0:00:02 > 0:00:04Sentenced to three months' hard labour.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06I must go, until December.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08In December I come of age.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13George Warleggan has my promissory note.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16By Christmas, I must find £1,400.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17Or else?

0:00:17 > 0:00:20We lose everything we own and I go to debtors' prison.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22You will never again set foot in my house,

0:00:22 > 0:00:24nor approach me, or my family.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26We are no longer your friends.

0:00:26 > 0:00:30Your great-nephews are digging their own graves.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31'Tis never copper.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Yes, I think it may be.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35But a piece of my heart will always be yours,

0:00:35 > 0:00:37as a piece of yours will always be mine.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39I don't wonder Ross loves you.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Do you suppose he still does?

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Ahh!

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Why the hell didn't you learn to swim?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Still can't get used to Mr Francis bein' gone.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49It breaks my heart to think of him all fired up

0:02:49 > 0:02:51about those rock samples.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55When in the end 'twas only quartz, with schorl and iron oxide mixed.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Fool's copper.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Fool's copper.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Leaving his widow with nothing but debt and shares in a failing mine.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I'm to Trenwith to see Elizabeth.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Is Verity's company not enough for her?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01He comes to take Geoffrey Charles to the mine.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03And you?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05I'm trustee of my son's shares in Wheal Grace,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08which is why Ross brings me weekly reports.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Sometimes twice weekly.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Uncle Ross is here, Mama.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Who else can I depend on?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Is it done?

0:04:28 > 0:04:33"Mr Poldark, I give you notice that your promissory note

0:04:33 > 0:04:37"for £1,000 plus interest at 40%,

0:04:37 > 0:04:41"will fall due and must be paid in full".

0:04:41 > 0:04:43The day after Christmas.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Do they serve plum pudding in debtors' prison?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49CARY CHUCKLES

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Will you take my coat?

0:04:54 > 0:04:55I do not feel the cold.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57I think you do.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58At any rate, you used to.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02At any rate, it's warmer than Trenwith.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07I must learn to grow a thicker skin.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Can you?

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Sometimes.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19I miss Francis.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24I miss him too.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I never thought him the most practical of men,

0:05:26 > 0:05:29yet now I realise how much he dealt with.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Matters of finance, the estate, the servants -

0:05:32 > 0:05:34decisions which now fall to me.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Do not hesitate to call upon me, Elizabeth.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Oh, I do, more often than I should.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42You have your own home and wife and child.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46You seek to share my troubles, yet never tell me your own.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48What of your debts?

0:05:48 > 0:05:50The promissory note, which fell into George's hands?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Don't trouble yourself.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54The sum was much exaggerated.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00And the mine? How long can we continue with such poor yield?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03For your sake and his, I will squeeze out every last drop

0:06:03 > 0:06:04before it defeats us.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Uncle Ross looks after us so well.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Where would we be without him?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Oi, Maid, even your oils and brittles?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Not a word to Ross.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45I don't want him thinkin' I fear the worst.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Ee do fear th' worst.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50If he go to prison, we'll need more 'n a few tetties t' see us through.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Hush your creenin'.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54If this be his last Christmas here for a while,

0:06:54 > 0:06:56then I mean t' make it a goodly one.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Dr Enys.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Is it anyone we know?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Nay, sir.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Say it may be from the Parthesia -

0:07:14 > 0:07:17it was wrecked last night off St Ann's.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20A cryin' waste of life, don't 'ee think, Dr Enys?

0:07:20 > 0:07:21I do indeed, Rosina.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Take Rosina home. I'll see him buried.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Nay, Rosina, 'tis needful 'ee take my arm,

0:07:46 > 0:07:49for fear thy lipsy leg do buckle beneath 'ee.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Oh, yes, Pascoe's asked to see me.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24He's received word from the Warleggans

0:08:24 > 0:08:27regarding my promissory note.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Could we not appeal to our wealthier friends,

0:08:29 > 0:08:31at least to save you from debtors' prison?

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Speak to people.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37That's not how I work.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39So it's against your principles? Nay, Ross, 'tis against your pride!

0:08:39 > 0:08:42This stew is excellent.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Of course.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09It's obvious.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- SHE SCREAMS - What do 'ee do to 'er?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Rosina, can you stand?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Don't be afraid. I'll be here to catch you.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Nay, surgeon, if anyone shall, 'tis I.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26I think...

0:09:26 > 0:09:28I believe.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39What did 'ee do?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41'Tis all mended. There be no pain.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43There was a displacement.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46You've had it so long, the muscles have withered and caused inflammation.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47I'll put a bandage on it for now,

0:09:47 > 0:09:50but soon you'll be able to manage without.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51'Tis a miracle.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53No.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Basic anatomy.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11There seem to be soldiers everywhere.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Events across in France make the gentry nervous.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Events along the coast make the gaugers watchful.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Has it arrived?- As expected.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27The full amount, with interest.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30I did enquire whether the Warleggans...

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I can guess the response.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Quite so.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's to be paid six weeks hence,

0:10:37 > 0:10:39the day after Christmas.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49How are you, Tonkin?

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Good of you to call, Cap'n.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Few others do.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58You've no notion how much your visits have helped me through.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Not to mention this.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Bless you, sir.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06When do you expect to be released?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Soon after Christmas.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Then it will be your turn to visit me.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14George Warleggan has a bill of mine which I cannot pay.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Surely you have assets?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Your shares in Wheal Leisure?

0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Does the mine not prosper? - My shares are worth about £600.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Not even half of what I owe.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Besides, I would not give them the satisfaction.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Then you will suffer.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Then I will suffer.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Ah, Miss Penvenen?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Captain Poldark.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46Seven months away has given me an appetite for such sights.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47And doubtless they for you.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52I was most grieved to hear of your cousin's death.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Thank you.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56We miss him greatly.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58He was your partner in the mine, I believe?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Were you able to continue the venture?

0:12:01 > 0:12:02It goes on.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03Profitably?

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Not profitably.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08And how is Dr Enys?

0:12:08 > 0:12:09A worker of miracles.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12I just came through Sawle and I heard tell of his curing

0:12:12 > 0:12:14a village girl of her lameness.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Rosina Hoblyn?

0:12:15 > 0:12:17You know her?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Of her. How was it done?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22No doubt Dr Enys will enlighten you soon enough.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Did you know Caroline had returned?

0:12:37 > 0:12:39ENYS CLEARS THROAT

0:12:39 > 0:12:41As a matter of fact, yes.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46The attachment's bad,

0:12:46 > 0:12:49I know, and it's my weakness, but I cannot shake it.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52No doubt it will end badly and I'll have my just deserts.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Possibly, but it seems fate does as it pleases...

0:12:58 > 0:13:01..and it has nothing to do with strength or weakness shown.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Take Francis.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07Was there ever a sorrier or less deserved end?

0:13:07 > 0:13:12To walk out of this house and in an hour, to drown like a dog in a well?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14And for nothing.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18That's what I most deplore - the wanton, useless waste of it.

0:13:18 > 0:13:24The quirks of fate which make nonsense of all our striving.

0:13:31 > 0:13:3495 years of age - what do you think of that?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37I think it's high time the coffin-maker

0:13:37 > 0:13:39started taking measurements.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Head of the family, mistress of this house.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45And so I intend to remain.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Good luck with that, old hag.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58Elizabeth.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03You look pale. Are you unwell?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06I've brought a small token for my godson. I know you'll

0:14:06 > 0:14:07accept nothing for yourself.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Well, I...

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Are you looking forward to Christmas?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18I wish I were.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Entertaining on a grand scale is not my preference,

0:14:20 > 0:14:23but my uncle's very thick with Tony Boscoigne, and no doubt

0:14:23 > 0:14:27there's some scheme afoot to throw me under the hooves of his sisters.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Or so your mother believes.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31You've seen her?

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Oh, I'd not intended to mention.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39I have, on occasion, over the last few months,

0:14:39 > 0:14:42prevailed upon her to dine with me.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44You know how much I admire her.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46She speaks very highly of you.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49She has shared with me certain concerns.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50Oh?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52In the wake of Francis...

0:14:52 > 0:14:53Forgive me.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Certain outstanding debts of his,

0:14:56 > 0:14:59accumulating interest, which must be dealt with.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Of course.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03But not until you are out of mourning, and well beyond.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05You're very kind, George.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08As your friend, it's the very least I can do.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Something amiss with that engine.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25I've sent for Trevithick.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Is it worth the while, given how little she's yielding?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30I wonder that.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34It's a cryin' shame we never found that lode Mark Daniel spoke of.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Perhaps he was mistook.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38He was an experienced miner.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39He knew what he was looking at.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Then it's a pity he can't be found and asked the question.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Where?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Ross continues to vex society.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08What's he done now?

0:16:08 > 0:16:09What has he not done?

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Graced the Poldark family pew at church?

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Taken his seat as magistrate on the bench?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17As head of the Poldark family, these things are expected of him.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Oh, but you know Ross and expectation.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24Besides, I've suspicion he'd think he was more than fulfillin'

0:16:24 > 0:16:27his duties in other ways.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Towards Elizabeth, for instance.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33Does that trouble you?

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Ross never tells me what goes on in his meetings with her.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41And I never ask 'im.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42But if you're concerned?

0:16:44 > 0:16:48Seems to me that having a husband's a little bit like goin' to church -

0:16:48 > 0:16:51you either believe in something or you don't.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54And if you don't, then why go at all?

0:16:54 > 0:16:58But if you do, then you've no cause to keep askin' for proof.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02And do you...believe?

0:17:04 > 0:17:05Most o' the time.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Why don't you smile, Mama?

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Well, smiling makes lines upon the face, my love. See?

0:17:25 > 0:17:27And lines make us look older.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29So I must smile less.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Not in public, but here, at home.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35But when you see me not smiling,

0:17:35 > 0:17:38you mustn't think I'm sad or displeased with you,

0:17:38 > 0:17:40only that I'm trying to spare my face.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44It's important for a lady to look her best.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Why?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49You'll understand when you're older.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Seven months has seemed a lifetime.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Did my letters not satisfy you?

0:18:36 > 0:18:39They evoked pleasure and pain in equal measure.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Forgive me, I'm a little at sea.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49All I know for certain is I'm my own mistress,

0:18:49 > 0:18:51yet no freer to follow my heart.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55But I'm here, and you're here -

0:18:55 > 0:18:57perhaps that's all that matters.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00I met your Captain Poldark again.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01He told me.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Would you be jealous if I said I admired him greatly?

0:19:06 > 0:19:12I admire him myself. He's an exceptional man and a dear friend.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15I only wish his circumstances were happier.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Is his cousin's pretty widow the circumstance?

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Or is it some other matter?

0:19:19 > 0:19:21A financial matter.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25And his wife?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27She seems to be universally adored.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Is she the sort of woman that all men desire except her husband?

0:19:32 > 0:19:34It so often happens.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36No great incentive for marriage.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Don't you think I'd be ill-advised to try it?

0:19:41 > 0:19:44Not if you choose the right man.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Shall I choose a miracle worker?

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Who now has an adoring Rosina and a crowd of sickly miners

0:19:49 > 0:19:51battering his door?

0:19:51 > 0:19:54There can't be many physicians of your calibre who give all

0:19:54 > 0:19:56their energies to help the poor.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59How do you live?

0:20:01 > 0:20:04On an income of £40 a year from the two mines,

0:20:04 > 0:20:06plus whatever my patients can spare me.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09I agree, it's very little.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Could you not set up in Oxford or Bath,

0:20:12 > 0:20:14work among people of your own kind?

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Charity is a noble impulse, but should it not begin at home?

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Even in Bath or Oxford, the poor will always be in greater need

0:20:20 > 0:20:22of attention than the rich.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Besides, I've no wish to become a society pet.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Is that what you think I am?

0:20:28 > 0:20:32No, Caroline, I would never suggest that

0:20:32 > 0:20:34or wish you to think that I'm...

0:20:34 > 0:20:36The most noble of men.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38And I the most vacuous of women.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Would you have me pretend to be other than I am?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48I would have you believe that you're better than you think.

0:20:53 > 0:20:54Race me.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Mark Daniel?

0:21:22 > 0:21:26'Twould be too risky, I believe, for him to return to England.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Have you asked my men for news of him?

0:21:28 > 0:21:30I thought I'd come to you first.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34Besides, I'm not sure who to trust.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37The informer who answers to Vercoe might also report to McNeil.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41McNeil claims convalescence, not the Trade, has brought him here.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Do you believe him?- Not a jot.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Our trusted band grows smaller.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52I removed Vigus, now I think to replace Jacka Hoblyn.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Why do you suspect him?

0:21:55 > 0:21:57I suspect everyone.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59'Tis the safest way.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01I think you're mistook.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Jacka's a surly fellow, but I doubt he'd betray his friends.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08Any man'll betray his friends if the price is right.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10As Ted knows to his cost.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Ted, how are you?

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Have you recovered from your sentence?

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Three months' hard labour do feel like three years.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20An' still I'm no closer to knowin' who betrayed me.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24But to Mark Daniel.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28I could put the word out, get a letter to him?

0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'd be very grateful.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33And in exchange...

0:22:33 > 0:22:34Yes?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36One drawback to your cove...

0:22:36 > 0:22:37You've always insisted, haven't you,

0:22:37 > 0:22:39that all must be done in a single night?

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Don't blame you, but 'tis deuced awkward.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47If we could store some of the goods - two, three days...

0:22:48 > 0:22:52Ten men do in three nights what 30 do in one.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Less chance for the informer.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Bring the cargo ashore and hide it,

0:22:58 > 0:23:00if you catch my drift.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07Would be willing to make a small extra payment for the inconvenience.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10A goodwill gesture, so to speak.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13How much of a gesture?

0:23:22 > 0:23:24A secret cache? On our land?

0:23:24 > 0:23:28To store goods during a run, so they can be carried away at leisure.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Or found by the gaugers, and you carried away in chains.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34I'll be in chains regardless soon enough.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Dislike it, Ross.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46If I go to prison for debt, this will mean more money coming in.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49The quicker the debt is paid, the quicker I'm out again.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Unless the goods be found in our house, in which case you'll serve longer still!

0:23:52 > 0:23:55The cache will be built in the library and can be done in one night.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Four or five men to dig it,

0:23:57 > 0:24:00six or eight to use it thereafter.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02And the informer?

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Trencrom will hand-pick his men.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07And in return?

0:24:07 > 0:24:0925 guineas per cargo.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- And a promise to find Mark Daniel. - How will that help?

0:24:12 > 0:24:16He's our last chance of finding copper, of making the mine pay.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20If Grace fails, how will I repay the Warleggans?

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Why can you not appeal to your friends?

0:24:22 > 0:24:26Ray Penvenen, Horace Treneglos, even Trencrom?

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Would they not put up the money to save you from bankruptcy?

0:24:29 > 0:24:30The sum is too great.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32You mean your pride is!

0:24:33 > 0:24:35No-one of sense, however much a friend,

0:24:35 > 0:24:38would loan money to a man with a failing mine,

0:24:38 > 0:24:42for the simple reason that they would never get it back.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44But if I could demonstrate that the mine might prosper,

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I could borrow against its better days.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Until we find Mark Daniel.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54Do I have your consent?

0:24:54 > 0:24:56You dare to ask me that?!

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Knowin' very well that you do exactly what you please,

0:24:58 > 0:25:00with or without my say?

0:25:10 > 0:25:11Were you ever involved

0:25:11 > 0:25:14in Ross Poldark's copper smelting venture?

0:25:15 > 0:25:18I made a minor investment.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22It was an ill-conceived enterprise.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Everyone lost money.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Except the Warleggans.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Why do you ask?

0:25:29 > 0:25:31I believe Ross Poldark has some debt from that time.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34The Warleggans acquired it and are pressing for bankruptcy.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36You're very well informed.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Less than I'd like to be.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43No doubt Dr Enys could enlighten you further.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I shall go to Truro tomorrow.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52It's a poor place to shop, but I need new buckles for my shoes.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54You are your own mistress now, Caroline.

0:25:54 > 0:26:00- So I am.- Though I think you should not allow a natural pleasure in your

0:26:00 > 0:26:06new freedom to override the requirements of good conduct.

0:26:07 > 0:26:12To ride far and unattended in the company of a young man

0:26:12 > 0:26:18of eligible years is to invite comment of an unsavoury nature.

0:26:19 > 0:26:25No doubt it was innocently done, but it is neither fair to me,

0:26:25 > 0:26:28who may seem to countenance it,

0:26:28 > 0:26:31or to the young man himself,

0:26:31 > 0:26:34who may derive from it ambitions beyond his proper sphere.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Thank you for your concern, Uncle.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45If my conduct so bothers you,

0:26:45 > 0:26:47would it not be better for me to quit this house and live elsewhere?

0:26:47 > 0:26:50That would be an excellent solution, were it not

0:26:50 > 0:26:52for the great affection we hold for each other.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Uncle Ray is becoming cross with me, Horace.

0:26:56 > 0:27:00There will shortly be angry words which we shall both regret.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Don't you think we had better change the subject?

0:27:06 > 0:27:09At what hour tomorrow shall you require the carriage?

0:27:10 > 0:27:13At nine, thank you, Uncle.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21"Dear Dr Enys, I should be obliged if you would attend on me

0:27:21 > 0:27:26"tomorrow morning between 10.30 and 11.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30"Obliged, Ray Penvenen."

0:27:38 > 0:27:41My dears, you do recall that I'm to return home today?

0:27:41 > 0:27:45Fiddlesticks! 'Tis nearly Christmas.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47A woman should be with her family at such time.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49My husband would agree with you.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Ah, men - their business to attend to.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54I doubt he's even noticed you're gone.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57His letters suggest otherwise.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59In any case, I've missed him a great deal,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02and have every intention of making up for lost time.

0:28:02 > 0:28:03AGATHA COUGHS

0:28:07 > 0:28:09And you?

0:28:09 > 0:28:11I have an invitation to Nampara.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Shall you accept?

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Geoffrey Charles is eager.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Are you?

0:28:19 > 0:28:22I think it may do me good to have some varied company.

0:28:28 > 0:28:29These guests...

0:28:29 > 0:28:34Are specifically chosen for their use to us - in business,

0:28:34 > 0:28:37in society, in terms of the future.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39Arabella Trevelyan, the Honourable Maria Penrose,

0:28:39 > 0:28:42Eliza Courtney-Prowse... These girls must be all of 17.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46And prime breeding stock. You may examine their teeth if you choose.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50I think I'll ride to Trenwith.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53When will you call in the loans on that estate?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55What's to be gained by staying in the good books

0:28:55 > 0:28:58of a poverty-stricken widow in her late 20s?

0:28:58 > 0:29:00I could alleviate her poverty if I chose,

0:29:00 > 0:29:02but I choose to let her feel it.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06She has made her bed and now she must lie in it.

0:29:16 > 0:29:17Ah!

0:29:19 > 0:29:20Oh, Judas.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27Do 'ee read my fortune?

0:29:27 > 0:29:28Aye, Maid.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30It do tell me, with hands like these,

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Demelza Poldark be no lady.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37This kindling is damp. Has it been seasoned?

0:29:38 > 0:29:39I've no idea.

0:29:43 > 0:29:44Of course not.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52I'm glad to see you allow yourself some luxuries.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Oh, erm, no, 'tis a present for Geoffrey Charles.

0:29:56 > 0:29:57From George.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Oh, has he been here?

0:30:01 > 0:30:04I had to admit him, Ross. He's my chief creditor.

0:30:04 > 0:30:05And his views on your debts?

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Very generous.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09They always have been.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11He offered to waive the interest indefinitely.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13Of course, I could not accept.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17My quarrel with George is not your quarrel.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20If he wants to win your approval, let him.

0:30:20 > 0:30:21You don't have to like him.

0:30:25 > 0:30:26You're shivering.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30I wish I could help you.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33For my own sake, I can bear it.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35But for my son, for his future...

0:30:36 > 0:30:38When Francis came into his estate,

0:30:38 > 0:30:42there was money to live on, comfort, dignity.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46It breaks my heart to think that Geoffrey Charles

0:30:46 > 0:30:48will have so little to his name.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50It breaks my heart, too.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53There's nothing to be done, is there?

0:30:57 > 0:31:00My remaining shares in Wheal Leisure -

0:31:00 > 0:31:03what would you say is their worth?

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Upwards of £600.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08Sell them.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10You wish to devote the money to Wheal Grace.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12No.

0:31:12 > 0:31:13To a special purpose.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19Francis's widow and family are in dire need.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21More so than yours?

0:31:21 > 0:31:26Two years ago, Francis sank his last £600 into Wheal Grace.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29I want Elizabeth Poldark to have it back.

0:31:29 > 0:31:30Will she accept?

0:31:30 > 0:31:33Of course not.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Which is why I need your help.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39When my shares in Wheal Leisure are sold, you'll make an offer

0:31:39 > 0:31:42for Geoffrey Charles's holding in Wheal Grace

0:31:42 > 0:31:46on behalf of an anonymous client whom you represent.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50Elizabeth will accept, and the money can be transferred to her.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53So, do I understand you aright?

0:31:53 > 0:31:57You are offering £600 for a half share

0:31:57 > 0:32:00in a mine which is about to close,

0:32:00 > 0:32:05when you owe George Warleggan, the man who will happily see you

0:32:05 > 0:32:07in debtors' prison...

0:32:07 > 0:32:09£1,400!

0:32:09 > 0:32:10Correct.

0:32:11 > 0:32:17As your banker and friend, I must advise against.

0:32:17 > 0:32:18You cannot afford it.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21And you have your own wife and child to care for.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25Would it not seem as if you value your cousin-in-law's comfort ahead of hers?

0:32:25 > 0:32:27It might, if I chose to tell her.

0:32:27 > 0:32:28Which I do not.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33I am here.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35Francis is not.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39Demelza has resources which Elizabeth does not.

0:32:39 > 0:32:40She's a miner's daughter.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43She has learned to survive.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45Elizabeth is a gentlewoman.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47And you are a madman.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50A madman who can now order his life with a clear conscience.

0:33:16 > 0:33:17My niece is in Truro.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22I have taken the opportunity to summon you.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25I imagine you've some idea why?

0:33:25 > 0:33:27I don't think it's for me to speculate, sir.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30I might wish you'd shown such delicacy in all your dealings.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32I'm sorry you think I have not.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37I refer to your friendship with my niece.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41In what way do you consider that offensive?

0:33:41 > 0:33:45Oh, come, sir, you cannot be ignorant of the ways of the world.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49As for a serious attachment...

0:33:51 > 0:33:53..with a young man of your station...

0:33:53 > 0:33:56- I am a gentleman, sir. - And she is an heiress.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01Much too important a person to be entangled

0:34:01 > 0:34:04with a penniless country doctor like yourself.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06Is that not for her to decide?

0:34:06 > 0:34:09Caroline must marry with my consent.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13Otherwise she will not inherit a penny.

0:34:13 > 0:34:19She has been brought up in the greatest possible luxury.

0:34:19 > 0:34:23Do you suppose that she will sacrifice that

0:34:23 > 0:34:25for the little you have to offer?

0:34:25 > 0:34:27She has given me cause to suppose so.

0:34:27 > 0:34:31- Or you may think she has a private fortune of her own?- I neither know nor care what she has.

0:34:31 > 0:34:32£6,000.

0:34:32 > 0:34:36£6,000 - all you get if you married her.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Until now, I've suffered your comments

0:34:40 > 0:34:44with a due degree of civility, but there are limits, sir.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46God knows I've never given you cause to suppose me

0:34:46 > 0:34:48a fortune hunter, and if you imagine that no man

0:34:48 > 0:34:51without an eye to her inheritance could fall in love with your niece,

0:34:51 > 0:34:55then you greatly underrate her charms and insult us both.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59Well, I hope I have made my views clear.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02And in doing so, you have given me hope.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Caroline's fortune is less than I thought, I'm glad of it.

0:35:05 > 0:35:09A penniless doctor could wed such a fortune yet not be eclipsed by it.

0:35:13 > 0:35:17You will leave this house now, sir, and you will never return.

0:35:17 > 0:35:19You will cease all communication with my niece...

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Caroline is of age, sir.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25Your control may be exercised within these walls, but not beyond.

0:35:27 > 0:35:32I see I have gravely mistaken your character, Dr Enys.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36But at least now we understand each other.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Oh, yes, sir.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41Now we understand each other.

0:35:51 > 0:35:52London is so diverting.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54I may well take a house for the season next year.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57May I hope to be honoured by a visit from yourself?

0:35:57 > 0:35:59I'd be delighted, sir.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01And I'd like to think Elizabeth could be persuaded.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03Well, once she's out of mourning.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05But I dare not hope for it.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08She's been closeted away at Trenwith for so long.

0:36:08 > 0:36:13Yet society deserves to see more of its rarest treasures,

0:36:13 > 0:36:15yourself included.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20SHE CHUCKLES

0:36:27 > 0:36:29Goodbye, little man.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31Look after your mama this Christmas.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33It's what your papa would wish.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37You may think me interfering, but I urge you to let

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Ross and Demelza keep this Christmas to themselves.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42- But...- For your sake, as well as theirs.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42Nothing will happen till nightfall.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Well, that do make all the difference.

0:37:44 > 0:37:45Demelza.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22What can I do?

0:38:22 > 0:38:24I can't beg for money, I can't earn it.

0:38:24 > 0:38:25I can't dig for it,

0:38:25 > 0:38:27I can't tell him not to dig.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30What use am I?

0:38:31 > 0:38:34He should've wed someone like Caroline Penvenen.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42I've known Cap'n Ross since he were a whelp,

0:38:42 > 0:38:44since his mother died.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46She was a good soul, an' a wise.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49- An' I know what she'd say.- What?

0:38:49 > 0:38:51That her lad had met his match.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Maybe that was true once. But now?

0:38:55 > 0:38:56Now I'm his torment.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58And she'd say, serve him right.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02I could crown him.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04An' he scarcely knows I'm there.

0:39:04 > 0:39:05KNOCK AT DOOR

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Prudie, don't answer it!

0:39:08 > 0:39:13Oh, Charlie. I did fear it might be the gaugers.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Why would they suspect a gentleman's house, ma'am?

0:39:16 > 0:39:19I come with a message for Cap'n Ross.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Wait here. I'll fetch him.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27Ross! There's a visitor.

0:39:28 > 0:39:29Charlie.

0:39:32 > 0:39:33What is it?

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Mr Trencrom say if you wish to write a letter

0:39:35 > 0:39:37to Mark Daniel in France, do so.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39I'll see it gets aboard when The One and All sails.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51Ross. I'm so glad you're here.

0:40:51 > 0:40:52I want to know what I must do.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56From Pascoe?

0:40:56 > 0:40:58An offer has been made for Geoffrey Charles's share

0:40:58 > 0:40:59of Wheal Grace.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02It's not the Warleggans, I've already ascertained that.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04Is it not astonishing?

0:41:04 > 0:41:05It's a good price.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07But that someone should offer as much for his share

0:41:07 > 0:41:09as Francis first put into it?

0:41:09 > 0:41:12Has there been some new discovery of ore?

0:41:12 > 0:41:13Far from it.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Everyone knows we must close soon.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18"The prospective buyer is a gentleman who wishes

0:41:18 > 0:41:25"to remain nameless but who has your son's best interest at heart".

0:41:25 > 0:41:26Remarkable.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28What do you advise? Should I consider the offer?

0:41:28 > 0:41:32Consider? You should accept it without delay.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Our situation here... The money, it would make all the difference,

0:41:35 > 0:41:37but for you?

0:41:37 > 0:41:39Are you sure it won't compromise you?

0:41:39 > 0:41:42Your new partner, a stranger?

0:41:42 > 0:41:43I know you think it's best for us,

0:41:43 > 0:41:46but I would hate to think I was taking advantage of our friendship.

0:41:46 > 0:41:49Elizabeth, you must sell.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51This will enormously ease your situation.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54I'm only grateful for your hesitation,

0:41:54 > 0:41:56and your loyalty all these months.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59Loyalty's not all on one side, Ross, nor ever has been.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08I regret I must decline your invitation for Christmas.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10I believe Francis would want me to spend it in his house.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14And I regret that circumstances are such that I cannot

0:42:14 > 0:42:16take care of you as I might wish.

0:42:18 > 0:42:19We both regret that, Ross.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51You've had time to consider your position?

0:42:52 > 0:42:54I have.

0:42:54 > 0:42:58See, Caroline, you must understand that though I might

0:42:58 > 0:43:02tolerate the young man on a professional basis,

0:43:02 > 0:43:05I cannot permit him to have sight of you again

0:43:05 > 0:43:08after his impudent pretensions to your hand.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13I misunderstood his attentions, Uncle.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16Now that I apprehend them, I will know how to behave in future.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18Caroline.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54You're an accomplished rider, Dr Enys.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Clearly such talents would be wasted in city life.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59I have other talents which would not.

0:44:01 > 0:44:03But you can't bear the thought of Bath.

0:44:03 > 0:44:05And you can't bear the thought of marriage.

0:44:07 > 0:44:11To a man of talent, anything is possible.

0:44:15 > 0:44:18Without you, nothing is possible.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39War now seems inevitable.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Merry Christmas, Ross.

0:44:44 > 0:44:46Pitt's called out the military.

0:44:46 > 0:44:49The French are in Antwerp.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51- Gravy?- What?

0:44:52 > 0:44:54Oh, yes, thank you.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03I invited Dwight to join us.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06Oh?

0:45:06 > 0:45:07He declined.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Probably just as well.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12That would have meant two mouthfuls apiece as opposed to three.

0:45:12 > 0:45:15I expect he's meeting Caroline.

0:45:15 > 0:45:17I expect he is.

0:45:18 > 0:45:19From Mr Trencrom.

0:45:25 > 0:45:26Mark Daniel.

0:45:27 > 0:45:29Yes?

0:45:29 > 0:45:32Apparently he's disappeared from the face of the earth.

0:45:34 > 0:45:35Oh.

0:45:36 > 0:45:38Leastways now we know.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41Yes. Now we know our last hope is gone.

0:45:51 > 0:45:53I wish it could be more, my darling.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55Perhaps next Christmas.

0:45:55 > 0:45:59Rose water? Do I require a fumigant?

0:45:59 > 0:46:00No, Aunt, but...

0:46:00 > 0:46:04Francis always knew what I liked. Brandy wine, port and Canary -

0:46:04 > 0:46:06preferably all three.

0:46:06 > 0:46:09Oh, how charming.

0:46:12 > 0:46:13Did you make it yourself?

0:46:13 > 0:46:14Yes, Mama.

0:46:14 > 0:46:18Just the thing for guarding the fire and avoiding society.

0:46:18 > 0:46:22Then we'll all need one. Get your needles out, Elizabeth.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25Mr George Warleggan.

0:46:25 > 0:46:27My compliments of the season, dear ladies.

0:46:27 > 0:46:30Sit by me, child.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33Beware that man's pitchfork and his tail.

0:46:35 > 0:46:39I was passing and wondered if I might beg the favour

0:46:39 > 0:46:41of Elizabeth's company for a few hours?

0:46:41 > 0:46:44We have a small gathering at Cardew.

0:46:44 > 0:46:45Only if she can be spared, of course.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47I fear I cannot.

0:46:47 > 0:46:51We intend to keep Christmas quietly, just among ourselves.

0:46:51 > 0:46:57Elizabeth, dear, allow me to assist you in choosing a suitable gown.

0:47:26 > 0:47:28I wanted to ask your advice.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Yes?

0:47:30 > 0:47:33As Geoffrey Charles's godfather, I will of course be responsible

0:47:33 > 0:47:36for the cost of his education until he completes university.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38That's too generous. I cannot allow...

0:47:38 > 0:47:41I was not asking your permission, Elizabeth,

0:47:41 > 0:47:45only your opinion as to whether you favour Oxford or Cambridge.

0:47:47 > 0:47:49But this is beyond anything, George.

0:47:51 > 0:47:52I don't know what to say.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55Then may I leave you to ponder

0:47:55 > 0:47:57while I fulfil my obligations

0:47:57 > 0:47:59to Miss Trevelyan?

0:47:59 > 0:48:03I believe you know Sir John, Lord Devoran,

0:48:03 > 0:48:06Mr Alfred Barbary, my Uncle Cary.

0:48:06 > 0:48:08Gentlemen.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10Charmed, I'm sure.

0:48:15 > 0:48:19I suspect it won't be long before we see a Mistress George Warleggan.

0:48:19 > 0:48:21Odds on it's the Penrose girl.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24He wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than an honourable...

0:48:24 > 0:48:26Nor should he be.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35I've discussed it with Pascoe.

0:48:35 > 0:48:38We wait until late in the day to tell Cary I cannot pay him.

0:48:38 > 0:48:41Then there's a chance they won't come and arrest me till tomorrow.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44So we shall have one final night at home together.

0:48:46 > 0:48:47Where are you going?

0:48:47 > 0:48:49With you.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51If you think you're to play the hero an' face this alone,

0:48:51 > 0:48:52you're greatly mistook.

0:49:12 > 0:49:13Mistress Poldark.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15This is a surprise.

0:49:16 > 0:49:17Something to fortify you?

0:49:17 > 0:49:19Thank you, I will.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21I fear I'll need it.

0:49:23 > 0:49:28As I told you, the Warleggans declined to extend the loan.

0:49:29 > 0:49:31Thank you.

0:49:31 > 0:49:34'Tis my suspicion they care nothing for the money.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36What they want is the man.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38And here he is.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44And yet I think perhaps they may be disappointed.

0:49:44 > 0:49:45How?

0:49:46 > 0:49:49I recently received a visit.

0:49:49 > 0:49:50From?

0:49:50 > 0:49:54A person who wishes to remain nameless.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59- Harris Pascoe? - Miss Penvenen.

0:49:59 > 0:50:04The proposal I'm instructed to make is this -

0:50:04 > 0:50:08to purchase your debt, in full,

0:50:08 > 0:50:11and arrange a new promissory note

0:50:11 > 0:50:14at a considerably lower rate of interest.

0:50:15 > 0:50:18I don't understand. How could anyone consider that an investment?

0:50:18 > 0:50:21The person concerned regards it as a mark of faith

0:50:21 > 0:50:24in your prospects and integrity.

0:50:24 > 0:50:30If you accept, the full £1,400 will instantly be forthcoming

0:50:30 > 0:50:33and you may take it to the Warleggans this very hour.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35But who is this person? Who would do such a thing?

0:50:35 > 0:50:37- Is it you, Harris?- It is not.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40I need your assurance that no-one else will learn of this arrangement.

0:50:40 > 0:50:43Of course. But surely your uncle...

0:50:43 > 0:50:46Your absolute assurance.

0:50:46 > 0:50:48Can you give it?

0:50:48 > 0:50:50Nor am I at liberty to disclose their name.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52It was their express condition.

0:50:52 > 0:50:54- Is it someone we know? - Is it Trencrom?- Sir Hugh?

0:50:56 > 0:51:00The money is available the moment you sign the new promissory note.

0:51:02 > 0:51:03Is it Horace Treneglos?

0:51:03 > 0:51:05I cannot tell you anything more.

0:51:05 > 0:51:09But you, knowin' this person, do advise us to accept?

0:51:12 > 0:51:16But I, knowing this person,

0:51:16 > 0:51:19do advise you to accept.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28Should we offer him a glass, do you think?

0:51:28 > 0:51:30It may be the last good port he has for a while.

0:51:30 > 0:51:34Why not? We are gentlemen, after all.

0:51:34 > 0:51:36CARY CHUCKLES

0:51:39 > 0:51:40This way, please, sir.

0:51:45 > 0:51:47Good day to you both.

0:51:47 > 0:51:49You know my wife, Demelza.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51Good day to you, ma'am. Delighted you can join us.

0:51:51 > 0:51:54May I offer you some refreshment?

0:51:54 > 0:51:58'Tis most kind of you, sir, but I fear 'twould not be fitting.

0:52:01 > 0:52:04I regret to say, I'm unable to give you the satisfaction.

0:52:04 > 0:52:05Most unfortunate.

0:52:05 > 0:52:07Of visiting me in prison.

0:52:10 > 0:52:13You will have to make do with this.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15What is this foolery?

0:52:15 > 0:52:17Repayment in full.

0:52:17 > 0:52:18With interest.

0:52:20 > 0:52:22We wish you both the compliments of the season.

0:52:27 > 0:52:28How?!

0:52:29 > 0:52:31How has he managed this?

0:52:33 > 0:52:35You told me he had no allies, no friends.

0:52:35 > 0:52:37I was evidently wrong.

0:52:40 > 0:52:42We will bring him down.

0:52:43 > 0:52:46If it takes ten years,

0:52:46 > 0:52:48we will see him in the gutter.

0:52:48 > 0:52:51And his slut, we will make it our mission...

0:52:51 > 0:52:52Compose yourself, Uncle.

0:52:52 > 0:52:55Does half of Cornwall need to hear of this small setback?

0:52:55 > 0:52:57Small! You call it small?

0:52:57 > 0:53:00In the grand scheme of things, it is small.

0:53:01 > 0:53:03And there are other ways to punish him

0:53:03 > 0:53:05which do not involve money.

0:53:17 > 0:53:18From George.

0:53:30 > 0:53:31Prudie?

0:53:31 > 0:53:33Judas!

0:53:33 > 0:53:35What's this?

0:53:35 > 0:53:36A secret cache?

0:53:36 > 0:53:39'Twas the Maid's notion, sir.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41She bid us not to tell 'ee.

0:53:41 > 0:53:42'Tis against 'ee going to prison.

0:53:42 > 0:53:44What else were you not to tell me?

0:53:44 > 0:53:46Do 'ee need a list of all the things she do

0:53:46 > 0:53:49to keep us safe and fed an' warm an' fitty?

0:53:50 > 0:53:55# When the moon is on the sea

0:53:55 > 0:54:00# Kosk yn ta, kosk yn ta

0:54:00 > 0:54:04# Silver pilchards called to thee

0:54:04 > 0:54:09# Kosk yn, kosk yn ta

0:54:09 > 0:54:15# Dream of starry gazey pie

0:54:15 > 0:54:21# Kosk yn, kosk yn ta. #

0:54:21 > 0:54:23Ssh.

0:54:23 > 0:54:27You're right. I barely notice half of what she does.

0:54:29 > 0:54:32Of late, I've barely noticed her at all.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49I bought a few things while you were at the chandlers.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51You shouldn't have.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53We've so little t' spare.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55Well, you had nothing for Christmas.

0:54:55 > 0:54:57Not even my attention.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04I need no gifts, Ross.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08'Tis enough if you still care for me.

0:55:08 > 0:55:10Do you doubt it?

0:55:10 > 0:55:11I've begun to.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15At least...

0:55:15 > 0:55:17Not your liking, but...

0:55:17 > 0:55:18maybe your longing.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22You think I no longer love you?

0:55:23 > 0:55:25Not in that way.

0:55:28 > 0:55:29Open your present.

0:55:45 > 0:55:47What is it?

0:55:47 > 0:55:49Do you not like them?

0:55:51 > 0:55:54They're too fine. When would I wear them?

0:55:54 > 0:55:55Will they suit you?

0:55:55 > 0:55:57I cannot tell.

0:55:58 > 0:56:00Let me see.

0:56:04 > 0:56:05If you like.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40So you are not to be rid of me, my love.

0:57:42 > 0:57:44So I am not to be rid of you, my love.

0:58:15 > 0:58:16You no longer have a reason to call.

0:58:16 > 0:58:19I will always have reason to call, if you wish it.

0:58:19 > 0:58:21Mark Daniel's been found.

0:58:21 > 0:58:23I must meet with him - Grace depends on it.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25There is an informer about.

0:58:25 > 0:58:27I came to tell you I'm leaving.

0:58:27 > 0:58:28To be with Caroline?

0:58:28 > 0:58:29How did you guess?

0:58:29 > 0:58:31Where is Cap'n Poldark?

0:58:31 > 0:58:33Why does Ross not answer my notes?

0:58:33 > 0:58:36Better to rely on one's own resources.

0:58:39 > 0:58:41Ambush!
