The Pillars of the Earth Ep.7 - New Beginnings

In Saint Denis, France Jack (played by Eddie Redmayne) learns of Euclidean geometry 

which provides him with the key to building a stone structure that can withstand its own weight. 

Aliena (Hayley Atwell) with the baby have been searching for him and find him there.

They decide to return to Kingsbridge but while waiting for transport in Cherbourg he 

discovers his father's family and learns that his father was on the White Ship that burned 

and killed Prince William, the heir to Henry I's throne and King Stephen's predecessor.

Philip (Matthew MacFadyen) refuses the new position Waleran (Ian McShane) offers him.  

Jack returns to Kingsbridge. He wants to re-start the building of the cathedral, and bring a 

statue, the weeping Madonna with him, to collect money for the cathedral building.

Waleran and the Hamleighs plan another attack against Kingsbridge, but this

time the residents are prepared, Jacks wall fends Williams attack. (IMDB)
