0:00:02 > 0:00:04- France be a terrible place now. - For I am no friend of revolution,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- to be governed by the mob.- Common folk do need someone on their side.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Would you not use your power wisely?
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I cannot be another man's puppet.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- The voting begins at two. - He won?!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14So, my dear, you're to go to Westminster!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16I should not have told him.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Since the day of her death he's been icy towards me.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- What does he imagine? - That Valentine is not his child.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Then deny it, lie if necessary.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25He has no proof that Valentine is mine.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Do you not love him?
0:00:26 > 0:00:27I must find a way.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Close your eyes and submit.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Of course I've resumed the marital relations! - Then you must cease forthwith.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Should you like me to sit on your lap?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35I'm not sure I...
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Of course you would.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40You went to visit Aunt Agatha's grave? What did you find there?
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Things I needed to attend to.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I wish I could be two people.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- One, your loving wife. - And the other?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Someone new - who could love another just for a day.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34# The old grey duck
0:01:34 > 0:01:36# She stole her nest
0:01:36 > 0:01:39# And laid up in the fields
0:01:40 > 0:01:43# And when the young ones They came forth
0:01:43 > 0:01:47# They had no tails nor beels
0:01:47 > 0:01:50# They had no tails nor... #
0:01:50 > 0:01:52What's that? Out there?
0:01:53 > 0:01:54What?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Be they ours?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06French.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Lord save us!
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Attack. Attack!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The Frenchies are coming! Ring the bells!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17The Frenchies are coming!
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Attack!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21BELLS RING
0:02:21 > 0:02:23The Frenchies are coming! The Frenchies are coming!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25The Frenchies are coming! The Frenchies are coming!
0:02:25 > 0:02:29SHOUTING AND COMMOTION
0:02:29 > 0:02:31BELLS RING
0:02:40 > 0:02:42The Frenchies are coming!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Where they gone?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58They'll be spying out our defences, but...
0:02:58 > 0:02:59they'll be back.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06This threat from the French cannot be ignored.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Cornwall is woefully unprepared for an enemy which is now at our door.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Those men with military experience
0:03:13 > 0:03:15will form and train companies of volunteers
0:03:15 > 0:03:20to quell threat and disorder wherever it appears.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24When the hour comes - and come it will -
0:03:24 > 0:03:25we must not be found wanting.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30MURMUR OF CONVERSATION
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Truro is a key location...
0:03:53 > 0:03:58If she whom I desire would stoop to love me,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I would come hand-in-hand, and, kneeling,
0:04:01 > 0:04:02ask that she kindly receive me...
0:04:04 > 0:04:08..and deign to understand that all I have is hers...
0:04:10 > 0:04:11..forever and a day.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Press but her lips to mine...
0:04:16 > 0:04:18..and never let love decay.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27You should not be here alone.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The French have been sighted,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and there's rumours of invasion.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36No doubt you'll take up the flag and lead the charge against them.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42And become a leader of men?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I happen to agree with Sir Francis.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I've seen what chaos revolution brings,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49and I do not wish that on Cornwall.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I intend to visit Drake, Mama.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54My love, as you know,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I've no objection to your visiting Mr Carne.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59He has a respectable trade
0:04:59 > 0:05:01and you seem fond of him.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03But delay a while -
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Uncle George returns from Westminster today
0:05:05 > 0:05:07and I know he'd wish us to spend some time with him.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45THUNDERCLAP
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Remember what we agreed, my love. Uncle George...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53"Is a kind and generous man who only wishes to be a good father to me."
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Even though what he did to Drake...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Was wrong. And I'm sure he regrets it.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02But if you and he quarrel, it will distress me beyond words.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04For your sake, Mama. I'll be civil.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16The old smithy on the edge of Trenwith land -
0:06:16 > 0:06:17who owns it now?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I believe Ross purchased it for his brother-in-law.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21And very splendid it is!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38You permit him to visit?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Yes, that was my decision.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42What harm can it do?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Morwenna is wed, Geoffrey Charles will soon return to school.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48How is Drake Carne in any way a threat?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52The smithy is adjacent to my land - it's deliberate provocation by Ross.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56My dear, must we forever be imagining
0:06:56 > 0:06:58some Trenwith-Nampara feud?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I doubt Ross wastes a moment thinking of us,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04so I suggest we do likewise.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I trust you've suffered no insolence from him since I left?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I can't remember the last time I saw him.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Come, my dear, you must be weary from your journey.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I am, indeed.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It's good to be home.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39It is not his home!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It's a Poldark house.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43And he is a usurper!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Let him be, Master Geoffrey. He can't touch you here.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47No, he cannot.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Mama says I may visit, and I shall do so every day.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Drake Carne has had the impudence to set up shop on my boundary.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Tonight, you will begin to show him how unwise that was.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02You will find ways of ensuring his residence there
0:08:02 > 0:08:03is of short duration.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Rely on me, sir.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Good boy.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Following my last visit,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm pleased to say Mrs Whitworth continues to improve.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Ah. Yes, indeed. God be praised.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Though I would recommend a further period of abstinence.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Of course!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'm relieved to hear you say so.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59But if I might suggest - some more of that helpful tincture?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01To ensure her rest is undisturbed.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04If Mrs Whitworth has no objection.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07As you wish.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24My dear, why not rest a while before you enjoy my first sermon
0:09:24 > 0:09:27at Sawle Church this afternoon?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28I will bring you your sedative.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31That's kind of you, Ossie.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45MUFFLED GROANS AND LAUGHTER
0:09:55 > 0:09:58SHE BREATHES DEEPLY
0:10:09 > 0:10:12So I'm thinking of moving the family home to London.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Why?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19If the French invade, there's no telling how this house,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22or our bank, or our grain stores might be ransacked.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24We must protect ourselves.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Whilst abandoning our tenants and servants?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Every man for himself.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I suspect Sir Francis might disagree with you.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Present your firelocks!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Order your firelocks!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Couldn't pay me to enlist.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00You're naught but a puppet.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Gentlemen, you have responded to the call to maintain order
0:11:06 > 0:11:07and defend your country.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10You are under my command,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12you will obey my orders.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16If you find this unacceptable,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18now is the moment to depart.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24'Ross Poldark?'
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I must ask you - is he the right man?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31In view of his recklessness, lawlessness,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33previous contempt for authority.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35He IS the authority.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37And what is his remit?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40To quell threat and disorder wherever it appears.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47And can he be trusted to carry out your instructions?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49More to the point, can you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52In your first term at Westminster
0:11:52 > 0:11:56you voted against a bid to increase the legal rights of commoners.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You have challenged all proposals for lowering interest rates
0:11:59 > 0:12:02and opposed a bill for enforcing a fixed price for grain.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04In voting according to my conscience...
0:12:04 > 0:12:06You have ignored our explicit agreement!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Meanwhile, you conspire with other grain merchants
0:12:11 > 0:12:12to keep prices high,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16despite the failed harvest and recent rioting.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31If unrest should again rear its ugly head,
0:12:31 > 0:12:36it is comforting to know that a hero is on hand to save us.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45THUNDERCLAP
0:12:48 > 0:12:49And finally, Lord,
0:12:49 > 0:12:54thank you for granting your humble servant the living of St Sawle.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Further parishes would be most gratefully received. Amen.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Vicar, I have some disquieting news.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06I'm with child.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I waited and waited to be sure there's no mistake.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15There is no mistake.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Dear God!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20What shall we do?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- "We"?- Perhaps I should run away.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Might you?- No, you're right.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26We must face this together.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I came to report, sir.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Spare me the details. Is the matter handled?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Well and truly, sir.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43That's all I need to know.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Drake!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Must've happened in the night.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Judas! Who would do such a thing?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Nay, 'tis not all.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02This day already, four folks sent word
0:14:02 > 0:14:04saying they'll not be needing my services more.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Yet I must carry on.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Your work is good, your price fair, you've made no enemies.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Bet it's George, up to his old tricks again.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Gettin' at Drake to get at you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23George is a Member of Parliament.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27He could hardly risk his reputation by harassing a lowly blacksmith.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32And besides, Elizabeth would never permit such behaviour.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33And you know that for a fact?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I know Elizabeth.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Shall I answer as a friend or a physician?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Which will tell me what I most want to hear?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00There's no kindness in giving false hope.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05So I must surrender?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08My vision and...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12..my heart's desire?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16The latter you never possessed, nor ever could.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23So what do you prescribe, my friend?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Acceptance.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Satisfied, are 'ee?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I could wish my rum was less depleted.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Stand by while high-an'-mighties set their ruffians on the meek?
0:15:48 > 0:15:54If it is George, confrontation and aggression is fruitless.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56He will deny it and we have no proof.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59All we can hope is he will soon become bored
0:15:59 > 0:16:01and find some other innocent to torment!
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Is what we hope? Some other victim?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05So we can say, "Naught to do with we".
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Demelza, this week there were three French ships on the horizon!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I may soon have a real battle to fight.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Spare me this one!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I think, Vicar, I may have found a solution.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42If I were to marry someone else.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45There is a young man - of course, he does not know of my condition.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Perhaps he would utterly spurn me if he did.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Who is this person?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Arthur Solway, from the library.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53And have you been intimate with him?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Oh, Vicar, how could you think so?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Then how can you think he will marry you?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Because he asked me last week.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Ah. And he is quite unaware of...
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Quite unaware.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08And you think if you marry him he never need know?
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Of course he must know.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I'm amazed you would even suggest that I lie!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Obviously, I will not tell him whose child it is.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Might he agree?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I think he could be persuaded.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23With the right inducement.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26£1,000.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Rowella, escort this person from my house and see that he never returns.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35SHE SOBS
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Do you not think, if even the likes of Tholly grow discontented
0:17:51 > 0:17:53and find they must speak out...
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Tholly loves the sound of his own voice.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01If you do not challenge the corrupt and unjust,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04then commoners will rise - and then you'll be powerless to help them.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07What would you have me do?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I'd have you step up.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'd have you be great!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I'd have you declare what you stand for!
0:18:13 > 0:18:17You would have me pontificate and play the hero -
0:18:17 > 0:18:19and make some grand dramatic gesture.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I am not that man, Demelza. I have never been that man.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28And if that's what you seek, I suggest you look elsewhere.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06HORSE WHINNIES
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Mama, may I beg a favour?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04What is it, my sweet?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Will you hear what my friend has to say?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19A petition. From the people of Grambler, Sawle and Mellin.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Will I sell them grain at 30 shillings a bushel?
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Are they mad?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Do they not realise my family has a business to run?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Expenses to cover?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29If the people of Grambler, Sawle and Mellin cannot afford it,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31we will sell it to these who can.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35If the landing happens here,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38we need to evacuate the cottages close to the shore
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and get the tenants out of harm's way.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42If need be...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Ross, you have a visitor.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53"A natural leader".
0:20:53 > 0:20:55What fool told you that?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58"Daring, resourceful, courageous."
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Courage is often confused with having nothing to lose.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03We have much to lose here, if the French descend.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07If they do, I trust we will rise to the occasion.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09That is my hope, too.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Yet, as we both know, sometimes, when occasion beckons,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16the chalice is offered - and declined.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Sometimes the chalice is poisoned.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21One never knows until one tries.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26My second choice of candidate had no such scruples.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30George is a first-rate politician.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I doubt you mean that as a compliment.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Yet the event often proves the worth of the man.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Cometh the hour?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Are you suggesting that this persecution
0:21:48 > 0:21:50is the work of our servants?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I'm sorry to say so, ma'am.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54And I know it must be unbeknown to you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59To me? Are you saying it is known to Mr Warleggan?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I can't say that, ma'am.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05All I do know is, Tom Harry have threatened my customers,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08breek'd my forge and set light to my workshop.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09What is this man doing here?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12He asked to speak to me and...
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Get out of my house.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I meant no offence, ma'am.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20None has been taken.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Now! Before I have you thrown out.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Why was that upstart here?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41To ask me to intervene on his behalf.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Intervene?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Is it true that you've been attempting
0:22:46 > 0:22:48to drive him from his forge?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51His presence there is a deliberate affront by Ross!
0:22:52 > 0:22:55And that justifies this harassment?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Wrecking a man's workshop, threatening his customers?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Good God, I know no details, I leave the minutiae to Tom Harry!
0:23:01 > 0:23:03If the details are beneath you,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06is not also the intimidation of a young man
0:23:06 > 0:23:09whose only crime is to be related to Ross Poldark?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Drake Carne defied me.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13He brought toads to our pond.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Whatever Tom saw fit to do...
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Tom Harry is a brute and I want him dismissed.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I want no trouble.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Should've thought about that
0:23:37 > 0:23:39before you came trespassing on private property.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I aren't trespassin'. I came to speak to Mrs Warleggan.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Do we believe him?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Right, lads.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Scat him up!
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Tom!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Best hope your blessed toads come save 'ee!
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I took the liberty, Vicar, of visiting Arthur
0:24:42 > 0:24:45to see if he would be willing to accept a smaller sum.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46And?
0:24:52 > 0:24:57In consideration of the very great sacrifice I would be making,
0:24:57 > 0:24:58to my principles,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00to my reputation...
0:25:01 > 0:25:05..the very least I could accept is £700.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I've pleaded with him, Vicar,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10but he says there are things I do not understand.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11We will need a cottage.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13With furnishings.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14And a garden.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Perhaps you'd like a carriage too? And several footmen?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21This is extortion of the grossest kind. Get out!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I remember when I first saw you do that.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37A lifetime ago.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41How I saw you go from raw ensign and scourge of authority
0:25:41 > 0:25:42to able young captain.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48You'll also recall how I earned that promotion.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52By being the last man standing after the ambush at James Creek.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53One thing remains consistent -
0:25:53 > 0:25:55your propensity for self-deprecation.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You're principled and high-minded.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01But, sometimes, in order to affect change, hands must be dirtied.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19HE MURMURS TO HIMSELF
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Forgive me, Vicar.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I wish to let you know that I've written to the Bishop.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28I've asked him to pray for me.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31You haven't told him about your condition?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34He will never believe you.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37He will think you an hysterical child.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I've also mentioned the mole you have on your left buttock.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Shaped like a pig's tail? 'Tis very distinctive.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44I've drawn it for him.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46You are the most evil...
0:26:46 > 0:26:50I think, Vicar, that Arthur would be willing
0:26:50 > 0:26:51for me to give you this letter.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56In exchange for £500.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04You should never've let him go.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06'Twas but a courtesy call, he said.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Drake!
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Dear God.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23- Is he dead?- He's breathing. He's still breathin'! Get help!
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Go to Killewarren and fetch Dwight.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You're lucky to be alive.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Who did this?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Can't rightly say.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I never see'd their faces.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55'Twas George's brutes! Who else would it be?
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Then there'll be no recourse.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00George will deny all knowledge, and who can challenge him?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Must we truly stand by while the rich and mighty
0:28:06 > 0:28:08ride roughshod across we?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I don't believe God means for I to do it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Nor I, lad.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20To see a young tacker basted to within an inch of his life?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24And none call'd to answer for it?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And Warleggan a Member of Parliament?
0:28:26 > 0:28:30All the more reason for him and his enterprises to be held to account.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32MURMURS OF AGREEMENT
0:28:33 > 0:28:35'Tis time...
0:28:38 > 0:28:39..to hit him where it hurts.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- Yeah!- Hear, hear.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11When shall we go to London?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Go when you please.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21You cannot still be angry?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Because of the incident with the boy?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25You surely don't suggest...
0:29:25 > 0:29:27That we're incompatible?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31That our marriage is foundering on suspicion and jealousy?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36That your objection to the boy is really your hatred of Ross?
0:29:38 > 0:29:40I wondered when that name would occur.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Are you not jealous of him?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Is suspicion not eating you up?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Poisoning your family life?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Turning your achievements to bitterness and gall?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54There can be no future for our marriage if that is the case.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Make haste. Quiet about it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12That's it. Heave. One, two, three, heave.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Make fast.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Secure it at the back. Be quick about it. Quick about it.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Ready?
0:30:26 > 0:30:27And heave!
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Oh, maid, come home.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05There's a visitor!
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I can't now. Drake needs me.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Beggin' yer pardon. 'Tis one I b'la you'd wish to see.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17I can stay and make myself useful.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21No, tidn't right, Prudie.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24How oft do the men take a fancy to another woman
0:31:24 > 0:31:26and sometimes act on it?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I would never. It would break Ross's heart.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30No, I must give up all thoughts of him.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33As Ross gave up all thought of Elizabeth for me.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Did he? Are 'ee sure?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05I only tell 'ee of it for I know it means naught.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08'Tis but a dalliance.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09A "dalliance".
0:32:11 > 0:32:15So 'ee may have one of yer own,
0:32:15 > 0:32:17without troublin' yer conscience.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Go home, Prudie.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Well, my dear, I trust you're feeling rested
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- and ready to resume your... - No, Ossie.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48My dear, I think you forget yourself.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I come in all friendliness,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52intending to give the natural...
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I said no.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00You will leave this room and never return.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Can I believe my ears?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Are you so wilful?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10So headstrong? So...
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Blind?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14No. Nor half-witted neither.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22My sister is with child.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Your child.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Despite your attempts to sedate me,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I have not been deaf all of the time.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36You must realise it was not my fault!
0:33:36 > 0:33:40That girl has some evil in her which makes a man possessed!
0:33:40 > 0:33:43But now, by the grace of God,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45I've returned to you.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46So let us pray together
0:33:46 > 0:33:50and then happily resume our marital..
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Never.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58You have no right to deny me.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05I am your husband and you will do as I command.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06And I will kill your son!
0:34:09 > 0:34:13So help me God, if you do so much as approach me again,
0:34:13 > 0:34:14I will smother him.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Merciful heaven!
0:34:16 > 0:34:17You don't believe I'll do it?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Do you really want to take that chance?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29You've been ill, Morwenna,
0:34:29 > 0:34:31and I've no wish to see you relapse.
0:34:32 > 0:34:38I will leave you to think over your duty to me...
0:34:40 > 0:34:44..and will pray to our Lord to grant you forgiveness.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45BABY CRIES
0:34:49 > 0:34:50DOOR SLAMS
0:34:50 > 0:34:52CRYING INTENSIFIES
0:35:00 > 0:35:03I didn't mean it. Of course I didn't mean it.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06But Drake be no harm to anyone.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07It beggars belief.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Had he been found an hour later.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Of course Demelza asked me not to tell you.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13She's afraid of what I might do to George.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14As well she may be.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Will you go to Trenwith?
0:35:16 > 0:35:17This instant.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29What is it? Is it Drake?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Agatha's grave.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Need we discuss that now?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Things you need to attend to - what things?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41None that need concern you.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43That's convenient, Ross.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46No concern of mine who you meet, who you talk to...
0:35:46 > 0:35:48who you kiss.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54It is not what you imagine.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Ross, I'm weary of it.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Secret kisses, secret smiles.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01How many other secrets must there be between us?
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Keep them, Ross. Keep them all.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12And I will keep mine.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Demelza.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Urgent word from Truro, Captain.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34What is it? The French?
0:36:34 > 0:36:36The peace and safety of our country is threatened.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38We are ordered to the northern road.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40We must mobilise at once!
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Well...
0:37:16 > 0:37:18can I make it any plainer?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I abandon my squadron, in the middle of a war,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24to throw myself at your feet.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Is there a more extravagant way I could declare my love?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33A longer poem would've sufficed!
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Not for me.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Shall we walk to Hendrawna Sands?
0:38:04 > 0:38:05May I take your hand?
0:38:07 > 0:38:08But if someone should see?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12I will tell them that I need you to guide me.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16And very soon it will be true.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I've been discharged from the Navy.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23For what?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25In six months' time I'll be completely blind.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11I do not presume to compare myself to Ross.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14He's a great man.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16My saviour and friend.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27But you are...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29His wife.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30And mother of his children.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33And I've no wish to threaten that.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35I would not allow it.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Your head might not.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42But would your heart?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48It is to the heart which I now appeal.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52That part which, dare I say it,
0:39:52 > 0:39:53has been neglected.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Can you allow me this?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Shall we grant ourselves to each other?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05So that I may go into the darkness
0:40:05 > 0:40:07knowing that I...
0:40:07 > 0:40:08I once tasted heaven?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11WHEELS RATTLE
0:41:11 > 0:41:12DISTANT SHOUTING
0:41:16 > 0:41:18SHOUTING INTENSIFIES
0:41:51 > 0:41:52We're here for the grain.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Stand aside.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Take them home, Tholly.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Yer father'd turn in his grave!
0:42:02 > 0:42:04His own son, changin' sides,
0:42:04 > 0:42:08panderin' to the pomp an' privileged?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11When the French arrive, you may wish to be elsewhere.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16There be no French. Only threat to us here is thee.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Will 'ee not take a stand with us, brother?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Will 'ee not show where thy loyalties lie?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32You know where this leads, Tholly.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Bloodshed, riot.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36We've both seen it.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40So go now and no harm will come to you.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Folks are starving! You know who this grain store belong to?
0:42:45 > 0:42:48The man who battered thine own kin.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49George Warleggan.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Warleggan do think he's above the law.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55SHOUTS OF AGREEMENT
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Is't not thy duty to hold him to account?
0:43:01 > 0:43:03My duty is to King and country -
0:43:03 > 0:43:06and I will do whatever it takes to keep the peace.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14You have until the count of ten to disperse.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Or what, young Cap'n?
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Or what?
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Is this what they brought you to?
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Are 'ee so enthralled with the establishment
0:43:37 > 0:43:41you'd subdue by force your old comrades and friends?
0:43:41 > 0:43:43You leave me no choice.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53One, two...
0:43:56 > 0:43:58..three, four...
0:44:00 > 0:44:03..five, six,
0:44:03 > 0:44:05seven,
0:44:05 > 0:44:07eight,
0:44:07 > 0:44:08nine...
0:44:18 > 0:44:19..ten.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22- SIR FRANCIS, ECHOING: - Terror and bloodshed,
0:44:22 > 0:44:24that is not democracy, that is vengeance.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26I do not endorse bloodshed and violence.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29I am not that man, Demelza, I have never been that man.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31- DEMELZA:- If you do not challenge the corrupt and unjust,
0:44:31 > 0:44:33then commoners will rise.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37- THOLLY:- You'd subdue by force, your old comrades and friends?
0:44:37 > 0:44:38- DEMELZA:- Judas!
0:44:50 > 0:44:52You're right, my friend.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Of course I've changed sides.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01I'm not here to defend my country,
0:45:01 > 0:45:05but to protect the property of my good friend George,
0:45:05 > 0:45:08who would like nothing better than for me to pick up arms against you.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13But the time has come to take a stand against him.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16And not just here.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21But in the corridors of Westminster.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23That much is clear now.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29So the next time I'm asked to stand for public office...
0:45:32 > 0:45:35..can you imagine what my answer will be?
0:45:41 > 0:45:42Good lad.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Elizabeth...
0:46:19 > 0:46:20I must...
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Are you saying that my doubts,
0:46:25 > 0:46:27my suspicions,
0:46:27 > 0:46:29are completely unfounded?
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Name them and I will tell you.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43I...
0:46:43 > 0:46:44believe...
0:46:47 > 0:46:52I believe that you still love Ross.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58No, George. That is not all you believe.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Is it not enough?
0:47:00 > 0:47:01More than enough!
0:47:01 > 0:47:04No doubt it's why you set your creatures
0:47:04 > 0:47:06to follow me day and night.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08But that is not all, is it?
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Is it?
0:47:16 > 0:47:18I...
0:47:18 > 0:47:19I will dismiss Tom Harry.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22I will repair the boy's smithy at my own expense.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Tell me why you treat your son as if he were not your son?
0:47:29 > 0:47:30Is he my son?
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Who else's could he be?
0:47:44 > 0:47:48Now you see how jealousy is eating you up?
0:47:48 > 0:47:50I cannot abide it.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53I will not abide it.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55No. No, Elizabeth, please, I...
0:47:59 > 0:48:04I swear that I have never given myself to another man,
0:48:04 > 0:48:07except my first husband, Francis, and you.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16But of course even that will not satisfy you!
0:48:16 > 0:48:18So I will leave Trenwith today,
0:48:18 > 0:48:21taking Geoffrey Charles and Valentine.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23No, Elizabeth! Wait, I beg you.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Perhaps I was... Perhaps...
0:48:27 > 0:48:29Perhaps I was too hasty.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32As you say, there have been suspicions -
0:48:32 > 0:48:34unfounded, clearly unjust.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37I've been...misguided...
0:48:37 > 0:48:41and yet you must see that this is only a reflection of my regard,
0:48:41 > 0:48:44of my love, of my very great love.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Is love cruel?
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Is love unkind?
0:48:49 > 0:48:54Is your bitter, vile coldness towards me and your son...
0:48:54 > 0:48:56It will cease. From this moment.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58So will my jealousy.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00- So my suspicions.- Swear it!
0:49:02 > 0:49:04I have sworn.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05So must you.
0:49:08 > 0:49:14You will never again speak or even harbour such vile suspicions
0:49:14 > 0:49:16about your wife and child.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19I will not. I will not. I swear it.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21I will never again.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23Forgive me.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32Forgive me.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37Forgive me.
0:49:42 > 0:49:43I forgive you.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Is Westminster ready for Ross Poldark?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Ready or not, change is long overdue.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51When next it's offered, I believe he'll accept.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54I have some changes of my own I'd like to propose.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57And do they involve less patients?
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Less training with the Volunteers?
0:49:59 > 0:50:03And in their place - more kisses, more bonbons, and more lying abed.
0:50:03 > 0:50:04Bonbons are bad for the health.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06But kisses are the cure for everything!

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Where's Demelza?
0:50:26 > 0:50:27Out.
0:50:29 > 0:50:30Where?
0:50:32 > 0:50:33She didn't say.
0:50:36 > 0:50:37Alone?
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Had a visitor.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Is she coming back?
0:50:55 > 0:50:56'Spect so.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00She didn't say.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13I thought I would die today.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19I too.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23But when I did not,
0:51:23 > 0:51:28I began to think life has some purpose that I knowed not till now.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30Why think 'ee so?
0:51:32 > 0:51:38For this day I found green shoots coming up out o' season.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43And what shoots they be?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Winter primroses.
0:52:54 > 0:52:55Well, Ross.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58My compliments to the Volunteers.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00I believe they were put to good use today.
0:53:03 > 0:53:07Oh, did you think you were being summoned to fight the Frenchies?
0:53:07 > 0:53:09No, it seems Tom Harry got the better of you.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13A little nudge and your muskets protect my grain store.
0:53:13 > 0:53:19But you humble foot soldiers must go where your betters decree,
0:53:19 > 0:53:20I believe.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25And what else do you believe, George?
0:53:30 > 0:53:33I believe I have every reason for optimism.
0:53:34 > 0:53:39I believe I have a devoted wife, a thriving son, a fine estate
0:53:39 > 0:53:42and a parliamentary career which has barely begun.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44What is it you believe, Ross?
0:53:49 > 0:53:50That belief is a beautiful thing.
0:54:16 > 0:54:17KNOCK ON DOOR
