0:00:03 > 0:00:04Mrs Reilly's ghost! In the woods!

0:00:04 > 0:00:07Will, there is nothing I can do about what's happening to you now.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Denny! Don't be a bloody fool!

0:00:09 > 0:00:13I killed him! My only friend and I killed him.

0:00:13 > 0:00:17We both have reasons to keep quiet, don't we, Colonel, eh?

0:00:17 > 0:00:20So, Wickham's attempted seduction of Georgiana has remained a secret?

0:00:20 > 0:00:23We can hardly bear to think of it, let alone mention his name! Of course.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Colonel Fitzwilliam has asked to seek Georgiana's hand on his return,

0:00:26 > 0:00:28I cannot receive you anymore.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31This isn't what you want! It's bigger than you or I!

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Our one suspect is yourself.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36I didn't do it, you know. I believe you.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Freddie Delancy. He's my sweetheart.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Has the jury reached a verdict?

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Captain Denny was murdered by George Wickham.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46You will be committed for trial at the next Derby Assize!

0:00:46 > 0:00:49I didn't do it! Freddie!

0:01:00 > 0:01:00FOOTSTEPS

0:01:50 > 0:01:50BABY CRIES

0:02:20 > 0:02:20BABY CRIES

0:02:28 > 0:02:30I'm sorry!

0:02:36 > 0:02:38'Darcy!'

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Darcy!

0:02:40 > 0:02:44Sir Selwyn asked you a question.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45Forgive me.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49I was asking about the Bidwell girl, Louisa.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53She's in some distress.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55It is a personal matter. Nothing to do with the case.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Come now, you can give me more credit than that.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00It was Wickham she was looking at, wasn't it?

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Or should I say, Freddie?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Were they lovers? She bore his child.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10He called himself Freddie Delancy, he told her he was a soldier.

0:03:10 > 0:03:10SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:03:12 > 0:03:14How did they become acquainted?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17It seems when his wife was staying with Mr and Mrs Bingley

0:03:17 > 0:03:19at Highmarten, Wickham would ride over here

0:03:19 > 0:03:22and spend his days roaming Pemberley Woods.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24I see.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27In search of fruit ripe enough to pluck.

0:03:27 > 0:03:32Yet again, Wickham proves his superior character.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37It won't look good for him if this comes up in court.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40That's the kind of conduct that can prejudice a jury

0:03:40 > 0:03:44quite, quite severely.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Open the gate!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01America, the New World.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I've decided to go there when this nightmare is over.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08It's a long voyage.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11With little prospect of return.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15But then, my alternative offers me a strictly one-way journey too.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20You should at least move the desk over to the light.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Clearly you haven't noticed the view.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38How is Louisa?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43You honestly expect me to believe you care?!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46What about my son? Georgie?

0:04:46 > 0:04:48He'll be fine.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51I loved her, you know?

0:04:52 > 0:04:56After a fashion. You wanted to see me. Yes.

0:04:59 > 0:05:04Yes, to ask that you don't mention this... situation at the trial.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06I'll be under oath.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Damn it, Darcy, I could hang!

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Don't you think I'm aware of that?!

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I'm doing everything I can to preserve your life,

0:05:12 > 0:05:15but I will not perjure myself for you!

0:05:15 > 0:05:18It wasn't enough that you are unwelcome at Highmarten,

0:05:18 > 0:05:21you had to ride to Pemberley and deliberately ruin an innocent girl?!

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I did nothing of the sort! I came to Pemberley,

0:05:24 > 0:05:27because it's the place I've been happiest in my life! Damn you!

0:05:30 > 0:05:35Please, Fitzwilliam, at LEAST keep my wife away from the trial.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Is there any connection between your affair

0:05:41 > 0:05:44with Louisa Bidwell and Captain Denny's death?

0:05:44 > 0:05:46None!

0:05:50 > 0:05:52'She didn't know'

0:05:52 > 0:05:55it was George Wickham, Madam, I swear on the baby's life!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Please don't worry, we hold Wickham entirely responsible.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00If Mr Bidwell ever finds out! This'll kill him!

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Mr Darcy will keep him busy up at the house for a few days,

0:06:04 > 0:06:06to give you all some time.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Louisa, when we last spoke,

0:06:08 > 0:06:12you mentioned there was a lady with Wickham.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Do you know her name? Eleanor?

0:06:15 > 0:06:18That's all I know. When did you last see her?

0:06:22 > 0:06:27Louisa? It's very important that you tell me the whole truth now.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30The morning of the murder.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39I was to meet her in the cellars of the old abbey

0:06:39 > 0:06:42to hand over Georgie.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45I was worried about Freddie, I'd not seen or heard from him,

0:06:45 > 0:06:49I hoped he'd be there too!

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Instead, there was another man. Who?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Captain Denny.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58You're sure it was him?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Please, Madam, I know nothing about his death!

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Can you remember anything about this lady? Anything at all?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06What she was wearing?

0:07:06 > 0:07:12She had on a long, dark-coloured coat

0:07:12 > 0:07:15'and a bonnet with green ribbons.'

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Miss Bidwell!

0:07:21 > 0:07:25When I got there, I didn't trust her.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Where's Freddie?

0:07:27 > 0:07:31This is Captain Denny, he's a friend of Freddie's.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33'She was going to look after the baby

0:07:33 > 0:07:35'until we got ourselves back on our feet.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38'And?

0:07:38 > 0:07:40'I agreed at first.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48'But there was something about her.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51'She loved Georgie far too much.'

0:07:51 > 0:07:54You beautiful little thing!

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Miss Bidwell, here is the 30 pounds,

0:07:57 > 0:07:58I trust that will be satisfactory...

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Miss Bidwell!

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Miss Bidwell! 'She was furious.'

0:08:03 > 0:08:05MISS BIDWELL!

0:08:07 > 0:08:10She thought that it was money I was after for my own child.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23We can't keep him, Madam. Not George Wickham's bastard son.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28(Will!)

0:08:28 > 0:08:31You mustn't get up, William! The doctor forbade it!

0:08:31 > 0:08:36My mother wishes to protect me from all things, Mrs Darcy.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41She thinks just cos my body's failing, my mind must be, too!

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Mrs Darcy wants to know the truth, Louisa!

0:08:44 > 0:08:48You should tell her there was a third person in the abbey that morning.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Who?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56A gentleman.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Louisa?

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Colonel Fitzwilliam.

0:09:16 > 0:09:16LAUGHTER

0:09:22 > 0:09:24You asked to see me, Madam?

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Yes. Mrs Reynolds.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33There have been developments with Louisa Bidwell.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Her baby's going to need a new home. Oh!

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Could you make some discreet enquiries?

0:09:43 > 0:09:48My brother's widow runs a boarding school near Highbury.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51She may be able to help. Good.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59LAUGHTER

0:09:59 > 0:10:04Why is it children must always pay for the sins of their fathers?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28And then they got into the coach and left.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30And you're quite sure that's what you heard?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I'm not a woman to misremember things,

0:10:32 > 0:10:35especially when it comes to disputes, you can ask Mr Piggott!

0:10:35 > 0:10:40Would Mr Piggott be good enough to spare you for a trip to Derby?

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Derby?! You'll probably be called to give evidence at the trial.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49I'll be needing a new hat! Did you hear that, Mr Piggott?! Derby!

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Thank you, Mrs Piggott. Not at all.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Wickham must have given the 30 pounds to Denny

0:10:56 > 0:10:59as an inducement for Louisa to give up her baby.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03So, Denny was acting as Wickham's messenger boy?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Too much of a coward to face Louisa himself.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08It appears so.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10What a mess!

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Wickham asked we keep Lydia away from the trial.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well, I'll write and invite her here,

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Jane will be grateful for the respite and I can keep an eye on her.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Darcy...

0:11:24 > 0:11:26There was someone else at the abbey that morning.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Colonel Fitzwilliam.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35That's impossible! Louisa saw him there!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm not listening to this! Don't! Don't!

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Don't blind yourself to this! Why was he there?!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42What was that loan of 30 pounds to Wickham really about?!

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Why must you persist in blackening his name?!

0:11:44 > 0:11:47What next, that he's the killer?! Do you have so little faith in me

0:11:47 > 0:11:49you think I'd deliver my sister to such a man?!

0:11:55 > 0:11:58If Wickham is condemned, Pemberley would be engulfed in scandal.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Darcy would be unlikely to be received in London

0:12:00 > 0:12:03and his credit might be lost.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Bad indeed.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08I mention this only to reassure you, cousin,

0:12:08 > 0:12:10of my full and constant support, Yes. Thank you.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13I shall speak to Darcy about it. If...

0:12:13 > 0:12:17help of any kind is needed, including financial...

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Please don't mention it to him!

0:12:19 > 0:12:22We are grateful for your kindness, but he'd be most upset.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24You know him!

0:12:25 > 0:12:30In times of trouble, family must stick together.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Yes, of course.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Georgiana... Cousin, don't! Please get up.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Is this not the correct form? It's not necessary!

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Forgive me, Georgiana. I'm...

0:12:51 > 0:12:54I am a soldier,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57my words fall unpolished,

0:12:57 > 0:13:04but, please believe, the feelings behind them are most sincere.

0:13:06 > 0:13:12My pride and brotherly feelings,

0:13:12 > 0:13:16changing, to true affection

0:13:16 > 0:13:18and love.

0:13:27 > 0:13:33Would you do me the very great honour of joining your life to mine?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Yes!

0:13:41 > 0:13:46What is it? Nothing, I am fine! Really, I am fine.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Excuse me.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Stop here, please.

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Whoa!

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Sir Selwyn. Darcy, forgive the intrusion.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43I rarely sleep the night before a trial.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45You were right about one thing.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47These initials are the work of mischief.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Frederick Delancy, Fitzwilliam Darcy.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55Wickham chose his false name with deliberate intent.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Other than the Bidwells,

0:14:58 > 0:15:01does anyone else live in this part of the woods? No.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03I've long believed Denny jumped out of the carriage

0:15:03 > 0:15:07and ran into these trees out of fear of George Wickham.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11But now I wonder... Was he going to see the Bidwells?

0:15:14 > 0:15:19Wickham's affair with Louisa Bidwell has nothing to do with this trial.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21You're a man of conscience, Darcy.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Are you absolutely sure of what you say?

0:15:40 > 0:15:40(INAUDIBLE)

0:15:48 > 0:15:54The wicked Mr Wickham, read it here, only a penny.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Only a penny, read it here.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Darcy. Morning, cousin.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Alveston.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Good news!

0:16:08 > 0:16:11The stone found in the woods won't be admissible evidence in court,

0:16:11 > 0:16:13it's too inconclusive.

0:16:13 > 0:16:18So, we begin with no murder weapon, and no motive. Good. Good.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20It's Mr Darcy.

0:16:20 > 0:16:25Mr Cartwright, counsel for the prosecution. One of the best.

0:16:26 > 0:16:31Darcy. Sir Selwyn. Colonel. Sir Selwyn.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Why you had to hire that radical to defend Wickham, I don't know!

0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's high risk, if you ask me.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45JEERING

0:16:52 > 0:16:56George Wickham, hold up your hand.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01You stand indicted for the murder of Captain Martin Denny.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04How say you, George Wickham?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Not guilty, Your Honour!

0:17:06 > 0:17:08JEERING

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Mr Cartwright, if you'd like to begin.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Gentlemen of the jury,

0:17:16 > 0:17:19the evidence going to be presented to you today

0:17:19 > 0:17:21will leave you with little doubt in your minds,

0:17:21 > 0:17:24that the death of Captain Denny was indeed murder

0:17:24 > 0:17:27most malicious and foul.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29JEERING

0:17:29 > 0:17:33This was a particularly vicious and cowardly crime...

0:17:39 > 0:17:42You wish to know the whereabouts of a certain couple.

0:17:42 > 0:17:47George Wickham and my sister, Georgiana. Where are they?

0:17:48 > 0:17:51How much are you prepared to pay?

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Your maximum price, if you'd be so kind.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02I'm confident that you, members of the jury,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04will deliver the right, the only

0:18:04 > 0:18:07possible verdict in this case, guilty!

0:18:07 > 0:18:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Lady Catherine.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21I thought it would be a quick detour,

0:18:21 > 0:18:24getting here took much longer than I expected!

0:18:24 > 0:18:26You really shouldn't have troubled yourself.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I must go where I'm needed! I have long been a martyr to that fact.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33It has been said my presence can act as the most extraordinary tonic,

0:18:33 > 0:18:36especially to the poor and needy. How intriguing.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40The term "miraculous" has been used, but it's not for me to judge.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Indeed. I come straight from a cousin's bedside.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45The poor wretch has been ill for over a year.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Far too much fuss and bother. I told him he needed to decide

0:18:48 > 0:18:51whether to live or die, and then get on with it

0:18:51 > 0:18:53with as little possible inconvenience to others.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57I'm sure he appreciated the clarification. Where's Darcy?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00He's in Derby, at the trial. Then we need to talk!

0:19:02 > 0:19:05Mr Wickham, did Captain Denny serve alongside you

0:19:05 > 0:19:10in the Irish campaign of 1798? He did.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14You became something of a national hero in the aftermath,

0:19:14 > 0:19:18I understand, for your courageous role in fighting the French?

0:19:18 > 0:19:23I did my duty for King and country, and nothing more.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25GALLERY MURMURS

0:19:25 > 0:19:28To the night in question, June 14th.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34'You, Mrs Wickham and Captain Denny journeyed together

0:19:34 > 0:19:35'through Pemberley woods?'

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Yes, about half way through,

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Captain Denny shouted for the carriage to stop.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Driver!

0:19:43 > 0:19:44'He jumped out.'

0:19:44 > 0:19:46You're on your own Wickham, I am finished.

0:19:46 > 0:19:51He was angry with my plan to deliver my wife uninvited to the ball.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Denny always put a premium on honourable behaviour

0:19:56 > 0:19:59and to him, this was dishonourable.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Denny, don't be a bloody fool.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Wickham! Wickham! Come back here this instant!

0:20:05 > 0:20:08'I pursued him,'

0:20:08 > 0:20:09by the time that I found him,

0:20:09 > 0:20:13he had been attacked and was close to death.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Denny? Denny?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19I saw someone fleeing through the trees.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22So, I grabbed Denny's pistol and fired.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29But they were gone. I fired again for help.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31HELP!

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Then I realised I had to get Denny to safety

0:20:35 > 0:20:39as fast as I could. I tried, but...

0:20:39 > 0:20:42it was... it was to no avail.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48Mr Wickham, is there any reason at all

0:20:48 > 0:20:51for you to have been filled with such hatred

0:20:51 > 0:20:55for your dearest friend, that you would've pursued him

0:20:55 > 0:20:58into those woods and battered him to death?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00No! No! The very idea is insanity!

0:21:00 > 0:21:04I loved Captain Denny as a brother!

0:21:04 > 0:21:06And I would defend him with my life.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09GALLERY MURMURS

0:21:09 > 0:21:13You must know that the whole of society is asking about this case?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16We've been positively under siege on my tour!

0:21:16 > 0:21:18I trust you answered all questions

0:21:18 > 0:21:21with the appropriate blend of fiction and fact.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24You seem very calm about this!

0:21:24 > 0:21:26I do not like gossip any more than you do.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28But I'm afraid we make sport for our neighbours,

0:21:28 > 0:21:32and they, in turn, entertain us. It was ever thus.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Darcy must publicly disown George Wickham

0:21:35 > 0:21:39and have nothing further to do with this sordid trial!

0:21:39 > 0:21:42I trust he will not be giving evidence in court?

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Oh, yes, he will.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49A Darcy can't be seen in the dock, it's disgraceful!

0:21:49 > 0:21:51He's called as a witness, Lady Catherine, he has no choice.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53What nonsense! Think of your good name!

0:21:53 > 0:21:56If a good name depends on turning one's back on duty and justice,

0:21:56 > 0:21:59then I hardly think it worth preserving at all.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03What would your mother have to say about this?!

0:22:04 > 0:22:07I fear, a great deal.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Lizzy, Lizzy, where are you?

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Lizzy? You'll never guess what just happened in town!

0:22:14 > 0:22:16I bumped into some ladies.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19I stopped at that lovely milliners we have in Lambton

0:22:19 > 0:22:21and we were having the most civil conversation

0:22:21 > 0:22:24until I mentioned I was Mrs Darcy's sister,

0:22:24 > 0:22:27at which point they turned their backs on me and walked away!

0:22:27 > 0:22:30I marched straight up to them and I said

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I wasn't in the slightest bit ashamed of you!

0:22:32 > 0:22:35I truly defended you, Lizzy, you see?

0:22:35 > 0:22:40Lady Catherine, I don't believe you've had the pleasure.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Mrs George Wickham.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49I will not be staying after all.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53You'll think about what I said, Elizabeth. You'll decide I'm right!

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Come now, Lady Catherine! Surely you know me better than that?

0:22:59 > 0:23:00Well!

0:23:03 > 0:23:07Mr Wickham, I have here

0:23:07 > 0:23:12a list of unpaid debts from your Army days.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16Eight pounds to one Colonel Forster, unpaid.

0:23:16 > 0:23:22Five pounds to the innkeeper of the Cross and Sceptre in Bath, unpaid.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27I mean, the list goes on... Do you acknowledge these debts?

0:23:27 > 0:23:29What if I do?

0:23:29 > 0:23:32It doesn't explain why I would kill my best friend!

0:23:32 > 0:23:36Only the perpetrator of a crime can truly understand his reasons,

0:23:36 > 0:23:40and they seldom make sense to the truth-telling, peace-loving man.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43And therefore I put it to you, Mr Wickham,

0:23:43 > 0:23:47that you are neither truth-telling nor peace-loving!

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Mr Wickham, am I correct that the precise location

0:23:50 > 0:23:53where you first came across Captain Denny in the woods

0:23:53 > 0:23:55has never been discovered?

0:23:55 > 0:23:59One patch of woods looks very much like another in the dark.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03'And I dragged Denny quite some distance before we stopped.'

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Yes, quite, a man who is clearly severely wounded and close to death.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10It could hardly have been a soothing experience for him.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12I was trying to get him to help!

0:24:12 > 0:24:15And yet, as events subsequently proved, help was on its way.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Wickham? Wickham?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19I killed him! My only friend and I killed him!

0:24:19 > 0:24:22I put it to you, Mr Wickham, that it was less Captain Denny's well-being

0:24:22 > 0:24:24that was on your mind, than saving yourself!

0:24:24 > 0:24:27You wanted to get him as far as possible from the scene

0:24:27 > 0:24:29of the crime, to make sure it was never found again!

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Your Honour, I must object! I beg your pardon!

0:24:32 > 0:24:35The prosecution is indulging in hypothesis, nothing more!

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Mr Alveston, await your turn to speak. Sit down!

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Please show some restraint!

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Mr Wickham, I'd like to bring your attention

0:24:47 > 0:24:50to the argument between Captain Denny and yourself

0:24:50 > 0:24:52at the King's Arms, before you left for the ball.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56What exactly happened between you? As I have said,

0:24:56 > 0:24:59he didn't like my plan regarding my wife.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03And that's the full extent of your discussion at that point? YES!

0:25:05 > 0:25:08No further questions, Your Honour.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10(What's he playing at?)

0:25:10 > 0:25:12I don't know.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Call your next witness.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Mrs Piggott of Lambton, please!

0:25:17 > 0:25:21GALLERY GASPS

0:25:21 > 0:25:24She wasn't at the inquest, is this something new?

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Yes, and I am afraid it could be dangerous.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Mrs Piggott, you were at work in the Kings Arms

0:25:31 > 0:25:33the evening Mr and Mrs Wickham and Captain Denny

0:25:33 > 0:25:37set off in a coach for Pemberley, is that correct? It is.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40And would you say they were a happy party?

0:25:40 > 0:25:43I would not, Sir! No! Did you hear a quarrel between them?

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Your Honour, the prosecution is assuming a quarrel. Good point!

0:25:47 > 0:25:51He's blatantly leading the witness! Will you sit back down!

0:25:51 > 0:25:55JEERING AND FAINT APPLAUSE

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Did you hear what they were saying? I did.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01They were no more than a few feet below me

0:26:01 > 0:26:04and I saw Captain Denny hand a large sum of money to Mr Wickham.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07I want no part in this. Denny. Please.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10This one last thing and I promise I will be done with it.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I am not playing this game.

0:26:12 > 0:26:17He said he no longer wanted anything to do with it or with him.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20He told him it had been deceit from start to finish

0:26:20 > 0:26:23You are selfish. Utterly selfish!

0:26:23 > 0:26:25You know nothing, do you, of...

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Women and what they truly feel.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30GALLERY GASPS IN SHOCK

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Mrs Piggott. You're sure these are the exact words you heard?

0:26:36 > 0:26:39As sure as night turns to day.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42"Deceit from start to finish".

0:26:42 > 0:26:46A damning description from his dearest friend.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49Thank you, Mrs Piggott. No further questions, Your Honour.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56Mrs Piggott, did you see either of the men

0:26:56 > 0:27:01lay a hand on one another during this conversation you overheard?

0:27:01 > 0:27:04No, Sir. Mr Wickham would be foolish to challenge Captain Denny,

0:27:04 > 0:27:07as he was armed and all. Ah!

0:27:07 > 0:27:12So, the fact that they were to travel together was no occasion for anxiety?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14They had Mrs Wickham with them!

0:27:14 > 0:27:18They wouldn't be starting a fight in front of a lady now, would they?

0:27:18 > 0:27:23Indeed. Mrs Piggott, why did you not give this evidence at the inquest?

0:27:24 > 0:27:27I didn't want the whole town laughing behind my back!

0:27:27 > 0:27:31I don't quite follow. Can't hear you, woman.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Speak up! Mrs. Piggott...

0:27:33 > 0:27:37Please will you speak up for the sake of the jury?

0:27:37 > 0:27:39I was visiting the privy when I heard 'em.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42LAUGHTER

0:27:42 > 0:27:45It's a proper disgrace if a lady can't go about her business

0:27:45 > 0:27:47without having to talk in public about it!

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Er, quite.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well, that's quite enough for one day.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56Court is adjourned until tomorrow morning.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Darcy! Darcy!

0:28:09 > 0:28:10Mrs Younge!

0:28:14 > 0:28:19Mrs Younge! I had hoped never to see you again!

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Then allow me to oblige by leaving your presence!

0:28:22 > 0:28:24This time I want the truth!

0:28:24 > 0:28:27What's the connection between Wickham and yourself?

0:28:27 > 0:28:32George Wickham is my brother, Mr Darcy!

0:28:32 > 0:28:35I grew up ignorant of Wickham's existence,

0:28:35 > 0:28:38but when he came to find me, we discovered a connection

0:28:38 > 0:28:42purer and stronger than anything else in our lives!

0:28:42 > 0:28:44When I found out he had a son...

0:28:46 > 0:28:49..I had to meet him.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51May I?

0:28:51 > 0:28:52'And he was beautiful.'

0:28:55 > 0:28:59I'll take good care of him, Louisa, I promise.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04He'll want for nothing. 'Wickham wanted me to have him!'

0:29:04 > 0:29:07You beautiful little thing!

0:29:07 > 0:29:09'If it wasn't for that idiot mother and Denny getting in the way!'

0:29:09 > 0:29:12The 30 pounds, I trust it will be satisfactory.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16Miss Bidwell! Miss Bidwell!

0:29:16 > 0:29:19You idiot!

0:29:19 > 0:29:22'I could still be a good mother to him, Mr Darcy.'

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Please?!

0:29:26 > 0:29:30Please?! You're asking for my help?

0:29:32 > 0:29:35To trust you with the wellbeing of an innocent child

0:29:35 > 0:29:37after what you did to Georgiana?!

0:29:37 > 0:29:40You posed as a respectable governess,

0:29:40 > 0:29:43so that I would place her in your care,

0:29:43 > 0:29:46then you took her to Ramsgate and you threw her to Wickham!

0:29:46 > 0:29:49He'd make a fine husband to any woman!

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Oh, your sister's no victim, Mr Darcy!

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Not with men such as you to guard her,

0:29:56 > 0:29:58and women such as me,

0:29:58 > 0:30:04who sacrifice their lives to protect the sanctity of high rank!

0:30:04 > 0:30:08And I suppose it was you extorting money from Colonel Fitzwilliam?

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Extorting?

0:30:10 > 0:30:13He came to me of his own free will.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15He's a reasonable man.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19...adequate compensation for a girl of her type... (INAUDIBLE).

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Wake up.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42I spoke to Mrs Younge today, in court.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45It seems you two have been seeing quite a bit of one another!

0:30:45 > 0:30:47I saw no point in troubling you with it.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50Really? You're in this up to your neck!

0:30:50 > 0:30:53I had no idea events would take the course they have!

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Every decision I have made, Darcy, was to protect you,

0:30:56 > 0:30:57you'll just have to take my word for it!

0:30:57 > 0:31:00I'll take your word on nothing until you explain yourself.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03When Wickham first told me of the mess he was in,

0:31:03 > 0:31:05I saw the danger immediately.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07A bastard child of his growing up at Pemberley?!

0:31:07 > 0:31:09You'd never be rid of the man!

0:31:09 > 0:31:11I thought it best to deal with it, quickly and simply.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13I don't have some of your qualms.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16You refer to putting yourself at the mercy of a blackmailer?!

0:31:16 > 0:31:18She's a woman one can do business with.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20She wanted to take the child, I was prepared to pay her to do so.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22It seemed simple enough!

0:31:22 > 0:31:24You acted on my behalf without consulting me,

0:31:24 > 0:31:26yet you dare to suggest you were motivated by concern?!

0:31:26 > 0:31:29I think your reasons were a little more self-interested!

0:31:29 > 0:31:32If you mean Georgiana, then yes, of course she was on my mind!

0:31:32 > 0:31:34If she's to be my wife, I must protect her from further taint!

0:31:34 > 0:31:38Further taint?! I'm not quite sure I follow!

0:31:38 > 0:31:42I refer to her history with Wickham, of course!

0:31:44 > 0:31:47Darcy! Darcy!

0:31:47 > 0:31:50I must ask you not to see or speak to Georgiana again on any account!

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Don't be a bloody fool! Things are looking bad for Wickham,

0:31:53 > 0:31:55this could be her only chance of a good match!

0:31:55 > 0:31:59Look, I will take her even if he hangs!

0:31:59 > 0:32:01HOW DARE YOU?!

0:32:02 > 0:32:06STOUGHTON! Darcy.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08Colonel Fitzwilliam is leaving immediately,

0:32:08 > 0:32:10please prepare his horse!

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Georgiana.... What is it? What is wrong?

0:32:27 > 0:32:29I have done you a terrible wrong.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32No. You've only ever done what's right for me, brother, always!

0:32:32 > 0:32:35I encouraged you to accept the hand of a man you didn't love,

0:32:35 > 0:32:38and perhaps never would.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40I accepted his offer of my own free will.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Yes. But I didn't stop you.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45I didn't stop you!

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Colonel Fitzwilliam is not the man that I thought he was.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54Elizabeth tried to warn me, but I wouldn't listen, I would not listen.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57I was stubborn and blind to the truth.

0:33:00 > 0:33:01Can you please...

0:33:01 > 0:33:04Can you please forgive me?

0:33:07 > 0:33:10There's nothing to forgive.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Marry for love, Georgiana.

0:33:12 > 0:33:16Marry... Marry the person your heart cries out for!

0:33:16 > 0:33:19And when you have that person, do not doubt them,

0:33:19 > 0:33:22not for a single moment!

0:33:48 > 0:33:50I'm so sorry.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54Darcy?

0:34:57 > 0:35:00I believe George Wickham to be guilty of this crime.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Why?

0:35:07 > 0:35:10Captain Denny knew of his affair with Louisa Bidwell.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14Their argument wasn't about bringing Lydia to the ball,

0:35:14 > 0:35:16it was about Louisa and the baby.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23And when Denny jumped from that carriage...

0:35:24 > 0:35:26..he plunged into those woods to warn her

0:35:26 > 0:35:28that she'd been abandoned by her lover

0:35:28 > 0:35:31and he would try and take her baby -

0:35:31 > 0:35:34possibly even reveal Wickham's true identity, who knows?

0:35:36 > 0:35:39But Wickham had to stop him and he did...

0:35:42 > 0:35:44..once and for all!

0:35:44 > 0:35:47And if this is revealed...

0:35:48 > 0:35:49Poor Lydia!

0:35:51 > 0:35:53I think it's time she learnt of the affair.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00And probably best it came from you first.

0:36:15 > 0:36:16Darcy?

0:36:18 > 0:36:20'But that's the motive that's always been missing.'

0:36:20 > 0:36:22And that is still no proof.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24It all adds up!

0:36:24 > 0:36:28All we know for sure is that Wickham fathered a child out of wedlock.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30That's still not yet a reason for a man to hang.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34Supposition or not, you know how it'll look when it comes out.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38The jury would be prejudiced against him beyond repair, yes.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41But, Darcy, we must believe in justice!

0:36:41 > 0:36:45Wickham has to be judged on the evidence alone.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Your duty is to answer the questions put to you as simply

0:36:48 > 0:36:50and directly as you can.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53Mine is to do everything to ensure a fair trial.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57Beyond that, it is out of our control.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59What about Hardcastle?

0:36:59 > 0:37:02I don't know him as well as you do.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Is he a man to let prejudice cloud his judgment?

0:37:05 > 0:37:06DOOR OPENS

0:37:15 > 0:37:19"My best friend is dead, I killed him, it's my fault."

0:37:19 > 0:37:23That might not be the precise order, but those were the words.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27And what did you take those words to mean?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29I was looking at a man in the greatest distress,

0:37:29 > 0:37:32kneeling over the body of his friend.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35I took him to mean that if there hadn't been a disagreement

0:37:35 > 0:37:37that had caused his friend to run into the woods,

0:37:37 > 0:37:39then he wouldn't have met his death.

0:37:39 > 0:37:39MURMURING

0:37:43 > 0:37:44No further questions, Your Honour.

0:37:46 > 0:37:52I must congratulate you, Mr Darcy, on your remarkable presence of mind.

0:37:52 > 0:37:56Here before you was a man leaning over the body

0:37:56 > 0:38:00of his murdered friend, sobbing that he killed him,

0:38:00 > 0:38:03it was his fault,

0:38:03 > 0:38:07yet somehow you deduced that this was not a confession,

0:38:07 > 0:38:09but regret for an earlier argument

0:38:09 > 0:38:11that led to the victim's flight towards an aggressor

0:38:11 > 0:38:14whose existence to this day remains pure hypothesis,

0:38:14 > 0:38:16and who for some reason took it into his head

0:38:16 > 0:38:18to murder a complete stranger!

0:38:20 > 0:38:23Poaching is a serious crime.

0:38:23 > 0:38:24Hear, hear!

0:38:24 > 0:38:27If he had stumbled across a poacher red-handed,

0:38:27 > 0:38:29the man may have panicked and lashed out!

0:38:29 > 0:38:32If you believed so strongly in the existence of this poacher,

0:38:32 > 0:38:35why didn't you send out a search party the night of the crime?

0:38:35 > 0:38:35MURMURING

0:38:37 > 0:38:39The woods were vast and dark,

0:38:39 > 0:38:43and my first duty was to inform a magistrate.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46You didn't order a search, Mr Darcy,

0:38:46 > 0:38:49because you knew full well that you already had the guilty man,

0:38:49 > 0:38:51under guard and in your house!

0:38:54 > 0:38:56No further questions.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Thank you, Mr Darcy.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Sir Selwyn Hardcastle, please.

0:39:12 > 0:39:16We know two shots were fired in the woods that night.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20Sir Selwyn, could you give us your view on who fired them and why?

0:39:20 > 0:39:23As the pistol in question belonged to Captain Denny,

0:39:23 > 0:39:26it seems to me entirely plausible he fired...

0:39:26 > 0:39:28in self-defence.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30At George Wickham?

0:39:30 > 0:39:33That's correct. Because he felt under threat?

0:39:33 > 0:39:35That's pure conjecture, Your Honour!

0:39:35 > 0:39:40Mr Alveston, I am tired of these unconventional objections of yours.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42I'm merely trying to establish an alternative explanation

0:39:42 > 0:39:44for the gunshots.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Sir Selwyn, do you believe Captain Denny fired the gun

0:39:46 > 0:39:48at Mr Wickham in self-defence? I do.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52At which point, Mr Wickham dealt him the blow that killed him!

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Your Honour, please!

0:39:54 > 0:39:57Facts, Mr Cartwright. For all our sakes - stick to the facts!

0:39:57 > 0:40:00I believe it to be the case - it's the only logical explanation.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Sir Selwyn, throughout the course of your investigation,

0:40:03 > 0:40:06have you come across any reason why Mr Wickham

0:40:06 > 0:40:08might want Captain Denny dead?

0:40:08 > 0:40:10I must defend my client, Your Honour,

0:40:10 > 0:40:13and ask Mr Cartwright to desist from his constant attempts

0:40:13 > 0:40:16to prejudice the jury's minds! Well said, that man!

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Enough!

0:40:18 > 0:40:22Have you come across any possible motive for this crime?

0:40:24 > 0:40:26Answer the question, Sir Selwyn.

0:40:30 > 0:40:31Sir Selwyn.

0:40:37 > 0:40:38I have not.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46No further questions, Your Honour.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49Mr Alveston.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52I have no questions, Your Honour.

0:40:58 > 0:40:59Lizzy!

0:41:02 > 0:41:03Could you leave us?

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Do you want for anything, Lydia?

0:41:10 > 0:41:11No.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14You slept well, I trust?

0:41:14 > 0:41:16Goodness! Now I'm nervous.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21There's something I feel I must tell you concerning the case.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23Did I tell you Wickham and I are going to America?

0:41:23 > 0:41:26It's going to be the most wonderful fun! We've had our fill of England

0:41:26 > 0:41:28and we'll need a fresh start once this business is done.

0:41:28 > 0:41:32Wickham did something foolish which I fear may come out in court. He's always been a rascal!

0:41:32 > 0:41:34Involving a girl... No, don't!

0:41:36 > 0:41:38Lizzy...

0:41:38 > 0:41:42Lizzy, I know you mean well, but I'm not like you.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46Surely better to hear it first from someone who cares, Lydia? No.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50I'd far rather hear it from the gossips,

0:41:50 > 0:41:53and then I can bat them away with the contempt they deserve.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58Wickham and I...

0:41:59 > 0:42:02..we find our way through, you know?

0:42:02 > 0:42:04We always have.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Alveston.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32Colonel.

0:42:32 > 0:42:33You should know,

0:42:33 > 0:42:36the engagement between Georgiana and myself is over.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40I believe she is waiting for you.

0:42:40 > 0:42:41She was always yours, really.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45She knew it, and...

0:42:45 > 0:42:46so did I.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53Alveston. Alveston.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58The jury are returning.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00It's far too soon.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Have you arrived at a verdict?

0:43:17 > 0:43:18We have.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21Do you find the prisoner guilty, or not guilty?

0:43:30 > 0:43:32Guilty!

0:43:32 > 0:43:32CLAPPING

0:43:34 > 0:43:36Silence! Silence!

0:43:38 > 0:43:41Is this the verdict of you all? It is.

0:43:41 > 0:43:45I swear before God almighty, I am not guilty!

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Prisoner at the bar,

0:44:03 > 0:44:07you have been convicted of one of the most atrocious crimes

0:44:07 > 0:44:10it is in the power of human nature to commit.

0:44:11 > 0:44:17It remains only for me to pass the dreadful sentence of the law -

0:44:17 > 0:44:24that you be taken at the appointed time to a place of execution

0:44:24 > 0:44:28where you shall be hanged by the neck until you be dead!

0:44:37 > 0:44:39No!

0:44:39 > 0:44:39HORSES WHINNY

0:45:27 > 0:45:29'My dearest love...

0:45:30 > 0:45:33'..George Wickham will hang at dawn the day after tomorrow.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38'I can find no words to embroider that single, desolating fact.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43'I had to break the news about his sister.'

0:45:43 > 0:45:45George, I am so sorry.

0:45:45 > 0:45:49'She's cast a dark shadow over our lives throughout this sorry affair.

0:45:50 > 0:45:54'But there's no denying Wickham's love for her.

0:45:54 > 0:45:55'There's much to be arranged.

0:45:57 > 0:46:01'I will stay close to the prison to provide what succour I can.

0:46:01 > 0:46:04'I'll be home to you soon. Darcy.'

0:46:13 > 0:46:18Mrs Darcy. I heard the news about George Wickham.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20I shall pray for him when his time comes.

0:46:20 > 0:46:21Thank you, Reverend.

0:46:21 > 0:46:25Have you heard Will Bidwell is near the end?

0:46:25 > 0:46:26No.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29According to Dr McFee, it's a matter of a day or two.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31I did so want to see him one last time.

0:46:32 > 0:46:33We were once close.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36He's kept you away, too, has he?

0:46:36 > 0:46:39I haven't gained admittance to his room since the murder.

0:46:39 > 0:46:41You are right, it did start then.

0:46:41 > 0:46:44Perhaps it affected him.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47He's surely too young to have a conscience much burdened,

0:46:47 > 0:46:49but still...

0:46:49 > 0:46:49KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:46:52 > 0:46:54Madam. I need to see Will.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Not today, he's not very well.

0:46:56 > 0:46:58You mustn't. I am so sorry.

0:46:58 > 0:47:02No, you mustn't. Mrs Bidwell, it's important, we must speak to Will. Please, he's extremely ill. Will.

0:47:03 > 0:47:06Mrs Darcy, Madam, he needs to rest.

0:47:06 > 0:47:10It's all right. Will, we've have bad news from the trial.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13Wickham has been found guilty and is to hang.

0:47:13 > 0:47:17I'm sorry, Madam... Will, please! ..you'd better go now! I would do anything to save you!

0:47:17 > 0:47:20But do you have it in your power to save another man's life?

0:47:20 > 0:47:23Spare him, Mrs Darcy, please spare my child!

0:47:23 > 0:47:24Mother!

0:47:26 > 0:47:27I think I do.

0:47:29 > 0:47:33A man came here the night of the murder.

0:47:37 > 0:47:40It was Captain Denny, but I didn't know that at the time!

0:47:40 > 0:47:43I thought it was the soldier who'd assaulted Louisa's virtue,

0:47:43 > 0:47:45'I thought he'd come back for more!'

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Open up, open up! I need to speak to Miss Bidwell.

0:47:48 > 0:47:53I, I felt such rage - it was an insult to me,

0:47:53 > 0:47:56as though I couldn't protect my womenfolk.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59And I wanted to teach him a lesson.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03I need to speak to...

0:48:03 > 0:48:05'I hit him with my stick'

0:48:05 > 0:48:08and he fell back and staggered off.

0:48:09 > 0:48:14I tried to follow him, he was heading towards the gully

0:48:14 > 0:48:16where old Darcy's grave was and I tried,

0:48:16 > 0:48:19I tried to call out a warning, but...I couldn't.

0:48:26 > 0:48:30By the time I caught up, there was another man with him.

0:48:30 > 0:48:31Denny?

0:48:33 > 0:48:35Oh, God, no!

0:48:35 > 0:48:37He had a gun and he shot at me.

0:48:37 > 0:48:38Stop!

0:48:43 > 0:48:44And I fled.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48When Mr Wickham got arrested,

0:48:48 > 0:48:50I didn't think it would come to this.

0:48:53 > 0:48:58I'm going to write this down, I need you to sign it for me.

0:49:09 > 0:49:10Father...

0:49:12 > 0:49:14..I'm sorry.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24I should've been here.

0:49:28 > 0:49:29Forgive me.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33William, forgive me!

0:49:33 > 0:49:33THEY SOB

0:49:47 > 0:49:49I've led you a merry dance, haven't I?

0:49:51 > 0:49:53I've loved every minute of it!

0:49:53 > 0:49:56But I've done you wrong, Lydia.

0:49:56 > 0:49:57None of that.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04It was the best day of my life - when I met you, Wickham.

0:50:05 > 0:50:09And look at all the fun we've had. Hmm.

0:50:16 > 0:50:17I didn't do it.

0:50:19 > 0:50:21I didn't kill Denny.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23I know.

0:50:28 > 0:50:30No-one can say we didn't live it to the full.

0:50:32 > 0:50:37Choose the brightest, best memory of me, will you?

0:50:39 > 0:50:41Hold on to that.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50Shh. (It's all right.)

0:51:18 > 0:51:20The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

0:51:22 > 0:51:25He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

0:51:27 > 0:51:30He leadeth me beside the still waters.

0:51:30 > 0:51:32He restoreth my soul...

0:51:38 > 0:51:40Will is at peace.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Wickham hangs at dawn. I must get this to Derby!

0:51:45 > 0:51:49It's night, Elizabeth, the journey is too treacherous!

0:51:49 > 0:51:52Even if you try, you'll never make it on time.

0:51:52 > 0:51:54I will take you.

0:51:54 > 0:51:57I know the roads, Madam, every twist and turn.

0:53:01 > 0:53:03My condolences, Darcy.

0:53:03 > 0:53:06It gives me no pleasure to see this sad day dawn.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10May I ask why you didn't reveal Wickham's affair

0:53:10 > 0:53:12with Louisa Bidwell at the trial?

0:53:14 > 0:53:17I knew by that point he'd almost certainly hang.

0:53:18 > 0:53:22What good would it do to drag your name further through the mud?

0:53:24 > 0:53:26Whatever others may say...

0:53:28 > 0:53:29..I'm not my father.

0:53:42 > 0:53:45Soldiers...arms!

0:53:47 > 0:53:47FURIOUS KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:53:50 > 0:53:53Madam? I need to see the Judge. Can I help you, Madam?

0:53:53 > 0:53:55What's going on down here. Judge Moberley.

0:53:55 > 0:53:56What's all this noise?

0:54:15 > 0:54:17The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

0:54:18 > 0:54:21He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

0:54:21 > 0:54:26He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul.

0:54:26 > 0:54:30He leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

0:54:33 > 0:54:38I will fear no evil for thou art with me...

0:54:38 > 0:54:41Wait! Stop. Wait!

0:54:41 > 0:54:42Stop the hanging!

0:54:42 > 0:54:44George Wickham is innocent!

0:54:44 > 0:54:46By order of the court, stop the hanging.

0:54:46 > 0:54:48I have a signed confession!

0:54:48 > 0:54:51Take the noose from his neck. Well, hurry, take the noose!

0:55:00 > 0:55:04Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

0:55:04 > 0:55:08I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.

0:55:33 > 0:55:36Mrs Reynolds has found a new home for Louisa Bidwell's baby.

0:55:39 > 0:55:42Why does she have to give up her child?

0:55:44 > 0:55:47It's time Pemberley began to look after its own.

0:55:53 > 0:55:56'Dearest Jane, I'm pleased to report that both Lydia

0:55:56 > 0:55:59'and Wickham made remarkable recoveries.'

0:55:59 > 0:56:01Thank you.

0:56:01 > 0:56:03Thank you, thank you very much.

0:56:03 > 0:56:06I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank my wife.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09'Within a matter of hours, Lydia's spirits were restored

0:56:09 > 0:56:12'and her energies consumed with flaunting her dear Wickham

0:56:12 > 0:56:15'all over town.' Bye!

0:56:15 > 0:56:19'I do wonder what America will make of them'

0:56:19 > 0:56:22'Louisa christened her son George William Bidwell,

0:56:22 > 0:56:24'in memory of her brother.

0:56:26 > 0:56:30'Darcy says he will make a fine head coachman to Master Fitzwilliam.

0:56:31 > 0:56:37'As for Georgiana, well...it couldn't be better news.'

0:56:49 > 0:56:53Georgiana, I can wait no longer.

0:56:55 > 0:56:56Will you be my wife?

0:56:58 > 0:57:01Yes, Henry, yes!

0:57:01 > 0:57:02Yes!

0:57:19 > 0:57:21Oh, those early moments of love.

0:57:21 > 0:57:23We had so little time for ours.

0:57:25 > 0:57:28Yes, thanks to my best efforts to kill my feelings for you.

0:57:29 > 0:57:32I very nearly destroyed the most precious thing in the world to me.

0:57:32 > 0:57:34Let's look to the past only as it gives us pleasure...

0:57:36 > 0:57:38..and to the future...

0:57:39 > 0:57:41..only as it gives us hope.

0:57:45 > 0:57:48Truly? I can't promise it'll be a girl!

0:57:53 > 0:57:56I must be careful! Oh, Darcy...

0:57:57 > 0:57:58..I'm so happy!

0:58:00 > 0:58:03I know a million others have said it before,

0:58:03 > 0:58:05but none with such justice.
