[MARIAN]
Inner voices
Keeping me awake
Will I ever sleep again
Reassessing
Everything I've done
Choices that I can't explain

All for Laura
This is what I prayed
All for Laura
Have I betrayed you?

With our old life
Ever out of reach
Look at what I've led you to
God forgive me
Look at what I've done
Look how I protected you

All for Laura
Shouldn't I have known?
I know one thing
We are alone now

I sent away the man
The man that we could trust
The only man that we both love
All for Laura
Was it really you
Who I was thinking of?
All for Laura
But at the start
Were you foremost in my heart?

All for Laura
That's how I'll live
Till I save you
Till you forgive me

I'll dedicate my life
I swear upon my soul
I'll find a way to set you free
All for Laura
Till my dying breath
Long as you're in need of me
I will somehow
Learn to be strong

I will live
To right
This wrong

(Anne Catherick appears behind her and overhears what she says)

[ANNE]
I will help you
[MARIAN]
Oh!

[ANNE]
I can help you both
He must never win again

[MARIAN]
It's you!

[ANNE]
I can trust you
And I have a way
We can stop this evil man

[MARIAN]
It's amazing
I see her face!

[ANNE]
I have come here
To save your sister

[MARIAN]
Oh, thank you!
[ANNE]
Tomorrow, at this time
Bring her here to me
But promise that you'll be alone
I've a secret
And when it is told
It will surely bring him down

[MARIAN]
Tell me now, please!

[ANNE]
Only for Laura...

(Anne disappears.)

(Suddenly Fosco appears. Marian jumps.)

[FOSCO]
Miss Halcombe! Forgive me. I didn't mean to startle you. I saw your room was empty: I thought, you must be out here counting your English sheep! Dico bene?

[MARIAN]
I couldn't sleep

[FOSCO]
Wandering about in the dark—and without the aid of a coat! Tut, tut. You English ladies are so reckless with your midnight flitting! You must allow me to accompany you home

[MARIAN]
Oh, really, there's no need

[FOSCO]
You're shivering, Miss Halcombe. Per piacere—take my arm

[MARIAN]
Thank you

(They leave together)
