Outlander (2014–…): Season 6, Episode 8 - I Am Not Alone - full transcript

Previously...

Brianna,
what do you truly believe?

Roger, how could I
ever know for sure

that Jemmy is his?

News of our death.

We die in a fire.

King George
and Royal Governor

Josiah Martin
send you these rifles.

I will fight
with you, Bear Killer.

He's asked if I might
preach the sermon on Sunday.

As a lay minister, of course.



- Why doesn't Tom do it?
- Well, Tom's not a preacher.

Neither are you.

What if I want to make
the preaching official?

There's a Presbytery
in Edenton.

We'll leave as soon as we can.

Your wife
stands before us

up to her elbows in blood.

I don't think
we're implying anything.

After that dreadful
accusation and her confessing

to all and sundry
in the meeting place,

that it was Mr. Fraser's bairn
she was carrying.

Mr. Fraser,
we've come for your wife,

to arrest her for the murder
of Malva Christie.

We've come
to arrest her for murder.

The murder of Malva Christie.

Ye'll leave my land, sir.

And ye'll do it now.

Oh, we'll leave.

Hand over your wife,
and we'll be gone.

Vanished like the morning dew.

Bride save us.

Mrs. Bug, go get help now.

By what right
do you come here?

I'm only doin' what I must.

I ken what ye're doin'.

I am the Committee
of Safety, Mr. Fraser.

I have a responsibility
to the people of these parts.

I have
a responsibility as well.

Oh, I know it.
I'm a married man myself.

I didn't expect you
to just give her up,

but you will soon enough.

You'll see.

♪ ♪

Stop there.

Don't shoot.

Hand me that fowling piece.

All right, I will.

- Claire!
- Arrest him!

Goddamn. You shot me.

I did,
and I'll bloody do it again

if you don't get out of here!

Duck!

Jamie!

Claire! Get inside!

Bloody hell!
Are you all right?

Here.
It's primed and loaded.

Front door. Claire!

Claire, the table!

♪ ♪

Turn her over, Fraser!

Close the shutters.

We need more guns.

You three,
get around the other side!

Give it up.
You're outnumbered!

I'm all right!

Take cover!

♪ ♪

Go!

Go to the dining room.
Cover the south and east.

Let them think
Josiah's in here wi' us.

All right.

Go now, Claire.

Surrender, Fraser!

Fire!

Can anybody see them?

Get back, ye bastards!

Surround the house!

Ah!

Back up, back up!

Reload!

We need cover!

We've got you
at all four, Mr. Fraser!

This is what he wanted.

Not to arrest ye,
but to have cause to kill ye,

kill us all.

It's a good thing
the wee ones got away safe.

Brown found out it was Marsali
killed his brother.

So that's what
all this has been about?

Malva's death
is but an excuse for revenge.

Fraser!

Come one step closer, man.
One shot is all I need.

Fraser!
Can you hear me?

What's the matter with you?

You never heard
of a flag o' truce,

you horse-stealing Scotcher?

If I wanted ye dead, man,

ye'd be coolin' this minute!

Say yer piece.

You know what I want.

I want
that murderous witch of yours.

Goddamn it!

Look.

We ain't gonna hurt her!

We only mean
to take her to Salisbury.

There's a court there.

She'll get a fair trial.

That's the law, ain't it?

Ye have my answer.

Hold your fire!

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Lexington and Concord,

the Siege of Boston.

Those've all happened.

It'll seem
like the end of the world.

Up until recently,

I'd've sold my soul
to be up there.

But my soul is being pulled
another way now.

And as a father,

well, that's one benefit
of knowing the rest.

I'm pretty sure
there won't be any battles

in Edenton Seminary.

We'll all be safe.

When do we tell Jemmy?

Do we tell him?

About the war?

About how we know
about the things

that haven't happened yet.

Time travel.

Uh-oh!

Maybe we don't.

Christ, how do you tell a kid
something like that?

I dunno.

You'd tell them
if they were adopted

or if there's
some family scandal,

like their favorite uncle's
not dead, he's in prison.

If you tell them early on,

it doesn't mean
that much to them,

I don't think.

If they find out later,
it's a shock.

You'd know.

So would you.

At least with you,
it wasn't a choice.

It's not like the reverend
could have told you

what you were but didn't.

So you think your parents
should have told you sooner?

Yes.

And no.

I mean, I can see
why they didn't.

Daddy didn't even
believe it to start with.

As for what
he did believe, well,

whatever it was,
he did ask Mama

to let me think
he was my real father.

She gave him her word.

I guess I-I don't think
she should have broken it, no.

Well, it may not
mean that much to Jemmy

if we tell him early on,
but it's definitely gonna get

the attention of his friends
when he starts telling them.

We're lucky he doesn't
remember going to the stones.

So we wait until
he's old enough to realize

he can't tell people.

That it's a secret.

There's another risk for us
in telling him.

What's that?

He might decide
to leave us one day.

Come on, man.

♪ ♪

Is there water?

Uh, yes.

Here.

Shall I go get some more?

No. This'll do.

It's no' going to be
a long siege, Claire.

It's gettin' late.

What do you mean by that?

What do you think they'll do?

Fire the house as soon
as it gets dark, I suppose.

You think
they're going to burn us?

That's what I would do
in their shoes.

Smoke us out.

Or burn us alive.

Aye.

It couldn't be, could it?

The obituary said the Sabbath
before the 21st of January.

It's May, for heaven's sake.

I was a printer, Claire.

Ye canna trust everything
ye read in the broadsheets.

That's reassuring.

Then again, to be out
by more than four months...

All right.
So they smoke us out.

What do we do?
Fight to the death?

I won't go with them, Jamie.
I'd rather die than--

I would never let you go.

So what's our plan?

I'm still thinkin' on it.

Mrs. Bug got out?

I think so.

She'll go for Arch first thing.

If she finds him,
he'll run for Kenny Lindsay.

He's closest.
Lizzie will go for Ronnie.

Lizzie?

Aye.

Saw her at the stables.
She ran east.

Dinna fash, mo nighean donn.

She'll be safe.
She's wi' her husband.

Well, one o' them.

That food'll have shot
and glass in it, I suppose.

Food?

Aye. In the dining room.

I'm starvin'.

It's quiet now, but we'll need
strength for what's to come.

♪ ♪

You should be a woodworker.

Instead of a minister?

In addition.
Like Jesus.

Oh, man.

Oh. Hmm.

- That is a good one, isn't it?
- Yeah, mm-hm.

Looks like yours.
The one we drove in Scotland.

I was actually thinking
of that Mustang of yours.

Remember that time we drove up
into the mountains

in North Carolina?

I do.

You almost drove us
off the road.

Because someone thought
it was a good idea

to kiss me
at 75 miles per hour.

We almost broke up
that weekend.

We did break up that weekend.

Yeah, but then I pursued you.

Through time.

Usual story.

Mm, watch where
you're going there, Ace.

I thought
ye found speed erotic.

Vroom, vroom.

- Uh-uh, we'll wake Jemmy.
- Mm-mm.

Nary a Ford Mustang
could wake him.

Do you think we'll ever
go 75 miles per hour again?

Now what did I do
with that car?

What do you need it for?

I just thought I might explore
the terrain a wee bit more.

Well, you could
explore on foot.

Maybe I could.
It'll take a wee bit more time.

Mm.

Well, did you have
a longer journey in mind?

Oh, aye. The scenic route.

Mm...

- Hang on, try--
- Okay.

- I can't.
- Oh?

Bump.

All right.

The condemned
ate a hearty meal.

What?

It's an American
tradition from my time.

A prisoner condemned to death
is allowed to request

whatever he wants
for his last meal.

Whatever he wants?

Within reason.

Hmm.

I've heard it's often
something they remember

from their childhood.

Something their mother
made them.

What would you choose?

Cheeseburger, fries,
and a Coke from Carmi's.

It's a diner,

a restaurant I used to take
Bree to when she was little.

And that was our regular order.

Mm.

I wouldna choose
any other thing...

than this very meal

wi' you...

...in our home.

I'd always thought
being so close to death

would make one
too nervous to eat.

Apparently not.

Where on Earth is Ian?

Surely, he should
be here by now

if he'd heard the gunfire.

Aye. Hunting, maybe.

Where is everyone else?

If they're no' here
by now, Claire,

then they'll no' be comin'.

Why wouldn't they help us?

They wouldn't turn Mrs. Bug
or Lizzie away at their doors.

Not unless they really believe
that I did it,

that I killed Malva.

Dinna fash, mo nighean donn.

Come. Mo chridhe.
Lie down.

There's nothing else
to do, is there?

Nothing else but wait.

I might say
an Act of Contrition.

We did that always
the night before a battle.

Just in case.

All right, then.
Just in case.

Wait.

You say it in French?

Aye.

I was fighting
wi' French mercenaries then.

I didna want to stand out.

I can say it in Gaelic
or English if ye prefer.

English, please.
Just this once.

Oh, my God,

I am heartily sorry
for offending Thee.

I detest all my sins
for thy just punishments,

but most of all, my God,
because they offend Thee.

My God who art all good

and deserving of all my love.

How many times, would you say,
have I come close to dying?

I don't know.

You were dreadfully ill
at the abbey after Wentworth,

and after Culloden,

you said you had a terrible
fever from your wounds.

You thought you might die.

Only Jenny
nursed you through it.

Hmm, forced me through it,
more like.

Hmm.

That's when Laoghaire
tried to kill you.

And you forced me through that.

And likewise
when the snake bit me.

Do you count the shipwreck?

You almost died then, not me.

Very well, then.
Have it your way.

Hmm.

Then, of course,
there's your...

Back. Aye.

You're a hard man to kill,
I think.

Hmm.

That brings me
a great deal of comfort.

Dare I ask why you're
bringing this up, though?

I was thinking about France.

A thing that happened to me.

There was
an auld fortune teller

reading palms.

She grabbed my hand
and spat into my palm

before I could object.

Bent so close,

I could smell
the ancient sweat of her.

"T'es un chat, toi,"she said.

She said you were a cat?

Mm-hmm.

I tried to pull away,
but she held firm.

Then she said, "Neuf."

She said she saw
the number nine

written in my hand...

and also death.

Do you think
you have nine lives?

I hope so.

I never thought
that hearing a litany

of your near-death experiences
would bring me so much peace.

Or maybe it's just
the nearness of you.

No. Fisherfolk.

Halt there!
I'm armed.

Well, the whole world

Hiram Crombie.
That's good.

Is it?

He hasn't exactly
taken our side

in any of this.

Aye, it is good.

No matter what
Hiram thinks of us,

he willna allow Brown
to set the house alight

what I told Mr. Brown.

Ye'll take my wife

Thou shall not

Justice, justice!

Justice is mine,

Now the committee

want to take her to trial.

Anyone accused is entitled
to that, are they not?

Aye.

And if she be innocent,
how can you refuse?

That seems reasonable
to me, Mr. Fraser.

What say you?

I say, if I surrender her
to the hands of this man,

she willna live
to stand trial.

He blames me
for the death of his brother.

He would slaughter her
out of hand

for sake of revenge upon me.

Look at him.

He has no more to do
with justice than with honor.

You lay with a woman

Mr. Fraser.

Aye.

If that be honor...
then I concur.

Take him!
Put him to a trial.

It was him
who debauched my sister...

And killed her.

So I told you, Mr. Brown.

No, it is her.

A man might kill a lass

but no man
would do such wickedness

as steal a babe
unborn from the womb.

None but a witch would do that!

I would not have his death
on my conscious, nor yours.

- But where--
- Trust in God.

He will deliver the righteous
out of danger.

You think I'm righteous?

I will not leave town,
Mistress Fraser.

You may trust that too.

I'll see you at the gallows,
Mistress Fraser.

Where's my wife?

What have you done with her?

I ain't done nothin',
Mr. Fraser.

Though what Mr. Brown
may have done, well,

All the trouble
that bitch put us through,

and killing my friend Ezra...

I hope she dies.

Oh!

You're goin' aboard that ship.

And then that ship's
taking you home to Scotland,

where you belong.

We depart for Edinburgh
within the hour.

You'll never see
your witch of a wife again.

I trust you have
my money, Mr. Oakes.
