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.
00:00:59Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Winding, the Fenwick family
00:01:03will be ruined completely?
00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it, indeed.
00:01:21If not for some old favour the Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it's hard to imagine this match ever
00:01:25being 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.
00:01:52There's no time.
00:01:55The Fenwicks
00:01:57The Fenwicks
00:02:01The Fenwicks
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenwick.
00:02:35That's the younger sister.
00:02:37The younger sister?
00:02:38But she's...
00:02:38The illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord.
00:02:41What 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
00:02:54and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:58Rachel, please.
00:02:59Not here.
00:03:00I'm going to see you.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:06You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord.
00:03:10I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation
00:03:13and 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...
00:03:26Marry 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 Thormitt later today.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He 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?
00:04:59He said,
00:05:01That's my mother.
00:05:02I can't see the mother.
00:05:04I can see the mother.
00:05:06I can see the mother.

00:11:34The Countess of Wyndham
00:12:12The Countess of Wyndham
00:12:28The Countess of Wyndham
00:12:58The Countess of Wyndham
00:13:12I've married you. You're my wife. You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornmouth, including the right to
00:13:18know your husband.
00:13:18The Countess of Wyndham
00:13:58The Countess of Wyndham
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.
00:14:31Elizabeth, you are the only Lady Wyndham
00:14:34I should like, if you're willing, to have a true marriage. In every sense.
00:14:43In every sense? Is he asking me to bear an heir for the Wyndham line?
00:14:48Come in. It is late. Yes.
00:15:05Elizabeth.
00:15:08Elizabeth.
00:15:08Yes?
00:15:10You are frightened.
00:15:13I'm not. I'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.
00:15:23I beg your pardon.
00:15:24You heard me.
00:15:26But it is... it is your right.
00:15:29I am aware of what the law allows me.
00:15:32But that isn't the measure I intend to follow.
00:15:37Good night, Elizabeth.
00:15:40Does he not want me?
00:16:10Edward.
00:16:12Edward.
00:16:18This isn't helpful.
00:16:49Better.
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.
00:17:14Coming!
00:17:29I 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.
00:18:07Lady Wyndham, how lovely to find you here.
00:18:13And all on your own.
00:18:16Rupert, you know Lady Wyndham, I believe.
00:18:19Miss Fenwick.
00:18:22My apologies, Lady Winford. The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:26Good evening, Miss Vane. Mr Bellamy. Rupert and I have some happy news. We're to be formally engaged at the
00:18:34McKeelmas Hall.
00:18:35Dorothea 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
00:18:50character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:58My lady.
00:19:00A message for you.
00:19:07Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight. Enjoy the party.
00:19:16Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:18One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea.
00:19:26I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:30Come, Rupert. It's been ages since I last danced.
00:19:34You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:36Come.
00:19:52Lady Wyndham. What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:55Mr Bellamy. I assume your fiancée 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.
00:20:09That's enough, Mr Bellamy.
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:12A woman as young as you, as lovely as you,
00:20:16deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband...
00:20:19That's enough!
00:20:21Mr Bellamy.
00:20:22I mean it kindly.
00:20:34Good heavens, how'd I end up here?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:51Lady Wyndham, you are going the wrong way.
00:20:55Allow me to show you out.
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr Bellamy.
00:21:06Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:10And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:22There is no need to be alarmed.
00:21:24I only wish to talk.
00:21:26Then speak from where you stand.
00:21:29My dear.
00:21:35Stop!
00:21:39What do you think you're doing?
00:21:43Dorothea, you must forgive me.
00:21:44I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:48Lady Wyndham 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, but 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.
00:22:14At 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?
00:22:45How much did he hear?
00:22:47Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward!
00:23:03My apologies.
00:23:05I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:09Good Lord!
00:23:10Has Lord Wyndham really ruined a hundred-year-old Yen Mays?
00:23:14You're a wife of such low birth.
00:23:20Let every person here who has dishonoured 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!
00:23:32You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:34If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter, I've over fifty hours just like you.
00:23:56You have endured enough.
00:24:04You have endured enough.
00:24:05Home awaits us.
00:24:07You have endured enough.
00:24:09Edward, you must know what you're doing.
00:24:11No, I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out, I...
00:24:14I know.
00:24:14I know precisely what kind of man he is.
00:24:17I believe you, Elizabeth.
00:24:18We have been married for a few days now.
00:24:21We have.
00:24:23And I find I know remarkably little about you.
00:24:26I believe goes both ways.
00:24:28Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that.
00:24:31We might begin with 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.
00:25:02He's settled now.
00:25:09We're home.
00:25:13My lord.
00:25:15My lady.
00:25:22I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth.
00:25:25Shortly?
00:25:26What 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.
00:25:33Shortly, then.
00:25:49Of course.
00:25:50Of all nights, it would be this one.
00:26:02Come in.
00:26:05There's something I must tell you.
00:26:07It concerns a domestic matter.
00:26:12I see.
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:18Please, please, God.
00:26:20Let him understand without making me say it outright.
00:26:23Come.
00:26:35No.
00:26:36No.
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.
00:26:48Very well.
00:26:51Elizabeth.
00:26:57Elizabeth.
00:27:18Elizabeth.
00:27:29Elizabeth.
00:27:31He's gone. Of course he's gone. I failed him last night.
00:27:37Come in.
00:28:02Is something wrong?
00:28:05No. No, nothing.
00:28:10I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:13Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm as chocolate,
00:28:16if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:39You have.
00:28:44This hand is still warm.
00:28:49I thought we might out to Ravenscurd Park before week's end.
00:28:54My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:58Yes.
00:29:00I should like it that very much.
00:29:05I should propose Fridays, perhaps,
00:29:09for the fulfillment of our marital obligation.
00:29:15Yes.
00:29:17Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:20I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:27I hope I could.
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:39The death of a cat in my pocket.
00:29:40Yes.
00:29:46Yes.
00:29:47Yes.
00:29:50No.
00:29:51No.
00:29:52Yes.
00:29:54No.
00:29:56No.
00:29:56No.
00:30:06Go on, Vale will see you in, I shall be long
00:30:12Of course
00:30:52That's Edward's mother
00:30:55She looks so young to find
00:31:00Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion
00:31:03I am
00:31:13Lady Wyndham
00:31:16I had wondered when we should meet
00:31:19I am Cecilia
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly
00:31:24She asked me to receive you in her place
00:31:26That's her
00:31:28Cecilia Marlock
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter
00:31:32The woman Edward wants to lie to her
00:31:37Your grace, the pleasure is mine
00:31:39Please, none of that
00:31:41We're practically family now
00:31:42Adelaine will be back shortly
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister
00:31:46Is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me
00:31:49Yet she's here
00:31:50Was she hoping Edward would meet her instead?
00:31:59She carries herself as if she owns the place
00:32:16So you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy
00:32:19After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered
00:32:24I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked
00:32:26Elizabeth, this is Georgiana, we call her Georgie
00:32:29Georgie, this is Elizabeth
00:32:30Ah, the new Lady Wyndham
00:32:32And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:34I read, I write
00:32:35I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie
00:32:38Of course she does, most people do when they can't shoot
00:32:41No offence, Elizabeth
00:32:42It simply requires a certain constitution
00:32:45Not everyone has it
00:32:46Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try
00:32:49It is only fair to offer
00:32:50Oh, by all means
00:32:51Bring another gun
00:32:55A gun for beginners
00:32:59You know your way around guns
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing
00:33:05You can watch if you prefer
00:33:18Well
00:33:21You had three
00:33:22I should not be greedy
00:33:36Mother
00:33:37Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:39She found me
00:33:41I like her
00:33:44So do I
00:33:51Come in
00:33:57My mother asked me to convey her apologies
00:34:01She had no intention of neglecting you today
00:34:03I understand
00:34:05Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agree
00:34:11It's Friday
00:34:12So it is
00:34:13I must admit
00:34:16I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin
00:34:18Nor am I
00:34:24I should warn you there are rather a great many hooks
00:34:2623
00:34:31I see
00:34:46I confess I don't quite know
00:34:49What
00:34:50I meant to do with my
00:34:52Elizabeth
00:34:54You are not supposed to do anything
00:35:04The desk
00:35:05I thought you might find it easier
00:35:08To begin with
00:35:10I did not realize how warm his hands would feel
00:35:22Breathe
00:35:23Breathe
00:35:25You are going to suffocate yourself
00:35:34Are you ready?
00:35:35I
00:35:40I'll take that as a yes
00:35:44Let's begin
00:36:01Do you
00:36:04Oh
00:36:05Oh
00:36:10Oh
00:36:12Oh
00:36:13Oh
00:36:28All right, you absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:35Elizabeth Winwood, née Fenwork.
00:36:38You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman
00:36:41who has just discovered something rather surprising about the world.
00:36:45Was it?
00:36:46Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incredible.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details.
00:36:53Was he...
00:36:54He was...
00:36:56Considerate.
00:36:58Extraordinary so.
00:37:00How?
00:37:01He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:05Way before 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.
00:37:21As 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.
00:38:15Lizzie.
00:38:17How can you 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.
00:38:40You always were.
00:38:43Edgar Lennox.
00:38:44A viscant son.
00:38:45The 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.
00:38:52Then he left for Italy.
00:38:56Is that... Edgar?
00:38:58I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:08I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox.
00:39:10I 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.
00:39:20Give my regards to Lord Winda.
00:39:30Six years without a word.
00:39:32And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not.
00:39:37Lord Winda is worth ten of him.
00:39:38You know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come.
00:39:42The 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.
00:39:54She stepped away from him, Georgie.
00:39:56That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward.
00:39:58I shall tell him exactly what I saw, and he will...
00:40:01Do as you think best, my dear.
00:40:04You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:17Edward, there's something I must tell you.
00:40:19It concerns your wife.
00:40:21Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:23I 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...
00:40:30Close together, you say?
00:40:31Why, yes, and he...
00:40:33He took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:35And then?
00:40:36She drew back in the end.
00:40:38But she knew him well, Edward.
00:40:40He called her Lizzie.
00:40:41What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox.
00:40:44Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son, and the one who has been off painting
00:40:49in Italy for the past six years.
00:40:50Then you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:53You followed her.
00:40:54No.
00:40:55I just happened to be passing by...
00:40:56Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windworm.
00:41:01She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:03Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time,
00:41:07such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar countrywoman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgina.
00:41:19Edgar Lennox.
00:41:23My lady, his 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.
00:41:52I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather.
00:41:56You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning.
00:42:12Georgiana is young, and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment.
00:42:16I thought you should know that I sent her right away.
00:42:18He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me.
00:42:22It's because he wished to inform me he sent Georgiana away.
00:42:25He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:30Thank you, Edward.
00:42:32For what?
00:42:33We're married.
00:42:34You need not thank me.
00:42:36Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy.
00:42:39He may want to consider spending six more.
00:42:41The further he remains from my wife, the better.
00:42:52I cannot believe this.
00:42:53He sent me away.
00:42:58Tell me what happened.
00:43:04He accused me of following her.
00:43:06He is a loyal man, always has been.
00:43:07And now his loyalty is wasted on the wrong person.
00:43:11Has he any engagements away from Thornwood?
00:43:15He leaves for Duttshire 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.
00:43:36Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:49She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:17East wing, old timber frames.
00:44:20It's three stories of curtains, ends and correspondence.
00:44:24And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:27And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:37Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:39Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:54Elizabeth!
00:44:56Elizabeth!
00:44:59Elizabeth!
00:45:08My lord!
00:45:09It began in the lower story. Where's Lady Wyndham?
00:45:12We have not been able to find Lady Wyndham, but we brought someone out from the East Wing.
00:45:18A man.
00:45:20Elizabeth, she's still inside.
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Wyndham is in there?
00:45:30What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:33Edward, I'm so sorry. I did not wish to be the one who...
00:45:36What is that in your hand?
00:45:39Edward, if there's Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:42I received a note. I believed it to be...
00:45:44You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:49Edward, you must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:53Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:55Of course she's inside. That wicked adult is sure to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:46:02Edward!
00:46:02Edward!
00:46:06Miss, don't! It's not safe in there!
00:46:10My brother! Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:13Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:17He 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? You're not stuck in the fire?
00:46:36Elizabeth!
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. You had no one to rely on me.
00:46:47And as a duchess, shall be my god-begin right to walk all over you.
00:46:51My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire.
00:46:54You what? Why?
00:46:57Elizabeth! Elizabeth! My brother is still in there!
00:47:00What did he 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?
00:47:32No! I had nothing to do with that letter! He's slanting me!
00:47:38Edward!
00:47:43Elizabeth, go back.
00:47:55Foolish woman.
00:47:57Reckless man.
00:48:08I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're slanting.
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 going to do with you?
00:48:37You.
00:48:52Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:57Edward.
00:48:58That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:49:02I know.
00:49:02As 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 arrangements were considered by my mother, by Cecilia's family.
00:49:33I knew they were in favor of me.
00:49:35Who were you?
00:49:36I'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...
00:49:45I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:52Edgar Lenniston and I, we 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.
00:50:00Well then...
00:50:02Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:05Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:09It's Friday today.
00:50:11Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:13There are about 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?
00:50:31I'll see you.
00:50:41This...
00:50:42This is what home is.
00:50:54My lord, the Dowditch Duchess of Ravensborough has called upon you.
00:50:58I informed her that you are not at leisure, but...
00:51:00She still has not taken her leave.
00:51:03Show 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.
00:51:25I'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.
00:51:51You know I had no choice.
00:51:53And you... you waited too, Edward.
00:51:55All these years.
00:51:57A Thornworld without a mistress, without a bride to be.
00:52:00Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:03That's not...
00:52:04Don't say that, Edward.
00:52:05You know that's not what I...
00:52:06You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:08And in those eight months you've come to Shropshire,
00:52:10established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:12cultivate my sister's trust,
00:52:13and 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, Cecilia.
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.
00:52:27Otherwise, you would not be standing in my study, but rather in my dungeon.
00:52:31She's not right here, Edward.
00:52:33Whatever you feel now, it will pass.
00:52:35This afternoon, you will return to your home in London.
00:52:38And you will not come back.
00:52:40No! You can't treat me this way!
00:52:42I'm the Dowage Guchess of Ravenshile!
00:52:45Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham.
00:52:49I 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, Cecilia.
00:52:59Do you love her?
00:53:00Yes.
00:53:01I do.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:15Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:26She came back for him.
00:53:30And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:47May I come in?
00:53:49Please.
00:53:50I didn't know Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:52I 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,
00:54:25he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:28I know.
00:54:30By the way,
00:54:31you shoot better than I do.
00:54:34You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:37I know.
00:54:44I'm leaving to London as a painter summoned by the King.
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:49I had heard rumours of such an arrangement.
00:54:52The night of the fire.
00:54:54I saw him run into the flames to look for you.
00:54:57Without hesitation.
00:54:59That was the moment I knew had lost you.
00:55:01May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:04I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:10Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:55:23Edgar.
00:55:25He's gone.
00:55:27I know.
00:55:29The King offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:31He is a talented man.
00:55:33It would have been a waste.
00:55:35Edward.
00:55:36Yes?
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.
00:55:56Elizabeth!
00:56:01Elizabeth.
00:56:04Elizabeth!
00:56:11Elizabeth!
00:56:15Elizabeth!
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.
00:57:12This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
00:57:18I'm sure you will want to tell your mother.
00:57:25I shall have the carriage prepared for Thursday. Vale will accompany you.
00:57:29And take a warm blanket. The 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.
00:58:23I'll be right back.
00:58:55I'll be right back.
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.
00:59:31I'm pregnant.
00:59:32You're pregnant.
00:59:34Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:39Mother.
00:59:43I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:46You're going to chase him after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:52Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
00:59:54I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:54I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:57I want to take you to Thornwood.
01:00:10Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:16I want to take you to Thornwood.
01:00:17Don't look back.
01:00:21Elizabeth!
01:00:25It's Edward!
01:00:40It's Edward!
01:00:44Let him come.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham.
01:00:51What an honor.
01:00:53Though 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,
01:00:59and 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.
01:01:24My lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my lord.
01:01:32You have no right to...
01:01:32The Fenwood estate carries debts
01:01:34to 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,
01:01:42the fields you work on,
01:01:43the horses in your stable.
01:01:45The papers holding your whole world together
01:01:47are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrewsburg.
01:01:50My lord,
01:01:51I 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
01:02:00will be administered through my estate,
01:02:03to be used as she pleases.
01:02:05If I receive word from any source
01:02:06that you have interfered with this agreement,
01:02:08and you will lose your house,
01:02:10your land,
01:02:10and whatever is left of your name
01:02:11in this county.
01:02:18My 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.
01:02:38No.
01:02:40Edward will handle everything.
01:02:43I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:45As did I.
01:02:48Elizabeth.
01:02:50Is he...
01:02:51Is he a good man, your lord?
01:03:03He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:05Mother.
01:03:16Now let me tell you.
01:03:19Baby, it's working.
01:03:22Baby, it's working.
01:03:23Baby, it's working.
01:03:26Baby, it's working.
01:03:37How long will you be gone for?
01:03:38Four months, perhaps.
01:03:44I don't wish to go.
01:03:46I know.
01:03:47I know you don't.
01:03:47I 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, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs as a
01:04:46set of piano keys.
01:04:47Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy, and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:51Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:54We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:04A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:06In his lordship's own hand.
01:05:12Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:15Elizabeth, your 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.
01:05:21I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and even more to tell you.
01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:33My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:35Officers, I believe.
01:05:36They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverde, we are here to deliver a summons from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:50Your presence is urgently required in London, and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:58May I have the night to prepare?
01:06:00I am 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 hands.
01:06:21My lady, the seal on this carriage.
01:06:24I need time to verify it.
01:06:29Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:44That sound.
01:06:46This isn't the road to London.
01:06:48It's the Cliff Road.
01:06:53Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop the carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:06:56Elizabeth!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:26Elizabeth!
01:07:37Edward!
01:07:38Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes? What is it?
01:07:52I think... I think the child is coming.
01:07:57No!
01:08:13My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:17Move.
01:08:40Your first child?
01:08:42Yes.
01:08:43I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons. Who was it?
01:08:47A widow, recently returned from London. She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the East Ring of my home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Gretners?
01:08:55Yes, your highness.
01:08:57I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully. She will bring no more trouble 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. Thank 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.
01:09:16That's one way to put it.
01:09:25My lord.
01:09:27Lady Windery is well.
01:09:28You have a son.
01:09:40He has your eyes.
01:09:45Why am I there?
01:09:56Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:07Jane.
01:10:21How 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?
01:10:31On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:34Cut across the north field.
01:10:36I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:42And then?
01:10:43There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:46Dogs, 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, then I told him my name.
01:11:01And he told me his.
01:11:02Yes.
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 honours 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?
01:11:32Cavendish?
01:11:33Ashmore?
01:11:34I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:37Apparently, the honour is to be estowed upon a couple.
01:11:41A husband.
01:11:42And wife.
01:11:44Good heavens!
01:11:46A joint honour!
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.
01:11:59When 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?
01:12:07Well, 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...
01:12:25You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:28And I feel magnificent.
01:12:32With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:37I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Martianse of Thornfield.
