0:00:04 > 0:00:05Your finances are a disgrace.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07My wife will be sorry she wed me. Your wife deserves better.

0:00:07 > 0:00:11I'm with child again. Is Ross glad? I've not told him.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Are you stalking me, Dr Enys? Not at all.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17A short while ago, I pointed this at my head,

0:00:17 > 0:00:19and since then, have been trying to decide whether to do it again.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Why would you not have come home, Francis? I am coming home.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24It's common sense to testify against him.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27No, sir, I never said them words and I never thought 'em neither.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30We find him not guilty on all three charges.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34In failing to get him hanged, you have left yourself exposed.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36There is one thing I do desire - a child in the crib.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Do not wish it with our future so uncertain.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Come on.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14I applaud your foresight. It's as well to be prepared.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15For what?

0:02:16 > 0:02:22Any encounter with those who might...wish us ill.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Ross Poldark would not dare lay a finger on me.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Even though we tried to get him hanged?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29We failed. Did you forget? Ah, but on that score,

0:02:29 > 0:02:32there are other ways to choke a man.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34And if the rumours about his finances are true,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36it shouldn't be difficult.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Well, I look forward to hearing of your progress.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50KNOCK AT DOOR Yes?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Beggin' yer pardon, Cap'n, sir.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54There's a letter for ye, sir, if it pleases ye.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Ah, the ole Trevorgie workings? 'Tis a fine thought, sir.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05What is?

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Whatever 'ee was thinking, sir.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12I'm thinking of thrashing you from here to Sawle.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Aye, sir. Well, whatever 'ee say, sir.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Much obliged, sir.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25'I write to remind you that your loan of ?1,000,

0:03:25 > 0:03:29'with interest at 40%, is shortly due for repayment.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31'Your friend, Harris Pascoe.'

0:03:31 > 0:03:35All I need! What is?

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Jud. His grovelling is killing me!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Are you away somewhere?

0:03:46 > 0:03:49To Truro, for the Wheal Leisure shareholders' meeting.

0:03:49 > 0:03:54Oh. Just, since the trial, I've scarce seen you,

0:03:54 > 0:03:55let alone had time to speak.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58You always seem about some business or other.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59The mine, the harvest.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Would you have me neglect our affairs?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06No, Ross. We'll talk soon. I promise.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Gentlemen, welcome to the quarterly meeting

0:04:55 > 0:04:57of the Wheal Leisure shareholders.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Now, before we begin, I must make you aware

0:05:01 > 0:05:06that Mrs Jacqueline Tregidden has sold her shares to a Mr Coke.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Since Mrs Tregidden has always trusted us

0:05:08 > 0:05:10to do our business without her interference,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13let's hope this gentleman will do the same.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15If... KNOCK ON DOOR

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Good day to you, gentlemen.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23My name is Tankard, acting on behalf of Mr Coke.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Mr Warleggan, more like.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Pray, go on with the business, sir.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30I'm most eager to hear what you have to say.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Oh, shield your eyes, my boy!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43The dazzle of Warleggan livery can blind a man!

0:05:43 > 0:05:46George has invited us to a soiree. I've sent our regrets.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48No, no, no. No, surely not.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53Pray, convey our delight in declining his invitation.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02Now then, boy, would you like to do your lessons,

0:06:02 > 0:06:04or help me in the fields?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07The fields! The fields is the correct answer!

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Gentlemen, it's been four years since we opened Wheal Leisure.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36We started with 50 men, now we employ 100.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40We're not prosperous, but we consistently show a small profit.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Though we're not getting fat on it.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45But that could change if another lode of copper could be found.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Mr Henshawe? HE CLEARS THROAT

0:06:48 > 0:06:52'Tis common knowledge that the ancient Trevorgie workings -

0:06:52 > 0:06:55abandoned a half-century ago when the owner died -

0:06:55 > 0:06:57were never worked out.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00The old shafts caved in long ago.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02'Tis impossible to reach from above grass,

0:07:02 > 0:07:05but if you look at this old map,

0:07:05 > 0:07:08compare it with the current map of Wheal Leisure workings,

0:07:08 > 0:07:10you'll see that we've extended considerably

0:07:10 > 0:07:12in the direction of Trevorgie.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14My proposal is this -

0:07:14 > 0:07:19we divert our quarterly profits into starting an exploratory tunnel

0:07:19 > 0:07:21to see if we can join up the old Trevorgie workings

0:07:21 > 0:07:23and access the untapped copper.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25And who's to do the digging?

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Will it take men away from the day-to-day workings?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Can you guarantee that copper will be found?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35How will this affect my client's dividends?

0:07:35 > 0:07:38As you know, sir, there are no guarantees in mining.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Mr Henshawe will personally supervise the venture.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45A small team, including myself, will be led by Zacky Martin.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49And we'll take on six extra men to cover them.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well, I can't see the harm in it.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56I doubt their wages will bankrupt us!

0:07:56 > 0:07:59No, you can be sure o' that, sir. I'm in favour.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Who's with me?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Motion carried. Mr Aukitt and Mr Tankard declined.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21HORSES' HOOVES

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Cap'n McNeil. Mistress Poldark.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Have you recovered from your husband's ordeal?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34I give thanks daily for his acquittal, sir.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Doubtless he's a wiser man for it.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42No more sailing close to the wind. Well, you know Ross. Mmm.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Is he home? In town.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'm in the neighbourhood at the behest of Unwin Trevaunance,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51advising on matters of local security.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53But I trust I may drop in and take a glass of rum

0:08:53 > 0:08:56with my old army comrade, or, indeed, my old comrade's wife?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Allow me, ma'am. Oh, erm...

0:09:03 > 0:09:04Thank you.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12George Warleggan finally has a spy in the camp.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14It was bound to happen eventually.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18But provided the other shareholders hold firm,

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Tankard and George can be kept in check.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21Well, it's the last thing 'ee need now

0:09:21 > 0:09:23with all the rumours going about.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Rumours? The parlous state o' your finances.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Have people nothing better to gossip about?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35You'll have to excuse me, gentlemen. I'll see you tonight at the mine.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38When's the last time 'ee took a day off?

0:09:38 > 0:09:40When I sat in jail awaiting trial.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Cap'n Ross be home soon, I bla'.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54I hope so, seeing as Cap'n McNeil has called especially to see him.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56SHE SCOFFS

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Your health, ma'am.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10In truth, 'twas also you I wished to see,

0:10:10 > 0:10:12on account of your skill at cow doctoring.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14I've no such thing, sir.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Sir Hugh Bodrugan has heard different.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19His prize cow Sheba is sick.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21He'd esteem it the greatest of favours

0:10:21 > 0:10:24if you'd cast your eye over the beast and prescribe a remedy.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26He asked for you particularly. I don't doubt it.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29May I tell him that he need not hope in vain?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31FOOTSTEPS

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Captain McNeil. An ambush, sir!

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Caught off guard and in possession of the field!

0:10:36 > 0:10:39How are you, sir? On manoeuvres hereabouts?

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Quartered with Sir Hugh at Werry House,

0:10:42 > 0:10:44whither I'm attempting to lure your wife.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47HE CHUCKLES To what end?

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Sir Hugh wants me to tend to his cow,

0:10:50 > 0:10:51though I say I've no skill.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Can I persuade you to lend your wife to such a cause?

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Demelza has a mind of her own, sir.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01But since she has a special fondness for Sir Hugh,

0:11:01 > 0:11:03no doubt she'll be over directly.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06If you'll excuse me, I have mine figures to attend to.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Look, Horace. What beastly little hovels!

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Who could bear to live here?

0:11:23 > 0:11:26I urge you to quit this place and come to London.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Loathsome sights do not distress you.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35I did not say I found all the sights loathsome hereabouts.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well done, my boy.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51He's not been right since he returned from Bodmin.

0:11:51 > 0:11:56He is changed and I do not know how or why.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01But we must be glad of it.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14FOOTSTEPS

0:12:14 > 0:12:19Elizabeth Poldark "regrets". This is Francis's doing.

0:12:19 > 0:12:25Why waste your time on these people? Surely, Unwin is of more use.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Unwin is proving less of an asset than I'd hoped.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30All manner of promises made in exchange for votes,

0:12:30 > 0:12:33and I'm beginning to fear they've been wasted.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35What's the use of having an MP in your pocket

0:12:35 > 0:12:36if he's too obtuse to do your bidding?

0:12:36 > 0:12:40He is pliable. Is that not an asset?

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Only if yoked to wit and intelligence,

0:12:42 > 0:12:45which, in this case, it is not.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48How was the meeting? Illuminating. Tell me.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Oh, but first, summon Tom Harry.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53There's another small matter regarding Poldark's manservant.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56When 'Is Worshipfulness, the judge, he says to me,

0:12:56 > 0:13:03"Mr Paynter," he says, "did this man do wrong or no?"

0:13:03 > 0:13:07And I says, "Sithee, Your Honourableness,

0:13:07 > 0:13:10"Ross Poldark is as innocent

0:13:10 > 0:13:13"as a newly-dropped babe in its first wettels."

0:13:13 > 0:13:18And, says 'Is Majestic Honourableness,

0:13:18 > 0:13:22"Mr Paynter, 'tis your testimony

0:13:22 > 0:13:26"and your testimony alone have set this man free."

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Did you mislay your manners,

0:13:32 > 0:13:33leaving me alone to deal with our guest?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36You appeared to be handling him admirably.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38I felt like an intruder. Meaning what?

0:13:38 > 0:13:44Demelza, do you really suppose he wants you to cure Bodrugan's cow?

0:13:44 > 0:13:46He makes his intentions very plain.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48I think I ought to be able to judge that for myself.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50No doubt you think so.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Just be careful his uniform doesn't dazzle you.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54It has that effect on some people.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58Especially a common miner's daughter who don't know any better? That's for you to demonstrate.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01You are detestable, saying that!

0:14:01 > 0:14:03I'm sure I didn't start this argument. No, but you never do!

0:14:03 > 0:14:05You just give me the cold shoulder and sour looks

0:14:05 > 0:14:09and despise everything that isn't up to your high-an'-mighty standards!

0:14:20 > 0:14:22What 'ee bin sayin' to upset the maid?

0:14:22 > 0:14:23I haven't the faintest idea.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Demelza.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Are you well? Quite well, thank 'ee.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44I came in search of Garrick. He scented a rabbit and...

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Garrick! Garrick, come to! DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Is Ross recovered from the trial?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52He rarely speaks of it.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58And your news? The child?

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Is he pleased?

0:15:01 > 0:15:02Not exactly.

0:15:07 > 0:15:08You've not told him.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12He don't wish for another.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Since Julia, he...

0:15:17 > 0:15:18He haven't the heart for it.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23And we're to blame.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26'Tis not my belief.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32It's good of you to say so, but the fact that

0:15:32 > 0:15:36there's still discord between our families... There is.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38And I think 'twill not be lightly set aside.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42By Ross at least.

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Garrick!

0:16:19 > 0:16:23When we strike, it must be clean and swift and out of sight.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Giss on, man! You're talking to the master now.

0:17:02 > 0:17:03Gentlemen, a good night's work?

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Well, a good deal nearer Trevorgie than this time yesterday!

0:17:06 > 0:17:08HE CHUCKLES Go home and get some rest.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10None of that for the wicked!

0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's home to breakfast and then away to Truro.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15My finances require urgent attention.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40DOOR OPENS

0:17:40 > 0:17:41Demelza. Ross.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45You first. No, you.

0:17:47 > 0:17:52I want to apologise. I've been distracted of late.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54But there are things I've been wishing to say to you...

0:17:54 > 0:17:57And I you. ..about our finances.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Oh.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02My shares in Wheal Leisure are the only thing of value we have.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05I've begun work on this new tunnel to try and improve our chances

0:18:05 > 0:18:06of the mine becoming more profitable,

0:18:06 > 0:18:09but still, our own coffers are almost bare.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12It doesn't need to be like that.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15You're head purser at the mine. Why won't you take a wage?

0:18:15 > 0:18:17I prefer to plough every last penny into the mine.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21We have, however, a more pressing concern.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25Last year, I asked Pascoe to find me a loan of ?1,000.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28The interest, at 40%, is due this week.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33?400? Yes.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38How is half such a sum to be found?

0:18:40 > 0:18:41What's to be done?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Ride to Truro,

0:18:44 > 0:18:49see if Pascoe's managed to get the loan extended for another year.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52In the meantime, the more I work in the mine,

0:18:52 > 0:18:55the better our chances of reaching Trevorgie.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57And the interest?

0:18:57 > 0:19:01Look about you. See what you can bear to part with.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Then look again.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Ah, Mistress Demelza!

0:19:29 > 0:19:33Have you come to steal my heart? SHE LAUGHS

0:19:33 > 0:19:36No, sir. I've come to visit your cow. Oh.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44It wasn't easy, but I've secured agreement

0:19:44 > 0:19:47for your loan to be extended for another year

0:19:47 > 0:19:50at the same exorbitant rate,

0:19:50 > 0:19:56provided this year's interest is forthcoming tomorrow.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00A mere ?400(!) Quite so.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05She do look fair sick, Sir Hugh. What treatment has she had?

0:20:05 > 0:20:09Well, all manner of blisters, clysters, salves and poultices,

0:20:09 > 0:20:11all to no avail.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14But I've no doubt you'll offer better advice.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17I will.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Start afresh with a better beast.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23How went the shareholders' meeting?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Well enough, but for the appearance of a new shareholder.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30Tankard? The Warleggan proxy? You heard.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Are they on a mission to own the company?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36No, sir. Just to own me.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39This cow you speak of - your Emma?

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Oh, she's our pride and joy, sir,

0:20:42 > 0:20:47so we could not let her go except at a goodly price.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Oh. Well, not if the rumours be true.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Your husband's financial difficulties.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59Of course, I'm always happy to help a friend,

0:20:59 > 0:21:05and I could be persuaded to pay the "goodly price"

0:21:05 > 0:21:07if the terms were right.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09And what terms would you require?

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Oh, merely a kind of interest,

0:21:13 > 0:21:16payable here and here and here.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Sir Hugh, you forget yourself! On the contrary...

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Judas, I think my dog has better manners! Woof! Woof!

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Sir Hugh, I believe you're wanted at the house.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27Urgently.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Hmm. HE CHUCKLES

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Sir Hugh's a mite unruly sometimes.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Should you decide to brave his company again,

0:21:42 > 0:21:45I will personally undertake to protect you

0:21:45 > 0:21:47from his enthusiasm.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48I'm much obliged, sir.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54I'm not overjoyed to think of Sir Hugh in possession of Emma.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58No, nor I, but you said she must be sold, and I've secured a buyer.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00So, what else must go?

0:22:00 > 0:22:05Well, not the oxen. Without them, we cannot plough.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07The pigs, the chickens.

0:22:07 > 0:22:13The clock. The carpet. The settle. At least one chair.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20My brooch is worth ?100. That was a gift.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26But it may need to be sold in the end.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32I wonder what Garrick would fetch on the open market?

0:22:32 > 0:22:37One overgrown mongrel, carnivorous. Crockery breaker. Stealer of pies.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Do you suppose there'd be any takers?

0:22:41 > 0:22:44THUNDER RUMBLES

0:23:21 > 0:23:23BANGING

0:23:30 > 0:23:33May I fetch you anything from market, Uncle?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35You're going in with Unwin, are you? Good Lord, no!

0:23:35 > 0:23:37I'm in need of some sensible conversation.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Well, then, Hicks must escort you. But...

0:23:40 > 0:23:45Caroline, you cannot be roaming about the countryside unaccompanied.

0:23:45 > 0:23:46No, Uncle.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50But if I were to go, what could I bring you?

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Sugared almonds? Marzipan?

0:23:53 > 0:23:56You spoil your old uncle, don't you, eh?

0:24:01 > 0:24:04MARKET TRADERS CALL OUT

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Dr Enys!

0:24:42 > 0:24:44What a lucky encounter.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48How are you, Miss Penvenen? I have a tingling in my throat.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Do you think it could be serious? I very much doubt it.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53You seem otherwise in the peak of health.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56I hope it's not Morbus strangulatorius.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59If it were the putrid throat, you'd soon know it.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Is that what Ross Poldark's daughter had?

0:25:01 > 0:25:05He's not exactly blessed with luck, is he? No.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07And that doesn't seem about to change.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14How humiliating it must be for him. Less for her, I suppose.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I doubt either of them see it that way.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Will you excuse me, ma'am? I have patients to see to.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Mistress Poldark.

0:26:03 > 0:26:04Ross.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08How are you?

0:26:08 > 0:26:10No, you don't look at all well.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Can it be the anxieties of the trial?

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Nor you, George.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Could you have had some disappointment?

0:26:19 > 0:26:20None that I know of.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Perhaps it is yet to come.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27Ross.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41How did you manage it? It was quite straightforward.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43We sold pretty much everything we own.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59See, a real horse is much better than a hobbyhorse, is it not?

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Why does Uncle George not visit us any more?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Uncle George is not our friend.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Is Uncle Ross our friend?

0:27:11 > 0:27:13In time.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16In time, I hope he will be.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21You're quite the favourite with Mrs Tabb these days.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23She cannot abide Dr Choake.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25I suspect she prefers the cheapness of my remedies.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Or possibly their efficacy.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Aunt Agatha, Dr Enys has agreed to take tea with us.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35You know how she loves to hear of the latest dread diseases.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Is it my imagination or is Francis in better spirits these days?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Scrofula, that's it.

0:27:43 > 0:27:48Great purple blotches, swellings of the neck.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Since the trial, you would not know him.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56I cannot tell if it's because Ross was saved

0:27:56 > 0:27:59or if something happened while he was in Bodmin.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03He shared your room the night before the trial.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07Did you notice any strangeness in mood or behaviour?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Not that I can recall.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13From something he said, I had the feeling...

0:28:13 > 0:28:15You may think me callous or hysterical,

0:28:15 > 0:28:17but I could almost believe

0:28:17 > 0:28:19that Francis had intended to kill himself.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24Did he?

0:28:28 > 0:28:32Whatever occurred, be glad of it.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35He came to town a broken man. He returned...

0:28:35 > 0:28:38FRANCIS LAUGHS IN DISTANCE ..like that.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56RUSTLING

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Mr Paynter!

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Who, sir? Me, sir?

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Nay, not I, sir.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09You will recall the bargain we struck some time ago?

0:29:09 > 0:29:14Bargain? I never struck no such thing.

0:29:14 > 0:29:15I don't hold with 'em, does I?

0:29:15 > 0:29:19In exchange for testifying against Ross Poldark.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23Nay, p'raps I do recall something.

0:29:24 > 0:29:29Thinkin' it over, I wasn't meself in court.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Maybe it slipped my mind.

0:29:32 > 0:29:36In which case, 'tis only fair to give 'ee back yer guineas.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39Ten, were it? 15.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42That is not what we have come for. For what, then?

0:29:44 > 0:29:45This.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01You see much of Ross and Demelza? Why do you ask?

0:30:02 > 0:30:04I so wish our families could be reconciled,

0:30:04 > 0:30:07but Ross is determined to keep his distance.

0:30:07 > 0:30:12I wonder, might I ask you to speak to them on our behalf?

0:30:13 > 0:30:14What could I say?

0:30:14 > 0:30:17Francis is to give a supper when the harvest is in,

0:30:17 > 0:30:19to our tenants and friends.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Would you ask Ross and Demelza to join us, to stay the night?

0:30:22 > 0:30:24You, too, are most welcome.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28I'll happily carry the invitation.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32I cannot guarantee how it will be received.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Sorry it's not much.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Mmm!

0:30:49 > 0:30:53Ross, I've been wanting to speak of something,

0:30:53 > 0:30:56but haven't yet found the right moment.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Surgeon's here.

0:30:58 > 0:31:02Oh, Dwight! Hope 'ee's eaten afore!

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Admiring our harvest?

0:31:04 > 0:31:08I hope to augment it with an invitation. Oh?

0:31:09 > 0:31:11From Trenwith.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Obviously, we won't accept.

0:31:22 > 0:31:27Surely we can't forget that it's thanks to them that we lost Julia?

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Or that George is still their bosom friend?

0:31:30 > 0:31:33Is he? You'd have us overlook it? Have I said that?

0:31:33 > 0:31:36No, in truth, I'm in no haste to go to Trenwith.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46Then we're in accord. It do appear so.

0:31:46 > 0:31:47Dead!

0:31:47 > 0:31:53He's dead! He's dead! He's mortal dead!

0:32:00 > 0:32:05Who could have done such a thing? He had no enemies.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08He were the sweetest, kindliest,

0:32:08 > 0:32:11most peaceable cove a body could meet!

0:32:11 > 0:32:15And ne'er a cross word did pass his lips.

0:32:16 > 0:32:22And now I left a widow, all forlorn, without a penny in the world.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Not e'en to bury the poor soul, God rest it!

0:32:26 > 0:32:28There is this.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32When we moved him, they fell out his pockets.

0:32:32 > 0:32:33Gold sov'reigns?

0:32:33 > 0:32:36Gold sov'reigns? Where'd he get such?

0:32:36 > 0:32:37Where indeed?

0:32:39 > 0:32:42Why, the mizzerly, mazzerly, stinkin' black worm!

0:32:42 > 0:32:44He had 'em about 'im and never tell'd me?

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Reckon 'tis from the trade? That's unlikely.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50I'll knock 'im sideways down Stippy-Stappy Lane!

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Then give him a rare good burying.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57Rum and vittles,

0:32:57 > 0:33:00hymns and viols,

0:33:00 > 0:33:02widow's weeds for poor ole Prudie.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07'Tis a matter of looking respectable, 'tis.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12We must send the ole man off 50 ways.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19I've known him since I was a child.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24He was the most useless servant under the sun.

0:33:26 > 0:33:31But he taught me how to smoke a pipe and cheat at Loo.

0:33:37 > 0:33:38They left the money.

0:33:40 > 0:33:44Yes? Well, then it was no random attack.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46What, then?

0:33:47 > 0:33:51Vengeance. What for?

0:33:51 > 0:33:53You were in court. You heard his original statement.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56He was ready to testify against me.

0:33:59 > 0:34:00But then he did not.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04What if he was paid to speak against me -

0:34:04 > 0:34:08hence the 15 guineas - and then changed his mind?

0:34:19 > 0:34:21George has played us all.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25Would George wreck all that we have?

0:34:26 > 0:34:29The family, the business, now our servant?

0:34:29 > 0:34:31That seems to be his aim.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Can we do nothing?

0:34:34 > 0:34:38It suits George to have myself and Francis at odds.

0:34:39 > 0:34:43Perhaps we should accept the invitation to Trenwith.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45Are you sure, Ross?

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Some things cannot be mended.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51But some can.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39This is your doing? You're not displeased?

0:35:42 > 0:35:43Far from it!

0:35:47 > 0:35:49Cousin!

0:35:50 > 0:35:53It's an unexpected pleasure.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56Thank you for bringing him. It means the world to Francis.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00You look well, Cousin.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06Demelza. Francis.

0:36:06 > 0:36:07Welcome.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34I 'ave 'un! I 'ave 'un! I 'ave 'un!

0:36:34 > 0:36:37ALL: What 'ave 'ee? What 'ave 'ee? What 'ave 'ee?

0:36:37 > 0:36:40A neck! A neck! A neck!

0:36:40 > 0:36:44Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Elizabeth. SHE CHUCKLES

0:37:07 > 0:37:11I was expecting a small, private gathering.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15Instead, I find myself ambushed by sans-culottes!

0:37:15 > 0:37:19Hardly, Mama! These are our tenants and friends.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23Trust me, a few crusts will not curry favour when they turn on you.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26Ask the Marquis de Launay, if you can find his head!

0:37:28 > 0:37:31You look radiant, mater-in-law!

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Are you quite well, Francis?

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Never better. Oh!

0:37:36 > 0:37:39Come then, friends! Shall we have some dancing?

0:37:39 > 0:37:42CHEERS Yes, I think we shall!

0:37:42 > 0:37:45BAND PLAYS, PEOPLE CLAP

0:38:17 > 0:38:19I ordered you to scare him, not assassinate him!

0:38:19 > 0:38:21Tom got a little carried away. This is disastrous.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23You think Poldark will know who's behind it?

0:38:23 > 0:38:25I wouldn't be surprised if he's outside my house right now!

0:38:25 > 0:38:27KNOCK ON DOOR

0:38:30 > 0:38:31How do you like my new coat?

0:38:31 > 0:38:34I ordered my tailor to make it the double of Prinny's!

0:38:34 > 0:38:35You most definitely need one, George.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Well, can we go to the Penvenen party?

0:38:39 > 0:38:42My intended will be impatient to see me.

0:38:42 > 0:38:43By all means.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48Caroline? KNOCK ON DOOR

0:38:48 > 0:38:49Come in.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Caroline, my dear, are you ready yet?

0:38:54 > 0:38:58Our guests will be arriving soon. I have such a pain.

0:38:58 > 0:39:02But Tom Choake was here just now. Did he not bleed you?

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Would you have me submit to his butchery?

0:39:06 > 0:39:08So, what do you propose?

0:39:11 > 0:39:15This is the last bottle of the '83.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18After that, we'll have to resort to cheap gin!

0:39:18 > 0:39:20HE CHUCKLES

0:39:20 > 0:39:23Did you hear I quarrelled with George?

0:39:23 > 0:39:26No. What was the cause?

0:39:26 > 0:39:29Oh, well, these things tend to sink in slowly.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31At first, you barely notice,

0:39:31 > 0:39:33and then, one day, you wake up to the realisation

0:39:33 > 0:39:36that the man who's been your friend for years

0:39:36 > 0:39:38is a complete and utter blackguard.

0:39:40 > 0:39:41Well, I don't disagree.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44Indeed, I strongly believe he's behind the assault on Jud.

0:39:44 > 0:39:45What will you do?

0:39:45 > 0:39:50Till I can prove it...nothing. But when I do...

0:39:50 > 0:39:53A letter for you, Doctor. Thank you.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Someone taken ill at Killewarren.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01Tell them to be ill at a more convenient time!

0:40:02 > 0:40:06It's a complaint of the throat. I must go.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Elizabeth, where's my port?

0:40:08 > 0:40:12Lady Whitworth says that fashions in London and Bath

0:40:12 > 0:40:15are now verging on the indecent.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18What exactly does that mean? Bosoms!

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Acres of 'em, exposed like capons on a platter!

0:40:24 > 0:40:27You look pale, child. Are you unwell?

0:40:27 > 0:40:32No. No, that is, I believe I may be sickening for something.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35Get Elizabeth to mix you a rouge.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38Elizabeth goes out so seldom, she has no need of it.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40It's criminal that this should be the highlight

0:40:40 > 0:40:44of your social calendar, Elizabeth. I know I would be driven quite mad

0:40:44 > 0:40:49had I only farm hands and kitchen maids to converse with.

0:40:53 > 0:40:57If you'll beg my pardon, I must take a breath of air.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Damn it! I'm partial to a Harvest supper!

0:41:20 > 0:41:25Gladdens the heart to enjoy the fruits of one's own labours. Er...

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Remind me when you were last in your fields with a scythe, sir?

0:41:28 > 0:41:30LAUGHTER

0:41:30 > 0:41:34Is Miss Penvenen not here? Nor her uncle. Most irregular.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38Invited to supper and not a sign of the hosts! Shall we hunt them down?

0:41:38 > 0:41:42Ah, McNeil! What news? Can we rest easy in our beds,

0:41:42 > 0:41:45knowing you've purged the district of violence?

0:41:45 > 0:41:47I lay claim to no such thing, sir.

0:41:47 > 0:41:51Only last night we had a murder on our doorstep. Surely not.

0:41:51 > 0:41:53Captain Poldark's manservant.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Paul Daniel? Where 'ee be?

0:41:56 > 0:42:00Do 'ee go draw th' spigot o' th' next keg o' brandy?

0:42:00 > 0:42:03I've an urge t' address th' conflagration.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06KNOCK AT DOOR

0:42:07 > 0:42:09Jud Paynter.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11'E were a whited sepulchre.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17But now 'e's passed on to flowery fields and green meads.

0:42:17 > 0:42:23When Paul Daniel come back, we'll raise a toast an' send

0:42:23 > 0:42:25'im on his way.

0:42:25 > 0:42:30He's gone! We know that, fool! From his slab! 'Tis empty!

0:42:30 > 0:42:31The corpse ain't there!

0:42:34 > 0:42:36SHE SCREAMS

0:42:48 > 0:42:51WHIMPERING

0:42:55 > 0:43:00What is it? What is it? 'Tis they body-stealers!

0:43:00 > 0:43:02They've robbed me o' my ole man!

0:43:04 > 0:43:05Oh!

0:43:23 > 0:43:25Ah.

0:43:25 > 0:43:29My niece has been ill for three days.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Dr Choake attended her, of course.

0:43:31 > 0:43:34But she grows worse and she insisted on sending for you.

0:43:42 > 0:43:46Did Dr Choake attempt a diagnosis? Quinsy.

0:43:46 > 0:43:50With or without fever? Without. But she can hardly swallow.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54Is it the putrid throat? That, we will shortly ascertain.

0:43:56 > 0:43:59Will you open your mouth, please?

0:44:24 > 0:44:27Might a servant fetch me some warm water and salt?

0:44:27 > 0:44:29I'll see it done directly.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34I think I might be able to help you, but you must keep absolutely still.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37Can you do that?

0:44:37 > 0:44:40Adams or Wyatt? For what? Our house in London.

0:44:40 > 0:44:44Caroline will want the latest thing. She can well afford it.

0:44:44 > 0:44:47I wonder whether it shouldn't be Wyatt?

0:44:47 > 0:44:49His Pantheon in Oxford Street has pleasing dimensions.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52Perhaps you'd better secure the lady

0:44:52 > 0:44:55before you start spending her fortune.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57Mr Aukitt.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59Excuse me.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03Remind me, you still have shares in Wheal Leisure? Yes, I do.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08May I tell you a secret?

0:45:08 > 0:45:10Old Fred Pendarves?

0:45:10 > 0:45:13He was a mine captain at Grambler in my father's day.

0:45:15 > 0:45:19For a month now, I've had him prospecting over my land.

0:45:19 > 0:45:23To what end? Ross, you know I'll never make a farmer.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26It's mining. Mining. It's what I keep coming back to.

0:45:28 > 0:45:30It's what he wanted for me.

0:45:32 > 0:45:36God knows, he'd be as surprised as me to think that any of what

0:45:36 > 0:45:39he taught me had sunk in, but that's the truth of it.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42I must start mining again.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47Don't let me deter you, but even a hole in the ground costs money.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51I have money. A few hundred put by.

0:45:51 > 0:45:54If things had gone badly at the trial,

0:45:54 > 0:45:56I would have given it to Demelza.

0:45:56 > 0:46:00Now, I'm minded to spend it on a final attempt

0:46:00 > 0:46:02to secure my own destiny.

0:46:05 > 0:46:06If only to spite George.

0:46:06 > 0:46:10I think the best revenge is to succeed in your own right,

0:46:10 > 0:46:12despite his interventions.

0:46:12 > 0:46:15Almost there.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17All done.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20Now, rinse your mouth with salt water.

0:46:24 > 0:46:25Mm.

0:46:28 > 0:46:31It'll get easier now.

0:46:33 > 0:46:35What did you do?

0:46:38 > 0:46:43When did you last eat fish, Miss Penvenen? Three days ago.

0:46:43 > 0:46:45You must be more careful in future.

0:46:47 > 0:46:49A fish bone.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51Can I do anything for Horace while I'm here?

0:46:59 > 0:47:01Oops! Mr Aukitt? Can you help?

0:47:03 > 0:47:07What ails him? A fatal gaming encounter. I doubt you can save him.

0:47:09 > 0:47:13The ladies have deserted us. Yes. Perhaps we bore them!

0:47:14 > 0:47:16Perhaps!

0:47:16 > 0:47:18Um...

0:47:18 > 0:47:20I think I must go to bed.

0:47:20 > 0:47:23I find I'm less able to hold my liquor these days. No, no, no. Stay.

0:47:23 > 0:47:25Finish your drink.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Thank you, Cousin.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32For what?

0:47:33 > 0:47:37I never thought to see you under my roof again.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39I never thought to be here.

0:47:57 > 0:48:01SHE SOBS

0:48:09 > 0:48:15'Tis the shame of it. To 'ave an 'usband and to not 'ave an 'usband.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18I'll never live it down! Sshh now.

0:48:18 > 0:48:23Then there's the burying. 'Ee can't have a burying without a body.

0:48:23 > 0:48:28No. So, not only am I robbed of an 'usband,

0:48:28 > 0:48:32I'm robbed of the pleasure of seeing 'im planted in the ground.

0:48:35 > 0:48:36Argh!

0:48:49 > 0:48:52Miss Penvenen, I trust you are on the mend?

0:48:52 > 0:48:54I believe I am, sir.

0:48:58 > 0:49:04Ah, have I missed all the fun? You appear to have had some of your own.

0:49:05 > 0:49:10Must be the ride and the night air. Was it the putrid throat?

0:49:10 > 0:49:12Thankfully not.

0:49:12 > 0:49:14I did have to sedate William Aukitt, though.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17He was so agitated, he could barely speak.

0:49:17 > 0:49:20What ailed him? A fit of the Warleggans?

0:49:20 > 0:49:24He'd been talking to George and before he knew it,

0:49:24 > 0:49:26he'd signed away some shares, in a mining venture.

0:49:26 > 0:49:30He did not specify Wheal Leisure. Did George look happy?

0:49:31 > 0:49:32Yes.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38So 'ee was lying on the table.

0:49:38 > 0:49:44And I wakes up in me winding sheet wi' a terrible thirst.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46Dreamin' o' gin.

0:49:46 > 0:49:50So off I carts to Jake's kiddley for some ale.

0:49:50 > 0:49:56And what 'appens? Ther's all up an' screaming like stuck pigs.

0:49:56 > 0:50:00An' falling over each other to get out the door.

0:50:00 > 0:50:06So, in I goes, drinks me fill an' I come 'ome to Prudie.

0:50:06 > 0:50:12And what do I find? All fligged out in fancy widow's weeds!

0:50:12 > 0:50:17And folk feasting and drinking at my expense and nought left but a jug

0:50:17 > 0:50:20o' brandy and a winding sheet!

0:50:20 > 0:50:23Tedn' fit. Tedn' right. Tedn' fair. Tedn' proper!

0:50:23 > 0:50:29Truly, I say unto 'ee, a prophet is never honoured in 'is own land.

0:50:52 > 0:50:53Oh!

0:50:53 > 0:50:55Ross.

0:50:55 > 0:50:59I thought everyone had retired. I thought so too.

0:50:59 > 0:51:04Is Demelza about? I think she was feeling unwell and went up early.

0:51:04 > 0:51:07I thought I'd clear up. Oh, let me help you.

0:51:18 > 0:51:21I must thank you for coming. It was a good day.

0:51:23 > 0:51:27Heaven knows how we've paid for it, but Francis was insistent.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29The Poldarks have fallen low.

0:51:30 > 0:51:34You must be sorry you married into the family.

0:51:34 > 0:51:38Do you think I should answer that? Perhaps I should not have asked it.

0:51:51 > 0:51:55Francis tells me he has some money put by.

0:51:55 > 0:51:59I'm surprised he doesn't use it for this household. Oh, no.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01He's quite adamant.

0:52:01 > 0:52:05It's a special sum to be used for a special purpose.

0:52:05 > 0:52:09Does George know he has it? George gave it to him.

0:52:11 > 0:52:12Did he?

0:52:12 > 0:52:16In recompense for his gaming losses to Matthew Sanson.

0:52:16 > 0:52:17Do you believe that?

0:52:17 > 0:52:19Should I not?

0:52:19 > 0:52:22George is not known for his philanthropy.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29But Francis is changed.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31Yes.

0:52:32 > 0:52:33And you, I think.

0:52:35 > 0:52:36For the better?

0:52:36 > 0:52:38I wouldn't go that far!

0:52:38 > 0:52:43I remember a time you were already perfect. To me, I mean.

0:52:47 > 0:52:49That was long ago.

0:52:50 > 0:52:53And you've been more than happy since.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56With Demelza. And you've grown up.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59Not too much, I hope.

0:52:59 > 0:53:03Today, in the fields, you looked like a girl of 16.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Your age when I first knew you.

0:53:11 > 0:53:13These past months have changed me.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18Has made me appreciate what I have, rather than what I lack.

0:53:18 > 0:53:20That's very wise.

0:53:20 > 0:53:24After all, there's no point thinking about what might have been.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29But you and I would never have been happy together.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31Our characters are too different.

0:53:31 > 0:53:33True.

0:53:34 > 0:53:37But cannot love overcome such obstacles?

0:53:40 > 0:53:45Surely, there's a greater impediment? You're a lady.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47You could never have played the scullery maid.

0:53:47 > 0:53:51Perhaps I have hidden talents. I don't dispute that.

0:53:51 > 0:53:55For somehow, you've managed to bring the light back to Francis' eyes.

0:53:55 > 0:53:57I cannot imagine how.

0:53:59 > 0:54:00Can you not?

0:54:11 > 0:54:13You should go to bed, Ross.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18Demelza will be thinking you've gone astray.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28Goodnight, then.

0:54:42 > 0:54:44DOOR OPENS

0:54:46 > 0:54:48You're awake?

0:54:48 > 0:54:50I thought you'd retired long ago.

0:54:52 > 0:54:54I went out.

0:54:54 > 0:54:56Out?

0:54:56 > 0:54:58Prudie came.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00Jud's alive.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03What?

0:55:03 > 0:55:06Or at least until Prudie do kill 'im again!

0:55:06 > 0:55:08Jud's alive?

0:55:09 > 0:55:11What happened? How?

0:55:11 > 0:55:14Oh, ask me tomorrow. I'm weary to the bone.

0:55:19 > 0:55:21Are you sure?

0:55:21 > 0:55:22I did see him with my own eyes.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29Elizabeth looked well tonight.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33She did.

0:55:36 > 0:55:39Her mother thinks were she not wed to Francis,

0:55:39 > 0:55:41she'd have half the aristocracy at her feet.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43But she is wed to Francis.

0:55:45 > 0:55:46And she seems content to be so.

0:55:53 > 0:55:55Do you remember our last visit here?

0:55:57 > 0:55:59At Christmas?

0:56:01 > 0:56:03When you first told me you loved me.

0:56:05 > 0:56:07And you told me you were with child.

0:56:10 > 0:56:12'Twas different then.

0:56:14 > 0:56:16You were glad I was with child.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20We were in our first days of love.

0:56:21 > 0:56:25And you would never have looked twice at another woman.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27Demelza...

0:56:29 > 0:56:32What man does not occasionally look at another woman?

0:56:34 > 0:56:37Or woman occasionally look at another man?

0:56:37 > 0:56:41And what man or woman of sense does not have qualms about bringing

0:56:41 > 0:56:43a child into the world?

0:56:52 > 0:56:53Demelza?

0:56:55 > 0:56:57Yes, Ross.

0:57:04 > 0:57:05Yes, Ross.

0:57:05 > 0:57:08I know that you don't want it and I know it's just another burden

0:57:08 > 0:57:13to you, but there's no preventing it now, so all we can do is...

0:57:13 > 0:57:16How long have you known?

0:57:16 > 0:57:18Since the trial.

0:57:19 > 0:57:21Good God!

0:57:22 > 0:57:23And not to tell me.

0:57:23 > 0:57:27You said you didn't want another, not after Julia. Nor did I.

0:57:27 > 0:57:29Nor do I.

0:57:29 > 0:57:33The very thought of it, a child to grow into our hearts and then

0:57:33 > 0:57:35be lost to us again - could you bear it?

0:57:37 > 0:57:38I could not.

0:57:43 > 0:57:46But if a child is coming...

0:57:47 > 0:57:49..that's different.

0:57:55 > 0:57:56A child is not a thought.

0:57:59 > 0:58:01It is flesh and blood.

0:58:02 > 0:58:05And if you can risk your heart again...

0:58:07 > 0:58:09I can.

0:58:13 > 0:58:14Then so can I.

0:58:33 > 0:58:36Are you suggesting we go into partnership? Yes.

0:58:36 > 0:58:40Now you're under obligation to me. Is that where you prefer your men?

0:58:40 > 0:58:42Is that wise? Will Ross be happy?

0:58:42 > 0:58:44And who's to tell 'im where I got 'em?

0:58:44 > 0:58:47I've increased my shareholding in his mine,

0:58:47 > 0:58:50so I hope I won't have cause to inflict undue pressure on him.

0:58:50 > 0:58:54You think you can do as you please, while I always do as you bid me?

0:58:54 > 0:58:57Think again! I told Mistress not to go, but... Prudie!

0:58:57 > 0:58:59He even tried to stop her.

0:59:34 > 0:59:36Is it him? Yeah.
