| You humiliated me in front of my new colleagues. |
| FRANK: Well, welcome to the club. |
| CLAIRE: What the hell does that mean? FRANK: Keep your voice down. |
| You'll wake Brianna. |
| CLAIRE: What does that mean? FRANK: It means you're not as good an actress as you think you are, Claire. |
| CLAIRE: You knew how important today was to me. |
| (OVERLAPPING SPEECH) LAOGHAIRE: I've been living in drag, eating nothing but scraps. |
| It's not right. |
| He promised more than this. |
| IAN: Mistress, he's doing the best that he can. |
| If you'd only give him a bit more time LAOGHAIRE: I married him in good faith, and he promised me payment for the wrong he did to me Running away with that heathen and leaving me here to rot. |
| IAN: Laoghaire, you ken he's a man of his word. |
| If he had more, he'd send more. |
| I'm tired of his excuses. |
| We canna eat excuses. |
| We're in need of the money. |

| Ye're nearly the same size as my Marsali. |
| Och, wi' yer own garment all in tatters and not fit to keep ye warm Something woolen'll serve you much better for yer voyage at sea. |
| Thank you. |
| I hope someone would do the same fer my girls. |
| 'Tis flattering indeed. |
| Is it no, Joanie? Soon ye'll be grown enough fer a dress such as this, and leave me to get married, no doubt. |
| Will ye help me with the garden? Now there's a thought. |
| I'll put on some stew. |
| Is it your father who doesn't send the money? My Da. |
| Aye. |
| I call him Da, but my own father left when I was wee. |
| I dinna remember him. |
| Do you ever put flowers in your hair? (LAUGHING) No, not this time o' year. |
| Here. |
| I'll do it for you. |
| Such a beautiful color. |
| Like yours. |
| I'm told it's like my father's, but I've never met him. |
| Ma says that men are louts. |
| - Do ye ken if he's a lout? - (CHUCKLES) I-I don't know. |
| I don't think he is. |
| I hope to find out for myself one day. |
| Is it your Da she thinks is a lout? He was good and kind to me always, but he broke Ma's heart. |
| He didna love her as she loved him. |
| I could say the same about the man who raised me. |
| My mother didn't love him the way same way in return. |
| (FIRM KNOCKING) - (KNOCKING CONTINUES) - Uh, it's open. |
| Why aren't you answering the phone? Are you gonna stay at the office all night? What is going on with you? (SIGHS SOFTLY) What's this? That is research from a colleague in Scotland. |
| Who died? FRANK: Um it's complicated. |
| Well, do you wanna talk about it? I mean, "complicated" is a relative term, Daddy. |
| It all depends on your perspective. |
| My daughter, the psychiatrist. |
| Professor Randall (SOFT LAUGH) BRIANNA: It seems you've been working very hard lately. |
| You could say that. |
| BRIANNA: And your research is Mm, let me think. |
| What term would Freud use? Going nowhere? (SOLEMN DRAMATIC MUSIC) Yep, you could say that too. |
| (NORMAL VOICE) Well, that doesn't sound like you, Daddy. |
| What is it? (INHALES DEEPLY) (SIGHS) Um Daddy, it's me. |
| You can tell me. |
| Bree I'm sorry. |
| I'm sorry. |
| I can't. |
| I Look it, it's obviously important to you. |
| Yeah. |
| It was everything to me, aside from you. |
| And Mama? You should go home. |
| She'll be worried about you. |
| She'll be fine. |
| Go home, Brianna. |
| Please. |
| Go home. |
| FRANK: Brianna? Someday, I promise, you'll understand. |
| Maybe someday, I won't care. |
| (DOOR SLAMS) (INSECTS CHIRPING) - (KNOCKING) - BRIANNA: Come in. |
| (DOOR CREAKS) Your bed should be warm by now. |
| My nest here will be empty before too long. |
| 'Course, I hope Joanie will marry in time to a good man, if there is such a thing. |
| She's seen them come and go. |
| There are good men. |
| And she's a lovely girl. |
| I'm sure when the time's right, she'll find a man who'll do anything for her. |
| Well, as her ma, I'd do anything for her. |
| But a husband hard to be sure. |
| There was a time when my last husband would ha' done anythin' for me. |
| When I was a young lass, he took a beating for me. |
| And he would steal kisses from me whenever he had the chance. |
| He loved me once until he was bewitched by another woman. |
| (DARK MUSIC) 'Tis her fault his heart hardened against me. |
| I'm sorry. |
| Aye, ye've nothin' to be sorry for, lass. |
| Though I do miss him. |
| I know the pain of missing someone. |
| We were a family. |
| Come nightfall, we would sit together around the fire, Joanie on his knee and Marsali at his side and he and I would tell a tale or two from the Bible. |
| There was so much joy then. |
| Since he left us, I, I canna bring myself to recite them. |
| It pains Joanie. |
| (SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC) What was Joanie's favorite story? Ah, she loved the story of Naomi and Ruth. |
| Would you tell it to me? In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. |
| And so a man from Bethlehem in Judah, along with his wife and two sons Went to live for a while in the country of Moab. |
| The man's name was Elimelek. |
| His wife's name was Naomi. |
| (SEAGULLS CAWING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) He's over there. |
| (MEN CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY) Thank you. |
| Excuse me. |
| Pardon me. |
| Are you the captain of the "Gloriana"? MAN: Indeed I am. |
| I'm seeking passage to the Carolinas. |
| There's no luck here. |
| I do intend to sail to Wilmington on my way to Philadelphia, but I'm taking no one else aboard. |
| Sir Captain, please. |
| I'd do anything. |
| My lass is there and I need to find her. |
| And you can't find yourself one here? There's none so handsome as an Irish woman, I grant you. |
| Still, ye'll have to try. |
| As I've said Takin' no one else aboard. |
| BONNET: Gentleman. |
| Would you take me on as a member of your crew? (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Your hands are better suited to writing letters than sailing. |
| (GRUNTS) Captain! Where do you want this? (CHUCKLES) BONNET: You believe in luck? Heads, you come. |
| Tails, you stay. |
| What's your name? Roger MacKenzie. |
| 20 shillings a month, Mr. |
| MacKenzie. |
| You're free to leave the ship when it's in port, and you'll be paid once the cargo's unloaded. |
| Sailors'll show you where to go. |
| (CHUCKLES) BONNET: And MacKenzie? There's four ports before Wilmington. |
| I hope she's worth it. |
| Is yer ankle better? Almost (BLOWS) I'll be on my way soon. |
| Ye've been a blessing, lass. |
| LAOGHAIRE: That cupboard's been broken since my husband lived here. |
| I'm happy I could help. |
| Look at ye! It's not like you, Joanie, to keep yer braid for another day. |
| She's taken a liking to ye. |
| If you're going to San Francisco Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair I dinna ken that one. |
| (LAUGHS SOFTLY) It's my mother's favorite. |
| Some of the girls at Lallybroch would put flowers in their hair in summer. |
| Lallybroch? Aye, it's not far from here. |
| My mother's relatives live there. |
| I've never met them, but she always spoke of them so fondly. |
| And who might yer mother be? I may have kent her, spendin' a bit o' time at Lallybroch myself. |
| Claire Fraser. |
| Do you know her? (TENSE MUSIC) Ye never said yer name was Fraser. |
| It's not. |
| It's Randall, after Frank, the man who raised me. |
| I see. |
| The husband yer mother didna care for. |
| I heard ye and Joanie speaking about it in the garden. |
| She cared for him. |
| She just LAOGHAIRE: Didna love him as she loved this other man Yer true father. |
| Must be a good man, this Frank Randall To have raised a daughter such as ye. |
| Yes, he was. |
| He died. |
| Some years ago. |
| LAOGHAIRE: I'm sorry to hear it. |
| It sounds as though he'd never leave ye by choice, only by God's hand. |
| (SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC) Mm. |
| You're up early. |
| I decided a cream tea necessary. |
| I'm sorry, Daddy. |
| No. |
| It's you that deserves an apology. |
| I was not myself last night. |
| No. |
| I shouldn't have pushed you. |
| (INHALES DEEPLY) (GRUNTS) Nothing that a good cup of tea and a scone can't fix. |
| (LAUGHS SOFTLY) Mm. |
| Well? How is it? Mm. |
| It's perfect. |
| Do you ever Have you ever thought about studying abroad? I don't know. |
| Why? There are some excellent universities. |
| Yeah, I'm sure there are, but I mean, Harvard's here, and you're here. |
| LAOGHAIRE: Do you believe the story yer mother told ye? About your true father and why he couldna raise ye? Of course. |
| I have no reason to doubt my mother. |
| Why do you ask? LAOGHAIRE: Well, folks talk at Lallybroch. |
| 'Course I wouldna want to repeat what they say, it bein' about yer father. |
| What do they say about him? Nothing. |
| Forgive me, lass, for speakin' of it. |
| Please? Tell me. |
| (SOFT FOREBODING MUSIC) Well, I dinna like to repeat such things myself, but there are some folk who say there was no room in his heart for a bairn, and he sent yer mother away upon findin' she was wi' child. |
| They were married and in love. |
| Why wouldn't he want a child? Why wouldn't he want me? 'Tis but whisperins hereabouts, but I shouldna ha' told ye, but I didna want ye to hear it from folk elsewhere. |
| People gossip. |
| - Even after all this time? - LAOGHAIRE: Oh, aye. |
| A tale such as that, why Think no more of it, lass. |
| I only hope he doesna turn ye away for a second time. |
| I have to find them, even if he is what you say. |
| What is it that's so pressing? This will sound strange, but they need my help. |
| I can prevent their deaths if I go to them now. |
| There's going to be a fire. |
| How would ye ken such a thing? I can't explain it. |
| If there's something that will prevent me receiving my alimony, ye'd best speak of it. |
| Your alimony? What does this have to do with you? How dare ye come into my home and treat me How dare ye! Uh you brought me here. |
| LAOGHAIRE: Did they send ye here? Is that what's happened? Did they sent ye here to laugh at me, or did ye bewitch me yourself? Ye're a witch just like yer ma. |
| - You know my mother? - LAOGHAIRE: I ken her well. |
| Your mother was the thievin' whore who stole my husband and left me destitute. |
| Your mother is Claire? Yes, but she never wanted to leave Jamie She went home to another man. |
| And when he died, she came back for my Jamie. |
| Bewitched him, she did, with a love spell that made me invisible. |
| She never meant to hurt anyone! She wouldn't. |
| I'm sorry, I (TENSE MUSIC) I can see I'm no longer welcome. |
| Claire Fraser should ha' burned at the stake in Cranesmuir. |
| (SOFTLY) Oh, my God. |
| You're the one who tried to have my mother killed. |
| And she would be dead if she wasna a witch. |
| I'm sure believing that is easier than facing the truth. |
| And the truth is that Jamie Fraser has never loved you. |
| (MUSIC ESCALATING) LAOGHAIRE: You spawn of a witch I'll have you arrested for witchcraft, BRIANNA: No. |
| LAOGHAIRE: Just like I did your mother! - (LOCK CLICKS) - Open the door! (GRUNTS) Let me out! (GRUNTING, PANTING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (GRUNTS) (LAUGHTER) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (CAR BEEPS) That's my dad. |

| How would you feel about studying in England? England? FRANK: I've been offered a position at Cambridge. |
| I want you to come with me. |
| And what about Mama? Is she all right with this? Your mother and I are getting a divorce. |
| (LAUGHS SOFTLY) What are you talking about? Don't be silly. |
| You're too old to get a divorce. |
| Bree, listen to me. |
| No, I-I don't wanna listen to you. |
| Darling, please. |
| So what? You don't always get along. |
| Who does? But you don't just get divorced. |

| How (SCOFFS) I I can't. |
| I have to go. |
| Can we speak later? Bree? I love you. |
| BRIANNA: I keep thinking If I'd have just stayed in the car with you that night, you'd still be here. |
| If I would've just agreed to go to England with you, then (INHALES SHAKILY) Ugh, maybe we'd have gone out to celebrate (SOMBER MUSIC) And you never would've had the accident. |

| I can't take your money. |
| Aye, ye can. |

| Bairn's looking well. |
| (BABY FUSSES)What's wrong? Captain. |
| Imagine my surprise when a galley hand went lookin' for salt pork, and found a lassie and a babe instead. |
| I said a wise man doesn't trouble himself with the things beyond his power, but on this ship, everything's in my power. |
| Mm? Including the distribution of rations. |
| - (BABY FUSSES) - BONNET: Mm? Now, see, she's hiding down here while others suffer above. |
| (TENSE MUSIC) (SIGHS) (CLICKS TONGUE) That's not fair, is it? When I was just 17, the youngest of a crew of workmen, hired to build a house. |
| I couldn't say for why they hated me. |
| They were a whey-faced lot, so maybe it was my manner, or the way the lasses smiled at me, but I knew I was unpopular with them. |
| Captain, if I may They needed a sacrifice for the foundation, lest the earth should tremble and the walls collapse. |
| But they started arguing about whether I should be the sacrifice, or if Daft Joey would be a better choice. |
| One of the men suggested tossing a coin. |
| "Do ye take heads or tails?" He asked, laughing. |
| I was too sick to speak. |
| So he said by Geordie's head should I live, and by his arse I should die. |
| And he threw the shilling in the air. |
| I had no strength to look. |
| They rolled me on my face and hit me. |
| When I came to, I found the shilling in my pocket. |
| They were honest men, to be sure. |
| (BABY CRIES SOFTLY) (OMINOUS MUSIC STING) Would you say you were a gambling man, MacKenzie? (SOFTLY) You don't mean to toss that coin for Morag and Jemmy's lives? (WHISPERS) Oh, not not theirs. |

| See, you supplied the rations. |
| You should pay. |

| Should ye be in need of a servant, might ye consider my daughter? She's a fine cook and a rare hand wi' a needle. |
| - I have no need of one - JOSEPH: I beg of you, please. |
| There is a man who desires her as a a concubine. |
| Then don't let him have her. |
| JOSEPH: I have no choice. |
| Her contract and mine Have been bought by a broker who plans to sell her to the man unless I find someone else willing to secure her passage. |
| I'm going to North Carolina. |
| Better she be gone from me forever to some wild place, than to be dishonored. |
| Please, just just meet her. |
| This is Elizabeth. |
| (SOFTLY) Lizzie. |
| Do your duty to the lady. |
| Your servant, Mistress. |
| I'd like to buy passage on the "Phillip Alonzo" For two. |
| (COINS CLATTERING) CAPTAIN O'BRIAN: Yer name? Brianna Randall. |
| (SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC) JOSEPH: Lizzie! Be sure to say your prayers! (GENTLE MUSIC) |
