekiel Richardson?
00:21:27I came to find out.
00:21:29None of the rebels would speak to me.
00:21:31Until I suggested ale and a game of brag.
00:21:36Did you manage to learn the whereabouts of that traitorous bastard?
00:21:40I'm sorry.
00:21:42Did you say that was my cousin's baby?
00:21:45And it's got a baby.
00:21:47And a wife.
00:21:48I had no idea.
00:21:49But I'm glad he's here.
00:21:50I'll be most pleased to see him.
00:21:52Has his regiment been transferred?
00:21:55He's, um...
00:21:57Not here.
00:21:59William, I, um...
00:22:03I'm very sorry to tell you that...
00:22:06Ben is dead.
00:22:12No, that's impossible.
00:22:15He was taken prisoner, run out with a raiding party.
00:22:19And held by rebels at Middlebrook and Catmint in New Jersey.
00:22:24It was...
00:22:27It was an outbreak of jail fever.
00:22:36I was terribly saddened to hear the news.
00:22:42As I knew you would be, too.
00:22:46I know how much you looked up to him.
00:22:51Who was the commander of this raiding party?
00:22:56How was Ben captured?
00:22:58Were any of his comrades taken with him?
00:23:09I've given you all the information I have.
00:23:13Does Uncle Hal know?
00:23:15Does Henry?
00:23:18Not yet.
00:23:23I've drafted a letter to my brother half a dozen times.
00:23:27But I'm afraid once he finds out that his eldest and favorite son is dead,
00:23:32then he will die of heartbreak.
00:23:36And I do not think I could bear that.
00:23:41And the child?
00:23:45Not long after I'd received news of Benjamin's death,
00:23:51a young lady appeared on my doorstep with her baby,
00:23:55claiming she was, um, Benjamin's widow.
00:23:59Seems the...
00:24:01young Lady Grey
00:24:02had fallen into difficult circumstances
00:24:06owing to her husband's absence.
00:24:10and so, um,
00:24:12I invited her to stay.
00:24:14Wait,
00:24:16you'd never heard of this wife
00:24:18until after you'd received word of Ben's death?
00:24:24No, I don't believe it.
00:24:25If Ben were married,
00:24:27you would have told me.
00:24:30When is the last time you received a letter from Ben?
00:24:32I'll admit,
00:24:32I allowed our correspondence to lapse
00:24:34after
00:24:36everything that happened last year,
00:24:38but
00:24:40but he would have told his brother.
00:24:42And Henry never mentioned anything.
00:24:45The young lady arrived
00:24:46with a bundle of love letters,
00:24:49all sealed with Benjamin's signet ring.
00:24:51And the boy's name,
00:24:53What is Wade,
00:24:53is a family name,
00:24:54not commonly known.
00:24:56I believe her claim.
00:24:57Any charlatan
00:24:59hoping to profit off our family's grief
00:25:00could falsify love letters.
00:25:01Clearly you've been hoodwinked
00:25:03by some,
00:25:03some damn woman.
00:25:05Some damn woman.
00:25:06Am I?
00:25:12William,
00:25:13may I present Amaranthus
00:25:14by Countess Grey,
00:25:17Benjamin's widow.
00:25:20Ben did speak of a cousin, William.
00:25:23Though he neglected to mention
00:25:25said cousin
00:25:26was a drunkard
00:25:27and a fool.
00:25:29Good day, Uncle John.
00:25:36I've been there yet.
00:26:01Come home.
00:26:05What have you done, lad?
00:26:06What is this?
00:26:07Built your house for you.
00:26:08Our house.
00:26:10Aye.
00:26:11I took the plans you made before you left.
00:26:13Called everyone together.
00:26:14Beards, Lees, the Lindsay's and some of your other archbure men.
00:26:18Tore down the stables.
00:26:19Used that lumber for the start.
00:26:22You know, when folk got word of what we're about,
00:26:24they'd come by with wood or furnishings they could spare.
00:26:27Or even just to lend a hand.
00:26:28Here.
00:26:30Ian.
00:26:31Oh, it's beautiful.
00:26:33Better worry, auntie.
00:26:34Stay tight with your garden for you.
00:26:42I thought I heard voices.
00:26:45Rachel.
00:26:47Look at you.
00:26:48You're glowing.
00:26:50How are you?
00:26:51I'm well.
00:26:52Now, would you like to see thy house?
00:26:54Ian, I'm more than time good.
00:26:57You're very welcome, uncle.
00:27:09Well, what do you think?
00:27:15Wow, Ian.
00:27:19It's not just me.
00:27:21A lot of hands.
00:27:23Just like I imagined.
00:27:24These are from the stables.
00:27:26Look at this view.
00:27:27That is a beautiful spot.
00:27:29Oh, it's fantastic.
00:27:31Kitchen.
00:27:39Ken, you need plenty of light for your surgeries.
00:27:43So I made the south-facing windows nice and big.
00:27:49And I built the table for memory.
00:27:51Hope it's the proper height.
00:27:53Is it fair-liking, Claire?
00:27:55I don't know what to say.
00:28:02Well, where did you get all these things?
00:28:06Some are fine when we pass through Wilmington.
00:28:08The rest is from the new trading post.
00:28:11Adam Crombie's running down by the meeting house.
00:28:20Ian, Rachel, this is, this is so thoughtful.
00:28:26I'm so overwhelmed.
00:28:28Well, the line, if I said I was nearly a bit selfish in putting this together,
00:28:32seeing as I have your host to your patients right here.
00:28:37I promise I will take very, very good care of them both.
00:28:43Ah, you're the plans.
00:28:49Francis.
00:28:51Have a look upstairs.
00:29:08What do you think of this room, Francis?
00:29:10It's nice, Mr. Fraser.
00:29:13So, um, you wouldn't be disappointed if I were to tell you I was thinking it should be yours.
00:29:22I could build you an, uh, an emmoire over here with your clothes and, uh, a wee chair to sit
00:29:30and read.
00:29:32If you like.
00:29:34You mean a whole room for my own?
00:29:39If it suits you.
00:29:42It suits me well.
00:30:10The shape of you and the moonlights, I say.
00:30:14You look just as you did the night we made our faith.
00:30:22You know, when she was conceived?
00:30:25No.
00:30:26I don't even know that.
00:30:27I don't know.
00:30:28Maybe wrong, of course, but...
00:30:31I always thought it was the night you first told me you loved me.
00:30:40You were standing near the window, the moon was streaming in, just so, as I came to you.
00:30:58You told me that you wanted me from the first time you ever saw me.
00:31:05I had something to do with my hard head and my round arse.
00:31:12Do you recall the occasion?
00:31:29Do you know that was the night faith was conceived?
00:31:33I wanted you.
00:31:36I wanted you.
00:31:36I wanted you.
00:31:36I wanted to have you.
00:31:39Once I was inside you, I'd have been content if that was the last thing I ever felt.
00:31:48Then we started.
00:31:51I can't a piece of myself would be inside you forever.
00:32:02Because I was giving you a child.
00:32:04I wanted you to.
00:32:18I wanted you to.
00:32:22I wanted you to.
00:32:35The man told me Crombie had a training post.
00:32:39Didn't expect all this.
00:32:52Mr. and Mrs. Fraser.
00:32:55Boys, we just heard one of you retarded.
00:32:58Amy.
00:32:59It's so good to see you again.
00:33:02Mrs. McCallum.
00:33:04I'm we Aidan.
00:33:05Laurie.
00:33:06Not so we anymore, eh, lads?
00:33:08And my name is not McCallum anymore either.
00:33:12It's Lindsay now.
00:33:14Evan!
00:33:17McDoo!
00:33:18Evan.
00:33:19Well, congratulations on your new family.
00:33:22Didn't I ken you had it, didn't you?
00:33:23I'm over the moon.
00:33:24Couldn't have a happier.
00:33:26And thank you so much for all your help with the house.
00:33:29Oh, need.
00:33:29The both of you could have done the same thing for any one of us.
00:33:32Bean by bean, it was like a little prayer calling you home.
00:33:37Either my eyes deceive me or the phrases have come back.
00:33:42I bid you both welcome.
00:33:44It's quite an establishment you have here, Mr. Crombie.
00:33:47Well, the Bible instructs us to use our gifts to serve one another as stewards of the grace of God.
00:33:53I've discovered that I'm quite gifted in procuring things that people need.
00:33:57Like this fabric.
00:33:59What do for you, Mrs. Lindsay?
00:34:01That'll do nicely, thank you.
00:34:04May I acquaint you with our enterprise.
00:34:09So good to see you again.
00:34:19We have many fine fabrics.
00:34:21And these just arrived.
00:34:23And here you'll find the tools of your trade, Mrs. Fraser.
00:34:29Oh, it would be so nice not to have to send to Willems Creek for some of these.
00:34:34You don't happen to have any Jesuit bark hidden somewhere.
00:34:38That's another name for Sinkona bark, is it not?
00:34:41It is.
00:34:42Mrs. Beardsley was asking for the very same thing just yesterday.
00:34:45We shall have to procure some, Mr. Crombie.
00:34:47I was actually looking for it to make a tonic for her.
00:34:51Oh.
00:34:52I don't believe we have the pleasure of your acquaintance, sir.
00:34:54Ah, forgive me.
00:34:56This is Captain Charles Cunningham.
00:34:58He is my partner in this endeavor.
00:35:02Captain, these are the Frasers.
00:35:04You who returned.
00:35:05General and Mrs. Fraser, I'm so pleased to finally meet you.
00:35:10It's been rather strange for my mother and I to live on this land, never having met its owners.
00:35:14Partners, you say?
00:35:16When I arrived on Fraser's Ridge, it seemed a bit of commerce might do some good.
00:35:21As fate would have it, Mr. Crombie had been having similar thoughts.
00:35:25But not the means to put them into action.
00:35:27I had a small pension to contribute to his inspiration.
00:35:31Still, he is modest in calling us partners.
00:35:33Mr. Crombie does the work.
00:35:35I am merely content to sit at my desk and help out when I can.
00:35:39Oh, thank you both.
00:35:40It seems you've achieved a great deal in our absence.
00:35:44And I thank you, General, for this place.
00:35:47My mother and I are so fortunate to call home.
00:35:51Now, if you'll pardon me, I was on my way out.
00:35:54I will accompany you, if I may.
00:35:58Will you follow me, Mrs. Fraser?
00:36:00Yes, actually, Mr. Crombie.
00:36:04Captain, I must invite you to call me Mr. Fraser.
00:36:08Having resigned my commission following the battle at Monmouth, I have no further association with the Continental Landry.
00:36:15Well, that's modest of you, sir.
00:36:17I've usually found that any man who's held a military post of any pretension clings to his title for life.
00:36:23Mine was merely a temporary appointment.
00:36:26But I do ken there are many fine officers who deserve to retain their titles after long and honorable service.
00:36:33Yes, I'm sure it's the case with you, Captain.
00:36:36Well, yes, sir.
00:36:38You are correct that I'm retired.
00:36:41Though I prefer to retain the appellation of Captain less as a measure of honor,
00:36:45and more because I've never much liked the name Charles.
00:36:51But in all honesty, after 30 years serving in His Majesty's army, I suppose I'm simply used to it.
00:37:01You fought for the king, then?
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:05But I laid down my sword for good after the Battle of Bemis Heights.
00:37:11I understand you, too, were at Saratoga.
00:37:16Aye.
00:37:22And we went a bit on opposite sides of the sea battlefield.
00:37:28War is a terrible thing.
00:37:32I am most happy to be done with it.
00:37:41How did you come to settle here on the ridge?
00:37:44Like a good many others, I came to North Carolina because I had acquaintances here.
00:37:49Two of my former officers are from Salisbury.
00:37:51I visited their families, and then I walked until my legs could carry me no farther.
00:37:57Until I found a place beautiful enough to bring me some peace.
00:38:02And here I was.
00:38:12Cunningham is a charming fellow.
00:38:15He certainly gained some influence while we were away.
00:38:19I'd be wise to ken him better.
00:38:22That would be the prudent thing to do.
00:38:26Especially since he's a redcoat.
00:38:29He's retired with me.
00:38:31Since he's done with the war.
00:38:34I have no reason not to take the man at his word.
00:38:37Though, I do wonder if the war is done with him.
00:38:41Well, I suppose someone could wonder the same thing about you.
00:38:44Trust me, Sasnak.
00:38:46I'm done.
00:38:47Whether the war likes it or no.
00:39:11The hair of the dog that bit you.
00:39:13Good God, what is that?
00:39:14The recipe is proprietary.
00:39:17But the results cannot be argued with.
00:39:21Drink up.
00:39:31I'm due to dine with General Prevost in an hour.
00:39:36Perhaps you care to accompany me?
00:39:41His good is far superior to mine.
00:39:44And despite an unfortunate lack of humor, the man is a decent soldier.
00:39:49Ambitious.
00:39:50I know what you are doing.
00:39:52It will not work.
00:39:54Frankly, I'm surprised you're trying to entice me back into the army.
00:39:57Considering how opposed you were to my joining in the first place.
00:40:00Idleness and wallowing do not suit you, William.
00:40:07And though it was dreadfully unfortunate,
00:40:10the British army is not to blame for what happened to Miss Pocock.
00:40:20Now,
00:40:22I swore to protect her.
00:40:25I am to blame.
00:40:27And that devil of a turn, Cope Richardson.
00:40:29I, too, want Richardson to pay for his actions, and he will.
00:40:35But there are ways to go about it that perhaps entail less drinking oneself into oblivion.
00:40:41Night after night.
00:40:46Well, if you're truly finished with the army, perhaps it is time you return to England.
00:40:52Although it would pain me to part with you again so soon.
00:40:56You've retained your majority, and therefore you can manage your estates.
00:41:00My steward is doing more than adequate job.
00:41:01Your steward is not the ninth Earl of Ellesmere, William.
00:41:05You are.
00:41:06By way of cockledry and a lie.
00:41:08Or be that as it may.
00:41:09Your mother was married to the eighth Earl of Ellesmere at the time of your birth.
00:41:15Therefore the title is yours by law.
00:41:17Then how does one go about renouncing a title?
00:41:19You cannot.
00:41:20You mean I shall not?
00:41:22No, you cannot.
00:41:28A peerage is the gift of a grateful monarch.
00:41:33There are no means to set down in law for renouncing it.
00:41:35A monarch who ceases to be grateful can strip a peer of his title,
00:41:39though the only grounds for that which come to mind are engaging in rebellion against the crown.
00:41:45Treason?
00:41:45Betrayal of your king and country hardly seems like a suitable means of solving your personal difficulties.
00:41:52It might be easier to ask what you want to do rather than asking how not to do what you
00:42:01don't.
00:42:02It might be easier to know what I want to do if I knew who I bloody was.
00:42:08At a certain point, I suppose it is up to you to decide who you want to be and to
00:42:13act accordingly.
00:42:19Whether you choose to call yourself Ransom, Fraser, or Gray,
00:42:23no man with any claim to your parentage would tolerate the way you treated Lady Gray yesterday.
00:42:30That is something I insist you remedy.
00:42:43I kind of say bees are the most traditional homecoming gift, but it's very thoughtful of you, Lizzie.
00:42:49Well, I've always wanted my own hive, so thank you.
00:42:52Well, build a proper home for them.
00:42:55On a safe distance from the house.
00:42:57I'm so glad to have you both back.
00:42:59As soon as there's a fresh bit of honey, we'll bring some over for you and Kezi and Desire.
00:43:07So lovely to see you again, Lizzie.
00:43:09And so good to meet you, my little namesake, weak Claire.
00:43:15Good mama.
00:43:18We'll see you both again soon.
00:43:21Night.
00:43:23Bees.
00:43:24Very sociable and curious, which only makes sense.
00:43:29Going back and forth all day, sharing news with their pollen.
00:43:32That's one way to put it.
00:43:35Do you think that bees are the link between our world and the spirit world?
00:43:39That's why you tell them what's happening.
00:43:43You do?
00:43:45If someone should come to visit, or a new bairn should be born, or a settler should depart or die,
00:43:52I'm gonna tell the bees they'll take offense and all of them will just fly away.
00:43:56We can't have that then, can we?
00:44:17Hello, the house.
00:44:43Banda!
00:44:44Banda!
00:44:45Sister, am I?
00:44:45You've come to talk.
00:44:47Banda!
00:44:48That shall be my name, Lampard.
00:44:52Is it really?
00:44:55She got it.
00:44:56Oh, darling.
00:45:01Listen, Andy.
00:45:03Andy.
00:45:06I'll catch you.
00:45:07I can't believe it.
00:45:09I ain't ever thought we'd see you again.
00:45:10What are you doing here?
00:45:12We want you to come home.
00:45:22It doesn't matter now, lass.
00:45:24You're here.
00:45:26We all are.
00:45:37Our house is your house.
00:45:39You can there well enough.
00:45:40You can stay here to rebuild you whenever you're on.
00:45:47Andy is so sweet with Mandy.
00:45:50How does she come to be living with you?
00:45:53She's a wee orphan lass.
00:45:56Your brother took her under his protection and trusted her to us.
00:46:01William.
00:46:02Does that mean he knows that you're his father?
00:46:05He does.
00:46:08Ah, take it. He's not too happy about that.
00:46:11Doesn't appear so.
00:46:13Give him time.
00:46:22Mommy, give me a story.
00:46:25Uh, what's the magic word?
00:46:27Please.
00:46:30What do you think?
00:46:32Why not?
00:46:34Go get him.
00:46:35Mm-hmm.
00:46:36You brought a book for the beards.
00:46:38Reach me, Granda, please.
00:46:39Ah, all right.
00:46:44Let's see.
00:46:48Ah.
00:46:52It's like a painting.
00:46:56Ah.
00:47:00In the great green room, there was a telephone and a red balloon and a picture of the cow jumping
00:47:10over the moon.
00:47:13Ah, yes.
00:47:14And there were three little bears sitting on chairs.
00:47:18Well, bears likely eat a chair, sit in one, and all three of them together make a meal of anyone
00:47:24close by wanting to kill them.
00:47:29Lovely, bitter, nonsense. I feel like I can it.
00:47:32Because I told you about it years ago.
00:47:35We were on a ship to Jamaica.
00:47:36And I was missing Bree.
00:47:39Why don't you all go and finish the book?
00:47:41Well, the adults chat, won't you?
00:47:44Gem, you can read it to them.
00:47:48I hope it's all right Fanny saw that book. She won't know it's modern, was she?
00:47:51She's certainly never seen anything like it, but I'm sure it's fine.
00:47:55This one?
00:47:56It's for you.
00:47:59Oh, Bree.
00:48:01Oh, it's marvellous.
00:48:04Let me see, Mary and Dan.
00:48:11The Merc Manual.
00:48:13Thirteenth edition.
00:48:14Popular writer, either that or he's made a devil lot of mistakes.
00:48:17It's a medical book.
00:48:19Hmm.
00:48:20Controlling the spread of e-histolytica requires prevention of access of human feces to the mouth.
00:48:27Hmm.
00:48:28It's what folk have learned about healing.
00:48:31I'm guessing you can not to eat shade.
00:48:33Yes, darling.
00:48:36I can't begin to imagine what they've discovered since I left.
00:48:40And I think you will like this one, does it?
00:48:42Yeah.
00:48:46You like it?
00:48:50Frodo Baggins.
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:53A Welshman.
00:48:55No.
00:48:56Not exactly.
00:48:57That's one of Jim's favourites.
00:48:59Mine too, actually.
00:49:02I like the tail might speak to you.
00:49:03Thank you kindly.
00:49:04Nice.
00:49:17Are you a minister, Roger Meg, in the future?
00:49:23No.
00:49:25No.
00:49:25No.
00:49:25I was so full of doubt after everything that happened.
00:49:31But now that we're back, or whatever you decide, new folk have settled on the ridge since you left.
00:49:39You should go about, introduce yourself.
00:49:44There's a man by the name of Cunningham.
00:49:47He helped open the new trading post.
00:49:50I'd be curious to ken what you might think of him.
00:49:53Anything you might learn.
00:49:55No.
00:49:56No.
00:49:57I ran to parties for a while.
00:49:59Had a few checkups, but other than that.
00:50:01Children are remarkable.
00:50:02Listening to a heart you'd never have known anything was wrong.
00:50:05Kids are finally asleep.
00:50:07Both.
00:50:08Still gonna believe it.
00:50:09Sight of you.
00:50:10Here.
00:50:12I weren't even sure if the letters would reach you when we left them at the bank.
00:50:16Or as a, well, an inheritance, I suppose.
00:50:21We thought you should ken what had become of us.
00:50:23But never have dreamed you'd have used them to find your way back to us.
00:50:29To coming home.
00:50:31To family.
00:50:33Slanger.
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:41I brought back another book.
00:50:44I didn't want to show it in front of the kids, but...
00:50:52Soul of a Rebel.
00:50:54Scottish Roots of the American Revolution.
00:50:57By Franklin W. Randall, PhD.
00:51:02It's the research that he was doing before he died.
00:51:05It was published after we had both left.
00:51:09Did you find it useful?
00:51:11I started to open it, but...
00:51:13Couldn't even get past the jacket.
00:51:15I knew that if I read it, it would...
00:51:17You know, feel like losing them all over again.
00:51:20Same with your letters, actually.
00:51:23We, uh...
00:51:24We spaced them out because as long as there were still unopened ones...
00:51:28You were still alive.
00:51:33Something must have happened...
00:51:35For you to come back in the middle of a war.
00:51:40Aye.
00:51:42Something happened.
00:51:44A lot of things.
00:51:47I suppose, uh...
00:51:50There's something we need to tell you, too.
00:51:54About Fanny.
00:51:55And your sister.
00:51:58Faith.
00:51:58To be left.
00:52:02To be right.
00:52:10So, please...
00:52:23Lady Grey, I owe you an apology.
00:52:28when you first came upon me yesterday i'd only just learned of my cousin's passing
00:52:33i was in shock still that is no excuse for my ungentlemanly behavior i beg your forgiveness
00:52:40for it
00:52:44well i suppose i was not altogether kind either
00:52:47tend to have rather a sharp tongue when piqued you had every reason
00:52:59we did marry rather in haste benjamin wrote to tell his father of the union but the letter appears
00:53:05to have gone astray so i suppose a modicum of skepticism is to be expected you have my deepest
00:53:13sympathies on the loss of your husband madam thank you and you on the loss of your cousin
00:53:21i beg your pardon i'm a bit overcome with emotion quite understandable given the circumstances
00:53:30and he likes being outside
00:53:35fresh air calms him
00:53:41he looks quite like benjamin
00:53:47i hope i don't give you pain by saying so
00:53:51no
00:53:53no it's a reminder
00:53:55the love that bore him
00:53:58i suppose that's some consolation
00:54:02i do not have any siblings
00:54:04ben and henry were like brothers to me
00:54:08he said as much about you
00:54:10and perhaps when trevor is older
00:54:14you can tell him of his father
00:54:16man to man
00:54:21pains me that i'll have no memory of him
00:54:25no knowledge of who he was in the world
00:54:34i promise
00:54:35i should do all i can for trevor
00:54:40and for you

00:57:05speaking of rudeness
00:57:06don't believe i've had the honor of your acquaintance
00:57:09i'm claire fraser
00:57:13my son mentioned you were looking for this
00:57:24you are all undoubtedly going to hell
00:57:39who the devil was that
00:57:40the wicked witch of the west
00:57:42i hate her
00:57:43man
00:57:46jesus h roosevelt christ
00:57:50just brought me jesuit to bark
00:57:52in that case
00:57:54nothing perhaps that witch
00:57:56but mrs cunning
00:58:17is it my face you see looming in the darkness
00:58:27why do you not tell me that
00:58:29frank randall
00:58:31looked like blackjack
00:58:37i haven't thought about that in a very long time
00:58:41i remember being startled by the resemblance
00:58:44but
00:58:45once i was acquainted with blackjack
00:58:48that quickly wore off
00:58:52because they were so different
00:58:57you should have told me
00:59:02i suppose i should have
00:59:03but
00:59:04at first
00:59:05how could i have explained that to you
00:59:09and then after
00:59:10well i
00:59:10i didn't know how
00:59:15i thought you might have been upset
00:59:18that
00:59:18i had married someone who looked so much like blackjack randall
00:59:22i might have been upset
00:59:25there'd been no point
00:59:31you are mine
00:59:45was he an honest man
00:59:48frank
00:59:50for the most part
00:59:52he kept secrets
00:59:54but then again so did i
00:59:56can i trust him
00:59:57do you think
01:00:00about what he's written
01:00:02he was an historian
01:00:05he wouldn't write something that he knew to be false
01:00:07why
01:00:10because he mentions my name
01:00:13fourteen times
01:00:14so far
01:00:19you're in the book
01:00:24what does it say
01:00:26that war is coming to the backcountry
01:00:29he says
01:00:30there'll be a battle in about a year's time
01:00:32at a place called king's mountain
01:00:35and that james fraser
01:00:37dies in it
01:00:38the
01:00:43i said
01:00:48you
01:00:49you
01:00:51you
01:00:51you
01:00:54Thank you for listening.
01:02:25You're asking me to fight with you.
01:02:27It won't be today, will it?
01:02:29You're not going back, are you?
01:02:31We cannot change the course of history.
01:02:33The Lord knows we've tried.
01:02:34There is something amiss here.
01:02:36I know it.
01:02:37I know you've seen some terrible things.
01:02:40I have to.
01:02:41I know you've seen...
01:02:44Hold on to me.
01:02:46I know you've seen...
01:02:47Always.
