1
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:23,023
[bright and lively music plays]
2
00:00:23,106 --> 00:00:25,608
-[horses neighing]
-[bustling street chatter]
3
00:00:50,175 --> 00:00:52,677
[music calms and continues casually]
4
00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:56,848
The platters more to the left.
No, those flowers off to the side.
5
00:00:56,931 --> 00:00:58,141
Yes, ma'am.
6
00:00:58,224 --> 00:00:59,392
[Violet] Um…
7
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:00,810
Mrs. Wilson? I--
8
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,479
There is another batch in the oven.
9
00:01:02,562 --> 00:01:05,440
The girls will need something warm
after a fortnight in a carriage.
10
00:01:05,523 --> 00:01:07,525
Precisely. Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.
11
00:01:16,451 --> 00:01:18,953
[music picks up and intensifies]
12
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:24,084
Very well, then,
I need scones and the napkins--
13
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:27,420
Scones are just out,
and napkins are pressed and ready for you.
14
00:01:31,341 --> 00:01:33,343
[bell jingling]
15
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,763
Our Princess Hyacinth has risen.
16
00:01:36,846 --> 00:01:39,516
I noticed a bootprint in the entry hall.
17
00:01:41,017 --> 00:01:42,227
[kitchen staff] Dammit!
18
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:54,697
Ma'am.
19
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:57,367
[bell jingling]
20
00:01:57,450 --> 00:01:58,993
[music comes to a halt]
21
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:00,286
They're here.
22
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:02,622
[up-tempo music resumes]
23
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:08,128
[light instrumental music playing]
24
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:23,101
Welcome home, Miss Bridgerton.
25
00:02:23,184 --> 00:02:24,269
Good day, John.
26
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:27,897
Oh, it is good to be home.
27
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:30,859
Have you forgotten Scotland so quickly?
28
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:33,945
I am sure
we all miss Kilmartin Castle greatly.
29
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:37,031
Oh.
30
00:02:37,657 --> 00:02:40,160
-Though I am glad to be home as well.
-[laughs lightly]
31
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:47,667
-Is that Daddy?
-[Colin chuckles] Yeah.
32
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:50,962
Oh, thank you.
That's perfect, just like you.
33
00:02:51,045 --> 00:02:52,839
Are you not perfect, Elliott?
34
00:02:52,922 --> 00:02:54,257
-Just like his mother.
-[laughs]
35
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:55,550
[Violet chuckles] Aww…
36
00:02:55,633 --> 00:02:57,093
-Come here.
-[exclaiming]
37
00:02:57,677 --> 00:03:00,430
I shall hold Lord Featherington.
38
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:04,392
We do not want anyone spilling tea
on the heir to our great name.
39
00:03:04,475 --> 00:03:05,935
[chuckling]
40
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:07,145
And there you are!
41
00:03:07,228 --> 00:03:10,064
You have returned
just in time to break our fast.
42
00:03:11,649 --> 00:03:13,359
Oh, Penelope, I have missed you.
43
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:15,737
Oh, El! Oh… how was Scotland?
44
00:03:15,820 --> 00:03:16,779
[clears throat]
45
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,657
There are not nearly enough people
in Scotland, Pen.
46
00:03:19,741 --> 00:03:22,410
-I had to take to talking to sheep.
-[both laughing]
47
00:03:22,493 --> 00:03:24,871
Could you not just eat his cheeks?
48
00:03:24,954 --> 00:03:28,124
They're sweet as long as you are not
the one who has to look after them
49
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:29,667
and mind their cries.
50
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:33,129
I, for one, am glad
the viscountess had her baby in India.
51
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:34,255
Mrs. Wilson!
52
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:37,467
I cannot wait to meet
the little heir when they return.
53
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:39,510
We have certainly needed more boys.
54
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:42,555
It's getting rather girlish around here
with Gregory off at Eton.
55
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,015
As if you mind.
56
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:47,435
I would not count on Miss Bridgerton
to have young men around,
57
00:03:47,518 --> 00:03:51,981
but if Miss Hyacinth has her way,
she shall make her debut any day now.
58
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:54,442
Mama finally let me lower my hems.
59
00:03:54,525 --> 00:03:55,652
Did she?
60
00:03:55,735 --> 00:03:57,320
[baby cooing]
61
00:03:57,403 --> 00:03:59,614
[Colin exclaiming and laughing]
62
00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:03,660
[Penelope] Say hello. "Auntie Eloise, hi!"
63
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:05,578
Hello.
64
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:10,124
Is everything well, ma'am?
65
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:11,918
Oh, everything is perfect.
66
00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:13,586
It should be perfect.
67
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:16,172
It would be perfect if--
Where is Benedict?
68
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,643
Please, fetch my carriage.
69
00:04:29,978 --> 00:04:30,979
Of course.
70
00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:35,191
[up-tempo music playing]
71
00:04:35,858 --> 00:04:37,568
Stop! Whoa!
72
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:52,166
Lady Bridgerton, are you sure
you wouldn't prefer for me to fetch him?
73
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,336
You've had to fetch him for me
one too many times these last months.
74
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:58,172
Perhaps if he is awakened
from his inebriated slumber
75
00:04:58,256 --> 00:05:01,175
by the face of his mother,
he will learn to be on time for once.
76
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:04,554
-Lady Bridgerton.
-I require an audience with my son.
77
00:05:04,637 --> 00:05:07,765
Unfortunately, the room is
in a state of disarray, ma'am.
78
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:10,184
Perhaps we should send a maid in first.
79
00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:13,021
I assure you, I have often witnessed
Benedict's disarray.
80
00:05:13,521 --> 00:05:14,355
Move!
81
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:21,362
On second thought, do fetch a maid.
82
00:05:22,113 --> 00:05:23,031
Or two.
83
00:05:24,449 --> 00:05:25,658
Benedict Bridgerton!
84
00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:26,743
Oh, my word!
85
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:27,702
[Benedict groans]
86
00:05:27,785 --> 00:05:30,830
-Where is your chaperone, young lady?
-Mother? How are you here?
87
00:05:30,913 --> 00:05:34,459
Good Lord, Hatch, draw back the curtains.
It is time for my son to wake up.
88
00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:36,419
No, please do not. [groans]
89
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:38,713
Ugh, that is so bright.
90
00:05:38,796 --> 00:05:40,757
-Dear God.
-Who are you?
91
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,133
-I am…
-We really should not…
92
00:05:42,216 --> 00:05:44,927
No, it does not signify who I am,
because I am leaving.
93
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:46,721
-Mother!
-That is your mother?
94
00:05:46,804 --> 00:05:49,182
-Mm-hm.
-We shall have a discussion later. John?
95
00:06:01,194 --> 00:06:02,320
[music ends]
96
00:06:02,403 --> 00:06:03,404
[sighs]
97
00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:05,698
[theme music playing]
98
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:06,384
[music ends]
99
00:07:06,467 --> 00:07:07,593
Come on, boy!
100
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:12,348
A letter from the solicitor asking
101
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:15,518
if you should like to continue
the family's investment in copper.
102
00:07:16,477 --> 00:07:18,438
{\an8}I remember the viscount
was quite insistent
103
00:07:18,521 --> 00:07:20,314
{\an8}it was a wise investment.
104
00:07:20,815 --> 00:07:21,774
{\an8}Very well, then.
105
00:07:22,358 --> 00:07:23,609
{\an8}Letters from the tenants.
106
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:27,363
{\an8}Mr. Boyle writes to ask for a loan
to reinforce his cattle fence.
107
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:29,449
{\an8}-Of course.
-Are you certain, Mr. Bridgerton?
108
00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:32,994
The viscount would not usually grant
such a request until the finances
109
00:07:33,077 --> 00:07:35,121
for the tenants are on secure footing.
110
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:44,338
{\an8}I shall be…
111
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:47,091
{\an8}elsewhere.
112
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:52,972
{\an8}Mother.
113
00:07:56,350 --> 00:07:57,351
{\an8}I apologize.
114
00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:00,229
For what?
115
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:04,442
For constantly missing family events
or turning up late?
116
00:08:04,525 --> 00:08:07,737
Usually smelling of liquor?
Taking advantage of my forgiving nature?
117
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:10,364
Or for debauching yourself
so much so this summer
118
00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:14,994
that apparently you have ended up
with not one but two mistresses.
119
00:08:15,077 --> 00:08:17,788
What happens if one
of these mistresses gets with child?
120
00:08:17,872 --> 00:08:19,123
They are not my mistresses.
121
00:08:19,207 --> 00:08:21,542
-They are simply acquaintances.
-That is even worse!
122
00:08:21,626 --> 00:08:23,878
Mother, I am careful.
123
00:08:23,961 --> 00:08:26,297
The fact that you find this
a laughing matter.
124
00:08:26,380 --> 00:08:29,509
You still have two sisters who must marry,
125
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:32,470
and their fate depends
on the family reputation.
126
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:34,805
Do you not even consider it?
127
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:37,183
Anthony must consider it.
Anthony is the viscount.
128
00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:39,268
His reputation secures
the Bridgerton name.
129
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:40,853
I am merely a second son.
130
00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:42,438
Who also must marry someday.
131
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:46,901
Who will need to seek approval
of the father of an eligible young lady.
132
00:08:46,984 --> 00:08:49,529
Which requires you
to be a gentleman and not a…
133
00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:52,532
-A rake.
-Language, Mother.
134
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:55,368
You will make yourself unwell
if you carry on as you have.
135
00:08:55,451 --> 00:08:58,079
My health is my concern,
and you needn't worry about my reputation.
136
00:08:58,162 --> 00:09:00,748
-It is unlikely I will ever marry.
-Benedict Bridgerton!
137
00:09:00,831 --> 00:09:04,710
I am only saying the eligible ladies
of the ton, many of them are lovely,
138
00:09:04,794 --> 00:09:06,837
but they all have
the same dream of marriage.
139
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:11,050
They display no true animation,
no zest for life, no personality.
140
00:09:11,133 --> 00:09:14,220
I am charting a more venturesome course
outside good society.
141
00:09:14,303 --> 00:09:17,098
In doing so, I am being true to myself.
Is not that the point?
142
00:09:17,181 --> 00:09:18,933
Should not that be enough for you?
143
00:09:23,354 --> 00:09:24,313
Please.
144
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:26,399
[solemn music rises slowly]
145
00:09:33,197 --> 00:09:36,534
No, absolutely not. You simply
have not met the right young lady yet.
146
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:40,162
And you never will
if you don't settle down and join society.
147
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:41,706
-Enough is enough.
-Mother!
148
00:09:41,789 --> 00:09:43,124
Enough, Benedict!
149
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:47,712
You wish to be true to yourself,
then be who you are,
150
00:09:47,795 --> 00:09:49,589
a member of this family.
151
00:09:49,672 --> 00:09:50,673
[soft music playing]
152
00:09:50,756 --> 00:09:54,885
All the eyes of the ton
will be on us hosting the first ball.
153
00:09:54,969 --> 00:09:58,889
So, please, do not humiliate me.
154
00:10:00,182 --> 00:10:03,311
And, um… be on time.
155
00:10:07,398 --> 00:10:08,733
-[music ends]
-[door shuts]
156
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:13,738
[inquisitive music playing]
157
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:35,009
-Where is she?
-[dog yips]
158
00:10:35,092 --> 00:10:37,511
You have only just sent for her,
Your Majesty.
159
00:10:37,595 --> 00:10:38,929
-[music stops]
-[huffs]
160
00:10:39,013 --> 00:10:42,808
Have you yet decided whether
you will attend Lady Bridgerton's ball?
161
00:10:42,892 --> 00:10:44,518
-It is a masquerade.
-[sighs]
162
00:10:44,602 --> 00:10:47,563
I have no interest in dressing
as someone other than myself.
163
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:51,442
[huffs] How long does it take
for one to arrive at the palace?
164
00:10:51,942 --> 00:10:53,152
She is late.
165
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:55,363
-[Lady Danbury] Well…
-[barks]
166
00:10:55,446 --> 00:10:58,658
…your presence would mean
a great deal to Lady Bridgerton
167
00:10:58,741 --> 00:11:02,328
in confirming her as the new hostess
of the season's first ball.
168
00:11:02,411 --> 00:11:05,498
Why is Lady Bridgerton hosting
the first ball instead of you?
169
00:11:05,581 --> 00:11:06,957
Well… [scoffs]
170
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:12,171
Lady Whistledown, Your Majesty.
171
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:14,757
[light music playing]
172
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:33,609
Your Majesty.
173
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:36,278
Mrs. Bridgerton, you are late.
174
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:38,781
-You have only just sent for me.
-Late!
175
00:11:40,741 --> 00:11:43,494
My deepest apologies.
176
00:11:45,413 --> 00:11:46,288
Well,
177
00:11:47,331 --> 00:11:48,999
we begin another season,
178
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,419
this time as great friends.
179
00:11:52,128 --> 00:11:55,965
And it shall stay that way
as long as you bring me great gossip.
180
00:11:56,048 --> 00:11:57,258
I shall certainly try.
181
00:11:58,092 --> 00:11:59,009
Very well.
182
00:12:00,219 --> 00:12:04,974
I should like a foretaste before
your first issue is distributed today.
183
00:12:06,058 --> 00:12:06,892
I…
184
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:12,189
Of course, Your Majesty.
185
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:18,946
Tomorrow night,
the social season shall begin,
186
00:12:19,029 --> 00:12:20,948
but things might look a little different--
187
00:12:21,031 --> 00:12:22,908
No, Mrs. Bridgerton.
188
00:12:23,909 --> 00:12:26,036
You must begin how it begins,
189
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,539
the proper way.
190
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:32,585
Oh.
191
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,421
Yes, Your Majesty.
192
00:12:37,798 --> 00:12:39,258
Dearest Gentle Reader…
193
00:12:39,341 --> 00:12:40,551
[giddy laughter]
194
00:12:41,177 --> 00:12:43,888
[Lady Whistledown] Dearest Gentle Reader,
195
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:49,518
tomorrow night, the social season begins,
196
00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:55,775
but it might look a little differentfrom what our fair ton has come to expect.
197
00:12:55,858 --> 00:13:01,238
Because tomorrow nightis Lady Bridgerton's masquerade ball,
198
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:06,577
an event sure to transportits guests into fantasy.
199
00:13:08,245 --> 00:13:09,622
[light music playing]
200
00:13:09,705 --> 00:13:13,918
And the Luton footman told me
that Lord Harley has a weekly rendezvous
201
00:13:14,001 --> 00:13:15,711
with Lady Luton every Friday.
202
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,296
Oh, the Queen will relish that.
203
00:13:17,379 --> 00:13:20,299
And if I print it,
Lady Luton's daughters will be ruined.
204
00:13:20,382 --> 00:13:21,550
[sighs]
205
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:24,136
[knock at door]
206
00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:26,138
Am I interrupting?
207
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:28,224
[Lady Featherington] No, not at all.
208
00:13:28,307 --> 00:13:29,975
My dear son.
209
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:38,651
How was the Queen?
210
00:13:39,235 --> 00:13:40,486
Terrifying.
211
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:42,988
She made me recite my column from memory.
212
00:13:43,072 --> 00:13:45,241
-I'm certain you were superb.
-[chuckles]
213
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:50,329
Now, can I help you take your mind off
Whistledown for a little while?
214
00:13:50,412 --> 00:13:51,997
That is most kind of you.
215
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:57,169
[Lady Whistledown]
Behind the cover of a mask,
216
00:13:58,796 --> 00:14:02,383
we are free to be anyone we so choose…
217
00:14:03,592 --> 00:14:06,011
I'm feeling rather powerful tonight.
218
00:14:06,095 --> 00:14:09,390
Perhaps I shall go dressed
as the Duke of Wellington tomorrow.
219
00:14:09,473 --> 00:14:12,059
Well then, I shall have to overpower you
220
00:14:12,142 --> 00:14:13,811
and go dressed as the Queen.
221
00:14:13,894 --> 00:14:16,438
Which queen could possibly
222
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:19,942
overpower our great war hero?
223
00:14:20,025 --> 00:14:23,404
Perhaps Queen Margaret,
the one who said, "Off with his head."
224
00:14:23,487 --> 00:14:28,701
[Lady Whistledown] …and free to makethe acquaintance of anyone we so desire.
225
00:14:28,784 --> 00:14:30,953
[energetic music playing]
226
00:14:41,964 --> 00:14:43,757
All that is certain
227
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:49,138
is that a masqueradeis like no other event.
228
00:14:54,226 --> 00:14:56,645
Prepare yourself, gentle reader…
229
00:15:05,529 --> 00:15:08,157
for anything can happen.
230
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,242
[expectant music rises]
231
00:15:12,661 --> 00:15:13,913
[music fades]
232

[relaxed upbeat instrumental plays]
233
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:33,599
Port?
234
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:35,351
[indistinct chattering]
235
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:37,603
-[glass shatters]
-[laughing men cheer]
236
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:02,252
Louis.
237
00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:05,422
Hmm. You look well.
238
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:06,674
Of course I do.
239
00:16:07,341 --> 00:16:08,384
As do you.
240
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:11,804
Mm-mm. I cannot tonight.
241
00:16:11,887 --> 00:16:13,472
[scoffs] Of course.
242
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:19,061
You are meant to attend some sort
of shocking society event, surely?
243
00:16:19,144 --> 00:16:21,438
-My mother's shocking society event.
-Ah.
244
00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:24,149
I've only come for a dose
of merriment to sustain me.
245
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:26,193
I cannot stay long.
246
00:16:26,276 --> 00:16:28,445
Well, I do not need you for a long time.
247
00:16:29,029 --> 00:16:33,784
And much merriment can be had
in a rather short time.
248
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:43,252
[up-tempo strings playing]
249
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:44,545
[sizzling]
250
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:47,881
[quick string music builds]
251
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:54,722
Those bouquets…
Upstairs, flanking the musicians.
252
00:16:54,805 --> 00:16:57,016
The navy linens on the small tables and--
253
00:16:57,099 --> 00:16:58,392
Oh dear.
254
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:00,936
Where the devil is that going?
255
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:02,646
On the dessert table by the door.
256
00:17:02,730 --> 00:17:05,357
The one I told you
not to put so close to the…
257
00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:07,860
Why have the dance cards
not been laid out upstairs?
258
00:17:07,943 --> 00:17:09,403
We decided not to bring them up.
259
00:17:09,486 --> 00:17:12,156
We thought the point
of the evening was concealment.
260
00:17:12,239 --> 00:17:13,866
The point of the evening
261
00:17:13,949 --> 00:17:17,244
is to try to hide one's identity
by costume or mask.
262
00:17:17,327 --> 00:17:19,913
Not that many succeed,
but they still must dance.
263
00:17:19,997 --> 00:17:23,751
-[chuckling] But Mrs. Wilson…
-They will write down their costume names.
264
00:17:24,918 --> 00:17:26,587
Will they stay masked all evening?
265
00:17:26,670 --> 00:17:28,213
Until the clock strikes midnight.
266
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:29,506
Sounds thrilling.
267
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:30,591
Thrilling for them.
268
00:17:31,675 --> 00:17:32,968
Chaos for us.
269
00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:39,058
-[music ends]
-[sighs softly]
270
00:17:39,141 --> 00:17:41,018

272

[exhales sharply]
273
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:26,438
I can do this. I can do this.
274
00:18:26,522 --> 00:18:27,898
[driver] Gate!
275
00:18:27,981 --> 00:18:30,442
[uplifting instrumental music builds]

[light chatter and laughter]
278
00:18:58,262 --> 00:18:59,847
We have arrived, my lady.
279
00:19:17,489 --> 00:19:19,408
There is a large group arriving.
280
00:19:20,033 --> 00:19:22,035
Just conceal yourself behind them.
281
00:19:22,661 --> 00:19:24,663
And just be out by midnight.
282
00:19:26,456 --> 00:19:30,210

[music resumes tempo]
287
00:20:18,175 --> 00:20:19,009
My lady.
288
00:20:20,886 --> 00:20:21,720
My lady?
289
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:23,805
Yes.
290
00:20:24,681 --> 00:20:29,061
Forgive me,
I came in with that rather large group.
291
00:20:29,144 --> 00:20:30,229
Of course.
292
00:20:30,312 --> 00:20:33,232
I am certain we have given them
their dance cards as well.
293
00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:34,274
Oh.
294
00:20:34,358 --> 00:20:35,692
Yes, of course.
295
00:20:38,695 --> 00:20:42,074
Would you like me to tie it on,
instead of your chaperone?
296
00:20:42,157 --> 00:20:43,325
Oh, no. [quick laugh]
297
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:45,244
I have lost them.
298
00:20:46,161 --> 00:20:47,871
There are many, but I will…
299
00:20:49,706 --> 00:20:50,749
Thank you.
300
00:20:50,832 --> 00:20:52,042
[laughs sharply]
301
00:20:56,964 --> 00:20:58,799
Is this what a ball is like?
302
00:20:58,882 --> 00:21:01,426
I did not expect so many shoulders.
303
00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:04,346
How many balls exactly
do we attend this season?
304
00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:05,764
I think I shall like society.
305
00:21:05,847 --> 00:21:08,517
Young ladies are not meant
to ramble on, Posy.
306
00:21:10,394 --> 00:21:12,562
[elegant ballroom dance song continues]
307
00:21:45,429 --> 00:21:46,305
Glorious.
308
00:21:54,646 --> 00:21:57,858
Thank you so much for coming.
And please, enjoy yourselves.

-[Violet laughs]
-[chuckling warmly]
312
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:11,913
This is a very fine party.

-Lady Danbury.
-Hmm.

00:22:13,623 --> 00:22:14,541
[chuckles lightly]
315
00:22:14,624 --> 00:22:17,210
-Are you certain you have no regrets?
-Not one bit.
316
00:22:17,294 --> 00:22:20,756
Hosting the first ball of the season
has always meant a great deal to me,
317
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:23,842
but I am looking forward to stepping back.
318
00:22:23,925 --> 00:22:26,053
-Mm-hm.
-Who is missing?
319
00:22:26,136 --> 00:22:27,095
[both] Benedict.
320
00:22:27,179 --> 00:22:28,722
It seems he is late again.
321
00:22:28,805 --> 00:22:30,307
-Ah.
-[both laugh]
322
00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:31,308
Ladies.
323
00:22:31,391 --> 00:22:32,601
[laughs incredulously]
324
00:22:32,684 --> 00:22:34,978
-Are we…?
-You are matching.
325
00:22:35,062 --> 00:22:37,230
Who exactly do you think you are?
326
00:22:37,314 --> 00:22:39,149
-I am Zeus.
-[Lady Danbury laughs]
327
00:22:39,232 --> 00:22:41,443
-Are you Hera?
-I most certainly am not.
328
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:43,320
I… am Zeus.
329
00:22:43,403 --> 00:22:47,199
Perhaps the Greek gods
would still be in charge up there
330
00:22:47,282 --> 00:22:49,910
if Zeus had been a woman.
331
00:22:49,993 --> 00:22:51,495
I think we look rather good.
332
00:22:51,578 --> 00:22:53,288
I could not agree more.
333
00:22:54,289 --> 00:22:55,374
[both chuckle softly]
334
00:22:55,457 --> 00:22:57,959

[indistinct conversations]
336
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:08,595
Mm, this will be an amusing night.
337
00:23:08,678 --> 00:23:09,554
Indeed.
338
00:23:10,430 --> 00:23:12,891
Though, if you see any vipers,
339
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:15,060
let us make haste for home.
340
00:23:16,103 --> 00:23:17,354
[stifled laughter]
341
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:23,193
Are those Bridgertons
I see behind those masks?
342
00:23:23,276 --> 00:23:24,486
[dance music ends]
343
00:23:24,569 --> 00:23:27,072
Pardon me,
I unfortunately must find my son.
344
00:23:27,155 --> 00:23:28,532
[all laugh politely]
345
00:23:28,615 --> 00:23:30,450
[indistinct chattering]
346
00:23:34,037 --> 00:23:35,622
[mouthing] Benedict.
347
00:23:35,705 --> 00:23:38,208
Her Royal Highness, the Queen.
348
00:23:38,291 --> 00:23:40,293
[hushed silence falls]
349

[quick, bright string music plays]
350
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:50,762
Bring her to me.
351
00:23:57,769 --> 00:23:59,563
Your Majesty.
352
00:24:12,492 --> 00:24:13,452
Oh, well done.
353
00:24:13,535 --> 00:24:17,330
Bridgertons, where might I locate
the Honorable Mrs. Colin Bridgerton?
354
00:24:33,054 --> 00:24:34,848
Mrs. Bridgerton, I am here.
355
00:24:34,931 --> 00:24:38,685
It is so generous of you to grace us
with your presence tonight, Your Majesty.
356
00:24:38,768 --> 00:24:39,769
-[music ends]
-Well?
357
00:24:39,853 --> 00:24:42,939
[hesitates] Your Majesty,
the season has only just begun.
358
00:24:44,191 --> 00:24:47,944
But I am… sure we will find a debutante
or two tonight for you to champion.
359
00:24:48,028 --> 00:24:50,197
I tire of debutantes.
360
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,407
They have been so unreliable in the past.
361
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:57,621
Let us turn our attention this year
instead to offering up a leading suitor
362
00:24:57,704 --> 00:24:59,498
to fire the competition.
363
00:24:59,581 --> 00:25:00,790
Oh. Uh…
364
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:03,335
[hesitates] Certainly. Uh…
365
00:25:03,418 --> 00:25:05,378
[inquisitive music plays]
366
00:25:05,462 --> 00:25:06,546
[Penelope] Oh, um…
367
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:08,507
Lord Napier has said he will marry.
368
00:25:08,590 --> 00:25:09,758
He is rather handsome.
369
00:25:11,134 --> 00:25:13,470
But also exceptionally dull,
unfortunately.
370
00:25:13,553 --> 00:25:15,514
Ah… Who else?
371
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:17,474
[Penelope] Mr. Frye might be eligible.
372
00:25:17,557 --> 00:25:18,725
If one squints.
373
00:25:19,434 --> 00:25:21,436
-What of him?
-Baron Hamilton.
374
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,730
[scoffs] Not nearly rich enough, I fear.
375
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:27,817
Is there anyone here
worthy of my interest?
376
00:25:27,901 --> 00:25:28,985
[Penelope] Um…
377
00:25:29,569 --> 00:25:30,695
[music fades]
378
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:32,280
[scattered talking]
379
00:25:33,657 --> 00:25:34,658
Coming through.
380
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:38,578
Has anyone seen Mr. Bridgerton?
381
00:25:38,662 --> 00:25:41,665
[spirited music playing]
382
00:25:47,921 --> 00:25:50,090
-Good evening, ladies.
-[lady] Good evening.
383
00:25:50,173 --> 00:25:51,716
[hushed chatter and giggling]
384
00:25:55,011 --> 00:25:56,930
[lady giggles] Mr. Bridgerton.
385
00:25:59,307 --> 00:26:00,350
Thank you.
386
00:26:00,850 --> 00:26:01,810
Thank you.
387
00:26:04,646 --> 00:26:05,647
[music fades]
388
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:08,233
[mid-tempo classical dance music playing]
389
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:12,571
[overlapping conversations]
390
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:19,619
Benedict.
391
00:26:20,495 --> 00:26:21,580
Hello, Mother.
392
00:26:21,663 --> 00:26:24,874
You are two hours late, yet again.
393
00:26:25,375 --> 00:26:27,836
-You were meant to chaperone Eloise.
-I have been here.
394
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:29,879
Perhaps you did not recognize me
in my mask.
395
00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:33,717
I do not believe that we are serving gin,
and yet I can smell it all over you.
396
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,635
Good to see nothing has changed here.
397
00:26:35,719 --> 00:26:37,053
-Eloise!
-[laughs]
398
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:41,975
How is it you are the one late and rumpled
when I traveled from the Highlands?
399
00:26:42,058 --> 00:26:44,853
I had to go
to my bachelor lodgings to change.
400
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:47,063
Are timeliness and neatness
not old-fashioned?
401
00:26:47,147 --> 00:26:49,316
-Same old Benedict.
-Perhaps not tonight.
402
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:51,568
Tonight we can be anyone we want.
403
00:26:51,651 --> 00:26:54,821
Well, if by anyone you mean someone
who will speak to those debutantes…
404
00:26:54,904 --> 00:26:57,782
-Mother!
-I have planned this carefully.
405
00:26:57,866 --> 00:27:01,119
Your very presence here implies to the ton
that you are back in society.
406
00:27:01,202 --> 00:27:03,913
Now you must make it a fact
by speaking with the debutantes.
407
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:05,832
-I have only just--
-Debutantes.
408
00:27:05,915 --> 00:27:06,916
Now.
409
00:27:11,921 --> 00:27:14,674
Good evening, ladies.
You all look exceptionally lovely tonight.
410
00:27:14,758 --> 00:27:17,677
Mr. Bridgerton,
your disguise tonight is superb.
411
00:27:17,761 --> 00:27:20,055
Is it?
And yet you recognize me immediately.
412
00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:23,266
Well, I could discern
the Bridgerton build from anywhere.
413
00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:25,352
You brothers do all look so much alike.
414
00:27:25,435 --> 00:27:26,603
Ah.
415
00:27:27,145 --> 00:27:28,438
Yes. [chuckles]
416
00:27:28,938 --> 00:27:31,650
You are number two. Yes.
417
00:27:31,733 --> 00:27:33,276
-That is my name.
-[chuckles]
418
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:35,362
And yet you are the last unmarried.
419
00:27:35,445 --> 00:27:37,447
Have you any thoughts
of that ever changing?
420
00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:39,532
You must not forget about Gregory. Mm?
421
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:41,993
In fact, are you quite certain
I am not him?
422
00:27:42,077 --> 00:27:43,453
[chuckles]
423
00:27:43,536 --> 00:27:44,537
[clears throat]
424
00:27:45,455 --> 00:27:47,874
There… There-- There is Mr. Lewis.
425
00:27:47,957 --> 00:27:49,918
He might be a catch, but, um…
426
00:27:50,627 --> 00:27:52,295
he tends to smell, so…
427
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:56,299
[woman] Lady Bridgerton.
428
00:27:58,510 --> 00:27:59,511
Oh…
429
00:28:00,053 --> 00:28:01,054
Lady Penwood.
430
00:28:01,638 --> 00:28:03,848
-Welcome.
-It is a fine evening.
431
00:28:03,932 --> 00:28:05,934
Oh, indeed. [chuckles]
432
00:28:08,311 --> 00:28:09,312
[clears throat]
433
00:28:09,896 --> 00:28:11,940
We have not seen much of you lately.
434
00:28:12,482 --> 00:28:16,986
No. I have absented myself from society
since my husbands' deaths.
435
00:28:17,070 --> 00:28:18,697
The first and the second.
436
00:28:19,406 --> 00:28:21,408
-Husbands, that is.
-Of course.
437
00:28:21,491 --> 00:28:24,369
Viscount Li and then the Earl of Penwood.
438
00:28:24,452 --> 00:28:26,454
I am so sorry for your losses.
439
00:28:30,250 --> 00:28:31,960
And are these your daughters?
440
00:28:32,043 --> 00:28:33,253
[Lady Penwood] They are.
441
00:28:33,336 --> 00:28:35,797
They have recently made their debuts.
442
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,300
May I present my daughter,
Miss Rosamund Li.
443
00:28:39,384 --> 00:28:40,635
It is a fine evening.
444
00:28:41,511 --> 00:28:43,930
And this is Miss Posy.
445
00:28:44,431 --> 00:28:46,224
I am very much enjoying your party.
446
00:28:46,808 --> 00:28:47,976
You are most kind.
447
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,144
How are your children?
448
00:28:49,227 --> 00:28:51,020
Oh, very well, thank you.
449
00:28:51,104 --> 00:28:54,274
Anthony is off in India with his bride.
Colin and Penelope…
450
00:28:54,357 --> 00:28:56,568
Do you think you will succeed this season?
451
00:28:57,318 --> 00:28:58,403
Excuse me?
452
00:28:58,486 --> 00:29:00,697
In persuading your second son
to take a wife.
453
00:29:02,532 --> 00:29:04,743
I… cannot say. [chuckles]
454
00:29:05,326 --> 00:29:08,913
Well, you know how young men are.
So unpredictable. Well, please.
455
00:29:08,997 --> 00:29:09,956
[laughs]
456
00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:11,666
Enjoy yourselves.
457
00:29:15,211 --> 00:29:17,088
Did you study
your miniatures this morning?
458
00:29:17,172 --> 00:29:18,548
[Rosamund] Mm.
459
00:29:18,631 --> 00:29:19,716
There he is.
460
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:21,217
[light classical tune plays]
461
00:29:21,301 --> 00:29:23,261
He is so handsome.
462
00:29:23,344 --> 00:29:24,929
[Lady Penwood] Do not be shallow.
463
00:29:25,555 --> 00:29:27,515
What matters most is his surname.
464
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:30,351
There are rumors of rakish behavior, but
465
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:34,272
everyone knows reformed rakes
make the best husbands.
466
00:29:42,906 --> 00:29:43,865
Cheers.
467
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:49,704
Do you think the fairy
with Lord Arliss is his mistress?
468
00:29:50,205 --> 00:29:53,666
He'd have to be rather bold to bring her
right under the nose of Her Majesty.
469
00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:54,918
And his wife.
470
00:29:55,001 --> 00:29:56,127
[quiet chuckling]
471
00:30:16,564 --> 00:30:19,734
I had thought that the news
of Lord Arliss bringing his mistress
472
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:22,904
would be the most scandalous gossip
I would overhear from the wall.
473
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:26,199
But Miss Eloise Bridgerton
eagerly chatting with debutantes
474
00:30:26,282 --> 00:30:28,159
is the most scandalous news of all.
475
00:30:28,243 --> 00:30:31,246
Why is Penelope Bridgerton
keeping to the wall to begin with?
476
00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:33,665
Penelope Bridgerton is not,
but Whistledown is.
477
00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:36,209
The Queen insists on
great gossip this year.
478
00:30:36,292 --> 00:30:39,671
Then I am surprised you have not had
Lady Whistledown write about Benedict.
479
00:30:39,754 --> 00:30:42,298
She is looking for a gentleman
to champion this year.
480
00:30:42,382 --> 00:30:45,301
The last thing this family needs
is for her to choose Benedict.
481
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:48,096
She will never win,
which will outrage her, and your mother…
482
00:30:48,179 --> 00:30:49,264
My mother will explode
483
00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:52,016
and burst into flames
at the feet of an outraged monarch.
484
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:55,603
For your sake, I do hope you've overheard
something better on the wall. Hm.
485
00:30:56,187 --> 00:30:59,148
I'd thought that after last season
you had your fill of pretending
486
00:30:59,232 --> 00:31:00,650
to be engaging with debutantes.
487
00:31:00,733 --> 00:31:01,943
I do not pretend.
488
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:06,656
Pen, there may not have been
enough people in Scotland,
489
00:31:06,739 --> 00:31:09,075
but time spent amidst so much
490
00:31:09,158 --> 00:31:12,287
astounding natural beauty
did give me considerable time to reflect,
491
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:14,706
and what I realize is
that there is no need
492
00:31:14,789 --> 00:31:17,542
for me to antagonize suitors
or debutantes.
493
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:19,210
I can be entirely pleasant to all.
494
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:21,671
It matters not,
because I have made a decision.
495
00:31:23,214 --> 00:31:25,174
I am on the shelf.
496
00:31:25,258 --> 00:31:27,385
You? On the shelf?
497
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:28,970
-Oh!
-Here we are.
498
00:31:29,053 --> 00:31:30,179
-Why, thank you.
-Here.
499
00:31:30,263 --> 00:31:31,723
[light chuckle]
500
00:31:31,806 --> 00:31:33,808
-How are you?
-[chatting indistinctly]
501
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:35,435
[man clears throat]
502
00:31:35,518 --> 00:31:37,937
[upbeat music plays]
503
00:31:38,021 --> 00:31:39,022
[exhales sharply]4
504
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:53,328
What if we were to stay for the season?
505
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:56,998
What about Scotland?
506
00:31:57,081 --> 00:31:59,542
What about… your cousin?
507
00:31:59,626 --> 00:32:03,546
Yeah, I noticed the two of you kept your
distance from one another this summer.
508
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,425
Which is understandable.
509
00:32:08,635 --> 00:32:13,097
We are newlyweds, and yet we began
our married life together in a home
510
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:15,975
that Michaela considers hers
as much as ours.
511
00:32:17,393 --> 00:32:20,563
Perhaps I should have thought of that
before suggesting it.
512
00:32:22,398 --> 00:32:23,983
We will eventually return to Scotland,
513
00:32:24,067 --> 00:32:27,070
but I should like to make
a contribution to Parliament this year.
514
00:32:28,237 --> 00:32:31,824
We could set up Kilmartin House,
make it just ours,
515
00:32:32,533 --> 00:32:34,285
and you can be closer to your family.
516
00:32:34,369 --> 00:32:36,454
Yes, I would love it. Thank you.
517
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:42,752
-Benedict Bridgerton is here.
-He is?
518
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:45,755
[lady 1] Oh my, I think he's my favorite
of all the brothers.
519
00:32:45,838 --> 00:32:47,674
[lady 2] Wait, which one is he again?
520
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:52,971
[lady 3] Mr. Bridgerton, a moment.
521
00:32:53,054 --> 00:32:55,556
[lady 4] Mr. Bridgerton!
Mr. Bridgerton, over here!
522
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,599
[music fades]
523
00:32:56,683 --> 00:32:59,185
[dreamy music plays delicately]
524
00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:27,130
Pardon me, young lady.
Could I trouble you for the next dance?
525
00:33:27,213 --> 00:33:29,048
[lady in silver] Uh, sir…
526
00:33:29,132 --> 00:33:30,717
You see, I would love to,
527
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,219
but I have misplaced my dance card.
528
00:33:34,137 --> 00:33:37,181
Oh… That is unlucky.
529
00:33:37,265 --> 00:33:39,183
Lord Napier, forgive me for interrupting.
530
00:33:39,267 --> 00:33:41,769
I have just found
this young lady's dance card.
531
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:44,981
But unfortunately, my name is up next.
532
00:33:47,859 --> 00:33:49,527
[soft music playing]
533
00:33:54,907 --> 00:33:57,243
That is true.
534
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:07,879
What is your name?
535
00:34:08,671 --> 00:34:10,298
Why did you rescue me?
536
00:34:10,381 --> 00:34:13,760
It is rare to see someone
beaming with joy at one of these things.
537
00:34:14,594 --> 00:34:16,888
It is positively spilling out of you.
538
00:34:19,265 --> 00:34:20,308
[breathy laugh]
539
00:34:20,391 --> 00:34:23,186
[gentle notes rising softly]
540
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,992
I'll have you know I was doing rather well
fending off the gentleman on my own.
541
00:34:38,826 --> 00:34:41,454
Does he not possess
the qualities you seek?
542
00:34:41,537 --> 00:34:42,872
Qualities?
543
00:34:43,581 --> 00:34:45,041
In a suitor. [chuckles]
544
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:47,710
Oh, I am not looking for a husband.
545
00:34:48,961 --> 00:34:49,962
You are not?
546
00:34:50,546 --> 00:34:51,464
No.
547
00:34:52,632 --> 00:34:53,633
Huh.
548
00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:55,593
[up-tempo classical piece starts]
549
00:34:55,676 --> 00:34:58,387
Excuse me, I am meant to be somewhere.
550
00:34:58,471 --> 00:34:59,806
-Have I offended you?
-Oh, no.
551
00:34:59,889 --> 00:35:01,641
-I do not mean to pry.
-Do not concern yourself.
552
00:35:01,724 --> 00:35:03,184
-Have you lost your chaperone?
-No…
553
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:06,062
-Is it that we've met?
-No, I… I cannot dance.
554
00:35:06,938 --> 00:35:10,358
That is the truth. I cannot… dance.
555
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,277
A lady who cannot dance?
556
00:35:13,361 --> 00:35:16,531
[classical rendition of Usher's
"DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" playing]
557
00:35:16,614 --> 00:35:17,490
Huh.
558
00:35:18,783 --> 00:35:21,536
Is this a part of the character
you are playing tonight?
559
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:23,913
A silver ingénue?
560
00:35:23,996 --> 00:35:26,374
You have seen through me.
561
00:35:26,457 --> 00:35:27,333
[both laugh]
562
00:35:27,416 --> 00:35:31,420
Clearly, this is my first masquerade,
and what role are you playing?
563
00:35:31,504 --> 00:35:33,673
Evidently, that of your dancing master.
564
00:35:33,756 --> 00:35:34,841
Ah.
565
00:35:34,924 --> 00:35:37,218
As much as we are
all pretending here tonight,
566
00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:39,345
the ton might be bewildered
by the sight of us
567
00:35:39,428 --> 00:35:42,306
conducting dance lessons
in the center of the ballroom.
568
00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:44,308
Well, there is always the private terrace.
569
00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:46,978
I mean nothing untoward.
I am simply avoiding my mother.
570
00:35:47,061 --> 00:35:50,356
Of course, I could ask for a chaperone
if it would make you comfortable.
571
00:35:50,439 --> 00:35:53,609
-Surely there is a maid nearby.
-I shall have to trust you for tonight.
572
00:35:59,532 --> 00:36:02,535
[classical cover of
"DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" continues]
573
00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:05,621
What of him?
574
00:36:05,705 --> 00:36:07,790
Um… Must he be kind?
575
00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:09,792
Of course.
576
00:36:09,876 --> 00:36:11,043
Mm. Then no.
577
00:36:11,669 --> 00:36:12,879
[Charlotte sighs]
578
00:36:15,214 --> 00:36:17,216
[indistinct chatter]
579
00:36:29,103 --> 00:36:31,314
He is a fine choice.
580
00:36:31,397 --> 00:36:32,607
[Penelope chuckles] Oh…
581
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:36,027
No. Uh, that is Benedict Bridgerton,
Your Majesty.
582
00:36:36,110 --> 00:36:37,445
Excellent.
583
00:36:37,528 --> 00:36:40,448
He is rich, handsome, and a Bridgerton.
584
00:36:40,531 --> 00:36:42,783
But… perhaps there are other gentlemen.
585
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:44,160
We have talked enough.
586
00:36:44,243 --> 00:36:45,411
[deflated] Oh…
587
00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:50,750
[instrumental song continues]
588
00:36:58,591 --> 00:36:59,926
[chuckles quietly]
589
00:37:02,762 --> 00:37:04,680
Pardon me a moment. Could you…
590
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:06,140
Thank you. [polite chuckle]
591
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:12,271
Ow!
592
00:37:14,148 --> 00:37:15,233
That is my arm.
593
00:37:15,316 --> 00:37:17,068
[music continues faintly]
594
00:37:17,985 --> 00:37:19,111
You are mistaken.
595
00:37:19,195 --> 00:37:20,196
Right.
596
00:37:20,821 --> 00:37:22,907
-Excuse me.
-[music stops]
597
00:37:22,990 --> 00:37:26,744
A clever attempt, but I would recognize
my busybody sister anywhere.
598
00:37:26,827 --> 00:37:28,996
No one else will ever know
who I am in the mask.
599
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,291
Please… can I have
just one dance with a suitor?
600
00:37:32,375 --> 00:37:35,169
One dance will be your last
if Mama gets so much as an inkling
601
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:36,837
that you are in attendance.
602
00:37:36,921 --> 00:37:37,755
Upstairs.
603
00:37:39,131 --> 00:37:40,967
I wish you had stayed in Scotland.
604
00:37:56,399 --> 00:37:57,566
[sighs]
605
00:38:12,498 --> 00:38:13,874
Looking for me, I hope?
606
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:15,251
[Violet chuckles]
607
00:38:16,210 --> 00:38:19,088
It is certainly
a pleasant surprise to find you.
608
00:38:19,171 --> 00:38:20,715
[both chuckle]
609
00:38:33,227 --> 00:38:35,521
[tender music plays]
610
00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:42,403
[voices approaching]
611
00:38:42,486 --> 00:38:43,529
[light music plays]
612
00:38:43,612 --> 00:38:46,282
Lord Anderson, thank you for attending.
613
00:38:46,782 --> 00:38:48,951
Pleasure to be had, Lady Bridgerton.
614
00:38:52,371 --> 00:38:53,706
[music fades]
615
00:38:55,916 --> 00:38:57,293
Shall we approach?
616
00:38:57,793 --> 00:39:00,629
She did make quite the compliment
for our ball last season.
617
00:39:01,213 --> 00:39:03,007
[Alice] Do you remember what she said?
618
00:39:03,090 --> 00:39:04,925
[both] Not bad.
619
00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:05,968
[chuckling quietly]
620
00:39:06,052 --> 00:39:08,429
She likes us. And Lady Danbury is there.
621
00:39:09,388 --> 00:39:10,890
Let us present ourselves.
622
00:39:16,604 --> 00:39:19,065
Mr. and Mrs. Mondrich, Your Majesty.
623
00:39:21,025 --> 00:39:22,318
[both] Your Majesty.
624
00:39:22,401 --> 00:39:24,403
Where is that Bridgerton boy?
625
00:39:24,987 --> 00:39:26,072
[mouthing] I'm sorry.
626
00:39:32,703 --> 00:39:35,414
Are you enjoying the party, Your Majesty?
627
00:39:35,998 --> 00:39:38,834
Like the Greeks,
your torch has been passed.
628
00:39:38,918 --> 00:39:42,838
Lady Bridgerton has hosted the first ball,
and I have graced it.
629
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:45,383
You are welcome.
630
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:50,012
Indeed, and I am most grateful
you chose to attend.
631
00:39:50,096 --> 00:39:54,100
I hope next time
Mr. Bridgerton will show more of his face.
632
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:57,353
Or the other gentlemen
need to be more interesting.
633
00:39:57,853 --> 00:39:59,105
Where is the fun?
634
00:40:00,314 --> 00:40:04,443
I would like for you and me
to enjoy ourselves this season.
635
00:40:04,527 --> 00:40:07,154
In fact, on that, Your Majesty,
636
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:10,991
I have been meaning to speak with you.
637
00:40:11,784 --> 00:40:16,664
There is a reason I handed over
the first ball of the season.
638
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:19,750
I am…
639
00:40:21,001 --> 00:40:26,757
I am considering playing less of a part
in society this year.
640
00:40:26,841 --> 00:40:31,804
As you know, I have contributed much
to society and to our young couples,
641
00:40:31,887 --> 00:40:34,640
and I have enjoyed it deeply.
642
00:40:36,642 --> 00:40:37,893
And your friendship.
643
00:40:37,977 --> 00:40:40,521
[solemn music plays]
644
00:40:40,604 --> 00:40:43,274
It has been the honor of my life
645
00:40:43,774 --> 00:40:45,317
that you chose me.
646
00:40:47,278 --> 00:40:49,488
I treasure every moment.
647
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:52,783
But
648
00:40:54,076 --> 00:40:55,453
it is time.
649
00:40:57,037 --> 00:40:58,038
I…
650
00:40:59,165 --> 00:41:00,666
long to travel…
651
00:41:03,043 --> 00:41:05,129
to visit my ancestral home.
652
00:41:06,589 --> 00:41:10,843
I have not been there
since I was four years old.
653
00:41:12,428 --> 00:41:13,429
So,
654
00:41:14,847 --> 00:41:18,434
I would like to leave
at the end of this season.
655
00:41:19,185 --> 00:41:22,396
Of course, you and I shall write,
and I will be back for visits,
656
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,565
but I am leaving.
657
00:41:25,065 --> 00:41:26,066
I…
658
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:31,071
should like to leave.
659
00:41:32,615 --> 00:41:33,657
For a time.
660
00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:42,124
-No.
-[music halts]
661
00:41:44,919 --> 00:41:48,923
["Never Let You Go (Third Eye Blind
instrumental cover)" by VSQ plays]
662
00:42:03,771 --> 00:42:05,147
[lady in silver] Thank you.
663
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:07,566
[laughing]
664
00:42:07,650 --> 00:42:09,026
Are you laughing at me?
665
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:10,444
No.
666
00:42:11,278 --> 00:42:12,821
No, it is all just so…
667
00:42:14,573 --> 00:42:15,866
[sighs deeply]
668
00:42:16,492 --> 00:42:17,993
It is a spectacular night.
669
00:42:18,077 --> 00:42:19,078
[Benedict] Hm.
670
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:23,958
You are not like the other young ladies.
671
00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:25,709
It is a relief.
672
00:42:26,627 --> 00:42:28,629
What is wrong with the other young ladies?
673
00:42:28,712 --> 00:42:29,922
Well… [chuckles]
674
00:42:30,965 --> 00:42:32,466
[hesitates] I am only…
675
00:42:34,218 --> 00:42:35,219
They are…
676
00:42:35,302 --> 00:42:36,887
Constantly pursuing you?
677
00:42:36,971 --> 00:42:38,138
[chuckling]
678
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:40,641
While I can imagine
that is taxing for you,
679
00:42:40,724 --> 00:42:43,894
you must remember that those young ladies
have spent their entire lives
680
00:42:43,978 --> 00:42:45,187
preparing for the pursuit.
681
00:42:45,271 --> 00:42:48,232
Hundreds of hours acquiring
their accomplishments, endless fittings,
682
00:42:48,315 --> 00:42:50,985
not to mention the three hours alone
it takes to do up their hair
683
00:42:51,068 --> 00:42:53,362
for the five or six hours
they will be at this ball.
684
00:42:53,445 --> 00:42:56,115
All in the hope
that you might simply notice them.
685
00:42:56,198 --> 00:42:57,074
Them?
686
00:42:57,741 --> 00:42:59,493
Are you not also hoping to be noticed?
687
00:43:01,996 --> 00:43:03,414
Truly?
688
00:43:03,497 --> 00:43:04,415
Truly.
689
00:43:06,917 --> 00:43:08,711
I am merely hoping to enjoy myself.
690
00:43:09,545 --> 00:43:11,130
And you seem to be very much.
691
00:43:16,844 --> 00:43:18,762
Or… not?
692
00:43:18,846 --> 00:43:21,473
It is a lovely evening, but in truth I…
693
00:43:23,225 --> 00:43:26,020
cannot help but feel a little
out of place at a society function.
694
00:43:26,103 --> 00:43:27,187
[chuckles]
695
00:43:27,271 --> 00:43:28,564
How can that be true?
696
00:43:31,317 --> 00:43:35,195
Perhaps I feel more comfortable
appreciating the details
697
00:43:35,279 --> 00:43:37,406
of an event than I do participating.
698
00:43:38,824 --> 00:43:40,659
Well, do not worry.
699
00:43:41,744 --> 00:43:43,287
I will not tell my mother.
700
00:43:43,370 --> 00:43:45,164
-[chuckling]
-Your mother?
701
00:43:45,789 --> 00:43:46,790
[gasps softly]
702
00:43:47,666 --> 00:43:49,627
So this is your home, then,
703
00:43:49,710 --> 00:43:52,546
which… makes you a Bridgerton?
704
00:43:53,130 --> 00:43:54,465
Wh… [scoffs lightly]
705
00:43:54,548 --> 00:43:57,635
-You really did not know who I am?
-Not until now.
706
00:43:58,218 --> 00:43:59,219
Well?
707
00:43:59,803 --> 00:44:02,848
-If I cannot have your name, you cannot--
-Benedict, I presume.
708
00:44:02,931 --> 00:44:06,018
You are just as Whistledown describes,
both in appearance and nature.
709
00:44:07,061 --> 00:44:09,438
You know me from Whistledown
but not from society?
710
00:44:09,521 --> 00:44:11,440
You are at a ball but cannot dance,
711
00:44:11,523 --> 00:44:15,152
and you are singularly self-possessed,
and yet you do not feel as if you fit in?
712
00:44:16,236 --> 00:44:18,447
Who are you? Where did you grow up?
713
00:44:18,530 --> 00:44:20,074
Here. In England.
714
00:44:20,157 --> 00:44:21,700
-City or countryside?
-Between the two.
715
00:44:21,784 --> 00:44:23,827
-Who are your parents?
-Mother and Father.
716
00:44:24,536 --> 00:44:27,373
You have managed not to tell me
a single thing about yourself.
717
00:44:28,248 --> 00:44:30,042
Is that something you do?
718
00:44:30,125 --> 00:44:33,337
Put all the attention on others
so no one might see beneath your surface?
719
00:44:34,171 --> 00:44:35,339
[chuckling scoff]
720
00:44:37,091 --> 00:44:40,678
Sometimes it is easier
to stay in shallow water.
721
00:44:40,761 --> 00:44:42,971
Warmer. More pleasant.
722
00:44:43,931 --> 00:44:45,140
I like warm and pleasant.
723
00:44:45,224 --> 00:44:49,645
It is dull to swim in the same waters
day after day, even if they are warm and…
724
00:44:50,479 --> 00:44:51,480
pleasant.
725
00:44:54,066 --> 00:44:56,235
Will you not wade out deeper with me?
726
00:44:59,154 --> 00:45:01,323
Well, while your point is well-taken
727
00:45:01,407 --> 00:45:04,284
about the efforts made
by tonight's young ladies,
728
00:45:05,744 --> 00:45:08,956
I cannot help but feel their pursuit
has very little to do with me.
729
00:45:10,457 --> 00:45:14,545
So, perhaps the reason
I stay in shallow water
730
00:45:16,547 --> 00:45:18,966
is that I too feel like an imposter.
731
00:45:21,260 --> 00:45:22,970
But this is your family home.
732
00:45:23,053 --> 00:45:24,221
[laughs uneasily]
733
00:45:29,351 --> 00:45:31,145
Even more so here.
734
00:45:35,983 --> 00:45:38,652
I believe I still owe you a dance lesson.
735
00:45:39,528 --> 00:45:41,739
Why me?
Why is it that you wish to dance with me?
736
00:45:41,822 --> 00:45:44,408
Uh, because I am a mere mortal,
737
00:45:44,491 --> 00:45:47,870
and I do not question
what the dance card tells me to do.
738
00:45:51,331 --> 00:45:52,207
Very well.
739
00:45:52,708 --> 00:45:54,460
First, we bow.
740
00:45:55,461 --> 00:45:57,212
[laughing]
741
00:45:58,255 --> 00:45:59,381
[Benedict laughs]
742
00:46:00,841 --> 00:46:01,842
Then…
743
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,471
you put your hand in mine.
744
00:46:05,554 --> 00:46:07,556
[gentle instrumental music plays]
745
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:19,526
Now you move a little closer.
746
00:46:46,136 --> 00:46:47,137
Then…
747
00:46:48,222 --> 00:46:50,724
a simple box step.
748
00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:53,477
[lady] Mm.
749
00:46:55,646 --> 00:46:57,564
-[inhales sharply]
-[Benedict] Mm-mm.
750
00:46:57,648 --> 00:46:58,982
-[lady] Oh…
-Mm-hmm.
751
00:47:01,819 --> 00:47:03,821
[gentle music builds slowly]
752
00:47:05,447 --> 00:47:06,698
Mm-hmm.
753
00:47:06,782 --> 00:47:07,783
One,
754
00:47:09,243 --> 00:47:10,244
two,
755
00:47:11,411 --> 00:47:12,412
three.
756
00:47:13,539 --> 00:47:14,414
One,
757
00:47:15,541 --> 00:47:17,543
two, three.
758
00:47:18,043 --> 00:47:21,713
One, two, three. Good.
759
00:47:22,297 --> 00:47:24,383
-You are quite the teacher.
-[chuckles]
760
00:47:24,466 --> 00:47:27,344
And you are quite the pretend student.
761
00:47:27,845 --> 00:47:30,013
-[quick inhale]
-[lady] Oh! Oh, forgive me.
762
00:47:30,097 --> 00:47:32,432
[Benedict] Do not worry.
Please, do not worry.
763
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:34,142
[soft chuckle]
764
00:47:34,226 --> 00:47:36,228
My sisters have done far worse.
765
00:47:40,148 --> 00:47:43,902
One, two, three.
766
00:47:45,654 --> 00:47:47,281
…two, three.
767
00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:51,743
One, two, three.
768
00:47:51,827 --> 00:47:53,704
One, two…
769
00:47:53,787 --> 00:47:55,247
Mm. Impressive.
770
00:47:56,039 --> 00:47:58,375
Dancing already with your eyes closed.
771
00:47:59,126 --> 00:48:02,337
I am trying to remember this moment
exactly, so that if I wish…
772
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:04,840
I can escape here.
773
00:48:11,555 --> 00:48:14,641
You are perhaps the most intriguing person
I have ever met.
774
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:17,269
If I can't know your name
or where you live,
775
00:48:19,062 --> 00:48:21,565
however am I meant
to call on you tomorrow?
776
00:48:23,817 --> 00:48:25,444
That will not be possible.
777
00:48:25,986 --> 00:48:27,404
[Benedict] Mmm…
778
00:48:27,487 --> 00:48:30,866
A silver ingénue
who can never be seen again.
779
00:48:31,450 --> 00:48:32,868
[Benedict chuckles softly]
780
00:48:46,715 --> 00:48:47,925
Oh, we should not.
781
00:48:49,801 --> 00:48:50,928
We should not what?
782
00:49:23,710 --> 00:49:25,712
[inhales deeply]
783
00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:36,723
Please tell me your name.
784
00:49:37,808 --> 00:49:39,017
[bell dinging]
785
00:49:39,101 --> 00:49:40,519
[people cheering]
786
00:49:40,602 --> 00:49:41,687
What does it mean?
787
00:49:42,729 --> 00:49:44,064
Well, it is midnight.
788
00:49:44,773 --> 00:49:48,276
Time for everyone to reveal themselves,
including you, at last.
789
00:49:49,152 --> 00:49:50,278
I must go. My…
790
00:49:50,904 --> 00:49:52,572
My chaperone will be looking for me.
791
00:49:52,656 --> 00:49:53,949
Please, do not leave.
792
00:49:55,492 --> 00:49:56,952
[curious music playing]
793
00:50:03,959 --> 00:50:06,962
[lavish instrumental flourish plays]
794
00:50:11,508 --> 00:50:12,509
Wait!
795
00:50:24,187 --> 00:50:26,189
-[music fades out]
-[bell dinging]
796
00:50:26,273 --> 00:50:28,066
[overlapping chatter]
797
00:50:33,864 --> 00:50:36,700
-[bell dinging]
-[chattering dies down]
798
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:42,831
-I can whisk you out of here, if you like.
-I shall have to face everyone eventually.
799
00:50:42,914 --> 00:50:44,166
-[soft gasps]
-That's her.
800
00:50:44,249 --> 00:50:45,542
[lady] Penelope Bridgerton.
801
00:50:47,878 --> 00:50:48,879
Oh. Ooh…
802
00:50:48,962 --> 00:50:50,255
Excuse me.
803
00:50:50,881 --> 00:50:52,549
Watch where you are going.
804
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,802
[intriguing music playing]
805
00:51:01,808 --> 00:51:03,477
That is Lady Whistledown.
806
00:51:03,977 --> 00:51:06,730
Go and make it known
that there is a diamond here tonight.
807
00:51:06,813 --> 00:51:07,814
[exhales briskly]
808
00:51:10,233 --> 00:51:14,529
Mrs. Bridgerton. Miss Rosamund Li.
I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
809
00:51:14,613 --> 00:51:16,823
-Wonderful to meet you all.
-Hello.
810
00:51:16,907 --> 00:51:18,033
Oh. Hello.
811
00:51:19,076 --> 00:51:23,205
Benedict, how are you?
It has been an age since I have seen you.
812
00:51:23,288 --> 00:51:24,706
[musical pace quickens]
813
00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:25,791
I must go.
814
00:51:34,591 --> 00:51:35,967
[music halts]
815
00:51:36,551 --> 00:51:38,553
[somber music plays]
816
00:51:44,059 --> 00:51:45,560
[breathes deeply]
817
00:52:11,128 --> 00:52:13,046
-[music ends]
-[woman] Well, how was it?
818
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:15,465
[excitedly] Well, tell me everything.
819
00:52:15,549 --> 00:52:16,883
Something.
820
00:52:17,592 --> 00:52:19,010
Did you enjoy yourself?
821
00:52:20,428 --> 00:52:22,973
It was the most extraordinary night
of my life.
822
00:52:23,056 --> 00:52:24,057
[sighs]
823
00:52:24,141 --> 00:52:25,350
It was…
824
00:52:26,143 --> 00:52:27,394
They are here.
825
00:52:27,477 --> 00:52:29,146
[brisk music plays lightly]
826
00:52:29,229 --> 00:52:31,648
I've set everything exactly
as you would've done it.
827
00:52:31,731 --> 00:52:33,650
You have nothing to worry about.
828
00:52:35,861 --> 00:52:36,903
Sophie Baek.
829
00:52:39,197 --> 00:52:40,407
Thank you.
830
00:52:40,490 --> 00:52:42,534
Both of you, I cannot thank you enough.
831
00:52:47,038 --> 00:52:48,039
Oh.
832
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,917
[music fades]
833
00:52:51,001 --> 00:52:54,171
How horrible it is
to be on one's feet all night.
834
00:52:54,254 --> 00:52:57,257
There is nothing so taxing
as being a debutante.
835
00:52:57,340 --> 00:52:59,342
It is better than sitting at home.
836
00:53:02,596 --> 00:53:03,638
Sophie.
837
00:53:04,222 --> 00:53:06,766
You must have had a pleasurable evening.
838
00:53:08,393 --> 00:53:09,895
My evening was like any other.
839
00:53:09,978 --> 00:53:13,148
Then why is it that
you were not waiting here with our tea?
840
00:53:13,231 --> 00:53:15,859
My apologies, ma'am.
Your beds have been turned down,
841
00:53:15,942 --> 00:53:19,779
hairbrushes cleaned, nightwear readied,
and the tea is here for you now.
842
00:53:20,655 --> 00:53:21,823
Please forgive the delay.
843
00:53:27,662 --> 00:53:29,289
And how were your evenings?
844
00:53:30,457 --> 00:53:33,793
Have you heard of such a thing as a toga?
I wish you could have seen…
845
00:53:33,877 --> 00:53:36,796
Mr. Bridgerton showed
considerable interest in me.
846
00:53:38,590 --> 00:53:39,591
Did he?
847
00:53:42,135 --> 00:53:43,261
[Rosamund] Or he will,
848
00:53:44,763 --> 00:53:48,266
once his time is not monopolized
by that woman he was with.
849
00:53:48,350 --> 00:53:51,811
I would not worry, Rosamund.
You are my daughter.
850
00:53:51,895 --> 00:53:55,482
Whomever he was talking with tonight,
she cannot possibly compete.
851
00:54:05,325 --> 00:54:06,743
You are excused, Sophie.
852
00:54:21,341 --> 00:54:23,343
[indistinct conversations]
853
00:54:28,014 --> 00:54:29,224
Your Majesty, um…
854
00:54:31,017 --> 00:54:32,143
I really must tell you,
855
00:54:32,227 --> 00:54:35,063
I do not think Benedict Bridgerton
is your pick for the season.
856
00:54:35,146 --> 00:54:36,523
-But he is.
-Of course.
857
00:54:36,606 --> 00:54:40,110
It is just… half of the young ladies
I observed tonight had their eyes on him,
858
00:54:40,193 --> 00:54:42,821
and mamas are wondering
about his intention for the season,
859
00:54:42,904 --> 00:54:44,698
but… I know Benedict.
860
00:54:44,781 --> 00:54:46,866
Are you saying I do not?
861
00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:48,243
[Penelope] I'm saying that…
862
00:54:49,286 --> 00:54:50,870
of all the men of the ton,
863
00:54:50,954 --> 00:54:53,999
I would wager that Benedict Bridgerton
is the least likely to marry.
864
00:54:54,082 --> 00:54:55,417
The very least?
865
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,379
And you would wager on that?
866
00:54:59,462 --> 00:55:02,424
-[curious music plays]
Oh, well, I do not mean…
867
00:55:02,507 --> 00:55:03,717
Um… [gasps softly]
868
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,886
-When I said wager, I was--
-We have a wager. Yes.
869
00:55:06,970 --> 00:55:09,264
[laughs] How thrilling for us all.
870
00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:11,516
Now,
871
00:55:12,309 --> 00:55:15,395
how much are you willing
to settle on this bet?
872
00:55:16,104 --> 00:55:17,105
[sighs]
873
00:55:19,399 --> 00:55:21,234
[music fades]
874
00:55:21,318 --> 00:55:24,738
-[Eloise] Looking for Benedict, I assume?
-Well, unfortunately, yes.
875
00:55:25,238 --> 00:55:29,451
I fear he may have left early.
But you seemed to enjoy yourself tonight.
876
00:55:29,993 --> 00:55:31,077
In fact, I did.
877
00:55:31,161 --> 00:55:34,164
And I should continue to do so,
now that I can enjoy it from,
878
00:55:34,247 --> 00:55:35,790
well, the shelf.
879
00:55:35,874 --> 00:55:37,375
Which shelf, exactly?
880
00:55:37,876 --> 00:55:40,128
The shelf. I've decided to be a spinster.
881
00:55:40,211 --> 00:55:43,548
Oh, Eloise, that is not something
you simply get to decide.
882
00:55:43,631 --> 00:55:45,842
It has been three seasons
since I've been out
883
00:55:45,925 --> 00:55:47,385
with absolutely no prospects.
884
00:55:47,469 --> 00:55:50,847
It is true. There are certain young ladies
who'd be considered on the shelf
885
00:55:50,930 --> 00:55:54,100
if they have no prospects at your age,
but you'd surely have no trouble
886
00:55:54,184 --> 00:55:56,603
securing a husband if you simply tried.
887
00:55:56,686 --> 00:55:58,146
I do not want to try.
888
00:55:58,229 --> 00:56:01,232
Well, you will,
once you meet the right gentleman.
889
00:56:01,316 --> 00:56:04,486
I gave you
and Benedict free rein last season
890
00:56:04,569 --> 00:56:07,155
because I had my hands full
with Colin and Francesca.
891
00:56:07,238 --> 00:56:10,658
But this season, you are both
at the very top of my matchmaking list.
892
00:56:14,913 --> 00:56:16,706
I think I shall go to bed now.
893
00:56:21,711 --> 00:56:22,879
[sighs]
894
00:56:25,090 --> 00:56:26,091
Hm.
895
00:56:31,262 --> 00:56:32,347
[music ends]
896
00:56:32,972 --> 00:56:34,516
There you are.
897
00:56:34,599 --> 00:56:35,892
[Benedict] Mother.
898
00:56:36,476 --> 00:56:37,477
I… I've only--
899
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,563
Thank you for speaking to the debutantes.
900
00:56:41,856 --> 00:56:43,900
I could do with a rest myself.
901
00:56:45,485 --> 00:56:48,947
There is so much enthusiasm
at the start of the season. [chuckles]
902
00:56:50,198 --> 00:56:51,866
It was a tremendous evening.
903
00:56:52,867 --> 00:56:53,868
Was it?
904
00:56:53,952 --> 00:56:57,247
Have you taken an interest
in a young lady?
905
00:56:59,999 --> 00:57:01,084
[chuckles lightly]
906
00:57:02,752 --> 00:57:03,753
No.
907
00:57:03,837 --> 00:57:04,712
Oh.
908
00:57:04,796 --> 00:57:08,800
But… I can now respect
what they are all up against.
909
00:57:09,676 --> 00:57:12,846
I mean, hundreds of hours of preparation,
910
00:57:13,555 --> 00:57:15,181
all in the hope of simply…
911
00:57:16,474 --> 00:57:17,725
being noticed.
912
00:57:17,809 --> 00:57:19,018
[dry chuckle]
913
00:57:20,478 --> 00:57:23,106
You sound as if
you have been made a new man.
914
00:57:25,817 --> 00:57:27,902
-I will not say that.
-[Violet chuckles]
915
00:57:27,986 --> 00:57:30,405
In fact, I'm going out
for a few drinks tonight.
916
00:57:30,488 --> 00:57:33,408
But I promise to be in bed
before the sun comes up.
917
00:57:33,950 --> 00:57:37,412
Hyacinth Bridgerton,
go to bed this instant.
918
00:57:38,288 --> 00:57:40,957
What harm can it do
for me to simply observe?
919
00:57:41,624 --> 00:57:43,168
Did Eloise speak with you?
920
00:57:43,251 --> 00:57:45,044
About what, exactly?
921
00:57:45,753 --> 00:57:48,381
[Lady Whistledown] If anyonewere holding out hope…
922
00:57:48,465 --> 00:57:49,757
You come here, young lady.
923
00:57:49,841 --> 00:57:53,178
…that Benedict Bridgertonwould take a wife this season,
924
00:57:54,762 --> 00:57:57,265
this author should make it known
925
00:57:57,348 --> 00:58:00,810
that she does not wager it will happen.
926
00:58:00,894 --> 00:58:02,896
[brisk classical tune playing]
927
00:58:05,482 --> 00:58:06,483
But
928
00:58:07,525 --> 00:58:10,612
believe what you might wish, dear reader,
929
00:58:11,821 --> 00:58:14,532
this author knows best
930
00:58:14,616 --> 00:58:20,330
that a small amount of make-believeoften has the power to remake reality,
931
00:58:22,957 --> 00:58:25,668
to lift us up from the drudgery
932
00:58:26,252 --> 00:58:28,922
of a humdrum existence.
933
00:58:29,005 --> 00:58:31,007
[quick classical tune rises]
934
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,136
With a little imagination,
935
00:58:37,889 --> 00:58:40,683
the impossible seems possible.
936
00:58:43,061 --> 00:58:45,772
Dreams seem tangible.
937
00:58:47,398 --> 00:58:50,151
And yet, gentle readers,
938
00:58:53,279 --> 00:58:55,782
one must eventually
939
00:58:57,867 --> 00:58:59,160
wake up.
940
00:58:59,702 --> 00:59:02,705
[uplifting music builds slowly]
941
00:59:22,850 --> 00:59:24,852
[music fades out]
942
00:59:26,813 --> 00:59:28,731
[closing theme music plays]
943
01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:55,818
