0:00:02 > 0:00:04- How soon till we need timbers? - Timbers cost.- And without them?
0:00:04 > 0:00:08- She's coming down! Run! Run! - This mine has cost three lives.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10It was an ill-conceived venture from the start.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Your wedding to Caroline?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Is off. Would've led to misery on both sides.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- What is it?- Sir Hugh Bodrugan, inviting us to a ball.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Should you decide to brave his company again,
0:00:20 > 0:00:22I will personally undertake to protect you.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Loneliness is not one-sided.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26I have agreed to marry George Warleggan.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29I hope you know what you're doing.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31This thing must be stopped.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33You can't stop it, and especially not like this!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35How do you know what I intend?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37All of us know you don't love him!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41I love him to distraction and will marry him next month!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- What should we...- I must think.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34# How the tide rushes in
0:01:34 > 0:01:39# And covers footprints in the sand
0:01:39 > 0:01:43# As my hopes erased
0:01:43 > 0:01:48# And carried out of my hands
0:01:48 > 0:01:56# Yet though the ocean with waves unending
0:01:58 > 0:02:03# Covers the Earth
0:02:03 > 0:02:09# Yet is there loss after all? #
0:02:09 > 0:02:10DOOR OPENS
0:02:10 > 0:02:12We've had visitors, Cap'n.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16From Wheal Radiant. Do we wish to sell our head gear?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19They didn't waste much time.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22How much have they offered?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25A fair price. They're decent men.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30They know it could happen to the best of us.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34The best of us would've bought timbers.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36The men knew the risks.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Did their wives?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Their children?
0:02:46 > 0:02:47'Tis the business, Ross.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51No longer, it seems.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Was that from the mine?- What?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Your eye.- Oh, no.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07My wife took exception to something I said.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18# For what e'er drifts from one place
0:03:18 > 0:03:23# Is with the tide to another brought
0:03:23 > 0:03:30# And there's naught lost beyond recall
0:03:32 > 0:03:41# Which cannot be found if sought. #
0:03:41 > 0:03:43KNOCKING, DOOR OPENS
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- Ye be coming down to breakfast? - Thank you, Prudie.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Master Jeremy and I will be taking our breakfast here from now on.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- No, but the chores is piling up downstairs!- You're mistook, Prudie.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00This is a more genteel way of doing, I think.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03And Master Jeremy and I are gentle folks, after all.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08JEREMY GURGLES AND LAUGHS
0:04:22 > 0:04:24This is well met!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I was just debating whether to write and offer my commiserations.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29On what?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Your recent loss.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Or should I say losses?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38And, well, perhaps you've not heard, Elizabeth and I are engaged.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So in the grand scheme of things, you appear to be in disarray.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46And I appear to have won.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52As you say, George... you appear to have won.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40When do you expect him?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Who?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46My nephew is not always the most subtle of men,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49nor the most discreet.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I'm not sure I know what you mean.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Oh, don't be coy, Elizabeth! There's no-one here but ourselves.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02You will note that I have never married.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Perhaps you think that was an accident!- Well, I...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Perhaps I think so, too, sometimes,
0:06:09 > 0:06:14then I remind myself I've yet to meet the man who could better me.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21It is the better man we long for, is it not?
0:06:22 > 0:06:28Sometimes it's not the most convenient man...
0:06:28 > 0:06:33but come, let us not pretend we prefer Warleggan
0:06:33 > 0:06:35under this roof to a Poldark!
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Of course, I'm sorry for his kitchen maid. We have much to thank her for.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47But one must acknowledge the prior acclaim.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52So, we can assume he will return to this house
0:06:52 > 0:06:55as soon as he's put his own in order.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Churn, I? I ain't churned since...
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Since the maid first come
0:07:15 > 0:07:18and showed you what a dog's gizzards he ever made of it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Smirk all you like.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22She'll give you no aid now with the calves or seeding.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23'Tisn't right.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Where's your mistress?- Her bed.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Is she unwell?- Must be.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37What's this?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- What's it look like?- I can't decide.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Hence the enquiry.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's been so long since the mistress let me bake,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- I've mislaid all my skillage. - It would appear so.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Perhaps you could mislay this and bring me something edible.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Oh, you're still here. Is Trenwith not yet in readiness?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Would you like for me to help you pack?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I thought you should know that we're selling the head gear of Grace.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24The venturers at Wheal Radiant have offered a fair price.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Do you suppose that she ever seriously meant to marry George?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Surely it was just a trick to get you to declare your hand?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I've no idea what she intended.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Still, it worked, did it not?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- She got what she wanted.- Demelza, I never claimed to be perfect.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Have I ever asked for that?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Not as I recall, but perhaps my memory serves me ill,
0:08:48 > 0:08:53for I seem to remember we promised to forsake all others?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I realise...that I betrayed your trust...
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Forfeit.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02..and that your pride is wounded.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Pride?
0:09:04 > 0:09:05My pride?
0:09:11 > 0:09:16To think, I did always look up to you...respect you,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20revere you as my master long before you were my husband...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I see that, but...
0:09:22 > 0:09:28..for it had seemed to me, unschooled as I was,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31that you were not like other men.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36You had a kind of nobility -
0:09:36 > 0:09:37not of birth, but of character,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41and I was so proud to think that such a man had married me.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50So now to discover that you are so much less than other men...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54..are fallen so low because so far.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00'Tis not my pride that is wounded, Ross.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04'Tis my pride in you.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27DOOR CLOSES
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Sir John Trevaunance, Unwin Trevaunance. Lady Whitworth...
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Her son Osbert?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04The Honourable Maria Agar. Sir Hugh Bodrugan...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06His brother Robert...
0:11:06 > 0:11:08William Hick. Mr and Mrs Alfred Barbary.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Ray Penvenen and his niece, Caroline...
0:11:12 > 0:11:15George Warleggan to marry Elizabeth Poldark?!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I could have sworn her interest lay elsewhere.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22But plainly a lady may not always have what her heart desires!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Jeremy...
0:12:24 > 0:12:25HE GRUNTS
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Demelza...
0:12:29 > 0:12:32We cannot continue like this.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35If you could at least see this from my perspective...
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Soon you'll be asking me to see it from Elizabeth's!
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Hardly.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Of course it's no mystery.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44She can't wait to have you installed in her house, or in her bed.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Demelza.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Indeed, I do suspicion that's exactly what her letter says!
0:12:51 > 0:12:52What letter?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Came about an hour since.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58She's doubtless wondering what's keeping you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Truly, we wonder ourselves, don't we, Jeremy?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06May I see it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08It's in the library.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11On your pillow.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56CRYING
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I may be out late tomorrow night.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm going to Truro and I'm unsure as to when I will be back.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Why don't you just say it, Ross? "I'm going to Elizabeth."
0:14:16 > 0:14:18The letter was not from her.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Of course not.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Here... Read it if you wish.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Richard Tonkin has been released from debtor's prison
0:14:26 > 0:14:28and wishes to see me.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30No doubt to ask if I can assist him
0:14:30 > 0:14:33the way I did Harry Blewitt when Carnmore collapsed,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36but as you know, I've no money to spare.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It's a pity. You'll miss the Bodrugan party.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44That's the least of my regrets.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Demelza...
0:14:51 > 0:14:55..I would never deliberately hurt you.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58You of all people must know that.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Must I, Ross? So I'm to assume you inflict pain by accident
0:15:01 > 0:15:03without a second thought?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06In the moment, I admit it, there was no thought of you,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08or of the pain I might have caused...
0:15:08 > 0:15:10It was as if I was possessed.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Of course. No fault of yours!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Just a greater power and you and her helpless to resist.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16In a way, yes!
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Perhaps I might have hoped for some understanding, knowing you as I do.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Knowing me to be kind and simple and giving?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Would you like me to throw myself off Hendrawna cliffs
0:15:29 > 0:15:32so that you might bury me at your own convenience and wed again at your leisure?!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I don't blame you for your anger, but how does it serve us now?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Serve us?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40How did you serve us?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43How does this serve us?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Judas, what 'appened? The pots is all scat to jowds!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Clear this away.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Lavish, of course! No expense spared.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08After all, how often does a man get married?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12From the lady herself?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16No doubt anxious about some detail of trimming or confectionery.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Will you excuse me?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28"My dear George, I am writing to request the smallest of favours -
0:16:28 > 0:16:30"a postponement of our wedding."
0:17:04 > 0:17:08My dear, I cannot make head nor tail of your letter.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09What can you mean by it?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13George, I beg you, try to understand my position.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15These past few days, it has dawned on me
0:17:15 > 0:17:18how rash I've been, plunging into this marriage.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Such haste - it does not look seemly.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And you tell me this a week before the wedding,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25when all the guests are invited?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29But did we not agree that this would be an entirely private wedding?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33A few of my closest friends would be hurt to be excluded.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36George, I have promised to marry you, and look forward
0:17:36 > 0:17:39to beginning our life together at Cardew,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42but I feel it would not be fair to either of us to marry in haste.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Is this anything to do with Ross?
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Why would you think so?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Is it?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56No! That is... Obviously he does not favour the arrangement.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Has he been here?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59He called...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01And he is behind this change of heart! I knew it!
0:18:01 > 0:18:02No!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04It is my own delicacy.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Seeing him reminded me how soon it is since Francis died.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I beg you not to be angry with me.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20I want to be indulgent, both before and after our wedding.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24It's a bitter disappointment to me, but I will try to agree
0:18:24 > 0:18:27to your wishes if you will promise me one thing.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Yes?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31That you name another date, today.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Oh!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35No, I cannot...
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Come, my dear, let us compromise so that both of us may get
0:18:39 > 0:18:41something from the arrangement.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Grant me the consolation of being able to fix a date -
0:18:45 > 0:18:47a month from today.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49So soon?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But what is there to wait for?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53What do you imagine will happen in the meantime?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I do not know.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Can I rely on you, Elizabeth?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Very well.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19A month from today.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- 'You would not dare!- I would, Elizabeth...and so would you.'
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Give my best to Elizabeth.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Was I not clear? I'm not going to Trenwith.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20No, Ross. To Truro.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22That's right. I remember.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Servant come from Werry House.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Sir Hugh beg to know if you will attend the party?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Oh, Judas! I forgot to reply to his invitation! Um...
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Tell the servant we sincerely regret that Captain Poldark has been called away.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Although...
0:20:42 > 0:20:45..Mistress Demelza would be delighted to attend.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58HORSEHOOVES CLATTER
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Finally!
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Compose yourself, Elizabeth.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07What shall I say? How should I proceed?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09With resolve, girl.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13'Tis no easy thing you contemplate.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16'Tis for you to dictate the terms.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You have more to lose.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20FOOTSTEPS
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Oh, my dear, I had to come.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30When I heard you'd postponed the wedding,
0:21:30 > 0:21:31I knew at once what was behind it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Oh, my goodness!
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Elizabeth!
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Elizabeth!
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Whatever's the matter?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Ross, I don't recall seeing that black eye.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Was it got in the rock fall?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Must have been. Where are you headed?
0:21:54 > 0:21:59I've been summoned to Trenwith, I imagine to treat Mrs Chynoweth.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01How's Demelza bearing up?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04After the disaster?
0:22:04 > 0:22:05She was a godsend that day.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I know I'm preaching to the converted,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10but you've married a remarkable woman.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Indeed.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15And where are you bound?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Truro. To meet Richard Tonkin.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20I fear he wants to tap me for a loan.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Shall we meet later? Take supper?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Or would you prefer to dine with Demelza?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Let's sup together.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I know what 'ee be thinking.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48What's good for the gander...?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I don't blame 'ee, maid. But no good'll come of it.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04There's no cause for alarm.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Mrs Poldark has a fragile disposition,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09and doubtless she's been under some strain of late.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Did she tell you she's postponed her wedding to George Warleggan?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Indefinitely?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15For a month.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Give her these powders. I'll call again tomorrow.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Thank you.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Ah! Captain!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57It's good to see you at liberty, sir.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'll not forget your kindness.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02When hard times come, many friends fall away. You did not.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04But your own affairs...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Do not prosper.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08So I hear.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10You'll be wondering why I asked to see you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Ah!
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Mistress Demelza, you've ventured to trust yourself to my care
0:24:27 > 0:24:29and left your husband by the fireside.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Indeed I did, sir. I decided 'twas not the weather for firesides.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Or husbands!
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Now, where have they put you for the night? Ah, yes...
0:24:39 > 0:24:40The Red Room.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Two years ago, you advanced Harry Blewitt the sum of £250.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48And believe me, I regret I was unable to do the same for you.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50It saved him from debtors' prison.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52He was able to rearrange his finances
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and start a small boat-building venture.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57He's had his fill of mining? I don't blame him!
0:24:57 > 0:25:01When I left prison, he invited me to become his partner in the business.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Our venture at present is small, but we have high hopes...
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Of course, if we have more capital, progress...
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Forgive me, sir, I must stop you there.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12If you're looking for investment, you've come to the wrong man.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Investment?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Dear me, no, sir.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20That isn't it at all.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42DISTANT CONVERSATION
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You've tripled your income in six months?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25It was a moderate investment when we set out, but with the war,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27demand has gone sky high, and now...
0:26:27 > 0:26:30You've the makings of a first-rate business.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33And you too, sir, if you choose.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41JOLLY MUSIC PLAYS
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Mistress Demelza!
0:27:06 > 0:27:09What a sight for sore eyes!
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Perhaps you'll introduce me to your friends?
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Oh, by all means!
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Surely you jest?
0:27:18 > 0:27:19On the contrary.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23She was a scullery maid!
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Then you should find her all the more eager to serve!
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Oh, come, man, I'm in sore need of entertainment!
0:27:29 > 0:27:32So you wish me to heap further ignominy on Poldark...
0:27:32 > 0:27:36By debauching his wife! Precisely! Come, I'll introduce you.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Mistress Demelza.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Is Ross not here?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50He's been called away on business. Where is Elizabeth?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52She has family matters to attend to.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Hm, I can imagine.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00May I introduce Mr Tankard?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Your servant, ma'am.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05He's a little shy and barely knows a soul.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Perhaps you'll take pity on him.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Oh, perhaps I will! Do you dance, sir?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I could be persuaded.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Mistress Demelza, do you know our friend Margaret Vosper?
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Mistress Ross Poldark.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Ma'am.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I believe that you two ladies have something in common.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I believe we do!
0:28:22 > 0:28:23And what would that be?
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Both devilish pretty women who've only got to crook their finger
0:28:27 > 0:28:29and the men come running!
0:28:29 > 0:28:33I had no idea there were so many handsome men in Cornwall, Sir Hugh.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36'Tis fortunate for you that you need not fear the competition.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40I've buried several husbands and serviced countless more,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42and I never see the point in beating about the bush.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46If you've a fancy for someone, go up and ask them!
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Myself, I prefer to take time making up my mind.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Even if it do seem like beating about the bush.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56I'd sooner do that than get scratched or worn on every bush I see!
0:28:56 > 0:28:58And does your husband share your delicacy?
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Shall we dance, sir?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Mistress Poldark!
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Ah, Captain McNeil.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16What a happy coincidence. May I escort you to supper?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Now you mention it, I do have something of an appetite!
0:29:19 > 0:29:21And I'm a great believer in indulging such a thing!
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Pray excuse me, sir. You may reclaim me presently.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41My dear, I would speak with you?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Oh, I...I do not feel strong enough to...
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Elizabeth, don't be afraid. I understand your feelings.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49They're quite natural.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52After all that has happened...
0:29:52 > 0:29:53What can you mean?
0:29:53 > 0:29:57I sympathise more than you think.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59You wonder how you can give your hand to George
0:29:59 > 0:30:02when your heart is committed elsewhere.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Yes,
0:30:06 > 0:30:10but...more than that...
0:30:10 > 0:30:13There can be no more than that, my dear.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16You must let him go. He would want you to.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17I do not think so.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19But I know that he would.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23And who can say better than I? As his sister,
0:30:23 > 0:30:27he is dearer to me than almost anyone.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I know he and George were enemies at the end,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33but Francis would want you to be happy.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38And if George is your choice, I believe you would have his blessing.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41And yours?
0:30:41 > 0:30:43And mine.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15My dear life, I'm so hot I could faint!
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Then 'tis fortunate you have someone to catch you!
0:31:20 > 0:31:24And now I have some sad news.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Tomorrow I leave to rejoin my regiment.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Oh, I think I shall weep!
0:31:28 > 0:31:31So I wonder, as a special favour tonight,
0:31:31 > 0:31:35would you consider calling me Malcolm?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41And in return, you'll be wishing to call me Demelza?
0:31:41 > 0:31:45'Tis a very pretty name. What does it mean?
0:31:45 > 0:31:49My mother once told me that in the old Cornish tongue
0:31:49 > 0:31:51it means "thy sweetness."
0:31:51 > 0:31:55I would rather it meant "my sweetness."
0:32:00 > 0:32:03It's very close in here.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Shall we take a breath of air in the garden?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Well? Did they fleece you like a footpad?
0:32:24 > 0:32:28No. They showered me with blessings!
0:32:28 > 0:32:33The debt repaid in full or a share in a profitable business.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35That's excellent! What will you do?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Truth be told, I'm half-tempted to follow your lead and enlist!
0:32:40 > 0:32:43What, now? When things are looking up?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Surely you've too much to keep you here?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Yes. You would think so.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52But?
0:32:54 > 0:32:56When are our choices ever straightforward?
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Are you cold?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11May I fetch your wrap?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I have none.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I'm glad of it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17For I know a better way to warm you.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24You're most attentive, Malcolm.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Surely you cannot be short of attention?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Everywhere I look, men are snarling over you.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33But I fancy they do not suit you as well as...
0:33:35 > 0:33:37As well as...?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Ever since I met you, I've wanted to do that.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59I hope you were not disappointed.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03On the contrary, you've given me an appetite for more.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08We should return to the party.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Can you not give me a word of encouragement before we go?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Surely you've had enough already.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22But will you not give me something to hope for?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Later tonight?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Which is your room?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I'm not well-acquainted with this house, but...
0:34:43 > 0:34:46..I think Sir Hugh called it the Red Room...?
0:34:50 > 0:34:51I know it.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Thank you, my sweetness.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Thank you.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16You seem distracted.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Do I?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Despite your good fortune.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Is all well at home?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Yes...and no.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Demelza and I...
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Let us just say that attachments are complicated, as you well know.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Your cousin-in-law may agree!
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Elizabeth?
0:35:42 > 0:35:45It was she I was called to attend at Trenwith.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49A fainting fit. She's postponed her wedding.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51She has?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Are you certain?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Clearly, the thought of marrying George Warleggan
0:35:56 > 0:35:58was more than she could stand!
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Did anyone see you?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57I hope I know how to conduct an ambush, my darling!
0:37:05 > 0:37:07So...you leave tomorrow?
0:37:07 > 0:37:08At noon.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12And I shall not see you again.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15You shall if you wish.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17You may write to me at Winchester.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Malcolm.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28My angel?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Are you kind?
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Immensely.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Then I beg you to bear with me,
0:37:33 > 0:37:38to understand why I led you to believe...that...
0:37:40 > 0:37:42'Tis on account of my husband.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Don't think of him.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46He's betrayed me with another.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Is he insane?- And because of that, I thought that I should do the same.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Most assuredly.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Please. Please, just hear me out.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Have I told you how beautiful you are?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I begin to realise something about myself.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Call it weakness if you will, but I cannot give myself...
0:38:02 > 0:38:07- You can.- ..to any man except my husband. I am bound to him.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09I wish it were not the case, but...
0:38:09 > 0:38:13My angel, it does you credit to be so delicate...
0:38:16 > 0:38:18..but think for a moment of me,
0:38:18 > 0:38:22who's been looking forward to this encounter
0:38:22 > 0:38:25as to a mortal's taste of heaven.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30Your duty now is not to your husband, but to me.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Malcolm, please.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Malcolm, stop!
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Stop! Malcolm!
0:38:45 > 0:38:46STOP!
0:38:56 > 0:38:59I like a woman who knows her own mind.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01I thought you were such a one.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05My mistake.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Ross, I hate you!
0:39:26 > 0:39:28I hate you!
0:39:38 > 0:39:40DOOR OPENS
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Ross! What brings 'ee here?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47A disinclination to go home early!
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Well, join us, then, as we drown our sorrows!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Eke out the last of our earnings!
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Don't remind me.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Nay, Ross, don't take it hard.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00All of us were willing to work without timbers.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04And if it were to do again, we'd none of us think twice.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06You cannot mean that.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07After we lost Ted?
0:40:09 > 0:40:14Risky work's better than none. Grace put food on our table.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17And more than that, she give us hope.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20I tell 'ee, were it not that the lode's buried
0:40:20 > 0:40:23'neath 30 fathom of rock, we'd be back down there like a shot.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25You would?
0:40:25 > 0:40:26With Ted's blessing!
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Damn, blast and set fire to it!
0:40:44 > 0:40:46What the blazes!
0:40:46 > 0:40:50I believe you're lost, sir. Your room is on the east side.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Thank you, sir. I know very well where my room is, and to whom this one belongs.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55MUMBLES
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Dammit, sir, she as good as invited me.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Now why don't you scuttle off and turn a blind eye?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Blind eye? I was going in there myself!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Don't tell me she invited you?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Blast it, sir, you've had no invitation!
0:41:06 > 0:41:07You thought to try your luck!
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Blast yourself, sir! I was here first!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I'm the host! It's only right that I have first pick!
0:41:12 > 0:41:14A host should yield to a guest, as you well know!
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- 'Tis the proper etiquette. - Etiquette be damned!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19If you go into that room, I go with you!
0:41:20 > 0:41:23I don't fancy we'll win her that way!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Suppose we toss a coin?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Well, one shall say I'm not a sportsman.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Call.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32Heads.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Tails!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Stand aside, sir.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41What the devil...?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Well, I've never known a woman
0:41:53 > 0:41:56promise so much and deliver so little!
0:43:25 > 0:43:26Where's Demelza?
0:43:26 > 0:43:27Out.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- Since when? - Since she went t' Bodrugan's party.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34Did she say she would stay the night?
0:43:34 > 0:43:35Did she?
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Don't recall.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39So you've no idea where she is.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42Reckon she's as much right as any to stay out all night.
0:43:42 > 0:43:43Reckon she do.
0:44:52 > 0:44:53Demelza!
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Ross! Kind of you to come and meet me!
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Did you have a pleasant time at Trenwith?
0:45:01 > 0:45:04I told you, I went to Truro to meet Richard Tonkin.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Whatever you say, Ross.
0:45:06 > 0:45:07Do what you will.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Go and live with her if you wish.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15It's quite possible that her marriage will still go ahead.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18No doubt you did your best to prevent it.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21No doubt I did.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23So does she love George, then?
0:45:23 > 0:45:25No, she does not.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29Demelza, I cannot blame you for your anger.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33But if you could bide awhile, have a little patience...
0:45:33 > 0:45:36- Patience?- This thing will play itself out, sooner or later.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39I see. So you just expect me to sit and twiddle my thumbs
0:45:39 > 0:45:42until you decide whether or not you want me?
0:45:42 > 0:45:43It's not a question of wanting you!
0:45:43 > 0:45:45It's a question of not wanting her.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Do you not want her?
0:45:48 > 0:45:49No!
0:45:52 > 0:45:53I don't know.
0:45:55 > 0:45:56Sometimes...
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I'm not content to be second best.
0:45:58 > 0:45:59Have I asked you to be?
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Have you not made me so?
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Why am I here, Demelza?
0:46:04 > 0:46:07Why d'you suppose I'm still here?
0:46:07 > 0:46:10I don't know why you're still here, Ross.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Because Elizabeth can't make up her mind?
0:46:12 > 0:46:13No!
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Because Elizabeth does not want you?
0:46:17 > 0:46:20Because she knows George is the better bet?
0:46:25 > 0:46:26I came here with good news!
0:46:27 > 0:46:31I came here to tell you that Blewitt can repay the money I lent him.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33We can reopen Grace!
0:46:37 > 0:46:39Demelza!
0:46:57 > 0:46:59You must take the decision alone.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Aunt?
0:47:01 > 0:47:04You cannot wait for him to help you.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08I don't understand.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10How can he treat me so?
0:47:10 > 0:47:13How can he leave things so...up in the air?
0:47:13 > 0:47:14And not for the first time.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Exactly!
0:47:16 > 0:47:20Once before I waited for him to come and see me and when he did not...
0:47:20 > 0:47:22You married Francis.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24And now?
0:47:24 > 0:47:26I do not know!
0:47:26 > 0:47:29He's deserted me.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33He tried to stop this marriage, but offered nothing in return.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37He has taken what was not rightly his
0:47:37 > 0:47:40and walked away from the consequences.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43Why did he have to come?
0:47:43 > 0:47:45I hate him for it!
0:47:46 > 0:47:49He's left me with only one possible choice!
0:47:52 > 0:47:55BELLS PEAL
0:48:23 > 0:48:25DOOR OPENS
0:48:26 > 0:48:29I reckon it'll take two weeks to clear the rubble.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Then we'll have her back up and running again.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34What are we waiting for?
0:48:38 > 0:48:41I see Ross be not at his cousin's wedding.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Such a pity that relations with George
0:48:53 > 0:48:55are so strained that Ross could not attend the wedding.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57If you say so.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Come and sit with me, child.
0:49:06 > 0:49:10So now you are all that remains of the Trenwith Poldarks.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13No doubt Warleggan would dispense with us if he could.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Oh, you'll hardly see him, Aunt.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19Once they're living at Cardew, why would he even visit?
0:49:19 > 0:49:21Elizabeth may come to see her mother,
0:49:21 > 0:49:25but to all intents and purposes, you are mistress now.
0:49:26 > 0:49:27You'll visit me often?
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Like old times.
0:49:31 > 0:49:35If we close our eyes, it will seem like 20 years ago.
0:49:35 > 0:49:39Francis and Father still alive and Ross riding over every day!
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Ross.
0:49:42 > 0:49:43Yes.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46How different might it all have been.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54He must wonder why I sleep here now.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Perhaps you should tell him.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00That you don't wish to have me near you?
0:51:00 > 0:51:01Or that you now find me distasteful
0:51:01 > 0:51:04after the delicate charms of Elizabeth.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28You'd never think you almost lost your lives down there.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30Well, we've all got to go some time!
0:51:32 > 0:51:35I wish Ted could've lived to see the day.
0:51:35 > 0:51:36You did all you could.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38It wasn't enough.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42I wonder if the Navy's so desperate as to need a second-rate surgeon.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45The Navy will need all the men it can get if the war continues.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48An auspicious day! Mistress Poldark should be here.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51She've always took an interest in our ventures before.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Demelza has business elsewhere.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21You were born for this life, my dear.
0:52:21 > 0:52:22I like to think so.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26London is full of beauties, but you will outshine them all.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Such a privilege to have Lord and Lady Warleggan to tea!
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Oh, have I ennobled you prematurely?
0:52:43 > 0:52:46I'm sure the honour will soon be forthcoming!
0:52:46 > 0:52:49And how is Cornwall? Do you see much of Dr Enys?
0:52:51 > 0:52:53He attends my mother.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56So he's finally moving in more exalted circles!
0:52:56 > 0:52:57I fear not, ma'am.
0:52:57 > 0:53:01I think my mother is his only fee-paying patient.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03But how secretive you've been!
0:53:03 > 0:53:06You announced your wedding so late, my uncle and I could not attend.
0:53:06 > 0:53:12Um... My wife kept me waiting a while until she gave her answer.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15Quite right. Marriage lasts a lifetime.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18A lady must be sure she's making the right choice!
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Hm.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28Ross! Ross!
0:53:29 > 0:53:32Captain Henshawe be calling for you.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Can it wait?
0:53:34 > 0:53:36There's something he needs you to see.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04I've been thinking about our domestic arrangements.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07You'll be glad to return home to Cardew.
0:54:07 > 0:54:08I had thought so,
0:54:08 > 0:54:13but now I believe I've a fancy to live somewhere else.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21- I can scarce believe it.- Nor I.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25When first I saw it, I thought my eyes deceived me.
0:54:25 > 0:54:26What does it mean?
0:54:26 > 0:54:30It means I'm breaking the habit of a lifetime and taking a drink!
0:54:56 > 0:54:58I've something to tell you.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01We reached the tin lode that was buried.
0:55:03 > 0:55:07We've been working it for some days now, and today, the lode split.
0:55:07 > 0:55:11One half is twice the size of the old lode.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14Henshawe says he's never seen richer ground.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21Demelza,
0:55:21 > 0:55:24do you understand what this means?
0:55:25 > 0:55:28I'll be able to pay back the interest on our loan.
0:55:30 > 0:55:36More than that, soon we'll be in a position to repay in full!
0:55:36 > 0:55:39I'm very glad for you, Ross.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41And for us?
0:55:41 > 0:55:45Do you not see how this changes things?
0:55:45 > 0:55:50It will mean not just survival, not even a good living, but wealth!
0:55:53 > 0:55:55After so long.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57The very thing we hoped for.
0:55:59 > 0:56:00And now it's here...
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Has it come too late?
0:56:14 > 0:56:15Demelza?
0:57:39 > 0:57:41I've applied for a post as a surgeon in the Navy.
0:57:41 > 0:57:43It makes me wonder if I should go?
0:57:43 > 0:57:45Is it wise to seek more confrontation?
0:57:45 > 0:57:48A man who owns land has a right to enclose it.
0:57:48 > 0:57:50I too struggle with the idea of my family home
0:57:50 > 0:57:53in the hands of a Warleggan, but Elizabeth has made her choice.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55Up to now, I've offered no violence.
0:57:55 > 0:57:56Is that a threat?
0:57:56 > 0:57:57You would not dare lay a finger on me.
0:57:57 > 0:58:01We should set a ring round Trenwith and burn it to the ground!
0:58:06 > 0:58:08Go to war, Ross...
0:58:08 > 0:58:10or stay home and save all of Cornwall!
0:58:10 > 0:58:13What it is to be married to such a great man(!)
