00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day, Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth, our debts will be cleared, father's honor restored.
00:00:35It's Elizabeth! This was just found in the bride's dressing room!
00:00:48Liz, please forgive me. I can't do this, I won't be traded off to some man. I'm so sorry it
00:00:53had to be you who found this. Don't come looking for me, Jane.
00:00:58Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Windeck, the Fenwick family
00:01:03will be ruined completely?
00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it. Indeed, if not for some old favour the
00:01:22Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it'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.
00:01:50Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:52There's no time.
00:02:01Or, shall you see,
00:02:23but to her family is not a close friend of mine.
00:02:23Sorry.
00:02:23Pretty much.
00:02:23Please think,
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenric, that's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister, but she's the 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?
00:02:51Please, how could you replace my legitimate daughter and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:57Regina, please, not here.
00:03:00People will sin.
00:03:02Miss Fenric.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:05You are not Miss Jane Fenric.
00:03:09Yes, my lord. I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation and 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.
00:03:35Marry me.
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...
00:03:44...my bride.
00:03:57On the night of my sister's wedding...
00:04:00...I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:16His lordship was called away to London on urgent business.
00:04:19You may move to Thormut later today.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:33Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:35Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:04:40Oh, my dear...
00:04:59You have no idea for me.
00:05:00This is just a wedding.
00:05:01We forgot the mother's means.
00:05:04She's returning the mapped.
00:05:11none of us attended but i've heard every detail they say the sister ran off and the younger one
00:05:18took her place showed up in riding clothes no less you do keep well informed dorothea

00:15:37good night elizabeth
00:15:40does he not want me
00:15:42good night elizabeth
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.
00:17:09My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:14Coming!
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.
00:17:54I 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 Winder, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford. The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:26Good evening, Miss Vane. Mr. Bellamy. Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:32We're to be formally engaged at the McEelmus Hall.
00:18:35Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me, though I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:41Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional.
00:18:45Years of acquaintance, shared society, a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:58My lady. A message for you.
00:19:07Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight. Enjoy the party.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:18One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea. I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:30Come, Rupert. It's been ages since I last danced. You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:52Lady Wyndham. What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:55Mr. Bellman. I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:58Ah, yes. I stepped out for some air and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford. Marriage suits you.
00:20:06Thank you. I believe I should return home.
00:20:07No need to hurry. It's a fine night.
00:20:09That's enough, Mr. Bellman.
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:12A woman as young as you, as lovely as you,
00:20:16deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband...
00:20:19That's enough!
00:20:21Mr. Bellamy.
00:20:22I mean it kindly...
00:20:34Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:51Lady Wyndham. You are going the wrong way. Allow me to show you out.
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellamy. Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:09And who exactly is meant to make it?
00:21:21There is no need to be alarmed. I only wish to talk.
00:21:25Then 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! How 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! Did 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 he'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation.
00:22:12Now, apologize to my fiancé. At once.
00:22:15Miss Vane, you will address me correctly or you will not address me at all.
00:22:20You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:37My Lord, thank God you're here.
00:22:40Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:43We were only trying to...
00:22:44Is it when did he arrive?
00:22:45How much did he hear?
00:22:46Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward!
00:23:03My apologies.
00:23:05I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:09Good Lord!
00:23:09Has Lord Weidemann really ruined a hundred-year-old Yang Maze?
00:23:14You're 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!
00:23:29My Lord! I am your cousin!
00:23:32You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:34If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter,
00:23:38I have over fifty others just like you.
00:23:45Grateful 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, I...
00:24:13I know. I know precisely what kind of man he is.
00:24:16I believe you, Elizabeth.
00:24:18We 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...
00:24:32With a kiss.
00:24:35He's asking to kiss me.
00:24:37On horseback.
00:24:38Out in the open, in the middle of the night.
00:24:40God knows how long I've waited for this moment.
00:24:43You have my permission.
00:25:00It's all right. He's settled now.
00:25:09We're home.
00:25:13My lord. My 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 realised.
00:25:32Yes. Shortly then.
00:25:49Of course.
00:25:50Of all nights, it would be this one.
00:26:01Come in.
00:26:05There's something I must tell you.
00:26:07It concerns a...
00:26:09Domest... Domestic matter.
00:26:12I see.
00:26:16Does he? Does he truly?
00:26:18Please.
00:26:18Please, God.
00:26:19Let him understand without 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, thank you.
00:26:43Forgive me.
00:26:44Elizabeth.
00:26:45Yes.
00:26:45Stop apologising.
00:26:46Yes.
00:26:47Very well.
00:26:51Elizabeth.
00:27:19Elizabeth.
00:27:31He's gone. Of course he's gone. I failed him last night.
00:27:37Come in.
00:27:38Come in.
00:28:01There's something wrong.
00:28:04No.
00:28:06No.
00:28:06No, nothing.
00:28:10I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:13Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm.
00:28:15There's chocolate.
00:28:16If you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:17No.
00:28:39You have...
00:28:43whose hand is still warm.
00:28:49I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end.
00:28:54My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:58Yes.
00:28:59I should like it that very much.
00:29:04I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfillment of our marital obligation.
00:29:15Yes, Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:20I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:30:05Go on.
00:30:07If Vael will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:12Of course.
00:30:12Of course.
00:30:38Free.
00:30:52That's Edward's mother.
00:30:54She looks so young to find.
00:30:59Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:03I am...
00:31:12Lady Wyndon.
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:24She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:26That's her.
00:31:28Cecilia Marlok.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:32The woman Edward wants to love.
00:31:37Your grace, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:42Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:50Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:59She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:15She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:19After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered.
00:32:23I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked.
00:32:26Elizabeth, this is Georgiana.
00:32:28We call her Georgie.
00:32:28Georgie, this is Elizabeth.
00:32:30Ah, the new Lady Wyndham.
00:32:32And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:33I read.
00:32:34I write.
00:32:35I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:38Of course she does.
00:32:39Most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:41No offense, Elizabeth.
00:32:42It simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:45Not everyone has it.
00:32:47Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try.
00:32:49It is only fair to offer.
00:32:50Oh, by all means, bring another gun.
00:32:55A gun for beginners.
00:32:58Do you know your way around guns?
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing.
00:33:05You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:17Well.
00:33:20You had three.
00:33:22I shall 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.
00:33:44So do I.
00:33:51Come in.
00:33:57My mother asked me to convey her apologies.
00:34:00She had no intention of neglecting you today.
00:34:03I understand.
00:34:05Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agree of all.
00:34:11It's Friday.
00:34:12So it is.
00:34:14I must admit, I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.
00:34:18Nor am I.
00:34:24I should warn you, there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:26Twenty-three.
00:34:31I see.
00:34:45I confess I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...
00:34:51Elizabeth, you 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...
00:35:36I...
00:35:40I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:44Let's begin.
00:35:46Let's begin.
00:35:47Let's begin.
00:35:48Let's begin.
00:35:50Let's begin.
00:36:14Let's start.
00:36:28All right, you absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:34Elizabeth Winwyn, née Fenwork.
00:36:37You 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?
00:36:46Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incredible.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details. Was he...
00:36:54He was... considerate.
00:36:58Extraordinary so.
00:37:00How?
00:37:01He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:05Before 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, in the morning?
00:37:18He said, come back to bed.
00:37:21As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:23Only meant to return.
00:37:26He held my hand.
00:37:29Lizzie.
00:37:32I don't.
00:37:33You like him.
00:37:36I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:44We'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.
00:38:01Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:15Lizzie.
00:38:16How come?
00:38:17How come he was answering?
00:38:21Jim Sagetoud?
00:38:29Same as ever.
00:38:31Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road?
00:38:33The road found me. I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:38Of course you were. You always were.
00:38:42Edgar Lemmonds, a distant son.
00:38:45The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall, charcoal everywhere.
00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean.
00:38:52Then he left for Italy.
00:38:55Is that Edgar? I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:08I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox. I 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...
00:39:17I am. Thank you.
00:39:19Give my regards to Lord Wyndove.
00:39:30Six years without a word, and now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not. Lord Wyndare is worth ten of him, you 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. That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward. I 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?
00:40:31Why, yes, and he... he took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:35And then?
00:40:36She drew back in the end.
00:40:38But she knew him well, Edward. He called her Lizzie.
00:40:41What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox. Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son,
00:40:48the one who has been off painting in Italy for the past six years.
00:40:50Then you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:52You followed her.
00:40:54No. I just happened to be passing by...
00:40:56Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windham. She 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 countrywoman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgina.
00:41:18Edgar Lennox.
00:41:23My lady, his lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:28Did 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.
00:41:40Of 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.
00:42:05Our 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.
00:42:15I 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.
00:42:25He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:30Thank you, Edward.
00:42:31For what?
00:42:32We're married.
00:42:33You 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.
00:42:51I cannot believe this.
00:42:53He sent me away.
00:42:58Tell me what happened.
00:43:04He accused me of following her.
00:43:05He is a loyal man, always has been.
00:43:07And now his loyalty is wasted on the wrong person.
00:43:14He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:30Edward chose her.
00:43:34Very well.
00:43:36Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:49She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:17East wing, old timber frames.
00:44:20It's three stories of curtains, ends and correspondence.
00:44:23And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:26And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:36Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:39Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:45:08My lord!
00:45:10It began in the lower story.
00:45:11Where's Lady Winda?
00:45:12We have not been able to find Lady Winda.
00:45:14But we brought someone out from the east wing.
00:45:17A man.
00:45:20Elizabeth.
00:45:21She's still inside.
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Winda is in there?
00:45:30What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:33Edward, I'm so sorry.
00:45:35I did not wish to be the one to...
00:45:36What is that in your hand?
00:45:39Edward, if there's Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:41I received a note.
00:45:43I believed it to be...
00:45:44You believed it to be for 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.
00:46:01Edward!
00:46:06Miss Doach!
00:46:07It's not safe in there!
00:46:09My brother!
00:46:10Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:12Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:17He ran head first into that fire.
00:46:20For her.
00:46:28Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:30Why 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?
00:46:36Yes!
00:46:36Why on earth would I venture to the East Wing in the middle of the night?
00:46:40You wretched creature.
00:46:41Where did you get so lucky?
00:46:43No matter.
00:46:44Edward just ran to his death.
00:46:45You have no one to rely on now.
00:46:47And as a Duchess, it shall be my god-begin right to walk all over you.
00:46:50My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire.
00:46:54You what?
00:46:55Why?
00:46:57Elizabeth!
00:46:58My 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?
00:47:04Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:06No!
00:47:10No!
00:47:14She didn't write that note.
00:47:17She can't have written that note.
00:47:24It was you!
00:47:31I had nothing to do with that letter.
00:47:34He's slanding me!
00:47:38Edward!
00:47:42Elizabeth.
00:47:44Go back.
00:47:56Foolish woman.
00:47:57Reckless man.
00:48:07I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're safe.
00:48:11You're safe.
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?
00:48:29You went in there for me.
00:48:31I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:33I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:33Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:34Elizabeth, whatever am I going to do with you?
00:48:36You.
00:48:52Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:57Edward.
00:48:58That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:49:01I know.
00:49:02As it happens, I also received a note, signed 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.
00:49:19Cecilia.
00:49:22She is my mother's goddaughter.
00:49:24She grew up around us.
00:49:25There was a time when certain arrangements were considered.
00:49:29By my mother, by Cecilia's family.
00:49:33I knew they were in favor of me.
00:49:35And 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.
00:49:42As for me,
00:49:45I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:51Edgar 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.
00:49:59There's nothing more.
00:50:00Well then,
00:50:02now 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.
00:50:15Perhaps you might like to watch the sunrise with me?
00:50:21Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:28May I?
00:50:30Yes, you may.
00:50:40This.
00:50:42This is what home feels like.
00:50:54My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensborough has called upon you.
00:50:58I informed her that you are not at leisure, but she still has not taken her leave.
00:51:03Show 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.
00:51:18Georgiana won't see me.
00:51:20Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.
00:51:23And 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.
00:51:31Edward, 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
00:51:44wealthier than a mere earl.
00:51:47Such was my obligation, Edward.
00:51:49You know my family's circumstances.
00:51:50You know I had no choice.
00:51:52And you, you waited too, Edward.
00:51:55All these years.
00:51:57A Thornworld without a mistress, without a bride-to-be.
00:52:00Do 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 have come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:11cultivate my sister's trust, and forge a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy
00:52:16my wife's reputation.
00:52:18I did what I believed.
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, and 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.
00:52:45Do 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?
00:52:55I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sushi.
00:52:58Do you love her?
00:53:00Yes, I do.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:15Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:26She came back for him.
00:53:29And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:47May I come in?
00:53:49Please.
00:53:50I didn't know Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:52I know.
00:53:53I'm sorry.
00:53:54I owe you an apology, Elizabeth.
00:53:56Several, in fact.
00:53:57I forgive you.
00:54:00So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:54:02Of course.
00:54:07Georgiana.
00:54:09I 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.
00:54:29By the way,
00:54:31you shoot better than I do.
00:54:33You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:44I'm leaving to London as a painter summoned by the king.
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:49I had heard rumours of such an arrangement.
00:54:51The night of the fire,
00:54:53I 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.
00:55:03I 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.
00:55:28The king offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:31If 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.
00:55:48My lord.
00:55:56Elizabeth!
00:56:01Elizabeth.
00:56:04Elizabeth.
00:56:11Elizabeth!
00:56:22The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord.
00:56:26However, I've noticed that Lady Winford is showing signs of fatigue.
00:56:36Pardon me?
00:56:37Congratulations, my lord.
00:56:41Yes.
00:56:43Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:57:02So, we're going to have a child.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:11Yes, we are.
00:57:12This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
00:57:18I'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.
00:57:32I know I needn't thank the man I married.
00:57:35But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:57:41Edward.
00:57:46Edward.
00:58:18I love you.
00:58:51Mother!
00:58:58Ah, Elizabeth.
00:59:00To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:05Come with me, Mother.
00:59:07Now.
00:59:10This is my house.
00:59:12She doesn't leave without my permission.
00:59:16Are 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.
00:59:40Mother.
00:59:42I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:46You'll come chase him after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:52Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:09Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:16Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:26It's Edward!
01:00:41He's coming after us!
01:00:43Let him pass.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honour.
01:00:53Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:56It is for me as well.
01:00:57Lady 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...
01:01:04By law, yes.
01:01:08Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:17Come in.
01:01:24My Lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my Lord.
01:01:32You have no right to...
01:01:32The Fenwood Estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:36Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:39To me.
01:01:40The 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.
01:01:49My Lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost...
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, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:04If 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.
01:02:18My wife sends her regards.
01:02:31He'll take me away, I know it.
01:02:34Oh, Lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:37No.
01:02:40Edward will handle everything.
01:02:42I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:45As did I.
01:02:48Elizabeth.
01:02:50Is he...
01:02:51Is he a good man, your Lord?
01:03:02He's the best man I've ever met, Mother.
01:03:05Mother.
01:03:37How long will you be gone for?
01:03:38Four months, perhaps.
01:03:43I don't wish to go.
01:03:45I know.
01:03:46I know you don't.
01:03:48Elizabeth, I...
01:03:50It's Friday, you know.
01:03:59I'll be gentle.
01:04:01So will I.
01:04:03Don't be too gentle.
01:04:17I promise you'll write me.
01:04:21Every day.
01:04:28Every day.
01:04:38My lord, it is the 14th of March, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs
01:04:45as a set of piano keys.
01:04:47Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy, and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:51Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:53We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:03A letter from London, my lady, in his lordship's own hand.
01:05:11Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:15I have read it four times, front to back.
01:05:19Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:21I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and even more to tell you.
01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:32My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:35Officers, I believe.
01:05:36They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverde, we are here to deliver a summons from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:50Your presence is urgently required in London, and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:57May I have the night to prepare?
01:05:59I am afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.
01:06:02The carriage is prepared.
01:06:07Very well.
01:06:09Allow me five minutes to gather my things.
01:06:21My lady, the seal on this carriage.
01:06:24I need time to verify it.
01:06:29Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:44That sound.
01:06:46This isn't the road to London, it's the cliff room.
01:06:52Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop the carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:06:55Elizabeth!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:12Elizabeth!
01:07:37Edward!
01:07:38Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes?
01:07:51What is it?
01:07:52I think...
01:07:53I think the child is coming.
01:08:13My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:17Move.
01:08:40Your first child?
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:42I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road.
01:08:45The carriage?
01:08:45The summons?
01:08:46Who was it?
01:08:46A widow, recently returned from London.
01:08:49She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the East Ring of my home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Grednas?
01:08:55Yes, your highness.
01:08:56I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:59She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:09:01Thank you, your highness.
01:09:03And for this, for allowing us in.
01:09:06Don't thank me for that.
01:09:07Thank my wife.
01:09:08She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:12She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:16That's one way to put it.
01:09:25My lord, Lady Windery is well.
01:09:28You have a son.
01:09:40He has your eyes.
01:09:45Why am I there?
01:09:47Who is your princess?
01:09:56Your royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:07Jane!
01:10:21How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
01:10:28It all started with a marsh.
01:10:30I beg your pardon?
01:10:31On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:34Cut across the north field.
01:10:36I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:42And then, there was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:46Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:51He pulled me out himself, gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:55He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:57And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:59Yes, then I told him my name.
01:11:01And he told me his.
01:11:03And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:06Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:13Are you?
01:11:15More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:24The Prince Regent will present honours tonight.
01:11:26Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:28None at all.
01:11:29Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:31But who shall it be?
01:11:32Cavendish?
01:11:33Ashmore?
01:11:34I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:36Apparently, the honour is to be estowed upon a couple.
01:11:40A husband.
01:11:42And wife.
01:11:44Good heavens!
01:11:46A joint honour?
01:11:47And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:50Are you nervous?
01:11:52I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
01:11:55Do you remember when we first met?
01:11:59Yes.
01:11:59When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.
01:12:03And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.
01:12:07Well, things are different now.
01:12:09This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:13Shall we?
01:12:19Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:22How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:25You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:28And I feel magnificent.
01:12:32With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:37I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham
01:12:42to the rank of Marcus and Martianse of Thornfield.
01:12:49Thank you very much.
