Brian And Ellen - Love Story (Outlander - Blood Of My Blood)

So you're thinking of bedding down here for the night? I can suggest better places. You can speak? Didn't expect to hear a voice hereabouts. How many kind of horses speak? Many. I didn't reckon they were endowed with that power at all. Aye, of course they are. Didn't they speak to you? The horses. I find some to be very wise. And a much better company than, say, chickens. Why are you here, hiding amongst the beasts? It's been a long day. And I'm afraid I have very little social grace left. Suitors? I'm wanted. I could ask you the same. I too have suitors. Oh, that'll be the suitors you were talking about. And I don't think they have a courtship in mind. We should probably make haste then. The kindness may be followed, but will you meet me in a more suitable place? Aye. It's not usual for a lady to meet a strange man without a chaperone. There's a bridge at the edge of this estate. As if you're travelling to Inverness. Aye, I think it will. Here, here you are. Well, I didn't wish to be rude. During the dinner. Tomorrow. I simply came to say farewell, and that I cannae stay. No, please. Go. I will. Stay. Inverness, just for a moment. I do only have your honour, your virtue, questioned. Maybe today, the bridge could be your chaperone. You stay on that side, and I'll remain here. Very well. I'll stay, but only for a moment. I never asked your name. Ellen. I'm Brian. Do you have a surname, Brian? Of course I do, but you haven't told me yours. Ellen Mackenzie. A blear. Do you love her? I'm Brian. Fraser. Bastard son of Simon Fraser. That is unfortunate. It is. I must admit, since our encounter, I've tried to forget you. Strange. I could do nothing but think of you. You've haunted my every thought. I didn't say I succeeded. Forgive my boldness. I had to touch you. That's more than your pants. Tell me this is real. Am I too bold? Are you sure I attend to my place across the bridge? No. What can we do? My father detested yours. I'm sure your father would be of like mind. There'd be more obstacles ahead. Many. No doubt. Yeah. Where do we go from here? Within the care of its feet. The man intervention that brought us together. Do you feel that? If I had to bargain with the devil himself, and spend a moment more with you, I would. What do you think now? The time we lost. Forever. You're here. I needed a way to speak to you, without arousing suspicion. You stole me away. You must pretend to be strangers. I can go to the very ends of the earth for you, Ellen McKenzie. Can you get away somehow? I'll find an excuse. Meet me by that old castle tower. I know where. Tell me what you want. It pleases you. Your Highness. You love Brian Fraser, don't you? With my whole heart. Then go to him. Many search their entire lives for the kind of love you've found. Rarely do they succeed. I choose... Mr. Grant! If you don't go, it'll haunt you forever. Trust me. How long do we have before you're missed? Until the need fires lit. Miss McKenzie. We must be careful. Mine's the same. Been out my chest. Why have you come? I needed to look into your eyes and know for myself that my soul's never been more at peace. That you want to marry Malcolm Grant. You risked your life to come and ask me that in person? There is enchantment in this place. And in being here. With you. What do my eyes say? Do you feel until they've changed? The light's fading too quickly. I can't bear it, Brian. There are those who fear darkness. And they're right to. There's dangers that lurk within it. Have yours for me? No. I didn't fear it. For when it falls, the fire you've lit within me is bright enough to put the moon and the stars to shame. The city's so pleased with the glow. I'll find a way out of my betrothal. I swear it. We will. I didn't fear the dark so much, either. It's where I find you. Each night. There's someone coming. You must go. Now. I pray this is no dream. When will I see you again? Belting. Go. Please. I'm sorry you didn't get more time with her. I must never have a chance to see her again. And Belting. You'll need someone to liaise with Ellen. And to distract Grant. I want to help you. If we keep going, I won't be able to stop. What do you want me to do? Your name. Your honour. Your virtue. I couldn't live without myself. You'd be ruined. Ellen. Ruin me? Blood. Of my blood. I've never known a man like you. The fact that I'll pretend. Bone of my bone. I give you my body. That we two might be one. I suppose I've spent a fair amount of time on my own. So I've no problem with my own thoughts. I give you my spirit. Till our lives shall be done. What about Marta? My cousin. Like a brother to me. Longer. She could have been around a wee bit more to keep the peace between me and my dad. Is he as bad as they say? Your father? Worse. That's the reason why I left home last year. Miss Scotland altogether. Where did you go? I walked away from St. James. El Camino de Santiago. I needed to understand my place in the world. My purpose. Why would God create me? The unwanted bastard that's such a cruel man. What did God tell you? To make peace with my station. This is Fraser Tartan. Why do you have this, lass? But then I met you. Were you hadn't fast? And I find myself wanting again. To be worthy of you. Lord in heaven. To be the kind of man you choose. My dear nephew. Martin Fitzgibbon's Fraser. He's always had eyes for you but you never seemed to notice. I thought you were blind to it. I do choose you. You can't keep it. No. You want to burn it. Have you any regrets? About decisions you've made? None. Just mine. I haven't been given much choice in this life. How to behave. When to speak. What to say. Who to marry. All are things that have been prescribed for me. Then hide it well. And we will speak of it again. For all our sakes. But you. I would hadn't fast. I choose for myself. You've helped me greatly by ensnaring the Mackenzie, lass. I'm only allowed one choice. The rest of my life. I would choose you. It has given Isaac Grant a reason to call your purity into question. It's not what you think. It doesn't matter. A seed of doubt has been planted regarding Lady Mackenzie's virtue. And doubts have a very nasty way of growing. Ellen Mackenzie. When I met her, I didn't know who she was. By the time I did, it was too late. I'd fallen in love with her. I didn't know how to tell you. It doesn't surprise me that you fell for her. Nor does it surprise me that she fell for you. But to lose her to one I considered my brother. What are you? I never intended to betray you. It doesn't matter. Round them up. Ellen Mackenzie will be put to the test. She will undergo an examination to see if she is, in fact, a virgin. I'll tell you where to go this time. I can't refuse Malcolm's hand, but his power can refuse me. A Mackenzie deflowered by a Fraser. Isaac Grant will surely deem me unsuitable to marry when he hears of this. I care for her. Get your hands off my sister! Nonsense. There's Ellen. And Malcolm Grant. If you do go, you won't live to have any regrets. You can't meddle in this. I'm responsible. It hurts, doesn't it? Seeing the lass you love enjoying the company of another. I've only let her suffer the consequences. It was foolish enough to involve yourself with her at all. Aye, I ken about the ordeal Ellen was forced to go through in your account. You're pledging yourself to Ellen Mackenzie? I love her. I like the one in blue myself. I was thinking the lad in red, hasn't he? She will be the death of you. I'm so sorry for what you went through. I was sick with worry. They'll kill her. How can you do anything about it? Without getting killed yourself? You only have power over your mind. Not outside events. I can help you. Not all phrases wish harm. Some wish to protect. What do you need to apply it? Cloth to start to make a small compress of sorts. Let's just fix it. Please help her. This is dangerous for both of us. We must be careful. Christ have mercy. I love you. Let's go inside where no one can see us. No, no. Aye, you're right. We cannot be careless after what you've been through. I see Mr. Gowan searching for me. If any harm befalls Brian at your hand, or at the hand of another at your behest. Or see him harm. Meet me later. In the old kirk on the castle grounds. From this moment onwards, you have my word. Ellen, what is it? We cannot be together, Brian. Any reassurance she'll keep you at half of our bargain? We can find a way. No. I was stubborn and foolish. You must break with him. For good. You're penniless. Without a foot of land to your name. You have my word. I'm the bastard of the most wretched, immoral lord in the highlands. It's what we do for the ones we love, isn't it? I was beguiled by you for a time. But my heart has changed. In spite of the pain it causes you, you protect them. We pledge ourselves to one another. I'm pledged to Malcolm Grant. No matter the cost. Losing them forever. My heart beats only for you. Too great a price to pay. You can't live as well as I do. Yours beats for me too. Forget what she said. This is over between us. I love you, Ellen Mackenzie. What did her eyes tell you? It was like their words. And I can you love me as well. Drawn to you. But I'm not certain it's love. And what does your heart tell you? I'll love her to my dying breath. And I'm not in love with you, Brian Fraser. Perhaps I never was. Yours is the kind of love you hear about in legends. She's meant for you. And you for her. There's a reason she broke from me. There must be. Who hired you? Call him. Call him Mackenzie. Ellen. Brian. I never wanted to leave you like that, Brian. Or to wound you. You said you didn't love me. And I can't accept that as the truth. But Colin promised me he wouldn't harm you if I stayed away from you. Oh, then he flashed. You may tell me again that your heart has changed. Mine, hasn't he? You think if I believed you I'd be here now? No fun in cramped spaces. I love you, Ellen Mackenzie. We're the company of chickens. If memory serves. And I'm yours. Always. And forever. Whatever that means to you. May you return to me. I'm sorry. You liar. You have my heart. My body. And my soul. I never made any promises to you, Malcolm. It was all arranged. Malcolm is dead. I'm sorry. How did he do this? I killed him. He was forced to do it. Malcolm tried to stop us and would not relent. There's nothing I would not do for you. Mother has left us for a wee while. With the bothy to ourselves, then? Nothing I would not give you. It is in my powers to do so. Off with that shirt, Brian Fraser. I need to look at your wee scratch. As you wish. Your words have given me everything. Believing everything and everyone to be with me. I always believed that happiness was elusive. Never truly within reach. I never imagined it would feel like this. Which is why we must fight for it. Can we stay here forever? Never leave? No, you'll be grieving for what you've left behind. Never. You'll have no way. Your family. Me. All you've ever known. I'll remember the good and close the door on the bad. Whither thou goest, I will go. With you is where I'm meant to be. And where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people. The rest of the world seems so very far away. I am thy God. My God. Your term lasts. There are no dice. Yes, I swear to you. In blood. Perhaps we'll travel from pothy to pothy. Till we find a home. The blood of my blood. For you are my own. And I am yours. So let us call our own. We have all the riches we need right here. I need your blood.
