[GREY] We all have our secrets.
Yours is walking around.
I baptize thee, William James.
I'm a stinking Papist now.
Here.
My Uncle Jamie gave this to me
at a moment when I needed it most.
It'll give you strength.
[ROGER] Rob took Jem through the stones.
- Why would he do this?
- It's the gold.
The musket ball is missing from the box.
He won this in a game of dice
with a tinker in Port Ne Craig.
These belonged to my father.
The world is turning upside down,
and yet, you are the only thing
that binds me to the Earth.
Jamie's ship was lost at sea.
He's dead, Claire.
I propose to arrest the lady as a spy.
She's been delivering missives
for the Rebels.
I can protect you. Marry me.

Do Quakers believe in heaven?
[RACHEL] Some do.
Is there a difference
of opinion on the matter?
We consider our life here
on Earth to be a sacrament.
There may be an afterlife,
but as no one has come back to say so,
it's a matter of individual speculation.
Well, I havena been there either,
so I'll no' say that's wrong.
But if there is a heaven,

[ROGER] Barely remember my father.
I was too young.
He died flying an airplane

Shot down.

But if these are here
Why would your mother
have told you a lie?
Because it's what she was told.
I looked into it a few years later.
His body and his plane were never found,
which I suppose isn't unheard of
when you're shot down over open water.
But
he wasn't even supposed
to be flying that day.

Jeremiah MacKenzie disappeared
without a trace.
These tags are a trace.

with yer wee lad, though?
[ROGER] I don't know.
But there must be a reason
why we came here, to this time,
to the wrong time,
to the time my father is in,
and we found not a hint
whatsoever of Jem.
[BUCK] Ye think he's with yer da?
[ROGER] What I think is,
these tags are our only lead.
We have to follow it.

maybe we find Jemmy too.

No, thee didn't.

she lost the second.

I couldna give her bairns,

Not until much later.
I was ordered to travel to her village

It was then that I learned

Fifteen years?
[LAUGHING] At least that.
Oh.
I do apologize.
[SCOFFS] For what?
I'm afraid I was not very, um

No.
No, but I wasn't being

Besides, it wasn't me who you were

We both know it.
Well, nor were you, I think,
making love to me, were you?
[SCOFFS] No.
No.
He offered me his body once.
So you once told me.
Why didn't you accept?
What I wanted was not that.
I wanted
all of it.
And I was young and proud,
and
thought if I could not have it all,
then I would accept no less.
[CLAIRE] Do you regret it?
Not accepting his offer?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Ten thousand times.
But at the same time, refusing him
was one of the few acts of true nobility
to which I would lay claim for myself.
It's true, you know.
Selflessness does have its own reward.
For if I had taken him,
that would have destroyed forever
what did exist between us,
our friendship.
And in the end, it was the friendship
I valued most.
Your friendship was
one of the more important
in his life.
Have you been very much on your own?
All this time, since your wife died?
Well, if you really must know, I
I have, for many years,
enjoyed a liaison
with the cook at Mount Josiah.
An Indian.
His name is Manoke.
Oh. I see.
It is not merely the relief
of necessary urges.
There is true amity between us.
I'm pleased to hear that.
And does he Manoke
does he mind if you take
other lovers, as it were?

No.

Yes.
Well, perhaps not quite so frankly
as I find myself talking to you, but
yes.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to pry.

I am a Rebel,

Why are you telling me this?
Because you are a Rebel yourself.
It was I who warned Lord John
about your imminent arrest for treason.
I hoped he'd use his influence
to keep you from the gallows.
Why?
The letters you delivered
were of vital importance
to the American campaign.
I felt yours was a life worth saving.
Although I must confess, I had no idea
Lord John would accomplish
the task by marrying you.
Lord John is a very gallant man.
And because of it, we find ourselves
in a fortuitous situation, you and I.
What is it you want from me, Captain?
This war will be won through
intelligence and politics.
Your position in Lord John Grey's house
makes you uniquely suited
to assist our cause on both fronts.
You want me to spy on my husband.
I'm also desirous of influence
over his brother,
the Duke of Pardloe.
His Grace has been making
strong statements
in the House of Lords
in favor of reconciliation,
which would jeopardize
everything we're fighting for.
While I appreciate your commitment

hear me when I say this.
I will not deceive my husband
