Short filmTranscript
00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day, James 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. Jay.
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?
00:01:15The 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.
00:01:47Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:59Miss, Mr. Vale has come.
00:02:03Miss, Mr. Vale has come home and this was the end.
00:02:15No one has come to be near the end.
00:02:16The end is not too late.
00:02:19We have to prepare the two or an hour before the Trailer's wedding.
00:02:21Miss, Mr. Vale has come to see the tailgate.
00:02:23Miss, Mr. Vale has come to see another one.
00:02:33that is not jane fenwick that's the younger sister the younger sister but she's the
00:02:38illegitimate one i should think good lord what an insult to the honor of the house of wyndham
00:02:47why elizabeth why would you put her in jane's place how could you replace my legitimate daughter
00:02:53and have elizabeth marry the earl instead how dare you reginald please not here
00:03:02miss fenwick yes my lord you are not miss jane fenwick yes 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 i have no right to ask anything of you but
00:03:26marry me please unbeg me
00:03:35ladies and gentlemen i thank you for your attendance this morning it is my honor to present to you
00:03:44my bride
00:03:57on the night of my sister's wedding i became a countess
00:04:15where is lord edward his lordship was called away to london on urgent business
00:04:19you may move to thornwood later today
00:04:26he didn't even hear my explanation he left without signing the marriage papers
00:04:32perhaps he never meant to sign them at all is this some kind of punishment for taking my sister's place
00:05:01she's up for mother
00:05:11None of us attended
00:05:12But I've heard every detail
00:05:15They say the sister ran off
00:05:16And the younger one took her place
00:05:18Showed up in riding clothes no less
00:05:20You do keep well informed, Dorothea
00:05:23Tell me, was she truly in riding clothes?
00:05:26Mrs. Milsom's daughter was sitting in the front rows
00:05:28She said when the cloak fell
00:05:29The entire church went silent for a full five seconds
00:05:32Five seconds?
00:05:33When was the last time you managed that?
00:05:35I've never had the pleasure of causing such a spectacle
00:05:38Poor Earl
00:05:38Poor? I don't think so
00:05:40He doesn't do anything out of pity
00:05:42He has his reasons
00:05:43A piece of Fenwick land, an old debt, something of that sort
00:05:46As for the girl
00:05:47I'd wager she's some wild little country girl
00:05:50Hard carely fit for society
00:05:51Likely doesn't even know her manners
00:05:59Who is that over there?
00:06:01A gardener or one of the maids
00:06:04Just look at the state of her
00:06:05About that level I'd say
00:06:08Edward's new wife can't be much better
00:06:10You? The one picking strawberries, come here
00:06:19Are you speaking to me?
00:06:20Of course, who else could I be speaking to?
00:06:34Pour us some tea
00:06:41My dear, do stay for a cup of tea before you go
00:06:51Oh, how clumsy
00:06:57Lady Winfond, your tea is ready
00:06:59The housekeeper says there are new letters for your attention
00:07:02If you would come with me
00:07:11You're Edward's new wife?
00:07:22My lady
00:07:26That's my girl
00:07:28My lord
00:07:33Tell lady Windward that I
00:07:34Wait
00:07:40Give this to lady Windward
00:07:42And
00:07:46Yes, my lord
00:07:54Please excuse me
00:08:00You saw that, didn't you?
00:08:02The way she carried herself
00:08:03Deliberate
00:08:04Every bit of it
00:08:05Pretending to be a servant
00:08:06Just to make fools of us
00:08:07Yes, very deliberate
00:08:09Married and riding clothes
00:08:10Picking strawberries herself
00:08:12Hair in that state
00:08:13What?
00:08:14On earth has Edward brought home?
00:08:16What indeed
00:08:18I am curious how you intend to finish that sentence, Dorothea
00:08:21Who do you think you are?
00:08:22A country girl who stumbled into a title through a farcical wedding?
00:08:26What right do you have?
00:08:27Today you sit in my garden
00:08:29At my table, drinking tea you brought yourself
00:08:31And you didn't so many announce your arrival
00:08:32If you know your cousin as you say you do
00:08:34You'd know he dislikes being disturbed
00:08:36Next time, send word ahead
00:08:38I'll have tea prepared
00:08:39Properly hot, not scolding
00:08:41My lady
00:08:42The Earl will be arriving shortly
00:08:44He asks that you come out to receive him
00:08:48Is my cousin back?
00:08:50I haven't seen him in ages
00:08:52I'll go greet him as well
00:08:53Lady Dorothea
00:08:54Lord Edward has made it clear that
00:08:56Now that he is married
00:08:58All visitors are to be received
00:09:00Only with Lady Winewield's consent
00:09:11Please lead the way
00:09:13My apologies, my lady
00:09:15His lordship has been called away again
00:09:17He did, however, leave strict instructions
00:09:19That you are not to be disturbed
00:09:20This was just delivered for you
00:09:30Word has it his trip to London
00:09:31Had less to do with business
00:09:32And more to do with rekindling an old flame
00:09:34Cecilia Marlott
00:09:35His mother's goddaughter
00:09:37They were raised together at Thornwood, apparently
00:09:41What happened after?
00:09:43She married an old duke in Wales
00:09:46Poor girl
00:09:47You feel sorry for her?
00:09:49Her husband just died
00:09:52She's inherited a fortune
00:09:54Who knows?
00:09:55She might come back
00:09:56You'd better secure Lord Edward's affections while you can
00:10:00I have not seen him since our wedding
00:10:02What?
00:10:03How could that possibly be?
00:10:05It was wrong of me to take my sister's place and marry him that day
00:10:08I never thought beyond that
00:10:11Oh my dear
00:10:12What a cruel twist of fate
00:10:14You were meant to go to London to study
00:10:16And now you're trapped in this cold, dreadful place
00:10:20So his affections were already given elsewhere
00:10:23And I've only trapped him here
00:10:31After all
00:10:32What is there between Lord Edward and me
00:10:34But a signature in the parish register
00:10:36A tranquil life that suits me well enough
00:10:41So cold
00:10:47Elizabeth
00:10:49Consider this my return for the insult
00:10:51Enjoy finding your way across Thornwood with nothing on
00:11:09Oh no
00:11:10Oh no
00:11:25Who's there?
00:11:30Stop!
00:11:31Stop right there!
00:11:33I am the Countess of Wyndham
00:11:36I command you to stop
00:11:37You have no idea what it means to offend the Countess of Wyndham
00:11:49My Lord, this is...
00:11:51I can explain
00:11:54Please do not
00:11:58You may...
00:11:59You may turn around now
00:12:06My Lord!
00:12:07This is entirely unnecessary
00:12:09I assure you
00:12:10I am quite capable of...
00:12:11You are barefoot on Flint
00:12:13Kindly be still
00:12:21My Lord
00:12:24I'm here
00:12:25I still owe you an explanation
00:12:27Are you willing to hear it now?
00:12:31As you can see
00:12:32I'm not otherwise occupied
00:12:36I took my sister's place
00:12:38And married you that day
00:12:39Because...
00:12:40Because I wanted my mother
00:12:41To stop being beaten
00:12:43I see
00:12:47You didn't need to do any of this
00:12:50The moment you said
00:12:51I do at that altar
00:12:52You fulfilled the agreement
00:12:53You 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
00:13:13You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornworth
00:13:16Including the right to know your husband
00:13:31Cecilia
00:13:32Cecilia Marlowe
00:13:34The girl Edward grew up with
00:13:40Milo...
00:13:41Edward
00:13:41Sit down
00:13:45May I ask you a question?
00:13:46Please do
00:13:48Is there someone else you care for?
00:13:51In London, perhaps?
00:13:57Are you angry with me
00:13:58For leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:00Not in the least
00:14:01I only mean to say
00:14:03I've no objection to any other attachments you may have
00:14:05This 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
00:14:13Would you believe me?
00:14:17I... yes
00:14:18I believe I would
00:14:30Elizabeth
00:14:31You are the only Lady Windorf
00:14:33I should like
00:14:35If you're willing
00:14:37To 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
00:14:53Yes
00:15:04Elizabeth
00:15:06Yes
00:15:07You are frightened
00:15:12I... I'm not
00:15:13I mean it would be entirely reasonable for you to...
00:15:19I will not require anything of you tonight
00:15:22I beg your pardon
00:15:23You heard me
00:15:25But... it is... it is your right
00:15:28I am aware of what the law allows me
00:15:31But that isn't the measure I intend to follow
00:15:36Good night, Elizabeth
00:15:39Does he not want me?
00:16:09Edward
00:16:17This isn't helpful.
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, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:37He arranged all of this.
00:17:39What does he take me for?
00:17:39It 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.
00:18:06Lady Wyndham, how lovely to find you here.
00:18:12And all on your own.
00:18:15Rupert.
00:18:16You know Lady Wyndham, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:27Miss Fenwick.
00:18:47My apologies, Lady Winford.
00:18:48The understanding of one another's character.
00:18:50How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:57My lady, a 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, why 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 and 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.
00:20:16Deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband who...
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.
00:20:53Allow 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 them?
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.
00:21:42You must forgive me.
00:21:43I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:47Lady Wyndham sought me out.
00:21:48Elizabeth!
00:21:49How 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...
00:22:00try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:02I'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.
00:22:16You will address me correctly.
00:22:17Or you will not address me at all.
00:22:19You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:36I'm not worth the courtesy.
00:22:37My 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 i seem to have arrived a moment too late

00:30:05Vale will see you in.
00:30:06I shall belong.
00:30:10Of course.
00:30:35Free.
00:30:50That's Edward's mother.
00:30:53She looks so young to find.
00:30:57Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:02I am...
00:31:11Lady Wyndon.
00:31:15I 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 Marlop.
00:31:28Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:31The woman Edward wants life to life.
00:31:35Your Grace.
00:31:37The 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.
00:31:45Shall we?
00:31:46Lady Adelaide summoned me.
00:31:47Yet she's here.
00:31:49Was 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.
00:32:32I write.
00:32:33I 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.
00:32:43Not 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 Ravensbrow made 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 how one is meant to begin.
00:34:16Nor am I.
00:34:22I should warn you there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:2523.
00:34:2523.
00:34:29I see.
00:34:44I confess I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...
00:34:49Elizabeth.
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 how 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.
00:35:43Let's begin.
00:35:45Let's begin.
00:36:12Let's begin.
00:36:26All right, you absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:31I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:32Elizabeth Winwyn, née Fenwork.
00:36:35You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just discovered something rather
00:36:41surprising about the world.
00:36:43Was it? Was it Friday?
00:36:47You are incorrible.
00:36:49I am your oldest friend and I deserve details. Was he?
00:36:52He was... considerate. Extraordinary so.
00:36:58How?
00:36:59He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:04Before anything else. Several times, in fact.
00:37:09Good lord.
00:37:10That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:12And afterward, in the morning...
00:37:16He said, come back to bed.
00:37:19As though I'd been there all 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. Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:57There's a plank in the ditch.
00:37:59Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:13Lizzie.
00:38:14How can I pass?
00:38:27Same as ever.
00:38:29Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:31The road found me.
00:38:33I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:36Of course you were. You always were.
00:38:40Edgar Lemmicks, a viscous son.
00:38:43The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall, charcoal everywhere.
00:38:48My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean. Then he left for Italy.
00:38:53Is that... Edgar? I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:06I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox. I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:10Forgive me, I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:14I hope you are well, Lady Wind...
00:39:15I am. Thank you.
00:39:17Give my regards to Lord Windov.
00:39:28Six years without a word, and now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:31He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:33Perhaps not. Lord Windare is worth ten of him, you know that, don't you?
00:39:39Come. The road is clear now.
00:39:47She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:49A married woman smiling at a man like that, out in the open road.
00:39:52She stepped away from him, Georgie. That much was plain enough.
00:39:55I shall tell Edward. I shall tell him exactly what I saw, and he will...
00:39:58Do 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. It concerns your wife.
00:40:18Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:20I was riding this morning, along the north road. I saw her, with a man.
00:40:26They were standing awfully close together, and he...
00:40:28Close together, you say?
00:40:29Why yes, and he... he 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. He called her Lizzy.
00:40:39What was the man's name?
00:40:41Lennox. Edgar Lennox.
00:40:43I've heard of this Edgar Lennox. The Viscount's son.
00:40:45The one who has been off painting in Italy for the past six years.
00:40:48Then you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:50You followed her?
00:40:51No. I just happened to be passing by her.
00:40:54Georgiana.
00:40:57Elizabeth is Lady Windworm. She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:01Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time.
00:41:04Such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:07You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar country woman.
00:41:11Go home, Georgina.
00:41:16Edgar Lennox.
00:41:20My lady.
00:41:22His lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:26Did he indicate the purpose of said inquiry?
00:41:28He said he'd like to, and I quote precisely, take you out for a ride.
00:41:32He mentioned the North Meadow.
00:41:36Please convey to his lordship that I shall be ready in twenty 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 to converse about the weather.
00:41:53You encountered Edgar Lennox on 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 and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgement.
00:42:13I thought you should know that I sent her right away.
00:42:16He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me.
00:42:19It's because he wished to inform me he 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, you need not thank me.
00:42:34Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy.
00:42:36He may want to consider spending six more.
00:42:39The further he remains from 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 on the wrong person.
00:43:09Has he any engagements away from Thornwood?
00:43:12He leaves for Dertshire on Thursday.
00:43:16He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:27Edward chose her.
00:43:32Very well.
00:43:34Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:47She still harbors feelings for me.
00:43:57He's his favorite partner.
00:44:04O.
00:44:04The way he is.
00:44:05The way he is.
00:44:11A.
00:44:12D.
00:44:14The way he is.
00:44:15East wing old timber frames.
00:44:17It's three stories of curtains,
00:44:19And correspondence and everything Edward window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:24And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:34Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:37Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to you.
00:44:52Elizabeth!
00:45:06My lord! It began in the lower story.
00:45:08Where's Lady Winder?
00:45:09We have not been able to find Lady Winder.
00:45:12But we brought someone out from the east wing.
00:45:15A man.
00:45:18Elizabeth, she's still inside.
00:45:24And just how are you so sure Lady Windham is in there?
00:45:27What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:30Edward, I'm so sorry. I did not wish to be the one...
00:45:33What is that in your hand?
00:45:36Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:38I received a note. I believed it to be...
00:45:41You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:46Edward.
00:45:47You must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:50Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:52Of course she's inside. That wicked adult is sure to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:45:58Edward!
00:46:02Edward!
00:46:04Miss, don't! It's not safe in there!
00:46:07My brother! Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:10Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:14He ran head first into that fire. For her.
00:46:26Henry, how did the fire start? Why are all of you just standing here? And you, what are you doing
00:46:31here?
00:46:31You, you're not stuck in the fire?
00:46:34Why on earth would I venture to the east wing in the middle of the night?
00:46:37You wretched creature. How did you get so lucky?
00:46:40No matter. Edward just ran to his death. You have no one to rely on now. And as a Duchess,
00:46:45shall be my god-begin right to walk all over you.
00:46:48My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire.
00:46:51You what? Why?
00:46:53Elizabeth! Elizabeth! My brother is still in there!
00:46:57What do we do? He ran in because he thought you were trapped inside! Oh 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.
00:47:21It was you!
00:47:25Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:28No! I had nothing to do with that letter! He's slanting me!
00:47:35Edward!
00:47:39Elizabeth, go back.
00:47:53Foolish woman.
00:47:54Reckless man.
00:48:04I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:07You're safe.
00:48:12I...
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?
00:48:26You went in there for me.
00:48:28I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:30Oh, Elizabeth. Whatever am I gonna 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.
00:49:03But 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...
00:49:25Arrangements were considered.
00:49:26By my mother.
00:49:28By Cecilia's family.
00:49:30I knew they were in favor of me.
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. There'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.
00:50:07Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:09There are about two hours left until dawn.
00:50:12Perhaps you might like to watch the sunrise with me?
00:50:18Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:25May I?
00:50:27Yes, you may.
00:50:37This...
00:50:39This is what home feels like.
00:50:51My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensville has called upon you.
00:50:55I informed her that you are not at leisure, but...
00:50:57She still has not taken her leave.
00:51:00Show her in, Henry.
00:51:08Thank you for seeing me, Edward.
00:51:10Say 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.
00:51:37I 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 Thornworld 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,
00:52:07established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:08cultivate my sister's trust,
00:52:10and forge 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, Cecilia.
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! You can't treat me this way!
00:52:39I'm the Dowage Guchess 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. I do.
00:53:10Good.
00:53:12Now 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.
00:54:58May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:00I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:07Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:55:20Edgar.
00:55:22He's gone.
00:55:24I know.
00:55:25The King offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:28If he is a talented man, it would have been a waste.
00:55:31Edward.
00:55:33Yes.
00:55:38I 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!
00:55:58Elizabeth.
00:55:58Elizabeth.
00:56:01Elizabeth.
00:56:07Elizabeth.
00:56:08Elizabeth!
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.
00:56:40Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:56:52Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:56:59So, we're going to have a child.
00:57:05Yes.
00:57:07Yes, we are.
00:57:09This 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.
00:57:28I know I needn't thank the man I married.
00:57:32But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:58:02And I'm sorry, I haven't seen her in the morning.
00:58:04No, no, no.
00:58:04In the morning I have haunted my house.
00:58:20Well, it's a Bagus.
00:58:21No.
00:58:28Not very nice.
00:58:28It's not even.
00:58:55Ah, Elizabeth.
00:58:57To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:01Come with me, Mother, now.
00:59:07This 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.
00:59:38Mother, I 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.
00:59:48Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:05Margaret!
01:00:10Keep moving.
01:00:12Don't look back.
01:00:16Elizabeth!
01:00:21It's Edward!
01:00:37He's coming after us.
01:00:45Lord Wyndham, what an honour.
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...
01:01:00By 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...
01:01:28The Fenwid estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:33Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:36To me, the roof you sleep under, the fields you work on, the 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, you will
01:02:04lose 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.
01:02:33No.
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... is he a good man, your lord?
01:02:59He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:00Don't get me an even.
01:03:03And you will be genuine.
01:03:12I dunno.
01:03:15Old year for up for dinner.
01:03:15I'm gonna love for our people.
01:03:16What should I do?
01:03:32How long will you be gone for?
01:03:34Four months, perhaps.
01:03:39I don't wish to go.
01:03:41I know.
01:03:42I 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.
01:04:14Promise you'll write me.

01:07:33Edward!

01:07:34Take my hand!
01:07:46Yes, what is it?
01:07:48I think, I think the child is coming.
01:08:09My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:13Move.
01:08:35Your first child?
01:08:37Yes.
01:08:38I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road.
01:08:40The 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.
01:08:50The Dowager Grednas?
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.
01:09:01Don'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, Lady Windery is well.
01:09:24You have a son.
01:09:25come to eat.
01:09:29you have a son.
01:09:30You have a son.
01:09:36He has your eyes.
01:09:41Why am I there?
01:09:52Her Royal Highness
01:09:53The 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
01:10:38There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees
01:10:42Dogs, a horse
01:10:43And a man who looked rather displeased
01:10:45To find a woman wading about in 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
01:10:52And then you told him your name I presume
01:10:54Yes, 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
01:11:01Are 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
01:11:21Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:24None at all
01:11:24Which means he wants it to be a surprise
01:11:26But 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 wife
01:11:40Good heavens
01:11:41A joint honour
01:11:42And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:46Are you nervous?
01:11:48I'd be lying if I said I wasn't
01:11:50Do 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
01:12:06I'll be standing right beside you
01:12:08Shall we?
01:12:15Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:18How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:21You look magnificent
01:12:22I know
01:12:23And I feel magnificent
01:12:28With the honour of the crowd
01:12:30And in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty
01:12:33I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham
01:12:36And Lady Elizabeth Wyndham
01:12:37To the rank of Marcus and Martiance of Thornfield
01:12:50To the rank of Marcus and Martiance of Thornfield
01:12:56And thereby
