00:00:15Previously...
00:00:15I mean, you don't intend to live your life in order to please other people's expectations.
00:00:19May I call you by your Christian name?
00:00:21By...
00:00:22Yes.
00:00:23It's Elspeth.
00:00:25And I'm Claire.
00:00:26All I'm asking is that you contact this Claudel fellow and encourage him to meet with me.
00:00:30I'll consider it.
00:00:32You think Frank is torturing you?
00:00:33I just don't know what's real or not anymore.
00:00:36Well, Cameron, he read my gate for time travel by accident.
00:00:39No one on the ridge.
00:00:40Kens of this Gord's existence.
00:00:42Can I let them find out?
00:00:43Daddy's book warns of a battle coming to the backcountry.
00:00:46We're going to need a lot more than just a few hunting rifles and Savannah is the place to get
00:00:49them.
00:00:50Lord John Grey included a letter of safe passage with his invitation.
00:00:53You're raising a loyalist militia.
00:00:55On my land.
00:00:56I am sorely mistaken.
00:00:58If you think I will allow it.
00:01:03I have reconsidered your plan to get guns to arm the ridge.
00:01:06It'll still be dangerous.
00:01:08Randall's book says the battle to end the siege of Savannah will be on the 9th of October.
00:01:13Continentals will fail.
00:01:15The battle will be bloody, but...
00:01:17It will not reach the center of the city, so if you wait out the fight in there, you should
00:01:20be safe enough.
00:01:21As will Fergus, Marsley.
00:01:23And the children can stay here with us, of course.
00:01:26Take this to Lieutenant Colonel Francis Marion.
00:01:29Book says he'll be with the Continental Army in Savannah.
00:01:33He's a great deal of experience with militias.
00:01:35Might be keen to arm men from the backcountry.
00:01:38So we're starting our own militia?
00:01:40What's that?
00:01:41Or we join Benjamin Cleveland and his overmountain men.
00:01:45I'll be damned if I'll report back to that murdering bastard.
00:01:49I think he'll at least have the decency to shine, like in a film.
00:01:59What about bandits?
00:02:01Do you want to make it into musket balls like you did the last time?
00:02:04No.
00:02:05There's no time.
00:02:06But I do have an idea.
00:02:15Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
00:02:23Say, could that last be I?
00:02:32Mary of soul, she sailed on a day
00:02:37Over the sea to sky
00:02:47Billow and breeze
00:02:50Islands and seas
00:02:53Mountains of rain and sun
00:02:58All that was good
00:03:01All that was good
00:03:05All that was me
00:03:07Is gone
00:03:13Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
00:03:19Say, could that lass be I?
00:03:25Mary of soul, she sailed on a day
00:03:31Over the sea
00:03:39To sky
00:03:44I
00:03:49I
00:03:49I
00:03:49I
00:03:49I
00:03:49I
00:03:54Oh, my God.
00:04:19What is that abominable smell?
00:04:21It's a wee gift from Jamie and Claire.
00:04:23It's sauerkraut.
00:04:26Oh.
00:04:42Magnifica.
00:04:44The whiskey, my distinction.
00:04:46Star's idea.
00:04:47Perfect hiding place.
00:04:55Gold.
00:04:56It's for muskets.
00:04:58Jamie's former militia,
00:04:59and there's an officer in the Continental Camp,
00:05:02Francis Marion,
00:05:03who's been known to arm backcountry patriots.
00:05:07We thought it best to leave this minor detail
00:05:10out of our letter to you.
00:05:12I don't imagine you're turned to traipse into an army camp with the king's ransom and bullion.
00:05:17No.
00:05:19I don't want to invite any trouble.
00:05:22Nor do I expect Marion will have crates of guns just lying around the camp that he can readily part
00:05:28with.
00:05:29Arrangements will have to be made.
00:05:31So, we were hoping you could...
00:05:34Hi.
00:05:35Of course you can leave the Cove of us.
00:05:37Vargas has got plenty of hiding places.
00:05:39Yeah.
00:05:39I wouldn't be surprised if you found the Crown Jewels.
00:05:42It shouldn't be fun long.
00:05:43It's no trouble.
00:05:44Now, can we please seal these barrels tightly until I can find some Germans who will...
00:05:49I need this.
00:05:50Let us secrete the gold and drink to our reunion.
00:05:53It's been too long since I've tasted Moulot's divine elixir.
00:05:57That's for sure.
00:06:02To be safe, do you think you should leave for the camp now?
00:06:06I don't know, Fash.
00:06:08There's plenty of time to find Marion and be back before the battle.
00:06:16I think Trammell will speed me on my way.
00:06:37Cunningham wasn't exaggerating.
00:06:38I was collecting rents trying to ascertain the loyalties of the settlers.
00:06:42That arousing suspicion.
00:06:45Most of the families here are loyal to the Crown.
00:06:47But those who aren't would be reluctant to join a militia that oppose it.
00:06:52I can only try to recruit them without risking it.
00:06:56Getting back to Cunningham.
00:06:58Surely the odds me a man will fight when it comes to it.
00:07:01Ah, of course.
00:07:03And a few others, but it will only be enough.
00:07:05Only to recruit men from further afield.
00:07:09I leave today with Ian and Josiah.
00:07:14They can the outposts that have cropped up while we're away.
00:07:17Well, you can't keep Cunningham waiting forever.
00:07:20I mean, he's going to realize that you've no intention of joining him.
00:07:25Wouldn't it be simpler to just evict him and be done with it?
00:07:28If I evict him or even tell him, someone will replace him or come to avenge him.
00:07:33No, it's better if I have him close so I can keep an eye on him.
00:07:40He told me his commander is Major Patrick Ferguson.
00:07:46Frank wrote to the man.
00:07:49He's the one that formed the loyalist militia that fight at King's Mountain.
00:07:54I'm still not sure of Frank's motives in writing that book.
00:07:58Aye, but what he wrote is happening before our eyes.
00:08:01And my Cleveland, and now Cunningham, speaks of Major Ferguson.
00:08:04But that's not proof that you fight.
00:08:07He could be lying.
00:08:08The book says that Major Ferguson is vicious.
00:08:12Ruthless on the battlefield and off.
00:08:15Burning the homes of rebels without warning, forcing their allegiance.
00:08:21I'm not certain I will fade clear, but if Cunningham is forming a militia,
00:08:27we need to be ready, regardless of the book.
00:08:35To muskets, liberty, and cell crowd.
00:08:46Strange for a minister and his wife to smuggle guns, no?
00:08:50That was Brianna's idea, actually.
00:08:53The last people anyone would ever suspect.
00:08:55And once we get back to the ridge, well,
00:08:58our family is a doctor, a soldier, a minister.
00:09:02Thought we needed an armourer.
00:09:03Ah, there's me thinking you came all this way to visit us
00:09:06and paint a wee picture for Lord John.
00:09:09It happens I recently received a letter from his lordship.
00:09:12He suggested I meet with one of his associates.
00:09:15Percival Beauchamp.
00:09:16Are either of you familiar with this man?
00:09:19No.
00:09:20He claims to have information that will be of great interest to me,
00:09:23but Lord John says he can be a slippery fellow.
00:09:26I must make up my own mind whether what he says is trustworthy.
00:09:30You know our mother's maiden name was Beauchamp?
00:09:32I mean, obviously the English pronounce it Beauchamp,
00:09:35but that's quite a coincidence.
00:09:38Merde.
00:09:40Merde.
00:09:52Cowards!
00:10:05Are you two all right?
00:10:07I'm, I'm, I hear you.
00:10:09Yeah, I did not bother to put a note on it this time.
00:10:12This time?
00:10:13What, this has happened before?
00:10:15Ah, with some horrible threatening letters.
00:10:17Filth.
00:10:17Bag full of dead rats.
00:10:19Another with a serpent.
00:10:20The bastard escaped.
00:10:26Wait, what is going on?
00:10:27These days, when people don't like the news, they tend to blame the printer.
00:10:32If someone discovers you're patriots,
00:10:35Jamie mentioned you'd been printing for the cause.
00:10:37The culprit is as likely to be a patriot as not.
00:10:41While privately we print pamphlets for the rebels, publicly we take a more impartial approach.
00:10:46Yeah, and trying to not anger one side, you end up angering both sides.
00:10:51Just the life of a news printer in these troubled times.
00:11:13Do you, uh, any weapons?
00:11:15Aye, just the one rifle twixt the three of us.
00:11:22Not well na' do.
00:11:23Not in war.
00:11:25Nor hunting.
00:11:26Wouldn't I think we'd tell.
00:11:28Doesn't a matter.
00:11:29I'm expecting a shipment shortly.
00:11:32When the time comes, you'll each have your own musket and shop.
00:11:38Who will ride with you, Mr. Fraser?
00:11:40Excellent.
00:11:41Josiah, take down your names.
00:11:43What's your name?
00:11:44Miller.
00:11:47Uncle.
00:11:49What is it, lad?
00:11:52Maybe it's nothing.
00:11:54We've recruited three more men.
00:11:56There's this Scottish fellow over yonder.
00:12:00And when he heard I was from Fraser's Reggie, he mentioned he was heading there himself.
00:12:05That he Kent, Roger, and Brianna.
00:12:09From Scotland.
00:12:12He says you're looking for them.
00:12:14Cameron.
00:12:15Aye.
00:12:32James Fraser.
00:12:34I understand you're acquainted with my daughter, Brianna McKenzie.
00:12:38I am.
00:12:39Aye.
00:12:41You're Robert Cameron, then.
00:12:43Christ, no, man.
00:12:46No Rob Cameron.
00:12:49My name is William Buckley McKenzie.
00:12:53Come you tell Roger and Brianna that Cameron won't be bothering them again.
00:12:59And to return, Roger's wee book.
00:13:06Don't want it falling in the wrong hands a second time.
00:13:16Welcome, Mackenzie.
00:13:20You remind me of your father.
00:13:27Perhaps when you've finished painting, Lady Grey, you could paint a portrait of Marcelie and me.
00:13:32You'd be happy to.
00:13:33I'll paint the whole family.
00:13:35Oh, we need to send to Philadelphia for a canvas big enough.
00:13:39Don't linger at the Continental Camp.
00:13:42Talk among the merchants is that a battle is imminent.
00:13:45I'll return as soon as I'm able.
00:13:48We'll see you.
00:13:49To you.
00:13:49To you soon.
00:13:51With any luck, I'll see you both soon.
00:13:53Good luck.
00:14:13Do you think houses are alive?
00:14:16That was the win.
00:14:21But yes, I think places that people live in for a time absorb a little bit of them.
00:14:32I often think that houses affect the people living in them.
00:14:37So, why wouldn't it work both ways?
00:14:43So, do you think Amy Lindsay's still in her cabin, wanting it?
00:14:49I don't know about her cabin exactly.
00:14:54When people die, naturally the people they leave behind sense them.
00:15:01In a sense, that a part of them is still with them in a way.
00:15:07I don't know that I would call that a haunting though.
00:15:10It's more like a memory, a longing.
00:15:18I wish Jane would want me.
00:15:22Fanny.
00:15:28You won't forget her.
00:15:31And she won't forget you either.
00:15:36You know, talking about the people we've lost
00:15:41can make it seem as though they're still with us.
00:15:48Jane used to whisper
00:15:51goodnight, Marshanie,
00:15:53before we went to sleep.
00:15:58She spoke French.
00:16:00A little.
00:16:02She said that's what our mother used to call me.
00:16:06Marshanie.
00:16:08Jane used to tell me about our parents before bed.
00:16:16She was trying to help you keep the memory alive.
00:16:20She would tell me good things.
00:16:23Or funny things.
00:16:25But we would never talk about
00:16:27anything serious.
00:16:30She'd talk to the other girls at the brothel.
00:16:32I know she was trying to protect me.
00:16:34Sometimes I wish she hadn't.
00:16:44I'd better go close that window.
00:17:04And your little dog, too.
00:17:05What did you say?
00:17:10Mrs. Cunningham's coming.
00:17:12Could you show her into the parlour?
00:17:14I'll be right there.
00:17:14She's probably come for the slippery elm powder I promised her.
00:17:20Good evening, Mrs. Cunningham.
00:17:22Do you want to lay in the parlour, please?
00:17:23I most certainly will not wait.
00:17:26I need help.
00:17:35Go get some whiskey, please.
00:17:38What happened?
00:17:41Fell.
00:17:42Tripped over the scuttle like a fool
00:17:44and fell on my shoulder.
00:17:46Don't worry.
00:17:47I can fix it.
00:17:49I wouldn't have staggered two miles
00:17:50through buggering brambles
00:17:52if I didn't think you could.
00:17:55And where is your son?
00:17:58He's away.
00:18:11As I thought, dislocated.
00:18:20Fanny.
00:18:23I'll hold her tight here.
00:18:26That's it, Elspeth.
00:18:29This is going to hurt.
00:18:32Mm-hmm.
00:18:35Mm-hmm.
00:18:43All right.
00:18:45Ready?
00:18:48Oof.
00:18:53Grass-crumming son of a buggering salt!
00:19:04What, child?
00:19:06It's been a long time since I heard language like that.
00:19:10Well, if you have to do with soldiers, young woman,
00:19:13you acquire their vices as well as their virtues.
00:19:18Where am I asked did you hear language like that?
00:19:21I lived in a brothel.
00:19:24Indeed.
00:19:27I suppose whores also have their virtues as well as their vices.
00:19:33I don't know about the virtues,
00:19:34unless you count being able to satisfy a man
00:19:37in two minutes by the clock.
00:19:39Oh, I think that would be classed as a skill
00:19:42rather than a virtue.
00:19:45They're a useful one, I dare say.
00:19:47I'm sure everyone has their strong points.
00:19:50Fanny, would you go to the kitchen
00:19:52and make up a plate for Mrs Cunningham?
00:19:57You know, I have always wondered
00:20:00about the term grass-combing.
00:20:03Is it actual bad language?
00:20:05Or is it just descriptive?
00:20:08Well, it usually applies to someone
00:20:10who is either idle or incompetent.
00:20:13Why combing grass should invoke either attribute
00:20:18is unclear.
00:20:19But it isn't actually bad language
00:20:22unless the term bugger is applied.
00:20:25I've never actually heard it without bugger.
00:20:30You must have heard much more
00:20:32if you were travelling with the army.
00:20:34Oh, it's worse than you think.
00:20:37My first husband was a sailor.
00:20:41Well, I believe you've shocked Fanny.
00:20:45Not with the actual language,
00:20:47but that it came from a respectable woman
00:20:50such as you.
00:20:51Oh, well.
00:20:53Women tend to be freer in their speech
00:20:55and there aren't any men present.
00:20:58She's a remarkable child.
00:21:01But you must try to persuade her not to...
00:21:03She knows not to talk like that in public,
00:21:05as I'm sure do you.
00:21:07But you're free to say anything you like here tonight
00:21:10as I'm not letting you go back to your cabin
00:21:12in your condition.
00:21:13Well, by my condition,
00:21:14whether you mean injured or inebriated,
00:21:18I'm not sure,
00:21:19but in other cases, thank you.
00:21:23I'm not sure.
00:21:40Hi, um.
00:21:41Bloody hell, it's you.
00:21:47William, would you like to invite our guest in?
00:21:49She's had quite a long journey.
00:21:51Forgive me, Mrs. McKenzie.
00:21:54The unexpected pleasure of seeing you again
00:21:56has caused me to forget myself.
00:22:06I was delighted when you accepted my invitation, my dear.
00:22:09I was beginning to fear I'd never see you again.
00:22:12Feels like a lifetime since we all met.
00:22:15Allow me to introduce Amaranthus,
00:22:17Viscountess Grey,
00:22:18my late nephew's widow.
00:22:21Pleasure.
00:22:23I'm sorry for your loss.
00:22:26Lord John mentioned he'd sent for a portrait painter.
00:22:29Didn't realize it would be a woman.
00:22:32You must be very skilled for him to ask you to come.
00:22:35Where is it you traveled from?
00:22:36North Carolina.
00:22:38Surely you did not undertake the journey alone.
00:22:40I was under the impression that your husband would be accompanying you.
00:22:44Ah, he did.
00:22:45But he's currently attending to an errand outside the city.
00:22:49It's time for Trevor's bedtime feed.
00:22:52It was a pleasure, Mrs. McKenzie.
00:22:58Yes.
00:23:00Well, uh, various important matters require my attention.
00:23:04So, I will leave you two to become reacquainted.
00:23:17You came from North Carolina.
00:23:20Last we met, you were on your way to Boston.
00:23:23These are dangerous times.
00:23:25We thought it best to be with family,
00:23:27so we returned to Fraser's Reg.
00:23:29You must have met Fanny, then.
00:23:32Is she well?
00:23:33Yes, she is.
00:23:35My mother has taken quite a liking to her.
00:23:38So has my father.
00:23:41Well, I mean, our father.
00:23:51Did you know, the day we met in Wilmington,
00:23:54did you know what we were to each other?
00:23:59I did.
00:24:01I wanted to tell you.
00:24:04Roger and my husband was with me.
00:24:06He was just around the corner at the inn.
00:24:08And my children, Jem and Mandy.
00:24:12I really wanted you to meet them.
00:24:16Even if you didn't know we were,
00:24:21well, yours.
00:24:24Mine.
00:24:27I should probably say something polite,
00:24:30like, only if you want us, but that's...
00:24:32Bit late for that.
00:24:34To lie about the truth, I mean.
00:24:37I do apologize.
00:24:39For not telling you.
00:24:41But Lord Jonandah felt so strongly...
00:24:47It wasn't my place.
00:24:51I accept your apology.
00:24:54Though, in all honesty,
00:24:55I'm glad you didn't tell me.
00:24:58I wouldn't have known how to respond
00:25:00to such a revelation at the time.
00:25:04And you do now?
00:25:06No, I bloody don't.
00:25:09But I haven't blown my brains out.
00:25:12When I was 18, I might have.
00:25:16I apologize.
00:25:18I didn't mean that
00:25:19with any derogatory reference
00:25:21to you or your family.
00:25:23Your family, you mean?
00:25:37Thank you for coming, Monsieur Fraser.
00:25:39Allow me to send for wine.
00:25:41Oh, no thank you.
00:25:42I came to hear what you have to say,
00:25:43but I must get back to my work.
00:25:46Very well then, sir.
00:25:49I'll get right to it.
00:25:53I wish to acquaint you
00:25:54with the facts of your birth.
00:25:58Facts I think you do not know.
00:26:02Have you heard of a man
00:26:03by the man by the name of
00:26:04Le Comte Saint-Germain?
00:26:08Why?
00:26:09You are his son.
00:26:15I'm sure you'll have an explanation
00:26:17as to how you came to this
00:26:20preposterous conclusion.
00:26:23As you may have surmised,
00:26:24I am not French myself.
00:26:26I have, however,
00:26:28married into a prestigious
00:26:29French family.
00:26:31My wife is the sister
00:26:33of the Baron Amandine,
00:26:34and as with any old dynasty,
00:26:37there is a sordid family secret.
00:26:42Many years ago,
00:26:43my wife's older sister
00:26:44began a torrid affair
00:26:45with the Comte,
00:26:46and not long after,
00:26:47disappeared,
00:26:48fled into the night
00:26:49with her jewels,
00:26:50and they supposed
00:26:51into the arms
00:26:52of another lover.
00:26:54I take it you wish me
00:26:56to believe I'm the result
00:26:57of this tryst?
00:26:59Perhaps the name
00:27:00of the woman in question
00:27:01will convince you.
00:27:04Amélie Levine Beauchamp.
00:27:10I've met a young girl
00:27:11who's called Amélie,
00:27:11but she's dead
00:27:12for a long time.
00:27:15Yes.
00:27:16Yes, she is dead.
00:27:19You may continue.
00:27:21A few years ago,
00:27:23I uncovered the truth
00:27:24from one of the Comte's
00:27:25servants.
00:27:27Amélie did not run away
00:27:28with a lover.
00:27:29The Comte simply grew
00:27:30weary of her,
00:27:31and learning she was
00:27:32pregnant,
00:27:33lured her away from home,
00:27:34drugged her with opium,
00:27:36and sold her
00:27:37to a brothel.
00:27:40Maison Élise.
00:27:41That is where
00:27:42she gave birth
00:27:43to a child.
00:27:45You.
00:27:50Et Monsieur Le Comte?
00:27:52He was last seen
00:27:53more than 30 years ago,
00:27:54and while no body
00:27:56was found,
00:27:56the circumstances
00:27:57of his disappearance
00:27:58were so mysterious
00:27:59that a magistrate
00:28:00declared him deceased.
00:28:02His estate
00:28:03is currently held
00:28:04in trust
00:28:04by a solicitor
00:28:06in Paris.
00:28:07But it would
00:28:09undoubtedly be released
00:28:11should a petition
00:28:12be filed
00:28:12by his heir.
00:28:17Unless the law
00:28:18in France
00:28:18is changed
00:28:19of later.
00:28:20A bastard
00:28:20cannot inherit
00:28:21property,
00:28:23so...
00:28:23Claudel.
00:28:26If I may use
00:28:27your original name.
00:28:35You may not, sir.
00:28:38Very well.
00:28:40I found this.
00:28:42Hidden in the pages
00:28:44of a dusty family Bible.
00:28:45I'm quite certain
00:28:47I'm the only one
00:28:48living who knows
00:28:49of its existence.
00:28:52It is a contract
00:28:54of marriage.
00:29:13It appears
00:29:15Amelie relinquished
00:29:16her virtue
00:29:16at a high price
00:29:18by demanding
00:29:19the Comte
00:29:20marry her
00:29:21in secret
00:29:22before welcoming
00:29:23him to her bed.
00:29:29Allow me
00:29:30to congratulate
00:29:31you, sir.
00:29:33You are not
00:29:33a bastard.
00:29:36Assuming the document
00:29:37isn't forged
00:29:39plainly
00:29:40you have something
00:29:40you want
00:29:41out of this.
00:29:43Something
00:29:43Monsieur le Conseil
00:29:44might accomplish
00:29:45for you?
00:29:46Le Conseil
00:29:47Saint-Germain
00:29:47owned his estate
00:29:49but still does
00:29:49own a majority
00:29:50of the stock
00:29:51of a syndicate
00:29:51investing in land
00:29:52in the New World.
00:29:53The main asset
00:29:54of which
00:29:55is a large parcel
00:29:56in what is known
00:29:56as the Old
00:29:57Northwest.
00:29:59Some
00:30:01interests
00:30:02of mine
00:30:02in Paris
00:30:03believe that
00:30:04while Britain
00:30:04is preoccupied
00:30:06with this rebellion
00:30:07there is an opportunity
00:30:08to establish
00:30:09a French colony
00:30:10on the land
00:30:11with French settlers.
00:30:16Unfortunately
00:30:16Le Conseil
00:30:17solicitor
00:30:18refuses to sell
00:30:19the stock
00:30:19at any price.
00:30:25But if legitimate
00:30:26air were to appear
00:30:27the land
00:30:29would become his.
00:30:30And my associates
00:30:31would pay said
00:30:32a significant sum
00:30:33for said land.
00:30:37A significant
00:30:39sum.
00:30:49Have I done
00:30:50something to offend you?
00:30:52Simply trying to enjoy
00:30:53my literature
00:30:54in solitude.
00:30:55Should you require
00:30:55company perhaps
00:30:56Mrs Mackenzie
00:30:58will oblige you?
00:31:00Lady Grey
00:31:00are you jealous?
00:31:02Don't be absurd.
00:31:05Though anyone
00:31:06with eyes
00:31:06can see
00:31:07that there's
00:31:07a history
00:31:08between the two
00:31:08of you.
00:31:11I suppose
00:31:11you're right.
00:31:12She's a person
00:31:13of some significance
00:31:14in my life.
00:31:15Please.
00:31:16I thought
00:31:18we'd...
00:31:20It doesn't matter.
00:31:22It was foolish.
00:31:25Miss Mackenzie
00:31:26Brianna
00:31:28is my sister.
00:31:34You told me
00:31:35you didn't have
00:31:35any siblings.
00:31:41I'm a bastard.
00:31:43Well,
00:31:44I'm not legally
00:31:44a bastard
00:31:45since the 8th Earl
00:31:46of Ellesmay
00:31:47and my mother
00:31:47were married
00:31:47when I was born.
00:31:49But the 8th Earl
00:31:50was not
00:31:52my father.
00:31:54The man
00:31:55who sighed me
00:31:56was...
00:31:58is...
00:31:59Brianna's father.
00:32:03Well,
00:32:05whoever he was
00:32:06he must have been
00:32:07a...
00:32:08a very striking
00:32:10gentleman.
00:32:13He is.
00:32:16Has he
00:32:17acknowledged you?
00:32:18Not publicly,
00:32:19no.
00:32:20Nor will
00:32:21want him to.
00:32:22He owes me
00:32:23nothing.
00:32:25I'm only telling
00:32:26you this
00:32:27because
00:32:27you asked.
00:32:31Because I
00:32:32enjoy your
00:32:33company.
00:32:35May I be
00:32:36so bold
00:32:36as to presume
00:32:37you enjoy mine?
00:32:43That is
00:32:44bold.
00:32:48though perhaps
00:32:49not incorrect.
00:32:52Well,
00:32:54I think it's only
00:32:55fair
00:32:55one comprehends
00:32:57a person
00:32:58whose company
00:32:58one is enjoying.
00:33:02I am not
00:33:03the 9th Earl
00:33:04of Ellesmere.
00:33:06Not really.
00:33:08I never was.
00:33:11Of late
00:33:11I've found
00:33:12myself wishing
00:33:12I could renounce
00:33:13the damn title
00:33:14altogether.
00:33:15Though
00:33:16English law
00:33:17makes that
00:33:17all but
00:33:18impossible.
00:33:19Well,
00:33:20you may not
00:33:20be able to
00:33:21renounce it
00:33:21but you
00:33:21can hand it
00:33:22on.
00:33:23Abdicate
00:33:24in favour
00:33:24of your heir,
00:33:25I mean.
00:33:26I don't
00:33:26have an heir.
00:33:28Well,
00:33:28you could marry
00:33:29me and give
00:33:29it to our
00:33:29firstborn.
00:33:32I'm a widow
00:33:33after all.
00:33:35So we could
00:33:36retire into
00:33:37private life
00:33:37and breed
00:33:38Dachshunds.
00:33:43I can't
00:33:44imagine anything
00:33:45more tiresome.
00:33:46Surely
00:33:47you don't
00:33:47mean to imply
00:33:48that being
00:33:48married to me
00:33:49would be
00:33:49tiresome,
00:33:50William.
00:33:52Might just
00:33:52possibly enjoy
00:33:53it.
00:33:57thank you,
00:33:59Amorathus,
00:34:01for not
00:34:01thinking less
00:34:02of me.
00:34:05As I've
00:34:06told you,
00:34:08I'm the
00:34:08daughter of
00:34:09F.
00:34:09Cowden,
00:34:10bookseller.
00:34:12That's all
00:34:13my father is
00:34:14to the world.
00:34:16I thought
00:34:17I would be
00:34:17a merchant's
00:34:18wife,
00:34:20but now
00:34:21I am
00:34:21Viscountess
00:34:22Grey.
00:34:25my son
00:34:26will be
00:34:27the Duke
00:34:27of Pardlow.
00:34:29Well,
00:34:30you may
00:34:30disagree.
00:34:31I believe
00:34:32a title
00:34:33is something
00:34:33you simply
00:34:34have,
00:34:35not something
00:34:35you are.
00:34:37By law,
00:34:38you are the
00:34:38Earl of Ellesmere.
00:34:40That's all the
00:34:41world needs to know.
00:34:49not only that,
00:34:50William.
00:34:52Not to me.
00:34:57How's the pain?
00:34:59In my shoulder or my head?
00:35:02Both,
00:35:03I suppose.
00:35:04Bearable.
00:35:06Though I wish
00:35:07the girl would
00:35:08refrain from
00:35:08slamming doors.
00:35:10That's not
00:35:11Fanny.
00:35:12She's taking
00:35:13milk
00:35:13of Devon
00:35:14Lindsay's.
00:35:16Then who?
00:35:17Ours
00:35:17make sounds,
00:35:18Elspeth.
00:35:19All I know
00:35:20is that
00:35:21when the wind
00:35:22is in the east,
00:35:22ours makes
00:35:23that particular noise
00:35:24from the attic.
00:35:25Why build an attic
00:35:27in the first place?
00:35:29Because my husband
00:35:30is the Fraser
00:35:31of Fraser's Ridge.
00:35:33If there should
00:35:34ever be any
00:35:35kind of emergency
00:35:36that causes our
00:35:37tenants to have
00:35:37to leave their home,
00:35:38well,
00:35:39then they can
00:35:39take refuge
00:35:41here with us.
00:35:42And what kind
00:35:43of an emergency
00:35:44might that be?
00:35:53Your son
00:35:55do you believe
00:35:56what he says
00:35:57about
00:35:58my grandson's
00:35:59death?
00:36:00Yes.
00:36:01I do believe him.
00:36:03It is a comfort.
00:36:06I was thinking
00:36:07specifically about
00:36:10what he said
00:36:11to him.
00:36:12That he,
00:36:13your grandson,
00:36:13would see Charles
00:36:14again
00:36:14in seven years'
00:36:16time.
00:36:17Do you believe
00:36:18that?
00:36:20I only know
00:36:21that he believes
00:36:22it.
00:36:30good day,
00:36:31Mrs. Fraser.
00:36:33I'm here
00:36:33to collect
00:36:34my mother.
00:36:35I'll help her
00:36:36get her things.
00:36:37No need.
00:36:38I'll do it myself.
00:36:44You'll find her
00:36:45through here.
00:36:49Mother,
00:36:50are you well?
00:36:51I heard that you
00:36:52were injured.
00:36:52Yes,
00:36:53my shoulder.
00:36:54But Mrs. Fraser
00:36:55was able to heal it
00:36:56quite satisfactorily.
00:36:58She's been most
00:36:59hospitable.
00:37:00I've enjoyed
00:37:01the company.
00:37:02Her husband's
00:37:03away at the moment
00:37:04on business.
00:37:05Is he?
00:37:06I had wondered.
00:37:08He's a hard man
00:37:09to pin down,
00:37:10your husband.
00:37:10We had been
00:37:11meaning to talk.
00:37:13Or so I
00:37:15thought.
00:37:17He's anxious
00:37:18to speak with
00:37:18you too.
00:37:19But this
00:37:21business
00:37:21couldn't wait.
00:37:23Well,
00:37:25I thank you,
00:37:26ma'am,
00:37:26for the care
00:37:27you've shown
00:37:28my mother.
00:37:29She should be
00:37:30fully recovered
00:37:31within a week
00:37:31or so.
00:37:32But here are
00:37:34some herbs
00:37:35that should
00:37:36ease her
00:37:37discomfort.
00:37:40You have
00:37:41a very fine
00:37:41home.
00:37:43It must feel
00:37:44very empty
00:37:44with him away
00:37:45and you
00:37:47here all alone.
00:37:56I'm fine.
00:37:58I can assure you.
00:38:02I expect him
00:38:03home at any
00:38:03moment.
00:38:04I'll let him
00:38:05know you stopped
00:38:06by.
00:38:10Charles,
00:38:11did you bring
00:38:12the cart?
00:38:13Of course,
00:38:14mother.
00:38:20Until next time,
00:38:22Mrs. Fraser.
00:38:33Do you think
00:38:34he's telling you
00:38:34the truth?
00:38:35Be very well,
00:38:36maybe.
00:38:38Emily,
00:38:39I knew her,
00:38:40but I...
00:38:43I didn't know
00:38:44she was my
00:38:44mother.
00:38:47There are many
00:38:48children born
00:38:48in a brothel.
00:38:50The little ones
00:38:51they would call
00:38:51any whore,
00:38:52ma'am,
00:38:52anyone who would
00:38:53feed them.
00:38:55And if a whore
00:38:56had to attend a
00:38:56customer and a
00:38:57child was hungry,
00:38:58she would just
00:38:59hand him to
00:38:59another jeune
00:39:00fee.
00:39:00Eve.
00:39:02Emily,
00:39:03they called her
00:39:04the Baroness
00:39:04for a haughty
00:39:05manner.
00:39:09Even then,
00:39:10I knew the name
00:39:10was cruel,
00:39:11but until today,
00:39:12I didn't realize
00:39:13how cruel.
00:39:23was she kind
00:39:24to you?
00:39:25She detested
00:39:26all of the
00:39:27children of the
00:39:27Brussels,
00:39:28and me most of
00:39:31all.
00:39:34I understand
00:39:35I was the
00:39:36spawn of the
00:39:37man who took
00:39:38everything from
00:39:38her.
00:39:40Her love,
00:39:42her freedom,
00:39:45even her family.
00:39:51I think I was
00:39:52maybe six years
00:39:53old when she
00:39:53died.
00:39:54She contracted
00:39:55the morbid
00:39:55sore throat.
00:40:00I remember
00:40:01she summoned
00:40:01me to her
00:40:02chamber.
00:40:04What did
00:40:05she say?
00:40:07Sois un bon
00:40:07garçon.
00:40:10Be a good
00:40:11boy.
00:40:22It wasn't
00:40:23fair for her
00:40:24to blame
00:40:24me for what
00:40:25happened to
00:40:25her.
00:40:27I wouldn't
00:40:27expect fairness
00:40:28from one whose
00:40:29life was filled
00:40:29with so much
00:40:30cruelty.
00:40:32At the hands
00:40:33of such a
00:40:33villain,
00:40:36the
00:40:36consigne
00:40:37Germain in
00:40:37France,
00:40:38he tried to
00:40:38kill my
00:40:38lady.
00:40:40And now
00:40:41to learn
00:40:42that he
00:40:42sired me.
00:40:44You are not
00:40:44him.
00:40:46I know that
00:40:47better than
00:40:47anyone,
00:40:48my love.
00:40:49But if you
00:40:50are truly
00:40:50his heir,
00:40:51then you can
00:40:52use what he
00:40:53has left you
00:40:53for good.
00:40:55If you take
00:40:55this Beuchamp
00:40:56up on his
00:40:57offer...
00:40:58That man is a
00:40:58whore.
00:40:59I should know.
00:41:01He's likely
00:41:01been known all
00:41:02his life.
00:41:03Monsieur Beuchamp
00:41:03is told to sell
00:41:04his arse, of course,
00:41:05but he would sell
00:41:05himself.
00:41:07From necessity.
00:41:08All he's asking,
00:41:09though, is that you
00:41:10sell him some land,
00:41:11no?
00:41:13Land that you have a
00:41:14right to by birth.
00:41:15Yes, but why?
00:41:17What effect will
00:41:18that have,
00:41:20selling it to
00:41:20these interests
00:41:21in Paris?
00:41:22They want to
00:41:22install a French
00:41:23colony on American
00:41:24soil, but we've
00:41:26devoted ourselves
00:41:27to the Patriot
00:41:28cause.
00:41:31We're not
00:41:31fighting to be
00:41:32free of a British
00:41:33king just to
00:41:33become servants
00:41:34of a French
00:41:35one.
00:41:36You don't
00:41:37care now
00:41:37come to that?
00:41:40You don't know
00:41:40that it won't?
00:41:43That isn't
00:41:44everything.
00:41:45Again, you
00:41:46Vegas Fraser.
00:41:48Why is this
00:41:49offer so difficult
00:41:50to consider?
00:41:52To claim this
00:41:54inheritance,
00:41:55this land,
00:41:58I must publicly
00:41:59acknowledge that
00:42:00the Comte Saint-Germain
00:42:01was my father.
00:42:04Monsieur Beuchamp
00:42:05told me whatever
00:42:06he often wants
00:42:07to hear,
00:42:08that I'm the son
00:42:09of a great man.
00:42:16But I'm already
00:42:17the son of a great
00:42:18man.
00:42:35Do not worry,
00:42:36my dear.
00:42:37A French warship
00:42:38at Treat has taken
00:42:39to firing her
00:42:40cannon on occasion.
00:42:42Dreadful nuisance.
00:42:45She's anchored
00:42:45on the far end
00:42:46of Hutchinson Island,
00:42:48out of range
00:42:48to do any damage
00:42:49here in town.
00:42:53I assure you,
00:42:54you're perfectly safe.
00:42:58Oh, glad to hear it.
00:43:03So, why didn't you tell
00:43:05William I was coming?
00:43:08Because, um,
00:43:11because I didn't know
00:43:12how he would react.
00:43:15It seems William's
00:43:16husband, um,
00:43:19lost since he learned
00:43:20the truth of his
00:43:21parentage.
00:43:22But, um,
00:43:24you and he share
00:43:25a rather unique
00:43:26experience,
00:43:28discovering that
00:43:28James Fraser
00:43:29is your father.
00:43:31So that's why
00:43:32you invited me here.
00:43:34Not to paint
00:43:35a portrait of Amaranthus.
00:43:36You think I can
00:43:37help William?
00:43:38I do think
00:43:40that a portrait
00:43:41of his grandchild
00:43:42and daughter-in-law
00:43:43will do my brother
00:43:43the world of good,
00:43:44but, yes.
00:43:48If there's anyone
00:43:49who can talk some sense
00:43:50into William
00:43:50about his present
00:43:51difficulties,
00:43:53it's you.
00:43:55You could have just
00:43:56told me the truth,
00:43:56you know.
00:43:58I would have come
00:43:59anyway.
00:44:00I don't believe
00:44:01you've been entirely
00:44:02truthful with me
00:44:02either.
00:44:03Or should I ask
00:44:04precisely what, um,
00:44:06errands your husband
00:44:07has outside the city?
00:44:09Does it perhaps
00:44:11have something to do
00:44:11with the Continental Army
00:44:13encampment there?
00:44:17I-I could have been
00:44:20more direct
00:44:22about my
00:44:23intentions
00:44:24for this visit,
00:44:25but
00:44:27I couldn't take
00:44:28the chance
00:44:28you'd rebuff me now.
00:44:31Even if there's
00:44:32one
00:44:33trait
00:44:34that James Fraser
00:44:36has successfully
00:44:37passed
00:44:38to all his children,
00:44:40it's stubbornness.
00:44:41I mean,
00:44:42it's exceedingly
00:44:44difficult
00:44:44to get you
00:44:45to do anything
00:44:46you don't want
00:44:47to do.
00:44:48William,
00:44:50William is the same.
00:44:55My late wife,
00:44:56Isabel,
00:44:57told me that
00:44:58William was lost
00:44:59once on his
00:44:59estate in Hellwater.
00:45:02He was, um,
00:45:04three or so.
00:45:06is wandering
00:45:07alone
00:45:08in a fog
00:45:09on the fells.
00:45:13Sometimes I see that.
00:45:16Sometimes
00:45:23other things.
00:45:26You see those things
00:45:27when you're a parent.
00:45:31Yes.
00:45:36I can't make
00:45:37any promises,
00:45:41but I will see
00:45:41what I can do.
00:45:48Thank you,
00:45:48my dad.
00:45:53I can't do.
00:45:56I can't do it.
00:45:58viele
00:45:59Ah!
00:46:01Ah!
00:46:02Ah!
00:46:06Ah!
00:46:07Ah!
00:46:07Ah!
00:46:13Ah!
00:46:15Ah!
00:46:17Ah!
00:46:17Ah!
00:46:24Jem and Mandy were a delight.
00:46:26Rodney and wee Claire can't wait for their next...
00:46:29What do they call it? A sleepover?
00:46:33Well, I'm glad they weren't a nuisance.
00:46:36Never.
00:46:37Every child's a miracle.
00:46:42You're right, Rachel.
00:46:44Yes.
00:46:45He is right, of course, Lizzie. Every child is a miracle.
00:46:49Though in Oggy's case, the miracle is how long he can scream without drawing breath.
00:46:52Sometimes he sounds just like a catamount.
00:46:55We've all been there.
00:46:56Mandy, look! Granda! Granda!
00:47:01Come on! Come on, they're coming! Quick, quick, quick!
00:47:05They're certainly happy to see their granda.
00:47:09Who's that with them?
00:47:10I have no idea.
00:47:16Buck!
00:47:20Children! Come here!
00:47:24Come here, how are you?
00:47:27Paddy, look, it's retossin'!
00:47:28Buck, it's Buck!
00:47:30Sarsenach, may I introduce to you William Buckley Mackenzie?
00:47:34Your freezer.
00:47:35Your reputation precedes you.
00:47:37As does yours.
00:47:39You must have had a very long journey indeed.
00:47:42Longer than I can help you explain.
00:47:45I've told him he's welcome to stay on the ridge as long as he likes.
00:47:48Of course.
00:47:48Your family.
00:47:50Come along.
00:47:51Come inside.
00:47:52I'm sure you both must be starving.
00:47:55Aye.
00:47:56You don't happen to have any of those, uh, peanut butter sandwiches, do you?
00:48:10What's troubling you, McCree?
00:48:13There was a massacre.
00:48:15Up north.
00:48:18The Mohawk leader, Joseph Brandt, and a loyalist captain led a raid on a rebel town.
00:48:25Ken Joseph Brandt?
00:48:28The Continentals retaliated by sending an army after him.
00:48:39Patriot army hushed along the Susquehanna River, raising three Indian village confined.
00:48:48Forty villages were left in flames, and countless scalps were...
00:48:54Oh, Christ.
00:48:56Is that not where Shadow Lake lies?
00:48:59Where thy former wife?
00:49:02My own, are we?
00:49:05Thy.
00:49:07And thy son?
00:49:09The Yorgasne Dodis.
00:49:12Surf the sublisums.
00:49:16Rachel.
00:49:21You must go north.
00:49:25I need to know what happened to them.
00:49:30Of course you must go.
00:49:33Okay.
00:49:36The doggy and I will come with thee.
00:49:49I'm going to miss this little catamount.
00:49:53You're going to be so much bigger by the time you return.
00:49:59Is it really nothing I can say to convince you and Obby to stay?
00:50:02I thank thee, Claire, but no.
00:50:05Thee let thy husband travel alone 700 miles to rescue his first wife.
00:50:09You make a good point.
00:50:18I pray that we find Emily and her children safe.
00:50:22But when he sees them, I want to be by his side.
00:50:27So he doesn't forget the life he has here.
00:50:33Does that make me wicked?
00:50:36No, Rachel.
00:50:40That makes you human.
00:50:45Here.
00:50:53Come.
00:50:56Rachel says you mean to stop in Philadelphia so she can go to a proper meeting.
00:51:01Aye, she's missed it.
00:51:04I'd like you to go to the brothel there.
00:51:06The one Francis left with her sister.
00:51:08Speak with some of the lasses.
00:51:11A brothel?
00:51:14It's not enough I'm going to find my first wife.
00:51:16It's to do with Francis.
00:51:19Ask him about Jane.
00:51:20Anything she said about her family.
00:51:23We'd like Francis to get more about them.
00:51:27I'll find out what I can.
00:51:47I must say one more thing to you before you go.
00:51:55You ken the book Brianna brought back.
00:51:58The one written by her other father.
00:52:03Aye, she told me.
00:52:05Frank Randall.
00:52:08It's about Scots in America.
00:52:12About what they, what we will do in the revolution.
00:52:19There's mention of a battle in the backcountry at a place called King's Mountain.
00:52:24I've heard of this place.
00:52:26Frank says I fight in it.
00:52:29When will it happen?
00:52:31October next.
00:52:33So he says.
00:52:35Claire thinks he's bending the truth.
00:52:37But I'm more and more convinced he's not.
00:52:49I'll be there with you, Uncle.
00:52:51There'll be time enough for me to do whatever needs to be done in the North and make it home.
00:52:57Aye.
00:52:58Don't have a hash.
00:53:00But I may be gone.
00:53:03But I'll guard you left in his dead.
00:53:08Thank you, lad.
00:53:29May you be safe on your journey.
00:53:37Say he's alive.
00:53:39Bye.
00:53:42Bye.
00:53:45Bye.
00:53:46Bye.
00:53:47Yamchor, Ambochil Isa, Magin Sulchaz.
00:53:53Alabini al Shear, Yamor, Ambochil Isa, Magin Sulchaz.
00:54:18Who's a be with you, please?
00:54:19I may.
00:54:30Good afternoon, Colonel Marion.
00:54:33I'm Reverend Roger McKenzie.
00:54:35I apologize for interrupting you, but...
00:54:38You're a difficult man to find, and my request is urgent.
00:54:42You're a volunteer?
00:54:43The Continental Army isn't choosy.
00:54:45Though I have to say, the occasional minister we do get
00:54:48doesn't usually wear his best clothes to fight in.
00:54:52No, sir.
00:54:54I've come to request your assistance.
00:54:59My father-in-law owns 10,000 acres in North Carolina.
00:55:03A British major named Patrick Ferguson
00:55:06has been stirring up trouble in the backcountry,
00:55:07raising loyalist militias.
00:55:09And as we are patriots,
00:55:11we've decided to assemble a militia of our own.
00:55:14Well, we need weapons.
00:55:16I believe you've helped arm others like this before.
00:55:19Mm-hmm.
00:55:21I can pay you.
00:55:23I think we could possibly reach an agreement.
00:55:28Ah, well...
00:55:29I have a letter from my father-in-law with the particulars.
00:55:39Your father-in-law is General James Fraser?
00:55:43Aye.
00:55:44A fellow who abandoned his troops at Monmouth to tend his wife.
00:55:49Aye.
00:55:52James Fraser is an honorable man, sir.
00:55:55And a very brave soldier.
00:55:57The battle was already won when his wife was shot.
00:56:00Is it true?
00:56:00He signed his letter of resignation
00:56:02on the back of a corporal in mud.
00:56:05Actually, he wrote it in his wife's blood.
00:56:07But aye.
00:56:09He didn't have a choice.
00:56:12She was wounded when General Lee ordered him to leave our side, which...
00:56:15I'm sure the circumstances were quite extraordinary.
00:56:17The fact remains that if it had not been for Lee's trial,
00:56:20and Lafayette's good word,
00:56:21Fraser would have been court-martialed after Monmouth,
00:56:23perhaps even hanged.
00:56:25Sir, our people are in danger.
00:56:27Look, our circumstances here are quite dire as well.
00:56:30We have precious few resources,
00:56:33even with the assistance of our new French allies.
00:56:35I can't afford to give what I do have
00:56:37to someone who's already lost the Continental Army's trust.
00:56:41Surely has years of service and sacrifice to the cause...
00:56:44My answer is no, Reverend Mackenzie, and it's fine.
00:56:52Then I'll take my leave, sir.
00:56:54That's not possible, I'm afraid.
00:56:56I beg your pardon?
00:56:57We assault the city in a few days' time.
00:57:00General Lincoln has ordered centuries to detain anyone leaving camp
00:57:03in an effort to prevent the deserters from warning the British.
00:57:07You can't leave.
00:57:08I've come to ask for your help in fighting the British.
00:57:11Surely you don't think that I'm going to leave here and assist them?
00:57:14I have my orders, Reverend Mackenzie.
00:57:17Sir, my wife is in the city.
00:57:20I promised I'd return.
00:57:24Every man here has made such a promise to his wife, his mother, his son.
00:57:30Many will not live to honor them.
00:57:33You might.
00:57:35I can find a safe place for you to wait out the battle.
00:57:37Unless you want to fight, I can give you a good rifle.
00:57:42No.
00:57:44No.
00:57:47Stay here and wait, then.
00:57:49Things go wrong.
00:57:51You can help bury us.
00:57:58Sir, wait.
00:58:05No, I'm not good with a rifle.
00:58:10But if you can give me a sword, I'll fight with you.
00:58:37Take care.
00:58:38Close.
00:58:57Ouch.
00:58:58Sting to the
00:59:19ORGAN PLAYS
00:59:39ORGAN PLAYS
00:59:59Aye, he's coming for you.
01:00:04I'm afraid the battle has begun.
01:00:07There's only one way I can see to stop it.
01:00:10Your husband is a pardon traitor.
01:00:12He has earned his execution.
01:00:15Don't go.
01:00:15We have a plan.
01:00:17Plans fail.
01:00:20I think I will be an evil knight.
