[water splashing]

[splashing continues]

[door opens]

[footsteps approach]

[curator] Move!

Thank you, gentlemen. Gently,
if you please.

Hmm.

[wind whistles]

[window rattles]

[breathes deeply]

Hmm.

[woman in another room coughs]

[woman] Mary!

[clanking]

[footsteps approach]

[sighs]

[door closes]Shouldn't you be out?

We could do with more shells.

Them little ammonites, tourist tut.

And driftwood.

Before I catch my death.

[woman] What are you doing?[gasps]

[church bells chiming][sighs]

[bells continue chiming]

[chattering]

[exhales]

[sighs]

[door opens][bell rings]

[door closes]

Yes.

[man] No, please,
don't let me disturb you.

- I am very content to watch you work.
- The shop's closed, sir.

It's wonderful, isn't it?

Cornu ammonis?

Ammonite.

It's a broken one.

It's still a fine specimen.

Is there something
you wanted, sir?

Sorry. Please, let meintroduce myself,
Miss Anning. Roderick Murchison.

I must confess
I'm a little in awe.

Your reputation is something l've
often heard discussed

in the Geographical Societyin London.

All boys together. Yes, well...

Quite.

But your insights,
your skills, are legendary

and I thoughtfor my
archaeological tourof the Continent,

how could I miss the
opportunity to meet you?

And here you are.

At your work.

I was under the impressionthat
fine London gentlemen

were no longer interestedin
my sea creature relics.

Fashion moved on, did it not?

Quite. I'm afraid l'm
a bit of a late starter.

And how could I
not want to meet

"The presiding deity of Lyme"?

It'd be customary for a
gentleman to write to me

to make an appointmentbefore
arriving unannounced.

- Yes, unforgivable.
- Could you not fiddle with that?

Sorry. May I introduce my wife,
Mrs. Charlotte Murchison?

Sir, as you can see,
I don't excavate larger pieces any more.

I've seen that particular
relic in the British Museum.

A complete ichthyosaurus.
Am I correct?

And that's one of yours?

It's fascinating.

I would love to purchase this
ammonite from you, but I must be honest.

What I would dearly
appreciateis the opportunity

to spend some time working
with you on the shore,

seeing what you see.

I don't conduct
guided tours any more.

I'm not a tourist, Miss Anning,
I'm a scientist, like you.

A man of the new world and
I'm here to learn all I can from you.

And, of course, I am more than
happy torecompense you for your time.

And, obviously,
as it's an inconvenience to yourself,

I would be able to pay a
premium for a private audience.

As well as the purchase of
this fine ammonite, of course.

It's not easy work.

- Good.
- I can't promise we'll find anything.

Naturally.

Very well. Splendid!

-You've no idea
what this means to me.

My friends
will be most envious.

[door closes]

[sighs]

[humming]

[continues humming]

[humming]

[door opens]

[lively string music][chattering]

- Do you have a quieter dining room?
- Yes, sir, but...

This music's a little
overwhelming for the situation.

- Couldn't we...
- Don't make a fuss.

[Roderick] What is the soup?[waiter] Hare.

I'll have the oysters.
Are they larded?

A la mode, sir.

Perfect. And the beef. Rare.

[waiter] Very good,
sir. Braised celery, boiled potatoes.

Pouring cream for the
potatoes. Would you bring your wine list?

No, wait. Just bring me
a bottle of the claret.

[waiter] We have the '26 or '35.

[Roderick] The '35.

And my wife will have some
plain white fish. Baked. No sauce.

[sighs]

[mother coughing]

[blows]

[breathes deeply]

[sighs]

[animal squeals in the distance]

[Roderick sighs]

It's not the right time
to make another baby.

[blows candle]

[water splashes]

Miss Anning.

Sorry. Am I late?

The old woman
in your shop... My mother.

Of course.
I do beg your pardon.

Your mother said
I would find you here.

It was a bright morning,
and the tide was out. I couldn't wait.

Yes, of course. I just
didn't want to miss anything.

Well, you're here now.

Yes.

[clears throat]

Nothing.

Beef.

Limestone.

Calcite crystal. And this?

Look here.

There is
a little ammonite inside,

but that dimple tells
me it will be crushed.

You could chip it out,
but it won't be any good.

Oh, that's nice.

Coprolite. Very nice.

I'm not familiar
with this type.

If you look very carefully,

you can see tiny fish bones.

Those little black flecks...

they're scales.

That'll polish up very nice.

Thank you.

- But what is it?
- Fossilized feces.

Pardon? Yes, Mr. Murchison.

Shit.

The tide will be coming in
soon. We ought to be getting back.

[footsteps approach]

[door opens]

Charlotte,
look what I foundwith Miss Anning.

[door closes]Charlotte.

- What are you doing?
- Taking you out of this stinking room.

- I don't want to.
- I'm afraid that's no longer a choice.

[sighs]

We can't continue like this,
Charlotte. You're like a shadow.

It simply won't do.

It's madness for me to expect you

to be well enough to accompany me abroad.

It seems you need more time for
your convalescence. Roddy...

Lyme appears to be
the perfect place for you.

[man shouts in the distance]

This expedition is extensive.

You were prescribed rest.

Sea bathing. I don't like the water.

Little stimulation.

I want my bright, funny,
clever wife back.

I don't want to be alone.

Is there something else?

My wife, Charlotte,

she hasn't been
at all well of late.

She suffers...

Well, it's
mild melancholia, perhaps.

The doctor prescribed
taking the sea air,

but it has been a little slow.

I have arranged for her
to stay on in Lyme,

and although I'm reassured
that she will be well cared for,

she would be alone.

I was thinking...
hoping, really,

what a wonderful opportunity
it would be for her

to walk out with you.

Walk out? Yes.

Walk the shoreline with you.

Learn from you. I'm not looking
for an apprentice.

No, of course not. I am in no position

to spend my days
caring for an invalid.

No, and...
it wouldn't require you to.

You showed me such courtesy yesterday,
sharing your knowledge,

and I was hoping that you might be
able to afford my wife the same generosity.

You'll help give her
an interest, as it were.

And it would only be for...
four weeks.

Perhaps five.

But no more than six.

[knocking at door]

Excuse me, Mrs. Murchison,
but Mr. Murchison instructed me

to help you dressfor your day out today.

[sighs] I'm not going.

I'm very sorry, Mrs. Murchison,

but Mr. Murchison was most insistent

I get you up out of bed and
dressed immediately.

[clattering]

Please don't throw anything else at me,
miss.

[knocks on door]

[door creaks][bell rings]

[waves crash]

[hammer hits rock]

[sighs]

What is it?

Something. Nothing.

Shouldn't you excavate it?

I mean,
isn't that what you do?

My husband said that's what
you're meant to show me.

Let me be clear. I don't want you here.

Your husband paid
me to take you out with me.

Doesn't matter to me if
you wanna be here or not.

But please don't question or presume
to tell me how I conduct my business.

I came to get help with my
illness. To bathe and to walk.

Not work like a navvy. Bathe?

Then may I suggest you rid me of your
bad company and go get better bathing.

- My husband...
- Your husband left you.

There looks to be fuck
allwrong with you to me.

[wind howling]

[creaking]

[man] That'll do, boy!

[knocking at door]

[yelps]

[soft footsteps]

[sighs]

[blows out candle, coughs]

[breathes heavily]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[knocks on door]

[bell rings]

[groans]

Mother!

Mother! Fuck!

[whimpers]

[shouts] Mother!

[Molly] You're new.

Yes.

Foreign?

Uh... yes.

There appears to be a high fever.

Did she take a chill yesterday?

Get wet in
the rain, perhaps? I don't know.

Maybe she went bathing.

Oh, yes, water torture.

[sighs] She'll need care.

Night and day. I'm not a nurse, Doctor.

I barely know the woman.

Hmm. Um...

Yes.

Miss Anning,

it is a woman's position to
care for a fellow sister, is it not?

Make sure you keep her warm,
but not too hot.

And cold compresses should
help relieve the fever.

I'll write to her husband
and send for her things.

And please do call for me
if her condition changes.

I'll bid you a good afternoon.

[door opens]

How long is she intending
on being in residence?

You should send her home...
to that London.

It's not our responsibility.

She might die, Mother.

How are we to survive while
you play lady's maid?

We'll manage.

[Molly] If she is to
be accommodated in my home,

with constant care,
and you turfed out of your bed,

that husband of hers
needs to pay more!

[whimpers]

[sighs] No.

[whimpers]

No.

I didn't...

I didn't see her...

in the ground.

It was cold.

Cold.

[whimpers]

[breathes heavily]

[groans]

[whimpers]

[birds chirping][insect buzzes]

[chirping]

[birds singing]

[woman grunts]

[clears throat]Mary.

Hello.

I need to purchase
a jar of salve, please.

Salve?

It's not your ma again?
Poor Molly. Is she worse?

Do you want to come in?

Just the salve.

You look well.

I like your hair longer.
It suits you.

I haven't seen you in church
for some time.

Well, I've had my work.

Mary, work on Sunday?
Will God forgive you?

[coins clink]

You know you can
always ask me for help.

I don't think that'd be such a good idea.

I came for the salve,
not a sermon.

I understand.

Keep your coins.
They're hard earned.

Mary...

You sure you don't want
to come in?

[gate slams]

Lightning Mary.

Plus ça change.

[exhales]

Hmm.

[sighs]

[stops drawing]

Sorry.

All very good.

Miss Anning,
I must commend you.

I did not expect
to see Mrs. Murchison

looking quiteas radiant as she does.

Really. Wonderful work.

Good.

Excellent.

A good pot of strong broth.

Keep using the salve,

gentle exercise and sea air.

Try not to excite yourself,
Mrs. Murchison.

Good.

I will call again.

Thank you, Miss Anning.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[seagulls cry]

[sighs]

[plays a few notes]

[plays discordant notes]

You're up.

I was thinking perhaps we might
go out onto the beach this morning.

Just take the air.

If you think I'm strong enough.

Do you think
you're strong enough?

I do, I think.

Good.[chuckles]

[bell rings]

[door closes]

[waves crash]

[seagulls cry]

[chattering]

Can I help?

You could scrape these.

[door closes]

Maybe you couldget some coal.

Outside.

[grunts]

[breathes heavily]

[chuckles]

[sobs]

[coal clatters to the floor]

[loud sobbing]

[sobbing continues]

[inhales, exhales deeply]

[sighs]

That looks difficult.

Dull.

Cheap tourist fodder.

Can I try?

Use this...

to stick them down.

This.

You look tired.

I always look tired.

You look after melike your child.

You don't have any?

What a lot of questions.

I might have preferred it
when you were unconscious.

No.

No children.

I'm sorry.

For what?

My mother had ten.

I remember six of them dying.

And two before me.

Eight babies dead.

Each one taking something
of her when they went.

I have my work.

I didn't need children as well.

You can't keep sleeping
in that chair.

You need your rest. I've
taken your bed for too long.

Did you want to go
back to the hotel?

[Charlotte] No.

Unless you want me to.

No.

We should share the bed.

[sighs]

[loud scraping]

[bell rings]

[door opens]

What are you doing?

I wanted to help. They're mine.

My babies.

[door opens]

Something wrong?

Um...

Dr. Lieberson has come
to see you.

Oh, no. Sorry.

More a social visit.

My mission was to give thisto you,
Miss Anning.

It's an invitation.

A musical evening.

I thought after all your
work with Mrs. Murchison,

you might like a little treat.

What about Mrs. Murchison?

Pardon? I'm not sure I understand.

Well, Mrs. Murchison appreciates
music much more than I do.

Where's her invitation?

I would naturally beaccompanied
by Mrs. Murchisonin her own right.

Do you not think? Yes.

I just thought given Mrs.
Murchison's condition,

this might prove a
little... overstimulating.

Rubbish.

As her doctor,
I would strongly advise against it.

And as her friend, I disagree.

Dr. Lieberson, I will
happily attend your recital.

But with Mrs. Murchison.

So be it. Excellent.

I will see you both
this evening, then.

[sniffs]

[Molly] Mary!

[slurps]

[sniffs]

[horse-drawn carriage
approaches]

[door opens]

[chattering]

Absolutely...

[laughs]

[both laugh]

Excuse me.

Miss Anning.

So sorry for neglecting you.

Let me introduce you
to some people.

I just need to...

Where's the...

Oh, of course. It's right through the back.

[laughter]

After you.

[chattering]

[tunes up cello]

[bell rings]

Ladies, gentlemen, new friends.

Please do take your seats
as we are about to begin.

[chattering]

[woman] Do sit here.

This is marvelous.

[chuckles]

[chattering]

[talking softly]

[cello music plays]

[soft laughter]

[chattering]

[chattering continues]

[women laugh]

[woman laughs]

[rain pouring]

[thunder]

[fire crackling]

[footsteps approaching]

You left me.

What are you writing?

May I see?

Please, don't be silly.

Let me see.

Please.

"Is it that I am all alone?"

Yet in my dreams,
a form I view.

That thinks on me
and loves me, too.

I start,
and when the vision's flown,

"I weep and I am all alone."

You were the most
fascinating person there tonight.

And I think
the most beautiful.

[seagulls cry]

Mary, look what's fallen down.

It's the rock thing.

It's too big.

Impossible to move.

You're wasting your time.

[Charlotte grunts]

[both grunt]

[groans]

[chuckles]

What is it?

See here? This is a rowof small vertebrae.

And these flatter sidesare where
the ribswould have been attached.

But these ones have
a certain shape,

which tells methey would
have beennear the skull.

And that's good?

It would be very good, yes.

That one was special.

I was only 11 years old.

Days it took to dig it out, clean it.

I'd like to see it.

It's in The British Museum

with its fancy made-up name.Ichthyosaurus.

We couldn't keep it. It was a year's
worth of food, rent and clothing.

That's such a poor drawing.

A child's hand.

I like it.

I'm pleased my rock
was worth the work.

[fossil thuds on the table]

You found the head.

Beautiful.

We can go tomorrow
to find the rest of it.

Perhaps.

I should help.

Go to bed. Won't that
wait till the morning?

Father would turn in
his grave if he thought

I'd gone to bed without
cleaning his tools.

Good night.

[exhales]

[Mary breathes heavily]

[breathes heavily]

[gasps]

[Charlotte moans gently]

[clears throat]

[coughs]

[door opens][man] Good morning.

[bell rings]

[door closes]

[waves lap]

[seagulls cry]

[laughs]

[Charlotte moans]

[Charlotte] Say it again.[Mary] Hmm.

Please.

There was a young woman
named Sally.

Who loved
the occasional dally.

She sat on the lap
Of a well-endowed chap.

And she said, "Ooh,
you're right up my alley."

[chuckles]

[piano music playing]

[music stops]

[Mary] It was something like
a sea lizard with fins.

It was probably six feet long.
[man] - Goodness.

[Mary] It's one of the
best l've found in a long time.

[man] It will
require some thought.

£22?

What price would you
suggest then, sir?

I'm not in the market
for haggling.

It's a stunning example, isn't it?

In my humble opinion, the physical
effort Miss Anning goes through

to procure such a specimen would
make the price tag seem quite reasonable.

Then there is the painstaking
hours spent working on the specimen

to reveal it
in all its beauty.

Charlotte... On top of
this sheer hard work,

let us not forget the
knowledge and years of skill.

Miss Anning brings
to her tasks.

Without this,
and to the untrainedor ill-formed eye,

these would simply beun-investigated
lumpsof stone and rock.

Why do you think
the scientific community

places such importance
on this work?

Miss Anning informs usnot only of our past,
but of our present.

With all this in mind,
how would you put a price on this, sir?

I see.

[Molly coughing]

[sniffs]

Sit down,
Mrs. Anning. It's mushrooms for supper.

Fancy.

Sit down. There's plenty.

The shop won't run itself.

Close it, then.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Correspondence came for you,
Mrs. Murchison.

[sighs]

Thank you.

[door closes]

Shh.

[exhales]

[moans softly]

[exhales deeply]

[breathes heavily]

[moans]

[breathes heavily]

[both breathe heavily]

[horse pants]

[horse snorts]

[Mary] It's warm.

Last year at this time we had snow,
and now it's nice.

[horse snorts]

[door closes]

I had to start
the babies on my own.

I think I might go to my bed.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[door opens]

What are you doing?

Pricing up this thing.

- [loud crash]
- [Molly whimpers]

[Molly breathes heavily]

[Mary grunts]

[sighs]

[bell rings]

We're closed.

[Elizabeth] It's me, Mary. Can I come in?

[tea pours]

I'm so sorry, Mary.

Molly was...

a perspicacious woman.

Her strength to carry on after
your father died was admirable.

Tell me, have you been
in correspondence

with your Mrs. Murchison
recently?

She's clever.

And funny.

I very much
enjoyed her company.

It pleases me you've struck
up a friendship together.

I know I hurt you terribly,
and I'm deeply sorry for that.

[sighs softly]

I just wasn't sure
I could live up to you.

Or your expectations of me.

A small side step
could curtail it completely.

I wasn't the enemy,
but it often felt like I was.

I tried.

No.

I don't think you did.

Not really.

You seemed to do everything
you could to be distant.

Eventually, I just...

stopped trying.

It seems your Mrs. Murchison
has been able to...

unlock something in you
that I couldn't.

[sighs]

[doorbell rings]

Tradesmen's entrance is around
the side. Go all the way back.

I'm here as a guest of
Mrs. Charlotte Murchison.

Miss Anning?

Yes.

I beg your pardon,
miss. Please, do come this way.

Please wait here, miss.

Thank you.

[clocks ticking]

[clocks chime loudly]

[chuckles]

[Charlotte]That's just the maid.

Thank you, Anne.
That will be all.

[door closes]Oh, Mary! My Mary!

I can't believe you're
here. How was the journey?

I wish you would have
let me send a carriage.

[sighs] It feels
a very long way from Lyme.

[chuckles]

Oh. I had it all planned out.

We'd have tea, and then I'd show you,

but I just don't think I can
wait any longer. Come on!

Close your eyes. You must close
your eyes or it will ruin everything.

I don't think I like
surprises.[chuckles]

You can open them.

It's yours.

Mine? Yes.

To stay the night?

Well, yes, but no.

Also yours to move into.

To live here with me.[chuckles]

Here, I thought you could
put your mother's figurines.

And here you can write
your journal.

Such a good light, isn't it?

- But I have my home.
- And in here...

They're for you. I had
them made just for you.

Feel this one.

Oh, and one last thing.

My room. So we'll be next to each other,
always.

[chuckles]

You've thought
of everything. I hope so.

I didn't want you to worry about anything.

Well, say something.

-Sorry. I really shouldn't... Mary.

I wanted to see my relicin the
British Museum today, so I should...

We'll see it later
once we've settled you in.

I feel... I feel I'm at a
great disadvantage.

Pardon?

I feel I've been misled.

I don't think I have... I
was invited for a visit.

And now it seems I've been
hoodwinked in some way.

Mary...

Why did you not
mention all this in your letter?

I wanted to see
the look on your face.

You presumed I'd be fitted into your life,
here,

like one of my relics in
your fine glass case.

No, of course not. Will you label me, too?

No, that's not what I want.
That's not what I intended.

I want this to be different.

Our different.

This must make
your husband very happy.

- Who cares?
- Oh, please don't make fun of me.

Roddy is content with
his life. Very content.

And because of you, he now has a proper
interest that takes up most of his time.

You make it sound so neat,
like I planned it.

Of course not.

Please,
why are you doing this?

I don't want to go back
to the life I had before you.

What about my life, Charlotte? My work?

I can't bear to think of you suffering
out on those beaches in all weathers.

And now you'll be free
to do your important work,

your scientific work.

You don't understand me.

No!

Your proposition makes me feel
like some fancy bird in a gilded cage.

[sighs]

I need to find lodgings for tonight.

I wish you'd told me before.

I could have saved
the boat fare.

Mary... Mary!

[chattering and laughter
in the distance]
