00:00May I call you by your Christian name?

00:02I... yes.

00:03It's Elspeth.

00:05And I'm Claire.

00:06All I'm asking is that you contact this Claudel fellow and encourage him to meet with me.

00:10I'll consider it.

00:11Do you think Frank is torturing you?

00:13I just don't know what's real or not anymore.

00:15Well, Cameron, you've read my date for time travel by accident.

00:18No one on the ridge.

00:19Cairns of this gold's existence.

00:21Can I let them find out?

00:22Daddy's book warns of a battle coming to the backcountry.

00:25We're gonna need a lot more than just a few hunting rifles and Savannah is the place to get them.

00:28Lord John Grey included a letter of safe passage with his invitation.

00:32You're raising a loyalist militia on my land.

00:34I am sorely mistaken if you think I will allow it.

00:41I've reconsidered your plan to get guns to arm the ridge.

00:44It'll still be dangerous.

00:45Randall's book says the battle to end the siege of Savannah will be on the 9th of October.

00:51Continentals will fail.

00:52The battle will be bloody, but...

00:54It will not reach the center of the city, so if you wait out to fight in there, you should

00:57be safe enough.

00:58As will Fergus, Marsley.

01:00And the children can stay here with us, of course.

01:03Take this to Lieutenant Colonel Francis Marion.

01:06Book says he'll be with the Continental Army in Savannah.

01:10There's a great deal of experience with militias.

01:12Might be keen to arm men from the backcountry.

01:15So we're starting our own militia?

01:16What's that?

01:17Or we join Benjamin Cleveland and his overmountain men.

01:21I'll be damned if I'll report back to that murdering bastard.

01:25I think he'll at least have the decency to shine.

01:27Like in a film.

01:35What about bandits?

01:37Do you want to make it into musket balls like they did the last time?

01:39No.

01:40There's no time.

01:41But I do have an idea.

01:50Sing me a song of a last that is gone

01:56Say, could that last be I?

02:06Mary of soul, she sailed on a day

02:11Over the sea to sky

02:20Willow and breeze

02:23Islands and seas

02:25Mountains of rain and sun

02:31All that was good

02:33All that was fair

02:36All that was me is gone

02:42All that was me is gone

02:45All that was me is gone

02:46Sing me a song of a last that is gone

02:50Say, could that last be I?

02:54My Mary of soul

02:59She sailed on a day

03:02Over the sea

03:09To sky

22:21I

22:24I

22:24Did you know

22:25The day we met in Wilmington

22:27Did you know what we were to each other?

22:32I did

22:34I wanted to tell you

22:36Roger and my husband was with me

22:38He was just around the corner at the end

22:41And my children, Jem and Mandy

22:43I

22:44I really wanted you to meet them

22:48Even

22:49Even if you

22:49Didn't know we were

22:52Well

22:54Yours?

22:56Mine

22:58I should probably say something polite

23:01Like only if you want us

23:03But that's

23:03But late for that

23:04To lie about the truth honey

23:08I do apologize

23:09For not telling you

23:11But

23:12Lord John and Della felt so strongly

23:14It

23:17It wasn't my place

23:21I accept your apology

23:23Though in all honesty

23:25I'm glad you didn't tell me

23:28I

23:28I wouldn't have known how to respond to such a revelation

23:31At the time

23:33And

23:34You do now?

23:35And no I bloody don't

23:39But

23:39But I

23:39Haven't blown my brains out

23:40I was 18 I might have

23:45I apologize

23:46I

23:47I didn't mean that

23:48With any derogatory reference to you or your family

23:51Your family?

23:52You mean?

24:05Thank you for coming, Monsieur Fraser

24:06Allow me to send for wine

24:08Oh, no thank you

24:09I came to hear what you have to say

24:11But I must get back to my work

24:14Very well then, sir

24:16I'll get right to it

24:20I wish to acquaint you with the facts of your birth

24:25Facts I think you do not know

24:29Have you heard of a man by the name of Le Comte Saint-Germain?

24:34Why?

24:36You are his son

24:41I'm sure you'll have an explanation as to how you came to this preposterous conclusion

24:48As he may have surmised, I am not French myself

24:52I have, however, married into a prestigious French family

24:56My wife is the sister of the Baron Amandine

24:59And as with any old dynasty

25:03There is a sordid family secret

25:06Many years ago, my wife's oldest sister began a torrid affair with the Comte

25:10And not long after, disappeared

25:13Flared into the night with her jewels

25:14And they, supposed, into the arms of another lover

25:18I take it you wish me to believe I'm the result of this tryst?

25:23Perhaps the name of the woman in question will convince you

25:28Amélie Levine Beauchamp

25:38Yes, yes, she is dead

25:42You may continue

25:44A few years ago, I uncovered the truth from one of the Comte's servants

25:49Amélie did not run away with the lover

25:51The Comte simply grew weary of her

25:53And, learning she was pregnant, lured her away from home, drugged her with opium, and sold her to a brothel

26:02Maison Elis

26:03That is where she gave birth to a child

26:07You

26:11And Monsieur Le Comte?

26:13He was last seen more than thirty years ago

26:16And while no body was found, the circumstances of his disappearance were so mysterious that a magistrate declared him deceased

26:23His estate is currently held in trust by a solicitor in Paris

26:28But it would undoubtedly be released should a petition be filed by his heir

26:34Heir?

26:37Unless the law in France is changed if later

26:40A bastard cannot inherit properties

26:43Claudel

26:46If I may use your original name

26:54You may not, sir

26:57Very well

27:00I found this

27:02Lidden in the pages of a dusty family bible

27:05I'm quite certain

27:06I'm the only one living who knows of its existence

27:11It is a contract of marriage

27:31It appears, Emily relinquished her virtue at a high price

27:35By demanding the Comte marry her in secret

27:39Before welcoming him to her bed

27:46Allow me to congratulate you, sir

27:49You are not a bastard

27:52Assuming the document isn't forged

27:55Plainly, you have something you want out of this

27:59Something Monsieur Le Comte might accomplish for you

28:02Le Comte Saint-Germain owned his estate

28:04Still does own a majority of the stock of a syndicate investing in land in the New World

28:09The main asset of which is a large parcel in what is known as the Old Northwest

28:16Some interests of mine in Paris believe that while Britain is preoccupied with this rebellion

28:22There is an opportunity to establish a French colony on the land with French settlers

28:30Unfortunately, Le Comte's solicitor refuses to sell the stock at any price

28:39But if a legitimate heir were to appear, the land would become his

28:43And my associates would pay a significant sum for said land

28:51A significant sum

29:02Have I done something to offend you?

29:05Simply trying to enjoy my literature in solitude

29:07Should you require company, perhaps Mrs Mackenzie will oblige you

29:12Lady Grey, are you jealous?

29:15Don't be absurd

29:17Though anyone with eyes can see that there's a history between the two of you

29:22I suppose you're right, she's a person of some significance in my life

29:27Please, I thought we...

29:31It doesn't matter, it's foolish

29:36Miss Mackenzie, Brianna is my sister

29:44You told me you didn't have any siblings

29:51I'm a bastard

29:53Well, I'm not legally a bastard

29:55Since the 8th Earl of Elsmair and my mother were married when I was born

29:59But the 8th Earl was not my father

30:04The man who sighed me was...

30:08Is...

30:09Brianna's father

30:13Well...

30:14Whoever he was, he must have been a...

30:18A very striking gentleman

30:22He is

30:25Has he acknowledged you?

30:27Not publicly, no

30:28Nor do I want him to

30:30He owes me nothing

30:34I'm only telling you this because...

30:36You asked

30:39Because I enjoy your company

30:43May I be so bold as to presume you enjoy mine?

30:51That is bold

30:55They're perhaps not incorrect

30:59Well...

31:01I think it's only fair

31:03One comprehends a person whose company one is enjoying

31:09I am not the 9th Earl of Elsmair

31:12Not really

31:14I never was

31:17Late I found myself wishing I could renounce the damn title altogether

31:21Though English law makes that all but impossible

31:25Well, you may not be able to renounce it, but you can hand it on

31:29Abducate in favour of your heir, I mean

31:31I don't have an heir

31:33Well, you could marry me and give it to our firstborn

31:38I'm a widow, after all

31:40We could retire into private life and breed Daxons

31:48I can't imagine anything more tiresome

31:51Surely you don't mean to imply that being married to me would be tiresome, William

31:56You might just possibly enjoy it

32:01Thank you, Amaranthus

32:04For not thinking less of me

32:09As I've told you

32:11I'm the daughter of F. Cowden Bookseller

32:16That's all my father is to the world

32:19I thought I would be a merchant's wife

32:23But now I am Viscountess Grey

32:28And my son will be the Duke of Pardlow

32:32While you may disagree

32:34I believe a title is something you simply have

32:36Not something you are

32:39By law you are the Earl of Ellesmere

32:42That's all the world needs to know

32:50But you're not only that, William

32:53Not to me

32:58How's the pain?

33:00In my shoulder or my head?

33:03Both, I suppose

33:04Bearable

33:07Though I wish the girl would refrain from slamming doors

33:10That's not Fanny

33:12She's taking milk of Devon Lindsay's

33:16Then who?

33:17Ourses make sounds, Elspeth

33:19All I know is that when the wind is in the east

33:22Ours makes that particular noise from the attic

33:25Why build an attic in the first place?

33:28Because my husband is the Fraser of Fraser's Ridge

33:33If there should ever be any kind of emergency that causes our tenants to have to leave their home, well

33:37Then they can take refuge

33:40Here with us

33:41And what kind of an emergency might that be?

33:51Your son

33:52Do you believe what he says about?

33:56My grandson's death

33:59Yes, I do believe him

34:01It is a comfort

34:04I was thinking specifically about

34:08What he said to him

34:10That he, your grandson, would see Charles again

34:12In seven years' time

34:15Do you believe that?

34:17I only know that he believes it

34:27Good day, Mrs. Fraser

34:29I'm here to collect my mother

34:31I'll help her get her things

34:33No need

34:34I'll do it myself

34:40You'll find her through here

34:45Mother

34:46Are you well?

34:47I heard that you were injured

34:48Yes, my shoulder

34:49But Mrs. Fraser was able to heal it quite satisfactorily

34:53She's been most hospitable

34:56I've enjoyed the company

34:57Her husband's away at the moment, on business

35:00Is he?

35:01I had wondered

35:03He's a hard man to pin down, your husband

35:05We had been meaning to talk

35:08Or, so I thought

35:11He's anxious to speak with you too

35:14But, this business, couldn't wait

35:17Well

35:19I thank you, ma'am, for the care you've shown my mother

35:23She should be fully recovered within a week or so

35:26But, uh, here are some herbs

35:29That should ease her discomfort

35:33You have a very fine home

35:36You must feel very empty with him away

35:38And you here all along

35:49I'm fine

35:51I can assure you

35:54I expect him home at any moment

35:57I'll let him know you stopped by

36:02Charles, did you bring the cart?

36:04Of course, mother

36:12Until next time, Mrs. Fraser

36:24Do you think he's telling you the truth?

36:26Do you very well, maybe

36:29Amelie, I knew her, but I...

36:33I didn't know she was my mother

36:37There are many children born in a brothel

36:39The little ones they would call any whore, ma'am

36:42Anyone who would feed them

36:45And if a whore had to attend a customer

36:46And her child was hungry

36:48She would just hand them to another jeune fille

36:52Emily

36:52They called her the Baroness for Holti Manor

36:58Even then, I knew the name was cruel, but

37:00Until today, I didn't realize how cruel

37:11Was she kind to you?

37:13She...

37:13She detested all of the children of the Brassel

37:17And...

37:18Me, most of all

37:22I understand now

37:23I was the spawn of the man who took everything from her

37:27Her love

37:30Her freedom

37:33Even her family

37:38She died

37:39I think I was maybe six years old when she died

37:41She contracted the morbid sore throat

37:46I remember she summoned me to her chamber

37:51What did she say?

37:53Sois un bon garçon

37:56Be a good boy

38:08It wasn't fair if I had to blame you for what happened to her

38:12I wouldn't expect fairness from one whose life was filled with so much cruelty

38:17At the hands of such a villain

38:21The Comte Saint Germain in France

38:22He tried to kill the lady

38:25And now to learn that he sired me

38:28You are not him

38:30I know that better than anyone, my love

38:33But if you are truly his heir

38:36Then you can use what he's left you for good

38:39If you take this Beauchamp up on his offer

38:41That man is a whore, as you know

38:44He's likely been one all his life

38:46Monsieur Beauchamp is told to sell his arse, of course

38:48But he would sell himself

38:50From necessity

38:51All he's asking though

38:53Is that you sell him some land, no?

38:56Land that you have a right to, by birth

38:58Yes, but why?

39:00What effect will that have?

39:02Selling it to these interests in Paris

39:04They want to install a French colony on American soil

39:08We've devoted ourselves to the Patriot cause

39:13We're not fighting to be free of a British king just to become servants of a French one

39:18You then again, I'll come to that

39:22You don't know that it won't?

39:25That isn't everything

39:27Again, you Vegas Fraser

39:30Why is this offer so difficult to consider?

39:34To claim this inheritance

39:36This land

39:39I must publicly acknowledge that the Comte Saint-Germain was my father

39:45Monsieur Beauchamp told me whatever he often wants to hear

39:49That I'm the son of a great man

39:55But

39:56I'm already the son of a great man

40:14Do not worry, my dear

40:16A French warship that treat has taken to firing her cannon on occasion

40:21Dreadful nuisance

40:23She's anchored on the far end of Hutchinson Island

40:26Out of range to do any damage here in town

40:31I assure you

40:33You're perfectly safe

40:36Oh, glad to hear it

40:41So...

40:42Why didn't you tell William I was coming?

40:45B-Because, um...

40:48Because I didn't know how he would react

40:52It seems William's husband, um...

40:55Lost

40:56Since he learned the truth of his parentage

41:00But, um...

41:01You and he share a rather unique experience

41:04Discovering that James Fraser is your father

41:08So that's why you invited me here

41:10Not to paint a portrait of Amaranthus

41:13You think I can help William?

41:15I-I-I do think that a portrait of his grandchild and daughter-in-law

41:19Will do my brother the world of good, but...

41:22Yes...

41:24If there's anyone who can talk some sense into William about his present difficulties

41:28It's you

41:30You could've just told me the truth, you know

41:33I would've come anyway

41:35I don't believe you've been entirely truthful with me either

41:38Or should I ask precisely what, um...

41:41Errands your husband has outside the city?

41:44Does it, perhaps, have something to do with the continental army encampment there?

41:52I-I-I could have been more direct about my intentions for this visit

42:00But...

42:01I couldn't take the chance you'd rebuff me now

42:05Even if there's one...

42:07Trait...

42:08That James Fraser has...

42:10Successfully passed to all his children

42:13It's...

42:14Stubbornness

42:15And it...

42:15It's exceedingly difficult...

42:18To get you to do anything you don't want to do

42:21William...

42:23William is the same

42:28My late wife, Isabel, told me that William was lost once on his estate in Hellwater

42:34He was, um...

42:36Three...

42:37Or so...

42:39Was wandering alone...

42:40In a fog on the fells

42:45Sometimes I see that

42:49Sometimes...

42:55Other things

42:57You see those things when you're a parent

43:02Yeah

43:07I can't make any promises

43:11But I will see what I can do

43:15Thank you

43:18Thank you, my dear

43:43Thank you

43:52Gem and Mandy were a delight

43:55Rodney and we, Claire, can't wait for their next...

43:57What do they call it?

43:58A sleep-over

44:01Well, I'm glad they weren't a nuisance

44:04Never

44:05Every child's a miracle

44:09Are you all right, Rachel?

44:11Yes

44:13He's right, of course, Lizzy

44:14Every child is a miracle

44:15Though in Aldi's case, the miracle is how long he can scream without drawing breath

44:19Sometimes he sounds just like a catamount

44:21Well, we've all been there

44:23Mandy, look!

44:24Granda!

44:25Granda!

44:28Come on!

44:29Come on, they're coming!

44:31They're certainly happy to see their Granda

44:35What is that with them?

44:37I have no idea

44:42Buck!

44:43Buck!

44:44Ah!

44:46Children!

44:47Come here!

44:49Come here, where are you?

44:52Honey, look at your cousin!

44:54Buck! It's Buck!

44:55May I introduce to you, William Buckley Mackenzie

44:59Your pleasure

45:00The reputation procedure

45:01As does yours

45:04You must have had a very long journey indeed

45:07Not leaving that

45:08Can't help you explain

45:09I thought him he's welcome to stay on the ridge as long as he likes

45:12Of course, and your family

45:14Come along, come inside

45:16I'm sure you both must be starving

45:18Aye

45:19You don't happen to have any of those, er, peanut butter sandwiches, do you?

45:33There's trouble in your book here?

45:36There was a massacre

45:38At North

45:41Mohawk leader Joseph Brandt

45:43And a loyalist captain led a raid on a rebel town

45:48Kenjoel Superant

45:51The Continentals retaliated

45:53By sending an army out there

46:01The Patriot army

46:03Hatched along the Susquehanna River

46:05Raising

46:06The Indian village

46:07Confined

46:09Forty villages were left in flames

46:11And

46:13Countless scalps were

46:16Christ

46:16Is that not where Shadow Lake lies?

46:20Were they for my wife?

46:23No, are we?

46:25Hey

46:28My son

46:30The Yorgas need to be

46:33Swift as the Blizzards

46:37Rachel

46:41You must go north

46:45And you didn't know what happened to them

46:50Of course he must go

46:56And Oggie and I will come with thee

47:08I'm going to miss this little catamount

47:12You're going to be so much bigger by the time you return

47:17Is it really nothing I can say to convince you and Oggie to stay?

47:20I thank thee, Claire

47:21But

47:22No

47:23Thee let thy husband travel alone 700 miles to rescue his first wife

47:27You make a good point

47:35I pray that we find Emily and her children safe

47:39When he sees them

47:41I want to be by his side

47:44So he doesn't forget the life he has here

47:50Does that make me wicked?

47:53No, Rachel

47:56That makes you human

48:00Here

48:08Come

48:11Rachel says you mean to stop in Philadelphia

48:14So she can go to a proper meeting

48:16Aye

48:17She's missed it

48:19I'd like you to go to the brothel there

48:21The one Frances left with her sister

48:23Speak with some of the lasses

48:25A brothel?

48:28It's not enough I'm going to find my first wife

48:31It's to do with Frances

48:33Ask him about Jane

48:34Anything she said about her family

48:37We'd like Frances to get more about them

48:40I'll find out what I can

49:00I must say one more thing to you before you go

49:08You can the book Brianna brought back

49:11The one written by her other father

49:14Aye, she told me

49:17Frank Randall

49:20It's about Scots in America

49:23About

49:24What they

49:26What we will do

49:28In the revolution

49:31There's mention of a

49:32Battle in the backcountry at a place called Kings Mountain

49:35I've heard of this place

49:37Frank says I fight in it

49:40When will that happen?

49:42October next

49:44So he says

49:45Claire thinks he's bending the truth

49:47But the...

49:49I'm more and more convinced he's not

49:59I'll be there with you uncle

50:01There'll be time enough for me to do whatever needs to be done in the north

50:04And make it home

50:06Aye

50:08Don't bash

50:10But I may be gone

50:12But I'll guard your left in his stead

50:17Thank you lad

50:37May you be safe on your journey?

50:45May you there?

50:49May you see the day

50:50or you will find Him

50:52May you see us

50:56Make me an important sign

50:58Not very um, day

51:01May you see you in sight

51:02May you see us

51:04Make me a stronger

51:05That's it.

51:23You call me, Monsieur.

51:25Go.

51:36Good afternoon, Colonel Marion.

51:38I'm Reverend Roger McKenzie.

51:40I apologize for interrupting you, but...

51:43You're a difficult man to find, and my request is urgent.

51:46You're a volunteer?

51:48Continental Army isn't choosy.

51:50Though I have to say, the occasional minister we do get doesn't usually wear his best clothes to fight in.

51:56No, sir.

51:58Fair.

51:59I've come to request your assistance.

52:02My father-in-law owns 10,000 acres in North Carolina.

52:07A British major named Patrick Ferguson has been stirring up trouble in the backcountry, raising loyalist militias.

52:12And as we are patriots, we've decided to assemble a militia of our own.

52:17But we need weapons.

52:19I believe you've helped arm others like us before.

52:22Mm-hmm.

52:24I can pay you.

52:26I think we could possibly reach an agreement.

52:30Well, I have a letter from my father-in-law with the particulars.

52:41Your father-in-law is General James Fraser?

52:45Aye.

52:46A fellow who abandoned his troops at Marmont to tend his wife.

52:50Aye.

52:53James Fraser is an honourable man, sir.

52:56And a very brave soldier.

52:58The battle was already won when his wife was shocked.

53:01Is it true?

53:01He signed his letter of resignation on the back of a corporal in mud.

53:05Actually, he wrote it in his wife's blood.

53:07But aye.

53:10He didn't have a choice.

53:12She was wounded when General Lee ordered him to leave our side, which...

53:15I'm sure the circumstances were quite extraordinary.

53:17The fact remains that if it had not been for Lee's trial and Lafayette's good word,

53:21Fraser would have been court-martialed after Marmont, perhaps even hanged.

53:24Sir, our people are in danger.

53:27Our circumstances here are quite dire as well.

53:29We have precious few resources.

53:32Even with the assistance of our new French allies.

53:34I can't afford to give what I do have to someone who's already lost the Continental Army's trust.

53:40Surely has years of service and sacrifice to the cause.

53:42My answer is no, Reverend McKenzie, in its final.

53:50Then I'll take my leave, sir.

53:52That's not possible, I'm afraid.

53:55I beg your pardon?

53:56We assault the city in a few days' time.

53:58General Lincoln has ordered centuries to detain anyone leaving camp

54:01in an effort to prevent the deserters from warning the British.

54:04You can't leave.

54:06I've come to ask for your help in fighting the British.

54:08Surely you don't think that I'm going to leave here and assist them.

54:11I have my orders, Reverend McKenzie.

54:14Sir, my wife is in the city.

54:18I promised I'd return.

54:21Every man here has made such a promise to his wife, his mother, his son.

54:26Many will not live to honor them.

54:29You might.

54:31I can find a safe place for you to wait out the battle.

54:33Unless you want to fight, I can give you a good rifle.

54:38No.

54:40No.

54:42Stay here and wait, then.

54:45Things go wrong.

54:46You can help bury us.

54:53Sir, wait.

55:00No, I'm not good with a rifle.

55:05But if you can give me a sword, I'll fight with you.

55:08No, no.

55:09No.

55:12No.
