0:00:02 > 0:00:04We've two weeks of coal left. After that, the pumping engine stops.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- This hardship is too much. - I can bear it. But for my son...
0:00:07 > 0:00:10You'll make an offer for Geoffrey Charles' holding in Wheal Grace.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- I came to tell you I'm leaving. - To be with Caroline?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Are you sure you don't regret our leaving?
0:00:14 > 0:00:16The smugglers intend to use your cove tonight.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17For two years there's been an informer about.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- Why would you do it? - I done what I done!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21And don't be my judge!
0:00:21 > 0:00:22- Open fire!- Ambush!
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Relaunch!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Was he killed or did he do the job hisself?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31I'm told they had their eye on a bigger prize.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Where is Cap'n Poldark?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I pity anyone who must depend on such a man.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I wonder she does not remarry.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39A husband could offer her more protection.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41He could. And he will.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36MAN'S VOICE IN DISTANCE
0:01:53 > 0:01:54What did he bring?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57A proposal.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59From Trencrom.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Judas, Ross! Will you never learn? - Possibly not.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06You're about to stand trial for being part of a smuggling run.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I can't bear it all over again.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09So you can tell Trencrom,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12till he offers to stand in court in your place,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15he can sling his proposals and his guineas
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and his secret caches off Damsel Point!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31My money's on transportation.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36It's not essential. Elizabeth's already unnerved by his involvement.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Any form of discredit in court today will suffice.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Hm!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I admire your confidence.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43When one has laid the foundations,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46one has every right to expect a result.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05CROWD CHATTERS
0:03:05 > 0:03:07HANDBELL RINGS
0:03:15 > 0:03:16- MAN:- Call Ross Poldark!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Well, well...
0:03:26 > 0:03:27..here we are again.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31There are those who seem capable of learning from their mistakes.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And those who do not.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Clearly, you fall into the latter category.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Mr Poldark...
0:03:42 > 0:03:46With the deepest respect, sir, I beg to differ.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- On what grounds?- On the grounds that, on the night in question,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I was not at Nampara Cove, but at St Ives.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I can produce three witnesses to swear to the fact.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Customs Officer Vercoe
0:04:08 > 0:04:11alleges you were part of the smuggling operation,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13that you attacked him and broke his nose.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I'm very sorry to hear about Mr Vercoe's injury, sir, but...
0:04:17 > 0:04:18as my witnesses will testify,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20the assailant could not possibly have been I.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Aye, sir. It's true, sir.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Case dismissed.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- MAN:- Call Dwight Enys!
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I have perused your statement and I find it singularly unconvincing.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56No man, no educated man, can suddenly appear on a cliff edge
0:04:56 > 0:05:00and start building a bonfire without certain conclusions being drawn.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01What explanation can you offer?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It was a cold night and my coat was thin.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05CHUCKLING
0:05:05 > 0:05:07A heavy responsibility rests upon all men of reputation
0:05:07 > 0:05:09to help stamp out the illegal conduct
0:05:09 > 0:05:11of their less enlightened neighbours,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14not to encourage or participate in it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16What have you to say?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Nothing that would convince you, sir.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Fined £50 or three months' imprisonment.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Sir...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Mr Trencrom offers to pay your fine, sir.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Tell Mr Trencrom I thank him,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42but I'm perfectly capable of paying my own fine.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48You should take his bounty, Dwight. He looks after his friends.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Mr Trencrom is not my friend.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I did not go to all that trouble for his sake.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54No, for mine.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- And you know what I feel about that. - You told me many times.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- I am under an enduring debt.- No.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Enduring.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03So now it's all over, when do you leave for Bath?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I've no plans to do so.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- But your...your wedding to Caroline?- Is off.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11We were incompatible. I see that now.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It could never have lasted, and...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15it would have led to misery on both sides.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31What made you decide to accept Trencrom's offer?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36When a man's life is in tatters, he can ill afford to be stubborn!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I never thought I'd see the day.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40That I'd go to gaol?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43That you'd play the penitent to avoid it!
0:06:43 > 0:06:44I played the game!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I thought that's what you wanted.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Is there really no hope for Grace?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52On Saturday, our coal runs out.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57The engine will halt and so will the whole dismal venture.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I'm sorry for it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01I'm sorry for many things.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Our workers,
0:07:04 > 0:07:05our coffers...
0:07:08 > 0:07:09..and most of all, I'm sorry for you.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Nay, Ross.- No, for selling my shares in a profitable mine
0:07:13 > 0:07:16and sinking them into this utter folly.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17All I can say is this...
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I will never again be guilty of such recklessness.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21DOOR OPENS
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Cap'n Henshawe to see 'ee, sir.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Cap'n Ross, ma'am.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Excuse the intrusion, but...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I'd like for ye to see something.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- What's that, the last of our coal? - Hah!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Tin.- Tin?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40It's from that main shaft we're sinking below the 60 fathoms.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42They come upon it today.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Have you been down? Is there any size to it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Six foot or more across and we don't yet know how deep.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53We've spent 18 months searching for copper
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and you expect me to get excited over a parcel of tin?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Who found it? - Ted Carkeek and Paul Daniel.- Hm.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04And they think they've discovered El Dorado.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'd like for you to come and see it for yourself.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Trevithick reckons his engine should last 50 years.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21No doubt he's right.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Well, given the opportunity.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26'Tis worth a look, Cap'n. You'll not be disappointed.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Will 'ee be joining us below, ma'am? - No, I think not.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34But do take my assistant and make sure he reports back to me.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50SHE SINGS TO HERSELF
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Betty...
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Ah, it's true? A keenly lode found and the mine saved?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I wish, as much as you.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- LAUGHS:- I'll save my wishes for an easy birthing.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Now, that is wishful thinking!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Good day to you, ladies.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Don't 'ee fear, Betty. If anyone can make it right, 'tis Dr Enys.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What it is to be a miracle worker!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I agree.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33It's not unimpressive.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37You said all along you'd a feeling to go deeper.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Yes, but for copper, not for tin.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Anyway...
0:09:41 > 0:09:43..it may just be the merest pocket.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Bring up what you can. It'll make a difference to your final earnings.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52We'd have give up more easily without this find.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I know that, Paul. But it's come too late to save us.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02'Tis a queer one, though. Copper under tin, you'd expect.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04But not tin under copper.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06To my mind, what's needed is breathing space,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- to see if this'll amount to anything.- I'd agree...
0:10:09 > 0:10:11but how's that to happen?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I tell you, I don't have £20 in the world.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Betty seems fair.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I wish she were stronger.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23But then, all these people are half-starved.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- She's braver than she looks. - She wants me at the birthing.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Though, in truth, she's as well off with you and Mrs Zacky.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It'd make her easier to know she'd be tended by a man of learning.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33With little practical experience.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36That's not so! What you did for Rosina,
0:10:36 > 0:10:37was that not practical?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Was indeed!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Has your knee given you any trouble since the night of the ambush?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43No, sir. And I'm that grateful.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46What would've happened if he hadn't come to help me?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Well, you'd be wed to Charlie. - I never knowed he was the informer.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52'Tis better this way.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Is it?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01If you hadn't helped Rosina...
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'd be married, in a new town, tending new patients,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06living a new life.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Rosina's knee do have much to answer for!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11It has saved me from myself, at any rate!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25BANGING ON DOOR
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Doctor...
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Thank you.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- CAROLINE:- "Dear Dwight...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56"I am returning your letters, which I have fully digested
0:11:56 > 0:12:00"and in which I find nothing to make me regret my decision.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05"Your preference for your patients and friends is estimable.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07"Had it not been at my expense,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10"I would not now be requesting you never to write me again.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13"But it was.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14"So adieu."
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Demelza!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I've been meaning to call upon you
0:12:51 > 0:12:54to thank you for your kindness these past few months.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55In lending you my husband?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58In a manner of speaking.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Oh, you're welcome to him!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Just so long as you remember where he belong
0:13:01 > 0:13:04and send him back to me when you're done with him.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Mistress Poldark! Another escape for your husband in court.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11What a charmed life he leads.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It would appear so.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- For you, young man. - George, you must stop this.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Oh, cannot a man spoil his godson?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42This new find...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44what do it mean?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48In a word...
0:13:51 > 0:13:52..nothing.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Perhaps if we'd struck a massive bed of tin,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00requiring minimum outlay and promising quick return...
0:14:00 > 0:14:01But tin do fetch less than copper.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Considerably.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06And besides, what good would it do?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08The tin industry's much depressed.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- A pity.- Hm.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15There it is.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Did I mention that I saw Horace Treneglos at the market?
0:14:25 > 0:14:26No.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Is he well? - He sends his compliments.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33And says that it's a shame that you've sold
0:14:33 > 0:14:36all of your shares in Wheal Leisure.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I said that he must be mistaken,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40for surely, if you had...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42you'd have told me.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I've been meaning to mention this for some time.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52But not quite sure how to begin.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02As you know, Francis sank his last £600 into Wheal Grace.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Yes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07And when he died, he left Elizabeth with...considerable debts.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12To relieve her poverty, I bought all his shares in Wheal Grace,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15through a third party, knowing she'd not accept the money as a gift.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16But why should you...?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Because I felt under a burden of obligation...
0:15:20 > 0:15:22..to Francis and his family...
0:15:25 > 0:15:26..which is now discharged.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Of course, at the time, we had Trencrom's money coming in, but...
0:15:33 > 0:15:34..since the ambush...
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Are you angry?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45That you help Elizabeth.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- And Geoffrey Charles.- And leave Jeremy and me to fend for ourselves.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50You have me to fend for you. They have no-one.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Are you sure?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53From what I hear...
0:15:53 > 0:15:55George is being very obliging.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Oh...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Doubtless he would be...
0:15:59 > 0:16:00if Elizabeth would let him.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02But she will not.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08George's ambition, before Francis died,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11was to drive a wedge between our two families.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And the easiest way to do it was by befriending theirs.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18By helping Elizabeth, he is merely continuing the same tactics.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Yes, Ross.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22And although it was my aim in helping her,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25it does have the effect of strengthening her hand against him.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Yes, Ross.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Mistress Demelza!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Who be that, then, coming across the fields?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Betty Carkeek!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55'Tis her time and Dr Enys can't be found!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Ross! Fetch me the brandy wine!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Calm yourself, we'll go, we'll go.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Now, you stay here, Jeremy.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Thank you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Come here. Come here.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Up!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Hurry.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Sir! Cap'n, er...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Who is it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Er...Henshawe asking for 'ee.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Your mine...whatever.- Here.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Hey?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Won't be long.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36BETTY SCREAMS IN AGONY
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Betty, I brought you something for the pain.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Shhh...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I found him, Betty! Dr Enys be here!
0:17:45 > 0:17:46BETTY GROANS
0:17:46 > 0:17:49SHE CRIES OUT
0:17:56 > 0:17:58We've opened her up a tidy bit these past days.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01The last we brought up, 'tis as rich as I'd ever see'd.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Ross...
0:18:06 > 0:18:08More and more it go against the grain
0:18:08 > 0:18:11to let her fill up with water, knowing what's down there.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It goes against the grain at any time,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16but without coal to keep the pump working...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Well, that's what I been thinking.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I could put down £100.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It would see us through another month.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24You'd be willing to do that?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- After all our failures? - In a day or so we'll know better.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30If nothing comes of it, we can close and I'll have lost £20.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Now, with your permission, I thought to send out for more coal.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35By all means...send out.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36HENSHAWE CHUCKLES
0:18:39 > 0:18:41BETTY SCREAMS
0:18:41 > 0:18:43He'll be a boy, that's for sure!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45They's trouble even afore they born!
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Push. Push, Betty. Push.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49BETTY SCREAMS
0:18:51 > 0:18:54BABY CRIES
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Betty! You'll never guess!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06There's news of Grace!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08And a fine new Carkeek boy!
0:19:09 > 0:19:11What news of Grace?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14She's to stay open another month!
0:19:14 > 0:19:15'Tis a blessing we never looked for.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17God willing the lode should hold
0:19:17 > 0:19:19and I'll be able to feed my family!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- To young Master Carkeek!- And tin!
0:19:23 > 0:19:24And tin!
0:19:41 > 0:19:42God bless 'ee, sir.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Bless Captain Henshawe. He's our saviour.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58This is becoming an obsession.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Are you planning on joining the Army?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Why would I do that, when I have battle fronts of my own at home?
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Hm!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Which reminds me... Have those forces been deployed yet?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Mm. As per your instructions.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Don't frown, dear. A wrinkled brow is not becoming.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25I'm at my wits' end with Tabb.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27He contradicts everything I say,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29as if he thinks he is master here now.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And now these letters have come. All these questions
0:20:31 > 0:20:34which, apparently, only I can answer.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39A tithe of £1.6s on the seines of certain fishing boats in Sawle.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Should the fishermen be pressed for money?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I don't know! Should they?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Can I afford not to press them?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Whose need is greater?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Dear God, is there no end to it?!
0:20:50 > 0:20:51What is it?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Who are these people?- Tinners.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Exercising their rights, under Stannary Law, to prospect for tin.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04But this is outrageous!
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Vulgars, permitted by law,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09to violate the purlieu of a gentleman's estate!
0:21:09 > 0:21:10SHE SPLUTTERS
0:21:10 > 0:21:13How can such a thing be lawful?
0:21:13 > 0:21:14It's monstrous!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Mon... Mon... Monstrous!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18SHE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS
0:21:23 > 0:21:25No sign of it petering out?
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Far from it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30You know I'm not one to raise hopes, but it could be significant.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42The damage is considerable.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45She'll need constant care for the foreseeable future,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47possibly the rest of her life.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51But...we cannot afford a nurse.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Who is to provide...?
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Me.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I must be the one to take care of her.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Who's to take care of me? I was here first!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I must speak to Ross.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09You'll get no sympathy from that quarter!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11He was never a fan of your mother.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Is there no-one else you can turn to?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I came as soon as I could. How is she?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Very bad.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Dr Enys fears she may never recover.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18You must know how that grieves me.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I know how fond you are of her.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Do you know what I wish?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- No.- That you would allow me to make all the necessary arrangements.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Engage a separate establishment for her, here at Trenwith,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32so that no further burden need fall on you.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- I couldn't let you do that. - You're so frail, Elizabeth.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37You try to be strong, but now it is you who needs care.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Let me provide it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You're very kind, George.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42But I'm stronger than I look.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I will have to be.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45One must take what life sends.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47But not what I send?
0:23:47 > 0:23:48You've already given so much.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50For my godson, a few trifles.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52For yourself, nothing.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54At least let me help your dear mother.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56SHE SIGHS
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Your generosity makes me ashamed to refuse you anything.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03If there was one thing you did not...refuse me...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06..it would solve everything.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09What's that?
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Yourself.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Before you speak, let me add one thing.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18You must be aware how long I have loved you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Serving you only as I could, paying back Francis' card debts,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24allowing no thought of retaliation when he persistently insulted me.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Since his death, I've served you in any way you would allow
0:24:27 > 0:24:30and will continue to do so, whether or not I stand to gain by it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- And I'm more than grateful. - But now...I ask you to marry me.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35I say that I love you.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Now, I don't flatter myself that you love me.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I think you might... like and respect me.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I hope, in time, that liking might become something more.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- But...- I cannot bring you breeding.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48But I can bring a kind of gentility
0:24:48 > 0:24:52which is all the more punctilious for being only a generation deep.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- As for material considerations... - George, please!
0:24:56 > 0:24:58No, I know you would never marry for money.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00If you did, you would not be the person I know you to be.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03But at the risk of offending, let me be clear about what I can offer.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07My house is four times the size of Trenwith.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I have 20 servants. A park of 500 acres.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12My own carriage. A phaeton.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13You could have one, too.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Or three or four.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I'd take you to London or Bath.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19You'd wear the finest clothes, the rarest jewels,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22mix with the best in society.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25As my adopted son, Geoffrey Charles would be my heir.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31For so long you have lived in a cage.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Will you not allow me to give you the key?
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Oh, George...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I don't know what to say.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Say nothing, my dear.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50I don't ask for an answer now.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I only ask permission to give.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56It's just...that I feel so alone.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Loneliness is not one-sided, Elizabeth.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04A man may feel it, too.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Especially when he has loved as long and as devotedly as I have.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43And the devil taketh him up into an exceedingly high mountain
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world
0:26:46 > 0:26:51and saith, "All these things I will give thee..."
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Yes, Aunt.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55All these things and more besides.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59A fortune for my boy,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02to make up for the one his father lost.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And what is he expecting in return?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08A heart?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Is he aware that you have none to give,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15having long ago bestowed it elsewhere?
0:27:30 > 0:27:31How soon till we need timbers?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Timbers cost.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- And without them? - You know as well as I do.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Is it a risk we're willing to take?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It's a risk we've been taking for some time now.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41We've shored it up best we can.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44We'd sooner 'ee spent money on coal to keep the pump going.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47There isn't a mine in existence wouldn't take the same chance.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- It's a pretty piece!- Mm. I made it from an old one of Ross'.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I shall wear it tonight. We're expecting visitors.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Do I know 'em?
0:28:03 > 0:28:04One of them you even like!
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Hah!
0:28:34 > 0:28:36You grew up here?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41'Tis a veritable galleon compared to my father's humble sloop.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Aye, aye, Captain!
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Or should I say...Admiral?
0:28:45 > 0:28:46My father!
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Charles William Poldark.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Then he is my grandfather-by-proxy,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53since you are my commanding officer, Stepmama!
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Elizabeth, my dear! How are you? May I introduce my stepson?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Midshipman James Blamey.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01My sister-in-law Elizabeth Poldark.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Your servant, ma'am.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Close the hatch, dear.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08We don't want to be catching flies, do we?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Well, Elizabeth...
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Well, cousin. How good of you to come.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14AUNT AGATHA: Is that little Verity?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Bring her to me this minute.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Cutlass at the ready?
0:29:18 > 0:29:19THEY CHUCKLE
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Had I known of your mother's condition,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26we'd not have dreamed of intruding.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27How difficult it must be for you.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30It was, at first,
0:29:30 > 0:29:32but now she has a nurse and a maid.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Is that not expensive?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39How strange it must be for you here,
0:29:39 > 0:29:40without Francis.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43No more than for you.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46I've had to grow used to it...
0:29:46 > 0:29:48for Geoffrey Charles' sake.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49And can you?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53For my son, I must do whatever's necessary.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58And that, boy, is how you put the Navy in its place!
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Your great-aunt is a fiend at French Ruff.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Obviously, I let her win. - Obviously!
0:30:06 > 0:30:08We're expected at Nampara. You'll go with us?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Oh, I...
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Yes, Elizabeth?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I have a headache.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Did Elizabeth not wish to join you?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24She's much distressed over her mother's illness.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26She sends her apologies and her love.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Mistress Poldark's a thing of beauty, do you not think?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Were I five years older, I'd throw myself at her feet!
0:30:31 > 0:30:34She'd very likely trample you underfoot!
0:30:34 > 0:30:36On our way over, I noticed the engine chimney
0:30:36 > 0:30:37of the mine still smoking.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Oh, we continue to limp on, existing on a shoestring,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- everything against us. - Not entirely!
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Tin has been found. We're not sure how far or how deep it goes, but...
0:30:46 > 0:30:48The quality of the ore is promising, I admit it.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I'm very glad for you.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52A change in your fortune is long-deserved.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55You keep a very fine ship, Captain. Do you have your own cabin?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Naturally. Would you care to inspect it, sir?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Ha! So I should!
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Do you see much of Elizabeth?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48She don't seem inclined to visit us now.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Though she's happy enough to admit Ross.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Or was. Why do you ask?
0:31:53 > 0:31:54I don't know, there's something...
0:31:56 > 0:31:58I cannot put my finger on it.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01She seems a little on edge, as if innerly excited.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04And I got the impression...
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Yes?
0:32:06 > 0:32:10..that she thinks her circumstances are about to change.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Oh.- Do you know why that might be?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Perhaps you should ask Ross.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21That sounds a little bitter.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Do it? I only meant, he sees more of her than I.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32I know he did love her.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35So when he goes to see her, I...
0:32:35 > 0:32:39I'd not be human if I didn't wonder what they say to each other,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41or if they still have feelings.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42You think they do?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46They were each other's first love.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Such a love cannot easily be put aside.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50But you have no reason to think...
0:32:50 > 0:32:52No reason. Just...
0:32:53 > 0:32:54..Ross'd never mean to hurt me.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59But I think, if it came to a choice between me and Elizabeth...
0:32:59 > 0:33:01And with Elizabeth now free...
0:33:01 > 0:33:03You cannot believe that!
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Your ship is the Thunderer?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19The frigate Hunter now, under Admiral Gell.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22We're in Plymouth Sound at present, but under sailing orders next week.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I'm monstrous glad of it.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I'd not want the war to end before I've had the chance
0:33:26 > 0:33:27to pepper the Frenchies!
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Oh, I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunity for glory
0:33:30 > 0:33:31before the war is out.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33DOOR OPENS
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Oh, er...my apologies.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37No, no, come in. Join us.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39May I introduce Midshipman James Blamey?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- My good friend Dr Dwight Enys. - Your servant, sir.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44And yours, sir.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49If you ever tire of life ashore, consider us poor souls in the fleet.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51We're in dire need of good surgeons.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Is that so?
0:33:52 > 0:33:57Honour and glory beckon, as well as blood and gore!
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Honour and glory I can do without, but...
0:33:59 > 0:34:01a mission somewhere useful to direct my energies...
0:34:01 > 0:34:03We can surely provide that.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05And a good skirmish is a fine distraction.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07The point is, to do something.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08I agree.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Idleness allows us too much time to think.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17What a treasure is James.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20He's like the west wind - all gusty and clean and kind.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Oh, and he adores you.- And I him.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25As if he were my own son.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Oh, Verity, I'm that glad.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It'd make up for...
0:34:30 > 0:34:32For what? My not having a child of my own?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Oh, but that's the most wonderful thing.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39There is nothing to make up for.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Verity! When?!
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- About October.- Oh...!
0:34:43 > 0:34:45THEY LAUGH AND GIGGLE
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Is it Verity's news which keeps you awake?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I think so.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15I can't imagine what else it could be.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20No. I don't suppose you can.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28- VERITY'S VOICE: - And I got the impression
0:35:28 > 0:35:31that she thinks her circumstances were about to change.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Is it not dangerous, Captain,
0:35:49 > 0:35:51riding when you're not recovered?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53You leave me no choice!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I was hoping you'd visit me as I convalesce.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Or else, that I'd, er, receive an invitation to visit you.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Well, last time you came without an invitation.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Ah, that was in the course of duty.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06This is in the pursuit of pleasure.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Well, as you can see, my husband is not here.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Are you sure of that?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16On my previous visit, you told me he was from home.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Yet we both know he was somewhere about the house.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21- Do we?- Indeed.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I thought it probable, if I posted a watch long enough,
0:36:25 > 0:36:27we'd discover where he was hiding.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29And did you post such a watch?
0:36:29 > 0:36:30Oh!
0:36:30 > 0:36:31I did not.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Why?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I have too great a regard for you, ma'am.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41In truth, my heart was not in it.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43I'm a soldier, not a spy.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47I hold nothing against Captain Poldark,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49except he married so charming a wife.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54So I trust you hold nothing against me for what I did.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Indeed.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59I'm obliged to you for what you did not do.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05So now I'm forced to venture out for company and gossip.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07So what can you tell me?
0:37:07 > 0:37:09What news of your cousin-in-law, Mistress Elizabeth?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13I am sure I've heard nothing.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I'd have thought you, of all people, would know.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20And what do you hear?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Only that Sir Hugh Bodrugan,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24who shares a tailor with a certain person,
0:37:24 > 0:37:28tells me that certain person has just ordered his wedding clothes.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Judas! Who's that?
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Can you not guess?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Why, George Warleggan!
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Had you no idea?
0:37:45 > 0:37:46No.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Erm...well, that is, er...
0:37:49 > 0:37:52..yes, I did somewhat suspicion.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55No doubt you'll be able to ask him yourself at the ball.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57The ball?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Sir Hugh is to hold a ball in a week's time.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- I hope you'll favour me with the ecossaise?- Yes.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Of course.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Well...
0:38:07 > 0:38:09..thank you for calling, Captain McNeil.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11I must go and check on Jeremy.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12Pray excuse me.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17THEY LAUGH AND GIGGLE
0:38:25 > 0:38:27What ails 'ee, maid?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31George Warleggan is to marry Elizabeth.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Mr Ross'll be surprised.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Mr Ross mustn't be told.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40He'll find out soon enough, but it won't be from me.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50HAMMERS AND CHISELS CLATTER
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Fresh air and whatever fruit you can get.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Phthisis and scurvy?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18No wonder you've had your fill.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I confess, a new challenge would suit me.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24A war would certainly supply that.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Are you not tempted yourself?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32If duty calls, I won't ignore it.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36But I know enough of combat not to relish it.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Whereas I can almost hear the cannons as we speak.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- It'll be a test. - See how far we can cut it back.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57RUMBLING
0:40:00 > 0:40:02She's coming down. Run! Run!
0:40:05 > 0:40:08FAINT RUMBLING
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Run! Run!
0:40:18 > 0:40:20MEN SHOUT
0:40:24 > 0:40:26DISTANT SHOUTING
0:40:33 > 0:40:35How many?
0:40:35 > 0:40:36- How many?- There's Paul and Ted!
0:40:36 > 0:40:38There's one here!
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Paul!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Who's unaccounted for? - Dan Curnow, Ted Carkeek.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22We don't stop until they're found.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Forgive my intrusion.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40I thought to bring you the news before you heard it elsewhere.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42There's been an accident at Wheal Grace.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- Your cousin-in-law...- Is dead?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Is very much alive.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Only the poor souls who labour for him have paid the price.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52What happened?
0:41:52 > 0:41:55What inevitably happens when corners are cut
0:41:55 > 0:41:57and safety is abandoned in favour of profit.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01I can scarce believe it. Ross of all people...
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Is a desperate man.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04One can only feel for his wife and child,
0:42:04 > 0:42:08innocent casualties of his overwhelming hubris,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11now condemned to a life of penury.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Oh, but forgive me for keeping you from your dear relations.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41The devil...
0:43:14 > 0:43:16I hope you know what you're doing.
0:43:26 > 0:43:27Where's Ted?
0:43:36 > 0:43:37Dwight!
0:43:39 > 0:43:40How is he?
0:43:41 > 0:43:44He was buried too long. I can't bring him back.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51There's nothing you can do here, Ross.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53Help the others.
0:44:01 > 0:44:02One dead.
0:44:02 > 0:44:03Two.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06And five more badly injured.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11- I'm to blame.- Nay, Ross. - I should have ordered timbers.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13We're all to blame. We knew the risks.
0:44:13 > 0:44:14Grace is mine.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16I should have insisted.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Ted...
0:44:33 > 0:44:3520 fathoms of pumping gear gone.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Six weeks or more to clear the debris.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42200 won't even do it, even if we each had the capital.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Even then, I wouldn't attempt it.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48This mine has cost three lives.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51It was an ill-conceived venture from the start.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53It will never open again.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52"My dear Ross, I do not know how to write this letter
0:45:52 > 0:45:55"or to tell you what I have to say..."
0:46:00 > 0:46:01HE GRUNTS
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Are you ahead?
0:46:07 > 0:46:09I've already won.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14I've secured the hand of the woman I love.
0:46:14 > 0:46:15Elizabeth Poldark.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18And in so doing, will deal the deadliest blow
0:46:18 > 0:46:20to my bitterest enemy.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23I see I must congratulate you.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Oh, I congratulate myself.
0:46:27 > 0:46:31It's not given to many to achieve so much...
0:46:31 > 0:46:32at a single stroke.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Sometimes, I don't know my own strength.
0:47:08 > 0:47:09What is it?
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Sir Hugh Bodrugan...
0:47:14 > 0:47:15inviting us to a ball.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Oh!
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Obviously, we'll decline.
0:47:20 > 0:47:21Of course.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24Letter come from Trenwith.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Thank you, Prudie.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- ELIZABETH:- "I know what I have to say will distress you
0:48:07 > 0:48:11"and I, who gave you so much pain once before,
0:48:11 > 0:48:15"would do almost anything than to hurt you again and in the same way.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18"Yet, it seems I must.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22"Oh, Ross, my life has been very frustrating
0:48:22 > 0:48:25"and since Francis died, a lonely and an empty one.
0:48:27 > 0:48:31"Perhaps I am the wrong sort of person to be left alone.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34"I seem to need the strength and protection only a man can give.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39"I have agreed to marry George Warleggan."
0:48:55 > 0:48:57- I'm going to Trenwith. - No, Ross, not tonight.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59- I must speak with Elizabeth. - Ross, you can't!
0:49:01 > 0:49:02Do you know what this is?
0:49:04 > 0:49:05Is it about George?
0:49:07 > 0:49:09You knew...!
0:49:09 > 0:49:10I heard rumours.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13- And you didn't think to tell me? - What, and have my head snapped off?
0:49:13 > 0:49:16This...thing must be stopped.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18How will you stop it? You can't stop it.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20- Perhaps you don't want me to stop it.- Perhaps I don't!
0:49:20 > 0:49:22And especially not like this.
0:49:23 > 0:49:24Like what?
0:49:24 > 0:49:26Whatever it is you intend.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28How do you know what I intend?
0:49:28 > 0:49:30How do I know anything, Ross? How do I know you?
0:49:31 > 0:49:33And yet, I think I do.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Please, get out of my way.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37Ross...
0:49:37 > 0:49:39don't go there tonight. Wait until tomorrow.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Please...
0:49:41 > 0:49:43get out...of my way.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23HE BANGS ON THE DOOR
0:50:23 > 0:50:24Elizabeth!
0:50:34 > 0:50:36DOOR CRASHES
0:50:36 > 0:50:38CRASHING ECHOES
0:50:48 > 0:50:49Elizabeth!
0:51:10 > 0:51:11Ross...!
0:51:12 > 0:51:14I came to pay my respects
0:51:14 > 0:51:16and to thank you for your letter.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17- Perhaps tomorrow morn...- No.
0:51:19 > 0:51:20Not tomorrow. Now.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Downstairs, then.
0:51:25 > 0:51:26I'll get a candle.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37- Ross, I don't think... - I should be in here?
0:51:39 > 0:51:41There is no-one to consider but you and I.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Ross, I so hated having to send you that letter but, really...
0:51:47 > 0:51:50- I've said all there is to be said. - I disagree.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52Perhaps you could clarify something for me...
0:51:54 > 0:51:55- George Warleggan...- Yes?
0:51:55 > 0:51:59..a man I consider my greatest enemy.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02And you...
0:52:02 > 0:52:05I've long considered my greatest friend.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08In which particular am I most adrift?
0:52:08 > 0:52:11It's not as simple as that, Ross.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Of course I'm proud and happy
0:52:13 > 0:52:15to think of you as my greatest friend.
0:52:15 > 0:52:16Well...
0:52:16 > 0:52:18it was more than that, as I recall.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Did you not tell me, barely 12 months ago...
0:52:22 > 0:52:25..that you had made a mistake in marrying Francis?
0:52:25 > 0:52:29That you realised quite soon that it was I you had always loved?
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Do you think I would ever have said those words
0:52:31 > 0:52:33had I known what would happen to Francis?
0:52:33 > 0:52:34And yet, they cannot be unsaid.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38I felt you needed to know
0:52:38 > 0:52:41that, if you were unhappy in those early days, then so was I.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43That the mistake was not yours, but mine.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45That "mistake", as you call it...
0:52:46 > 0:52:49..has cost many people dear.
0:52:49 > 0:52:50Francis...
0:52:50 > 0:52:52yourself...
0:52:52 > 0:52:53myself.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55What mistake are you making now?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58I don't expect you to understand.
0:52:58 > 0:52:59Try me.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05George has been so good to me since Francis died, so kind.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Do you marry a man out of gratitude?
0:53:07 > 0:53:10No! Not just that.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12You're wrong to think of him as your greatest enemy.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14The man who tried to get me hanged?
0:53:14 > 0:53:16I don't believe that's what he intended.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19And now, I think I can help mend the breach between you.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Are you marrying him for his money?
0:53:22 > 0:53:24How dare you?!
0:53:24 > 0:53:26God knows I've made mistakes in my life, Ross...
0:53:27 > 0:53:30..but I've tried to be loyal to the people I care for.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33And what seems like disloyalty to you now
0:53:33 > 0:53:35is actually loyalty to my son!
0:53:35 > 0:53:37What do you suggest for me?
0:53:37 > 0:53:4030 years of widowhood and loneliness?
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Can you offer me anything else?
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Do you?
0:53:48 > 0:53:49Do you love George?
0:53:51 > 0:53:53- Yes.- Why do I not believe you?
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Why does this remind me of when you said you loved Francis?
0:53:56 > 0:54:00You ask me, would I condemn you to 30 years of widowhood?
0:54:00 > 0:54:02Why would I need to?
0:54:02 > 0:54:04You could have your pick of 30 men!
0:54:04 > 0:54:07But I won't see you condemned to George!
0:54:07 > 0:54:08Please, leave now, Ross!
0:54:08 > 0:54:11I'm my own mistress and I will not be instructed.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13I'm sorry you feel like this, but I cannot help it.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Oh, you've never been able to help anything, have you?
0:54:16 > 0:54:18It's all beyond your control.
0:54:18 > 0:54:22Full of good intentions, leaving a trail of havoc in your wake!
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Or perhaps you can't help this, either.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34I oppose this marriage, Elizabeth.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37I'd be glad of your assurance you will not go through with it.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39We both know you don't love him.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42I love him to distraction and will marry him next month!
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Ross!
0:54:48 > 0:54:50You're hateful, horrible! I detest you!
0:54:50 > 0:54:53No, you don't. You never have and you never will.
0:54:54 > 0:54:56You would not dare. You would not dare!
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Oh, I would, Elizabeth. I would.
0:55:00 > 0:55:01And so would you.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26BABY CRIES
0:55:39 > 0:55:41- It ain't right.- It ain't fair.
0:55:41 > 0:55:42- It ain't fit.- It isn't.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41I must go before the household wakes.
0:56:42 > 0:56:43What shall we...?
0:56:43 > 0:56:45I must think.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50- When will you...?- Soon.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23APPROACHING CLATTER OF HOOVES
0:57:48 > 0:57:49What can I say?
0:57:50 > 0:57:52It was something...
0:57:52 > 0:57:54I cannot explain.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02You must see I had no choice.
0:58:06 > 0:58:07Nor I.
