00:00:07Previously, I cannot admit there's anything to do, but go on.
00:00:13That will be where a new house will stand.
00:00:16We will make it back here one day, won't we?
00:00:20Aye, we will.
00:00:25Allow me to introduce William Buckley Mackenzie.
00:00:28Your servant, Bodham.
00:00:30It was a great new dune, and here I am.
00:00:33Well, Cameron, he did it.
00:00:35Rob took Jim.
00:00:36Hey! It's Rob!
00:00:39Callahan! Rihanna!
00:00:41So where do we belong now?
00:00:42So it's not a question of where we belong.
00:00:46It's when.
00:00:46Your son is due home shortly.
00:00:49Son?
00:00:50What we really want is your protection.
00:00:55Where's Jayden?
00:00:56Major Joaquin said that she killed Captain Hargris and dragged her away.
00:01:01We need to go.
00:01:05They can come and live with us in Lurridge.
00:01:07You'll be safe.
00:01:08Who was thy wife?
00:01:10Her name is Mayol Haway.
00:01:11Emily chose me for Rachel.
00:01:14My whole soul.
00:01:16I choose you.
00:01:17A place where we could raise our family.
00:01:23You mean?
00:01:30I have had carnal knowledge of your wife.
00:01:33Henry and Ben will be fighting across the sea.
00:01:36Do you want to have to tell your wife that your sons have died in a war that could have
00:01:40been stopped?
00:01:48I will do my best, my name.
00:01:52Can we go?
00:01:54You're not going back to the army?
00:01:56No.
00:01:56I came to ask forgiveness.
00:02:01Let me be beside the seaside.
00:02:04Oh, I do like to be beside the sea.
00:02:09So just let me be beside the seaside.
00:02:16How could you possibly hear that song?
00:02:21My mother told it to me.
00:02:23I think faith lived.
00:02:26I think I'll do it to the list.
00:02:33Where the bloody hell is he?
00:02:36He'll come.
00:02:38No smuggler worth of salt would miss the chance to sell 30 barrels of good whiskey.
00:02:44I just hope he doesn't get close enough to smell the herring.
00:02:47I wouldn't allow it.
00:02:50Much is out of the sound of your voice, isn't it?
00:02:52Trying not to speak unless spoken to.
00:03:16You have a squishy taste, Mr. Roy.
00:03:20You'll not have trouble finding buyers in the north.
00:03:23Armies there will be thirsty.
00:03:25You'll easily double your investment.
00:03:29Who gave you my name?
00:03:31Mrs. Abbott.
00:03:33In Philadelphia.
00:03:36Do you often take business advice from whores?
00:03:39Mrs. Abbott tells me you're a man to be trusted.
00:03:43Because you didn't have the money to pay your debts.
00:03:46It took you a little while, but you returned to something much better than coin.
00:03:56Two losses to settle your score.
00:04:01See?
00:04:03As he is.
00:04:05Whiskey wasn't the only reason I wanted to meet Mr. Vasquez.
00:04:09I wish to expand my business.
00:04:11Tell me, where do you find the girls?
00:04:13It so happens I found them at sea.
00:04:17My men and I were looking for a ship heavy with goods.
00:04:20But the captain, Pukuk was his name, was foolish enough to bring his family.
00:04:25A wife.
00:04:27And two daughters.
00:04:29With my knife as encouragement, he was willing to part with the cargo, but not so willing to part with
00:04:35the girls.
00:04:36So I was forced to slit his throat.
00:04:38One of the daughters was still too young to earn.
00:04:41Even the smallest man would tear her to pieces.
00:04:44But with that face and those golden curls, I knew she would soon command the premium and assurance for the
00:04:51future.
00:04:52But her sister was ripe and ready.
00:04:54I don't think she had ever seen her.
00:04:56A cock before I stuck her with mine.
00:04:59That one will have paid my debts a hundred times over by now.
00:05:03But the captain's wife.
00:05:06She would have brought a pretty penny herself.
00:05:09Beautiful.
00:05:10Wild hair.
00:05:11Skin like velvet.
00:05:13It's a shame I never had a chance to fuck her.
00:05:16She turned into a rabid dog when I touched her daughter.
00:05:19Skin like velvet.
00:05:19Scratching.
00:05:20Biting.
00:05:21Screaming.
00:05:21Too much trouble.
00:05:23I threw her overboard.
00:05:24Only death will shut her up.
00:05:27Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:05:49We need to leave, Sazenay.
00:05:57I killed him too quickly.
00:05:59Should have let that bastard suffer.
00:06:01Should have made him feel every ounce of agony that a body can feel.
00:06:05And even then, even then it wouldn't be punishment enough.
00:06:08Yeah, well, the devil will give him his proper due for what he did to Jane and Francis and Faith.
00:06:14She was alive.
00:06:17We could have had a life with her and he robbed us of that chance.
00:06:21He wasn't the only one.
00:06:23You told me you held our babe in your hands all those years ago.
00:06:26That she was stillborn, already lost to us.
00:06:27So how did she come to be married to a sea captain with two daughters of her own?
00:06:32I don't know.
00:06:35I don't know.
00:06:38Mother Hiltigard at me, she must have done something or...
00:06:44...past arraignment.
00:06:46He asked for my forgiveness, but for what?
00:06:50You, somebody lied.
00:06:53But why?
00:06:57Why would they steal our child from us?
00:07:01I always imagined our daughter in heaven.
00:07:05I mourned an innocent soul who had not had a chance at life.
00:07:10I had to find out she lived, but that her life was cut short.
00:07:16She...
00:07:20She was out there, Jane.
00:07:27What did her laugh sound like?
00:07:32Or did she...
00:07:34Did she smile in her sleep like you and Brie?
00:07:40Who helped her when she cried?
00:07:45Oh, God.
00:07:48What if nobody did?
00:07:51What if she went through her whole life thinking that nobody wanted her when...
00:07:56When all we wanted more than anything in the world was hell?
00:08:11You lost your parents at a young age when you dove.
00:08:18Wondered the world, fruitless.
00:08:21But then we found each other.
00:08:26I am the true home of your heart.
00:08:32Maybe it was the same for our daughter.
00:08:34Maybe she wanted to...
00:08:36And found her home.
00:08:39Made a family.
00:08:44She was loved, Claire.
00:08:49I'll have to believe that.
00:09:00Sing me a song of a last that is gone.
00:09:08Say, could that last be I?
00:09:16Mary of soul, she sailed on a day
00:09:23Over the sea to sky
00:09:32Billow and breeze
00:09:34Islands and seas
00:09:38Mountains of rain and sun
00:09:43All that was good
00:09:46All that was good
00:09:49All that was me
00:09:52Is gone
00:09:58Sing me a song of a last that is gone
00:10:04Sing me a song of a last that is gone
00:10:10Mary of soul, she sailed on a day
00:10:16Over the sea
00:10:25To sky
00:10:48The sea
00:11:30Have you managed to sleep at all?
00:11:37Now we're thinking about our faith.
00:11:42Now that we still don't care.
00:11:57I shouldn't have remembered more.
00:12:00Now, she couldn't have been more than five years old when she was sold to the brothel.
00:12:06We shouldn't press her.
00:12:08She's already suffered more than any child should.
00:12:11First her parents.
00:12:15Jane.
00:12:16Do you think we should tell her?
00:12:19That she's our granddaughter?
00:12:22How can we explain it to her?
00:12:25When we don't know how it's possible ourselves?
00:12:28She might not believe us.
00:12:31And then we'll have broken whatever trust she started having in us.
00:12:37It's no small miracle that a piece of faith came to be in our lives.
00:12:44But God, despite all we've lost, we can thank the Lord for that blessing.
00:13:12Good morning, Grandpère.
00:13:14Grandmère.
00:13:14I'm dying for breakfast.
00:13:16Did I, or did I not tell you, we heathens, to let your grandparents sleep?
00:13:19Now, get away from there.
00:13:21Oh, yes, good morning to you both.
00:13:24There's some coffee in a wee bit.
00:13:26Parish.
00:13:27There's new ready.
00:13:28Sounds wonderful.
00:13:30Thank you, Marsley.
00:13:31I insist you're up.
00:13:32I wouldn't mind a hand with the press.
00:13:34We'll be down shortly, Monfils, I'm eager to see this workshop of yours.
00:13:54We were so newly arrived when the British took over the city.
00:13:58We had not yet begun printing the newspaper.
00:14:02Now, I'm careful to be perfectly impartial in its pages.
00:14:07If not, a bit more complimentary to the British Army than they deserve.
00:14:11Wise choice.
00:14:16This is a may question the loyalty of a Frenchman.
00:14:19Indeed.
00:14:20It also helps that it was a regiment of Highlanders who captured Savannah for the British.
00:14:25And I happened to have a Scottish wife.
00:14:28And the name Fraser above the door.
00:14:32For that, I'm forgiven a multitude of sins.
00:15:06And I'm forgiven a multitude of sins.
00:15:07But the British do not forgive sedition.
00:15:10Well, I better not get caught then.
00:15:15Don't worry.
00:15:16I'm doing everything you taught me.
00:15:19The difference is you have a family now.
00:15:21What?
00:15:21You had a family then.
00:15:23They were safe in the Highlands, no women in Edinburgh.
00:15:25There wasn't a war then.
00:15:27Which is why this work is even more vital than what we did before.
00:15:31Which is why it's also more dangerous.
00:15:33And these times, this little one can do that isn't dangerous.
00:15:38If I'm going to be killed for something, I should like it to be something that matters.
00:15:42The one who lives.
00:15:44The one who lives.
00:15:47The one who lives.
00:15:48The one who lives.
00:15:58Just promise me you'll be careful.
00:16:03Toujours.
00:16:11Why didn't Uncle Ian come with you, Grandpa?
00:16:14I very much wanted to see you, Arvales.
00:16:16But your new Auntie Rachel is with Charles, so he was eager to get her settled back on the ridge.
00:16:21I kind of fought him for that.
00:16:23Given the lucky side with Bairns.
00:16:26Cookies for breakfast!
00:16:29What are grannies for?
00:16:32There you go.
00:16:35Three dozen, all for me.
00:16:38How do you do that?
00:16:39It's not difficult, Sarsenich.
00:16:41It's easier in counting goats and sheep.
00:16:43After all, cookies don't have legs.
00:16:45Legs?
00:16:46Aye.
00:16:47To know how many goats you have, you must count all the legs and divide by four.
00:16:54Maybe Fanny would be so kind as to help you all count out the morning deliveries before the news goes
00:16:58stale.
00:16:58Come on, lad.
00:17:02Thanks, grannies.
00:17:04You're welcome.
00:17:05Oh, help yourself.
00:17:11Henry Christian seems to be thriving.
00:17:14Aye.
00:17:15Is that joy, are we, lad?
00:17:17Fanny's a sweet lass.
00:17:19And bright, too.
00:17:20She seems remarkably unspoiled for one who grew up in a brothel.
00:17:24Her sister protected her innocence and virtue so far as she could.
00:17:28Still, I mean, it cannot be easy for her.
00:17:31The brothel is not an ideal place for a child, but it is home if that's the only home she's
00:17:35known to.
00:17:36To lose that and her sister as well.
00:17:40That's why we cannot stay much longer.
00:17:42We need to promise to Francis and declare.
00:17:46It's time to go home.
00:17:48We will miss you all terribly.
00:17:51We will miss you, too.
00:17:54But it won't be goodbye.
00:17:56On the au revoir.
00:18:08Are we nearly there?
00:18:09When will we get to Frieza's Ridge?
00:18:12We've been on the ridge the past two days.
00:18:14You mean, all of this is yours?
00:18:17Aye, Leanna.
00:18:19It is ours, as far as your eyes can see.
00:18:21This is our home.
00:18:24Your home.
00:18:33You woke the baby.
00:18:35Damn you!
00:18:38This man was taken into our custody during an altercation with a band of rebels outside of town.
00:18:43He claims to be the ninth Earl of Eelsmere and a former soldier in His Majesty's Army.
00:18:47Captain.
00:18:48I was a captain in His Majesty's Army before I resigned my commission.
00:18:51We believe him to be a spy.
00:18:53He assured us you could offer some clarity on the matter.
00:18:57Yes, I understand the confusion given as his lordship currently appears more like a highwayman than an earl.
00:19:04But I assure you he is, in fact, who he says he is.
00:19:08He poses no threat to our country or our cause.
00:19:12Then I am satisfied.
00:19:14Apologies for the intrusion, my lord.
00:19:16Good day to you.
00:19:22Little fiend is teething.
00:19:24The lack of sleep won't improve his temper.
00:19:28Yours?
00:19:29Surely you just...
00:19:31Allow me to introduce...
00:19:33Trevor, what is, Wade?
00:19:35Gray, your cousin Benjamin's son.
00:19:53This is where you lived.
00:19:56It's so overgrown now.
00:19:59I can hardly believe there was a fire here if I hadn't seen it myself.
00:20:06Yours takes everything back in the end.
00:20:15Ian!
00:20:18Avalik!
00:20:20Ante!
00:20:22Avalik!
00:20:28And you remember Francis, of course.
00:20:30Hi.
00:20:31Welcome to Frieza's Ridge.
00:20:34And Rachel, has the baby...
00:20:36The burn has to come yet.
00:20:37Which will be most pleased to see you.
00:20:39But first, will you lend me a hand with this?
00:20:43Right.
00:20:47What have you done to the corn crib, lad?
00:20:51In the, in...
00:20:51There was stables.
00:20:53Follow me.
00:20:55Something to show you.
00:21:06What in God's name happened to you?
00:21:08A rumour reached me that a turncoat captain may have been fighting with the rebels.
00:21:12Well, our troops captured this city.
00:21:14And you thought that captain was Ezekiel Richardson?
00:21:17I came to find out.
00:21:19None of the rebels would speak to me until I suggested ale and a game of brag.
00:21:26And did you manage to learn the whereabouts of that traitorous bastard?
00:21:30I'm sorry.
00:21:32Did you say that was my cousin's baby?
00:21:35Ben's got a baby.
00:21:37And a wife.
00:21:38I had no idea.
00:21:39But I'm glad you see I'll be most pleased to see him.
00:21:42Has his regiment been transferred?
00:21:44He's, um, not here.
00:21:49William, I, um, I'm very sorry to tell you that Ben is dead.
00:22:02No, that's impossible.
00:22:04He was taken prisoner while not with a raiding party.
00:22:08And held by rebels at Middlebrook and Catman in New Jersey.
00:22:14It was an outbreak of jail fever.
00:22:26I was terribly saddened to hear the news.
00:22:32As I knew you would be, too.
00:22:36I know how much you looked up to him.
00:22:41Who was the commander of this raiding party?
00:22:46How was Ben captured?
00:22:48Were any of his comrades taken with him?
00:23:00I've given you all the information I have.
00:23:03Does Uncle Hal know?
00:23:05Does Henry?
00:23:08Not yet.
00:23:13I've drafted a letter to my brother half a dozen times.
00:23:17But I'm afraid once he finds out that his eldest and favorite son is dead, then...
00:23:24He will die of heartbreak, and...
00:23:28I do not think I could bear that.
00:23:31And the child?
00:23:35Not long after I'd received news of Benjamin's death, a young lady appeared on my doorstep with her baby.
00:23:45Claiming she was, um, Benjamin's widow.
00:23:48It seems the young Lady Grey had fallen into difficult circumstances owing to her husband's absence.
00:24:00And so, um...
00:24:02I invited her to stay.
00:24:04Wait here.
00:24:06You'd never heard of this wife until after you received word of Ben's death?
00:24:14No, I don't believe it.
00:24:15If Ben were married, he would have told me.
00:24:19When is the last time you received a letter from Ben?
00:24:22I'll admit, I allowed our correspondence to lapse after...
00:24:26everything that happened last year.
00:24:28But...
00:24:30But he would have told his brother.
00:24:32And Henry never mentioned anything.
00:24:35The young lady arrived with a bundle of love letters.
00:24:39All sealed with Benjamin's signet ring.
00:24:41And the boy's name, Watiswade, is a family name, not commonly known.
00:24:46I believe her claim.
00:24:47Any charlatan hoping to profit off our family's grief could falsify love letters.
00:24:52Clearly you've been hoodwinked by some... some damn woman.
00:24:55Some damn woman, am I?
00:25:02William, may I present Amaranthus, Bicantus Grey, Benjamin's widow.
00:25:10Ben did speak of a cousin, William.
00:25:13Though he neglected to mention said cousin was a drunkard and a fool.
00:25:19Good day, Uncle John.
00:25:51Welcome home.
00:25:55What have you done, lad? What is this?
00:25:57Built your house for you.
00:25:58Our house?
00:26:00Aye.
00:26:01I took the plans you made before you left.
00:26:03Called everyone together.
00:26:04Beardsley's, the Lindsay's and some of your other archbure men.
00:26:08Tore down the stables.
00:26:09Used that lumber for the start.
00:26:12And when folk got word of what we're about,
00:26:14they'd come by with wood or furnishings they could spare.
00:26:17Leave them just to lend a hand.
00:26:18It's here.
00:26:20Ian, it's beautiful.
00:26:23Don't worry, auntie.
00:26:24Stick tight in my garden for you.
00:26:32I thought I heard voices.
00:26:36Rachel, look at you.
00:26:38You're glowing.
00:26:40How are you?
00:26:41I'm well.
00:26:42Now, would you like to see thy house?
00:26:44Ian, I'm a little bit.
00:26:46Good.
00:26:46You're welcome, Uncle.
00:26:59Well, what do you think?
00:27:05Wow, Ian.
00:27:09It's not just me.
00:27:11A lot of hands.
00:27:12Just like I imagined.
00:27:14These are from the stables.
00:27:16Look at this view.
00:27:18It's a beautiful spot.
00:27:19Oh, it's fantastic.
00:27:21A kitchen.
00:27:29Ken, you need plenty of light for your surgeries.
00:27:33So I made the south-facing windows nice and big.
00:27:39And I built the table for memory.
00:27:40Hope it's the proper height.
00:27:43Is it to my liking, Claire?
00:27:45I don't know what to say.
00:27:52Well, where did you get all these things?
00:27:56Some I found when we passed through Wilmington.
00:27:58The rest is from the new trading post.
00:28:01Irem Crombie's running down by the meeting house.
00:28:09But Ian.
00:28:10Rachel.
00:28:12This is...
00:28:13This is so thoughtful.
00:28:16I'm so overwhelmed.
00:28:18Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a wee bit selfish in putting this together.
00:28:22Seeing as I have your posture patience.
00:28:25Right here.
00:28:26Well, I promise I will take very, very good care of them both.
00:28:33Ah.
00:28:34You're the plans.
00:28:38Francis.
00:28:41Have a look upstairs.
00:28:43Yes.
00:28:58What do you think of this room, Francis?
00:29:00It's nice, Mr. Fraser.
00:29:04So, um...
00:29:05You wouldn't be disappointed
00:29:06if I were to tell you I was thinking it should be yours.
00:29:12I could build you an, uh...
00:29:14And then, uh, moi, over here.
00:29:16If you're close, and, uh...
00:29:18A wee chair.
00:29:19To sit and breathe.
00:29:22If you like.
00:29:24You mean a whole room?
00:29:26For my own?
00:29:29If it suits you.
00:29:33Suits me well.
00:29:46Well...
00:30:00The shape of you and the moonlight, Sathrach.
00:30:04You look just as you did the night we made our face.
00:30:12You know when she was conceived?
00:30:15No.
00:30:15I don't even know that.
00:30:17I really may be wrong, of course, but I always thought it was the night you first told me you
00:30:25loved me.
00:30:28In the Laird's chamber, Lallybroch.
00:30:33You were standing near the window.
00:30:36The moon was streaming in just so as I came to you.
00:30:48You told me that you wanted me from the first time you ever saw me.
00:30:56It had something to do with my hard head and my round arse.
00:31:02Do you recall the occasion?
00:31:19Do you know that was the night Faith was conceived?
00:31:23I wanted you.
00:31:26I wanted you.
00:31:26I had to have you.
00:31:29Once I was inside you, I'd have been content if that was the last thing I ever felt.
00:31:38Then we started.
00:31:41I can't a piece of myself would be inside you forever.
00:31:52Because I was giving you a child.
00:31:54Because I was giving you a child.
00:32:03Because I was giving you a child.
00:32:25The man told me Crombie had a trading post.
00:32:29Didn't expect all this.
00:32:42Mr. and Mrs. Fraser.
00:32:44Boys.
00:32:46We've just heard word of your retorting.
00:32:48Amy.
00:32:50So good to see you again.
00:32:52Mrs. McCallum.
00:32:54We're Aidan.
00:32:55Lori.
00:32:56Not so wee any more, eh, lads?
00:32:59And my name is not McCallum any more either.
00:33:02It's Lindsay now.
00:33:05Evan!
00:33:07McDoo!
00:33:08Evan.
00:33:09Well, congratulations on your new family.
00:33:12Didn't I ken you had it in you?
00:33:13I'm over the moon.
00:33:14Couldn't have a happier.
00:33:16And thank you so much for all your help with the house.
00:33:19Oh, need.
00:33:19The both of you could have done the same thing for any one of us.
00:33:22Beam by beam, it was like a little prayer calling you home.
00:33:27Either my eyes deceive me or the phrases have come back.
00:33:31I bid you both welcome.
00:33:34It's quite an establishment you have here, Mr. Crombie.
00:33:37Well, the Bible instructs us to use our gifts to serve one another as stewards of the grace of God.
00:33:43I've discovered that I'm quite gifted in procuring things that people need.
00:33:47Like this fabric.
00:33:49What do for you, Mrs. Lindsay?
00:33:51That'll do nicely, thank you.
00:33:54May I acquaint you with our enterprise.
00:33:59So good to see you again.
00:34:09We have many fine fabrics. And these just arrived.
00:34:13And here you'll find the tools of your trade, Mrs. Fraser.
00:34:18Oh, it would be so nice not to have to send to Willems Creek for some of these.
00:34:24You don't happen to have any Jesuit bark hidden somewhere.
00:34:28That's another name for cinchona bark, is it not?
00:34:31It is.
00:34:32Mrs. Beardsley was asking for the very same thing just yesterday.
00:34:35We shall have to procure some, Mr. Crombie.
00:34:37I was actually looking for it to make a tonic for her.
00:34:41Ah.
00:34:41I don't believe we have the pleasure of your acquaintance, sir.
00:34:44Ah, forgive me.
00:34:46This is Captain Charles Cunningham.
00:34:48He is my partner in this endeavor.
00:34:52Captain, these are the Frasers.
00:34:54Newly returned.
00:34:55General and Mrs. Fraser, I am so pleased to finally meet you.
00:35:00It's been rather strange for my mother and I to live on this land never having met its owners.
00:35:05Partners, he said.
00:35:06When I arrived on Fraser's Ridge, it seemed a bit of commerce might do some good.
00:35:11As fate would have it, Mr. Crombie had been having similar thoughts.
00:35:15But not the means to put them into action.
00:35:17I had a small pension to contribute to his inspiration.
00:35:21Still, he is modest in calling us partners.
00:35:23Mr. Crombie does the work.
00:35:25I am merely content to sit at my desk and help out when I can.
00:35:29Thank you both.
00:35:30It seems you've achieved a great deal in our absence.
00:35:34And I thank you, General.
00:35:37For this place, my mother and I are so fortunate to call home.
00:35:41Now, if you'll pardon me, I was on my way out.
00:35:44I will accompany you, if I may.
00:35:48Will you follow me, Mrs. Fraser?
00:35:50Yes, actually, Mr. Crombie.
00:35:54Captain, I must invite you to call me Mr. Fraser.
00:35:58Having resigned my commission following the battle at Monmouth, I have no further association with the Continental Landry.
00:36:05Well, that's modest of you, sir.
00:36:07I've usually found that any man who's held a military post of any pretension clings to his title for life.
00:36:12No, mine was merely a temporary appointment.
00:36:16But I do ken there are many fine officers who deserve to retain their titles after long and honourable service.
00:36:24I'm sure it's the case with you, Captain.
00:36:26Well, yes, you are correct that I'm retired.
00:36:31Though I prefer to retain the appellation of Captain less as a measure of honour and more because I've never
00:36:37much liked the name Charles.
00:36:41But with all honesty, after 30 years serving in his majesty's army, I suppose I'm simply used to it.
00:36:51You fought for the king, ma'am?
00:36:54Yes.
00:36:55But I laid down my sword for good after the Battle of Bemis Heights.
00:37:01I understand you two were at Saratoga.
00:37:05Bye.
00:37:11And we were a bit on opposite sides of the sea battlefield.
00:37:18War is a terrible thing.
00:37:22I am most happy to be done with it.
00:37:31How did you come to settle here on the ridge?
00:37:34Like a good many others, I came to North Carolina because I had acquaintances here.
00:37:39Two of my former officers are from Salisbury.
00:37:41I visited their families and then I walked until my legs could carry me no farther.
00:37:47Until I found a place beautiful enough to bring me some peace.
00:37:52And here I was.
00:38:02Cunningham is a charming fellow.
00:38:05He certainly gained some influence while we were away.
00:38:09I'd be wise to ken him better.
00:38:12That would be the prudent thing to do.
00:38:16Especially since he's a redcoat.
00:38:19He's retired. With me.
00:38:22Since he's done with the war.
00:38:24I have no reason not to take the man at his word.
00:38:27Though, I do wonder if the war is done with him.
00:38:30Well, I suppose someone could wonder the same thing about you.
00:38:34Trust me, Satznak. I'm done.
00:38:37Whether the war likes it or no.
00:39:01The hair of the dog that bit you.
00:39:03Good God, what is that?
00:39:05The recipe is proprietary.
00:39:07But the results cannot be argued with.
00:39:11Drink up.
00:39:21I need you to dine with General Prevost in an hour.
00:39:25Perhaps you care to accompany me?
00:39:30His cook is far superior to mine.
00:39:34And despite an unfortunate lack of humour, the man is a decent soldier.
00:39:39Ambitious.
00:39:40I know what you were doing.
00:39:42It will not work.
00:39:44Frankly, I'm surprised you were trying to entice me back into the army,
00:39:47considering how opposed you were to my joining in the first place.
00:39:50Idleness and wallowing do not suit you, William.
00:39:57And though it was dreadfully unfortunate, the British army is not to blame for what happened to Miss Pocock.
00:40:09No.
00:40:12I swore to protect her.
00:40:15I am to blame.
00:40:17And that devil of a turncoat Richardson.
00:40:19I, too, want Richardson to pay for his actions.
00:40:23And he will.
00:40:25But there are ways to go about it that perhaps entail less drinking oneself into oblivion.
00:40:31Night after night.
00:40:36Well, if you're truly finished with the army, perhaps it is time you return to England.
00:40:42Although it would pain me to part with you again so soon.
00:40:46You've attained your majority and therefore you can manage your estates.
00:40:49My steward is doing more than adequate job.
00:40:52Your steward is not the ninth Earl of Ellesmere, William.
00:40:55You are.
00:40:56By way of cockledry.
00:40:57And a lie.
00:40:58Or be that as it may.
00:41:00Your mother was married to the eighth Earl of Ellesmere at the time of your birth.
00:41:05Therefore the title is yours by law.
00:41:07Then how does one go about renouncing a title?
00:41:09You cannot.
00:41:10You mean I shall not?
00:41:12No, you cannot!
00:41:18A peerage is the gift of a grateful monarch.
00:41:22There are no means set down in law for renouncing it.
00:41:25A monarch who ceases to be grateful can strip a peer of his title,
00:41:29though the only grounds for that which come to mind are engaging in rebellion against the crown.
00:41:35Treason?
00:41:35The portrayal of your king and country hardly seems like a suitable means of solving your personal difficulties.
00:41:42It might be easier to ask what you want to do rather than asking how not to do what you
00:41:51don't.
00:41:52It might be easier to know what I want to do if I knew who I bloody was.
00:41:58At a certain point I suppose it is up to you to decide who you want to be and to
00:42:03act accordingly.
00:42:09Whether you choose to call yourself Ransom, Fraser or Grey,
00:42:13no man with any claim to your parentage would tolerate the way you treated Lady Grey yesterday.
00:42:19That is something I insist you remedy.
00:42:33I kind of say bees are the most traditional homecoming gift, but it's very thoughtful of you, Lizzie.
00:42:39Well, I've always wanted my own hive, so thank you.
00:42:42We'll build a proper home for them.
00:42:45From a safe distance from the house.
00:42:47I'm so glad to have you both back.
00:42:49As soon as there's a fresh bit of honey, we'll bring some over for you and Kezi and Desire.
00:42:57So lovely to see you again, Lizzie.
00:42:59And so good to meet you, my little namesake, wee Claire.
00:43:05Good mama.
00:43:08We'll see you both again soon.
00:43:10Night.
00:43:13Bees.
00:43:14Very sociable and curious, which only makes sense.
00:43:19Going back and forth all day, sharing news with their pollen.
00:43:22That's one way to put it.
00:43:25Do you think that bees are the link between our world and the spirit world?
00:43:29That's why you tell them what's happening.
00:43:33You do?
00:43:34Eh.
00:43:35If someone should come to visit, or a new bairn should be born, or a settler should depart or die,
00:43:42I'm gonna tell the bees they'll take offense and all of them will just fly away.
00:43:45We can't have that then, can we?
00:43:47That's why we can't.
00:44:07Ha-ha-ha.
00:44:08Hello, the house.
00:44:11Oh, my God.
00:44:32Oh, my God.
00:44:34Could you have a mind of you, of course, or of course?
00:44:37Landa!
00:44:38That shall be landing Lampa.
00:44:42Is it Manny?
00:44:44She got it.
00:44:46Oh, darling.
00:44:51Is it Manny?
00:44:53Manny.
00:44:56I'll catch you.
00:44:57I can't believe it.
00:44:59I ain't had a third one to see you again.
00:45:00What are you doing here?
00:45:02We all need to come home.
00:45:12It doesn't matter now, lass.
00:45:14Yes, yes.
00:45:16We all are.
00:45:27Our house is your house.
00:45:29You cannot well enough.
00:45:30You can stay here till we build you one of your own.
00:45:37Manny is so sweet with Mandy.
00:45:40How does she come to be living with you?
00:45:43She's a wee orphan lass.
00:45:46Your brother took her under his protection and trusted her to us.
00:45:51William.
00:45:53Does that mean he knows that you're his father?
00:45:55He does.
00:45:58I take it he's not too happy about that.
00:46:01Doesn't appear so.
00:46:03Give him time.
00:46:12Mommy, pick me a story.
00:46:15Uh, what's the magic word?
00:46:17Please.
00:46:19What do you think?
00:46:22Why not?
00:46:24Go get him.
00:46:25Mm-hmm.
00:46:26He brought a book for the beards.
00:46:27Reach me, Granda, please.
00:46:29Ah, all right.
00:46:33Ah, let's see.
00:46:41Ah.
00:46:43It's like a painting.
00:46:46Ah.
00:46:58It's like a painting.
00:47:02Ah.
00:47:04Ah, yes.
00:47:04And there were three little bears sitting on chairs.
00:47:08Well, bears likely eat a chair, a set of one, and, well, three of them together make a meal of
00:47:13anyone close by wanting to count.
00:47:19Lovely bit of nonsense.
00:47:21I feel like I can it.
00:47:22Because I told you about it years ago.
00:47:25We were on a ship to Jamaica.
00:47:26And I was missing Bree.
00:47:28Well, why don't you all go and finish the book in the other room?
00:47:31Well, the adults chat, will you?
00:47:34Jem, you can read it to them.
00:47:38I hope it's all right Fanny saw that book.
00:47:40She won't know it's modern, will she?
00:47:41Ah, well, she's certainly never seen anything like it, but I'm sure it's fine.
00:47:45This one is for you.
00:47:49Oh, Bree.
00:47:51Oh, it's marvellous.
00:47:54Let me see, Marianne.
00:48:01The Merc Manual.
00:48:0313th edition.
00:48:04Popular writer.
00:48:05Either that or he's made a devil lot of mistakes.
00:48:07It's a medical book.
00:48:09Hmm.
00:48:10Controlling the spread of e-histolytica requires prevention of access of human feces to the mouth.
00:48:17Hmm.
00:48:18It's, uh, what folk have learned about healing.
00:48:21I'm guessing you care not to eat shade.
00:48:23Yes, darling.
00:48:26I can't begin to imagine what they've discovered since I left.
00:48:30And I think you will like this one, duh?
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:36Do you like it?
00:48:40Frodo Baggins.
00:48:42Yeah.
00:48:43A Welshman.
00:48:45No.
00:48:46Not exactly.
00:48:47It's one of Jem's favourites.
00:48:49Mine too, actually.
00:48:51I think the tale might speak to you.
00:48:54Thank you kindly.
00:49:07Where are you at?
00:49:08Minister.
00:49:10I'll let you make.
00:49:11In the future.
00:49:13No.
00:49:15No.
00:49:15No.
00:49:15No, I was, uh, so full of doubt after everything that happened.
00:49:21But, uh, well, now that we're back, or whatever you decide, new folk have settled on the ridge since you
00:49:28left.
00:49:29You should go about, introduce yourself.
00:49:34There's a man by the name of Cunningham who helped open the new trading post.
00:49:40I'd be curious to Ken what you might think of him.
00:49:43Anything you might learn.
00:49:44No.
00:49:46No.
00:49:48No.
00:49:49A few checkups, but other than that.
00:49:50The children are remarkable.
00:49:52Listening to a heart you'd never have known anything was wrong.
00:49:55The kids are finally asleep.
00:49:57I'm both.
00:49:58I'm still gonna believe it.
00:49:59The sight of you.
00:50:00Here.
00:50:02I weren't even sure if the letters would reach you when we left them at the bank.
00:50:06Or as a, well, uh, an inheritance, I suppose.
00:50:11We thought you should ken what had become of us.
00:50:13We'd never have dreamed you'd have used them to find your way back to us.
00:50:19To coming home.
00:50:21To family.
00:50:23Slanger.
00:50:29Yeah.
00:50:31I brought back another book.
00:50:34I didn't want to show it in front of the kids, but...
00:50:42Soul of a Rebel.
00:50:44Scottish Roots of the American Revolution.
00:50:47By Franklin W. Randall, PhD.
00:50:52It's the research that he was doing before he died.
00:50:55It was published after we had both left.
00:50:59Did you find it useful?
00:51:01I started to open it, but...
00:51:03I couldn't even get past the jacket.
00:51:05I knew that if I read it, it would...
00:51:07That would feel like losing him all over again.
00:51:10Same with your letters, actually.
00:51:13We, uh...
00:51:14We spaced them out because as long as there were still unopened ones...
00:51:18You were still alive.
00:51:23Something must have happened...
00:51:25For you to...
00:51:27Come back...
00:51:28And love a war.
00:51:30No, no.
00:51:32Something happened.
00:51:34A lot of things.
00:51:37I suppose there are...
00:51:40There's something we need to tell you, too.
00:51:43About Fanny.
00:51:45About Fanny.
00:51:45And your sister.
00:51:48Faith.
00:52:14Lady Grey, I owe you an apology.
00:52:18When you first came upon me yesterday, I had only just learned of my cousin's passing.
00:52:23I was in shock.
00:52:25Still, that is no excuse for my ungentlemanly behaviour.
00:52:29I beg your forgiveness for it.
00:52:34Well...
00:52:35I suppose I was not altogether kind, either.
00:52:38I tend to have rather a sharp tongue when piqued.
00:52:40You had every reason.
00:52:49We did marry rather in haste.
00:52:52Benjamin wrote to tell his father of the union, but the letter appears to have gone astray.
00:52:56So...
00:52:57I suppose a modicum of scepticism is to be expected.
00:53:02You have my deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband, madam.
00:53:07And you?
00:53:09On the loss of your cousin?
00:53:11I beg your pardon.
00:53:13I'm a bit overcome with emotion.
00:53:15Quite understandable, given the circumstances.
00:53:20Hmm.
00:53:22He likes being outside.
00:53:25Brush air calms him.
00:53:32He looks quite like Benjamin.
00:53:37I hope I don't give you pain by saying so.
00:53:41No.
00:53:43No, it's a reminder.
00:53:45The love that bore him.
00:53:48I suppose that's some consolation.
00:53:52I do not have any siblings.
00:53:54Ben and Henry were like brothers to me.
00:53:58He said as much about you.
00:54:00And perhaps, when Trevor is older,
00:54:04you can tell him of his father.
00:54:06Man to man.
00:54:10It pains me that I'll have no memory of him.
00:54:15No knowledge of who he was in the world.
00:54:24I promise.
00:54:25I shall do all I can for Trevor.
00:54:30And for you, Lady Grey.
00:54:39This Robert Cameron read our letters, he said.
00:54:43Yes.
00:54:44And he not only kins about the Jacobite gold,
00:54:47but he knows where we live.
00:54:49When we live.
00:54:51He wants to stop him coming after you.
00:54:54Nothing.
00:54:55If he can time travel.
00:54:57But if he could, then why hasn't he done it already?
00:55:01A sane man kind of gets the mind of a mad one.
00:55:06Oh.
00:55:07We figured if no time is completely safe,
00:55:10they'll all be together.
00:55:12I cannot believe I put me Jeremiah in danger.
00:55:15As soon as we're back at the house,
00:55:17I'll move the gold.
00:55:18That way, if Cameron does come looking,
00:55:20we'll have no way to find it.
00:55:22Safe through me.
00:55:27My God.
00:55:39I know there are brands for thieves,
00:55:41but what is GR?
00:55:43George Rex.
00:55:45Kicking George.
00:55:48These men are hanging from Loyalus.
00:55:52There are devils on both sides of this world.
00:56:09Where is your father, child?
00:56:11I don't know.
00:56:11This is his realtor.
00:56:14I wish to speak to your father.
00:56:21Stop there.
00:56:22Look at me.
00:56:24Why?
00:56:26You are a very impertinent, child.
00:56:29And your father should beat you.
00:56:32You look like the wicked witch.
00:56:33Fly away in your broom.
00:56:34What in the name of perdition do you mean by that?
00:56:38You wicked child.
00:56:39Fly away in your broom, you mean old lady.
00:56:43That really hurt.
00:56:47He'll leave my house.
00:56:48The girl spoke to me rudely, sir, and I will not have it.
00:56:51Evidently no one has sought to discipline her correctly.
00:56:54So no wonder.
00:56:55Speaking of rudeness,
00:56:56don't believe I've had the honor of your acquaintance.
00:56:59I'm Claire Fraser.
00:57:03My son mentioned you were looking for this.
00:57:15You are all undoubtedly going to hell.
00:57:29Who the devil was that?
00:57:30The wicked witch of the West.
00:57:33I hate her.
00:57:34When?
00:57:36Jesus H. Roosevelt, Christ.
00:57:40Just brought me Jesuit to bark.
00:57:43In that case,
00:57:45I think perhaps that witch,
00:57:46Mrs. Cunningham.
00:58:07Is it my face you see looming in the darkness?
00:58:17Why do you not tell me that Frank Randall looked like Blackjack?
00:58:27I haven't thought about that in a very long time.
00:58:31I remember being startled by the resemblance, but...
00:58:35I mean, once I was acquainted with Blackjack,
00:58:38that quickly wore off.
00:58:41Even because they were so different.
00:58:47You should have told me.
00:58:52I suppose I should have, but...
00:58:54Well, at first,
00:58:55how could I have explained that to you?
00:58:59And then after, well, I...
00:59:01I didn't know how.
00:59:05I thought you might have been upset
00:59:08that I had married someone who looked so much like Blackjack Randall.
00:59:12I might have been upset.
00:59:15There'd been no point.
00:59:21You are mine.
00:59:35Was he an honest man?
00:59:38Frank.
00:59:40For the most part.
00:59:42He kept secrets, but then again, so did I.
00:59:46Can I trust him, do you think?
00:59:50About what he's written?
00:59:52He was an historian.
00:59:55He wouldn't write something that he knew to be false.
00:59:58Why?
01:00:00Because he mentions my name.
01:00:03Fourteen times, so far.
01:00:09You're in the book.
01:00:12No.
01:00:14What does it say?
01:00:16That war is coming to the backcountry.
01:00:19He says there'll be a battle in about a year's time
01:00:22at a place called King's Mountain.
01:00:25And that James Fraser dies in it.
01:00:46He's a very incredible man who's rich.
01:00:46He knows how to live his life.
01:00:46He's a great man.
01:00:46He knew it, he no one.
01:00:57He's going to get his kids off.
01:00:57I mean, the thing is a good man.
01:01:59I'm so scared to lose you again.
01:02:03I'm not certain I will fight, Cleopatra.
01:02:05We need to be ready, regardless of the book.
01:02:07If anything were to happen to me, would you stay here?
01:02:10Nothing's gonna happen to you.
01:02:12Many of your countrymen, like myself, are raising our own militia.
01:02:16You're asking me to fight with you.
01:02:17It won't be today, will it?
01:02:19You're not coming back, are you?
01:02:21We can't change the course of history.
01:02:23Lord knows we've tried.
01:02:24There was something amiss here.
01:02:26I know it.
01:02:27I know you've seen some terrible things.
01:02:30I have to.
01:02:34Hold on to me, Cleopatra.
01:02:37Always.
