0:00:28 > 0:00:30Where are the boys, then, Joany?

0:00:32 > 0:00:33I don't know.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41This were definitely the place.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Well, maybe they were having us on.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47They'll be around here somewhere.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Oh, come on, Joan. Let's go back.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50What if we're caught?

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Come on. Don't be such a baby!

0:00:54 > 0:00:55I'll wait here for you!

0:01:00 > 0:01:03BIRDS CAW

0:01:08 > 0:01:11LOUD CAWING, FEATHERS FLAPPING

0:01:22 > 0:01:25LOUD SCREAMING

0:01:25 > 0:01:26SHE SCREAMS

0:01:26 > 0:01:29BOTH CONTINUE SCREAMING

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Master Fitzwilliam!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Come back, Master Fitzwilliam!

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Master Fitzwilliam! Will you...

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Master Fitzwilliam.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09Master Fitzwilliam.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Oh, I'm going to be in so much trouble for this.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14HE CHUCKLES

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Mama!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I'm sorry, madam. Master Fitzwilliam just...slipped away,

0:02:22 > 0:02:24and you so busy with the ball...

0:02:24 > 0:02:26It's no trouble at all.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Main dining room, quickly.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29Yes, sir.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Bidwell, you'll have time for the silver?

0:02:32 > 0:02:37It will be polished to perfection, madam, down to the last fork.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39And the fires in the bedrooms, Mrs Reynolds?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41They're being prepared as we speak.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43How many guests do we have staying?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Well, we shall have need of all of our rooms.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50The six-hour candles, madam.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52All of them the best wax.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Ah, the chaperones' chairs. Yes, we ran short last year, Mrs Reynolds.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58I've ordered extra, madam.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Serve the brandy slowly, Stoughton,

0:03:00 > 0:03:03we don't want the good ladies unable to walk to their carriages

0:03:03 > 0:03:04at the end of the evening -

0:03:04 > 0:03:06our bedrooms are all spoken for.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07SHE CHUCKLES

0:03:19 > 0:03:21CHATTER

0:03:28 > 0:03:30CLAP OF HANDS

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Madam, the food for tomorrow night.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39We have white soup.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Ah, delicious.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Wild goose.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47There will be some orange sauce prepared to go with that.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Game pies.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Almond faggots. Millefeuille. Spiced biscuits,

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Prince of Wales biscuits,

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Duke of Clarence biscuits and Duchess of York biscuits.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Mrs Reilly's ghost! In the woods!

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- What on earth..?!- I saw her, ma'am. - Mrs Reilly's ghost!

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Vicious-looking, she was.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Real as you standing there!

0:04:09 > 0:04:11What utter nonsense!

0:04:11 > 0:04:14What will Mrs Darcy think of you pair?

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Edith, can you take these two into the pantry?

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Give them a thimble-full of brandy each.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'll deal with you in a minute.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23SHE SOBS

0:04:25 > 0:04:29I must apologise, madam. They're very silly girls.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Who's Mrs Reilly?

0:04:33 > 0:04:37It's an old wives' tale, madam.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Well, I'm sure a dose of your good sense will do the trick, Mrs Reynolds.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Well done.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Thank you all.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49(May I?)

0:04:49 > 0:04:50- Of course, madam.- Thank you.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Georgiana.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Expecting someone? - No.- Excuse me, madam.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Not really.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07LOUD CRASH

0:05:07 > 0:05:12Oh, dear God! How can a man think with such a racket going on?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Could you please ask them to stop?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17That wouldn't be helpful, Fitzwilliam, dearest...

0:05:17 > 0:05:22It is a fine Pemberley tradition for the master of the house to be irritable on the eve of the ball.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25And for the lady to do everything in her power to assuage him.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Quite.- Perhaps some traditions need updating.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33They've worked perfectly well so far.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38How dreary that all good things must come to an end.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Really?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52SHE CHUCKLES

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Shall I disappear from your sight? - A few hours would be perfect.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00Sister?

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Mr Darcy?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yes?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Not a moment longer.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07I shouldn't bear it.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10You ARE only human. SHE GIGGLES

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Master Fitzwilliam!

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Ah...

0:06:13 > 0:06:15I shall take the little imp with me.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Ya-harr!

0:06:16 > 0:06:21# A-hunting we will go A-hunting we will go... #

0:06:23 > 0:06:25WOMEN LAUGH

0:06:25 > 0:06:29At least let me saddle the horses for you, sir.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30I'm sure Wilkinson can manage.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Sir.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35Although you did have a fall last week, sir.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Yes. That wasn't his fault.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Look, you've trained him incredibly well, Bidwell,

0:06:41 > 0:06:45but it is time to, um...hand over the reins, as it were.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49I'd have preferred my own son for the job.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Yes, yes, I know.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54A Bidwell's always been head coachman at Pemberley.

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Good Lord hadn't seen fit.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57How is Will?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Ah...

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Mrs Darcy's planning on visiting the cottage later, to see him.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06However, in the meantime, she does have a great need of you today.

0:07:06 > 0:07:07Sir.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11You're a good man, Bidwell.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Now, then.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Foxes the length and breadth of Derbyshire will be

0:07:20 > 0:07:23quaking in their dens at the mere sight of you on this little fellow.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57No-one's ever spoken to my brother as freely as you do.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00You've brought such laughter to Pemberley, Elizabeth.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03I want that kind of ease for myself.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Do you have someone in mind?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Well, I'd never marry without my brother's approval,

0:08:10 > 0:08:11especially after...

0:08:11 > 0:08:15Darcy wants only for your happiness, Georgiana. We both do.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Even if my choice were a surprising one?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Ah, Colonel Fitzwilliam.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26He's early.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Were you expecting someone else?

0:08:31 > 0:08:32No, no-one.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37- I should go and greet my cousin.- Mm.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53GEORGIANA IN DISTANCE: I believe so...

0:08:55 > 0:08:57You must be looking forward to the ball.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Yes. Yes, we all are.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06I'm not much of a man for dancing.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08CONVERSATION CONTINUES IN DISTANCE

0:09:16 > 0:09:19These are beautiful. Very beautiful this year.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24And...the white bell, perhaps?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Two dozen of those.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Madam.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Sorry - you scared me.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm sorry. I wanted to catch you alone.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Could you spare me a moment?

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Of course. You came through the woods, Colonel?

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Er...no. I came the usual way.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's about...Georgiana.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52With your keen powers of observation you will have noticed my...

0:09:52 > 0:09:54new-found appreciation of her.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57With the death of my older brother, and the duties

0:09:57 > 0:10:00and responsibilities that being the first son brings...

0:10:00 > 0:10:01And the freedom.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Of course.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07..my mind has most naturally turned to marriage, and...

0:10:07 > 0:10:10as I am to return to the Army soon...

0:10:11 > 0:10:16Well, has she...spoken to you about me?

0:10:16 > 0:10:20She always speaks of you in terms of affection.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Of course, but I... I imagine you to be her main confidante.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Only when she has something to confide.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29I admit she has given me no specific grounds for hope,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31but I have known her since she was born, and...

0:10:31 > 0:10:35well, perhaps for a woman it is proper that love should come

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- after marriage, rather than before it.- I'm not sure about that.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43I take it that George Wickham is...

0:10:43 > 0:10:45never received at Pemberley.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Of course not.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Goodness, I'm surprised you should even ask.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Well, so his attempted seduction of Georgiana has remained secret?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57We can hardly bear to think of it, let alone mention his name.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Of course. Forgive me. I shouldn't have mentioned it, Elizabeth.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03SHE CLEARS THROAT

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Have you spoken of your feelings to Georgiana yet?- No. I wanted to

0:11:06 > 0:11:08speak to you first, and ask Darcy's permission, of course.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12- SHE LAUGHS - Georgiana's old enough to make her own decision, Colonel.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18If Georgiana were to agree to marry you, then...

0:11:18 > 0:11:23naturally, I would fully share my husband's pleasure at the news.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27But perhaps it is best to wait until after the ball.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Of course.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Thank you.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Don't wait for me. I'll walk back.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Good morning, Mrs Bidwell.- Madam.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Louisa's just back from helping my eldest in Birmingham, madam.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07Madam.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Sit down.- She's brought the new baby home with her for a while,

0:12:11 > 0:12:12to give Sarah some respite.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- What's his name?- Georgie.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'm sure she appreciates the help, but she must miss him terribly.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22We can't keep him much longer.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Will frets ever so when he cries.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28- How is Will? - He has good days and bad days.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Will?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Hello. Don't get up.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41- I just wanted to see how you're getting along with those books.- Ah.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Robinson Crusoe was my favourite. - Yes, I thought it might be.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48You shouldn't have troubled yourself, ma'am, not on the eve of the ball.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Oh, Mrs Reynolds has it all under control.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Well, tell her to not bring the ice in too early.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59She did that one year and there was water everywhere.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01You can tell her yourself next year.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05You don't believe that, though.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06William.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Will...

0:13:15 > 0:13:18For all my fine clothes, there's...

0:13:24 > 0:13:27There's nothing I can do about what's happening to you now.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33But I offer you what I can...

0:13:34 > 0:13:36..which is my friendship.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39Wait!

0:14:50 > 0:14:53SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:15:21 > 0:15:22SHE HISSES

0:15:28 > 0:15:31SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:15:42 > 0:15:43You're sure you're all right?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45- I'm fine.- That madwoman could've attacked you.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49No, no. She was frightened, I'm sure of it. I'm fine.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Mr Alveston, such a pleasure to see you.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Well, thank you for the invitation.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20I hope you don't mind my coming early.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22I thought I'd accompany Mr and Mrs Bennet.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24What news of Highmarten? How is Jane, and Bingley?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27They're well, and send their regards.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28Miss Georgiana.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Henry.

0:16:30 > 0:16:31Mr Alveston.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Thank you for your letter.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39And you yours.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Should have brought my special pillow...

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Oh, what a dreadful road you have, Lizzy - it's riddled with potholes.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Mother, I had no idea.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50- I'm in pieces. - Oh, don't fret, Lizzy.- Father.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53You'll find the road surface miraculously smoothed itself out

0:16:53 > 0:16:54as soon as our carriage passed.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56You do vex me, Mr Bennet.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Oh, isn't it big. I always forget.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- DARCY: Welcome back to Pemberley, madam.- I would've come sooner, but

0:17:01 > 0:17:04I've had social engagements to attend to.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Longbourn's quite a whirlwind in its own right, you know.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13I was told to give YOU this,

0:17:13 > 0:17:16but it's the last favour I'm doing for you, Wickham.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17I want no part in this.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Denny, please. This one last thing and I promise I'll be done with it.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23I'm not playing this game.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25It's been deceit from start to finish with you.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28You're selfish, utterly selfish! You know nothing, do you,

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- of women or how they truly feel! - Keep your voice down.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33Lydia.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47CLOCK CHIMES

0:17:47 > 0:17:50The apothecary, you see, agreed with me - did he not, Lizzy -

0:17:50 > 0:17:52that the fig is quite the best thing.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54THEY LAUGH

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Wonderful. Shall we?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Where is Mr Bennet when I need him? He was here a minute ago.

0:17:59 > 0:18:00Mr Bennet?

0:18:02 > 0:18:03Mr Bennet?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06May I speak to you in private?

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Mr Bennet?

0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Unless there's someone who has a greater claim.- No.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13No, I'd like that very much.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Later, perhaps.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Of course.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Mr Bennet? Mr Bennet?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Mr Bennet?

0:19:28 > 0:19:29What have you found?

0:19:29 > 0:19:34I have found these rather austere pictures of this castle.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37I suddenly realised I think it belongs to Colonel Fitzwilliam.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Shall I ask him?

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Well, why not?

0:19:42 > 0:19:43Colonel?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Isn't this your castle?

0:19:46 > 0:19:47It is.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50Is that the North Sea?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Indeed. In rough weather, the waves have been known to touch

0:19:53 > 0:19:55- the castle walls.- Ooh.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58It must be cold in winter.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00We have no complaints.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Or rather, only from the occasional soft Londoner,

0:20:03 > 0:20:06too used to skulking in a corridor or office.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10The atmosphere can get chilly in the Old Bailey too, sometimes.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13I hear you're something of a radical down there.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16I like to think there's always room for improvement.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17We've seen what sudden shake-ups

0:20:17 > 0:20:19can lead to over the water, haven't we, Darcy?

0:20:19 > 0:20:20Yes, terrible business...

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Barbarity, no less. And now Bonaparte's threatening our shores.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27I'm no supporter of tyranny, sir, in any shape or form.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30CLOCK CHIMES

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Mr Darcy, would you excuse me if I went for an evening ride?

0:20:32 > 0:20:34At this hour, Colonel?

0:20:34 > 0:20:36I sleep ill without fresh air.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Good night.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Good night.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44A good ride, Colonel. Although it will be getting dark soon -

0:20:44 > 0:20:47I certainly don't envy you the ride back.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50How fortunate, then, that you are not required to come too.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Shall we?- Yes.- Let's.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Driver! Stop!

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Whoa, whoa, whoa.- Stop the carriage.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19- You're on your own, Wickham. I'm finished with it.- Denny...

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Don't be a bloody fool!

0:21:22 > 0:21:26Wickham? Wickham, come back here this instant.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Wickham, don't just leave me here on my own!

0:21:30 > 0:21:32HORSE WHINNIES Sh.

0:21:32 > 0:21:33Ah!

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Lizzy? A portrait of dear Wickham.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41It was in a little cupboard in our room.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44The lock was very feeble, you know. One tug and it quite gave.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48But you're a dark horse, Darcy. Why a picture of him?

0:21:48 > 0:21:50His father was my father's steward.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53We grew up together. It was my father who had the portrait done.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54I forgot we even had it.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57So handsome. Isn't he?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59He's married to Lydia, my youngest.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01But perhaps you know the name?

0:22:01 > 0:22:03No, I'm afraid not.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07Oh. He's quite a national hero since he fought the French in Ireland.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Music! We should have music.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Georgiana, delight us with your lovely playing.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14If Mr Alveston will accompany me?

0:22:14 > 0:22:18Oh, no. Er, please don't make me sing.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Why don't I help you choose a dance?

0:22:27 > 0:22:31Somewhere inside, I'm still a young girl in love with a redcoat.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33PIANO BEGINS

0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's such a shame they're not invited to the ball, Lizzy.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37SHE SIGHS

0:22:37 > 0:22:40I really don't see the harm, and Lydia does so love a dance.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Please save me from our guests.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Oh, I can't.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54I was the best dancer in the county, you know -

0:22:54 > 0:22:56it won't do to outshine the youth at my age.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Georgiana has two suitors vying for her hand.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04The Colonel wishes to speak to you.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07He'd be a fine match.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09She must marry for love, Fitzwilliam.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11I wouldn't wish for anything...

0:23:11 > 0:23:12less.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Good God. What's that man thinking? He'll have it over.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19WOMAN SCREAMS REPEATEDLY

0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Are we expecting anyone else tonight?- No.- Stoughton!

0:23:26 > 0:23:29WOMAN CONTINUES SCREAMING

0:23:36 > 0:23:38WOMAN CONTINUES SCREAMING

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Oh, God, help!

0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Lydia?!- Oh, God! Oh, God!

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- What's happened, Lydia?! What is it? - LYDIA PANTS

0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Dead!- Dead?

0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Oh, my, heart. Who's dead? Who's...? - Sit her down!

0:23:50 > 0:23:52I'm trying. Someone fetch some wine!

0:23:52 > 0:23:53LYDIA CONTINUES TO PANT

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Is someone in danger? Lydia!

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Lydia.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01SHE GASPS

0:24:01 > 0:24:03SHE SOBS

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Wickham is shot, Papa. I know it.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09He's dying in the woods. Please, help him, someone!

0:24:09 > 0:24:10You saw this?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13I heard it! Well, don't just stand there - do something!

0:24:13 > 0:24:16You must tell us the facts as you know them. Lydia?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Lydia!

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Madam, are you all right?

0:24:19 > 0:24:22A spasm, in my side. Strange flutterings.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Don't worry about me.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25What happened, Lydia?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28We were driving through the woods, to Pemberley -

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Wickham, Captain Denny and I.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32They were both angry with one another.

0:24:32 > 0:24:36Captain Denny banged for the coachman to stop, and just went off.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Wickham shouted at him too, and he jumped out also.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41How could he do such a thing? Then...

0:24:41 > 0:24:42Shots.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44SHE PANTS

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Go! Go! Hurry up!

0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Am I never to get that man out of my life?- My love...

0:24:58 > 0:25:02I'm sorry. Go back inside and look after your sister. It will be fine.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04HORSE NEIGHS

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Do I know you?

0:25:10 > 0:25:12George Pratt, sir - coachman at the King's Arms.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Yes, of course. Did you hear shots fired in the woods?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I did, sir. Two of them.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19What were you doing there?

0:25:19 > 0:25:21The lady was coming to the ball, as I understand it -

0:25:21 > 0:25:23a jolly surprise, she said.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28We'll need you to take us back to the place.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31I don't know, sir - the horses won't take it. They're terrified as it is.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Your job is to get them under control, and do as I say.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Is that understood?- Yes, sir.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36What's the matter?

0:25:38 > 0:25:39You'd better get down.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44- SHE WHIMPERS - It'll help.- Let me.

0:25:45 > 0:25:46Oh.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49I'm the one to calm her.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Bidwell, Alveston.- Yes, sir? - We need to organise...

0:25:52 > 0:25:56Lydia, we must try to remain positive, my dear,

0:25:56 > 0:25:58and hope at least that he died in a duel.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01SHE SOBS LOUDLY

0:26:01 > 0:26:02It's such a noble way to die!

0:26:04 > 0:26:06The stable lads should all still be here.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08- We're mounting a search. - Then I'll come with you.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11It'll be cold and dark, sir - probably uncomfortable.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12Mr Bennet, come along - you're needed!

0:26:12 > 0:26:14LYDIA CONTINUES SOBBING

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Please.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19We'll need ropes, lanterns, blankets, a flask of brandy...

0:26:19 > 0:26:20Stoughton will help.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Make sure Mr Darcy's horse is saddled and ready. Gather some men!

0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Sir.- Allow me to come too, sir.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27You're our guest,

0:26:27 > 0:26:31- and it would assure me to know you're here with the our ladies. - Yes, of course.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32LYDIA GASPS

0:26:32 > 0:26:33My trunk!

0:26:33 > 0:26:35What is it?

0:26:35 > 0:26:36Get it out of the carriage.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39My ball gown will be quite creased.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43Oh, I do hope it's the cream satin - it will suit your pallor.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Oh, palpitations! Do not make me speak.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49Mrs Reynolds, fetch Wilkinson and call for Dr McFee.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Yes, Mr Darcy.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55With your permission, sir, I think the doctor should administer Lydia a calming draught.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Yes. Excellent thought, Darcy.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01But perhaps he might prepare one for Mrs Bennet first.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Excellent thought.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08You've forgotten the ropes! They could be down a gully.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Everything in readiness, Bidwell? - Almost, sir.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14This is quite an expedition you're mounting for one hysterical woman, Darcy.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Just in case.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Let's hope we're both overreacting.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22HORSE NEIGHS

0:27:23 > 0:27:24Lead on!

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Whoa, girls. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- HORSES NEIGH - Sh, sh.

0:27:48 > 0:27:49Sh.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Is this the place?

0:27:51 > 0:27:53That's the oak tree on the left.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55This is the path they took, here.

0:27:55 > 0:27:56HORSE NEIGHS

0:27:56 > 0:27:57Sh.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Which way did Captain Denny head?

0:28:00 > 0:28:01Over there, sir.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05You're on your own, Wickham. I'm finished with it.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07It were just a few seconds, and Mr Wickham followed.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10Denny!

0:28:10 > 0:28:11Don't be a bloody fool!

0:28:11 > 0:28:16We waited - it must have been... ten minutes,

0:28:16 > 0:28:18and then we heard them. The two gunshots.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19GUNSHOT

0:28:19 > 0:28:22- HORSE NEIGHS - Come on, come on. Sh, sh, sh.

0:28:23 > 0:28:24GUNSHOT

0:28:24 > 0:28:26LYDIA SCREAMS, HORSE NEIGHS

0:28:26 > 0:28:27Whoa.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30LYDIA CONTINUES SCREAMING

0:28:30 > 0:28:33'Then the lady started screaming, "Murder!"'

0:28:33 > 0:28:35and she didn't stop the whole way to the house.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39- You men, see that clearing? Try there.- Yes, sir.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41Stay close to the path. Stay together.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Wickham!

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Wickham!

0:28:45 > 0:28:47- HORSE NEIGHS - Easy. Easy, Betty.

0:28:49 > 0:28:52SHE SNORES

0:28:53 > 0:28:56The draught I gave her was enough to sedate a horse.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59Er, not that...

0:28:59 > 0:29:01We'll have to keep an eye on her.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Thank you, Doctor.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Now for the mother.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07I'll show you the way.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13I'll ask one of the maids to sleep in Mrs Wickham's room

0:29:13 > 0:29:15tonight, madam.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18The sofa's quite comfortable, and she mustn't be left alone.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21I take it that once they're found, Mr Wickham and Captain Denny

0:29:21 > 0:29:22will not be stopping over?

0:29:22 > 0:29:25A hot meal and we'll send them on their way.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27Then we can all get back to normal.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29SHE SNORES

0:29:32 > 0:29:33Wickham!

0:29:35 > 0:29:38Once again, George Wickham leads us all on a merry dance.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41I can only apologise that my daughter Lydia's superlative

0:29:41 > 0:29:45taste in men has made him your brother and responsibility for life.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Wickham!

0:30:03 > 0:30:05I imagine they'll be a while yet.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13THUNDER CRACKS

0:30:17 > 0:30:19Over there!

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Wickham? Wickham?

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Wickham?

0:30:24 > 0:30:27He's dead! Oh, God.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29I killed him!

0:30:31 > 0:30:35My only friend and I killed him, it's my fault!

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Wickham, what happened here?

0:30:37 > 0:30:38- Denny!- He's drunk.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40It's my fault.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Over here!

0:30:42 > 0:30:44It's a pistol.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46It's been fired.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50- SOBBING:- Denny.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26Whoa there... Whoa. Whoa.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Stand by that door and do not open it.- Yes, sir.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34- Get ready to carry the Captain inside.- Sir.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36You can tell Lydia her husband is alive,

0:31:36 > 0:31:39although in no fit state to be seen. Captain Denny is dead.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Shot?- We don't know yet.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Where do you want the body?- Gunroom. Stoughton, help the colonel.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46- Yes, sir.- Step aside.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Dear God. - Ready? Follow me.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54Alveston, help me with Wickham

0:31:54 > 0:31:55Of course.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Get up!

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Unhand me!

0:32:04 > 0:32:07I'm an officer of His Majesty's Army.

0:32:07 > 0:32:08Darcy, what are we doing here?

0:32:08 > 0:32:11- I'm taking you inside. - No, we have to go back.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15Listen to me, Darcy, you don't understand.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18There's a killer out there somewhere!

0:32:18 > 0:32:22- Stand back!- Get him, damn you! Before it's too late!

0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Get Dr McFee.- You are not listening...let go of me!

0:32:26 > 0:32:27Damn you!

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Are you all right?

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Good night, Henry.

0:32:55 > 0:32:56Good night.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34You can go to bed.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Wickham is sedated and asleep.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47But if there's any trouble you can call on Dr McFee,

0:33:47 > 0:33:49he's in the library.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53However, I now have to inform Hardcastle.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Hardcastle? Why?

0:33:57 > 0:34:01He's the nearest magistrate - I'm not allowed to deal with this myself.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Can't it wait until dawn? You're exhausted.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09No. We have to be seen to be above suspicion in every possible way.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14George Wickham's my brother, in the eyes of the law.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23At least it's stopped raining.

0:34:25 > 0:34:26Yes.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31You should have some coffee before you go.

0:34:36 > 0:34:37Thank you.

0:34:39 > 0:34:40CLOCK CHIMES

0:34:43 > 0:34:44Could it have been an accident?

0:34:47 > 0:34:49There was a lot of blood.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54Do you think... Wickham?

0:34:54 > 0:34:57My only concern now is to protect Pemberley and my family.

0:34:57 > 0:35:02As for everything else, we have to let justice take its course.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Mr Darcy of Pemberley, sir.

0:35:37 > 0:35:38Sir Selwyn.

0:35:41 > 0:35:45Mr Darcy, after midnight.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49A rare pleasure indeed.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Do you know Mr Darcy well?

0:36:19 > 0:36:24No, no, first impressions are not encouraging.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27I'm afraid I'm not the man to dissuade you from that view.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29I've suffered greatly at Mr Darcy's hands.

0:36:29 > 0:36:30In what way?

0:36:30 > 0:36:32We grew up in the same house.

0:36:34 > 0:36:38His father had a real affection for me and treated me as one of his own.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42When he died, he wanted me provided with a living...

0:36:44 > 0:36:48..and Mr Darcy chose to ignore his wishes. The living went elsewhere.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51Why would he be so unkind?

0:36:51 > 0:36:53I can only think it was jealousy.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55Of your charm and popularity, I'm sure.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Of his father's affection for me, perhaps.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03All of Hertfordshire is disgusted with his arrogance and pride.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17SHE GASPS

0:37:19 > 0:37:21I can manage this, madam.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Do go and get some rest.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26Everything will be all right.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30Will it? The man brings nothing but mischief and misery in his wake.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41There's a sad inevitability to the way George Wickham has ended up.

0:37:41 > 0:37:42I don't know what you mean.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Come now, you know it was widely thought a strange weakness

0:37:45 > 0:37:49on your father's part to indulge a steward's boy the way he did.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52I don't have to justify my father.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54He was a good man, and he saw promise in the boy.

0:37:54 > 0:37:59False hopes, Darcy, false hopes. We raise people above their natural station in life at our peril.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01What happened to George Wickham was not inevitable.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04- He was given opportunities. He chose to squander them.- Really?

0:38:04 > 0:38:08His marriage to your wife's sister has placed him squarely

0:38:08 > 0:38:11and permanently in your life. I'd call that a hand well played.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12I fail to see the relevance.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Oh, but your position is a most delicate one.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18A murder, if murder it is, has been committed on your property,

0:38:18 > 0:38:22and the person responsible could be none other than a brother of yours.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29I'll need a medical man to help me inspect the body.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Yes, Dr McFee's already with us.

0:38:31 > 0:38:37- Buckle, fetch Headborough Brownrigg and tell him to gather some constables, quickly now.- Yes, sir.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39- Let's get to work.- Yes.

0:38:50 > 0:38:55Mrs Darcy, I must apologise for the lateness of the hour.

0:38:55 > 0:38:56Thank you for coming out.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Our guests are trying to get what rest they can.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Is Captain Denny on the premises?

0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Yes, we put him in the gunroom. It seemed the best place.- Quite.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07- And Wickham is still asleep, I take it?- Yes.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10Is he the only suspect? No-one else has been apprehended?

0:39:10 > 0:39:12No, although gunshots were heard,

0:39:12 > 0:39:16it is possible Denny stumbled across an army deserter, or a poacher.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20Ah, poachers. We're on delicate ground there.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23Well, perhaps we should prepare some warm water and towels.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26And more candles in case we need them.

0:39:30 > 0:39:31Madam?

0:39:32 > 0:39:33Yes, of course.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Sorry, it must be the shock.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42- This way, please. - Headborough Brownrigg and er...

0:39:42 > 0:39:43Constable Mason, sir, madam.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46With your permission, Darcy, it may be necessary to conduct

0:39:46 > 0:39:49a search of the grounds but first, if I may...

0:39:49 > 0:39:50The suspect.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Yes, of course. - Gentlemen.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00Mrs Reynolds?

0:40:01 > 0:40:05I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, madam. It's...

0:40:05 > 0:40:09It's just that the Hardcastles aren't much liked at Pemberley.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Better fetch everything he asked for.

0:40:22 > 0:40:27Someone's washed his face. That's tampering with the investigation.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30I take full responsibility for anything that's happened under my roof.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32And I for everything in this room.

0:40:32 > 0:40:37That's very gallant of you both but I think I know a woman's touch when I see one.

0:40:37 > 0:40:42Minor scratches to the face and hands, probably er...

0:40:42 > 0:40:44..brambles...

0:40:44 > 0:40:47Most of the blood on him will have been Denny's.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51Dr McFee, have your clever medical men found a way of telling one man's blood from another's?

0:40:51 > 0:40:53We don't set out to be gods, Sir Selwyn.

0:40:55 > 0:40:56Indeed...

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Now, if you please... The dead man.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05Mason, you wait here.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07Sir.

0:41:17 > 0:41:21This is not work of a bullet -

0:41:21 > 0:41:23the wound's too superficial.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27He's been hit with something hard,

0:41:27 > 0:41:30possibly round in shape.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31Like a cosh.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34The effusion of blood would've temporarily blinded him,

0:41:34 > 0:41:36but it's not the cause of death.

0:41:37 > 0:41:38Turn him over.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46- Good God!- There you have it, gentlemen.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48The cause of death.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50Did you find him on his back?

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Yes. It's the first time I've seen this.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54Hm.

0:41:54 > 0:41:59Something very large and heavy, I'd say, probably blunt-edged.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01The stock of a shotgun?

0:42:01 > 0:42:04No, not big enough.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06To do this takes a mighty blow,

0:42:06 > 0:42:09delivered with vicious force.

0:42:09 > 0:42:13So, it would appear the assailant hit him first on the forehead

0:42:13 > 0:42:18then moved in for the death blow with a heavier second weapon.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20If gunfire didn't kill him, who fired the shots?

0:42:20 > 0:42:24Denny himself, perhaps, trying to target his attacker.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10I know there's been discord between our families, but let me

0:43:10 > 0:43:15say how sorry I am for the darkness visited upon Pemberley tonight.

0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Thank you.- The security of England depends on gentlemen

0:43:18 > 0:43:21being allowed to live peaceably in their homes

0:43:21 > 0:43:23as decent landlords and masters.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26If the aristocrats of France had followed our example,

0:43:26 > 0:43:29- they wouldn't have found themselves severed at the neck.- Quite.

0:43:29 > 0:43:32What news?

0:43:32 > 0:43:34Perhaps we should spare the ladies.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37Denny was murdered.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40Forgive me, Sir Selwyn, my wife and I have no secrets.

0:43:41 > 0:43:45- How terrible...- I shall need to interview Wickham as soon as he wakes,

0:43:45 > 0:43:48- if you could accommodate me until then?- Of course.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51An armchair and a fire would suffice.

0:43:52 > 0:43:54This way, please, sir.

0:44:23 > 0:44:28What did Hardcastle mean when he...he referred to poachers?

0:44:34 > 0:44:40When I was a boy, a Pemberley lad called Patrick Reilly poached

0:44:40 > 0:44:42a deer from Hardcastle's father's land.

0:44:44 > 0:44:47Poaching's a serious offence, but Reilly was just a boy.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05INAUDIBLE

0:45:11 > 0:45:15Everyone expected him to be released with a fine and a reprimand.

0:45:15 > 0:45:19But Hardcastle Senior pressed for the ultimate punishment.

0:45:20 > 0:45:23I'll never forget the day they hanged him.

0:45:25 > 0:45:26Wickham and I were under

0:45:26 > 0:45:28'strict orders not to leave the house

0:45:28 > 0:45:31'but we found a way out and found a way there.'

0:45:31 > 0:45:33Get lost.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35Darcy, I know another way.

0:45:42 > 0:45:43INAUDIBLE

0:45:54 > 0:45:57His mother, naturally, was inconsolable.

0:46:10 > 0:46:15A few weeks later she went into Pemberley woods

0:46:15 > 0:46:17and killed herself.

0:46:20 > 0:46:22Darcy, I'm so sorry.

0:46:24 > 0:46:28And now there's this foolish superstition that her ghost

0:46:28 > 0:46:32appears in the woods every time misfortune's about to strike.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38- Mrs Reilly's ghost!- Yes.

0:46:38 > 0:46:43No... No... Two servant girls, Betsy and Joan,

0:46:43 > 0:46:47ran into the kitchen yesterday saying they'd seen her in the woods.

0:46:47 > 0:46:49- It's nonsense. - No. No, I know...

0:46:51 > 0:46:55But if it was the same woman I saw, she was flesh and blood.

0:46:55 > 0:46:57Perhaps she had something to do with all this.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59RUNNING FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:46:59 > 0:47:04Sir, madam, you'd best come to the house.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08Why can't I see him?! What's the matter with everyone?!

0:47:08 > 0:47:11The magistrate needs to speak to him when he wakes.

0:47:11 > 0:47:14Magistrate? What do you mean?

0:47:14 > 0:47:15He didn't do anything.

0:47:15 > 0:47:19You've always been against him, all of you, it's so unfair.

0:47:19 > 0:47:23This is your fault. If you'd invited us to the ball like any decent sister would instead of

0:47:23 > 0:47:26forcing us to creep through forests, none of this would've happened.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29- Denny would be alive. - Lydia, please...

0:47:30 > 0:47:33LYDIA MUTTERS TEARFULLY

0:47:33 > 0:47:34DOOR SLAMS

0:47:42 > 0:47:45What was all that noise?

0:47:45 > 0:47:48What was that noise? It was Auntie Lydia.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51Wasn't it, wasn't it?

0:47:51 > 0:47:53Sir, Mr Wickham is awake.

0:47:53 > 0:47:56Go back to bed, good boy.

0:47:59 > 0:48:03Are they going to hang him? Oh, God...

0:48:04 > 0:48:06They just want to question him, that's all.

0:48:06 > 0:48:09He may be their only witness.

0:48:09 > 0:48:13- I didn't do this. - So they don't think he did it?

0:48:13 > 0:48:16We must try to remain calm, Lydia, and allow them to do their work.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18Perhaps you should eat something.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20Don't be ridiculous, I couldn't possibly.

0:48:22 > 0:48:25And we had to stay at that nasty old inn.

0:48:25 > 0:48:28I know why you're so mean with your cheques, Lizzie, you're jealous.

0:48:28 > 0:48:32Stuck here in your mouldy old mansion while we have all the fun.

0:48:33 > 0:48:34Oh, Wickham.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37We can talk about it all in good time.

0:48:37 > 0:48:38LYDIA SOBS

0:48:46 > 0:48:48Perhaps a little something...

0:48:48 > 0:48:51Dr McFee would recommend it. He suggested you build up your strength.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58I have absolutely no appetite.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00SHE SNIFFLES

0:49:10 > 0:49:11It felt like an eternity,

0:49:11 > 0:49:15but it can't have been more than ten minutes.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20When I found him...

0:49:22 > 0:49:25..I could see someone fleeing through the trees, so I...

0:49:27 > 0:49:29..grabbed Denny's pistol and fired.

0:49:32 > 0:49:33But he had vanished.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36And then...?

0:49:36 > 0:49:39I realised he was in a terrible state.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44So I reloaded and fired again for help.

0:49:46 > 0:49:47And then he was...

0:49:50 > 0:49:52He was gone.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58Have you found the assailant?

0:49:59 > 0:50:03At the present time, our one suspect is yourself.

0:50:04 > 0:50:05Why would I kill him?

0:50:07 > 0:50:10He was the only real friend I had. My God!

0:50:11 > 0:50:14I was bringing my wife to a ball.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16Tell us about that.

0:50:16 > 0:50:19She was angry at not being invited, and I knew

0:50:19 > 0:50:23that if we arrived late enough, Darcy would never turn her away.

0:50:23 > 0:50:26But when Denny heard my plan, he seemed to find it...

0:50:28 > 0:50:30..repugnant.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32It's been deceit from start to finish with you,

0:50:32 > 0:50:34you're selfish, utterly selfish.

0:50:34 > 0:50:37You know nothing, do you, of women or how they truly feel...

0:50:37 > 0:50:38'We argued.'

0:50:38 > 0:50:40We'd both been drinking.

0:50:44 > 0:50:46And I was angrier than I should've been.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Then he stormed off.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55That's it, that's what happened.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01He must've come across someone in the woods.

0:51:03 > 0:51:06There is a murderer out there somewhere. And you...

0:51:08 > 0:51:10You're wasting time.

0:51:20 > 0:51:25Georgiana, you must've hardly slept.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27I'm so sorry you had to see Wickham.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29It must've brought back terrible memories.

0:51:29 > 0:51:32I was never actually in love with him. It was a...

0:51:32 > 0:51:36..a childish...attraction.

0:51:38 > 0:51:41And loneliness perhaps.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43He certainly never loved me.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46I always knew it was the money he was interested in.

0:51:46 > 0:51:50- I'd never would have eloped with him, you do believe that?- Of course.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52It's just...

0:51:52 > 0:51:55I'm not so sure that my brother does.

0:51:55 > 0:51:57Every time I try and talk to him about it,

0:51:57 > 0:52:00I can see how...how uncomfortable he becomes.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05It's a difficult subject, that's all.

0:52:05 > 0:52:09- He must be horrified at how close I came.- No.

0:52:09 > 0:52:10I'm horrified!

0:52:10 > 0:52:14His anger is entirely for Wickham. You were only 15, Georgiana.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17I myself know how...

0:52:22 > 0:52:24..convincing he can be.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29Let's all of us hope he'll be out of our lives again soon.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14Hardcastle will want alibis for everyone.

0:53:14 > 0:53:16We were all together last night, of course, except for you, Colonel,

0:53:16 > 0:53:18and your night-time excursion.

0:53:19 > 0:53:23- I'm sure you'll be able to offer him a full explanation as to where you went.- I will.

0:53:25 > 0:53:27No doubt you have access to the best lawyers, sir,

0:53:27 > 0:53:29but if I can be of any help...

0:53:31 > 0:53:33What's your immediate advice?

0:53:34 > 0:53:36Given that you both know him,

0:53:36 > 0:53:39it might be useful to discuss Wickham's character.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41Do you think him capable of such a crime?

0:53:43 > 0:53:47In the past, I have known him to be envious, deceitful and ungrateful.

0:53:48 > 0:53:50But violent? No.

0:53:51 > 0:53:54I understand he fought with you in the Irish campaign of '98?

0:53:54 > 0:53:59He did, and bravely. Part of the charge on French lines.

0:53:59 > 0:54:01It was bloody work.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06I imagine such fighting could corrupt even the most

0:54:06 > 0:54:08peace-loving of men.

0:54:08 > 0:54:12There is nothing corrupt about serving your King and country,

0:54:12 > 0:54:14you fool.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20What about his defence?

0:54:23 > 0:54:25Well, there's no motive as yet.

0:54:26 > 0:54:30One thing I can't quite fathom is why Denny

0:54:30 > 0:54:31ran off deep into the wood.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35Why not just head back on the road?

0:54:37 > 0:54:39It's odd.

0:54:43 > 0:54:49"He's dead, Denny's dead, I killed him, it's my fault."

0:54:49 > 0:54:50You want to know what he said?

0:54:50 > 0:54:55He said, "He's dead, my best friend's dead, and it's my fault,

0:54:55 > 0:54:58"I killed him."

0:54:58 > 0:54:59Something like that.

0:55:00 > 0:55:02"I killed him!

0:55:02 > 0:55:05"My only friend and I killed him, it's my fault!"

0:55:05 > 0:55:07You're sure?

0:55:07 > 0:55:09Yes, but I am convinced it was his guilt speaking,

0:55:09 > 0:55:12he felt responsible purely because of their argument.

0:55:12 > 0:55:15Thank you, I believe we have our man.

0:55:15 > 0:55:18- Did you find a murder weapon? - No.

0:55:18 > 0:55:19Well, then, what proof?

0:55:19 > 0:55:21Firstly, a confession.

0:55:21 > 0:55:25I'm a simple man, Darcy, I don't go searching for complications where there are none.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28When confronted with the misdeed, Wickham confessed.

0:55:28 > 0:55:30We have three witnesses to the fact.

0:55:30 > 0:55:34His denials in the cold light of day are entirely to be expected.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36Secondly, this.

0:55:36 > 0:55:4030 pounds found in the rim of Wickham's hat,

0:55:40 > 0:55:42stuffed in a corner of the carriage.

0:55:42 > 0:55:46If this money proves to be Denny's, we have a motive.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49Wickham may be many things, he's no common thief.

0:55:49 > 0:55:52I'm taking him into custody and charging him with the crime.

0:55:52 > 0:55:57There'll be an inquest, and probably a trial.

0:55:59 > 0:56:01Prepare yourself, Darcy.

0:56:02 > 0:56:05If he's found guilty, you know the outcome.

0:56:36 > 0:56:38- LYDIA:- What do you mean they're taking him away?

0:56:42 > 0:56:46Wickham! What's happening?

0:56:46 > 0:56:50Where are they taking him? Wickham! Wickham!

0:56:50 > 0:56:54- Please let go of him. Please.- Lydia...

0:56:54 > 0:56:57Please let go of him.

0:56:57 > 0:56:59You said they just wanted to question him.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02Please... Please let go of him.

0:57:02 > 0:57:04Let go of him!

0:57:04 > 0:57:05Wickham!

0:57:05 > 0:57:06Have a seat.

0:57:06 > 0:57:07Get off!

0:57:07 > 0:57:09Wickham, please. Let go of him!

0:57:10 > 0:57:12Wickham, please!

0:57:12 > 0:57:14You must come away.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16Drive on!

0:57:47 > 0:57:48Darcy...

0:57:58 > 0:58:01Pemberley has weathered many a storm in its long history,

0:58:01 > 0:58:02and this one too will pass.

0:58:02 > 0:58:04Everything we do now has to send out a signal

0:58:04 > 0:58:07that life at Pemberley carries on as it always has.

0:58:07 > 0:58:11This place, this family, was not sustained or built by people doing what they want.

0:58:11 > 0:58:13It's bigger than you or I.

0:58:13 > 0:58:16- I didn't intend that you should see this.- He's my sweetheart.

0:58:16 > 0:58:17Louisa!

0:58:17 > 0:58:19I could...!

0:58:19 > 0:58:20Kill me?

0:58:20 > 0:58:23We both have reasons to keep quiet, don't we?

0:58:23 > 0:58:25We discussed this, Darcy. We agreed!

0:58:26 > 0:58:29- I didn't do it, you know. - I believe you.
