0:00:02 > 0:00:04If you are found ashore after midnight, you will be executed.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06I have the list of names.

0:00:06 > 0:00:07Oh, Ross, he's alive!

0:00:07 > 0:00:10- What is his name? - Lieutenant Armitage, sir.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12They only praise the Lord in their own way,

0:00:12 > 0:00:15but Odgers forbids them the church. Where must they go?

0:00:15 > 0:00:17Captain Ross would gift we this storehouse?

0:00:17 > 0:00:21I, George Warleggan, do swear to act as a Justice of the Peace.

0:00:21 > 0:00:2220 lashes.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26Ross sends his brother-in-law to encroach upon our lives yet again!

0:00:26 > 0:00:29- Are we never to be rid of him? - Not here, but in Truro...

0:00:29 > 0:00:30I'll miss Geoffrey Charles, of course,

0:00:30 > 0:00:33but the thought of being out of Ross's reach...

0:00:40 > 0:00:42GULLS CRY

0:00:44 > 0:00:46WAVES CRASH

0:01:20 > 0:01:22WAVES CRASH

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- The grain ship's in! - It's in! The grain ship's in!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50ANIMATED SHOUTS

0:01:56 > 0:01:59The Princess Charlotte was ambushed this morning at Truro quay.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Was she carrying corn?- Mm.

0:02:01 > 0:02:02Then, of course she was ambushed.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04What else could starving people do?

0:02:04 > 0:02:08You have been found guilty of riot and theft.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Crimes for which there can be no justification.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12The grain stores have been empty for months.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Failed harvest, worst winter in 30 years.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17To summon up a vicious mob,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20to seize without compunction the property of your betters.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22This demonstrates a contempt for the law

0:02:22 > 0:02:23which cannot go unpunished.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28How else are poor folks to get food in their belly?

0:02:28 > 0:02:30No doubt they paid dearly for it.

0:02:30 > 0:02:3220 dead.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Some shot...others trampled underfoot in the panic.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Is the Princess Charlotte not a Warleggan ship?- She is.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Then those who survived will also pay.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44I'm committing you for trial at the next assizes

0:02:44 > 0:02:46with recommendation that you be sentenced

0:02:46 > 0:02:48to 15 years transportation.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49- It's not fair! - DISGRUNTLED SHOUTS

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Move along!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Argh!

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- SHE BREATHES HARD - Prudie?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Run and make sure all's ready.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35I don't like it. It ain't sense, it ain't clever, it ain't wise.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38It is more than wise to avoid the faddlings of Dr Choake!

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Without Dwight, Ross won't hear of me birthing alone,

0:03:40 > 0:03:43but what he don't know can't hurt him!

0:03:45 > 0:03:46DEMELZA BREATHES HARD

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Run!

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Do George Warleggan not see the connection

0:03:55 > 0:03:57between failed harvests and folk rioting?

0:03:57 > 0:04:00And his decision to hoard grain? Clearly not.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03I give you Wheal Leisure.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Once a Poldark mine, built on Poldark land.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Begun with high hopes and the naive aim

0:04:10 > 0:04:14of giving work and decent living conditions to local men and women.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Now in the hands of a man without conscience.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19For whom workers are chaff and profit is God!

0:04:19 > 0:04:20It was a noble aim, Ross.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22It was a worthy enterprise.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24I wonder if he thinks so.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28What did he die of, starvation?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Pneumonia.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36I'm told he'd been fading for weeks, but declined to stay home and rest.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38He has only himself to blame.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40It would appear so.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45This was a good mine before you got your hands on her, George.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48My dear Ross, this was only ever an average mine.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Oh, the famous red copper?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53The precious commodity which made her such a rarity?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's finished.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Oh, there are other lodes.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Far less rich, far less profitable.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Yet I see why you're so attached to her.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07You're kindred spirits.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Both full of noise, but ultimately lacking in substance.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Go on, Ross, tell me to get off your land. Oh, wait! You can't.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Because the land we're standing on belongs to the mine.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23And the mine belongs to me.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27How do you sleep at night, George?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Perhaps you should ask Elizabeth.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Ross, shall we?

0:06:02 > 0:06:03Demelza?

0:06:11 > 0:06:12Demelza?

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Captain Ross, Mistress Demelza say, can you fetch her up a dish of soup?

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Surely that's your... DOOR SLAMS

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Thank you kindly, my man.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Just set it down over there.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Are you unwell? - Never better.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Can I do anything else for Your Ladyship?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, you could say good day to your daughter.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Miss Clowance Poldark.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Where was Dr Choake?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, it was all over before we could send for him.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12HE CHUCKLES

0:07:21 > 0:07:24BABY WAILS

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Why is he so fretful?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Dr Choake says it's wilfulness.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31He thinks we should put our foot down.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Martha, see he's kept warm and quiet.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yes, ma'am.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm going to Lady Randolph's for tea.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Do you dine at home this evening?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49At the Trevelyans. And then to the Carricks for cards.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Invitations come thick and fast.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Though not from the Godolphins.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Despite your letting young Anthony off the hook in court.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02These ancient families require persistence.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04But Christmas is coming, the perfect excuse for a ball.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07To which the Godolphins will be invited.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08But will they accept?

0:08:12 > 0:08:16I must go. I'm expected at a Wheal Leisure shareholders' meeting.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Sadly, without the presence of Ross Poldark to amuse me.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Hm! How I miss the days when I had him at my mercy.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35BIRDS SING

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Drake! You came! What's in your basket?

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Toads! - You said your aunt loved a toad.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55GEOFFREY CHARLES CHUCKLES

0:08:58 > 0:09:01I've a gift for you, too, Miss Morwenna.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Winter primroses!

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Where did you find them?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09That's for me to know.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12But if you ever wish for more, I'll comb the earth in search of them.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Come on.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Aunt Agatha, Drake's here, with a surprise!

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Uncle George hates toads.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28He had them all cleared from our pond.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Imagine if they ever came back!

0:09:30 > 0:09:35Geoffrey Charles, I'm not sure your Uncle George would approve.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Of the toad?- Of our guest.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Aunt Agatha won't tell him, will you, Aunt?

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Did you know Geoffrey Charles's friend is related to my nephew?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Of course you do.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58For Geoffrey Charles's friend tells you a great deal.

0:10:01 > 0:10:08Tell my nephew his aunt is much aggrieved at his neglect!

0:10:12 > 0:10:14I have a letter.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17From our celebrated member of parliament, Unwin Trevaunance!

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Whom you jilted.- I may have encouraged him to think he had another chance.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- In return for?- Information on a certain naval officer.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26- And?- According to this letter,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28he's brought his influence to bear at the Admiralty,

0:10:28 > 0:10:31and they have everything in hand.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Have they?- Our people are speaking to their people,

0:10:33 > 0:10:35and shortly, all the officers will be released.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37- In time for Christmas? - Or shortly after.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39So Unwin has his uses, after all.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41THEY GIGGLE

0:10:48 > 0:10:50FAINT CHATTER

0:10:50 > 0:10:52COUGHING

0:10:57 > 0:10:59YELLING

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- A letter for you, Miss.- Thank you.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Oh.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Geoffrey Charles and I are to go to Truro for Christmas.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40To Uncle George's?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43The carriage will come for us on Saturday.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45How long will you be gone?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47A few weeks?

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Maybe more.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58I'd come to bid you goodbye, but I must be at the christening.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00'Tis my sister's child, Clowance.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Your cousin, Master Geoffrey.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06If we're away for Christmas, I must give you your present now.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Oh, there's no need. - Oh, there is. Wait there.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I've nothing to give you. - You gave me this.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's the most precious gift I've ever received.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25You never take it off.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27I never will.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Here you are, Drake.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44So you can write to me when I'm away.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Oh, thank you, Master Geoffrey.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Your cheeks are flushed, Wenna. Have you a fever?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Be that the light of God in your eyes?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Maybe not entire, but it is sacred to me nonetheless.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12But is she worth the risk of your mortal soul?

0:13:14 > 0:13:15Reckon so.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Is that wise?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32I have neglected her of late.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35You swore you'd keep your distance from all things Trenwith.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Agatha is not all things Trenwith.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42She's a Poldark, and my aunt.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44George has brought Leisure to its knees

0:13:44 > 0:13:47and I'll be damned if he'll do the same to Agatha.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50So why shouldn't she come to my daughter's christening?

0:13:55 > 0:13:57KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:14:28 > 0:14:30GULLS CRY

0:14:30 > 0:14:33BELL TOLLS

0:14:33 > 0:14:35GEESE CACKLE

0:14:48 > 0:14:51I've sent the carriage for Morwenna and Geoffrey Charles,

0:14:51 > 0:14:53as you requested.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Geoffrey Charles, wait! - You needn't come!

0:15:00 > 0:15:02I don't think either of us should.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04I'm going, Wenna. No-one needs to know.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14Over it, the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16My husband is here in spirit.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18And as godfather in absentia.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21In these times of dire poverty and starvation...

0:15:23 > 0:15:26..remind us how you led the children of Israel...

0:15:27 > 0:15:28..out of their bondage in Egypt...

0:15:30 > 0:15:31..into the land of plenty.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36How your son, Jesus, received the baptism of John

0:15:36 > 0:15:40and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44Christ did lead us through the toils and tribulations of this earth,

0:15:44 > 0:15:48from the bondage of suffering into everlasting life.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- I hope you'll forgive our intrusion. - It's no intrusion.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Will you join our celebrations at Nampara?

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Oh. Well...

0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Oh, Wenna, let's! - I don't think we can.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02We're leaving for Truro. Indeed, we're already late.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04But maybe just for half an hour?

0:16:08 > 0:16:09I fear we cannot.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Much as I would like to.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- You'll spend Christmas in Truro? - More's the pity!

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Uncle George is no St Nicholas!

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- And poor Aunt Agatha will be left all alone.- Indeed.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24- My brother is a gentle soul. - He has a kind of goodness.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26The like of which, I've never known.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28And were he of your station,

0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'd wish for nothing more.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33But he's far beneath it.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Cannot aspire to it.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38You know it.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45I know it.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49'Tis well you're going away.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52It will break the bond.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53So I tell myself.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Goodbye, Morwenna.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03Come, Geoffrey Charles, we're very late.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07My hat! I left it on the seat.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08I'll go.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22- I'll come and visit.- No.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26This must stop.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Can you stop?

0:17:32 > 0:17:33Yes.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Cheery little thing.- Sometimes.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56- How has she been?- Just fine.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Did you hear about the goings in St Ann's?

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Another corn ship raided, two young tackers shot.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Unwin assures me it's only a matter of time before Dr Enys will be released.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11And in the meantime, he receives the best possible treatment.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18FAINT GROANING

0:18:29 > 0:18:33Did I not order you to rest, Lieutenant Armitage?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35And who would order you to rest?

0:18:36 > 0:18:39If any dared, I wouldn't heed them.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Then may I watch and try and learn something useful?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02'Tis good news of Dwight.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04If it's true.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06You forget, I've been a prisoner-of-war myself.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10But Dwight's a doctor, will he not get special privileges?

0:19:10 > 0:19:11Let's hope so.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16I intend to open my house to all emigre nobles

0:19:16 > 0:19:18fleeing that wicked regime.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19It's the least I can do.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23She hates to feel useless.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25I know the feeling.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51What is it? Do you not like my gown?

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Your gown is exquisite.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00But I cannot permit you to dance tonight.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04With anyone but I.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Geoffrey Charles has some spirit.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm impressed he disobeyed his governess.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28Which reminds me, Aunt Agatha never replied.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Perhaps she never received the note.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33There's only one thing for it. I shall go and fetch her myself.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36They'll never admit you. They'll likely shoot you!

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Not if I'm with him.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42We shan't be long.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Mama!

0:20:54 > 0:20:57You're very late. Go up and change before the guests arrive.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Guests?- For the ball.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Oh. But...- I've ordered a new dress for you. Make haste.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Begging your pardon, sir.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Captain Poldark is here to visit his aunt.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24A glass of canary and a blazing fire, if you please.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Of course I never had your invitation!

0:21:26 > 0:21:30Do you think I'd miss a chance to drink port and eat heavy cake?

0:21:30 > 0:21:31This room is like ice.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33The maids don't make me a fire.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36So that's George's plan.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38To kill you with cold and infection.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Pfft!

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Come and live with me at Nampara.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45And lose the chance to torment him? Nah!

0:21:45 > 0:21:49I was born in this house, I'll die in this house!

0:21:49 > 0:21:52If it costs me cake, a few hot coals...

0:21:52 > 0:21:54What must Geoffrey Charles think,

0:21:54 > 0:21:57seeing that gamecock strut about his home?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59And Valentine.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06I feel sorry for any child, having that as a father.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13FAINT ANIMATED CHATTER

0:22:29 > 0:22:33No Godolphins, no Boscowans and no Bassets.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's snowing. They'll be anxious about the journey home.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Mm! Very eye-catching!

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Always was. No wonder Francis never let her out of his sight.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45I meant the cousin.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46Morwenna, I'm bored!

0:22:47 > 0:22:49I wish we were at Uncle Ross's party.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52We should not have even been at the christening.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54I'm sorry I allowed myself to be persuaded.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58I'm not, I'd like to know my cousin Clowance better.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'd wager she's less dull than Valentine! Huh!

0:23:05 > 0:23:08First thing tomorrow, I'll write to Harrow.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09I want that brat out of my house.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13FOOTSTEPS

0:23:17 > 0:23:20- How was she?- As expected.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Your task is to look after my aunt, is it not?- Aye, sir.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Then you've failed miserably.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29I'll be making regular visits from now on.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33And if you fail to ensure her comfort, I'll have you dismissed.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Did Morwenna enjoy the christening?

0:23:43 > 0:23:44Christening?

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Oh, did she neglect to mention?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Her and Geoffrey Charles were at Sawle Church today,

0:23:49 > 0:23:51where the latest Poldark brat was baptised.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Clowance, I believe they named her.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Ross and Demelza have a daughter?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Let's hope they're less careless with this one.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03But how could Geoffrey Charles...?

0:24:06 > 0:24:09He cannot be blamed. It must be Morwenna who...

0:24:09 > 0:24:12She must be reprimanded, punished.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Oh, she will be.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Ah! My dear Mr Whitworth!

0:24:24 > 0:24:27I was so sorry to hear of your wife's death.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29How are your two little girls?

0:24:29 > 0:24:32As well as can be expected, ma'am. It's only been a week.

0:24:32 > 0:24:36Only your kind invitation could have forced me to leave the house today.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Life must go on.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42My very thought when I chose this waistcoat.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43THEY CHUCKLE

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Friends of yours, then, Captain?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Caught robbing another Warleggan grain ship.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Look pretty with their necks in a noose.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01What can I say?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04He's within his rights to protect Warleggan property.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Is George not aware the harvest failed, no corn to be had anywhere?

0:25:09 > 0:25:10Of course he's aware.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Which is why he imports, hoards and sells to the highest bidder.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18Riot and theft will not help these people, so, what will?

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Say nothing of her misdemeanour.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25- But surely... - There may be a better solution.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27She's not an ill-looking girl.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29She must surely hope to be more than just a governess.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30Eventually, yes, but...

0:25:30 > 0:25:34When Geoffrey Charles goes to school, what does the future hold for her?

0:25:34 > 0:25:37I know it would please you to have her well-matched.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40And it could be advantageous to us,

0:25:40 > 0:25:42depending on the candidate.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45A highly-respected young man.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51And his mother is a Godolphin.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Hm!

0:25:57 > 0:25:59My dear, have you been introduced?

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Our cousin, Miss Chynoweth.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04The Reverend Osborne Whitworth.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09Shall we assay the gavotte, Miss Chynoweth?

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Oh! I hope you'll excuse me, sir, I'm not fond of dancing.

0:26:13 > 0:26:18That can only be because your partners thus far have lacked expertise.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Allow a master to initiate you in the pleasures.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36BIRDS SING

0:26:43 > 0:26:47# God bless the master of this house

0:26:47 > 0:26:49# The mistress, also

0:26:49 > 0:26:54# And all the little children That round the table go

0:26:54 > 0:26:57# And all your kin and kinsmen

0:26:57 > 0:27:00# That dwell both far and near

0:27:00 > 0:27:03# We wish a Merry Christmas

0:27:03 > 0:27:05# And Happy New Year. #

0:27:06 > 0:27:07That looks good, doesn't it?

0:27:07 > 0:27:10How very blessed we are.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12I wonder how Dwight will keep Christmas this year?

0:27:19 > 0:27:22SPEAKS FRENCH:

0:27:27 > 0:27:29MAN LAUGHS

0:27:29 > 0:27:31COUGHING

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Easy now, Williams.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

0:27:41 > 0:27:42God's grace be with you.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Move it!

0:27:45 > 0:27:47CHILD WAILS

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Here.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Starvation breeds desperate men.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54I never knew it this bad.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57It's like they could tear us to pieces and eat us alive!

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Humanity has brought this on itself.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Have sinned and must pay the price.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03What sin?

0:28:03 > 0:28:08Let all examine their consciences to check they are without blemish.

0:28:08 > 0:28:09Mine is.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12On account of I don't consider love to be a sin.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23Oh, Ross! What can be done for these people?

0:28:24 > 0:28:26So that's my proposal.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28We cannot feed all of Cornwall,

0:28:28 > 0:28:31so we must keep this plan to ourselves.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33I admit it's risky.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36It requires each and every one of us to play our part

0:28:36 > 0:28:38and it may fall at the first hurdle.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40- But unless we do something... - I'm with you.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42We all are.

0:28:42 > 0:28:43Where do we start?

0:28:44 > 0:28:46With an old friend.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50May an old friend speak plainly?

0:28:50 > 0:28:52You're out of your mind!

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Huh! That's promising!

0:28:54 > 0:28:56Even if supplies were easier to come by,

0:28:56 > 0:28:58which in times of war, they're not,

0:28:58 > 0:29:02even if we could get them across the Channel unscathed

0:29:02 > 0:29:04and land them unseen,

0:29:04 > 0:29:08with no guarantee of a delivery day, the cost would be...

0:29:08 > 0:29:11Prohibitive? I realise that.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14But money will be found.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19- Are you sure?- You have my word.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23FAINT GROANING

0:29:23 > 0:29:25COUGHING

0:29:28 > 0:29:30- WEAKLY:- Enys?

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Enys?

0:29:37 > 0:29:39I'm here, Williams.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43What is it, my friend?

0:29:44 > 0:29:47Wa...water, please. Water.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55GROANING

0:30:13 > 0:30:15FAINT CHATTER

0:30:32 > 0:30:34This will do very well.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38Yet it sit not easy with I that a house of God be used as a cache.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Nevertheless, it will be so used.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43It's the last place anyone will look.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47I like not your way of doing, brother.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Get used to it, brother.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59What would Dwight make of us now? Do we look the part?

0:30:59 > 0:31:00Of highwaymen?

0:31:00 > 0:31:04Is it not our mission to part as many men from their guineas as possible?

0:31:10 > 0:31:11Good day to you, sir!

0:31:11 > 0:31:14A fine morning to address the business of matrimony.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30As to the matter of a settlement for Miss Chynoweth,

0:31:30 > 0:31:32I've been thinking of £2,000.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34Ah!

0:31:35 > 0:31:38My dear sir, you'll pardon me, but a man in my position

0:31:38 > 0:31:41must look the part, dress the part,

0:31:41 > 0:31:44carry himself in such a way as to inspire awe.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48- Must he?- Besides which, with debts of over £1,000,

0:31:48 > 0:31:51I could not in all countenance accept a penny less

0:31:51 > 0:31:53than 6,000...

0:31:53 > 0:31:54guineas.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58Put simply, Sir John, our mission is this,

0:31:58 > 0:32:00to raise enough funds to help the poor hereabouts

0:32:00 > 0:32:02survive the worst winter in living memory.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04My mother is a Godolphin.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06And Morwenna is a Chynoweth.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08One of the oldest families in the county.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10Daughter of a dean.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13Devout, healthy, particularly fond of motherless children.

0:32:13 > 0:32:18But if you feel there is another pretty young lady with £2,000

0:32:18 > 0:32:22willing to yoke herself to a penniless clergyman,

0:32:22 > 0:32:25you are, of course, at liberty to seek her out.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28Our own households have begun by pledging 50 guineas apiece.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31I've also made a large donation in my late uncle's name.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34And we do feel sure you'll not be wanting in your own generosity.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01Far be it from we, Sir Philip, to tell a body how much he should pledge,

0:33:01 > 0:33:03but perhaps we could mention

0:33:03 > 0:33:05that Sir John has just offered 20 guineas.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13My dear, you do him wrong.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15I believed he offered 25.

0:33:15 > 0:33:19I could be prevailed upon to accept £4,000.

0:33:19 > 0:33:23In times of economic hardship, it would be irresponsible of us

0:33:23 > 0:33:26to increase the offer beyond £2,000.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28As I was saying to Miss Penvenen,

0:33:28 > 0:33:30you'll not find a kindlier man than Sir Hugh.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32He is generosity itself!

0:33:32 > 0:33:35It would be impossible to exist on so paltry a sum!

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Doubtless God will then guide your steps

0:33:37 > 0:33:41towards some amiable young heiress.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Shall I put you down for 30 guineas?

0:33:59 > 0:34:04Taking into consideration the many blessings I would gain

0:34:04 > 0:34:07in the actual personage of Miss Chynoweth,

0:34:07 > 0:34:12I believe I'd be willing to accept £3,500.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15Good God, man, do you imagine I have money to burn?!

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Finally, a deal!

0:34:33 > 0:34:36To be related to the Godolphins, I was willing to go higher,

0:34:36 > 0:34:38but the idiot settled for £3,000.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40HE CHUCKLES

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Now all that remains is for you to inform the bride.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Oh!

0:34:44 > 0:34:47But surely, as you are the one who has made all the arrangements...

0:34:47 > 0:34:52I would not, for the world, deprive you of this happy task, my dear.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54Hm!

0:34:59 > 0:35:01- May I help you?- Morwenna?

0:35:21 > 0:35:22Marry...

0:35:23 > 0:35:25..Mr Whitworth?

0:35:25 > 0:35:28Well, I need hardly enumerate the advantages of the match.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31The excellent prospects of the groom.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35Your immediate transformation from governess to lady of the town.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39The help it will be to your widowed mother and younger sisters.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42Mr Warleggan's generosity in providing the settlement.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47Do our kind thoughts displease you?

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Does Mr Whitworth's love mean nothing at all?

0:35:50 > 0:35:51I do not know Mr Whitworth!

0:35:52 > 0:35:55We have barely exchanged three sentences.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58He knows enough to wish to make you his wife.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00- As I told your mother... - You've written to her?

0:36:00 > 0:36:03Emphasising the excellence of the match.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05The goodness and piety of the groom.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07I'm sure she'll be delighted.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09She would be, if she thought I loved him!

0:36:11 > 0:36:12But I do not.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18I think, though your mother would wish you to be happy,

0:36:18 > 0:36:22she'd be dismayed to think of you finding fault with a match

0:36:22 > 0:36:26because of some false, romantic notion of what marriage should be.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29Is it wrong to hope for love in a marriage?

0:36:31 > 0:36:34When you wed Francis, did you not marry for love?

0:36:36 > 0:36:40I married for what I thought was love.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42The illusion lasted barely a year.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46My marriage to Mr Warleggan was not founded on romance,

0:36:46 > 0:36:49yet it is altogether more successful.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13From Caroline Penvenen.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Begging 30 guineas to help the poor.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21You lately spent 3,000 on a dowry.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Will another 30 bankrupt you?

0:37:25 > 0:37:27I dare say she expects a refusal.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Then I shall disappoint her.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39From George Warleggan...

0:37:40 > 0:37:42..50 guineas?

0:37:42 > 0:37:44I know his game. It is not compassion for the poor,

0:37:44 > 0:37:47it is so his name's at top of the list of benefactors.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Well, into the pot it goes.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51Perhaps we should become footpads.

0:37:51 > 0:37:52Now all we need is the goods.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00BABY CRIES

0:38:27 > 0:38:30# Forth in thy name O, Lord, I go... #

0:38:30 > 0:38:33Are you sure the goods will be safe here?

0:38:34 > 0:38:36It's only for one night.

0:38:36 > 0:38:37Tomorrow, we'll be done.

0:38:37 > 0:38:42God willing. Yet, landing a cargo of such value in utmost secrecy...

0:38:42 > 0:38:44It will not be plain sailing.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Can you believe they're at this again?

0:39:03 > 0:39:06I seen Mr Ross and the others just now, heading for the cove.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Right, let's away.- But Mr Ross did say we should stay indoors.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12He did. He also said I'm the mother of two small children

0:39:12 > 0:39:14and should start behaving like one!

0:39:14 > 0:39:17So Ena Daniel's upstairs with Clowance and Jeremy

0:39:17 > 0:39:18and we're away to the meetinghouse.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28There she is!

0:39:35 > 0:39:37- It's there! I can see!- Fall back!

0:39:37 > 0:39:39FAINT CHATTER

0:39:42 > 0:39:44All's well.

0:39:49 > 0:39:53# The meek and lowly heart

0:39:53 > 0:39:57# That in our Saviour was

0:39:57 > 0:40:03# To us that spirit doth impart... #

0:40:03 > 0:40:04WAVES CRASH

0:40:06 > 0:40:08FAINT CHATTER

0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Are we close?- Surely, Captain Ross.

0:40:12 > 0:40:13Then let's get gone.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Make haste! Be gone!

0:40:27 > 0:40:31# How can we sinners know

0:40:31 > 0:40:36# Our sins on earth forgiven?

0:40:36 > 0:40:41# How can my gracious Saviour show

0:40:41 > 0:40:45# My name inscribed in heaven... #

0:40:49 > 0:40:51We're not far now.

0:41:06 > 0:41:16# We all his unknown peace receive and feel his blood applied. #

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Right, put out the candles and wait in silence.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30If any be watching, let's hope we've thrown them off the scent.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Yah! Come on!

0:41:37 > 0:41:38Come on!

0:41:47 > 0:41:49DOOR OPENS

0:41:54 > 0:41:56- They're comin'. - No-one the wiser?

0:41:56 > 0:41:58So far, so good.

0:41:58 > 0:41:59You're certain it was he?

0:41:59 > 0:42:03He's most certain the ringleader - there's no mistakin' the goods.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08My suspicion, I knows where they be heading.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Did I not bid you stay at home?

0:42:20 > 0:42:24Yes, Ross, as oft I bid you and see how well you hear me!

0:42:24 > 0:42:26We've been actin' as decoys.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28And singing hymns at the top of our voices.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31What'll ye do?

0:42:33 > 0:42:34Get a good night's sleep...

0:42:36 > 0:42:38..and awaken refreshed.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41As resident magistrate, I must have my wits about me

0:42:41 > 0:42:43when I send them all to Botany Bay.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04So the gaugers and the military be on their way to the meetinghouse.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Do ye wish to be there at the moment of arrest?

0:43:06 > 0:43:09Oh, I think so. Why should I miss all the fun?

0:43:09 > 0:43:12Ah, Morwenna, you received my message?

0:43:12 > 0:43:15I've invited Mr Whitworth so that you may see for yourself

0:43:15 > 0:43:16what an amiable man he is.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31You know what to do.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33But be sure the villagers keep it to theyselves.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Surely, sister, else will all hell break loose.

0:43:35 > 0:43:38'Tisn't fitting the Lord's house being used for such a purpose.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40Get you gone. I'll to Caroline.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49The Reverend Whitworth to see Miss Chynoweth.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03Compliments of the season to you, Miss Chynoweth.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08Come on!

0:44:10 > 0:44:11Come on now.

0:44:13 > 0:44:16Folks do love a spectacle!

0:44:16 > 0:44:20An' no more pleasin' than a fancy gent being led away to jail!

0:44:25 > 0:44:28Had my partner Willie Hick not led the king of spades

0:44:28 > 0:44:32on the second round, I'd scarce have know where to look,

0:44:32 > 0:44:36but thereafter, by drawing trumps, we made 12 tricks between us

0:44:36 > 0:44:39and I myself cleared £18 on the evening!

0:44:39 > 0:44:42HE GIGGLES

0:44:42 > 0:44:43D'you play whist?

0:44:44 > 0:44:46Not at all.

0:44:50 > 0:44:55May I say, Miss Chynoweth, that I detect the hand of God in all this?

0:44:55 > 0:44:58Guiding me to the Warleggan ball, urging me

0:44:58 > 0:45:02to wear the lemon silk so you could not fail to notice me.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04I felt at once that you'd been sent to console me,

0:45:04 > 0:45:08to be a new mother to my two young daughters, to...

0:45:10 > 0:45:12..comfort me as only a wife can.

0:45:13 > 0:45:15And now I know that my sentiments are returned.

0:45:15 > 0:45:18I'm not at all sure they are returned.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20Your hesitancy does you credit.

0:45:20 > 0:45:24All decent women approach matrimony with a degree of shyness.

0:45:24 > 0:45:27But as a man of feeling and a man of God...

0:45:29 > 0:45:31..I assure you, my love will be returned.

0:45:40 > 0:45:42I pray you excuse me, Sir.

0:45:42 > 0:45:44I cannot.

0:45:51 > 0:45:53Did she refuse you?

0:45:53 > 0:45:54Oh, I'm not disheartened.

0:45:54 > 0:45:56Naturally, she'll come around.

0:45:56 > 0:46:00In the meantime, let us proceed with arrangements as planned.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17I regret you have been sent on a fool's errand, Captain.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20- Thank you very much, sir. - No problem.

0:46:20 > 0:46:22Men.

0:46:24 > 0:46:29# And labour on at thy command

0:46:29 > 0:46:33# And offer all my works to thee

0:46:35 > 0:46:40# Give me to bear thy easy yoke

0:46:40 > 0:46:43# And still to things... #

0:46:43 > 0:46:47Good day to thee, sir. See the fruits of your generosity!

0:46:47 > 0:46:49Have you come to make further donation?

0:46:51 > 0:46:52- Donation?- Yes, sir,

0:46:52 > 0:46:54see what your kind contribution has purchased.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57Grain. A whole shipful!

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Now bein' sold at half the market price

0:46:59 > 0:47:00to those most needy in the district.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03Shall I put you down for 70 guineas next time?

0:47:03 > 0:47:04There will be no next time.

0:47:04 > 0:47:08It is not my custom to contribute to the welfare of wastrels

0:47:08 > 0:47:10who are too idle to earn their own bread.

0:47:10 > 0:47:14In which case, may I ask what your business is here?

0:47:14 > 0:47:19For lest you're unaware, this is Nampara land.

0:47:19 > 0:47:21And it appears you're trespassing.

0:47:21 > 0:47:25As a magistrate, no doubt you're aware of the penalty for such a crime?

0:47:25 > 0:47:27I advise you remove yourselves

0:47:27 > 0:47:31or I'll call back the soldiers you sent and have you both arrested.

0:47:44 > 0:47:46Bye.

0:47:49 > 0:47:53It was deliberate! An elaborate subterfuge, designed to trick me.

0:47:53 > 0:47:56Or possibly with a view to preserving calm and averting a riot?

0:47:56 > 0:47:59It was done so that I would believe he was breaking the law

0:47:59 > 0:48:02and would look a fool when I attempted to bring him to heel!

0:48:02 > 0:48:04Well, he's overplayed his hand this time.

0:48:37 > 0:48:38How is Williams?

0:48:40 > 0:48:43- He's improving. - I'll sit with him a while.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48No, I must keep him under observation as I promised.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51Did I not vow to learn some of your skills?

0:48:52 > 0:48:54If only to give you one hour's rest in 20?

0:48:54 > 0:48:56I can manage.

0:48:56 > 0:48:57You saved my life.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02We need you alive so you can save others.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04With no fresh water?

0:49:05 > 0:49:07No medicine, no pain relief?

0:49:07 > 0:49:09MEN SPEAK IN FRENCH

0:49:16 > 0:49:17They're taking bets.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20On what?

0:49:22 > 0:49:24Which prisoner will be next to die.

0:49:40 > 0:49:41Can I have a word?

0:49:46 > 0:49:48George Warleggan's to close Wheal Leisure.

0:49:50 > 0:49:51With immediate effect.

0:49:51 > 0:49:53But why?

0:49:53 > 0:49:57It'd mean the loss of more than 70 jobs.

0:49:57 > 0:50:00And more hardship for 70 families already struggling.

0:50:00 > 0:50:03- But the mine's still in profit. Why would he close her now? - Because he can.

0:50:03 > 0:50:06Because the profits are small and keeping her open

0:50:06 > 0:50:09puts her in competition with other Warleggan mines.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12Because she belonged to Ross and closin' her will hurt 'im.

0:50:14 > 0:50:19So, to spite Ross, George would send 70 families into direst poverty?

0:50:20 > 0:50:22'Tis about the size of it.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35I'm to be sent back to Trenwith?

0:50:35 > 0:50:37Along with Geoffrey Charles.

0:50:37 > 0:50:39Now pack your things at once.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43SHE SOBS

0:50:47 > 0:50:49Of course she weeps.

0:50:49 > 0:50:51To be forced to return to the tedium of Trenwith

0:50:51 > 0:50:53after the happy bustle of Truro?

0:50:54 > 0:50:56She'll soon see the error of her ways

0:50:56 > 0:50:59and be begging us to name a date for her wedding.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03SHE GIGGLES

0:51:07 > 0:51:10I'd say we did what we set out to do.

0:51:10 > 0:51:13Five villages will now survive the winter.

0:51:13 > 0:51:16Yes. But at a price we hadn't counted on.

0:51:18 > 0:51:19The closing of Wheal Leisure

0:51:19 > 0:51:21can only have been triggered by our grain venture.

0:51:23 > 0:51:26So we've helped some and ruined others.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28Seventy families.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33What can we do for them?

0:51:33 > 0:51:34Ross, Demelza.

0:51:36 > 0:51:38I came to tell you that I'm leaving for London.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40- Have you had word of Dwight? - From Unwin.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43He assures me that all is well and I've no cause for concern.

0:51:45 > 0:51:46What will you do?

0:51:46 > 0:51:50Go to the Admiralty. See if we can negotiate a ransom.

0:51:50 > 0:51:51I wish you luck.

0:51:55 > 0:51:57We'll bring him home.

0:51:57 > 0:51:58Somehow.

0:52:04 > 0:52:06The Admiralty doesn't deal in ransoms.

0:52:08 > 0:52:10COUGHING

0:52:11 > 0:52:12Bless you, Enys.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17I think you'll live, Williams.

0:52:17 > 0:52:20And those barbarians wagered he'd be next to die.

0:52:21 > 0:52:22Not if I can help it.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28- Ah, ici la sortie.- No, please!

0:52:28 > 0:52:29GUNSHOT

0:52:30 > 0:52:32J'ai gagner le pari!

0:52:32 > 0:52:34HE CACKLES

0:52:40 > 0:52:41Dear God.

0:53:20 > 0:53:21I have an idea.

0:53:25 > 0:53:28It's a delicate balance. We're already over-manned.

0:53:28 > 0:53:32If we take on more men to take out more ore, we flood the market.

0:53:32 > 0:53:33And the price drops.

0:53:33 > 0:53:35The ore runs out more quickly.

0:53:35 > 0:53:38But here and here and here...

0:53:38 > 0:53:41there have been indications of possible new lodes.

0:53:41 > 0:53:43Which may or may not come to anything.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46And which we've so far opted not to explore.

0:53:46 > 0:53:48With an extra 30 men, we could explore.

0:53:48 > 0:53:51Thirty extra men? Each on a wage?

0:53:51 > 0:53:53Which I could pay.

0:53:53 > 0:53:55If I opted to plough my profits back into the mine,

0:53:55 > 0:53:57instead of taking a dividend.

0:53:57 > 0:54:01But now, Ross? With the future so uncertain, a war with France.

0:54:01 > 0:54:03And a wife and two children to support?

0:54:03 > 0:54:05My wife is in agreement with me.

0:54:11 > 0:54:12Good man.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14Thank you, much obliged.

0:54:14 > 0:54:15God bless you, sir.

0:54:19 > 0:54:20Well done.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26- # I will sing Twelve O - What is your Twelve O?

0:54:26 > 0:54:28# Twelve are the Twelve Apostles

0:54:28 > 0:54:30# Eleven are the eleven will go to Heaven

0:54:30 > 0:54:32# Ten are the Ten Commandments

0:54:32 > 0:54:34# Nine is a moon shine bright and clear... #

0:54:35 > 0:54:39- Need a hand, do ye, sirs? - Drake, we're back!

0:54:41 > 0:54:42Miss Morwenna.

0:54:51 > 0:54:54I think we should let Mr Carne continue on his way.

0:54:54 > 0:54:55Go.

0:54:57 > 0:55:01Bye, Drake. Come and visit us soon.

0:55:04 > 0:55:07- Thanks for thy help, brother. - They're back.

0:55:21 > 0:55:23And how long will Morwenna require?

0:55:23 > 0:55:25A few weeks at least.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29I must confess, I'm not overly enamoured of him.

0:55:29 > 0:55:32There's something about him that makes my skin crawl.

0:55:32 > 0:55:36The man is a reptile and a prig. He is also a Godolphin.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38Morwenna does not realise how lucky she is.

0:55:40 > 0:55:41But she will realise.

0:55:44 > 0:55:49Gold brocade and breeches close-fitting,

0:55:49 > 0:55:55to inspire in a bride both awe and anticipation.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58HE GRUNTS IN PAIN

0:55:59 > 0:56:05I liked Morwenna, she seemed gentle and kindly.

0:56:05 > 0:56:07This return, though, I fear it.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09She an' Drake cannot come to good.

0:56:09 > 0:56:12George will be livid. That's good enough for me!

0:56:12 > 0:56:17But a low-born miner's son aspiring to the heart of his wife's cousin?

0:56:17 > 0:56:18Why should he object?

0:56:18 > 0:56:23When a lowly mine owner can aspire to the hand of a great lady?

0:56:23 > 0:56:27That's different! I hope Morwenna knows it's different,

0:56:27 > 0:56:29an' takes care to stay out of Drake's way.

0:57:11 > 0:57:13The prison at Quimper...

0:57:13 > 0:57:14Where Dr Enys be interned?

0:57:14 > 0:57:16'Tis like a hell-hole now.

0:57:16 > 0:57:18- Would there was aught we could do to help him.- And if there was?

0:57:18 > 0:57:21Make your way to the prison, free Dwight an' bring him home!

0:57:21 > 0:57:23What could be simpler?

0:57:23 > 0:57:28A prison break on French soil with respectable men

0:57:28 > 0:57:30who are surely being led to their deaths.

0:57:30 > 0:57:33Load your weapons. We make a stand.

0:57:33 > 0:57:35Drake!
