Outlander: Blood of My Blood (2025) s01e10 Episode Script

1
[Brian] Previously
[grunting]
Murtagh.
If anyone's going to kill you,
it's going to be me.
Meet me at Leathers.
I'll leave a mark for you
by the tree near the broken wall.
I'll find the mark and meet you there.
[dramatic music plays]
You, Fraser, are a liar,
a fantasist, and a scoundrel.
Ye're soon to be wed, lad.
- Well, ye'll be charmed by her.
- [chuckles]
I willna harm him, or see him harmed.
You have my word.
You must break wi' him. For good.
You have my word.
Christ, I've missed you.
What is it?
We canna be together, Brian.
I was beguiled by you for a time,
but my heart has changed.
'Tis over between us.
[Brian] I love you, Ellen MacKenzie.
["Maple Leaf Rag"
by Scott Joplin playing]
[car horn honks]
[engine sputtering]
Are you gonna share the cake with bunny?
What's Mommy got?
Oh, look at that.
- [Henry gasps]
- [squeals]
Yes!
[laughter]
Oh, this is for you, my darling.
[Henry gasps] Yes.
Big blow.
Make a wish.
[laughing] Well done.
Well done.
To Claire.
May all your years
on this gloriously extraordinary Earth
be as joyful and love-filled
as these first two.
And to the grand
adventures awaiting you
may whichever paths you
take lead you far and wide,
yet always guide you back home.
[chuckles]
Travels and adventures for
a two-year-old, Q, really?
Ah.
Just look at those eyes.
[giggles]
Mark my words.
She has the spirit of an explorer.
And she understands the importance
of careful excavation.
[laughs] Can I please
keep my little girl
a bit longer before you send her off
to excavate Egyptian tombs?
Yes, perhaps we have some
simpler expeditions first
Hyde Park, perhaps.
Right, big slice for the birthday girl.
Ready?
Mmm.
[Julia chuckles]
[Henry] Wow!
- [Lamb] There we go.
- [Henry] Look at this.
- A big slice for Claire.
- [Lamb] Oh.
- Ah.
- [Henry] Big birthday girl.

[bagpipes playing]
[birds chirping]
No' a man of substance.
Surely that depends on
the measuring of it.
I've plenty to offer.
Aye, well, ye must have
a wee bit of something
if someone's willing to pay
handsomely to see ye dead.
Ellen doesna want me anymore.
Beggars belief, does it not?
We're fighting for our lives
in the thick of danger,
and yer mind's on Ellen?
Ye're mind's gone soft.
[Brian sighs]
Mind, I'd love to help put
an end to yer suffering
and so would the Gallowglasses.
But unlike me, they,
and whoever paid them,
want to see you buried six foot under.
Her words said one thing,
but her eyes another.
[sighs]
I canna make sense of it.
Take heed, man!
If ye dinna care for your own life,
have a thought for mine!
[sighs]
I
Forget what she said.
What did her eyes tell you?
They belied her words.
And what does your heart tell you?
I'll love her till my dying breath.
[softly] Aye.
[sighs]
[sighs]
I am sorry, Murtagh.
I am.
I ken ye
ye didna want to hear that.
I used to imagine a life wi' Ellen,
dream of what could be.
But now I see it's
it's nothing like the
love she bears for you.
- Not anymore.
- Aye.
She does, I've seen the
way she looks at you.
She loves you.
Yours is the kind of love
ye hear about in legends
beyond the reach of any ordinary man.
She's meant for you, and you for her.
There's a reason she broke from me.
There must be.
Ye're free to walk into Leoch.
Aye.
As good as invited to the wedding,
but the day is nigh.
[pensive music plays]
Will you help me get to her?
So she willna wed Malcolm
Grant after all, then?
Not if I have anything to do with it.
[twig snaps]
[dramatic music plays]
[screaming]
[grunts]
[yelling]
Ah!
[grunting]
[grunting]
[arrow whistling]
[arrow whistling]
Ah!
[shouting and grunting]
[panting]
- [arrow whistling]
- [groans]
[groans]
[groaning]
That should hold.
Aye.
Ah!
[panting]
[grunts]
[groans]
Who hired ye?
[grunts]
I said, who hired ye!
[growls]
[pants]
You will regret this silence.
[gasps]
Colum
Colum MacKenzie.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Murtagh] Christ.
I ken they didna like ye,
but spending coin to murder ye?
Why would Colum wish ye dead?
To keep me from Ellen for good,
assure his union with the Grants.
[panting]
Forgive me,
but I canna leave you alive.
[grunts]
[groaning]
How can I leave ye?
Ah, 'tis a scratch, that's all.
Go.
Hold fast, cousin.
I'll return as soon as I can.
It may no' be the dream ye
held in yer heart, my dear,
but a ceremony fit for royalty.
Am I to be queen or captive?
A bit of both, perhaps.
But even if it is a cage,
it's said that Castle Grant's walls
are lined with silk and gold.
[sighs] Well, Glenna,
at least we shall explore
its grandeur together.
[MacRannoch] Lady Ellen.
Mistress Fitzgibbons.
Good day.
Mr. MacRannoch.
I canna claim to be happy.
It's a grievous day for all
unwed men in the Highlands.
[chuckles]
'Tis God's design and not mine
that ye're bound to another.
But with all the sincerity of my soul,
I offer my heartfelt wishes
on your union, Lady Ellen.
Thank you.
What's this?
A gift to commemorate your wedding.
Oh, that's kind of ye.
Mr. MacRannoch, ye understand that
Mr. Grant will arrive soon,
and we canna have him laying eyes upon
Lady Ellen before the wedding.
'Tis bad luck.
[soft music plays]
[Ellen] Thank you.
[Hetty panting]
[moaning, grunting]
[clears throat]
Oh!
There you are, Hetty.
Aye, m'lady.
[Maura] Well, I dinna mean to interrupt,
but when ye're finished
with yer business here,
I need you in my chamber.
As you wish, m'lady.
And who might you be?
Your soon-to-be sister-in-law.
Maura Grant?
Aye.
Ye've grown.
You've a keen sense of observation,
Dougal MacKenzie.
[chuckles]
[Maura] You've grown as well.
As ye were.
[birds chirping]
Who will inherit this chamber, I wonder?
If fortune smiles on us,
it'll be Letitia,
with a bairn on the way.
I suppose ye'll have to
hope that Malcolm is keen
to hear ye read these books aloud,
since ye'll have little
time to do as ye please.
Not that ye'll be too
keen to bother much
with wifely duties.
Perhaps not, Jocasta.
What's this? No sharp remark?
Ye speak the truth.
I understand the workings
of a household well enough,
but I've neglected some
of the finer points
things our mother managed.
I've much to learn.
Perhaps you'll guide me.
Me?
Guide you?
[Ellen] You're more practiced than I.
[Jocasta] Are ye unwell?
No.
But I am sorry.
An apology?
Whatever for?
For not consulting you
before our father arranged your match.
Had I known then what I know now,
I would have sought your counsel.
What's prompted this change of heart?
A shift in my perspective.
Recent events didn't
unfold as I expected.
Janet, I owe you an apology as well.
Dinna fash, Ellen.
Not all matches are to be mourned.
I find myself quite content.
I'm truly glad to hear it.
To see the three of you
together like this,
'tis a sight to warm the heart.
[Janet] Save your tears
for tomorrow, Glenna.
We've a lively gathering of women today.
The hens for Ellen's weddin' feast
willna pluck themselves.
[chuckling]
[birds chirping, animals chittering]
Insolent fools to affront me like that.
The gall of Malcolm Grant to
call me out before everyone.
And Erskine
he'll nurse this grudge
till the end of days.
That bastard can't let anything go.
Perhaps better to
forget Grant's insults.
They've been troubling you
since we left the tynchal.
But if you dwell on them
and allow such thoughts to take root
Hold your tongue, woman.
You've no understanding of a man's honor
or the weight of his pride.
What do you know about anything?
I know that one day
our son will be king.
And all will bow to you, My Lord.
Huh.
Indeed.
Aye.
Of all flowers, methinks
the rose,
the English rose is best.
[tense music plays]
Simon will be king.
[Julia] Perhaps some
rest after our journey
will ease your mind.
A clear head would serve
you well in plotting
your next move.
[sighs]
Huh.
Aye, you may be right.
A good night's sleep will clear my mind
and help me discern the way
to clear Simon's path
no matter what stands in the way.
Your strength and wisdom
will guide us through these challenges.
[Lovat] You will come to my
bedchamber tonight, Julia.
[sweeping music plays]
[birds chirping]
[chatter]
[Janet] Go on, go on, go on.
[Mrs. Fitz] 'Tis no use asking me.
[Jocasta] Go on, Glenna.
'Tis your turn.
Regale us with something
a wee bit filthy.
[laughter]
All in the spirit of fun,
of course, or pay the price.
What's the sauciest thing
Mr. Fitzgibbons has ever told ye?
- Go on!
- I canna tell ye that.
Ye can!
I told you what Mr. Cameron said.
Glenna, go on.
Go on. [laughs]
- When we were newly married
- Mm?
He
he told me that I set
his loins aflame
[giggling]
with my luscious lips
[laughter]
and my comely hips.
[laughter]
You have earned a drink.
[sighs] - We all need
one after hearing that.
For both your pleasure and as penance.
And ye'll need to give a
pearl of your finest wisdom
for the bonnie bride.
[coughs]
I canna think.
Em, eh, never swim with a full stomach.
Aye, or swive.
[laughter]
Ellen, 'tis your turn to entertain us.
No.
- Let someone else go.
- [laughter]
Course, ye willna have any
saucy tales yourself just yet.
[chuckles]
A sweet, sprightly
spinster wed at Westminster
solemnly swore to survive her
unsightly, simple spouse.
[laughter]
Your turn, Jocasta.
Let's see if you can do better.
A sprightly, sweet minster
wed at Westspinster
[laughter]
Ye're impossible to beat,
Ellen MacKenzie.
An "unsightly simple spouse"?
I must say, Ellen,
you have quite the knack
for stirring the pot.
Have I caused offense, Maura?
It's only a silly verse.
It's a bit of fun.
In a manner of speaking, aye.
Malcolm's held you in his heart
since he was but a wee lad of seven,
that summer our families met.
I have a concern for his well-being,
and thus for the match he makes.
And who asked for your thoughts
on the matter, Maura Grant?
We're here to celebrate,
not to make fun of your brother's looks.
Indeed, yet as his sister,
it is my duty to speak
and express my hope
that this union is as
cherished by you, Ellen,
as it is anticipated by Malcolm.
[mischievous music plays]
Jocasta Cameron.
I never thought there'd come a day
when you'd leap to my defense.
Well, if anyone's to give you
a bit of grief, it'll be me,
not some boot-mouthed,
hoity-toity Grant straight off the moor.
- [laughter]
- No.
Let us not forget, Ellen, we're sisters,
bound by blood
and mischief.
[laughter]
Yay!
[Davina] Your husband is here then?
[Julia] Yes. I've left a sign for him
by the tree near the broken wall.
That's where William
and I will meet him.
Well, ye must act quickly, lass.
Go fetch the bairn.
The wet nurse willna
give you any bother.
Once you have him,
go straight to the tree.
I'll distract Balloch, keep him close.
What is it?
If we are caught, I
I can't ask you to risk your life.
After all you've done
to keep Brian from harm,
I'll gladly take that risk.
No, no, no, you won't.
After I'm clear of the house,
alert Balloch.
Tell him that I've been taken,
kidnapped.
Kidnapped? Have you lost yer mind?
Perhaps.
But at the very least,
it'll protect you from Lovat's wrath.
All right.
Oh, Davina.
I can't thank you enough.
Oh, you've thanked me enough, lass,
by protecting my son's life.
Now you give your wee son a kiss for me.
I will tell William all about you.
[sighs]
Go on now.
Godspeed.
[dramatic music plays]
[door rattles]
Balloch!
Balloch!
Henry?
Julia!
A man is coming after us.
Hide and follow my lead.
Balloch!
Please!
Help me!
Please!
Thank goodness.
There's a man who tried
to abduct Simon and me.
[groans]
No! Leave him.
He needs to bear witness
so the woman who helped
me won't be harmed.
Come. My horse is nearby.
[dramatic music plays]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[tense music plays]
[grunts]
[door rattles]
[gentle music plays]
Oh, lass.
Oh, such generosity,
and such good wishes.
How lucky ye've been.
Aye.
Save the last stitch
until the last moment,
and your luck will continue.
Are we ready?
Shall I do it now?
This one as well.
Be careful when you're taking them out.
[helper] Yes, ma'am, right away.
[Jocasta] Be very careful.
Of course.
You there, lass.
Can ye help me?
Have something for Lady
Ellen from Malcolm Grant.
He wants her to have it now.
Can you tell me where her chamber is?
I saw you at Beltane,
with Murtagh, in Fraser tartan.
Did you?
No' many men hereabout with
hair as black as yours.
[sighs]
Ye're Ellen's sister.
Jocasta Cameron.
And you are?
Brian Fraser.
And why would a Fraser
disguised as a Grant
want to see my sister on
the day of her wedding?
For what purpose?
Can ye please take me to her?
Do you think I'm a fool, Brian Fraser?
Why should I trust you when
ye've lied about who ye are?
Ye've no reason to trust me.
But there is something Ellen
must know before she weds.
I should call to the guards.
You could, Mrs. Cameron.
Ye ken I wouldna be here
without good reason.
[tense music plays]
If ye promise to take me to her chamber,
I'll share the reason for my presence.
[soft music plays]
[knocking on door]
[Mrs. Fitz] Ah. Come in, dear.
Come and see your sister.
Ellen.
Brian?
Why have you come?
[door clicks]
It's too dangerous for you to be here.
[Jocasta] Aye,
even more so when you consider
that Colum arranged to have him killed.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
[Jacosta] Hired the Gallowglasses
to do the deed for him.
Tried twice, and wounded Murtagh.
Murtagh's been hurt?
[Ellen] Colum broke his word.
He promised me that no
harm would befall you.
Ye must go, now.
We've enough to worry about
The man risked his life to be here.
Let Ellen hear what he has to say.
Ye said ye didna love me.
And I canna accept that as the truth.
Ye may tell me again that
yer heart has changed,
but mine hasnae.
I love you, Ellen MacKenzie.
And I'm yours,
always and forever,
whatever that means to ye.
[sweeping music plays]
You have my heart,
my body, and my soul.
[Mrs. Fitz] Lady Ellen, no.
Heaven knows what Colum will do.
And ye ken what the Grants will do
if ye refuse to marry Malcolm.
You gave him your word.
Aye.
And he gave me his.
Colum broke his promise.
And that frees me of mine.
[exhales]
Ellen.
It's not customary for
a bride to be seen
before her wedding,
but I needed to speak to you.
So I've come.
I ken this hasna been easy.
Thank you for standing strong today,
for the clan.
You can thank me after the ceremony.
[chuckles]
[Ellen] Is there nothing else?
No burden you wish to share?
After today, such moments may be scarce.
All is well,
thankfully.
The rest can wait
for my letters.
Since ye're here,
allow me to give ye this.
I expect many in return.
Ye're too generous, Colum.
Surely once I'm a Grant,
you'll have little time for the concerns
of another man's wife.
Ye'll always be my sister, Ellen.
I hope we continue to share everything
as we always have.
I mean that.
There is one more thing.
Father's sword.
Aye.
It is tradition.
As the eldest, it's right
that it goes to your groom
as a symbol of our allegiance
and Malcolm's duty to protect you.
It is our final mark of
respect to the Grants.
We lay down our sword at their feet
for our love of you.
[tense music plays]
Well, then let this be the last
thing you ever do in my name,
or for love of me.
If you'll excuse me,
I need to prepare for my future.
[door rattles close]
[Julia] Oh, look at them, Henry.
It's as if Quentin was
born to teach her about
all the wonders of the natural world.
And I do love that she
calls him Uncle Lamb.
[laughter]
[Claire] I got it!
[Lamb] Now, look, this. This.
[Henry] Well, he's the perfect mentor.
This is called the bivalve shell.
[Claire] They're perfect.
[Henry] Oh, speaking of adventure,
Mr. Knowles can't attend
the solicitors' conference
in Edinburgh due to some family matters,
so he's asked me to go instead.
- To Scotland?
- Mm.
Do you remember our early letters,
dreaming about the Highlands?
- I certainly do.
- [chuckles]
The heather, lochs, glens and burns.
So once I've attended to my business,
I thought maybe we could turn
those dreams into reality.
I've arranged a little holiday for us.
[Lamb] Should we see if
we can do a sand castle?
Just the two of us?
Yes.
Sort of romantic journey.
We could take the train up to Inverness,
drive around the lochs,
explore the Highlands,
just me and you.
Our Claire will have a jolly old time
here with my brother.
Tap for luck.
Oh.
- [laughs]
- It's perfect.
I thought it could be our little escape.
[Claire] No, I wanna do more.
That sounds perfect.
[chuckling]
[sniffles]
You know, I've been perusing
some travel brochures.
They rather suggest it's
like stepping back in time.
It's quite fitting, don't you think?
[Claire] Do you want to try
- I can't wait.
- Mm.
A-and Henry
Yes?
there might be another little one
joining us on our adventures soon.
[soft music plays]
You're not
Yes, I just found out.
[both laughing]
[laughter]
[crowd murmuring]
Ellen is gone?
Aye,
vanished into thin air,
on the very day of our wedding.
She has made a mockery of
our agreement, of our clans!
[Ned] Let us not jump to conclusions.
There may be reasons
for her disappearance
that we may not yet understand
Reasons?
On our wedding day,
there is no reason under the sun
that would be enough to
justify this betrayal!
And you. [fist bangs on table]
You will pay for this dearly.
[bangs table]
When Mr. Bug returns my bladier to me,
I'll be certain he makes
adequate reparations
for this grave offense.
She gave me her word that
she would see this through!
Clan Grant came here under
the promise of a union.
If it is not a wedding
that binds our clans,
then it will be a price paid in blood.
We're not leaving Castle Leoch
without a head or a hand.
We will find my sister.
She will answer to us for her actions.
I will see to it that
our alliance holds
one way or another.
[tense music plays]
[door rattles]
[lock clicks]
Where do we go from here?
Find Dougal.
We cannot go to war with the Grants
Ned, find my brother.
[solemn music plays]
His skills are crucial
now more than ever.
We need him.
And what shall I tell him?
Tell him that his clan needs him.
That's all.
Ensure he understands the urgency,
but not the cause.
I trust you to handle
this with discretion, Ned.
Aye, my Laird.
[bagpipes playing]
[crowd murmuring]
[priest] A union blessed by God
brings us together on this sacred day.
Let the groom step forward
and join his bride.
[crowd gasping, murmuring]
Dougal MacKenzie,
wilt thou take this woman to
be thy lawfully wedded wife?
Dougal MacKenzie,
wilt thou take this woman
Aye.
And Lady Maura Grant,
do you take this man
to be thy lawfully wedded husband?
Aye.
In the presence of God and
before these witnesses,
I now pronounce you man and wife.
What God hath joined together,
let no man put asunder.
Aye, aye.
[applause]
[lively music plays]
[Ellen] I never wanted to
leave you like that, Brian.
Or to wound ye.
But Colum promised me
he wouldna harm you
if I stayed away from you.
Oh, dinna fash.
Ye think if I'd believed ye,
I'd be here now?
I'm no' fond of cramped spaces.
Or the company of chickens,
if memory serves.
- [chuckles]
- [door rattles]
[Jocasta] All hell broke loose
when they discovered ye gone.
Ye should've seen the
look in Dougal's eyes
when Colum told him he
had to marry a Grant.
I thought he was gonna lose
the contents of his bowels
there and then.
Dougal will be marrying Maura,
so there'll be a wedding after all.
It'll keep everyone occupied.
[chuckles]
My congratulations to him and Maura.
Since we're not presently at war,
I'm glad he's found a way to be useful.
We'll return when the
festivities are in full swing.
Brian and I can slip
away then, unnoticed.
Ye've finally found yer calling.
[chuckles]
I love you too.
[indistinct chatter]
[jaunty music plays]
- [laughter]
- Oh, watch it, there.
Here's to cheating,
stealing, fighting,
and drinking.
If ye cheat,
may ye cheat death.
If ye steal,
may ye steal a woman's heart.
If ye fight, may ye fight for a brother.
And if ye drink, may ye drink wi' me.
To our bride and groom.
Sląinte Mhath.
[all] Sląinte Mhath.
[cheers and applause]
[pounding table]
[applause and pounding]
Shall we?
Shall we what?
Uh, consummate the union.
Now?
I canna see why not.
[clears throat]
Take me to your bedchamber.
[indistinct chatter]
[clapping]
[cheers and applause]
[jaunty music plays]
[laughter]
[clapping]
[muffled music continues]
Very well.
Sorry. Uh, right now?
I've seen ye. Ye ken what to do.
Aye. [chuckles]
This is, uh-this is different.
I'm a lass.
Ye're a laddie.
Aye, I just
I didna awaken thinking today
would be my wedding day.
'Tis only an ordeal if ye make it one.
The sooner we're finished,
the sooner we can go down
to the feast.
Or d'ye not enjoy drinking and dancing?
[scoffs] Of course I do.
We have something in common then.
Does this suit you?
D'ye not wish to be undressed
by your ladies' maid?
[Maura] And waste time being
dressed all over again?
It took an age to bind
me into this garment.
I dinna wish to suffer
through it twice in one day.
[chuckles]
Would ye prefer that I
dinna see your face
and ye dinna see mine?
[chuckles]
[lively music plays]
[knocking]
[Mrs. Fitz] 'Tis time.
She'll need these.
We owe ye our lives.
Thank you both.
We couldn't have done this without you.
Just make your way safely, child.
That will be thanks enough.
I'll never forget ye.
Glenna Fitzgibbons,
you would forget your own name
if I didna call you by it every day.
Aye, every single day since
ye were a wee lassie.
Goodbye, Lady Ellen.
[gentle music plays]
[sniffling]
[sighs] Thank you.
No one will glance at ye twice
if ye behave as if ye belong.
[sniffling]
Go.
And dinna look back.
[dramatic music plays]
[sighs]
[jaunty music plays]
Your grandfather would say
whiskey will fix what God cannot.
I should never have agreed to this.
You werena in any state to
make such decisions, lad.
But good leadership isn't only
about making all the decisions.
It's about knowing when
to let others step in.
Ye're not just following in
your father Isaac's footsteps.
Ye're becoming the man he was.
And it stings now, but with time
Dinna talk to me of healing!
[Mac sighs]
[chuckles] Lower your voice.
Remember who ye are-a Grant.
Conduct yourself as the
man ye are, a Laird.
The man I am
was supposed to be with
Lady Ellen by my side.
Oh.
She fled from ye,
ensnared ye with her charms,
deceived ye.
Mind how ye talk of her.
Oh. [scoffs]
Do ye wish to break the
spell she's cast upon you?
I canna see how that's possible.
Revenge, lad.
[tense music plays]
Revenge can mend a broken heart, oh aye.
Find out what the lass cherishes most
in all the world,
and take it away from her.
Wound her as she's wounded you.
'Tis the only way to rid
yourself of this torment.
Nurse your broken heart tomorrow.
For today, we rejoice
for your sister's sake,
on her wedding day.
[jaunty music plays]
[glasses clinking]
Good lad.
[indistinct chatter]
[moaning, panting]
Mm.
U-uh, is-is all well?
Aye.
Uh, have I hurt you?
No.
Have you
Uh, no, no.
Our business is not concluded then.
Up.
[grunting]
[panting]
[bed creaking]
[moaning]
[jaunty music plays]
[Rupert] Angus, ye're taking too much.
Leave some for me.
Ye'd drink the whole lot if I let you.
[belches]
[farts]
Ugh.
[laughter]
[sighs]
Lady Ellen.
You've returned to me.
Ye're no Grant man.
What's the meaning of this?
I'm sorry.
[tense music plays]
You lying, two-faced Jezebel.
Ye've jilted me?
Thrown me away for this
poor excuse of a man?
Why?
I never made any
promises to you, Malcolm.
It was all arranged.
I hold no ill will towards you.
I'm fond of you,
but my heart belongs to Brian.
I'm sorry.
And what'll he do with it, hm?
What could he give you, this nobody?
I thought your intentions
were honorable.
Yet, here you are with this lowlife
this bastard!
Shh.
Mr. Grant, let us pass.
Not while there's
breath left in my body.
Malcolm, please.
[dramatic music plays]
Dinna do this.
[grunts]
- [grunts]
- [blades twang]
- Malcolm, stop.
- Ellen, no!
[grunts]
Brian!
I'll beg ye, if I must. Please.
For Ellen's sake, please.
[Ellen] Please, no.
[grunting]
- [flesh squelches]
- [grunts]
[somber music plays]
I'm sorry.
[grim music plays]
[sniffles]
[Brian] Come.
[dramatic music plays]
[horse nickers]
[sighs]
If ye're here, there are
some angry folk at Leoch
a murderous MacKenzie or two, I'll bet.
- Are we safe?
- Aye.
We made our way along the water's edge.
None but an eagle could
have followed us here.
Your leg, are ye in much pain?
Depends if ye brought food or no'.
That's a good start.
But by food, I also mean whiskey.
There-there we are.
Feeling better already.
[Brian] Good.
There will be trouble.
Malcolm is dead.
[somber music plays]
I killed him.
He was forced to do it.
Malcolm tried to stop
us and would not relent.
Well,
that's unfortunate.
And he would have hunted us
for the rest of our days.
[Brian] He forced me, but
I'd do it again.
I'd do anything for ye.
[soft music plays]
[Ellen sniffles]
[horse nickers]
Did you not see which direction
that wretched admirer took them?
No, M'Laird
Worthless woman!
Did you not see anything at all?
I saw my lady struggling
to fight off the man
with wee Simon in her arms.
And then I cried out
for Balloch at once.
Balloch, bested by a
Sassenach-a disgrace!
Allowing my precious son
to be taken from me.
That demented thief of a man
will suffer the consequences
for what he's done here.
When you've finished here,
Davina, get back inside
and tend to Balloch.
Make him well enough to join me!
- Go!
- Aye, M'Laird.
[horse galloping]
What is your business here?
I'm searching for the man by the name of
Henry Beauchamp Grant.
The bladier of Clan Grant?
Aye.
I have it on good authority
he's come this way.
A woman told me he spoke
with the lady of this castle
at Braemar.
[Lovat] Then this is the
treacherous bladier?
He's the man who's
taken my wife and son.
He's a Grant man?
It's likely he willna
be a Grant man for long.
[bodyman whistles]
Tracks, going north.
Wait, and I'll join you.
[Arch] Sir, with respect,
you're not my Laird.
I dinna answer to ye.
If I find your wife and
bairn with the man I seek,
I'll do what I can to return them to ye.
[clicks tongue] Come!
[dramatic music plays]
Curse this Henry Beauchamp Grant.
Damn him to hell.
There's nothing I would not do for you,
nothing I would not give you,
if it's in my power to do so.
You've already given me everything
by leaving everything and
everyone to be with me.
I always believed that
happiness was elusive,
never truly within reach.
A balance of feeling and duty, perhaps.
But I never imagined it
would feel like this.
Which is why we must fight for it,
though ye'll be grieving for
what you've left behind
your family, all you've ever known.
I'll remember the good,
and close the door on the bad.
[soft music plays]
With you is where I'm meant to be.
[sighs]
[baby cooing]
[tense music plays]
[birds chirping]
[grunts]
Your leg.
[sighs] Doesna hurt a bit.
Where's Brian?
Scouting to ensure that we're
out of harm's way here.
Aye.
[coughing]
I want to thank you, Murtagh,
for all that you've done.
Without your help,
where would we be?
Brian told me that you saved his life.
You saved his life as well,
gave him a reason to truly live.
Well, that makes two of us, then.
I'm not sure what comes next,
but I'm so happy,
I'm not certain I care.
I have something for you, Ellen.
There's no need to give me anything.
You've done so much already.
[soft music plays]
I can't accept these.
They're so beautiful.
You must keep them in your family.
I made them only with you in mind
to give you on your wedding day.
- Murtagh.
- No.
Dinna dare pity my affection for you,
Ellen MacKenzie.
This will be between us.
And I will cherish them always,
as I will cherish our friendship.
I'll never ask a thing of ye
except that ye let me find
my happiness in yours and Brian's.
'Tis where I find my peace.
I promise.
[lively music plays]
[groans]
Mind yer leg.
[Murtagh] Mind yerself.
'Tis good to stand.
Canna sit around any longer.
Aye.
I'm, uh
I'm going hunting,
and willna return till the morning,
at the very earliest.
Murtagh's left us for a wee while.
We've the bothy to ourselves, then.
Aye.
Off with that shirt, Brian Fraser.
I need to look at your wee scratch.
As ye wish.
[sighs]
[soft music plays]
Can we stay here forever?
Never leave?
Never.
If I have my way.
The rest of the world seems
so very far away.
Yer turn, lass.
Go on.
[Brian exhales]
Perhaps we'll travel from bothy to bothy
until we find a home.
Some land to call our own.
We have all the riches
we need right here
time and each other.
[chuckles]
My turn?
Aye.
- [exhales]
- Brian.
I love you.
And I love you.
[breathing heavily]
[dramatic music plays]
[both chuckle]
I'm yours.
Body and soul.
Body and soul.
[gasps]
[moaning]
[moaning and panting]
[panting]
[moaning]
Whither thou goest, I will go.
And where thou lodgest, I will lodge.
Thy people shall be my people.
And thy God, my God.
Where thou diest,
I die.
There I will be buried.
This I swear to you in blood.
[gentle music plays]
The blood of my blood,
for you are my own.
And I am yours.
What is it?
Fiery crosses.
[tense music plays]
A call to the men of the clans,
a Jacobite rebellion.
[dramatic music plays]
To seize their arms and
gather to their laird,
ready for battle.
What will you do?
I must go.
That, or leave Scotland
altogether forever.
To ignore the call is
to face certain death.
But to answer it
I will stand with you,
whatever comes.
I'm your wife.
And we are one.
[buzzing]
[whooshing]
That buzzing, I heard it before.
Q would call it a faerie circle.
Seems incredible, doesn't it?
Almost beyond belief.
[buzzing continues]
Last time, I felt compelled to touch it.
[buzzing and whooshing]
- We mustn't, not yet.
- Why not?
[bird cawing]
[soft music plays]
What if
what if he can't go through, or travel,
or whatever this is, the way we can?
He's our son. Perhaps it's genetic.
And if it's not?
Henry, we can't leave him here.
If we go through and he can't,
he'll be left here all alone,
lying on the ground.
We can't risk it.
One of us is gonna have to try
to go through with him first.
And if
if that doesn't work, then the other
Will stay here?
Until the other comes back.
And if that doesn't work
It will work.
[tense music plays]
[horse whinnying in distance]
[ominous music plays]
Quick.
Who are they?
The men who want nothing more
than to part my head from my body.
My God.
Henry, you must go through the stones
where they can't reach you.
And leave you here with them?
Absolutely not.
They can't hurt me without
suffering grave consequences.
I'm still the wife of a Laird.
And protected in a way you are not.
I can survive being parted from you.
But I can't risk losing you forever.
[dramatic music plays]
Please, my darling.
Go now.
Oh, Julia.
[buzzing]
My heart is with you forever.
You, William, and Claire.
[distant train horn blaring]
All right, my darling.
We love you so much.
We'll be back before you know it
with lots of stories from Scotland.
Now, you're going to be a
brave girl for Uncle Lamb.
We'll think of you every day.
And when we return,
we'll celebrate with
Ice cream!
- [chuckles]
- Yes.
We'll have a grand old adventure
ourselves, won't we, Claire?
[Henry] All right. Take care, Q.
- [whistle toots]
- Goodbye, my darling.
- [conductor] All aboard!
- Good luck.
[conductor] 10:50 to Inverness!
Bye, Mummy.
Thank you, Q.
[conductor] All aboard.
10:50 to Inverness, leaving now.
[bell dinging]
[train whistle blows]
I love you.
- I love you.
- Be a good girl!
[train whistle blows]
[sweeping music plays]
[Claire] See you soon!
