00:00This gentleman is clearly ill.
00:03I run in a charity, Gough.
00:05He'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,
00:36so 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.
00:51I want to believe that.
00:57Don't be.
01:05Don't be!
01:10Don't be!
01:14Don't be!
01:15I'll do that.
01:15Why the?
01:26Don't be!
01:26Don't be!
01:26Don't be!
01:26Don't be!
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, Your Grace.
02:19It'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 so close and angry.
02:42Persephone!
02:43She's not answering.
02:47Persephone!
02:48Yeah!
03:05Yeah!
03:07Yeah!
03:08Yeah!
03:10We need to find the pack!
03:11I was thinking of that myself, Your Grace!
03:17I was thinking of that myself, Your Grace!
03:26Whoa!
03:27Steady Zeus.
03:28Steady.
03:29Steady.
03:30Steady.
03:31I heard that too, Your Grace.
03:33We're getting closer.
03:34What's the point?
03:38This side one's up.
03:38There's nothing here.an,
03:52Embrace. That's
03:52right. That's
03:53right. Let's
03:54do it. Just get
03:55the one you get. Something to
04:01gonna take the ride out of this circle. Yeah.
04:03I'm
04:04gonna take around thevern from this circle.
04:10I don't know.
04:52To me, Persephone!
04:55Adam!
04:56Stay next to me.
04:57Stay next to me.
05:04John, interrupt to me.
05:07Take Atlas back if you can.
05:09We'll be quick about it.
05:10The pack won't stay spooked for long.
05:13Is that me?
05:14Or drown me.
05:15Hold fast.
05:16When we reach the road, we are going to run.
05:39Everyone is to be armed.
05:41The pack is within yards of the castle.
05:42When John Henley is through that gate, they are to be closed immediately.
05:46Yes, you can.
05:47I'm so dizzy.
05:47Can you walk?
05:48I think so.
05:56She was thrown from a horse out in the forest.
05:58It's a possibility she's broken her ankle.
06:00Should I have a surgeon sent for?
06:02No.
06:02The wolves are prowling just outside the gate.
06:04For me, it isn't safe for anyone to go in a route.
06:06They have never done that before.
06:08Persephone?
06:08Persephone?
06:09Persephone?
06:10Where is mother?
06:11Drawing room, I think.
06:12Send her up to Persephone's room.
06:26Are we safe now?
06:28Yes.
06:30I was afraid no one would find me.
06:36That's the full heavens.
06:37Mother, I need your help.
06:38There's blood on her.
06:40Riding 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.
07:18You'll have to cut it.
07:19Mother, could you find me some scissors?
07:21Look.
07:30Hold her still.
07:30I don't want to accidentally cut her.
07:34I don't want to accidentally cut her.
07:48Here.
07:53I'm sorry, Persephone.
07:55I'm sorry, Persephone.
07:55I'm trying to be gentle.
07:58I'm sorry.
08:11I did her.
08:14I'm sorry, Persephone.
08:16I know.
08:19I need to do it better.
08:21But I have to do it better.
08:22She's not dressed.
08:22I don't have to wear her.
08:23I'm not dressed, but I can't.
08:23I don't have to do it better.
08:24This'll be me.
08:24I'm not dressed, but I'm dressed up.
08:25I'm dressed up.
08:30I don't know.
09:01Adam?
09:14Yes, dear?
09:17Please stay with me.
09:26If you will stay with me.
09:39Barton 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...
09:53Well, 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,
10:02even if telling you means overstepping myself a bit.
10:04You aren't overstepping.
10:06What have you discovered?
10:08While we were cleaning Atlas' wounds,
10:11we couldn't help but notice that she smelled strongly of bacon.
10:16Of bacon?
10:17It might be why the wolves attacked Atlas,
10:19but weren't so intent on getting a mate on my horse or at Ewan's house.
10:24Her grace 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, any,
10:40I do not want the same mistake to occur again.
10:43Yes, you, Chris.
10:46John?
11:05Adam?
11:08May I speak with you?
11:10Please.
11:14Perhaps you should sit down.
11:15I'm so sorry, Adam.
11:19I know you wished me to help with Persephone.
11:22You 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.
11:44Even 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.
12:09There 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.
13:51What is it, Persephone?
13:54I've been thinking back on my ride.
13:56Well, surely that can wait until you're more fully rested.
14:00What happened today, I don't believe, was an accident.
14:07What has led you to that suspicion?
14:10Sean 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?
14:28Was it a faint aroma?
14:29No.
14:29At first I thought perhaps he'd been helping in the curing house or had slipped in a lard spill in
14:36the kitchen.
14:37The 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.
14:50Do 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.
15:10What's the name of the groom who has a green handkerchief round his neck?
15:13Uh, Jimmy.
15:14He's a newer one.
15:15Quiet like.
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 grace him out 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!
15:32Smith!
15:33Do not let him get past the gate!
15:35Stop it!
16:02This woman is Mr. Smith.
16:05Who tried to kill my wife.
16:09You took the only thing that mattered to me.
16:12Just to render a pay the favor, Gav.
16:15You'll end for this.
16:16Oh, no.
16:16I have a better idea.
16:21Put him in the gibbet.
16:24What?
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!
16:34I am the law!
16:36I am the law!
17:20Dukes aren't supposed to need people, Persephone.
17:23Dukes aren't supposed to need people, Persephone.
17:25I am the law!
17:50What?
17:51I am the law!
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 befall in 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.
18:53Though I already missed a C.
18:58Evander only ever missed home.
19:06I believe he is home now.
19:09And he is with me well.
19:20Midshipman Lancaster.
19:22If I had known that your intention in visiting here was to make your sister cry, I would not have
19:27invited 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.
20:03It was inevitable.
20:13Oh, thank you.
20:23I will see you inside, Linus.
20:29You seem pleased.
20:31I've missed my brother.
20:34It's not at all what I expected.
20:37Your description was of an infant.
20:39Imagine my shock when he walked out of the carriage.
20:43No 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.
21:07You have no idea.
21:08You are everyone!
21:08Amen.鐘
21:21How
21:23are you going to take in this fallen thing. You
21:23are I doing your Essaie tonight? Ooh,
21:35yeah.
21:47Persephone seems to be wondering where you are.
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.
22:03Persephone held with the family together after Mamma 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 what my papa named Persephone as he did?
22:36Obsession with all things Greek.
22:38Other than that, the story of Persephone is his favourite.
22:45Seems an odd favourite to me.
22:48Not 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 indeed the goddess of my father.
23:13The seeds?
23:15The seeds are symbolic.
23:17Symbolic of what?
23:32I 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 bedsheet wrapped around your ankles.
23:48Welcome back, old friend.
23:50You've been shockingly soft lately.
23:52Oh, shut up, Harry.
23:54Harry.
24:24What do the pomegranate seeds symbolise?
24:27What?
24:28In the Persephone myth, Linus said the seeds are symbols.
24:33Has he been waxing philosophical?
24:36That is the one trait he inherited from Papa.
24:41What do they symbolise?
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?
24:57Papa always believed she came to know him beyond his fearsome demeanour and came to love him.
25:02Hades fell in love with Persephone as well.
25:04She 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.
25:27Hades loved Persephone.
25:33He let her go because he loved her.
25:37She returned because she loved him.
25:42Hades never wanted her.
26:22Thank you for the ball, Adam.
26:26It was wonderful.
26:29You 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.
27:20I want to dance with you.
27:23The musicians have all left.
27:26We don't need them.
27:34My leg is...
27:37It's still too weak to hold me for long.
27:41Then allow me to hold you?
28:13I want to sit there.
28:25Linus leaves for structure in the morning to visit your family
28:31Yes, I know
28:33You 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
29:30Have a good diet
29:30Doesn't mean to be followed
29:31Iuce you
29:31Tuc
29:31I am
29:41We need you
29:52Can
29:53I
30:03you'd best not keep the horses standing mother it'll only take a moment and it is more important
30:09than me making a timely departure your father and i had an arranged marriage
30:19no accounting was made for the differences in our dispositions i was raised in town among society
30:30london baton it's what i knew and needed your father was raised here in quiet and solitude
30:42we wanted very different things in life
30:48we tried to compromise to blend our preferences
30:56but he begrudged the balls and gatherings held here and came to rather despise my need for company
31:04he wouldn't have i will admit i likewise began to view my relationship to falsten and
31:12by extension him through a lens of bitterness i do not wish to hear this
31:19resentment grows quickly adam
31:25your father was a good man despite his implacableness
31:31i held out hope for so long in my foolishly romantic heart that he would come for me while i
31:40was away
31:42he never did
31:45did you tell him that 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 he would
32:01meet me part way
32:06you are more willing to compromise than your father ever was
32:11and persephone is more suited to quiet and solitude than i ever will be
32:18she is your match adam
32:22do not throw away this chance by making her guess at your feelings
32:53she has a point
32:53you know
32:57every other guest has left the castle harry
33:00why haven't you
33:04i am here to be your conscience
33:07to save you
33:09from yourself
33:14she will come back
33:18when linus returns to his ship
33:21persephone will return to foster
33:24and i know you well enough to predict that you will act as though you couldn't care less
33:28whether she is here or not
33:31do you really want her to wonder about that
33:34this is none of your concern harry
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 shropshire
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
34:11sleeping during that lecture at harrow
34:16hades does not sit back and wait for persephone
34:20when the time came
34:22hades slipped past the hellhounds
34:24and ventured into the realm of the living
34:25to reclaim his bride
34:29i do not remember that
34:31hmm
34:33hades was no pamsie fribble
34:35adam
34:37and i'd bet a pony
34:38his persephone
34:41knew exactly how her husband
34:43felt about her
34:45so
34:46and they felt so
34:46i
34:48i
34:52i
35:13i
35:24Are you sure you're warm enough?
35:27I'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 out of lying and saying that
35:44you seem to miss the castle.
35:50I do.
35:52Then why do you seem so sad
35:53whenever anyone mentions you going back?
35:55I do not merely think it is because you'll miss us.
35:59Probably because I'm not entirely certain
36:01what I will find when I return.
36:06You could always just stay here.
36:10My heart is there.
36:13I hope the castle knows how fortunate he is.
36:38Anna.
36:44How have you come to take me home?
36:47When you're ready.
36:50But I...
36:51I wanted to see Shropshire.
36:56To see where you grew up.
36:58You did.
36:59And get to know your family.
37:06And I...
37:08I...
37:11Hades 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
37:28until 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?
37:46Yes.
37:47She was.
38:02Why did Hades go after her?
38:08He must have loved her.
38:09Oh, he did.
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
38:30than he could ever offer?
38:33Oh, Adam.
38:34Am I too late?
38:37Is there nothing that I can...
38:38You said you belong at Fauston.
38:42Only at Fauston.
38:45I belong with you.
39:07I do love you, Adam.
39:12I do love you, Adam.
39:21The Tom would not believe it
39:22even if they heard you say that.
39:25We shall have to convince them.
39:28I may enjoy London yet.
39:31Does this mean I can come to your castle?
39:36Our castle
39:38is in need of a good exploration.
39:41Perhaps if you have no other plans
39:43for Christmas
39:44you could undertake one then.
39:48Athena!
39:49Daphne!
39:51You realize you will bring
39:53the rest of the family
39:54and Fauston will be overrun with people.
40:01Well, there is probably a chance
40:03I will be in a foul mood
40:05from time to time.
40:09You may once again have to save me
40:11from myself.
40:15You have done that, do you know?
40:22Oh, my Persephone.
40:26Do you know that I would have come for you
40:29no matter how far you've gone?
40:34Hades always came for Persephone.
40:41And she always returned home.
40:47Always.
40:51Always.
40:52Always.
40:53Always.
40:55Always.
40:56Always.
40:56Always.
41:25Always.
