[Ellen] Previously...

[Mrs. Fitz] Ellen MacKenzie,

there's something
special about you.

[Ellen] Then why are they
marrying me off

to Malcolm Grant?

[Brian] If I had to bargain
with the devil himself

to spend a moment more
with you, I would.

There will be more
obstacles ahead.

[Malcolm]
Our laird, Isaac Grant.

How would you like
to be my new bladier ?

Very well, then.

I couldn't help but notice that
you've been asking for a woman.

Perhaps we could help
each other.

I'll send word when I find her.

Whatever the cost, I would pay.

Have you anything to confess?

You're with child.

[Julia] I was foolish to think

I could escape
from here, Henry.

But I'm determined that
our baby will live.

So forgive me
for what I'm about to do.

Come and warm yourself,
my English rose.

Oh, goodness me.

[Davina]
Oh, for goodness' sake.

For all that's holy,
what have you done now?

No use crying over spilt milk.

Maybe not.

But always worth giving thanks
to the Gruagach for it,

whether you've milked
the cow yourself or not.

You did remember
to thank the Gruagach?

I thanked the woman
who brought it,

if that's what you mean.

That's not what I mean.

That will be why
you've spilt it.

You've angered the faery-folk.

Oh, I see. I am- I am sorry.

[Davina] As you should be.

I canna have any mischief
from the faery-folk.

There's far too much work
to be done as it is.

And the Laird's expected home
from his business in Edinburgh.

He's due back to Leathers?

Aye, all being well.

Oh.

I- I was under the impression
that he'd be away longer.

[Davina] Well,
your impression was wrong,

though why you should take
any such notion at all

is beyond me.

The Laird is not obliged
to keep a maidservant

apprised of his
personal affairs.

And at this rate,
there'll be nothing for him

to eat or drink but this milk,

if it hasna soured
by the time he arrives.

Useless as a burnt bannock
you are, sometimes, I swear.

Should I go
and leave an offering

at the old milking stone?

I- Is that the custom?

I saw it when I was
gathering berries.

You can try,
though 'tis likely too late.

We have already incurred
the faeries' wrath.

Go and be quick about it.

My parents taught me to put

J.M. Barrie wrote "That

"for the first time, its laugh
broke into 1,000 pieces,

"and they all went
skipping about.

And that was the beginning
of faeries."

From that first fluttering of
a faeries wing in my belly,

I used to dream

Well, I didn't want to get
either of our hopes up.

There is a chance he might
offer me my old position

back at the solicitor's firm.

Oh, darling,
that would be wonderful.

Let's just hope a bit
of shrapnel in the back

hasn't affected
my legal abilities.

[Julia] It hasn't.

You'll make little Peter
very proud.

And I hope to make him
equally proud

Of course I am.

It's my son

There was no other letter
from them?

No.

That bladier fellow says that
"without sufficient evidence,

"the MacKenzie interests do not

There's nothing further

"Without sufficient evidence,"
indeed.

What more do they need?

No better than bum fodder

[grunts]

Perhaps they found
no reason to doubt

Miss MacKenzie's virtue.

She's an old maid,

How did she escape

There must be a reason.

Or else why would
her oafish brothers

leap to the conclusion

with Malcolm Grant

I suspect some moral lapse,

some stain upon her honor.

Is that a fight

Tarnished goods is

[Colum] Beltane is

Malcolm Grant has requested

that ye accompany him to
the festival near Inverness,

as his betrothed.

Surely, Dougal objects.

As war chieftain,
he's agreed that

your betrothal is not
his concern.

Although once ye're married,

he may have to involve himself.

I'm sure as laird,
you've got better things to do

than waste time on
such frivolities as a festival.

'Tis true.

A wee bit below my station now.

And Dougal?

I canna imagine
he's too happy about that.

Will he be accompanying me?

You sure you can trust him
around the Grants?

He'll attend a festival
closer to home.

Ned will accompany ye.

Ye'll go,

and make merry with the man.

And ye'll do it
with a smile on your face.

I will not.

And I willna marry him.

I've told you.

Ye ken full well the agreement
that was made at the gathering.

Aye, an agreement made
for a very particular reason.

You needed a Grant alliance
to strengthen the MacKenzies

and secure the lairdship.

You've no further need
of that agreement.

So ye'd have me break
my word to Isaac Grant,

tell him to forget it?

Tell him whatever you must.

Tell him
you've changed your mind,

or that I'm sickly
and in ill health.

Or better yet,
tell him how ill-tempered I am,

and that you made
a terrible mistake

in recommending
your sister for a wife,

that ye'd be saving him
from a life of misery.

I don't care what you tell him.

Have you ever heard
of Graham Finley?

No.

He was betrothed
to Maura Grant.

It was arranged,

the date agreed upon.

Now, Maura isna the bonniest
lass in the county.

And when Finley laid
his eyes on her,

well before the wedding,

he decided he'd look
elsewhere for a bride-

Mary McLeod.

Canna be.

Mary McLeod married
an Erskine--

Ian, I believe.

Aye.

She did,

because Graham Finley couldna,

seeing as he disappeared
into the heather.

So you're saying, if I don't
go through with this marriage,

Isaac Grant will
have me killed?

Do you want
to take that chance?

How could you promise me
to such a family

when you kent all that?

Hold a grudge
if you must, Ellen.

But there's another reason you
must honor this arrangement.

I take no pleasure
in telling you,

but you must ken the truth.

What truth?

You think Da was a saint.

He let you do as you pleased,

and you turned a blind eye
to his faults.

I'm perfectly aware
that he was flawed.

Are you aware, then,

that because of his reckless
and self-serving spending,

that he died with a fraction
of the fortune that he assumed

when he took control
of the clan?

That he left this Earth
with the coffers empty

and his family and clan

on the precipice
of destitution?

That's impossible.

You'd have told me sooner.

I only just learned it myself,

Okay, but I have pledged

maybe have a sip of ale.

[sighs] I canna believe it.

I dinna care how few servants
there are at Leathers.

'Tis a disgrace, sending you
out on your own all this way.

Come with me, you poor dear.

♪♪♪

I feel awful
to trouble you like this,

especially given
the state of relations

between our households.

Oh, 'tis no trouble.

Us servant folk must
look after one another.

Oh, goodness.

Oh. Careful, lass.

Oh.

I do hope I'm not keeping you
from your duties.

Murtagh mentioned you look
after the Lady of the House.

Aye, Lady Ellen.

I should go to her.

She's been up in her chambers
since morning,

barely set foot
outside of them.

Is she unwell?

She's a wee bit heartsick--

soon to be married.

Oh, I see.

'Tis the thought
of leaving her home and such

that's ailing her, most likely.

Well, I'd regret leaving too.

It's lovely here.

When is the happy day?

I willna bore you
with the details, lass.

Dinna fash.
Have a wee rest.

There's an alcove,
just over there.

And when you're well enough,
find Alec at the stables.

He'll bring ye in sight
of Leathers.

[latch clicks]

Lady Ellen, my name is
Julia Beauchamp.

I've been sent by Brian Fraser
to deliver a message.

I dinna ken who
ye're talking about.

I believe you do.

[whispers] Can I come in?

I can deliver his message
here in your chambers

or out here in the corridor
for anyone to overhear.

I'm the bridge.

Is he here? At Leoch?

Yes.
He wants you to meet him.

-I canna go.
-Why not?

Because if my brothers hear
the slightest whisper

of a Fraser hereabouts,
they'll hunt him down.

I swear.

They lay eyes on him,
they'll kill him.

They'll have no mercy.

Well,
then we must avoid detection.

They're watching me,
my every move.

I'm a prisoner in my own home
till Beltane.

May Day?

Aye.

I'm to attend the festival
in Inverness

with Malcolm Grant,
then locked in a dance wi' him

for 100 years if the faeries
have their way.

A 100-year dance?

On Beltane,
otherworldly creatures emerge

to play their music,

luring travelers
to their faerie hill.

There's one such hill
near that festival.

'Tis but a night of dancing
for these travelers.

But when they return home,
they discover that

100 years have passed, and all
they've ever kent is gone.

Henry?

[Ellen] 100 years have passed,

and all they've ever kent
is gone.

This faerie hill,
is it marked by standing stones?

So you know it?

The hill, yes.

I've heard similar stories
in the past.

Perhaps it would be better
if the faeries did take me.

You may not have a say
in what others do,

but you have a say
in what you do tonight.

I know what it is to be
parted from your true love,

the pain it brings.

I feel it every day.

And I sense it in you.

[soft music plays]

You love Brian Fraser,
don't you?

With my whole heart.

Then go to him.

Many search their entire lives

for the kind of love
you've found.

Rarely do they succeed.

If you don't go,
it'll haunt you forever.

Trust me.

Ellen MacKenzie?

What's it matter to you?
I'm not going anywhere.

I couldna sleep,

I dinna want any walls
between me and the Lord.

Join me.

Maybe the Lord will
forgive us both our sins.

[scoffs] Thank you, but no.

I'm too fond of my sins
to give them up.

Which sin was it tonight, then?

The lassie with the ruby lips?

Or the one
with the sapphire eyes?

The Lord can hear ye
well enough in yer chambers.

I'm not a caged bird.

[chuckles]

Oh, but ye are,

until ye're married
to Malcolm Grant.

Then 'tis his choice
whether to set you free.

-Let go!

Enough.

[birds chirping]

Thank you.

Good luck.

Is it true what I heard?

That if I win, I willna have

[Henry] That's right.

How many tickets will I get
for a sixpence?

I think I can manage that.

Sixpence.

One, two, three.

Best of luck to you
and your family.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Everyone will have

I'm sorry you didn't get
more time with her.

Least now I have a chance
to see her again at Beltane.

There is a slight complication.

She'll be attending
with Malcolm Grant.

I see.

You'll need someone
to liaise with Ellen

and to distract Grant.

Are you offerin'
to be that person?

I want to help you.

But in return,

I need your help.

I promised I'd help you escape.

Yes.

But you see, my husband and I
were parted near Inverness.

You think he's there?

You never told me
how you were separated.

Well...
[sighs]

...it's hard to explain.

If the Beltane festival
is held near Inverness,

and you could take me there,

perhaps I could find Henry.

I hope so.

We have a bargain.

Everybody I could think of.

You can add anybody
I may have missed.

Why the sudden change of heart?

[Ellen] I thought about our
conversation, your warning.

And nothing is worth
this chasm between us.

I've lost Da.

I canna lose you too,
my bràthair.

And nor can I let our clan
fall into ruin.

So if you truly think

that marriage to Malcolm Grant
is for the best...

I do.

[Isaac]
It has come to my attention

that ye didna follow
my instructions.

Explain yerself.

Well, it's not the first
such scheme in history,

and it--it won't be the last.

A lottery is a way
to raise money

in a short period of time.

I explicitly told you
to raise the rent.

For your coffers, Laird.

[bag clunks]

It's more than double
the amount

that you requested
with the increase.

More than double?

Your tenants paid
for their tickets willingly,

and their admiration for you
will only grow

when you announce the prize.

What prize?

A year with no rents paid.

Hear me when I say:

I willna allow anyone
to forgo payin' rent.

But, sir,
we have managed to obtain

the increase that you demanded.

And there is enough left

to cover the rents
for this quarter.

This will be
a gesture of goodwill

that could ease their burdens.

It's not my fault you decided
to play the saint.

Their suffering will be
on your head.

Perhaps.

But you should consider
the longer shadow

that it casts.

If they suffer, in their eyes,
it won't just be my doing.

Yours will be the hand
that refused them aid

in their hour of need.

But of course, you can

You'll learn.

Highlanders respect strength
