TVTranscript
00:23Three times I had written to Mr. Hayward, and each time the letter was returned,
00:27marked forwarding address unknown. There was so much that I wished to say to him, but it
00:38was not to be. No matter, I would not wallow. I had navigated difficulty before, and I would
00:46use my experiences to find my place in London, and prove I could build a life here. Not only
00:53to myself, but also to... Mama. Here she is. I didn't know you were... Sorry, what are
01:03you doing here? Your mother has come to stay. For a short time. Lizzie's physician advised
01:09I come to London to see Dr. Simmons, who is a great authority on nervous complaints. Well,
01:17sit. Mr. Darcy has been most insistent, urging me to think of myself and not hurry back to
01:27Pemberley until I have been properly attended to. Now, Mary, I have decided to forgive your
01:36actions at Pemberley and to offer you my assistance one last time. While I am here, I intend to
01:44finish what I began and find suitable matches for all my daughters. Oh, please, Mama, really.
01:52Four out of five must be considered a great triumph. A great triumph, indeed. Yes. But
01:58Mary has plenty in London to occupy her time. There is no better use of Mary's time than
02:03finding a match. Oh, please, Mother, really. I'm very happy as I am.
02:08I understand your shame, Mary, in the way that you have behaved towards me. But nevertheless,
02:15you cannot override my natural kindness and my motherly instinct. I have arranged for you
02:21to meet several suitors.
02:23Yes. Is it too much to ask you to make even the slightest effort with just one of these
02:51gentlemen? Mary has made good connections. Oh, and do good connections provide for you
02:57for the rest of your life? And she is welcome here. Oh, yes. For now. For as long as she
03:01wants. Enter. Enter. A visitor for Miss Bennet. Mr. Ryder is here. Mr. Ryder? Well, show him in.
03:18Thank you. Mr. Ryder. Thank you. Oh. Mr. Ryder. How wonderful to see you.
03:34Mrs. Bennet. Mrs. Gardiner. Miss Bennet. And to what – do we owe the pleasure of your visit?
03:43Yes, excuse me dropping in unannounced.
03:45I wondered whether I might speak with Miss Bennet.
03:51Of course.
03:54In private.
04:00Miss Bennet, I'm most relieved to see you looking so well after.
04:06Yeah, yeah.
04:08I was sorry not to be able to say goodbye to you at the Lakes.
04:12Once I knew you were being taken care of,
04:14I felt it my duty to accompany Miss Bingley back to London to see a physician.
04:18I understand.
04:19But I was kept informed of your recovery.
04:29Miss Bennet, I...
04:32I wanted to sincerely apologise for what happened.
04:37Oh, I played my own part in proceedings.
04:40No, no, I was entirely to blame.
04:43I put you and Miss Bingley in grave danger.
04:46I'm full of regret.
04:48Oh, really?
04:48I think no more of it.
04:51Though it did not end well.
04:53Overall, I look back at my time in the Lakes very fondly.
04:58It was never my intention to intrude on your time there, but I needed Mr. Hayward's help.
05:07You see, Lady Catherine de Burr unexpectedly named me as her heir.
05:15Oh.
05:19I informed Mr. Hayward of my change in fortune and told him of my intention to propose to you that
05:27very afternoon.
05:32I see.
05:34He knew what I could offer you, and he gave me his blessing.
05:43He did.
05:45Miss Bennet, I wanted to renew our conversation from the Lakes.
05:53Of course.
05:54Of course, Mr. Ryder.
05:57Please, um, please sit.
05:58Yeah.
06:15I've never met anyone that makes me think like you do, who makes me see the world as you do.
06:25I've certainly never met anyone who speaks as plainly as you, and I admire that greatly.
06:31It's very kind.
06:34Although there is something of a gulf between my ideals and the world we live in,
06:43I like to think that you and I could carve out an interesting existence.
06:51Together.
06:55I shall now do what I should have done weeks ago, and ask.
07:05Miss Bennet.
07:12Would you consider accepting my hand in marriage?
07:29Mr. Ryder.
07:32My answer must, of course, be...
07:42That I do not love you.
07:50Could it be that you, you, you might grow to love me?
07:57Not in the way that you deserve to be loved.
08:06Your friendship has taught me so much about myself, and for that I shall always be grateful.
08:16But I don't believe I would ever have made you happy.
08:26You should follow your heart, go to Italy, and, and seize everything it has to offer.
08:35I see.
08:39You will find happiness, Mr. Ryder.
08:42True happiness.
08:45I do not doubt it.
09:00It was a pleasure to see you looking so well.
09:09Dry.
09:17Goodbye, Miss Bennet.
09:23Goodbye.
09:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:33Mother.
09:34I should leave.
09:36Please, stay there.
09:38Mother!
09:39Mr. Adi Amigo.
09:49What have you done?
09:51Oh, I need some air.
09:54Mary!
09:57Mary!
10:20Miss Bennet.
10:24Mr. Sparrow!
10:30Is everything quite all right?
10:32No, yes, the city smoke is particularly heavy today, and it just seems to have a...
10:39May I?
11:03I hope they are still serving you well.
11:07They really are.
11:09Tell me, what brings you to London?
11:12I graduated from Moorfields two weeks ago.
11:16You're a doctor, just as you said you would be.
11:22Congratulations, Mr. Sparrow.
11:26I always thought you'd end up studying somewhere, somehow.
11:29I would like to be a governess.
11:32To an older girl, perhaps.
11:35I think I'd enjoy teaching petrology and geology and...
11:38Your specialism, perhaps one day you could tutor my daughter.
11:42You have a child!
11:43She is one.
11:46She is one.
12:13And about...
12:15And about...
12:16Potential matters.
12:22If I may be so bold, if you have always struggled to please your mother, why do you keep trying?
12:31As long as you know what you want, perhaps it is time to stop worrying what she thinks.
12:39That our happiness is in our own hands.
12:43Absolutely.
12:45I truly believe it is.
12:49It has been a pleasure to see you again.
12:52I must be getting back.
12:59Goodbye, Mr. Sparrow.
13:02I'm very, very glad to have run into you today.
13:27Mary, what on earth are you thinking?
13:30Mother, I'm sorry to disappoint you, again, but I will not be marrying Mr. Ryder.
13:37Nonsense.
13:38Call him back and tell him you were mistaken.
13:40No, I will not do that.
13:42Have you no consideration for my nerves?
13:46I've never wanted to cause you any trouble.
13:49You have caused me nothing but trouble since the day you were born.
13:54Yes, I'm aware that is so.
13:57I am trying to help you.
14:00I do not want you to be looked down upon.
14:06Looked down upon by whom?
14:14Mary, please call Mr. Ryder back and accept his offer.
14:19I do not love him.
14:21Mama, I've not waited all this time just to marry a man I do not love.
14:25You would have once agreed to marry Mr. Collins.
14:28Did you love him?
14:29No, I didn't. No.
14:32At the time I thought I was helping our family remain at Longbourn.
14:35And now there is a handsome, wealthy man willing to overlook your shortcomings and you have turned him away.
14:41Because I have changed.
14:43We'll change back again.
14:49Charlotte once told me that my options were marriage or misery.
14:56But I have seen many miserable marriages.
15:01And meanwhile, I've experienced much joy in life, on my own.
15:08What will you do without a husband? How will you survive?
15:12I will work as a governess.
15:15Outside the families?
15:16Yes, I will take on an older pupil.
15:18And I will teach a more nuanced, detailed education.
15:21Working to a higher level on a specific set of-
15:24Why do you insist on torturing me?
15:35It has always been my intention to please you.
15:39I am very sad that I have never been able to make you proud of me.
15:47Yet I was never able to match my sisters in your esteem.
15:54I am sorry.
15:57You have no idea what it has been like for me.
16:02I had five daughters. Five daughters.
16:05All of whom I knew must marry well in order to survive.
16:09And there was nobody to make that happen except me.
16:14Your father never had to think about it.
16:18And he never raised a finger to help.
16:22In fact, any attempts I made to discuss your future seemed only to rile him.
16:32I was quite alone.
16:39You and I always have been very different creatures.
16:46And it is likely we all shall be.
16:51It doesn't seem fair that you weren't helped in your efforts.
16:58But you did it.
17:02We are all settled in our different ways.
17:06I have chosen my path.
17:09And I am happy with it.
17:16I did not want you to be left behind.
17:19I did not want you to be right behind me.
17:31Goodbye, mother.
17:52Send our love to Lizzie.
17:58Goodbye, Jane.
18:19Mary, I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen anyone stand up to your mother as successfully as
18:24you did.
18:25Really?
18:25It was very impressive.
18:32I don't mind that I'll never marry.
18:38I've only said that without a home of my own, I shall never get to choose my own wallpaper.
18:44But you can always choose some for your room, Mary, if you like.
18:52Do you think I've done the wrong thing?
18:56In not marrying Mr. Ryder?
18:59Not at all, Mary.
19:02I've learned a great deal from him.
19:05He's a man that finds joy in life, and there's much to be admired about him.
19:10But you do not love him.
19:13No.
19:17You love someone else?
19:25Where has he gone?
19:30I wish I knew.
19:44Miss Bennet, there is a visitor to see you in the drawing room.
19:50Miss Bingley.
20:14I wanted to thank you for what you did on the mountain.
20:22You could have left me there, and you didn't.
20:35I think it is plain to see that I have a great fondness for Mr. Ryder.
20:45And I have come to ask that you leave him alone.
20:51Oh, Miss Bingley, you are much better suited to Mr. Ryder than I am.
20:56Oh, you don't mean that.
20:57I do.
20:58I do.
20:59Mr. Ryder is a dear friend.
21:02But he and I, we were never a match.
21:10The truth is, it was always Mr. Hayward for me.
21:19But it is not to be.
21:22Really?
21:23Tom Hayward?
21:26Surely he is attainable.
21:28It seems not.
21:30He has disappeared.
21:35Well, well.
21:48Perhaps I shall call for you sometime, Miss Bennet.
21:53Yes, we could read poetry together.
22:00Goodbye, Miss Bennet.
22:02Goodbye, Miss Bingley.
22:23And so it was that I carved out my own path.
22:28I stayed in London and became a governess.
22:34Over time, I worried a little less about the approval of others.
22:40And though the life I had chosen was different to that of my sisters,
22:45I had a wealth of experience to be proud of.
22:50I had found a family I loved very much.
22:54I was happy in the life I had chosen.
22:57And I knew that I was good enough.
23:04Though one can always be just a little happier, I suppose.
23:10Miss Bennet!
23:14Miss Bennet!
23:17Miss Bennet!
23:19Miss Bennet!
23:28Mr. Hayward.
23:30Mr. Hayward.
23:51Mrs. Gardiner said I might find you here.
23:57I suppose that I...
23:58Where have you been?
24:03Yorkshire.
24:05What do you mean, Yorkshire?
24:07You can't just say Yorkshire
24:09as if Yorkshire's an entirely reasonable explanation
24:11for your very sudden and somewhat lengthy disappearance.
24:16After what you said...
24:17I'm sorry, Mary, please, please, let me explain.
24:22Well, you're here now, Mr. Haywood.
24:26Do go on.
24:33Well, we were in the lakes.
24:35The illegal matter that Mr. Ryder asked me to attend to
24:38was his inheriting the fortune of Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
24:44And I knew quite clearly from Ryder's incredibly irritating behaviour
24:49that he had a liking for you, as I also had.
24:56As I also have.
24:59It is such a liking, in fact,
25:02that when I learned of Mr. Ryder's good fortune
25:04and his plan to make you an offer of marriage,
25:06I thought...
25:07I thought it in your best interest that I graciously step aside.
25:10Nevertheless, my actions in the mountain...
25:12You thought it in my best interests
25:15to graciously step aside.
25:18So your disappearance
25:20was, in fact,
25:22you being gracious to me.
25:25You...
25:25Ah!
25:27Miss...
25:27You and Mr. Ryder, between you,
25:29thought that you would just decide on my fate
25:31and I would just accept it
25:33like I'm a...
25:34like I'm a great old cat.
25:36If you put it like that,
25:37it does not sound good.
25:38I don't...
25:38Why didn't you just ask me
25:40what I thought?
25:41I was reading between the lines.
25:42There were no lines.
25:43Mr. Hayward,
25:44there were no lines.
25:46I know I will never be able
25:48to offer you what Mr. Ryder can.
25:51I have had to work for everything that I have
25:53and...
25:55and I thought you deserved better than that.
25:59That you deserved better than me,
26:00but now I realise
26:03I will not know what you want
26:04unless I ask.
26:06So I must tell you
26:07I cannot offer you great wealth
26:08or Italy,
26:11but I can offer you my love
26:14and my devotion
26:15and my hope to build a family
26:17one day.
26:23Mr. Hayward,
26:26if you had asked me
26:27what I wanted,
26:29I would have told you
26:29I have never wanted Mr. Ryder.
26:31I have never loved Mr. Ryder.
26:34I love you.
26:36I have only ever loved you.
26:39I love you.
26:41I have always loved you
26:43from the very first time
26:44I caught you playing graces
26:45on your own
26:46when you thought
26:47no one was at home.
26:51I have spent my life
26:53on the outside of things,
26:54but with you,
26:55I am right in the middle of it all.
27:06Mary Bennet,
27:07would you do me
27:08the very great honour
27:09of becoming my wife?
27:17Yes.
27:20Yes.
27:21Yes.
27:21Yes.
27:22Yes.
27:23Yes.
27:23Yes.
27:23Yes.
27:24Yes.
27:24Yes.
27:25Yes.
27:26Yes.
27:26Yes.
27:29That was a yes
27:30right away, Mr. Hayward,
27:32in case you didn't catch it.
27:34Mary,
27:35I think now that we've kissed,
27:36you could probably
27:37call me Tom.
27:38Stop.
27:54Wait,
27:55what made you come back?
27:56Oh,
27:56I received a letter
27:59from Caroline Bingley.
28:01What?
28:02Yes.
28:03She wrote to me
28:04and she told me
28:04about your conversation
28:05and I realised
28:06I was being ridiculous.
28:07From Caroline Bingley?
28:08Yes.
28:09She did something kind.
28:11Wait,
28:11however,
28:12did she find you?
28:13She has a ways.
28:14She's a...
28:18My only wish
28:19is that we could thank her
28:20but she has left London.
28:22Oh.
28:22She's gone to Italy
28:24in pursuit
28:25of Mr. Ryder.
28:27Now?
28:28Yes.
28:30Now?
28:31Yes.
28:34Oh, no.
28:41Oh, no.
28:44Oh, no.
28:44Oh, no.
28:48And so it was
28:50that I married him
28:52but on my own terms
28:54in my own time
28:56and I hope
28:58you'll realise
28:58that is almost
29:00beside the point.
29:12The point, perhaps,
29:14was just as Hill
29:15had predicted
29:16all that time ago
29:18that I needed
29:19to get out
29:20and see the world
29:21outside my family
29:23so that I could find
29:25my place in it.
29:38And that is
29:39the last of them.
29:41Really?
29:42No.
29:47The indigo is splendid.
29:49It's actually
29:49Tyrion purple.
29:50It's Tyrion?
29:51Yes,
29:52from the Greek myth
29:52about Hercules' dog
29:53chewing a spiny
29:54murex sea snail.
29:55I didn't know
29:56Hercules had a dog.
29:58Keep up, Thomas.
30:01I am trying.
30:07What's next?
30:10Spring green
30:11in the drawing room.
30:48Thank you,
30:52I am trying.
