Из тени
Описание
Новый светский сезон возвращает в Лондон старых героев, в числе которых Колин Бриджертон, существенно изменившийся за время путешествий. Франческа Бриджертон дебютирует в обществе и даёт понять матери, что готова к браку без любви. Порша Фезерингтон говорит дочерям о необходимости рождения у них мальчика, иначе они потеряют всё. Пенелопа решает найти мужа. Элоиза заводит дружбу с Крессидой Каупер, чем удивляет родных. Энтони и Кейт решают продлить медовый месяц и отправиться в путешествие. Королева говорит леди Данбери, что не будет выбирать «бриллиант сезона», пока не найдёт дебютантку, достойную этого. Колин предлагает Пенелопе помощь в поисках мужа. К семье Мондрич приезжает адвокат их дальней родственницы и сообщает, что она оставила наследство их старшему сыну Николасу. Прочитав новую колонку Уислдаун, Колин дает обещание: если когда-нибудь он узнает, кто скрывается за псевдонимом, то сделает всё, чтобы уничтожить жизнь этого человека.

- 00:59.726 --> 01:01.019 Хорошо быть дома.
- 01:02.937 --> 01:04.272 Абсолютно согласна.
- 01:04.355 --> 01:06.316 <i>В начале сезона</i>,
- 01:06.399 --> 01:09.277 <i>разумеется, все задаются вопросом,</i>
- 01:09.360 --> 01:12.864 <i>кто из свежеиспеченных дебютанток</i>
- 01:12.947 --> 01:14.908 <i>будет сиять ярче всех?</i>
- 01:14.991 --> 01:18.912 <i>В этом году подобрался</i> <i>блистательный состав.</i>
- 01:18.995 --> 01:22.207 <i>Поговаривают, что восхитительная</i> <i>мисс Малхотра станет</i>
- 01:22.290 --> 01:24.084 <i>весьма желанной добычей.</i>
- 01:24.167 --> 01:26.252 <i>Мисс Стоуэлл считают</i>
- 01:26.336 --> 01:28.713 <i>самой образованной молодой леди.</i>
- 01:31.800 --> 01:34.302 <i>Кроткая мисс Хартиган</i>
- 01:34.385 --> 01:37.305 <i>безусловно придется по вкусу</i> <i>светским кавалерам.</i>
- 01:37.972 --> 01:43.353 <i>Мисс Кенворти очаровывает,</i> <i>излучая уверенность и харизму.</i>
- 01:44.062 --> 01:48.441 <i>И конечно же мисс Бэрраган,</i> <i>безусловно выделяющаяся из общей массы.</i>
- 01:48.525 --> 01:49.901 Она упомянула меня!
- 01:52.445 --> 01:54.656 Вижу, твое дело процветает.
- 01:54.739 --> 01:55.907 Как и твое.
- 02:01.454 --> 02:04.082 <i>И не будем забывать,</i>
- 02:04.165 --> 02:06.584 <i>если нам захочется немного шумихи,</i>
- 02:06.668 --> 02:10.797 <i>в этом году дебютирует</i> <i>еще она Бриджертон.</i>
- 02:11.381 --> 02:12.465 Я ничего не слышу.
- 02:12.549 --> 02:15.677 Она знает, что мы подслушиваем. Уверена, всё хорошо.
- 02:15.760 --> 02:17.303 Как у тебя в прошлом году?
- 02:17.387 --> 02:18.721 Сейчас другое дело.
- 02:19.264 --> 02:21.099 - Франческа… - Затихла.
- 02:21.182 --> 02:24.811 Может, онемела от восторга, увидев то гигантское перо.
- 02:24.894 --> 02:26.062 Мечтаю его надеть.
- 02:26.146 --> 02:28.064 Возможно, она его проглотила.
- 02:29.274 --> 02:32.235 - Мы еще не готовы ехать? - Мы можем чем-то помочь?
- 02:32.318 --> 02:36.656 Попроси того, кто играет внизу, перестать, чтобы было лучше слышно.
- 02:36.739 --> 02:39.325 Разумеется, но разве это как раз не…
- 02:42.203 --> 02:44.706 Кто еще в этом доме станет играть на рояле?
- 02:44.789 --> 02:45.748 Точно не я.
- 02:45.832 --> 02:46.875 Франческа?
- 02:48.084 --> 02:50.253 О, вот ты где. Милая.
- 02:52.672 --> 02:53.840 Франческа.
- 02:57.093 --> 02:59.679 - Франческа! - Не нужно кричать.
- 02:59.762 --> 03:02.682 Все те уроки музыки в Бате принесли свои плоды.
- 03:03.308 --> 03:04.225 Хорошо играешь.
- 03:04.309 --> 03:05.727 Как ты тут очутилась?
- 03:05.810 --> 03:08.479 - Я всё утро торчу у двери. - Рано встала.
- 03:08.563 --> 03:12.192 Оделась, позавтракала в саду. Ведь это самый обычный день.
- 03:12.275 --> 03:13.109 Едем?
- 03:17.655 --> 03:19.574 Возможно, беспокоиться не о чем.
- 03:22.285 --> 03:25.872 Ты оценила, что именно она играла? Похоронный марш Моцарта.
- 03:25.955 --> 03:26.956 О боже.
- 03:28.374 --> 03:30.126 <i>Помимо дебютанток</i>
- 03:30.210 --> 03:34.756 <i>обсуждают то,</i> <i>кто из джентльменов станет</i>
- 03:34.839 --> 03:37.091 <i>главной добычей сезона.</i>
- 03:38.009 --> 03:42.430 <i>Ведь юным леди нужен</i> <i>кто-то сногсшибательный,</i>
- 03:42.513 --> 03:44.599 <i>за чье внимание они будут бороться.</i>
- 03:46.184 --> 03:49.938 <i>Кем бы ни оказалась</i> <i>самая блестящая пара этого года,</i>
- 03:50.021 --> 03:54.025 <i>будем надеяться, что сам процесс</i> <i>доставит нам некоторое удовольствие.</i>
- 04:08.289 --> 04:11.918 - Чего они так расшумелись? - Видно, почувствовали добычу.
- 04:27.225 --> 04:28.309 - Это… - Наш брат.
- 04:28.393 --> 04:29.519 Колин.
- 04:38.695 --> 04:39.612 Семья.
- 04:40.113 --> 04:43.283 Простите, что задержался. Пробки перед торжеством.
- 04:44.867 --> 04:46.202 А поприветствовать?
- 04:51.791 --> 04:52.709 Эл.
- 04:59.132 --> 05:00.591 Ты переоденешься или…
- 05:01.342 --> 05:05.888 <i>А то нынешнее положение дел</i> <i>уже наскучило вашей покорной слуге.</i>
- 05:58.649 --> 06:05.656 БРИДЖЕРТОНЫ
- 06:09.285 --> 06:11.496 - Расскажи про свои приключения. - Да.
- 06:11.579 --> 06:14.707 В прошлом году ты выложил всё про Средиземноморье
- 06:14.791 --> 06:16.292 еще до завтрака.
- 06:16.376 --> 06:21.422 Верно. Под лучами какого заморского солнца ты так возмужал?
- 06:21.506 --> 06:22.882 Я был нигде и везде.
- 06:23.674 --> 06:26.511 - Не стану утомлять подробностями. - Кто ты?
- 06:27.387 --> 06:30.765 - Что сделал с нашим братом? - Мне была нужна эта разлука.
- 06:30.848 --> 06:33.893 Чтобы взглянуть на всё со стороны.
- 06:34.852 --> 06:37.021 Мне бы тоже это… не помешало.
- 06:39.524 --> 06:40.650 Что?
- 06:41.818 --> 06:43.820 Мисс Энн Хартиган.
- 06:44.404 --> 06:48.658 Ее представляет мать, достопочтенная леди Хартиган.
- 06:56.165 --> 06:58.167 Мисс Долорес Стоуэлл.
- 07:02.296 --> 07:04.757 Она меня возненавидела.
- 07:04.841 --> 07:07.885 Ну что ты. Ты была прекрасна.
- 07:07.969 --> 07:09.387 Мисс Клара Ливингстон.
- 07:20.565 --> 07:22.650 Что-то принести, Ваше Величество?
- 07:22.733 --> 07:25.278 Пожалуй, гроб. Сегодня здесь такая тоска,
- 07:25.361 --> 07:28.823 что она вот-вот раньше времени сведет меня в могилу.
- 07:30.575 --> 07:32.702 Мисс Александра Мур.
- 07:33.244 --> 07:37.874 Ее представляет мать, достопочтенная леди Мур.
- 07:38.374 --> 07:41.043 С каких это пор ты стал появляться незаметно?
- 07:42.420 --> 07:44.380 С каких это пор ты полюбила рюши?
- 07:45.506 --> 07:47.091 В этом сезоне это в моде.
- 07:47.175 --> 07:48.801 Мисс Натали Грин.
- 07:50.011 --> 07:52.013 Ее представляет мать,
- 07:52.096 --> 07:55.391 достопочтенная леди Грин.
- 08:01.606 --> 08:04.734 Это же твой дебют, Франческа. Неужели ты не рада?
- 08:05.359 --> 08:08.488 Начав выходить в свет, я могу кого-то встретить.
- 08:09.322 --> 08:11.282 Было бы здорово иметь свой дом.
- 08:11.991 --> 08:15.495 Ты всего неделю как вернулась из Бата, а уже хочешь покинуть нас.
- 08:15.578 --> 08:18.456 Нет. Просто мне хочется покоя.
- 08:18.539 --> 08:23.252 Если ты ищешь покоя, боюсь, всё это будет для тебя чересчур.
- 08:23.336 --> 08:24.712 Знаешь, даже Дафна…
- 08:24.795 --> 08:26.714 Мама, не надо беспокоиться.
- 08:26.797 --> 08:30.927 Если я уживаюсь в хаосе нашего дома, значит, справлюсь и с сезоном.
- 08:32.345 --> 08:35.765 Мисс Франческа Бриджертон. Ее представляет мать,
- 08:35.848 --> 08:39.519 достопочтенная вдовствующая леди Бриджертон.
- 08:57.662 --> 09:02.250 Дебютантка Бриджертон, Ваше Величество. Вам везло с Бриджертонами.
- 09:25.439 --> 09:27.817 Мисс Уинифред Бэрраган.
- 09:28.401 --> 09:32.780 Ее представляет мать, достопочтенная баронесса Бэрраган.
- 09:47.044 --> 09:51.632 Без сомнения наша свадьба была гораздо красивее вашей.
- 09:51.716 --> 09:53.467 Мне понравилась наша свадьба.
- 09:53.551 --> 09:56.554 Да. Говорят, перестарков легче впечатлить.
- 09:56.637 --> 09:59.724 Ради удовольствия невесты я женюсь на ней еще раз.
- 09:59.807 --> 10:03.352 И еще. Лишь бы ты была счастлива.
- 10:03.436 --> 10:06.772 Потратив на это все деньги дражайшей покойной тети Петунии?
- 10:06.856 --> 10:08.983 Слава богу, что она упокоилась.
- 10:09.066 --> 10:11.152 Как раз к нашему медовому месяцу.
- 10:11.235 --> 10:12.903 Мне нравилась тетя Петуния.
- 10:12.987 --> 10:14.113 Ну разумеется.
- 10:14.196 --> 10:16.657 Скучная старая дева, уткнувшаяся в книги.
- 10:16.741 --> 10:20.077 Вовсе не скучная. Просто ей не было дела до всех вас.
- 10:20.161 --> 10:21.037 Довольно.
- 10:21.120 --> 10:23.497 Сегодня мы вернемся в общество.
- 10:23.581 --> 10:25.499 Наши финансы в порядке.
- 10:25.583 --> 10:29.795 И ни один мужчина не может нам указывать. Насладимся этим днем.
- 10:38.638 --> 10:40.848 Мэм, позволите высказаться?
- 10:40.931 --> 10:42.642 Варли, ты всегда это делаешь.
- 10:43.309 --> 10:46.437 Эта история с тетей Петунией… Не в обиду покойной,
- 10:47.104 --> 10:50.024 но разве кто поверит, что старая дева,
- 10:50.107 --> 10:54.612 у которой всю жизнь ни гроша не было, могла оставить вам состояние?
- 10:54.695 --> 10:57.782 Ради бога. В Лондоне никто не знал, как она жила.
- 10:57.865 --> 11:02.495 Она вполне могла прятать горшки с золотом под полом.
- 11:02.578 --> 11:05.206 Правда имеет обыкновение всплывать.
- 11:05.289 --> 11:06.957 Но вам виднее.
- 11:07.458 --> 11:11.170 Вот ты где. Покончила с дневной порцией грез?
- 11:11.253 --> 11:13.422 О да. Идем?
- 11:30.356 --> 11:31.732 Где она?
- 11:31.816 --> 11:34.735 Одно дело не выбрать бриллиант во время представления.
- 11:34.819 --> 11:38.322 Но не появиться на мероприятии в ее честь -
- 11:38.406 --> 11:40.408 это совсем другое.
- 11:40.491 --> 11:43.828 Неужели наши девочки настолько не оправдали ожиданий?
- 11:44.620 --> 11:48.124 Они выглядят довольно… задумчивыми.
- 11:48.999 --> 11:51.794 Вы вернулись ради чего-то конкретного?
- 11:51.877 --> 11:54.839 В поисках чего-то? Или кого-то?
- 11:54.922 --> 11:57.591 Хотите знать, намерен ли я жениться в этом сезоне?
- 11:57.675 --> 11:59.218 Боюсь, я вас разочарую.
- 11:59.301 --> 12:01.762 Хотя, если я чему и научился в странствиях,
- 12:01.846 --> 12:04.640 так это тому, что нужно быть готовым к неожиданностям.
- 12:36.839 --> 12:37.673 Надо же.
- 12:38.591 --> 12:42.052 Это же Пенелопа Фэзерингтон. Снова в платье цвета…
- 12:42.136 --> 12:43.804 - Крессида. - Элоиза!
- 12:43.888 --> 12:45.765 Вот ты где. Я тебя искала.
- 12:45.848 --> 12:47.016 А я - тебя.
- 12:47.099 --> 12:49.185 Выпьем лимонада?
- 12:49.769 --> 12:52.438 Отличная идея. Умираю от жажды.
- 12:54.231 --> 12:56.692 Разве не здорово вернуться в город?
- 12:56.776 --> 12:59.153 В деревне такая глушь и тоска.
- 12:59.904 --> 13:02.114 Для кого-то это глоток «свежего воздуха».
- 13:02.198 --> 13:05.284 Разумеется. Мне посчастливилось подружиться там с тобой.
- 13:05.367 --> 13:08.204 Но всё равно именно в Лондоне я в своей тарелке.
- 13:08.287 --> 13:10.581 А рядом с тобой сезон будет еще лучше.
- 13:12.583 --> 13:13.751 Разумеется.
- 13:17.213 --> 13:19.965 Я с детства мечтаю о будущем муже.
- 13:20.674 --> 13:24.804 Он должен быть красивым, романтичным, умным.
- 13:24.887 --> 13:27.139 Не забудь про воспитание и рост.
- 13:27.723 --> 13:31.101 Я всегда представляла того, кто пишет стихи. Но главное -
- 13:31.185 --> 13:34.063 от одного взгляда на него должны быть бабочки в животе.
- 13:36.482 --> 13:37.983 А вы, мисс Франческа?
- 13:40.778 --> 13:45.032 Полагаю, кто-то… добрый.
- 13:45.658 --> 13:48.953 Ну, это очевидно. Злого никто не хочет.
- 13:49.829 --> 13:51.413 Нет, конечно же нет.
- 13:58.963 --> 14:00.714 Неделя после медового месяца.
- 14:00.798 --> 14:03.634 А мой сын уже оставил тебя бродить в одиночестве.
- 14:04.927 --> 14:08.722 В наше отсутствие кипа бумаг на столе Энтони выросла до потолка.
- 14:09.348 --> 14:12.977 - Если повезет, успеет к первому балу. - Будем надеяться.
- 14:13.060 --> 14:17.022 В этом сезоне целых две сестры на выданье. Впереди много работы.
- 14:17.606 --> 14:20.359 Она очень спокойна, верно? Практичная девушка.
- 14:20.442 --> 14:23.988 Верно. Но практичность - антоним любви.
- 14:24.488 --> 14:26.824 Не терпится увидеть, как она справится.
- 14:28.826 --> 14:29.660 А Элоиза?
- 14:31.912 --> 14:34.039 Я не понимаю эту новую дружбу.
- 14:35.624 --> 14:38.294 Но в прошлом сезоне я так пыталась ей помочь,
- 14:38.377 --> 14:40.838 что она чуть не покинула общество.
- 14:40.921 --> 14:42.923 Так что вмешиваться не буду.
- 14:43.007 --> 14:43.924 Пока.
- 14:45.342 --> 14:48.012 Вы всегда так ясно понимаете своих детей.
- 14:49.388 --> 14:51.307 Я буду во всём на вас равняться.
- 14:51.390 --> 14:53.475 Уверена, ты легко меня превзойдешь.
- 14:53.559 --> 14:57.938 Да, прости меня. Я перееду в отдельный дом, как только его найду.
- 14:58.022 --> 15:01.442 Это сложная задача, когда сразу две дочери на выданье.
- 15:02.151 --> 15:03.193 Не волнуйтесь.
- 15:03.819 --> 15:07.281 В Индии матери долго живут с детьми уже после их свадеб.
- 15:08.073 --> 15:09.700 Я рада, что вы рядом.
- 15:11.035 --> 15:12.870 Леди Бриджертон.
- 15:12.953 --> 15:14.330 - Да. - Да. О боже.
- 15:15.080 --> 15:17.708 - Хорошо проводите время? - О да.
- 15:17.791 --> 15:20.419 Хотя все заметили отсутствие королевы.
- 15:20.502 --> 15:21.337 Да.
- 15:22.004 --> 15:25.507 Думаю, она немного сдержанна,
- 15:25.591 --> 15:27.843 ведь в прошлом году чутье ее подвело.
- 15:27.927 --> 15:31.221 Но в итоге всё образовалось как нельзя лучше.
- 15:31.305 --> 15:32.556 Я бы не беспокоилась.
- 15:32.640 --> 15:34.975 Стоит сказать это остальным матерям.
- 15:40.147 --> 15:44.360 Мои странствия? Я не могу поведать вам о них.
- 15:44.443 --> 15:46.654 Ведь вы непременно лишитесь чувств.
- 15:47.363 --> 15:48.864 А этого нельзя допустить.
- 15:49.907 --> 15:54.036 Как возможно, что ваши бальные карточки еще не расписаны кавалерами?
- 15:55.245 --> 15:58.666 Вы подобны прекрасным цветам. Все вы.
- 16:00.167 --> 16:03.963 Рассказы о моих похождениях не предназначены для столь юных леди.
- 16:04.713 --> 16:07.925 Расскажи я вам хоть самую малость,
- 16:08.509 --> 16:10.135 мне пришлось бы жениться.
- 16:16.141 --> 16:18.310 Кругом столько прекрасных леди.
- 16:19.019 --> 16:23.148 Мужчины будут за вас драться. Мне не по силам с ними тягаться.
- 16:32.366 --> 16:34.910 Утром мы обнаружили, что ночью он сбежал.
- 16:34.994 --> 16:38.330 Не удосужившись захватить ружья. Или меня.
- 16:38.998 --> 16:42.334 Будем надеяться, что будущий лорд Фэзерингтон
- 16:42.418 --> 16:43.836 будет более совестливым.
- 16:43.919 --> 16:47.214 Или склонность к воровству у вас семейное?
- 16:48.632 --> 16:50.801 Следующего лорда не будет.
- 16:50.884 --> 16:52.803 Последний лорд Фэзерингтон
- 16:52.886 --> 16:56.181 завещал всё свое имущество моим дочерям.
- 16:56.724 --> 16:59.059 Как только одна из них родит наследника.
- 16:59.643 --> 17:00.602 Правда?
- 17:02.646 --> 17:06.233 Как насчет прохладительных напитков? Или чего покрепче?
- 17:14.241 --> 17:16.660 Пен. Рад тебя видеть.
- 17:17.828 --> 17:18.829 - Неужели? - Да.
- 17:18.912 --> 17:21.415 Кажется, прошли не месяцы, а годы.
- 17:21.498 --> 17:23.417 За это время многое изменилось.
- 17:24.126 --> 17:27.254 И не говори. Но в Париже это был последний писк.
- 17:28.714 --> 17:31.300 Ты выделяешься. Хотя так всегда было.
- 17:31.383 --> 17:33.594 В конце концов это всего лишь одежда.
- 17:34.595 --> 17:37.973 А кругом всё полностью переменилось.
- 17:38.057 --> 17:41.602 Я ошибаюсь, или Элоиза ходит под ручку с Крессидой Каупер?
- 17:42.394 --> 17:45.272 Ты сам сказал: иногда время летит стремительно.
- 17:50.652 --> 17:51.904 Почему ты не сказала,
- 17:51.987 --> 17:54.323 что одна из нас станет леди Фэзерингтон?
- 17:54.406 --> 17:57.534 А почему я должна говорить вам родить сына?
- 17:57.618 --> 18:01.330 Вы обе замужние женщины. Разве пекарю говорят печь?
- 18:01.413 --> 18:04.333 Технически, один из наших сыновей будет лордом.
- 18:04.416 --> 18:06.210 А одна из нас - матерью наследника.
- 18:06.293 --> 18:09.379 «Одна из нас»? Ты причисляешь себя к нам? А где муж?
- 18:09.463 --> 18:11.715 Технически, став матерью наследника,
- 18:11.799 --> 18:14.802 первым делом я избавлюсь от всех пыльных книг.
- 18:14.885 --> 18:17.971 А потом сменю жуткие мамины шторы.
- 18:18.555 --> 18:21.683 Не переживай. Я разрешу тебе иметь книги. В гардеробе.
- 18:22.351 --> 18:25.729 Ну да, он же будет пустовать. Никто не будет вас навещать.
- 18:25.813 --> 18:30.109 Чтобы что-то унаследовать, отправляйтесь домой и беритесь за дело.
- 18:30.192 --> 18:34.363 Может, сначала заедем на пудинг? Твоя кухарка гораздо лучше нашей.
- 18:34.446 --> 18:37.533 Сама виновата, что выбрала человека без титула. Марш!
- 18:47.167 --> 18:49.545 Будем надеяться, они не будут торопиться.
- 18:54.716 --> 18:58.428 Меня утешает то, что ты всегда будешь рядом, заботиться обо мне.
- 19:35.591 --> 19:38.218 Я больше не хочу видеть этот цитрусовый цвет.
- 19:38.802 --> 19:40.637 И правда, неприятный оттенок.
- 19:40.721 --> 19:44.391 Но что вызвало эту внезапную жажду перемен?
- 19:44.933 --> 19:46.810 Я больше не могу жить дома.
- 19:46.894 --> 19:50.272 Подчиняться матери было тяжело. А теперь еще и сестры…
- 19:51.440 --> 19:53.275 Зависеть от воли самой коварной
- 19:53.358 --> 19:55.903 или самой простодушной из всех, кого я знаю…
- 19:57.905 --> 19:59.865 Я должна найти мужа.
- 20:00.532 --> 20:01.366 Пора.
- 20:02.284 --> 20:03.202 Ясно.
- 20:03.994 --> 20:07.998 У миледи есть на примете кавалер?
- 20:12.044 --> 20:13.378 Следует быть разумной.
- 20:14.171 --> 20:15.172 Добрый человек,
- 20:15.756 --> 20:18.884 который позволит мне иметь свою жизнь. Сама понимаешь.
- 20:19.885 --> 20:22.387 Тогда новый образ как нельзя кстати.
- 20:24.640 --> 20:27.809 Может, что-то из того, что сейчас носят в Париже?
- 20:34.149 --> 20:37.069 - Здорово. Откуда он? - Купил в Марселе.
- 20:37.152 --> 20:38.528 Мои духи из Парижа?
- 20:38.612 --> 20:41.365 А эти чудесные игральные карты? Это испанский?
- 20:41.448 --> 20:45.118 - Ты побывал во Франции и Испании? - Мои ноты из Италии.
- 20:45.202 --> 20:47.454 Сколько городов ты объехал за четыре месяца?
- 20:47.537 --> 20:49.373 Если честно, сбился со счета.
- 20:49.456 --> 20:52.876 Нет, не здесь. На улице. Где мама не увидит.
- 21:00.092 --> 21:01.551 Франческа, где твоя сестра?
- 21:03.470 --> 21:06.223 Элоиза! Пора к модистке.
- 21:07.391 --> 21:09.017 Из нас хоть кто-то пунктуален?
- 21:09.101 --> 21:10.894 Мама, это тебе.
- 21:12.562 --> 21:13.397 Спасибо.
- 21:18.527 --> 21:19.987 Какая красота.
- 21:20.570 --> 21:21.780 Правда.
- 21:25.200 --> 21:28.495 Бог ты мой. Мы ужасно опаздываем. Франческа.
- 21:28.578 --> 21:29.663 Элоиза!
- 21:36.920 --> 21:39.798 Элоиза. Уверен, ты не рвешься к модистке.
- 21:40.507 --> 21:41.591 Это тебе.
- 21:42.301 --> 21:43.844 - Нашла. - Это книга.
- 21:43.927 --> 21:46.763 - Редкий баварский текст о правах… - Я уже читаю.
- 21:46.847 --> 21:48.974 - «Эмму». - Роман?
- 21:49.057 --> 21:51.226 Раньше глупые романы были не для тебя.
- 21:52.269 --> 21:54.021 Возможно, мой вкус изменился.
- 21:54.730 --> 21:57.858 Раньше я читала о женщинах, покинувших общество…
- 21:57.941 --> 21:59.151 То были выдумки.
- 21:59.234 --> 22:02.779 А в этой книге есть юмор и правда, испытания дружбой.
- 22:02.863 --> 22:04.573 Гораздо правдоподобнее.
- 22:04.656 --> 22:07.826 Полагаю, пристрастия в дружбе тоже изменились?
- 22:08.952 --> 22:10.912 Этим летом Крессида меня удивила.
- 22:10.996 --> 22:13.248 Она единственная была ко мне добра.
- 22:13.332 --> 22:14.583 А что Пенелопа?
- 22:16.209 --> 22:17.836 Наши пути разошлись.
- 22:18.420 --> 22:20.922 В прошлом сезоне леди Уислдаун чуть меня не уничтожила.
- 22:21.506 --> 22:23.842 Битва проиграна. Я потеряла вкус к войне.
- 22:23.925 --> 22:26.928 Перешла на сторону победителей. В отличие от тебя, да?
- 22:28.263 --> 22:29.681 Или это правда новый ты?
- 22:31.099 --> 22:32.893 Мужчина должен хранить секреты.
- 22:34.269 --> 22:35.228 Одинокая стезя.
- 22:42.944 --> 22:45.030 МАДАМ ДЕЛАКРУА МОДИСТКА
- 23:01.713 --> 23:03.840 Рэй, подожди меня в карете.
- 23:14.476 --> 23:15.644 Я надеялась на встречу.
- 23:16.603 --> 23:20.190 Летом было не заметно. Ты пряталась в деревне.
- 23:20.774 --> 23:23.402 Я избегала общества. Не знала, хочешь ли ты меня видеть.
- 23:24.403 --> 23:26.988 А еще ты боялась, что я раскрою твою тайну.
- 23:27.614 --> 23:29.032 Я благодарна за молчание.
- 23:30.826 --> 23:33.370 Элоиза, мне очень жаль, что всё так вышло.
- 23:33.453 --> 23:37.207 Ты про то, что ты сделала? Или про то, что я узнала, кто ты?
- 23:37.999 --> 23:40.127 Ты не понимаешь. Я лишь хотела защитить…
- 23:40.210 --> 23:42.295 Нет. Мне не нужны твои объяснения.
- 23:42.379 --> 23:46.466 Я храню твой секрет именно потому, что не хочу возвращаться в прошлое.
- 23:47.843 --> 23:50.095 У тебя своя жизнь, у меня - своя.
- 23:50.178 --> 23:51.304 С Крессидой?
- 23:52.013 --> 23:53.974 Ты правда с ней дружишь?
- 23:54.057 --> 23:56.184 Всего тебе доброго, Пенелопа.
- 24:01.106 --> 24:02.274 Ваша мадера, сэр.
- 24:02.357 --> 24:05.694 Я никогда не откажусь от рюмки в середине дня,
- 24:05.777 --> 24:07.154 но что за повод?
- 24:07.237 --> 24:10.323 В благодарность. Ты вел дела во время моего медового месяца.
- 24:10.407 --> 24:12.659 Я удивлен, что всё в полном порядке.
- 24:12.742 --> 24:15.620 Даже не знаю, расчувствоваться или обидеться.
- 24:15.704 --> 24:16.830 Всё сразу?
- 24:17.831 --> 24:20.083 Если честно, было приятно иметь дело.
- 24:20.167 --> 24:24.004 Теперь ты вернулся, и я не знаю, чем себя занять.
- 24:24.087 --> 24:26.548 У мамы есть для тебя список юных леди.
- 24:26.631 --> 24:29.134 Брат, прошу, отвлеки на себя часть внимания.
- 24:29.217 --> 24:33.597 А тебя я пригласил, чтобы поздравить с армией новых поклонниц.
- 24:33.680 --> 24:35.599 Не уверен, что меня это радует.
- 24:35.682 --> 24:38.059 Бриджертоны, простите за ожидание.
- 24:38.143 --> 24:39.686 Дела идут хорошо.
- 24:39.769 --> 24:41.813 Рады слышать. Присоединитесь к нам?
- 24:41.897 --> 24:44.483 Простите. Просьба жены в приоритете.
- 24:47.736 --> 24:49.821 Уилл, к нам пришел мистер Дандэс.
- 24:50.363 --> 24:52.908 Мистер Дандэс. Хотите выпить?
- 24:52.991 --> 24:55.535 Нет. Нет, благодарю.
- 24:55.619 --> 24:58.121 Я должен спешить. Все в сборе.
- 24:58.705 --> 25:02.584 Миссис Мондрич, вы знаете свою двоюродную бабушку, леди Кент?
- 25:03.668 --> 25:04.794 Кент, да.
- 25:04.878 --> 25:08.423 Я видела ее в юности, один раз. Очень холодная особа.
- 25:08.507 --> 25:10.967 Боюсь, теперь она еще холоднее.
- 25:12.302 --> 25:13.136 Она умерла?
- 25:16.431 --> 25:17.849 Она нам что-то оставила?
- 25:17.933 --> 25:19.434 Она оставила вам не что-то.
- 25:19.518 --> 25:22.354 Она оставила вашему сыну Николасу всё.
- 25:23.271 --> 25:26.399 Несколько ваших кузенов стоят выше в очереди наследования,
- 25:26.483 --> 25:28.360 но у них нет сыновей.
- 25:28.902 --> 25:33.448 Таким образом Николас станет следующим бароном Кентским.
- 25:41.248 --> 25:43.750 Похоже, нам с тобой следует выпить.
- 26:36.219 --> 26:38.054 Не бегай. Она тебя услышит.
- 26:39.389 --> 26:41.182 - Не обращай внимания. - Не могу.
- 26:41.266 --> 26:43.560 - Уйди! Она тебя услышит. Тише. - Поверь.
- 26:43.643 --> 26:46.396 Происходящее здесь гораздо важнее.
- 26:48.898 --> 26:50.150 Мы делаем наследника.
- 26:52.110 --> 26:53.361 Ты прекрасно знаешь,
- 26:53.445 --> 26:57.157 что наследника делают совсем не так.
- 26:57.657 --> 26:59.409 Нужно с чего-то начать.
- 26:59.492 --> 27:02.454 Это моя первая неделя в роли виконтессы в моём новом доме.
- 27:02.537 --> 27:06.374 Сегодня леди Данбери дает бал. Нужно произвести хорошее впечатление.
- 27:27.479 --> 27:29.230 БАЛ ЧЕТЫРЕХ СЕЗОНОВ, 1815 ГОД
- 27:34.027 --> 27:36.237 Сегодня я попробую что-то новое.
- 28:44.222 --> 28:47.100 Леди Данбери, вы снова превзошли себя.
- 28:47.183 --> 28:51.187 Сами знаете, первый бал - важное событие.
- 28:51.271 --> 28:52.772 Я серьезно к этому отношусь.
- 28:59.279 --> 29:01.865 Интересно, о чём будет следующий фельетон.
- 29:01.948 --> 29:04.159 Сезон начался довольно скучно.
- 29:04.909 --> 29:07.454 Уверена, она что-то найдет. Или выдумает.
- 29:07.537 --> 29:10.582 Простите, мисс. Мы не забрали ваш плащ.
- 29:11.541 --> 29:12.500 Да, конечно.
- 29:19.382 --> 29:21.217 Не думаю, что это потребуется.
- 29:27.724 --> 29:29.267 Все уставились на нас?
- 29:29.350 --> 29:32.437 Дорогая, они завидуют, что ты теперь моя.
- 29:38.485 --> 29:40.570 Уставились вовсе не на нас.
- 29:43.948 --> 29:46.201 Она тратит состояние до того, как я его получу!
- 29:46.284 --> 29:47.869 Она это специально.
- 29:47.952 --> 29:50.997 Решила выбрать такой меланхоличный цвет - ее право.
- 29:59.506 --> 30:02.383 Я сказал герцогине, что на моей родине мы не…
- 30:38.127 --> 30:40.922 Мисс Фэзерингтон. Рад вас видеть.
- 30:41.005 --> 30:42.423 Потрясающее платье.
- 30:43.675 --> 30:44.759 Взаимно, милорд.
- 30:46.928 --> 30:49.472 Это я не про платье. Про первую часть.
- 30:49.556 --> 30:52.600 Вы все одеты подобающим образом.
- 30:52.684 --> 30:55.103 Разумеется, не в платья.
- 31:01.025 --> 31:02.944 Вы реально любите вышивать?
- 31:03.027 --> 31:06.364 Конечно. Это такие возможности.
- 31:07.448 --> 31:08.449 Например?
- 31:08.533 --> 31:09.784 Раз уж вы спросили.
- 31:10.577 --> 31:12.871 Старый добрый стебельчатый шов.
- 31:13.496 --> 31:16.291 Прямой шов, шов вперед иголка.
- 31:16.374 --> 31:18.626 Для смелых - французский узелок.
- 31:18.710 --> 31:19.752 О да!
- 31:20.753 --> 31:23.047 Я очень люблю читать.
- 31:23.131 --> 31:24.257 Возможно, слишком.
- 31:24.340 --> 31:26.342 Мама вечно велит отложить книги.
- 31:26.426 --> 31:29.470 Хотя, разумеется, в чтении нет ничего плохого.
- 31:29.554 --> 31:32.015 Не знаю, чем она руководствуется. Вы читаете?
- 31:32.098 --> 31:35.018 «Елочка», «перышко».
- 31:35.977 --> 31:37.520 А, еще «цепочка»!
- 31:39.022 --> 31:41.024 У вас есть любимый, мисс Элоиза?
- 31:41.649 --> 31:45.236 Что… А… Переменный шов.
- 31:46.446 --> 31:47.447 Не знаю такого.
- 31:47.530 --> 31:51.826 С его помощью можно сменить тему. На что-то помимо вышивки.
- 31:54.871 --> 31:55.788 Шутка.
- 31:56.623 --> 31:57.540 Как умно.
- 32:06.466 --> 32:07.467 - Может… - Я…
- 32:08.635 --> 32:11.888 Простите. Прошу. Слушаю вас, лорд Барнелл.
- 32:11.971 --> 32:14.682 Я хотел сказать, что нам пора откланяться.
- 32:15.266 --> 32:18.811 Не хочется давать повод леди Уислдаун написать об этом.
- 32:33.618 --> 32:35.828 Вон та. Кто это?
- 32:36.329 --> 32:39.749 Ваше Величество, это мисс Пенелопа Фэзерингтон.
- 32:39.832 --> 32:41.709 Это ее третий сезон.
- 32:41.793 --> 32:44.504 Но есть несколько новых впечатляющих претенденток,
- 32:44.587 --> 32:46.965 которых вы можете почтить своей милостью.
- 32:47.048 --> 32:49.592 А с чего я должна это делать?
- 32:49.676 --> 32:52.387 Что ж, мамаши взволнованы,
- 32:52.470 --> 32:55.139 что вы до сих пор не выбрали бриллиант.
- 32:55.223 --> 32:59.060 Бриллиант ценится как раз за свою редкость.
- 32:59.143 --> 33:03.398 Я дала один бал для бриллианта, а теперь мамаши ждут его каждый год.
- 33:04.190 --> 33:07.902 Однажды я дала бал в честь зебры. Каждый год подавать им зебру?
- 33:08.903 --> 33:13.282 Вы правы. Вы лишь раз выбрали бриллиант.
- 33:13.366 --> 33:16.577 Думаю, в первый год леди Уислдаун
- 33:16.661 --> 33:18.871 назвала бриллиант.
- 33:18.955 --> 33:21.791 И она оказалась абсолютно права насчет герцогини.
- 33:26.879 --> 33:30.133 Мисс Франческа, расскажите нам о своих хобби.
- 33:30.883 --> 33:32.343 Я играю на фортепиано.
- 33:32.427 --> 33:34.178 Прекрасно.
- 33:35.304 --> 33:37.515 А чем еще вы интересуетесь?
- 33:37.598 --> 33:40.518 Игра на фортепиано забирает большую часть времени.
- 33:41.394 --> 33:45.023 Думаю, лорд Файф хотел узнать, кто вы помимо хобби?
- 33:45.106 --> 33:47.608 Да. Чего вы хотите?
- 33:48.192 --> 33:49.736 Что вы презираете?
- 33:49.819 --> 33:51.487 Что вас вдохновляет?
- 33:53.322 --> 33:54.157 Я…
- 33:55.241 --> 33:59.829 Думаю, я нужна брату. С вашего позволения я отойду на минуту.
- 34:03.624 --> 34:06.294 Брат, мне нужно побыть в одиночестве.
- 34:08.337 --> 34:09.172 Разумеется.
- 34:21.934 --> 34:24.312 Боже. Франческа в порядке?
- 34:24.395 --> 34:27.231 Просто ей нужна минутка. Как и мне.
- 34:27.315 --> 34:31.027 И я хотел бы использовать ее, чтобы потанцевать с моей женой.
- 34:31.110 --> 34:32.779 Разумеется.
- 34:32.862 --> 34:33.988 Прошу извинить.
- 35:04.185 --> 35:05.019 Пенелопа.
- 35:15.446 --> 35:17.865 - Тебе следует танцевать. - Неужели?
- 35:18.866 --> 35:21.702 Очутиться у стены проще, чем выбраться отсюда.
- 35:22.453 --> 35:23.663 Как ни старайся.
- 35:24.455 --> 35:27.166 Зато стена не спрашивает, что меня вдохновляет.
- 35:28.126 --> 35:30.378 Тебе не понравилось говорить с ними?
- 35:30.461 --> 35:32.380 Я ожидала разговор.
- 35:32.463 --> 35:34.382 А не допрос.
- 35:34.465 --> 35:38.386 Словно я редкое насекомое, наблюдаемое под микроскопом.
- 35:39.470 --> 35:41.389 Тяготишься вниманием к себе?
- 35:42.223 --> 35:44.100 Да. Так и есть.
- 35:44.684 --> 35:46.310 Это делает тебя редкостью.
- 35:46.394 --> 35:49.397 Похоже, все Бриджертоны рождены привлекать внимание.
- 35:49.939 --> 35:51.023 Так или иначе.
- 35:53.901 --> 35:56.863 Я тоже отличаюсь от своей родни.
- 35:58.990 --> 36:00.950 Приходится нелегко, верно?
- 36:07.123 --> 36:09.417 Но они прекрасны. Каждый из них.
- 36:11.794 --> 36:13.713 Знаю. В этом тебе повезло.
- 36:16.132 --> 36:18.342 И в том, что ты привлекаешь внимание.
- 36:19.218 --> 36:20.553 Хоть это и раздражает.
- 36:21.804 --> 36:24.891 Некоторых из нас едва замечают.
- 36:26.267 --> 36:27.727 Мисс Франческа.
- 36:27.810 --> 36:28.936 Потанцуем?
- 36:32.398 --> 36:33.608 Конечно, милорд.
- 36:36.903 --> 36:38.946 Тебе следует танцевать.
- 36:39.614 --> 36:42.283 Очутиться у стены проще, чем выбраться отсюда.
- 37:15.733 --> 37:18.110 Мисс Фэзерингтон, вам нехорошо?
- 37:18.194 --> 37:20.404 Да. Простите меня. Голова разболелась.
- 37:20.488 --> 37:24.283 От холодного мороженного или ледяного взгляда ухмыляющейся мисс?
- 37:25.826 --> 37:29.830 О, не волнуйтесь. Меня регулярно испепеляют взглядом.
- 37:29.914 --> 37:31.123 Этот был на троечку.
- 37:34.502 --> 37:36.295 Лорд Деблинг, верно?
- 37:37.421 --> 37:39.590 Почему-то мне кажется, что вы тоже,
- 37:39.674 --> 37:42.301 если захотите, можете заставить страдать.
- 37:44.387 --> 37:45.304 Я?
- 37:47.431 --> 37:48.975 Ну, то есть…
- 37:50.393 --> 37:51.227 Вовсе нет.
- 37:56.857 --> 37:58.025 Простите, я…
- 37:59.694 --> 38:02.363 Какой ужас! Я такая неловкая.
- 38:02.446 --> 38:04.657 - Мои глубочайшие извинения. - Боже.
- 38:04.740 --> 38:06.575 Всякое случается.
- 38:06.659 --> 38:09.161 Мисс Фэзерингтон, я найду вам горничную.
- 38:09.829 --> 38:11.247 Вы так любезны.
- 38:11.831 --> 38:12.665 Мисс Каупер.
- 38:14.292 --> 38:17.003 Следовало выбрать что-то попрочнее.
- 38:17.086 --> 38:19.338 Если бы ты не сэкономила на ткани,
- 38:19.422 --> 38:20.673 оно бы не порвалось.
- 38:29.557 --> 38:31.309 Пен, мне так жаль.
- 38:32.852 --> 38:35.438 Случалось засиживаться допоздна.
- 38:36.772 --> 38:39.525 Пен? Похоже, что-то случилось, да?
- 38:39.608 --> 38:41.944 С девицей Фэзерингтон? Забудь о ней.
- 38:42.028 --> 38:43.821 Я хочу узнать все подробности.
- 38:43.904 --> 38:47.575 Не знаю, в чём причина, но в этом сезоне ты гораздо интереснее.
- 38:48.367 --> 38:49.493 Простите меня.
- 38:56.459 --> 38:59.420 Конечно, мисс. Карету мисс Фэзерингтон!
- 39:00.004 --> 39:00.838 Ага.
- 39:07.595 --> 39:08.846 - Пен. - Колин.
- 39:09.764 --> 39:11.057 Что ты тут делаешь?
- 39:11.140 --> 39:13.434 Просто… вышел подышать.
- 39:14.310 --> 39:18.230 Почему ты так рано уезжаешь? Особенно в таком чудесном платье.
- 39:18.314 --> 39:20.608 - Прошу, не издевайся. - Я издеваюсь?
- 39:20.691 --> 39:23.402 Я абсолютно серьезен. Этот цвет тебе идет.
- 39:25.696 --> 39:26.989 Доброй ночи.
- 39:27.073 --> 39:29.492 - А спутница? - Старым девам она не нужна.
- 39:29.575 --> 39:31.327 Ты не старая дева.
- 39:31.410 --> 39:34.038 Третий год на выданье. Ни одного претендента.
- 39:34.121 --> 39:35.247 Кто я тогда?
- 39:37.208 --> 39:40.628 Что-то не так, Пен? Между нами.
- 39:40.711 --> 39:43.255 Я писал тебе этим летом. Как всегда.
- 39:43.339 --> 39:45.800 А ты не отвечала. Признаю, ты такая не одна.
- 39:45.883 --> 39:48.511 Но если я должен сказать это вслух, хорошо.
- 39:49.303 --> 39:50.221 Я скучаю по тебе.
- 39:51.472 --> 39:52.306 Скучаешь по мне?
- 39:53.891 --> 39:56.435 Скучаешь, но ухаживать не будешь. Так?
- 39:57.770 --> 39:58.771 Пен, я…
- 39:58.854 --> 40:02.233 Я слышала твои слова на мамином балу в прошлом сезоне.
- 40:02.316 --> 40:05.403 Ты никогда не станешь ухаживать за Пенелопой Фэзерингтон.
- 40:09.073 --> 40:10.741 Нужно найти другое место.
- 40:10.825 --> 40:12.493 Тебе неловко рядом со мной.
- 40:12.576 --> 40:14.829 Разумеется, ты не станешь за мной ухаживать.
- 40:14.912 --> 40:17.998 Надо мной все потешаются. Даже с новым гардеробом.
- 40:19.250 --> 40:22.086 Не представляла, что ты можешь быть так жесток.
- 40:34.056 --> 40:36.475 ДОРОГОЙ ЧИТАТЕЛЬ, ВЕТЕР ПЕРЕМЕН МОЖЕТ БЫТЬ
- 40:38.477 --> 40:39.562 НЕИСТОВЫМ
- 40:39.645 --> 40:41.605 КОРОЛЕВА
- 40:41.689 --> 40:44.442 Я НЕ БОЮСЬ ПЕРЕМЕН.
- 40:44.525 --> 40:47.528 СТАЛ СОВЕРШЕННО ДРУГИМ ЧЕЛОВЕКОМ
- 40:47.611 --> 40:50.114 МИСТЕР КОЛИН БРИДЖЕРТОН.
- 41:03.502 --> 41:07.256 Мэм, к вам джентльмен.
- 41:09.842 --> 41:12.887 Леди Фэзерингтон, рад с вами познакомиться.
- 41:12.970 --> 41:14.513 Добрый день, мистер…
- 41:14.597 --> 41:16.849 Уолтер Дандэс, эсквайр.
- 41:16.932 --> 41:19.185 Я работаю на Корону. Отвечаю
- 41:19.268 --> 41:22.605 за непрерывность наследования в лучших семьях страны.
- 41:23.189 --> 41:24.023 Ясно.
- 41:24.565 --> 41:27.568 Чем же мы обязаны вашему визиту?
- 41:27.651 --> 41:30.863 Я узнал, что ваш кузен, Джек Фэзерингтон, покинул город
- 41:30.946 --> 41:32.615 со всем вашим состоянием.
- 41:32.698 --> 41:35.409 Да, сэр. Мой кузен оказался аферистом.
- 41:35.493 --> 41:37.328 Ужасный лжец.
- 41:38.704 --> 41:41.248 У меня есть подписанный им документ.
- 41:41.332 --> 41:44.168 Он отписывает имущество одной из ваших дочерей,
- 41:44.251 --> 41:45.669 если она родит мальчика.
- 41:46.545 --> 41:48.047 Ах да, документ.
- 41:48.881 --> 41:50.591 Он имеет законную силу.
- 41:50.674 --> 41:52.676 Даже сломанные часы правы дважды в день.
- 41:54.136 --> 41:57.848 Ситуация довольно необычная. Одна из ваших дочерей беременна?
- 41:57.932 --> 42:00.643 О, я надеюсь на это со дня на день.
- 42:02.686 --> 42:03.562 Ясно.
- 42:03.646 --> 42:07.525 На данный момент Короне не известно от других наследниках мужского пола.
- 42:07.608 --> 42:11.529 Будет крайне нелегко передавать имущество другой семье.
- 42:13.781 --> 42:17.284 Это масса хлопот и волнений для ваших арендаторов, общества,
- 42:17.368 --> 42:18.994 да и для меня тоже.
- 42:19.078 --> 42:21.914 Но если я выясню, что этот крайне выгодный вам документ -
- 42:21.997 --> 42:25.876 подделка, и это случится до того, как у вас появится наследник,
- 42:25.960 --> 42:28.212 придется начать процедуру.
- 42:30.548 --> 42:31.382 Что ж.
- 42:32.049 --> 42:35.052 Хорошо, что этот документ подлинный.
- 42:35.135 --> 42:37.555 И что мои девочки любят своих мужей.
- 42:38.639 --> 42:40.307 И правда, это очень хорошо.
- 42:40.391 --> 42:43.018 Очень скоро я снова вас навещу.
- 42:46.272 --> 42:48.023 Прекрасный дом.
- 42:50.234 --> 42:51.068 Хорошего дня.
- 43:06.500 --> 43:09.211 К счастью, в этом сезоне конкуренток почти нет.
- 43:09.712 --> 43:12.840 Кроме Франчески, которая вызвала огромный интерес.
- 43:13.507 --> 43:17.386 Но история с Пенелопой - отличное предупреждение. Что скажешь?
- 43:17.469 --> 43:20.556 Думаю, твое поведение всё ясно дало всем понять.
- 43:20.639 --> 43:21.515 Не одобряешь?
- 43:22.808 --> 43:27.021 - Я думала, мы ее не любим. - Это был жестокий и ненужный поступок.
- 43:29.231 --> 43:33.736 Ты часто говоришь о своих трудностях в поисках мужа.
- 43:35.237 --> 43:39.950 Ты не думала, что было бы проще, не будь ты столь… прямолинейна?
- 43:43.537 --> 43:45.539 Найти мужа действительно трудно.
- 43:47.583 --> 43:49.835 Но найти подругу было еще труднее.
- 43:51.795 --> 43:53.797 После дебюта их почти не осталось.
- 43:54.715 --> 43:55.716 Настоящих.
- 43:57.051 --> 43:58.177 В детстве они были.
- 43:59.386 --> 44:01.889 Но сезон разводит молодых леди.
- 44:02.765 --> 44:04.600 Мы становимся соперницами.
- 44:06.935 --> 44:10.189 Возможно, я пала жертвой этого… раз.
- 44:10.689 --> 44:11.940 Или два.
- 44:12.024 --> 44:13.025 Или три.
- 44:17.154 --> 44:18.238 Но ты права.
- 44:19.615 --> 44:22.576 Общество не стремится сплотить нас. Я…
- 44:23.911 --> 44:25.788 Я думала, это только я вижу.
- 44:27.289 --> 44:29.833 Я пыталась подружиться с тобой в твой первый сезон.
- 44:30.668 --> 44:32.378 Но ты не захотела сблизиться.
- 44:32.920 --> 44:34.380 Я тебя не осуждаю.
- 44:35.923 --> 44:37.466 Я не всегда была добра.
- 44:40.094 --> 44:42.513 Но раз Пенелопа лишилась твоей дружбы…
- 44:44.515 --> 44:45.474 Ты права.
- 44:46.141 --> 44:48.143 Она не заслуживает моего внимания.
- 44:48.894 --> 44:49.937 И твоего.
- 44:52.606 --> 44:56.443 Давай думать только о себе. Мы гораздо интереснее.
- 44:58.070 --> 44:59.613 Я склонна согласиться.
- 45:18.882 --> 45:19.758 Ты вернулся.
- 45:22.803 --> 45:24.388 Как твои встречи?
- 45:24.471 --> 45:26.265 Им далеко до нашей постели.
- 45:27.683 --> 45:29.017 Вернемся туда?
- 45:34.273 --> 45:36.775 Сначала мне нужно кое-что с тобой обсудить.
- 45:40.362 --> 45:41.363 Твою мать.
- 45:41.447 --> 45:42.322 Знаю.
- 45:43.949 --> 45:46.744 Она делает всё возможное, чтобы отложить переезд.
- 45:46.827 --> 45:48.120 Я с ней поговорю.
- 45:48.203 --> 45:49.538 Может, не надо?
- 45:50.831 --> 45:53.500 Она обожает выполнять обязанности виконтессы.
- 45:54.376 --> 45:58.630 А я долгие годы заботилась об Эдвине и вела дела семейства Шарма.
- 45:59.673 --> 46:02.134 И я еще не видела тебя более счастливым,
- 46:02.676 --> 46:04.344 чем когда ты был свободен от дел.
- 46:06.180 --> 46:08.599 Так почему бы хоть раз не подумать о себе,
- 46:09.641 --> 46:10.976 продлив медовый месяц?
- 46:12.603 --> 46:13.729 Ты уверена?
- 46:14.938 --> 46:19.318 Мы всю жизнь будем виконтом и виконтессой.
- 46:22.905 --> 46:25.491 А сейчас единственное, что меня интересует,
- 46:25.574 --> 46:27.075 это рождение наследников.
- 46:28.410 --> 46:29.787 Пусть твоя мать останется.
- 46:29.870 --> 46:32.372 Больше ни слова
- 46:33.582 --> 46:35.709 о моей матери.
- 46:48.013 --> 46:48.972 Дорогая.
- 46:51.016 --> 46:53.602 Расскажи мне про вчерашний вечер.
- 46:54.812 --> 46:56.730 Тебе понравился твой первый бал?
- 46:57.523 --> 46:59.691 Было… приятно.
- 47:07.241 --> 47:08.158 Моя дорогая,
- 47:08.700 --> 47:11.995 представь, что балы - это всё равно что игра дуэтом.
- 47:13.205 --> 47:16.416 Играя с другим человеком, ты становишься уязвимым.
- 47:16.500 --> 47:19.419 И это может быть пугающим.
- 47:19.503 --> 47:21.797 Наверное. Но оно того стоит.
- 47:22.506 --> 47:25.008 Ведь ты можешь найти того,
- 47:25.717 --> 47:27.636 с кем вы будете играть в унисон.
- 47:27.719 --> 47:29.721 Мама, я не боюсь балов.
- 47:30.347 --> 47:31.682 Или поисков мужа.
- 47:32.641 --> 47:36.436 Отношениям как у вас с отцом и у Дафны с Энтони можно позавидовать.
- 47:36.520 --> 47:38.897 Но это большая редкость.
- 47:38.981 --> 47:41.191 И я не уверена, что мне нужны
- 47:41.275 --> 47:45.529 бабочки или… игра в унисон, используя твою метафору.
- 47:45.612 --> 47:49.408 Но хотя бы постарайся быть открытой, если тебе встретится любовь.
- 47:50.409 --> 47:51.243 Хорошо?
- 47:52.327 --> 47:53.495 Время покажет.
- 47:53.579 --> 47:54.454 Мэм?
- 47:54.997 --> 47:56.748 Вас ищет виконтесса.
- 48:06.592 --> 48:08.010 Мисс, к вам посетитель.
- 48:12.639 --> 48:13.891 Прости, что потревожил.
- 48:16.018 --> 48:16.852 Ничего.
- 48:21.732 --> 48:24.484 И прости за то бессердечное высказывание.
- 48:25.319 --> 48:28.739 - Мне больно видеть, что ты расстроена. - Тогда зря пришел.
- 48:30.866 --> 48:32.951 Я не тот, кем был в прошлом сезоне.
- 48:34.036 --> 48:36.038 И я точно не стыжусь тебя, Пен.
- 48:36.121 --> 48:37.581 Как раз совсем наоборот.
- 48:37.664 --> 48:41.710 Я ищу тебя на всех собраниях, зная, что ты поднимешь мне настроение
- 48:41.793 --> 48:44.504 и с тобой я увижу мир совершенно иным.
- 48:45.172 --> 48:48.300 Ты умная, теплая и…
- 48:50.135 --> 48:52.262 Я горжусь тем, что мы добрые друзья.
- 48:52.846 --> 48:53.972 Обидно видеть,
- 48:55.766 --> 48:58.602 как ты легко вливаешься в общество.
- 48:59.353 --> 49:02.022 А я каждый год молюсь, чтобы найти свое место
- 49:02.105 --> 49:05.317 среди девиц на выданье, но все надежды оказываются тщетными.
- 49:06.234 --> 49:08.654 Ну, если ты ищешь мужа,
- 49:08.737 --> 49:11.323 тогда… позволь мне помочь.
- 49:11.406 --> 49:12.783 Каким образом?
- 49:12.866 --> 49:15.369 Этим летом я побывал в 17 городах.
- 49:15.452 --> 49:19.414 И понял, что шарму можно обучить.
- 49:19.498 --> 49:22.918 Колин, ты не можешь подсказывать мне на каждом балу.
- 49:23.001 --> 49:24.211 В этом нет нужды.
- 49:24.711 --> 49:25.921 Мы организуем уроки.
- 49:26.004 --> 49:28.173 Уверен, ты быстро всё усвоишь.
- 49:31.218 --> 49:35.597 Больше всего я хочу снова завоевать благосклонность единственного человека,
- 49:35.681 --> 49:39.142 с которым я всегда чувствовал, что меня… ценят.
- 49:45.107 --> 49:46.066 Что скажешь?
- 49:46.149 --> 49:47.859 Предлагаешь пожать тебе руку?
- 49:47.943 --> 49:49.611 Возможно, это неожиданно,
- 49:49.695 --> 49:52.280 но… разве мы не друзья?
- 50:04.960 --> 50:05.794 Друзья.
- 50:08.797 --> 50:10.007 Скоро увидимся.
- 50:32.112 --> 50:33.447 Это фельетон Уислдаун?
- 50:34.281 --> 50:36.158 <i>Дорогой читатель,</i>
- 50:36.241 --> 50:38.660 <i>ветер перемен может быть</i>
- 50:38.744 --> 50:42.247 <i>внезапным, неистовым и смертоносным.</i>
- 50:42.330 --> 50:45.459 <i>Особенно для тех, кто к нему не готов.</i>
- 50:48.670 --> 50:50.964 <i>Вашей покорной слуге кажется,</i>
- 50:51.048 --> 50:54.801 <i>что наше общество</i> <i>подхватил ветер перемен.</i>
- 50:54.885 --> 50:56.303 <i>Без сомнения.</i>
- 50:57.137 --> 50:58.013 Лорд Кент.
- 51:00.265 --> 51:01.933 Добро пожаловать в ваш новый дом.
- 51:09.399 --> 51:13.278 <i>Одни крепко держатся за то,</i> <i>что они знают.</i>
- 51:18.158 --> 51:21.244 <i>В первую очередь наша королева,</i>
- 51:21.328 --> 51:24.081 <i>которая до сих пор</i> <i>не выбрала бриллиант.</i>
- 51:24.164 --> 51:27.542 <i>Автор сих строк задается вопросом,</i> <i>в чём причина.</i>
- 51:27.626 --> 51:31.088 <i>Это признак выдержки или страха?</i>
- 51:31.671 --> 51:33.131 <i>Если дело в последнем,</i>
- 51:33.215 --> 51:36.468 <i>то гордость за прошлые достижения</i> <i>не пойдет ей на пользу,</i>
- 51:37.052 --> 51:40.680 <i>ведь наши дебютантки</i> <i>готовы начать этот сезон.</i>
- 51:40.764 --> 51:42.891 <i>Ваш ход, Ваше Величество.</i>
- 51:46.561 --> 51:49.940 Похоже леди Уислдаун снова взялась за свои игры.
- 51:52.609 --> 51:54.528 Примете вызов, Ваше Величество?
- 51:55.403 --> 51:56.696 Я люблю играть.
- 51:58.365 --> 52:00.867 Особенно когда я так часто выигрываю.
- 52:06.623 --> 52:08.166 Рано сегодня принесли.
- 52:08.250 --> 52:10.710 Я читаю. Ты взбесилась?
- 52:10.794 --> 52:13.880 Тебя как никого заинтересует сегодняшний выпуск.
- 52:14.464 --> 52:17.384 У леди Уислдаун столько мыслей о твоих Бриджертонах.
- 52:18.051 --> 52:19.678 Точнее, о Колине.
- 52:20.887 --> 52:23.515 Что бы она о нём ни сказала, она ошибается.
- 52:23.598 --> 52:28.520 <i>Осмелюсь сказать,</i> <i>что автор сих строк тоже готов к игре.</i>
- 52:28.603 --> 52:32.649 <i>Я не боюсь перемен. Я их приветствую.</i>
- 52:33.400 --> 52:35.026 <i>А есть те,</i>
- 52:35.110 --> 52:38.572 <i>кто чересчур рьяно</i> <i>стремятся к переменам.</i>
- 52:38.655 --> 52:40.031 Добрый день, сестра.
- 52:40.740 --> 52:41.867 Брат! Добрый.
- 52:42.492 --> 52:43.326 Где ты был?
- 52:43.410 --> 52:45.078 Нигде. Что читаешь?
- 52:45.162 --> 52:45.996 Ничего.
- 52:52.752 --> 52:53.628 Уислдаун.
- 52:54.921 --> 52:56.214 Упомянула тебя.
- 53:00.385 --> 53:02.053 <i>А есть и те,</i>
- 53:02.137 --> 53:05.640 <i>кто чересчур рьяно</i> <i>стремятся к переменам.</i>
- 53:06.433 --> 53:08.518 <i>К примеру, мистер Колин Бриджертон.</i>
- 53:08.602 --> 53:12.314 <i>Похоже, он стал</i> <i>совершенно другим человеком.</i>
- 53:13.190 --> 53:14.524 <i>Задаешься вопросом,</i>
- 53:14.608 --> 53:17.694 <i>этот новый человек - его настоящее я</i>
- 53:17.777 --> 53:20.197 <i>или всего лишь</i> <i>способ привлечь внимание.</i>
- 53:20.697 --> 53:24.201 <i>В курсе ли сам мистер Бриджертон?</i>
- 53:29.039 --> 53:30.081 Как ты?
- 53:31.082 --> 53:32.918 Мне нет дела до ее писанины.
- 53:33.001 --> 53:35.962 Но она уничтожила мисс Томпсон, то есть леди Крейн,
- 53:36.713 --> 53:39.216 и чуть не уничтожила тебя в прошлом сезоне.
- 53:40.217 --> 53:42.219 Я никогда ее не прощу.
- 53:45.597 --> 53:46.431 Есть идеи…
- 53:47.682 --> 53:49.309 …кто это может быть?
- 53:49.392 --> 53:52.604 Нет. Но поверь мне, если я когда-нибудь узнаю,
- 53:52.687 --> 53:55.273 я сделаю всё, чтобы разрушить ее жизнь.
- 55:36.875 --> 55:39.377 Перевод субтитров: Ксения Гребеникова
- 07:02.296 --> 07:04.757 She hated me.
- 07:04.757 --> 07:07.885 Impossible. You were perfect.
- 00:29.320 --> 00:30.321 Hup!
- 00:42.250 --> 00:43.710 Whistledown for you.
- 00:43.710 --> 00:46.129 <i>Dearest Gentle Reader,</i>
- 00:46.129 --> 00:48.882 <i>we have been apart for far too long.</i>
- 00:50.383 --> 00:53.386 <i>At last, London's fashionable set</i>
- 00:53.386 --> 00:54.929 <i>has made its return.</i>
- 00:54.929 --> 00:58.725 <i>And so too has this author.</i>
- 00:59.726 --> 01:01.019 It's good to be home.
- 01:02.937 --> 01:04.272 It certainly is.
- 01:04.272 --> 01:06.399 <i>As the season begins,</i>
- 01:06.399 --> 01:09.277 <i>the question on everyone's mind is,</i>
- 01:09.277 --> 01:12.864 <i>of course, which newly minted debutante</i>
- 01:12.864 --> 01:14.908 <i>will shine the brightest?</i>
- 01:14.908 --> 01:18.912 <i>The crop this year appears to be rather dazzling.</i>
- 01:18.912 --> 01:22.207 <i>There is the exquisite Miss Malhotra,</i>
- 01:22.207 --> 01:24.084 <i>said to be quite a catch.</i>
- 01:24.084 --> 01:26.252 <i>Miss Stowell is thought to be</i>
- 01:26.252 --> 01:28.713 <i>a most accomplished young lady.</i>
- 01:31.841 --> 01:34.344 <i>The mild-mannered Miss Hartigan</i>
- 01:34.344 --> 01:37.472 <i>will certainly appeal to genteel suitors.</i>
- 01:37.972 --> 01:43.561 <i>Miss Kenworthy is a welcome entry, brimming with confidence and charisma.</i>
- 01:44.062 --> 01:48.024 <i>And then there is Miss Barragan, who certainly stands out in a crowd.</i>
- 01:48.024 --> 01:49.901 She wrote my name!
- 01:52.445 --> 01:54.656 It seems as though your business is thriving.
- 01:54.656 --> 01:55.990 As is yours.
- 02:01.454 --> 02:04.082 <i>And let us not forget,</i>
- 02:04.082 --> 02:06.584 <i>should we all need a little excitement,</i>
- 02:06.584 --> 02:10.797 <i>there is another Bridgerton making her debut this year.</i>
- 02:11.381 --> 02:12.465 I cannot hear anything.
- 02:12.465 --> 02:14.717 Probably because she knows we are out here eavesdropping.
- 02:14.717 --> 02:17.303 - I am sure that she is well enough. - Oh, as you were last year?
- 02:17.303 --> 02:18.721 This is not last year.
- 02:19.264 --> 02:21.099 - Francesca is-- - Very quiet.
- 02:21.099 --> 02:24.811 Perhaps she has been stunned into silence by the beauty of that giant feather.
- 02:24.811 --> 02:26.062 I cannot wait to wear one.
- 02:26.062 --> 02:28.064 Perhaps she has swallowed that giant feather.
- 02:29.274 --> 02:32.235 - We are not ready to go? - Is there anything we can do to help?
- 02:32.235 --> 02:34.737 Would you mind asking whoever is playing downstairs
- 02:34.737 --> 02:36.656 to quieten down so I might hear?
- 02:36.656 --> 02:39.325 I can try, but is that not, in fact...
- 02:42.203 --> 02:44.622 Who else would be playing pianoforte in this house?
- 02:44.622 --> 02:45.748 Certainly not me.
- 02:45.748 --> 02:46.875 Francesca?
- 02:48.084 --> 02:50.253 Why, there you are. Dear.
- 02:52.672 --> 02:53.840 Francesca.
- 02:57.177 --> 02:59.679 - Francesca. - There's no need to shout.
- 02:59.679 --> 03:02.640 All those piano lessons in Bath have reaped their reward.
- 03:02.640 --> 03:04.225 You've gotten good.
- 03:04.225 --> 03:07.520 How did you get down here? I've been outside your door all morning.
- 03:07.520 --> 03:10.190 I woke up early. Got dressed. Took breakfast in the garden.
- 03:10.190 --> 03:12.191 Because it is just another day.
- 03:12.191 --> 03:13.109 Shall we go?
- 03:17.655 --> 03:19.490 Perhaps we do not need to worry so much.
- 03:22.285 --> 03:24.704 You do realize what tune she was playing just now, don't you?
- 03:24.704 --> 03:25.872 Mozart's "Funeral March."
- 03:25.872 --> 03:26.998 Oh God.
- 03:28.374 --> 03:30.126 <i>Debutantes aside,</i>
- 03:30.126 --> 03:34.756 <i>there is also the question of which gentleman will reveal himself</i>
- 03:34.756 --> 03:37.091 <i>as the prize of the season.</i>
- 03:38.009 --> 03:42.430 <i>For our young ladies will certainly need someone dashing</i>
- 03:42.430 --> 03:44.515 <i>at whom to set their caps.</i>
- 03:46.184 --> 03:50.104 <i>Whoever it is that makes the finest match this year,</i>
- 03:50.104 --> 03:54.025 <i>let us hope that their pairing brings some titillation.</i>
- 04:08.206 --> 04:10.166 What are they all squawking about?
- 04:10.166 --> 04:11.918 Like they spotted a side of beef.
- 04:26.724 --> 04:27.642 Is that--
- 04:27.642 --> 04:28.935 - Our brother. - Colin.
- 04:38.194 --> 04:39.612 Family.
- 04:40.113 --> 04:43.449 Apologies for my late arrival. I got stuck in presentation traffic.
- 04:44.867 --> 04:46.286 Do you not wish to greet me?
- 04:51.791 --> 04:52.709 El.
- 04:59.132 --> 05:00.842 Are you not gonna change, or...
- 05:01.384 --> 05:05.888 <i>For, of the status quo, this author quickly grows weary.</i>
- 06:09.285 --> 06:11.496 You must tell us about your adventures. Yes.
- 06:11.496 --> 06:14.749 Upon your return last season, we heard all about your toil across the Mediterranean
- 06:14.749 --> 06:16.292 by the time we broke our first fast.
- 06:16.292 --> 06:21.422 Indeed. Under what foreign sun did you apparently get so sturdy?
- 06:21.422 --> 06:23.591 I was nowhere and everywhere.
- 06:23.591 --> 06:26.511 - I shall not bore you with details. - I must know, who are you?
- 06:27.387 --> 06:30.723 - What have you done with our brother? - This time away was exactly what I needed.
- 06:30.723 --> 06:33.893 It has given me some sense of proportion.
- 06:33.893 --> 06:34.811 Mmm.
- 06:34.811 --> 06:37.021 I should like some... proportion.
- 06:39.440 --> 06:40.650 What?
- 06:41.734 --> 06:44.404 Miss Anne Hartigan.
- 06:44.404 --> 06:48.699 Presented by her mother, the Right Honorable Lady Hartigan.
- 06:56.165 --> 06:58.251 Miss Dolores Stowell.
- 07:02.296 --> 07:04.757 She hated me.
- 07:04.757 --> 07:07.885 Impossible. You were perfect.
- 07:07.885 --> 07:09.804 Miss Clara Livingston.
- 07:20.565 --> 07:22.650 Shall I fetch you a refreshment, Your Majesty?
- 07:22.650 --> 07:25.278 Perhaps a casket. The lack of interest here today
- 07:25.278 --> 07:28.990 shall usher me to an early grave at any moment.
- 07:30.575 --> 07:32.702 Miss Alexandra Moore.
- 07:33.244 --> 07:37.874 Presented by her mother, the Right Honorable Lady Moore.
- 07:38.374 --> 07:41.043 Since when are you one who simply glides in?
- 07:42.420 --> 07:44.380 Since when do you wear so many ruffles?
- 07:45.506 --> 07:48.801 It is the style of the season. Miss Natalie Green.
- 07:50.011 --> 07:52.013 Presented by her mother,
- 07:52.013 --> 07:55.391 the Right Honorable Lady Green.
- 08:01.606 --> 08:04.734 It is your debut, Francesca. Are you not excited?
- 08:05.359 --> 08:08.488 I suppose entering society means I might meet someone.
- 08:09.322 --> 08:11.282 It would be pleasant to have my own house.
- 08:11.991 --> 08:15.536 You are only a week back from Bath, and already you are eager to escape us.
- 08:15.536 --> 08:18.456 No. I simply could use some peace.
- 08:18.456 --> 08:23.252 I'm afraid if peace is what you are after, then this may all be rather overwhelming.
- 08:23.252 --> 08:24.712 You know, even Daphne--
- 08:24.712 --> 08:26.714 Mama, do not trouble yourself.
- 08:26.714 --> 08:28.925 If I can be at ease in the chaos of our home,
- 08:28.925 --> 08:30.927 surely, I shall find my way in the season.
- 08:32.345 --> 08:35.765 Miss Francesca Bridgerton, presented by her mother,
- 08:35.765 --> 08:39.519 the Right Honorable Dowager Lady Bridgerton.
- 08:57.662 --> 09:02.250 The Bridgerton girl, Your Majesty. You have had good luck with Bridgertons.
- 09:25.439 --> 09:27.817 Miss Winifred Barragan.
- 09:28.401 --> 09:32.780 Presented by her mother, the Right Honorable Baroness Barragan.
- 09:47.086 --> 09:51.632 Unquestionably, our wedding was much more beautiful than yours.
- 09:51.632 --> 09:53.509 I thought our wedding was rather fine.
- 09:53.509 --> 09:56.554 Yes. They do say it is easier to impress older brides.
- 09:56.554 --> 09:59.724 If it were to please my bride, I would wed you a second time.
- 09:59.724 --> 10:03.352 A third. As many as it takes to make you happy.
- 10:03.352 --> 10:06.772 And spend our dear departed Aunt Petunia's money in the process, Mr. Dankworth?
- 10:06.772 --> 10:08.983 Thank goodness Aunt Petunia died.
- 10:08.983 --> 10:11.152 And just in time for our honeymoon.
- 10:11.152 --> 10:14.113 I rather liked Aunt Petunia. Of course <i>you</i> did.
- 10:14.113 --> 10:16.657 She was a tiresome spinster who always had her nose in a book.
- 10:16.657 --> 10:20.077 She was not tiresome. She just did not care for either of you.
- 10:20.077 --> 10:24.874 Enough. Today we return to society in good standing, our finances in order,
- 10:24.874 --> 10:27.585 and without any man telling us what to do.
- 10:27.585 --> 10:29.211 Let us enjoy this day.
- 10:38.637 --> 10:40.848 If I may speak my mind, ma'am.
- 10:40.848 --> 10:42.600 You always do, Varley.
- 10:42.600 --> 10:46.437 The Aunt Petunia story, no offense to the dead,
- 10:47.104 --> 10:50.024 but will anyone really believe that a spinster
- 10:50.024 --> 10:54.528 who never owned so much as a donkey cart would have a fortune to leave to you?
- 10:54.528 --> 10:57.865 For heaven's sake. No one in London knows how she lived.
- 10:57.865 --> 11:02.495 For all they know, she could've been hiding jars of coin under her floorboards.
- 11:02.495 --> 11:05.206 The truth has a way of rearing its ugly head.
- 11:05.206 --> 11:06.957 But pay no heed to me.
- 11:07.458 --> 11:08.959 There you are.
- 11:08.959 --> 11:11.170 I take it you are finally done with daydreaming?
- 11:11.170 --> 11:13.422 I am. Shall we go?
- 11:25.810 --> 11:26.644 Oh!
- 11:30.231 --> 11:31.816 Where is she?
- 11:31.816 --> 11:34.735 Not to pick a diamond at the presentation is one thing,
- 11:34.735 --> 11:38.322 but not to appear at an event arranged in her honor
- 11:38.322 --> 11:40.408 is another thing altogether.
- 11:40.408 --> 11:43.828 Did our girls this morning leave that much to be desired?
- 11:44.620 --> 11:48.124 They do seem rather... preoccupied.
- 11:48.999 --> 11:51.794 Do you find yourself back in town for any particular reason?
- 11:51.794 --> 11:54.839 In search of something? Or someone?
- 11:54.839 --> 11:57.508 If you're asking if I came back to take a wife this season,
- 11:57.508 --> 11:59.218 I'm afraid the answer may disappoint.
- 11:59.218 --> 12:01.762 Although, if there is one thing I learned on my travels,
- 12:01.762 --> 12:04.640 it is forever to expect the unexpected.
- 12:37.047 --> 12:38.257 Oh, look.
- 12:38.757 --> 12:42.052 If it isn't Penelope Featherington. Back in a dress the color of--
- 12:42.052 --> 12:43.762 Cressida. Eloise!
- 12:43.762 --> 12:47.016 There you are. I've been looking for you. And I for you.
- 12:47.016 --> 12:49.185 Shall we go and get some lemonade?
- 12:49.810 --> 12:52.480 Splendid idea. I am parched with thirst.
- 12:54.231 --> 12:56.692 Is it not congenial to be back from the country?
- 12:56.692 --> 12:59.153 All that draft and emptiness.
- 12:59.904 --> 13:02.114 You do know others call that "fresh air"?
- 13:02.114 --> 13:03.240 Of course.
- 13:03.240 --> 13:05.284 Befriending you there was a happy surprise.
- 13:05.284 --> 13:08.204 But ultimately, it is London where I am most at home.
- 13:08.204 --> 13:11.290 And the season will be all the better now I have you by my side.
- 13:12.583 --> 13:13.751 Of course.
- 13:17.213 --> 13:19.965 I've been dreaming of my future husband since I was a child.
- 13:20.758 --> 13:24.804 He should be handsome, romantic, intelligent.
- 13:24.804 --> 13:27.139 Do not forget well-bred and tall.
- 13:27.723 --> 13:31.101 I have always pictured a man who writes poetry. But above all else,
- 13:31.101 --> 13:34.063 it should be someone who gives me butterflies just by looking at him.
- 13:36.482 --> 13:37.983 And you, Miss Francesca?
- 13:40.778 --> 13:45.032 Someone... kind, I suppose.
- 13:45.658 --> 13:48.953 Well, that is plain. You do not want someone unkind.
- 13:49.829 --> 13:51.413 No. Of course not.
- 13:58.921 --> 14:00.839 One week returned from honeymoon,
- 14:00.839 --> 14:03.592 and already my son has left you to fend for yourself.
- 14:04.843 --> 14:07.096 Our time away means Anthony's stack of paperwork
- 14:07.096 --> 14:08.722 has grown nearly to the ceiling.
- 14:09.348 --> 14:11.392 With luck, he'll be caught up by the first ball.
- 14:11.392 --> 14:15.312 Let us hope so. With two sisters out in society this season,
- 14:15.312 --> 14:17.064 the work has only just begun.
- 14:17.565 --> 14:20.442 She seems rather composed, does she not? Quite practical.
- 14:20.442 --> 14:23.988 She is, but practicality is quite the opposite of love.
- 14:24.488 --> 14:26.615 I am eager to see how she will fare.
- 14:28.826 --> 14:29.660 And Eloise?
- 14:31.912 --> 14:33.914 I do not understand this new friendship.
- 14:35.457 --> 14:38.252 But I spent enough time last season trying to assist her
- 14:38.252 --> 14:40.880 until my assistance nearly drove her outside society.
- 14:40.880 --> 14:42.923 So I am not interfering.
- 14:42.923 --> 14:43.924 For now.
- 14:45.342 --> 14:48.012 You always see your children so clearly.
- 14:49.388 --> 14:51.307 I hope to be half the viscountess you are.
- 14:51.307 --> 14:53.475 I am sure you will be even greater.
- 14:53.475 --> 14:57.938 And forgive me. I will move into a dower house as soon as I find one.
- 14:57.938 --> 15:01.442 It is quite a task having two girls in society at once.
- 15:02.151 --> 15:03.193 Do not worry.
- 15:03.819 --> 15:07.406 Back in India, mothers stay in the home long beyond their children's wedding.
- 15:08.073 --> 15:09.700 I am grateful to have you close.
- 15:11.035 --> 15:12.286 Lady Bridgerton.
- 15:12.286 --> 15:13.287 Yes.
- 15:13.287 --> 15:14.330 - Oh! - Oh, dear.
- 15:14.330 --> 15:16.540 Are you enjoying the festivities today?
- 15:16.540 --> 15:17.666 Very much.
- 15:17.666 --> 15:20.419 Although the queen's absence is noted.
- 15:20.419 --> 15:21.337 Yes.
- 15:22.004 --> 15:25.507 I do think she finds herself somewhat reticent
- 15:25.507 --> 15:27.843 after her instincts went astray last season.
- 15:27.843 --> 15:30.888 But, of course, it all worked out in the end.
- 15:30.888 --> 15:32.556 I would not worry.
- 15:32.556 --> 15:35.017 Perhaps you should tell that to the other mamas.
- 15:35.017 --> 15:37.353 Mmm...
- 15:40.147 --> 15:44.360 My travels? I cannot begin to share my travel adventures with you.
- 15:44.360 --> 15:46.362 If I did, you would swoon.
- 15:47.279 --> 15:49.782 And we cannot have that.
- 15:49.782 --> 15:52.034 How is it possible your dance cards for the season
- 15:52.034 --> 15:54.036 are not yet full of suitors?
- 15:55.162 --> 15:57.498 You are flowers in bloom.
- 15:57.498 --> 15:58.749 Each one of you.
- 16:00.167 --> 16:03.754 My stories from abroad are not suitable for such tender young ladies.
- 16:04.672 --> 16:08.425 Were I to tell you even the tiniest adventure, well,
- 16:08.425 --> 16:10.135 I'd be forced to marry you.
- 16:16.141 --> 16:18.060 Such an array of beautiful ladies.
- 16:18.978 --> 16:20.771 Men will be fighting over you.
- 16:21.772 --> 16:23.357 I cannot compete.
- 16:23.357 --> 16:24.692 Oh...
- 16:32.366 --> 16:34.910 We woke up to find he had fled in the night.
- 16:34.910 --> 16:38.414 He did not even stop to take his gun cabinet. Or me.
- 16:38.414 --> 16:41.458 Well, let us hope that whoever lays claim to be
- 16:41.458 --> 16:43.836 the next Lord Featherington has more scruples.
- 16:43.836 --> 16:47.214 Or does common thievery run in the family?
- 16:48.632 --> 16:50.843 In fact, there shall be no more laying claim,
- 16:50.843 --> 16:52.845 as the last Lord Featherington
- 16:52.845 --> 16:56.181 wrote a document bequeathing the estate to my girls.
- 16:56.724 --> 16:58.934 Just as soon as one of them produces an heir.
- 16:59.643 --> 17:00.602 Did he?
- 17:02.646 --> 17:06.233 Shall we get some refreshments? Perhaps something strong?
- 17:14.283 --> 17:16.744 Pen. It is good to see you.
- 17:17.411 --> 17:18.245 Is it?
- 17:18.245 --> 17:21.415 Truly. It has felt like I've been absent years instead of months.
- 17:21.415 --> 17:23.500 Much has certainly changed in that time.
- 17:24.126 --> 17:27.254 A good deal, I know, but it was all the rage in Paris.
- 17:28.714 --> 17:31.300 You look distinguished. But, then again, you always have.
- 17:31.300 --> 17:33.719 When all is said and done, it is merely clothing.
- 17:34.678 --> 17:38.015 Whereas elsewhere, things seem to have fundamentally changed.
- 17:38.015 --> 17:41.602 Am I mistaken, or was Eloise walking arm-in-arm with Cressida Cowper?
- 17:42.394 --> 17:45.272 As you said, sometimes time moves rather quickly.
- 17:50.652 --> 17:52.279 Why didn't you tell us sooner
- 17:52.279 --> 17:54.323 one of us would be the new Lady Featherington?
- 17:54.323 --> 17:57.534 What purpose would there be in telling either of you to make a son?
- 17:57.534 --> 18:01.330 You're both married women. Must we tell a baker to bake?
- 18:01.330 --> 18:04.333 Technically, one of our sons would be the new Lord Featherington.
- 18:04.333 --> 18:06.210 One of us would be the heir's mama.
- 18:06.210 --> 18:09.379 "One of us"? You think you are part of this race? With what husband?
- 18:09.379 --> 18:11.673 Technically, when I'm the heir's mama,
- 18:11.673 --> 18:14.802 the first necessity will be ridding the house of dusty books.
- 18:14.802 --> 18:17.971 After, of course, I've changed Mama's ghastly curtains.
- 18:18.555 --> 18:21.683 Do not worry. I will let you keep your books... in the cloakroom.
- 18:21.683 --> 18:25.687 Oh! Which, I imagine, will be empty, as who will want to visit either of you?
- 18:25.687 --> 18:30.109 Neither of you will be inheriting anything if you do not go home and get to work.
- 18:30.109 --> 18:34.363 Can we not come over for pudding first? Your cook is so much better than ours.
- 18:34.363 --> 18:37.533 Well, that's your fault for marrying men without title. Go!
- 18:47.167 --> 18:49.419 Let us hope they take their time.
- 18:54.758 --> 18:58.428 I take comfort in knowing that you will always be here to take care of me.
- 19:35.632 --> 19:38.218 I do not wish to see a citrus color ever again.
- 19:38.844 --> 19:40.637 Sour colors, indeed.
- 19:40.637 --> 19:44.391 But what has brought about this sudden desire for change?
- 19:44.933 --> 19:46.810 I cannot live at home any longer.
- 19:46.810 --> 19:50.314 It's been hard enough living under my mother's rules. But my sisters...
- 19:51.440 --> 19:53.442 To live at the whim of either the most cruel
- 19:53.442 --> 19:55.485 or the most simple person I know...
- 19:57.905 --> 20:00.032 I must take a husband before that happens.
- 20:00.574 --> 20:01.450 It is time.
- 20:02.284 --> 20:03.202 I see.
- 20:03.994 --> 20:07.998 And does my lady have a certain suitor in mind?
- 20:12.044 --> 20:13.503 I should like to be sensible.
- 20:14.171 --> 20:15.172 Someone kind,
- 20:15.756 --> 20:18.675 who allows me my privacy, for obvious reasons.
- 20:19.885 --> 20:22.387 Then a new look is just the thing.
- 20:24.640 --> 20:27.809 Perhaps something like what they are wearing in Paris?
- 20:34.149 --> 20:37.069 - I love it, brother. Where is it from? - A trader in Marseille.
- 20:37.069 --> 20:38.528 My perfume is from Paris?
- 20:38.528 --> 20:41.365 Where are my handsome playing cards from? Is this writing Spanish?
- 20:41.365 --> 20:45.118 - You visited France <i>and</i> Spain? - My sheet music is Italian.
- 20:45.118 --> 20:47.496 Exactly how many cities did you visit in four months?
- 20:47.496 --> 20:49.373 I lost count, in truth.
- 20:49.373 --> 20:52.876 No. Not in here. Outside, where our mother can't see.
- 21:00.050 --> 21:01.551 Francesca, where is your sister?
- 21:03.512 --> 21:06.223 Eloise! Time for the modiste.
- 21:07.349 --> 21:09.017 Will this family ever be on time?
- 21:09.017 --> 21:10.894 A gift for you, Mother.
- 21:12.562 --> 21:13.397 Thank you.
- 21:18.527 --> 21:19.987 It is lovely.
- 21:20.654 --> 21:21.780 Truly.
- 21:25.200 --> 21:27.536 Oh, my. We really are late.
- 21:27.536 --> 21:28.495 Francesca.
- 21:28.495 --> 21:29.663 Eloise!
- 21:36.920 --> 21:39.798 Eloise. Surely you are not eager to hasten to the modiste?
- 21:39.798 --> 21:41.591 I've something for you.
- 21:41.591 --> 21:43.844 - Ah! Here it is. - It is a book.
- 21:43.844 --> 21:46.763 - A rare Bavarian text on the rights-- - I am reading something.
- 21:46.763 --> 21:48.974 - It is called <i>Emma.</i> - A novel?
- 21:48.974 --> 21:51.226 You have never been one for silly romances.
- 21:52.227 --> 21:54.021 Perhaps my tastes have changed.
- 21:54.730 --> 21:57.858 The writings I read before of women making their way outside society,
- 21:57.858 --> 21:59.151 those were the romances.
- 21:59.151 --> 22:02.779 This book has humor and truth... the pains of friendship.
- 22:02.779 --> 22:04.573 It is altogether more probable.
- 22:04.573 --> 22:07.826 And I take it your taste in friendship has changed as well?
- 22:08.952 --> 22:10.829 Cressida surprised me this summer.
- 22:10.829 --> 22:13.248 She showed me kindness in the country when no one else would.
- 22:13.248 --> 22:14.583 And what of Penelope?
- 22:16.209 --> 22:17.836 We have simply grown apart.
- 22:18.420 --> 22:20.922 Lady Whistledown nearly ruined me last season.
- 22:21.506 --> 22:25.344 I lost the battle, and I have no appetite for the war. I've joined the winning side.
- 22:25.344 --> 22:26.928 Not unlike you, I take it?
- 22:28.263 --> 22:30.140 Or is this truly the new you?
- 22:30.140 --> 22:31.099 Hmm.
- 22:31.099 --> 22:32.893 A man cannot tell his secrets.
- 22:32.893 --> 22:34.144 Mmm...
- 22:34.144 --> 22:35.270 Must be lonely.
- 23:01.671 --> 23:03.882 Could you please meet me in the carriage, Rae?
- 23:14.434 --> 23:15.644 I've been hoping we would meet.
- 23:16.603 --> 23:20.190 Did not seem so when you were hiding away in the countryside this summer.
- 23:20.857 --> 23:23.402 I avoided society because I did not know if you'd want to see me.
- 23:24.403 --> 23:26.988 And because you were worried I might reveal your secret.
- 23:27.614 --> 23:29.032 I do appreciate you keeping it.
- 23:30.826 --> 23:33.370 Eloise, I am so sorry about everything.
- 23:33.370 --> 23:37.207 For what you did, or because I discovered it was you who wrote such damning things?
- 23:37.999 --> 23:40.127 You may not understand, but I was trying to protect--
- 23:40.127 --> 23:42.254 No, I do not need your explanations.
- 23:42.254 --> 23:46.466 I have kept your secret exactly because I do not wish to keep revisiting the past.
- 23:47.843 --> 23:50.095 Now you have your life, and I have mine.
- 23:50.095 --> 23:51.304 With Cressida?
- 23:51.304 --> 23:53.974 Are you really friends with her?
- 23:54.558 --> 23:56.309 I wish you very well, Penelope.
- 24:01.106 --> 24:02.274 Your Madeira, sir.
- 24:02.274 --> 24:05.694 I am not one to complain about a mid-afternoon tipple,
- 24:05.694 --> 24:07.154 but what's the occasion?
- 24:07.154 --> 24:10.323 To thank you for taking care of the estate while I was on honeymoon.
- 24:10.323 --> 24:12.659 I was surprised to see every "t" crossed and "i" dotted.
- 24:12.659 --> 24:15.620 Well, I do not know whether to be moved or offended.
- 24:15.620 --> 24:16.830 Perhaps both?
- 24:17.789 --> 24:20.083 In truth, I enjoyed having a purpose.
- 24:20.083 --> 24:24.004 Whereas now that you're back, I'm not certain what I'm supposed to do.
- 24:24.004 --> 24:26.548 I'm certain Mother has a list of ladies she could offer you.
- 24:26.548 --> 24:29.134 Brother, please take some of his attention.
- 24:29.134 --> 24:33.597 And you, I invited here to congratulate on your many new admirers.
- 24:33.597 --> 24:35.599 I'm not certain that should cheer me.
- 24:35.599 --> 24:38.018 Bridgertons, my apologies for the wait.
- 24:38.018 --> 24:40.729 Business is good. We are glad to see it.
- 24:40.729 --> 24:43.064 - Will you join us for one? - Pardon me. Um...
- 24:43.064 --> 24:45.108 Wife business comes first.
- 24:47.736 --> 24:49.821 Mr. Dundas is here to see us, Will.
- 24:50.363 --> 24:52.908 Mr. Dundas. Can I offer you a drink?
- 24:52.908 --> 24:55.535 No. No, thank you.
- 24:55.535 --> 24:58.121 Ah. I shall be quick. And now that I have you both.
- 24:58.705 --> 25:02.584 Are you aware, Mrs. Mondrich, of your great-aunt, Lady Kent?
- 25:03.668 --> 25:04.794 Kent, yes.
- 25:04.794 --> 25:08.423 We met once in my youth. A very cold lady.
- 25:08.423 --> 25:10.967 She is colder now, I am afraid.
- 25:12.302 --> 25:13.136 Oh, she's died?
- 25:16.431 --> 25:17.766 Has she left us something?
- 25:17.766 --> 25:19.434 She has not left you something.
- 25:19.434 --> 25:22.354 She has left your son Nicholas everything.
- 25:23.271 --> 25:26.399 And while you have several cousins more closely related to her,
- 25:26.399 --> 25:28.360 none have male children.
- 25:28.902 --> 25:33.448 As such, Nicholas shall be the next Baron of Kent.
- 25:41.248 --> 25:43.750 Perhaps <i>we</i> might need drinks.
- 26:36.094 --> 26:38.054 Do not run. She will hear you.
- 26:39.347 --> 26:41.182 Ignore them. - I cannot.
- 26:41.182 --> 26:43.560 Go away! She will hear you. - Trust me.
- 26:43.560 --> 26:46.938 What's happening there cannot be as important as what's happening down here.
- 26:48.898 --> 26:50.400 Making an heir.
- 26:52.027 --> 26:53.361 You do know
- 26:53.361 --> 26:57.157 that what we are doing is not how one makes an heir?
- 26:58.158 --> 26:59.409 We have to start somewhere.
- 26:59.409 --> 27:02.454 It is my first week as viscountess in my new home.
- 27:02.454 --> 27:06.374 Tonight is Lady Danbury's ball. I must make a good impression.
- 27:34.027 --> 27:36.404 I should like to try something a little different tonight.
- 28:42.804 --> 28:43.930 Ah...
- 28:43.930 --> 28:47.100 Oh, Lady Danbury, you have outdone yourself once again.
- 28:47.100 --> 28:51.187 As you know, the first ball is no small thing.
- 28:51.187 --> 28:52.772 I do not take it lightly.
- 28:59.279 --> 29:01.865 I wonder what Whistledown will write about next issue.
- 29:01.865 --> 29:04.159 The season is off to quite a dull start.
- 29:04.909 --> 29:07.454 I am sure she will find something. Or make something up.
- 29:07.454 --> 29:10.582 Pardon me, miss. We failed to collect your cloak.
- 29:11.541 --> 29:12.500 Yes, of course.
- 29:19.382 --> 29:21.634 I do not think that will be necessary.
- 29:27.724 --> 29:29.309 Is everyone staring at us?
- 29:29.309 --> 29:32.437 Jealousy, my love, that you are now mine.
- 29:38.485 --> 29:40.570 It is not us they stare at.
- 29:43.865 --> 29:46.201 She spends my fortune before I can claim it!
- 29:46.201 --> 29:47.827 That is her intention.
- 29:47.827 --> 29:50.038 If she wants to wear such a melancholy color,
- 29:50.038 --> 29:51.372 that is her prerogative.
- 29:59.506 --> 30:02.383 I told the contessa that, in my homeland, we do not--
- 30:38.127 --> 30:40.922 Miss Featherington. A pleasure to see you.
- 30:40.922 --> 30:42.423 What a striking gown you have on.
- 30:43.675 --> 30:44.759 You as well, my lord.
- 30:46.010 --> 30:46.845 Uh...
- 30:46.845 --> 30:49.472 Not the gown part, obviously. The first part.
- 30:49.472 --> 30:52.600 It is a pleasure to see you all in your proper evening dress,
- 30:52.600 --> 30:55.019 which is not at all gown-like.
- 31:01.025 --> 31:02.944 You genuinely enjoy embroidery?
- 31:02.944 --> 31:06.364 Of course I do. There is simply so much one can do with it.
- 31:07.448 --> 31:08.449 For example?
- 31:08.449 --> 31:09.784 Since you have asked,
- 31:10.577 --> 31:12.870 the stem stitch, tried and true.
- 31:13.496 --> 31:16.291 The straight stitch, running stitch, chain stitch.
- 31:16.291 --> 31:18.626 The French knot, if one was feeling bold.
- 31:18.626 --> 31:20.670 Oh, yes!
- 31:20.670 --> 31:23.673 I like to read very much. Perhaps too much.
- 31:23.673 --> 31:26.342 My mama is always telling me put my books down.
- 31:26.342 --> 31:29.470 Not that there is anything wrong with reading, of course.
- 31:29.470 --> 31:32.515 I'm not sure of her reasoning. Do you all like to read?
- 31:32.515 --> 31:35.018 The feather stitch, the fly stitch.
- 31:35.602 --> 31:38.104 Ooh! The detached chain stitch.
- 31:39.022 --> 31:41.024 Do you not have a favorite, Miss Eloise?
- 31:41.649 --> 31:45.236 Wha-- The... uh, shift stitch.
- 31:46.446 --> 31:47.447 I'm not familiar.
- 31:47.447 --> 31:51.826 It's the one that shifts this conversation perhaps to something besides embroidery.
- 31:53.703 --> 31:54.787 Oh!
- 31:54.787 --> 31:55.788 A jest.
- 31:56.623 --> 31:57.540 How clever.
- 32:06.466 --> 32:08.343 - Perhaps-- - I-- Oh...
- 32:08.343 --> 32:11.846 Uh, forgive me. Uh... Please. You were saying, Lord Barnell?
- 32:11.846 --> 32:15.266 I was going to say perhaps we should take our leave,
- 32:15.266 --> 32:18.811 lest we remain too long and give Lady Whistledown something to write about.
- 32:33.618 --> 32:35.828 And that one. Who is she?
- 32:36.329 --> 32:39.749 That, Your Majesty, is Miss Penelope Featherington.
- 32:39.749 --> 32:41.709 This is her third season out.
- 32:41.709 --> 32:44.003 But there are several impressive new contenders
- 32:44.003 --> 32:47.006 for Your Majesty's favor, should you care to grace them with such.
- 32:47.006 --> 32:49.592 And why should I grace them with anything?
- 32:49.592 --> 32:52.387 Well, there is some anxiety amongst the mamas
- 32:52.387 --> 32:55.139 that you have not yet selected a diamond.
- 32:55.139 --> 32:59.060 A diamond is precious precisely because it is rare.
- 32:59.060 --> 33:00.520 I throw one diamond ball,
- 33:00.520 --> 33:04.107 and anxious mamas expect a diamond every year. Hmm.
- 33:04.107 --> 33:07.902 I threw a zebra ball once. Do they expect a new zebra each year?
- 33:07.902 --> 33:10.446 Mmm... Well, you are right.
- 33:10.446 --> 33:13.282 You have only named the diamond once.
- 33:13.282 --> 33:16.577 I believe it was Lady Whistledown
- 33:16.577 --> 33:18.871 who named the diamond the first year.
- 33:18.871 --> 33:21.624 How right she was about the duchess.
- 33:23.668 --> 33:24.669 Mmm.
- 33:26.879 --> 33:30.133 Miss Francesca, tell us, what are your hobbies?
- 33:30.883 --> 33:32.343 I play the pianoforte.
- 33:32.343 --> 33:34.178 That is magnificent.
- 33:35.304 --> 33:37.515 And your other interests?
- 33:37.515 --> 33:40.685 Pianoforte does take up a great deal of my time.
- 33:41.394 --> 33:45.023 I think what Lord Fife means to say is, who are you besides your hobbies?
- 33:45.023 --> 33:47.608 Yes. What do you desire?
- 33:48.192 --> 33:49.736 What do you despise?
- 33:49.736 --> 33:51.487 What makes you, uh, tick?
- 33:53.322 --> 33:54.157 I...
- 33:55.241 --> 33:57.744 I think my brother needs me.
- 33:57.744 --> 33:59.829 If you would excuse me one moment.
- 34:03.624 --> 34:06.294 Brother, I should like a moment alone.
- 34:08.337 --> 34:09.172 Of course.
- 34:21.934 --> 34:24.312 Oh, dear. Is Francesca quite well?
- 34:24.312 --> 34:27.231 She simply needed a moment, as do I.
- 34:27.231 --> 34:31.027 And I should like to use that moment to dance with my beautiful wife.
- 34:31.027 --> 34:32.779 Please enjoy yourselves.
- 34:32.779 --> 34:35.656 Interference.
- 35:04.185 --> 35:05.019 Penelope.
- 35:15.404 --> 35:17.073 You ought to take to the floor.
- 35:17.073 --> 35:18.241 Ought I?
- 35:18.866 --> 35:21.702 Once one finds oneself on the wall, it is difficult to come off it.
- 35:22.453 --> 35:23.663 No matter what one does.
- 35:24.455 --> 35:27.166 At least the wall is not asking what makes me tick.
- 35:28.125 --> 35:30.878 Did you not enjoy conversing with those gentlemen?
- 35:30.878 --> 35:32.380 I expected conversation.
- 35:32.380 --> 35:34.298 I did not expect to be inspected
- 35:34.298 --> 35:38.386 as if I were some rare insect writhing under a microscope.
- 35:39.428 --> 35:41.389 You do not much like attracting notice, do you?
- 35:42.223 --> 35:44.100 Not really. No.
- 35:44.684 --> 35:46.310 Perhaps that does make you rare.
- 35:46.310 --> 35:49.480 It seems as though every Bridgerton was born to attract notice
- 35:49.981 --> 35:51.107 in one way or another.
- 35:53.901 --> 35:56.863 I am... different from my siblings as well.
- 35:58.990 --> 36:00.950 It can be difficult, can it not?
- 36:07.123 --> 36:09.417 But they are wonderful, each of them.
- 36:11.836 --> 36:13.754 I know. You are lucky for that.
- 36:16.132 --> 36:18.342 And you are lucky to have so much notice.
- 36:19.218 --> 36:20.553 Even if it is trying.
- 36:21.804 --> 36:24.891 For some of us, notice is very slight.
- 36:26.767 --> 36:28.936 Miss Francesca. A dance?
- 36:32.398 --> 36:33.608 Of course, my lord.
- 36:36.903 --> 36:39.071 You really ought to take to the floor again.
- 36:39.614 --> 36:42.283 It's difficult to come off the wall once you are on it.
- 37:15.733 --> 37:18.110 Are you well, Miss Featherington?
- 37:18.110 --> 37:20.404 Yes. Forgive me. Cold headache.
- 37:20.404 --> 37:21.572 From the ice cream
- 37:21.572 --> 37:24.283 or the very congenial-looking miss with the sneer?
- 37:25.743 --> 37:29.830 Do not worry. I've been the recipient of an untold number of withering looks.
- 37:29.830 --> 37:31.123 Hers was mediocre at best.
- 37:33.876 --> 37:36.295 Um, Lord Debling, is it not?
- 37:37.421 --> 37:41.259 And why do I have the feeling that you, in turn, know how to make one wither
- 37:41.259 --> 37:42.718 if you so choose?
- 37:44.387 --> 37:45.304 Me?
- 37:47.431 --> 37:48.975 Well, I-- I suppose--
- 37:50.393 --> 37:51.936 I do not.
- 37:53.646 --> 37:56.023 Uh...
- 37:56.857 --> 37:58.025 Excuse me. I--
- 37:59.068 --> 38:00.194 Ooh!
- 38:00.194 --> 38:02.363 How mortifying! I am so clumsy.
- 38:02.363 --> 38:03.864 My deepest apologies.
- 38:03.864 --> 38:06.575 Heavens. Well, accidents will happen.
- 38:06.575 --> 38:09.245 Miss Featherington, I shall find a maid to help you.
- 38:09.829 --> 38:11.247 It'd be most appreciated.
- 38:11.831 --> 38:12.665 Miss Cowper.
- 38:14.292 --> 38:16.919 It is a pity you did not choose something sturdier.
- 38:16.919 --> 38:19.380 Perhaps if you had not bought such cheap fabric,
- 38:19.380 --> 38:21.549 it would not have ripped.
- 38:29.557 --> 38:31.308 Pen, I am-- I'm so sorry.
- 38:32.852 --> 38:35.438 There were perhaps some late nights.
- 38:36.772 --> 38:39.525 Pen? She did not look well, did she?
- 38:39.525 --> 38:41.944 The Featherington girl? Why concern yourself with her?
- 38:41.944 --> 38:43.946 I want to know what happened on these late nights.
- 38:43.946 --> 38:47.575 Whatever happened to you, I must say, you are much more fun this season.
- 38:48.326 --> 38:49.493 Do excuse me, just a moment.
- 38:56.375 --> 38:59.420 Right away, miss. The carriage for Miss Featherington!
- 39:00.004 --> 39:00.880 Aye.
- 39:07.595 --> 39:08.846 - Pen. - Colin.
- 39:09.764 --> 39:11.057 What are you doing out here?
- 39:11.057 --> 39:13.476 I am just... getting some fresh air.
- 39:14.310 --> 39:18.230 Why are you leaving so soon? Especially in such a charming dress.
- 39:18.230 --> 39:20.608 - Do not mock me, please. - Mock you?
- 39:20.608 --> 39:23.402 I assure you I am quite serious. The color rather suits you.
- 39:25.696 --> 39:26.989 Good night, Mr. Bridgerton.
- 39:26.989 --> 39:29.492 - Do you not need a chaperone? - Spinsters don't need chaperones.
- 39:29.492 --> 39:31.327 You are not a spinster.
- 39:31.327 --> 39:33.913 I am in my third year on the marriage mart, with no prospects.
- 39:33.913 --> 39:35.247 What would you call that?
- 39:37.208 --> 39:40.628 Is something wrong, Pen? Between us, I mean.
- 39:40.628 --> 39:43.255 I wrote to you this summer, as I always do.
- 39:43.255 --> 39:46.300 And... well, you did not respond. Admittedly, very few did. But...
- 39:46.300 --> 39:48.511 If you are going to make me say it out loud,
- 39:49.303 --> 39:50.221 I miss you.
- 39:51.472 --> 39:52.306 You miss me?
- 39:53.891 --> 39:56.435 You miss me, but you'd never court me. Is that correct?
- 39:57.770 --> 39:58.771 Pen, I--
- 39:58.771 --> 40:02.108 I overheard you... at my mama's ball last season,
- 40:02.108 --> 40:05.403 telling everyone how you would never court Penelope Featherington.
- 40:08.989 --> 40:10.741 Perhaps we should talk somewhere more private?
- 40:10.741 --> 40:12.493 Because I embarrass you?
- 40:12.493 --> 40:14.328 Of course you would never court me.
- 40:14.912 --> 40:17.998 I am the laughingstock of the ton, even when I change my entire wardrobe.
- 40:19.250 --> 40:22.086 It never occurred to me that you, of all people, could be so cruel.
- 41:03.502 --> 41:07.339 There is, um, a gentleman here to see you, ma'am.
- 41:09.842 --> 41:12.887 Lady Featherington, I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
- 41:12.887 --> 41:14.513 Good day, Mr...
- 41:14.513 --> 41:16.849 Walter Dundas, Esquire.
- 41:16.849 --> 41:19.185 I work for the Crown, responsible for ensuring
- 41:19.185 --> 41:22.605 the lines of succession run smoothly within our great families.
- 41:23.189 --> 41:24.023 I see.
- 41:24.565 --> 41:27.568 And, uh, to what do we owe the visit?
- 41:27.568 --> 41:30.488 I have been made aware that your cousin Jack Featherington
- 41:30.488 --> 41:32.656 recently left town with your entire fortune.
- 41:32.656 --> 41:35.409 Yes, sir. My cousin, the swindler.
- 41:35.409 --> 41:37.328 That man was a terrible liar.
- 41:37.912 --> 41:38.746 Hmm.
- 41:38.746 --> 41:42.208 I have in my possession a document he signed granting the estate
- 41:42.208 --> 41:45.628 to one of your daughters once she produces a male heir.
- 41:46.587 --> 41:48.088 Ah, yes, that document.
- 41:48.923 --> 41:50.591 That document is valid.
- 41:50.591 --> 41:52.676 Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
- 41:54.053 --> 41:57.848 It is a rather unusual situation. Are any of your daughters with child?
- 41:57.848 --> 42:00.643 Oh, I do hope to receive the news any day now.
- 42:02.686 --> 42:03.562 I see.
- 42:03.562 --> 42:07.525 Currently, the Crown is unaware of another living male heir.
- 42:07.525 --> 42:11.529 It would be quite a task transferring the estate to another family.
- 42:13.781 --> 42:17.284 A great deal of upheaval for the Featherington tenants and society,
- 42:17.284 --> 42:18.994 and, frankly, me.
- 42:18.994 --> 42:23.207 But should I find that this rather convenient document is, in fact, forged
- 42:23.207 --> 42:25.876 before one of your girls has an heir,
- 42:25.876 --> 42:28.212 the upheaval may indeed be necessary.
- 42:30.548 --> 42:31.382 Well, then,
- 42:32.049 --> 42:35.052 it is a good thing the document is not forged,
- 42:35.052 --> 42:37.555 and that my girls do so love their husbands.
- 42:38.556 --> 42:40.307 A very good thing indeed.
- 42:40.307 --> 42:43.018 I shall pay another visit to you very soon.
- 42:45.187 --> 42:46.230 Mmm.
- 42:46.230 --> 42:48.023 Such a beautiful home.
- 42:50.234 --> 42:51.068 Good day.
- 43:06.500 --> 43:09.253 Thankfully, I do not have much competition this season.
- 43:09.753 --> 43:13.048 Aside from Francesca, who stirred a good deal of interest, I suppose.
- 43:13.549 --> 43:17.428 But I do believe my handling of Penelope was a clear message. Would you agree?
- 43:17.428 --> 43:20.598 I believe the message was received by all with that particular trick.
- 43:20.598 --> 43:21.515 You disapprove?
- 43:22.808 --> 43:27.021 - I thought we did not like Penelope. - What you did was cruel and unnecessary.
- 43:29.231 --> 43:33.777 You often talk of how difficult it has been for you to find a husband.
- 43:35.237 --> 43:39.950 But do you not think it might be easier if you displayed a bit less... frankness?
- 43:43.537 --> 43:45.539 It has been difficult to find a husband.
- 43:47.583 --> 43:50.044 It has been more difficult still to find a friend.
- 43:51.837 --> 43:53.797 I've not had many since my debut.
- 43:54.757 --> 43:55.799 Not real ones.
- 43:57.092 --> 43:58.260 I did as a girl.
- 43:59.386 --> 44:02.139 But the season has a way of coming between young ladies,
- 44:02.806 --> 44:04.600 pitting us against one another.
- 44:06.935 --> 44:10.189 I suppose I've fallen prey to it... once
- 44:10.689 --> 44:11.982 or twice.
- 44:11.982 --> 44:13.859 Or thrice.
- 44:17.154 --> 44:18.238 But you are right.
- 44:19.656 --> 44:22.618 Society does not seek to forge affections amongst us. I--
- 44:23.911 --> 44:25.871 I thought I was the only one who noticed.
- 44:27.289 --> 44:29.833 I did try to befriend you in your first season out.
- 44:30.667 --> 44:32.211 But you rejected my suit.
- 44:32.920 --> 44:34.630 I actually do not blame you.
- 44:35.923 --> 44:37.466 I have not always been kind.
- 44:40.094 --> 44:42.554 But whatever Penelope did to lose your friendship...
- 44:44.556 --> 44:45.557 you are right.
- 44:46.225 --> 44:48.143 She is undeserving of my attention.
- 44:48.894 --> 44:49.937 And of yours.
- 44:52.606 --> 44:56.443 Let us think only of ourselves. We are far more interesting.
- 44:58.070 --> 44:59.571 I'm inclined to agree with you.
- 45:18.882 --> 45:19.758 You are back.
- 45:22.803 --> 45:24.388 How were your meetings?
- 45:24.388 --> 45:26.265 Not nearly as good as our bed.
- 45:27.683 --> 45:29.184 Shall we return to it?
- 45:29.184 --> 45:30.102 Hmm...
- 45:32.396 --> 45:33.689 Mmm...
- 45:34.273 --> 45:36.775 There is a matter I must discuss with you first.
- 45:40.362 --> 45:41.363 Your mother.
- 45:41.363 --> 45:42.322 I know.
- 45:43.949 --> 45:46.785 I know. She's doing everything she can to delay her move.
- 45:46.785 --> 45:49.580 - I will speak with her today. - What if you did not?
- 45:50.831 --> 45:53.500 Your mother enjoys being viscountess so much,
- 45:54.293 --> 45:56.003 while I have already spent years
- 45:56.003 --> 45:58.797 taking care of Edwina and running the Sharma household.
- 45:59.673 --> 46:02.468 And I've never seen you happier than when you were away
- 46:02.468 --> 46:04.344 from the duty of running this place.
- 46:06.096 --> 46:08.515 So why not put ourselves first for once
- 46:09.641 --> 46:10.976 and extend the honeymoon?
- 46:12.603 --> 46:13.729 Are you quite sure?
- 46:14.938 --> 46:19.318 We have our lives to be viscount and viscountess.
- 46:22.905 --> 46:26.742 For now, the only duty that interests me is making an heir or two.
- 46:26.742 --> 46:27.910 Ah...
- 46:28.410 --> 46:32.372 - Let your mother stay a little longer. - I do not want to speak...
- 46:33.624 --> 46:35.709 of my mother a moment longer.
- 46:48.013 --> 46:49.014 My dear.
- 46:51.058 --> 46:54.269 Tell me, how was last night? Mm?
- 46:54.853 --> 46:56.605 Did you enjoy your first ball?
- 46:57.523 --> 46:59.691 It was... satisfactory.
- 47:07.241 --> 47:08.158 My dear,
- 47:08.700 --> 47:11.995 think of the balls as playing a duet.
- 47:13.205 --> 47:16.416 When you play with another person, there is a certain vulnerability
- 47:16.416 --> 47:19.461 which can be quite frightening,
- 47:19.461 --> 47:21.797 I would imagine. But it is worth it
- 47:22.506 --> 47:25.050 once you find that person with whom you
- 47:25.717 --> 47:27.636 make an unexpected harmony.
- 47:27.636 --> 47:29.721 I'm not frightened of the balls, Mama.
- 47:30.347 --> 47:31.682 Or of finding a match.
- 47:32.641 --> 47:34.017 What you and Father,
- 47:34.017 --> 47:36.436 and Daphne and Anthony all have is enviable,
- 47:36.436 --> 47:38.897 but it is also rare.
- 47:38.897 --> 47:41.191 And I am not certain I need to feel
- 47:41.191 --> 47:45.529 butterflies or... unexpected harmony, per your metaphor.
- 47:45.529 --> 47:49.283 But you will at least be open if love comes your way.
- 47:50.409 --> 47:51.243 Yes?
- 47:52.286 --> 47:53.495 Let us see what happens.
- 47:53.495 --> 47:56.748 Ma'am? The viscountess is looking for you.
- 48:06.592 --> 48:08.093 You have a visitor, miss.
- 48:12.639 --> 48:13.891 I'm sorry for intruding.
- 48:15.934 --> 48:16.852 It's all right.
- 48:21.732 --> 48:24.610 And I am very sorry for my callous comment here last year.
- 48:25.319 --> 48:28.780 - It pains me to see you upset. - Then perhaps you should not have come.
- 48:30.866 --> 48:32.951 I am not the man I was last season.
- 48:34.036 --> 48:36.038 And I'm most certainly not ashamed of you.
- 48:36.038 --> 48:37.581 The opposite is true, in fact.
- 48:37.581 --> 48:41.710 I seek you out at every social assembly because I know you will lift my spirits
- 48:41.710 --> 48:44.504 and make me see the world in ways I could not have imagined.
- 48:45.172 --> 48:48.300 You are clever and warm and...
- 48:50.135 --> 48:52.262 I am proud to call you my very good friend.
- 48:52.846 --> 48:53.972 It has been vexing...
- 48:55.766 --> 48:58.602 watching you walk back into society with such ease.
- 48:59.353 --> 49:03.398 When every year, I pray I might finally feel that way amidst the marriage mart,
- 49:03.398 --> 49:05.317 and that comfort never materializes.
- 49:06.234 --> 49:08.654 Well, if a husband is what you seek,
- 49:08.654 --> 49:11.323 then... let me help you.
- 49:11.323 --> 49:12.783 Help me how?
- 49:12.783 --> 49:15.369 I was in 17 cities this summer,
- 49:15.369 --> 49:19.414 and what I have learned is that charm can be taught.
- 49:19.414 --> 49:22.960 Colin, I cannot have you with me, whispering into my ear in every ballroom.
- 49:22.960 --> 49:24.211 You will not need that.
- 49:24.711 --> 49:25.879 We will have lessons.
- 49:25.879 --> 49:28.173 And you will quickly master them, I am certain.
- 49:31.093 --> 49:34.763 There is nothing more I want than to earn back the favor of the one person
- 49:34.763 --> 49:39.142 who has always truly made me feel... appreciated.
- 49:45.107 --> 49:46.066 What do you say?
- 49:46.066 --> 49:47.818 You want me to shake your hand?
- 49:47.818 --> 49:49.611 It is perhaps unusual,
- 49:49.611 --> 49:52.280 but... are we not friends?
- 50:04.960 --> 50:05.794 Friends.
- 50:08.296 --> 50:10.048 I shall see you soon.
- 50:32.112 --> 50:33.530 Is that Whistledown?
- 50:34.197 --> 50:36.158 <i>Dearest Gentle Reader,</i>
- 50:36.158 --> 50:38.660 <i>when the tide of change turns,</i>
- 50:38.660 --> 50:42.247 <i>it can be sudden, fierce, and deadly.</i>
- 50:42.247 --> 50:45.459 <i>Especially for the unprepared.</i>
- 50:48.670 --> 50:50.964 <i>It seems to this author</i>
- 50:50.964 --> 50:54.801 <i>that our bon ton is moving with the changing tide,</i>
- 50:54.801 --> 50:56.303 <i>to be sure.</i>
- 50:57.137 --> 50:58.055 Lord Kent.
- 51:00.265 --> 51:01.850 Welcome to your new home.
- 51:09.399 --> 51:13.445 <i>While others cling firmly to that which they already know.</i>
- 51:18.158 --> 51:21.244 <i>None more so than our queen,</i>
- 51:21.244 --> 51:24.080 <i>who has still yet to choose a diamond.</i>
- 51:24.080 --> 51:27.542 <i>This author wonders if her hesitancy</i>
- 51:27.542 --> 51:31.087 <i>is a symptom of fortitude or fear.</i>
- 51:31.671 --> 51:33.131 <i>If it is the latter,</i>
- 51:33.131 --> 51:36.468 <i>pride in past achievements will not benefit her,</i>
- 51:37.052 --> 51:40.764 <i>as our debutantes are ready to play this season.</i>
- 51:40.764 --> 51:42.974 <i>Your serve, Your Majesty.</i>
- 51:46.561 --> 51:49.940 It seems Lady Whistledown is playing games again.
- 51:50.690 --> 51:51.650 Ah.
- 51:52.609 --> 51:54.528 Are you going to play along, Your Majesty?
- 51:55.403 --> 51:56.738 I do love a game.
- 51:58.365 --> 52:00.867 Especially when I am so often the victor.
- 52:06.623 --> 52:08.667 Whistledown has come early.
- 52:08.667 --> 52:10.710 I am reading it. Are you mad?
- 52:10.710 --> 52:13.880 You of all people would be quite interested in today's issue, Penelope.
- 52:13.880 --> 52:17.384 Lady Whistledown has a good deal to say about your precious Bridgertons.
- 52:18.051 --> 52:19.678 Colin, in fact.
- 52:20.887 --> 52:23.515 Whatever she's said about him, she is wrong.
- 52:23.515 --> 52:28.520 <i>Dare I say, this author is ready to play as well.</i>
- 52:28.520 --> 52:31.064 <i>I do not fear change.</i>
- 52:31.064 --> 52:32.649 <i>I embrace it.</i>
- 52:33.400 --> 52:35.026 <i>And then there are some</i>
- 52:35.026 --> 52:38.572 <i>who take the embrace of change a step too far.</i>
- 52:38.572 --> 52:40.031 Good afternoon, sister.
- 52:40.740 --> 52:41.867 Brother! Afternoon.
- 52:41.867 --> 52:43.326 Where were you?
- 52:43.326 --> 52:45.078 Nowhere. What are you reading?
- 52:45.078 --> 52:45.996 Nothing.
- 52:52.752 --> 52:53.628 Whistledown.
- 52:54.921 --> 52:56.214 You are mentioned.
- 53:00.343 --> 53:02.554 <i>And then there are some</i>
- 53:02.554 --> 53:05.640 <i>who take the embrace of change a step too far,</i>
- 53:06.433 --> 53:08.393 <i>as with Mr. Colin Bridgerton,</i>
- 53:08.393 --> 53:12.355 <i>who seems to have embraced a new personality entirely.</i>
- 53:13.190 --> 53:14.524 <i>But one must wonder,</i>
- 53:14.524 --> 53:17.694 <i>is this new character the real him,</i>
- 53:17.694 --> 53:20.196 <i>or simply a ploy for attention?</i>
- 53:20.697 --> 53:24.201 <i>And does Mr. Bridgerton even know?</i>
- 53:29.039 --> 53:30.081 How are you?
- 53:31.082 --> 53:33.501 I do not care what Lady Whistledown writes about me.
- 53:33.501 --> 53:35.879 But ruining Miss Thompson... I mean, Lady Crane,
- 53:36.755 --> 53:39.090 and then nearly ruining you last season...
- 53:40.258 --> 53:42.260 I will never forgive her.
- 53:45.597 --> 53:46.431 Do you...
- 53:47.682 --> 53:49.309 have any idea who she might be?
- 53:49.309 --> 53:52.604 I do not. But trust me, if I ever find out,
- 53:52.604 --> 53:55.273 I will make sure it is her life that is ruined.

- 00:46.129 --> 00:48.882 <i>we have been apart for far too long.</i>
- 00:50.383 --> 00:53.386 <i>At last, London's fashionable set</i>
- 00:53.386 --> 00:54.929 <i>has made its return.</i>
- 00:54.929 --> 00:58.725 <i>And so too has this author.</i>
- 00:59.726 --> 01:01.019 It's good to be home.
- 01:02.937 --> 01:04.272 It certainly is.
- 01:04.272 --> 01:06.399 [Lady Whistledown] <i>As the season begins,</i>
- 01:06.399 --> 01:09.277 <i>the question on everyone's mind is,</i>
- 01:09.277 --> 01:12.864 <i>of course, which newly minted debutante</i>
- 01:12.864 --> 01:14.908 <i>will shine the brightest?</i>
- 01:14.908 --> 01:18.912 <i>The crop this year appears to be rather dazzling.</i>
- 01:18.912 --> 01:22.207 <i>There is the exquisite Miss Malhotra,</i>
- 01:22.207 --> 01:24.084 <i>said to be quite a catch.</i>
- 01:24.084 --> 01:26.252 <i>Miss Stowell is thought to be</i>
- 01:26.252 --> 01:28.713 <i>a most accomplished young lady.</i>
- 01:31.841 --> 01:34.344 <i>The mild-mannered Miss Hartigan</i>
- 01:34.344 --> 01:37.472 <i>will certainly appeal to genteel suitors.</i>
- 01:37.972 --> 01:43.561 <i>Miss Kenworthy is a welcome entry, brimming with confidence and charisma.</i>
- 01:44.062 --> 01:48.024 <i>And then there is Miss Barragan, who certainly stands out in a crowd.</i>
- 01:48.024 --> 01:49.901 [snorts] She wrote my name! [gasps]
- 01:49.901 --> 01:50.944 [chuckles quietly]
- 01:52.445 --> 01:54.656 It seems as though your business is thriving.
- 01:54.656 --> 01:55.990 As is yours.

- 02:06.584 --> 02:10.797 <i>there is another Bridgerton making her debut this year.</i>
- 02:11.381 --> 02:12.465 I cannot hear anything.
- 02:12.465 --> 02:14.717 Probably because she knows we are out here eavesdropping.
- 02:14.717 --> 02:17.303 - I am sure that she is well enough. - Oh, as you were last year?
- 02:17.303 --> 02:18.721 This is not last year.
- 02:19.264 --> 02:21.099 - Francesca is-- - Very quiet.
- 02:21.099 --> 02:24.811 Perhaps she has been stunned into silence by the beauty of that giant feather.
- 02:24.811 --> 02:26.062 I cannot wait to wear one.
- 02:26.062 --> 02:28.064 Perhaps she has swallowed that giant feather.
- 02:29.274 --> 02:32.235 - We are not ready to go? - Is there anything we can do to help?
- 02:32.235 --> 02:34.737 Would you mind asking whoever is playing downstairs
- 02:34.737 --> 02:36.656 to quieten down so I might hear?
- 02:36.656 --> 02:39.325 I can try, but is that not, in fact...

- 02:42.203 --> 02:44.622 Who else would be playing pianoforte in this house?

- 02:45.748 --> 02:46.875 [Violet] Francesca?
- 02:48.084 --> 02:50.253 Why, there you are. Dear.
- 02:52.672 --> 02:53.840 Francesca.
- 02:57.177 --> 02:59.679 - Francesca. - There's no need to shout.
- 02:59.679 --> 03:02.640 All those piano lessons in Bath have reaped their reward.
- 03:02.640 --> 03:04.225 - [chuckles] - You've gotten good.
- 03:04.225 --> 03:07.520 How did you get down here? I've been outside your door all morning.
- 03:07.520 --> 03:10.190 I woke up early. Got dressed. Took breakfast in the garden.
- 03:10.190 --> 03:12.191 Because it is just another day.
- 03:12.191 --> 03:13.109 Shall we go?
- 03:17.655 --> 03:19.490 Perhaps we do not need to worry so much.
- 03:22.285 --> 03:24.704 You do realize what tune she was playing just now, don't you?
- 03:24.704 --> 03:25.872 Mozart's "Funeral March."

- 06:11.496 --> 06:14.749 Upon your return last season, we heard all about your toil across the Mediterranean
- 06:14.749 --> 06:16.292 by the time we broke our first fast.
- 06:16.292 --> 06:21.422 Indeed. Under what foreign sun did you apparently get so sturdy?

- 06:27.387 --> 06:30.723 - What have you done with our brother? - This time away was exactly what I needed.
- 06:30.723 --> 06:33.893 It has given me some sense of proportion.
- 06:33.893 --> 06:34.811 Mmm.

- 08:05.359 --> 08:08.488 I suppose entering society means I might meet someone.

- 08:15.536 --> 08:18.456 No. I simply could use some peace.

- 09:51.632 --> 09:53.509 I thought our wedding was rather fine.
- 09:53.509 --> 09:56.554 Yes. They do say it is easier to impress older brides.
- 09:56.554 --> 09:59.724 If it were to please my bride, I would wed you a second time.
- 09:59.724 --> 10:03.352 A third. As many as it takes to make you happy.
- 10:03.352 --> 10:06.772 And spend our dear departed Aunt Petunia's money in the process, Mr. Dankworth?
- 10:06.772 --> 10:08.983 Thank goodness Aunt Petunia died.
- 10:08.983 --> 10:11.152 And just in time for our honeymoon.
- 10:11.152 --> 10:14.113 - I rather liked Aunt Petunia. - [Prudence scoffs] Of course <i>you</i> did.
- 10:14.113 --> 10:16.657 She was a tiresome spinster who always had her nose in a book.
- 10:16.657 --> 10:20.077 She was not tiresome. She just did not care for either of you.
- 10:20.077 --> 10:24.874 Enough. Today we return to society in good standing, our finances in order,
- 10:24.874 --> 10:27.585 and without any man telling us what to do.
- 10:27.585 --> 10:29.211 Let us enjoy this day.

- 10:40.848 --> 10:42.600 You always do, Varley.
- 10:42.600 --> 10:46.437 [clears throat] The Aunt Petunia story, no offense to the dead,
- 10:47.104 --> 10:50.024 but will anyone really believe that a spinster
- 10:50.024 --> 10:54.528 who never owned so much as a donkey cart would have a fortune to leave to you?
- 10:54.528 --> 10:57.865 [quietly] For heaven's sake. No one in London knows how she lived.
- 10:57.865 --> 11:02.495 For all they know, she could've been hiding jars of coin under her floorboards.
- 11:02.495 --> 11:05.206 The truth has a way of rearing its ugly head.
- 11:05.206 --> 11:06.957 But pay no heed to me.
- 11:07.458 --> 11:08.959 There you are.
- 11:08.959 --> 11:11.170 I take it you are finally done with daydreaming?
- 11:11.170 --> 11:13.422 I am. Shall we go?
- 11:17.009 --> 11:19.011 [jaunty classical music playing]
- 11:23.265 --> 11:24.975 [light chuckling]
- 11:25.810 --> 11:26.644 Oh!
- 11:30.231 --> 11:31.816 [Lady Livingston] Where is she?
- 11:31.816 --> 11:34.735 Not to pick a diamond at the presentation is one thing,
- 11:34.735 --> 11:38.322 but not to appear at an event arranged in her honor
- 11:38.322 --> 11:40.408 is another thing altogether.
- 11:40.408 --> 11:43.828 Did our girls this morning leave that much to be desired?
- 11:44.620 --> 11:48.124 They do seem rather... preoccupied.
- 11:48.999 --> 11:51.794 Do you find yourself back in town for any particular reason?
- 11:51.794 --> 11:54.839 In search of something? Or someone?
- 11:54.839 --> 11:57.508 If you're asking if I came back to take a wife this season,
- 11:57.508 --> 11:59.218 I'm afraid the answer may disappoint.
- 11:59.218 --> 12:01.762 Although, if there is one thing I learned on my travels,
- 12:01.762 --> 12:04.640 it is forever to expect the unexpected.
- 12:04.640 --> 12:06.225 [chuckling lightly]
- 12:20.489 --> 12:23.200 [laughter and indistinct chattering]
- 12:37.047 --> 12:38.257 [Cressida] Oh, look.
- 12:38.757 --> 12:42.052 If it isn't Penelope Featherington. Back in a dress the color of--
- 12:42.052 --> 12:43.762 - Cressida. - [Cressida] Eloise!
- 12:43.762 --> 12:47.016 - There you are. I've been looking for you. - [Eloise] And I for you.
- 12:47.016 --> 12:49.185 Shall we go and get some lemonade?
- 12:49.810 --> 12:52.480 Splendid idea. I am parched with thirst.
- 12:54.231 --> 12:56.692 Is it not congenial to be back from the country?
- 12:56.692 --> 12:59.153 All that draft and emptiness.
- 12:59.904 --> 13:02.114 You do know others call that "fresh air"?
- 13:02.114 --> 13:03.240 [Cressida] Of course.
- 13:03.240 --> 13:05.284 Befriending you there was a happy surprise.
- 13:05.284 --> 13:08.204 But ultimately, it is London where I am most at home.
- 13:08.204 --> 13:11.290 And the season will be all the better now I have you by my side.
- 13:12.583 --> 13:13.751 [Eloise] Of course.
- 13:17.213 --> 13:19.965 I've been dreaming of my future husband since I was a child.
- 13:20.758 --> 13:24.804 He should be handsome, romantic, intelligent.
- 13:24.804 --> 13:27.139 Do not forget well-bred and tall.
- 13:27.723 --> 13:31.101 I have always pictured a man who writes poetry. But above all else,
- 13:31.101 --> 13:34.063 it should be someone who gives me butterflies just by looking at him.
- 13:34.063 --> 13:35.356 [chuckles softly]
- 13:36.482 --> 13:37.983 And you, Miss Francesca?
- 13:38.692 --> 13:39.652 [clears throat]
- 13:40.778 --> 13:45.032 Someone... kind, I suppose.
- 13:45.658 --> 13:48.953 Well, that is plain. You do not want someone unkind.
- 13:49.829 --> 13:51.413 [chuckling] No. Of course not.
- 13:52.790 --> 13:54.416 [awkward chuckling]
- 13:58.921 --> 14:00.839 [Violet] One week returned from honeymoon,
- 14:00.839 --> 14:03.592 and already my son has left you to fend for yourself.
- 14:03.592 --> 14:04.843 [chuckles lightly]
- 14:04.843 --> 14:07.096 Our time away means Anthony's stack of paperwork
- 14:07.096 --> 14:08.722 has grown nearly to the ceiling.
- 14:09.348 --> 14:11.392 With luck, he'll be caught up by the first ball.
- 14:11.392 --> 14:15.312 Let us hope so. With two sisters out in society this season,
- 14:15.312 --> 14:17.064 the work has only just begun.
- 14:17.565 --> 14:20.442 She seems rather composed, does she not? Quite practical.
- 14:20.442 --> 14:23.988 She is, but practicality is quite the opposite of love.
- 14:24.488 --> 14:26.615 I am eager to see how she will fare.
- 14:28.826 --> 14:29.660 And Eloise?
- 14:31.912 --> 14:33.914 I do not understand this new friendship.
- 14:34.540 --> 14:35.457 [chuckles quietly]
- 14:35.457 --> 14:38.252 But I spent enough time last season trying to assist her
- 14:38.252 --> 14:40.880 until my assistance nearly drove her outside society.
- 14:40.880 --> 14:42.923 So I am not interfering.
- 14:42.923 --> 14:43.924 For now.
- 14:45.342 --> 14:48.012 - You always see your children so clearly. - [chuckles]
- 14:49.388 --> 14:51.307 I hope to be half the viscountess you are.
- 14:51.307 --> 14:53.475 I am sure you will be even greater.
- 14:53.475 --> 14:57.938 And forgive me. I will move into a dower house as soon as I find one.
- 14:57.938 --> 15:01.442 It is quite a task having two girls in society at once.
- 15:02.151 --> 15:03.193 Do not worry.
- 15:03.819 --> 15:07.406 Back in India, mothers stay in the home long beyond their children's wedding.
- 15:08.073 --> 15:09.700 I am grateful to have you close.
- 15:11.035 --> 15:12.286 Lady Bridgerton.
- 15:12.286 --> 15:13.287 [both] Yes.
- 15:13.287 --> 15:14.330 - Oh! - Oh, dear.
- 15:14.330 --> 15:16.540 - [laughter] - Are you enjoying the festivities today?
- 15:16.540 --> 15:17.666 Very much.
- 15:17.666 --> 15:20.419 Although the queen's absence is noted.
- 15:20.419 --> 15:21.337 Yes.
- 15:22.004 --> 15:25.507 I do think she finds herself somewhat reticent
- 15:25.507 --> 15:27.843 after her instincts went astray last season.
- 15:27.843 --> 15:30.888 But, of course, it all worked out in the end.
- 15:30.888 --> 15:32.556 - [chuckling] - I would not worry.
- 15:32.556 --> 15:35.017 Perhaps you should tell that to the other mamas.
- 15:35.017 --> 15:37.353 - [whimsical music plays] - Mmm...
- 15:39.188 --> 15:40.147 [chuckling]
- 15:40.147 --> 15:44.360 My travels? I cannot begin to share my travel adventures with you.
- 15:44.360 --> 15:46.362 If I did, you would swoon.
- 15:46.362 --> 15:47.279 [chuckling]
- 15:47.279 --> 15:49.782 - [Colin] And we cannot have that. - [chuckling]
- 15:49.782 --> 15:52.034 How is it possible your dance cards for the season
- 15:52.034 --> 15:54.036 are not yet full of suitors?
- 15:54.036 --> 15:55.162 [girls chuckling]
- 15:55.162 --> 15:57.498 You are flowers in bloom.
- 15:57.498 --> 15:58.749 Each one of you.
- 16:00.167 --> 16:03.754 My stories from abroad are not suitable for such tender young ladies.
- 16:03.754 --> 16:04.672 [chuckling]
- 16:04.672 --> 16:08.425 Were I to tell you even the tiniest adventure, well,
- 16:08.425 --> 16:10.135 I'd be forced to marry you.
- 16:10.135 --> 16:11.971 [girls chuckling]
- 16:16.141 --> 16:18.060 Such an array of beautiful ladies.
- 16:18.060 --> 16:18.978 [chuckling]
- 16:18.978 --> 16:20.771 Men will be fighting over you.
- 16:20.771 --> 16:21.772 [chuckling]
- 16:21.772 --> 16:23.357 I cannot compete.
- 16:23.357 --> 16:24.692 [girl] Oh...
- 16:25.317 --> 16:26.860 [chuckling]
- 16:26.860 --> 16:27.903 [sighs]
- 16:27.903 --> 16:28.988 [chuckles]
- 16:28.988 --> 16:30.990 [whimsical music peaks and fades out]
- 16:32.366 --> 16:34.910 We woke up to find he had fled in the night.
- 16:34.910 --> 16:38.414 He did not even stop to take his gun cabinet. Or me.
- 16:38.414 --> 16:41.458 [Lady Cowper] Well, let us hope that whoever lays claim to be
- 16:41.458 --> 16:43.836 the next Lord Featherington has more scruples.
- 16:43.836 --> 16:47.214 Or does common thievery run in the family?
- 16:48.632 --> 16:50.843 In fact, there shall be no more laying claim,
- 16:50.843 --> 16:52.845 as the last Lord Featherington
- 16:52.845 --> 16:56.181 wrote a document bequeathing the estate to my girls.
- 16:56.724 --> 16:58.934 Just as soon as one of them produces an heir.
- 16:59.643 --> 17:00.602 Did he?
- 17:02.646 --> 17:06.233 Shall we get some refreshments? Perhaps something strong?
- 17:14.283 --> 17:16.744 Pen. It is good to see you.
- 17:17.411 --> 17:18.245 Is it?
- 17:18.245 --> 17:21.415 Truly. It has felt like I've been absent years instead of months.
- 17:21.415 --> 17:23.500 Much has certainly changed in that time.
- 17:24.126 --> 17:27.254 A good deal, I know, but it was all the rage in Paris.
- 17:28.714 --> 17:31.300 You look distinguished. But, then again, you always have.
- 17:31.300 --> 17:33.719 When all is said and done, it is merely clothing.
- 17:34.678 --> 17:38.015 Whereas elsewhere, things seem to have fundamentally changed.
- 17:38.015 --> 17:41.602 Am I mistaken, or was Eloise walking arm-in-arm with Cressida Cowper?
- 17:42.394 --> 17:45.272 As you said, sometimes time moves rather quickly.
- 17:50.652 --> 17:52.279 [Philippa] Why didn't you tell us sooner
- 17:52.279 --> 17:54.323 one of us would be the new Lady Featherington?
- 17:54.323 --> 17:57.534 What purpose would there be in telling either of you to make a son?
- 17:57.534 --> 18:01.330 You're both married women. Must we tell a baker to bake?
- 18:01.330 --> 18:04.333 Technically, one of our sons would be the new Lord Featherington.
- 18:04.333 --> 18:06.210 One of us would be the heir's mama.
- 18:06.210 --> 18:09.379 "One of us"? You think you are part of this race? With what husband?
- 18:09.379 --> 18:11.673 Technically, when I'm the heir's mama,
- 18:11.673 --> 18:14.802 the first necessity will be ridding the house of dusty books.
- 18:14.802 --> 18:17.971 After, of course, I've changed Mama's ghastly curtains.
- 18:18.555 --> 18:21.683 Do not worry. I will let you keep your books... in the cloakroom.
- 18:21.683 --> 18:25.687 Oh! Which, I imagine, will be empty, as who will want to visit either of you?
- 18:25.687 --> 18:30.109 Neither of you will be inheriting anything if you do not go home and get to work.
- 18:30.109 --> 18:34.363 Can we not come over for pudding first? Your cook is so much better than ours.
- 18:34.363 --> 18:37.533 Well, that's your fault for marrying men without title. Go!
- 18:38.492 --> 18:40.494 [light classical music playing]
- 18:47.167 --> 18:49.419 Let us hope they take their time.
- 18:52.381 --> 18:53.382 [sighs]
- 18:54.758 --> 18:58.428 I take comfort in knowing that you will always be here to take care of me.
- 19:01.098 --> 19:02.266 [exhales deeply]
- 19:05.185 --> 19:07.187 [pensive classical music playing]
- 19:23.662 --> 19:25.664 [pensive music intensifies]
- 19:33.589 --> 19:35.007 [music peaks and fades out]
- 19:35.632 --> 19:38.218 I do not wish to see a citrus color ever again.
- 19:38.844 --> 19:40.637 Sour colors, indeed.
- 19:40.637 --> 19:44.391 But what has brought about this sudden desire for change?
- 19:44.933 --> 19:46.810 I cannot live at home any longer.
- 19:46.810 --> 19:50.314 It's been hard enough living under my mother's rules. But my sisters...
- 19:51.440 --> 19:53.442 To live at the whim of either the most cruel
- 19:53.442 --> 19:55.485 or the most simple person I know...
- 19:57.905 --> 20:00.032 I must take a husband before that happens.
- 20:00.574 --> 20:01.450 It is time.
- 20:02.284 --> 20:03.202 I see.
- 20:03.994 --> 20:07.998 And does my lady have a certain suitor in mind?
- 20:12.044 --> 20:13.503 I should like to be sensible.
- 20:14.171 --> 20:15.172 Someone kind,
- 20:15.756 --> 20:18.675 who allows me my privacy, for obvious reasons.
- 20:19.885 --> 20:22.387 Then a new look is just the thing.
- 20:24.640 --> 20:27.809 Perhaps something like what they are wearing in Paris?
- 20:31.271 --> 20:33.273 [light tune playing on piano]
- 20:34.149 --> 20:37.069 - I love it, brother. Where is it from? - A trader in Marseille.
- 20:37.069 --> 20:38.528 My perfume is from Paris?
- 20:38.528 --> 20:41.365 Where are my handsome playing cards from? Is this writing Spanish?
- 20:41.365 --> 20:45.118 - You visited France <i>and</i> Spain? - My sheet music is Italian.
- 20:45.118 --> 20:47.496 Exactly how many cities did you visit in four months?
- 20:47.496 --> 20:49.373 I lost count, in truth.
- 20:49.373 --> 20:52.876 No. Not in here. Outside, where our mother can't see.
- 20:52.876 --> 20:54.044 [Colin chuckles]
- 21:00.050 --> 21:01.551 Francesca, where is your sister?
- 21:03.512 --> 21:06.223 Eloise! Time for the modiste.
- 21:07.349 --> 21:09.017 Will this family ever be on time?
- 21:09.017 --> 21:10.894 A gift for you, Mother.
- 21:12.562 --> 21:13.397 Thank you.
- 21:18.527 --> 21:19.987 It is lovely.
- 21:20.654 --> 21:21.780 Truly.
- 21:21.780 --> 21:23.490 [both chuckle]
- 21:25.200 --> 21:27.536 Oh, my. We really are late. [chuckles]
- 21:27.536 --> 21:28.495 Francesca.
- 21:28.495 --> 21:29.663 Eloise!
- 21:29.663 --> 21:31.748 [whimsical music playing]
- 21:36.920 --> 21:39.798 Eloise. Surely you are not eager to hasten to the modiste?
- 21:39.798 --> 21:41.591 - [chuckles] - I've something for you.
- 21:41.591 --> 21:43.844 - Ah! Here it is. - It is a book.
- 21:43.844 --> 21:46.763 - A rare Bavarian text on the rights-- - I am reading something.
- 21:46.763 --> 21:48.974 - It is called <i>Emma.</i> - A novel?
- 21:48.974 --> 21:51.226 You have never been one for silly romances.
- 21:51.226 --> 21:52.227 [music fades out]
- 21:52.227 --> 21:54.021 Perhaps my tastes have changed.
- 21:54.730 --> 21:57.858 The writings I read before of women making their way outside society,
- 21:57.858 --> 21:59.151 those were the romances.
- 21:59.151 --> 22:02.779 This book has humor and truth... the pains of friendship.
- 22:02.779 --> 22:04.573 It is altogether more probable.
- 22:04.573 --> 22:07.826 And I take it your taste in friendship has changed as well?
- 22:08.952 --> 22:10.829 Cressida surprised me this summer.
- 22:10.829 --> 22:13.248 She showed me kindness in the country when no one else would.
- 22:13.248 --> 22:14.583 And what of Penelope?
- 22:16.209 --> 22:17.836 We have simply grown apart.
- 22:18.420 --> 22:20.922 Lady Whistledown nearly ruined me last season.
- 22:21.506 --> 22:25.344 I lost the battle, and I have no appetite for the war. I've joined the winning side.
- 22:25.344 --> 22:26.928 Not unlike you, I take it?
- 22:28.263 --> 22:30.140 Or is this truly the new you?
- 22:30.140 --> 22:31.099 Hmm.
- 22:31.099 --> 22:32.893 A man cannot tell his secrets.
- 22:32.893 --> 22:34.144 Mmm...
- 22:34.144 --> 22:35.270 Must be lonely.
- 22:40.233 --> 22:42.235 [bright classical music playing]
- 22:55.290 --> 22:56.792 [music fades out]
- 23:01.671 --> 23:03.882 Could you please meet me in the carriage, Rae?
- 23:11.348 --> 23:12.349 [shop bell rings]
- 23:14.434 --> 23:15.644 I've been hoping we would meet.
- 23:16.603 --> 23:20.190 Did not seem so when you were hiding away in the countryside this summer.
- 23:20.857 --> 23:23.402 I avoided society because I did not know if you'd want to see me.
- 23:24.403 --> 23:26.988 And because you were worried I might reveal your secret.
- 23:27.614 --> 23:29.032 I do appreciate you keeping it.
- 23:30.826 --> 23:33.370 Eloise, I am so sorry about everything.
- 23:33.370 --> 23:37.207 For what you did, or because I discovered it was you who wrote such damning things?
- 23:37.999 --> 23:40.127 You may not understand, but I was trying to protect--
- 23:40.127 --> 23:42.254 No, I do not need your explanations.
- 23:42.254 --> 23:46.466 I have kept your secret exactly because I do not wish to keep revisiting the past.
- 23:47.843 --> 23:50.095 Now you have your life, and I have mine.
- 23:50.095 --> 23:51.304 With Cressida?
- 23:51.304 --> 23:53.974 - [scoffs] - Are you really friends with her?
- 23:54.558 --> 23:56.309 I wish you very well, Penelope.
- 24:01.106 --> 24:02.274 Your Madeira, sir.
- 24:02.274 --> 24:05.694 I am not one to complain about a mid-afternoon tipple,
- 24:05.694 --> 24:07.154 but what's the occasion?
- 24:07.154 --> 24:10.323 To thank you for taking care of the estate while I was on honeymoon.
- 24:10.323 --> 24:12.659 I was surprised to see every "t" crossed and "i" dotted.
- 24:12.659 --> 24:15.620 Well, I do not know whether to be moved or offended.
- 24:15.620 --> 24:16.830 Perhaps both?
- 24:16.830 --> 24:17.789 [sighs]
- 24:17.789 --> 24:20.083 In truth, I enjoyed having a purpose.
- 24:20.083 --> 24:24.004 Whereas now that you're back, I'm not certain what I'm supposed to do.
- 24:24.004 --> 24:26.548 I'm certain Mother has a list of ladies she could offer you.
- 24:26.548 --> 24:29.134 Brother, please take some of his attention.
- 24:29.134 --> 24:33.597 And you, I invited here to congratulate on your many new admirers.
- 24:33.597 --> 24:35.599 I'm not certain that should cheer me.
- 24:35.599 --> 24:38.018 Bridgertons, my apologies for the wait.
- 24:38.018 --> 24:40.729 - Business is good. - [Benedict] We are glad to see it.
- 24:40.729 --> 24:43.064 - Will you join us for one? - Pardon me. Um...
- 24:43.064 --> 24:45.108 Wife business comes first. [chuckles]
- 24:47.736 --> 24:49.821 Mr. Dundas is here to see us, Will.
- 24:50.363 --> 24:52.908 Mr. Dundas. Can I offer you a drink?
- 24:52.908 --> 24:55.535 [chuckles] No. No, thank you.
- 24:55.535 --> 24:58.121 Ah. I shall be quick. And now that I have you both.
- 24:58.705 --> 25:02.584 Are you aware, Mrs. Mondrich, of your great-aunt, Lady Kent?
- 25:03.668 --> 25:04.794 Kent, yes.
- 25:04.794 --> 25:08.423 We met once in my youth. A very cold lady.
- 25:08.423 --> 25:10.967 She is colder now, I am afraid.
- 25:12.302 --> 25:13.136 Oh, she's died?
- 25:16.431 --> 25:17.766 Has she left us something?
- 25:17.766 --> 25:19.434 She has not left you something.
- 25:19.434 --> 25:22.354 She has left your son Nicholas everything.
- 25:23.271 --> 25:26.399 And while you have several cousins more closely related to her,
- 25:26.399 --> 25:28.360 none have male children.
- 25:28.902 --> 25:33.448 As such, Nicholas shall be the next Baron of Kent.
- 25:33.448 --> 25:35.533 [hopeful classical music playing]
- 25:41.248 --> 25:43.750 Perhaps <i>we</i> might need drinks.
- 25:47.545 --> 25:49.548 [music fades out]
- 25:52.968 --> 25:54.386 [dog barking]
- 25:54.386 --> 25:56.471 [gentle classical music playing]
- 26:14.155 --> 26:15.407 [Kate pants]
- 26:18.702 --> 26:20.036 [both moan softly]
- 26:27.919 --> 26:30.839 [Kate panting slowly]
- 26:32.257 --> 26:33.758 [Anthony moans softly]
- 26:36.094 --> 26:38.054 [Violet] Do not run. She will hear you.
- 26:38.054 --> 26:39.347 [Gregory chattering]
- 26:39.347 --> 26:41.182 - [Anthony] Ignore them. - I cannot.
- 26:41.182 --> 26:43.560 - [Francesca] Go away! She will hear you. - Trust me.
- 26:43.560 --> 26:46.938 What's happening there cannot be as important as what's happening down here.
- 26:48.898 --> 26:50.400 Making an heir.
- 26:50.400 --> 26:52.027 [both laugh]
- 26:52.027 --> 26:53.361 You do know
- 26:53.361 --> 26:57.157 that what we are doing is not how one makes an heir?
- 26:58.158 --> 26:59.409 We have to start somewhere.
- 26:59.409 --> 27:02.454 It is my first week as viscountess in my new home.
- 27:02.454 --> 27:06.374 Tonight is Lady Danbury's ball. I must make a good impression.
- 27:09.753 --> 27:10.629 [Kate laughs]
- 27:10.629 --> 27:13.381 [light classical music plays]
- 27:13.381 --> 27:16.301 [indistinct overlapping chatter]
- 27:24.934 --> 27:26.144 [clinks]
- 27:31.149 --> 27:33.151 [music fades out]
- 27:34.027 --> 27:36.404 I should like to try something a little different tonight.
- 27:37.364 --> 27:39.824 [uplifting classical music plays]
- 28:08.228 --> 28:09.646 [music fades out]
- 28:09.646 --> 28:11.731 [indistinct overlapping chatter]
- 28:13.817 --> 28:15.819 [up-tempo classical tune playing]
- 28:42.804 --> 28:43.930 [Lady Danbury] Ah...
- 28:43.930 --> 28:47.100 Oh, Lady Danbury, you have outdone yourself once again.
- 28:47.100 --> 28:51.187 As you know, the first ball is no small thing.
- 28:51.187 --> 28:52.772 I do not take it lightly.
- 28:55.692 --> 28:57.026 [classical tune ends]
- 28:59.279 --> 29:01.865 [Cressida] I wonder what Whistledown will write about next issue.
- 29:01.865 --> 29:04.159 The season is off to quite a dull start.
- 29:04.909 --> 29:07.454 I am sure she will find something. Or make something up.
- 29:07.454 --> 29:10.582 Pardon me, miss. We failed to collect your cloak.
- 29:11.541 --> 29:12.500 Yes, of course.
- 29:14.919 --> 29:16.921 [uplifting classical music playing]
- 29:19.382 --> 29:21.634 I do not think that will be necessary.
- 29:27.724 --> 29:29.309 [Prudence] Is everyone staring at us?
- 29:29.309 --> 29:32.437 Jealousy, my love, that you are now mine.
- 29:38.485 --> 29:40.570 It is not us they stare at.
- 29:43.865 --> 29:46.201 [Philippa] She spends my fortune before I can claim it!
- 29:46.201 --> 29:47.827 That is her intention.
- 29:47.827 --> 29:50.038 If she wants to wear such a melancholy color,
- 29:50.038 --> 29:51.372 that is her prerogative.
- 29:59.506 --> 30:02.383 I told the contessa that, in my homeland, we do not--
- 30:09.808 --> 30:11.142 [song fades out]
- 30:12.519 --> 30:14.521 [up-tempo classical tune plays]
- 30:38.127 --> 30:40.922 Miss Featherington. A pleasure to see you.
- 30:40.922 --> 30:42.423 What a striking gown you have on.
- 30:43.675 --> 30:44.759 You as well, my lord.
- 30:46.010 --> 30:46.845 Uh... [chuckles]
- 30:46.845 --> 30:49.472 Not the gown part, obviously. The first part.
- 30:49.472 --> 30:52.600 It is a pleasure to see you all in your proper evening dress,
- 30:52.600 --> 30:55.019 which is not at all gown-like.
- 31:01.025 --> 31:02.944 You genuinely enjoy embroidery?
- 31:02.944 --> 31:06.364 Of course I do. There is simply so much one can do with it.
- 31:07.448 --> 31:08.449 For example?
- 31:08.449 --> 31:09.784 Since you have asked,
- 31:10.577 --> 31:12.870 the stem stitch, tried and true.
- 31:13.496 --> 31:16.291 The straight stitch, running stitch, chain stitch.
- 31:16.291 --> 31:18.626 The French knot, if one was feeling bold.
- 31:18.626 --> 31:20.670 [Miss Hartigan] Oh, yes! [chuckles]
- 31:20.670 --> 31:23.673 I like to read very much. Perhaps too much.
- 31:23.673 --> 31:26.342 My mama is always telling me put my books down.
- 31:26.342 --> 31:29.470 Not that there is anything wrong with reading, of course.
- 31:29.470 --> 31:32.515 I'm not sure of her reasoning. Do you all like to read?
- 31:32.515 --> 31:35.018 [Miss Hartigan] The feather stitch, the fly stitch.
- 31:35.602 --> 31:38.104 Ooh! The detached chain stitch. [chuckles]
- 31:39.022 --> 31:41.024 Do you not have a favorite, Miss Eloise?
- 31:41.649 --> 31:45.236 Wha-- The... uh, shift stitch. [chuckles]
- 31:46.446 --> 31:47.447 I'm not familiar.
- 31:47.447 --> 31:51.826 It's the one that shifts this conversation perhaps to something besides embroidery.
- 31:53.703 --> 31:54.787 Oh!
- 31:54.787 --> 31:55.788 A jest.
- 31:56.623 --> 31:57.540 How clever.
- 31:58.041 --> 32:00.043 [light classical music playing]
- 32:06.466 --> 32:08.343 - Perhaps-- - I-- Oh... [chuckles]
- 32:08.343 --> 32:11.846 Uh, forgive me. Uh... Please. You were saying, Lord Barnell?
- 32:11.846 --> 32:15.266 [Lord Barnell] I was going to say perhaps we should take our leave,
- 32:15.266 --> 32:18.811 lest we remain too long and give Lady Whistledown something to write about.
- 32:33.618 --> 32:35.828 And that one. Who is she?
- 32:36.329 --> 32:39.749 That, Your Majesty, is Miss Penelope Featherington.
- 32:39.749 --> 32:41.709 This is her third season out.
- 32:41.709 --> 32:44.003 But there are several impressive new contenders
- 32:44.003 --> 32:47.006 for Your Majesty's favor, should you care to grace them with such.
- 32:47.006 --> 32:49.592 And why should I grace them with anything?
- 32:49.592 --> 32:52.387 Well, there is some anxiety amongst the mamas
- 32:52.387 --> 32:55.139 that you have not yet selected a diamond.
- 32:55.139 --> 32:59.060 A diamond is precious precisely because it is rare.
- 32:59.060 --> 33:00.520 I throw one diamond ball,
- 33:00.520 --> 33:04.107 and anxious mamas expect a diamond every year. Hmm.
- 33:04.107 --> 33:07.902 I threw a zebra ball once. Do they expect a new zebra each year?
- 33:07.902 --> 33:10.446 Mmm... Well, you are right.
- 33:10.446 --> 33:13.282 You have only named the diamond once.
- 33:13.282 --> 33:16.577 I believe it was Lady Whistledown
- 33:16.577 --> 33:18.871 who named the diamond the first year.
- 33:18.871 --> 33:21.624 How right she was about the duchess.
- 33:23.668 --> 33:24.669 [Charlotte] Mmm.
- 33:26.879 --> 33:30.133 Miss Francesca, tell us, what are your hobbies?
- 33:30.883 --> 33:32.343 I play the pianoforte.
- 33:32.343 --> 33:34.178 That is magnificent.
- 33:35.304 --> 33:37.515 And your other interests?
- 33:37.515 --> 33:40.685 Pianoforte does take up a great deal of my time. [chuckles]
- 33:41.394 --> 33:45.023 I think what Lord Fife means to say is, who are you besides your hobbies?
- 33:45.023 --> 33:47.608 Yes. What do you desire?
- 33:48.192 --> 33:49.736 What do you despise?
- 33:49.736 --> 33:51.487 What makes you, uh, tick?
- 33:53.322 --> 33:54.157 I...
- 33:55.241 --> 33:57.744 I think my brother needs me.
- 33:57.744 --> 33:59.829 If you would excuse me one moment.
- 34:03.624 --> 34:06.294 Brother, I should like a moment alone.
- 34:08.337 --> 34:09.172 Of course.
- 34:21.934 --> 34:24.312 Oh, dear. Is Francesca quite well?
- 34:24.312 --> 34:27.231 She simply needed a moment, as do I.
- 34:27.231 --> 34:31.027 And I should like to use that moment to dance with my beautiful wife.
- 34:31.027 --> 34:32.779 Please enjoy yourselves.
- 34:32.779 --> 34:35.656 - [whispers] Interference. - [Violet chuckles, inhales]
- 34:36.616 --> 34:39.160 [sweeping classical music plays]
- 35:04.185 --> 35:05.019 Penelope.
- 35:15.404 --> 35:17.073 [Penelope] You ought to take to the floor.
- 35:17.073 --> 35:18.241 [Francesca] Ought I?
- 35:18.866 --> 35:21.702 Once one finds oneself on the wall, it is difficult to come off it.
- 35:22.453 --> 35:23.663 No matter what one does.
- 35:24.455 --> 35:27.166 At least the wall is not asking what makes me tick.
- 35:28.125 --> 35:30.878 [Penelope] Did you not enjoy conversing with those gentlemen?
- 35:30.878 --> 35:32.380 [Francesca] I expected conversation.
- 35:32.380 --> 35:34.298 I did not expect to be inspected
- 35:34.298 --> 35:38.386 as if I were some rare insect writhing under a microscope.
- 35:39.428 --> 35:41.389 You do not much like attracting notice, do you?
- 35:42.223 --> 35:44.100 Not really. No.
- 35:44.684 --> 35:46.310 Perhaps that does make you rare.
- 35:46.310 --> 35:49.480 It seems as though every Bridgerton was born to attract notice
- 35:49.981 --> 35:51.107 in one way or another.
- 35:53.901 --> 35:56.863 I am... different from my siblings as well.
- 35:58.990 --> 36:00.950 It can be difficult, can it not?
- 36:07.123 --> 36:09.417 But they are wonderful, each of them.
- 36:11.836 --> 36:13.754 I know. You are lucky for that.
- 36:16.132 --> 36:18.342 And you are lucky to have so much notice.
- 36:19.218 --> 36:20.553 Even if it is trying.
- 36:21.804 --> 36:24.891 For some of us, notice is very slight.
- 36:26.767 --> 36:28.936 Miss Francesca. A dance?
- 36:28.936 --> 36:31.022 [music fades out]
- 36:32.398 --> 36:33.608 Of course, my lord.
- 36:36.903 --> 36:39.071 You really ought to take to the floor again.
- 36:39.614 --> 36:42.283 It's difficult to come off the wall once you are on it.
- 36:42.283 --> 36:43.451 [chuckles softly]
- 36:47.830 --> 36:49.582 [bright classical music plays]
- 36:49.582 --> 36:50.583 [sighs]
- 37:13.981 --> 37:14.982 [groans]
- 37:15.733 --> 37:18.110 Are you well, Miss Featherington?
- 37:18.110 --> 37:20.404 Yes. Forgive me. Cold headache.
- 37:20.404 --> 37:21.572 From the ice cream
- 37:21.572 --> 37:24.283 or the very congenial-looking miss with the sneer?
- 37:24.909 --> 37:25.743 [scoffs]
- 37:25.743 --> 37:29.830 Do not worry. I've been the recipient of an untold number of withering looks.
- 37:29.830 --> 37:31.123 Hers was mediocre at best.
- 37:33.876 --> 37:36.295 Um, Lord Debling, is it not?
- 37:37.421 --> 37:41.259 And why do I have the feeling that you, in turn, know how to make one wither
- 37:41.259 --> 37:42.718 if you so choose?
- 37:44.387 --> 37:45.304 Me?
- 37:47.431 --> 37:48.975 Well, I-- I suppose--
- 37:50.393 --> 37:51.936 I do not. [chuckles]
- 37:53.646 --> 37:56.023 [chuckles, coughs] Uh...
- 37:56.857 --> 37:58.025 Excuse me. I--
- 37:59.068 --> 38:00.194 - [fabric tears] - Ooh!
- 38:00.194 --> 38:02.363 How mortifying! I am so clumsy.
- 38:02.363 --> 38:03.864 My deepest apologies.
- 38:03.864 --> 38:06.575 Heavens. Well, accidents will happen.
- 38:06.575 --> 38:09.245 Miss Featherington, I shall find a maid to help you.
- 38:09.829 --> 38:11.247 It'd be most appreciated.
- 38:11.831 --> 38:12.665 Miss Cowper.
- 38:14.292 --> 38:16.919 It is a pity you did not choose something sturdier.
- 38:16.919 --> 38:19.380 Perhaps if you had not bought such cheap fabric,
- 38:19.380 --> 38:21.549 it would not have ripped. [chuckles]
- 38:29.557 --> 38:31.308 Pen, I am-- I'm so sorry.
- 38:32.852 --> 38:35.438 There were perhaps some late nights.
- 38:36.772 --> 38:39.525 Pen? She did not look well, did she?
- 38:39.525 --> 38:41.944 The Featherington girl? Why concern yourself with her?
- 38:41.944 --> 38:43.946 I want to know what happened on these late nights.
- 38:43.946 --> 38:47.575 Whatever happened to you, I must say, you are much more fun this season.
- 38:48.326 --> 38:49.493 Do excuse me, just a moment.
- 38:56.375 --> 38:59.420 [footman] Right away, miss. The carriage for Miss Featherington!
- 39:00.004 --> 39:00.880 [man] Aye.
- 39:07.595 --> 39:08.846 - Pen. - Colin.
- 39:09.764 --> 39:11.057 What are you doing out here?
- 39:11.057 --> 39:13.476 I am just... getting some fresh air.
- 39:14.310 --> 39:18.230 Why are you leaving so soon? Especially in such a charming dress.
- 39:18.230 --> 39:20.608 - Do not mock me, please. - Mock you?
- 39:20.608 --> 39:23.402 I assure you I am quite serious. The color rather suits you.
- 39:25.696 --> 39:26.989 Good night, Mr. Bridgerton.
- 39:26.989 --> 39:29.492 - Do you not need a chaperone? - Spinsters don't need chaperones.
- 39:29.492 --> 39:31.327 [chuckles] You are not a spinster.
- 39:31.327 --> 39:33.913 I am in my third year on the marriage mart, with no prospects.
- 39:33.913 --> 39:35.247 What would you call that?
- 39:37.208 --> 39:40.628 Is something wrong, Pen? Between us, I mean.
- 39:40.628 --> 39:43.255 I wrote to you this summer, as I always do.
- 39:43.255 --> 39:46.300 And... well, you did not respond. Admittedly, very few did. But...
- 39:46.300 --> 39:48.511 If you are going to make me say it out loud,
- 39:49.303 --> 39:50.221 I miss you.
- 39:51.472 --> 39:52.306 You miss me?
- 39:53.891 --> 39:56.435 You miss me, but you'd never court me. Is that correct?
- 39:57.770 --> 39:58.771 Pen, I--
- 39:58.771 --> 40:02.108 I overheard you... at my mama's ball last season,
- 40:02.108 --> 40:05.403 telling everyone how you would never court Penelope Featherington.
- 40:08.989 --> 40:10.741 Perhaps we should talk somewhere more private?
- 40:10.741 --> 40:12.493 Because I embarrass you?
- 40:12.493 --> 40:14.328 Of course you would never court me.
- 40:14.912 --> 40:17.998 I am the laughingstock of the ton, even when I change my entire wardrobe.
- 40:19.250 --> 40:22.086 It never occurred to me that you, of all people, could be so cruel.
- 40:26.215 --> 40:28.926 [tense classical music playing]
- 40:58.914 --> 41:00.916 [birds chirping]
- 41:00.916 --> 41:02.793 [music fades out]
- 41:03.502 --> 41:07.339 There is, um, a gentleman here to see you, ma'am.
- 41:09.842 --> 41:12.887 Lady Featherington, I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
- 41:12.887 --> 41:14.513 Good day, Mr...
- 41:14.513 --> 41:16.849 Walter Dundas, Esquire.
- 41:16.849 --> 41:19.185 I work for the Crown, responsible for ensuring
- 41:19.185 --> 41:22.605 the lines of succession run smoothly within our great families.
- 41:23.189 --> 41:24.023 I see.
- 41:24.565 --> 41:27.568 And, uh, to what do we owe the visit?
- 41:27.568 --> 41:30.488 I have been made aware that your cousin Jack Featherington
- 41:30.488 --> 41:32.656 recently left town with your entire fortune.
- 41:32.656 --> 41:35.409 Yes, sir. My cousin, the swindler.
- 41:35.409 --> 41:37.328 That man was a terrible liar.
- 41:37.912 --> 41:38.746 Hmm.
- 41:38.746 --> 41:42.208 I have in my possession a document he signed granting the estate
- 41:42.208 --> 41:45.628 to one of your daughters once she produces a male heir.
- 41:46.587 --> 41:48.088 Ah, yes, that document.
- 41:48.923 --> 41:50.591 That document is valid.
- 41:50.591 --> 41:52.676 Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
- 41:52.676 --> 41:54.053 [chuckles]
- 41:54.053 --> 41:57.848 It is a rather unusual situation. Are any of your daughters with child?
- 41:57.848 --> 42:00.643 Oh, I do hope to receive the news any day now.
- 42:02.686 --> 42:03.562 I see.
- 42:03.562 --> 42:07.525 Currently, the Crown is unaware of another living male heir.
- 42:07.525 --> 42:11.529 It would be quite a task transferring the estate to another family.
- 42:13.781 --> 42:17.284 A great deal of upheaval for the Featherington tenants and society,
- 42:17.284 --> 42:18.994 and, frankly, me.
- 42:18.994 --> 42:23.207 But should I find that this rather convenient document is, in fact, forged
- 42:23.207 --> 42:25.876 before one of your girls has an heir,
- 42:25.876 --> 42:28.212 the upheaval may indeed be necessary.
- 42:30.548 --> 42:31.382 Well, then,
- 42:32.049 --> 42:35.052 it is a good thing the document is not forged,
- 42:35.052 --> 42:37.555 and that my girls do so love their husbands.
- 42:37.555 --> 42:38.556 [chuckles]
- 42:38.556 --> 42:40.307 A very good thing indeed.
- 42:40.307 --> 42:43.018 I shall pay another visit to you very soon.
- 42:45.187 --> 42:46.230 Mmm.
- 42:46.230 --> 42:48.023 Such a beautiful home.
- 42:50.234 --> 42:51.068 Good day.
- 43:06.500 --> 43:09.253 Thankfully, I do not have much competition this season.
- 43:09.753 --> 43:13.048 Aside from Francesca, who stirred a good deal of interest, I suppose.
- 43:13.549 --> 43:17.428 But I do believe my handling of Penelope was a clear message. Would you agree?
- 43:17.428 --> 43:20.598 I believe the message was received by all with that particular trick.
- 43:20.598 --> 43:21.515 You disapprove?
- 43:22.808 --> 43:27.021 - I thought we did not like Penelope. - What you did was cruel and unnecessary.
- 43:29.231 --> 43:33.777 You often talk of how difficult it has been for you to find a husband.
- 43:35.237 --> 43:39.950 But do you not think it might be easier if you displayed a bit less... frankness?
- 43:43.537 --> 43:45.539 It has been difficult to find a husband.
- 43:47.583 --> 43:50.044 It has been more difficult still to find a friend.
- 43:51.837 --> 43:53.797 I've not had many since my debut.
- 43:54.757 --> 43:55.799 Not real ones.
- 43:57.092 --> 43:58.260 I did as a girl.
- 43:59.386 --> 44:02.139 But the season has a way of coming between young ladies,
- 44:02.806 --> 44:04.600 pitting us against one another.
- 44:06.935 --> 44:10.189 I suppose I've fallen prey to it... once
- 44:10.689 --> 44:11.982 or twice.
- 44:11.982 --> 44:13.859 - Or thrice. - [chuckles]
- 44:17.154 --> 44:18.238 But you are right.
- 44:19.656 --> 44:22.618 Society does not seek to forge affections amongst us. I--
- 44:23.911 --> 44:25.871 I thought I was the only one who noticed.
- 44:27.289 --> 44:29.833 I did try to befriend you in your first season out.
- 44:30.667 --> 44:32.211 But you rejected my suit.
- 44:32.920 --> 44:34.630 I actually do not blame you.
- 44:35.923 --> 44:37.466 I have not always been kind.
- 44:40.094 --> 44:42.554 But whatever Penelope did to lose your friendship...
- 44:44.556 --> 44:45.557 you are right.
- 44:46.225 --> 44:48.143 She is undeserving of my attention.
- 44:48.894 --> 44:49.937 And of yours.
- 44:52.606 --> 44:56.443 Let us think only of ourselves. We are far more interesting.
- 44:56.443 --> 44:57.528 [chuckles]
- 44:58.070 --> 44:59.571 I'm inclined to agree with you.
- 44:59.571 --> 45:01.699 [pleasant classical music plays]
- 45:18.882 --> 45:19.758 You are back.
- 45:19.758 --> 45:21.844 [music fades out]
- 45:22.803 --> 45:24.388 How were your meetings?
- 45:24.388 --> 45:26.265 Not nearly as good as our bed.
- 45:27.683 --> 45:29.184 Shall we return to it?
- 45:29.184 --> 45:30.102 Hmm...
- 45:32.396 --> 45:33.689 - [sighs] - Mmm...
- 45:34.273 --> 45:36.775 There is a matter I must discuss with you first.
- 45:40.362 --> 45:41.363 Your mother.
- 45:41.363 --> 45:42.322 I know.
- 45:43.949 --> 45:46.785 I know. She's doing everything she can to delay her move.
- 45:46.785 --> 45:49.580 - I will speak with her today. - What if you did not?
- 45:50.831 --> 45:53.500 Your mother enjoys being viscountess so much,
- 45:54.293 --> 45:56.003 while I have already spent years
- 45:56.003 --> 45:58.797 taking care of Edwina and running the Sharma household.
- 45:59.673 --> 46:02.468 And I've never seen you happier than when you were away
- 46:02.468 --> 46:04.344 from the duty of running this place.
- 46:04.344 --> 46:06.096 [gentle music playing]
- 46:06.096 --> 46:08.515 So why not put ourselves first for once
- 46:09.641 --> 46:10.976 and extend the honeymoon?
- 46:12.603 --> 46:13.729 Are you quite sure?
- 46:14.938 --> 46:19.318 We have our lives to be viscount and viscountess.
- 46:22.905 --> 46:26.742 For now, the only duty that interests me is making an heir or two.
- 46:26.742 --> 46:27.910 [sighs] Ah...
- 46:28.410 --> 46:32.372 - Let your mother stay a little longer. - I do not want to speak...
- 46:33.624 --> 46:35.709 of my mother a moment longer.
- 46:36.752 --> 46:37.628 [Kate grunts]
- 46:38.587 --> 46:40.297 [both moaning, panting]
- 46:41.507 --> 46:43.675 [music fades out]
- 46:48.013 --> 46:49.014 My dear.
- 46:51.058 --> 46:54.269 Tell me, how was last night? Mm?
- 46:54.853 --> 46:56.605 Did you enjoy your first ball?
- 46:57.523 --> 46:59.691 It was... satisfactory.
- 47:07.241 --> 47:08.158 My dear,
- 47:08.700 --> 47:11.995 think of the balls as playing a duet.
- 47:13.205 --> 47:16.416 When you play with another person, there is a certain vulnerability
- 47:16.416 --> 47:19.461 which can be quite frightening,
- 47:19.461 --> 47:21.797 I would imagine. But it is worth it
- 47:22.506 --> 47:25.050 once you find that person with whom you
- 47:25.717 --> 47:27.636 make an unexpected harmony.
- 47:27.636 --> 47:29.721 I'm not frightened of the balls, Mama.
- 47:30.347 --> 47:31.682 Or of finding a match.
- 47:32.641 --> 47:34.017 What you and Father,
- 47:34.017 --> 47:36.436 and Daphne and Anthony all have is enviable,
- 47:36.436 --> 47:38.897 but it is also rare.
- 47:38.897 --> 47:41.191 And I am not certain I need to feel
- 47:41.191 --> 47:45.529 butterflies or... unexpected harmony, per your metaphor. [chuckles]
- 47:45.529 --> 47:49.283 But you will at least be open if love comes your way.
- 47:50.409 --> 47:51.243 Yes?
- 47:52.286 --> 47:53.495 Let us see what happens.
- 47:53.495 --> 47:56.748 Ma'am? The viscountess is looking for you.
- 47:58.584 --> 47:59.835 [Violet chuckles lightly]
- 48:03.505 --> 48:05.507 [somber music playing]
- 48:06.592 --> 48:08.093 You have a visitor, miss.
- 48:12.639 --> 48:13.891 I'm sorry for intruding.
- 48:13.891 --> 48:15.934 [music fades out]
- 48:15.934 --> 48:16.852 It's all right.
- 48:21.732 --> 48:24.610 And I am very sorry for my callous comment here last year.
- 48:25.319 --> 48:28.780 - It pains me to see you upset. - Then perhaps you should not have come.
- 48:30.866 --> 48:32.951 I am not the man I was last season.
- 48:34.036 --> 48:36.038 And I'm most certainly not ashamed of you.
- 48:36.038 --> 48:37.581 The opposite is true, in fact.
- 48:37.581 --> 48:41.710 I seek you out at every social assembly because I know you will lift my spirits
- 48:41.710 --> 48:44.504 and make me see the world in ways I could not have imagined.
- 48:45.172 --> 48:48.300 You are clever and warm and...
- 48:50.135 --> 48:52.262 I am proud to call you my very good friend.
- 48:52.846 --> 48:53.972 It has been vexing...
- 48:55.766 --> 48:58.602 watching you walk back into society with such ease.
- 48:59.353 --> 49:03.398 When every year, I pray I might finally feel that way amidst the marriage mart,
- 49:03.398 --> 49:05.317 and that comfort never materializes.
- 49:06.234 --> 49:08.654 Well, if a husband is what you seek,
- 49:08.654 --> 49:11.323 then... let me help you.
- 49:11.323 --> 49:12.783 Help me how?
- 49:12.783 --> 49:15.369 I was in 17 cities this summer,
- 49:15.369 --> 49:19.414 and what I have learned is that charm can be taught.
- 49:19.414 --> 49:22.960 Colin, I cannot have you with me, whispering into my ear in every ballroom.
- 49:22.960 --> 49:24.211 You will not need that.
- 49:24.711 --> 49:25.879 We will have lessons.
- 49:25.879 --> 49:28.173 And you will quickly master them, I am certain.
- 49:31.093 --> 49:34.763 There is nothing more I want than to earn back the favor of the one person
- 49:34.763 --> 49:39.142 who has always truly made me feel... appreciated.
- 49:45.107 --> 49:46.066 What do you say?
- 49:46.066 --> 49:47.818 You want me to shake your hand?
- 49:47.818 --> 49:49.611 It is perhaps unusual,
- 49:49.611 --> 49:52.280 but... are we not friends?
- 49:52.280 --> 49:54.366 [pensive classical music plays]
- 50:04.960 --> 50:05.794 Friends.
- 50:08.296 --> 50:10.048 [Colin] I shall see you soon.
- 50:25.731 --> 50:26.773 [sighs]
- 50:28.191 --> 50:29.234 [chuckles softly]
- 50:32.112 --> 50:33.530 [woman] Is that Whistledown?
- 50:34.197 --> 50:36.158 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Dearest Gentle Reader,</i>
- 50:36.158 --> 50:38.660 <i>when the tide of change turns,</i>
- 50:38.660 --> 50:42.247 <i>it can be sudden, fierce, and deadly.</i>
- 50:42.247 --> 50:45.459 <i>Especially for the unprepared.</i>
- 50:48.670 --> 50:50.964 <i>It seems to this author</i>
- 50:50.964 --> 50:54.801 <i>that our bon ton is moving with the changing tide,</i>
- 50:54.801 --> 50:56.303 <i>to be sure.</i>
- 50:57.137 --> 50:58.055 Lord Kent.
- 51:00.265 --> 51:01.850 Welcome to your new home.
- 51:09.399 --> 51:13.445 [Lady Whistledown] <i>While others cling firmly to that which they already know.</i>
- 51:18.158 --> 51:21.244 <i>None more so than our queen,</i>
- 51:21.244 --> 51:24.080 <i>who has still yet to choose a diamond.</i>
- 51:24.080 --> 51:27.542 <i>This author wonders if her hesitancy</i>
- 51:27.542 --> 51:31.087 <i>is a symptom of fortitude or fear.</i>
- 51:31.671 --> 51:33.131 <i>If it is the latter,</i>
- 51:33.131 --> 51:36.468 <i>pride in past achievements will not benefit her,</i>
- 51:37.052 --> 51:40.764 <i>as our debutantes are ready to play this season.</i>
- 51:40.764 --> 51:42.974 <i>Your serve, Your Majesty.</i>
- 51:46.561 --> 51:49.940 It seems Lady Whistledown is playing games again.
- 51:50.690 --> 51:51.650 Ah.
- 51:52.609 --> 51:54.528 Are you going to play along, Your Majesty?
- 51:55.403 --> 51:56.738 I do love a game.
- 51:58.365 --> 52:00.867 Especially when I am so often the victor.
- 52:06.623 --> 52:08.667 [Penelope] Whistledown has come early.
- 52:08.667 --> 52:10.710 I am reading it. Are you mad?
- 52:10.710 --> 52:13.880 You of all people would be quite interested in today's issue, Penelope.
- 52:13.880 --> 52:17.384 Lady Whistledown has a good deal to say about your precious Bridgertons.
- 52:18.051 --> 52:19.678 Colin, in fact.
- 52:20.887 --> 52:23.515 Whatever she's said about him, she is wrong.
- 52:23.515 --> 52:28.520 [Lady Whistledown] <i>Dare I say, this author is ready to play as well.</i>
- 52:28.520 --> 52:31.064 <i>I do not fear change.</i>
- 52:31.064 --> 52:32.649 <i>I embrace it.</i>
- 52:33.400 --> 52:35.026 <i>And then there are some</i>
- 52:35.026 --> 52:38.572 <i>who take the embrace of change a step too far.</i>
- 52:38.572 --> 52:40.031 Good afternoon, sister.
- 52:40.740 --> 52:41.867 Brother! Afternoon.
- 52:41.867 --> 52:43.326 Where were you?
- 52:43.326 --> 52:45.078 Nowhere. What are you reading?
- 52:45.078 --> 52:45.996 Nothing.
- 52:52.752 --> 52:53.628 Whistledown.
- 52:54.921 --> 52:56.214 You are mentioned.
- 53:00.343 --> 53:02.554 [Lady Whistledown] <i>And then there are some</i>
- 53:02.554 --> 53:05.640 <i>who take the embrace of change a step too far,</i>
- 53:06.433 --> 53:08.393 <i>as with Mr. Colin Bridgerton,</i>
- 53:08.393 --> 53:12.355 <i>who seems to have embraced a new personality entirely.</i>
- 53:13.190 --> 53:14.524 <i>But one must wonder,</i>
- 53:14.524 --> 53:17.694 <i>is this new character the real him,</i>
- 53:17.694 --> 53:20.196 <i>or simply a ploy for attention?</i>
- 53:20.697 --> 53:24.201 <i>And does Mr. Bridgerton even know?</i>
- 53:24.201 --> 53:25.827 [music fades out]
- 53:25.827 --> 53:27.037 [clears throat]
- 53:29.039 --> 53:30.081 How are you?
- 53:31.082 --> 53:33.501 I do not care what Lady Whistledown writes about me.
- 53:33.501 --> 53:35.879 But ruining Miss Thompson... I mean, Lady Crane,
- 53:36.755 --> 53:39.090 and then nearly ruining you last season...
- 53:40.258 --> 53:42.260 I will never forgive her.
- 53:42.260 --> 53:44.346 [tense music playing]
- 53:45.597 --> 53:46.431 Do you...
- 53:47.682 --> 53:49.309 have any idea who she might be?
- 53:49.309 --> 53:52.604 I do not. But trust me, if I ever find out,
- 53:52.604 --> 53:55.273 I will make sure it is her life that is ruined.
- 53:55.273 --> 53:57.359 [music intensifies]

- 07:02.295 --> 07:04.757 Она меня возненавидела.
