North Carolina offers wealth and prosperity
for those willing to persevere.
10,000 acres of his majesty's land at your disposal.
- You'll marry me? - Yes.
How much money do you want for it?
Well, perhaps you could earn it.
Get off me!
I have no choice but to live with what you've done to me.
While you rot in the ground,
I will raise my child to be nothing like you.
Brianna was attacked.
Knowing it might be Bonnet's child that she bears,
can you go back to her?
You're here.
I love you.
The corruption of the governor's sheriffs
and tax collectors must end.
Your first mission is to hunt down and kill the fugitive...
Murtagh Fitzgibbons.
She's gone.
I swore an oath Jamie Fraser,
when you were no more than a week old
and only a lad at your mother's breast.
I knelt at Ellen's feet,
as I now kneel by yours,
and I swore to her
by the name of the threefold God that...
I'd follow you always to do your bidding
and guard yer back when you became a man grown
and was needing such service.
She's gone now.
But I'll always be with you.
Always.
Careful, or ye'll lose yer head.
Here.
It's not called a cutthroat razor for nothin'.
We canna have ye lookin' like ye've been
to the war and back, not today anyway.
All right.
Here.
Heh. Nervous?
About what, the day ye has in store for me,
or that you have a blade to my throat?
Heh.
But for you, a day off from...
working on the house, at least?
Yeah, first in a wee while.
But we have a floor under our feet now and a...
a roof above our heads.
Couldna have done it wi'out the help of some of the men.
Bree and I cannot thank you enough
for the gift of this cabin.
Couldna have my wee grandson sleeping in the woods now, could we?
I was thinking of adding a loft.
Bree said she'd draw up some... plans for me to follow. And...
So...
Yeah.
Have ye the right tools?
Well, they say it's a bad tradesman
who blames his tools for his lack of... skills.
Oh.
No, I don't suppose I've done much building,
or farming, for that matter.
Nor do I know how to drive a horse
or gut a deer or wield a sword, but, uh...
But I'm sure I'll find a suitable trade to provide for my family.
And until that time, ye'll have to rely
on the skills and trades of others.
Here.
The ring ye asked Murtagh to make for Bree.
Thank you. Oh, I thought perhaps...
I only expected copper and brass.
Well...
this one is certainly fit for my daughter.
Hmm?
Home is the place, a site on which we live,
but Fraser's Ridge is much more than that,
a community built by the people who live there.
Once Jamie and I had chosen a spot for a new home,
with the help of the settlers, construction began.
Men and women who made us feel at home
before the walls of our new house had even gone up,
who stood by us as the seasons came and went,
who looked forward to reaping the first harvest with us
and to sharing in our daughter's wedding,
even if we hadn't quite finished the house in time.
We were making our mark on the land,
laying our foundations for the rest of our lives.
That's not quite the white satin
and orange blossom I imagined.
Hmm.
No.
It's even more beautiful.
Now, I didn't have my mother
at either of my weddings.
I've dreamt of this day for so long.
Helping you into your dress.
Doing your hair.
Mama, I'm here with you
and with the man I love.
It couldn't be more perfect.
Right.
I better go see where your father's gone to.
It's almost time.
My baby.
Old.
Ha.
New.
Ha. Borrowed.
And blue, huh.
Yeah, blue enough. Huh.
Jamie?
In here.
Wait till you see her.
You've been busy.
I must do what I can for her, while I have the chance.
We've no' had enough time together.
It was going to happen one day.
And we're giving her away to a man who loves her.
Oh.
What?
You doubt his love?
Did he no' doubt it himself?
Well, he's here now, and he loves her.
Hmm. Mebbe that's what I fear.
I ken what love can make a man do.
Gives ye courage,
but not the sense to go along wi' it.
And no good love'll do either of them if he gets himself killed.
He's a scholar.
I'm not sure his area of expertise
covers the dangers of the Carolina wilderness.
Hmm.
S'pose no amount of time will prepare him.
Perhaps not.
But he has you to teach him.
Hmm.
It's time?
You remembered.
Something old, something new,
something borrowed,
something blue,
and a silver sixpence...
For your shoe.
From Murtagh.
I am sorry he can't be here today.
As is he.
I, uh, I'm glad you brought these back with ye.
Hoped that maybe you would wear them one day.
Bonnie.
I, uh, dinna imagine it's...
quite the wedding ye maybe dreamt of when you were a wee lass.
Hmm, not quite.
But, the best thing,
I don't have to imagine you.
It is a blessing you came to me.
But having just gotten ye back,
must I give ye away so soon?
Dad.
No matter where I am,
I will always be your wee girl.
You ready, a leannan?
Je suis prest.
You look radiant.
The Frasers of the Ridge are here!
It'll all be fine.
Remember, the two of you together
can conquer the world.
You... just...
I love you too.
Dearly beloved, we are assembled here today
in the presence of God.
Let us therefore reverently remember
that God has established and sanctified marriage
for the welfare and happiness of mankind.
I charge you both before God
that if either of you know of any reason
