Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,594
Oi!
2
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,430
Oi!
3
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,877
Give us a penny!
4
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,509
CLOWANCE: Look, Jeremy.
5
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,070
Mama, why are there so many soldiers?
6
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:08,758
' Hey-A
- Papa!
7
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,558
Thank you, sir.
8
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,597
We have guests.
9
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,714
Here he is...
10
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,718
- The root of all evil.
- The devil incarnate.
11
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:26,958
At your service, ma'am.
12
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,835
- I'm afraid you have a houseful.
- Yes, I can see that.
13
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,877
- What's the name of this soldier?
- Jeremy.
14
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,189
Pleased to meet you, Jeremy.
15
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,239
What are you reading?
16
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,399
Poetry?
17
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,675
Romance?
18
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,312
The Vindication Of The Rights of Woman?
19
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,277
What rights could a girl possibly want
20
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,351
that a well-connected husband
could not supply?
21
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,796
Mrs Wollstonecraft touches on that subject,
Papa. Perhaps you should read her.
22
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,350
I have no time to waste on reading
the ravings of an educated woman.
23
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,112
And soon, I hope, nor will you.
24
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,109
George Warleggan has been invited to call.
25
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,434
Will you join us?
26
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,876
- Tomorrow, he will be Sir George Warleggan.
- May I defer that pleasure?
27
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,519
There will be a reckoning when I discover
who is responsible for my disgrace.
28
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,070
Do nothing in haste.
They've no evidence of treachery.
29
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,434
Cos none exists.
30
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,832
But evidence of loyalty to present
to those who can influence the matter
31
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:40,515
and restore you to your post,
that I'm keen to procure.
32
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,796
Do you know anyone
who could speak in your favour?
33
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,633
Bannantine, my secretary.
34
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,394
But I've no notion of where he went
after I was recalled.
35
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,073
I'll make enquires.
36
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,595
He could help us discover
who falsely accused you.
37
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,830
My money's on that bastard Hanson.
38
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,794
But he alone could not have had me recalled.
Someone here...
39
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,555
...with vested interests and no mean powers
40
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:07,393
and connections,
even up to the mad King himself,
41
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,232
must have done that.
42
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,833
But they'll pay for it.
43
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,953
These areas here, here, here and here
44
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,352
have yielded riches beyond measure
for upwards of 30 years.
45
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,670
But now demand outstrips supply,
46
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,752
so there is a need to push to regions
more remote.
47
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,150
Extraction thus more difficult.
48
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:35,673
More labour thus required.
49
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,914
Slave labour.
50
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,479
Would that be a concern?
51
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,320
Why would it?
52
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,800
Now, one is naturally reluctant
to invite new investors
53
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,632
to take a slice of the pie.
54
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,751
But new investment being required
and the rewards being bountiful...
55
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,239
All parties win.
56
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,752
I have never heard of the man Bannantine.
57
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:18,433
Bannanfine?
58
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,191
I have no idea where he might be.
59
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,032
Hm, no.
60
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,191
I've heard no word of Bannantine in months.
61
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,875
(He sighs)
62
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,600
It would appear that Bannantine
has vanished.
63
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,512
NED: Why is it taking so long?
64
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,240
KITTY: Ned, you need to have patience.
65
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,551
A veritable Nelson.
66
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,473
And all on credit.
67
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,076
As will be my training,
68
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,198
unless I can secure a wealthy benefactor.
69
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:57,875
Perhaps you could sell your charms
to an elderly duchess.
70
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,634
A good thought.
Do you know of any?
71
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,757
Oh, Vauxhall is threshing with them.
72
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,990
You should try your luck tonight.
73
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,559
(Miss Bugle coughs pointedly)
74
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,316
CARY". You seem quite yourself again.
75
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,232
Why would you think otherwise?
76
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,917
Because, in the days before our departure,
you appeared a little disordered...
77
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,118
...with talk of Elizabeth.
78
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,909
Yes?
79
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,560
As if she was still with us.
80
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,720
Are you sure it's not you who is disordered?
81
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,190
(Baby cries)
82
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,918
When will Papa return?
83
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,918
(Baby continues to cry)
84
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:06,669
(Crying continues)
85
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,478
I seen Morwenna by the quay.
86
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,959
Is there news?
87
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,997
What manner of news?
88
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,674
She looked so delicate and pale,
I thought maybe there was...
89
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,274
- What?
- A child coming.
90
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:47,509
Oh.
91
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,432
Not unless it's a fairy child.
92
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,876
She'd akeep her distance still?
93
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,998
She's yet so broken.
94
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,277
And may never mend.
95
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,276
(She hums)
96
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,438
Right, lmpudence, get up
and whitewash yon wall 'ee burnt.
97
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,471
And wipe that smirk off
before this besom do.
98
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,358
I can't help it, missus.
99
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,831
Thinking how I'd take a strap to 'ee
were I mistress here.
100
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,240
Thee?
101
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,594
Mistress here?
102
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,711
Stranger things have happ'd.
103
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,400
(She resumes humming)
104
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,035
No-one can tell me where Bannantine is,
but there is someone I think we should meet.
105
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,636
The King declines to intervene
on my behalf.
106
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,230
While I sit caged in a lodging house,
twiddling my thumbs.
107
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,038
Put them to use, then.
108
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,350
Tomorrow we have an appointment
with Joseph Merceron.
109
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,353
- And tonight we promenade.
- Thank you, no.
110
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,593
Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens
hold few attractions for me.
111
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,194
Does Kitty not deserve
a night on the town?
112
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,476
- If she's anything like my wife...
- Which she is.
113
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,591
Were you not all set to marry
some Irish countess after the war?
114
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,751
And you some Cornish heiress.
115
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,558
She preferred my cousin.
116
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,233
Lucky for you.
117
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,197
Do you think we made the right choices?
118
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,759
Yes.
119
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,114
But not the easy ones.
120
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,036
MAN: Where did he pick that up?
121
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,235
Tasty.
122
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,433
Why do they look at her so?
Do they think she's...?
123
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,840
- A courtesan.
- What?!
124
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,440
Dear Lord, Ross, how dare they?
125
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,479
WOMAN: Is that Despard!
126
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,951
MAN: Shame on you.
127
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,911
Shame on you, Despard!
Shame!
128
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,913
WOMAN: Traitor!
129
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,234
Colonel Despard...
130
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,473
Mr Hanson.
131
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,677
Of the Mosquito Shore Mahogany Company.
132
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,353
Now returned to English soil.
133
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,357
You remember my wife...
134
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,669
...Catherine.
135
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,151
Brave of you to venture out, ma'am,
in view of your husband's fall from grace.
136
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,153
But then, perhaps you're not...
137
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,720
...unfamiliar with contempt.
138
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,510
You'll be familiar with my fist
if you don't apologise to my wife.
139
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,558
Ned, I'm sure Mr Hanson meant no offence.
140
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,792
I can assure you, none was taken.
141
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,072
As ever,
we are redeemed by the fairer sex.
142
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,313
Oh, I think it will take a lot more than that...
143
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,638
...to redeem you, sir.
144
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,119
Ma'am.
145
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,760
Shall we...?
146
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,036
You go crawl back under your stone, Hanson!
147
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,031
- Ha!
- Rest assured, you'll be made to pay!
148
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,354
Ned, be calm.
149
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,716
Come away now.
It's time we go.
150
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,589
She's a better woman than I.
I'd have let him crown the man.
151
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:56,956
- I would have helped.
- How does that serve his cause?
152
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,030
Dwight...
153
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,430
In fairness,
the man was to blame for his demise.
154
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,558
- Ned's agreed to take me home now.
- I think Kitty would feel safer indoors.
155
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,789
Then we'll all go.
156
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,396
No, please, we'd prefer to have time
by ourselves.
157
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,391
Of course, my dear.
158
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,718
CAROLINE: And this is our new century?
159
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,560
Cecily...
160
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,354
(They both chuckle)
161
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,194
Did I not say you'd be spoilt for choice?
162
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,556
The Honourable Miss DeVere.
Countess Hathersage.
163
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,519
The more frightful the specimen,
the better your chances.
164
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,079
I'm flattered.
165
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,150
(They laugh)
166
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,155
And you?
Seen anyone to your liking?
167
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,550
No-one of whom Papa would approve.
168
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,677
You have no choice in the matter?
169
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,671
Did your mama choose her mate?
170
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,718
- I suspect she was somewhat directed.
- And mine.
171
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,319
And it cost her.
172
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:18,234
All the more reason
for you to be mistress of your fate.
173
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,950
- Tell that to Papa.
- I shall, if I ever meet him.
174
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,156
Now's your chance.
175
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,799
He's over there.
176
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,753
Go on, I dare you.
177
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,520
Very well.
178
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,711
- What are you doing?
- Er...
179
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,873
Miss Hanson dared me to tell her papa
she should marry as she chooses.
180
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,474
Miss Hanson's papa is not one
to take advice.
181
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:01,915
- You know him?
- I know he's a man you should avoid.
182
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,877
- But...
- Just trust me.
183
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,154
DEMELZA". So what's to be done for Ned?
184
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,470
ROSS". My hope is on Joseph Merceron.
185
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,153
(He bangs his head)
186
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,117
(They both giggle)
187
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,431
- Gentlemen.
- Mr Merceron.
188
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,590
You wished to see me.
189
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:33,829
Please...
190
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,230
In my capacity as patron
of our local charities?
191
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,075
No, sir. As the magistrate who presided over
Colonel Despard's hearing.
192
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,993
And his subsequent unlawful detention.
193
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,830
At the time of the hearing, was there ever
mention of a man named Bannantine?
194
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,433
Bannanfine?
195
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,352
My secretary in Honduras.
196
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,556
We believe he's been in London
for some time
197
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,520
and wondered why he was not called upon
to give evidence in his master's defence.
198
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,797
Now I recall. The man was indeed sought,
but could not be found.
199
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,394
His testimony could have made
all the difference
200
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,155
in fully restoring my reputation
and enabling me to return to my post.
201
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,317
- Is that your intention?
- Why, man, what else would it be?
202
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,869
This conspiracy has robbed me
of my name and my position
203
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,110
- and I want them restored!
- Colonel...
204
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,599
It's my right!
205
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,237
And I'll not rest till it's been granted.
206
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,800
Well, gentlemen, if I can be of any assistance
in your search for Mr Bannantine...
207
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,075
We'd be most grateful.
208
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,470
Should you yourself discover him,
please do let me know.
209
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,630
Of course.
210
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,670
- Well, I wish you luck, Colonel.
- Huh!
211
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,913
I'm a little out of practice.
212
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,117
You were never up to my standard.
213
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,318
Somebody must fight you,
if only to prevent you fighting all the world.
214
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,835
Joseph Merceron was trying to help.
215
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,911
I suppose I should thank you.
216
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,879
- But what help can he bring?
- I know you cannot bear inaction.
217
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,112
Or favours.
218
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,874
Or not being permitted
to fight your own battles.
219
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,037
- I scarce know what those battle are.
- I'll tell you when they're won.
220
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,589
How can one win
against an invisible enemy?
221
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,757
- Enough, enough.
- Sir.
222
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,029
ELIZABETH'S VOICE:
Would you like me to do that, my dear?
223
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,633
After all...
224
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,838
...it would not do to be late for the King
225
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,196
when one is receiving a knighthood.
226
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,870
Ladies, gentlemen...
227
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,870
...fellow members
of the Royal College of Surgeons,
228
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,840
may I welcome you to this lecture
in which I will attempt to articulate
229
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,040
my own, perhaps controversial, views
of the causes and treatments of insanity?
230
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,952
DWIGHT: I have come to consider insanity
not as a moral failing...
231
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,111
...nor an inherited one.
232
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,075
But an affliction
which may happen to the best of us.
233
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,799
I am, of course, aware of the plethora
of conventional treatments, many and varied,
234
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,397
but alike in their brutality
and lack of humanity.
235
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,993
MAN: Ah!
236
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,073
Sir, are you suggesting that the mad man,
or woman, does not benefit from a firm hand?
237
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,439
From my own observation and experience,
I suggest that patience and simple kindness
238
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,511
can yield equal, if not better, results.
239
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,557
(Mutterings of disagreement)
240
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,109
But what of the man who attempted
to assassinate His Majesty?
241
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,636
I do not know his history, ma'am, but...
242
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,199
He is a soldier, sir,
243
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,717
who sustained severe sabre wounds
to the head in the service of the King.
244
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,518
I'm no lawyer, but I venture to suggest
245
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,035
that a man who has been bludgeoned
across the skull
246
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:57,839
might not be entirely of sound mind.
247
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,230
And if he's not of sound mind,
248
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,470
how can he be held accountable
for his actions?
249
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,119
Oh, come now!
250
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,429
The man was an assassin!
251
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,477
What you say intrigues me, sir.
252
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,312
- And you are?
- Thomas Erskine.
253
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,799
Lawyer.
254
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,595
I will prove that the world is fit
to receive the lamb. I will prove it.
255
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,035
DWIGHT: Is this agitation usual for him?
256
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,475
ERSKINE: Countless testimonies say so.
257
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,393
There is no other way.
I alone was chosen.
258
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,230
I alone could herald
the second coming of the Lord.
259
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,358
Remind me,
the legal definition of insanity...?
260
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,519
The defendant must be lost to all sense,
261
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,230
incapable of forming a judgment
upon the consequences of the act
262
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,197
he is about to commit.
263
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,511
And his careful planning of the assassination,
the purchasing of pistols,
264
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,877
the lucid reasons given in advance,
all seem to contradict such a claim.
265
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,197
Is it too much to ask,
266
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,352
would you consider taking the stand
in his defence?
267
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,276
May I examine Mr Hadfield?
268
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:07,509
Of course.
269
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,873
Butter, please, Jeremy.
270
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,314
Oh...!
271
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,914
- Clumsy!
- It's so squashed in here.
272
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,197
I think perhaps we should think about
other lodgings.
273
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,318
Absolutely not.
Demelza enjoys a crush.
274
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,869
When you've lived in one room
with a father and six brothers,
275
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,112
- anything is spacious.
- (Knock on the door)
276
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,239
Thank you, sir.
277
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,353
I must go out.
278
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,193
- I'll come with you. I need the air.
- No, no, it's a private matter.
279
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,679
I won't be long.
280
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,879
Mr Bannantine?
281
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,314
Ross Poldark.
282
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,631
How did you know I was seeking you?
283
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,519
I have friends who frequent certain inns,
284
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,558
make it their business to see
and not be seen.
285
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,278
(Pots clatter)
286
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:39,398
As I have made it my business.
287
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,876
So, you know that Ned,
288
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,237
Colonel Despard,
has lately been released?
289
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,993
Will you tell him it was not indifference
290
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,674
- which kept me away from his hearing?
- Of course, but...
291
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,400
And if there's anything
I can now do to make amends.
292
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,153
There is.
293
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,753
Ned is free, but...
294
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,071
...there was no trial,
295
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,357
so there's still a cloud
that hangs over his reputation.
296
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,237
I was hoping you could help me dispel it.
297
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,517
When Ned was Governor in Honduras,
298
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,638
as his secretary, you would have observed
him at close quarters.
299
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,629
These accusations against him,
acting against the interests of the Crown,
300
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,631
I'm assuming they were without foundation.
301
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,915
Utterly.
302
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,039
- So what prompted them?
- Well, the Colonel could be challenging.
303
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,589
But his opposition to slavery.
304
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,039
Housing, feeding, educating,
allocating land to slaves.
305
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,111
Marrying one.
306
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,353
The old colonists' and planters'
worst nightmare.
307
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,798
Undermines the entire structure
on which their fortunes were founded.
308
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,553
Would you be willing to testify to this?
309
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,838
Do you have any idea who Hanson's
associates are here in London?
310
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,480
You must be aware, sir...
311
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,198
...that the vested interests which have
conspired to crucify our friend,
312
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,716
if I, or you, attempted to go against them...
313
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,560
...you've no idea what they're capable of.
314
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,592
So, a wasted journey?
315
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,798
What he told me would vindicate Ned.
But...
316
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,640
...he'll never set it down
for fear of reprisals.
317
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,631
Will you tell Ned?
318
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,552
What would be the point?
319
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,918
Perhaps it's for the best.
320
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,197
If such forces do exist...
321
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,796
...is it not wise to avoid them?
322
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,079
Ross...
323
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,072
That man who bid you to spy for him...
324
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,350
Wickham?
325
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,512
If naught's been heard,
perhaps he's forgot you.
326
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,432
I seriously doubt it, Demelza.
327
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,915
All the more reason
for you to keep your head down.
328
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,753
Keep clear of Ned's battles
and go about your business.
329
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,797
My business is Ned.
330
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,917
I'm in his debt.
You know that.
331
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,278
What can you do for him?
332
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,756
This is information which would clear
Ned Despard's name.
333
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,116
I cannot get Bannantine to set it down,
334
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,192
but what he reports points to a conspiracy
at the highest level
335
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,112
to silence and defame.
336
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,759
The highest level?
337
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,754
- Which you would do well to avoid.
- But when a man's reputation is at stake...
338
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,309
Need I remind you, Captain,
of our present crisis?
339
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,394
A populace on the verge of a revolt
every bit as bloody as that of France.
340
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,312
- Mob violence.
- But Ned is not...
341
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,153
- Attempts on the King's life...
- Ned is not part of this violence.
342
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,151
It could be argued
he's part of a radical tide
343
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,072
which is threatening to swamp the nation.
344
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,118
Who says so? Those whose greed
and corruption he threatened to expose?
345
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,473
You'll forgive me, Captain.
346
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,433
The Crown, and I,
have more pressing matters to attend to.
347
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,593
Not least of which is your friend Dr Enys
agreeing to take the stand for James Hadfield.
348
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,719
(Door closes)
349
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,995
Good day.
350
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,400
See?
351
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,120
Not everyone's as vile
as they were at Vauxhall.
352
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,430
That's because they think I'm your maid.
353
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,159
I told you.
354
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,072
- I am invincible.
- Nephew...?
355
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,514
Aunt Demelza!
356
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,875
Er...
357
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,678
May I introduce Miss Hanson?
358
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,671
- Ralph Hanson's daughter?
- My Aunt Demelza.
359
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,592
We escaped my chaperone.
360
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,716
- You won't tell on us?
- Of course not.
361
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,030
Aunt Demelza's a regular sport.
362
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:09,191
In truth, I feel a little uneasy.
363
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,918
Without your parents' permission.
364
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,594
My mother's dead
and I care not what my father thinks.
365
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,718
Yet, I think he'd not care
to have you gallivanting about together.
366
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,276
We're but common acquaintances.
367
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:24,317
Uncommon acquaintances.
368
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,550
- Will you not be our trusted friend?
- We'd esteem it the greatest favour.
369
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,509
Very well.
370
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,671
- But be discreet.
- Thank you.
371
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,194
You're the best of aunts.
372
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,559
Another game?
373
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:51,998
(Twig snaps)
374
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,155
Are you sure you're not wishing
we had the place to ourselves?
375
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,674
No.
376
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,634
Husk
377
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,310
I keep thinking someone's watching us.
378
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,792
I know you'll say it's just my imagination
and why would anyone wish to follow us.
379
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,792
It's not as if I have any proof.
I just...
380
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,992
I know I'm being foolish.
381
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,230
Perhaps I should not have asked you here.
382
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,880
- Are you wishing me gone already?
- No!
383
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,477
I'm wishing London were not so strange
and full of shadows.
384
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,710
And is Cornwall not so, too?
385
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,709
Indeed, is anywhere truly free
of those who wish us ill?
386
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,510
And we do not even know who they are.
387
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,672
Then let us hold fast
to those we know we can trust.
388
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,191
Then hold fast to me, my love.
389
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,433
(Dog growls)
390
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,876
I know who it belong to.
But I think it suit me better.
391
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,109
(Dog growls)
392
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,239
And it's maybe not the only thing of hers
sit better on me.
393
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:46,435
(D09 barks)
394
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,315
(Barking continues)
395
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,357
What do 'ee have in that knapsack,
Samuel Came?
396
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,839
A slice of my heavy cake?
397
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,150
Back to your hoeing, Miss lmpudent.
398
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,233
Maybe we two should hoe together.
399
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,991
Get off...now!
400
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,876
? There was an old couple
And they were poor.
401
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,349
? They lived in a house with only one door
402
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,670
? Oh, what a poor couple were they
Were they
403
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,955
? What a poor couple...
404
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,713
(She gasps)
405
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,153
Is that...
406
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,639
...Valentine?
407
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,349
- Valentine...?
- Morwenna!
408
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,513
Are you alone?
409
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,159
Is your maid not with you?
410
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,672
- I escaped.
- What would your papa say?
411
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,114
He's gone.
412
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,077
- Where?
- To find Mama.
413
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,718
But, sweetheart...
414
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,235
...your mama, she...
415
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,833
Went away.
Yes.
416
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,997
And Papa told me he'd bring her back.
417
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:53,915
'$33
418
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,275
I don't think he can have meant that,
my love.
419
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,680
He did!
420
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,269
He promised me.
He will bring her back.
421
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,838
MAID: Master Valentine!
422
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,559
Where have you been?
423
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,991
In the words of the Governor,
Colonel Edward Despard,
424
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,118
man's inhumanity to man
425
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,751
manifests in its worst form
in the obscenity which is the slave trade.
426
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,877
- (Shouts of disagreement)
- Order!
427
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,592
Arguments in favour of slavery
are abominable
428
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,877
in the ingenuities of their twisted reasoning.
429
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,271
Colonel Despard has been alone
430
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,079
in his attempts to ease the plight
of these men and women.
431
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,798
And how long?
432
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:12,159
How long will we turn a blind eye
to the suffering of these poor souls?
433
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,117
(Shouts of disagreement)
434
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,599
Order!
435
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,393
This came for you.
436
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,871
"Against my betterjudgment,
I have done as you asked.
437
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,917
"Do not entreat me further."
438
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,713
Bannanfine?
439
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,229
Ross, it says Ned was
"faultless in his duty, devoted to his workers
440
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,516
"fiercely loyal to the Crown".
441
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,838
- Do it name Ned's accusers?
- He said he dared not.
442
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,117
Then what can you do with it?
443
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,032
Take it to Joseph Merceron.
444
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,553
As presiding magistrate,
445
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,031
he might have means to make
a public exoneration of Ned's character.
446
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,439
Ross...
447
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,515
...is it wise to take up Ned's cause so publicly
with magistrates and the like?
448
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,716
And Ned being so fiery.
449
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,076
- He's not a man to hold his tongue.
- Perhaps...
450
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,833
...there is a better way.
451
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,593
What?
452
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,559
I will return later.
453
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,519
- Are you certain?
- I am resolved.
454
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,750
The establishment will not thank you.
455
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,038
Mr Hadfield's wellbeing is my concern,
not spurious notions of justice.
456
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,314
"Colonel Edward Despard,
True And Impartial Account."
457
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,993
And what will you do with them?
458
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,436
Circulate them amongst MPs
I deem sympathetic to Ned's cause.
459
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,193
Not that there are many.
460
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,475
But...
461
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,669
...I must begin somewhere.
462
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,592
Ned, Dwight is due to take the stand.
463
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,430
NED: This will put the cat
amongst the pigeons.
464
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,193
(Door closes)
465
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,953
Dr Dwight Enys to the stand.
466
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,159
My Lord...
467
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,314
...we have heard the defendant plead
not guilty on the grounds of insanity.
468
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,437
But how do we define insanity?
469
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,239
As one who has treated many such cases,
470
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,312
I have observed
that the true character of insanity
471
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,233
is not wild frenzy or raving madness...
472
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,118
...but delusion.
473
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,598
I suggest, therefore, that if a man's
accountability rests upon his reason...
474
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,315
...then the loss of that reason
renders him not accountable.
475
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,232
(The gallery mutters)
476
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:51,833
Order...
477
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,353
James wrote this?
478
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,113
Ross had them printed.
479
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,953
He means to circulate them
amongst a few sympathetic MPs.
480
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,156
But...l have a better idea.
481
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,833
The defendant served with
the Duke of York's bodyguard
482
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,593
at the Battle of Tourcoing,
483
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,240
where he sustained eight sabre blows
to the head,
484
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,837
four of which are sufficient to cause
permanent and irreversible brain damage.
485
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,037
It cannot escape the court
that these injuries,
486
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,680
which have deprived the defendant
of his reason,
487
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,390
were sustained
in the service of the Crown itself.
488
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,915
- (Muttering from the gallery)
- Order!
489
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:48,750
Sir...
490
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,357
Sir...
Thank you very much.
491
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,231
I have spoken with fellow officers,
who attest to the bravery and loyalty
492
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,789
of the defendant prior to his injuries.
493
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,998
His sisters confirmed
this marked transformation.
494
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,673
His landlady...
495
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,910
- Are there many more examples?
- Yes, My Lord.
496
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,630
At least 30 more have testified
in the same vein.
497
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:29,032
Since it can no longer be doubted that,
at the time the act was committed,
498
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,475
the defendant was not of sound mind,
499
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:36,873
the court has no option but to halt the trial
and acquit the defendant...
500
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,237
- (Shouts of protest)
- ..on the grounds of insanity.
501
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,310
Thank you, My Lord.
502
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,435
He is...
503
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,590
He...
504
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,151
He is, however, an extremely dangerous
member of society,
505
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:55,111
who, for his own sake,
must not be discharged.
506
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,277
All rise.
507
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,599
If he's not to be released,
does that mean committal to an institution?
508
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,318
Bedlam, I imagine.
509
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,959
Then I'm sorry I intervened.
510
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,714
Execution would have been kinder.
511
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,836
Bannantine came forward, sir.
He agreed to share his evidence.
512
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,513
Did he indeed?
513
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,069
Are you convinced by its veracity?
514
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,719
Utterly.
515
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,198
Do you think I should doubt it?
516
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,193
Well, in these uncertain times,
shouldn't we doubt everyone?
517
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:55,835
Ralph Hanson and George Warleggan,
what could they possibly have in common?
518
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,360
Perhaps I should give them one of these.
519
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,677
But this is tremendous.
520
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,353
Where did y0u...?
521
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,549
- Is Bannantine in London?
- Come with me.
522
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,876
We'll see if this has the effect I intended.
523
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,793
Gentlemen...
524
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,555
May I beg your indulgence
and ask you to read these pamphlets?
525
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,994
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
526
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,156
Mr Burdett, I believe this subject
will find sympathy with you, sir.
527
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:33,958
Good day to you.
528
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,314
Sir George!
529
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,518
I observed you with Ralph Hanson.
A new business venture?
530
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,593
George, I wonder...
531
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,469
Geoffrey Charles is resolved
to serve his country as an officer,
532
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,676
but that he cannot do
without sufficient means.
533
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,276
I believe we've exhausted this subject.
Why would I wish to revisit it?
534
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,876
Because we both know
it's what his mother would want.
535
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,673
Oh...
536
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,956
We both know, do we?
537
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,436
What do you know of my wife?
You were nothing to her.
538
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,113
An irrelevance.
539
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,519
And to me.
540
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,634
So that night, when you said,
541
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:23,872
"See what we have brought her to."
542
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,439
What did you mean?
543
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,199
That we...
544
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,873
...had been the death of her.
545
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,389
Between your inability to let her go,
546
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,598
and my unfounded suspicions,
547
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,910
we hounded her to an early grave.
548
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,632
I take my share of the blame.
Take yours.
549
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,753
(He sniffs)
550
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,075
Ambushed!
551
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:52,674
Tears...
552
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,271
Most unbecoming in a cadet.
553
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,838
Your mama...
554
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:08,996
...I expect she was adorable.
555
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:12,952
Would you like to see her picture?
556
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,995
A beauty.
557
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,400
Of course.
558
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,278
How else would her son be Adonis?
559
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,158
(They both chuckle)
560
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,232
I'd almost forgot how to laugh.
561
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,710
For months, I've had no humour.
562
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,279
No company...
563
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,954
...no purpose.
564
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,590
What if I make it my mission
to entertain you?
565
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,633
Then I should do the like for you.
566
00:41:57,720 --> 00:42:01,395
Are we not both motherless pups
in need of diversion?
567
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,834
(They both laugh)
568
00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:17,631
Lord, what are we to do?
569
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:20,633
Please, don't tell me
they've formed an attachment.
570
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:22,631
It will not end well, I fear.
571
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,479
So we nip this in the bud,
return to Cornwall
572
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,358
and take Geoffrey Charles with us?
573
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,990
It will at least keep him away
from that odious man Ralph Hanson.
574
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:34,918
I pity his daughter.
575
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:42,914
Mm.
576
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,957
A momentous day.
577
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,953
When our empire spreads
beyond these shores
578
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,429
to the very edges of the New World.
579
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,280
Have you read this travesty?
580
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,159
I glanced at it.
581
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:59,516
It defames, without cause,
582
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,833
certain persons, not by name,
but by implication,
583
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,992
which could endanger
their interests in Honduras.
584
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,309
And ours?
585
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,349
- Regrettably.
- Can anything be done?
586
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,193
Well, the obvious route
is to discredit Despard.
587
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,669
Along with his friend Poldark.
588
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:18,989
Ross?
589
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,559
Interesting.
How?
590
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,358
In the present climate, not difficult.
591
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,320
What the Crown fears above all else
is revolution.
592
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,753
Now, Poldark was present
when Hadfield tried to kill the King.
593
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,195
- But intervened to prevent it.
- Did he?
594
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,392
Or was he merely there to cover up
his own involvement?
595
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,274
Then, note how his friend Enys
helped to free the assassin.
596
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,636
Well, the connections
are somewhat tenuous.
597
00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:46,915
Ah...
598
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,118
But cleverly managed,
they could create the impression...
599
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:52,994
...of a conspiracy.
600
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,469
Poldark, Despard, Enys,
601
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,837
three men with known Jacobin sympathies...
602
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,116
Could be seen as hostile to the Crown.
603
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,514
Precisely, Sir George.
604
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,749
But...
605
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,392
...to more pleasant matters.
606
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,431
ELIZABETH'S VOICE:
Are you sure, George?
607
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,636
Is this really what you wish?
608
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,039
Is it what I wish?
609
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,234
- What?
- The investment is high.
610
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:28,879
But, so I'm told, are the rewards.
611
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,997
ELIZABETH: Oh, the rewards.
612
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,640
Rewards are never guaranteed.
613
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,360
And how well do you know this man?
Can he be trusted?
614
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,192
Can he be trusted?
615
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,429
CARY: Nephew...?
616
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,036
My uncle will say we have proceeded
with all care and due diligence.
617
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,235
Of whom are we speaking?
618
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,311
But is this something
Ross would entertain?
619
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,074
Do I care what Ross would entertain?
Have I not a mind of my own?
620
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,310
Sir, I beg your indulgence,
621
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:56,031
but I cannot allow my nephew
to sign this document.
622
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,713
What?!
623
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,794
Not being sufficiently confident
of the merits of the deal.
624
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,154
Sir, I assure you...
625
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:07,029
Sir George and I will confer
and report our decision in due course.
626
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,633
Good day to you, sir.
627
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,752
- Do we dine at home tonight?
- CARY: The Golden Hind at Bedfont.
628
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,719
We must hurry if we're to reach
Trenwith by Sunday.
629
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,632
We're going to Trenwith?
630
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:31,360
Ha!
Is this not good news, my dear?
631
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,234
(He chuckles)
632
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:38,679
Thank you for your kind words.
633
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,351
Well done, Colonel.
A true patriot.
634
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,510
We seem to be very popular here today.
635
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,313
ROSS: Mission accomplished.
NED: And tomorrow Honduras.
636
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,831
Well, my dears, let the gentlemen
have their small victories.
637
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,799
For today it was we ladies
who made the difference.
638
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,633
I leave tomorrow.
My credit's run out.
639
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:05,279
Returning to Cornwall?
640
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:06,919
How dismal.
641
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,196
- Will you miss me?
- Not in the least.
642
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:11,799
Nor I you.
643
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,351
DEMELZA:
So, the pamphlets were a triumph.
644
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,829
And there was I thinking
you might not approve.
645
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,197
Well, in truth,
I was not altogether convinced.
646
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,352
And then I bethought me...
647
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,790
...what is a marriage
if we stand not together?
648
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,318
Must I not trust your judgment,
as you must trust mine?
649
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:38,554
I admit, even I did not dare to hope
for such a rapid and widespread response.
650
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,517
Mm, yes. Well...
651
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,591
...I may have had a hand in that.
652
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:44,790
Oh?
653
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:49,192
I may have given out a few pamphlets
at Hyde Park.
654
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,840
And encouraged Kitty and Caroline
to do the like.
655
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,638
Did I do wrong?
656
00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:00,633
Ross, I only thought that the more folk
who know the truth, the better.
657
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:01,915
Yes, but...
658
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,752
...a discreet circulation
to sympathetic colleagues is one thing.
659
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,474
A wholesale papering of all of London, it...
660
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:12,755
What?
661
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,911
It does leave the Government
with nowhere to hide.
662
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,593
Do it need to hide?
663
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,717
Ought it to?
664
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,312
You're right, my love.
665
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,070
It deserves to be exposed.
666
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,630
And whatever consequences
there may be...
667
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:30,994
Will there be?
668
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,913
Probably not.
669
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,119
- (Knock on door)
- Come.
670
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,118
You wished to see me.
671
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:06,479
So Ned Despard has been repositioned
as the heroic victim of a vile conspiracy.
672
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,471
He is the victim of a vile conspiracy.
673
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,949
Take care
you do not become embroiled in one.
674
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,030
L'?
675
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,715
Since your reconnection with Despard, you've
begun to associate with other Jacobins.
676
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,359
Despard's wife.
677
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,909
- The assassin who tried to kill the King.
- The man I disarmed?
678
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,231
And now your friend Enys
is the scourge of the Attorney General.
679
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,836
In isolation,
these connections would not be troubling.
680
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,912
Put them together
and a pattern emerges.
681
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,640
I've done nothing to merit mistrust
of any kind.
682
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,553
Except for this...
683
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,591
Had you been patient,
Despard may have returned to his post.
684
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,672
Your intervention has done the very thing
the Government wished to avoid.
685
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,910
It's drawn attention
to an unfortunate situation.
686
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,070
A miscarriage of justice.
687
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,629
Which has embarrassed the Crown
and its Ministers.
688
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,838
Now the Crown requires you
to make amends.
689
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,590
At least they do not specifically name me.
690
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,918
Though, anyone familiar with my methods
would guess at its target.
691
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,671
But Despard could not know for certain
who led the campaign for his recall.
692
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,238
Bannantine should pay for this treachery.
693
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,151
Spy on Ned and Kitty?
694
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:33,998
Can you refuse?
695
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,754
I can remove us from this place
and take us all to Cornwall.
696
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:41,712
- Will you tell Ned what you've been asked?
- No. Why would I?
697
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,518
I've no intention of doing it.
698
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:48,111
- Dear Lord, Ross...
- We're going home. Are you not glad?
699
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,157
Of course. But like this?
Under such threat?
700
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:52,277
There'll be no threat
once we're in Cornwall.
701
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,878
Cecily, I have a journey to make.
702
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:01,189
I'm leaving for Cornwall.
703
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,873
You will accompany me.
704
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,954
Pray, do not trouble me
with your objections.
705
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,235
I would not dream of it, Papa.
706
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:15,680
Hm...
707
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,598
ROSS: A few weeks of Cornish air
will do us all a power of good.
708
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,073
Ah, Valentine!
709
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,197
Look who I've brought home with me.
710
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,073
(He chuckles)
711
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,717
When I saw 'ee that day...
712
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,758
...with young Valentine.
713
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,035
Seeing 'ee comfort and talk to him...
714
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,190
...made me desire to have 'ee comfort and talk
to a child of our own.
715
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,395
Drake...
716
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:02,879
And maybe...
717
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,792
...that day will never come.
718
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,718
But dare we not hope?
719
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,155
If something is broken beyond recall...
720
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:13,639
But is it?
721
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,434
Truly?
722
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,673
Beyond recall?
723
00:52:53,240 --> 00:52:54,833
JEREMY: Mama, I'm starving.
724
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,638
Yes.
So you've said, my love.
725
00:52:56,720 --> 00:52:58,836
Every five minutes since we left Plymouth.
726
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,355
Shall I see if they have any cake
while the horses are changed?
727
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:02,430
Go and sit down there.
728
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,832
Miss Hanson!
729
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,638
What a welcome surprise.
730
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,194
Easy bOV-
731
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,511
Let's not treat our fellow diners
to displays of martial arts.
732
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:29,920
No, indeed.
733
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,071
A cup of tea would be far less distracting.
734
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,157
Are you staying in Truro, sir?
735
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:39,959
Yes, I am.
736
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,511
Well, perhaps you'd appreciate
some reading matter for the evening.
737
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,477
(He scoffs and then laughs)
738
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,431
Cecily, go to your room.
739
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,239
Yes, Papa.
740
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,552
"A True And Honest Account
by James Bannantine."
741
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,231
(Footsteps approach)
742
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:26,833
Mr Bannantine?
743
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:39,959
Is she here?
744
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,071
She said she'd be here.
She promised.
745
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,629
Sit, nephew.
Take some refreshment.
746
00:54:45,720 --> 00:54:47,199
But where is she?
747
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,510
Shefl,en"
She'll be here presently.
748
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,638
- But she did say so?
- Yes. She said so.
749
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:56,393
Ah...
750
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,118
There she is.
751
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,555
- My dear, would you take a little port?
- ELIZABETH: Thank you, my dear.
752
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,950
How good it is to be home again.
753
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,113
(He pours a drink)
754
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:18,713
Papa!
Wait for me!
755
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:23,555
Careful.
756
00:55:29,240 --> 00:55:32,153
- These poor slaves...
- I can't imagine.
757
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:53,394
Are you happy now?
758
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,437
And our feet back on Cornish soil.
759
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:57,789
All's right in the world.
760
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,877
DEMELZA: London cannot touch us.
761
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,394
ROSS: No.
762
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:16,914
It cannot.
763
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:57,120
