00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day, Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth, our debts will be cleared, father's honor restored.
00:00:48Liz, please forgive me, I can't do this, I won't be traded off to some man, I'm so sorry it
00:00:53had to be you who found this, don't come looking for me, Jane.
00:00:58Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Windeck, the Fenwick family
00:01:03will be ruined completely?
00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it.
00:01:20Indeed, if not for some old favour the Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it's hard to imagine this match
00:01:25ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47I know.
00:01:50Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:52There's no time.
00:01:53Miss, you can.
00:02:01Miss, you can.
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenwick. That's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister? But she's...
00:02:38The illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth? Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:57Regina, please. Not here.
00:03:00People will see you.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:05You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord. I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation and I fully intend to give you one.
00:03:17My lord, I know this isn't what you agreed to.
00:03:19I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:26Marry me.
00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:38I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:40It is my honour to present to you...
00:03:44My bride.
00:03:57On the night of my sister's wedding,
00:04:00I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:16His lordship was called away to London on urgent business.
00:04:19You may move to Thormut later today.
00:04:21Shh.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:32Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:35Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:05:01She's up to my other way now.

00:10:49consider 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
00:11:11oh no
00:11:15oh
00:11:16oh
00:11:16oh
00:11:20oh
00:11:21oh
00:11:25oh
00:11:25oh
00:11:25oh
00:11:26oh
00:11:30Stop! Stop right there!
00:11:33I am the Countess of Wyndham.
00:11:36I command you to stop.
00:11:38You have no idea what it means to offend the Countess of Wyndham.
00:11:49My lord, this is... I can explain.
00:11:54Please do not.
00:11:58You may... you may turn around now.
00:12:06My lord! This is entirely unnecessary. I assure you, I am quite capable of...
00:12:11You are barefoot on flint. Kindly be still.
00:12:21My lord.
00:12:24I'm here.
00:12:25I'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.
00:12:36I took my sister's place and married you that day because... because I wanted my mother to stop being beaten.
00:12:43I see.
00:12:48You didn't need to do any of this.
00:12:50The moment you said I do at that altar, you fulfilled the agreement. You owe me nothing more.
00:12:55So this is all just an agreement to you. Nothing more?
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.
00:13:10I understand, my lord.
00:13:10Call me Edward. I've married you. You're my wife. You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornworth, including
00:13:16the right to know your husband.
00:13:30Cecilia.
00:13:32Cecilia Marlowe. The girl Edward grew up with.
00:13:40My lord Edward.
00:13:41Sit down.
00:13:45May I ask you a question?
00:13:47Please do.
00:13:48Is there someone else you care for? In London, perhaps?
00:13:57Are you angry with me for leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:00Not in the least. I only mean to say, I've no objection to any other attachments you may have.
00:14:06This marriage serves both our families. I have no wish to be a petty, jealous Countess.
00:14:11And if I were to tell you there is no such person, would you believe me?
00:14:17I... yes. I believe I would.
00:14:30Elizabeth, you are the only Lady Wyndorff I should like, if you're willing, to have a true marriage. In every
00:14:40sense.
00:14:42In every sense? Is he asking me to bear an heir for the Wyndham line?
00:14:49Come in.
00:14:52It is late.
00:14:54Yes.
00:15:05Elizabeth.
00:15:07Yes.
00:15:09You are frightened.
00:15:12I'm not. I mean, it would be entirely reasonable for you to...
00:15:15Elizabeth.
00:15:20I will not require anything of you tonight.
00:15:23I beg your pardon.
00:15:24You heard me.
00:15:26But... it is... it is your right.
00:15:28I am aware of what the law allows me.
00:15:32But that isn't the measure I intend to follow.
00:15:36Good night, Elizabeth.
00:15:40Does he not want me?
00:15:44Edward.
00:15:45Is it mine?
00:15:47It is mine and it is mine.
00:15:47It is mine and it is mine.
00:15:49It is mine.
00:15:53I am out of my heart.
00:15:55I am from my throat.
00:15:56I am not in my throat.
00:16:01I am just it.
00:16:05It is mine.
00:16:09Edward.
00:16:17This isn't helpful.
00:16:48Letta.
00:17:04God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:07I must be out of my mind.
00:17:09My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:14Coming!
00:17:29I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:37He arranged all of this. What does he take me for?
00:17:40It would appear that his lordship is determined 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. You know Lady Winder, I believe.
00:18:17Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford. The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:26Good evening, Miss Vane.
00:18:28Mr Bellamy.
00:18:29Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:31Yes.
00:18:31We're to be formally engaged at the McKeel Miss Hall.
00:18:34Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me.
00:18:37Though, I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:40Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional.
00:18:44Years of acquaintance, shared society, a genuine 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. Enjoy the party.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself. One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:22Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea. I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:29Come, Rupert. It's been ages since I last danced. You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:51Lady Wyndham. What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:54Mr Bellamy. I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:57Ah, yes. I stepped out for some air and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:02You look very well, Lady Winford. Marriage suits you.
00:20:05Thank you. I believe I should return home.
00:20:06No need to hurry. It's a fine night.
00:20:08That's enough, Mr Bellamy.
00:20:10Come now, Elizabeth. A woman as young as you, as lovely as you, deserves far more than a cold bed
00:20:18and a husband...
00:20:18That's enough, Mr 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. You are going the wrong way. Allow me to show you out.
00:21:02Then let me be plain, Mr Bellamy. Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:09And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:21There is no need to be alarmed. I only wish to talk.
00:21:25Then speak from where you stand.
00:21:29My dear.
00:21:34Stop!
00:21:38What do you think you're doing?
00:21:42Dorothea, you must forgive me. I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:47Lady Wyndham had sought me out.
00:21:48Elizabeth! How dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this!
00:21:52That is not...
00:21:53I mean no disrespect, but I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain.
00:21:56Good lord! Did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:03I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable.
00:22:07I shall inform Lord Edward at once he'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation.
00:22:11Now, apologize to my fiancé. At once.
00:22:15Miss Vane, you will address me correctly or you will not address me at all.
00:22:19You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:36My lord, thank god you're here. Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:42We were only trying to...
00:22:43When did he arrive? How much did he hear? Does he believe them?
00:22:47Are you hurt?
00:22:53Edward.
00:23:02My apologies. I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:07Good lord! Has Lord Wyndham really ruined a hundred-year-old Yang Maze?
00:23:13For a wife of such low birth...
00:23:19Let every person here who has dishonoured my wife hear me.
00:23:23Before this night is over, you will regret it.
00:23:25Yes, my lord!
00:23:27Edward!
00:23:27What?
00:23:28My lord!
00:23:29I am your cousin!
00:23:31You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:33If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter,
00:23:37I've over fifty apples just like you.
00:23:44Grateful girl!
00:23:46What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:50You wretched boy!
00:23:52I paid off your gambling seats with the Earl's own money!
00:23:56How dare you make yourself a nuisance before him and his wife!
00:24:02You have endured enough.
00:24:04Home awaits us.
00:24:09Edward, you must know.
00:24:10I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out, I...
00:24:12I know.
00:24:13I know precisely what kind of man he is.
00:24:15I believe you, Elizabeth.
00:24:17We have been married for a few days now.
00:24:20We have.
00:24:22And I find I know remarkably little about you.
00:24:25I believe goes both ways.
00:24:27Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that.
00:24:29We might begin...
00:24:31With a kiss.
00:24:34He's asking to kiss me.
00:24:36On horseback.
00:24:37Out in the open in the middle of the night.
00:24:39God knows how long I've waited for this moment.
00:24:42You have my permission.
00:25:00It's alright.
00:25:01He's settled now.
00:25:08We're home.
00:25:12My lord.
00:25:13My lady.
00:25:21I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth.
00:25:24Shortly?
00:25:25What does he mean, shortly?
00:25:26Tonight?
00:25:27I thought I had rather expected.
00:25:29I seem to have expected it more than I realized.
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:32Shortly then.
00:25:47Of course.
00:25:49Of all nights, it would be this one.
00:26:00Come in.
00:26:01Come in.
00:26:04There's something I must tell you.
00:26:06It concerns a...
00:26:07Domest...
00:26:08Domestic matter.
00:26:10I see.
00:26:15Does he?
00:26:16Does he truly?
00:26:17Please, God.
00:26:18Let him understand without making me say it outright.
00:26:22Come.
00:26:33No.
00:26:34Not like this.
00:26:37How are you feeling?
00:26:39Rather better, thank you.
00:26:41Forgive me.
00:26:42Elizabeth.
00:26:43Yes?
00:26:44Stop apologizing.
00:26:45Yes, very well.
00:26:50Elizabeth.
00:26:53Elizabeth.
00:26:53...
00:27:05No.
00:27:18Elizabeth.
00:27:30He's gone.
00:27:31Of course he's gone.
00:27:33I failed him last night.
00:27:36Come in.
00:28:00There's something wrong.
00:28:03No, no, nothing.
00:28:09I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:11Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm.
00:28:13There's chocolate, if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:37You have.
00:28:47I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end.
00:28:52My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:57Yes.
00:28:58I should like it that very much.
00:29:03I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfillment of our marital obligations.
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:18I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:29Yes.
00:29:30Let's go.
00:30:04Go on.
00:30:05Vale will see you in.
00:30:07I shall be long.
00:30:10Of course.
00:30:35Flea.
00:30:50That's Edward's mother.
00:30:53She looks so young to find.
00:30:58Lady Adelaine.
00:31:00Forgive 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 Marlowe.
00:31:28Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:31The woman Edward wants 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.
00:32:34I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:37Of course she does.
00:32:37Most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:39No offense, Elizabeth.
00:32:41It simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:44Not everyone has it.
00:32:45Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try.
00:32:47It is only fair to offer.
00:32:48Oh, by all means, bring another gun.
00:32:53A gun for beginners.
00:32:57You know your way around guns?
00:32:59Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:02Georgie is only teasing.
00:33:04You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:18You have 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.
00:34:09It's Friday.
00:34:10So it is.
00:34:12I 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.
00:34:29I see.
00:34:44I confess I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...
00:34:50Elizabeth, you are not supposed to do anything.
00:35:02The desk.
00:35:04I thought you might find it easier to 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.
00:36:26All right.
00:36:27You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:31I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:32Elizabeth Winwen, née Fenwork.
00:36:35You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just
00:36:40discovered something rather surprising about the world.
00:36:43Was it?
00:36:44Was it Friday?
00:36:47You are incredible.
00:36:49I am your oldest friend and I deserve details.
00:36:51Was he...
00:36:52He was...
00:36:54Considerate.
00:36:56Extraordinary so.
00:36:58How?
00:36:59How?
00:36:59He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:04Before anything else.
00:37:06Several times, in fact.
00:37:09Good lord.
00:37:10That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:12And afterward.
00:37:13In the morning.
00:37:16He said, come back to bed.
00:37:19As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:21Only meant to return.
00:37:24He held my hand.
00:37:27Lizzie.
00:37:30Don't.
00:37:31You like him.
00:37:34I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:42We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:53We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:55Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:57There's a plank in the ditch.
00:38:00Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:15We'll need to push from the right to the right to the right to the right to the right.
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.
00:38:38You always were.
00:38:40Edgar Lemmerts.
00:38:42A viscant son.
00:38:43The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:46Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:48My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean.
00:38:50Then he left for Italy.
00:38:53Is that...
00:38:54Edgar?
00:38:56I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:06I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox.
00:39:08I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:11Forgive me, I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:14I hope you are well, Lady Wind.
00:39:15I am.
00:39:17Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:39:28Six years without a word.
00:39:30And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:31He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:33Perhaps not.
00:39:34Lord Wyndham is worth ten of him.
00:39:35You know that, don't you?
00:39:39Come.
00:39:39The road is clear now.
00:39:47She was smiling at him, 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.
00:39:54That much was plain enough.
00:39:55I shall tell Edward.
00:39:56I shall tell him exactly what I saw.
00:39:58And he will...
00:39:59Do as you think best, my dear.
00:40:01You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:15Edward, there's something I must tell you.
00:40:17It concerns your wife.
00:40:18Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:21I was riding this morning, along the north road.
00:40:24I 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 took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:33And then?
00:40:34She drew back in the end.
00:40:36But she knew him well, Edward.
00:40:38He called her Lizzie.
00:40:39What was the man's name?
00:40:41Lennox.
00:40:42Edgar Lennox.
00:40:43I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son,
00:40:45and the 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.
00:40:52I just happened to be passing by...
00:40:54Georgiana.
00:40:57Elizabeth is Lady Windham.
00:40:59She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:01Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time.
00:41:05Such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:07You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar countrywoman.
00:41:11Go home, Georgina.
00:41:16Edgar Lennox.
00:41:20My lady, his lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:26Did he indicate the purpose of said inquiry?
00:41:29He 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?
00:43:13He leaves for Dutcher 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.
00:44:15East Wing, old timber frames.
00:44:17It's three stories of curtains and correspondence.
00:44:21And 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 her charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:52Elizabeth!
00:44:53Elizabeth!
00:45:06My lord!
00:45:07It began in the lower story.
00:45:09Where's Lady Winder?
00:45:09We have not been able to find Lady Winder.
00:45:12But we brought someone out from the East Wing.
00:45:15A man.
00:45:17Elizabeth.
00:45:18She's still inside.
00:45:24And just how are you so sure Lady Wyndham is in there?
00:45:27What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:31Edward, I'm so sorry.
00:45:32I did not wish to be the one.
00:45:33What is that in your hand?
00:45:36Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:39I received a note.
00:45:40I believed it to be...
00:45:41You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:46Edward.
00:45:47You must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:51Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:52Of course she's inside.
00:45:53That wicked adulteress ought to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:45:58It's not safe in there.
00:45:58You were me.
00:45:59Edward!
00:46:03Miss, don't.
00:46:04It's not safe in there.
00:46:07My brother!
00:46:08Henry, you must save my brother.
00:46:10Miss, I'm sorry.
00:46:14He ran headfirst into that fire.
00:46:17For her.
00:46:26Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:28Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:29And you, what are you doing here?
00:46:32You'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.
00:46:39How did you get some lucky?
00:46:40No matter, Edward just ran to his death.
00:46:43You have no one to rely on now.
00:46:44And as a duchess, shall 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!
00:46:55Elizabeth! My brother is still in there!
00:46:57What do we do? He ran in because he thought you were trapped inside!
00:47:00Oh dear, how did this happen?
00:47:02Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:03No!
00:47:11She didn't write that note.
00:47:14She can't have written that note.
00:47:22It was you!
00:47:25Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:28No!
00:47:29I had nothing to do with that letter!
00:47:32He's slanting me!
00:47:35Edward!
00:47:40Elizabeth.
00:47:41Go back.
00:47:42Go back.
00:47:43Go back.
00:47:44Go back.
00:47:44Go back.
00:47:53Foolish woman.
00:47:54Reckless man.
00:48:04I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:07You're safe.
00:48:13I...
00:48:14I was wrong about that.
00:48:22Not every wife would run into a burning building for her husband.
00:48:25Why did you do it?
00:48:27You went in there for me.
00:48:28I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:30Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:31Elizabeth.
00:48:31Whatever am I going to do with you.
00:48:33You.
00:48:35You.
00:48:49Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:55Edward, that 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.
00:49:17Cecilia.
00:49:19She is my mother's goddaughter.
00:49:21She grew up around us.
00:49:22There was a time when certain arrangements were considered by my mother, by 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, I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:48Edgar Lenniston and I, we grew up together as well.
00:49:52He taught me to make charcoal drawings.
00:49:55That is the whole of it, Edward.
00:49:56There's nothing more.
00:49:57Well then, now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:02Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:06It's Friday today.
00:50:08Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:10There are about two hours left until dawn.
00:50:12Perhaps you might like to watch the sunrise with me?
00:50:18Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:25May I?
00:50:27May I?
00:50:28Yes, you may.
00:50:37This.
00:50:39This is what home feels like.
00:50:51My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensburg has called upon you.
00:50:55I informed her that you are not at leisure, but she still has not taken her leave.
00:51:00Show her in, Henry.
00:51:08Thank you for seeing me, Edward.
00:51:09Say what you have come to say, Cecilia.
00:51:13You know very well why I am here.
00:51:15Georgiana won't see me.
00:51:17Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.
00:51:20And you've issued a formal notice.
00:51:22I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth, nor at any Wyndham property in the county.
00:51:27That's correct.
00:51:28Edward, please.
00:51:30We've known each other since we were little.
00:51:32You carried me home on your back when I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest.
00:51:36Yes, I recall.
00:51:36I also recall that during that same autumn, you told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier than a
00:51:42mere earl.
00:51:44Such was my obligation, Edward.
00:51:46You know my family's circumstances.
00:51:47You know I had no choice.
00:51:49And you, you waited too, Edward.
00:51:52All these years.
00:51:54A Thornfield without a mistress, without a bride to be.
00:51:57Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:00That's not...
00:52:01Don't say that, Edward.
00:52:02You know that's not what I...
00:52:03You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:04And in those eight months, you have come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:08cultivated my sister's trust, and forged a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:15I did what I believed.
00:52:16I wasn't finished, Vasilia.
00:52:18You also set fire to the east wing of my home.
00:52:21You should be grateful that my wife was not there last night.
00:52:24Otherwise, you would not be standing in my study, but rather in my dungeon.
00:52:28She's not right for you, Edward.
00:52:30Whatever you feel now, it will pass.
00:52:32This afternoon, you will return to your home in London.
00:52:35And you will not come back.
00:52:37No.
00:52:37You can't treat me this way.
00:52:39I'm the Dowage Gunchess of Ravenshile.
00:52:42Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham.
00:52:46I am also the Prince Regent's companion.
00:52:49Do you wish what you have done to become known through all of London?
00:52:52I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sushi.
00:52:55Do you love her?
00:52:57Yes.
00:52:58I do.
00:53:10Good.
00:53:11Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:23She came back for him.
00:53:26And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:44May I come in?
00:53:46Please.
00:53:47I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:49I know.
00:53:50I'm sorry.
00:53:51I owe you an apology, Elizabeth.
00:53:53Several, in fact.
00:53:54I forgive you.
00:53:56So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:53:59Of course.
00:54:04Georgiana.
00:54:06I know you love your brother.
00:54:09And I do too.
00:54:19In all the years I've known him,
00:54:22he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:25I know.
00:54:26By the way,
00:54:28you shoot better than I do.
00:54:30You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:40I'm leaving to London as a painter summoned by the king.
00:54:44Yes.
00:54:46I had heard rumours of such an arrangement.
00:54:48The night of the fire,
00:54:50I saw him run into the flames to look for you.
00:54:53Without hesitation.
00:54:55That was the moment I knew had lost you.
00:54:57May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:00I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:07Give my regards to Lord Wyndolin.
00:55:20Edgar.
00:55:22He's gone.
00:55:24I know.
00:55:25The king offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:28He is a talented man.
00:55:29It would have been a waste.
00:55:31Edward.
00:55:33Yes?
00:55:37I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
00:55:41I'll take that as a compliment.
00:55:44Come.
00:55:45My lord.
00:55:52Elizabeth!
00:55:57Elizabeth.
00:56:00Elizabeth!
00:56:07Elizabeth!
00:56:08Elizabeth!
00:56:09Elizabeth!
00:56:10Elizabeth!
00:56:11Elizabeth!
00:56:12Elizabeth!
00:56:13Elizabeth!
00:56:14Elizabeth!
00:56:15Elizabeth!
00:56:15Elizabeth!
00:56:16Elizabeth!
00:56:19The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord.
00:56:22However, I've noticed that Lady Winford is showing signs of fatigue.
00:56:32Pardon me?
00:56:34Congratulations, my lord.
00:56:37Yes.
00:56:39Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:56:59So, we're going to have a child.
00:57:05Yes.
00:57:07Yes, we are.
00:57:09This 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.
00:57:29I know I needn't thank the man I married.
00:57:32But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:57:35Edward.
00:57:49I don't know.
00:58:46I don't know.
00:58:49I don't know.
00:58:54Ah, Elizabeth.
00:58:57To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:01Come with me, Mother.
00:59:03Now.
00:59:06This is my house.
00:59:08She doesn't leave without my permission.
00:59:13Are you challenging the Countess of Wyndham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:25I'm pregnant.
00:59:28You're pregnant.
00:59:30Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:35Mother.
00:59:39I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:42You'll come chasing after us.
00:59:44You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:48Then he'll sneak out when he's not looking.
00:59:51I'm not looking.
00:59:53I'm not looking.
00:59:55I'm not looking.
01:00:06Margaret!
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.
01:00:39Let him come.
01:00:46Lord Wyndham.
01:00:47What 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.
01:00:55And you shall not follow her.
01:00:57She's my wife, Lord Wyndham.
01:00:59By law, she's required to...
01:01:01By law, yes.
01:01:04Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:14Come in.
01:01:20My 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 Fenwood estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:33Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:36To me, 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,
01:02:04you will lose your house, your land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:08Lady Margaret's personal income will be bread for all the money.
01:02:14My wife sends her regards.
01:02:17Click, tap, tap.
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...
01:02:47Is he a good man, your Lord?
01:02:59He's the best man I've ever met, mother
01:03:33How long will you be gone for?
01:03:34Four months perhaps
01:03:39I don't wish to go
01:03:41I know
01:03:42I know you don't
01:03:45Elizabeth, I...
01:03:47It's Friday, you know
01:03:56I'll be gentle
01:03:57So will I
01:03:59Don't be too gentle
01:04:14Promise you'll write me
01:04:17Every day
01:04:35My Lord
01:04:36It is the 14th of March
01:04:38And your child has spent this morning
01:04:40Using my ribs as a set of piano keys
01:04:43Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy
01:04:45And that it shouldn't be much longer now
01:04:47Come home soon, Edward
01:04:49We both eagerly await your return
01:04:59A letter from London, my lady
01:05:02In his lordship's own hand
01:05:07Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning
01:05:11I have read it
01:05:12I have read it four times
01:05:13Front to back
01:05:14Today I write to tell you I am coming home
01:05:17I find I have a great deal to tell our child
01:05:20And even more to tell you
01:05:22Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:25Our baby's ready to meet you
01:05:28My lady
01:05:29There are two gentlemen at the door
01:05:31Officers, I believe
01:05:32They are carrying a sealed summon
01:05:42Lady Winverde, we are here to deliver a summons from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent
01:05:46Your presence is urgently required in London
01:05:49And the matter is one of considerable importance
01:05:54May I have the night to prepare?
01:05:55I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady
01:05:58The carriage is prepared
01:06:03Very well
01:06:05Allow me five minutes to gather my pains
01:06:17My lady
01:06:18The seal on this carriage
01:06:20I need time to verify it
01:06:25Lady Wyndham
01:06:26I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent
01:06:40That sound
01:06:41This isn't the road to London
01:06:43It's the cliff road
01:06:48Stop this carriage!
01:06:50Stop the carriage!
01:06:51Immediately!
01:07:06Elizabeth!
01:07:08Elizabeth!
01:07:14Elizabeth!
01:07:33Edward!
01:07:34Take my hand!
01:07:36Edward!
01:07:37Take my hand!
01:07:45Edward!
01:07:45Yes?
01:07:47What is it?
01:07:48I think...
01:07:48I think the child is coming.
01:08:09My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:13Move.
01:08:36Your first child?
01:08:37Yes.
01:08:38I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons.
01:08:41Who was it?
01:08:42A widow, recently returned from London.
01:08:44She forged the seal.
01:08:46She also set fire to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:50The Dowager Gredness.
01:08:51Yes, your highness.
01:08:52I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:55She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:08:57Thank you, your highness.
01:08:59And for this, for allowing us in.
01:09:02Don't thank me for that.
01:09:02Thank my wife.
01:09:04She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:07She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:12That's one way to put it.
01:09:13That's one way to put it.
01:09:21My lord.
01:09:22Lady Windry as well.
01:09:24You have a son.
01:09:36He has your eyes.
01:09:41Why am I there?
01:09:52Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:03Jane.
01:10:17How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
