0:00:06 > 0:00:08Ross Vennor Poldark,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I am committing you for trial at the Bodmin assizes.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13You must answer to judge and jury an' if you're found guilty...
0:00:13 > 0:00:16You owe him no loyalty! It's common sense to testify against him!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18It really is the end for me and Francis!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm a physician, ma'am. May I be of service?
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Perhaps some brilliant defence will occur to me!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24If only one knew who the judge would be!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Wentworth Lister.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Are you acquainted with him?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I advise you to reconsider your attitude.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32It's no detriment to me if you choose to run your neck into a noose.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I beg you to let me through. 'Tis all the reason I've come to Bodmin.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37My husband's life depends on it.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Where will you go? I have one last thing I must try.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41If he hangs, he'll have only himself to blame.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Do not lose heart, Francis. Tomorrow is a new day.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46A new day.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47GUN IS COCKED
0:00:47 > 0:00:48And it may never come.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33KEYS RATTLE
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Sounds lively out there!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44The rabble are out in force tonight!
0:02:47 > 0:02:48The list...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50of those summoned to speak against you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53A long list.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Jud Paynter?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57You know him?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59He was my servant.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Well, now he's the Crown's.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And the testimony of a loyal servant against his former master.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Nail in the coffin.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19CROWD SHOUT
0:03:43 > 0:03:48GENTEEL MUSIC
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Mistress Poldark!
0:03:52 > 0:03:53How delightful!
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Mr Penvenen! To think of us meeting again so soon!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00And may I introduce my niece, Caroline?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Mistress Demelza Poldark of Nampara.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And Mr Unwin Trevaunance.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Are you here for the election, ma'am?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Er... No, ma'am, for the assizes.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Oh, yes.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Unwin, were you not telling me there was a Poldark to be tried this week?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16That's my husband, ma'am.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19And is he guilty?
0:04:19 > 0:04:20What did he do?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well, if I were the judge, I would sentence him to be returned
0:04:25 > 0:04:27to his wife without delay!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30CROWD SHOUTING OUTSIDE
0:04:30 > 0:04:32That must be the crowd, clamouring for me.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Will you join me outside?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Why not?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I enjoy a baying mob.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42May I be of service, ma'am?
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Well, since you mention it...
0:04:53 > 0:04:58For pity's sake! Must we always have these dire predictions?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Not once have I known you forecast an outcome
0:05:00 > 0:05:01which was remotely cheering!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm not divining the future.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm entertaining myself with a game of Snap!
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Go to Bodmin, Elizabeth. You'll never be satisfied till you do.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19This election, 'tis a joke.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21What difference do it make?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Who suffers when mines close?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Not fancy folk!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Stuffed to the gizzards wi' beef while we scrape by on black bread
0:05:28 > 0:05:31an' beech leaves! In France they wud'n stand for it!
0:05:31 > 0:05:32It's come here to Bodmin soon enough,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35and it won't be long before it reaches you down in Truro.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Bin out there, 'ave 'ee?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38'Tis like a powder keg!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Dr Enys! Wha' brings 'ee here?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Same as you, Prudie.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44To speak f'r Cap'n Ross?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45As I'm sure we all will.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Mr Paynter, are you ill?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Dammit, can a man not study th' innards of a jug without bein'
0:05:55 > 0:05:57clepp'd malingerer?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I commend you to your studies.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Goin' out there? 'Ave a care!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06'Twill take but a spark. Pow!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Your defence is proving more of a challenge than I'd anticipated.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19D'you have the document from Harris Pascoe?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Your Last Will and Testament?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Influence?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I do not have that sort of influence, ma'am,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38and it would prejudice your husband's case, not help it!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40But if it was put the right way?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44If it were put any way, ma'am. No. No. No.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I-I wouldn't dream of trying to persuade a judge.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Believe me, I... I sympathise.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50I... I really do.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54And I do dearly hope that the court look kindly on your husband.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58But the surest way of attaining the opposite
0:06:58 > 0:07:01would be to try and influence the judge.
0:07:07 > 0:07:07(I see.)
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Forgive me, sir.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16I'm a little despairing.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Is he a kindly man? In appearance, I mean?
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Justice Lister?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Somewhat severe.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Small and stout?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Tall and lean.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Does he like his port?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Resolutely sober.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48If there's to be a reckoning,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50it's as well to have one's affairs in order!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Little as there is of value.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57My household effects, my shares in Wheal Leisure...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Mr Pascoe mentions a "Wheal Grace".
0:08:00 > 0:08:03My father's old mine. It's derelict.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05But still yours...
0:08:05 > 0:08:06and still deemed an asset.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Not by me!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I deem it a worthless hole in the ground!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15But by all means let me bequeath it to my wife,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18along with my other debts and liabilities!
0:08:31 > 0:08:34HE SIGHS
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I really have left her nothing.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Oh!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Oh dear, my deepest apologies. Are you hurt?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Only my dignity, sir!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04May I assist you to a chair? Some port, perhaps?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08No, thank you. I never touch it, sir.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Are you stalking me, Dr Enys?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Not all, ma'am. But now I'm here, may I be of service?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Can you prescribe something to keep me awake?
0:09:28 > 0:09:29You find the election boring?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Exceedingly dull. And the rabble out there insufferable.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh, I grant you it seems unpleasant.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36But take each man for himself and he's likeable enough.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Are you a Jacobin, like Ross Poldark?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It's clear you don't know Ross Poldark.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44No, but I expect to tomorrow, and I'd hope for better
0:09:44 > 0:09:47entertainment than I've had here tonight.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm sure you're the sort who takes a window at Tyburn
0:09:49 > 0:09:51for the pleasure of seeing someone choke to death?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53And is it any business of yours if I am?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54No.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56No. I'm thankful not.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Gentlemen, I have here the results of the Bodmin constituency.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Chenhalls, Michael - 2,250.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09CROWD CHEERS
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Dagge, Hugh - 1,203.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19Trevaunance, Unwin - 1,203.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's a tie for second place.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24A farcical state of affairs.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27There will have to be a second vote to decide the remaining seat!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29There can be no question of that.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31The key is to regard yourself as elected and act accordingly.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34But how? I'm tied in second place. The chair, man! Take a second chair.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Claim your seat before Dagge has chance to contest it.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Come now. There's no time to lose.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40CROWD SHOUTS
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Who are ye?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Um, well, I...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57D'ye know me? D'ye speak for me?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58I'm your elected member...
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Who elected ye? Did I?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Did any here?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05CROWD SHOUT ANGRILY
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Ye don't speak for me! But maybe this will!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10CROWD JEER
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Turn it round!
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Get... Get me back inside.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I hope he brought his rosewater!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31There'll be a reckoning, mark 'ee!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Commoners don't hold with being tramped underfoot.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Bring down the fancy folk and let the poor rise!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Nay, 'ee shan't muzzle me!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I'm a free man. I've a right to speak!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42HE GROANS
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Apparently not.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48This has not helped our cause.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Mission accomplished. Unwin has established his claim.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Almost at the expense of his own life!
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Is it always like this in Bodmin?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I couldn't say. I live near Truro.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'm only here for tomorrow's trial.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10You speak for Ross Poldark?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I look forward to seeing you acquit yourself.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Happily it's not I who is on trial.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Are you quite certain of that?
0:12:21 > 0:12:22You flatter yourself, ma'am.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Are all men so odiously conceited?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I shouldn't put conceit as the particular property of one sex.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30How gracious of you to correct me, sir!
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I wonder you're so solicitous for one you so clearly despise.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37You're mistaken, madam. I neither solicit nor despise.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45That rabble! Have they no respect for their betters or for the law?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I mean, someone needs to take them
0:12:48 > 0:12:50by the scruff of the neck and...and...
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Oh, good God! What is the woman doing?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59She'll hang her husband if she's not careful!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01So let me ask Your Lordship,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05how can a body judge if a person be telling the truth?
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Well...
0:13:06 > 0:13:09For some of them be so downright convincing and have all
0:13:09 > 0:13:14the evidence to back 'em up, but if the evidence be false...?
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Excuse me.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Excuse me.
0:13:16 > 0:13:22For instance, if a body did know the truth about an accused,
0:13:22 > 0:13:27wouldn't he - or she - then be obliged to speak?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Most assuredly. In the appropriate place,
0:13:30 > 0:13:31which would be the court.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Then put the case, sir, that a body know'd some other body
0:13:35 > 0:13:39who paid money so that other bodies might speak lies.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41You list a great many bodies, ma'am.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Are any of them here now?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Well, in truth, seeing as you do ask me directly, Your Lordship...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Mistress Demelza, what a pleasure to see you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52And Your Lordship. Out unusually late?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Indeed, sir. Though not unagreeably detained.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57You must be grateful for the distraction, ma'am.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Were you speaking of your husband?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Of course you will meet him tomorrow. Sir?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Ross Poldark? When he comes before you in court.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Oh. You were not aware?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11No, sir, I was not.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17You will pardon me, ma'am, sir.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Let me accompany you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25What do you make of this assault on our newly elected MP?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Barely escaped with his life!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29If this goes on, we'll have revolution on our hands!
0:14:29 > 0:14:32In Cornwall? People are fearful, sir.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35People are wondering when a clear message will be sent.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Those who stir up disorder should expect the severest penalty.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Would you not agree? I do, sir.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Beg pardon, sir, there's a gentleman within...
0:14:49 > 0:14:52A Mr Francis Poldark?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Oh, yes.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58HE KNOCKS
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Francis?
0:15:10 > 0:15:11HE KNOCKS INSISTENTLY
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Francis?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23HE RATTLES DOOR
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Locked, sir. From the inside.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39We may need to break it down. Nay, 'twill damage it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Dammit, man, Mr Poldark may be ill. He may even...
0:15:48 > 0:15:51This is the statement I've prepared for you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55You may find it a little contrite for your taste...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04There are limits, even if one's neck is at stake.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08So you'd go to the gallows on a point of principle?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Of course it's your life to do as you please.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Are you a fatalist, Enys?
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Would you believe that we are masters of our own destiny?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Well...
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Cos a... short while ago I...
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Pointed this at my head and it misfired.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48The flint went down but the powder did not ignite.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Since then, I've been trying to decide whether to...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54to do it again.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I agree, it's in very poor taste
0:16:56 > 0:16:59to use your hospitality for such a purpose. But I...
0:17:04 > 0:17:11Anyway, the thing's not done, so for the moment,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14you have a talkative companion instead of a silent one.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22I don't understand. Why would you wish...?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Francis, you are young, you're propertied, you're respected,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29you have a beautiful wife, a healthy son...
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Stop! Or I shall weep for joy!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Let's have some brandy. Hmm?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44At any rate, I can do no damage until I have fresh powder.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I hope you will reconsider.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02HE SNIFFS
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Here's to the devil!
0:18:07 > 0:18:09THEY CLINK GLASSES
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Lord knows whose side he's been on tonight.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Why do you hate him?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27What has he ever done to deserve it?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29I doubt you'd understand.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Because I am not so well-bred as you?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I am a miner's daughter. But you are a blacksmith's grandson.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36What is the difference?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The difference is that you will always be a miner's daughter.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Whereas I am a gentleman.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I am a gentleman's wife.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Soon to be a gentleman's widow?
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Got a wife? Got a family?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06You don't think it's worth making this concession for their sakes?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I appreciate your efforts.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16But I cannot put my name to beggary and flattery.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Dammit, man, you have no choice!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23The case against you is too strong.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27It's not a question of whether you'll be found guilty, but WHEN,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29and what the sentence will be!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33All you can do is paint a penitent figure,
0:19:33 > 0:19:34so that you may escape the worst.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38The worst, I tell you!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Perhaps you will consider that before you sleep tonight.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58DOOR SLAMS
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Did you have better luck?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11If anything, I've made it worse.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14What did you hope to achieve?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I don't know. Anything!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Verity, I lost my child.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27How could I bear it if I lost Ross too?
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Ask me, Enys. Am I cleaning it to put away
0:21:11 > 0:21:14or do I intend to use it again?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Do you?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24If I see a suitable target.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55What 'ee be up to, 'ee lizardy lousedy pissabed?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Up to? I? Innocent as a new-born babe!
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Witnesses primed. And we've augmented the crowd
0:22:01 > 0:22:04with persons who share our view of the accused
0:22:04 > 0:22:07and will not scruple to make their voices heard!
0:22:07 > 0:22:08And His Lordship?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Is immune to persuasion.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13On the contrary. I believe he was persuaded last night
0:22:13 > 0:22:16without a penny changing hands.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21BELLS RING
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Jack Tripp, on your feet!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28D'you go before the court?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31With head held high!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33And sore, no doubt!
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Not for long. The noose is a great curer for headaches!
0:22:38 > 0:22:42I wish you justice if there's any to be found.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Which there ain't, as we both do know.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48So luck it must be!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50For us both then.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56As ringleader and instigator of the affray,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59in which you did unlawfully assemble together
0:22:59 > 0:23:01a violent and unruly mob,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03you have been found guilty.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07It now only remains for me to pass the dreadful sentence
0:23:07 > 0:23:11of the law, which is that you be taken from hence
0:23:11 > 0:23:13to a place of execution,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17where you will be hanged by the neck until you die.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Call Ross Poldark.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Why do they cry murder? That is not the charge.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Silence in court!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21So many against him?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Only the ones paid by George.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24But if the jury believe them?
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Ross Vennor Poldark, you stand accused that you did incite riot,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48viciously attack a customs officer
0:24:48 > 0:24:52and did plunder diverse goods belonging to a ship in distress.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54How do you plead?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Not guilty.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00DOOR OPENS
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Let the court beware this man! The devil in gent's clothing!
0:25:05 > 0:25:07He stole my daughter,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10debauched and left her unfit for neither man nor beast!
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Have him taken.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14And when I did go to the rescue o' my child,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16this man did viciously assault I,
0:25:16 > 0:25:21a poor god-fearing man in his dotage, with fists and with weapons.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25I tell you, this man do think himself above the law!
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Do think he may take whatever he please
0:25:28 > 0:25:30and never pay the price for it!
0:25:30 > 0:25:34I do implore the court to see that justice be done
0:25:34 > 0:25:37in the name of I and all who've suffered at his hands!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Continue.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Gentlemen of the jury. You'll recall that in this summer's great winds,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06a ship got into distress and was driven ashore
0:26:06 > 0:26:09on Hendrawna Beach, just below the house of the accused.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You might expect that such a man's first thought would be
0:26:12 > 0:26:15the safety of the poor souls aboard.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Instead, he sought to rouse the lawless spirits
0:26:18 > 0:26:20of the district so that when the wreck came in,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24it might be plundered with the utmost dispatch.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Witnesses will testify
0:26:25 > 0:26:29that the accused personally directed the plunder.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33And that survivors from the wreck were beaten
0:26:33 > 0:26:35as they struggled ashore.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38When a contingent of soldiers and excisemen arrived,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41the prisoner warned them not to interfere and threatened them
0:26:41 > 0:26:43with violence if they did.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46When they nonetheless went down on the beach, they were set upon
0:26:46 > 0:26:50by the accused. One of them received near-fatal injuries.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Did you see the prisoner attack the customs officer?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Yes, sir. I seed him strike a blow across his face
0:26:58 > 0:26:59and kick him when he's down!
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Bloody liar! That's a lie!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07"Roused from sleep", you say? Aye, sir. By him, sir.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Saying what? "Pickings for all! Hendrawna beach! Wreck coming in!
0:27:11 > 0:27:12"Strip her to the last plank!"
0:27:12 > 0:27:14And when you reached Hendrawna Beach,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16what did you see the accused do?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Pluck cargo from the sea, pile it up on the strand
0:27:18 > 0:27:19and direct others to do the same.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Did you see him assault the customs officer?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Aye, sir. Assault, sir. Terrible thing, sur.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28CROWD SHOUTS
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Order!
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Ephraim Oliver, you were on the beach
0:27:33 > 0:27:36on the night of January seventh last. What did you see?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38That mans struck him across his skull
0:27:38 > 0:27:41and kicked him to the ground and leave him for dead.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43William Fiddick, how close were you to the accused when
0:27:43 > 0:27:45he struck John Coppard, the exciseman?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48As you be to me, sur, and felt the blow like 'twas across me own head.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Sergeant Tremayne, the prisoner warned you not to go to the beach.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53And yet you did so. Why was that?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Well, I felt he was casting doubts upon my resolve
0:27:55 > 0:27:59and goading me to do so. In effect laying a trap for you?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01'Twas my belief, sir.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Oh, Demelza!
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Is it not intolerable in there? I could scarce breathe.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Nor I...
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I came for Francis.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39I never thanked you for tending me in my sickness.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43You saved my son.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45And at such a cost.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49How can you bear it?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51I'm with child again.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Is...Ross glad?
0:28:56 > 0:29:00I've not told him. If...if things go ill today...
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Pray God they do not.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I...I must... Of course.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Call Jud Paynter!
0:29:36 > 0:29:41Describe to us, Mr Paynter, what took place the night of the gale.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49So there's Prudie, that's the wife, snoring fit to rouse the dead,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52When along come Cap'n Ross saying,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55"Ship gone ashore down Hendrawna."
0:29:55 > 0:29:58I can't believe he would turn against Ross like this.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Yes? Yes.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02And what did he do?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Do?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Did he urge you to do anything?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Urge?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Oh, aye, he says to I...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15.."rouse the rest of the village and head down to the shore".
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Did he give you a reason? Reason?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Aye.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23"Come now," he says,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25"sharp as ye can, for likely there's...
0:30:30 > 0:30:33"..women and children aboard who need saving from a watery grave."
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Come, man, recollect yourself. Think what you're saying.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Aye, that's what he said, right enough.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42And I tell you, man, to think again.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45What you say is not in accordance with your sworn statement.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47"When Captain Poldark came to my house,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49"he told me to hurry and rouse the village
0:30:49 > 0:30:52"because there was a wreck and the sooner it was stripped, the better
0:30:52 > 0:30:54"before the authorities turned up."
0:30:55 > 0:30:58No, sir, I never said them words and I never thought 'em neither.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59I remind you, Mr Paynter,
0:30:59 > 0:31:04that this statement was made before witnesses and read aloud to you
0:31:04 > 0:31:05before you signed.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Aye, well, sir, see, I is hard of hearing.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13So it's likely I misheard what they said and they...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16..misheard what I said.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Mr Bull, I would have thought it was clear
0:31:19 > 0:31:21that this witness has committed perjury,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24either now or when he made his original statement.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I would suggest that you turn him out of the box
0:31:26 > 0:31:28and get on with your case.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38You should have brandished less carrot and more stick.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39We could not possibly have foreseen...
0:31:39 > 0:31:43I beg to differ. These people have peculiar loyalties.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46What of Captain Bray? Did you manage to prevail there?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Call Captain Bray.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Describe, Captain Bray,
0:31:51 > 0:31:56the sight that met your eyes as you came ashore that night.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Like Dante's Inferno.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Drunken men cavorting,
0:32:02 > 0:32:06mules struggling beneath the spoils from the ship.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08All semblance of order gone.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11'twas as close to hell as I ever hope to come.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13And your passengers and crew?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Confronted by viciousness of the grossest kind.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I had to stand guard to prevent them being torn to pieces.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Thank you, Captain Bray.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Your description would strike a chill into the heart
0:32:25 > 0:32:27of any decent human being.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29GALLERY MURMURS
0:32:29 > 0:32:33The prisoner begs leave to question the witness.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36Granted.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Captain Bray, do you recall seeing me on the beach that night?
0:32:42 > 0:32:47You came and offered me and my passengers shelter in your house.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50And did you see or hear me
0:32:50 > 0:32:53encouraging anyone to wreck your ship?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55It was dark, sir,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58but I don't believe I'd set eyes on you until that moment.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Did you see the meeting of myself and the captain of the soldiers?
0:33:01 > 0:33:05As I recall, you warned him not to go down to the beach.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08And did I accompany you into my house, sir?
0:33:09 > 0:33:10You did.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Thank you.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15MURMURING
0:33:15 > 0:33:16One moment, Captain.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20How long did the accused stay with you after you entered the house?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22About five minutes.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25He said that his wife was ill and he needed to tend her.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26When did you see him again?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29About two hours later. So there was nothing to prevent him
0:33:29 > 0:33:31leaving the house as soon as you were settled
0:33:31 > 0:33:33and returning to the beach to attack the exciseman?
0:33:37 > 0:33:38I suppose not.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Thank you. You may stand down.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50It's no exaggeration to suggest that what we have here
0:33:50 > 0:33:52is a revolutionary.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Self-serving, contemptuous of his class, careless of others' property.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Of all the crimes committed that night,
0:33:58 > 0:34:01this man was the instigator and chief perpetrator.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04It is not within my scope to call to attention the previous acts
0:34:04 > 0:34:07of lawlessness that have marred the accused's character...
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Objection! Confine yourself to the present allegations, Mr Bull.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13..but it is relevant to draw conclusions from statements
0:34:13 > 0:34:16made by the accused at the time of his arrest,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20statements purporting to explain his actions, justify them,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23and which brand him an obvious admirer
0:34:23 > 0:34:26of the bloodshed and tyranny in France!
0:34:26 > 0:34:28SHOUTS OF AGREEMENT
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Asked if he encouraged the riot which broke out on the beach -
0:34:32 > 0:34:34"I did not consider it a riot."
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Asked if he approved of plunder and lawlessness -
0:34:37 > 0:34:39"Do you approve of whole families
0:34:39 > 0:34:42"being without sufficient food to keep them alive?"
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Asked what part he played in the death of Matthew Sanson.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48"Regrettably, none whatsoever."
0:34:48 > 0:34:50If you have ever heard a more damning indictment
0:34:50 > 0:34:54from a prisoner's own mouth, I would frankly be amazed.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Such a man is a danger to us all.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01The country and justice itself deserves the severest penalty.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03The Crown rests its case.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE, GAVEL BANGS
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Witnesses for the defence?
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Are there any?
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Call Dwight Enys.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33My Lord, I am the physician
0:35:33 > 0:35:35who attended Captain Poldark's wife and child
0:35:35 > 0:35:37during their attack of the putrid throat.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40At that time I was constantly in the house
0:35:40 > 0:35:44and can testify that Captain Poldark had no sleep for almost a week.
0:35:46 > 0:35:51His only child died and was buried but a few days before the wreck.
0:35:53 > 0:35:54On the day itself...
0:35:58 > 0:36:01..I formed the opinion that he had suffered a mental breakdown.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I consider that any strangeness in his actions
0:36:03 > 0:36:06should almost entirely be attributed to that.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16You are an apothecary?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19A physician, sir. A licentiate of the London College of Physicians
0:36:19 > 0:36:24and a Cornishman by birth. And an expert in mental afflictions?
0:36:24 > 0:36:25I did not say so.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Then your views on the matter can hardly be expected
0:36:27 > 0:36:29to carry much weight. TITTERING
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I believe they can, sir.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37In my view, Captain Poldark was, temporarily, through grief
0:36:37 > 0:36:39and lack of sleep, not himself.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Do you consider that anyone
0:36:40 > 0:36:42who loses a child and a few nights' sleep
0:36:42 > 0:36:44is justified in creating a riot?
0:36:44 > 0:36:45I do not believe he created the riot.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47We require your opinion as a physician, sir,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49not as a friend or drinking companion.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50I speak purely as a physician
0:36:50 > 0:36:53and base my opinion on clinical observation.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Captain Poldark was unsteady on his feet and disordered in his remarks.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Perhaps he was drunk.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59He had not touched a drink in several days.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01My Lord, when his infant daughter died,
0:37:01 > 0:37:03a great many people came to the funeral.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05All of society, from highest to low.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06He's held in very great esteem.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09But with his wife ill, it was impossible to give them refreshment.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11This weighed heavy on his mind.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13And I suggest to you that he did provide for them.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16In rousing the rabble and leading them to the wreck,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18he both assuaged his conscience
0:37:18 > 0:37:20and filled his larder with pillaged goods.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21That was not my meaning, sir. Thank you, sir.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25You paint a very clear picture of the prisoner's state of mind.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26GAVEL BANGS, SHOUTING
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Enough!
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Remove these persons from the court.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Quite right! They should be taken out and whipped!
0:37:34 > 0:37:35SHOUTING CONTINUES
0:37:35 > 0:37:37The court will take a short adjournment.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41We could not have hoped for a better judge.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Poldark will surely hang!
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Yes.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47That is what you want?
0:37:52 > 0:37:53The mine he will leave to his wife.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57We can soon acquire the shares. Was she not his kitchen maid?
0:37:57 > 0:38:01She will give us no trouble. Do not believe it.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03You will be celebrating tonight.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I certainly intend to.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18You could not bear to keep away.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19I was concerned.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22For me?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Do I not have cause?
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Well, as you can see, I am well,
0:38:27 > 0:38:29so had you not better return to Trenwith?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Having come so far, I may as well stay.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Ross will be gratified.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Are you?
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Are you resolved?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04To prostrate myself and beg for mercy?
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Good God, man, do you not see what's happening?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11You stand accused of a riot and lawlessness.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15This country lives in dread of France.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17This court must be seen to set an example.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21That is why you must grovel.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Do so now or you will not live to see the sun rise tomorrow.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14My Lord...
0:40:16 > 0:40:17..gentlemen of the jury.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26I can only apologise that this case has taken so much of your time.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30I will try to take as little more as may be necessary
0:40:30 > 0:40:32to beg your clemency.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41It is true that I saw a wreck come in,
0:40:41 > 0:40:46that I rode and told several villagers,
0:40:46 > 0:40:49that a number of people came upon the beach
0:40:49 > 0:40:51and that items were carried away.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Though not by me.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03My house was searched...
0:41:04 > 0:41:05..and none were found.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Why?
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Because I took none.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18The Counsel has suggested that I'm a revolutionary,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20that these people are revolutionaries,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23branded with a desire to overthrow authority.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Well, nothing could be further from the truth.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30The people of Sawle, Mellin and Grambler
0:41:30 > 0:41:34who came upon the beach that day were ordinary people,
0:41:34 > 0:41:38no more and no less law-abiding, loyal subjects than any here.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43As to what happened when they came upon the beach,
0:41:43 > 0:41:47I ask you to think of the traditions of our county.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51That people scour the beaches for flotsam.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53This is commonly known.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56But in times of dire need,
0:41:56 > 0:41:59when fathers have seen their children without a crust
0:41:59 > 0:42:03for their bellies or a rag for their backs,
0:42:03 > 0:42:08these pickings have been the means of keeping ordinary people alive!
0:42:11 > 0:42:14What else would you have them do,
0:42:14 > 0:42:20after they have rescued the crew and brought goods ashore?
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Are they then to await the arrival of the excisemen
0:42:24 > 0:42:27and watch them carry off the goods that they have salvaged?
0:42:28 > 0:42:31You ask if I was in my right mind -
0:42:31 > 0:42:33well, you've heard evidence that I was not.
0:42:33 > 0:42:39But is it insanity to think that rich pickings strewn across a beach
0:42:39 > 0:42:41are better used to sustain those in need
0:42:41 > 0:42:44than returned to those whose only goal is profit?
0:42:44 > 0:42:46I cannot believe it.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49I will not believe it.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51I make no apologies for my actions.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54In truth, I would do the same again.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Thank you.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19I've heard more penitent speeches.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23But rarely more eloquent?
0:43:23 > 0:43:25My apologies. Hmm.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29What happens now?
0:43:30 > 0:43:31The judge's summing up.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36I would not expect much benevolence.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40Gentlemen of the jury, this man stands accused of riot,
0:43:40 > 0:43:43theft and assaulting an officer of the Crown.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47Your duty is to decide, beyond reasonable doubt,
0:43:47 > 0:43:49if the prisoner is guilty or innocent.
0:43:49 > 0:43:54But in law, if you are satisfied that a riot took place,
0:43:54 > 0:43:58you only need to be satisfied that the prisoner was involved,
0:43:58 > 0:44:02to find him guilty as a principal.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05The prisoner has attempted to find mitigating circumstances
0:44:05 > 0:44:08in the distress generally prevailing amongst the poor.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12You may find this an admirable sentiment,
0:44:12 > 0:44:15but you would be failing in your duty
0:44:15 > 0:44:18if you allowed it to influence your judgment in any way.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22Will you now consider your verdict?
0:44:22 > 0:44:24You may retire if you wish.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Bad, is it not?
0:44:32 > 0:44:33Very bad.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38Not that I don't admire his stubbornness, but...
0:44:39 > 0:44:41..he'll pay for it.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Will I have a chance to say goodbye to my wife?
0:44:56 > 0:44:59You will be removed from the court and taken directly to your fate.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14"The quality of mercy is not strain'd
0:45:15 > 0:45:19"It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath."
0:45:23 > 0:45:27And God knows it droppeth sometimes on those who least deserve it.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36I must congratulate you on your eloquence.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40You almost convinced me I was guilty.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43In truth, I believe there's nothing either you or anyone could have said
0:45:43 > 0:45:46to change the old man's mind.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49He seems determined to make an example of you.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52They're coming back.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Gentlemen of the jury...
0:46:10 > 0:46:12..have you reached a verdict?
0:46:14 > 0:46:16We have.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19Do you find the prisoner guilty...
0:46:20 > 0:46:21..or not guilty?
0:46:24 > 0:46:26We find him...
0:46:29 > 0:46:31..not guilty on all three charges.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48APPLAUSE
0:47:03 > 0:47:06I thought we'd lost him! I was sure of it!
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Oh, Francis, dear brother...
0:47:08 > 0:47:11can we not take heart from this?
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Is there not hope in it for all?
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Hope? Of a reconciling?
0:47:16 > 0:47:17Of you and I, gladly, gladly.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20But, Verity, for your husband,
0:47:20 > 0:47:23while I live and breathe, it will never happen.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40So he will come home after all.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41Yes.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44No, no, don't stop on my account.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50I wonder if you would have wept so prettily had I not come home.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Why would you not have come home, Francis?
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Let's not distress ourselves to no purpose. I am coming home.
0:48:07 > 0:48:08And so is Ross.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12And tomorrow the sun will rise again.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16So let us count our blessings.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23Seems I shan't be rid of you yet, Captain. A pity.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25I was looking forward to dealing
0:48:25 > 0:48:27with the sensible side of the family!
0:49:16 > 0:49:19Is it over? Are ye free?
0:49:19 > 0:49:21It appears so.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26HE PLAYS UPBEAT JIG
0:49:35 > 0:49:36How did he get off?!
0:49:36 > 0:49:39How did the accursed jury disregard all the evidence
0:49:39 > 0:49:40and find him not guilty?
0:49:40 > 0:49:42And to think I let my uncle persuade me against
0:49:42 > 0:49:44pressing a charge of murder!
0:49:44 > 0:49:46I tell you there was not one atom of proof
0:49:46 > 0:49:50and we could not have manufactured it. And Paynter recanted!
0:49:50 > 0:49:52He will pay for it shortly.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54What now?
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Do we, er, accept defeat?
0:49:57 > 0:49:58By no means.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Wheal Leisure is his one real asset.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05We must set about buying up shares.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08When I control the mine, I control Ross.
0:50:08 > 0:50:09And, er...Francis?
0:50:11 > 0:50:14His finances are in your hands. You could break him tomorrow.
0:50:16 > 0:50:17I could.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22But for the moment I intend to make no move at all.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25You care nothing for his good will. Not his.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28There is another person to consider.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Not guilty.
0:50:42 > 0:50:43As I expected.
0:50:46 > 0:50:47Sit here, my dear.
0:50:49 > 0:50:50May I get you a glass of wine?
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Thank you.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06Stay a little longer with us!
0:51:06 > 0:51:10Nay, Jinny, leave him be. They'll be wantin' to be away home.
0:51:21 > 0:51:22Caroline.
0:51:22 > 0:51:23Thank you.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Thank you.
0:51:25 > 0:51:29To Westminster! To Ross Poldark.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31You must toast as your uncle bids you, Caroline.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33You are his ward and you must obey his wishes.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35And what are his wishes?
0:51:36 > 0:51:41Why, for you to engage yourself to a man of substance and repute.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43I intend to.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Here's to Ross!
0:51:50 > 0:51:51ALL: To Ross!
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Judas!
0:52:11 > 0:52:13I might go to town tomorrow.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16I've a notion to engage a couple of servants.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20And what sorts would you be lookin' for?
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Fiendishly hardworking.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Pitifully grateful.
0:52:25 > 0:52:26Exceedingly cheap.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31If you hear of any such, tell them to make themselves known to me.
0:52:44 > 0:52:45You overlook one thing.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48Ross Poldark is alive
0:52:48 > 0:52:53and must be aware of our attempts to render him otherwise.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57And?
0:52:57 > 0:53:01He does not strike me as a man who takes such things lying down.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03After all, he's a soldier. A renegade.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Your point?
0:53:09 > 0:53:13That in failing to get him hanged, you have left yourself exposed.
0:54:01 > 0:54:02DOOR OPENS
0:54:14 > 0:54:15I did not care for Bodmin.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19This is what I desire.
0:54:21 > 0:54:26You, me, our house,
0:54:26 > 0:54:28candles burning,
0:54:28 > 0:54:30the scent of new-picked violets.
0:54:32 > 0:54:36Maybe it's because I'm of common stock, I'm so easily pleased.
0:54:36 > 0:54:37Common stock you are not.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57There is one thing I do desire.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02A child in the crib.
0:55:04 > 0:55:06To take her place?
0:55:06 > 0:55:07Not to make us forget her.
0:55:12 > 0:55:13Do not wish it.
0:55:15 > 0:55:16Not ever? Not for now.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20With our future so uncertain.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28Our future looks kinder than we ever expected.
0:55:28 > 0:55:29Much kinder.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41I believe we agreed you would not come to Bodmin.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Yes, Ross, I believe that we did.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Have I told you what I feel about a disobedient wife?
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Have I told you what I feel about a reckless husband?
0:56:01 > 0:56:03Ross Poldark would not dare lay a finger on me.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Even though we tried to get him hanged?
0:56:05 > 0:56:07My name is Tankard, acting on behalf of Mr Coke.
0:56:07 > 0:56:08Mr Warleggan, more like.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11I asked Pascoe to find me a loan of ?1,000.
0:56:11 > 0:56:13The interest at 40% is due this week.
0:56:13 > 0:56:14And your news? The child.
0:56:14 > 0:56:16Is he pleased? Not exactly.
0:56:16 > 0:56:17Mr Paynter!
0:56:17 > 0:56:20What is it? What is it? I think I might be able to help you.
0:56:20 > 0:56:21Mistress Poldark.
0:56:21 > 0:56:23Just be careful his uniform doesn't dazzle you.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26It has that effect on some people. You're detestable, sayin' that!
0:56:26 > 0:56:28Cousin! It's an unexpected pleasure.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31Somehow you've managed to bring the light back to Francis's eyes.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33I cannot imagine how. Can you not?
