Villiers spots the imposter as the hood flies off the head of the rider pretending to be Maria, rides back, finds the camp, and duels with Scarlett until his own death. They then ride to a safe encampment where Pierre's friends help lead the pursuing guards astray. Before leaving the estate, Scarlett rescues Maria. Scarlett and Pierre outwit their guard and escape under cover of the wedding festivities for Maria's and Villiers' arranged marriage. Pierre and Scarlett form an immediate friendship when Pierre explains that he was forced into his new 'trade' after his family's estate was confiscated by the duke. However, Scarlett is captured and held in the dungeon with the highwayman, Pierre du Cloux. She boldly offers him money in exchange for helping her escape, but Scarlett insists on friendship as his only payment. Scarlett later slips into the bedroom at the estate where Maria is being held. Scarlett is uninterested until he learns that his own estate now belongs to Villiers. Scarlett later meets with his old friend the Friar, who warns him that the duke is appropriating property and ordering his guards to terrorize residents, who are imprisoned if they resist. Villiers arrives shortly after and arrests the remaining highwayman, but is ungrateful to Scarlett. When Maria's carriage is accosted by highwaymen, Captain Scarlett, a Frenchman returning from England, fends off the attackers.
