CLAIRE: Previously...

Alex is the younger brother
of Captain Jonathan Randall, Esquire.

Your brother, he isn't dead?

ALEXANDER: Luckily, my brother is blessed

with a much stronger
constitution than my own.

MURTAGH: He'll get us all killed
if we don't stop him.

All we have to do is see
to it that his war chest remains empty.

You want to discourage Prince Charles from
mounting your rebellion?

Scotland and our people canna
bear another failed rebellion.

CLAIRE: You're friends
with the Comte St Germain?

You may call us rivals.

A lady's maid knows what does
and does not occur in her mistress' boudoir.

What I sell is bitter cascara.

Makes the enemy suffer visibly,
but it doesn't kill them.

JAMIE: He's a pickpocket. I hired him.

CLAIRE: Fergus spent his time
stealing letters from the Prince.

"I can guarantee the amount
of £40,000 will be made available to you."

BOTH: Sandringham.

MURTAGH: If Jamie sits down with him
and his secretary...

CLAIRE: He'll find out
Black Jack Randall is still alive.

(FOLK MUSIC PLAYING)

Sing me a song

Of a lass that is gone

Say, could that lass

Be I?

Merry of soul

She sailed on a day

Over the sea

To Skye

Billow and breeze

Islands and seas

Mountains of rain and sun

All that was good

All that was fair

All that was me

Is gone

(SINGING IN FRENCH)

♪♪♪

Over the sea

To Skye

Have you thought about names
for the petit bambin?

Well, I thought if it was a boy,
we could name him Lambert.

Lambert?

Yes, after my uncle.

Now, not to disrespect your uncle,
but it's a wee bit...

English.

And now I take your rook.

How about Dalhousie?

Dalhousie?

Aye, after Dalhousie Castle.

(CHUCKLES) It's a braw name.

(SCOFFS) Dalhousie? I mean...

It sounds more like a sneeze.

Check.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

He'll have you in two moves, Fraser.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Who the devil?
I beg your pardon, Monsieur.

Do not expose my game!

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

How boring.

The outcome is so terribly obvious...

...that I do not see the point
of watching the rest.

Madame.

He's right.

- Congratulations.
- Ah, consider this a draw.

You have been distracted, my friend.

I prefer a clean victory.

Perhaps I should find something else to do.

DUVERNEY:
Let's make it the best of five instead.

His Majesty is intrigued

by the idea of the wealthy English patriots

who are pledging such a substantial amount
to your cause.

- That's encouraging news.
- Yes, yes.

(COUGHS)

(COUGHING)

(GROANING)

- Claire?
- (GASPING)

Claire! Ye all right?

- (GASPS)
- Claire!

- (CONTINUES GASPING)
- Claire.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

(DUVERNEY CLAPS)

(DUVERNEY SPEAKING FRENCH)

(CLAIRE GASPING)

JAMIE: Ye all right?

(GASPING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- (HORSE CHUFFING)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

CLAIRE: I don't think it was poison.

JAMIE: What then?

Thinking back,

I thought I detected an aftertaste.

Perhaps bitter cascara?

Glad you're feeling better.

This marshmallow leaf tea
should counteract the effects.

And the bairn?

Baby should be fine.

Jamie,

- when I thought that I could possibly lose...
- Aye.

I ken, Sassenach.

You believe this was St Germain's doing?

He could have bribed one of the servants

to put the cascara in my glass of wine.

The way he was staring at me...

If it was St Germain, I'll make him suffer.

I'd give good money to watch you do it...

(SIGHS)

But we don't have proof.

And right now, a public scandal

could cause the Prince
to distance himself from you.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Please, distract me.

Tell me about Duverney.

(SIGHS)

He, uh...

He's spoken to the King

about supporting Charles.

And, uh...

The promise of an alliance
has the King intrigued.

The Franco-British alliance is a fantasy.

- Charles knows that.
- Aye. Maybe.

But it's a tempting prize.

And if Charles
secures the money from Sandringham,

then the King will join him as well.

Now, I've been thinking...

What if we host a dinner for the Duke?

- A dinner here?
- Aye.

Aye, the Duke and the Prince
have never met in person.

You know, the Duke will want to...

To take the measure of the Prince

and decide if he's a man
worth staking his fortune and his life on.

Now, Charles can be convincing
when he has a mind to be.

He certainly turned Duverney around.

We need to stage the occasion
to undercut Charles,

lead him to make a mistake
in front of the Duke

and expose himself
for the delusional popinjay that he is.

Think I'm mistaken?

No, it's... It's a good plan.

(CHUCKLES)

I can tell by your face.

You disagree.

(CHUCKLES)

It's not that. (SIGHS)

I need to tell you something.

Jack Randall is alive.

I met his brother, Alex,

on our first visit to Versailles.

He works for the Duke.

He said that Randall was

injured in the line of duty,

but he's very much alive.

(SHAKILY) This is...

Wonderful news.

(LAUGHS)

But why'd you wait so long to tell me?

Because I...

I certainly wasn't expecting this reaction.

Don't you see, Sassenach?
This has plagued me for months.

Thinking Black Jack Randall died
and I missed it,

knowing I'd never look in his face

and see the blood flow from his body,

watch him breathe his last.

But now...

Jamie, you can't go back to Scotland.

No, I'm not foolish enough
to give the hangman a second chance at me.

Nor do I intend to abandon our task here,

but you've given me
something to hold on to.

Something to...

To look forward to.

And that is a gift.

Thank you, truly.

(LAUGHS)

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

- Morning.
- Ah...

Jamie's in a cheery mood.

Yes, I told him Black Jack Randall
was still alive.

Don't know what you were so worried about.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(DOOR CLOSES)

MASTER RAYMOND: Madonna.

How are you today?

I was violently ill last night.

Someone tried to poison me.

I almost died, or could have lost my child.

Did you sell bitter cascara to St Germain?

I've sold the cascara
to only one person in the last months,

a servant I didn't recognise.

Could have been working
for Monsieur le Comte,

but I swear, I didn't know it.

(BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH)

They are watching us.

(IN ENGLISH)
Ah. Madonna, follow me.

Where are we going?

To a safe place.

(CHUCKLES)

The gendarmes pass by with prying eyes.

The King is not enamoured
of the mystical art.

(SIGHS) We must be wary
not to invoke his ire.

(SNIFFS)

Please.

A very old and rare species.

(SIGHS) Such beasts are no more.

I'm fascinated by things not of this time.

Something else is on your mind.

Yes, it is.

I'm worried about an old friend.

Does he have a name?

His name is Frank.

Is he in danger?

Well, I believe his future...

Uh, is in doubt.

The bones will give us an answer.

Sheep knuckles.

There's nothing in here.

Look again, Madonna.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Well, how did you do that?

A little sleight of hand. I could not resist.

It's a trick I do to amuse the customers.

I know what this is.

I've seen it when I was travelling in Africa
with my uncle.

But the Zulu, they use chicken bones.

Then you know how it works.

(BONES CLATTER)

Bring your question to mind,

and cast them upon the hide.

(BONES RATTLING)

I cannot see his fate,

but you have no need to worry.

You will see him again.

I will see him again?

Oui. That's what the bones say.

But for now, you are my concern.

For you, Madonna...

For protection.

It will change colour
in the presence of poison.

This magic stone will keep me safe?

Some would call it nature,
some would call it magic.

I certainly charge more for it when I do,

but for you, Madonna, today,

there's no charge.

(CUCKOO SOUNDING)

What do you think of my newest toy?

It's (STAMMERS) marvellous.

It's a lovely clock, Louise.

(MONKEY CHITTERS)

(SOFTLY) But I thought
you said it was urgent.

Would you be a dear and feed Colette?

There is fruit in the kitchen.

And do not put your fingers in the cage.

That monkey... (SPEAKING FRENCH)

She's a little devil!

She bites everyone but me.

(SIGHS) The reason
I've summoned you here...

The situation is quite...

Delicate.

I'm with child.

Well,

then congratulations are in order.

I'm afraid not.

My husband and I
haven't been intimate in months.

The baby is not his.

You know about these things.

Will you help me?

Are you sure, Louise?

It was not an easy decision, but I've made it.

How shall we go about it?

Well, I can make a decoction
of barberry leaves

and black hellebore.

Black hellebore?

The very name of it sounds evil.

It is bloody nasty stuff.

Poison, really.

It will rid you of the child,

but it can also kill you.

But what other choice do I have?

(SIGHS)

Do you want the baby?

Of course I want it. It's my lover's.

It's his, it's mine. It...

Could you leave Jules and marry him?

He wants to marry me,

but he's a dreamer.

It is one thing to enjoy an affaire de coeur,

but if Jules learns of the baby,

he will have our marriage annulled.

He could even have me
arrested for adultery or even worse,

banish me to a convent.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

Perhaps...

Jules can be

persuaded that the child is his?

You mean sleep with my husband?

But my lover would be furious.

(SCOFFS)

Well, he's not the one
that's pregnant, Louise.

But how will I raise a child
with a man who is not the father?

All that matters is that...

The child is brought up with love.

Good evening, my beautiful wife.

And how was the rest of your day
since last we met?

Not bad.

I take it you had a good day.

Aye, as a matter of fact, I did.

Really?

Are you going to tell me,
or do I have to wait?

Ah.

You won't have to wait long tonight,
Sassenach.

- Mmm.
- Hmm.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(BOTH MOANING)

CLAIRE: What the hell is that?

Are those bite marks?

Aye, well, uh...

She did get a wee bit carried away.

She?

She...
Are you referring to that brunette whore

that Fergus is always talking about?

No, no, it was a different girl entirely.

- Oh, it was a different girl entirely.
- Mmm.

What, that makes it better?

And how exactly did this "different girl
entirely" manage to bite your thighs?

There is a simple explanation.

Well, I should hope so.

Well, I don't suppose
a gently reared young lady such as yourself

would be familiar with
the term soixante-neuf?

Oh, I know what sixty-nine is.

Ah, well, she was rather insistent about it,

although I think she would've
settled for the six.

The nine could go hang.

I suppose she was so insistent,

you just had to accommodate her.

No, no, I did not.

Ye have to believe me, Claire,
nothin' happened.

Oh, so I'm supposed to believe

that you got those bites
defending your virtue?

Well, I didna say I wasna tempted.

I wanted to, badly.

Yeah, I was filled with lust, but...

Yeah, I don't think
I'm explaining this properly.

No, I don't think you are,

because so far the only thing that you've
explained is that while you've

barely touched me in months,

tonight you were driven mad
with passion by some whore.

Yes! No!

Well, that's the great thing, don't you see?

(STUTTERING) I... I've tried for so long
to find a way back to you,

but to not see that bastard's face every
time I take you in my arms.

But tonight I started to,
to feel like a man again.

With another woman!

Nothing happened.

And it was actually you that made me believe

it was possible in the first place.

(SCOFFS)

Me?

Aye.

You told me Randall is alive,

and now I can be the one to end his life.

You know, it lifted something from my heart.

I began to feel
I should stir up those feelings inside myself

so I could feel that way again with my wife.

So you had to stir yourself up with a whore

before you could bring
yourself to be with me?

No, that's not what I was...

You know I've been
struggling for a long time.

Struggling?

Do you know what I've been struggling with?

Trying to be patient with you
and understanding,

and all the while, I've been...

I've been dealing with carrying our child.

'Course I do.

We've barely even talked about it.

(STUTTERING) We hadn't even talked
about babies' names

until Duverney brought it up
at your stupid chess game!

I feel like I've been going
through all of this all on my own.

- I'm here.
- (SCOFFS)

I am with you,

and we will have this child together.

But I don't think you understand
what it's been like for me since...

Since what happened at Wentworth.

Well, then tell me, God damn it.

Talk to me! Make me understand!

(SOFTLY) There was this place inside me I...

A place I think everyone has
that they keep to themselves.

A fortress.

Where the most private part of you lives.

Maybe it's your soul,

the bit that makes you
yourself and not anyone else.

But after Wentworth,

it was like my

fortress had been blown apart.

The thing that once lived
there was suddenly exposed, out in the open,

without shelter, without...

That's where I've been ever since, Claire.

Naked.

Alone.

Trying to hide

under a blade of grass.

Think it best I sleep elsewhere tonight.

- Claire.
- Shh.

Don't say a word.

(SIGHS)

(WHISPERING) Come find me, Jamie.

- Come find me.
- (SIGHS)

Find us.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(MOANS)

(GASPING)

(MOANING)

(GASPING)

(BOTH PANTING)

(PANTING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

- (EXHALES)
- (RAIN PATTERING)

Remember I told you I was lost?

You were trying to hide
under a blade of grass.

Well, I think...

Perhaps you've built me a lean-to.

At the least.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Hmm.

And a roof

to keep out the rain.

(DISTANT TAPPING)

What?

Shh.

(TAPPING GROWS LOUDER)

CLAIRE: What is it?

(TAPPING CONTINUES)

There's someone on the roof.

(THUDDING)

(CLATTERING)

(KNOCKING)

- MAN: James!
- (KNOCKING)

(MAN EXCLAIMING)

(BOTH GRUNT)

Forgive me.

I do not usually arrive so,

without ceremony
or at such an unsocial hour.

My house is at your service,

- Your Highness.
- (CHUCKLES)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

May I present my wife?

Claire Fraser...

Lady Broch Tuarach.

Claire, this is His Royal Highness,

Prince Charles Edward Stuart,

the future king of Britain.

I'd rather gathered that.

Good evening, Your Royal Highness.

A pleasure to meet you, madame.

CLAIRE: Has Your Royal Highness
been hurt?

Your hand.

Indeed, I suffered
a ghastly and painful injury.

You'll have a look at it,
and I'll need a whisky too.

Aye.

I found myself in a rather embarrassing
position at the house of a friend.

I was forced to flee. (CHUCKLES)

Unable to use the front door,

I departed out of the window and onto a roof.

I had a rare time, dodging chimneys,
slipping on wet slates,

until it occurred to me
your house was down the row.

She swore she loved me countless times.

Then tonight,
she spurns me without warning.

We were quarrelling
when her husband arrived home early.

God is forever testing me,

placing obstacles in my path.

I've overcome every one of them.
I'll overcome this one too.

I won't be deterred. Mark me,

I will win her back.

I don't believe it will require sutures.

It should heal quite quickly.

It appears to be a bite.

- An epidemic around here.
- Hmm.

Her pet!

It bites everyone apart from her.

Ill-tempered, flea-ridden beast.

By any chance, was this bite by a monkey?

Charles and Louise?

I never suspected either.

But now I think about it,

they are both dreamers.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

And both live in a...

...fantasy world.

Hmm.

(CHUCKLES)

They're perfect for each other.

(SIGHS)

Can't believe I'm thinking this, but...

Believe I was thinkin' the very same thing.

We use their affair to our advantage.

Get Charles and Louise
in the same room together.

Aye, we invite Louise
to the dinner next week,

along with her husband.

And if Charles hasn't heard
about the baby by then...

We make sure he does,
right in front of the Duke.

He'll come unhinged.

We use his broken heart

to break his bank.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, God.

Does this make us bad people?

Way I see it,

we're doing a bad thing,

but for a good reason.

(SCOFFS)

Isn't that what all bad people say?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Where are you off to? The dinner's tonight.

I know. I got word there's an
explosion at the Royal Armoury.

Several of the victims
have gone to the hospital.

Besides, Madame Vionnet
never lets me near the kitchen,

and I'd rather be somewhere I'm needed.

I promise, I'll be home before sunset.

All right.

But take Murtagh with you.

Fergus too.

Have her home in time to dress for dinner,
if you expect to eat yerself.

You have my word.

Madame Fraser asked that I let you know

that it's going to be at least another hour.

No, but... (STAMMERS) I promised Milord.

She knows. We'll hurry.

FERGUS: It's a shame
Miss Hawkins is so sad.

Sad? That hen was smiling from ear to ear.

Did you really not see
that she had been crying?

I saw no crying.

That's why you will die with la veuve poignet.

Alone with your hand. (LAUGHS)

Give me that.

(SIGHS)

She's promised to wed the vicomte,

yet she's in love with another.

In love?

You just said she was sad.

(STAMMERING) I know, but there is...
(SPEAKS FRENCH)

...self-contradiction.

Because,

in spite of the crying,

she's wearing... (SPEAKING FRENCH)

...perfume.

And there is a, um... (SPEAKING FRENCH)

How can I say...

(STAMMERS) A spring in her step

and her speech, which does not flow,

now runs like a...

A sparkling stream.

One, I dinna care. Two,

a man doesna
concern himself with the affairs of women.

Suzette, the lady's maid...

Is she in love with anyone?

Her? (LAUGHS) Oui...

With any man who walks past her door.

Never mind, you wee smout.

(MAN SCREAMING)

(GROANING)

(MAN SCREAMING)

(MAN GASPING)

(GROANING)

(PANTING)

CLAIRE: That's incredible.

What did you do?

There is a nerve there,

and if you are
fortunate enough to pierce it directly,

it numbs the sensation
in the lower extremity, hmm?

We must work quickly.

Hold the foot steady. Mmm.

(MAN SCREAMING AND GROANING)

(BONES CRACKING)

(GROANING WEAKLY)

This ointment will ease the pain of the burns.

What is it?

Hangman's grease.

Rendered fat from hanged criminals.

(WEAKLY) Uh-huh.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

Mary, uh, why don't you
step outside for some air?

I need to wash my hands first.

(WOMAN WHIMPERS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SIGHS) Where would he get such a thing?

When Monsieur Forez is not with us,

he serves as His Majesty's royal executioner.

(BELLS TOLLING)

(SCOFFS) That's a peculiar calling.

We take what God sends us.

Still, the bulk of our physicians

are better than nothing.

You, madame, are a great deal
better than nothing.

Thank you.

The wheel's broken.

I sent Fergus ahead to tell Jamie we'll be late.

Oh, Christ, today of all days.

I promised Jamie I'd be home
to greet our guests.

Now we'll never make it.

We'll have to walk...

Now.

His Grace, the Honourable
Clarence Marylebone,

the third Duke of Sandringham.

Jamie, what a vision of elegance.

A man who always manages
to look fashionable,

whatever the setting.

Welcome, Your Grace.

Pleased to meet you, Lord Broch Tuarach.

Alex is my secretary.

Oh, of course, you know his brother,
Captain Randall.

Aye.

We're acquainted.

Hmm, run along now, Alex.

Go and assist the servants.

Uh, yes, Your Grace,
and I shall dine with the butler.

MAGNUS: Mr Silas Hawkins
and le Vicomte Marigny.

Welcome, sir. You must be Mary's uncle.

My wife is very fond of the lass.

My niece spends entirely too much
time engaging in social activity.

May I present the Vicomte Marigny,

her fiancé.

Monsieur Jean Ribes
et Madame Anne-Marie Ribes.

Monsieur et Madame LeClaire.

(LAUGHTER)

...that's the last time
I'm going to tell you how to do that.

(ALL LAUGHING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Milord, there is a problem with the carriage.

There would be lateness involved.

His Royal Highness,
Prince Charles Edward Stuart.

Your Royal Highness. Welcome.

High hopes, James.

Mark me,

tonight could be a turning point for us.

(SOFTLY) Aye, I believe it will be.

Your Royal Highness,

may I present the Honourable
Clarence Marylebone,

third Duke of Sandringham.

Your Grace,
may I present His Royal Highness,

Prince Charles Edward Stuart.

Such a delight finally to meet you.

I've heard such grand praise.

The feeling is quite mutual, Your Grace.

MAGNUS: Monsieur Christophe Bessette
et Lady Bessette.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I've met someone I find most intriguing.

We've been corresponding
in secret for weeks now.

Really?

Do tell.

He's handsome, intelligent,

and his letters are of such eloquence,

I couldn't help but fall in love with him.

Well, who is this gentleman?

MARY: Oh, I shouldn't tell you this,

but his name's Randall.

Randall?

What?

Well, how did you meet him?

I dropped my handkerchief,
and he picked it up.

It was so romantic.

Where was this?

At Versailles.

Remember, when you wore the red dress.

(GASPING)

- You're speaking of Alex Randall.
- (CHUCKLES)

Yes.

Is there another?

(SCRAPING)

- (GRUNTS)
- Murtagh!

(ALL GRUNTING)

(YELLING IN FRENCH)

Help!

(ALL GRUNTING)

(GASPING)

(CLAIRE PANTING)

- (MARY GRUNTING)

Anyone!

Brigands! Assassins! HELP

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Stay with the man.

(WOMEN GASPING)

Be still, you English bitch!

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(CLOTH RIPPING)

(MAN SPEAKING FRENCH)

A virgin! I've got a virgin!

No, please, no!

Leave her alone!

(SCREAMS)

Le Comte et la Comtesse St Germain.

(SANDRINGHAM SPEAKING FRENCH)

How marvellous to see you...

...and your charming Comtesse!

I took the liberty of inviting
my associate the Comte.

It should be easy to place
two more settings at table.

Delighted.

- (CRYING)
- (GRUNTING)

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Hold her!

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

My God!

It's La Dame Blanche!

(CONTINUES SPEAKING FRENCH)

- (GRUNTS)
- (SCREAMS)

- Huh?
- (ALL SHOUTING IN FRENCH)

Run! It's La Dame Blanche!

Come back, you fools!

Run, save your soul!

(MARY SOBBING)

MAGNUS: General D'Arbanville.

General, pleased you could come.

I've been looking forward to it.

Le Marquis de Rohan et Madame Louise de la
Tour Marquise de Rohan.

You're most welcome.

Allow me to introduce to you
His Royal Highness,

Prince Charles Edward Stuart.

A pleasure, Your Royal Highness.

Indeed.

A rare jewel you've brought.

(LOUISE CHUCKLING)

Milord.

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

(MAN LAUGHING)

What happened?

We were attacked on the street.

- Four brigands.
- I tried to fight them off.

Are you hurt, Sassenach? The bairn, is it...

No, we're okay.

But Mary, she was assaulted and raped.

Good God, what...

- No, no, no, Monsieur...
- CLAIRE: It's all right.

It's all right.

(GASPS)

She's hurt badly,

and passed out from the shock,

but she'll be all right.

(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

- Did you recognise them?
- No.

- They wore masks.
- Then we shall find them.

Aye, let's go.

No.

Not now.

Tonight is too important.

What we're going to do is
we're going to look after this poor girl.

Take her up to the guest room
where she'll be safe.

Fergus, go get my medical box.

Tout de suite, Milady.

Suzette, you can help me dress.

Are you daft, woman?

Help me get her inside.

We'll take the back staircase.

No one will see us.

Can you stay with her?

She needs some quiet and rest.

ALEXANDER: I won't leave her side.

If she wakes up, give her some water or tea,

and this poppy syrup.

Not too much, as it can cause visions.

I've already given her a dose.

Dinner's not served.

We can still cancel, send everyone home.

No, I've told you,

there's too much at stake.

We need to alert the authorities about Mary.

We can't.

Mary's uncle and fiancé are here.

If she's been violated,
her reputation will be ruined.

It's hardly her fault she was raped.

I know it isna right, but if we let it be
known she's a maiden no more,

no man will ever take her.

She'll be a spinster till the end of her days.

That's ridiculous!

- She needs a doctor.
- She has one.

You.

I'd lay odds that black-hearted
bastard St Germain was behind this.

I should go out there right now
and cut his head off.

What do you mean?

He's here?

Aye.

In the parlour. The Duke invited him.

Christ!

No one is getting their head cut off tonight.

You should go.

I'll let the guests know you're here.

I'll be right there.

(SIGHING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(SIGHS) Deep breath.

(EXHALES)

Okay.

Let's go. (INHALES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Mesdames et messieurs,
Your Grace, Your Royal Highness,

allow me to present my wife,

Claire Fraser,

Lady Broch Tuarach.

So wonderful to see you all.

My sincerest apologies for my delay.

You must be famished.
(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Come, dinner is served.

(WHISPERS) So good to see you.

How's everything at home?

I've told him.

I convinced him
it happened on a drunken night...

The baby is his.

He was mad with joy. (CHUCKLES)

(SOFT GROAN)

Shh. (WHISPERING) Sleep now, I'm here.

You're safe now.

I love you, Mary.

I'll take good care of you.

MAN: Lovely.

(WOMAN GIGGLES)

We're fortunate to have
His Royal Highness with us from Italy.

What a resplendent country.

I had occasion to visit it last year.

My one disappointment
was my trip to the Vatican.

His Grace was just telling me
he wished to meet Pope Benedict.

Yes, but he was too busy to receive me.

And what do popes do anyway? (CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHING) Does anyone know?

I imagine being leader of the Catholic Church

keeps him rather occupied.

DUKE OF SANDRINGHAM: Yes.

Have you met him?

Indeed.

He's been exceedingly
generous to my family.

As have the past four popes.

I just wanted to ascertain
whether the Pope is as witty as they say.

The man's celebrated across
Rome for his bon mots.

(SCATTERED CHUCKLES)

You've been known to tell a joke or two,
Your Grace.

Perhaps you'd favour us?

Oh, no, I really don't...

Uh, well... (STUTTERS)

(LAUGHING) Well, I mean...

Just the one. Uh...

What did the dwarf
say when asked for five shillings?

"Apologies, I'm a trifle short."

(LAUGHTER)

(GUESTS MURMURING)

CLAIRE: Still reeling from the attack,

I couldn't help staring at St Germain

and wondering whether he could
have orchestrated such violence

and then sat calmly across the table from me

two hours later, sipping his soup.

Your Royal Highness,
perhaps we should enlighten His Grace

as to some of your plans.

God's plans.

Mark me,

His are the only plans that matter.

It is His plan that I,

as His emissary,

unite the clans
and restore a Catholic to the throne.

Must we talk politics?

- It's so dreary. (CHUCKLES)
- MAN: Yeah.

What about the opera?

- Ah!
- (LOUISE CHUCKLES)

Has anyone attended
Lully's Acis et Galathee?

Of course, we all have!

My husband and I found it breathtaking.

Are you married, sir?

It's a wonderment,

but I have not yet found
a woman who would put up with me.

(LAUGHTER)

Well, they are fickle creatures, indeed.

Well, Jamie managed
to find himself a worthy one.

I must say, I think
combination of their respective beauties

will result in a child
of unfathomable pulchritude.

- (SANDRINGHAM CHUCKLING)
- Merci.

I understand congratulations are in order

for madame and the Marquis as well.

Why, yes, um...

We are looking forward
to the arrival of a little one.

I apologise, I thought...

We haven't formally announced it yet...

But an heir!

It's the most incredible news, is it not?

(GUESTS MURMURING)

Well, then...

I am to congratulate you.

I wish you and the Marquis
all the happiness in the world.

Thank you, Your Royal Highness.

- Santé.
- Santé.

Santé.

(GLASS THUDS)

Of course, the world is not
always a happy place.

It's quite unpredictable, really.

One day you're happy, and the next...

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

Your pardon, sir,
but I'm a little in the dark as to your meaning.

Yes.

I believe you are a man "in the dark," indeed.

(SCOFFS)

(GROANS)

It's all right. I'm here.

(WHIMPERS)

(GASPS)

- Mary...
- No, no, no.

Get away from me!

Everything's all right.
Here, I'll get your medicine.

That is a beautiful stone
you wear around your neck, madame.

Oh, it's just a bauble.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Lady Broch Tuarach is being...

...far too modest.

That is actually a very particular stone.

It is said to be magic...

...if one...

...believes in such things.

Indeed, it changes colour...

...when poison is near.

If the Lady is so worried...

...about the cooking in her own home,

perhaps we should all have a stone?

(SCOFFS)

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Perhaps...
...you should.

Mary, wait, it's all right!

(GRUNTS)

- Mary, Mary!
- No! Get off me!

I'm not trying to hurt you!

- No!
- (SPEAKING FRENCH)

What is that?

- (MARY SCREAMING)
- (GUESTS MURMURING)

MARY: No! No, get off me!

(SCREAMING)

- (YELLING INDISTINCTLY)
- (MAN SPEAKING FRENCH)

He's raping her!

JAMIE: Mary!

- It's all right.
- (MAN SPEAKING FRENCH)

Let her go at once!

- Gentlemen, be reasonable.
- (YELLING)

Mary!

What on earth are you doing here?

Ruined! You ruined my niece!

She is my fiancée! (GRUNTING)

CLAIRE: Mary, come with me.

I was so looking forward to dessert...

(MEN SHOUTING)

But I suppose it is getting rather late.

(GRUNTING)

Stop it, everyone, at once!

(MEN GROANING, GRUNTING)

(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

(GRUNTS)

There is no reason to be uncivil!

Yes, and Your Highness should not be
subjected to such intemperance.

Let us depart.

I regret leaving my friend James with these...

Ruffians.

(GRUNTS)

Don't trouble yourself.

I will take care of it.

- (GLASS SHATTERS)
- Merci.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Summon the gens d'armes.

(MEN CONTINUE FIGHTING)

(MEN GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

Ah!
