0:00:01 > 0:00:03Say good day to your daughter.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Miss Clowance Poldark.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08It's the most precious gift I've ever received.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Finally, a deal!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Now all that remains is for you to inform the bride.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Marry...Mr Whitworth?
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Mm!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17- What is his name? - Armitage, Sir. Lieutenant Armitage.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- You saved my life. - Oh, Ross! He's alive!
0:00:19 > 0:00:20For what that's worth.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22If you knew what conditions were like in France
0:00:22 > 0:00:24for enemies of the republic...
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- Will he not get special privileges? - Let's hope so.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30They're taking bets. On which prisoner will be next to die.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So the plan is, the Royalist fleet will land in France,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28overthrow the republic and free its prisoners.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31So Caroline believes. BABY COOS
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Should we not give that plan a chance?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41I want Dwight home, too.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44I just want you here a little longer.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I promised him something I cannot fulfil.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17To see this ring reaches his wife.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I wonder you're not married, Enys.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Are you so devoted to your work?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29In truth, there is someone.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I doubt I'll ever see her again. And you?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I'm a Boscawen...
0:02:35 > 0:02:39so I'm expected to make a splendid match!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Some rich and beautiful heiress?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I've a fancy to choose my own bride.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- So plans are being finalised. - What do you intend?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57To lead an army of those loyal to the monarchy,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59to sail to France and overthrow the revolution.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03The landing will scarcely be 20 miles from the prison at Quimper.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Where Dwight is?- To think I wasted my time pressing the Admiralty
0:03:06 > 0:03:07to release Dwight,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10when this landing will enable all prisoners to be released.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I admire Caroline's optimism.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17But?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20War is never simple.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Nor human nature.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26You've been to war. What is it that drives men to act like savages?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28A refusal to see their fellow men as human.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32To view them instead as a symbol of something they hate.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38There are no depths to the atrocities which may be committed.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41You fear for Dwight.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44This landing could provoke a slaughter of prisoners.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47It might be weeks before the Royalists reach Quimper.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Dwight may not last that long.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- BABY CRIES - My son has rickets?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Dr Choake believes...
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Dr Choake is mistook!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07My son is not some commoner's child, nursed on gin and housed in squalor!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09He's had the best of everything.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12No-one must hear of this. My son will not be deformed!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15George! Do not say that!
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Dr Choake believes he can be cured.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32There's to be a gathering at Tregothnan.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Lord Falmouth's?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36The St Aubyns and Godolphins will be there.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Our invitation is conspicuous by its absence.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Are you so keen to go? These events are often so dull.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Presence at these events is what confirms one's status in society.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50If the Godolphins are going, Lady Whitworth will be there.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53She could procure you an invitation. Could you not speak to Osborne?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I could if I had positive news for him.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57But while Morwenna continues to prevaricate,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I can hardly beg favours of his mother.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I would have thought, after all these weeks at Trenwith,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04the girl would be out of her mind with boredom by now.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06'LAUGHTER'
0:05:35 > 0:05:36There you go.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I have news from Mr Trencrom.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42His ship, The One & All,
0:05:42 > 0:05:46on its last run, did bring ashore a Dutch merchant
0:05:46 > 0:05:48lately released from the prison at Quimper.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Where Dr Enys be interned?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53This merchant say 'tis like a hell-hole now.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Men droppin' like flies of fever, starvation.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And those as remain being executed for sport.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03He do fear there'll be none left alive within three week.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05'Tis a sorry end for our friend and brother.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Would there was aught we could do to help him.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11And if there was?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19THEY SPEAK FRENCH
0:06:19 > 0:06:21TRANSLATION:
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Wait! This man has a fever!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28La chance, monsieur!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32GUNFIRE
0:06:34 > 0:06:37What happened?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40A new entertainment has begun.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Dicing for officers.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Executions on a whim. Today, on the colour of a man's eyes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Tomorrow?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Who knows?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Geoffrey Charles' friend was here again.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Oh! Yes, he called to bring some toads.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09He's very fond of Geoffrey Charles.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14And of you, too, or so I observed this afternoon.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Love makes us careless, does it not?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22What do you imagine George would do if he found out?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Oh, yes, I am usually the first to defy him,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28but that's because I have little to lose.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Do you?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I cannot marry Mr Whitworth!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35You cannot marry Drake Carne.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39George is a cruel man.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41His axe would fall not on you,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43who are cousin to his wife,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46but on the boy, who is kin to Ross.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Give him up, my dear.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56For his sake as much as your own.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Even if the landing's successful,
0:08:03 > 0:08:07the Royalist army will have its hands full fighting the republic.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Freeing English prisoners will not be a priority.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14So I'm thinking there needs to be a more direct attempt.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Involving Tholly?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17And Zacky and Henshawe.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Respectable family men? - As I've told them repeatedly,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23but Dwight is held in high esteem,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25they both leapt at the chance to serve him.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- So what will you do? - Take passage with the fleet.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30But as soon as we land in Brittany,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33leave the Royalists to their fight, then...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35under cover of the uprising...
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Make your way to the prison, free Dwight and bring him home.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41What could be simpler?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Ross Poldark? A contender for parliament?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50According to my mother, who has it from the Boscawens.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52How can he even presume?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I'm not sure he does. He's merely been mentioned, not yet approached.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Nor should he be!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Is such a man to represent us?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Well, he certainly won't be receiving my vote.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22So you see, aunt, my visits here must cease awhile.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27All in good cause, boy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I trust you'll bring young Enys safely home.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34And fetch him to my party.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Which?- My 100th birthday!
0:09:39 > 0:09:40You're all invited -
0:09:40 > 0:09:43your chibbies, your little bud
0:09:43 > 0:09:45and even her brother.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48You've met him?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Oh, yes.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07'Ee seem troubled. What ails 'ee?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08My conscience.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Which tells me I've done a wicked thing.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16There be nothing wicked in our care for each other.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18The wicked thing...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20is that I've allowed your visits...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23..when I'm not free to do so.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27How not free?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Our friendship...
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Has gone beyond the bounds of common acquaintance.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37But is it wrong to go so far...
0:10:39 > 0:10:40..if what we feel is true?
0:10:47 > 0:10:48I see now it is not true.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I was flattered by your attentions into thinking I felt love.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58But I do not.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- I don't believe you. - Hope you can forgive my mistake.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08I've left word with Grace that they will answer to you till I return.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10They will expect you daily.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Perhaps I'll venture below and take a pick o' my own!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15No doubt you'll find a new lode!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I've been thinkin'.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I'll not tell Caroline where you've gone
0:12:19 > 0:12:21for fear of raisin' false hopes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23And have Drake stay away from Trenwith.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Why would he go there?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Ask him.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30I must go.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I do not ask you not to be reckless,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40for I know you cannot promise something which is so against your nature.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06She don't care for me. She never did.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I've no wish to go on in this world.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16I once thought as you do.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22When I lost Julia, all I wanted was to bury myself beside her.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29But life is precious and should not be scorned.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The thing is to find some purpose,
0:13:33 > 0:13:34to go on living.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38And if Ross were here he'd say the same.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Where is he?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47'Tis not to be spoken of.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52He's gone to Falmouth, thence to France
0:13:52 > 0:13:54to rescue our friend Dr Enys.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Will you not stay to supper?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Thank 'ee, sister.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13I'll heed what 'ee say, about purpose.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17And try and find me some.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47HE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Problem?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Aside from the fact that they've thrice delayed departure
0:15:00 > 0:15:02and seem unable to agree on the simplest matter?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05There's the thing - almost all the Royalist troops travellin'
0:15:05 > 0:15:07from England be French prisoners.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11They'll be given a choice -
0:15:11 > 0:15:14bide here in prison or fight for the Royalists against the republic.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15How's that a problem?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You're a French prisoner, returned to home shores.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Do you fight against your own people? Or do you desert?
0:15:22 > 0:15:23This landing will fail.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Then how do we save Dr Enys?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Say nothing to the French.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33I'll return in an hour.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Ross is called away to Looe on business at the boat-yard.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51And the Royalists will shortly sail from Falmouth.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I wish I were going with them!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57But how shall we distract ourselves meanwhile?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I know! You could accompany me to Tregothnan.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Lord Falmouth's gathering the cream of Cornish aristocracy.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05I'm no aristocrat!
0:16:05 > 0:16:09You have nobler blood than many who'll be vying to attend!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Come, say you'll keep me company.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21ARGUING IN FRENCH
0:16:25 > 0:16:26We're leaving.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I never been to Roscoff. Only once been on the One & All!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Mr Trencrom said he was the first respectable man he'd had aboard!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02We'll soon lead him astray!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I need no leading! I've tricks o' my own up my sleeve!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07What happens when we get to Roscoff?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Trencrom's men go about their usual business.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13And we acquire a smaller vessel.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Then take the river inland,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18to a creek close to the prison at Quimper.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Plans have changed.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Ross and the men be on their own now.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Judas!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46THUDDING
0:17:46 > 0:17:49SHOUTING
0:17:52 > 0:17:53DOOR SLAMS
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Have 'ee seen Drake?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Yesterday.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Wracked with grief, over the girl.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Left 'ee this note.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19"Dear Sister..."
0:18:20 > 0:18:23LOW CONVERSATION
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The captain beg to report a stowaway.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Is that my concern?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35He say so, on account of the stowaway insist on joinin' us.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47"Do not blame Cap'n Ross for this.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51"You tell'd me to find some purpose to help me forget Morwenna
0:18:51 > 0:18:54"and this may do good to someone if not to I."
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I know 'ee thought me harsh, but I did fear this love would break him.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00And so it has.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Is this God's will, too?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I know what 'ee be thinkin'. But let me prove myself.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- I'm fearless. - That's no recommendation!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- And steadfast and fierce. - Like his sister?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I say give him a chance.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Never know when an extra man might come in handy.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29You will obey my every command. Without question.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Yes, sir!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Well done.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Drake told me you broke with him.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Doubtless he'll soon forget me.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06He might.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09If we see him again.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17It was not without difficulty that my mother secured your invitation.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19I'm obliged to her.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22She did so on the understanding that you
0:20:22 > 0:20:25and she would shortly be connected.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Through my marriage to Miss Chynoweth.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35She feels if we do not hear from the lady soon, we must look elsewhere.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Morwenna is a respectable girl who will not be hurried.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Nevertheless, I'm certain you will receive a favourable answer
0:20:48 > 0:20:49within the month.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I'd never have broken with him had I known what he'd do.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55'Tis for the best.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57The gulf between your stations is...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Is great.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03But greater still the rift between our houses.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06So I should marry a man I do not love?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Will you find a way to let me know when Drake returns?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27IF...he returns.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Do we not go ashore? - Roscoff's not for the faint-hearted.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49But what do Cap'n Ross intend?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51For you to grab your belongings and follow him.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54We have a boat.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Your cousin has delayed long enough.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I require an immediate answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Summon her from Trenwith.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27No. I have a better idea.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45They've returned. Unannounced! What does it mean?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Nothing good for you, I fear.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Here is the best landing point close to Quimper.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Put in there, wait for cover of darkness,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04then make for the prison.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14You're quite certain of this?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Heard tell of it in Sawle kiddley.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20'Ee do know I have ways of keepin' my ear to the ground.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- GEORGE CHUCKLES - You may go.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27That really is excellent.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30A prison break on French soil
0:23:30 > 0:23:33with respectable men who are surely being led to their deaths?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35He's played right into our hands!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37But how could this affect us?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40By affecting Ross' standing amongst the local worthies.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43You must see, my dear? How can such a reckless fool represent
0:23:43 > 0:23:45the district in parliament?
0:23:45 > 0:23:50It is a question I feel duty-bound to ask tonight at Tregothnan.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53HE CHUCKLES
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Tom Harry's got wind of it.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Judas! Then half the county'll know!
0:24:23 > 0:24:27'Tis unlike to endanger the mission since the news cannot reach France.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30So there's some consolation.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Precious little.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Ross wished it to remain secret till he returned.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38How can I keep it from Caroline?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43A fever? I must say you look none the worse for it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I think I must keep indoors tonight.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I was hoping you'd bide with me.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52My dear, I'm beginning to look like a recluse.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I must put in an appearance, with or without my escort!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Do you not like it? - It's so extravagant.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- And?- Might it not seem in tonight's company
0:25:20 > 0:25:22that we're trying too hard to impress?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Quite right, my dear.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31No need for distractions.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Our mission is plain.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36To thoroughly discredit Ross Poldark
0:25:36 > 0:25:39and position me as a candidate in his stead.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Must I really go?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Did we not agree, my dear? No more ingratitude.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03As sharp as you can. Everyone ashore, take cover in the woods.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Mr and Mrs Warleggan and Miss Chynoweth.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33There's Lord Falmouth.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Now who here might effect an introduction?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Miss Penvenen And Mistress Poldark.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Extraordinary!
0:26:46 > 0:26:50I'm forced to ingratiate myself with that idiot Whitworth
0:26:50 > 0:26:53whilst the scullery maid strolls in on the arm of an heiress!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Look at them! Struttin' an' swaggerin',
0:26:58 > 0:27:01as if there be no war, men riskin' their lives.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Pay them no heed, my dear.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Our task is to see what news, if any,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06we may glean of the French landing!
0:27:10 > 0:27:13This is the ground plan.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16There's a series of buildings, set in extensive grounds.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Here is a sentry gate,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22through which we must pass before coming into the main prison.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25The guards are changed at midnight.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28We go in at one and hope to catch them napping.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32What is it?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36When I first mooted this venture,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I imagined we'd be part of the Royalist landing,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42taking advantage of the chaos to break into the prison.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Now we've come on ahead,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46we're that much more exposed.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Since this is not what you enlisted for,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I feel you should be given the choice to remain here.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Tholly and I will make for the prison.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Nay, Ross. Speaking for myself, my mind's set.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07We're here for Dr Enys and we'll not go home without him.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09'Tis what we all signed up for.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Can I ask men to take such a risk?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Yet how much have I risked across the years, alongside you,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19knowin' I might lose all, riskin' it anyway.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Mining's a risk.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Loving's a risk.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Living's a risk.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28So tonight?
0:28:31 > 0:28:32I'll take my chance.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36BELL TOLLS
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Is it time?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Bone? Ellery? Go back and guard the boat.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43The rest of you, certain?
0:28:43 > 0:28:44No fool like an old fool!
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Or a young one?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Keep low and follow me.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57He has been in numerous skirmishes,
0:28:57 > 0:29:02he is the most able navigator. Ned Pellew thinks the world of him.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Of course the boy knows what's expected of him -
0:29:04 > 0:29:06he's a Boscawen, after all!
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Though little good it's done him. Will you excuse me?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48How many guards, do we think?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51In addition to those at the gate? Six inside the building?
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Another six off-duty? Who knows?
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Tell 'em no more, young Cap'n,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56lest they lose their appetite for the task!
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- That won't happen. - How do we get past the guards?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Tholly, tie my hands.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21KNOCKING
0:30:22 > 0:30:27J'ai un prisonnier echape, au nom de la Republique - ouvrez la porte!
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Depchez-vous!
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Il fait froid!
0:30:37 > 0:30:38T'es qui toi?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49HE WHISTLES
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Shush. Keep quiet!
0:31:33 > 0:31:37The prisoners will be sleeping. Let's endeavour to pass through unnoticed.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39At all costs, give no impression we're here to free prisoners.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Aye, the last thing we need is a mad stampede to escape.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Follow me.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15What's going on? Who are you?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Newly arrived here.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19We have a message for Dr Enys.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Do you know where he is?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- The Infirmary. Enys never leaves it. - Thank you, friend.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36There's no room in here.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38We're looking for Dr Enys.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41Who are you?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Captain Ross Poldark. You?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Lieutenant Armitage of the Espion.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Sir, I think these men have no business here.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49No business with you.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52We seek Dr Enys and mean only his good.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55You have my word as an officer.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Sir, these man are armed!
0:32:57 > 0:32:59And I'll slit yer throat if ye don't pipe down!
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Have you broken in? To take Enys?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Not a word.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Come with me.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44What is it? Do you want me?
0:33:47 > 0:33:48Yes, Dwight.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52We want you.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Ross?
0:33:59 > 0:34:00My friend.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Make haste and come with us.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Come?
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Where?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- CHUCKLES:- How?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20What do you mean?
0:34:20 > 0:34:24I mean that your friends have risked life and limb to free you.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35You must see that's impossible.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38I cannot abandon these men.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41There are only four surgeons in the entire camp.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44So we should go home without you?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Enys, you have more than discharged your duty.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Don't be a fool, Enys.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57We'd all escape if we had the chance.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Escape? - SHOUTS:- Escape!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Damn the young fool, he'll wake half of France!
0:35:02 > 0:35:04We can't go back that way.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Is there another way out?- That way.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23BELL RINGS
0:35:23 > 0:35:26That's the alarm bell. All the guards will be summoned.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- Which is the way out? - There, that door.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32The guards! They'll be waiting for us!
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- We can't go back through the church. - Then we're trapped.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38DISTANT SHOUTING IN FRENCH
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Have you heard the rumours?
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Which?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Ross Poldark's latest folly?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52His reckless assault on a French prison?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Surely not?- Let's take some refreshment.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58The absolute futility of such an act!
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- What does it say of the man who would attempt it?- What, indeed?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06And did I hear he's being considered for some high office?
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Dear God, is that the kind of madman we want representing us
0:36:10 > 0:36:11in parliament?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Load your weapons. We'll make a stand.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32My apologies, Dwight.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35This is a poor sort of rescue!
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Cap'n Ross, I believe there be a better way.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Stay here.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Escape! Escape!
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Let's be gone. Quickly.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Would you prefer Oxford or Bath?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- For what, sir?- Our honeymoon?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26I prefer not to speak of such a thing.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28All the more to tease me?
0:37:30 > 0:37:31I pray you, do not imagine...
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Oh, but I do, my dear. All the time.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47SHOUTING
0:37:50 > 0:37:54It's locked. Over?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- He'll never make it.- What do we do?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00I told you I'd have something up my sleeve!
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Stand back, lads.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Leave it to the expert! - Zacky, Tholly, take Dwight!
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Nearly there!
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Stand back, lads!
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Take cover!
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Get up! Let's go.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Drake, come with me.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Look out, Ross!
0:38:42 > 0:38:43- Watch out, Ross.- Take mine!
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Hensh. Follow me!
0:38:56 > 0:38:57He's hit!
0:39:09 > 0:39:11We need a place to hide him.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Dwight, Henshawe's hit.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Can you hear me, Hensh?
0:39:18 > 0:39:22HENSHAWE WHEEZES
0:39:22 > 0:39:23What can be done for him?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Nothing.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- Try.- If there was aught to be done, do you think I'd spare myself?
0:39:40 > 0:39:44I told him not to come. But he wouldn't listen.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48We're too old for this, Hensh.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52What do we say?
0:39:52 > 0:39:53No fool like an old fool?
0:39:54 > 0:39:57We'll be dead fools if we don't get a gallop on!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Do 'ee think them Frenchies be firin' for fun?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- Help me carry him. - We'll never make it.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- Then I'll stay with him. - Nay, I will.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05He was my captain and friend.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Let me stay! I don't care what become of me.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09There's no need to stay.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12He's dead.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15He's dead.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Come away, Ross.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Ross.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Excuse me. I promised Lord Flamouth the allemande.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Do you not dance, ma'am?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Does your husband disapprove of the sport?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Not in the least.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12How could he, when his own pursuits are so much more hazardous?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Is it not galling to be married to such a hothead?
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Bad enough in a 20-year-old, but in a supposedly
0:41:20 > 0:41:24respectable mine-owner, in his 30s, with a wife and children?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27It's positively infantile.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Do you think he'll ever grow up?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31I don't know, George.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32Will you?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Everyone down. Someone's coming.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Armitage!
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Thank God it's you! I thought you were the guards. Are you alone?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19A dozen or so others escaped but we all separated.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23They are headed for the coast. I abandoned my posting.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25The thought of freedom was too much for me.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26It was too much for us all.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28There's talk of a Royalist landing.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Republican troops are mobilising.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33If we're caught now, there'll be no escape.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34And no mercy.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35GUNFIRE IN DISTANCE Up!
0:43:14 > 0:43:16The power of an ancient family name!
0:43:16 > 0:43:19Chynoweths stroll in where Warleggans fear to tread.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Did you manage to advance our cause?
0:43:21 > 0:43:22How?
0:43:22 > 0:43:25By the subtle disparaging of Ross.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27I observed no such subtlety from you.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Did you speak of his adventures in France?
0:43:29 > 0:43:33I might have done had Lord Falmouth not mentioned his nephew is
0:43:33 > 0:43:35a prisoner of war.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38I felt it would be tactless to refer to French prisons at all,
0:43:38 > 0:43:41let alone Ross' intention to storm one!
0:43:41 > 0:43:42So our mission has failed.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45We're leaving.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Morwenna?
0:43:51 > 0:43:52- Excuse me.- Of course.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59- The Royalist landing has failed. - What?
0:43:59 > 0:44:01De Sombreuil and the leaders are captured.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03My dear, what hope is there for Dwight now?
0:44:19 > 0:44:22Drake's hurt. Help me get him aboard.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25Here is Dr Enys. Help me get him on.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27Careful.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Set the oars, set the oars.
0:45:05 > 0:45:06Poor Caroline!
0:45:08 > 0:45:12I took her home and put her to bed, but I doubt she'll sleep.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16Thank God Ross wasn't part of the landing.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19- Will 'ee tell Caroline? - To what purpose?
0:45:19 > 0:45:21We don't know where Ross is.
0:45:21 > 0:45:26If he even reached the prison or found Dwight alive.
0:45:26 > 0:45:27Let alone 'scaped again.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42You've been at it hours, Ross. Take a rest.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46It won't bring him back.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Allow me. We're not out of danger yet.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52No let-up! We must get to Roscoff before dark.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55The One & All sails on the evening tide.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- Never do it!- We must! Or we'll be trapped in Roscoff for a fortnight!
0:45:58 > 0:46:01Drake won't last a fortnight. He won't last a day.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02Nor will you!
0:46:04 > 0:46:05His fever's worsening.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09Unless I can clean the wound soon, it's likely to become infected.
0:46:09 > 0:46:10And then he's done for.
0:46:33 > 0:46:34Ross! Ross!
0:46:39 > 0:46:43You let him die. You let him die!
0:46:43 > 0:46:49You're a disgrace! Selfish, vain glorious, reckless.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51One can only agree.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55You are the most despicable of men.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Ross! Ross!
0:46:59 > 0:47:03She's still there! She's still there!
0:47:05 > 0:47:07At anchor, waitin' for us!
0:47:07 > 0:47:10If we make haste, we'll catch her before she sail. Come on.
0:47:12 > 0:47:17Heave. Heave. Heave.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56I have a confession to make.
0:48:02 > 0:48:03When we left Henshawe...
0:48:06 > 0:48:07..he was not dead.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12He was dying. He could not live an hour.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17But in that hour I knew that unless I lied,
0:48:17 > 0:48:19you would willingly die alongside him.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21That I could not permit.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29What of Drake?
0:48:29 > 0:48:32I think you will have one less life on your conscience.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Ross, I haven't yet thanked you.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40When you first appeared,
0:48:40 > 0:48:42I thought you were a figment of my imagination.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Hardly surprising.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49I must have been the last person you expected to see.
0:48:49 > 0:48:53In truth, I expected to die where I stood,
0:48:53 > 0:48:56surrounded by men I was unable to save.
0:48:56 > 0:48:57Now?
0:49:01 > 0:49:06Already I see that I must keep myself occupied or
0:49:06 > 0:49:10I shall begin to ask the impossible question.
0:49:12 > 0:49:13Which?
0:49:16 > 0:49:17Why am I here and they're not?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41The cove! Nampara cove!
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Ross.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11See, brother? My prayers did work!
0:50:11 > 0:50:14Judas! What happened?
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Nothing, sister. 'Tis a scratch.
0:50:17 > 0:50:18He'll need rest and warm.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20We'll bring him up to the house.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23Dwight! Oh, Dwight, they brought you home!
0:50:31 > 0:50:32And Zacky!
0:50:32 > 0:50:35To see 'ee safe and well, I never dared hope.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37We're more'n grateful to be here!
0:50:38 > 0:50:40I don' know this gentleman.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Lieutenant Hugh Armitage at your service, ma'am.
0:50:43 > 0:50:44Captain Poldark is my saviour too.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47But this means it was a success.
0:50:47 > 0:50:48You all returned home.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54No. Not all.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Cap'n Henshawe?
0:51:48 > 0:51:51Prudie! Make ready two beds.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53One for Drake, one for Dr Enys.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55'Tis done a'ready, maid. Ole Prudie'll see 'em right!
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Bring 'em in, bring 'em in.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06Beggin' your pardon, sir, I thought 'ee'd wish to know.
0:52:06 > 0:52:11The One & All returned from France.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13And Ross Poldark with her.
0:52:15 > 0:52:19- Dr Enys was saved.- As expected.
0:52:19 > 0:52:20Any casualties?
0:52:20 > 0:52:23One wounded. One dead.
0:52:23 > 0:52:24Cap'n Henshawe from the mine.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28Then the mission can hardly be deemed a success.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30To liberate one man at the expense of another?
0:52:30 > 0:52:34'Twas reckon'd a success, for up to 20 men also 'scaped.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38One of 'em a person of great importance. A...
0:52:38 > 0:52:39Lieutenant Armitage?
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Lieutenant Hugh Armitage?
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Yes, ma'am, I think that was the name.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48You may go.
0:52:51 > 0:52:52You know Lieutenant Armitage?
0:52:54 > 0:52:55Only by name.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00He's the nephew of Lord Falmouth.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Scurvy has not enhanced my looks.
0:53:14 > 0:53:20I must beg a week of Demelza's care before I let Caroline know I'm here.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22I think it may be too late for that!
0:53:22 > 0:53:25KNOCKING
0:53:26 > 0:53:27This way, please.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Do you feel strong enough for a small surprise?
0:53:46 > 0:53:47Dr Enys.
0:53:50 > 0:53:51Do I detect scorbutus?
0:53:53 > 0:53:55I... I'm afraid so.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00Well, then I prescribe fresh air, oranges...
0:54:00 > 0:54:02and kisses without end.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21A sleep'll do him powerful good.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27Still think he's a pest?
0:54:28 > 0:54:29Yes.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34But a brave and fearless pest who may have saved my life!
0:54:36 > 0:54:37He has something of your spirit.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I suppose I must learn to love him too!
0:54:57 > 0:55:04# Greater love hath no man
0:55:04 > 0:55:11# Than he who for his friend lay down his life
0:55:12 > 0:55:21# And his name shall be forever beloved
0:55:21 > 0:55:32# And his sacrifice forever praised
0:55:32 > 0:55:38# Though we may no longer behold him
0:55:38 > 0:55:46# In our hearts he liveth on
0:55:46 > 0:55:53# And the light may grow dark
0:55:53 > 0:56:04# Yet time will hold a flame forever more. #
0:56:25 > 0:56:27I should never have let him come.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31- I should have foreseen the consequences.- How could you?
0:56:31 > 0:56:34How can we ever foresee what will come of our actions?
0:56:35 > 0:56:36I agree.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41How could I foresee that a month ago today I'd be a free man?
0:56:43 > 0:56:46How could your husband foresee that in freeing his friend,
0:56:46 > 0:56:48he'd liberate a man he'd never met?
0:56:51 > 0:56:55Well, I hope that whatever consequence come of this liberty,
0:56:55 > 0:56:57you'll take full advantage of it.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00Oh, believe me, ma'am, I intend to.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22He was here? Under my very nose.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24Prepare yourself to meet Mr Whitworth.
0:57:24 > 0:57:25Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28Why do you suppose this has anything to do with the heart?
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Dwight. What's happened to my husband?
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Did I mention I've had good news from Harrow?
0:57:32 > 0:57:35Geoffrey Charles is to start there next term.
0:57:35 > 0:57:36George has set a trap.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Judas! Then he's walkin' straight into it!
0:57:39 > 0:57:40After 'em!
0:57:41 > 0:57:44If Drake Carne hangs, the people will rise up
0:57:44 > 0:57:47- and I will be powerless to stop them.- Idle threats.
0:57:47 > 0:57:48You sure?
