Outlander (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 13 - Dragonfly in Amber - full transcript

Previously...

My pain, it grows more tedious.

It will be like
drifting off into a deep sleep.

Oh, brother.

The prince is a
canny, slippery man.

We have thwarted him all we can.

All that plotting. How the
bloody hell did we end up here?

The prince will have his
battle on Culloden Moor.

It is the promise of history.

Promise me that if the time should come,
you will go back through the stones.

I promise.



- Claire?
- Frank, I'm back.

I'm carrying another man's child.

- Yes, Roger?
- May I go outside to play, Father?

I don't think I've ever
heard him call you father.

Children accept the world
as it is presented to them.

I want us to be together.

Are you sure about this, Frank?

We will raise
this child as our own.

Yours and mine.

There doesn't appear to be any cream.

The cream... is in the kitchen.

Oh.

You really should get
back to your guests.

They keep asking for you.

♪

Thank you all for coming.

It would've meant a great
deal to my father.

And if you knew him, you know that he was
not one to leave anything to chance,

including the toast for his own wake.

"To Death, the jolly old bouncer now."

- The Reverend.
- The Reverend.

♪

Your father
was such a delightful man.

I'll always remember his sense of humor.

Thank you.

The Reverend
helped so many people.

- He'll be sorely missed.
- Thank you.

Would you excuse me, uh, for a moment?

Oh, of course.

Roger, so sorry to hear about your loss.

- Thanks very much.
- It's nice to see you.

- My condolences.
- Thanks very much.

Appreciate it.

- You have my sympathies.
- Oh, thank you.

I'll speak to you in a minute.

- Tom, how are you?
- Yeah, not bad.

- Good.
- Listen, Roger, I'll be here for you.

- I appreciate it. Thank you.
- Okay.

♪

Are you Roger Wakefield?

♪♪

Yes.

Definitely. That's me. Yes.

- I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure.
- Roger.

It is.

Well, I can't believe it.

After all these years.

Uh, I'm sorry,

but do I... do I know you?

Oh, of course, you wouldn't remember me.

Last time I saw you, you were about,
oh, seven or eight years old.

I'm Claire Randall. I was an
old friend of your father's.

Ah.

Very sorry to
hear about his passing.

- Thank you.
- I see you've met my daughter.

Actually, no, we haven't
been formally introduced.

Brianna.

The daughter.

A pleasure, Miss Randall.

We were staying with relatives
down in London when we heard.

His heart, I believe?

Yes, yes, uh... very sudden.

I'd just seen him at Christmas,
and he was in high spirits.

I hadn't seen your father in a very long
time, but I... I was very fond of him.

- So was Daddy.
- Oh, yes, of course.

Uh, my late husband, Frank...
they were very close.

Randall.

Frank Randall, of course.
I remember you now, yes.

Claire. You... you're
a nurse, as I recall.

Oh, yes, I was. I... I'm a doctor now.

She's being modest. She's a surgeon.

Hm.

Uh, Bree and I are... are
visiting from the States.

Oh, I thought I detected
an American accent.

- Boston, to be exact.
- She's a history major in Harvard.

Really? I'm on leave from the
history department at Oxford.

Oxford. Impressive.

Is Mrs. Graham still in
the Reverend's employ?

I haven't seen her yet.

Sadly, we lost her a few years ago,

but her granddaughter
Fiona is here somewhere.

So many things are the same, and
yet things are so different.

There are quite a lot of memories here.

Would you excuse me?

- I'd like to take a look around.
- Yeah.

- Uh, first time in Scotland, then?
- Uh-huh.

And will you have much time to take
in the sights while you're here?

We only came up for the day
so Mother could pay her respects.

We're meant to be headed
back to London this evening.

Oh, that's a shame.
Beautiful, wild country.

I was always curious about Scotland.

It was a special place
to both my parents.

Roger?

I beg your pardon,
but it's time to say good-bye.

The Browns are leaving.

Oh, yes, of course.
Thank you, Fiona.

Uh...
you'll excuse me for a moment?

Yeah.

♪

♪

Mrs. Graham had warned me
not to spend my days chasing a ghost,

and so I hadn't.

But now that I was here,
the ghosts were starting to chase me.

♪

Thanks again.

Thank you. Arthur, love to your wife.

Hey, sorry she couldn't come along.

Well,
we should be going.

Not all the way back to London?

Oh, no, we'll drive as far as we can
and then stop at a pub for the night.

There's plenty of room here
if you'd like to stay.

Oh, we couldn't possibly impose.

You wouldn't be.

In fact, I'd welcome the company.

It's a big house.

Sounds better than jolting down
the wrong side of the road

in the dark.

Besides, it'll give me a
chance to take in the sights.

I hear it's a beautiful, wild country.

All right.

- Uh, just so long as we're no bother.
- I'll fetch your bags from the car.

- The guest room's just...
- Top of the stairs.

I remember.

♪

I couldn't sleep, so I
helped myself to a dram.

I hope you don't mind.

Oh, no bother.

I'll have one with you.

Ah.

That's better.

You know, I pestered him for
years to throw things away

and clean up the clutter.

Now I can't bear to part with any of it.

There's a lot of history here.

Mm-hmm.

Not just the family's, either,

but Scotland's as well.

The college here in
Inverness have asked me

to donate his library to their archives.

I'm not sure I'll donate everything.

He was quite fond of
several rare editions

of Prince Charles Stuart and
the Battle of Culloden.

Culloden.

Mm.

Final battle of the '45.

My ancestors fought and
died there, actually.

Really?

Yes, my true name's Roger MacKenzie.

My parents were Jerry
and Marjorie MacKenzie.

The Reverend adopted me

after they were killed in World War II.

♪

MacKenzie.

I used to know quite a few MacKenzies...

once upon a time.

It's a common name here.

♪

May I ask you something personal?

♪

How did you do it?

♪

Finally say good-bye...

to that one person you loved
most in all the world?

♪

Truth is, I've never been
very good at saying good-bye,

but that's the hell of it, isn't it?

♪

Whether you want to say good-bye or not,

God, you are so like him.

I tell you, the... the army is not ready

the Lord who had risen from the dead...

Not until he felt the wounds,

pressed his fingers where
the nails had been.

It's a blessing...

Colum didn't live to see this dark day.

It's the prince.

The Battle of Culloden
will happen today,

just as history foretold.

Sentries have spotted the advance guard

four miles out.

Cumberland has broken camp.

His army is marching on the south side

Fort William.

Built in the 1600s.

The Gaelic name for it
is An Gearastan Dubh,

"The Black Garrison."

It was used by the British as
a command post and prison,

intended to control the "savage clans

and the roving barbarians."

Military history isn't
really my specialty.

It was your father's, though, right?

The Reverend has a couple of
his books in the library.

One of my earliest memories
is dropping an ice cream cone

off the ramparts of Fort Ticonderoga,

while he held forth on the
heroics of Ethan Allen

and the Green Mountain Boys.

Ethan Allen?

"I regret I have but
one life to give... "

Nathan Hale.

Common mistake.

Never quote American
history to an American.

The Revolutionary War

is practically a religious
text in Boston.

With George Washington as the Messiah

and, uh, Benedict Arnold
as Judas, no doubt.

Benedict Arnold is a deeply
misunderstood historical figure.

I thought you didn't
like military history.

We Randalls
are a verra complicated clan, laddie.

That is absolutely

the worst accent I have ever heard.

Do you remember my father very well?

Bits and pieces.

He was a snappy dresser.

Wore his hat down over
one eye, very dashing,

and, um...

seemed very kind.

He was.

The kindest man in the world.

Your mother seems very kind as well.

My mother...

lives in another world.

This place gives me the chills.

With good reason.

Many Scottish prisoners
were flogged here.

A lot of blood was
spilled on this ground.

♪

♪

♪

My father built
this place, ye ken.

His blood and sweat are in this stone.

Are you playing with the apples?

What's your name?

This is my wee Jamie.

This is your uncle, mo chridhe,

Congratulations,

your bonny little lass...

Little Margaret Ellen Murray.

'Twas my grandmother's name.

Claire, Claire, they're ready.

- They're giant.
- Oh, my goodness.

You were right,
telling us to plant them.

I'm beginning to feel like...

I actually belong here.

I knew ye belonged here with me,

since the first time I laid eyes on ye.

"Come and let us live, my Dear.

Let us love and never fear."

"Then let amorous kisses dwell,

"on our lips, begin and tell

a Hundred and a Thousand more."

This battle, this war...

everything that's about to happen...

it all depends on Charles.

Aye.

And what if he were to die...

now?

Right now.

Then the battle wouldn't happen,

and this whole bloody
rebellion would die with him.

Christ.

I have this.

It's yellow jasmine, and it's poisonous.

It's what Colum took last night.

Colum?

He begged me.

He knew that his time was near.

He took his own life?

Claire, that's a mortal sin.

He wanted a quick and peaceful death,

and I gave it to him.

Charles has been suffering
with scurvy for weeks,

and I've been treating him
regularly with tinctures.

I could put this in a tea.

♪

Kill Charles Stuart?

♪

The way it works...

it would be like drifting
into a deep sleep.

♪

And he would never know?

No one would ever know.

♪

Do you have any memory of
an incident that happened

with my parents when they were here?

How do you mean, "incident"?

Something big that happened between them

when they were here
staying with your father.

I was just a wee lad.

I don't remember all the details, but...

I do recall finding Mrs. Graham crying

out in the tool shed.

There were a lot of broken
things lying about,

and I think she said your
father had lost his temper

and smashed everything up.

My father smashed...

Yes, but that wasn't the reason

why she was crying,

I'm certain of that.

My father definitely had a temper,

but he kept it tightly under wraps.

When did this happen?

What year?

Your mother said I was seven or eight

when she last saw me,
so it must have been...

1947 or '48.

My father kept this...

lockbox on the top shelf of his closet.

I knew where he hid the key,

so one day,

I opened it.

There were letters in
there from your father.

Mostly academic stuff, but...

there was this one letter.

The Reverend mentioned an incident

involving my mother and my father,

and the way he phrased it

made me feel like it was something big,

maybe something terrible.

Definitely something he didn't want

to spell out on paper.

It scared me for some reason.

I put the letter back
in the box, locked it,

and never looked at it again.

My father kept a journal.

He wrote in it every night after supper.

There's boxes of them
in the storage room,

if you wouldn't mind
getting a bit grubby.

Grubby doesn't bother me.

You should see my bedroom.

That didn't come out right.

No, no, but I... I, uh,

I get your meaning.

♪

So I've traced the chain of title

for the estate known as
Lallybroch or Broch Tuarach

and found this.

It's the earliest document
we have in our files,

a deed of sasine, transferring
title to the property

from James Alexander
Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser

to James Jacob Fraser Murray.

The property was transferred
in 1745, witnessed

by Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser

and Claire Beauchamp...

well, it's a bit smudged, but I think

her surname's Fraser as well.

Yes...

I believe it was.

And, uh, after that?

Various Murrays, it seems.

The property stayed in that family

for many generations.

I've, uh, made you a copy,

And we can no longer allow

their vision to dictate ours.

When Scotland was united with England

under a single crown,

it was the beginning of the end for us.

We lost more than our independence.

We lost our spirit.

The government in Westminster,

the bankers in the city,

the newspapers of Fleet Street

have stolen our money.

Our voices...

Yes, thanks.

I liked your speech,

but wasn't it the Scottish king James VI

who united the crowns?

And Queen Anne, his
Scottish granddaughter,

who signed the Acts of Union?

Aye,

but Anne was raised Anglican,

already under the
influence of Westminster.

Prince Charles and his father King James

wanted to undo all that.

Sounds like they would've been just

trading one king for another.

Charles was Catholic and a Scot.

Unlike German Geordie and the Hanovers,

his loyalty was to us.

Maybe.

Aye.
