Directed by: Jennifer Getzinger Written by: Anne Kenney First aired on September 17, 2017 Scotland, 1752 Fergus (Romann Berrux), Rabbie MacNab (Stuart Campbell), and Young Jamie (Rhys Lambert) are heading away from the main house at Lallybroch. Fergus asks Rabbie, "You're sure it's in the dovecote?" "Aye. I saw it with my own eyes. Followed him here as he was hiding it. Put it in one of the nests." Young Jamie asks, "What if father catches us?" Rabbie answers, "He won't. He's round the back milkin'. Now shut yer gab." Rabbie assures them, "It's here. I swear." Fergus is not so sure, "I swear, you're lyin'." Rabbie finds what they're looking for, a pistol. "Ha. Told ye." Young Jamie tries to assert his place, "It's my father's, so I get to hold it." Fergus counters, "No, you're too young, and you don't know how it works." Young Jamie pushes back, "You don't either." Fergus is clearly more knowledgeable. "Hey, I've been to war. I was at Prestonpans. I killed a filthy redcoat officer." Rabbie clarifies, "But ye killed him with a knife, aye? And it was bloody." Fergus confirms, "Aye, bloody. It's much braver to kill a man with a knife. Nothing but flesh and metal between you. I only wish milord didn't send me home. I could've fought at Culloden too." Theres the sound of hoofbeats outside and they peak out the door to see what's up. Fergus whispers, "Redcoats." and they scramble back inside to hide the gun. Rabbie warms them all to "Hide." Corporal MacGregor (Ryan Fletcher) and Private Jenkins (Will Richards) are almost dragging Ian (Steven Cree) down the front steps at Lallybroch. Corporal MacGregor is impatient and says, "Move, cripple." Young Jamie runs to Ian, "Father!" Ian says, "It's okay, Jamie. Treat me as you will, but leave the lad be." Nasty Corporal MacGregor quips, "If you trained your mongrels better, I wouldna need to kick them to keep them in line." Private Jenkins keeps prodding Ian, "Keep moving!" Captain Lewis (Rufus Wright) introduces himself and states his objective. "I'm Captain Samuel Lewis, of His Majesty's Tenth Dragoons. I'm here for the Dunbonnet." Ian asks quizically, "The Dunbonnet? Uh, no one here goes by that name." Captain Lewis doesn't buy it. "I should think not, openly. I have it on good authority that the notorious traitor known as Red Jamie is in concealment nearabouts, and there's gossip in these parts about another man called the Dunbonnet." Ian says calmly, "We dinna get to the village much. I canna say I've heard that." Captain Lewis has put two and two together, "I surmise that the Dunbonnet and Red Jamie are one and the same." Ian looks amused, "Ye tell a braw tale there, Captain." "James Fraser is your brother-in-law, is he not? And this is his clan land?" "Oh, it was. These lands belong to my son now." Jenny (Laura Donnelly) states, "We've not seen nor heard from Jamie Fraser since he left to fight in the Rebellion six years ago." Captain Lewis isn't buying their innocent act and warns them of the consequences. "Pardon me, sir, if I don't take you or your wife's word for it. I remind you that anyone who harbors or renders aid to a Jacobite fugitive commits high treason and will be hanged under law. Man, woman or child." Jenny is still quite calm and not affected by his threats. She's been through this before. "Ye're welcome to search the house and the grounds if you please, but I'll tell you the same as I told Lieutenant Harding, Captain Abbot, Major Mercer, and every other government officer who comes to command these parts, ye'll find no sign of my traitorous brother here." Ian adds, "Nor any follower of the Stuarts." Captain Lewis tries another tactic, "There is a substantial reward for information leading to the capture of Red Jamie, so if you know of his whereabouts, you would be wise to turn him over now." Ian states the obvious, "W-w-we canna give you what we dinna have, Captain." Captain Lewis has another plan. "Very well. Corporal MacGregor, arrest Mr. Murray. Perhaps some time in the garrison's cells will help him change his mind." Fergus' feathers are ruffled addressing Corporal MacGregor. "A Scot in a redcoat. You're the traitor." "You filthy frog-eater. Mind yer tongue or I'll cut it out." As they're leading Ian away he directs the boys, "Fergus, Rabbie, finish milkin' and mind your chores." Mary MacNab (Emma Campbell-Jones) reassures Jenny, "He'll be fine, Mistress. Court's released him each time they've seen fit to take him. There's no reason to think this time's any different." Jenny is sad to see Scots in league with the British. "That's a damnable shame. Corporal MacGregor." Mary MacNab adds, "Aye, a Lowlander. Many a MacGregor fought for the Jacobites, but a few fought for the government during the '45." "And now they think they're better than us, but what the daft loons don't realize is, the British hate them just the same." As the Redcoats leave, we can see someone hiding in the trees watching them. Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), looking pretty scruffy with a big beard and long scraggly hair, comes up to the house carrying a dead deer. He sees a woman picking Lavender and imagines it's Claire. She turns around and it's actually his sister Jenny. "Ye ye scairt the bowels out of me. They've taken Ian again. I foolishly hoped they were through when two years passed with no redcoats bedeviling us." Fergus has an idea: "We could go after them, milord. We could slit their throats in the night and free Monsieur Murray." Jenny is a little more sensible. "Oh, aye. That's a fine idea. A deed like that would bring the whole garrison to Lallybroch to kill us all, yerself included.I reckon every new commander needs to make a name for himself. Captain Lewis was talking about the 'Dunbonnet.' That's what they've taken to calling ye now. Soon enough you'll have ballads sung in yer honor. 'Tis time to tally the rents. Ian was just about to start on the books. Dinna suppose you could do that for me. Brother ... Brother! You ken why I can lie to the British and feel at peace? It's because I'm not lyin'. James Fraser hasna been here for a long, long time." Boston, 1949 Claire (Caitriona Balfe) is caring for her baby, "Here you go. Ooh, whee. There you go. Now, here's Bunny. Okay." She sits down to look at the paper, "Shall we see what 'The Globe' has to say today? Ireland Joins the Roster of Free Nations. To the roar of guns and the flash of fireworks in the sky, The Republic of Ireland was born today. Oh, shh, sweetheart. This is history in the making. You'll want to hear this. 'The Republic, free of British rule, have to' Aww, you turned over! Oh, all by yourself. Oh, you turned..." Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies) walks up dripping water and his loins wrapped in a towel. "Hot water cut out in the middle of my shower. The boiler must be out again." Claire coos to the baby, "What a clever girl you are." Frank's interested, "Why? What happened?" "She turned over, all by herself." Frank's amazed, "Oh, isn't it early for her to be doing that?" Claire is too. "Well, Dr. Spock says she shouldn't be doing it for at least another month." "Well, what does Dr. Spock know? - Come here, come to Daddy. Give me a kiss. Oh, you're so clever." Claire agrees and puts her hand on his shoulder. "Yeah." There's tension and awkwardness between them. "Aww. Oh, well - Yeah, I should, uh, go check the boiler." "Mm." Fergus approaches Jamie's cave entrance with Jamie peeking out. "I was careful. Wasn't followed. Cut back on myself, just like you taught me. I want to learn to shoot, milord." Jamie is very quiet and reserved, "Where'd you get this?" "It was hidden in the dovecote. I want to defend our home. I need to be ready." "For what?" "Uh, our next rebellion." Jamie is certain, "There will be no next rebellion." "But, milord" "No more fighting." Fergus is clearly frustrated, "Just because you're a coward now doesn't mean I am." Jamie is more reasonable. "Weapons are outlawed. Put it back where you found it. Don't touch it again." "Sir." Jamie is approaching Lallybroch as Mary MacNab steps outside and is suprised to see him there. "Dinna ken ye were expected today." Jamie says quietly, not looking at her. "Came to look at the ledgers." "Oh" "Where's my sister?" We can hear Jenny moaning and grunting from inside the house. "Dinna fash. The bairn had a mind to come early. Ye'll soon have a new niece or nephew." The three boys are out and about again, and Rabbie informs the others, "The bairn is on the way." Fergus says "Aye." Young Jamie points to a black bird on a roof, "A raven!" Rabbie MacNab knows what that means, "My granny says that ravens are messengers of death. Canna be near the house. The bairn will die!" The three boys are now dealing with the problem. Fergus has the situation in hand, "Bullet. Hand me the cloth." Rabbie asks, "Ye sure that's how it works?" "Yes, I watched Murtagh instructing the soldiers." Fergus aims and shoots the raven. We see that there are British soldiers nearby who hear the shot. Jamie did too, and grabs the gun from Fergus. "I told you never to touch this again." Rabbie comes to Fergus' defense, "There was a raven." Fergus defends his action, "We were protecting the bairn." Mary MacNab approaches, "Sir, ye have a wee nephew. He's fine and healthy. What were ye thinkin', Rabbie? Dinna be causing any more trouble." Jamie is checking up on Jenny. She says, "I thought I'd call him Ian. Time we named one after the man that sired them, eh? ... Ye always look braw with a wee bairn in yer arms. How long's it been since you've lain with a woman, Jamie?" Jamie looks very uncomfortable with her line of thought. "Don't Janet." "'She's dead.' That's all you ever told me. I dinna ken how or why. It's been six years now. Mary MacNab's still young enough for bairns. I couldna run the household without her, after Mrs. Crook died, and she's a fine mother to Rabbie." Jamie is adament, "I won't marry. Ever again." "It's God's sorrow ye never had the chance to bring a child into this ..." Jamie has had enough. "Maybe the bairn should meet his brother." As he's leaving with the baby, Jenny tries one more time, "There's still time. Do ye hear me, brother? I just I just want you to have some happiness!" Captain Lewis enters the house and orders, "Find the weapon." Private Jenkins acknowledges the order, "Yes, Captain." Captain Lewis prods, "Jenkins, move!" then addresses the boys downstairs, "Where's your mistress? You three, search the rooms downstairs," then demands, "MacGregor, come with me," as they head up the stairs. Corporal MacGregor yells, "Get that pistol! Where's the weapon?" Jenny says calmly from her bed, "Weapon? We we have no weapons here, Captain." Captain Lewis isn't buying her denial. "My scouts heard a shot from the vicinity of this estate, so I ask again. Where are you hiding the weapon?" "I canna answer for what yer scouts heard, but I'll tell you again, I dinna know of any weapons here. We'd never risk such a thing." "I remind you, Madam, that as an officer in His Majesty's army, I am obliged to search this house should I have the slightest suspicion that the Act of Proscription has been breached, and we will continue to do so until you comply with my request." "Captain, I have cooperated with every request made by His Majesty's soldiers." Captain Lewis notices the birthing mess, "Have you delivered a child, Madam?" "Aye." "Where is it? Should it not be at your breast?" It was a fearsome birth, and the bairn wasna breathing when he came. Ye see he was already gone." Corporal MacGregor meanly butts in with, "Good. It's one less teutcher we'll have to deal with." Captain Lewis takes over, "Hold your tongue, Corporal. Where's the body?" "The midwife took it away to clean it for burial." Captain Lewis orders Corporal MacGregor, "Find the midwife and have her bring the body." Jenny looks distraught, "Captain, please, I canna bear it." Mary MacNab enters the room, "Here's the pistol, Captain. 'Tis mine." Captain Lewis looks surprised, "Yours?" "It belonged to my late husband, Ronald. It was the only thing I had left of him, so I kept it. It gave me comfort. Mistress Murray knew nothing of it." "And what occasion did you have to fire it?" "I saw a raven land near the house while milady was delivering her child. So I shot it dead." Corporal MacGregor smirks, "Just one of the foolish Highland superstitions, sir. Believing a common bird can bring ill luck." Jenny adds, "But it was too late. As I told you, the bairn was born dead." Mary MacNab confirms this. "Aye. I-I'm heart sorry, Mistress." Corporal MacGregor almost gleefully asks, "Should I take her into custody, Captain?" Captain Lewis answers, "We have the weapon. She's no threat. But I warn you once more, Madam, if another violation occurs, there will be no mercy." Captain Lewis says as they leave, "Corporal, if you please!" Jenny thanks Mary, "Thank ye, Mary. Ye did well." Jamie enters carrying the baby, and tells Jenny, "They're gone." "This new captain, I've seen the look of his eyes. He's no one to give up. He'll no stop till ye're hanging from the end of a rope. ... Take a shovel. Dig a grave in the cemetery, in case they look." Frank and Claire are in bed together. He's asleep, but she's thinking of Jamie, longingly. She puts her hand on Franks face, "Claire? What is it?" "I miss my husband." Frank responds accordingly, choosing to mistake her meaning. The Redcoats have brought Ian back to Lallybroch. Corporal MacGregor taunts, "Go and rot, peg leg. Half the garrison are searching to the north, and the other half are searching to the south. It's only a matter of time until we find Red Jamie. Then we'll be back for you and yer whole family." Ian takes his leave of them with, "Aye, well, it's been a lovely visit, gentlemen." Fergus leaves to find Jamie, but detects that he's being followed, so leads them on a wild goose chase. Corporal MacGregor figures this out, "The brat is leading us in circles." Private Jenkins agrees, "I believe is he, sir." Fergus taunts them, "You think you're smart? I knew you were following me. But y-you can't trick me, you imbeciles." Corporal MacGregor taunts back, "Tell us where Red Jamie is. I know that you know, you filthy frog-eater." "There's no Red Jamie here. Leave us alone!" Corporal MacGregor declares, "I'll get it out of you, one way or another." Fergus fights back with, "You're harassing us. We don't want you around here! You're all pieces of shit. Go to hell! Dirty Scotsman. You betray your own people. And the Scots hate you for it. You'll never be one of them." Corporal MacGregor yells, "Ye brazen wee bastard." Fergus keeps going, "Your face is as red as your coat! You fancies!" Corporal MacGregor is getting madder and madder, "I'll rip your tongue out!" "Filthy redcoats!" "You'll pay for those words! That tongue will get my boot up your ass!" "You morons!" Jamie is observing this from a distance and mutters to himself, "Don't taunt them." Fergus yells, "No women will have you!" Corporal MacGregor warns, "You'll be sorry." Private Jenkins joins in as they chase Fergus, "Get back here, ye filthy urchin!" Jamie watches on and mutters, "Run, you fool." They catch Fergus and Corporal MacGregor gleefully yells, "French scum, we'll string you up. Canna run from me! Hold him down!" Fergus, seeing what's about to happen, yells, "Go to hell! No!" Private Jenkins tries to stop it, "Wait, he's just a lad." But it's too late. Corporal MacGregor cut Fergus's left hand off! Blood is gushing out. ARGHHHHHH!!!! Corporal MacGregor orders, "Come on, leave him." Private Jenkins reasons, "If we do nothing, he'll die!" "That's an order, Private." And they all leave. Jamie scrambles as fast as possible to Fergus, "Hold. Dinna be feart. Fergus, laddie. I watched milady do this many times." Jamie puts a cloth over the stump that's gushing blood and has Fergus hold it while he takes off his belt to make a tourniquet. Then he gathers him in his arms and heads for Lallybroch. Jenny enters the room where Jamie is anxiously waiting for news. "Yer quick actions saved him, brother." He's very distraught. "I should have stopped them." Jenny reasons, "Then ye'd be dead and so would he. We'd all be dead. Oh. Brother, oh ..." She tries to comfort him as he loses it. Jamie enters Fergus's room, "Ye all right, ye wee fool?" Fergus is very calm (sedated). "I'm sorry, milord. I tried to lead them away from the cave." "Ye did well. I'm the one who should be sorry. You remind me I have something to fight for." Fergus approves of this change in attitude and says, "There you are, milord." "Ah, here. Does it hurt much?" "A bit. Sometimes it feels warm or scratchy or hurts like it's still there. But Madame has been most generous with the whiskey. Although, you know that I prefer the taste of French wine. Do not trouble yourself, milord. I have been fortunate. Do you recall the agreement we made in Paris? When you hired me to steal letters for you?" "Aye." "You said, should I be arrested or executed, you would have Masses said for me for a year. And should I lose an ear or a hand while doing your service ..." Jamie adds, "That I would support you for the rest of your life. You can trust me to keep that bargain." "I have always trusted you, milord. I think I'm most lucky. In one stroke, I have become a man of leisure, no?" Back in Boston, Frank and Claire have their neighbors over for dinner Jerry Nelson (Martin Delaney) asks, "What do you call this again?" Frank answers, "It's called Eton mess." Claire clarifies, "Well, a cheerful term for a failed pavlova." Jerry tells Claire, "Well, it's damn delicious, whatever you call it. Maybe you could give Millie the recipe." "I'd be happy to." Millie Nelson (Kimberly Nixon) sets things straight. "Now, Jerry, when was the last time you saw me bake anything? If I can't find it in the frozen section at the A&P, we're not having dessert." Her husband agrees, "Uh, true. You know, I knew she was no Betty Crocker when I married her, but her talents lie elsewhere." Millie giggles, "Stop" and they kiss. Frank interrupts, "Uh, would anyone like more?" Both answer simultaneously, Millie says, "Heck, yeah" and her husband says, "Twist my arm." Jerry adds, "You mind if we kill the bottle?" Claire answers, "Uh, it's all yours." Jerry pours the rest into their glasses and says, "Uh, well, cheers." Millie too, "Cheers." And then Claire, "Cheers." After their guests have gone home, Frank asks Claire, "Nightcap?" Claire answers, "Please. So which of Millie's talents do you think Jerry was referring to?" "Well, it's obviously her encyclopedic knowledge of the complete works of Shakespeare." "You are a snob." "You asked the question." Claire turns away from him and seductively takes off her silk nickers (keeping her hose on, which technically would be hard to do unless planned for in advance). Frank's on board for this, and they start to make love. But Claire has her eyes closed, which bothers Frank. "Claire, look at me. Baby Claire, open your eyes." She doesn't, so he stops moving. "Why have you stopped?" "Y-you you never used to close your eyes when we made love. I don't ..." "It doesn't mean anything. I'm enjoying this." "Are you? I ..." "Of course." Frank's upset. "Then why can't you look at me?" Claire climbs out from under him and straightens her clothes. "Christ, Frank. If you're not in the mood, you just had to say." Frank is really hurt as he states the obvious. "Claire, when I'm with you, I'm with you. But you're with him." Ian understands what's going on with Jamie "My leg, it's not there, as anyone can plainly see, and yet, it pains me terrible sometimes. Even wakes me up at night. Fergus, the lad, he'll likely feel the same wi' his hand. Feeling a pain in a part of ye that's lost. And that's just a hand. Claire was yer heart." Jamie is leaving Fergus's room and notices a tapestry on the wall that's been slashed. Mary MacNab comes through a door walking toward him. "I thought perhaps the lad could use another blanket." "Who did this?" Mary MacNab answers, "The soldiers, when they were searching the house." "The redcoats. They're never gonna stop until they find the Dunbonnet." Jenny and Jamie are deep in conversation. She's not happy. "Turn in my own brother?" Jamie reasons, "That way, ye'll get the reward money. And they'll not come after ye, 'cause of yer loyalty to the Crown." "To hell with the Crown." Jamie lays out the plan, "Send word to Captain Lewis. Tell him ... Tell him you heard from me. You know when I'll be coming, and when I do, they'll be here to arrest me. They'll know, once and for all, you owe no allegiance to Red Jamie." Jenny agast! "Christ, man, you'll be hangit!" Jamie is at the end of his rope. "I'll no risk your lives for me any longer." Ian enters the conversation, "The British are no hanging Jacobites anymore. It's likely he'll only be imprisoned." "Only? Jamie, have ye not seen the inside of enough prisons for one lifetime?" "Little difference to the prison I live in now." Mary MacNab approaches Jamie's cave entrance as he watches her from inside. "Mistress Jenny has sent food. Do you mind the company?" "It would be welcome." "What you did that day, turning the pistol over to the redcoats. It was very brave." "'Twas the only thing I could do." Later she's just finished shaving him, and Jamie says, "Thank you for the barbering." "'Twas no bother." "I leave tomorrow. Take the books back to Lallybroch. Bury the rest. Stay out of sight. I'm gonna wash up in the river." Mary starts to unlace her dress. As Jamie returns from the river, he notices her in her shift. "Whose idea was this? Yours or my sister's? Did she think I'd change my mind?" "Does it matter?" "No. It doesn't matter because it's not gonna happen. If you won't leave, then I'll have to." Mary puts her hand on his back and says, "Sir. Your sister didna ask me to do what I'm doin'. I ken well enough what ye're thinking, for I saw your lady and how it was between the two of ye. And it's not my mind to make ye feel ye've betrayed that. What I want is to share something different. Something less, mayhap, but something we both need. Something to keep us whole, as we move forward in this life." Jamie looks unsure about this development. "I've no done this in a very long time." "Neither have I. You can look at me if you'd like." "Ye're a bonny lass. ... It's just something I always do." Claire is soothing the baby, "Shh-shh-shh ..." Claire VOICEOVER: "I threw myself into my new role as best I could. But there was still something missing in my life. Once, I had thought I was whole. I'd been able to love a man, to bear a child, to heal the sick, and all these things were natural parts of me. But the man I had loved was Jamie, and for a time, I had been part of something greater than myself. I wanted that again. That's why I knew, eventually, I would need to do something more." Claire is holding a scalpel in what appears to be a medical classroom. Dr. Simms (Geoff McGivern) enters the room and says, "Can I help you, miss?" "Isn't this the anatomy classroom?" "It is. Are you looking for someone? I have a class about to start." "You must be Dr. Simms." "I am. And you are?" "Claire Randall. First year." "Oh, yes, the Dean informed me there was a woman in this year's incoming class. A woman and a negro. How very modern of us." A bunch of male students enter the room and start to take seats. They are all surprised and hostile to Claire and block her so she can't sit next to them. So she finds a spot by herself. Then a black man enters and approaches Claire. "Is this spot taken?" Claire smiles and replies, "No, it's all yours." "Thanks. Joe Abernathy." "Claire Randall. Pleased to meet you." Joe Abernathy (Wil Johnson) responds, "Pleased to meet you." Dr. Simms starts, "All right, gentlemen. Let's begin." Frank is in bed and Claire climbs in her side saying, "Bunny was wedged behind the bed again." Frank replies, "I think Bree might be trying to tell us something." Claire smiles, "Good night." Frank smiles, "Good night." The camera pans back and you can see that they have separate twin beds. Jamie's plan to surrender to the Redcoats is happening Jamie walks under the archway at Lallybroch and says happily, "Jenny. It's me. I've come home!" Redcoat soldiers draw their guns on him, and Jamie looks at Jenny saying, "No, Jenny, no!" Captain Lewis states loudly, "James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser, otherwise known as Red Jamie, you are hereby under arrest for high treason against His Majesty King George." Jamie is acting it up, "Not my own sister." Captain Lewis orders, "Put him in the irons!" Jamie looks betrayed, "How could you?" Jenny plays her part, "This is yer own fault! Ye brought this on yerself!" Captain Lewis hands Jenny a leather pouch, evidently her 'thirty coins'. "Well done, Madam. You've done a service to the Crown." Jamie yells, "This is blood money!" Jenny, in tears, yells back, "Ye gave me no choice, brother! And I'll never forgive you! Never!" Claire is crossing a bridge on foot and hears a man playing bagpipes. As she approaches him, she digs for some money in her purse to put in his cup. She looks sad, but then continues on her way, presumably to get on with her life. The sorrowful bagpipes indicate that everyone involved in the story at this point is pretty unhappy, but making do.
