Outlander

Previously...

- Built your house for ya. - I'm so overwhelmed.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't selfish in this,

as I have your first two patients.

Is it really you? Darling...

We came home.

Captain Charles Cunningham.

You fought for the King?

I laid down my sword for good.

You are all undoubtedly going to Hell.

I think, perhaps, that witch was Mrs. Cunningham.

I will remain in America with Mercy.

We wish to be wed.

Henry, marriages of this sort are illegal.

Ben is dead. He was taken prisoner when out with a raiding party.

A young lady appeared on my doorstep with her baby,

claiming she was Benjamin's widow.

Soul of a Rebel by Franklin W. Randall.

What does it say?

That war is coming, and that James Fraser dies in it.

Oh, my word!

Ben.

Let me see the letter.

- It becomes you. - Yes, I know.

- Where is it you'll be sent? - Boston.

I'm to report to General Howe's detachment as soon as we set foot in America.

- Where... - There.

A General Rolàn.

- I can't believe you still have him. - Of course, I do.

You gave him to me when I first came to this house.

You made me feel a part of this family.

Since he was always my best fighter,

I want you to take him with you for good fortune.

As you know, he hasn't ever lost a battle.

I promise, I shall keep him right here with me.

For as long as I wear this uniform.

I know he'll guard me well, cousin.

You mean, any time I take a drink of water,

I'm swallowing all of that?

Yes, but don't worry.

Most of what you're looking at is perfectly harmless,

and it'll be dissolved by your stomach acid.

But there are plenty of nasty things in water.

Acid? In my stomach?

Wouldn't that just eat right through things?

That's how your food is digested.

But your stomach walls are very thick, and they're covered in mucus.

- So... - My stomach is full of snot?

You'll find mucus in most of the inside of your body.

You have these things called mucous membranes,

and they secrete mucus

whenever your body needs help with a little bit of slipperiness.

Is that what women have between their legs...

Yes.

When you're pregnant, you need that slipperiness to help the baby come out.

So, all these things are here all the time, but we can't see them?

That's right.

I wish Janie was here.

She would have loved this.

Whenever she would hear of a curiosity, she'd tell me about it.

Mrs. Abbott, the madam, didn't like such talk and forbade it.

She thought Jane was strange

and accused her of practicing the dark arts.

The men seemed to like her strangeness.

Especially the soldiers.

Come here.

Let me tell you something.

Fanny...

I know you've seen some terrible things.

I have, too.

So, you can say anything to me.

I won't be shocked.

All of the family, Mr. Fraser,

Mr. and Mrs. MacKenzie,

you can tell them anything at any time.

But...

some of the people on the Ridge,

they won't have had the same experiences as you and I.

And, well, they might be shocked

if you told them very much about how you used to live.

They've never met whores?

I think some of the men must have.

I'm sure you're right.

We wouldn't want anyone to make any assumptions about you,

or think that they have the right to do things to you that they do not.

Does that mean I shouldn't talk about Jane either?

No.

No.

You can talk about your sister whenever you like.

She wanted to protect you from that life,

and she tried to keep you safe.

And now,

we will keep you safe.

Always.

Go on.

Look at the rest of the slides.

- Dougal's son? - William Buccleigh MacKenzie.

We called him Buck.

Aye, he stayed in 1739.

We asked him to come with us, but I couldn't convince him.

'Twas good of you to forgive him.

A man that had you hanged.

I'm not sure I could have done the same.

He's a good man.

Sometimes, good men do things thinking them right,

only to realize later that they were mistaken.

Shouldn't we forgive that?

And his family...

I love him for that alone.

I was wondering if you could advise me on something.

I'd be happy to.

Yeah.

Reading Frank's book.

He says a battle is coming to the backcountry.

The Patriots will win

'cause the Overmountain men call upon each other.

John Sevier,

Benjamin Cleveland,

and Isaac Shelby.

Do you ken any of these names? From history, I mean.

No.

I've never heard of any of those names before.

But then again, the Revolutionary War in North Carolina

wasn't my academic specialty.

He says I fight alongside them.

But I dinna ken any of those men.

Are you sure it's you?

There are a good many men named James Fraser in Scotland,

and I'm sure there are plenty here, too.

Aye. But if it is me, then...

Frank kent who I was.

Didn't have any reason to love me.

Do you want me to read it?

- Maybe. -

Once I'm finished.

Mr. Fraser. Well met.

Captain Cunningham.

I received word you wished to see me.

I stopped by your house and your wife mentioned I'd find you here.

Thanks for coming. You...

You already ken my son-in-law, Roger MacKenzie.

Yes. We spoke a few days ago.

I'm pleased to see you again, Mr. MacKenzie.

Likewise.

Roger tells me that, perhaps, we met on the level.

And we parted on the square.

- You are a Freemason. - Yes.

Though it's been years since I've had a lodge.

For us as well, but we mean to change that.

I'm organizing a meeting to be held on the Ridge every fortnight.

I'd be honored if you'd join us.

I'd be more than pleased to attend.

Good.

Do you have another axe? I'll lend a hand.

We are gathered together in the sight of God,

to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.

And while the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

means to impede such a union,

the unjust laws of men are no match for the omnipotence of God.

Amen.

Amen.

As I look at the faces in this room,

I am grateful for each of you who came to bear witness to our union.

Your steadfastness gives me hope.

Hope that those who are absent today will, in time, open their hearts to us.

And hope that, through hard work,

we will see Mr. Brian's bill pass the assembly

and end the ban on marriages such as ours.

Hear, hear.

Hear, hear.

As the only member of the Grey family in attendance,

I want to apologize to you, Mercy.

We are a stubborn lot.

We have ideas about what is right and what is wrong,

and we stand by them, come what may.

Henry is no different.

He fell in love with you.

He knew that to be right

and he stubbornly would brook no opposition.

- - Titles and expectations be damned.

For that, I could not be more proud of him.

Henry,

I wish you every happiness.

To the bride and groom.

To the bride and groom.

If you'll excuse me. Thank you.

Thank you, cousin. That was a wonderful speech.

Come with me a moment.

What's wrong?

Whatever do you mean?

Something's troubling you.

It's nothing.

I know when you're keeping something from me.

We can talk tomorrow.

Today is for celebration.

Not until you tell me what's bothering you.

It's your brother.

Ben?

And what of him?

He was taken prisoner by the Continentals
