01x04 - Episode 4

Post by bunniefuu »

Colum terence o'hara...

Our father,
who art in heaven...

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread

And forgive us
our trespasses,

As we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not
into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Mother mary, help me!

Thanks
for coming along.

I only wish I could do
more for you, dearest.

I'm becoming
quite concerned for you,

If truth be told.

How so?

In regard to your rather
severe state of distress.

Colum meant
a whole lot to me,

More than I
even knew, I guess.

That's quite apparent.

He must have been
rather a fine fellow

To have so
taken your heart.

I...I wish I might
have known him.

You wouldn't
say that

If you knew
he was a fenian.

You don't say.
A priest.

Remarkable.

Folks believe that's
why he got k*lled.

The english
found out about him

And k*lled him.

The soldiers.

I wonder if it might
not be beneficial

For you to get away
from here, scarlett-

From ireland.

Get away?

Absent yourself

From the geography of
your grief, as it were.

I think it might do you
the world of good.

Where would I go?

Well, there's no question
at all about that.

There isn't?

England, of course.

Go on!

Out of the way!

There's the high mucky-muck lord fenton

Away for a bit.

No regrets on the part of any here present.

Away where?

England,
where he belongs.

It's rumored that herself
will be trailing soon after.

Mrs. Butler?

Aye.
Can you reckon it?

The woman
must be daft.

It's been
said about town

That you're going
to England.

Just a little getaway
trip. London.

They say london's
a rough place, like.

I think I'll be staying
out of the rough parts.

You'll never forgive me
the cheek of it.

Of what, mary?

Of what I've come
to ask of you.

Would you
take me with you?

Take you?
What do you mean?

To England. I'd work
for the expense of it.

I'd take care
of the baby, do chores.

Why would you want
to go to England, mary?

I cannot
remain in ireland.

What do you mean?
Why not, honey?

God forgive me

For the low, disgusting
creature I am.

I'm with child!

There, there.

It's all right, now.

It's all right.

Come on.

Does the father know?

It's no matter
whether he knows or not!

I beg you, mrs. Butler.

Take me away.

I'll work
for the cost of it,

I swear on the head
of your darlin' baby.

Who is the father?

Jesus, mary, and joseph!

Is there not shame enough
in me condition

Without putting a name
to its cause?

I beg you not to ask,
mrs. Butler.

I beg o' ye!

Just calm down now.
Just calm down.

I cannot
remain in ireland.

I daren't.

You do understand
that, don't you?

Is he a married man?
Is that it?

Yes, that's it.

He's a married man.

Supposing I did
take you with me.

I'll be coming back.

You'd have to stay there,

At least until after-

What will you
tell your parents?

Oh, that will
be all right.

I've thought it
through.

I'd write them...

And say I'd come

To have a fondness
for England,

That I'd
decided to stay on.

And then after the-

I'd come home
when I was able.

I've thought it
through.

I beg you, ma'am.

Please
take me with you.

Ha ha ha!

Come on, come on!

How long has he
been feeling poorly, iris?

Couple of days now,

And getting sicker,
it seems.

Eleanor! Rhett told me
you were here.

Sally.
How good to see you.

Rhett, iris has
just been telling me

Her rupert
isn't at all well.

Been hurt?

No, sir, mr. Rhett.

He just
bad off sick.

I think
it's the fever.

How are you, fella?

I've been better,
mr. Rhett.

Sure have.

Yeah. I'd say you are
fairly warmish, rupert.

The yellow fever,
mr. Rhett?

Jesus, don't let it be.

I'll have a doctor
have a look at you.

Meantime, keep him
as cool as you can.

Well, we got 10 or a
dozen cases in charleston.

There's that couple over
at mrs. Brewton's place.

Might be one
at the mortons'.

Now this one.

I don't have to tell you,
it ain't looking good.

We haven't had
a yellow fever outbreak

In four years, dr. Fixe.

We got one now.

All we can do is hope
it stays contained.

Whoa.

Number 3
pembroke terrace, mum.

Isn't it grand-looking,
though?

Nothing's too good
for the irish.

Lord fenton.

Mrs. Butler
is expecting me.

Yes, milord.

And I thought
dublin was big.

From the look
of london so far,

You could
tuck dublin away

In a corner of it.

I bought
a little book

About the places
to see.

I marked some off.

Now how far is
westminster abbey?

Come in.

Tea, madam.

The baby's ready.

Thank you, mary.

Richard, this is
mary boyle.

I brought her with me.

Mary, this is lord fenton.

How do you do, sir?

Hello there.

How did you come

To bring this girl
with you to london?

Mary?
I'm helping her out.

Indeed?

She's a big help
with the baby,

And I'd have had to engage
someone here anyhow.

And how are you
helping her?

She's got herself
into quite a pickle,

As a matter of fact.

She didn't get into it
all by herself, though.

She's gonna have a baby.

It's a darn shame.

I feel
so bad for her.

Your samaritan
inclination

Appear to be flourishing,
scarlett.

She was desperate.

She'll be a whole
lot more desperate

Before
it's all done,

But I don't think
she knows that yet.

I'll always love you,
rhett.

And I you, my dearest.

This isn't the end
of loving, is it?

Never.

Will you forgive me?

For what?

There's
nothing to forgive.

For not giving you
our baby.

I feel so bad about that.

Hush, now.

If there could have
been a bit more time,

I could have
given you our baby.

Our baby
will be with you.

I'll know that.

I'll take good care
of it, I swear.

I know you will,
dearest.

I know.

Kiss me now, rhett.

Kiss me, my lovely love.

I'll inform mrs. Butler
that you're here, milord.

Thank you, roberts.

Would you mind waiting
in the drawing room?

What's your game?

I don't know
what you mean.

Yes, you do.
Why are you here?

Mrs. Butler offered me
a helping hand

In me trouble,
god bless her.

How very convenient
for you.

It was that.

And at what juncture
is it your intention

To disclose to her the
origin of your... Trouble?

If by that you mean

Me bringing you
into it,

I have
no such intentions.

What exactly
are your intentions?

The best I can manage,

Lacking the wherewithal
to get to america,

Which you denied me.

Aah!

Get out of this house,
you little sl*t.

I'll be that
soon enough.

Sooner! Do you understand me? Do you?

The understanding
is for you to be doing.

I'll take the advantages

As has been given to me
by your shameless trollop,

And there's no one
will say me nay.

Obviously she is unaware

Of your true feelings,
you deceitful little wh*re.

Deceit is it? There's the pot
calling the kettle black.

Get out of my sight.

Aye. I'll do that
quick enough,

Seeing that to take meself
from your sight

Will remove you from mine,

And I'll welcome
the benefit of that!

Mother, may I
introduce mrs. Butler?

How do you do?

A pleasure
to meet you, ma'am.

And my sister
victoria.

Hello.

How do you do?

You could hardly be
expected to know,

But only the queen is addressed as ma'am.

Well, I'm not too used
to the customs here.

Many of which
are quite tiresome.

That would of course be a
matter of opinion, mrs. Butler.

Call me scarlett.

Excuse us.

Her name's scarlett,
apparently.

I don't know the family.

Pleasant.

It is
extremely tasty.

My son tells me

You're to be the new
mistress of ballyhara house,

Mrs. Butler.

Yes, I am, lady fenton,
and delighted to be.

I understand
you've restored it

To something approaching
its former splendor.

I don't know about that.

It's splendid
enough for me.

I expect
you're quite at home

In ireland, mrs. Butler,

In view of the fact

That you are
of irish extraction.

I love ireland, yes.

I'm afraid I can't share
your feelings about that.

It was ireland that k*lled
my husband, you see.

I don't believe I do.

Father was m*rder*d
by the irish.

Haven't you told her,
richard?

I don't know it could be rightly said

Ireland k*lled him,
lady fenton.

If my husband
had not concerned himself

With the welfare
of that rabble,

He would be alive today.

I should warn you,
mother,

That such characterizations
of the irish

Might cause some offense
to mrs. Butler.

I hardly think I need
warnings from you, richard.

As for my feelings,

One can share them or not, as one likes.

It cannot
be gainsaid,

They are a curious race, the irish.

Curious? How?

Why, in virtually
every aspect

Of their existence,
my dear lady.

Altogether, an almost primitive society.

If they
had their way,

They wouldn't
even speak english.

Maybe because that's
not their language.

And we're
forced to contend

With the fanatical
element amongst them.

I suppose
you'd mean the fenians.

Murderous
cutthroats.

My cousin was a fenian.

He was a priest.

He was most dear
to my heart.

The english m*rder*d him.

Really, scarlett, there
is absolutely no evidence

To substantiate that
allegation, now is there?

What an interesting name
you have, mrs. Butler,

If I may say so.

Scarlett.
So very unusual.

Quite unique.

Presumably one foresaw

There could only be
one scarlett o'hara.

May one inquire
how you came

To possess
your unusual name?

My pa.

It was my father's idea.

It's an irish
family name.

My grandmother's name
is katie scarlett.

The scarletts fought
with the irish volunteers

Alongside the o'haras

At the battle
of the boyne.

My father thought it'd
be an appropriate name

For a baby girl.

Why, how frightfully
clever.

I should say your father
had a quite...

Singular turn of mind.

Well,
we're a curious race.

You are a source of constant
astonishment, scarlett.

Why is that?

Surely you must realize

That never
in all my experience

Have I been served champagne
by a beautiful woman,

Or anyone else,
for that matter,

Whilst standing
in a kitchen.

Have a seat, then.

The kitchen's my favorite
room in the house.

When we were little,

My sisters and I spent much of the time

In the kitchen
at tara.

I'll bet you've never been in a kitchen.

I believe
you may be right.

Will we
be lingering long?

Probably not.
I'm sort of tired.

Then by all means...

You should retire
with all due haste.

I guess
I'll be sending you off

To your own bed first.

Oh?

Sometimes a lady
just isn't of a mind.

Of a mind?

Don't be offended,
richard.

I'm just not
in the mood.

I assure you...

I shall
provide mood enough

For both of us,
darling.

That hurts.

Come along, now.

Be your customary
inflammatory self.

I mean it, richard.

I'll see you
to the door.

I'm not accustomed to sudden
onsets of chastity, scarlett.

Chastity and I
parted company

A good long time
ago.

You're hurting me
again.

I think
I'll just let you

See yourself out,
lord fenton.

I say.

Mrs. O'hara, isn't it?

Hello.

John morland.

Dunsany,
county meath.

Of course. How delightful
to see you again, sir john.

The pleasure
is mine.

Are you in london
on a visit?

Just passing through,
yes.

This is mary boyle
from ballyhara.

She's stopping with me
on a visit, too.

With her baby.

How do you do,
mrs. Boyle?

A pleasure, sir.

I got a letter
from mr. Butler.

He seems pleased with the horse
he got at the drogheda fair.

Perhaps you're
in touch with him.

Actually, no.

Well, I must be
running along.

I'm sure you'll
enjoy the play.

They say it's charming.

I'm sure I will.

Mrs. Boyle.

Oh, never mind. Just
ignore the whole thing.

Good morning, alice.

Good morning, mum.

The post's come. I've brung it for you.

Will there be
anything else, mum?

No, thank you, alice.

Sally!

Oh, dear lord.

Rhett.

Is that all the faster
that horse of yours can run?

Do you have one
of those to spare?

Thought you
took the pledge.

That was just for anne.

Did you come here
to mock me and my horse,

Or got some
higher purpose?

I came by to see

If you've grown a beard, lots of hair,

Like a hermit, instead of acting like one.

I guess I haven't been
too sociable of late.

Well, the world's
still out there, honey.

Lots of life still going
on, despite your absence.

It'll keep.

Question is, will you?

How about giving me
a ride back to the house?

Only if you offer some spirituous
libation upon our arrival.

Come on!

Hyah!

You wrote scarlett.

How'd you know?

She wrote me. Letter
came a few days ago.

It was a nice letter.

I can't imagine her
writing any other kind.

Sounds as though
she's liking England.

I was in England
a short while back,

Right after the w*r.
I liked it.

Well, you
know what they say.

Remind me.

Travel
broadens the mind.

Did it broaden yours?

Well, there's those
who'd say not a bit.

Look here,
rhett butler,

I said it before,
there's a world out there.

It ain't flat,
and it don't end

At the dunmore landing
fence line.

Get yourself
away from here,

Where everywhere you look hollers
out what's not there anymore

And never will be.

If I were to go away,

Who'd you
have to holler at?

Don't you
worry about that.

I'd locate someone
else real quick.

Just close your eyes,
grit your teeth,

And jump the fence,
damn it.

Hell, it
ain't even high.

You must be joking.

Nope.

Not going to be keeping
company with me any longer?

Are you-

I've made up my mind.

Perhaps together, we
might be able to unmake it.

No, I feel real
definite about it.

I'm not accustomed to being
discarded like an old shoe, scarlett.

You've no cause
to feel like that.

I should decide what
I've cause to feel.

Don't make it
something it's not.

I don't want to
go on with it anymore.

I'm being a lady about it. Be a gentleman.

A lady? You?

How very amusing.

I'd appreciate it
if you'd leave now.

I'm asking you nicely.

I so much prefer your
not-so-nice aspect.

You've seen
the last of that.

You really think so?

I sure do.

Mightn't we at
the very least enjoy,

Maybe delight in,
an appropriate farewell?

That's what I'm making
right now. Goodbye, richard.

But you haven't delighted me yet, darling,

Nor I you.

Now you're
being coarse.

I don't recall you ever voicing
any complaints in that regard.

No more than did your
sweet, pretty irish colleen.

I'll start hollering
if you don't let go.

You aren't listening,
darling. Listen.

Perhaps the only thing worse
than being made a fool of,

Is discovering it to
be so, don't you agree?

I don't know
what you mean.

Of course you don't.
Shall I tell you?

It must surely be time
you knew what I meant.

You're scaring me now.
I want you to go.

I want you
to leave me alone.

Please, leave me alone.

All in good time.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Now, what was it
we were discussing?

Farewells. Ah, yes,
farewells.

You might ask mary boyle
how I bade her farewell.

Oh, so terribly
fond it was.

I might even say
memorably fond.

I'm confusing you, aren't
I, dearest scarlett?

Yes, of course I am.

I promised a moment ago
to enlighten you, didn't I?

A promise broken
is a promise owed.

The child she carries is
mine, you piteous fool.

Aah!

You filthy, disgusting,
son of a b*tch!

I could k*ll you as
soon as look at you!

If you ever come within
reaching distance of me again,

I'll k*ll you!

Get away!

Get away!

Get away from me!

As for your dearly
departed cousin,

The good father colum,

The poor chap
would be alive today

Had he not the fatal temerity
to meddle in my affairs.

What?
What about colum?

Why, the silly fellow

Threatened to expose my liaison
with dearest mary to you.

I couldn't have that, now,
could I? Certainly not.

What choice did I have?

Please, don't say
you k*lled colum.

If you like.
Mum's the word, then.

Aah!

Aah! No! No!

Aah!

No! Aah!

Aah!

No!

If you don't get
out of this house,

I'll call the police.

Ha ha. Fancy the consequences
of that for you, my darling.

I guess there's worse by way
of consequences in this life.

Get out.

Get out! Get out!

Get out!

Aah!

No!

Aah!

No!

Help me!

Help me!

And you
only learned

The truth of
this girl's child

On the night of lord fenton's death.

Yes, that very night.

You hadn't the slightest
suspicion before that time?

None. Mary will tell you
if you can find her.

What I want to know
is if you can find her.


It's only fair
to tell you

That in a city
as vast as london

Or any other,
for that matter,

It will be
almost impossible.

We can only hope that she'll come
forward and make herself known.

Even if she did, she wouldn't
necessarily confess, would she?

Assuming that there's anything
that she might confess.


Now, look here,
mr. Randolph...

I'm not accusing
mary of anything.

And the last thing
I want to think

Is that she m*rder*d
someone.

But it's real hard not to draw conclusions

From the way
things are-

I'm arrested,
and mary disappears.

That's fair speculation.

When you learned
that lord fenton

Was the father
of this girl's child,

How did you feel
about that?

I could've chewed nails
is what I felt.

What woman wouldn't
have felt that way?

There's women would've
shot him on the spot!

Lord fenton m*rder!

Front story!

Get your paper here!

Lord fenton gruesome m*rder trial!

All the details!

Thank you.

Good morning.

Lord fenton's
grisly m*rder!

All the details
in the paper!

Is there anything
I can get you, honey?

Rhett says you haven't
eaten anything in two days.

They're probably cooking up
my last meal right this minute.

Don't talk like that.

I ought to have known better
than to come to England.

I guess that's a whole pitcher
of spilled milk, isn't it?

¶ I wish I was
in dixie ¶

¶ hooray, hooray ¶

¶ in dixie- ¶

Fenton m*rder!

Read all...

Scarlett...
Is there anything...

Come back to you
a-about that night?

No.

What's it matter, anyhow?

You think
they'll believe me

And call
the whole thing off?

Where do they have it,
do you think?

Have what?

The gallows.

I've never seen
a gallows. Have you?

Is it outside?

Have you seen it?

No. And you're
never gonna, either.

Oh, sally, I'm scared.

I'm so scared.

Hush.

Ohhh...

Hush.

Be upstanding in court!

Put up scarlett
o'hara butler.

The jurors for
our lady the queen

Present that you, scarlett o'hara butler,

On the 10th day
of November

In the year
of our lord 1876

Did feloniously,
willfully,

And of your malice
aforethought

k*ll and m*rder one richard,
lord fenton of albemarle.

How say you,

Are you guilty
or not guilty?

Not guilty.

Now...During
your observation

Of the body
of lord fenton,

Did you determine
for yourself

Any probable cause of death,
inspector wilcox?

I observed three wounds

I reckoned was caused
by a sharp instrument

To the chest of the deceased

In the general area
of the heart

Sufficient to cause death,
I'd say fairly quick.

Was there any evidence

Of this sharp instrument
in the room?

It was lying
right next to the bed.

No question it was the
weapon that done the deed.

Why not?

It was covered with blood.

Are you going to have
scarlett testify, john?

I haven't yet made
that decision.

Shouldn't she have a chance
to tell her side of the story?

Yes, but then she'll be
questioned by the prosecution,

A not altogether felicitous
prospect, should scarlett-

Good lord!

What is it?

It's the girl!

The-the boyle girl.

Miss boyle!

Miss boyle! Stop! Here!

Mary! Stop!

Miss boyle!

Hey! Watch out!

Oh!

Mary!

Mary, wait!

Mary!

It's all right!

No!

It's all right. I just want to talk to you.

Calm down. No one's
going to hurt you.

My name's rhett butler.
I was married to scarlett.

You're lying! Mr. Butler's
dead! Everybody knows it!

I may be somewhat tuckered,
honey, but I ain't dead yet.

Mrs. Butler's a widow!
You're lying!

I need your help. Scarlett needs your help.

She needs it real bad.

There's no help
I can be to her!

Why'd you run away from
scarlett's house, mary?

Now, why'd you do that?

You know scarlett's on trial
for k*lling lord fenton?

Do you believe
she's capable of that?

I don't believe so. We
know someone else did it.

We just don't know who.

But unless that person
makes it known,

There's a good chance scarlett's
going to be convicted of this crime.

She could hang.

Where are you taking me?

To see scarlett.

No.

No!

Stop!
Whoa!

Mary!

Mary!

Mary, don't!

Aah!

Is she alive?

Just. I understand
you're the gentleman

She has to thank
for it.

I need to talk
to her.

She's not conscious yet.
Are you a relative?

No, a friend. It's real
important I speak to her.

Can you give her
something to revive her?

She has had rather a drubbing, you know?

You might pop around
tomorrow.

Can you give us
her name?

It's boyle. Mary boyle.

How soon can I speak
to her?

Drop by tomorrow.

I'd get home and out of those
wet clothes, if I were you,

Before you require some
hospital treatment as well.

Good night.

I think
it might be best

Not to mention this
episode to scarlett yet.

Let's not get her hopes
up prematurely.

It may come to nothing.

Cheer up, old boy.

We're not throwing in
the towel quite yet.

Did there come a time,
mrs. Boswell,

When you began
to believe

That the prisoner's
relationship with lord fenton

Was, uh, other than
merely platonic?

Other than what?

Did you come to believe

That their association
was of an intimate nature?

Oh, yes, I did that.

Can you tell us why?

After I seen him
coming out of her bedroom

In the dead of night,

Though he didn't know
I seen him.

On how many occasions did you
observe such a circumstance?

That circumstance
was just the once.

But I know there was
numerous others.

No further questions,
milord.

No questions,
milord.

You may step down.

Call your next witness, mr. Whitlock.

Call mr. Rhett butler.

Call mr. Rhett butler!

So.

Now, your former wife

Never told you that she
was carrying your child

And that she ultimately
gave birth to this child.

No.

Why did she
not inform you

Of so momentous an event
in a man's life?

She was angry with me.

For what reason?

I decided it was time
we parted company.

She sure didn't agree.

So she denied you
knowledge

Of the very existence
of your only child

Because
you had left her?

Looks that way.

Mr. Butler...

Wouldn't you call that

A rather extreme
and irrational response

For a woman-a wife-
to have

As a result
of a fit of pique?

I do think this calls
for a judgment

Which the witness is in
no way qualified to render.

Quite right.

Mr. Butler,

Is it true
that the prisoner

Consistently and over
a considerable period of time

Represented to all
and sundry

That you were deceased
and that she was a widow?

Yes.

She lied?

yes.

Well, in order
to dispel any, uh,

Shall we say,
curiosity

In the minds of anyone here present today,

Is there any question whatsoever
in your mind, mr. Butler,

That you are indeed the
father of mrs. Butler's child?

None whatsoever, sir.

Uhh...

Ah, here she is,
back with us.

Good evening.

Where am I, then?

In bruton hospital,
my dear.

Not where you intended,
thank god.

Oh, dear jesus.

I've not died?

No. It's quite
a miracle, in fact...

Assuming you deliberately took a header

Into the thames.

You did, didn't you,
you naughty girl?

Am I bad hurt?

Remarkably little,
in fact.

But...

I'm sorry to have
to tell you

It was impossible
to save your baby.

Oh. The baby's gone?

I'm afraid so.

Oh, mother of mercy,
be praised.

I don't see why they had
to put you up there, anyhow.

I was fit to be tied

When john told me they
were going to do that.

What better witness to reflect
on your character, scarlett?

Meaning
my bad character?

They're trying
to hang you.

And all's fair in love and hanging, huh?

Do you think I've got
a bad character?

I think you've got
a bad habit

Of making decisions
today

Without thinking about what
they might bring about tomorrow.

The only thing
that keeps me going

Is knowing that
if worse comes to worse,

Our baby will have you
to take care of her.

I got something
to tell you, scarlett.

It's about mary boyle.

What about her?

Hello, mary.

They tell me you're making
an amazing recovery.

I was glad to hear it.

I was doing a lot
of beating about the bush

The other night 'cause
I didn't want to scare you...

But you know what I was
getting at, don't you?

All things considered, there ain't
a lot of doubt in anybody's mind

About who did in
this lowdown fenton fella.

In fact, I'd say
there's no doubt at all.

Question is, what are you
going to do about it?

What are you going
to do about it, mary?


Things are looking
real bad for scarlett.

Folks around here are just
itching to string her up.

She's gonna be hung for
something she didn't do.

I find it hard to believe
that any decent person...

A decent, god-fearing
girl like you

Could just...

Stand by and
let that happen.

From what scarlett
tells me about you,

I find that
real hard to believe.

Damn.

Lady victoria, did your
brother ever have occasion

To discuss with you his
association with the prisoner?

Yes.

On one of these occasions,
did he make mention

Of an incident
in her past

Which she'd
revealed to him?

Yes.

Hmm. Could you tell us, please,
the nature of that incident?

I object, milord. This evidence is hearsay.

She m*rder*d a man.
She shot him.

I had to defend myself against
his unspeakable intentions!

It wasn't a m*rder! She's
twisting it all around!

Silence!

Silence!
Silence in court!

Gone?

What do you mean,
gone?

No one was at fault.

I assure you, there was
no reason whatsoever

To suppose
that the girl would-

Gone?

And then we began
to hear the shouting,

Mostly mrs. Butler's.

You couldn't
help but hear

They were having a most dreadful row.

She hurried
up the stairs.

Lord fenton had come
out of the drawing room.

Did she speak to him
at that time?

She stopped and
shouted at him.

Well, what did she shout,
if you remember?

I...Couldn't forget.

She said, "if ever you come
near me again, I'll k*ll you.

I swear I will."

Those were her words.

Now, when you reached
the open bedroom door,

What did you observe,
mr. Roberts?

Mrs. Butler was
standing by the bed,

At-at the bedside, and
lord fenton was on the bed.

There was blood
all over him.

Was there
anything else

Which you were able to
observe, mr. Roberts?

Yes, sir. I saw the knife
covered in blood.

I swear
by almighty god

That the evidence
given by me

To this court
shall be the truth,

The whole truth, and nothing but the truth,

So help me god.

In view of testimony
heard earlier, mrs. Butler,

Did you, in fact, reveal to
lord fenton that you had once

Shot and k*lled
a man-

An enemy soldier?

I told lord fenton that
in confidence.

I didn't expect him to talk
to anybody else about it.

What were
the circumstances

Of that unfortunate
incident?

He was gonna as*ault me.

as*ault you?
In what manner?

In the worst manner
a woman can be assaulted.

What was your response

To lord fenton's refusal
to leave your house

Following his atrocious
as*ault on your person?

I was extremely angry.

Angry enough
to retaliate?

I retaliated as best I
could. I hit him, as I said.

Angry enough
to k*ll him?

No. No.

Mrs. Butler...

Despite your lapse of
memory on that evening

To which
you have testified,

Do you believe
yourself capable

Of having m*rder*d
lord fenton?

No. I swear
on my mother's grave

I'm not capable
of having done that.

At which point you say
you fired the p*stol

At this enemy soldier,
causing his death.

Yes.

Were there
any witnesses

To this violent episode, mrs. Butler?

No, I don't think so.

Actually, I don't recall.

Ah, you don't recall.

It was a long time ago.

To be sure.

I suggest that the evening
of lord fenton's death

Is not remotely
so distant in time,

And yet you claim
a failure of memory

On that occasion as well,

Uh, between the moment

When you were allegedly
struck by lord fenton

And the moment you allegedly
discovered him to be dead.

That was different.
I hit my head when I fell.

I already said that.

Ah, so you did.

Uh, tell me,
uh, mrs. Butler,

Are these, uh,
lapses in memory

Habitual episodes to
which you are susceptible?

Not as far as I know.

I take it
you're uncertain.

No, I'm not uncertain.

I suggest the statement

"not as far as I know"

Suggests a degree of
uncertainty, mrs. Butler.

You're just trying
to twist me up.

I can't explain
what I mean.

Much as you are
unable to explain

The death of lord fenton in
your bedchamber, mrs. Butler.

If you forget something, how
can you know you forgot it?

And by
that very admission,

How can you dare claim with
any certainty whatsoever

That while in this state
of- what shall we call it-

Uh, convenient amnesia,
you did not commit the crime

Of which
you are accused?

I know it in my heart.

Alas, mrs. Butler, we are
none of us here qualified

To, uh, evaluate the
reliability of your heart...

And most certainly not the
innocence you claim for it.

You have already confessed
here in this court

Openly to m*rder.

The yankee was
gonna r*pe me!

I had to protect myself!

There were plenty of women in those
days didn't protect themselves,

And they paid the
consequences. They paid dearly.

What I did then has nothing to do with now.

I did threaten
lord fenton, yes.

But I didn't do
what I threatened.

He did commit
his vile as*ault on me.

He r*ped me...And
all I did was hit him,

And he struck me,
and the next thing I remember

Was waking up and
finding him dead,

But I'm not the one
who k*lled him!

I suggest... That it was
your hand and no other

Which took up a knife
on that tragic night

And struck not once
but thrice

Into the heart of richard,
lord fenton of albemarle!

I didn't!

I didn't, I didn't!

I didn't!

You haven't had the slightest
recollection, scarlett?

No. I'm trying
to remember.

I've been trying,
but I can't!

I can't remember
what happened!

It's all right.
Calm yourself.

You don't really
believe me, do you?

You don't think
I'm innocent.

You want me to remember
I did it, don't you?

Certainly not.

Well, I can't! I can't
remember what happened!

Have you agreed upon a verdict, gentlemen?

We have.

Do you find the prisoner
guilty or not guilty

Of the m*rder of lord fenton of albemarle?

Guilty.

Scarlett o'hara
butler,

You have been found
guilty of willful m*rder.

Have you
anything to say

Why the court should not
pronounce sentence upon you?

I'm not guilty!

I didn't do it!
I'm innocent!

I swear I am!

Prisoner
at the bar...

The jury
has convicted you

Of the dreadful crime
laid to your charge.

The sentence
of the law is

That you be
taken from hence

To the place
from whence you came

And from there to
a place of execution

And there you be hanged by
the neck until you are dead.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

No!

She's not the one
done it!

She's not the one!

I believe I must've
gone mad for a bit.

It just come on me
all of a sudden like.

Aah!

I done it for all the evil
that was in him.

I done it
for all the evil.

I want to thank you
again, mary,

For coming out with it.

In the end,
I couldn't do other.

Will they hang me,
do you think?

We'll try to stop that
from happening, honey.

You'll have the best
lawyers in town.

Sir john's going
to stand for you.

I have no money to pay.

Don't worry about that.

And I'll be back
to testify for you.

You're leaving
this terrible city, then?

I don't blame you.

Are you going back
to ireland?

Back to ireland, yes.

And my husband's
coming with me.

It's time I made the
acquaintance of my daughter.

Whoa.

Welcome to ballyhara.

What do you think?

I'd say your tastes have
improved considerably, scarlett.

You might be surprised at
some of my improvements.

Come and meet
your daughter.

She'll be sleeping.

She's even more beautiful
asleep than she is awake,

And that's
saying something.

Mama.

Say hello to
your daddy, darlin'.

I don't have a daddy.

Well, you do now.

Here's mud in your eye,
scarlett.

Coming from you, I'm not
altogether sure how to take that.

Say something
less suspicious.

To our daughter...

The most...

Beautiful little girl
in the world.

Here's hoping she has
her mother's brass

And her father's brains.

That's a lot better.

You've been
more decent to me

Than I had any right
to expect, rhett.

I hope you know
I'm fully aware of that.

I wouldn't
have blamed you

If you'd never
spoken to me again

After you found out
about cat.

I considered it.

We've got to figure out
what to do now, don't we?

Yes.

About our daughter.

Yes.

What'll we do?

I don't know about you,
scarlett,

But I'm going
to get me some sleep.

Could I trouble you
to point me to a bedroom?

Uh-uh, scarlett.
Not a chance.

It's not what
you're thinking.

You're being
a donkey's hind end.

See what I mean?

Now, what in god's name
is that?

I'd say it's the world's
biggest bed, I guess.

You wouldn't know a little bitty
thing like me was even in it.

You'd have to holler
to even talk to me,

Which I have utterly no
expectation of you doing.

I promise to be good.

You asleep?

No.

You going to sleep?

Yes.

Night.

Good night.

How are you liking
ireland so far, sir?

You just call me rhett.

It's a fine country,
bridie.

It is bridie,
isn't it?

It is. There's loads of
us to know, isn't there?

But you'll
sort it out in time.

What a fortunate man
you are, sir,

To have an angel
for a daughter

And a saint for
a wife.

You could've knocked me down
with a feather

When we heard the news
of mary boyle.

'tis a tragedy. None to
blame but herself, however.

True enough.

Scarlett was saying
she and himself

Would go over to England

To give the girl whatever
assistance they can.

Bless her heart.

Ain't he criminal
handsome, though?

He is that.

Looks to be plenty life
left in him yet.

I suppose scarlett will
know best about that.

"save you, o'donald,

"said the wise gray
beggarman.

"and you, likewise,
said o'donald.


"a wind's coming,
and what is your craft?


"I come from the outermost
shores of the earth


"from the glens where
the white swans glide


"at night and I lay...

"at night and then...

And at night on
a cold, cold hillside."


What are we going
to do, rhett...

About you and me?

About her?

About you and me
and her?

She ought to have
both of us.

That's generally
the best way.

The only way it'd be
is if you could ever...

Ever what?

Love me again.

Pass the cream.

What makes you think
I ever stopped?

How about you divorcing me
and marrying somebody else?

That might've
put the idea in my mind.

It was never a question for
me of loving you, scarlett.

It was a question of
living with loving you.

Maybe I could
make that part easier.

I'd sure like to try.

How about you?

Would you like to try,
maybe?

Maybe, if we took it
real slow and easy.

Don't go doing me any
big favors, rhett butler.

You may think you're god's gift to women,

But I'm not exactly
over the hill yet.

Plenty of men-

You once said

Heaven help the man
who really loves me.

Do you remember?

Heaven help me.

Well?

Lord, how I've missed you.

You tell me the truth.

You really love me
with your whole heart,

Or did you want me because
you couldn't have me?

Why, rhett butler!
What a nasty thing to say.

I do love you...

With all my heart...

And I will forever.

I'd say we've been real
nice to each other lately.

Wouldn't you say so?

I'd agree. It's a
downright pleasure to agree.

You've changed,
scarlett.

You think so?

Mm-hmm.
You've grown up.

I'll have to get to
know you all over again.

That might not be an altogether
unpleasant experience.

I have no doubt
you'll make it interesting.

Better than interesting.

I'll do better this time,
I promise.

You'll probably
wear me out.

I'm sure you'll manage
just fine.

Hmm.

What're we going to do
about our little difficulty?

Which one?

The geography one.

You in charleston,
me in ireland.

You have any thoughts
about that?

Only one that
makes any sense.

I'm listening.

Compromise.

In my experience,

Every time somebody suggests
what they call a compromise,

It generally turns out to
be something favoring them.

Not this time.

All right,
let's hear it.

I'll give up
charleston

If you'll
give up ireland.

For where else?

We belong together,
scarlett.

The world
is where we belong.

All of it.
We can go anywhere.

As long as
we're together,

The world
will belong to us.

That's a lot of property.

Ha ha ha ha!
