Sentenced to three months' hard labour.

0:00:020:00:04

I must go, until December.

0:00:040:00:06

In December I come of age.

0:00:060:00:08

George Warleggan has my promissory note.

0:00:090:00:13

By Christmas, I must find £1,400.

0:00:130:00:16

Or else?

0:00:160:00:17

We lose everything we own and I go to debtors' prison.

0:00:170:00:20

You will never again set foot in my house,

0:00:200:00:22

nor approach me, or my family.

0:00:220:00:24

We are no longer your friends.

0:00:240:00:26

Your great-nephews are digging their own graves.

0:00:260:00:30

'Tis never copper.

0:00:300:00:31

Yes, I think it may be.

0:00:310:00:32

But a piece of my heart will always be yours,

0:00:320:00:35

as a piece of yours will always be mine.

0:00:350:00:37

I don't wonder Ross loves you.

0:00:370:00:39

Do you suppose he still does?

0:00:390:00:41

Ahh!

0:00:410:00:43

Why the hell didn't you learn to swim?

0:00:430:00:45

Still can't get used to Mr Francis bein' gone.

0:02:440:02:47

It breaks my heart to think of him all fired up

0:02:470:02:49

about those rock samples.

0:02:490:02:51

When in the end 'twas only quartz, with schorl and iron oxide mixed.

0:02:510:02:55

Fool's copper.

0:02:550:02:57

Fool's copper.

0:02:570:02:59

Leaving his widow with nothing but debt and shares in a failing mine.

0:02:590:03:02

I'm to Trenwith to see Elizabeth.

0:03:210:03:24

Is Verity's company not enough for her?

0:03:240:03:26

He comes to take Geoffrey Charles to the mine.

0:03:590:04:01

And you?

0:04:010:04:03

I'm trustee of my son's shares in Wheal Grace,

0:04:030:04:05

which is why Ross brings me weekly reports.

0:04:050:04:08

Sometimes twice weekly.

0:04:080:04:10

Uncle Ross is here, Mama.

0:04:100:04:13

Who else can I depend on?

0:04:130:04:14

Is it done?

0:04:260:04:28

"Mr Poldark, I give you notice that your promissory note

0:04:280:04:33

"for £1,000 plus interest at 40%,

0:04:330:04:37

"will fall due and must be paid in full".

0:04:370:04:41

The day after Christmas.

0:04:410:04:43

Do they serve plum pudding in debtors' prison?

0:04:440:04:47

CARY CHUCKLES

0:04:470:04:49

Will you take my coat?

0:04:520:04:54

I do not feel the cold.

0:04:540:04:55

I think you do.

0:04:550:04:57

At any rate, you used to.

0:04:570:04:58

At any rate, it's warmer than Trenwith.

0:05:000:05:02

I must learn to grow a thicker skin.

0:05:050:05:07

Can you?

0:05:090:05:10

Sometimes.

0:05:110:05:12

I miss Francis.

0:05:180:05:19

I miss him too.

0:05:230:05:24

I never thought him the most practical of men,

0:05:240:05:26

yet now I realise how much he dealt with.

0:05:260:05:29

Matters of finance, the estate, the servants -

0:05:290:05:32

decisions which now fall to me.

0:05:320:05:34

Do not hesitate to call upon me, Elizabeth.

0:05:340:05:36

Oh, I do, more often than I should.

0:05:360:05:39

You have your own home and wife and child.

0:05:390:05:42

You seek to share my troubles, yet never tell me your own.

0:05:420:05:46

What of your debts?

0:05:460:05:48

The promissory note, which fell into George's hands?

0:05:480:05:50

Don't trouble yourself.

0:05:500:05:53

The sum was much exaggerated.

0:05:530:05:54

And the mine? How long can we continue with such poor yield?

0:05:560:06:00

For your sake and his, I will squeeze out every last drop

0:06:000:06:03

before it defeats us.

0:06:030:06:04

Uncle Ross looks after us so well.

0:06:070:06:10

Where would we be without him?

0:06:100:06:12

Oi, Maid, even your oils and brittles?

0:06:380:06:40

Not a word to Ross.

0:06:420:06:44

I don't want him thinkin' I fear the worst.

0:06:440:06:45

Ee do fear th' worst.

0:06:450:06:47

If he go to prison, we'll need more 'n a few tetties t' see us through.

0:06:470:06:50

Hush your creenin'.

0:06:500:06:52

If this be his last Christmas here for a while,

0:06:520:06:54

then I mean t' make it a goodly one.

0:06:540:06:56

Dr Enys.

0:07:080:07:10

Is it anyone we know?

0:07:100:07:11

Nay, sir.

0:07:110:07:13

Say it may be from the Parthesia -

0:07:130:07:14

it was wrecked last night off St Ann's.

0:07:140:07:17

A cryin' waste of life, don't 'ee think, Dr Enys?

0:07:170:07:20

I do indeed, Rosina.

0:07:200:07:21

Take Rosina home. I'll see him buried.

0:07:370:07:39

Nay, Rosina, 'tis needful 'ee take my arm,

0:07:420:07:46

for fear thy lipsy leg do buckle beneath 'ee.

0:07:460:07:49

Oh, yes, Pascoe's asked to see me.

0:08:190:08:23

He's received word from the Warleggans

0:08:230:08:24

regarding my promissory note.

0:08:240:08:27

Could we not appeal to our wealthier friends,

0:08:270:08:29

at least to save you from debtors' prison?

0:08:290:08:31

Speak to people.

0:08:330:08:35

That's not how I work.

0:08:350:08:37

So it's against your principles? Nay, Ross, 'tis against your pride!

0:08:370:08:39

This stew is excellent.

0:08:390:08:42

Of course.

0:09:040:09:06

It's obvious.

0:09:060:09:09

-SHE SCREAMS

-What do 'ee do to 'er?

0:09:090:09:11

Rosina, can you stand?

0:09:110:09:13

Don't be afraid. I'll be here to catch you.

0:09:150:09:17

Nay, surgeon, if anyone shall, 'tis I.

0:09:170:09:20

I think...

0:09:240:09:26

I believe.

0:09:260:09:28

What did 'ee do?

0:09:370:09:39

'Tis all mended. There be no pain.

0:09:390:09:41

There was a displacement.

0:09:410:09:43

You've had it so long, the muscles have withered and caused inflammation.

0:09:430:09:46

I'll put a bandage on it for now,

0:09:460:09:47

but soon you'll be able to manage without.

0:09:470:09:50

'Tis a miracle.

0:09:500:09:51

No.

0:09:510:09:53

Basic anatomy.

0:09:530:09:54

There seem to be soldiers everywhere.

0:10:090:10:11

Events across in France make the gentry nervous.

0:10:110:10:14

Events along the coast make the gaugers watchful.

0:10:140:10:17

-Has it arrived?

-As expected.

0:10:200:10:22

The full amount, with interest.

0:10:230:10:27

I did enquire whether the Warleggans...

0:10:270:10:30

I can guess the response.

0:10:300:10:32

Quite so.

0:10:330:10:35

It's to be paid six weeks hence,

0:10:350:10:37

the day after Christmas.

0:10:370:10:39

How are you, Tonkin?

0:10:480:10:49

Good of you to call, Cap'n.

0:10:510:10:52

Few others do.

0:10:520:10:54

You've no notion how much your visits have helped me through.

0:10:540:10:58

Not to mention this.

0:11:000:11:01

Bless you, sir.

0:11:030:11:05

When do you expect to be released?

0:11:050:11:06

Soon after Christmas.

0:11:060:11:08

Then it will be your turn to visit me.

0:11:080:11:10

George Warleggan has a bill of mine which I cannot pay.

0:11:110:11:14

Surely you have assets?

0:11:140:11:16

Your shares in Wheal Leisure?

0:11:160:11:18

-Does the mine not prosper?

-My shares are worth about £600.

0:11:180:11:22

Not even half of what I owe.

0:11:220:11:24

Besides, I would not give them the satisfaction.

0:11:240:11:27

Then you will suffer.

0:11:270:11:28

Then I will suffer.

0:11:300:11:31

Ah, Miss Penvenen?

0:11:380:11:40

Captain Poldark.

0:11:400:11:42

Seven months away has given me an appetite for such sights.

0:11:420:11:46

And doubtless they for you.

0:11:460:11:47

I was most grieved to hear of your cousin's death.

0:11:490:11:52

Thank you.

0:11:520:11:54

We miss him greatly.

0:11:540:11:56

He was your partner in the mine, I believe?

0:11:560:11:58

Were you able to continue the venture?

0:11:580:12:01

It goes on.

0:12:010:12:02

Profitably?

0:12:020:12:03

Not profitably.

0:12:030:12:05

And how is Dr Enys?

0:12:060:12:08

A worker of miracles.

0:12:080:12:09

I just came through Sawle and I heard tell of his curing

0:12:090:12:12

a village girl of her lameness.

0:12:120:12:14

Rosina Hoblyn?

0:12:140:12:15

You know her?

0:12:150:12:17

Of her. How was it done?

0:12:170:12:20

No doubt Dr Enys will enlighten you soon enough.

0:12:200:12:22

Did you know Caroline had returned?

0:12:340:12:36

ENYS CLEARS THROAT

0:12:370:12:39

As a matter of fact, yes.

0:12:390:12:41

The attachment's bad,

0:12:440:12:46

I know, and it's my weakness, but I cannot shake it.

0:12:460:12:49

No doubt it will end badly and I'll have my just deserts.

0:12:490:12:52

Possibly, but it seems fate does as it pleases...

0:12:520:12:56

..and it has nothing to do with strength or weakness shown.

0:12:580:13:01

Take Francis.

0:13:010:13:03

Was there ever a sorrier or less deserved end?

0:13:030:13:07

To walk out of this house and in an hour, to drown like a dog in a well?

0:13:070:13:12

And for nothing.

0:13:120:13:14

That's what I most deplore - the wanton, useless waste of it.

0:13:140:13:18

The quirks of fate which make nonsense of all our striving.

0:13:180:13:24

95 years of age - what do you think of that?

0:13:310:13:34

I think it's high time the coffin-maker

0:13:350:13:37

started taking measurements.

0:13:370:13:39

Head of the family, mistress of this house.

0:13:390:13:43

And so I intend to remain.

0:13:430:13:45

Good luck with that, old hag.

0:13:490:13:51

Elizabeth.

0:13:570:13:58

You look pale. Are you unwell?

0:14:010:14:03

I've brought a small token for my godson. I know you'll

0:14:030:14:06

accept nothing for yourself.

0:14:060:14:07

Well, I...

0:14:070:14:09

Are you looking forward to Christmas?

0:14:140:14:16

I wish I were.

0:14:160:14:18

Entertaining on a grand scale is not my preference,

0:14:180:14:20

but my uncle's very thick with Tony Boscoigne, and no doubt

0:14:200:14:23

there's some scheme afoot to throw me under the hooves of his sisters.

0:14:230:14:27

Or so your mother believes.

0:14:270:14:29

You've seen her?

0:14:290:14:31

Oh, I'd not intended to mention.

0:14:320:14:35

I have, on occasion, over the last few months,

0:14:370:14:39

prevailed upon her to dine with me.

0:14:390:14:42

You know how much I admire her.

0:14:420:14:44

She speaks very highly of you.

0:14:440:14:46

She has shared with me certain concerns.

0:14:460:14:49

Oh?

0:14:490:14:50

In the wake of Francis...

0:14:500:14:52

Forgive me.

0:14:520:14:53

Certain outstanding debts of his,

0:14:530:14:56

accumulating interest, which must be dealt with.

0:14:560:14:59

Of course.

0:14:590:15:00

But not until you are out of mourning, and well beyond.

0:15:000:15:03

You're very kind, George.

0:15:030:15:05

As your friend, it's the very least I can do.

0:15:050:15:08

Something amiss with that engine.

0:15:210:15:23

I've sent for Trevithick.

0:15:230:15:25

Is it worth the while, given how little she's yielding?

0:15:250:15:28

I wonder that.

0:15:280:15:30

It's a cryin' shame we never found that lode Mark Daniel spoke of.

0:15:300:15:34

Perhaps he was mistook.

0:15:340:15:36

He was an experienced miner.

0:15:360:15:38

He knew what he was looking at.

0:15:380:15:39

Then it's a pity he can't be found and asked the question.

0:15:390:15:42

Where?

0:15:440:15:45

Ross continues to vex society.

0:16:040:16:07

What's he done now?

0:16:070:16:08

What has he not done?

0:16:080:16:09

Graced the Poldark family pew at church?

0:16:090:16:12

Taken his seat as magistrate on the bench?

0:16:120:16:14

As head of the Poldark family, these things are expected of him.

0:16:140:16:17

Oh, but you know Ross and expectation.

0:16:170:16:20

Besides, I've suspicion he'd think he was more than fulfillin'

0:16:200:16:24

his duties in other ways.

0:16:240:16:27

Towards Elizabeth, for instance.

0:16:280:16:30

Does that trouble you?

0:16:320:16:33

Ross never tells me what goes on in his meetings with her.

0:16:350:16:38

And I never ask 'im.

0:16:380:16:41

But if you're concerned?

0:16:410:16:42

Seems to me that having a husband's a little bit like goin' to church -

0:16:440:16:48

you either believe in something or you don't.

0:16:480:16:51

And if you don't, then why go at all?

0:16:510:16:54

But if you do, then you've no cause to keep askin' for proof.

0:16:540:16:58

And do you...believe?

0:17:000:17:02

Most o' the time.

0:17:040:17:05

Why don't you smile, Mama?

0:17:170:17:19

Well, smiling makes lines upon the face, my love. See?

0:17:190:17:22

And lines make us look older.

0:17:250:17:27

So I must smile less.

0:17:270:17:29

Not in public, but here, at home.

0:17:290:17:31

But when you see me not smiling,

0:17:340:17:35

you mustn't think I'm sad or displeased with you,

0:17:350:17:38

only that I'm trying to spare my face.

0:17:380:17:40

It's important for a lady to look her best.

0:17:420:17:44

Why?

0:17:450:17:47

You'll understand when you're older.

0:17:470:17:49

Seven months has seemed a lifetime.

0:18:310:18:33

Did my letters not satisfy you?

0:18:330:18:35

They evoked pleasure and pain in equal measure.

0:18:360:18:39

Forgive me, I'm a little at sea.

0:18:430:18:46

All I know for certain is I'm my own mistress,

0:18:460:18:49

yet no freer to follow my heart.

0:18:490:18:51

But I'm here, and you're here -

0:18:510:18:55

perhaps that's all that matters.

0:18:550:18:57

I met your Captain Poldark again.

0:18:570:19:00

He told me.

0:19:000:19:01

Would you be jealous if I said I admired him greatly?

0:19:030:19:06

I admire him myself. He's an exceptional man and a dear friend.

0:19:060:19:12

I only wish his circumstances were happier.

0:19:120:19:15

Is his cousin's pretty widow the circumstance?

0:19:150:19:18

Or is it some other matter?

0:19:180:19:19

A financial matter.

0:19:190:19:21

And his wife?

0:19:230:19:25

She seems to be universally adored.

0:19:250:19:27

Is she the sort of woman that all men desire except her husband?

0:19:270:19:30

It so often happens.

0:19:320:19:34

No great incentive for marriage.

0:19:340:19:36

Don't you think I'd be ill-advised to try it?

0:19:380:19:41

Not if you choose the right man.

0:19:410:19:44

Shall I choose a miracle worker?

0:19:440:19:46

Who now has an adoring Rosina and a crowd of sickly miners

0:19:460:19:49

battering his door?

0:19:490:19:51

There can't be many physicians of your calibre who give all

0:19:510:19:54

their energies to help the poor.

0:19:540:19:56

How do you live?

0:19:570:19:59

On an income of £40 a year from the two mines,

0:20:010:20:04

plus whatever my patients can spare me.

0:20:040:20:06

I agree, it's very little.

0:20:080:20:09

Could you not set up in Oxford or Bath,

0:20:090:20:12

work among people of your own kind?

0:20:120:20:14

Charity is a noble impulse, but should it not begin at home?

0:20:140:20:17

Even in Bath or Oxford, the poor will always be in greater need

0:20:170:20:20

of attention than the rich.

0:20:200:20:22

Besides, I've no wish to become a society pet.

0:20:220:20:25

Is that what you think I am?

0:20:260:20:28

No, Caroline, I would never suggest that

0:20:280:20:32

or wish you to think that I'm...

0:20:320:20:34

The most noble of men.

0:20:340:20:36

And I the most vacuous of women.

0:20:360:20:38

Would you have me pretend to be other than I am?

0:20:400:20:42

I would have you believe that you're better than you think.

0:20:450:20:48

Race me.

0:20:530:20:54

Mark Daniel?

0:21:210:21:22

'Twould be too risky, I believe, for him to return to England.

0:21:220:21:26

Have you asked my men for news of him?

0:21:260:21:28

I thought I'd come to you first.

0:21:280:21:30

Besides, I'm not sure who to trust.

0:21:300:21:34

The informer who answers to Vercoe might also report to McNeil.

0:21:340:21:37

McNeil claims convalescence, not the Trade, has brought him here.

0:21:370:21:41

-Do you believe him?

-Not a jot.

0:21:410:21:43

Our trusted band grows smaller.

0:21:450:21:48

I removed Vigus, now I think to replace Jacka Hoblyn.

0:21:480:21:52

Why do you suspect him?

0:21:530:21:55

I suspect everyone.

0:21:550:21:57

'Tis the safest way.

0:21:570:21:59

I think you're mistook.

0:21:590:22:01

Jacka's a surly fellow, but I doubt he'd betray his friends.

0:22:010:22:04

Any man'll betray his friends if the price is right.

0:22:040:22:08

As Ted knows to his cost.

0:22:080:22:10

Ted, how are you?

0:22:100:22:13

Have you recovered from your sentence?

0:22:130:22:15

Three months' hard labour do feel like three years.

0:22:150:22:18

An' still I'm no closer to knowin' who betrayed me.

0:22:180:22:20

But to Mark Daniel.

0:22:230:22:24

I could put the word out, get a letter to him?

0:22:250:22:28

I'd be very grateful.

0:22:280:22:30

And in exchange...

0:22:300:22:33

Yes?

0:22:330:22:34

One drawback to your cove...

0:22:340:22:36

You've always insisted, haven't you,

0:22:360:22:37

that all must be done in a single night?

0:22:370:22:39

Don't blame you, but 'tis deuced awkward.

0:22:390:22:42

If we could store some of the goods - two, three days...

0:22:440:22:47

Ten men do in three nights what 30 do in one.

0:22:480:22:52

Less chance for the informer.

0:22:520:22:55

Bring the cargo ashore and hide it,

0:22:550:22:58

if you catch my drift.

0:22:580:23:00

Would be willing to make a small extra payment for the inconvenience.

0:23:020:23:07

A goodwill gesture, so to speak.

0:23:080:23:10

How much of a gesture?

0:23:110:23:13

A secret cache? On our land?

0:23:220:23:24

To store goods during a run, so they can be carried away at leisure.

0:23:240:23:28

Or found by the gaugers, and you carried away in chains.

0:23:280:23:32

I'll be in chains regardless soon enough.

0:23:320:23:34

Dislike it, Ross.

0:23:380:23:40

If I go to prison for debt, this will mean more money coming in.

0:23:420:23:46

The quicker the debt is paid, the quicker I'm out again.

0:23:460:23:49

Unless the goods be found in our house, in which case you'll serve longer still!

0:23:490:23:52

The cache will be built in the library and can be done in one night.

0:23:520:23:55

Four or five men to dig it,

0:23:550:23:57

six or eight to use it thereafter.

0:23:570:24:00

And the informer?

0:24:000:24:02

Trencrom will hand-pick his men.

0:24:020:24:04

And in return?

0:24:050:24:07

25 guineas per cargo.

0:24:070:24:09

-And a promise to find Mark Daniel.

-How will that help?

0:24:090:24:12

He's our last chance of finding copper, of making the mine pay.

0:24:120:24:16

If Grace fails, how will I repay the Warleggans?

0:24:160:24:20

Why can you not appeal to your friends?

0:24:200:24:22

Ray Penvenen, Horace Treneglos, even Trencrom?

0:24:220:24:26

Would they not put up the money to save you from bankruptcy?

0:24:260:24:29

The sum is too great.

0:24:290:24:30

You mean your pride is!

0:24:300:24:32

No-one of sense, however much a friend,

0:24:330:24:35

would loan money to a man with a failing mine,

0:24:350:24:38

for the simple reason that they would never get it back.

0:24:380:24:42

But if I could demonstrate that the mine might prosper,

0:24:420:24:44

I could borrow against its better days.

0:24:440:24:47

Until we find Mark Daniel.

0:24:490:24:51

Do I have your consent?

0:24:530:24:54

You dare to ask me that?!

0:24:540:24:56

Knowin' very well that you do exactly what you please,

0:24:560:24:58

with or without my say?

0:24:580:25:00

Were you ever involved

0:25:100:25:11

in Ross Poldark's copper smelting venture?

0:25:110:25:14

I made a minor investment.

0:25:150:25:18

It was an ill-conceived enterprise.

0:25:190:25:22

Everyone lost money.

0:25:220:25:24

Except the Warleggans.

0:25:240:25:26

Why do you ask?

0:25:270:25:29

I believe Ross Poldark has some debt from that time.

0:25:290:25:31

The Warleggans acquired it and are pressing for bankruptcy.

0:25:310:25:34

You're very well informed.

0:25:340:25:36

Less than I'd like to be.

0:25:370:25:39

No doubt Dr Enys could enlighten you further.

0:25:390:25:43

I shall go to Truro tomorrow.

0:25:460:25:48

It's a poor place to shop, but I need new buckles for my shoes.

0:25:480:25:52

You are your own mistress now, Caroline.

0:25:520:25:54

-So I am.

-Though I think you should not allow a natural pleasure in your

0:25:540:26:00

new freedom to override the requirements of good conduct.

0:26:000:26:06

To ride far and unattended in the company of a young man

0:26:070:26:12

of eligible years is to invite comment of an unsavoury nature.

0:26:120:26:18

No doubt it was innocently done, but it is neither fair to me,

0:26:190:26:25

who may seem to countenance it,

0:26:250:26:28

or to the young man himself,

0:26:280:26:31

who may derive from it ambitions beyond his proper sphere.

0:26:310:26:34

Thank you for your concern, Uncle.

0:26:380:26:42

If my conduct so bothers you,

0:26:420:26:45

would it not be better for me to quit this house and live elsewhere?

0:26:450:26:47

That would be an excellent solution, were it not

0:26:470:26:50

for the great affection we hold for each other.

0:26:500:26:52

Uncle Ray is becoming cross with me, Horace.

0:26:540:26:56

There will shortly be angry words which we shall both regret.

0:26:560:27:00

Don't you think we had better change the subject?

0:27:000:27:03

At what hour tomorrow shall you require the carriage?

0:27:060:27:09

At nine, thank you, Uncle.

0:27:100:27:13

"Dear Dr Enys, I should be obliged if you would attend on me

0:27:170:27:21

"tomorrow morning between 10.30 and 11.

0:27:210:27:26

"Obliged, Ray Penvenen."

0:27:260:27:30

My dears, you do recall that I'm to return home today?

0:27:380:27:41

Fiddlesticks! 'Tis nearly Christmas.

0:27:410:27:45

A woman should be with her family at such time.

0:27:450:27:47

My husband would agree with you.

0:27:470:27:49

Ah, men - their business to attend to.

0:27:490:27:52

I doubt he's even noticed you're gone.

0:27:520:27:54

His letters suggest otherwise.

0:27:540:27:57

In any case, I've missed him a great deal,

0:27:570:27:59

and have every intention of making up for lost time.

0:27:590:28:02

AGATHA COUGHS

0:28:020:28:03

And you?

0:28:070:28:09

I have an invitation to Nampara.

0:28:090:28:11

Shall you accept?

0:28:130:28:15

Geoffrey Charles is eager.

0:28:150:28:17

Are you?

0:28:170:28:19

I think it may do me good to have some varied company.

0:28:190:28:22

These guests...

0:28:280:28:29

Are specifically chosen for their use to us - in business,

0:28:290:28:34

in society, in terms of the future.

0:28:340:28:37

Arabella Trevelyan, the Honourable Maria Penrose,

0:28:370:28:39

Eliza Courtney-Prowse... These girls must be all of 17.

0:28:390:28:42

And prime breeding stock. You may examine their teeth if you choose.

0:28:420:28:46

I think I'll ride to Trenwith.

0:28:480:28:50

When will you call in the loans on that estate?

0:28:500:28:53

What's to be gained by staying in the good books

0:28:530:28:55

of a poverty-stricken widow in her late 20s?

0:28:550:28:58

I could alleviate her poverty if I chose,

0:28:580:29:00

but I choose to let her feel it.

0:29:000:29:02

She has made her bed and now she must lie in it.

0:29:040:29:06

Ah!

0:29:160:29:17

Oh, Judas.

0:29:190:29:20

Do 'ee read my fortune?

0:29:250:29:27

Aye, Maid.

0:29:270:29:28

It do tell me, with hands like these,

0:29:280:29:30

Demelza Poldark be no lady.

0:29:300:29:32

This kindling is damp. Has it been seasoned?

0:29:340:29:37

I've no idea.

0:29:380:29:39

Of course not.

0:29:430:29:44

I'm glad to see you allow yourself some luxuries.

0:29:490:29:52

Oh, erm, no, 'tis a present for Geoffrey Charles.

0:29:520:29:56

From George.

0:29:560:29:57

Oh, has he been here?

0:29:590:30:01

I had to admit him, Ross. He's my chief creditor.

0:30:010:30:04

And his views on your debts?

0:30:040:30:05

Very generous.

0:30:050:30:07

They always have been.

0:30:070:30:09

He offered to waive the interest indefinitely.

0:30:090:30:11

Of course, I could not accept.

0:30:110:30:13

My quarrel with George is not your quarrel.

0:30:130:30:17

If he wants to win your approval, let him.

0:30:170:30:20

You don't have to like him.

0:30:200:30:21

You're shivering.

0:30:250:30:26

I wish I could help you.

0:30:280:30:30

For my own sake, I can bear it.

0:30:300:30:33

But for my son, for his future...

0:30:330:30:35

When Francis came into his estate,

0:30:360:30:38

there was money to live on, comfort, dignity.

0:30:380:30:42

It breaks my heart to think that Geoffrey Charles

0:30:440:30:46

will have so little to his name.

0:30:460:30:48

It breaks my heart, too.

0:30:480:30:50

There's nothing to be done, is there?

0:30:510:30:53

My remaining shares in Wheal Leisure -

0:30:570:31:00

what would you say is their worth?

0:31:000:31:03

Upwards of £600.

0:31:030:31:05

Sell them.

0:31:060:31:08

You wish to devote the money to Wheal Grace.

0:31:080:31:10

No.

0:31:100:31:12

To a special purpose.

0:31:120:31:13

Francis's widow and family are in dire need.

0:31:150:31:19

More so than yours?

0:31:190:31:21

Two years ago, Francis sank his last £600 into Wheal Grace.

0:31:210:31:26

I want Elizabeth Poldark to have it back.

0:31:260:31:29

Will she accept?

0:31:290:31:30

Of course not.

0:31:300:31:33

Which is why I need your help.

0:31:330:31:35

When my shares in Wheal Leisure are sold, you'll make an offer

0:31:350:31:39

for Geoffrey Charles's holding in Wheal Grace

0:31:390:31:42

on behalf of an anonymous client whom you represent.

0:31:420:31:46

Elizabeth will accept, and the money can be transferred to her.

0:31:460:31:50

So, do I understand you aright?

0:31:500:31:53

You are offering £600 for a half share

0:31:530:31:57

in a mine which is about to close,

0:31:570:32:00

when you owe George Warleggan, the man who will happily see you

0:32:000:32:05

in debtors' prison...

0:32:050:32:07

£1,400!

0:32:070:32:09

Correct.

0:32:090:32:10

As your banker and friend, I must advise against.

0:32:110:32:17

You cannot afford it.

0:32:170:32:18

And you have your own wife and child to care for.

0:32:180:32:21

Would it not seem as if you value your cousin-in-law's comfort ahead of hers?

0:32:210:32:25

It might, if I chose to tell her.

0:32:250:32:27

Which I do not.

0:32:270:32:28

I am here.

0:32:310:32:33

Francis is not.

0:32:330:32:35

Demelza has resources which Elizabeth does not.

0:32:350:32:39

She's a miner's daughter.

0:32:390:32:40

She has learned to survive.

0:32:400:32:43

Elizabeth is a gentlewoman.

0:32:430:32:45

And you are a madman.

0:32:450:32:47

A madman who can now order his life with a clear conscience.

0:32:470:32:50

My niece is in Truro.

0:33:160:33:17

I have taken the opportunity to summon you.

0:33:190:33:22

I imagine you've some idea why?

0:33:230:33:25

I don't think it's for me to speculate, sir.

0:33:250:33:27

I might wish you'd shown such delicacy in all your dealings.

0:33:270:33:30

I'm sorry you think I have not.

0:33:300:33:32

I refer to your friendship with my niece.

0:33:330:33:37

In what way do you consider that offensive?

0:33:390:33:41

Oh, come, sir, you cannot be ignorant of the ways of the world.

0:33:410:33:45

As for a serious attachment...

0:33:460:33:49

..with a young man of your station...

0:33:510:33:53

-I am a gentleman, sir.

-And she is an heiress.

0:33:530:33:56

Much too important a person to be entangled

0:33:580:34:01

with a penniless country doctor like yourself.

0:34:010:34:04

Is that not for her to decide?

0:34:040:34:06

Caroline must marry with my consent.

0:34:060:34:09

Otherwise she will not inherit a penny.

0:34:100:34:13

She has been brought up in the greatest possible luxury.

0:34:130:34:19

Do you suppose that she will sacrifice that

0:34:190:34:23

for the little you have to offer?

0:34:230:34:25

She has given me cause to suppose so.

0:34:250:34:27

-Or you may think she has a private fortune of her own?

-I neither know nor care what she has.

0:34:270:34:31

£6,000.

0:34:310:34:32

£6,000 - all you get if you married her.

0:34:320:34:36

Until now, I've suffered your comments

0:34:380:34:40

with a due degree of civility, but there are limits, sir.

0:34:400:34:44

God knows I've never given you cause to suppose me

0:34:440:34:46

a fortune hunter, and if you imagine that no man

0:34:460:34:48

without an eye to her inheritance could fall in love with your niece,

0:34:480:34:51

then you greatly underrate her charms and insult us both.

0:34:510:34:55

Well, I hope I have made my views clear.

0:34:550:34:59

And in doing so, you have given me hope.

0:34:590:35:02

Caroline's fortune is less than I thought, I'm glad of it.

0:35:020:35:05

A penniless doctor could wed such a fortune yet not be eclipsed by it.

0:35:050:35:09

You will leave this house now, sir, and you will never return.

0:35:130:35:17

You will cease all communication with my niece...

0:35:170:35:19

Caroline is of age, sir.

0:35:190:35:21

Your control may be exercised within these walls, but not beyond.

0:35:210:35:25

I see I have gravely mistaken your character, Dr Enys.

0:35:270:35:32

But at least now we understand each other.

0:35:330:35:36

Oh, yes, sir.

0:35:380:35:40

Now we understand each other.

0:35:400:35:41

London is so diverting.

0:35:510:35:52

I may well take a house for the season next year.

0:35:520:35:54

May I hope to be honoured by a visit from yourself?

0:35:540:35:57

I'd be delighted, sir.

0:35:570:35:59

And I'd like to think Elizabeth could be persuaded.

0:35:590:36:01

Well, once she's out of mourning.

0:36:010:36:03

But I dare not hope for it.

0:36:030:36:05

She's been closeted away at Trenwith for so long.

0:36:050:36:08

Yet society deserves to see more of its rarest treasures,

0:36:080:36:13

yourself included.

0:36:130:36:15

SHE CHUCKLES

0:36:180:36:20

Goodbye, little man.

0:36:270:36:29

Look after your mama this Christmas.

0:36:290:36:31

It's what your papa would wish.

0:36:310:36:33

You may think me interfering, but I urge you to let

0:36:350:36:37

Ross and Demelza keep this Christmas to themselves.

0:36:370:36:39

-But...

-For your sake, as well as theirs.

0:36:390:36:42

Nothing will happen till nightfall.

0:37:390:37:42

Well, that do make all the difference.

0:37:420:37:44

Demelza.

0:37:440:37:45

What can I do?

0:38:200:38:22

I can't beg for money, I can't earn it.

0:38:220:38:24

I can't dig for it,

0:38:240:38:25

I can't tell him not to dig.

0:38:250:38:27

What use am I?

0:38:280:38:30

He should've wed someone like Caroline Penvenen.

0:38:310:38:34

I've known Cap'n Ross since he were a whelp,

0:38:380:38:42

since his mother died.

0:38:420:38:44

She was a good soul, an' a wise.

0:38:440:38:46

-An' I know what she'd say.

-What?

0:38:470:38:49

That her lad had met his match.

0:38:490:38:51

Maybe that was true once. But now?

0:38:520:38:55

Now I'm his torment.

0:38:550:38:56

And she'd say, serve him right.

0:38:560:38:58

I could crown him.

0:38:590:39:02

An' he scarcely knows I'm there.

0:39:020:39:04

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:39:040:39:05

Prudie, don't answer it!

0:39:050:39:08

Oh, Charlie. I did fear it might be the gaugers.

0:39:080:39:13

Why would they suspect a gentleman's house, ma'am?

0:39:130:39:16

I come with a message for Cap'n Ross.

0:39:160:39:19

Wait here. I'll fetch him.

0:39:190:39:21

Ross! There's a visitor.

0:39:240:39:27

Charlie.

0:39:280:39:29

What is it?

0:39:320:39:33

Mr Trencrom say if you wish to write a letter

0:39:330:39:35

to Mark Daniel in France, do so.

0:39:350:39:37

I'll see it gets aboard when The One and All sails.

0:39:370:39:39

Ross. I'm so glad you're here.

0:40:490:40:51

I want to know what I must do.

0:40:510:40:52

From Pascoe?

0:40:540:40:56

An offer has been made for Geoffrey Charles's share

0:40:560:40:58

of Wheal Grace.

0:40:580:40:59

It's not the Warleggans, I've already ascertained that.

0:40:590:41:02

Is it not astonishing?

0:41:020:41:04

It's a good price.

0:41:040:41:05

But that someone should offer as much for his share

0:41:050:41:07

as Francis first put into it?

0:41:070:41:09

Has there been some new discovery of ore?

0:41:090:41:12

Far from it.

0:41:120:41:13

Everyone knows we must close soon.

0:41:130:41:15

"The prospective buyer is a gentleman who wishes

0:41:150:41:18

"to remain nameless but who has your son's best interest at heart".

0:41:180:41:25

Remarkable.

0:41:250:41:26

What do you advise? Should I consider the offer?

0:41:260:41:28

Consider? You should accept it without delay.

0:41:280:41:32

Our situation here... The money, it would make all the difference,

0:41:320:41:35

but for you?

0:41:350:41:37

Are you sure it won't compromise you?

0:41:370:41:39

Your new partner, a stranger?

0:41:390:41:42

I know you think it's best for us,

0:41:420:41:43

but I would hate to think I was taking advantage of our friendship.

0:41:430:41:46

Elizabeth, you must sell.

0:41:460:41:49

This will enormously ease your situation.

0:41:490:41:51

I'm only grateful for your hesitation,

0:41:520:41:54

and your loyalty all these months.

0:41:540:41:56

Loyalty's not all on one side, Ross, nor ever has been.

0:41:560:41:59

I regret I must decline your invitation for Christmas.

0:42:040:42:08

I believe Francis would want me to spend it in his house.

0:42:080:42:10

And I regret that circumstances are such that I cannot

0:42:120:42:14

take care of you as I might wish.

0:42:140:42:16

We both regret that, Ross.

0:42:180:42:19

You've had time to consider your position?

0:42:480:42:51

I have.

0:42:520:42:54

See, Caroline, you must understand that though I might

0:42:540:42:58

tolerate the young man on a professional basis,

0:42:580:43:02

I cannot permit him to have sight of you again

0:43:020:43:05

after his impudent pretensions to your hand.

0:43:050:43:08

I misunderstood his attentions, Uncle.

0:43:100:43:13

Now that I apprehend them, I will know how to behave in future.

0:43:130:43:16

Caroline.

0:43:160:43:18

You're an accomplished rider, Dr Enys.

0:43:510:43:54

Clearly such talents would be wasted in city life.

0:43:540:43:57

I have other talents which would not.

0:43:570:43:59

But you can't bear the thought of Bath.

0:44:010:44:03

And you can't bear the thought of marriage.

0:44:030:44:05

To a man of talent, anything is possible.

0:44:070:44:11

Without you, nothing is possible.

0:44:150:44:18

War now seems inevitable.

0:44:370:44:39

Merry Christmas, Ross.

0:44:410:44:44

Pitt's called out the military.

0:44:440:44:46

The French are in Antwerp.

0:44:460:44:49

-Gravy?

-What?

0:44:490:44:51

Oh, yes, thank you.

0:44:520:44:54

I invited Dwight to join us.

0:45:010:45:03

Oh?

0:45:040:45:06

He declined.

0:45:060:45:07

Probably just as well.

0:45:070:45:09

That would have meant two mouthfuls apiece as opposed to three.

0:45:090:45:12

I expect he's meeting Caroline.

0:45:120:45:15

I expect he is.

0:45:150:45:17

From Mr Trencrom.

0:45:180:45:19

Mark Daniel.

0:45:250:45:26

Yes?

0:45:270:45:29

Apparently he's disappeared from the face of the earth.

0:45:290:45:32

Oh.

0:45:340:45:35

Leastways now we know.

0:45:360:45:38

Yes. Now we know our last hope is gone.

0:45:380:45:41

I wish it could be more, my darling.

0:45:510:45:53

Perhaps next Christmas.

0:45:530:45:55

Rose water? Do I require a fumigant?

0:45:550:45:59

No, Aunt, but...

0:45:590:46:00

Francis always knew what I liked. Brandy wine, port and Canary -

0:46:000:46:04

preferably all three.

0:46:040:46:06

Oh, how charming.

0:46:060:46:09

Did you make it yourself?

0:46:120:46:13

Yes, Mama.

0:46:130:46:14

Just the thing for guarding the fire and avoiding society.

0:46:140:46:18

Then we'll all need one. Get your needles out, Elizabeth.

0:46:180:46:22

Mr George Warleggan.

0:46:230:46:25

My compliments of the season, dear ladies.

0:46:250:46:27

Sit by me, child.

0:46:270:46:30

Beware that man's pitchfork and his tail.

0:46:300:46:33

I was passing and wondered if I might beg the favour

0:46:350:46:39

of Elizabeth's company for a few hours?

0:46:390:46:41

We have a small gathering at Cardew.

0:46:410:46:44

Only if she can be spared, of course.

0:46:440:46:45

I fear I cannot.

0:46:450:46:47

We intend to keep Christmas quietly, just among ourselves.

0:46:470:46:51

Elizabeth, dear, allow me to assist you in choosing a suitable gown.

0:46:510:46:57

I wanted to ask your advice.

0:47:260:47:28

Yes?

0:47:280:47:30

As Geoffrey Charles's godfather, I will of course be responsible

0:47:300:47:33

for the cost of his education until he completes university.

0:47:330:47:36

That's too generous. I cannot allow...

0:47:360:47:38

I was not asking your permission, Elizabeth,

0:47:380:47:41

only your opinion as to whether you favour Oxford or Cambridge.

0:47:410:47:45

But this is beyond anything, George.

0:47:470:47:49

I don't know what to say.

0:47:510:47:52

Then may I leave you to ponder

0:47:530:47:55

while I fulfil my obligations

0:47:550:47:57

to Miss Trevelyan?

0:47:570:47:59

I believe you know Sir John, Lord Devoran,

0:47:590:48:03

Mr Alfred Barbary, my Uncle Cary.

0:48:030:48:06

Gentlemen.

0:48:060:48:08

Charmed, I'm sure.

0:48:080:48:10

I suspect it won't be long before we see a Mistress George Warleggan.

0:48:150:48:19

Odds on it's the Penrose girl.

0:48:190:48:21

He wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than an honourable...

0:48:210:48:24

Nor should he be.

0:48:240:48:26

I've discussed it with Pascoe.

0:48:320:48:35

We wait until late in the day to tell Cary I cannot pay him.

0:48:350:48:38

Then there's a chance they won't come and arrest me till tomorrow.

0:48:380:48:41

So we shall have one final night at home together.

0:48:410:48:44

Where are you going?

0:48:460:48:47

With you.

0:48:470:48:49

If you think you're to play the hero an' face this alone,

0:48:490:48:51

you're greatly mistook.

0:48:510:48:52

Mistress Poldark.

0:49:120:49:13

This is a surprise.

0:49:130:49:15

Something to fortify you?

0:49:160:49:17

Thank you, I will.

0:49:170:49:19

I fear I'll need it.

0:49:190:49:21

As I told you, the Warleggans declined to extend the loan.

0:49:230:49:28

Thank you.

0:49:290:49:31

'Tis my suspicion they care nothing for the money.

0:49:310:49:34

What they want is the man.

0:49:340:49:36

And here he is.

0:49:360:49:38

And yet I think perhaps they may be disappointed.

0:49:400:49:44

How?

0:49:440:49:45

I recently received a visit.

0:49:460:49:49

From?

0:49:490:49:50

A person who wishes to remain nameless.

0:49:500:49:54

-Harris Pascoe?

-Miss Penvenen.

0:49:560:49:59

The proposal I'm instructed to make is this -

0:49:590:50:04

to purchase your debt, in full,

0:50:040:50:08

and arrange a new promissory note

0:50:080:50:11

at a considerably lower rate of interest.

0:50:110:50:14

I don't understand. How could anyone consider that an investment?

0:50:150:50:18

The person concerned regards it as a mark of faith

0:50:180:50:21

in your prospects and integrity.

0:50:210:50:24

If you accept, the full £1,400 will instantly be forthcoming

0:50:240:50:30

and you may take it to the Warleggans this very hour.

0:50:300:50:33

But who is this person? Who would do such a thing?

0:50:330:50:35

-Is it you, Harris?

-It is not.

0:50:350:50:37

I need your assurance that no-one else will learn of this arrangement.

0:50:370:50:40

Of course. But surely your uncle...

0:50:400:50:43

Your absolute assurance.

0:50:430:50:46

Can you give it?

0:50:460:50:48

Nor am I at liberty to disclose their name.

0:50:480:50:50

It was their express condition.

0:50:500:50:52

-Is it someone we know?

-Is it Trencrom?

-Sir Hugh?

0:50:520:50:54

The money is available the moment you sign the new promissory note.

0:50:560:51:00

Is it Horace Treneglos?

0:51:020:51:03

I cannot tell you anything more.

0:51:030:51:05

But you, knowin' this person, do advise us to accept?

0:51:050:51:09

But I, knowing this person,

0:51:120:51:16

do advise you to accept.

0:51:160:51:19

Should we offer him a glass, do you think?

0:51:260:51:28

It may be the last good port he has for a while.

0:51:280:51:30

Why not? We are gentlemen, after all.

0:51:300:51:34

CARY CHUCKLES

0:51:340:51:36

This way, please, sir.

0:51:390:51:40

Good day to you both.

0:51:450:51:47

You know my wife, Demelza.

0:51:470:51:49

Good day to you, ma'am. Delighted you can join us.

0:51:490:51:51

May I offer you some refreshment?

0:51:510:51:54

'Tis most kind of you, sir, but I fear 'twould not be fitting.

0:51:540:51:58

I regret to say, I'm unable to give you the satisfaction.

0:52:010:52:04

Most unfortunate.

0:52:040:52:05

Of visiting me in prison.

0:52:050:52:07

You will have to make do with this.

0:52:100:52:13

What is this foolery?

0:52:130:52:15

Repayment in full.

0:52:150:52:17

With interest.

0:52:170:52:18

We wish you both the compliments of the season.

0:52:200:52:22

How?!

0:52:270:52:28

How has he managed this?

0:52:290:52:31

You told me he had no allies, no friends.

0:52:330:52:35

I was evidently wrong.

0:52:350:52:37

We will bring him down.

0:52:400:52:42

If it takes ten years,

0:52:430:52:46

we will see him in the gutter.

0:52:460:52:48

And his slut, we will make it our mission...

0:52:480:52:51

Compose yourself, Uncle.

0:52:510:52:52

Does half of Cornwall need to hear of this small setback?

0:52:520:52:55

Small! You call it small?

0:52:550:52:57

In the grand scheme of things, it is small.

0:52:570:53:00

And there are other ways to punish him

0:53:010:53:03

which do not involve money.

0:53:030:53:05

From George.

0:53:170:53:18

Prudie?

0:53:300:53:31

Judas!

0:53:310:53:33

What's this?

0:53:330:53:35

A secret cache?

0:53:350:53:36

'Twas the Maid's notion, sir.

0:53:360:53:39

She bid us not to tell 'ee.

0:53:390:53:41

'Tis against 'ee going to prison.

0:53:410:53:42

What else were you not to tell me?

0:53:420:53:44

Do 'ee need a list of all the things she do

0:53:440:53:46

to keep us safe and fed an' warm an' fitty?

0:53:460:53:49

# When the moon is on the sea

0:53:500:53:55

# Kosk yn ta, kosk yn ta

0:53:550:54:00

# Silver pilchards called to thee

0:54:000:54:04

# Kosk yn, kosk yn ta

0:54:040:54:09

# Dream of starry gazey pie

0:54:090:54:15

# Kosk yn, kosk yn ta. #

0:54:150:54:21

Ssh.

0:54:210:54:23

You're right. I barely notice half of what she does.

0:54:230:54:27

Of late, I've barely noticed her at all.

0:54:290:54:32

I bought a few things while you were at the chandlers.

0:54:470:54:49

You shouldn't have.

0:54:490:54:51

We've so little t' spare.

0:54:510:54:53

Well, you had nothing for Christmas.

0:54:530:54:55

Not even my attention.

0:54:550:54:57

I need no gifts, Ross.

0:55:020:55:04

'Tis enough if you still care for me.

0:55:050:55:08

Do you doubt it?

0:55:080:55:10

I've begun to.

0:55:100:55:11

At least...

0:55:130:55:15

Not your liking, but...

0:55:150:55:17

maybe your longing.

0:55:170:55:18

You think I no longer love you?

0:55:200:55:22

Not in that way.

0:55:230:55:25

Open your present.

0:55:280:55:29

What is it?

0:55:450:55:47

Do you not like them?

0:55:470:55:49

They're too fine. When would I wear them?

0:55:510:55:54

Will they suit you?

0:55:540:55:55

I cannot tell.

0:55:550:55:57

Let me see.

0:55:580:56:00

If you like.

0:56:040:56:05

So you are not to be rid of me, my love.

0:57:380:57:40

So I am not to be rid of you, my love.

0:57:420:57:44

You no longer have a reason to call.

0:58:150:58:16

I will always have reason to call, if you wish it.

0:58:160:58:19

Mark Daniel's been found.

0:58:190:58:21

I must meet with him - Grace depends on it.

0:58:210:58:23

There is an informer about.

0:58:230:58:25

I came to tell you I'm leaving.

0:58:250:58:27

To be with Caroline?

0:58:270:58:28

How did you guess?

0:58:280:58:29

Where is Cap'n Poldark?

0:58:290:58:31

Why does Ross not answer my notes?

0:58:310:58:33

Better to rely on one's own resources.

0:58:330:58:36

Ambush!

0:58:390:58:41
