1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,677
If you do not challenge the corrupt,
then commoners will rise.
2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,399
Truro lacks an MP.
3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,997
Sir Francis intends to put up his own candidate
to challenge Falmouth's.
4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,435
I regret I must decline.
5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,670
ROSS: He won?
6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,752
Your stubbornness will be your undoing.
7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,559
Is it wrong to hope for love in a marriage?
8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,632
Does Mr Whitworth's love mean nothing at all?
9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,870
Close your eyes and submit.
10
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,793
- No, please!
- Mm-hm.
11
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,838
I'm no Leonardo but you are surely Mona Lisa.
12
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,310
Since the day of her death
he's been icy towards me.
13
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,598
- What does he imagine?
- That Valentine is not his child.
14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,237
Secret kisses? How many other secrets
must there be between us?
15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,757
You will never again
speak such vile suspicions
16
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,037
- about your wife and child!
- I swear it.
17
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,032
I believe I have every reason for optimism.
18
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,793
What is it you believe?
19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,431
♪ Do not ask me for a kiss
20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,914
♪ Life is short but love is long
21
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,151
In six months' time I'll be completely blind.
22
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,039
Shall we grant ourselves to each other?
23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,591
- Demelza...
- No, Ross. Ask me nothing.
24
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,272
(Woman laughs)
25
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,592
(Echoing) What is love?
26
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,109
A possession to be hoarded...
27
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,397
or a blessing to be given away?
28
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,471
Did she betray her love for you
by offering some to me?
29
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,230
Can I not give him
even the smallest piece of my heart?
30
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,156
(Laughter)
31
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,235
Papa!
32
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,952
Papa!
33
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,232
We saw you swim away.
34
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,670
No. I'm still here.
35
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,072
And I.
36
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,354
My Right Honourable friends,
37
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,914
I have to inform you that it is my intention
to ask permission of His Majesty the King
38
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,878
to call for an election.
39
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,078
- (Shouting)
- Order! Order!
40
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,036
Order! Order!
41
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,957
(Lively chatter)
42
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,033
Where's the grain bound for?
43
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,680
Lisbon.
44
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,472
(Chatter nearby)
45
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,073
So there it is.
Pitt's dissolved Parliament.
46
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,560
And called an election.
47
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,919
In which I have every intention
of ousting your man here
48
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,560
by putting forward my nephew.
49
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,552
I humbly invite you to try, my Lord.
50
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,920
(Fire crackling)
51
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,872
HUGH: Lips to my lips unfold
52
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,752
The tale of our love is told
53
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,592
Hallowed by sea and sand
54
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,039
Beauty was in my hand.
55
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,193
(Groans softly)
56
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,837
My dear, I hope the gifts
I brought from London found favour?
57
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,914
Valentine has not been used to such kindness.
58
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,993
- He welcomes the change.
- It will continue.
59
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,872
So I would hope.
60
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,351
And were we ever to be blessed
with another child...
61
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,072
You have my word.
62
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,152
Things will be different.
63
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,552
I am now different.
64
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,915
Ah, the prodigal returns!
65
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,398
Jago, boy, come here!
66
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,390
All right, Da?
67
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,119
What 'ee been up to now, son?
68
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:03,957
Ah, the usual. Brawling, free-trading,
attacking customs officials.
69
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,873
Have you both heard?
70
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,555
Wheal Kitty's closed.
And Jane and Busy.
71
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,792
- Since when?
- Since after banks in Truro shut they doors.
72
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,395
- Mines can't draw wages.
- These are uncertain times.
73
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,914
Pitt's called an election.
74
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,231
If the Bank of England's
suspended its payments,
75
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,039
some local banks will do the same.
76
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,954
- But hopefully it's temporary.
- And meantime?
77
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,840
Are we to eat?
78
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,832
The price of grain is off the scale
79
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,391
and at Truro quay today I see'd it
being shipped away to Lisbon.
80
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,552
Be that lawful?
81
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,798
Quite the reverse.
82
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,316
But many still sell to the highest bidder.

It's... It's just something I heard.
86
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,912
I can't recall where.
87

There does appear to be
some slight improvement.
88

My uncle will be delighted.
89
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,358
He's asked me to stand at Truro
for the next election.
90
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,992
As second choice.
91
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,395
You know he asked Ross first.
92
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,871
I seem to recall you saying
that politics was not to your taste.
93
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,555
Well, perhaps my priorities have changed.
94
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,033
So, you think, with the aid of spectacles,
I'll be able to see to the other side of the House.
95
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,511
There have been Members
who are not all-seeing.
96

That was a big one.

100
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,633
Your worst nightmare...
101
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,634
- Cold feet?
- Shrieking children.
102
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,995
True.
103
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,629
And though some things
one can learn to tolerate,
104
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,077
cold feet is not one of them.
105
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,039
Children are no guarantee of happiness.
106
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,192
As Ross will testify.
107
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,195
Ross! I think we must go.
108
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:53,674
Demelza, we must leave now
or we'll be late for the service.
109
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,872
Do you not think, wife,
110
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,354
that the time has come for us to resume our...
conjugal bliss?
111
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,271
What bliss was that, Osborne?
112
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,552
This is wilfulness.
113
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,480
Neglect.
114
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,552
So, help me, a man has needs.
115
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,193
A wife has duties.
116
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,593
Which I fulfilled in every way
till you saw fit to debauch my sister.
117
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,950
I'm expected at Sawle.
Naturally, you'll not wish to attend.
118
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,634
Miss Agatha was kind to me.
119
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,793
I wish very much to attend.
120
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,633
Friends,
121
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,996
fellow servants of God,
122
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:13,993
we are gathered here today,
at the behest of Mistress Warleggan,
123
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,949
to honour the life of Agatha Mary Poldark.
124
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,952
How fortunate was that great lady
125
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,353
to have known in her lifetime
such esteem and devotion...
126
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,199
..and in death to be spared the turmoil
and strife which now threatens us all.
127
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,554
War with France. An election looming?
128
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,709
Disorder and riot at every turn.
129
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,600
How blessed are they that have
passed through the Vale of Tears
130
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,197
and now lie down in flowery fields
beside the Lamb of God!
131
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,477
Praise be.
MOURNERS: Amen.
132
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,033
"Disorder and riot."
Do we hear rumours of such in Truro?
133
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,511
Nothing that won't be quelled
by a firm response from our magistrates.
134
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,199
If the situation worsens,
you will of course not hesitate...
135
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,799
..to read the Riot Act.
136
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,440
Oh, no, no.
137
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,069
Indeed. Elizabeth.
138
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,955
Your presence today was appreciated.
139
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,919
I regret it took so long to supply a headstone.
140
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,276
It was not for want of affection for her.
141
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,913
At least not on your part.
142
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,398
I feel we should be going, wife.
143
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,275
Captain Poldark, I wonder,
since we are so close to Nampara,
144
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,796
whether my wife and I
might wait upon you today.
145
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:01,872
We'd be delighted to receive you.
146
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,520
Would we not, Demelza?
147
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,311
- (Clucking)
- Judas, I could crown Ross!
148
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,314
He could hardly refuse.
Sir Francis seemed most eager.
149
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,632
You don't understand. My father
and brothers worked in his mines.
150
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,519
Now he'll be under my roof.
151
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,876
Do you suppose
he'll send you to eat in the scullery?
152
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,315
I think I'd prefer it.
153
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,712
Prudie! Oh, Prudie, make haste!
154
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,519
Oh, Judas, clear the table.
155
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,958
Sir Francis Basset is coming to tea.
156
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,680
Well, what do we have?
157
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,832
Cakes, tarts, jellies?
158
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,277
Has there been any disturbance hereabouts?
159
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,033
We passed people on the road to Truro.
160
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,398
My dear,
the vulgars are full of sound and fury.
161
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,314
But, believe me,
they would not dare take things further.
162
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,392
HUGH: My beloved Demelza,
163
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:18,712
this poem must suffice
to reside next to your heart,
164
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,599
where I most long to be.
165
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,076
Brave of you to venture into enemy territory,
my Lord,
166
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,352
given that George Warleggan is your man.
167
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,910
Well, he's shortly to be challenged
by a new candidate.
168
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,833
Falmouth's nephew.
169
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,559
Armitage?
170
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,836
I'd not heard.
171
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,674
Oh, sir, we b'aint quite ready.
172
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,312
Mistress is above. No need to go up.
She'll be down directly.
173
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,719
Sir.
174
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,358
Lips to my lips unfold
175
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,239
The tale of our love is told
176
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,119
Today has been all I could wish.
177
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,476
Hallowed by sea and sand
178
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,280
I beg you, never speak of this again.
179
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,832
Beauty was in my hand.
180
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,400
ROSS: Demelza! Our guests have arrived.
181
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,311
- Where are they going?
- Truro quay,
182
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,631
to see for theyselves
if what I say it true.
183
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,517
Corn snatched from the mouths of our babes?
184
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,435
Sent to feed Portuguese dandies.
And if it's true, then what?
185
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,874
You'll not turn back the tide.
186
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,032
Someone should.
187
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,032
Jago!
188
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,836
Jago!
189
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,469
Curse the lad!
There never was no argufying with him.
190
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,791
I'll go. I have longer legs.
191
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,960
Fear not. We'll fetch him home again.
192
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,152
Jago!
193
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,998
Come away, brother.
'Tis a fool's errand.
194
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,231
No-one asked 'ee to come along with I.
195
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,992
Go home if 'ee choose.
196
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,476
My Lord de Dunstanville, is life much altered
by your elevation to the peerage?
197
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,270
Oh, not in the least. My dogs are as lazy
and my daughter as wilful.
198
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,715
(Laughter)
199
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,270
Will you be less embroiled in
more mundane matters of state?
200
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,231
Alas, no. I fear I'll be called upon all the more
to pronounce judgment and enforce order.
201
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,471
Particularly in these unruly times.
202
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,351
(Bell ringing)
203
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,313
There she be!
204
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,676
- And that's the grain!
- (Angry shouting)
205
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,153
When merchants flout the law and send
grain abroad while people at home starve,
206
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,754
who will enforce that order?
207
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,640
(Shouting and groaning)
208
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,836
No...
209
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,514
- Here, stop that!
- (Shouting)
210
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,593
Those in governance
who feel strongly about it.
211
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,878
Get back!
212
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:21,793
No!
213
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,239
Please stop! Argh!
214
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,634
(Thud)
215
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,271
I believe there are men of honour
and conviction, my Lord.
216
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,517
If one did know where to look.
217
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,117
When one does, you'll often find
such men reluctant to step up.
218
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,760
And now, regrettably,
the moment has passed.
219
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,073
While other candidates serve not so much
the borough but their own end.
220
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,794
And Falmouth has a new man
to challenge George.
221
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,395
His nephew.
DWIGHT: He's accepted the nomination?
222
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,359
He's a good man.
And Westminster has need of good men.
223
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,718
If he wins against the combined forces
of Basset and Warleggan.
224
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,872
That seems unlikely.
225
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,912
(Angry shouting)
226
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,477
This feud between the Poldarks
and the Warleggans,
227
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,120
it should be buried.
228
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,318
Especially in a time of war
when we have a common enemy to fight.
229
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,153
You tell Captain Poldark, will you?
230
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,313
- (Chuckles) If you will tell Mr Warleggan.
- Ah.
231
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,274
- And what of your own feud?
- Of mine?
232
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,511
- With Lord Falmouth.
- Ah.
233
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,240
Is it not a pity that you cannot
agree on a candidate
234
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,278
instead of fighting each other for the seat?
235
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,717
So we might both throw our weight
behind a handsome and poetic war hero?
236
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,675
You think him a fitting substitute
for the man I first favoured?
237
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,997
In every way but one, my Lord.
238
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,118
My husband does not write poetry.
239
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,430
(Chuckles)
240
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,198
Jago Martin did murder a merchant
with his own bare hands.
241
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:08,714
And the Carne brothers with him?
242
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,837
I seen them all three together.
243
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,710
Amongst 2,000 filthy rioters.
244
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,112
2,000 miners descended on Truro.
245
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,715
- 2,000?
- An exaggeration, surely?
246
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,714
Apparently it was too dangerous
to even attempt to read the Riot Act.
247
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,360
I must return to Tehidy at once.
248
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,831
Landowners and squires will be summoned
immediately, yourselves included.
249
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,720
- To what end?
- Immediate re-establishment of law and order.
250
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,669
- May I ask who sent the note?
- The Honourable Member for Truro.
251
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:45,112
(Clears his throat)
252
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,196
I've had men stationed at all the gates.
253
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,760
With the mood in town,
one cannot be too careful.
254
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,269
I'm thinking particularly of your peace of mind,
my dear.
255
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,875
Especially now, if we're considering
an addition to the family.
256
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,635
And Valentine
would hardly wish to see his father's head
257
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,076
paraded on a spike round Truro quay.
258
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,478
Gentlemen, events today on Truro quay
259
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,678
leave us no choice
but to act swiftly and decisively.
260
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,038
I hope I may rely on you all
in rounding up the offenders
261
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,760
to prevent any thought of reoccurrence.
262
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,920
Sir John, may I ask you
to take the village of St Ann's
263
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,594
and arrest the following persons?
264
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,037
My Lord, are there any from Sawle
among the accused?
265
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,712
There are.
266
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,754
Dr Enys and I will arrest them.
267
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,791
Mr Stackhouse, the village of Poole.
268
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,277
(Fire crackling)
269
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,279
(Low gasp)
270
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,876
(Chatter)
271
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,032
(Silence)
272
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,239
There was a riot today on Truro quay.
273
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,160
Charges relating to it are as follows:
274
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,515
theft, violent affray,
275
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,717
common assault,
276
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,951
- murder.
- Murder?
277
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:46,160
One Samuel Phillips. A corn merchant.
There were witnesses.
278
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,754
When I call out your name,
279
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,436
you will kindly step forward
before you are taken to Truro jail.
280
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,160
- Can 'ee not let 'em go?
- It is not in my power to do so.
281
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,755
Believe me, you'd sooner deal with Ross
282
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,833
than the thugs who'll be breaking down doors
from here to Truro.
283
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,677
You have my word, I will do all in my power
to see you are fairly dealt with.
284
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,150
All in your power? What power's that?
285
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,515
MAN: Aye.
286
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,990
The names are as follows.
287
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,075
John Hoskin.
288
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,439
Peter Hoskin.
289
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:19,680
- Jago Martin.
- (Murmuring)
290
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,392
Samuel Carne.
291
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,313
Drake Carne.
292
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,674
We never did nothing.
SAM: Brother, swear to God,
293
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,593
we never stole,
we never made assault.
294
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,116
If you are innocent,
you have nothing to fear.
295
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,277
I will vouch for you in court tomorrow.
296
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,596
(Sighs)
297
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,193
Say naught of this to Sister.
298
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:45,760
How can I keep it from her?
299
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,879
You swear,
they who be innocent shall be free?
300
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,830
Yes.
301
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,472
Then it profit her not to know we're arrested
when tomorrow we'll be free again.
302
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,475
(Honking)
303
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,311
Was it very bad?
304
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,556
Yes.
305
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,232
No. I must go out again.
306
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,119
There were arrests.
307
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,272
Men are due in court at midday.
308
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,032
What can I do?
309
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,912
Lie with me awhile.
310
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,032
I must go.
311
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:19,112
Keep home today.
312
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,832
There's unrest in the villages.
I would have you safe.
313
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,957
My dear, I'm just leaving for the court.
314
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:32,634
Was not the trial at midday?
315
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,871
Oh, I ordered it to be brought forward.
316
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,953
Best to have such matters
resolved early in the day.
317
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,353
(He makes an animal noise)
318
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,037
- Could it be true?
- Sam and Drake claim they're innocent.
319
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,795
Jago throttled a corn merchant
but swears he left him alive.
320
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,270
But all three were accused
by several witnesses.
321
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,511
Reliable witnesses?
322
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,957
Those in the pay of
the Honourable Member for Truro.
323
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,431
You think George is behind the charges?
324
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,193
To Drake, Sam and Jago?
325
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:07,953
Without question.
326
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:12,637
- Such a man is our Member of Parliament?
- Until Hugh defeats him at the election.
327
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,109
(Clears his throat)
328
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,999
In truth, I think Hugh a good man.
329
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,519
Pity we'll see so little of him
if he goes to Westminster.
330
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,354
He'll be absent from Cornwall
for most of the year.
331
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,156
(Chains rattling)
332
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,872
(He chuckles softly)
333
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,512
Where is everyone?
334
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,558
Captain Ross, Dr Enys and the rest?
335
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,712
Captain Ross did say he'd be here.
336
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,958
- Mr Ross gone to Truro?
- No peace for the wicked.
337
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,152
I think maybe he's not that wicked.
338
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,430
Indeed, I dearly wish I'd never telled 'ee
what I saw that day at Sawle church.
339
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,112
Prudie...
340
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,676
It...'twas not on that account that I...
341
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,071
..that Hugh and I...
342
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,510
Indeed, I can scarce account
for what happened at all.
343
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:48,637
All I know is, a handsome young poet
344
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,793
beguiled me... and I him.
345
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,957
And we shared... a moment...
346
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,512
..then parted.
347
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,272
And that's the end of it.
348
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,031
Prisoners, the court will now move
to place sentencing upon you.
349
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,752
You who stand here today
guilty of riotous assembly...
350
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,640
know that the full rigour of the law
must be applied...
351
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,120
They've already been tried.
352
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,876
..and would surely be so were it not
for the plea made on your behalf
353
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,759
by my Lord de Dunstanville.
354
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,115
It would appear so.
355
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,079
George must have arranged
for the hearing to be brought forward.
356
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,233
In consideration of which,
you will forthwith be released.
357
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,392
(Relieved sighs)
358
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,957
You who have been found guilty of more
serious crimes can expect no such mercy.
359
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:51,080
Examples must be set,
a clear message sent out
360
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,392
so that others considering
a repeat of these transgressions
361
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,995
may know what lies in store for them.
362
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,315
Michael Penhale,
Mark Pinner, John Hoskin...
363
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,359
you are sentenced
to seven years' transportation.
364
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,239
(Muttering)
365
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,392
Jago Martin,
366
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,233
Samuel Carne,
367
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,754
Drake Carne,
368
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,152
you will be taken from this court to prison...
369
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,034
..and thence to a place of execution
where you will be hanged from the neck
370
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,192
- until you be dead.
- No!
371
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,716
(Grunting)
372
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,280
(Sam mutters a prayer)
373
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,432
Get back in line!
374
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,356
DWIGHT: Ross, come away.
375
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,393
Ross.
376
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,437
Divine justice has spoken.
377
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,913
Following the riots of last night,
three miserable souls will hang.
378
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,239
- I pity them.
- Do not.
379
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,517
They are criminals of the vilest kind.
380
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,953
I shall urge them to repent
as they mount the scaffold.
381
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,919
- But since they are Methodists...
- Methodists?
382
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,834
Do you know their names?
383
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,434
Nor do I wish to.
384
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,990
It's bad enough that I must pray for their souls.
385
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,912
(Breathes tensely)
386
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,032
(Chains rattling)
387
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,997
(Lock clunks and echoes)
388
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,912
HUGH: Lips to my lips unfold
389
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,197
The tale of our love is told
390
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,191
Hallowed by sea and sand
391
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,032
(Fades) Beauty was in my hand.
392
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,717
Since his mother died, he turned wild
and would never mind me.
393
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,757
- (Sobs)
- I know.
394
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,790
- Courage, brother.
- Will you humour me?
395
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,275
Go to Nampara and swear Prudie to silence.
396
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,079
Invite Demelza to dinner and keep her
by any means from hearing this.
397
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,720
For how long?
398
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,872
Till I send word.
399
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,352
(Neighing)
400
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,873
(Moans)
401
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,032
(Groans)
402
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,112
Is something amiss?
403
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,319
A slight headache, Uncle.
404
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,472
I think I may have caught a chill.
405
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,872
Shall I send for Dr Choake?
406
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,671
No need. I've invited Dr Enys
and his wife to visit tomorrow.
407
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,752
A social call but...
408
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,435
if the headache persists,
I will ask his advice.
409
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,794
Clearly there are many matters
requiring their attention
410
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,919
beyond the arrangements
for your return to Parliament.
411
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,317
Ah, Captain Poldark, I'm informed you
wish to see me on a matter of urgency.
412
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,156
Ross, we were discussing arrangements
for the coming election.
413
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,754
Pitt hopes to strengthen his hand
against those who oppose him.
414
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,594
But his handling of the war
and the current financial crisis
415
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,752
leaves his position in serious doubt.
416
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,435
And what of his bill to help the poor?
417
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,913
Pensions for the old, parish loans?
418
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,279
Well meant but utterly impractical
and opposed by most men in authority.
419
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,150
- Particularly those versed in law.
- But not sufficiently versed in compassion?
420
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,394
Had you entered Parliament, you might
have argued passionately in favour of that bill.
421
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,314
I think the primary objective of Parliament now
is to win the war.
422
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,598
The sure way of doing that
would be to prevent disaffection at home.
423
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,558
We have our own ways of doing that.
424
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,554
As the men sentenced to hang
will shortly attest.
425
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,030
There was nothing more to be done for them.
426
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,669
- The evidence against them was...
- Largely manufactured
427
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,275
and in the case of my brothers-in-law,
entirely so.
428
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,990
They were part of a riot. They were present
when crimes were committed.
429
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,040
And the act of one is the act of all.
You of all people should know that.
430
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,599
You surely see
that an example must be made.
431
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,355
And the harsher the lesson,
the greater the deterrent.
432
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,399
We are talking about men's lives.
433
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,995
Sometimes a man's life is what is required
434
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,039
in order to deter others
from following in his footsteps.
435
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,318
Many a man has been reprieved
at the foot of the scaffold.
436
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,116
We both know who has the power
to make it so.
437
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,794
From Hugh. Will I attend on him
at Tregothnan tomorrow?
438
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,793
Is he unwell?
439
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,749
He says he wants to reassure his uncle
that he's fit to stand for Parliament...
440
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,870
..and urges Caroline
and you and Ross to join me.
441
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,872
Oh.
442
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,878
- (Water dripping)
- Will he bring Sister, do 'ee think?
443
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,271
For her sake, let him not.
444
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,399
Mistress be back. She be indoors.
445
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,992
Does she suspect?
446
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,556
- (She sobs)
- (He sighs)
447
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,312
Ross...
448
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,839
What happened in court?
449
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,632
Some were treated fairly,
450
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,512
others harshly.
451
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,353
What's in the letter?
452
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,512
It's from Hugh.
453
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,551
Inviting us to Tregothnan tomorrow.
454
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,192
Along with Dwight and Caroline.
455
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,113
His letter speaks of a fever.
Of headaches and the like.
456
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,876
I think... I think it would be
a kindness to visit.
457
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,112
A kindness, yes.
458
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,599
Do you think there's room...
in a woman's heart for two men?
459
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,432
Or two women in a man's?
460
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,072
No husband minds his wife...
461
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,431
..being the one that other men desire but...
462
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,592
..no man wants his wife to be
the one that other men possess.
463
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,678
No, Ross.
464
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,791
So, tomorrow, I have further business
regarding the arrests in Truro.
465
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,352
But you...
466
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,431
You go to Tregothnan.
467
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,392
If you think I should.
468
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,152
I do.
469
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:43,038
(Rope sliding)
470
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,472
(Rope sliding)
471
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,596
(Voice echoes) Drake.
472
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,591
- (Thudding)
- (Gasping)
473
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,357
(Rope creaking)
474
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,716
(Low chatter)
475
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,872
(Children giggling)
476
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,511
She have a right to know.
477
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,712
She'd wish to be there.
478
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,071
Have you ever been at a hanging?
479
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:35,799
No.
480
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,111
Well, the spectacle is hideous.
481
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,157
I will at least spare her
the horror of witnessing it.
482
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,033
A visit to Tregothnan will keep her occupied.
483
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,635
But if they hang and she not there?
484
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,192
It will destroy her.
485
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,512
And she'll never forgive me.
486
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,553
Still... it's the lesser of two evils.
487
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,552
GEORGE: I take it you won't be joining me
at the execution?
488
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,791
Who's to hang?
Did you tell me their names?
489
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,917
No matter. I think I'll stay here
and prepare for our return to London.
490
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,992
Oh.
491
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,913
Then... you... you will, after all,
be accompanying me?
492
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,756
Of late I'd assumed you'd remain here.
493
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:01,400
I thought so too.
494
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,598
But on reflection I think it beneficial
if we are not so much apart.
495
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,160
Welcome. Do come in.
496
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,870
DWIGHT: Shall we adjourn briefly?
HUGH: Yes, thank you.
497
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,032
(Fire crackling)
498
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,552
This nomination...
499
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,555
Are you quite certain
you feel strong enough?
500
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,034
Why would you doubt it?
501
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,192
Your time in France.
502
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,872
It will have taken its toll.
503
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,398
The conditions which you and I endured,
504
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,110
there will always be a fragility
that was not there before.
505
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:19,799
In what regard?
506
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,031
You may be prone to febrile conditions,
507
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,192
palpitations, headaches.
508
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,952
Have you experienced any of these?
509
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,432
Not that I can recall.
510
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:34,232
Possibly the odd headache.
511
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,271
(Men and women singing)
512
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,432
(Singing and lively chatter)
513
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,999
(Chatter continues)
514
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,679
- Would you wish to be so close?
- Nay, Ross, I was there at his beginning.
515
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,832
I must be there at his end.
516
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,752
Ladies. Oh, please...
517
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:18,075
Dr Enys, I trust you'll have my nephew
in perfect health by the election.
518
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:21,312
I need a vigorous young candidate
to oust Basset's man.
519
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:26,475
Perfect health is difficult for any to attain
and I don't think Hugh is likely to achieve it.
520
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,951
However, I hope second best
will be sufficient for the electors of Truro.
521
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,476
Imagine if you did attain the seat.
522
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,950
I've attained so much already...
523
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,112
for which I am eternally grateful.
524
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,032
(Bell tolling)
525
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,353
My Lord, I...
526
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,953
I wonder, would you consider a truce
with Sir Francis,
527
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,112
erm, with my Lord de Dunstanville?
528
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,029
A truce?
529
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,072
So that you need not fight each other
over the Truro seat
530
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:36,757
but unite to find a new candidate
who'd have the people's interests at heart?
531
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,197
- Well, that would make perfect sense.
- But for one fact.
532
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,194
The arrogant young peer
would certainly not compromise.
533
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:48,913
I think... That is, I believe he might, my Lord.
Indeed, he lately said so to me.
534
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,151
You ladies are so easily played upon.
535
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,314
I recollect it was Basset who enabled
Warleggan's entry to the House in the first place.
536
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:01,430
When you've been in the world as long as I,
you know a conniving rogue when you see one.
537
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,277
(Door is opened)
538
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,955
Samuel Carne, Drake Carne,
539
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,715
you have been found guilty of violent assault
540
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,918
and of stealing goods
above the value of 40 shillings.
541
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:21,439
Jago Martin, you have been found guilty of
the murder of Samuel Phillips, corn merchant.
542
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,079
Have you anything to say
before your sentence is carried out?
543
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,477
Friends...
544
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,953
..beloved family...
545
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,830
..know that if I've wronged you in this life
I now beg forgiveness.
546
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,994
Know too that though I did lay hands on
Samuel Phillips, I never left him dead.
547
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,072
And know finally...
548
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:01,870
that these two men did naught
but come along with I to fetch me home.
549
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,430
Though I be part guilty,
these be wholly innocent.
550
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,355
As God is my witness, I swear it.
551
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,712
(Shouting from crowd)
552
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,120
(Angry shouting)
553
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,433
Have mercy.
554
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,554
(Pleading for mercy)
555
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,995
One moment! One moment!
556
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,952
My Lords...
557
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,035
..when we send a man to meet his Maker,
558
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:31,794
we must be very certain...
not only of his guilt,
559
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,670
but of our motives in doing so.
560
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,719
Is our aim to see justice done...
561
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,991
- ..or is it to terrify people into submission?
- This man has no authority here.
562
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,152
- He has no right...
- Let him speak.
563
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,520
My Lords, I admit
564
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,390
these are difficult times
to be merciful.
565
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,190
When authority is challenged,
our impulse is to reassert it
566
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,352
in the sternest way possible.
567
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,796
But consider,
here we face conditions
568
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,236
harsher than we have ever known.
569
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,792
Grain is shipped abroad...
570
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,752
..while ordinary people starve.
571
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,111
These men have no grievance
against authority...
572
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,710
..but against the merchants
who grow fat on trade while people die.
573
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,553
(People call out in agreement)
574
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,596
To show mercy now
would not be a sign of weakness.
575
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,272
A signal that justice...
576
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,952
..real justice, had been served...
would be a reprieve.
577
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,040
- Reprieve!
- Reprieve!
578
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,352
OTHERS: Reprieve! Reprieve!
579
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,796
CROWD: Reprieve! Reprieve! Reprieve!
580
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,152
So Ross could not come.
581
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,273
He had business in town.
582
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,480
I think 'tis better if we do not meet at all now.
583
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,351
Do I disquiet you so?
584
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,512
I think we disquiet each other.
585
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:29,712
Demelza, I must tell you...
586
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,717
- Yes?
- There were three further lines to my poem.
587
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,672
What were they?
588
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,112
"And if this day be all
589
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,832
Proud is my heart's recall
590
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:49,675
Proud is my funeral pall."
591
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,393
What do they mean?
592
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,677
That if I cannot love you again...
it'll be the death of me.
593
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,876
CROWD: Reprieve! Reprieve! Reprieve!
594
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,358
(Whispers)
595
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:29,232
(Crowd falls silent)
596
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,189
The court in its mercy grants reprieve
to Samuel Carne...
597
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:34,555
- Yes.
- ..and Drake Carne.
598
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:36,439
(Cheering)
599
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,231
Jago Martin will hang.
CROWD: No!
600
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,312
My Lord!
601
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,032
- (Women scream)
- No!
602
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,312
No!
603
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,832
No!
604
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,157
No...
605
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,074
(Shouting)
606
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,556
(Whispers)
607
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,432
MR MARTIN: No!
608
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,999
- (Wailing)
- (Shouting)
609
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,875
(Crowd falls silent)
610
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,793
(Mr Martin continues sobbing)
611
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,111
(Sobbing)
612
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,477
- (Rope creaking)
- (Muttered jeering)
613
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,152
(Door opens and closes)
614
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,992
Did you want something, Osborne?
615
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:26,952
No, no. Nothing at all.
616
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,520
(Door slams)
617
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,239
(Footsteps recede)
618
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,430
(Sighs)
619
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,314
Ah, I grow weary
of this provincial backwater.
620
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,276
All the more reason to celebrate our imminent
return to London following your re-election.
621
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,552
Quite right, my dear.
622
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,915
A new era is beginning.
623
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,071
And we will take full advantage of it.
624
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,432
You once did lose a child.
625
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,632
Julia.
626
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,152
So 'ee do know.
627
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,552
Yes.
628
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,152
I know.
629
00:52:23,720 --> 00:52:25,712
I had your note.
630
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,112
Life is cheap.
631
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,797
But as Basset himself said,
if it deters others from like resistance...
632
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,440
Which apparently it has.
633
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,592
..perhaps it was not in vain.
634
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,159
Tell that to Zacky.
635
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,431
And what of your own resistance
to public office?
636
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,398
What of it?
637
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,995
I'd say Basset taught you a valuable lesson.
638
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:56,359
- To affect genuine change...
- I must sell my soul and become a politician.
639
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,831
Well, the nomination
has gone elsewhere.
640
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,074
Armitage will oppose George
in the next election.
641
00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:06,392
He will. If he's well enough.
642
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:12,992
You said he is.
643
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,152
I may not have been entirely truthful.
644
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,352
(Waves crashing)
645
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,317
CAROLINE:
You really think Hugh's fit to stand?
646
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,473
His eyesight's improved but...
647
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,474
there were other
less encouraging signs.
648
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:43,713
An excess of nervous energy,
649
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,759
something feverish in his demeanour.
650
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,516
Were that all,
I'd say there was no cause for concern.
651
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:55,630
But... if the fever is symptomatic
of some other condition,
652
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,792
along with the headaches...
653
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,275
It's strange, though.
654
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:05,435
I thought him so much more robust than I
and now he ails and I grow stronger.
655
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,796
Strong enough to consider
an addition to our household?
656
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,520
Do you mean...?
657
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:21,674
(Dog growls softly)
658
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:28,832
(Barks)
659
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,079
My dear, can your election plans
wait for another night?
660
00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:38,436
Perhaps you could attend to your wife.
661
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:47,232
Or must she attend to you?
662
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,278
Ross.
663
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,875
- I thought maybe you'd stay in Truro.
- Demelza.
664
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:05,713
I must tell you...
665
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,758
there was a hanging.
666
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:08,990
Dear God.
667
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,038
Three sentenced, two reprieved.
668
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,192
Who was it?
669
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,239
How was Hugh?
670
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,551
He seemed a little... fragile.
671
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,033
But still in love with you?
672
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:12,759
I think so.
673
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:15,829
And you?
674
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,273
I'm grieved for him -
that his health is so uncertain.
675
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,479
They say pity is akin to love.
676
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,799
I don't think it's pity he wants.
677
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,191
They say it's the last thing a man wants.
678
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:32,834
Or a woman.
679
00:56:38,720 --> 00:56:40,712
Did you pity me
when you left me for Elizabeth?
680
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,952
- I never left you.
- It seemed to me like you did.
681
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,400
That night.
682
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,160
And the day you met her at the church.
683
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,836
I never told you at the time because I
didn't trust myself to find the words.
684
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,993
- To say you still loved her?
- No. The reverse.
685
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,595
I loved her once, as well you know,
686
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,117
and there's a part of me that will always
think of her with affection but...
687
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:12,833
..I realised that day that she never was,
and never could be, what you are to me.
688
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,480
Indispensable.
689
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,080
Irreplaceable.
690
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,432
You tell me this now because...?
691
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,990
I think perhaps I've taken you for granted.
692
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,274
Assumed you knew...
what to me was obvious.
693
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,432
That you are the better part of me.
694
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,829
I think perhaps I've been guilty of the same.
695
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,232
Oh, Ross...
696
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,353
..how can it be that two people
who love so much...
697
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,830
Understand so little?
698
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,432
Is it now too late?
699
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,792
I hope not.
