00:00This gentleman is clearly ill.
00:03I run in a charity, Guff.
00:05Here's hoping we can do business again in the future.
00:08We will.
00:09Adam, why did you decide to get married?
00:12At the time, it seemed like a good idea.
00:15I just kissed Persephone.
00:17I noticed.
00:18She is lonely in this empty castle.
00:22I heard them, Adam! The walls! They're inside Fauston!
00:24They are not inside the castle walls, Persephone.
00:27I want to know why you've stayed around all these years.
00:31We're friends, Adam.
00:32All of the balls you held for Mother weren't enough to keep her here,
00:35so while the blasted blazes am I trying the same approach?
00:39I have promised you that your brother will visit you here,
00:42and that Fauston Castle will host a ball,
00:44and no one, not Harry, not anyone else,
00:47will browbeat me into going back on that promise to you.
00:50I want to believe that.
01:26I want to believe thatβ¦
01:27Please have Atlas saddled. I wish to ride to the Vicarage.
01:30First ride outside the castle gate.
01:32I'm ready.
01:34Very good, Eugress.
02:16Oh, it means it's getting cold.
02:23Zeus, steady Zeus.
02:27Oh.
02:28Have you found her?
02:30Her?
02:31Her Grace.
02:32We were riding to the Vicarage and Atlas bolted without warning.
02:36She's not that good a rider yet and I'm afraid she might have become unseated.
02:40And what with that pack sound as so close and angry?
02:42Persephone!
02:43She's not answering.
02:47Persephone!
02:48Yeah! Yeah!
03:05Yeah! Yeah!
03:09We need to find the pack!
03:11Now figure that meself, Eugress!
03:25Oh!
03:26Whoa!
03:27Steady Zeus!
03:28Steady!
03:29Steady!
03:29Steady!
03:31I heard that too, you Grace.
03:33We're getting closer.
03:37Steady Zeus
03:38Hyah!
04:12Oh, my God.
04:52To me, Persephone!
04:55Adam!
04:56Stay next to me. Stay next to me.
05:04John, interrupt me.
05:06Hey, take Atlas back if you can.
05:09We'll be quick about it. The pack won't stay spooked for long.
05:13Is that me?
05:14Or drown me.
05:15Hold fast. When we reach the road, we are going to run.
05:39Everyone has to be armed. The pack is within the eyes of the castle. When John Hanley is through that
05:44gate, they have to be closed immediately.
05:46Yes, you can. I'm so dizzy. Can you walk?
05:48I think so.
05:56She was thrown from a horse out in the forest. It's a possibility she's broken her ankle.
06:00Should I have a surgeon sent for?
06:01No. The wolves are prowling just outside the gate. It isn't safe for anyone to go in or out.
06:06They have never done that before.
06:07Persephone?
06:09Where is Mother?
06:10Drawing room, I think.
06:12Send her up to Persephone's room.
06:26Are we safe now?
06:27Yes.
06:30I was afraid no one would find me.
06:36That's what happens.
06:37Mother, I need your help.
06:38There's blood on her riding habit.
06:42Mother?
06:44Help her to a seat, Harry.
06:48Adam?
06:51Can you take my boot off?
06:54It's too tight.
07:04Adam, she needs a surgeon.
07:05I know.
07:08Bring me boiling water and the strongest brandy Barton can find.
07:11Go.
07:13Help me, Harry.
07:17You'll have to cut it.
07:19Mother, could you find me some scissors?
07:21Look.
07:29Hold her still.
07:31I don't want to accidentally cut her.
07:38Yeah.
07:53I'm sorry, Persephone.
07:55I'm trying to be gentle.
08:20I double-e Samsun.
08:23I'm sorry, Persephone.
08:44terms in my degree.
08:45I don't want to have a better Everyman.
08:45I can be gentle.
08:45I can't get my weak.
08:45You're welcome.
08:47I'm sorry, Persephone.
09:01Adam?
09:14Yes, dear?
09:17Please stay with me.
09:26If you'll stay with me.
09:38Barton said you wanted to speak with me.
09:43How is it, Grace?
09:45Sleeping.
09:48I know it ain't seemly me talking to you in here, but I think I know.
09:56I have an idea why the pack attacked Atlas.
09:59And I thought you might want to know sooner than later, even if telling you means overstepping
10:04myself a bit.
10:04You aren't overstepping.
10:06What have you discovered?
10:08While we were cleaning Atlas' wounds, we couldn't help but notice that she smelled strongly of
10:14bacon.
10:16Of bacon?
10:17It might be why the wolves attacked Atlas, but weren't so intent on getting a mate on my
10:21horse or at Ewan's house.
10:25Grace might have picked up some of that smell.
10:27Well, that'd be why they were hunting her.
10:33Talk with your staff.
10:35See what you can find out.
10:37If it played any role in this attack.
10:39Any.
10:40I do not want the same mistake to occur again.
10:43Yes, you, Chris.
10:46John?
11:04Adam ...
11:08May I speak with you?
11:10Please.
11:14Perhaps you should sit down.
11:16I'm so sorry, Adam.
11:19I know you wished me to help with Persephone.
11:21You must be so disappointed.
11:23Sit down, Mother.
11:28Sometimes you're so like your father.
11:31Dear man.
11:33Are you unwell?
11:36I'm so mortified.
11:40You see, I've always been hopeless in a sick room.
11:43Even as a child, when anyone in the household would get so much as a cold,
11:47I would fret our dear nurse into a fit of nerves.
11:52And my mother always told me
11:55it would be different when I was a mother.
12:01You must be so ashamed of me.
12:05Being so utterly useless when you were depending on me.
12:08There was a great deal of blood earlier with Persephone.
12:11I do not blame you for not being up to the task.
12:17Well, I'm certain I only made the situation worse.
12:21I always did.
12:25The second surgeon actually sent me to the vicarage for two days.
12:30Banished from my own home.
12:34From my poor boy.
12:36Banished.
12:36The second surgeon.
12:38I'm certain I made it worse.
12:41I was so nervous, so concerned through the first one.
12:45The first surgery.
12:46And I didn't get better.
12:49Worse, in fact.
12:52The next few surgeons insisted I be gone before they even arrived.
12:55You are referring to the surgeons who did this.
13:00And I was grateful to go.
13:04Happy to.
13:08What kind of an unnatural mother wishes to leave her child at such a time?
13:25Persephone is asking for you.
13:27She seems anxious.
13:29She seems anxious.
13:50What is it, Persephone?
13:54I've been thinking back on my ride.
13:56Well, surely that can wait until you're more fully rested.
13:59What happened today, I don't believe, was an accident.
14:07What has led you to that suspicion?
14:10John didn't help me mount.
14:14Usually the stable hand waits for him, but this time he didn't.
14:18And the stable hand who helped me smelled like...
14:22Bacon?
14:24How did you know?
14:26Was it a faint aroma?
14:28No.
14:30At first I thought perhaps he'd been helping in the curing house or...
14:34Had slipped in a lard spiel in the kitchen.
14:36The scent was so strong I could still smell it.
14:39While you were riding.
14:45The groom who helped you mount, does he assist you often?
14:49Occasionally.
14:49Do you know his name?
14:51Um...
14:52He wears a green handkerchief round his neck.
14:55None of the others do.
14:58John Henley will know who it is.
15:00You're going to talk to him?
15:02That groom, I mean?
15:03If he had any hand in this, I plan to do far more than just talk.
15:09What's the name of the groom who has a green handkerchief round his neck?
15:13Uh, Jimmy.
15:13He's a newer one.
15:15Quiet lake.
15:15Keeps to himself.
15:16Any idea where I might find this Jimmy?
15:18Last I saw out of him, he was at the back of the stable.
15:21Where he helped to craze mount this morning.
15:23She said he reeked of bacon more than could have been accidental.
15:25What on purpose then?
15:26That's what I mean to find out.
15:28Oh, there he is.
15:29Jimmy!
15:32Jimmy!
15:33Do not let him get past the gate!
15:35Stop it!
16:02This woman is Mr. Smith.
16:06Who tried to kill my wife.
16:09You took the only thing that mattered to me.
16:12Just to render a pay the favor, Gav.
16:14You'll end for this.
16:16Oh, no.
16:16I have a better idea.
16:21Put him in the gibbet.
16:23What?
16:25You can't do that!
16:26You have to consult the law!
16:28I am the Duke of Kilda.
16:31I am the law!
16:34Go!
16:36Okay.
16:53Sure.
17:01It was easy.
17:02I wasζ© nosotros.
17:20Dukes aren't supposed to need people, Persephone.
17:52Dukes aren't supposed to need people, Persephone.
17:53Dukes aren't supposed to need people, Persephone.
18:17I like Boston.
18:19So do I, Linus.
18:22Then why don't you look happy?
18:25Probably because I'm in pain.
18:28I had no idea how long a few simple cuts could take to heal.
18:32I understand they weren't simple at all.
18:35Considering it might have befallen me, I think of my injuries as comparatively simple.
18:43It is so good to have you here.
18:49I am happy to see you again, though I already missed a C.
18:58Evander only ever missed home.
19:06I believe he is home now.
19:09And here's with Mama.
19:20Midshipman Lancaster, if I had known that your intention in visiting here was to make your sister cry, I would
19:27not have invited you.
19:28You guessed why Divus flocked with alarming precision, Your Grace.
19:32Every young navy man wishes to bring their female relatives into varying states of hysteria on every possible occasion.
19:39And apparently you are also intent on bringing Persephone down to her deathbed.
19:44Alas, it is true.
19:46Though I have momentarily forgotten how I intend to do this.
19:50By keeping her out of doors, and in the cold, instead of inside, warm and off her feet.
19:57Ah yes, I remember now.
19:58But I suppose, since you have guessed my plot, I shall have to abandon my ill-fated scheme.
20:03What do you mean?
20:04It was inevitable.
20:13Oh, thank you.
20:22I will see you inside, Linus.
20:29You seem pleased.
20:31I've missed my brother.
20:34He's not at all what I expected.
20:37Your description was of an infant.
20:40Imagine my shock when he walked out of the carriage.
20:42No leading strings or nursemaids in sight.
20:46Adam Boyce, are you teasing me?
20:48I never tease.
20:50You also, apparently, never host balls.
20:54Yet you are doing exactly that tomorrow.
20:57Clearly I have begun a descent into senility.
21:01You are in the oddest mood this evening.
21:06You have no idea.
21:22You are.
21:47That's interesting.
21:48There's definitely seems to be wondering where you are.
21:49Okay, I think so.
21:50Has she asked after me?
21:54Just her look on her face.
21:56We could always tell growing up when she was worrying about one of us.
22:01She must have worried a lot.
22:03She was definitely...
22:04How old was the family together?
22:06After Mama died.
22:08How old was she?
22:11Twelve.
22:13She very suddenly lost what was left of her childhood.
22:17You did as well.
22:19Her life these past eight years has been one unending sacrifice for the sake of the family.
22:27Including her marriage?
22:32Do you know why my papa named Persephone as he did?
22:36Obsession with all things Greek?
22:38Other than that.
22:40The story of Persephone is his favourite.
22:45Seems an odd favourite to me.
22:47Not when you look at it as he does.
22:50Mark counts himself amongst the scholars of the classics who believe that Hades didn't trick Persephone at all.
22:56And that they both decided together that she'd eat the pomegranate seeds.
23:00Because it meant that nothing could prevent Persephone from returning to him.
23:06But why would she return?
23:08It was the reason for her return.
23:10That endeared the goddess to my father.
23:13The seeds?
23:15The seeds are symbolic.
23:16Symbolic of what?
23:31I know disappearing balls is one of your particular talents.
23:36But it does not reflect well on your wife.
23:39You really ought to go and sit beside her.
23:40What I really ought to do is hang you out your bedchamber windows by a bed sheet wrapped around your
23:45ankles.
23:48Welcome back old friend.
23:50You've been shockingly soft lately.
23:52Oh shut up Harry.
23:54For very well this will sort of bordering the
23:58page and you've created the letters or you know that we need.
23:58For very well three.
24:24What do the pomegranate seeds symbolize?
24:27What?
24:28In the Persephone myth, Linus said the seeds are symbols.
24:33Has he been waxing philosophical?
24:35That is the one trait he inherited from Papa.
24:41What do they symbolize?
24:44According to Papa, the seeds are symbolic of love.
24:48Hades' love for Persephone, her love for him.
24:52How could she love someone who kept her prisoner?
24:57Poporois believed she came to know him beyond his fearsome demeanor and came to love him.
25:02Hades fell in love with Persephone as well. She was his match.
25:08But if they were so in love, then why did she leave at all?
25:13If she had eaten all the seeds, she would have stayed forever.
25:17Hades did not force her to remain because her family needed her.
25:22Hades never let anyone leave his realm.
25:25Hades loved Persephone.
25:33He let her go because he loved her.
25:37She returned because she loved him.
25:41Hades' love for Persephone.
25:41Hades' love for Persephone.
25:44Hades' love for Persephone.
25:51Hades' love for Persephone.
25:52Hades' love for Persephone.
25:55Hades' love for Persephone.
25:56Hades' love for Persephone.
25:56Hades' love for Persephone.
25:58Hades' love for Persephone.
25:58Hades' love for Persephone.
25:58Hades' love for Persephone.
25:59Hades' love for Persephone.
25:59Hades' love for Persephone.
26:00Hades' love for Persephone.
26:06Hades' love for Persephone.
26:22Thank you for the ball, Adam.
26:26It was wonderful.
26:29And you were happy?
26:32You weren't disappointed?
26:36What?
26:40What more were you hoping for?
26:45I've never danced at a ball, though I've often imagined doing so.
26:52I had no intention of asking you to do yet another unpleasant thing today, and yet...
27:00I would enjoy dancing with you.
27:04You would endure it, I'm certain.
27:19I want to dance with you.
27:23The musicians have all left.
27:26We don't need them.
27:34My leg is still too weak to hold me for long.
27:41Then allow me to hold you?
27:58I want to put on your back.
27:58The meal is still in peace.
28:06Myisfena Jawi
28:06Have a wonderful room.
28:06I want to pray.
28:07I don't know.
28:11That was amazing.
28:25Linus leaves for Shropshire in the morning to visit your family.
28:31Yes, I know.
28:32You will be leaving with him.
28:35That was not the plan.
28:36It should have been.
28:38It should always have been.
28:41The two of you can depart immediately following breakfast in the morning.
28:47Will you be journeying with us?
28:52I belong at Falston Castle.
29:00And where do I belong?
29:11Your family needs you.
29:14And what about you, Adam?
29:21Dukes don't need people.
29:28Dukes.
29:30It's not easy.
29:38Dukes.
29:49Did it really matter?
30:03you'd best not keep the horses standing mother
30:05it'll only take a moment
30:08and it is more important
30:09than me making a timely departure
30:14your father and I
30:15had an arranged marriage
30:18no accounting was made for the differences in our
30:21dispositions
30:23I was raised in town
30:25among society
30:29London, the ton
30:32it's what I knew and needed
30:35your father was raised here
30:38in quiet
30:39and solitude
30:42we wanted
30:43very different things in life
30:48we tried to compromise
30:52to blend our preferences
30:55but he begrudged the balls and gatherings held here
30:59and came to rather despise my need for company
31:04he wouldn't have
31:05I will admit
31:07I likewise began to view my relationship to Falston
31:11and by extension him
31:16through a lens of bitterness
31:18I do not wish to hear this
31:19resentment grows quickly
31:21Adam
31:25your father was a good man
31:27despite his implacableness
31:31I held out hope for so long
31:34in my foolishly romantic heart
31:38that he would come for me
31:39while I was away
31:42he never did
31:45did you tell him
31:46that that was what you were hoping for
31:50I was so young
31:52only 17 when we married
31:55in my naivete
31:57I believed that if he truly cared
31:59he would
32:01meet me part way
32:05you
32:06are more willing to compromise
32:08than your father ever was
32:11and Persephone
32:12is more suited
32:13to quiet and solitude
32:14than I ever will be
32:18she is your match
32:20Adam
32:22do not throw away
32:23this chance
32:24by making her guess
32:25at your feelings
32:52she has a point
32:53you know
32:57every other guest
32:58has left the castle
32:59Harry
33:00why haven't you
33:04I am here
33:05to be your conscience
33:07to save you
33:09from yourself
33:14she will come back
33:18when Linus returns
33:19to his ship
33:21Persephone
33:21will return to Falston
33:24and I know you
33:24well enough to predict
33:25that you will act
33:26as though you couldn't care less
33:27whether she is here or not
33:31do you really want her
33:32to wonder about that
33:34this is none of your concern
33:36Harry
33:43you miss her
33:45and she deserves to know that
33:49she is happy
33:50with her family
33:51then go be part of her family
33:54go to Shropshake
33:55that isn't how it works
33:57how it works
34:02Persephone receives her reprieve
34:05and Hades stays in the underworld
34:07waiting to see if the seeds work
34:10obviously you were sleeping
34:12during that lecture at Harrow
34:16Hades did not sit back
34:18and wait for Persephone
34:20when the time came
34:22Hades slipped past the hellhounds
34:23and ventured into the realm of the living
34:26to reclaim his bride
34:29I did not remember that
34:33Hades was no Pamsi Fribble
34:35Adam
34:37and I'd bet a pony
34:38his Persephone
34:41knew exactly how her husband
34:43felt about her
34:49so
35:08she is
35:09where she is
35:13at Harrow
35:24Are you sure you're warm enough?
35:26I'm dressed as warmly as I am at home.
35:29It is far colder there.
35:31You speak very fondly of Fullstone Castle.
35:34I've come to love it, Athena.
35:37More than just the castle.
35:40I hope I'm not that of lying and saying that
35:44you seem to miss the castle.
35:50I do.
35:52Then why do you seem so sad whenever anyone mentions you going back?
35:55Do you not merely think it is because you'll miss us?
35:59Probably because I'm not entirely certain what I will find when I return.
36:06You could always just stay here.
36:09My heart is there.
36:13I hope the castle knows how fortunate he is.
36:39Adam.
36:44Have you come to take me home?
36:47when you're ready
36:50but I
36:52I wanted to see Shropshire
36:56to see where you grew up
36:58you did
37:01and
37:03and get to know your family
37:07and I
37:08I
37:12Hades always went after Persephone
37:16yes
37:18he did
37:22he waited as long as he had to
37:26and then he left his kingdom
37:27and he did not come back until he found her
37:31I think Hades must have missed his wife
37:36I think he knew to the very minute
37:38how long she'd been gone
37:41but was Persephone as anxious to return
37:44as he was to have her with him again

38:12he did more than he could even express
38:20but
38:23but did Persephone love him
38:25in spite of his flaws
38:28in spite of deserving so much better than he could ever offer
