00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day.
00:00:08Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth.
00:00:11Our debts will be cleared.
00:00:13Father's honor restored.
00:00:48Liz, please forgive me. I can't do this. I won't be traded off to some man.
00:00:53I'm so sorry it had to be you who found this. Don't come looking for me.
00:00:56Jane.
00:00:59Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Winding,
00:01:02the Fenwick family will be ruined completely?
00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it.
00:01:20Indeed. If not for some old favor the Fenwicks once did the late Earl,
00:01:24it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47I know.
00:01:51Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:53There's no time.
00:02:00The End
00:02:01Horizons
00:02:02The Due
00:02:04I don't know.
00:02:34That is not Jane Fenwick.
00:02:35That's the younger sister.
00:02:37The younger sister?
00:02:38But she's...
00:02:39The illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth?
00:02:49Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:52How could you replace my legitimate daughter
00:02:54and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:58Regina, please.
00:02:59Not here.
00:03:01I can call her.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:06You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord.
00:03:11I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation
00:03:13and I fully intend to give you one.
00:03:17My lord, I know this isn't what you agreed to.
00:03:20I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:26Marry me.
00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:36Ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:38I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:40It is my honour to present to you
00:03:44my bride.
00:03:58On the night of my sister's wedding,
00:04:01I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:17His lordship was called away to London on urgent business.
00:04:19You may move to Thormitt later today.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:30He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:33Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:35Oh, is this some kind of punishment
00:04:38for taking my sister's place?
00:04:40diving around?
00:04:59Okay.
00:05:01That was my Lord!

00:16:10Edward
00:16:18This isn't helpful
00:16:49Letta
00:17:05God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:08I must be out of my mind
00:17:10My lady, breakfast is ready
00:17:15Coming!
00:17:29I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety
00:17:38He arranged all of this, what does he take me for?
00:17:41It would appear that his lordship is determined to keep you abundantly supplied
00:17:55I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening
00:18:07Lady Wyndham, how lovely to find you here
00:18:13And all on your own
00:18:16Rupert, you know Lady Wyndham, I believe
00:18:18Miss Fenwick
00:18:22My apologies, Lady Winford
00:18:23The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit
00:18:26Good evening, Miss Vane
00:18:28Mr. Bellamy
00:18:30Rupert and I have some happy news
00:18:32We're to be formally engaged at the McKeelmas Hall
00:18:35Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me
00:18:38Though, I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait
00:18:41Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional
00:18:45Years of acquaintance
00:18:47Shared society
00:18:48A genuine understanding of one another's character
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously
00:18:58My lady
00:19:00A message for you
00:19:07Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight
00:19:10Enjoy the party
00:19:16Another entire evening to yourself
00:19:18One cannot help but wonder
00:19:20Had you known?
00:19:22Why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothy
00:19:26I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely
00:19:30Come, Rupert
00:19:31It's been ages since I last danced
00:19:33You must indulge me this evening
00:19:52Lady Wyndham
00:19:53What a fortunate coincidence
00:19:55Mr. Bellamy
00:19:56I assume your fiancé is inside
00:19:58Ah, yes
00:19:59I stepped out for some air
00:20:00And seemed to have lost my way
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford
00:20:05Marriage suits you
00:20:06Thank you, I believe I should return home
00:20:08No need to hurry
00:20:08It's a fine night
00:20:09That's enough, Mr. Bellamy
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth
00:20:12A woman as young as you
00:20:14As lovely as you
00:20:17Deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband
00:20:19That's enough!
00:20:21Mr. Bellamy
00:20:22I mean it kindly
00:20:34I mean it kindly
00:20:35Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:37My lady
00:20:38I'm coming
00:20:51Lady Wyndham
00:20:53You are going the wrong way
00:20:55Allow me to show you out
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellamy
00:21:06Leave these grounds at once
00:21:10And who exactly is meant to make it?
00:21:22There is no need to be alarmed
00:21:24I only wish to talk
00:21:26Then speak from where you stand
00:21:30My dear
00:21:35Stop!
00:21:39What do you think you're doing?
00:21:43Dorothea, you must forgive me
00:21:44I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation
00:21:48Lady Wyndham sought me out
00:21:49Elizabeth!
00:21:50How dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this?
00:21:53That is not...
00:21:54I mean no disrespect
00:21:55But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain
00:21:58Good lord
00:21:59Did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:04I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable
00:22:08I shall inform Lord Edward at once
00:22:10He'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation
00:22:12Now, apologise to my fiancé
00:22:14At once
00:22:16Miss Vane
00:22:17You will address me correctly
00:22:18Or you will not address me at all
00:22:20You are not worth the courtesy
00:22:38My lord
00:22:38Thank god you're here
00:22:40Lady Winford approached Rupert herself
00:22:42We were only trying to...
00:22:44When did he arrive?
00:22:46How much did he hear?
00:22:47Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward?
00:23:03My apologies
00:23:04I seem to have arrived a moment too late
00:23:09Good lord
00:23:10Has Lord Wyndham really ruined a hundred year old Yen Mays?
00:23:14For a wife of such low birth
00:23:20Let every person here who has dishonoured my wife hear me
00:23:24Before this night is over, you will regret it
00:23:27Yes, my lord
00:23:28Edward
00:23:28What?
00:23:30My lord
00:23:31I am your cousin
00:23:32You cannot treat me like this
00:23:35If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter
00:23:39I've over fifty others just like you
00:23:46Greatable girl
00:23:47What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:52You wretched boy
00:23:53I paid off your gambling seats with the Earl's own money
00:23:57How dare you make yourself a nuisance before him and his wife?
00:24:03You have endured enough
00:24:05Home awaits us
00:24:10Edward, you must know
00:24:11I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out
00:24:13I...
00:24:14I know
00:24:14I know precisely what kind of man he is
00:24:17I believe you, Elizabeth
00:24:19We have been married for a few days now
00:24:21We have
00:24:23And I find I know remarkably little about you
00:24:26I believe goes both ways
00:24:28Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that
00:24:31We might begin
00:24:33With a kiss
00:24:35He's asking to kiss me
00:24:37On horseback
00:24:38Out in the open
00:24:39In the middle of the night
00:24:40God knows how long I've waited for this moment
00:24:44You have my permission
00:25:01It's alright
00:25:03He's settled now
00:25:10We're home
00:25:14My lord
00:25:14My lady
00:25:22I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth
00:25:25Shortly
00:25:26What does he mean shortly?
00:25:28Tonight
00:25:29I thought I had rather expected
00:25:31I seem to have expected it more than I realized
00:25:33Yes
00:25:33Shortly then
00:25:49Of course
00:25:51Of all nights
00:25:52It would be this one
00:26:02Come in
00:26:06There's something I must tell you
00:26:07It concerns a
00:26:09Domestic matter
00:26:12I see
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:19Please God
00:26:20Let him understand
00:26:21Without making me say it outright
00:26:23Come
00:26:34No
00:26:36Not like this
00:26:38How are you feeling?
00:26:41Rather better
00:26:42Thank you
00:26:42Forgive me
00:26:44Elizabeth
00:26:44Yes
00:26:45Stop apologizing
00:26:47Yes
00:26:47Yes
00:26:48Very well
00:26:52Elizabeth
00:26:53Elizabeth
00:26:53What do you think?
00:27:19Elizabeth.
00:27:31He's gone.
00:27:33Of course he's gone.
00:27:34I failed him last night.
00:27:37Come in.
00:28:02There's something wrong.
00:28:05No.
00:28:06No, nothing.
00:28:10I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:13Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm as chocolate, if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:39You have.
00:28:44This hand is still warm.
00:28:50I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end.
00:28:54My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:59Yes.
00:29:00I should like it that very much.
00:29:05I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfillment of our marital obligation.
00:29:16Yes.
00:29:17Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:20I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:27I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:30I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:34I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:37I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:41I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:42I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:43I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:43I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:43I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:45I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:49I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:29:54I feel quite confident I shall be.
00:30:06Go on, Vale will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:12Of course.
00:30:37Please.
00:30:52That's Edward's mother.
00:30:54She looks so young to find.
00:31:00Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:04I am...
00:31:13Lady Windham.
00:31:16I had wondered when we should meet.
00:31:19I am Cecilia.
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:25She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:26That's her.
00:31:28Cecilia Marlock.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:33The woman Edward makes love to find.
00:31:38Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:38Lady Adelaine, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:43Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden.
00:31:47shall we? Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here. Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:59She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:16So you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy. After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has
00:32:22suffered.
00:32:24I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked. Elizabeth, this is Georgiana, we call her Georgie. Georgie,
00:32:29this is Elizabeth.
00:32:30Ah, the new Lady Wyndham. And what do you do for amusement? I read, I write. I am sure Lady
00:32:37Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:39Of course she does, most people do, when they can't shoot. No offence, Elizabeth, it simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:45Not everyone has it.
00:32:47Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try, it is only fair to offer. Oh, by all means, bring another gun.
00:32:55A gun for beginners.
00:32:59Do you know your way around guns?
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing. You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:18Well.
00:33:21You had three. I should not be greedy.
00:33:36Mother.
00:33:37Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:39She found me.
00:33:41I like her.
00:33:45So do I.
00:33:51Come in.
00:33:57My mother asked me to convey her apologies.
00:34:01She had no intention of neglecting you today.
00:34:03I understand.
00:34:05Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agree with all.
00:34:11It's Friday.
00:34:13So it is.
00:34:14I must admit, I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.
00:34:19Nor am I.
00:34:24I should warn you, there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:27Twenty-three.
00:34:31I see.
00:34:46I confess I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...
00:34:52Elizabeth.
00:34:54You are not supposed to do anything.
00:35:04The desk.
00:35:06I thought you might find it easier to begin with.
00:35:10I did not realize how warm his hands would feel.
00:35:22Breathe.
00:35:23Breathe.
00:35:25You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:34Are you ready?
00:35:36I...
00:35:41I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:44Let's begin.
00:35:46Let's begin.
00:35:48Let's begin.
00:36:28All right.
00:36:29You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:35Elizabeth Winwen, née Fenwork.
00:36:38You arrived at my door this morning, wearing the very expression of a woman who has just discovered something rather
00:36:43surprising about the world.
00:36:45Was it?
00:36:47Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incredible.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend, and I deserve details.
00:36:53Was he...
00:36:54He was...
00:36:56Considerate.
00:36:59Extraordinary so.
00:37:00How?
00:37:02He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:06Before anything else.
00:37:08Several times, in fact.
00:37:11Good Lord.
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:14And afterward.
00:37:15In the morning.
00:37:19He said, come back to bed.
00:37:22As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:24Only meant to return.
00:37:26He held my hand.
00:37:30Lizzie.
00:37:32I don't.
00:37:34You like him.
00:37:37I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:45We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:55We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:57Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:59There's a plank in the ditch.
00:38:02Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:15Lizzie.
00:38:17How can you pass?
00:38:29Same as ever.
00:38:31Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:33The road found me.
00:38:35I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:38Of course you were.
00:38:40You always were.
00:38:43Edgar Lemus.
00:38:44A distant son.
00:38:45The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:49Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean.
00:38:53Then he left for Italy.
00:38:56Is that...
00:38:57Edgar?
00:38:58I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:09I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox.
00:39:11I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:13Forgive me, I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:16I hope you are well, Lady Wind.
00:39:18I am.
00:39:20Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:39:31Six years without a word.
00:39:32And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34You didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not.
00:39:37Lord Wyndham is worth ten of him.
00:39:38You know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come, the road is clear now.
00:39:49She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:51A married woman smiling at a man like that, out in the open road.
00:39:54She stepped away from him, Georgie.
00:39:56That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward.
00:39:59I shall tell him exactly what I saw, and he will...
00:40:01Do as you think best, my dear.
00:40:04You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:17Edward, there's something I must tell you.
00:40:19It concerns your wife.
00:40:21Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:23I was riding this morning, along the north road.
00:40:26I saw her, with a man.
00:40:28They were standing awfully close together, and he...
00:40:30Close together, you say?
00:40:32Why, yes, and he...
00:40:33He took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:36And then?
00:40:37She drew back in the end.
00:40:39But she knew him well, Edward.
00:40:40He called her Lizzie.
00:40:42What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox.
00:40:44Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son,
00:40:48and the one who has been off painting in Italy for the past six years.
00:40:51Then you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:53You followed her?
00:40:54No.
00:40:55I just happened to be passing by.
00:40:57Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windham.
00:41:02She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:03Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time.
00:41:07Such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar country woman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgina.
00:41:19Edgar Lennox.
00:41:23My lady, his lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:29Did he indicate the purpose of said inquiry?
00:41:31He said he'd like to, and I quote precisely, take you out for a ride.
00:41:35He mentioned the North Meadow.
00:41:38Please convey to his lordship that I shall be ready in twenty minutes.
00:41:41Of course, my lady.
00:41:50Georgiana paid me a visit this morning.
00:41:52I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather.
00:41:56You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning.
00:42:04I did.
00:42:06Our carriage came to grief in the mud.
00:42:08He assisted with freeing the wheel.
00:42:12Georgiana is young, and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment.
00:42:16I thought you should know that I sent her right away.
00:42:18He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me.
00:42:22It's because he wished to inform me he sent Georgiana away.
00:42:26He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:30Thank you, Edward.
00:42:32For what?
00:42:33We're married, you need not thank me.
00:42:36Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy.
00:42:39He may want to consider spending six more.
00:42:42The further he remains from my wife, the better.
00:42:52I cannot believe this.
00:42:53He sent me away.
00:42:58Tell me what happened.
00:43:04He accused me of following her.
00:43:06He is a loyal man, always has been.
00:43:08And now his loyalty is wasted on the wrong person.
00:43:11Has he any engagements away from Thornwood?
00:43:15He leaves for Dutcher on Thursday.
00:43:19He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:30Edward chose her.
00:43:35Very well.
00:43:37Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:50She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:18East Wing, old timber frames.
00:44:20It's three stories of curtains, things in correspondence.
00:44:24And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:27And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:37Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:40Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:44:56Elizabeth!
00:45:09My lord!
00:45:10It began in the lower store in...
00:45:11Where's Lady Winder?
00:45:12We have not been able to find Lady Winder.
00:45:15But we brought someone out from the East Wing.
00:45:18A man.
00:45:20Elizabeth!
00:45:21She's still inside!
00:45:27I'm just how are you so sure Lady Winder is in there?
00:45:30What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:34Edward, I'm so sorry.
00:45:35I did not wish to be the one...
00:45:36What is that in your hand?
00:45:39Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:42I received a note.
00:45:43I believed it to be...
00:45:44You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:49Edward, you must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:53Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:55Of course she's inside.
00:45:56That wicked adult is sure to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:46:02Edward!
00:46:06Miss Doak!
00:46:07It's not safe in there!
00:46:10My brother!
00:46:11Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:13Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:17He ran headfirst into that fire.
00:46:20For her.
00:46:29Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:31Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:32And you!
00:46:33What are you doing here?
00:46:35You're not stuck in the fire!
00:46:37Why on earth would I venture to the East Wing in the middle of the night?
00:46:40You wretched creature.
00:46:42How did you get so lucky?
00:46:43No matter.
00:46:44Edward just ran to his death.
00:46:46You had no one to rely on me.
00:46:47And as a duchess, shall we my god-begin right to walk all over you.
00:46:51My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire!
00:46:54You what?
00:46:55Why?
00:46:56Elizabeth!
00:46:58Elizabeth!
00:46:59My brother is still in there!
00:47:00What do we do?
00:47:01He ran in because he thought you were trapped inside!
00:47:03Oh dear, how did this happen?
00:47:05Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:06No!
00:47:10No!
00:47:12No!
00:47:14She didn't write that note.
00:47:17She can't have given that note.
00:47:25It was you!
00:47:28Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:31No!
00:47:32I had nothing to do with that letter!
00:47:34He's slandering me!
00:47:38Edward!
00:47:43Elizabeth, go back.
00:47:56Foolish woman.
00:47:57Reckless man.
00:48:08I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're sleeping.
00:48:16I...
00:48:17I was wrong about that.
00:48:25Not every wife would run into a burning building for her husband.
00:48:28Why did you do it?
00:48:30You went in there for me.
00:48:31I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:33Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:34Whatever am I going to do with you?
00:48:37You.
00:48:53Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:57Edward.
00:48:59That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:49:02I know.
00:49:02As it happens, I also received a note.
00:49:05Signed with Edgar's name.
00:49:06But I did not go to meet him.
00:49:08I'm glad to hear that.
00:49:11That's all?
00:49:14It was Cecilia.
00:49:16She did all of this.
00:49:20Cecilia.
00:49:22She is my mother's goddaughter.
00:49:24She grew up around us.
00:49:26There was a time when certain...
00:49:28arrangements were considered.
00:49:30By my mother.
00:49:31By Cecilia's family.
00:49:33I knew they were in favor of her.
00:49:35Who were you?
00:49:36I've never made any promises to Cecilia.
00:49:39If she had hopes, they were not hopes I invited or confirmed.
00:49:43As for me...
00:49:45I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:52Edgar Lenniston and I, we grew up together as well.
00:49:55He taught me to make charcoal drawings.
00:49:58That is the whole of it, Edward.
00:50:00There's nothing more.
00:50:01Well then.
00:50:03Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:05Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:09It's Friday today.
00:50:11Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:13There are about two hours left until dawn.
00:50:16Perhaps you might like to watch the sunrise with me?
00:50:21Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:29May I?
00:50:31Yes, you may.
00:50:40This.
00:50:42This.
00:50:43This is what home feels like.
00:50:54My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensville has called upon you.
00:50:58I informed her that you are not at leisure, but she still has not taken her leave.
00:51:04Show her in, Henry.
00:51:11Thank you for seeing me, Edward.
00:51:13Say what you have come to say, Cecilia.
00:51:16You know very well why I am here.
00:51:19Georgiana won't see me.
00:51:20Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.
00:51:24And you've issued a formal notice.
00:51:25I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth, nor at any Wyndham property in the county.
00:51:30That's correct.
00:51:32Edward, please.
00:51:33We've known each other since we were little.
00:51:35You carried me home on your back when I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest.
00:51:39Yes, I recall.
00:51:40I also recall that during that same autumn, you told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier than a
00:51:45mere earl.
00:51:47Such was my obligation, Edward.
00:51:49You know my family's circumstances.
00:51:51You know I had no choice.
00:51:53And you, you waited too, Edward.
00:51:56All these years.
00:51:58A Thornworld without a mistress, without a bride to be.
00:52:01Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:03That's not...
00:52:04Don't say that, Edward.
00:52:05You know that's not what I...
00:52:06You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:08And in those eight months, you've come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:12cultivated my sister's trust, and forged a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:18I did what I believed was...
00:52:19I wasn't finished, Vasilia.
00:52:21You also set fire to the east wing of my home.
00:52:24You should be grateful that my wife was not there last night.
00:52:27Otherwise, you would not be standing in my study, but rather in my dungeon.
00:52:31She's not right for you, Edward.
00:52:33Whatever you feel now, it will pass.
00:52:35This afternoon, you will return to your home in London.
00:52:38And you will not come back.
00:52:40No.
00:52:41You can't treat me this way.
00:52:42I'm the Dowage Guchess of Ravenshile.
00:52:46Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham.
00:52:49I am also the Prince Regent's companion.
00:52:52Do you wish what you have done to become known through all of London?
00:52:55and I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sushi.
00:52:59Do you love her?
00:53:00Yes.
00:53:01I do.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:15Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:26She came back for him.
00:53:30And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:48May I come in?
00:53:49Please.
00:53:50I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:53I know.
00:53:53I'm sorry.
00:53:55I owe you an apology, Elizabeth.
00:53:57Several, in fact.
00:53:58I forgive you.
00:54:00So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:54:02Of course.
00:54:08Georgiana.
00:54:10I know you love your brother.
00:54:13And I do, too.
00:54:22In all the years I've known him,
00:54:25he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:28I know.
00:54:30By the way,
00:54:31you shoot better than I do.
00:54:34You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:37I know.
00:54:38I know.
00:54:39I know.
00:54:39I know.
00:54:39I know.
00:54:44I'm leaving to London
00:54:45as a painter summoned by the king.
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:49I had heard rumors of such an arrangement.
00:54:52The night of the fire,
00:54:54I saw him run into the flames to look for you.
00:54:57Without hesitation.
00:54:59That was the moment I knew had lost you.
00:55:01May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:04I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:10Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:55:23Edgar.
00:55:25He's gone.
00:55:27I know.
00:55:29The king offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:32If he is a talented man,
00:55:33it would have been a waste.
00:55:35Edward.
00:55:36Yes?
00:55:41I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
00:55:45I'll take that as a compliment.
00:55:48Come.
00:55:49My lord.
00:55:56Elizabeth!
00:56:01Elizabeth.
00:56:05Elizabeth.
00:56:11Elizabeth!
00:56:23The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord.
00:56:26However, I've noticed that Lady Winford
00:56:28is showing signs of fatigue.
00:56:36Pardon me?
00:56:38Congratulations, my lord.
00:56:41Yes.
00:56:43Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:57:03So, we're going to have a child.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:11Yes, we are.
00:57:13This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
00:57:19I'm sure you will want to tell your mother.
00:57:25I shall have the carriage prepared for Thursday.
00:57:27Vale will accompany you.
00:57:29And take a warm blanket.
00:57:31The mornings are cold now.
00:57:33I know I needn't thank the man I married.
00:57:36But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:57:38There's two minutes.
00:57:51I mean,
00:57:53that's her. What are you
00:57:53looking for? That's my
00:57:53just coming heart, baby. I don't
00:57:58Oh, my
00:57:59I
00:58:01I know.
00:58:08looking for? Look at that.
00:58:08I don't know.
00:58:58I don't know.
00:59:10I don't know.
00:59:11This is my house.
00:59:12She doesn't leave without my permission.
00:59:17Are you challenging the Countess of Wyndham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:29I'm pregnant.
00:59:31You're pregnant.
00:59:34Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:42Mother, I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:47You've come chasing him after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:53Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:10Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:16Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:26It's Edward!
01:00:40He's coming after us!
01:00:44You let him come.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honor.
01:00:53Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:56It is for me as well.
01:00:58Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight, and you shall not follow her.
01:01:01She's my wife, Lord Wyndham.
01:01:03By law, she's required to...
01:01:05By law, yes.
01:01:08Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:18Come in.
01:01:25My Lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my Lord.
01:01:32You have no right...
01:01:33The Fenwood estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:37Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:40To me.
01:01:41The roof you sleep under.
01:01:42The fields you work on.
01:01:43The horses in your stable.
01:01:45The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrewsbury.
01:01:50My Lord,
01:01:52I have always treated my family with the utmost...
01:01:55Most.
01:01:55I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:59Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate,
01:02:03to be used as she pleases.
01:02:05If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement,
01:02:08you will lose your house, your land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
