♪ ♪ Tom’s a nice name.

Thomas Jones?

ALLWORTHY: She left him with us for the chance of a better life.

I cannot live with Mr. Blifil.

Sophy!

TOM: She didn’t marry Blifil.

She came after me!

And look how you repaid her.

LADY BELLASTON: Sophia Western will never be yours.

If I could just tell her how much I love her.

Leave me or make love to me.

I don’t belong to either of you!

SOPHIA: Mr. Jones.

That poor girl loves him.

There was a letter waiting.

TOM: It’s from Sophia.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ SOPHIA (voiceover): A woman can reach her lowest ebb and never know that the dark night is ending.

But a man can face defeat and exile and come back fighting…

Enough.

SOPHIA (voiceover): …one last time.

(shop bell ringing) Tom gave up on me once.

♪ ♪ (bells jingling) But now…

I’ve given up on him.

(distant door slamming) (small gasp) (stomping footsteps approaching) (keys jangling, lock turning) Locked up!

The minute I turn my back!

Oh, Aunt, I was never so glad to see your person in my life.

Don’t be glad to see me, I’m just as cross with you as my brother is.

Though even more cross with him.

God, the tyranny of idiot menfolk.

Sophia, what were you thinking?

That I claim the freedom enjoyed by the simplest English village girl.

The freedom to consent.

Hmm.

I mean, child, what on earth have you done to your hair?

Honour got left behind.

Mm.

(whistling) TOM (quietly): Betsy, hey.

Tommicus?

Mama, it’s Tom!

Tom’s here!

No, no, no, hush.

Your mother doesn’t want to see me.

I need to see Nightingale, I need his help.

Mr. Jones.

Where were you this morning… when I needed a best man?

Tom!

I’m married to Nancy.

(excited laughter) AUNT WESTERN: So not only did you abduct the child forcibly against my express instructions, and imprison her like some monster in a fairy tale… (keys jangling) Or… “All hail my hero brother, for rescuing her from certain ruin.”

AUNT WESTERN: You also managed to lose the only maid servant the length and breadth of Old England capable of doing her hair.

And still you expect her to find a husband.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ SOPHIA (voiceover): Grateful, of course I am.

You’ve both come to London to find me and I am safe, and… duty, yes, of course duty is important.

But so is love.

And I want to act from love for you, as well as from duty.

and that is why I say, dear Grandfather, I am persuaded…

So you will marry Mr. Blifil?

Never to marry at all.

(scoffs) I shall stay home with you and look after you forever.

Love and duty together, do you not see?

Young women must marry!

Or what?

Or the sky will fall in!

(Western scoffs) (groans) (groans) (horse whinnies) I did not bring you back from Jamaica, at vast expense, for you to molder and die a spinster.

(Western exiting carriage) You’ll catch your death, you obstinate fool.

(carriage door shuts) You never married.

That was different.

One, I had money of my own.

Two, I was not the last of my line.

That’s why he brought me back to England.

To produce a new generation of Westerns.

To bear children to carry on the family line, yes, what else?

Mr. Blifil’s children?

How can I bear them, how can I love them?

I don’t know, do I?

(small sigh) It’s just what mothers do.

Well, I never knew my mother.

(horse nickers) AUNT WESTERN: Sophia.

You’ve got to marry someone.

♪ ♪ NIGHTINGALE (laughing): I am the man of this house now, and I decree that you should have your old room back.

Your other problem I can also fix.

If you want to be sure that Lady B will not tell Sophia, you either have to make it worth her while…

I can’t go to her bed again, it would be wrong.

The whole thing has been wrong since the beginning.

Or…

Call her bluff.

Tell her that you share her terror that she’ll lose her reputation.

Propose to make an honest woman out of her.

(scoffs) She’ll realize that you only want her fortune, and you won’t see her for dust.

I don’t want her fortune.

what if she says yes?

(snorts) Don’t flatter yourself, Jones.

It would be cruel.

The lady says she loves me.

Silly old bat.

She’s well past the age of love.

Go on, write to her.

(sighs) If…

If I could appeal to her better nature…

The lady’s already shown she hasn’t got one.

♪ ♪ NIGHTINGALE (voiceover): “As your honor “is as dear to me as a… “As my own.”

Mmm.

“I long to call you mine forever.”

I can’t do this.

It, it’s not true.

It’s wrong, it’s…

It’s ugly.

Finish the job.

(quill scratching) TOM (voiceover): “As your honor is as dear to me as my own… “Believe me when I assure you “I can never be completely happy “without you generously “bestowing on me the legal right… “…of calling you mine forever.

♪ ♪ “Lady Bellaston, marry me.”

♪ ♪ One son I had… And you’re all I’ve got left of him.

(sniffs) (sniffling) Tell me… About her.

I never met your mother.

SOPHIA: Anything at all… A name, or…

Your father’s daughter, his name should be enough for you.

God!

It is not, though.

It is not enough.

Beneba.

It’s all in the past.

All any of us know about her is that in his will, when your father freed you, he called you “my daughter with the slave known as Beneba.”

Beneba.

(quietly): Mm.

♪ ♪ (horse whinnies outside) (carriage wheels clattering) (horse whinnies) Oh, God.

(carriage door closing) (horse nickers) ♪ ♪ My lady… (horses nickering) I see I have wasted my affection on a heartless joker.

Surely you know me better than to think so.

Am I such a fool, that I should deliver my entire fortune into your power?

To call you husband, and bow to your commands?

(deep breath) My lady… My lady, that is an honor I never sought.

A, a letter I wrote but did not intend to send.

Forgive me, and believe that in all my days, I never, I never meant to hurt you.

I know you now, Mr. Jones, as a worthless villain, and I despise you from my soul.

(banging) DRIVER: Walk.

(horses nicker) (carriage wheels clattering) WESTERN: She must wed somebody while she still has a scrap of reputation to trade, and you know it.

Oh dear heavens, I am glad I never considered marriage for myself.

Mr. Blifil has money and two of everything he should have two of.

So what is her problem?

Heavens, brother, is there no limit (shouting): to your vulgarity?

And another thing!

WESTERN: Enough things for one night!

Enough things for one life.

AUNT WESTERN: Monster!

(gate creaking) ♪ ♪ (bottles clattering) Who’s that?

Speak or die.

It’s just a worthless villain.

It’s three days since I delivered Miss Western’s letter.

What took you so long?

I haven’t come to rescue her, Black George.

‘Cause you’ve got no money and no future?

Never did me any harm.

Why have you come then?

To say goodbye.

Oh.

Suit yourself.

She’s in that top room, but it’s too blooming dangerous.

(sighing) It’s the only way.

I, I don’t want you meeting your maker.

Not while you’re still on my conscience.

No, Tom.

Tom.

You were given £500 by your father.

Mr. Allworthy gave it you when he kicked you out?

He did.

(chuckles) And I promptly lost it.

(stammering): Wh…

I…

I built myself a new house with it.

Yeah.

Right.

I’ve not slept proper since.

♪ ♪ Dear friend, I’m glad it made a difference to your life.

♪ ♪ (leaves rustling) (mutters) (exhales) (leaves rustling) (clambering noisily) (Tom panting) If you’ve come to save me from captivity, it’s too late.

My aunt beat you to it.

Please open the window.

(Sophia sighs) Thank you.

(clambering) (exhales) (catching breath) I know your grandfather will never consent to me.

But nor should he, for I am… unworthy.

Believe me, I’m never so sincere as in this moment.

I love you.

If I could marry you tomorrow, I would.

But Sophia, it’s best I go away.

I ran away once.

A lifetime ago.

To find you.

But you were a child.

And this is childhood’s end.

♪ ♪ Well, maybe I’ll make my fortune in America.

And even if I don’t, then I’ll never give up hope that one day… No.

Hope is the worst thing.

Hope keeps you awake at night, dreaming of things that can never be.

(sniffs) Goodbye, Tom.

WESTERN: Sophy?

Sophy!

They mustn’t find me here.

I’ve said it to my pillow and I’ve said it to the clouds and I’ve said it to the trees.

But I’ve never said it to you.

I love you, Tom.

(softly): I love you.

AUNT WESTERN: Sophia?

(banging on door) Sophia?

(banging on door continues) (deep breaths, sniffs) Oh!

I have triumph.

(short gasp) Did I hear voices?

Oh, just the wind in the trees.

Oh.

Sophia, if you will vow to admit no other man to your heart… Well, who can control her heart?

To marry no other man, without your grandfather’s consent, then he agrees to forget all about Blifil.

Can you respect his command, Sophia?

I promise.

Oh!

Mm!

SOPHIA (voiceover): I will marry no man until my grandfather commands it.

♪ ♪ Is it not perfectly dreadful, Harriet, to learn that our niece’s honor is now certainly lost?

Fearfully romantic, though.

(sighs) You actually saw the lover climbing through the window?

The criminal will stop at nothing.

LADY BELLASTON: Mr. Blifil, I do wonder why you continue to pursue the girl.

Apart from the size of her inheritance, of course.

She was promised to me, not to him.

All my life, he has taken what should rightfully be mine.

Mr. Blifil, we, the aunts, the loyal and concerned aunts, we shall help you.

(teacups clattering) Together we shall vanquish the wicked dragon Jones and restore that naughty maiden to your loving arms.

Good bye, dear.

(startled): Oh!

HARRIET (muffled): Oh, I– (door slamming) LADY BELLASTON: Mr. Blifil… (Harriet exclaiming) We have much to discuss.

(sighs) I know you were only trying to help.

And it did work.

Lady Bellaston ran off with her wig on fire.

Just like I said.

No, we hurt her.

Badly.

And I’m just not quite sure what she might do next.

What if she takes her revenge on Sophia?

(knocking) (door creaking open) Sealing wax and everything.

♪ ♪ It’s Lady Bellaston’s coat of arms.

It’s an invitation.

To an art gallery?

What do I care about bloody art?

Mrs. Fitzpatrick.

You’re not invited.

(wildlife chittering) (Allworthy snoring distantly) (wheezing breath) (snoring continues) Mrs. Blifil.

Hm?

Is that…?

BRIDGET: Good Lord.

What does he want?

ALLWORTHY (voiceover): Mr. Partridge, it was not I who banished you from Little Baddington, but your lawful wife, as all agreed was fair punishment for your life of immorality.

It was not me who fathered Tom Jones.

Though I’d be proud to call him son, as you should be.

And now, sir, you are intruding on private family business.

He’s a fine lad, Squire.

Kind and strong and a good heart in him, and it’s just not fair what happened, to me or to him.

Oh!

Oh.

This letter…

It’s just arrived.

It’s clearly important, but alas, neither I nor Mrs. Wilkins can make head or tail of it.

Yes, come… Mm.

(clears throat) Is it in English?

(clears throat) After a life in the classroom, there’s not a hand on God’s earth that I cannot read.

Magister sum.

(mumbles) It’s from Miss Western’s maid– as was, she works for the devil now.

(small chuckle) “Miss Western is in grave danger “of being married against her will and her nature.

“Please help her, “I don’t know where else to turn.

“Don’t tell her I writ.”

Never.

Lovely young thing like me.

Miss… Lady Bellaston has sent me on a particular errand.

“Make the young lady look her best for the exhibition tomorrow,” says she, and sends me with a bag full of her feathers and her padding and her white makeup… She wants me to look like her.

(sniffs) I’d rather look like me.

(distant shouting) I want you to know, that whether they hang me, or transport me, or whether I die in a ditch, I will always think kindly of you.

Sorry?

You never asked for a foundling brother.

I was such a scamp.

Always in trouble, and…

I thought we were friends.

No, you were mistress and servant.

Good day, Colonel.

Waters!

A riot, I hear.

A battlefield, ladies fainting in the gutters.

How old are you?

Twenty.

I don’t think he loved any of them.

But still, so many women.

Well, three.

Is that a lot?

Or is that not many?

Well, what kind of question is that?

I just mean, what does it matter now?

You know, you love him, but you can’t have him.

So if you still want him, you need to try harder to stop.

He’s given me plenty of reasons.

Yeah, well.

I can’t help thinking that people make mistakes.

People can change.

Even you, Honour?

The first thing Mr. Allworthy did upon his arrival in Cadogan Square.

Mr. Allworthy is in London?

Please, sit down.

Oh…

Nothing would, would give me greater joy than to welcome you into my family.

You are kindness itself, but I made a free choice, sir.

Yes, indeed.

My mother died a slave.

Free only in the sight of God.

And I have a duty to her memory to make her proud and to use my freedom wisely.

Yes, that’s, that’s… that, that’s well said.

But I, but I find I do have another nephew who might suit you rather better.

He’s taller, for instance.

It looks like you.

The lady wants to wait a year, sir.

A year!

We could all be dead in a year!

Contrary little madam!

Now, you come here, madam.

Come along.
