1
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:07,543
You are worse than the children!

2
00:01:09,388 --> 00:01:11,097
D'you wish they were here?

3
00:01:12,057 --> 00:01:14,430
Not at this precise moment, no.

4
00:01:16,228 --> 00:01:19,929
And, at this rate...
we'll soon be adding to their number.

5
00:02:29,176 --> 00:02:32,462
Everyone is at your beck and call -
myself included.

6
00:02:32,637 --> 00:02:35,046
My love, the confinement is months away.

7
00:02:35,223 --> 00:02:38,225
And I intend to lavish
the best possible care upon you.

8
00:02:38,393 --> 00:02:41,514
And as for this young man...

9
00:02:42,355 --> 00:02:45,108
Come and meet Aurelia!

10
00:02:45,275 --> 00:02:47,067
Oh, Papa, thank you!

11
00:02:47,235 --> 00:02:49,028
OK. Ready?

12
00:02:54,201 --> 00:02:56,527
I also have a surprise for you.

13
00:02:56,703 --> 00:02:58,827
And what might that be?

14
00:02:59,998 --> 00:03:03,249
A masked ball, in this house,

15
00:03:03,418 --> 00:03:07,084
to which the cream
of London society will flock.

16
00:03:07,839 --> 00:03:10,414
My dear, recollect how many times
your invitations

17
00:03:10,592 --> 00:03:12,502
have not found the favour they deserve.

18
00:03:12,677 --> 00:03:15,051
Now they have.
This will be a charity ball.

19
00:03:15,222 --> 00:03:17,096
In aid of the foundling hospital.

20
00:03:17,265 --> 00:03:19,508
Oh! I see.

21
00:03:19,684 --> 00:03:21,096
Well, in that case...

22
00:03:21,269 --> 00:03:25,600
Could there be a better way
of announcing our return to London?

23
00:03:28,944 --> 00:03:30,569
Faster.

24
00:03:36,785 --> 00:03:39,491
Now, for my next trick...

25
00:03:56,638 --> 00:03:58,928
First thing tomorrow
we will visit your tailor.

26
00:03:59,099 --> 00:04:01,591
- I have no tailor.
- I've engaged one.

27
00:04:01,768 --> 00:04:03,513
- The finest.
- Naturally.

28
00:04:03,687 --> 00:04:05,645
My love, this is London.

29
00:04:05,814 --> 00:04:08,602
- One is required to look the part.
- What part is that?

30
00:04:08,775 --> 00:04:11,444
One half of the handsomest couple in town?

31
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:16,403
No wonder you stay so long in London.

32
00:04:17,242 --> 00:04:19,117
Life's all pleasure!

33
00:04:21,288 --> 00:04:24,243
Excellent! A charity ball.

34
00:04:28,044 --> 00:04:30,667
Guess George is 'spiring for sainthood now.

35
00:04:32,841 --> 00:04:34,716
Are we to go?

36
00:04:35,385 --> 00:04:38,837
Would you deprive him the pleasure
of taking money from us?

37
00:04:41,349 --> 00:04:44,719
Oh, Lord, I'm so tired
I could sleep for a week.

38
00:04:47,272 --> 00:04:49,431
What if I have other plans for you?

39
00:05:20,138 --> 00:05:22,677
Granted, it don't look like much now.

40
00:05:22,849 --> 00:05:27,227
But there's a stream close by an'...
Sawle 'ave need of a blacksmith.

41
00:05:27,395 --> 00:05:29,555
This blacksmith?

42
00:05:30,357 --> 00:05:32,434
All in good time.

43
00:05:34,110 --> 00:05:37,563
"Work is the thing.

44
00:05:39,115 --> 00:05:40,659
Not drink, not despair.

45
00:05:40,825 --> 00:05:43,400
But build a thing, mend a thing...

46
00:05:43,578 --> 00:05:48,704
an' even if there's hell in your heart,
at the end of the day, ye'll feel better."

47
00:05:48,875 --> 00:05:50,418
So let's build.

48
00:05:57,133 --> 00:05:59,922
My daughter-in-law has always been unstable.

49
00:06:01,054 --> 00:06:04,638
Lately she has become more erratic than ever,

50
00:06:04,808 --> 00:06:08,593
and... I must tell you, I fear for the children.

51
00:06:10,522 --> 00:06:13,096
You agree it will be best for all concerned

52
00:06:13,275 --> 00:06:16,526
that when the child is born
she be removed from this house

53
00:06:16,695 --> 00:06:19,021
and committed to an asylum?

54
00:06:19,197 --> 00:06:21,606
Yes, Your Ladyship.

55
00:06:26,621 --> 00:06:29,872
I was saying to Dr Behenna,
we must hope for a boy.

56
00:06:30,792 --> 00:06:33,035
Girls are of no use to anyone.

57
00:06:36,172 --> 00:06:39,340
I wonder if you realise
how fortunate you are?

58
00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:44,467
Without the kindness of the Whitworths,
you'd be nothing but a common governess.

59
00:06:45,765 --> 00:06:49,550
And I was never in my life more happy
than when I was a governess.

60
00:07:05,201 --> 00:07:06,613
London suits you.

61
00:07:06,786 --> 00:07:09,409
And will shortly be at your feet.

62
00:07:09,581 --> 00:07:13,081
Tomorrow, the Warleggan party.
Have you decided what you'll wear?

63
00:07:13,918 --> 00:07:16,588
My best gown.
The one I wore to your wedding.

64
00:07:16,755 --> 00:07:18,629
Oh, that won't do at all.

65
00:07:18,798 --> 00:07:21,290
Don't despair, I have a solution.

66
00:07:22,052 --> 00:07:25,137
I mean to have you worshipped
by all who set eyes on you.

67
00:07:25,305 --> 00:07:27,595
Oh, I don't think I'd like that.

68
00:07:27,766 --> 00:07:31,301
My dear, we both know it happens
whether you like it or not!

69
00:07:45,325 --> 00:07:47,069
That's a very pretty petticoat!

70
00:07:47,243 --> 00:07:49,403
Should I wear my nightshirt
to keep you company?

71
00:07:49,579 --> 00:07:52,332
Oh, Ross, don't tease me!
Caroline had it altered for me.

72
00:07:52,499 --> 00:07:55,417
D'you really hate it?
Should I wear my old gown instead?

73
00:07:55,585 --> 00:07:57,413
And be miserable all night?

74
00:08:00,965 --> 00:08:03,208
I could never be miserable.

75
00:08:03,385 --> 00:08:05,093
You know how happy I am.

76
00:08:05,261 --> 00:08:08,465
- Why is that?
- Mm... Because of you.

77
00:08:09,432 --> 00:08:11,342
Because of us.

78
00:08:12,685 --> 00:08:14,726
How it's been since we came to London.

79
00:08:17,273 --> 00:08:19,184
Perhaps you'd consider a longer stay?

80
00:08:19,359 --> 00:08:22,562
We could send for the children
and find more spacious lodgings.

81
00:08:22,737 --> 00:08:25,027
- Oh, Ross, d'you really mean it?
- Yes.

82
00:08:25,198 --> 00:08:27,488
I'd like it beyond anything!

83
00:08:28,993 --> 00:08:31,320
And, for what it's worth...

84
00:08:33,123 --> 00:08:35,200
..I like the gown.

85
00:08:42,715 --> 00:08:45,124
The Honourable Miss Dullevan.

86
00:08:47,429 --> 00:08:49,173
Ma'am.

87
00:08:50,265 --> 00:08:51,594
Sir.

88
00:08:56,771 --> 00:09:00,188
Captain and Mrs Poldark.

89
00:09:05,613 --> 00:09:10,490
Well, he could have saved himself the expense
and donated it all to charity.

90
00:09:12,912 --> 00:09:14,989
But that would defeat the object.

91
00:09:15,165 --> 00:09:17,953
Demelza. You look wonderful.

92
00:09:18,126 --> 00:09:20,997
Admiral and Mrs Banister.

93
00:09:23,089 --> 00:09:25,130
You must be glad
to have her with you at last.

94
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:26,843
Yes.

95
00:09:31,347 --> 00:09:33,306
You couldn't know...

96
00:09:33,475 --> 00:09:37,094
I scarcely knew myself at the time but...

97
00:09:38,271 --> 00:09:42,270
In the aftermath of... a certain event,

98
00:09:42,442 --> 00:09:46,441
I thought to put distance
between myself and Demelza.

99
00:09:46,613 --> 00:09:48,571
To try to make sense of it all.

100
00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:50,318
And did you?

101
00:09:51,034 --> 00:09:52,494
In part.

102
00:09:53,244 --> 00:09:56,032
But distance creates
as many problems as it solves.

103
00:09:56,206 --> 00:09:57,867
Don't I know it!

104
00:09:59,667 --> 00:10:03,880
And now, I think, what will serve us better,
is to spend more time together.

105
00:10:04,047 --> 00:10:06,420
So despite everything, here we are...

106
00:10:06,591 --> 00:10:08,501
You know how she loves a party.

107
00:10:09,385 --> 00:10:15,010
Oh, the foundling hospital has long been
dear to my heart - and my wife's, of course.

108
00:10:15,183 --> 00:10:19,478
Everyone thinks of those poor,
fatherless, abandoned infants.

109
00:10:19,646 --> 00:10:23,229
- Elizabeth is with child?
- Had you not heard?

110
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:25,393
Of course. Why would you?

111
00:10:26,236 --> 00:10:27,695
Who's that?

112
00:10:27,862 --> 00:10:31,612
That is the scandalous
Captain Monk Adderley.

113
00:10:31,783 --> 00:10:35,484
My dear, you're a veritable goddess
and George is blessed amongst men.

114
00:10:35,662 --> 00:10:39,447
And, I assure you,
is entirely sensible of his good fortune.

115
00:10:40,792 --> 00:10:43,200
Whatever you do, do not take him seriously.

116
00:10:47,006 --> 00:10:48,667
Who's that with Poldark?

117
00:10:49,717 --> 00:10:53,633
His kitchen maid. Now his wife.

118
00:10:54,889 --> 00:10:57,761
The hair's a touch provincial,
but the rest is good.

119
00:10:57,934 --> 00:11:00,390
Doubtless she's been dressed in London.

120
00:11:01,104 --> 00:11:03,643
Then she must be undressed in London.

121
00:11:07,569 --> 00:11:09,646
Have you ventured yourself?

122
00:11:09,821 --> 00:11:12,692
Uh... My tastes are more refined.

123
00:11:14,325 --> 00:11:15,986
But if <i>you</i> have the stomach...

124
00:11:28,047 --> 00:11:29,958
Drommie, viens!

125
00:11:30,842 --> 00:11:33,001
There's a fellow I'd like you to meet.

126
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,677
My dear Poldark.

127
00:11:41,603 --> 00:11:44,308
May I present my ward,
Miss Andromeda Page.

128
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,064
- Delighted.
- And this must be <i>Mrs</i> Poldark?

129
00:11:48,234 --> 00:11:50,903
- Enchanté.
- Shall we...

130
00:11:51,738 --> 00:11:54,027
I'm as hungry as a cannibal.

131
00:11:55,366 --> 00:11:57,324
Shall we seek some refreshment?

132
00:11:57,493 --> 00:11:59,321
Oh, I'm... I'm sorry, sir. I'm engaged.

133
00:11:59,495 --> 00:12:01,572
- To whom?
- My husband.

134
00:12:04,459 --> 00:12:06,785
My dear, let me advise you.

135
00:12:06,961 --> 00:12:10,960
It is simply not the thing in London
for married couples to eat together.

136
00:12:12,008 --> 00:12:14,879
Oh... I did... I did not know.

137
00:12:15,678 --> 00:12:17,471
Your husband knows the form.

138
00:12:18,348 --> 00:12:19,463
Ross.

139
00:12:19,641 --> 00:12:22,808
Captain Adderley seems ferocious for food.

140
00:12:22,977 --> 00:12:24,805
Shall we eat together?

141
00:12:24,979 --> 00:12:26,807
By all means.

142
00:12:29,442 --> 00:12:31,732
So, you find me ferocious?

143
00:12:32,487 --> 00:12:36,532
- Is it my reputation which alarms you?
- I don't know of your reputation, sir.

144
00:12:36,699 --> 00:12:38,609
Two things I like best.

145
00:12:38,785 --> 00:12:41,656
To fight and to make love.

146
00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:43,870
With the same person?

147
00:12:44,582 --> 00:12:47,454
No... but on the same day.

148
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,459
One whets the appetite for the other.

149
00:12:52,965 --> 00:12:55,006
Bear up. It will soon be over.

150
00:12:55,176 --> 00:12:58,511
I assure you I'm having a splendid time.

151
00:12:59,263 --> 00:13:02,598
Not fearing for Mrs Coad's quinsy?
Or Nan Bartle's scarlet fever?

152
00:13:02,767 --> 00:13:04,595
My locum is an excellent man.

153
00:13:04,769 --> 00:13:08,684
Well, some of the tabbies have been doubting
I actually have a husband.

154
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:12,024
I must be allowed to flaunt you
for all you're worth.

155
00:13:24,831 --> 00:13:27,453
Admiring my buttons?

156
00:13:27,625 --> 00:13:29,702
Observe in each a lock of hair.

157
00:13:30,420 --> 00:13:32,544
A token from Miss Page?

158
00:13:33,256 --> 00:13:35,333
A Lieutenant Framfield...

159
00:13:36,718 --> 00:13:38,296
..and a Captain Polger.

160
00:13:38,469 --> 00:13:40,961
Both despatched in a duel.

161
00:13:43,015 --> 00:13:45,934
Of course there have been others.

162
00:13:46,894 --> 00:13:50,229
But one does not usually linger
to collect souvenirs.

163
00:13:50,898 --> 00:13:54,019
Is not the punishment
for duelling... hanging?

164
00:13:55,737 --> 00:13:57,398
I plead benefit of clergy.

165
00:13:57,572 --> 00:13:59,446
Are you a clergyman?

166
00:14:01,075 --> 00:14:04,944
A cleric. I read and write.

167
00:14:05,121 --> 00:14:08,906
Ah, here's Poldark, with my little Drommie.

168
00:14:09,834 --> 00:14:11,911
Delicious body.

169
00:14:14,172 --> 00:14:16,296
Drommie's, I mean.

170
00:14:17,258 --> 00:14:19,667
Though I venture Poldark's
has much to recommend it?

171
00:14:23,222 --> 00:14:26,094
- Are you not afraid for your wife?
- Not in the least.

172
00:14:26,267 --> 00:14:28,426
She's a miner's daughter.

173
00:14:28,603 --> 00:14:31,806
- Lord, how mortifying!
- Not for me.

174
00:14:33,232 --> 00:14:35,440
I view her heritage with nothing but pride.

175
00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:38,695
But how can you be sure
she won't disgrace herself?

176
00:14:38,863 --> 00:14:40,903
Being one of the vulgars.

177
00:14:41,073 --> 00:14:43,233
Are we not all vulgars?

178
00:14:44,243 --> 00:14:48,906
Do we not all share the same needs...
hungers... pains?

179
00:14:49,081 --> 00:14:51,656
Just what my father would have said.

180
00:14:51,834 --> 00:14:53,911
But then he was a merchant.

181
00:14:54,712 --> 00:14:56,706
Challenged me to a duel once.

182
00:14:56,881 --> 00:15:00,132
I refused.
On the grounds that he wasn't a gentleman.

183
00:15:02,804 --> 00:15:04,714
Mrs Poldark, shall we take a turn?

184
00:15:09,227 --> 00:15:10,936
Yes, if you like.

185
00:15:26,369 --> 00:15:27,829
How are you, Demelza?

186
00:15:27,995 --> 00:15:30,238
I thank you. I'm well.
And yourself?

187
00:15:32,250 --> 00:15:33,793
Surviving.

188
00:15:41,843 --> 00:15:46,007
- You're enchanting.
- You're very kind.

189
00:15:46,180 --> 00:15:49,266
As I hope you will be -
when we're finally alone.

190
00:15:49,433 --> 00:15:52,601
I shall wait upon you.
When will your husband be out?

191
00:15:53,604 --> 00:15:55,432
When <i>I</i> am.

192
00:15:55,606 --> 00:15:59,190
Adderley... you must return to Miss Page.

193
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,318
She's missing your attentions.

194
00:16:01,487 --> 00:16:05,735
Do you know, Poldark, there's only
one person I ever take instructions from?

195
00:16:05,908 --> 00:16:07,320
That is myself.

196
00:16:11,622 --> 00:16:15,288
Ross... Captain Adderley
has kindly suggested he wait on us.

197
00:16:15,459 --> 00:16:18,461
Which... would be delightful,
would it not?

198
00:16:19,422 --> 00:16:24,215
But perhaps we should meet elsewhere.
For... For tea... or for cards.

199
00:16:24,385 --> 00:16:28,300
- An excellent thought.
- Ross, Mrs Gower's asking for you.

200
00:16:30,016 --> 00:16:33,682
I shall send a note, Captain Adderley,
confirming arrangements.

201
00:16:33,853 --> 00:16:35,313
Shall we say Thursday?

202
00:16:50,119 --> 00:16:52,077
Did she bite?

203
00:16:52,246 --> 00:16:55,082
- Nibbled.
- I doubt that. She's a virtuous woman.

204
00:16:55,249 --> 00:16:58,999
And within a week
she will <i>not</i> be a virtuous woman.

205
00:17:02,465 --> 00:17:04,542
Care to wager on it?

206
00:17:07,261 --> 00:17:09,219
Hundred guineas to ten?

207
00:17:09,388 --> 00:17:14,051
Longer odds I'm not to prepared to offer,
for if you win, you'll have all the fun.

208
00:17:14,810 --> 00:17:16,222
No.

209
00:17:17,605 --> 00:17:22,315
I perceive that if I win...
it's <i>you</i> who'll be the more satisfied.

210
00:17:38,793 --> 00:17:41,462
Captain Adderley is a strange creature.

211
00:17:42,505 --> 00:17:44,997
I think I'm a little afeared of him.

212
00:17:45,174 --> 00:17:47,583
Then why agree to see more of him?

213
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,837
Did I do wrong?

214
00:17:50,012 --> 00:17:52,421
I'd no wish to be discourteous.

215
00:17:53,724 --> 00:17:56,263
Caroline said not to take him seriously.

216
00:17:57,019 --> 00:18:00,638
Well, after Thursday,
let's hope we've seen the last of him.

217
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:14,569
- Here's Papa on his throne!
- Is he a king?

218
00:18:14,745 --> 00:18:18,080
Of the most tiresome constituency in Britain.

219
00:18:19,542 --> 00:18:21,500
Come and look at my horse!

220
00:18:21,669 --> 00:18:24,125
Wilbraham refuses to resign his seat.

221
00:18:24,296 --> 00:18:28,081
So you cannot replace him with Adderley,
nor direct him to vote as you wish?

222
00:18:28,259 --> 00:18:30,134
Precisely. And here...

223
00:18:30,302 --> 00:18:31,762
40 of the poorest rate-payers

224
00:18:31,929 --> 00:18:35,381
presume to demand favours
in exchange for their vote!

225
00:18:35,558 --> 00:18:39,853
I've no intention of pandering to them.
I'm tempted to demolish their hovels altogether!

226
00:18:40,021 --> 00:18:42,310
That would not be popular.

227
00:18:42,481 --> 00:18:45,400
Unless you housed them elsewhere...

228
00:18:46,318 --> 00:18:48,941
Outside the borough?

229
00:18:49,113 --> 00:18:51,439
And no longer able to hold me to ransom.

230
00:18:51,615 --> 00:18:55,151
Some derelict cottages,
bought for a pittance, cheaply repaired?

231
00:18:55,327 --> 00:18:57,321
Then no-one could accuse me of inhumanity.

232
00:18:57,496 --> 00:19:00,831
In fact, you could argue
you're actually improving their lot.

233
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,159
Mama should've been a politician.

234
00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:34,529
What are the chances?
That's my lucky number.

235
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:36,908
- Captain Adderley...
- Monk.

236
00:19:37,078 --> 00:19:40,494
That name seems not apt
for a man of your disposition.

237
00:19:43,709 --> 00:19:45,999
You have an agile tongue...

238
00:19:48,297 --> 00:19:51,418
..which I shall know
what to do with in due course.

239
00:19:52,134 --> 00:19:55,504
Next week, there's bound to be
a late sitting in the House.

240
00:19:55,679 --> 00:19:58,468
- Will you be present?
- God forbid!

241
00:19:58,641 --> 00:20:02,639
But your husband will.
Which is most convenient.

242
00:20:02,812 --> 00:20:04,307
For us.

243
00:20:09,527 --> 00:20:13,656
Does Adderley suppose I shall stand by
and watch him cuckold me?

244
00:20:15,282 --> 00:20:17,739
You think he has the slightest chance?

245
00:20:28,921 --> 00:20:30,085
Ross?

246
00:20:31,257 --> 00:20:33,583
No, I imagine not.

247
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,220
But you do imagine.

248
00:20:38,472 --> 00:20:42,886
Because of Hugh,
you have all manner of suspicion.

249
00:20:45,729 --> 00:20:48,566
As if I would even look twice
at such a man as Adderley!

250
00:20:48,732 --> 00:20:51,521
- Then make it clear that you would not.
- How?

251
00:20:51,694 --> 00:20:56,357
By not allowing him to paw every bone
in your arm from wrist to shoulder?

252
00:20:56,532 --> 00:20:58,193
Ross, what am I to do?

253
00:20:58,367 --> 00:21:01,867
I'm in London for the first time -
unacquainted with its ways.

254
00:21:02,037 --> 00:21:06,784
A man pays me compliments -
an educated, well-bred, member of parliament.

255
00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:11,165
Do I turn my back and refuse to answer?

256
00:21:11,338 --> 00:21:14,175
Or do I smack his face and spit on his shoe?

257
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,637
Forgive me.

258
00:21:28,397 --> 00:21:30,640
That was unfair of me.

259
00:21:30,816 --> 00:21:32,525
Yes, it was!

260
00:21:41,243 --> 00:21:43,451
It won't happen again.

261
00:21:53,005 --> 00:21:56,090
First a pocket borough...
now a pocket MP!

262
00:21:56,258 --> 00:21:58,584
- Roger Wilbraham resigned?
- He did not.

263
00:21:58,761 --> 00:22:01,798
But in exchange for certain... inducements,

264
00:22:01,972 --> 00:22:04,215
he has agreed to vote as I direct.

265
00:22:04,391 --> 00:22:06,930
And at a cheaper rate
than I would have paid Adderley.

266
00:22:07,102 --> 00:22:08,763
Papa is very clever!

267
00:22:10,522 --> 00:22:12,516
He most certainly is!

268
00:22:30,167 --> 00:22:32,410
Oh, Ross, how lovely!

269
00:22:33,087 --> 00:22:36,587
Lark's Heel, Mignonette...
Love-Lies-Bleeding...

270
00:22:36,757 --> 00:22:38,834
Some I've never seen before.

271
00:22:39,009 --> 00:22:41,382
Perhaps you should read the note.

272
00:22:44,890 --> 00:22:48,640
- Captain Adderley?
- Shall I throw them in the gutter?

273
00:22:50,813 --> 00:22:52,522
Oh, you think?

274
00:22:53,148 --> 00:22:54,692
But... could we not keep 'em?

275
00:23:00,864 --> 00:23:02,324
As you wish.

276
00:23:24,263 --> 00:23:26,470
I only thought 't'would be a sin to waste 'em.

277
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,010
But... now I wonder,
did it give Ross the wrong notion?

278
00:23:30,185 --> 00:23:33,638
Ross is no fool. He could hardly
feel threatened by an idiot like Adderley.

279
00:23:33,814 --> 00:23:35,855
- You think?
- There's no comparison.

280
00:23:36,608 --> 00:23:39,527
For instance, at this very moment,
where is Ross?

281
00:23:39,695 --> 00:23:41,653
- In the House.
- Exactly.

282
00:23:41,822 --> 00:23:43,816
Doing his duty at an important vote.

283
00:23:43,991 --> 00:23:47,242
Whereas Adderley will be
making a nuisance of himself

284
00:23:47,411 --> 00:23:50,662
in some disreputable
establishment or other.

285
00:24:00,424 --> 00:24:01,967
Welcome, my dear.

286
00:24:04,261 --> 00:24:06,338
You've kept me waiting, but no matter.

287
00:24:06,513 --> 00:24:08,637
The pleasure will be all the greater.

288
00:24:09,183 --> 00:24:11,390
- How did you...
- Mrs Parkins.

289
00:24:12,102 --> 00:24:15,104
I said I was your brother.

290
00:24:15,272 --> 00:24:20,480
I'm sorry, Captain Adderley,
but... I must ask you to leave.

291
00:24:21,612 --> 00:24:24,068
I see my flowers have pride of place.

292
00:24:27,951 --> 00:24:29,910
Captain Adderley, I'm a married woman.

293
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:32,405
Oh, yes, I'm quite aware.

294
00:24:32,581 --> 00:24:34,242
And I've stationed a man outside,

295
00:24:34,416 --> 00:24:39,755
who'll delay your husband
long enough to let me slip away.

296
00:24:41,632 --> 00:24:45,132
So... shall we come to the matter?

297
00:24:46,387 --> 00:24:48,380
Or would you prefer to converse awhile?

298
00:24:48,555 --> 00:24:50,763
Shall we talk of...

299
00:24:51,934 --> 00:24:53,892
..the men I've killed?

300
00:24:54,061 --> 00:24:57,264
- Or the women I've loved?
- Must we speak of love at all?

301
00:24:57,439 --> 00:24:58,934
Oh, I think so.

302
00:24:59,691 --> 00:25:03,856
For I intend to instruct you
most delicately in it.

303
00:25:06,573 --> 00:25:09,148
You see? How swiftly I arouse you?

304
00:25:09,326 --> 00:25:11,403
- You flatter yourself.
- Do I?

305
00:25:13,122 --> 00:25:17,831
Let me assure you...
this is no trivial fancy.

306
00:25:19,837 --> 00:25:22,957
I find you utterly bewitching.

307
00:25:23,882 --> 00:25:25,543
Tell me...

308
00:25:26,218 --> 00:25:28,046
Do you cry out when a man takes you?

309
00:25:28,220 --> 00:25:29,680
I must ask you to leave!

310
00:25:29,847 --> 00:25:31,887
Have you ever had another man
besides your husband?

311
00:25:32,057 --> 00:25:34,466
- Sir, are you a gentleman?
- I hope so.

312
00:25:34,643 --> 00:25:36,637
Then, forgive me,
I am unsure of London manners,

313
00:25:36,812 --> 00:25:39,518
but is it not a gentleman's duty
to withdraw when a lady asks him?

314
00:25:39,690 --> 00:25:42,727
Only when the gentleman
has already been in.

315
00:25:48,449 --> 00:25:50,857
Mrs Parkins will show you out.

316
00:25:59,168 --> 00:26:02,253
- May I wait on you some other time?
- I think not.

317
00:26:05,299 --> 00:26:06,842
I see.

318
00:26:07,634 --> 00:26:10,173
It's not me you're afraid of,
but your husband.

319
00:26:10,846 --> 00:26:12,970
- Does he beat you?
- Frequently.

320
00:26:13,515 --> 00:26:17,099
When his arm gets tired,
tell him to send for me.

321
00:26:18,562 --> 00:26:20,971
Good night... ma'am.

322
00:26:26,236 --> 00:26:28,811
- You think I encouraged him.
- Do you think you did?

323
00:26:28,989 --> 00:26:30,568
I don't know, Ross.
Since the ball,

324
00:26:30,741 --> 00:26:33,944
I can't rightly say if anything I do
is right or wrong.

325
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,077
What must I do, Ross?

326
00:26:36,788 --> 00:26:38,866
How must I behave?

327
00:26:40,042 --> 00:26:42,119
You know very well how to behave.

328
00:27:33,345 --> 00:27:35,671
Sir... You risk losing your seat.

329
00:27:35,847 --> 00:27:38,256
- Would you guard it for me?
- Certainly.

330
00:27:45,607 --> 00:27:47,268
This seat is bespoke.

331
00:27:47,442 --> 00:27:49,519
Well, now it is.

332
00:27:53,073 --> 00:27:56,858
You're a relative novice, Poldark,
so let me advise you.

333
00:27:57,536 --> 00:28:00,822
There's no such thing in the House
as "my" seat.

334
00:28:03,625 --> 00:28:09,332
Is there such a thing as "my" gloves?
Because you appear to be sitting on them.

335
00:28:09,506 --> 00:28:11,049
My dear, you're mistook.

336
00:28:12,718 --> 00:28:17,428
Why would I wish to touch
any of your worn possessions?

337
00:28:38,702 --> 00:28:40,494
I do beg your pardon.

338
00:28:42,706 --> 00:28:46,076
My gloves were indeed beneath you.

339
00:28:48,503 --> 00:28:50,793
Or was it the other way round?

340
00:29:05,270 --> 00:29:08,936
Sir, the insult you paid me in the House...

341
00:29:09,107 --> 00:29:11,943
was of a nature which brooks no apology.

342
00:29:14,863 --> 00:29:19,822
I therefore desire you to meet me
at dawn in Hyde Park on Thursday...

343
00:29:19,993 --> 00:29:22,153
with a brace of pistols.

344
00:29:25,123 --> 00:29:27,496
My second will be John Craven...

345
00:29:28,418 --> 00:29:30,163
..and I desire this matter be kept...

346
00:29:30,337 --> 00:29:33,873
"..secret for reasons which will be plain to you".
Well, it's absurd!

347
00:29:34,925 --> 00:29:36,883
Over a brief skirmish in the House?

348
00:29:37,052 --> 00:29:38,761
Obviously, you'll ignore it.

349
00:29:38,929 --> 00:29:40,839
I've already accepted.

350
00:29:41,682 --> 00:29:44,138
Ross, are you mad?
The man's a renowned duellist.

351
00:29:44,309 --> 00:29:45,852
- He's killed five men!
- So have I.

352
00:29:46,019 --> 00:29:49,354
- In a duel? With pistols?
- I will practise tomorrow.

353
00:29:51,858 --> 00:29:54,018
Of course you know why I'm here?

354
00:29:54,736 --> 00:29:56,445
To ask me to be your second?
I accept.

355
00:29:56,613 --> 00:29:58,156
- Thank you.
- Then I have the right

356
00:29:58,323 --> 00:30:02,369
to use my best endeavours to have
this whole sorry nonsense called off.

357
00:30:04,496 --> 00:30:07,783
On what grounds
would you agree to withdraw?

358
00:30:07,958 --> 00:30:09,868
Ross, for God's sake!

359
00:30:10,043 --> 00:30:12,749
- Does Demelza know?
- No. Nor must Caroline.

360
00:30:13,630 --> 00:30:16,205
Tomorrow I plan a day of distractions.

361
00:30:16,383 --> 00:30:19,338
Demelza will be so tired
she'll sleep late the morning after.

362
00:30:19,511 --> 00:30:21,635
Ross, I beg you, reconsider.

363
00:30:22,347 --> 00:30:23,973
These affairs can never be hushed up.

364
00:30:24,141 --> 00:30:28,305
And if your involvement is even suspected,
you would lose everything.

365
00:30:46,329 --> 00:30:48,489
The entire situation is absurd.

366
00:30:50,125 --> 00:30:53,376
Do you think you could
persuade Adderley to withdraw?

367
00:30:53,545 --> 00:30:55,586
Do you think you could persuade Poldark?

368
00:32:06,910 --> 00:32:10,778
Ross, we must take Demelza home.
We've completely exhausted her.

369
00:32:10,956 --> 00:32:13,282
Yes. Quite right.

370
00:32:14,543 --> 00:32:16,417
I... spoke with Craven.

371
00:32:17,170 --> 00:32:20,373
Adderley will not withdraw.
If anything, he's more stubborn than you.

372
00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:22,092
I could have told you that.

373
00:32:22,259 --> 00:32:24,632
Ross... Go to him.

374
00:32:25,470 --> 00:32:27,630
Tell him you've no interest in false heroics.

375
00:32:27,806 --> 00:32:29,550
You're a veteran of the American War.

376
00:32:29,724 --> 00:32:33,225
If he calls you a coward,
people would only laugh at him.

377
00:34:22,671 --> 00:34:25,079
Sleep well?

378
00:34:25,256 --> 00:34:26,752
Like a baby!

379
00:34:26,925 --> 00:34:31,173
Knowing that my dearest friend
is about to indulge in an act of utter madness!

380
00:34:31,346 --> 00:34:33,505
Let's not overdramatise, Dwight.

381
00:34:34,182 --> 00:34:39,557
But... if his aim is better than mine -
which is likely -

382
00:34:41,189 --> 00:34:44,310
may I ask that you and Caroline
take care of Demelza and the children?

383
00:34:44,484 --> 00:34:46,643
There is still time
to come to an accommodation.

384
00:34:46,820 --> 00:34:51,648
As God is my judge,
I thought you'd scuttled back to Cornwall!

385
00:34:51,825 --> 00:34:55,408
Captain Adderley.
No-one knows of this encounter but ourselves.

386
00:34:55,578 --> 00:34:58,070
You have nothing to lose
and everything to gain

387
00:34:58,248 --> 00:35:02,460
by looking on it as a superficial quarrel
not worthy of bloodshed.

388
00:35:02,627 --> 00:35:06,377
Shake hands and both go home
to a hearty breakfast.

389
00:35:13,471 --> 00:35:15,180
Very well.

390
00:35:15,932 --> 00:35:18,507
If Captain Poldark will apologise now...

391
00:35:19,352 --> 00:35:23,766
..and undertake to send me a written apology
couched in suitable terms...

392
00:35:25,817 --> 00:35:27,858
..I might consider it.

393
00:35:28,028 --> 00:35:30,187
Though I should think very ill of him if he did.

394
00:35:31,281 --> 00:35:33,025
Well?

395
00:35:34,534 --> 00:35:36,362
Ross?

396
00:35:39,581 --> 00:35:42,702
My only regret
is that I apologised in the first place.

397
00:35:44,878 --> 00:35:46,373
We're wasting time.

398
00:35:46,546 --> 00:35:51,043
It must all be over before the city wakes.
Have you your pistols, gentlemen?

399
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,308
Forgive me, my love.

400
00:36:23,958 --> 00:36:25,833
Ross?

401
00:36:28,338 --> 00:36:30,331
It's time.

402
00:36:30,507 --> 00:36:33,877
A moment.
No-one knows of this duel but we four?

403
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,472
- Yes.
- So if I should wound or kill you,

404
00:36:37,639 --> 00:36:42,302
I shall waste no time inquiring after your health
but shall ride away as fast as I can.

405
00:36:42,477 --> 00:36:46,262
If... by mischance, you should injure me...

406
00:36:47,107 --> 00:36:49,100
..I suggest you do likewise.

407
00:36:49,275 --> 00:36:52,396
And the injured party's
been "set upon by footpads".

408
00:36:52,570 --> 00:36:54,694
- Agreed.
- I should hate to languish in jail

409
00:36:54,864 --> 00:36:56,657
for shedding your blood, my dear.

410
00:36:57,659 --> 00:37:00,032
Gentlemen, if you please.

411
00:37:04,415 --> 00:37:05,827
Fourteen paces.

412
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,626
I shall count.

413
00:37:11,798 --> 00:37:13,507
One...

414
00:37:13,675 --> 00:37:15,004
two...

415
00:37:15,176 --> 00:37:16,671
three...

416
00:37:16,845 --> 00:37:18,388
four...

417
00:37:18,555 --> 00:37:20,382
five...

418
00:37:20,557 --> 00:37:21,637
six...

419
00:37:21,808 --> 00:37:22,888
seven...

420
00:37:23,059 --> 00:37:24,519
eight...

421
00:37:24,686 --> 00:37:25,932
nine...

422
00:37:26,104 --> 00:37:27,184
ten...

423
00:37:27,355 --> 00:37:29,645
11... 12...

424
00:37:29,816 --> 00:37:31,015
13...

425
00:37:31,192 --> 00:37:32,937
14.

426
00:37:36,698 --> 00:37:38,775
Attend.

427
00:37:41,244 --> 00:37:42,443
Present.

428
00:37:48,459 --> 00:37:49,871
Fire!

429
00:38:00,513 --> 00:38:01,759
Enough!

430
00:38:01,931 --> 00:38:04,055
Honour is satisfied!

431
00:38:04,225 --> 00:38:06,895
Lay down your pistols and go home now.

432
00:38:17,655 --> 00:38:19,400
Ross!

433
00:38:20,116 --> 00:38:22,691
- Adderley. Is he...
- Dr Enys! Help me!

434
00:38:22,869 --> 00:38:24,744
Go! Go to him! Go.

435
00:38:24,913 --> 00:38:28,116
Get something round your arm
or you'll bleed to death!

436
00:38:45,266 --> 00:38:47,224
Blasted pistols!

437
00:38:47,977 --> 00:38:49,805
Damn near missed you altogether!

438
00:38:49,979 --> 00:38:51,973
- Where's Craven gone?
- To get a carriage.

439
00:38:52,148 --> 00:38:54,770
- Get off. As agreed.
- I'll stay till the carriage comes.

440
00:38:54,943 --> 00:38:56,438
You idiot!

441
00:38:56,611 --> 00:38:58,688
No time for heroics.

442
00:39:00,406 --> 00:39:02,281
Wish I'd shot your head off.

443
00:39:02,450 --> 00:39:05,618
Can you ride home?
Then go! Craven might bring the Watch.

444
00:39:05,787 --> 00:39:08,908
- I'll stay till the carriage arrives.
- Damn you, Poldark.

445
00:39:09,082 --> 00:39:11,075
Damn and blast you to all eternity.

446
00:39:15,797 --> 00:39:17,375
Adderley?

447
00:39:20,969 --> 00:39:22,630
Hold this.

448
00:39:23,346 --> 00:39:24,426
- I'll come with you.
- And I.

449
00:39:24,597 --> 00:39:27,683
No. Fair's fair.
Conditions have been observed.

450
00:39:27,850 --> 00:39:30,342
- Go home and send for a physician.
- Can you manage?

451
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,522
I'll come to you presently. Help me.

452
00:39:36,693 --> 00:39:38,402
Ross, get away from this place.

453
00:39:38,569 --> 00:39:40,943
The Watch will be here any minute!

454
00:39:42,824 --> 00:39:44,284
Under the arms. Quickly.

455
00:39:52,125 --> 00:39:53,536
Judas! Ross!

456
00:39:53,710 --> 00:39:55,121
Drink this.

457
00:39:55,295 --> 00:39:57,668
- Dwight!
- Adderley. How is he?

458
00:39:57,839 --> 00:40:00,046
I extracted the ball.
It was lodged in the groin.

459
00:40:00,216 --> 00:40:02,091
Will he live?

460
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,045
Demelza, fetch me some water.

461
00:40:10,977 --> 00:40:12,769
The ball's hit a splinter off the radius.

462
00:40:12,937 --> 00:40:15,394
I'll take that piece of bone out.
Have you brandy?

463
00:40:15,565 --> 00:40:18,271
- Forget the brandy. Do what you must.
- As you wish.

464
00:40:18,443 --> 00:40:20,650
Stay... very still.

465
00:40:32,457 --> 00:40:34,534
Stay still.

466
00:40:42,300 --> 00:40:44,009
It's done.

467
00:40:46,763 --> 00:40:49,089
Demelza, you look as if you would faint.

468
00:40:49,891 --> 00:40:51,303
Pour yourself a brandy.

469
00:41:08,576 --> 00:41:10,155
To the Prime Minister.

470
00:41:10,328 --> 00:41:11,740
Requesting an audience.

471
00:41:11,913 --> 00:41:14,072
But how could you ever hope
for such a thing?

472
00:41:14,248 --> 00:41:16,289
Because, my dear, he's in need of votes.

473
00:41:16,459 --> 00:41:18,916
And I now have two to place at his disposal.

474
00:41:20,171 --> 00:41:23,623
Though, I suppose I must now
break the bad news to Adderley.

475
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,549
That he must keep to
his less lucrative seat in Shropshire?

476
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,923
He has a strong constitution.
I daresay he'll cope.

477
00:41:35,144 --> 00:41:37,601
Why did Ross do this?

478
00:41:44,362 --> 00:41:46,652
You know men and their codes of honour.

479
00:41:46,823 --> 00:41:49,445
Ross would have lost respect
had he not fought.

480
00:41:49,617 --> 00:41:51,575
What else might he have lost?

481
00:41:51,744 --> 00:41:53,537
His family?

482
00:41:53,704 --> 00:41:55,248
His career? His life?

483
00:41:56,916 --> 00:41:58,459
Is this my fault?

484
00:41:59,669 --> 00:42:01,212
Did they not quarrel over me?

485
00:42:03,381 --> 00:42:06,087
Ross and I were happy.
I was... I was excited.

486
00:42:06,259 --> 00:42:08,928
Everything was new but...

487
00:42:09,095 --> 00:42:11,385
maybe I was freer than I should've been.

488
00:42:11,556 --> 00:42:15,008
Maybe I'm too free everywhere -
my manners too open.

489
00:42:15,184 --> 00:42:16,763
Judas, why did I come?

490
00:42:16,936 --> 00:42:21,101
My dear, you might visit London 20 times
without this happening.

491
00:42:21,899 --> 00:42:24,189
Take heart it's no worse.

492
00:42:29,991 --> 00:42:32,280
Stay here. It may be the Watch.

493
00:42:43,921 --> 00:42:45,714
- Adderley is dead.
- Dear God.

494
00:42:45,882 --> 00:42:46,962
Judas!

495
00:42:51,762 --> 00:42:57,303
He's given out that he was practising in the park
with pistols and accidentally shot himself.

496
00:43:00,605 --> 00:43:05,232
He asked Craven to write that you were
a damned fool to stay in the park

497
00:43:05,401 --> 00:43:08,189
until the carriage came -
for now there is a witness.

498
00:43:08,362 --> 00:43:11,199
Adderley paid him ten guineas
to stop his mouth.

499
00:43:11,365 --> 00:43:14,367
Therefore you now owe Adderley that sum.

500
00:43:14,535 --> 00:43:17,288
He wishes for the debt
to be paid to George Warleggan.

501
00:43:17,455 --> 00:43:18,998
In settlement of a wager.

502
00:43:20,041 --> 00:43:21,501
Concerning myself?

503
00:43:23,085 --> 00:43:24,878
He does not say.

504
00:43:36,015 --> 00:43:37,510
Why the sombre looks?

505
00:43:37,683 --> 00:43:39,511
Did somebody die?

506
00:43:40,311 --> 00:43:42,055
<i>"Death by misadventure"?</i>

507
00:43:42,772 --> 00:43:44,315
- So an accident.
- Of course not!

508
00:43:44,482 --> 00:43:45,894
The inquest verdict must

509
00:43:46,067 --> 00:43:48,393
- and will be overturned.
- On what grounds?

510
00:43:48,569 --> 00:43:52,817
On the grounds that he was murdered...
in a duel... by Ross.

511
00:43:52,990 --> 00:43:55,150
- Do we know this?
- What we know

512
00:43:55,326 --> 00:43:58,696
is that Ross is wounded
and confined to his chamber.

513
00:43:58,871 --> 00:44:01,790
What further proof is required?
Why has he not been arrested?

514
00:44:01,958 --> 00:44:04,710
And yet - forgive me, dear -

515
00:44:04,877 --> 00:44:07,796
I've as much wish as you
to see justice done, but...

516
00:44:08,548 --> 00:44:11,253
..has anyone actually
accused Ross of anything?

517
00:44:11,425 --> 00:44:12,837
- Did Adderley?
- No...

518
00:44:13,010 --> 00:44:15,134
He claimed his wounds were self-inflicted.

519
00:44:15,304 --> 00:44:18,674
And that his great friend Craven
"just happened to be passing".

520
00:44:18,849 --> 00:44:22,682
And that Enys was miraculously strolling
in the park at the same ungodly hour!

521
00:44:22,853 --> 00:44:24,931
- What more can be said?
- The carriage driver!

522
00:44:25,106 --> 00:44:29,057
- What attempts have been made to trace him?
- My dear...

523
00:44:29,235 --> 00:44:31,478
Why do you care?

524
00:44:31,654 --> 00:44:33,813
There's nothing to be done.

525
00:44:33,990 --> 00:44:38,202
As I understand it, once a verdict
has been reached, it cannot be overturned.

526
00:44:40,371 --> 00:44:41,617
No.

527
00:44:47,044 --> 00:44:50,746
Unless there is fresh evidence.

528
00:44:57,930 --> 00:45:04,219
You will find me two men who are willing to
undertake enquiries of a clandestine nature.

529
00:45:04,395 --> 00:45:06,768
There will be a significant reward.

530
00:45:24,498 --> 00:45:29,292
Dr Behenna believes you have
suffered greatly since your miscarriage.

531
00:45:33,299 --> 00:45:35,174
He's mistaken.

532
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,045
I believe it was for the best.

533
00:45:39,972 --> 00:45:42,215
I could not have loved the child.

534
00:45:42,933 --> 00:45:45,686
I would have been prevented from loving it.

535
00:45:48,731 --> 00:45:52,564
It would have been taken from me
as John Conan has been.

536
00:45:53,235 --> 00:45:55,774
Dr Behenna believes you have lost your wits

537
00:45:55,946 --> 00:45:59,114
and has arranged for you to go to a place
where they can be recovered.

538
00:46:00,743 --> 00:46:02,950
How very kind of him, ma'am.

539
00:46:34,694 --> 00:46:37,186
- You know who that is?
- Sir John Mitford.

540
00:46:37,363 --> 00:46:39,238
- The Attorney General.
- My uncle and he

541
00:46:39,407 --> 00:46:41,566
were at the Inns of Court together.

542
00:46:42,284 --> 00:46:44,077
Introduce me.

543
00:46:45,162 --> 00:46:47,571
And what do you make of this sad demise

544
00:46:47,748 --> 00:46:50,999
of our promising young politician,
Captain Monk Adderley?

545
00:46:51,168 --> 00:46:52,747
A particular friend of ours.

546
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,290
And to think of his being
so callously murdered...

547
00:46:56,465 --> 00:46:58,459
I believe the verdict was "misadventure".

548
00:46:58,634 --> 00:47:00,462
Yes, my dear, but no-one believes that.

549
00:47:00,636 --> 00:47:03,508
Oh, you mean this erm...
this story of a duel?

550
00:47:04,390 --> 00:47:07,261
- Yes, what's the other fellow's name?
- Poldark.

551
00:47:07,435 --> 00:47:10,805
- A despicable creature.
- Yes, but then so was Adderley.

552
00:47:11,522 --> 00:47:14,310
Pity they didn't kill each other, eh?

553
00:47:14,483 --> 00:47:16,276
Well, sir, they did not, and...

554
00:47:16,444 --> 00:47:19,149
and should Poldark now go free,
without even being charged?

555
00:47:19,321 --> 00:47:22,027
My dear, can you expect Sir John
to pursue every criminal?

556
00:47:22,199 --> 00:47:27,158
In any case, there's no suggestion
this Poldark fellow didn't shoot him in fair fight.

557
00:47:27,329 --> 00:47:28,990
But... duelling is illegal, sir.

558
00:47:29,165 --> 00:47:32,202
The law decrees it differs not one jot
from ordinary murder.

559
00:47:32,376 --> 00:47:35,663
Yes, as it happens, sir,
I am acquainted with the law.

560
00:47:35,838 --> 00:47:39,006
If a man is killed in a duel,
his opponent shall be indicted for murder.

561
00:47:39,175 --> 00:47:41,085
The law, however, demands evidence.

562
00:47:41,260 --> 00:47:46,967
Rumour and suspicion are notoriously
unreliable when they go into the witness box.

563
00:47:47,141 --> 00:47:52,302
When you have more to go on
than drawing-room gossip... do let me know.

564
00:48:01,322 --> 00:48:06,317
Well, my friend, it appears you will not,
after all, be challenging Tholly to a hook-fight!

565
00:48:06,494 --> 00:48:07,609
Oh, Dwight, thank God!

566
00:48:07,787 --> 00:48:12,995
But... if you'll take my advice,
as soon as you're fit to travel, return to Cornwall.

567
00:48:13,167 --> 00:48:15,836
The law could move against you
if witnesses come to light.

568
00:48:16,003 --> 00:48:18,625
But it will easier do so here
than 300 miles away.

569
00:48:18,798 --> 00:48:21,799
- Heed him, Ross.
- I appreciate your concern.

570
00:48:21,967 --> 00:48:23,760
- But?
- If I flee,

571
00:48:23,928 --> 00:48:27,262
it will seem to confirm my guilt,
so I will remain here.

572
00:48:27,973 --> 00:48:29,303
Hello?

573
00:48:30,726 --> 00:48:32,102
What's this I hear?

574
00:48:32,269 --> 00:48:35,307
Uncle Ross has been
shooting off his own hand?

575
00:48:38,859 --> 00:48:42,027
It appears I'm not the only Poldark
who knows how to misbehave.

576
00:48:43,906 --> 00:48:45,946
Morwenna?

577
00:48:53,791 --> 00:48:55,915
Good riddance.

578
00:49:10,808 --> 00:49:11,971
Drake?

579
00:49:28,742 --> 00:49:30,819
I came because...

580
00:49:32,454 --> 00:49:35,124
..I want to explain...

581
00:49:35,291 --> 00:49:37,747
why I shunned you after Osborne died.

582
00:49:37,918 --> 00:49:39,995
It was too soon.

583
00:49:40,170 --> 00:49:42,211
I see that now.

584
00:49:42,381 --> 00:49:46,296
No matter how unhappy you were,
he was your husband.

585
00:49:46,468 --> 00:49:48,094
He was an animal...

586
00:49:50,723 --> 00:49:52,597
..who...

587
00:49:54,935 --> 00:49:57,474
..who abused me
in every possible way.

588
00:49:59,148 --> 00:50:02,981
I was nothing to him
but an object to satisfy his lust.

589
00:50:04,987 --> 00:50:08,523
So, when he died...
and you came to me...

590
00:50:10,034 --> 00:50:12,193
..all I could see was a man.

591
00:50:14,955 --> 00:50:17,328
And all that we had with each other...

592
00:50:18,834 --> 00:50:21,291
..all that was beautiful...

593
00:50:21,462 --> 00:50:23,835
and all that was true...

594
00:50:24,006 --> 00:50:26,296
was turned in my mind to baseness.

595
00:50:27,259 --> 00:50:29,336
So I cannot look on love...

596
00:50:30,721 --> 00:50:33,390
..on carnal love, without revulsion.

597
00:50:35,476 --> 00:50:38,643
If your hands touched me,
I would think of his hands.

598
00:50:39,563 --> 00:50:42,269
If you kissed me,
I would think of his mouth.

599
00:50:43,859 --> 00:50:45,485
And the thought of...

600
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,314
..and the thought of flesh...

601
00:50:48,489 --> 00:50:50,778
any flesh, against my own...

602
00:50:55,496 --> 00:50:57,370
Forgive me.

603
00:50:57,539 --> 00:50:59,663
Forgive me. I can never...

604
00:51:00,542 --> 00:51:02,287
Morwenna!

605
00:51:12,429 --> 00:51:14,387
Anything?

606
00:51:14,556 --> 00:51:16,135
No.

607
00:51:22,147 --> 00:51:25,482
Every time... he wriggles off the hook!

608
00:51:27,111 --> 00:51:29,899
Is our happiness contingent on his demise?

609
00:51:31,407 --> 00:51:34,243
Or your rise contingent on his fall?

610
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:36,993
This came for you.

611
00:51:40,374 --> 00:51:42,617
The Prime Minister's office.

612
00:51:49,008 --> 00:51:51,381
He will meet me next week.

613
00:51:54,179 --> 00:51:58,427
And I will know what price
to name for my two votes.

614
00:52:00,686 --> 00:52:04,898
The right to address my wife
as Lady Warleggan.

615
00:52:05,065 --> 00:52:07,106
A knighthood?

616
00:52:07,276 --> 00:52:11,939
And, in a few years,
a baronetcy which my son will inherit.

617
00:52:15,743 --> 00:52:19,159
- This is a pleasant family scene!
- How was the museum, my love?

618
00:52:19,329 --> 00:52:22,415
Most diverting, Mama.
The mummies especially.

619
00:52:22,583 --> 00:52:24,375
Perhaps next time, I can take Valentine.

620
00:52:24,543 --> 00:52:27,628
Valentine, leave Aurelia now.
It's time for your supper.

621
00:52:27,796 --> 00:52:30,834
I think he's going to fight a duel!

622
00:52:31,008 --> 00:52:34,378
Lord, why have I never noticed this before?

623
00:52:34,553 --> 00:52:35,965
What?

624
00:52:36,138 --> 00:52:38,926
Is he not the very spit and image
of Uncle Ross?

625
00:52:42,311 --> 00:52:45,478
Faster, Valentine.

626
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:49,599
Faster.

627
00:53:03,832 --> 00:53:06,870
Poor Horace wonders
why he must be abandoned.

628
00:53:07,586 --> 00:53:10,873
Poor Horace knows
that I've already stayed longer than intended

629
00:53:11,048 --> 00:53:13,456
and must return to my patients.

630
00:53:14,301 --> 00:53:20,091
Horace wonders why Dr Enys cannot find it
in his heart to love London as he does?

631
00:53:20,265 --> 00:53:23,635
Horace knows that he and I
are of different breeds.

632
00:53:23,811 --> 00:53:27,263
At times our habits coincide.
At others they do not.

633
00:53:28,899 --> 00:53:32,767
Is this not what we chose
when we pledged ourselves to each other?

634
00:53:34,613 --> 00:53:39,027
Perhaps Horace will return to Cornwall
sooner than he thought.

635
00:53:41,870 --> 00:53:43,496
Perhaps he will.

636
00:54:41,930 --> 00:54:43,924
I knew it was too soon to be out and about.

637
00:54:44,099 --> 00:54:47,220
Folk would've forgot
if you'd stayed out of sight, but now...

638
00:54:59,323 --> 00:55:00,782
Shall we take refreshments?

639
00:55:00,949 --> 00:55:02,528
- I must speak with George.
- No. Ross!

640
00:55:02,701 --> 00:55:04,908
- This may not be the time.
- I promised Adderley.

641
00:55:06,163 --> 00:55:07,991
George!

642
00:55:15,881 --> 00:55:21,671
As you may know, I had a meeting
with your friend... Captain Adderley.

643
00:55:21,845 --> 00:55:25,678
And... before he died,
he asked me to convey a message.

644
00:55:26,475 --> 00:55:29,477
- Concerning?
- The sum of ten guineas.

645
00:55:29,645 --> 00:55:32,433
I understand he made some wager with you -
which he lost.

646
00:55:32,606 --> 00:55:36,142
He requested that I pay you on his behalf.

647
00:55:54,795 --> 00:55:57,501
- I cannot imagine...
- What's happened?

648
00:55:58,924 --> 00:56:00,917
Is there something I can do?

649
00:56:04,763 --> 00:56:06,306
No, Ross.

650
00:56:07,266 --> 00:56:09,473
There's nothing you can do.

651
00:56:23,031 --> 00:56:25,606
- Ross...
- No.

652
00:56:26,326 --> 00:56:27,786
- No, what?
- I have no idea

653
00:56:27,953 --> 00:56:30,160
why George was so vicious towards me.

654
00:56:31,748 --> 00:56:33,493
'Tis not what I wanted to ask.

655
00:56:34,126 --> 00:56:35,537
What, then?

656
00:56:39,548 --> 00:56:41,791
Whether you truly feel safe.

657
00:56:42,509 --> 00:56:44,716
From the law, I mean.

658
00:56:45,429 --> 00:56:47,007
I feel safe.

659
00:56:50,434 --> 00:56:53,056
- And your arm?
- Is mending.

660
00:57:04,323 --> 00:57:06,612
It will all seem better in the morning.

661
00:58:06,718 --> 00:58:08,427
Demelza?

662
00:58:32,411 --> 00:58:34,985
<i>My dearest Ross,</i>

663
00:58:35,163 --> 00:58:38,118
<i>by the time you read this I will be gone.</i>

664
00:58:39,835 --> 00:58:43,501
<i>Dwight is returning to Cornwall
and I'm going with him.</i>

665
00:58:44,214 --> 00:58:46,671
<i>I'm out of my depth in London society.</i>

666
00:58:47,926 --> 00:58:52,423
<i>My wish to be friendly and polite
was taken by some to mean something more.</i>

667
00:58:54,683 --> 00:58:57,804
<i>It was even taken by you
to mean something more.</i>

668
00:58:59,771 --> 00:59:01,979
<i>I'm going home...</i>

669
00:59:02,149 --> 00:59:07,144
<i>to your house and your farm
and your mine and your children.</i>

670
00:59:09,114 --> 00:59:11,072
<i>And when you return...</i>

671
00:59:11,950 --> 00:59:14,489
<i>.. we'll see if there's anything to be done.</i>
