Outlander (2014–…): Season 4, Episode 8 - Wilmington - full transcript
Roger's diligent search for Brianna pays off when he finds her in Wilmington, but their romantic reunion comes to an abrupt halt when she discovered pertinent information that he intentionally kept from her.
- CLAIRE: Previously...
- Give me the mater rings!
I have some news.
Claire found Jamie.
MURTAGH: We'll pay
what we owe in taxes.
The corruption
of the governor's sheriffs
and tax collectors must end!
I love you.
Will you marry me?
I'm not ready for this.
ROGER: Her mother
found a lost love.
You mean when she went back
in time to find Jamie Fraser?
I wasna sure if
I should show you.
ROGER: An obituary?
"Of the deaths by fire
"of James MacKenzie Fraser...
and his wife."
BRIANNA: Roger,
I found out something terrible
is going to happen
to my mother and Jamie.
If I didn't try
to go and help them,
I would never
have forgiven myself.
Please don't try to follow me,
Roger.

- Is Ian not with you?
- Uh, he'll be along tomorrow.
He's gone to Brunswick
to fetch casks for our whisky.
The governor has invited us
to join him and his wife
at the theater.
Summoned us to join him.
You came all this way
for a play?
No, we came all this way
to see you.
- And Germain.
- CLAIRE: Shall I put him down?
- Mm.

The governor's eager
to introduce me
to one of his right-hand men,
Mr. Edmund Fanning.
A right-hand man
with both his hands
dipped in the treasury...
or so Murtagh would tell us.
Marsali, shall I help you
get the rest of lunch?
Yes.
So, how are you all coping...
you and Fergus with the baby?

Bein' a mother to a wee bairn...
my heart is so full o' love

But...

Is something the matter?
No, 'tis only...

I look at him and I ken
I'd have a knife through my gut

If anything should
ever happen to him...

Hi.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing here?
Looking for you.
At no small risk to life

You weren't supposed
to come here.
That wasn't the plan.
What, and you call tearing off
into bloody nowhere a plan?
No, I would've told you.
I just...
I didn't know where we stood

You didn't know

Roger, wait.
How did you even know
where I was?
I spoke to Gayle.
She told me you were going
to visit your mum.
So I went to find you
in Inverness...
- You read my letter.
- Of course I read your letter.
And that's all I got?
A letter?
- You could have called me.
- I wanted to call you,
but I didn't know how

I have an idea.
D'ye know what handfasting is?

a temporary marriage.
In the Highlands,

Very pleased you could join us,
Mister and Mistress Fraser.
This play is said to be
quite exceptional.
Indeed, it was written
by a native son of Wilmington.
[ indistinct chatter ]
Ah, Fanning!
Come, come.
Come.
I must introduce you
to a friend.
Mr. Fanning, may I present
Mr. James Fraser
of Fraser's Ridge.
Mr. Edmund Fanning,
my dear friend and colleague.
A pleasure, sir.
My wife, Claire Fraser.
Mr. Fanning sits on the Assembly and
is my public register of deeds.
He's also, I might add, leader
of the Orange County militia
and judge of the superior court
in Salisbury, in your county.
A man with many strings
to his bow.
His Excellency speaks highly
of you as well, Mr. Fraser,
especially in the light
of our current grievances
in the western counties.
The Regulators?
Do not dignify those insurgents
with that name.
I would be ashamed to declare
anyone save the Lord above
a "regulator" of all things.
- [ grunts softly ]
- Are you in pain, Mr. Fanning?
Oh, I am afraid I injured
myself standing against the mob
which assembled
in Hillsborough last May.
Quite literally standing,
mind you.
- [ all chuckling ]
- I am an object of jest.
In an attempt to appease
the insurgents,
I carried rum to the river
where they were encamped,
meaning to persuade them
against their lawlessness.
A noble deed...
one which preserved the lives
of many, I'm sure.
As I turned to leave,
my boot stayed in the mud,
and I must have wounded myself.
I've a strange protrusion.
The least movement now sends
me into paroxysms of pain.
My physician assures me
it will go away in time.
Not if it is
what I think it might be.
If I were to examine it,
I could know for sure.
My wife is a healer,
Mr. Fanning.
Ah.
TRYON: Well, let us defer
to Mr. Fanning's physician,
shall we?
Well, if the pain gets worse,
you may need to see a surgeon.
Mr. Fraser, uh, allow me
to introduce you
to some of my acquaintances.
My wife will present
Mistress Fraser to the wives.
Please.
Ah...
the society of the wives.
[ laughs ]
Indeed.
But fear not... I will help you
navigate these waters.
Ah, there.
You've heard of the face
that launched a thousand ships.
Well, here's a lady who could
fill as many with tobacco
if she so chose.
Wit and wealth aplenty.
- [ indistinct chatter ]
- [ chuckles ]
CLAIRE: Her husband seems to
have captured the attention
of the crowd as well.
That's Colonel Washington.
I'm sorry, who?
Colonel George Washington.
He's a former soldier
with the Virginia Regiment.
[ laughter ]
Well, I should love
to meet them both.
Mister and Mistress Fraser
recently settled
their own estate...
10,000 acres
in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The parcel that Mr. Washington
surveyed for me last year.
Yes, I remember.
A magnificent stretch
of wilderness.
Aye, good land...
so generously granted to us
by His Excellency.
Hitherto
unprecedented generosity.
10,000 acres...
the governor must be
quite fond of you.
TRYON:
Of course I'm fond of him.
Mr. Fraser is a loyal man...
a former soldier, you know.
Oh?
Were you with us
against the French?
No...
but I've heard tales
of your husband's exploits
in those wars.
I fought at Culloden in '46.
I do not recall that battle.
I spent my youth in Virginia.
Chopping down cherry trees...
Is what a-a young boy would do.
- Figure of speech.
- [ bell ringing ]
MAN: Ladies and gentlemen,
the play will soon begin.
- Ah.
- Let us be seated.
[ indistinct chatter ]
George Washington...
he will be perhaps the most
famous American to ever live.
What does he do
to gain such notoriety?
Well, he's the man who wins
the war against the British,
and he'll be the first leader
of this country.
But he won't be a king.
He'll be called a "president,"
elected by the people.
Oh, if Brianna were here,
she'd have a hundred questions
to ask him.
Uh, yeah...
I think
we're supposed to kneel.

mean to deprive me of my home.
They refuse to see

Well, let's hope my men
put on a good show tonight.
I'm sorry?
"All the world's a stage,
"and all the men and women

Never goes out of fashion.

Aye, but it's not Shakespeare
we're seeing tonight,
Your Excellency.
Indeed not,
but we are at a theater
of His Majesty the King
in all its glory,
made possible through taxes,
not something those insurgents
would ever comprehend.
- A night to remember.
- [ chuckles softly ]
But what has this to do
with yer men?
The insurgents...
[ chuckles ]
I have a spy in their camp.
They mean to rob a carriage
carrying tax monies
to the treasury at New Bern...
tonight,
as it leaves Wilmington.
They're here, gentlemen,
encamped upon the road
to New Bern.

You were so happy when I told you
that your parents found each other.
I couldn't bear
making you sad again.
You found out my mother died,
and you didn't think
that I should know that?
At first, I did.
I wanted to tell ye.
Brianna...
there was no point
breaking your heart.
Even Fiona agreed...
Fiona?
You talked to Fiona
about this?
About my mother
and time travel?
That's how
I found the obituary.
Fiona had it,
or her granny did.
She was a caller for
the dancers at Craigh na Dun.
Fiona already knew
about time travel,
and she agreed that
if I told you about the fire,
it would do more harm
than good.
Oh, she did, did she?
She's the one you consulted
about this and not me?
And then
the two of you decided
that I shouldn't know
that my own mother was dead?
She was already dead.
You knew she was dead.
She's been dead for 200 years.
What could you do?
This.
Roger, I could do this.
But you didn't want me to.
ROGER: Brianna,
we have this gift,
but we cannot be the arbiters
of who lives and who dies,
or we'd save
all our loved ones.
That was my decision to make.
I would never have done that
to you, Roger.
How dare you
take that choice away from me?
I didn't want to
break your heart!
No, you wanted me
to be happy so I'd marry you.
Yes!
Yes.
Pardon me for wanting you
to be my wife,
which, by the way, you are now,
so maybe it's time
you listened to me.
What?
I'm your wife, so now
I have to do what you say?
Is that how it's gonna be?
You make all
of my decisions for me
so I don't have to worry
my pretty little head?
You're twisting my words.
I nearly died coming after you!
Well, I didn't ask you to come.
Oh, that's right.
You just left.
You left without
saying a word...
just a note I was supposed
to receive a year later,
after ye'd died or got stuck.
- Maybe I should just go back.
- Maybe you should.
Is that what you want?
For me to leave
and return through the stones?
Turns out Lizzie and I
do pretty well on our own.
Brianna,
you told me about
your last words to your father
and how you've never forgiven
yourself for leaving him like that...
Don't you dare
bring my father into this.
It's the same thing.
Can't you see that?
Right when it matters,
you're pushing me away.
Screw you!

Maybe this was a mistake.
Fine.

we have this gift,
but we cannot be the arbiters
of who lives and who dies,
or we'd save
all our loved ones.
That was my decision to make.
I would never have done that
to you, Roger.
How dare you
take that choice away from me?
I didn't want to
break your heart!
No, you wanted me
to be happy so I'd marry you.
Yes!
Yes.
Pardon me for wanting you
to be my wife,
which, by the way, you are now,
so maybe it's time
you listened to me.
What?
I'm your wife, so now
I have to do what you say?
Is that how it's gonna be?
You make all
of my decisions for me
so I don't have to worry
my pretty little head?
You're twisting my words.
I nearly died coming after you!
Well, I didn't ask you to come.
Oh, that's right.
You just left.
You left without
saying a word...
just a note I was supposed
to receive a year later,
after ye'd died or got stuck.
- Maybe I should just go back.
- Maybe you should.
Is that what you want?
For me to leave
and return through the stones?
Turns out Lizzie and I
do pretty well on our own.
Brianna,
you told me about
your last words to your father
and how you've never forgiven
yourself for leaving him like that...
Don't you dare
bring my father into this.
It's the same thing.
Can't you see that?
Right when it matters,
you're pushing me away.
Screw you!
I was just a kid.
Well, you know what?
You still are.
You're acting like a child.
Maybe this was a mistake.
Fine.
If you really believe that,
then you should go.

The insurgents must have
received word of my plan.
- Someone alerted them?
- TRYON: Obviously.
I told both of you about it,
as well as Fanning
and Colonel Washington, but...
you were all in my company.
No.
I saw him leave the play.
Who?
Colonel Washington,
Your Excellency.
I saw him and his wife
putting on their coats
as I ran to fetch the surgeon.
- The two of them?
- Yes.
The two of them together.
Never trust a Virginian.
Washington's day will come.

Blow on it, will ye, darlin'?

Perhaps ye'll change my luck.
Where did you get this?
Why do you ask?
It looks like one
my mother had.
Does it now?
Is she alive?
It's bad luck to wear
the jewelry of the dead.
I cannot say I've noticed
that effect myself,
but I can assure you, your mother was
both alive and well when I left her.
Where is she?
Afraid I don't know.
My time with the lady
was some while ago,
though pleasant.
