0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Can not a man love two women? - I think he loves Elizabeth better.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- To the Poldarks.- And Wheal Grace.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08HE SCREAMS
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- Are you stalking me, Dr Enys? - Not at all.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16- I am a gentleman, sir. - And she is an heiress.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17I ask you to marry me.
0:00:17 > 0:00:22- Don't go there tonight. - Get out of my way.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25I love him to distraction and will marry him next month.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Do you not want her?- I don't know.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31He's left me with only one possible choice.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I thought you should know, he has joined the Navy.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- I'm going to war. - So, these are our last few hours.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43My true and abiding love is for you.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45She will never come between us again.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49In the summer, Elizabeth gives birth to a Warleggan heir.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Unless it comes sooner.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12HORSE'S HOOVES THUNDER, SHE GASPS
0:01:14 > 0:01:16HORSE SNORTS
0:01:27 > 0:01:30HORSE WHINNIES IN DISTANCE
0:01:31 > 0:01:34SHE SCREAMS
0:01:38 > 0:01:41HORSE WHINNIES, SHE GASPS
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Elizabeth! - HORSE WHINNIES
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Are you hurt?- No, not in the least.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Please let go. I can manage. - You could have been thrown.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Well, is it any of your concern? - You were in difficulty.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Would you rather I just abandon you? - Because that would be unheard of?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I wish you nothing but good, Elizabeth.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- You must know that.- Must I?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15HORSE'S HOOVES APPROACH
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Elizabeth, what happened? One moment you were behind me, the next...
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- The horse bolted. - I happened to be close by.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Neither my wife nor my unborn child require your assistance.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Must you turn everything into a battle, George?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Lay hand or set foot on anything of mine again,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37and you will find the battle has barely begun.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- HORSE WHINNIES - Yah!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53How looked Elizabeth?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Must be near her time.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Or within a month of it. - I know little of these things.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- And care even less? - Would you rather I care more?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I'd rather there was one day in seven
0:04:07 > 0:04:09that you did not rise before dawn.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Then I fear you've married the wrong man.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14What is it for, Ross?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18You're always about some task, but to what purpose?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23'Tis almost as if to keep your mind from thinking.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Whereas you, my love, think too much.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37If you recall, my dear, I was against you riding at all
0:04:37 > 0:04:39with barely a month to go before the child.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Perhaps it was a little reckless. - And not for the first time.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Only yesterday, I find you lifting heavy books.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Before that, a three-mile walk.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Perhaps you'd advise against me joining you in Truro today.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55My dear, nothing would gratify me more
0:04:55 > 0:04:58than to have you beside me at the grand opening,
0:04:58 > 0:05:03but our priority now must be the welfare of the Warleggan heir.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05DOOR OPENS
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Mama, I heard Saphira took you for a gallop
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and Uncle Ross saved you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Who is spreading such tales? - We ought to thank him.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Shall we ask him and Aunt Demelza to dinner?- Excellent thought.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Uncle Ross and Aunt Demelza do not visit us now.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23But why should that be?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- They are Poldarks and we are... - Warleggans.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I've been thinking, boy,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32that the time has come for you to take my name.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34He was born a Poldark.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37But since his mama's marriage, he is now my son.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- HE SIGHS - Since you wish it,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- I will change my name...- Good boy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46..to Geoffrey Charles Francis Poldark.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50SHE SNIGGERS
0:05:57 > 0:06:01No. No. No. No, my dear.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Your efforts, though valiant, will be in vain.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Dr Enys warned me
0:06:08 > 0:06:11he could only prolong my life, not save it.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Dr Enys may be wrong.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Dr Enys is at sea
0:06:17 > 0:06:22and doubtless gives me not a second thought.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Still, there is, however,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29something that would ease me.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32If, when I'm gone,
0:06:32 > 0:06:39you will be cared for by a husband of wealth and consequence.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Lord Coniston has written,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45asking for permission to announce your engagement.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48And, as I have told you, I cannot consider it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52You are my only concern.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Still, I wish....
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Shh, Uncle. The subject is closed.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Captain Poldark! - HORSE WHINNIES
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Finally!- George thanking 'ee for saving Elizabeth?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18No. The thing I've been labouring to bring about for months.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- SHE LAUGHS - I must leave immediately.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33# Now, this old man went out to roam
0:07:33 > 0:07:35# Twee, tweedle, twee
0:07:35 > 0:07:37# Now, this old man went out to roam
0:07:37 > 0:07:39# Left his wife alone at home
0:07:39 > 0:07:43# For a funny old woman was she, was she
0:07:43 > 0:07:45# A funny old woman was she
0:07:45 > 0:07:47# A funny old woman was she. #
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- How will it be managed? - With care and the utmost secrecy.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Judas, I can scarce believe this day has come.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58It's far from over, and anything could go amiss.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Well?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Tomorrow.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Who be this, then?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Prudie, this be my brother, Drake. - Good day, ma'am.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59How be you've escaped father's clutches?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Nay, 'tis he did send me.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Wherefore?- To fetch 'ee home.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15And is the broodmare safely back in the stall?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I must ask you not to use such terms.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Elizabeth is much more to me than that.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Which, frankly, baffles me.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26The thrall she's exerted over you and Francis, Ross -
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I fail to see the fascination.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- In fact... - You think I could have done better.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Yes, Uncle. You've said so many times.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And the Poldark brat?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Grows more like his father every day.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- Spoilt, petulant. - And overly attached to his mother.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Two words.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Boarding school.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Softly, Uncle. These things must be done by degrees.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00But, in fact, I will be tackling the subject this very afternoon
0:10:00 > 0:10:04after we've commenced our mission to be the only bank in Cornwall.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11DOOR CLOSES
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Be this Cap'n Poldark? - My brother, Drake.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- What brings you here? - Father, sir, did send for Sister.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29- To what purpose? - To make his farewells. He's a-dyin'.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39- Will you go?- I've no liking to. The man never loved me.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- All he ever give'd me was bruises.- And I.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Though it do grieve me, I think I must decline.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54'Tis brother Sam did urge me here. I tell'd him 'ee wouldn't come back.
0:10:57 > 0:11:03- 'Tis not for want of love of thee. - I do know that, Sister.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20SHE SIGHS
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Impending arrival brings fresh travail.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28That's cheerful(!)
0:11:28 > 0:11:34Blood, name, purpose, fate -
0:11:34 > 0:11:36the cards tell me naught.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42But he's coming, sooner than we think.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49BAND PLAYS
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Uncle Ross!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Come indoors, boy. The rabble are mustering.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Would you like me to convey your respects
0:12:28 > 0:12:29to young Master Warleggan?
0:12:29 > 0:12:33By all means, if ever he exists.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39As if that monstrous bank were not enough.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Now George must flaunt his ownership of all the Trenwith Poldarks.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Well, he means to put me out of business.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Every day, he grows more dominant. - The war with France suits him.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Men like Enys go off to fight
0:12:53 > 0:12:56while George stays home and grows rich.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Fine way to make a profit(!)
0:12:59 > 0:13:01But of matters more pleasant -
0:13:01 > 0:13:05your accounts are healthy, your mine prospers.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08My land thrives, my family is well,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and I promised my wife my fighting days are done.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Then what could possibly go wrong?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21It did gladden the heart to see how 'ee live now, Sister -
0:13:21 > 0:13:25in such contentment and with so fine a gent as Cap'n Poldark.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Yes, Brother. Truly, I am blessed.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Tell Father that I'll pray for him.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01SHE SNIFFS Morwenna!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15This way, madam.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- Are we here to ask for money, Mama? - Don't be uncouth, Morwenna.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Your father may have left us destitute,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27but we are not so vulgar as to beg.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33My dear Mrs Chynoweth.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Such a noble family name
0:14:35 > 0:14:38and so undeserving of your current misfortune.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I hope I can be of service on this auspicious day.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43May I present my daughter, Morwenna?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I have the honour to be your relation,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49since I married your cousin, Elizabeth.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50And, as you may know,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52our first child will be born next month.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- Yet I worry for my stepson. - Is he unwell?
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Thankfully, no, but with the arrival of a sibling,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I'm concerned he may no longer receive the attention he deserves.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11But I've been speaking with your mother
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and we think we've found a solution.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21The bank opening was so dull.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I made Trigg take me home as soon as it was over.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27SHE CHUCKLES Uncle George has returned.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31But who is that with him?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02A governess?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06What on earth do you mean?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Forgive me, cousin, this is no reflection on you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11It's just...we have never discussed this.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Why would Geoffrey Charles even need a governess?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- My dear, you must see what I'm thinking?- Oh, we do!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Do we want him to feel neglected
0:16:21 > 0:16:23in his final year before he goes away to school?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27But I thought we'd agreed he would not go away.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I would miss him too much, and he would miss me.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32But your cousin is a most amiable girl.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34She's, of course, no substitute for you,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37yet she will help him to be less dependent.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39And her presence here will take the burden off you.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42My son is not a burden to me.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46And how can I applaud an arrangement in which I am no longer
0:16:46 > 0:16:48the major influence in my child's life?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51But how could you ever continue to be
0:16:51 > 0:16:55when, in a month, you will have our child to care for?
0:17:03 > 0:17:09- You fetched all I asked for? - Now you can supply the feast.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11If you can supply the guests.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I saw George outside his new bank.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Geoffrey Charles was with him. - By choice?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Francis must be turning in his grave.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Message from the mine. 'Ee have a visitor.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Who's our mystery caller?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Ah!- Well, Uncle Ross.- Well, Nephew.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- So, you've escaped your jailers? - Seeing you reminded me of Papa,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56so I thought, "Why should I not go and visit his mine?"
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- You're welcome any time. - So I should hope.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01After all, mining is in my blood.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Your father must have told you, mining is hard.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- And the results uncertain. - This seems real enough.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Well, that's the finished article.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I should like to find some for myself. May I?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30See here? This is a fine quartzy rock.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And that becomes bright, shiny metal?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Sounds easy, does it not?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40To think I'm the last of the Trenwith Poldarks.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- You forget Aunt Agatha.- So do you.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- HE LAUGHS - Or so she tells me!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I think of her often.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50And you.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17This is Morwenna, your new governess, and my cousin.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I hope, in time, we can become good friends.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Of course you will! - HE SCOFFS
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Oh, Aunt, Uncle Ross said I must pass on his good wishes.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- He misses you.- And I, him.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Where did you speak with Ross? - At the mine.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- I went to visit him. - By whose permission?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I need no permission to visit my own family.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Quite right, boy!
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Fitty fizzog he have, little brother of yourn.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- I wish he'd never come. - 'Ee'd sooner not be minded of him?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58There's much I'd sooner not be minded of.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I should learn to be like Ross.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05What he can't abide to think on, it's like it don't exist.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20SHE GROANS SOFTLY
0:20:26 > 0:20:28SHE GASPS
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- Ross, am I a bad daughter? - He was a bad father.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05And yet 'tis a bond, Ross...
0:21:07 > 0:21:08..father and child.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Despite all, it cannot be denied.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Can you be there and back in time? - If we leave now.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28If you're late, we cannot wait for you.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Of course. You mustn't miss the hour.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I can scarce believe 'twill happen at all.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It must and it will,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36provided the other parties play their part.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46No, Horace. You must stay here and guard Uncle Ray.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Caroline? Are you going out?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I've been thinking over what you said, Uncle,
0:21:53 > 0:21:54about Lord Coniston,
0:21:54 > 0:22:00- and I wondered if I shouldn't go to London.- Oh, my dear.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You'd make your old guardian very happy.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I only wish I could come with you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'll be there and back before you know it.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42KNOCK ON DOOR
0:22:42 > 0:22:44DOOR CREAKS OPEN
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Sister be here, Father, as ye did command.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Take his hand.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42The hour is upon me, Daughter.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I'd easier go...
0:23:46 > 0:23:50..if I know'd 'ee've returned to the light.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54The Lord is merciful and He shall guide 'ee home.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I thank the Lord kindly...
0:23:58 > 0:24:00..but I believe I know my own way.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Samuel. Drake.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10'Tis for thee to lead...
0:24:11 > 0:24:14..the fallen souls of Cornwall.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Aye, Father. We'll make it our mission.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Ah, Ross, here you are.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Tom Harry spied you riding this way.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I believe I'm free to do so.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Unless you've purchased every church in Cornwall.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48There are a few places I've yet to purchase,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Wheal Grace being one.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I think we both know there are things which even you cannot buy.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Your stepson, for instance.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02It would be a mistake to encourage his visits.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03A mistake for whom?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10He's my stepson and heir. He'd do well not to displease me.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Surely his very existence displeases you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I shall tolerate him for the moment
0:25:17 > 0:25:21for I may soon have a son of my own,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and then everything will change.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Before Papa died,
0:25:33 > 0:25:37sometimes villagers would pass and we'd all talk together.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40But since, Uncle George had fences built.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Why did he so?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Uncle George likes people to know what he owns.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47He's been very kind to me.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Oh, he is kind, till he gets what he wants.
0:25:52 > 0:25:58# Jesus, lover of my soul
0:25:58 > 0:26:05# Let me to thy bosom fly
0:26:05 > 0:26:12# While the nearer waters roll
0:26:12 > 0:26:18# While the tempest still is high
0:26:18 > 0:26:23# Hide me, O my Saviour, hide... #
0:26:23 > 0:26:25He can't last much longer.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I'd stay, but I'm already late.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32What will you do now?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Sam do wish us to get out and spread the Word.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39And what do you wish?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Just to get out.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Shall we begin?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
0:28:19 > 0:28:21here in the sight of God...
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Does your mama approve of you wandering so far?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30What harm can it do?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32I did not say I disapproved.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I'm a great believer in fresh air and exercise.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I see we'll agree very well.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Oh, look. There.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46That's my Uncle Ross and Aunt Demelza.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50The other gentleman is Dr Enys.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55He used to attend our family before Uncle George came.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59When Papa was alive, we saw much of Uncle Ross.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Even after, he and Mama were good friends...
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- ..but now, no longer.- How sad.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I wonder what could be the cause.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42SCREAMING
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Elizabeth?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Elizabeth? Elizabeth?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Elizabeth? Help! Give me some help here!
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Help me carry her upstairs.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58And send for Dr Choake. Bid him come at once!
0:30:02 > 0:30:04To Ross - who conceived and executed the plans,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07spirited me from Falmouth, arranged the parson.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08And even brought the bride's bouquet!
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Demelza's handiwork. - And the feast?
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Prudie must take some credit!
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Since Jud moved away she's had time to perfect her puddin's.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18And that be another good reason t' bless his departuring!
0:30:18 > 0:30:23- You don't miss your former wedded bliss?- Like a ruptured spleen!
0:30:23 > 0:30:26If Caroline and I are half as happy as our saviours,
0:30:26 > 0:30:28we'll be fortunate indeed.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Be Mr Penvenen very sick?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36He cannot last more than a fortnight.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38An' he've no suspicions?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Why would I distress him? But what could I do?
0:30:40 > 0:30:42The minute Dwight was granted leave,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I knew I could not wait a moment longer.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47An' must you return to your ship tomorrow?
0:30:47 > 0:30:5024 hours shore leave is all I'm permitted.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Has Dr Choake arrived yet?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55The servant says he's been called to another patient.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- He'll come when he can. - Damn him!
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I'll insist we have first call on his services in future.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- What other doctor is hereabouts? - Dr Enys?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06That quacksalver? Absolutely not. In any case, is he not at sea?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- What of Dr Behenna? - Lives the other side of Truro.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Take time to summon him. - Let him be summoned.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18SHE EXHALES
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Demelza and I regret we have chores to attend to.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Let me show you to your room.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Do you like her? I once feared you did not.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Now I know her better, I think her a remarkable woman.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46At pains to disguise her own goodness as if it were
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- something to be ashamed of! - Like someone else we know?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I'm forever in your debt.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56The debt was mine long before it was yours.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58I am honoured to be able to repay it.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02To Nampara, with haste.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Are you nervous?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25I would be, were tonight our first time.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- A remarkable woman I've married. - And I, a remarkable man.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Still, I hate having to deceive my uncle.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Would it kill him to know the truth?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48He has his heart set on my becoming Lady Coniston.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52He would give out entirely if he knew I was Mrs Enys.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- I'm sorry for that. - I could not be less so.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00But in his case, ignorance is most assuredly bliss.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05And in mine, bliss is most assuredly Caroline.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12It'll be hard for Dwight to leave again.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Yes. And yet you envy him.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Do I? His clarity of purpose, perhaps.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24The simple act of living in the moment,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27not knowing whether you'll live or die.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30And something more?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32A life more simple?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36No shadow from the past which may come back to haunt him?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Everyone has shadows. The trick is to outrun them.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Or ignore them.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49A letter come from Trenwith from Master Geoffrey.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Has he pushed his stepfather down the stairs?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Elizabeth's been taken ill.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Dr Choake cannot be found so the boy begs Dr Enys
0:34:04 > 0:34:05to come in his stead.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14There appears to be no external damage
0:34:14 > 0:34:18but these internal pains - you say the onset occurred
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- directly after the fall? - Almost at once.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Do you think they will go away?
0:34:25 > 0:34:26I suspect not.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Your wife has suffered a serious fall. You should prepare yourself.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39For what? Surely there's no risk to the infant?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Or Elizabeth?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Childbirth can be a precarious business,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47particularly when it comes a month early.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50You're not suggesting...?
0:34:50 > 0:34:53These are birthing pains, sir.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56The child will be born tonight.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08But surely that's a month before her time?
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Doubtless the fall has brought on her travail.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18So much for my wedding night!
0:35:25 > 0:35:27More port?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40SHE GROANS
0:35:42 > 0:35:46GROANING
0:35:51 > 0:35:55GROANING
0:36:03 > 0:36:06I warned you she was a poor choice.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11A younger, more robust specimen
0:36:11 > 0:36:13would have better served the purpose.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29How difficult it must be for him, he and Elizabeth.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Forgive me, I've no wish to be impertinent...
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- ..but did they not...? - What?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45..love each other once?
0:36:45 > 0:36:49And though it's long past, to know that tonight she'll
0:36:49 > 0:36:52be delivered of the child of his worst enemy -
0:36:52 > 0:36:54it must be vexing.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Yes, I believe it is.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04GROANING
0:37:06 > 0:37:11If it comes to a choice, obviously the child takes priority.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13SHE GASPS
0:37:18 > 0:37:22She is in a good deal of pain. When do you expect Dr Choake?
0:37:22 > 0:37:26God knows! It's hours since he was summoned to Killewarren.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Killewarren? On whose account?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Ray Penvenen's, naturally.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Apparently he's taken a turn for the worst.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- And just when his niece has left for London.- Dear God.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39He's had a good innings. No-one's immortal.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Dr Behenna is delayed in Truro.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- You would not think of leaving my wife unattended?- Of course not.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46But I'm expected back at Nampara.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I'd be grateful if you could have a note delivered for me.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Ross?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59No sign of Dwight?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02How unlucky is he?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07This accident could hardly have come at a worse time.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09You think it an accident, then?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12The boy's letter said so.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Yet, why would Elizabeth fall down the stairs?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22KNOCK AT DOOR
0:38:26 > 0:38:31That ape Tom Harry! How dare he show his ugly fat phizog 'ere!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Oh, Judas!
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Dear God! I must go to my uncle.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Can Dwight meet me there? - Elizabeth is gravely ill.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49How ill?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Is she dying?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Is the child?
0:38:57 > 0:38:58The letter doesn't say so but...
0:38:58 > 0:39:01I must go to Killewarren at once.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03You'll go with Caroline?
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Of course.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18HORSE NEIGHS
0:39:18 > 0:39:22What is that at the edge of the moon?
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- What is it? - A black moon.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38'Tis a bad omen, mark my words.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- Quickly. - SHE GROANS
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Feet up.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50SHE SCREAMS
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Sam?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11What do it mean?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15'Tis the coming of the shadow of death.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23SHE EXHALES
0:40:26 > 0:40:28MUFFLED GROANS
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- I ne'er was the god-fearing kind. - Nor I.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40But if I were, I'd pray.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42For what, maid?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Deliverance.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49SHE SCREAMS
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Is it alive?!
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Is it alive?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10HEAVY BREATHING
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Father, I will do as 'ee bid me.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Go forth into the world an' save souls.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Do 'ee join me, brother?
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Uncle Ray?
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Caroline? You should be halfway to London by now.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10I came back. I realised there is nothing there which cannot wait.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12And will you stay with me now?
0:42:13 > 0:42:15For as long as you wish.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37BABY GURGLES
0:42:37 > 0:42:39You have a son.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Your son is healthy, strong.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59He appears no worse for coming a month early.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- I think we need to detain you no longer.- On the contrary.
0:43:59 > 0:44:03Your wife has endured a difficult birthing.
0:44:03 > 0:44:04Much as it inconveniences me,
0:44:04 > 0:44:07I cannot leave until I'm assured of her safety.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- He favours you, I think.- Yes.
0:44:23 > 0:44:28Yes, I see the resemblance.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35BABY GURGLES
0:45:02 > 0:45:06May I present my son and heir.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14So that's what an eight-month brat looks like!
0:45:14 > 0:45:16Hold your tongue, old woman,
0:45:16 > 0:45:19before my nephew has you thrown on the midden!
0:45:20 > 0:45:24- What will be his name? - Old family names be the best.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27Joshua or Francis...
0:45:27 > 0:45:28or Ross.
0:45:30 > 0:45:34Elizabeth and I agree his name will be Valentine.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37May I take Geoffrey Charles to see his mama?
0:45:37 > 0:45:40- Can you not wait till morning? - I want to see her now.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Chastise him for his insolence.
0:45:49 > 0:45:53- Show him who's the master here. - Aye, do!
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- Call Tom Harry. - That great lump!
0:46:01 > 0:46:06- He doesn't frighten me! - Well, he should.
0:46:13 > 0:46:17Take Miss Poldark's chair and remove it to her chamber...
0:46:17 > 0:46:20and Miss Poldark with it.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27Unhand me, you devils!
0:46:27 > 0:46:31- George, tell them to put me down! - Carry on.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Elizabeth shall hear of this!
0:46:34 > 0:46:38Manhandled in my own house! Stay, you vermin!
0:46:38 > 0:46:40I would speak!
0:46:45 > 0:46:47That child of yours.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51What of him?
0:46:51 > 0:46:53Cursed he be!
0:46:53 > 0:46:58Born under the black moon. No good shall come to him!
0:47:09 > 0:47:11SHE HISSES
0:48:33 > 0:48:39I have never known the blessing of a happy marriage...
0:48:40 > 0:48:46..but it's been my privilege to have had the guardianship of you.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50Shh, uncle, do not exhaust yourself.
0:48:50 > 0:48:56Had I ever married, I might have understood what it is
0:48:56 > 0:48:59to follow one's heart
0:48:59 > 0:49:04and I should not have prevented you from doing so.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Can you ever forgive me?
0:49:10 > 0:49:15Oh, Uncle Ray, what if I told you there was nothing to forgive?
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Oh, my dear girl.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34My dear, dear girl.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30Elizabeth is alive...
0:50:30 > 0:50:32and her son.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Dwight returned just before dawn and left shortly after for Falmouth.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44- I must speak with George. - Why?
0:50:47 > 0:50:50There is a conversation which can no longer be avoided.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03The babe doesn't look at all like me.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06That's because he's your half brother.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08He may be more Warleggan than Chynoweth.
0:51:13 > 0:51:17Now that he's here, you must be prepared for change.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20- Your mama will be much occupied. - She will always have time for me.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24Of course. Love will never change, but...
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Where are we?
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Is this still Trenwith land?
0:51:28 > 0:51:30Nampara's. Does it matter?
0:51:30 > 0:51:34- Only that your Uncle George may... - Uncle George doesn't concern me.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38Let's go further!
0:51:38 > 0:51:41HE LAUGHS Come on!
0:51:55 > 0:51:58Well, Ross!
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Are you here to congratulate me?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Fatherhood changes everything, does it not?
0:52:10 > 0:52:12Will you take a drink with me?
0:52:36 > 0:52:40Why have you really come?
0:52:40 > 0:52:42To make a bargain with you.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46Always assuming you have something I want.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49I do.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53Myself - out of your life.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57So these are my terms.
0:52:58 > 0:53:02You possess things I hold dear.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05My family mine, Wheal Leisure.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10My family home, Trenwith.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13But most importantly, my great aunt and nephew.
0:53:15 > 0:53:16Is that all?
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Have a care for them.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Do not use them as a means to injure me,
0:53:22 > 0:53:25or you will wish you had never been born.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31In return, I will remove myself from your life.
0:53:32 > 0:53:36You will live in your world and I will live in mine
0:53:36 > 0:53:40and there will be no need for our paths to cross ever again.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Is it far now?
0:53:55 > 0:53:57A mile or two, brother.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Will 'ee ask her, or shall I?
0:54:01 > 0:54:04As to that, I believe the Lord will guide us.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08Do 'ee believe 'tis all his plan?
0:54:08 > 0:54:11For instance, do he decree us to meet yon souls up yonder?
0:54:14 > 0:54:19Maybe so, brother. For he 'ave made we fishers o' men.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21And this could be our first catch.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29I'm hungry. I hope Mrs Trigg's made jellies!
0:54:30 > 0:54:33- Good day.- Good day to you, ma'am.
0:54:33 > 0:54:35Do 'ee know the way to Nampara?
0:54:35 > 0:54:38But we know'st the way.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41I regret I'm a stranger here.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44I'm not. Stay on the path and you'll come to it directly.
0:54:46 > 0:54:47Much obliged, sur.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50We're strangers us'selves.
0:54:50 > 0:54:55Do 'ee bide in these parts or be just passin' through?
0:54:55 > 0:54:56She's staying.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Are you not, Morwenna?
0:54:59 > 0:55:02Morwenna?
0:55:03 > 0:55:06'Tis a liltin', musical name.
0:55:09 > 0:55:10I'm Drake.
0:55:10 > 0:55:13'Tis a pleasure to meet 'ee.
0:55:13 > 0:55:18- And you, sir. - I 'ope we may meet again.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45I know why ye've come.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52This is a change of heart!
0:55:52 > 0:55:55There was a time when you fought to escape your family.
0:55:55 > 0:56:00- As you now mean to escape yours? - George is not my family.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Geoffrey Charles is.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06I must trust him to his mother's care.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08And the child?
0:56:10 > 0:56:12To his father's.
0:56:16 > 0:56:17Yes, Ross.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20So we'll have no more to do with Trenwith.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23I think that's for the best.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26No good can now come of connection between our two families.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33And since you've lost a part of your family,
0:56:33 > 0:56:35can you find it in you to embrace a part o' mine?
0:56:41 > 0:56:47My dear, you will be pleased to hear we are rid of him!
0:56:47 > 0:56:50- Who?- Ross.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Finally he has admitted defeat.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57He will never again approach our house nor any member of our family.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59- He actually said that?- Hmm!
0:57:01 > 0:57:03A new chapter begins...
0:57:03 > 0:57:05without him.
0:57:14 > 0:57:16There's something I must tell you, Ross.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20Though I fear you will not like it.
0:57:21 > 0:57:23I'm with child again.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30You're not displeased?
0:57:32 > 0:57:35I might wish the timing were better.
0:57:35 > 0:57:37The war's getting deadlier
0:57:37 > 0:57:42and everything in this world seems less certain...except for you.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46- Are you so certain o' me? - Perhaps I don't deserve to be.
0:57:46 > 0:57:49No, you do not!
0:57:49 > 0:57:51But with you beside me...
0:57:53 > 0:57:55..whatever life sends...
0:57:57 > 0:57:59We can face it.
0:58:09 > 0:58:15Ross Poldark has chosen to sever all ties with his Trenwith relations.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18And you'll favour me by never setting foot on Trenwith land,
0:58:18 > 0:58:20nor having dealings with any of the household.
0:58:20 > 0:58:23- Who's that?- Miss Morwenna!
0:58:23 > 0:58:25It seems a lifetime since I married Dwight.
0:58:25 > 0:58:27He'll be home again soon.
0:58:27 > 0:58:30- We have an invitation from Sir Francis Basset.- Who's he?
0:58:30 > 0:58:31What George aspires to be.
0:58:31 > 0:58:34There are rumours that the merchant ship is the Esmeralda.
0:58:34 > 0:58:36- She appears to be missing. - And the Travail?
0:58:36 > 0:58:38Lost off the French coast.
