00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day.
00:00:08Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth.
00:00:11Our debts will be cleared.
00:00:14Father's honor restored.
00:00:35It's Elizabeth! This is 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.
00:00:53I'm so sorry it had to be you who found this. Don't come looking for me.
00:00:56Jane.
00:00:59Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Windwick,
00:01:03the Fenwick family will 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,
00:01:24it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47I know.
00:01:51Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:53There's no time.
00:01:54Whatf.
00:01:57Yes!
00:01:57Yes!
00:02:18Too late.
00:02:18What?
00:02:18As an egg no.
00:02:18Hello!
00:02:21Is she dead?
00:02:34That is not Jane Fenric, that's the younger sister.
00:02:37The younger sister, but she's...
00:02:39The illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:41Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth?
00:02:49Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter, and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:57How dare you!
00:02:58Rachel, please, not here.
00:03:00I can't wait to see you.
00:03:02Miss Fenric.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:06You are not Miss Jane Fenric.
00:03:09Yes, my lord. I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation, and I fully intend to give you one.
00:03:17My lord, I know this isn't what you agreed to.
00:03:20I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:27Marry me.
00:03:28Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:36Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:41It is my honour to present to you...
00:03:44My bride.
00:03:58On the night of my sister's wedding, I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:17His lordship was called away to London on urgent business.
00:04:20You may move to Thormitt later today.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:30He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:33Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:36Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:05:01He's up to motherland.
00:05:11none of us attended but i've heard every detail they say the sister ran off and the younger one
00:05:18took her place showed up in riding clothes no less you do keep well informed dorothea
00:05:24tell me was she truly in riding clothes mrs milson's daughter was sitting in the front

00:09:21this was just delivered for you

00:09:34old flame
00:09:35cecilia marlott his mother's goddaughter they were raised together at thornwood apparently
00:09:42what happened after she married an old duke in wales

00:09:57you'd better secure lord edward's affections while you can
00:10:01i have not seen him since our wedding
00:10:03what how could that possibly be
00:10:05it was wrong of me to take my sister's place and marry him that day
00:10:10i never thought beyond that
00:10:12oh my dear
00:10:13what a cruel twist of fate
00:10:15you were meant to go to london to study
00:10:17and now you're trapped in this cold dreadful place
00:10:20so his affections were already given elsewhere
00:10:24and i've only trapped him here
00:10:32after all what is there between lord edward and me but a signature in the parish register
00:10:37a tranquil life that suits me well alone
00:10:42so cold
00:10:48elizabeth
00:10:50consider this my return for the insult
00:10:53enjoy finding your way across thornwood with nothing on
00:11:09oh
00:11:10oh no
00:11:11oh no
00:11:12oh
00:11:34I'm the Countess of Wyndham, I command you to stop.
00:11:39You have no idea what it means to offend the Countess of Wyndham.
00:11:50My Lord, this is... I can explain.
00:11:55Please do not.
00:11:59You may... you may turn around now.
00:12:07My Lord, this is entirely unnecessary.
00:12:10I assure you, I am quite capable of...
00:12:12...you are barefoot on Flint. Kindly be still.
00:12:22My Lord...
00:12:25I'm here.
00:12:26I still owe you an explanation. Are you willing to hear it now?
00:12:32As you can see, I'm not otherwise occupied.
00:12:37I took my sister's place and married you that day because... because I wanted my mother to stop being beaten.
00:12:44I see.
00:12:48You didn't need to do any of this. The moment you said I do at that altar, you fulfilled the
00:12:54agreement. You owe me nothing more.
00:12:56So this is all just an agreement to you? Nothing more?
00:13:00Is it not?
00:13:01I don't make a habit of saying things I don't mean.
00:13:07That's the first time he said my name. I understand, my Lord.
00:13:11Call me Edward. I've married you. You're my wife. You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornworth, including
00:13:17the right to know your husband.
00:13:18You're my wife. You're my wife. You're my wife. You're my wife.
00:13:32Cecilia. Cecilia Marlow. The girl Edward grew up with.
00:13:41Milo. Edward.
00:13:42Sit down.
00:13:46Milo.
00:13:46May I ask you a question?
00:13:48Please do.
00:13:49Is there someone else you care for? In London, perhaps?
00:13:58Are you angry with me for leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:01Not in the least. I only mean to say, I've no objection to any other attachments you may have.
00:14:07This marriage serves both our families. I have no wish to be a petty, jealous Countess.
00:14:12And if I were to tell you there is no such person, would you believe me?
00:14:18I... yes. I believe I would.
00:14:32Elizabeth, you are the only Lady Windorf. I should like, if you're willing, to have a true marriage. In every
00:14:41sense.
00:14:43In every sense. Is he asking me to bear an heir for the Wyndham line?
00:14:50Come in.
00:14:53It is late.
00:14:54Yes.
00:15:06Elizabeth.
00:15:08Yes.
00:15:10You are frightened.
00:15:13I'm not. I mean, it would be entirely reasonable for you to...
00:15:16Elizabeth.
00:15:21I will not require anything of you tonight.
00:15:24I beg your pardon.
00:15:25You heard me.
00:15:27But... it is... it is your right.
00:15:29I am aware of what the law allows me.
00:15:33But that isn't the measure I intend to follow.
00:15:37Good night, Elizabeth.
00:15:41Does he not want me?
00:15:42Everton.
00:15:46It is the least sort of avete of course 6.
00:16:06Huata Xiii.
00:16:11Shrine is truly the exact same thing.
00:16:19This isn't helpful.
00:17:05God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:08I must be out of my mind.
00:17:10My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:15Coming!
00:17:30I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:38He arranged all of this. What does he take me for?
00:17:41It would appear that his lordship is determined to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:55I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening.
00:18:08Lady Windham, how lovely to find you here.
00:18:13And all on your own.
00:18:16Rupert. You know Lady Winda, I believe.
00:18:19Miss Fenwick.
00:18:22My apologies, Lady Winford. The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:27Good evening, Miss Vane. Mr. Bellamy. Rupert and I have some happy news. We're to be formally
00:18:34engaged at the McKeelmas Hall.
00:18:36Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me. Though I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:41Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional. Years of acquaintance, shared society, a genuine understanding of one another's
00:18:51character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:58My lady. A message for you.
00:19:07Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight. Enjoy the party.
00:19:16Another entire evening to yourself. One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Windham chose to marry me, Dorothea. I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:30Come, Rupert. It's been ages since I last danced. He must indulge me this evening.
00:19:52Lady Windham. What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:55Mr. Bellman. I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:58Ah, yes. I stepped out for some air. And seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford. Marriage suits you.
00:20:06Thank you. I believe I should return home.
00:20:08No need to hurry. It's a fine night.
00:20:10That's enough, Mr. Bellman.
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth. A woman as young as you. As lovely as you.
00:20:17Deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband who...
00:20:19That's enough! Mr. Bellman.
00:20:22I mean it kindly.
00:20:34Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:52Lady Windham. You are going the wrong way. Allow me to show you out.
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellman. Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:10And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:22There is no need to be alarmed. I only wish to talk.
00:21:26Then speak from where you stand.
00:21:30My dear.
00:21:35Stop!
00:21:39What do you think you're doing?
00:21:43Dorothea, you must forgive me.
00:21:45I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:48Lady Windham sought me out.
00:21:49Elizabeth!
00:21:50How dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this?
00:21:53That is not...
00:21:54I mean no disrespect.
00:21:55But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain.
00:21:58Good Lord.
00:21:59Did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:04I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable.
00:22:08I shall inform Lord Edward at once he'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation.
00:22:12Now, apologize to my fiancé. At once.
00:22:16Miss Vane, you will address me correctly or you will not address me at all.
00:22:20You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:37My lord. Thank God you're here.
00:22:41Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:43We were only trying to...
00:22:44When did he arrive?
00:22:46How much did he hear?
00:22:47Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward.
00:23:03Edward.
00:23:04My apologies.
00:23:05I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:09Good Lord!
00:23:10Has Lord Windham really ruined a hundred-year-old young maize?
00:23:15You're a wife of such low worth.
00:23:20Let every person here who has dishonored my wife hear me.
00:23:24Before this night is over, you will regret it.
00:23:27Yes, my lord!
00:23:28Edward!
00:23:29What?
00:23:30My lord!
00:23:31I am your cousin!
00:23:33You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:35If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter, I've over fifty others just like you.
00:23:46Grateful girl!
00:23:48What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:52You wretched boy!
00:23:54I paid off your gambling seats with the Earl's own money!
00:23:57How dare you make yourself a nuisance before him and his wife!
00:24:03You have endured enough.
00:24:06Home awaits us.
00:24:10Edward, you must know.
00:24:12I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out.
00:24:14I...
00:24:14I know.
00:24:14I know precisely what kind of man he is.
00:24:17I believe you, Elizabeth.
00:24:19We have been married for a few days now.
00:24:22We have.
00:24:24And I find I know remarkably little about you.
00:24:27I believe goes both ways.
00:24:28Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that.
00:24:31We might begin...
00:24:33With a kiss.
00:24:35He's asking to kiss me.
00:24:37On horseback.
00:24:38Out in the open, in the middle of the night.
00:24:41God knows how long I've waited for this moment.
00:24:44You have my permission.
00:25:01It's all right.
00:25:03He's settled now.
00:25:10We're home.
00:25:13My lord.
00:25:14My lady.
00:25:23I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth.
00:25:25Shortly?
00:25:27What does he mean, shortly?
00:25:28Tonight?
00:25:29I thought I had rather expected.
00:25:31I seem to have expected it more than I realised.
00:25:33Yes.
00:25:34Shortly then.
00:25:49Of course.
00:25:51Of all nights, it would be this one.
00:26:02Come in.
00:26:06There's something I must tell you.
00:26:07It concerns a...
00:26:09Domestic matter.
00:26:12I see.
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:19Please, God.
00:26:20Let him understand without making me say it outright.
00:26:24Come.
00:26:35No.
00:26:36Not like this.
00:26:39How are you feeling?
00:26:41Rather better, thank you.
00:26:43Forgive me.
00:26:44Elizabeth.
00:26:45Yes?
00:26:46Stop apologising.
00:26:47Yes, very well.
00:26:52Elizabeth.
00:26:54No.
00:27:19Elizabeth.

00:32:39most people do
00:32:40when they can't shoot

00:34:01she had no intention
00:34:02of neglecting you today
00:34:03I understand
00:34:05Georgiana and the Duchess
00:34:06of Ravensbrow
00:34:07made the afternoon
00:34:07quite agree
00:34:08it's Friday
00:34:12so it is
00:34:14I must admit
00:34:16I am not entirely certain
00:34:17how one is meant
00:34:18to begin
00:34:18nor am I
00:34:24I should warn you
00:34:25there are rather
00:34:26a great many hooks
00:34:2723
00:34:31I see
00:34:46I confess
00:34:47I don't quite know
00:34:49what
00:34:50I'm meant to do
00:34:51with my
00:34:52Elizabeth
00:34:54you are not supposed
00:34:56to do anything
00:35:04the desk
00:35:06I thought you might
00:35:07find it easier
00:35:08to begin with
00:35:11I did not realize
00:35:12how warm his hands
00:35:13would feel
00:35:22breathe
00:35:23breathe
00:35:26you are going
00:35:27to suffocate
00:35:27yourself
00:35:34are you ready
00:35:35I
00:35:41I'll take that
00:35:42as a yes
00:35:45let's begin
00:36:14let's begin
00:36:28All right, you absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:35Elizabeth Winwin, named Fenwork.
00:36:38You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just discovered something rather
00:36:43surprising about the world.
00:36:45Was it? Was it Friday?
00:36:50You are incorrible.
00:36:52I am your oldest friend and I deserve details. Was he...
00:36:54He was... considerate.
00:36:59Extraordinary so.
00:37:01How?
00:37:02He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:06Before anything else.
00:37:08Several times, in fact.
00:37:11Good Lord.
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:14And afterward, in the morning.
00:37:19He said come back to bed.
00:37:22As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:24Only meant to return.
00:37:26He held my hand.
00:37:30Lizzie.
00:37:33Don't.
00:37:34You like him.
00:37:37I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:45We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:55We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:57Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:59There's a plank in the ditch.
00:38:02Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:16Lizzie.
00:38:16How can I pass?
00:38:18How can I pass?
00:38:29Same as ever.
00:38:31Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:34The road found me.
00:38:35I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:38Of course you were. You always were.
00:38:43Edgar Lemmicks, a viscous son. The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:49Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean. Then he left for Italy.
00:38:56Is that... Edgar?
00:38:58I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:09I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox. I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:13Forgive me, I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:16I hope you are well, Lady Wind...
00:39:18I am. Thank you.
00:39:20Give my regards to Lord Windov.
00:39:31Six years without a word, and now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:36Perhaps not. Lord Windare is worth ten of him, you know that, don't you?
00:39:42Come. The road is clear now.
00:39:49She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:51A married woman smiling at a man like that, out in the open road.
00:39:55She stepped away from him, Georgie. That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward. I shall tell him exactly what I saw, and he will do as you think best,
00:40:02my dear.
00:40:04You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:18Edward, there's something I must tell you. It concerns your wife.
00:40:21Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:24I was riding this morning, along the north road.
00:40:26I saw her, with a man.
00:40:28They were standing awfully close together, and he...
00:40:31Close together, you say?
00:40:32Why yes, and he... he took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:36And then?
00:40:37She drew back in the end.
00:40:39But she knew him well, Edward. He called her Lizzy.
00:40:42What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox. Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son, the one who has been off painting in Italy for the
00:40:50past six years.
00:40:51Then you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:53You followed her.
00:40:54No. I just happened to be passing by her.
00:40:57Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windworm. She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:03Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time, such matters are of
00:41:08importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar country woman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgiana.
00:41:19Edgar Lennox.
00:41:23My lady.
00:41:25His lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:29Did he indicate the purpose of said inquiry?
00:41:31He said he'd like to, and I quote precisely, take you out for a ride.
00:41:35He mentioned the North Meadow.
00:41:38Please convey to his lordship that I shall be ready in twenty minutes.
00:41:41Of course, my lady.
00:41:50Georgiana paid me a visit this morning.
00:41:53I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather.
00:41:56You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning.
00:42:05I did. Our carriage came to grief in the mud. He assisted with freeing the wheel.
00:42:12Georgiana is young, and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgement. I thought you should know that I
00:42:17sent her right away.
00:42:18He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me. It's because he wished to inform me he
00:42:24sent Georgiana away. He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:31Thank you, Edward.
00:42:32For what?
00:42:33We're married, you need not thank me.
00:42:36Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy. He may want to consider spending six more. The further he remains
00:42:43from my wife, the better.
00:42:52I cannot believe this. He sent me away.
00:42:58Tell me what happened.
00:43:04He accused me of following her. He is a loyal man, always has been. And now his loyalty is wasted
00:43:09on the wrong person.
00:43:12Has he any engagements away from Thornwood?
00:43:15He leaves for Dutcher on Thursday.
00:43:19He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:30Edward chose her.
00:43:35Very well. Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:50She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:06$3,000 of the night.
00:44:07Not enough.
00:44:11I've heard her.
00:44:14No.
00:44:18Thank you, either.
00:44:18We are not looking for this choice.
00:44:18Everything came from his relationship with his other beautiful Tamar.
00:44:20You would need for me to follow his stupid curiosity.
00:44:20If you were Also.
00:44:20I will.
00:44:20Is to theèmeran.
00:44:24I got him.
00:44:24Though may be the other way.
00:44:25I'll be afraid.
00:44:27He may not know him.
00:44:28A single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:37Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:40Once Edward lays eyes on her charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:45:09My lord! It began in the lower story.
00:45:12Where's Lady Winda?
00:45:13We have not been able to find Lady Winda.
00:45:15But we brought someone out from the east wing. A man.
00:45:21Elizabeth, she's still inside.
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Winda is in there? What were you doing at Thornfield in the
00:45:32middle of the night?
00:45:34Edward, I'm so sorry. I did not wish to be the one...
00:45:36What is that in your hand?
00:45:39Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:42I received a note. I believed it. You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:49Edward, you must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:54Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:55Of course she's inside that wicked adult. She ought to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:46:02Edward!
00:46:06Miss Goat! It's not safe in there!
00:46:10My brother! Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:13Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:17Miss Goat!
00:46:18He ran head first into that fire. For her.
00:46:29Henry, how did the fire start? Why are all of you just standing here? And you! What are you doing
00:46:34here?
00:46:35You... you're not stuck in the fire?!
00:46:37Why on earth would I venture to the east wing in the middle of the night?
00:46:40You wretched creature. How did you get so lucky?
00:46:43No matter. Edward just ran to his death. We have no one to rely on him.
00:46:48And as a duchess, it shall be my god-begin right to walk all over you.
00:46:51My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire!
00:46:55What? Why?
00:46:58Elizabeth! Elizabeth!
00:46:59Elizabeth! My brother is still in there!
00:47:00What do we do? He ran in because he thought you were trapped inside!
00:47:03Oh dear, how did this happen?
00:47:05Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:06No!
00:47:14She didn't write that note.
00:47:17She can't have written that note.
00:47:25It was you!
00:47:28Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:31No!
00:47:32No!
00:47:33I had nothing to do with that letter!
00:47:35He's slandering me!
00:47:38Edward!
00:47:43Elizabeth!
00:47:44Go back.
00:47:56Foolish woman.
00:47:58Reckless man.
00:48:08I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're safe.
00:48:16I...
00:48:17I was wrong about that.
00:48:25Not every wife would run into a burning building for her husband.
00:48:28Why did you do it?
00:48:30You went in there for me.
00:48:31I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:33Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:34Whatever am I gonna do with you?
00:48:37You.
00:48:53Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:57Edward.
00:48:59That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:49:02I know.
00:49:03As it happens, I also received a note, signed with Edgar's name.
00:49:06But I did not go to meet him.
00:49:08I'm glad to hear that.
00:49:11That's all?
00:49:14It was Cecilia.
00:49:16She did all of this.
00:49:20Cecilia.
00:49:22She is my mother's goddaughter.
00:49:24She grew up around us.
00:49:26There was a time when certain...
00:49:28...arrangements were considered.
00:49:30By my mother.
00:49:31By Cecilia's family.
00:49:33I knew they were in favor of him.
00:49:35And were you?
00:49:37I've never made any promises to Cecilia.
00:49:39If she had hopes, they were not hopes I invited or confirmed.
00:49:43As for me...
00:49:45...I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:52Edgar Leniston and I grew up together as well.
00:49:55He taught me to make charcoal drawings.
00:49:58That is the whole of it, Edward. There's nothing more.
00:50:01Well then...
00:50:03...now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:06Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:09It's Friday today.
00:50:11Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:13There are about...
00:50:14...two hours left until dawn.
00:50:16Perhaps you might like to watch the sunrise with me?
00:50:21Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:29May I?
00:50:31Yes, you may.
00:50:42This...
00:50:42...this is what home it is.
00:50:55My lord, the Dowtridge Duchess of Ravensborough has called upon you.
00:50:58I informed her that you are not at leisure, but...
00:51:01...she still has not taken her leave.
00:51:04Show her in, Henry.
00:51:11Thank you for seeing me, Edward.
00:51:13Say what you have come to say, Cecilia.
00:51:16You know very well why I am here.
00:51:19Georgiana won't see me.
00:51:20Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.
00:51:24And you've issued a formal notice.
00:51:26I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth, nor at any Wyndham property in the county.
00:51:30That's correct.
00:51:32Edward, please.
00:51:33We've known each other since we were little.
00:51:35You carried me home on your back when I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest.
00:51:39Yes, I recall.
00:51:40I also recall that during that same autumn, you told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier than a
00:51:45mere earl.
00:51:47Such was my obligation, Edward.
00:51:49You know my family's circumstances. You know I had no choice.
00:51:53And you...you waited too, Edward.
00:51:56All these years.
00:51:58A Thornfield without a mistress, without a bride-to-be.
00:52:01Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:03That's not...don't say that, Edward. You know that's not what I...
00:52:06I've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:08And in those eight months, you've come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:12cultivate my sister's trust, and forge a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:18I did what I believed was.
00:52:19I wasn't finished, Vasilia.
00:52:21You also set fire to the east wing of my home.
00:52:24You should be grateful that my wife was not there last night.
00:52:28Otherwise, you would not be standing in my study, but rather in my dungeon.
00:52:31She's not right for you, Edward. Whatever you feel now, it will pass.
00:52:35This afternoon, you will return to your home in London, and you will not come back.
00:52:40No. You can't treat me this way. I'm the Dowage Gunchess of Ravensheil!
00:52:46Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham. I am also the Prince Regent's companion.
00:52:52Do you wish what you have done to become known through all of London?
00:52:55I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sushi.
00:52:59Do you love her?
00:53:00Yes. I do.
00:53:14Good. Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:27She came back for him.
00:53:30And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:48May I come in?
00:53:50Please.
00:53:50I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:53I know.
00:53:53I'm sorry.
00:53:55I owe you an apology, Elizabeth.
00:53:57Several, in fact.
00:53:58I forgive you.
00:54:00So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:54:02Of course.
00:54:08Georgiana.
00:54:10I know you love your brother.
00:54:13And I do too.
00:54:22In all the years I've known him, he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:29I know.
00:54:30By the way, you shoot better than I do.
00:54:34You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:44I'm leaving to London as a painter summoned by the King.
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:50I had heard rumours of such an arrangement.
00:54:52The night of the fire, I saw him run into the flames to look for you.
00:54:57Without hesitation.
00:54:59That was the moment I knew I'd lost you.
00:55:02May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:04I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:10Give my regards to Lord Wynderman.
00:55:23Edgar.
00:55:25He's gone.
00:55:27I know.
00:55:28The King offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:32If he is a talented man, it would have been a waste.
00:55:35Edward.
00:55:37Yes?
00:55:41I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
00:55:45I'll take that as a compliment.
00:55:48Come.
00:55:49My Lord.
00:55:50You're welcome.
00:55:55Elizabeth!
00:56:01Elizabeth.
00:56:06Elizabeth!
00:56:11Elizabeth.
00:56:23The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord.
00:56:26However, I've noticed that Lady Winford is showing signs of fatigue.
00:56:36Pardon me?
00:56:38Congratulations, my lord.
00:56:41Yes.
00:56:43Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:57:03So, we're going to have a child.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:11Yes, we are.
00:57:13This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
00:57:19I'm sure you will want to tell your mother.
00:57:25I shall have the carriage prepared for Thursday.
00:57:27Vail will accompany you.
00:57:30And take a warm blanket.
00:57:31The mornings are cold now.
00:57:33I know I needn't thank the man I married.
00:57:36But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:57:39My mother's head.
00:57:46Oh, no.
00:58:10I don't know.
00:58:51Mother!
00:58:58Ah, Elizabeth.
00:59:01To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:05Come with me, Mother.
00:59:07Now.
00:59:10This is my house.
00:59:12She doesn't leave without my permission.
00:59:17Are you challenging the Countess of Wyndham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:29I'm pregnant.
00:59:32You're pregnant.
00:59:34Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:40Mother.
00:59:43I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:46You'll come chasing after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:53Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
00:59:56Yes.
01:00:10Margaret!
01:00:15Keep moving.
01:00:16Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth.
01:00:26It's Enric.
01:00:40It's Enric.
01:00:44Let him come.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honour.
01:00:54Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:56It is for me as well.
01:00:58Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight, and you shall not follow her.
01:01:01She's my wife, Lord Wyndham.
01:01:03By law, she's required to...
01:01:05By law, yes.
01:01:08Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:18Come in.
01:01:25My lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my lord. You have no right to...
01:01:33The Fenwood Estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:37Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:40To me, the roof you sleep under, the fields you work on, the horses in your stable...
01:01:46The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrewsbury.
01:01:50My lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost...
01:01:55I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:59Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:05If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement,
01:02:08you will lose your house, your land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:19My wife sends her regards.
01:02:32He'll take me away, I know it.
01:02:35Oh, lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:40Edward will handle everything.
01:02:43I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:45As did I.
01:02:48Elizabeth.
01:02:51Is he...
01:02:52Is he a good man, your lord?
01:03:03He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:05Mother.
01:03:07I call him.
01:03:17Now let me tell you.
01:03:20The reason is working.
01:03:23Is she?
01:03:37How long will you be gone for?
01:03:39Four months, perhaps.
01:03:44I don't wish to go.
01:03:46I know. I know you don't.
01:03:49Elizabeth, I...
01:03:51It's Friday, you know.
01:04:00I'll be gentle.
01:04:01So will I.
01:04:04Don't be too gentle.
01:04:18Promise you'll write me.
01:04:22Every day.
01:04:39My Lord, it is the 14th of March
01:04:43and your child has spent this morning
01:04:45using my ribs as a set of piano keys.
01:04:48Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy.
01:04:50And that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:52Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:54We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:04A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:07In his lordship's own hand.
01:05:11A letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:15I have read it four times, front to back.
01:05:19Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:22I find I have a great deal to tell our child
01:05:24and even more to tell you.
01:05:27Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:33My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:36Officers, I believe.
01:05:37They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:47Lady Winverde, we are here to deliver a summons
01:05:49from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:51Your presence is urgently required in London
01:05:53and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:58May I have the night to prepare?
01:06:00I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.
01:06:03The carriage is prepared.
01:06:07Very well.
01:06:09Allow me five minutes to gather my things.
01:06:21My lady, the seal on this carriage.
01:06:25I need time to verify it.
01:06:30Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger
01:06:32the other Prince Regent.
01:06:45That sound.
01:06:46This isn't the way to London.
01:06:48The Clifford.
01:06:53Stop this, Karen!
01:06:54Stop this, Karen!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:07:10Elizabeth.
01:07:13Elizabeth!
01:07:18Elizabeth!
01:07:26Elizabeth!
01:07:28Elizabeth!
01:07:28Elizabeth!
01:07:29How do you do this?
01:07:37Edward!
01:07:38Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward?
01:07:50Yes?
01:07:51What is it?
01:07:52I think...
01:07:53I think the child is coming.
01:08:14My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by His Royal Highness.
01:08:18Move.
01:08:41Your first child?
01:08:42Yes.
01:08:43I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons.
01:08:46Who was it?
01:08:47A widow, recently returned from London.
01:08:49She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the East Ring of my home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Gredness?
01:08:56Yes, Your Highness.
01:08:57I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:59She will bring no more trouble to your household.
01:09:02Thank you, Your Highness.
01:09:04And for this, for allowing us in.
01:09:06Don't thank me for that.
01:09:07Thank my wife.
01:09:08She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:12She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:17That's one way to put it.
01:09:25My lord.
01:09:27Lady Windry is well.
01:09:29You have a son.
01:09:40He has your eyes.
01:09:45Why, Olivia?
01:09:57Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:07Jane.
01:10:22How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
01:10:28It all started with a marsh.
01:10:30I beg your pardon?
01:10:32On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:35Cut across the north field.
01:10:37I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:43And then?
01:10:44There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:47Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:51He pulled me out himself.
01:10:53Gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:55He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:57And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:59Yes.
01:11:00Then I told him my name.
01:11:01And he told me his.
01:11:03And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:06Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:13Are you?
01:11:15More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:24The prince regent will present honors tonight.
01:11:26Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:28None at all.
01:11:29Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:31But who shall it be?
01:11:33Cavendish?
01:11:34Ashmore?
01:11:34I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:37Apparently, the honor is to be estowed upon a couple.
01:11:41A husband.
01:11:43And wife.
01:11:45Good heavens!
01:11:46A joint honor?
01:11:47And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:51Are you nervous?
01:11:52I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
01:11:55Do you remember when we first met?
01:11:59Yes.
01:12:00When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.
01:12:04And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.
01:12:08Well, things are different now.
01:12:09This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:13Shall we?
01:12:19Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:22How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:24You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:29And I feel magnificent.
01:12:33With the honor of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:38I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and
01:12:43Martians of Thornfield.
