00:00:00Stand straight.
00:00:06My perfect wife never complains.
00:00:09But Papa, this morning you called Mama a crumpled sheet.
00:00:13A busy morning. Nothing is wrong. Excuse us.
00:00:31Your endroidery is at the guild table. I'll bring the payment.
00:00:40There's always room at my Westgate Inn. For all three of you.
00:00:51Watch my wife. Tell me where she goes.
00:01:04Oh, you...
00:01:10No more soon.
00:01:13You'll stand beside me as my wife.
00:01:23Someone's there.
00:01:38Papa told Lady Beatrice she'd be his wife.
00:01:41Will he send you away from us?
00:01:47Tonight, I stay here. You won't be punished for telling me.
00:01:58I'll see the truth myself. Then I decide.
00:02:07Then don't take it. A gift isn't a command.
00:02:14The hunting lodge expects you before noon.
00:02:23Stay with Nurse. I'll return before supper.
00:02:25They stay with me.
00:02:34How much longer must I hide from your wife?
00:02:36Not long. Her place will be yours.
00:02:40No more excuses. I saw what I saw.
00:02:47Did you find father?
00:02:49I found the answer I needed. I'm here now.
00:02:59Your valet can see to it.
00:03:01You're my wife. The place beside me is yours.
00:03:03Then you can manage your own coat. I'm no longer doing everything for you.
00:03:10Helena asks if you still remember the long veil.
00:03:13Come at dusk. Tell her I'll come.
00:03:29Without my name, what are you?
00:03:37The lady of the night veil.
00:03:40The lady of the night veil.
00:03:47Not their faces. Your rhythm.
00:03:57You held the room. I'll pay for your next performance too.
00:04:00It won't buy freedom yet, but I earned it.
00:04:12The lady of the night veil.
00:04:12Where were you?
00:04:13Working.
00:04:14That's something I knew before I carried your name.
00:04:21Come upstairs. Be my wife and I'll overlook this.
00:04:24Don't touch me. My body isn't the price of your permission.
00:04:27I will keep working.
00:04:29Tomorrow, wear the white rose. Everyone will see where you belong.
00:04:33I'll attend the banquet. That is all.
00:04:48Anything you do beyond kitchens and sickbeds?
00:04:51Care is work. Your contempt isn't my duty.
00:04:55A wife doesn't ask applause for doing her duty.
00:04:59This table looks effortless because women carried what you chose not to see.
00:05:04Then sit beside me. You've earned a place at this table.
00:05:13A word. Now.
00:05:16I meant every word.
00:05:18Stay with her. Report every room she enters.
00:05:23You want a wife or a prisoner?
00:05:26A husband should know his wife is safe.
00:05:28Safe is not the same as watched.
00:05:30I won't live by his reports.
00:05:36Perhaps a physician should assess you.
00:05:38Our children need a steady mother.
00:05:46It's about the physician.
00:05:56Edmund called you unfit to raise your children. The physician hasn't agreed.
00:05:59His claim, not a diagnosis?
00:06:02Yes.
00:06:03Hugh called it concern when he stopped me asking for help.
00:06:08Edmund is using the children to silence me.
00:06:10My inn has rooms for you. I can't decide your rights, but I can open my door.
00:06:14Both of you leave. I'll see the physician myself.
00:06:24You've put their names on a transfer order.
00:06:26I'm preparing for what may be necessary.
00:06:35The children should get used to Beatrice.
00:06:37Bring the roast. Make yourself useful.
00:06:41You claimed my seat. Serve them. What must never touch Cecil's plate?
00:06:48They can eat what they're given.
00:06:52We know where we belong.
00:06:54A chair is easy to claim. A family is harder.
00:06:58If I stop paying, where will you go?
00:07:00I'll keep sewing and caring for my children.
00:07:06Lord and Lady Montbirth.
00:07:15Papa serves them. Why must Mama always stand?
00:07:25So you know what respect looks like?
00:07:31Your support for the invest statement means everything.
00:07:38Finished work? Fair pay.
00:07:40This place is yours while you're working.
00:07:52When father gets angry, will you leave and not come back?
00:07:57I leave for work. I come home to you.
00:07:59Nurse stays while I'm gone.
00:08:03My kiss is here.
00:08:07Next time, how will I know you're there?
00:08:21Don't leave us.
00:08:25I'm here. A wall can't replace me coming home. It's my job to come back and answer.
00:08:30Three knocks mean I'm here. Two mean wait before opening. Need help? Call nurse.
00:08:39She answered.
00:08:43You'll keep answering?
00:08:44I will. You don't have to pretend you aren't scared.
00:08:50A physician you know will see you.
00:08:53He'll listen to you, not speak through Edmund.
00:08:55Then I'll speak for myself.
00:09:01Give it to Arthur tomorrow.
00:09:06Remind him who his father is.
00:09:13Why didn't he give it to me himself?
00:09:19Your mother isn't well.
00:09:21Don't believe everything she says.
00:09:24Disobedience isn't illness.
00:09:26You will not teach them otherwise.
00:09:27After my invitation, we live apart.
00:09:29I decide where they belong.
00:09:32Take the gift, leave it, or decide later.
00:09:35You don't have to choose between us.
00:09:39Our children won't defend your betrayal or judge my mind.
00:09:42We'll settle this at tomorrow's supper. Behave properly.
00:09:47If Arthur returns it, will father stop loving us?
00:09:50Love should never cost a gift or a secret.
00:09:53I can't promise he won't hurt your feelings.
00:09:55You won't carry our blame.
00:09:59I'll tell him at supper.
00:10:03I don't want it.
00:10:04Keeping it feels like pretending mother isn't hurt.
00:10:06No presents for keeping quiet.
00:10:10You let them disgrace me.
00:10:11Your shame isn't their burden.
00:10:13No one questions them further.
00:10:18May we name the Lady of the Night Vale publicly?
00:10:21Every letter.
00:10:22Eleanor Hawthorne.
00:10:31The Lady of the Night Vale.
00:10:37Women across our quarter repeat what you said.
00:10:40Care is work.
00:10:44Being unpaid doesn't make it invisible.
00:10:48She's unwell.
00:10:49She needs a physician, not applause.
00:10:52Then the physician hears me.
00:10:54Not my husband speaking for me.
00:10:57Her behavior proves instability.
00:11:00A fit your seal.
00:11:01Ask me first.
00:11:06How have you been living?
00:11:08I care for my children, finish my embroidery, and perform tonight under my own name.
00:11:14Be quiet.
00:11:15You can't be trusted with the children.
00:11:17He has me watched.
00:11:18Now he wants your seal beneath his story.
00:11:21Let me finish.
00:11:23I see a husband who won't let his wife finish.
00:11:26I will not mark her unfit because you demand it.
00:11:31Why did the physician fail?
00:11:35He left to turn the room against me.
00:11:39Get the transfer signed by Dawn after the Invictation.
00:11:44We move through Beatrice.
00:11:48Beatrice is the bait.
00:11:53Letting Eleanor think Beatrice could replace her was never the prize.
00:11:58It was leverage.
00:12:00At dawn after the Invictation, I take the children.
00:12:05Eleanor signs the same transfer, awakes to an empty nursery.
00:12:09Don't let Beatrice mistake your bed for Eleanor's place.
00:12:13My recommendation may help your Invictation.
00:12:15It does not give you her children.
00:12:18I only need Eleanor frightened enough to sign.
00:12:27And what does Beatrice get?
00:12:29Whatever promise keeps her useful.
00:12:43Put this where my wife cannot miss it.
00:12:50I need you in the hall.
00:13:00At dawn after the Invictation, the children will be removed unless their mother signs.
00:13:08No physician's mark.
00:13:10No lawful approval.
00:13:13The paper can't take my children.
00:13:15His guards can.
00:13:30My lady?
00:13:33Tell my husband I will speak with him now.
00:13:36Face to face.
00:13:43Beatrice.
00:13:44Beatrice.
00:13:45You shouldn't be here.
00:13:48Then tell me where I should be.
00:13:56When will you truly give me your wife's place?
00:14:02That place will never be yours.
00:14:05I decide where you sit.
00:14:09You used me to hurt her.
00:14:12Not here.
00:14:14Lord Montfield has arrived.
00:14:21Stay with them. I'm done waiting.
00:14:39Please don't withdraw your support.
00:14:42Then remember whose support it is.
00:14:58Tell my wife to keep waiting.
00:15:02My lady, he asks you to wait.
00:15:07I already have.
00:15:13Do not make me regret backing you.
00:15:38If anyone asks, Eleanor has become unstable again.
00:15:41Keep saying it until the investigation.
00:15:43You're the steady one.
00:15:45Once the ceremony is over, everyone will see where you belong.
00:15:48And Arthur and Cecily?
00:15:50Will they actually be safe?
00:15:52I need order.
00:15:54No scandal before I'm invested.
00:15:59I'll keep the house calm.
00:16:01If the children ask, tell them their mother is ill.
00:16:04Not the children.
00:16:09What should I tell the household about Lady Eleanor?
00:16:13Say she's occupied. Nothing more.
00:16:21He plans to force my signature and take the children after the invactation.
00:16:25Will you still stand with him?
00:16:26I won't lie about what I am to him.
00:16:28But not here.
00:16:30The old chapel.
00:16:31We can talk there.
00:16:45I wanted your place.
00:16:47I chose to become his mistress.
00:16:51Don't turn your choice into something he did to you.
00:16:54I won't.
00:16:56I helped him call you unstable.
00:16:58At the palace, I heard him call me bait.
00:17:01I still wanted to believe he'd marry me.
00:17:03He never meant to.
00:17:07The morning after the invictation, he takes Arthur and Cecily.
00:17:10We stop that.
00:17:11I promise nothing else.
00:17:13Agreed.
00:17:14When this becomes public, speak only for what you saw, heard and did.
00:17:18No invented orders.
00:17:19No forgiveness promised.
00:17:21I'll name the affair and the lies I carried.
00:17:23The shame is mine.
00:17:25If the ring stays off, he'll know.
00:17:27This opens only the service door, not the study.
00:17:35I will never forget.
00:17:36Stay outside.
00:17:37I go in alone.
00:17:39I understand.
00:18:08He needs to take them.
00:18:10He can answer for this himself.
00:18:29He praises the perfect mother in public.
00:18:31Then he can answer the mother in public.
00:18:34Why is he planning to steal her children?
00:18:38They've both been asleep for nearly an hour.
00:18:42Stay with them.
00:18:43If anyone asks, they do not leave this room without me.
00:18:58Don't leave this room without me.
00:19:03Rosamund!
00:19:04Come back here!
00:19:05Please, Eleanor.
00:19:07Don't let my husband take me back.
00:19:26Bring a qualified physician.
00:19:27Quickly.
00:19:31You don't have to prove anything to me tonight.
00:19:37I decided to leave Hugh.
00:19:39I'm not going back this time.
00:19:42Then you stay here tonight.
00:19:51She's my wife.
00:19:53This is a family matter.
00:19:54Move.
00:19:57Marriage does not give you the right to drag her anywhere.
00:20:02I said no.
00:20:04Stay here.
00:20:05No one takes her through this door.
00:20:11Why are you humiliating me in front of my own staff?
00:20:15She came here for safety.
00:20:22Enough.
00:20:23Give Rosamund to her husband.
00:20:31Where did you get this?
00:20:32Take the paper.
00:20:33You're not taking her.
00:20:35You have no idea what you're risking.
00:20:40The watch will turn into this lane any moment.
00:20:42Keep shouting and the whole court will hear before the enstackment.
00:20:46Guard this door.
00:20:47Take Rosamund upstairs.
00:20:49Then send someone to the lawful watch.
00:20:59Keep standing between us, Lady Wilkable.
00:21:01And I'll bury you for it.
00:21:03Take your threats elsewhere.
00:21:05Nothing touches my indignation.
00:21:07Find Benedict at the Westgate hymn.
00:21:09Tell him Rosamund needs a room and a safe ride there.
00:21:19Prepare the rear room.
00:21:20I'll drive our carriage and bring her here myself.
00:21:23She won't be alone here.
00:21:36Sign it.
00:21:37The morning after my instipulation, the children leave with my name and your consent.
00:21:43They are our children, not ornaments to polish your reputation.
00:21:46I will not sign them away.
00:21:49Refuse if you like.
00:21:50When the deadline comes, I'll take them anyway.
00:21:53Keep your paper.
00:21:54I'm not leaving Rosamund here for Hugh to finish what he started.
00:22:07Stay with Arthur and Cecily.
00:22:09Do not leave this floor.
00:22:17If I stay, Hugh will come back.
00:22:19I'm going.
00:22:20The Westgate Inn has a private room ready.
00:22:22We'll go straight there.
00:22:26Lord Witchlet's household is closed.
00:22:28Turn the carriage back.
00:22:30Your household guards.
00:22:31You have no right to close a public street.
00:22:32Bring her back inside.
00:22:33No one gets hurt at this gate.
00:22:39He found another way to keep me here.
00:22:53Stay back, Rosalyn.
00:22:55Hugh, you do not enter this room.
00:23:02Take the side door.
00:23:03Bring the patrol here and tell them the public road is blocked.
00:23:09Step aside.
00:23:11One scandal tonight could cost me the investation and ruin this family's name.
00:23:15Then lose the honor.
00:23:16The patrol will hear Rosalind herself.
00:23:19Neither her husband nor your guards will choose for her.
00:23:29My name is Rosalind Fairfax.
00:23:31I asked to leave.
00:23:32My husband and these guards are keeping me here against my will.
00:23:38Clear the public road.
00:23:40Household colors give you no authority here.
00:23:48The Westgate Road is open.
00:23:49The choice is still yours.
00:23:53I'm leaving.
00:24:08You're at the Westgate Inn.
00:24:11Hugh has no men inside.
00:24:15Rosalind is safe.
00:24:16Benedict stayed outside her door all night.
00:24:20Safe matters.
00:24:20But one open road doesn't end either.
00:24:23Marriage.
00:24:27You will attend the Invectation at my side.
00:24:30Smile.
00:24:31Receive the guests.
00:24:33And remind this court what a Winskly wife looks like.
00:24:36I'll be there.
00:24:40Good.
00:24:41Don't embarrass me again.
00:24:48Still going through with it?
00:24:51Yes.
00:24:52Edmund will answer my question in public.
00:24:56That's her.
00:24:57The mad lady Wicklude.
00:24:58Her husband warned everyone.
00:25:00Not here.
00:25:02Let them hear him answer first.
00:25:21I'm not surrendering my children.
00:25:26Did I call for you?
00:25:27Get out!
00:25:37Don't make me late for the impistatation.
00:25:41I'll be ready.
00:25:57I'm here, Mama.
00:26:27Rosalind is safe.
00:26:28She belongs to her.
00:26:29Take the children in.
00:26:30Stop filling their heads with outsider's troubles.
00:26:35Mama, I wanted you to fly it with me.
00:26:38I know.
00:26:38I want to finish this conversation.
00:26:40Nurse is right here with you.
00:26:43Finish talking, Mama.
00:26:45We'll wait with Nurse.
00:26:46Look at him.
00:26:47They clearly need their mother.
00:26:52They have care.
00:26:54I'm staying because I choose to.
00:26:56Her lawful passage paper is locked in the courtesy cabinet.
00:26:58She wants it back.
00:27:00Then we return what is hers.
00:27:03Ready for rehearsal?
00:27:05Yes.
00:27:06I won't cancel.
00:27:10The cabinet opens when I collect the ceremony linens.
00:27:13We adults will return it.
00:27:14The children stay out of this.
00:27:17Why were you speaking privately with my wife?
00:27:23Answer me.
00:27:25I'm collecting the ceremony linens.
00:27:27Your wife was standing in her own corridor.
00:27:31Then do your duty.
00:27:36Issue to Rosamund Fairfax in her own name.
00:27:39Give it to me.
00:27:43If Edmund searches you.
00:27:45He'll find me responsible.
00:27:46Not the children.
00:27:47Take this to her.
00:27:56It's yours again.
00:27:58He kept it so I could never choose.
00:28:00You don't have to leave today.
00:28:02No.
00:28:02But now the choice is mine.
00:28:09Eleanor.
00:28:14Mrs. Wilkley is not to take the children out alone.
00:28:17Close the door.
00:28:20Open this door.
00:28:21Now.
00:28:27Mother's here.
00:28:32Guard.
00:28:32He locked my children and their nurse inside.
00:28:36Whose order?
00:28:37Master Wilkley's.
00:28:38A private order is not lawful detention.
00:28:40Lift it.
00:28:41Their nurse stays and necessary passage stays open.
00:28:46I'm going to rehearsal as planned.
00:28:48Stay with nurse.
00:28:49She's in charge until I return.
00:28:54Until the implantation she goes nowhere without the nurse or a household servant.
00:28:58I'm not deciding custody.
00:29:00I'm telling you not to lock them in.
00:29:06Give me the paper you stole.
00:29:08No.
00:29:09Defy me again.
00:29:10And I'll put you in the ground where your children will never find you.
00:29:17Move.
00:29:18I have rehearsal.
00:29:19I was told to stay with you.
00:29:21Then keep up.
00:29:27Come here.
00:29:28Don't look to anyone else first.
00:29:35Breathe.
00:29:36Let the held rest on the floor.
00:29:37It isn't a chain.
00:29:40May I set your arm and shoulder?
00:29:43My arm and shoulder.
00:29:44Stay where I can see you.
00:29:49Again.
00:29:56Where does this walk end?
00:29:59Before the invitation banner.
00:30:01This time I ask the question.
00:30:07You seem to have forgotten how a wife carries herself.
00:30:10I remember.
00:30:11That's why I won't do it again.
00:30:13Watch every step she takes.
00:30:18Tomorrow night.
00:30:19Here.
00:30:20No one speaks for anyone else.
00:30:22I'll be here.
00:30:27I'll be here.
00:30:36My decision stands.
00:30:39Tomorrow I'll admit the affair.
00:30:41If I lose my court position, I accept that.
00:30:44Speak for what you did, not for me.
00:30:49I won't assign anyone apart.
00:30:52How far will you choose to go tomorrow?
00:30:54And where do you stop?
00:30:57I won't display my bruises for their judgment.
00:31:00I'll return to the inn and wait somewhere safe.
00:31:03I'll be there.
00:31:05Beside the stage.
00:31:06Where you can see me.
00:31:08My carriage.
00:31:09I'll drive.
00:31:11My housekeeper will ride inside with Arthur and Cecily the entire way.
00:31:16Then tomorrow I walk onto that stage myself.
00:31:27You came back.
00:31:30I came back.
00:31:42Are you leaving us?
00:31:44Benedict drives.
00:31:46His housekeeper stays with you.
00:31:47Nurse will take you to her.
00:31:49The rest is for the adults.
00:31:52Will you come back?
00:31:55I'll do everything I can.
00:31:56Trusted adults will care for you until I return.
00:32:01Do you still have to wear this?
00:32:06I'm choosing to wear it today.
00:32:08And when it comes off, I will be the one who removes it.
00:32:15And don't let him make you disappear.
00:32:17He doesn't decide whether I exist.
00:32:25I have them.
00:32:31Go.
00:32:59My perfect wife.
00:33:03Why does this unsigned, unapproved order say our children will be taken tomorrow?
00:33:14My wife is unwell.
00:33:16She stole a private draft and no longer understands what she reads.
00:33:25I was your mistress.
00:33:27I agreed to replace her in the children's home.
00:33:30That was my choice.
00:33:31We both lied.
00:33:48You built your honor on my silence.
00:33:50I'm done carrying it.
00:33:58The wife who stood behind you is gone.
00:34:01Leave the hold.
00:34:02Now!
00:34:09Whistling guards force the carriage back.
00:34:11Benedict is driving.
00:34:12His housekeeper still has both children.
00:34:15Get the lawful watch.
00:34:16Now.
00:34:16Tell them private men are taking two children by force.
00:34:33They forced us back, but the children are safe.
00:34:46Apologize in public, or I take them tonight.
00:34:49You lost your honor.
00:34:51You will not make our children pay for it.
00:34:53You're still my wife.
00:34:55Not the wife who obeys you.
00:35:04Take them through the wine passage.
00:35:06Benedict, bring the same carriage to the service door.
00:35:10Go.
00:35:11We'll bring the lawful watch.
00:35:12Yes.
00:35:19Are you coming with us?
00:35:21This time, I'm not leaving you behind.
00:35:32Witchley Road West.
00:35:33He says his wife took the children.
00:35:40Westgate Inn.
00:35:41Hold on.
00:35:54Stop the carriage!
00:35:58Is father taking us back?
00:36:00No.
00:36:01Both of you stay beside us, away from the door.
00:36:06Your shoulder!
00:36:08I'm awake.
00:36:09Keep them covered.
00:36:13The road's blocked.
00:36:15I won't force the horses through.
00:36:20Lord Wilkle says return and hear his explanation.
00:36:24Then this can end.
00:36:25I've lived inside his explanations for years.
00:36:29Step aside.
00:36:30You will not turn my children around.
00:36:33Benedict, Westgate Inn.
00:36:34Steady.
00:36:35We arrive together.
00:36:52You're hurt.
00:36:53Later.
00:36:54Get the children inside.
00:37:04Sign it, Elinor.
00:37:06Then I'll let them leave.
00:37:17Open it.
00:37:18The housekeeper leaves with both children.
00:37:22Not until you come with me.
00:37:24You never meant to let them go.
00:37:28I'm taking my family home.
00:37:33I was buying them a way out, not giving them away.
00:37:36No more bargains.
00:37:38Where's the side door?
00:37:40Through the East Passage.
00:37:53I was told the passage was being blocked.
00:38:02Open the safe exit.
00:38:04My children leave with their caretaker.
00:38:06Now.
00:38:07Now.
00:38:15Children first.
00:38:22Stay with her.
00:38:24Don't look back.
00:38:34Don't stop.
00:38:35Get them out.
00:38:39Go.
00:38:40Mummy's right behind you.
00:38:47Take them to the stone house.
00:38:49I'll hold this passage.
00:38:56What about Mama?
00:38:58She got you out.
00:38:59Now let the adults bring her in.
00:39:06Away from the window.
00:39:07Both of you.
00:39:18The children.
00:39:19Helena has them.
00:39:20They're safe.
00:39:35Lock this door.
00:39:37The children stay where they are.
00:39:38The passage is secured.
00:39:42Put the ring back on.
00:39:44Take your place beside me.
00:39:46That place was a leash.
00:39:47I won't wear it again.
00:39:51You bury Rosamund's complaint against me.
00:39:53I take my wife back.
00:39:55Then I help you.
00:39:56Get Eleanor back under my roof.
00:39:57Then I help you.
00:40:01Bring Rosamund through the rear.
00:40:03Tonight, I end every act of defiance.
00:40:08City watch!
00:40:09Westgate in!
00:40:10Now!
00:40:13Eleanor?
00:40:13Hugh is at the rear.
00:40:14Edmund traded Rosamund's plea for his help.
00:40:21Rosamund, stay by this exit.
00:40:23If Benedict opens it, leave first.
00:40:24Do not wait for Hugh.
00:40:27Beatrice, stay outside.
00:40:28Keep calling the watch.
00:40:31Open this door, Eleanor!
00:40:51You're coming home.
00:40:52Now!
00:40:53No.
00:40:53Rosamund, hold the side door.
00:40:59You leave with me, or I drag you out.
00:41:01You don't get to take me anywhere.
00:41:04City watch!
00:41:05Hurry!
00:41:07Stay on that line.
00:41:09Don't go near him.
00:41:10Or the case.
00:41:11City watch!
00:41:12Hurry!
00:41:18Move.
00:41:20Eleanor first.
00:41:21You take Rosamund after.
00:41:23You promised me my wife.
00:41:25And you promised obedience.
00:41:35Everyone back.
00:41:36Do not touch that case.
00:41:48Rosamund, out.
00:41:49Benedict, hold the passage.
00:41:54I'm leaving.
00:41:55He doesn't choose from me again.
00:41:56Keep coming.
00:41:57The street is clear.
00:41:59You are not walking away from me.
00:42:02Watch me.
00:42:14Let her go, Hugh.
00:42:18Don't stop.
00:42:19Get away from the door.
00:42:24You gave the orders.
00:42:26You don't give them now.
00:42:29Put it down.
00:42:31Rosamund, stay back.
00:42:33Hugh has the pistol.
00:42:46Keep going, both of you.
00:42:48Farther from the door.
00:42:56Eleanor is still in there.
00:42:58Then we do what she asked.
00:42:59Move.
00:43:03Look at what you've done, Eleanor.
00:43:05You destroyed this family.
00:43:09The children are beyond your reach.
00:43:11I won't forgive you,
00:43:12and I won't call your control a family.
00:43:14Come on.
00:43:31Turn it away!
00:43:37Take your hands off me.
00:43:42Hugh, drop the pistol!
00:43:58On your knees!
00:44:01Hugh fired it.
00:44:02I saw him pull the trigger.
00:44:11Edmund Wincier is dead.
00:44:19Your shoulder and ribs need care.
00:44:21Don't stand yet.
00:44:23Bind them.
00:44:24Then take me to my children.
00:44:26I was outside when it happened.
00:44:29I heard one shot.
00:44:31I heard Hugh and Edmund plotting earlier.
00:44:33I did not witness the shooting.
00:44:36I did not witness the shooting.
00:44:53Your father died tonight.
00:44:55Listen to me.
00:44:56Nothing either of you did caused his death.
00:44:59Not even the bell?
00:45:01Not the bell.
00:45:03Not your fear.
00:45:04The adults made their choices.
00:45:08Who saw the shot from inside this room?
00:45:13I did.
00:45:24Hugh turned the gun toward Edmund and pulled the trigger.
00:45:28I saw the pistol on the floor.
00:45:30Hugh picked it up and held it until he fired.
00:45:34Anything before that?
00:45:37I won't claim what I didn't see.
00:45:41He's Eleanor's cousin.
00:45:43He'll say whatever protects her.
00:45:45Then record only my words.
00:45:47I'll answer for every one of them.
00:45:50Your master's name decides nothing here.
00:45:53The witness stays.
00:45:54Hugh goes to the wagon.
00:46:00May we question the children?
00:46:04Not tonight.
00:46:05They were never in that room.
00:46:07No names, weapons, or suggested answers.
00:46:13They stay here.
00:46:15We speak to the adults first.
00:46:26Rosamund, look at me.
00:46:28Come back where you belong.
00:46:44Come back.
00:46:45Now.
00:46:47No.
00:46:48I'm not coming back.
00:46:49When I speak, I'll tell what you did to me.
00:46:51In my own words.
00:46:54You ungrateful fool.
00:46:56You don't decide anything without me.
00:47:07You can rest.
00:47:09Later, you can see someone familiar.
00:47:11Or no one at all.
00:47:14Let me get warm.
00:47:15Then I want to see the children.
00:47:19The sound you heard came from choices grown people made.
00:47:22None of it belongs to you.
00:47:24Not even because we were nearby.
00:47:27Especially then.
00:47:29Children are meant to be kept safe.
00:47:34Tomorrow, I'll tell them what life with Hugh was.
00:47:37Not what he ordered me to say.
00:47:39What happened to me.
00:47:40Then they'll hear your voice.
00:47:46I helped Edmund silence women asking for help.
00:47:49I'll tell you everything when you're ready.
00:47:51I won't ask forgiveness.
00:47:54Mother, why did you always tell us everything was fine?
00:48:02Why did you say we were fine?
00:48:08I thought hiding danger would protect you.
00:48:11I was wrong.
00:48:13I won't say fine to make you act brave.
00:48:19I know you said the bell wasn't my fault.
00:48:21I still hear it when I close my eyes.
00:48:25Being frightened doesn't make you guilty.
00:48:27You don't have to feel better just because I've explained it.
00:48:40I told the truth at home and father got angry.
00:48:43Did I make everything worse?
00:48:46You told the truth.
00:48:48You told the truth.
00:48:49His anger was his responsibility, never yours.
00:48:51Do we have to prove who was bad?
00:48:54No.
00:48:55When they ask, tell only the small parts you remember.
00:48:59If you need to stop, say so.
00:49:01Tonight, you rest.
00:49:07Come in, Beatrice.
00:49:08Sit with me.
00:49:18I helped him silence you both.
00:49:23I carried messages calling you unstable.
00:49:26When Rosamund asked for help, I used my position to turn her away.
00:49:30You did that yourself?
00:49:31Yes.
00:49:35Do you want to join us?
00:49:42Hugh kept my permit and blocked my help.
00:49:45I lived what followed.
00:49:50They taught me that dignity meant silence.
00:49:53Different rooms, the same rule.
00:49:54Silence us, then call it agreement.
00:49:57Standing with you doesn't erase what I did.
00:50:00It doesn't.
00:50:01No forgiveness tonight.
00:50:04And no matching stories.
00:50:06Each of us says only what she knows.
00:50:20I saw Hugh turn the pistol toward Edmund and pull the trigger.
00:50:32An unsupported set-up claim won't keep you from your children.
00:50:42Mother, when they ask, may I tell just one small thing I remember?
00:50:46Mother, when they ask, may I tell just one small thing I remember?
00:50:57No guessing.
00:50:59He stops when he wants.
00:51:01Arthur, what do you remember?
00:51:06From the stone house window, I saw Hugh with a closed green box.
00:51:11Later inside, I heard one distant bang.
00:51:16Did you see anything else?
00:51:19I don't know what was inside.
00:51:21I didn't see a pistol, a trigger, or a body.
00:51:24That is enough.
00:51:26You told only what you knew.
00:51:31His words confirm movement and timing only.
00:51:34Benedict's adult account remains the eyewitness account of the shot.
00:51:39Cecily, what would you like us to know?
00:51:44I was frightened.
00:51:46Mother sent us somewhere safe.
00:51:48When she came back hurt, she came to us first.
00:51:57That ends the children's statements.
00:51:59Neither of you will be called back to repeat them.
00:52:03I want to face him with officers between us.
00:52:06He will hear me, but he will not come near me.
00:52:09He cannot cross the guard line.
00:52:17I want to face him with officers between us.
00:52:23My wife, stuck in her mouth.
00:52:28Hugh controlled my movements and company.
00:52:30He punished resistance.
00:52:32I asked for help because I feared him.
00:52:36At the inn, I saw the pistol on the floor and left through the side door.
00:52:40Outside, I heard one shot.
00:52:41I didn't see who fired.
00:52:45Liar!
00:52:45Get back over here, Rosamund!
00:52:49No.
00:52:50You do not command me anymore.
00:52:54Write only what I said.
00:52:55It is enough.
00:52:59I knew Rosamund was asking for help.
00:53:01I helped Edmund hide it.
00:53:04Standing here now does not erase what I did.
00:53:08Hugh Fairfax, you're being transferred for the shooting and related violence.
00:53:12The witness account, seized weapon, and statements go with the case.
00:53:14Rosamund, tell them to stop!
00:53:24I thought my voice would fail.
00:53:27It didn't.
00:53:28He had to stop.
00:53:29Not you.
00:53:40A proper widow would show some shame.
00:53:43I came to bury my husband, not to perform grief for you.
00:53:49Those poor children.
00:53:51Imagine what they endured under her care.
00:53:58When I was scared, Mama held me.
00:54:00She stayed until I could breathe again.
00:54:03She has said enough.
00:54:05Neither of my children owe you the details of a death or a shooting.
00:54:10I meant no offense.
00:54:12Then stop causing harm.
00:54:23It belongs to you now.
00:54:25Even if all you choose is what to do with it.
00:54:32We're making a new beginning at the old training hall.
00:54:34When you're ready, come.
00:54:38Then keep my place.
00:55:01The guild agreed to long-term use.
00:55:03No borrowed favor.
00:55:04No hidden condition.
00:55:10Return it with the rest.
00:55:11No message.
00:55:13And nothing comes back to me.
00:55:20The coat is mine.
00:55:22I'm choosing to give it up.
00:55:23Use every piece you can.
00:55:24Not this.
00:55:25Not yet.
00:55:26The skirt becomes curtains.
00:55:28The sleeves become practice cloth.
00:55:30This is work we choose for ourselves.
00:55:40May I bring someone tomorrow?
00:55:42She wants to try, but she's afraid she won't belong.
00:55:45Tell her to come.
00:55:46We'll make room.
00:55:58Standing tall also means knowing when to stop.
00:56:01Helena, take the wider movement.
00:56:09The window seat and water are for anyone who needs them.
00:56:13Sit whenever you wish.
00:56:15You owe no one an explanation.
00:56:25The cloth follows your body.
00:56:27Your body does not answer to the cloth.
00:56:32I can't give you my real name.
00:56:34And I can't tell you why.
00:56:38Then don't.
00:56:39Choose what we call you today or choose silence.
00:56:42The first step is still yours.
00:56:46May.
00:56:47Just May.
00:56:55The cards can wait.
00:56:56For now, one step together.
00:57:00Feet beneath you.
00:57:02Eyes forward.
00:57:03Begin.
00:57:13For Eleanor Hawthorne.
00:57:15An update concerning Hugh Fairbax.
00:57:28Hugh Fairbax is now under formal prosecution.
00:57:37Keep going.
00:57:39Stand, pause, or sit.
00:57:40Let each body choose.
00:57:42I'm staying for the lesson.
00:57:44The cards are there if you want one.
00:57:46Only if you want one.
00:57:56May.
00:57:57May.
00:57:58Just May.
00:57:59Keep the rhythm.
00:58:01Leave her place open.
00:58:09Mum.
00:58:12Oh, my God.
00:58:42That woman survived.
00:58:44She doesn't have to serve me anymore.
00:58:53Not a monument, a beginning.
00:58:59The Guild agreed to share this hall.
00:59:01No one owns the women inside it.
00:59:03Open Gate Hall is open.
00:59:04Come in as yourself.
00:59:06I'm proud of you, Mama.
00:59:07You made room for all of us.
00:59:22What if I'm not ready to tell you everything?
00:59:25Then tell us nothing.
00:59:26You don't have to prove you're perfect to enter.
00:59:28You don't have to prove you're perfect to enter.
00:59:51Benedict, Beatrice, take her weight.
00:59:54Helena, clear a place.
00:59:55Someone fed your physician.
01:00:09Lessons paused.
01:00:10Give them the East Bay.
01:00:22She stays warm and still.
01:00:23I need the space clear.
01:00:32I ordered from a workshop, not a refuge.
01:00:35Cancel my new order.
01:00:37You won't see a penny of it.
01:00:41Keep out the wind, not the women.
01:00:54Mama, you're not leaving again, are you?
01:00:56I'm staying here, Arthur.
01:00:58With you and with her.
01:01:05That's our sample cloth.
01:01:15My lady won't fill her house with work from runaway wives and kept women.
01:01:23I know who you were.
01:01:25Don't come near me.
01:01:26Don't come near me.
01:01:28Don't come near me.
01:01:29Don't come near me.
01:01:35Understood.
01:01:36You don't owe me comfort.
01:01:38You asked for distance.
01:01:39We'll honor it.
01:01:47The sample is ours.
01:01:49We'll make what this hall needs.
01:01:51She's stable.
01:01:52Keep her warm and stay with her.
01:01:55Keep her warm and stay with her.
01:01:56Keep her warm and stay with her.
01:01:58Keep her warm and stay with her.
01:02:06Blankets first, then a curtain for the resting cot.
01:02:14This one.
01:02:15My sister gets cold at the market.
01:02:17Then it's hers.
01:02:32Mama, are you going to run out there alone again?
01:02:43Mama, don't go.
01:02:50You're not stopping me.
01:02:52I did leave you waiting too many times.
01:02:59Stay with them.
01:03:00We have the door.
01:03:02Who's there?
01:03:03Are you alone?
01:03:04Can you walk?
01:03:05Just me.
01:03:06I can walk.
01:03:07Please.
01:03:08I need warmth.
01:03:10I need warmth.
01:03:18Here.
01:03:19Breathe first.
01:03:20You're inside now.
01:03:29I will still help people.
01:03:31But I'll tell you who is staying with you.
01:03:33And I'll let others go first.
01:03:37You don't have to do everything.
01:03:41No.
01:03:42I never did.
01:03:50Now you're not alone at the door.
01:03:54No.
01:04:04I never did.
01:04:05Give mine to the children.
01:04:07I can miss a meal.
01:04:09No.
01:04:09Your hunger is not our pantry.
01:04:23This is what we have.
01:04:24Flour for today and three coins from the shawl.
01:04:28I'll buy what gets us through tonight.
01:04:38All right.
01:04:39No one disappears to keep this place standing.
01:04:41Not even me.
01:04:45We take what's finished to the market tomorrow.
01:04:50I'll give them one short display.
01:04:52No lifting and I won't dance all day.
01:04:54Then I'll come with you.
01:04:55I'll sell cloth, not lead the dance.
01:05:03I'll go as Beatrice Sinclair.
01:05:05No title.
01:05:06No favor owed.
01:05:07Then stand beside us as yourself.
01:05:13No market stall for fallen women.
01:05:19They say you helped ruin women like us.
01:05:21What gives you the right to stand here?
01:05:28They're right about me.
01:05:29I was Edmund's mistress and I enjoyed what that physician gave me.
01:05:33I helped him humiliate Eleanor.
01:05:36Other women asked for help and I turned them away.
01:05:39I cared more about keeping my respectability than what happened to them.
01:05:42I won't list the good I did later.
01:05:44None of it erases this.
01:05:45Beatrice can stay.
01:05:47You still have every right to keep your distance and not forgive her.
01:05:50Leave it there.
01:05:51Don't come closer.
01:05:57All right.
01:06:00I'll hear you.
01:06:01That's all.
01:06:10The patient, our guest, and the hall are covered.
01:06:13We can go.
01:06:15Lady Sinclair hiding among fallen women.
01:06:20No title.
01:06:22Beatrice Sinclair walking with them.
01:06:28Cloth sewn at open gate hall.
01:06:32Don't touch it.
01:06:33Buy from decent women.
01:06:38They ruin homes.
01:06:39Then ask decent people to pay them.
01:06:43Don't take his word or mine.
01:06:45Feel the edge.
01:06:47Judge the work.
01:06:49The work is mine.
01:06:50So is the name.
01:06:52Beatrice Sinclair.
01:07:01No more answering him.
01:07:03Helena, that open ground.
01:07:04Follow my pace.
01:07:08If you want in, step on the next beat.
01:07:25I'll take this one.
01:07:27Don't change a stitch.
01:07:30You're welcome.
01:07:59The court wants your dancers. It doesn't want that name.
01:08:02A winter banquet place, if you obey.
01:08:05Our name comes with us.
01:08:09No shelter, no scars, no stories about who came through these doors.
01:08:14The banquet wants grace, not discomfort.
01:08:21Hold still. White will make you presentable.
01:08:25Don't touch me.
01:08:31You invited women from Open Gate Hall.
01:08:33That is the name that enters or we don't.
01:08:39Keep the deposit while you decide.
01:08:41Leave that name and the court may leave you off the program.
01:08:44Then it isn't ours yet.
01:08:50The physician can come today if we can pay him.
01:08:53Stay with her. I'll find another way.
01:09:05Tell me this didn't pay for him. It paid for the physician, the medicine and food.
01:09:14Her care continues.
01:09:15But that money was never ours to spend.
01:09:18I chose the emergency over our agreement.
01:09:20That choice is mine to answer for.
01:09:24My lessons were paid this morning.
01:09:27Every coin goes back.
01:09:31She's stable. Keep her warm and stay with her.
01:09:37I'm here.
01:09:41Return this and the court may give your place away.
01:09:44Then let them. We come as Open Gate Hall or not at all.
01:09:49Saving her was right.
01:09:50Spending what wasn't ours was not.
01:09:52Both are true.
01:09:56Then we make them say our name.
01:10:09Leave them. Put this on.
01:10:19They'll restore my post if I leave Open Gate Hall.
01:10:22And clear your name.
01:10:25You were deceived.
01:10:27Let the court say so.
01:10:28No.
01:10:29I knew Eleanor was his wife.
01:10:31I wanted her place.
01:10:33One step back into this and no one need remember.
01:10:38I will remember.
01:10:43I chose the harm.
01:10:45I choose what I refuse now.
01:10:50Stand with us.
01:10:52Start in the back row.
01:10:53The edge is mine.
01:10:56This is not forgiveness.
01:11:00I know.
01:11:02It's still my end to hold.
01:11:04Now.
01:11:12We can hide it before anyone sees.
01:11:14Fold the tear inward.
01:11:15Keep the line, Grace.
01:11:16Stop!
01:11:17If Grace requires us to hide the damage, it isn't ours.
01:11:20Leave the tear open.
01:11:22You're taking that rag to the Winter Feast.
01:11:26Keep Cecily with you.
01:11:27I only need the rhythm of her runs.
01:11:30If you choose this step, take an end.
01:11:32Don't mend it.
01:11:33Give it to someone who will hold.
01:11:36I'll begin at the break.
01:11:41Down on three.
01:11:42Pass on four.
01:11:44Rise together on five.
01:11:55Again.
01:11:56No.
01:11:58Let them remember the first one.
01:12:00What name goes on the Feast program?
01:12:02Open Gate Hall.
01:12:03Exactly that.
01:12:04We will not dance unnamed.
01:12:06At the feast, may I be the first one to stand for you?
01:12:14Yes.
01:12:15From your seat.
01:12:17You stand for me.
01:12:18I speak for us.
01:12:23Your invitation stands.
01:12:25The Hall's name does not.
01:12:26No broken sash figure tonight.
01:12:30So we may be seen, as long as no one knows who they're seeing.
01:12:35Stay beside me.
01:12:36I could sponsor your little hall, if you learn when not to name it.
01:12:41Then you're not offering patronage.
01:12:43You're buying silence.
01:12:45We are Open Gate Hall.
01:12:47I am not for sale.
01:12:53I'll stand when you rise.
01:12:55Stay with Benedict.
01:13:03If we enter unnamed, we leave unnamed.
01:13:06I won't teach that step.
01:13:15On three.
01:13:24Wrong program.
01:13:26Clear the floor.
01:13:28No.
01:13:29We know the step.
01:13:30Follow her feet.
01:13:33Let them see where it broke.
01:13:47That's our hall.
01:13:49That's my mother.
01:13:57We are dancers, workers, mothers, and women who needed one open door.
01:14:01We are Open Gate Hall.
01:14:02Then the palace owes you nothing.
01:14:05Keep the fee.
01:14:06We keep our name.
01:14:11My sister needs somewhere safe tonight.
01:14:13Can you help me find work?
01:14:28We're in the palace.
01:14:30All right.
01:14:35predominantly they need the pel好好 but exhale.
01:14:38We will help.
01:14:42Move.
01:14:43Mandy, stove, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady, rady.
01:14:46I don't want strangers asking me to prove I'm brave.
01:14:53My children are not the hall's signs, witnesses, or little gatekeepers.
01:14:58They owe no one proof.
01:15:03Sit her down. Send for a physician.
01:15:09Who gave this place the right to take the men?
01:15:12Ask the women who walked here with nowhere else to go.
01:15:22You're right.
01:15:23This door cannot rest on us alone.
01:15:33Step aside, and Lord Frederick keeps the noble purses open.
01:15:37Then let their purses close.
01:15:39My silence isn't for sale, neither is this doorway.
01:15:45She nearly fainted when she came in.
01:15:54I'll examine her. Stay beside her.
01:15:58First lesson. Feet apart, shoulders down, breathe before you move.
01:16:11No. They already have it.
01:16:19Front door. The care room. The training hall.
01:16:24You carried the work before I asked.
01:16:26Now carry the keys.
01:16:28Feet, foot, one.
01:16:38Frederick signed it. No city seal.
01:16:41He wants people to shun us. He cannot close this hall.
01:16:51This hall tears families apart.
01:16:57In this hall, I spent my first night without being afraid of a knock at the door.
01:17:07I earned my first wages here.
01:17:09Not charity. Wages.
01:17:13I'll take this one.
01:17:15Wood to the wall. Keep the doorway clear.
01:17:18Lord Monfart has called on every respectable household.
01:17:23They're calling on private carts to obstruct the whole road.
01:17:26That road is public.
01:17:27No family summoned can close it.
01:17:44Could we call it the safe house?
01:17:46Just for now?
01:17:51Not safe house.
01:17:53I don't want danger on our door every day.
01:17:59Tell each other what you'd like instead.
01:18:04Sunlight.
01:18:06Then the sunlit room?
01:18:15Sunlight.
01:18:32Where should it go?
01:18:34Here.
01:18:34Not outside.
01:18:41Then here it stays.
01:18:47Noble carriages.
01:18:48They're lined across the public gate.
01:18:53Stay with them.
01:19:06Stay with them.
01:19:09My name is Beatrice Sinclair.
01:19:12I will not trade this road or these women for my place at court.
01:19:15Inside the porch.
01:19:17Leave the road to the gatekeeper.
01:19:23Private coaches do not close a public road.
01:19:26Move them back.
01:19:27Now.
01:19:43You don't have to break yourself to prove the gate belongs to everyone.
01:19:50Then we open it together.
01:19:52For this opening only, it returns to the gatehouse.
01:20:01Close the hall.
01:20:03We offer a dignified exit.
01:20:10I know who pays when women like me close a door.
01:20:13Not them.
01:20:13Not again.
01:20:17On my mark.
01:20:18Together.
01:20:22Stay between the banners.
01:20:24Easy pace.
01:20:28Hear the crown's word.
01:20:30This public passage will not be blocked by private hands.
01:20:33Open gate halls guild approved use remains in force.
01:20:37The key belongs here.
01:20:38The open road is enough.
01:20:47Lean if you need to.
01:20:51Mama, can we open them now?
01:20:56Now.
01:21:02Did you open the gate?
01:21:04We did.
01:21:05We did.
01:21:05You
