Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:48Liz, 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.
00:01:20Indeed, if not for some old favour the Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it's hard to imagine this match
00:01:25ever 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.
00:01:53Well let's go.
00:02:22I'm not happy.
00:02:23I don't like the movie.
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenwick. That's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister? But she's...
00:02:38The illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth? Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How 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 see you.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:05You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
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.
00:03:19I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:26Marry me.
00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:35Ladies 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.
00:03:57On the night of my sister's wedding,
00:04:00I 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.
00:04:21Shh.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:32Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:35Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:05:01She's up to my other way now.

00:11:12oh
00:11:12oh
00:11:12oh
00:11:12oh
00:11:12oh
00:11:12oh
00:11:12oh
00:11:12oh
00:11:13oh
00:11:19oh
00:11:21oh
00:11:22oh
00:11:22oh
00:11:23oh
00:11:30oh
00:11:30stop right there
00:11:32i i'm the countess of windham
00:11:36i command you to stop
00:11:37you have no idea what it means to offend the countess of windham
00:11:49My lord, this is... I can explain.
00:11:54Please do not.
00:11:58You may... You may turn around now.
00:12:06My lord! This is entirely unnecessary. I assure you, I am quite capable of...
00:12:11You are barefoot on flint. Kindly be still.
00:12:21My lord.
00:12:24I'm here.
00:12:25I still owe you an explanation. Are you willing to hear it now?
00:12:31As you can see, I'm not otherwise occupied.
00:12:36I took my sister's place and married you that day because...
00:12:40Because I wanted my mother to stop being beaten.
00:12:43I see.
00:12:48You didn't need to do any of this.
00:12:50The moment you said I do at that altar, you fulfilled the agreement.
00:12:54You owe me nothing more.
00:12:55So this is all just an agreement to you?
00:12:57Nothing more?
00:12:59Is it not?
00:13:00I don't make a habit of saying things I don't mean, Elizabeth.
00:13:06That's the first time he's said my name.
00:13:08I understand, my lord.
00:13:10Call me Edward.
00:13:11I've married you.
00:13:13You're my wife.
00:13:14You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornworth, including the right to know your husband.
00:13:31Cecilia.
00:13:32Cecilia Marlow.
00:13:34The girl Edward grew up with.
00:13:40My lord.
00:13:41Edward.
00:13:41Sit down.
00:13:45May I ask you a question?
00:13:47Please do.
00:13:48Is there someone else you care for?
00:13:51In London, perhaps?
00:13:57Are you angry with me for leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:00Not in the least.
00:14:01I only mean to say, I've no objection to any other attachments you may have.
00:14:06This marriage serves both our families.
00:14:08I have no wish to be a petty, jealous Countess.
00:14:11And if I were to tell you there is no such person, would you believe me?
00:14:17I, yes, I believe I would.
00:14:30Elizabeth, you are the only Lady Windorf I should like, if you're willing, to have a true marriage.
00:14:39In every sense.
00:14:42In every sense?
00:14:44Is he asking me to bear an heir for the Wyndham Line?
00:14:49Come in.
00:14:52It is late.
00:14:54Yes.
00:15:05Elizabeth.
00:15:07Yes.
00:15:09You are frightened.
00:15:12I'm not.
00:15:13I mean, it would be entirely reasonable for you to...
00:15:15Elizabeth.
00:15:20I will not require anything of you tonight.
00:15:22I beg your pardon.
00:15:24You heard me.
00:15:25But it is...
00:15:27It is your right.
00:15:28I am aware of what the law allows me.
00:15:32But that isn't the measure I intend to follow.
00:15:36Good night, Elizabeth.
00:15:40Does he not want me?
00:16:09Edward.
00:16:11Edward.
00:16:17This isn't helpful.
00:16:48Letta.
00:17:04God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:07I must be out of my mind.
00:17:09My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:13Coming!
00:17:28I was unsure of your preferences,
00:17:31so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:37He arranged all of this. What does he take me for?
00:17:40It would appear that his lordship is determined
00:17:42to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:54I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening.
00:18:06Lady Wyndham.
00:18:08How lovely to find you here.
00:18:12And all on your own.
00:18:15Rupert.
00:18:16You know Lady Winder, I believe.
00:18:17Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My 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.
00:18:29Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:31We're to be formally engaged at the McKeel Miss Hall.
00:18:34Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me.
00:18:37Though I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:40Our union, of course, has been rather more...
00:18:43conventional.
00:18:44Years of acquaintance, shared society,
00:18:47a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:50How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:57My lady.
00:18:59A message for you.
00:19:06Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight.
00:19:09Enjoy the party.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:17One cannot help but wonder,
00:19:19had you known,
00:19:21why bother to attend at all?
00:19:22Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea.
00:19:25I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:29Come, Rupert.
00:19:30It's been ages since I last danced.
00:19:33You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:51Lady Wyndham.
00:19:52What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:54Mr. Bellman.
00:19:55I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:57Ah, yes.
00:19:58I stepped out for some air,
00:19:59and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:02You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:04Marriage suits you.
00:20:05I believe I should return home.
00:20:06No need to hurry.
00:20:07It's a fine night.
00:20:08That's enough, Mr. Bellman.
00:20:10Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:11A woman as young as you,
00:20:13as lovely as you,
00:20:15deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband...
00:20:18That's enough!
00:20:20Mr. Bellamy.
00:20:21I mean it kindly...
00:20:33Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:36My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:50Lady Wyndham.
00:20:52You are going the wrong way.
00:20:54Allow me to show you out.
00:21:02Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellamy.
00:21:05Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:09And who exactly is meant to make me?
00:21:20There is no need to be alarmed.
00:21:23I only wish to talk.
00:21:25Then speak from where you stand.
00:21:29My dear.
00:21:34Stop!
00:21:38What do you think you're doing?
00:21:42Dorothea, you must forgive me.
00:21:43I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:47Lady Wind had sought me out.
00:21:48Elizabeth!
00:21:48How dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this!
00:21:52That is not...
00:21:53I mean no disrespect.
00:21:54But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain.
00:21:57Good lord!
00:21:58Did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:03I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable.
00:22:06I shall inform Lord Edward at once he'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation.
00:22:11Now, apologize to my fiancé.
00:22:13At once.
00:22:15Miss Vane, you will address me correctly or you will not address me at all.
00:22:19You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:36My lord.
00:22:37Thank god you're here.
00:22:39Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:42We were only trying to...
00:22:43When did he arrive?
00:22:44How much did he hear?
00:22:45Does he believe them?
00:22:47Are you hurt?
00:22:53Edward.
00:23:02My apologies.
00:23:04I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:07Good lord!
00:23:09Has Lord Weidemann really ruined a hundred year old young maize?
00:23:13For a wife of such low birth.
00:23:19Let every person here who has dishonoured my wife hear me.
00:23:23Before this night is over, you will regret it.
00:23:26Yes, my lord!
00:23:27Edward!
00:23:28What?
00:23:28My lord!
00:23:29I am your cousin!
00:23:31You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:33If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter, I've over fifty apples just like you.
00:23:40No!
00:23:43No!
00:23:44No!
00:23:44No!
00:23:45No!
00:23:46No!
00:24:13No!
00:24:13No!
00:24:14No!
00:24:14No!
00:24:18No!
00:24:39No!
00:24:40No!
00:24:41No!
00:24:43No!
00:24:50No!
00:24:51Are you ready?
00:24:54No!
00:24:56No!
00:24:57No!
00:25:00No!
00:25:00It's alright.
00:25:01He's settled now.
00:25:08We're home
00:25:12My lord
00:25:13My lady
00:25:21I'll see you shortly Elizabeth
00:25:24Shortly?
00:25:25What does he mean shortly?
00:25:27Tonight?
00:25:28I thought I had rather expected
00:25:29I seem to have expected it more than I realised
00:25:31Yes
00:25:32Shortly then
00:25:47Of course
00:25:49Of all nights it would be this one
00:26:00Come in
00:26:04There's something I must tell you
00:26:05It concerns a domestic matter
00:26:10I see
00:26:15Does he?
00:26:16Does he truly?
00:26:17Please God
00:26:18Let him understand without making me say it outright
00:26:21Come
00:26:22Come
00:26:33No
00:26:34Not like this
00:26:37How are you feeling?
00:26:39Rather better thank you
00:26:41Forgive me

00:30:58Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:02I am...
00:31:11Lady Wyndon.
00:31:14I had wondered when we should meet.
00:31:17I am Cecilia.
00:31:19Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:23She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:25That's her.
00:31:27Cecilia Marlowe.
00:31:28Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:31The woman Edward wants life.
00:31:35Your grace, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:38Please, none of that.
00:31:39We're practically family now.
00:31:41Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:42In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:46Lady Adelaine summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:48Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:57She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:14So, you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy.
00:32:17After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered.
00:32:22I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked.
00:32:25Elizabeth, this is Georgiana.
00:32:26We call her Georgie.
00:32:27Georgie, this is Elizabeth.
00:32:28Ah, the new Lady Wyndham.
00:32:30And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:32I read.
00:32:33I write.
00:32:34I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:37Of course she does.
00:32:37Most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:39No offense, Elizabeth.
00:32:41It simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:44Not everyone has it.
00:32:45Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try.
00:32:47It is only fair to offer.
00:32:48Oh, by all means, bring another gun.
00:32:53A gun for beginners.
00:32:57You know your way around guns?
00:32:59Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:02Georgie is only teasing.
00:33:04You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:16Well.
00:33:19You had three.
00:33:20I shall not be greedy.
00:33:34Mother.
00:33:35Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:37She found me.
00:33:39I like her.
00:33:43So do I.
00:33:49Come in.
00:33:55My mother asked me to convey her apologies.
00:33:59She had no intention of neglecting you today.
00:34:01I understand.
00:34:03Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrough
00:34:04made the afternoon quite agree of all.
00:34:09It's Friday.
00:34:10So it is.
00:34:11I must admit
00:34:14I am not entirely certain
00:34:15how one is meant to begin.
00:34:16Nor am I.
00:34:22I should warn you
00:34:23there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:2523.
00:34:29I see.
00:34:44I confess I don't quite know
00:34:46what
00:34:48I meant to do with my...
00:34:50Elizabeth.
00:34:52You are not supposed to do anything.
00:35:02The desk.
00:35:04I thought you might find it easier
00:35:06to begin with.
00:35:08I did not realize
00:35:10how warm his hands would feel.
00:35:20Breathe.
00:35:23You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:32Are you ready?
00:35:34I...
00:35:38I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:42Let's begin.
00:35:44Let's begin.
00:35:45Let's begin.
00:36:25All right.
00:36:27You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:31I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:32Elizabeth Winwen,
00:36:34née Fenwork.
00:36:35You arrived at my door this morning
00:36:37wearing the very expression
00:36:39of a woman
00:36:39who has just discovered
00:36:40something rather surprising
00:36:41about the world.
00:36:43Was it?
00:36:44Was it Friday?
00:36:47You are incredible.
00:36:49I am your oldest friend
00:36:50and I deserve details.
00:36:51Was he...
00:36:52He was...
00:36:54considerate.
00:36:56Extraordinary so.
00:36:58How?
00:36:59He made quite certain
00:37:01that I was comfortable
00:37:04before anything else.
00:37:06Several times, in fact.
00:37:09Good Lord.
00:37:10That is all I shall say
00:37:11on the subject.
00:37:12And afterward,
00:37:13in the morning,
00:37:16he said,
00:37:17come back to bed
00:37:19as though I'd been there
00:37:20all along,
00:37:22only meant to return.
00:37:23He held my hand.
00:37:27Lizzie.
00:37:30Don't.
00:37:31You like him.
00:37:34I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:42We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:53We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:55Wedge something
00:37:55under the wheel first.
00:37:57There's a plank in the ditch.
00:37:59Perhaps we ought to wait
00:38:01for someone to pass by.
00:38:13Lizzie.
00:38:14How could I possibly be?
00:38:16Hmm.
00:38:27Same as ever.
00:38:29Still finding trouble
00:38:30on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:31The road found me.
00:38:33I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:36Of course you were.
00:38:38You always were.
00:38:40Edgar Lemmonds.
00:38:42A Viscount's son.
00:38:43The summer I was 14
00:38:44he taught me to sketch
00:38:45on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:46Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:47My mother spent three days
00:38:49scrubbing my dress clean.
00:38:50Then he left for Italy.
00:38:54Is that...
00:38:55Edgar?
00:38:56I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:06I am Lady Winford now,
00:39:07Mr. Lennox.
00:39:08I trust you will do me
00:39:09the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:11Forgive me,
00:39:11I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:14I hope you are well,
00:39:15Lady Wind.
00:39:15I am.
00:39:17Give my regards to Lord Winda.
00:39:28Six years without a word,
00:39:30and now he returns
00:39:30at just this moment.
00:39:31He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:33Perhaps not.
00:39:34Lord Winda is worth ten of him.
00:39:35You know that, don't you?
00:39:39Come.
00:39:39The road is clear now.
00:39:47She was smiling at him,
00:39:48did you see?
00:39:49A married woman smiling at a man like that
00:39:51out in the open road.
00:39:52She stepped away from him, Georgie.
00:39:54That much was plain enough.
00:39:55I shall tell Edward.
00:39:56I shall tell him exactly what I saw,
00:39:58and he will...
00:39:59Do as you think best, my dear.
00:40:01You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:15Edward, there's something I must tell you.
00:40:17It concerns your wife.
00:40:18Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:21I was riding this morning,
00:40:22along the north road.
00:40:24I saw her,
00:40:25with a man.
00:40:26They were standing awfully close together,
00:40:27and he...
00:40:28Close together, you say?
00:40:29Why, yes, and he...
00:40:30He took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:33And then?
00:40:34She drew back in the end.
00:40:36But she knew him well, Edward.
00:40:38He called her Lizzie.
00:40:39What was the man's name?
00:40:41Lennox.
00:40:42Edgar Lennox.
00:40:43I've heard of this Edgar Lennox,
00:40:44the Viscount's son,
00:40:45and the one who has been off
00:40:46painting in Italy
00:40:47for the past six years.
00:40:48Then you must also know
00:40:49that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:50You followed her?
00:40:51No.
00:40:52I just happened to be passing by...
00:40:54Georgiana.
00:40:57Elizabeth is Lady Windworm.
00:40:59She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:01Whom she encounters on the road,
00:41:02with whom she speaks,
00:41:03with whom she spends her time,
00:41:04such matters are of importance
00:41:06to her and her alone.
00:41:07You should have married a true lady,
00:41:08not some vulgar country woman.
00:41:11Go home, Georgina.
00:41:16Edgar Lennox.
00:41:20My lady.
00:41:22His lordship has inquired
00:41:23as to whether you might be
00:41:24at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:26Did he indicate the purpose
00:41:27of said inquiry?
00:41:29He said he'd like to,
00:41:30and I quote precisely,
00:41:31take you out for a ride.
00:41:32He mentioned the North Meadow.
00:41:36Please convey to his lordship
00:41:37that I shall be ready in 20 minutes.
00:41:39Of course, my lady.
00:41:47Georgiana paid me a visit this morning.
00:41:50I imagine she did not call upon you
00:41:52to converse about the weather.
00:41:54You encountered Edgar Lennox
00:41:55on the North Road this morning.
00:42:02I did.
00:42:03Our carriage came to grief in the mud.
00:42:05He assisted with freeing the wheel.
00:42:09Georgiana is young,
00:42:11and her emotions have been known
00:42:12to obscure her judgment.
00:42:13I thought you should know
00:42:14that I sent her right away.
00:42:16He didn't ask me to ride
00:42:17because he sought to question me.
00:42:19It's because he wished to inform me
00:42:21he sent Georgiana away.
00:42:23He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:28Thank you, Edward.
00:42:29For what?
00:42:30We're married.
00:42:31You need not thank me.
00:42:34Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy.
00:42:36He may want to consider
00:42:38spending six more.
00:42:39The further he remains
00:42:40from my wife, the better.
00:42:49I cannot believe this.
00:42:51He sent me away.
00:42:55Tell me what happened.
00:43:01He accused me of following her.
00:43:03He is a loyal man, always has been.
00:43:05And now his loyalty is wasted
00:43:06on the wrong person.
00:43:12He will surely be thinking of his new bride
00:43:19each moment he's away from her.
00:43:27Edward chose her.
00:43:32Very well.
00:43:34Then let him see the true nature
00:43:36of this choice.
00:43:47She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:15East Wing, Old Timber Frames.
00:44:17It's three stories of curtains
00:44:19and correspondence
00:44:20and everything Edward Window
00:44:22has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:24And now a single oil lamp
00:44:26shall make it all disappear.
00:44:34Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:37Once Edward lays eyes
00:44:38on her charred bodies,
00:44:39he will surely return to me.
00:44:52Elizabeth!
00:44:53Elizabeth!
00:45:06My lord!
00:45:07It began in the lower story.
00:45:09Where's Lady Winder?
00:45:09We have not been able
00:45:10to find Lady Winder.
00:45:12But we brought someone out
00:45:13from the East Wing.
00:45:15A man.
00:45:17Elizabeth!
00:45:18She's still inside.
00:45:24And just how are you so sure
00:45:26Lady Wyndham is in there?
00:45:27What were you doing at Thornfield
00:45:29in the middle of the night?
00:45:31Edward, I'm so sorry.
00:45:32I did not wish to be the one...
00:45:33What is that in your hand?
00:45:36Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:39I received a note.
00:45:40I believed it to be...
00:45:41You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:46Edward, you must see that all evidence
00:45:49points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:51Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:52Of course she's inside.
00:45:53That wicked adulteress ought to be caged
00:45:55and paraded around the square.
00:45:57Edward!
00:45:58You were me.
00:45:59Edward!
00:46:03Miss, don't!
00:46:04It's not safe in there!
00:46:07My brother!
00:46:08Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:10Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:14He ran headfirst into that fire.
00:46:17For her.
00:46:26Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:28Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:29And you!
00:46:30What are you doing here?
00:46:32You're not stuck in the fire?
00:46:34Why on earth would I venture
00:46:35to the East Wing
00:46:36in the middle of the night?
00:46:37You wretched creature.
00:46:39How did you get so lucky?
00:46:40No matter.
00:46:41Edward just ran to his death.
00:46:43You have no one to rely on now.
00:46:44And as a duchess,
00:46:45shall be my god-begined right
00:46:47to you, I'll owe you.
00:46:48My lady,
00:46:49his lordship has gone into the fire.
00:46:51You what?
00:46:52Why?
00:46:53Elizabeth!
00:46:55Elizabeth!
00:46:56My brother is still in there.
00:46:57What do we do?
00:46:58He ran in because he thought
00:46:59you were trapped inside.
00:47:00Oh dear, how did this happen?
00:47:02Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:03No!
00:47:11She didn't write that note.
00:47:14She can't have written that note.
00:47:22It was you.
00:47:25Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:28No!
00:47:29I had nothing to do
00:47:31with that letter.
00:47:32He's slanting me!
00:47:35Edward!
00:47:40Elizabeth,
00:47:41go back.
00:47:53Foolish woman.
00:47:54Reckless man.
00:48:04I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:07You're safe.
00:48:09You're safe.
00:48:10You're safe.
00:48:11You're safe.
00:48:13I...
00:48:14I was wrong about that.
00:48:22Not every wife would run into a burning building for her husband.
00:48:25Why did you do it?
00:48:27You went in there for me.
00:48:28I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:30Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:31Whatever am I going to do with you?
00:48:33You.
00:48:49Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:54Edward.
00:48:55That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:48:58I know.
00:48:59As it happens, I also received a note, signed with Edgar's name, but I did not go to meet him.
00:49:05I'm glad to hear that.
00:49:08That's all?
00:49:11It was Cecilia.
00:49:13She did all of this.
00:49:16Cecilia.
00:49:19She is my mother's goddaughter.
00:49:21She grew up around us.
00:49:23There was a time when certain arrangements were considered by my mother, by Cecilia's family.
00:49:30I knew they were in favor of him.
00:49:32And were you?
00:49:33I've never made any promises to Cecilia.
00:49:36If she had hopes, they were not hopes I invited or confirmed.
00:49:39As for me,
00:49:42I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:48Edgar Lenniston and I, we grew up together as well.
00:49:52He taught me to make charcoal drawings.
00:49:55That is the whole of it, Edward.
00:49:56There's nothing more.
00:49:57Well then,
00:49:59now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:02Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:06It's Friday today.
00:50:08Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:10There are about two hours left until dawn.
00:50:12Perhaps you might like to watch the sun rise with me?
00:50:18Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:25May I?
00:50:27Yes, you may.
00:50:31May I?
00:50:37This.
00:50:39This is what home feels like.
00:50:51My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensburg has called upon you.
00:50:55I informed her that you are not at leisure, but she still has not taken her leave.
00:51:00Show her in, Henry.
00:51:08Thank you for seeing me, Edward.
00:51:09Say what you have come to say, Cecilia.
00:51:13You know very well why I am here.
00:51:15Georgiana won't see me.
00:51:17Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.
00:51:20And you've issued a formal notice.
00:51:22I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth, nor at any Wyndham property in the county.
00:51:27That's correct.
00:51:28Edward, please.
00:51:30We've known each other since we were little.
00:51:32You carried me home on your back when I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest.
00:51:36Yes, I recall.
00:51:36I also recall that during that same autumn, you told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier than a
00:51:42mere earl.
00:51:44Such was my obligation, Edward.
00:51:46You know my family's circumstances.
00:51:47You know I had no choice.
00:51:49And you, you waited too, Edward.
00:51:52All these years.
00:51:54A Thornfield without a mistress, without a bride to be.
00:51:57Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:00That's not...
00:52:01Don't say that, Edward.
00:52:02You know that's not what I...
00:52:03You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:04And in those eight months, you have come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:08cultivated my sister's trust, and forged a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:15I did what I believed.
00:52:16I wasn't finished, Vasilia.
00:52:18You also set fire to the east wing of my home.
00:52:21You should be grateful that my wife was not there last night.
00:52:24Otherwise, you would not be standing in my study, but rather in my dungeon.
00:52:28She's not right for you, Edward.
00:52:30Whatever you feel now, it will pass.
00:52:32This afternoon, you will return to your home in London.
00:52:35And you will not come back.
00:52:37No.
00:52:37You can't treat me this way.
00:52:39I'm the Dowage Gunchess of Ravenshile.
00:52:42Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham.
00:52:46I am also the Prince Regent's companion.
00:52:49Do you wish what you have done to become known through all of London?
00:52:52I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sushi.
00:52:55Do you love her?
00:52:57Yes.
00:52:58I do.
00:53:10Good.
00:53:11Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:23She came back for him.
00:53:26And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:44May I come in?
00:53:46Please.
00:53:47I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:49I know.
00:53:50I'm sorry.
00:53:51I owe you an apology, Elizabeth.
00:53:53Several, in fact.
00:53:54I forgive you.
00:53:56So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:53:59Of course.
00:54:04Georgiana.
00:54:06I know you love your brother.
00:54:09And I do too.
00:54:19In all the years I've known him,
00:54:22he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:25I know.
00:54:26By the way,
00:54:28you shoot better than I do.
00:54:30You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:40I'm leaving to London as a painter summoned by the king.
00:54:44Yes.
00:54:46I had heard rumours of such an arrangement.
00:54:48The night of the fire,
00:54:50I saw him run into the flames to look for you.
00:54:53Without hesitation.
00:54:55That was the moment I knew had lost you.
00:54:57May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:00I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:07Give my regards to Lord Wyndolin.
00:55:20Edgar.
00:55:22He's gone.
00:55:24I know.
00:55:25The king offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:28He is a talented man.
00:55:29It would have been a waste.
00:55:31Edward.
00:55:33Yes?
00:55:37I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
00:55:41I'll take that as a compliment.
00:55:44Come.
00:55:45My lord.
00:55:52Elizabeth!
00:55:57Elizabeth!
00:56:00Elizabeth?
00:56:02Elizabeth?
00:56:07Elizabeth!
00:56:08Elizabeth!
00:56:09Elizabeth!
00:56:19The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord.
00:56:22However, I've noticed that Lady Winford is showing signs of fatigue.
00:56:32Pardon me?
00:56:34Congratulations, my lord.
00:56:37Yes.
00:56:39Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:56:59So, we're going to have a child.
00:57:05Yes.
00:57:07Yes, we are.
00:57:08This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
00:57:15I'm sure you will want to tell your mother.
00:57:21I shall have the carriage prepared for Thursday.
00:57:23Vale will accompany you.
00:57:26And take a warm blanket.
00:57:27The mornings are cold now.
00:57:29I know I needn't thank the man I married.
00:57:32But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:58:12I'll be right back.
00:58:13I don't know.
00:58:47Mother!
00:58:54Ah, Elizabeth.
00:58:57To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:01Come with me, Mother.
00:59:03Now.
00:59:06This is my house.
00:59:08She doesn't leave without my permission.
00:59:13Are you challenging the Countess of Wyndham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:25I'm pregnant.
00:59:28You're pregnant.
00:59:30Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:36Mother.
00:59:36Mother.
00:59:39I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:42You'll come chasing after us.
00:59:44You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:49Then they sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:06Margaret!
01:00:10Keep moving.
01:00:12Don't look back.
01:00:16Elizabeth!
01:00:22It's Edward!
01:00:33It's Edward!
01:00:37He's coming after us!
01:00:40Let him come.
01:00:46Lord Wyndham.
01:00:47What an honor.
01:00:49Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:52It is for me as well.
01:00:54Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight, and you shall not follow her.
01:00:57She's my wife, Lord Wyndham.
01:00:59By law, she's required to...
01:01:01By law, yes.
01:01:04Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:14Come in.
01:01:21My Lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:26These are private accounts, my Lord.
01:01:28You have no right to...
01:01:29The Fenwood estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:33Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:36To me.
01:01:37The roof you sleep under.
01:01:38The fields you work on.
01:01:39The horses in your stable.
01:01:41The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrowsborough.
01:01:46My Lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost...
01:01:51I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:55Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:01If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement,
01:02:04you will lose your house, your land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:14My wife sends her regards.
01:02:28He'll take me away, I know it.
01:02:31Oh, Lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:34No.
01:02:36Edward will handle everything.
01:02:39I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:41As did I.
01:02:44Elizabeth.
01:02:46Is he...
01:02:47Is he a good man, your Lord?
01:02:59He's the best man I've ever met, Mother.
01:03:12Now, let me tell you.
01:03:15The way this is working.
01:03:33How long will you be gone for?
01:03:34Four months, perhaps.
01:03:39I don't wish to go.
01:03:41I know. I know you don't.
01:03:45Elizabeth, I...
01:03:46It's Friday, you know.
01:03:55I'll be gentle.
01:03:57So will I.
01:03:59Don't be too gentle.
01:04:13I promise you'll write me.
01:04:17Every day.
01:04:35My lord, it is the 14th of March, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs as a
01:04:42set of piano keys.
01:04:43Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy, and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:47Come home soon, Edward. We both eagerly await your return.
01:04:59A letter from London, my lady, in his lordship's own hand.
01:05:07Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning. I have read it four times, front to back. Today I
01:05:15write to tell you I am coming home. I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and
01:05:20even more to tell you.
01:05:22Did you hear that, Edward? My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door. Officers, I believe. They are carrying
01:05:33a sealed summon.
01:05:42Lady Winverd, we are here to deliver a summons from his royal highness, the prince regent. Your presence is urgently
01:05:47required in London, and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:54Lady Winverd, may I have the night to prepare?
01:05:55I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady. The carriage is prepared.
01:06:03Very well. Allow me five minutes to gather my things.
01:06:17My lady, the seal on this carriage. I need time to verify it.
01:06:25Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the prince regent.
01:06:28Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the prince.
01:06:33Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to play the prince regent.
01:06:40That sound. This isn't the road to London. It's the Cliff Road.
01:06:48Stop this carriage! Stop the carriage! Immediately!
01:07:06Elizabeth!
01:07:33Edward!
01:07:34Take my hand!
01:07:45Edward!
01:07:46Yes?
01:07:47What is it?
01:07:48I think...
01:07:48I think the child is coming.
01:08:09My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:13Move.
01:08:36Your first child?
01:08:37Yes.
01:08:38I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons.
01:08:41Who was it?
01:08:42A widow, recently returned from London.
01:08:45She forged the seal.
01:08:46She also set fire to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:49The Dowager Gredness.
01:08:51Yes, your highness.
01:08:52I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:55She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:08:57Thank you, your highness.
01:08:59And for this, for allowing us in...
01:09:02Don't thank me for that.
01:09:02Thank my wife.
01:09:04She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:07She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:12That's one way to put it.
01:09:20My lord.
01:09:22Lady Windry is well.
01:09:24You have a son.
01:09:36He has your eyes.
01:09:41Why am I there?
01:09:52Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:02Jane.
01:10:17How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
01:10:24It all started with a marsh.
01:10:26I beg your pardon?
01:10:27On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:30Cut across the north field.
01:10:32I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:35Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:38And then...
01:10:39There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:42Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about on his marsh.
01:10:46He pulled me out himself.
01:10:48Gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:50He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:53And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:55Yes, then I told him my name.
01:10:57And he told me his.
01:10:59And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:02Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:08Are you?
01:11:11More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:19The Prince Regent will present honours tonight.
01:11:22Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:24None at all.
01:11:25Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:27But who shall it be?
01:11:28Cavendish?
01:11:29Ashmore?
01:11:30I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:32Apparently, the honour is to be a stowed upon a couple.
01:11:36A husband.
01:11:38And a wife.
01:11:40Good heavens!
01:11:41A joint honour?
01:11:43And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:46Are you nervous?
01:11:48I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
01:11:51Do you remember when we first met?
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.
01:11:59And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.
01:12:03Well, things are different now.
01:12:04This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:08Shall we?
01:12:15Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:17How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:20You look magnificent.
01:12:23I know.
01:12:24And I feel magnificent.
01:12:28With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty, I hereby elevate Lord Edward
01:12:35Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Marchiance of Thornfield.
01:12:40I was looking forward and proud of my family.
01:12:47I was very proud to answer my apologize.
01:12:54Well, He became brilliant.
01:12:59What are you doing?
01:12:59I came toJEf's and I saw you shortly.
