00:00:23You
00:00:51You
00:01:08You
00:01:32Are you ready?
00:01:34As we commit Lord Kilmartin's earthly remains to their final resting place, we are reminded of the transient nature of
00:01:41life and the fragile beauty of human existence.
00:01:45May his spirit find everlasting peace in the heavenly kingdom.
00:01:58My elder brother Anthony, he would usually be the one to speak in times like this, so I apologize in
00:02:03advance.
00:02:06Standing before you, I know I'm supposed to say something profound, but to be honest I am rather at a
00:02:14loss.
00:02:16This is an unfathomable tragedy.
00:02:19For Lord Kilmartin's family, for my sister Francesca, for my family, for all of us.
00:02:28What makes his death so difficult to bear is not just its suddenness, but the fact he was a good
00:02:36man, one of the best of us.
00:02:40Always guided by an unshakable sense of integrity.
00:02:46His devotion to his family, to his seat in parliament, and most especially to my sister Francesca.
00:02:53It was unwavering.
00:02:57There's nothing I can say to make sense of this loss, or to fill the void we're all feeling.
00:03:06All I can offer is this.
00:03:09We will cherish our memory of John, and be forever grateful to have known such an exceptional human being.
00:03:45You did well.
00:03:47Would you like a moment alone?
00:03:49It's not necessary.
00:03:50There is far too much to oversee at home.
00:03:52The servants will have everything set up.
00:03:54You might wish to spend a last moment here.
00:03:56I would like to see that all is in order.
00:03:59I will meet you at the carriage.
00:04:23You could be veiled by a common headache.
00:04:25Very, very shocking.
00:04:27King.
00:04:30Indeed.
00:04:32Thank you both for coming.
00:04:35Is this all not rather morbid?
00:04:39It is a funeral.
00:04:41It is not morbid, it is proper.
00:04:44Because heaven forbid death be anything but orderly.
00:04:48Lady Danbury.
00:04:50Francesca.
00:04:52Lord Kilmartin was a fine man.
00:04:55I liked him very much.
00:04:58Yes.
00:04:59I did as well.
00:05:02Obviously.
00:05:03Please do enjoy the refreshments.
00:05:06My condolences to you.
00:05:08And to you.
00:05:12These arrived from Anthony and Kate, dear.
00:05:18Some of my children feel devastated they are unable to attend.
00:05:22Much of our family also could not travel down from Scotland in time.
00:05:25I am most relieved that I was already in London.
00:05:28And most appreciated that you volunteered to host the reception today.
00:05:35I would have hosted at Kilmartin House, but I thought the servants here might be better equipped.
00:05:39There is no need to explain.
00:05:41I could not imagine hosting when my husband died.
00:05:44It was my honour.
00:05:45Your son was the cherished part of this family.
00:05:48He adored your Francesca.
00:05:50I will never forget when he came home.
00:05:53The night being made.
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:54Stars in his eyes.
00:05:56Oh no.
00:05:57Is this too overwhelming?
00:05:58No, I...
00:06:00You're running out of biscuits.
00:06:02That's all.
00:06:02Biscuits?
00:06:03The guests will expect them.
00:06:04The guests will expect them.
00:06:04Please excuse me.
00:06:11For you?
00:06:14You've been so attentive to Francesca.
00:06:16I thought I might tend to you.
00:06:19This is very kind of you.
00:06:27Is this what Papa's funeral was like?
00:06:30I was not born.
00:06:31The rest of you got to be there.
00:06:33You were there.
00:06:34You were in Mama's belly.
00:06:37Biscuit?
00:06:45Francesca, surely your servant will help with those?
00:06:48Please, allow me.
00:06:49Thank you, but I am quite capable.
00:06:58Let us all have a biscuit, shall we?
00:07:00Do you know what are in these?
00:07:02I have always wondered.
00:07:05No.
00:07:07A treacle.
00:07:08I imagine.
00:07:10What else do you think?
00:07:11I taste vanilla.
00:07:12Something spicy.
00:07:14Ginger, maybe?
00:07:16Flour.
00:07:16Probably a little salt.
00:07:18And perhaps...
00:07:19Mr Bridgerton.
00:07:26Ladies.
00:07:28Our deepest condomences.
00:07:30Thank you for being here.
00:07:31Are you truly all right, sister?
00:07:32I'm so sorry.
00:07:33Chrysanth, please.
00:07:34I can't believe he is gone.
00:07:42Lady Kilmartin?
00:07:44Your hair, it is coming undone.
00:07:47Perhaps we might go upstairs and I can attend to it for you.
00:08:14Thank you for giving me some respite.
00:08:18I am simply doing my job.
00:08:19My lady.
00:08:20If only I were doing mine.
00:08:23I think you were doing admirably.
00:08:28At my father's funeral there was a very large tray of pickled salmon.
00:08:33All I could do was think how my father detested pickled salmon.
00:08:36When I wanted to throw the tray and scream.
00:08:39And did you?
00:08:44I came close.
00:08:47But I realised we all know different versions of the same person.
00:08:51Perhaps someone thought he loved pickled salmon.
00:08:54The best any of us can do is honour the memories of those we have loved.
00:08:59And let them live on through us.
00:09:01How does one do that?
00:09:04Well, I always try to think logically like my father.
00:09:08And for my mother, I wear her necklace.
00:09:14I must have forgotten it today.
00:09:22Thank you for your help.
00:09:26I had better return or my mother will fear I have fled.
00:09:31If you need more respite, simply give me a nod and I will slip some brandy in your drink.
00:09:50Not even an invitation to funeral from the Bridgertons.
00:09:54The reputation for warmth is undeserved.
00:09:57At least Rosamond has a new suitor.
00:09:59And one of rather high rank even.
00:10:02We are fortunate in Lord Stotter's interest.
00:10:04You don't know how distraught your sister has been after failing to capture Mr Bridgerton's affection.
00:10:09She had her heart set on that match.
00:10:12Perhaps it is for the best.
00:10:13She and Mr Bridgerton may not have been well suited.
00:10:16Rosamond is well suited to anyone.
00:10:18She could charm a statue.
00:10:20If it were not for Sophie's interference.
00:10:22Sophie?
00:10:26Is that why we went looking for Sophie at Bridgerton House the other week?
00:10:30Because you suspect she has formed an attachment to Mr Bridgerton?
00:10:33It would not be the first time she interfered in our lives.
00:10:39Do you know where Sophie's working, Posey?
00:10:43No.
00:10:44I hardly know how to stitch my embroidery in the right direction.
00:10:47Let alone keep track of Sophie's whereabouts.
00:10:52Very well.
00:10:54I will have to find her myself then.
00:10:57And you enjoy dancing?
00:10:58The cotillion is my favourite dance.
00:11:00My governess said I was excelling at all forms.
00:11:03I prefer a waltz.
00:11:04I do prefer a waltz.
00:11:22What are you doing out here? It's very cold.
00:11:25Uh, I nearly wanted to feel something.
00:11:28Other than despair.
00:11:30So, I chose to feel cold.
00:11:33Is it helping?
00:11:34Not particularly.
00:11:37They are in need of more mint for the refreshments.
00:11:40I shall leave you be shortly.
00:11:44It was kind of you to stay for the funeral.
00:11:47You've been a great comfort.
00:11:50To Eloise and Hyacinth.
00:11:56As have you.
00:11:58They are very fortunate to have you, you know.
00:12:06I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:12:11It's all right, Sophie.
00:12:13You are not required to give me comfort.
00:12:14I know that.
00:12:16I know it is not a condition of my employment, but...
00:12:19My heart is breaking for you.
00:12:24For all of you.
00:12:31Who are still planning on leaving?
00:12:34At the end of the week.
00:12:37After the family has had some time.
00:12:39Yes, of course.
00:12:40As you should.
00:12:44I wish you luck, Sophie.
00:12:49Please go inside.
00:12:50I cannot send you off to your new position with influenza.
00:12:58I can stay a moment if you...
00:13:00No.
00:13:02Forgive me.
00:13:06I'm trying desperately to be strong for my family, for Francesca, on this dreadful day.
00:13:14And if you stay, I am afraid I will not be able to hold it together.
00:13:20I understand.
00:13:31I do not see you again.
00:13:36Goodbye, Mr Bridgerton.
00:13:41Goodbye, Sophie.
00:13:43Goodbye, Sophie.
00:14:10My entire life I have found comfort in silence.
00:14:14Presumably because I never found any growing up amongst all my siblings.
00:14:21But now...
00:14:25Now, I should be grateful if you might feel it.
00:14:28I dare say this is the longest I have ever seen you go without talking.
00:14:33I am merely enjoying the peace of not having to listen to one more stranger apologize for my loss.
00:14:40Everyone is simply trying to be respectful.
00:14:42Yes.
00:14:44I realise it is proper here to speak in euphemisms and act as if we are statues in the face
00:14:51of death.
00:14:55You know, in Scotland, a life lost is celebrated instead of mourned.
00:15:04Everyone eats, drinks, tells stories of the dead, cries and... laughs.
00:15:12Perhaps...
00:15:13Is that not a little...
00:15:16indulgent?
00:15:17In fact, it can be rather cathartic.
00:15:21Joyful, even.
00:15:24Perhaps we could still have a celebration for a smaller group here, at Kilmartin House.
00:15:29I am sorry if you found the funeral lacking.
00:15:32You did a splendid job, Francesca.
00:15:37I was merely suggesting a celebration so that John might be remembered not for his death but for his life.
00:15:43I knew John better than I know myself and I truly believe he would not want to be the cause
00:15:48of tears or sorrow.
00:15:49He was a Scotsman.
00:15:51He would not want to be mourned by strangers.
00:15:53He would want his life rejoiced at by family, friends, his wife.
00:15:57He would want for us to get up and dance and...
00:15:59John does not want anything.
00:16:02He is dead.
00:16:03Gone.
00:16:04And turning his funeral into a circus will not change that.
00:16:28It meant a great deal having you at the funeral.
00:16:32I do not know what we will do without you, Agatha.
00:16:34I am not leaving for another two weeks.
00:16:37So there are plenty of goodbyes still to say.
00:16:40And I will not be gone forever.
00:16:42I am happy for you.
00:16:44I think I am still in disbelief that the Queen granted me leave to go.
00:16:50I hear you are making a life change of your own with my brother.
00:16:56You know?
00:16:57I do not believe he told anyone else.
00:17:00He would have been a fool not to ask.
00:17:03I am delighted for you both.
00:17:09Only I am...
00:17:12Violet.
00:17:13Hmm.
00:17:15Is everything all right?
00:17:17Yes. Yes, of course.
00:17:19I, uh...
00:17:21I simply feel that in the wake of John's passing...
00:17:24Your mind is on Francesca.
00:17:26Indeed.
00:17:28I am rather concerned that she is not allowing herself to grieve.
00:17:34Give her time.
00:17:37We both know it is a winding and illogical road to mourn a lost love.
00:17:44She is not in her right mind.
00:17:58Are you all right, Sophie?
00:17:59You look as though you did not sleep awake.
00:18:00I lost my necklace.
00:18:02I spent half the night searching for it.
00:18:04What does it look like?
00:18:05It is a silver chain with an amethyst pendant.
00:18:07Do you know when you last saw it?
00:18:09I have no idea.
00:18:10I hardly notice when I am wearing it as I so rarely take it off.
00:18:14Deliveries are here.
00:18:16Make haste.
00:18:17I will look out for it, Sophie.
00:18:20Perhaps this is the heavens telling you that you should not leave us for Penwood House.
00:18:24No, it is merely telling me that I have been unforgivably careless.
00:18:28I have been so caught up.
00:18:30I lost the only piece of my mother I ever had.
00:18:32We will find it.
00:18:42Will Michaela be joining us?
00:18:47I do not believe so.
00:18:48We are giving each other space.
00:18:51Which suits me quite well as I am rather busy with my correspondence to John's relatives.
00:18:56Surely you do not need to write to all of them now.
00:18:58People deserve to know.
00:19:00Writing certainly can be cathartic.
00:19:02Sometimes when I am feeling lost I find that writing steadies me.
00:19:06I am steady.
00:19:15Francesca, you do not need to be.
00:19:17You are amongst family if you would like to throw something or scream.
00:19:22Heloise, please, that is not how I wish to proceed.
00:19:24I should like to stay calm.
00:19:26But you need not.
00:19:27Yes, I do.
00:19:33I am with child.
00:19:37My courses were supposed to arrive days ago but they never came.
00:19:41Well, that is splendid news.
00:19:45John has left me with a gift, a piece of himself, just as father left mother with hyacinth.
00:19:50So, if I must remain calm for the sake of our child and the future of the Kilmartin line, so
00:19:55be it.
00:19:56It is a worthy cause.
00:20:00I am delighted for you, sister.
00:20:05But let us just keep this between ourselves for now until I speak to the men from the House of
00:20:10Lords.
00:20:10Of course.
00:20:17How is Lady Kilmartin faring?
00:20:20She is faring as best she can, I imagine.
00:20:23Hmm.
00:20:24It is quite a cruel twist of fate to lose one's husband at such a tender age.
00:20:30I imagine it cruel to lose one's husband at any age.
00:20:33And yet, for some of us, a release.
00:20:38Hmm.
00:20:39What was she wearing at the funeral, Lady Kilmartin?
00:20:43If one must endure, I do hope she at least was enduring in a marvellous ensemble.
00:20:50She looked quite elegant.
00:20:53Hmm.
00:20:54These bonbons do not taste the same.
00:20:58It is a shame when a good thing changes.
00:21:01You know, Charlotte, there is a fortnight yet before I leave.
00:21:06Yes, I know.
00:21:07I should like the bonbons from Switzerland instead.
00:21:11Perhaps I should arrange for some new exotic animal to be imported for the grounds.
00:21:18I will write, Charlotte.
00:21:24I am sad, Agatha.
00:21:27It is a sad time.
00:21:30Yes.
00:21:31Goodbyes are never easy.
00:21:33Particularly as I have just bid farewell to Whistledown.
00:21:39She would have written something profound about Lord Kilmartin's passing.
00:21:44Not to mention a detailed report of the funereal fashions beyond elegant.
00:21:51Hmm.
00:21:52It would have been something to look forward to.
00:21:55I miss her.
00:21:59Mrs. Mondridge.
00:22:00I should like to hold mercury now.
00:22:05Your Majesty.
00:22:09Oh!
00:22:10She is quite excitable.
00:22:14Hmm.
00:22:14Perhaps the bitch needs some water to cool down.
00:22:30There you are.
00:22:32Here I am.
00:22:34I hope I am not interrupting.
00:22:36I have just sent word to the House of Lords to arrange their visit with Francesca concerning the Kilmartin estate.
00:22:43I will attend as well, of course.
00:22:45Well, for all you have done in Anthony's absence.
00:22:52Are you alright?
00:22:53It's not me you should be worrying about.
00:22:56We are most fortunate that Sophie remained to help.
00:22:58I do hope she will be content.
00:22:59Please do not bring her up.
00:23:00I know.
00:23:01I know.
00:23:01It has been a difficult week.
00:23:02Not today.
00:23:03Please.
00:23:06It is all a tad hypocritical, do you not think?
00:23:10What is hypocritical?
00:23:11You.
00:23:13You spent our entire lives claiming the one thing that matters is marrying a love match.
00:23:18For years I did not understand it, nor want it.
00:23:21In fact, I ran from it.
00:23:22And now.
00:23:25Now I have found someone I love.
00:23:27More than I could even have thought possible.
00:23:29Someone captivating and maddening and real just as you wanted.
00:23:33Just as Daphne and Anthony and Colin and Francesca.
00:23:36You love her.
00:23:37It does not signify, does it?
00:23:38She is not of the right class, so I cannot be with her.
00:23:41Not truly.
00:23:41I must let her go as if she means nothing.
00:23:44Tell me, is that what you would have done had father been of the lower classes?
00:23:48Tossed your lover side to search for someone of proper breeding.
00:23:53Forgive me.
00:23:59Where is it?
00:24:09Are you looking for something?
00:24:12No.
00:24:13Lady Bridgerton, I simply noticed some dust.
00:24:17Pardon me.
00:24:21I wanted to thank you for staying on to help with the funeral.
00:24:24Oh, it is the least I could do.
00:24:27I do regret that I am leaving at such a difficult time.
00:24:30Well, you must do what is best for you.
00:24:37Sophie?
00:24:41Is it because of Benedict that you feel you must depart?
00:24:47Why did you not dismiss me?
00:24:49Well, perhaps I should have done, but I like you.
00:24:52You are the sort of woman I would like for my son.
00:24:55If I were not a maid.
00:24:59You must know it is not Mr. Bridgerton's fault.
00:25:02Your son is a good man.
00:25:04I...
00:25:05I knew better.
00:25:07Sophie?
00:25:09If there is perhaps something about your history that you have not shared.
00:25:14Your accent, your education, your proclivity for languages.
00:25:18Perhaps if there is something that you are running from.
00:25:21You are a woman.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28I am a maid.
00:25:30I am not a suitable match for your son.
00:25:36I wish the world were different.
00:25:47Leave me alone, Gregory.
00:25:49It's all well.
00:25:50Get out!
00:25:51I tried talking sense into Hyacinth, but she is highly unreasonable.
00:25:55Mother should have stopped at seven.
00:26:03What is going on in here?
00:26:04I am simply ridding myself of things I should not need,
00:26:08as I have decided to delay my debut.
00:26:10Or perhaps not to make my debut at all.
00:26:12God.
00:26:13Same curtains, same ceiling, yet surely I am in a foreign land.
00:26:16What is the point of finding love when your husband will probably die?
00:26:23Ah.
00:26:24So this is about John?
00:26:27It's only John.
00:26:29Father.
00:26:30Even Lord Featherington. All gone.
00:26:32I have been taken up with foolish fantasies.
00:26:35When all love truly brings is hardship and sorrow.
00:26:40I suppose it is...
00:26:42difficult.
00:26:43Well, I for one want no part of it.
00:26:46I have finally seen the wisdom in what you have been telling me.
00:26:49You were right all along, sister.
00:27:05How is Francesca?
00:27:07Oh, what she is going through, I would not wish on anyone.
00:27:12Shall we?
00:27:17Losing someone unexpectedly, it is as if your very breath is ripped from you.
00:27:22Your entire reality has shifted within the blink of an eye.
00:27:26It is natural you must be thinking of Edmund.
00:27:29Yes, I am.
00:27:30I think about Nessa every day.
00:27:35Anything you need.
00:27:37I am here for you.
00:27:43There is one thing I must request.
00:27:48I was wondering if we might keep our betrothal to ourselves for a while.
00:27:52Only because I do not want our happy news to overshadow.
00:27:56Say no more.
00:27:57I have told only my sister.
00:27:59Otherwise, we shall wait.
00:28:18Alfie, what are you doing here?
00:28:20Looking for you.
00:28:21You are so eager to see me that you cannot wait until my return to Penwood House.
00:28:24I am flattered.
00:28:25That is why I have been trying to find you.
00:28:27I gave the new lady Penwood your note about delaying your style till after the funeral, but she would not
00:28:33wait.
00:28:34She hired someone else.
00:28:36I'm sorry.
00:28:36What?
00:28:38No, I have already given my notice to Lady Bridgerton.
00:28:42Surely she will not mind if you stay on a little longer.
00:28:44I cannot.
00:28:45Seeing Mr Bridgerton, it is torture, Alfie.
00:28:48I only want to come home to you.
00:28:50Irma Rumsey, it is all my want.
00:28:51I know, we all wanted that, but we will find you another position.
00:28:55There are so few just now.
00:28:56Well, I've heard of one opening for a housemaid on Bruton Street.
00:28:59That is far too close to Bridgerton House.
00:29:01Perhaps I should return to the country.
00:29:05I have heard of one other position.
00:29:07A family in Mayfair is in need of a lady's maid to help them move.
00:29:11Their servants speak very highly of them.
00:29:13I can do that.
00:29:15You know I am skilled at...
00:29:16They are moving to the Americas.
00:29:19You would need to be on a ship in three days.
00:29:29Next week...
00:29:29Yes.
00:29:29Ah.
00:29:42Because...
00:29:42There.
00:29:42Good day.
00:29:43Good day.
00:29:44My condolences for your loss and apologies for the timing of this visit, Lady Kilmartin.
00:29:50It's procedure.
00:29:51Quite right.
00:29:52Despite the circumstances, it is of the utmost importance the lines of succession are followed to the letter.
00:29:58Your brother has been a tremendous help with the paperwork.
00:30:01I'll be speaking with the Sterling family next.
00:30:04But of course there is one question I must ask you first, as a formality really.
00:30:08I am with child.
00:30:13Sister, that is wonderful news.
00:30:18Indeed.
00:30:20Well then, I shall alert the physician for an examination at once.
00:30:25Examination?
00:30:26Well, yes, we must have confirmation.
00:30:28Can you not simply take her word for it?
00:30:31Of course, Lady Kilmartin, your word is of great value.
00:30:33It is only that the crown has grown quite stringent.
00:30:35When it comes to succession, there is an estate and title at stake,
00:30:39not to mention a seat in Parliament.
00:30:41I do not wish to have an examination.
00:30:43My sister has been through a great loss, Mr. Dundas.
00:30:46Any examination will have to wait.
00:30:47Believe me, I sympathise.
00:30:48But this is the way society demands things be done.
00:30:51I've had quite enough of the demands of society and its utterly antiquated way of doing things.
00:30:57This is an honourable family.
00:30:59You have no idea of the sacrifices we have made to maintain that honour.
00:31:03I will not stand here and let you pressure my sister after the nightmare she's been through.
00:31:10I assure you, Lady Kilmartin, it will be swift and dignified.
00:31:14And then we can all take comfort in knowing for certain.
00:31:18Oh, wait...
00:31:46No...當然
00:31:56Let's go.
00:32:22Forgive me, I heard a noise.
00:32:24I do not mean to startle you.
00:32:27I have been tasked with organising John's affairs and I've misplaced a document.
00:32:32You need not explain.
00:32:35Please, I will do it.
00:32:39It's been a hell of a week.
00:32:42I know.
00:32:45Every time I see you, I'm conscious it may be the last.
00:32:49I hated how we said goodbye at the funeral.
00:32:55I know.
00:33:03I know.
00:33:07I know.
00:33:10I know.
00:33:36I know.
00:33:38I know.
00:33:41I know.
00:33:47I know.
00:33:47I know.
00:34:11I know.
00:34:27I know.
00:34:33I know.
00:34:36I know.
00:34:45I know.
00:34:53I know.
00:34:58I know.
00:35:14I know.
00:35:16I know.
00:35:23I know.
00:35:38I know.
00:35:45I know.
00:35:45I know.
00:35:46I know.
00:35:47I know.
00:35:49I know.
00:35:51I know.
00:36:05I know.
00:36:20I know.
00:36:23I know.
00:36:24I know.
00:36:37I know.
00:36:41I know.
00:36:42I know.
00:36:42I know.
00:36:42I know.
00:36:44I know.
00:36:45I know.
00:36:45I know.
00:36:46I know.
00:36:47I know.
00:36:51I know.
00:36:52I know.
00:36:53I know.
00:37:13Mr. Wilson told me you were still here.
00:37:16Mother.
00:37:19I was just about to take my leave
00:37:23Shall I pour you a drink?
00:37:25A strong one perhaps
00:37:47I owe you an apology
00:37:49You know, I have been thinking about your father quite a lot
00:37:53Of course
00:37:53That you were also very unlucky to lose him when you did
00:37:57You were so young
00:37:59But for me, in many ways, I was lucky
00:38:07I had a great love for a very long time
00:38:13Some people never get that
00:38:21After everything that has transpired
00:38:24I have found myself reflecting quite a lot
00:38:29About love
00:38:30About time not always being on our side
00:38:35I did not realise how strongly you felt about Sophie
00:38:38I assumed it was a flirtation, a dalliance
00:38:42I never imagined it
00:38:43I should never have allowed it to go that far
00:38:44Starting a life with someone from another class is no easy feat
00:38:48You would have to move to the country
00:38:50Yes, we had discussed such plans
00:38:54I would have gone back and forth
00:38:55No, no, there would be no going back and forth
00:38:58You would be ostracised by society, both of you
00:39:01You would have to move there permanently
00:39:04I imagine that would be a rather startling transition
00:39:07For someone who has lived a life as well-liked and privileged as you
00:39:12It is important that you understand
00:39:15Because there is one crucial sacrifice you will have to make
00:39:22Your family
00:39:24And that is not to say that we shall not speak
00:39:26But it will mostly be confined to letters
00:39:30We will not be able to visit as often as we might like
00:39:34As it could impact your sister's prospects for marriage
00:39:37If we are believed to nurture a close relationship
00:39:40So you will miss birthdays and weddings and...
00:39:44Stop it, please
00:39:45There is truly no need for this
00:39:48Sophie does not want to be with me
00:39:50Oh, I very much doubt that is the case if you ask her to marry him
00:39:57How strong did I pour that drink?
00:39:59What you said...
00:40:02Was correct
00:40:03All I have ever wanted for my children was to find love
00:40:06So if you have found it
00:40:08You deserve to go after it before it is too late
00:40:12If you marry Sophie
00:40:14It will never change how much I love you, Benedict
00:40:21And with that said
00:40:24I know my son
00:40:25I know, I know my son
00:40:26I know that at times you can be
00:40:31Oh, dare I say it
00:40:33Non-committal
00:40:34Oh, no, you must have me mistaken for one of your other children
00:40:47Promise me you will think very carefully before making a decision
00:40:51And whatever you choose
00:40:54You must live with it forever
00:40:58We all will
00:40:59And there is a round of work
00:41:28I know my son
00:41:33We shall find you a dress that cannot be ignored.
00:41:37Lord Stotter will have no choice but to propose.
00:41:43I did not realise I was a jester.
00:41:46Apologies, Mama.
00:41:48It is only the thought of a mere dress so bewitching that a gentleman loses his free will.
00:41:54Must be quite the magical dress indeed.
00:41:56It will be when I wear it.
00:41:58I look forward to seeing it.
00:41:59In fact, I think it wise you stay behind today.
00:42:03Your sister and I will have a lengthy appointment at the Modiste.
00:42:06And then we may speak to the magistrate afterwards to see if he has heard any word of Sophie.
00:42:11Or my shoe clips being pawned.
00:42:13I am certain you will enjoy some time here.
00:42:18Undisturbed?
00:42:32Well, I should be leaving now to check on the household orders.
00:42:36Um, shall I get you anything while I am out?
00:42:39No.
00:42:41Thank you, Vali.
00:42:42I should like to take the afternoon to read.
00:42:45Hmm.
00:42:45In private.
00:42:49In private.
00:42:50In private.
00:43:23Miss Posey, shall I have some tea prepared for you?
00:43:41Posey, what are you doing here?
00:43:43Sophie!
00:43:47I escaped out the drawing room window.
00:43:50I did not want to risk the servant's seeing.
00:43:52Then when I arrived, I told that handsome footman that I misplaced my glove when we came for tea.
00:43:56And as he went to look, I ran up here.
00:43:58I assumed your room would be up in the attic like most ladies' maids.
00:44:00Though I had to check in three different rooms before I found yours.
00:44:03And thank goodness no one else was up here.
00:44:05I do not believe I have ever felt so exhilarated in my...
00:44:09I am rambling and I do not have time.
00:44:12I came to warn you that we have moved in next door.
00:44:14And my mama is intent on finding you.
00:44:16She does not know you live here now, as I have covered for you.
00:44:19But she means to have you arrested for the shoe clips.
00:44:26And she will surely find me if I stay in Mayfair, even if I leave Bridgerton House.
00:44:32I am so sorry, Sophie.
00:44:33The shoe clips are my fault.
00:44:36It was very brave of you to come, thank you.
00:44:38But you must get back.
00:44:42I wish I had said this to you before, but the things she has always said about you, about your
00:44:48mother, they are cruel and untrue.
00:44:53That is kind of you to say.
00:44:54I would not have survived in that house without you.
00:44:57You were always so kind and courageous.
00:45:01You have the strongest will of anyone I have ever known.
00:45:05Perhaps you get that from your mother.
00:45:12There is a job in the Americas.
00:45:14It will keep me safe from your mother.
00:45:16I will be on a ship in two days and with any luck, she and I shall never see each
00:45:20other again.
00:45:23I will miss you.
00:45:29Do not let her get the better of you.
00:45:31You have a strong will of your own.
00:45:34Now go.
00:45:54Are you going to play something?
00:45:59Benedict, I did not realise you were here.
00:46:04I wanted to see how you are.
00:46:09You have already taken on more than enough by tending to the estate.
00:46:15I should have compelled Mr. Dunnors to delay the examination.
00:46:19I am sorry.
00:46:21I could not do more.
00:46:22It would not have changed the outcome.
00:46:27John wished for a child and I could not give him one.
00:46:44You are rather good.
00:46:45That is all I know.
00:46:48When you were very young, I would play this to make you laugh.
00:46:52I hoped it might still work.
00:46:56You should have pursued piano for a day.
00:47:01One of many things.
00:47:04You do not give yourself enough credit, Benedict.
00:47:07Nor do you.
00:47:12John may have wanted a child, but above all else, he wanted you.
00:47:19It was plain as day to anyone around you how much joy you brought him.
00:47:26You lit up his entire world.
00:47:34Trust me, it was almost insufferable for the rest of us.
00:47:37Absolutely.
00:47:43To
00:47:47you
00:47:48you
00:48:10I thought doing things the proper way made it the correct way.
00:48:20I thought if I acted as though I was fine I would be, but I am exhausted, I should like
00:48:28to feel some joy. I want to celebrate Don's life. Will you help me?
00:48:40What do you mean you lost her?
00:48:42Well, she must have climbed out of the window, Mum. I mean, how was I to know the girl possessed
00:48:47such agility? You were supposed to follow her to see if she would lead us to Sophie.
00:48:55Posey, how was your day? Well spent, was it? I suppose so. I read a novel.
00:49:10I wish to speak to you.
00:49:23I owe you an apology. I've let my distress about Sophie and the season get the better
00:49:27of me. And at times perhaps I have unfairly vended my frustrations on you.
00:49:33Yes. Well, I have grown quite accustomed to it. It started long before Sophie left.
00:49:43You know, I was much like you when I was younger. It is obviously Rosamond who is most similar
00:49:47to you. Now, but before my debut. Before the marriage part. I was like you. Joyful. Optimistic.
00:49:58Unconcerned with propriety. Clumsy. I was lucky your father chose me, considering I hardly
00:50:05knew how to curtsy properly. And then he died. Do you know what it is like for a young lady
00:50:13with two small girls to re-enter the marriage part? I was already damaged goods, so I could
00:50:19not afford a single misstep. I had to be perfect in every way. I was lucky to find a second
00:50:26match. A love match for that. But then Sophie appeared. And once again I could not produce
00:50:35an heir. And then he died as well. Mama. Do not feel sorry for me. I clearly did not
00:50:49carry some kind of curse. But I refuse to pass it down to you and Rosamond. Which is why
00:50:59I insist on perfection. And this match with Lord Stotter. If your sister can see it through,
00:51:07it may be the tide that raises all our boats. But not if Lord Stotter were ever to find out
00:51:17about our connection to Sophie. That you and Rosamond were both raised with a bastard child
00:51:21at your side. She is the stain on our name, Posie. And the thought that she has been at Bridgerton
00:51:27House all this time. Seducing the man that your sister had her heart set on.
00:51:33I thought we confirmed that she is not at Bridgerton House. I thought so as well. But Farley saw her
00:51:41at the
00:51:42market today. Wearing a Bridgerton House uniform. You need not go after her, Mama. She is leaving for the Americas.
00:51:53She will leave Bridgerton House soon and you can forget all about her.
00:52:00I see.
00:52:13What am I to do without you? I cannot believe you are abandoning us of Penwood House. Who will help
00:52:20me keep this one in line if you are gone?
00:52:24Somehow I think you will be up to the task.
00:52:34What? Do not give me that look. Not when you were still pretending to go to Penwood House rather than
00:52:39departing for the Americas tomorrow.
00:52:41Shh. It will only make saying goodbye that much harder. And I do not want to detract from Lady Kilmartin's
00:52:46event tonight.
00:52:47When must you leave?
00:52:49Whilst the Bridgertons are out, I aim to aid my new employees in finishing their packing this evening.
00:52:54What about your mother's necklace? You said you could not leave it.
00:52:57In many ways, I think I wore it all these years not to honour her, but as a reminder of
00:53:03her mistakes.
00:53:05Perhaps it is time to let it go and leave the past with it.
00:53:08You can do that without crossing the ocean, you know.
00:53:10I must get the ladies ready for the festivities.
00:53:34Thank you all for coming.
00:53:39It has been a harrowing set of days, to say the least.
00:53:43But tonight, to stow away with grief and remember the remarkable man that John was.
00:53:49I shall go first.
00:53:51John was my greatest friend and partner in mischief since birth.
00:53:55He was genuine, determined and had patience fit for a saint to tolerate my nature.
00:54:01More like the patience of tensing.
00:54:07He was my guiding light, my compass.
00:54:10We were opposite ends of the pendulum, yet somehow we balanced each other.
00:54:15I will miss you, dear cousin, more than you will ever know.
00:54:24Do not feel obligated, but if anyone would like to speak.
00:54:31To John, a kind of gentleman I have never known.
00:54:36I always admired how deliberate John was.
00:54:40He thought through everything with such care.
00:54:43Unless, of course, you've got some brandy in him, in which case, well, look out.
00:54:49He was exceptionally nimble-footed.
00:54:52You should have seen him climbing trees as a boy.
00:54:54Went up so high, I feared we would never get him down again.
00:55:01John may have been a man of few words, but he saved them for when they counted the most.
00:55:07He knew the power of a gesture, that actions speak louder.
00:55:11He showed his heart with the love he gave to Fran.
00:55:16To all of us.
00:55:17He shall be missed dearly, but never forgotten.
00:55:23To John.
00:55:24To John.
00:55:25To John.
00:55:27Now, perhaps we might-
00:55:28I would like to speak.
00:55:38It seems inconceivable that he is gone.
00:55:48I had our entire lives planned.
00:55:50I thought I knew exactly what the future held.
00:55:53And now, it's only a headache.
00:55:58How could a headache take my husband away?
00:56:01For days, all I could think was how it is not fair.
00:56:04John was a good man.
00:56:05He deserved a better fate, a longer life.
00:56:08But that is not how I wish to remember him.
00:56:13It is quite something to spend your entire life feeling like you are somehow out of place.
00:56:19And then to meet someone who understands you before you even say a word.
00:56:25Someone whose singular qualities match your own.
00:56:31Whose kindness makes you feel warm.
00:56:35You can read your mind from across the whole room.
00:56:38John was more than my husband.
00:56:40He was my truest friend.
00:56:42I may ache at present, but the good John brought into my life.
00:56:51That bond, that understanding, love, far outweighs any pain I feel right now.
00:56:59I would not change it.
00:57:01For anything.
00:57:03To my husband.
00:57:17I thought I might perform a Scottish Highland dance that John and I learned as children.
00:57:24Fran, will you join me?
00:57:28Yes.
00:57:33Right.
00:57:35This is the stag, everyone.
00:57:43Wonderful.
00:57:46Wonderful.
00:57:47Right.
00:57:48Then we'll go into spinning.
00:57:49And spin.
00:57:52Arms.
00:57:53Well, do not leave us simply dancing alone.
00:57:56Grab a partner.
00:57:57Come on.
00:57:58Pair up, pair up.
00:57:59Put your drinks down.
00:58:01Get into the stag, everyone.
00:58:04One, two, three, four.
00:58:07Wonderful.
00:58:08And spin.
00:58:10And spin.
00:58:12Lovely arm.
00:58:17Switch.
00:58:19Back to the beginning.
00:58:21Back to the beginning.
00:58:22Back to the beginning.
00:58:24Let's go.
00:58:31And spin.
00:58:36Switch partners.
00:58:53Excuse me, mother.
00:58:54Where are you going?
00:58:55There is something I have to take care of at Bridgeton House.
00:58:58But it could not wait.
00:58:59I've waited long enough already.
00:59:01Wait.
00:59:03I have left something for you in your desk.
00:59:05It was my grandmother's.
00:59:10Go.
00:59:32Go!
00:59:44Go!
00:59:45Go!
00:59:48Go!
00:59:49Hey!
00:59:51Go!
00:59:52Go!
00:59:54Go!
00:59:55Oh, my God.
01:00:33Oh, my God.
01:00:55Oh, my God.
01:01:24Oh, my God.
01:01:26Oh, my God.
01:01:51Is Sophie down here?
01:01:52Mr. Bridgerton, is everything all right?
01:01:54Whatever you need, we can surely bring it to you.
01:01:56Has she already departed for Penwood House?
01:01:58Yes, sir.
01:01:58I believe she has just left.
01:02:00Then I will be needing my horse to the mount right there at once.
01:02:02Right away, Miss.
01:02:02Wait, I mean, pardon me, sir, but Sophie is not at Penwood House.
01:02:08She accepted another position with a family moving to the Americas.
01:02:11The Americas?
01:02:12Are you certain?
01:02:13She went to stay with them tonight as they planned to board a ship at dawn.
01:02:15What is the name of the family?
01:02:17I'm afraid I do not know, sir.
01:02:18She would not tell me.
01:02:25Sophie Peck.
01:02:26Constable.
01:02:27This is the thief I was telling you about.
01:02:29Unfortunately, we no longer have to disturb the Bridgertons.
01:02:32We shall take that.
01:02:34Place your hands behind your back.
01:02:35No, please, sir, this is a terrible mistake.
01:02:38I shall explain.
01:02:39Sir, Quebec, you are hereby arrested on suspicion of thievery and of impersonating ability.
01:02:43Wait, wait, wait, no, no, Araminta, Araminta, do not, Araminta, Araminta, please.
01:03:05Sophie.
01:03:40You are hereby, sir, this is a terrible mistake.
01:03:45You are hereby, sir.
01:04:18You are hereby, sir.
01:04:21Got it, sir.
01:04:31.
01:04:36You are hereby, sir.
