[ROGER] Brianna,
what do you truly believe?


Roger, how could I ever know for sure

[JAMIE] News of our death.

[CLAIRE] We die in a fire.

[JAMIE] King George and Royal Governor

Josiah Martin send you these r*fles.

I will fight with you, Bear k*ller.

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.

[TOM] Your wife stands before us

up to her elbows in blood.

I don't think we're implying anything.

[MURDINA] 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 m*rder
of Malva Christie.

About how we know about the things

Uh-oh!

[ROGER] 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.

[ROGER] 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.

A thing that happened to me.

There was an auld fortune teller

She grabbed my hand

Bent so close,

I could smell the ancient sweat of her.

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

I tried to pull away, but she held firm.

Then she said, "Neuf."

She said she saw the number nine

Or maybe it's just the nearness of you.

[CLAIRE] He was right, of course.

Without Tom, I was as good as dead.

As it was, the journey to Wilmington

passed in a blur of fear and discomfort.

If news of my arrest
had reached Wilmington


ahead of me, then maybe it would reach

Roger and Brianna in Edenton as well.

While I wondered what
was to happen to me,


my constant thought was for Jamie.

Tom Christie was plainly

my only hope of learning anything,

He was clearly troubled.
