1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:02,443
-Stay with us, friend.
-Colonel Despard.
2
00:00:02,445 --> 00:00:05,678
-My name is Catherine Despard.
-Ned's wife?
3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,118
Will you take on his case? It may be
the rashest thing you ever do.
4
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:09,718
When do we leave?
5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,478
Mr Ralph Hanson Of the Mosquito
Shore Mahogany Company.
6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,398
My daughter, Cecily.
7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,958
Heaven save me from upstart
Irishmen.
8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,358
In Honduras, I was plagued by a most
vexatious specimen.
9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,838
If you work for me,
10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,238
there must be trust.
11
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:27,118
-Did you do this?
-I did not.
12
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,318
-To my mother.
-To Elizabeth.
13
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,598
GUESTS: Elizabeth!
14
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,878
We should make arrangements for your
investiture by the King himself.
15
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,158
I'll remind Elizabeth!
It must have slipped her mind.
16
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,358
His Majesty's Government can always
find a covert role
17
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,758
for a person of your...
18
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,118
..talents.
19
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,158
What might the Government be willing
to do in return?
20
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:43,758
What do you recommend? A quiet life?
21
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,558
My head down and my mouth shut?
22
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,960
Where would be the fun in that?
23
00:01:22,604 --> 00:01:27,604

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Oi!
25
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,640
Oi!
26
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,200
Give us a penny?
27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Look, Jeremy!
28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Mama, why are there so many
soldiers?
29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,200
-'Ey!
-Papa!
30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,118
Thank you, sir.
31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,800
We have guests.
32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,238
Here he is! The root of all evil!
33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,440
Devil incarnate.
34
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,880
At your service, ma'am.
35
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,438
I'm afraid you have a houseful!
36
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,720
Yes, I see that!
37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,918
-What's the name of this soldier?
-Jeremy.
38
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:22,800
Pleased to meet you, Jeremy.
39
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,718
What are you reading?
40
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,158
Poetry?
41
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,400
Romance?
42
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,918
A Vindication Of The Rights of
Woman?
43
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,918
What "rights" could a girl possibly
want
44
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,758
that a well-connected husband could
not supply?
45
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,078
Mrs Wollstonecraft touches on that
subject, papa.
46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,478
Perhaps you should read her?
47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,918
I have no time to waste on reading
48
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:52,440
the ravings of an educated woman.
49
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,480
And soon, I hope, nor will you.
50
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,960
George Warleggan has been invited to
call.
51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,998
Will you join us?
52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,398
Tomorrow he will be SIR George
Warleggan.
53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,320
May I defer that pleasure?
54
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,318
There'll be a reckoning when I
discover
55
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,078
who's responsible for my disgrace.
56
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,598
Do nothing in haste.
57
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,118
-They've no evidence of treachery.
-Because none exists.
58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,758
But evidence of loyalty, to present
to those who can influence
59
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,758
the matter and restore you to your
post,
60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,478
THAT I'm keen to procure.
61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,878
Do you know anyone who could speak
in your favour?
62
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,598
Bannantine, my secretary.
63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,958
But I've no notion where he went
after I was recalled.
64
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,678
I'll make enquires.
65
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,598
If he could help us discover who
falsely accused you...
66
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,720
My money's on that bastard Hanson.
67
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,118
But he alone could not have had me
recalled.
68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,158
Someone here, with vested interests
69
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,878
and no mean powers
70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,718
and connections, even up to
the Mad King himself,
71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,798
must have done that.
72
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,360
But they'll pay for it.
73
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,918
These areas here, here, here and
here
74
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,038
have yielded riches beyond measure
for upwards of 30 years.
75
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,558
But now demand outstrips supply
76
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,838
so there is a need to push to
regions more remote,
77
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,358
extraction thus more difficult,
78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,920
more labour thus required...
79
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Slave labour.
80
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:30,200
Would that be a concern?
81
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,560
Why would it?
82
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,998
Now, one is naturally reluctant to
invite new investors to take
83
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,480
a slice of the pie.
84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,638
But, due investment being required
85
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,798
and the rewards being bountiful...
86
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,400
All parties win.
87
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,160
I've never heard of the man.
88
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,720
Bannantine...?
89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,798
I have no idea where he might be.
90
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,798
Mm, no.
91
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,360
I've heard no word of Bannantine in
months.
92
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,678
It would appear that Bannantine has
vanished.
93
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,198
What's it taking so long?!
94
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,720
Ned, you need to have patience.
95
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,600
A veritable Nelson!
96
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,398
And all on credit!
97
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,278
As will be my training...
98
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:40,318
..unless I can secure a wealthy
benefactor.
99
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,598
Perhaps you could sell your charms
to an elderly duchess?
100
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,638
Good thought! Do you know of any?
101
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,518
Oh, Vauxhall is threshing with them!
102
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,318
You should try your luck tonight.
103
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,200
SERVANT CLEARS HER THROAT
104
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,438
You seem quite yourself again.
105
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,078
Why would you think otherwise?
106
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,438
Because, in the days before our
departure,
107
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,238
you appeared a little...
108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,920
..disordered with talk of Elizabeth.
109
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,558
Yes?
110
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,720
As if she was still with us.
111
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,800
Are you sure it's not YOU who
is disordered?
112
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,240
BABY CRIES
113
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,560
When will Papa return?
114
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,678
See'd Morwenna by the quay.
115
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Is there news?
116
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,038
What manner of news?
117
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,398
She looked so delicate and pale,
118
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,358
I thought maybe there was...?
119
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,838
What?
120
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,160
A child coming?
121
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Not unless it's a fairy child.
122
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,440
She does keep her distance, still?
123
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,760
She's yet so broken...
124
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,320
..and may never mend.
125
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,558
MERRY HUMMING
126
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,038
Right, impudence!
127
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,118
Get up and whitewash yon wall ye
burnt!
128
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,438
And wipe that smirk off,
'fore this besom do!
129
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,438
I can't help it, missus.
130
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,678
Thinking how I'd take a strap
to 'ee,
131
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,278
were I mistress here.
132
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,560
Thee? Mistress here?
133
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,720
Stranger things have happ'd.
134
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,878
SHE HUMS AGAIN
135
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,238
No-one can tell me
where Bannantine is,
136
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,518
but there is someone I think
we should meet.
137
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,960
The King declines to intervene on my
behalf...
138
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,080
..while I sit caged in a lodging
house, twiddling my thumbs.
139
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,638
Put 'em to use, then!
140
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,678
Tomorrow we have an appointment with
Joseph Merceron.
141
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,118
Tonight we promenade.
142
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,758
Thank you, no.
143
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,958
Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens hold
few attractions for me!
144
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,038
Does Kitty not deserve a night
on the town?
145
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,958
If she's anything like my wife...
146
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,320
Which she is.
147
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,358
Were you not all set to marry some
Irish countess after the war?
148
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,958
And you some Cornish heiress?
149
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,440
She preferred my cousin.
150
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,520
Lucky for you.
151
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,518
Do you think we made the right
choices?
152
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,398
Yes.
153
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,040
But not the easy ones!
154
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,320
MUSIC AND LAUGHTER
155
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,358
BYSTANDER: Where did he pick THAT
up?
156
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,760
Tasty.
157
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,038
Why do they look at her so?
158
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,598
Do they think she's...?
159
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,800
-A courtesan.
-What?!
160
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Dear Lord, Ross, how dare they?!
161
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,520
Isn't that Despard...?
162
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,240
Shame on you!
163
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,360
Shame on you, Despard!
164
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,118
Traitor!
165
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:20,160
A SLOW CLAP BEGINS
166
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,960
Colonel Despard.
167
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,080
Mr Hanson...
168
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,438
..of the Mosquito Shore
Mahogany Company.
169
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,478
Now returned to English soil.
170
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,358
You remember my wife, Catherine.
171
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,478
It's brave of you to venture out,
ma'am,
172
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,958
in view of your husband's
fall from grace.
173
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,758
But then, perhaps, you're not...
174
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,560
..unfamiliar with contempt?
175
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,358
You'll be familiar with my fist
if you don't apologise to my wife.
176
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,398
Ned, I'm sure Mr Hanson
meant no offence.
177
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,480
I can assure you none was taken.
178
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,958
As ever, we are redeemed by the
fairer sex.
179
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,160
No, I think it will take a lot more
than that...
180
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,840
..to redeem you, sir.
181
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,560
Ma'am.
182
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,758
Shall we?
183
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,078
You go crawl back under your stone,
Hanson!
184
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,318
Rest assured, you'll be made to pay!
185
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,558
Ned! Be calm.
186
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:35,998
Come away, now.
187
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,718
It's time we go.
188
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,318
She's a better woman than I.
189
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,878
-I'd have let him crown the man.
-I would've helped.
190
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,838
-How does that serve his cause?
-Dwight...
191
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,918
In fairness, the man was to blame
for his demise.
192
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,758
KITTY: Ned's agreed to take me home
now.
193
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,118
I think Kitty would feel safer
indoors.
194
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,518
CAROLINE: Then we'll all go.
195
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,278
No, please, we'd prefer to have time
by ourselves.
196
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,880
Of course, my dear.
197
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,480
And this is our new century?
198
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,920
Cecily...!
199
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,558
Did I not say you'd be spoilt for
choice?
200
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:39,518
The honourable Miss DeVere?
Countess Hathersage?
201
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,998
The more frightful the specimen,
the better your chances!
202
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,520
I'm flattered!
203
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,238
And you? Seen anyone to your liking?
204
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,078
No-one of whom Papa would approve.
205
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,398
You have no choice in the matter?
206
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,838
Did your mama choose her mate?
207
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,598
I expect she was somewhat directed.
208
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,000
And mine.
209
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,520
And it cost her.
210
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,998
All the more reason for you to be
mistress of your fate.
211
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,358
Tell that to Papa.
212
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,160
I shall, if I ever meet him.
213
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,478
Now's your chance.
214
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,760
He's over there.
215
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,598
Go on.
216
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,360
I dare you.
217
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,360
Very well.
218
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,758
What are you doing?
219
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,638
Miss Hanson dared me
220
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,158
to tell her papa she should marry
as she chooses.
221
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,038
Miss Hanson's papa is not one to
take advice.
222
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,678
You know him?
223
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:48,238
I know he's a man you should avoid.
224
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,880
-But...
-Just trust me.
225
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,678
So, what's to be done for Ned?
226
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:01,440
My hope is on Joseph Merceron.
227
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,918
ROSS BANGS HIS HEAD
228
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,360
THEY BOTH GIGGLE
229
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,358
-Gentlemen.
-Mr Merceron.
230
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,798
You wished to see me...
231
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,878
Please.
232
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,318
..in my capacity as patron of our
local charities...?
233
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,678
No, sir, as magistrate who presided
over
234
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,398
Colonel Despard's hearing.
235
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,600
And his subsequent unlawful
detention.
236
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,678
At the time of the hearing,
237
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,998
was there ever mention of a man
named Bannantine?
238
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,438
Bannantine?
239
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,398
My secretary in Honduras.
240
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,398
We believe he's been in London for
some time
241
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,478
and wondered why he was not called
upon
242
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,398
-to give evidence in his master's defence?
-Now, I recall.
243
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,158
The man was, indeed, sought
but could not be found.
244
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,438
His testimony could have made
all the difference.
245
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,080
In fully restoring my reputation and
enabling me to return to my post.
246
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,078
-Is that your intention?
-Why, man, what else would it be?!
247
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,958
This conspiracy has robbed me of
my name and my position
248
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,840
-and I want them restored!
-Colonel... -It is my right!
249
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,080
And I'll not rest till
it's been granted.
250
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,278
Well, gentlemen, if I can be
of any assistance
251
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,238
in your search for
Mr Bannantine...
252
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,358
We'd be most grateful.
253
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,958
And should you yourself discover
him, please do let me know.
254
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,000
Of course.
255
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,680
-Well, I wish you luck, colonel.
-Huh!
256
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,520
I'm a little out of practice.
257
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,398
You were never up to my standard.
258
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,838
Somebody must fight you, if only to
prevent you fighting all the world.
259
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,998
Joseph Merceron was trying to help.
260
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,918
I suppose I should thank you.
261
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,238
But what help can he bring?
262
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,440
I know you cannot bear inaction.
263
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,398
Or favours.
264
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,760
Or not being permitted to fight
your own battles.
265
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,438
I scarce know what those battle are.
266
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,040
I'll tell you when they're won.
267
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,640
How can one win against
an invisible enemy?
268
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,480
-Enough! Enough!
-Sir.
269
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,440
Would you like me to
do that, my dear?
270
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,758
After all...
271
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,878
..it would not do to be
late for the king
272
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,720
when one is receiving a knighthood.
273
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:21,398
Ladies, gentlemen, fellow members of
the Royal College of Surgeons,
274
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,798
may I welcome you to this lecture in
which I will attempt to articulate
275
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,638
my own - perhaps
controversial - views
276
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,880
of the causes and treatment
of insanity.
277
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,838
I have come to consider insanity
not as a moral failing,
278
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,520
nor an inherited one...
279
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,680
..but an affliction which may
happen to the best of us.
280
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,278
I am, of course, aware of
281
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,278
the plethora of conventional
treatments -
282
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,160
many and varied, but alike in their
brutality and lack of humanity.
283
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,878
Sir, are you suggesting that the
mad man - or woman -
284
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,878
does not benefit from a firm hand?
285
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,358
From my own observation
and experience, I suggest that
286
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:23,280
patience and simple kindness can
yield equal, if not better, results.
287
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,398
But what of the man who attempted
to assassinate His Majesty?
288
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,358
I do not know his history,
ma'am, but...
289
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:31,918
He is a soldier, sir,
290
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,398
who sustained severe sabre wounds to
the head in the service of the King.
291
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,438
I'm no lawyer, but I venture
to suggest that a man who has been
292
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,998
bludgeoned across the skull might
not be entirely of sound mind.
293
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,158
And if he's not of sound mind,
294
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,358
how can he be held accountable
for his actions?
295
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,878
Oh, come now...
296
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,238
The man was a assassin.
297
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,278
What you say intrigues me, sir.
298
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,318
-And you are...?
-Thomas Erskine.
299
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,440
Lawyer.
300
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,838
I will prove that the world isn't
fit to receive the Lamb -
301
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:08,918
I will prove it.
302
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,158
Is this agitation usual for him?
303
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,638
Countless testimonies say so.
304
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,400
There is no other way.
I alone was chosen.
305
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,118
I alone could herald the second
coming of the Lord.
306
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:24,120
Remind me - the legal definition
of insanity...?
307
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,918
The defendant must be lost to all
sense, incapable of forming
308
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,838
a judgment upon the consequences of
the act he is about to commit.
309
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,398
And his careful planning
of the assassination,
310
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,358
the purchasing of pistols -
the lucid reasons given in advance -
311
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,518
all seem to contradict such a claim.
312
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:42,998
To die a martyr - for that...
313
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,118
It is too much to ask?
314
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,720
Would you consider taking the
stand in his defence?
315
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,920
May I examine Mr Hadfield?
316
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,080
Of course.
317
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,160
Butter please, Jeremy.
318
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:13,878
Clumsy!
319
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,838
It's so squashed in here.
320
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,158
I think perhaps we should think
about other lodgings.
321
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,280
Absolutely not.
322
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,838
Demelza enjoys a crush.
323
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,118
When you've lived in one room with
a father and six brothers,
324
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:25,478
anything is spacious.
325
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,200
KNOCK AT DOOR
326
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,840
Thank you, sir.
327
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,080
I must go out.
328
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,518
I'll come with you. I need the air.
329
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,438
No, no, it's a private matter.
330
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,720
I won't be long.
331
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,398
Mr Bannantine?
332
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,440
Ross Poldark.
333
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,558
How did you know I was seeking you?
334
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,838
I have friends who frequent
certain inns,
335
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,200
make it their business to see
and not be seen.
336
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,958
As I have made it my business.
337
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:32,078
So, you know that Ned - Colonel
Despard - has lately been released?
338
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,558
Will you tell him it was not
indifference which kept me
339
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,238
-away from his hearing?
-Of course, but...
340
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,638
And if there's anything I can
now do to make amends...
341
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,038
There is.
342
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,240
Ned is free, but...
343
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,118
..there was no trial,
344
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:49,120
so there's still a cloud that hangs
over his reputation.
345
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,198
I was hoping you could
help me dispel it.
346
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,518
When Ned was governor in Honduras,
347
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,558
as his secretary, you would have
observed him at close quarters.
348
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,238
These accusations against him -
acting against the interests
349
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,038
of the Crown - I'm assuming they
were without foundation?
350
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,678
Utterly.
351
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,238
So, what prompted them?
352
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,918
Well, the Colonel could
be challenging, but...
353
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,358
..his opposition to slavery?
354
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:21,798
Housing, feeding, educating,
allocating land to slaves?
355
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,438
Marrying one?
356
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,438
The old colonists' and planters'
worst nightmare.
357
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,438
Undermines the entire structure
on which their fortunes are founded.
358
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,678
Would you be willing to
testify to this?
359
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,078
Do you have any idea who Hanson's
associates are here in London?
360
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:44,638
You must be aware, sir, that the
vested interests
361
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,438
which have conspired to crucify
our friend... If I, or you,
362
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,198
attempted to go against them...
363
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,320
..you've no idea what they're
capable of.
364
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,880
So, a wasted journey?
365
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,000
What he told me would vindicate
Ned, but...
366
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,638
..he'll never set it down,
for fear of reprisals.
367
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,720
Will you tell Ned?
368
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,560
What would be the point?
369
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,680
Perhaps it's for the best.
370
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,840
If such forces do exist...
371
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,280
..is it not wise to avoid 'em?
372
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,918
Ross...
373
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,920
That man who bid you
spy for him...?
374
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,838
Wickham?
375
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,320
If nought's been heard, perhaps
he's forgot you.
376
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,598
I seriously doubt it, Demelza.
377
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,878
All the more reason for you
to keep your head down,
378
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,798
keep clear of Ned's battles and
go about your business.
379
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,960
My business is Ned.
380
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,680
I am in his debt. You know that.
381
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,280
What can you do for him?
382
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,880
This is information which would
clear Ned Despard's name.
383
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,478
I cannot get Bannantine to set it
down,
384
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,238
but what he reports points to a conspiracy,
at the highest level, to silence and defame.
385
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,358
The highest level.
386
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:16,278
Which you would do well to avoid.
387
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,198
But when a man's reputation
is at stake...
388
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,238
Need I remind you, Captain, of
our present crisis?
389
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,758
A populace on the verge of a revolt
every bit as bloody as that of France.
390
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,518
-Mob violence. -But Ned is not...
-Attempts on the King's life...
391
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,158
But Ned is not part of this
violence.
392
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,118
It could be argued he's part
of a radical tide
393
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:33,518
-which is threatening to swamp the nation.
-Who says so?
394
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,480
Those whose greed and corruption
he threatened to expose?
395
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,078
You'll forgive me, Captain.
396
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,318
The Crown and I have more pressing
matters to attend to.
397
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,118
Not least of which is your friend,
Doctor Enys, agreeing
398
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:48,480
to take the stand for
James Hadfield.
399
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,158
Good day.
400
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,598
See?
401
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,278
Not everyone's as vile as
they were at Vauxhall.
402
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,840
That's because they think
I'm your maid.
403
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,558
I told you.
404
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,758
I'm invincible.
405
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,278
Nephew?
406
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,320
Aunt Demelza!
407
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,158
May I introduce Miss Hanson?
408
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,758
Ralph Hanson's daughter?
409
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,158
My Aunt Demelza.
410
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,358
We escaped my chaperone.
411
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:49,598
You won't tell on us?
412
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,118
Of course not!
Aunt Demelza's a regular sport.
413
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:54,840
In truth, I feel a little uneasy.
414
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,798
Without your parents' permission...
415
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,398
My mother's dead and I care not
what my father thinks.
416
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,600
Yet I think he'd not care to have
you gallivanting about together.
417
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,398
We're but common acquaintances.
418
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,120
Uncommon acquaintances.
419
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,078
Will you not be our trusted friend?
420
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,920
We'd esteem it the greatest favour.
421
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,118
Very well. But be discreet.
422
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,360
-Thank you!
-You're the best of aunts.
423
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,120
Another game?
424
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,478
RUSTLING
425
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,760
TWIG SNAPS
BIRD TAKES FLIGHT
426
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,438
Are you sure you're not wishing we
had the place to ourselves?
427
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,480
No.
428
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,120
Just...
429
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,158
I keep thinking someone's
watching us.
430
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,478
I know you'll say it's just
my imagination,
431
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,638
and why would anyone wish
to follow us.
432
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,640
It's as if I have any proof,
I just...
433
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,600
I know I'm bein' foolish.
434
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,558
Perhaps I should not have
asked you here.
435
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,798
-Are you wishin' me gone already?
-No!
436
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,598
I'm wishing London were not
so strange and so full of shadows.
437
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,200
Is Cornwall not so, too?
438
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,520
Indeed, is anywhere truly free
of those who wish us ill?
439
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,558
And we do not even know
who they are.
440
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,400
Then let us hold fast to those
we know we can trust.
441
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,840
Then hold fast to me, my love.
442
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,958
DOG GROWLS
443
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,160
I know who it belong to -
but I think it suit me better.
444
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,640
And tis maybe not the only thing
of hers sit better on me.
445
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,718
What you have in that knapsack,
Samuel Carne?
446
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,638
Slice o' my heavy cake?
447
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,878
Back to yer hoein', Miss Impudent!
448
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,720
Maybe we two should hoe together?
449
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,078
Get off!
450
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,120
Now!
451
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,718
# There was an old couple
and they were poor
452
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,318
# They lived in a house
with only one door
453
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,678
# Oh, what a poor couple where they
where they
454
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,920
# What a poor couple... #
455
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,318
Is that...
456
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,360
..Valentine?
457
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,998
Valentine?
458
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,040
Morwenna.
459
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,438
Are you alone?
460
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,720
Is your maid not with you?
461
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,118
I escaped.
462
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,558
What would your papa say?
463
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,998
He's gone.
464
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,760
-Where?
-To find Mama.
465
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,318
But sweetheart...
466
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,198
..your mama, she...
467
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,600
Went away? Yes.
468
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,160
And Papa told me he'd
bring her back.
469
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:39,800
I...
470
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,120
-I don't think he can have meant that, my love.
-He did.
471
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,080
He promised me.
He will bring her back.
472
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,640
Master Valentine!
473
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,400
Where have you been?
474
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,118
In the words of Governor
Colonel Edward Despard,
475
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,558
"Man's inhumanity to man
476
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,078
"manifests in its worst form
in the obscenity
477
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,638
"which is the slave trade."
478
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,958
ALL SHOUTING
479
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,198
Order!
480
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:40,278
"Arguments in favour of slavery
are abominable
481
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,400
"in the ingenuity of their
twisted reasoning."
482
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,318
Colonel Despard has been alone
in his attempts to ease
483
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,678
the plight of these men and women.
And how long...?
484
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,678
How long will we turn
a blind eye
485
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,880
to the suffering of these
poor souls?
486
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,400
Order!
487
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,880
This came for you.
488
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,038
"Against my better judgment,
I have done as you asked.
489
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,520
"Do not entreat me further".
490
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,360
Bannantine?
491
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,278
Ross, it says Ned was faultless in
his duty, devoted to his workers
492
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,920
fiercely loyal to the Crown.
493
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,438
Does he name Ned's accusers?
494
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,480
He said he dared not.
495
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,718
Then what can you do with it?
496
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,120
Take it to Joseph Merceron.
497
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,918
As presiding magistrate, he might
have means to make a public
498
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,640
exoneration of Ned's character.
499
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,758
Ross...
500
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,838
..is it wise to take up Ned's
cause so publicly,
501
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,398
with magistrates and the like?
502
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,278
And Ned being so fiery, he's not
a man to hold his tongue.
503
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,718
Perhaps...
504
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,240
-..there is a better way.
-What?
505
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,760
I will return later.
506
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,278
Are you certain?
507
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,758
I am resolved.
508
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,078
The establishment will
not thank you.
509
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,478
Mr Hadfield's wellbeing
is my concern,
510
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,200
not spurious notions of justice.
511
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,878
"Colonel Edward Despard -
A True And Impartial Account."
512
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,318
And what will you do with them?
513
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,278
Circulate them amongst MPs I deem
sympathetic to Ned's cause.
514
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,480
Not that there are many!
515
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,038
But I must begin somewhere.
516
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,838
Ned, Dwight is due to
take the stand.
517
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,960
This will put the cat amongst
the pigeons.
518
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,200
Dr Dwight Enys to the stand.
519
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:04,000
My Lord.
520
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,118
We have heard the defendant
plead not guilty
521
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,518
on the grounds of insanity.
522
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,120
But how do we define insanity?
523
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,518
As one who has treated many such
cases, I have observed
524
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,798
that the true character of insanity
is not wild frenzy
525
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,838
or raving madness,
526
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:23,960
but delusion.
527
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,078
I suggest, therefore, that if
a man's accountability
528
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,158
rests upon his reason,
529
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,398
then the loss of that reason
renders him not accountable.
530
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,278
CROWD MURMURS
531
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,560
Order!
532
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:52,358
James wrote this?
533
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,158
Ross had 'em printed.
534
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,838
He means to circulate 'em amongst
a few sympathetic MPs.
535
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,120
But I have a better idea.
536
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,878
The defendant served with
the Duke of York's bodyguard
537
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,718
at the Battle of Tourcoing,
538
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:08,158
where he sustained eight
sabre blows to the head,
539
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,878
four of which are sufficient
540
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,838
to cause permanent and irreversible
brain damage.
541
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,798
It cannot escape the Court
that these injuries,
542
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,278
which have deprived the defendant
of his reason,
543
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,320
were sustained in the service
of the Crown itself.
544
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:24,800
Order!
545
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,600
Thank you, sir.
546
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:39,918
Thank you very much.
547
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,718
I have spoken with fellow officers,
who attest to the bravery
548
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:47,478
and loyalty of the defendant
prior to his injuries.
549
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,438
His sisters confirm this
marked transformation.
550
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,558
His landlady...
551
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,438
Are there many more examples?
552
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,798
Yes, my Lord.
553
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,480
At least 30 more have testified
in the same vein.
554
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,798
Since it can no longer be doubted
that when the act was committed,
555
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,078
the defendant was not of sound mind,
556
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,798
the Court has no option
but to halt the trial
557
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:26,078
and acquit the defendant on
the grounds of insanity.
558
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,120
Thank you, My Lord.
559
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,518
He is...
560
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,198
He is, however, an extremely
dangerous
561
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:41,160
member of society, who, for his own
sake, must not be discharged.
562
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,920
All rise!
563
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:03,038
If he's not to be released,
does that mean committal
564
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,558
to an institution?
565
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,238
Bedlam, I imagine.
566
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:08,558
Then I'm sorry I intervened.
567
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,320
Execution would have been kinder.
568
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,478
Bannantine came forward, sir.
569
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,918
-He agreed to share his evidence.
-Did he, indeed?
570
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,920
Are you convinced by its veracity?
571
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,118
Utterly.
572
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,078
Do you think I should doubt it?
573
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,920
In these uncertain times,
shouldn't we doubt everyone?
574
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:40,038
Ralph Hanson and George Warleggan.
575
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,278
What could they possibly
have in common?
576
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,720
Perhaps I should give them
one of these.
577
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:52,998
This is tremendous!
578
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,040
Where did you...?
579
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,798
Is Bannantine in London?
580
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,518
Come with me.
581
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,600
Let's see if this has the
effect I intend.
582
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,118
Gentlemen, may I beg your indulgence
583
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,518
and ask you to read
these pamphlets? Thank you.
584
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:14,718
Though I say it myself...
585
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:19,038
Mr Burdett, I believe this subject
will find sympathy with you, sir.
586
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Good day to you.
587
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,558
Sir George!
588
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,318
I observed you with Ralph Hanson.
589
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:27,560
A new business venture?
590
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,198
George, I wonder...?
591
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,798
Geoffrey Charles is resolved
to serve his country
592
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,798
as an officer - but that he cannot
do without sufficient means.
593
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,638
I believe we've exhausted
this subject.
594
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,038
Why would I wish to revisit it?
595
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,720
Because we both know it's what
his mother would want.
596
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,158
Oh.
597
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,840
We both know, do we?
598
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,198
What do you know of my wife?
599
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,158
You were nothing to her.
600
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,200
An irrelevance.
601
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,560
And to me.
602
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,958
So, that night, when you said,
603
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,800
"See what we have brought her to..."
604
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,840
What did you mean?
605
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,440
That we had been the death of her.
606
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,558
Between your inability
to let her go,
607
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,520
and my unfounded suspicions,
we hounded her to an early grave.
608
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,000
I take my share of the blame.
Take yours.
609
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,200
Ambushed!
610
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:39,000
Tears?
611
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,880
Most unbecoming in a cadet.
612
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:50,520
Your mama...
613
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:54,680
I expect she was adorable.
614
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,120
Would you like to see her picture?
615
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,798
A beauty!
616
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,678
Of course!
617
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,280
How else would her son be Adonis?
618
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:27,960
I'd almost forgot how to laugh.
619
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,238
For months I've had no humour.
620
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:33,878
No company.
621
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,440
No purpose.
622
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,400
What if I make it my mission
to entertain you?
623
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,878
Then I should do the like for you!
624
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,280
Are we not both motherless pups,
in need of diversion?
625
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,958
Lord, what are we to do?
626
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,638
Please don't tell me they've
formed an attachment.
627
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,240
It will not end well, I fear.
628
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,358
So, we nip this in the bud,
return to Cornwall,
629
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,118
and take Geoffrey Charles with us.
630
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,480
It will at least keep him away from
that odious man, Ralph Hanson.
631
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:20,720
I pity his daughter.
632
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,158
A momentous day!
633
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,358
When our Empire spreads beyond
these shores to the very
634
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,200
edges of the New World!
635
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,880
Have you read this travesty?
636
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,358
Glanced at it.
637
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,038
It defames, without cause,
638
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,158
certain persons - not by name,
but by implication -
639
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,758
which could endanger their
interests in Honduras.
640
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:53,800
And ours?
641
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,198
Regrettably.
642
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,598
Can anything be done?
643
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,278
Well, the obvious route is
to discredit Despard,
644
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,920
along with his friend, Poldark.
645
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,318
Ross? Interesting. How?
646
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,078
In the present climate,
not difficult.
647
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,440
What the Crown fears above
all else is revolution.
648
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,678
Poldark was present when Hadfield
tried to kill the King.
649
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,158
But intervened to prevent it.
650
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,878
Did he?
651
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,800
Or was he merely there to cover up
his own involvement?
652
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,118
Then, note how his friend, Enys,
helped to free the assassin.
653
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,398
Well, the connections are
somewhat tenuous...
654
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,518
Ah, but cleverly managed,
655
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,438
they could create the impression...
656
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:38,878
..of a conspiracy.
657
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:44,798
Poldark, Despard, Enys - three men
with known Jacobin sympathies.
658
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,838
Could be seen as hostile
to the Crown.
659
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,080
Precisely, Sir George.
660
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:51,960
But...
661
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,640
..to more pleasant matters.
662
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:08,158
ELIZABETH: Are you sure, George?
Is this really what you wish?
663
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,560
Is it what I wish?
664
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,878
-What?
-The investment is high, but so, I'm told, are the rewards.
665
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,038
Oh, the rewards!
666
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,678
Rewards are never guaranteed.
667
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,798
And how well do you know this man?
Can he be trusted?
668
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,598
Can he be trusted?
669
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:25,838
Nephew...?
670
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,798
My uncle will say we have proceeded
with all care and due diligence.
671
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,318
Of whom are we speaking?
672
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,238
But is this something Ross
would entertain?
673
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:34,958
Do I care what Ross would entertain?
Have I not a mind of my own?
674
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,758
Sir, I beg your indulgence,
675
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:42,118
but I cannot allow my nephew
to sign this document.
676
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,358
What...?
677
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,478
Not being sufficiently confident
of the merits of the deal.
678
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:48,878
Sir, I assure you...
679
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,678
Sir George and I will confer and
report our decision in due course.
680
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:53,720
Good day to you, sir.
681
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,118
-Do we dine at home tonight?
-The Golden Hind, at Bedfont.
682
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,878
We must hurry if we're to reach
Trenwith by Sunday.
683
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,678
We're going to Trenwith?
684
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,320
Ah! Is this not good news, my dear?
685
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,120
Thank you for your kind words.
686
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:30,960
Well done, Colonel. True patriot.
687
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:36,038
We seem to be very popular
here today.
688
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,518
Mission accomplished.
689
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:38,840
Tomorrow, Honduras!
690
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,878
Well, my dears, let the gentlemen
have their small victories!
691
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,078
For today, it was we ladies
who made the difference!
692
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,558
I leave tomorrow.
My credit has run out.
693
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,238
Returning to Cornwall?
694
00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:53,158
How dismal!
695
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,880
-Will you miss me?
-Not in the least!
696
00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:57,320
Nor I you.
697
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,518
So, the pamphlets were a triumph.
698
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,838
And there was I, thinking you
might not approve!
699
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,080
Well, in truth, I was not
altogether convinced.
700
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,160
And then I bethought me...
701
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,760
..what is a marriage if we
stand not together?
702
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,438
Must I not trust your judgment,
as you must trust mine?
703
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,438
I admit, even did not dare to hope
704
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,478
-for such a rapid and widespread response.
-Yes.
705
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,320
I may have had a hand in that.
706
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:30,718
Oh?
707
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:35,798
I may have given out a few
pamphlets at Hyde Park -
708
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,280
and encouraged Kitty and Caroline
to do the like.
709
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:42,680
Did I do wrong?
710
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,718
Ross, I only thought that the more
folk who know the truth, the better.
711
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:47,760
Yes, but...
712
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:54,918
..a discreet circulation to
sympathetic colleagues is one thing.
713
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,238
A wholesale papering of all
of London, it...
714
00:47:57,240 --> 00:47:58,638
What?
715
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,758
It does leave the Government
with nowhere to hide.
716
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,040
Do it need to hide?
Ought it to?
717
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,280
You're right, my love.
718
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,280
It deserves to be exposed.
719
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,678
And whatever consequences
there may be...
720
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:16,720
Will there be?
721
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:20,600
Probably not.
722
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,600
-KNOCK AT DOOR
-Come.
723
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:40,440
You wished to see me.
724
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,838
So, Ned Despard has been
repositioned as the heroic victim
725
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,358
of a vile conspiracy.
726
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,118
He is the victim of a vile
conspiracy!
727
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,238
Take care you do not become
embroiled in one.
728
00:48:57,240 --> 00:48:59,558
-I?
-Since your reconnection with Despard,
729
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,718
you've begun to associate with other
Jacobins - Despard's wife,
730
00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:06,598
-the assassin who tried to kill the king...
-The man I disarmed?
731
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,758
And now your friend, Enys, is the
scourge of the Attorney General.
732
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,078
In isolation, these connections
would not be troubling.
733
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,958
Put them together and
a pattern emerges.
734
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,400
I've done nothing to merit
mistrust of any kind.
735
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:23,640
Except for this.
736
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,518
Had you been patient, Despard
may have returned to his post.
737
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,798
Your intervention has done
the very thing
738
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,078
the Government wished to avoid -
739
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,278
it's drawn attention to an
unfortunate situation.
740
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:35,518
A miscarriage of justice.
741
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,638
Which has embarrassed the Crown
and its ministers.
742
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,000
Now, the Crown requires you
to make amends.
743
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:48,440
At least, they do not
specifically name me.
744
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,958
Though anyone familiar with my
methods would guess at its target.
745
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,398
But Despard could not know
for certain
746
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,520
who led the campaign for his recall.
747
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,920
Bannantine should pay
for this treachery.
748
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:12,880
Spy on Ned and Kitty?
749
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:19,798
Can you refuse?
750
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,720
I can remove us from this place
and take us all to Cornwall.
751
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,518
Will you tell Ned what
you've been asked?
752
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,038
Why would I?
753
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,560
I've no intention of doing it.
754
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:34,198
-Dear Lord, Ross...
-We're going home. Are you not glad?
755
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,278
Of course - but like this?
Under such a threat?
756
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,600
There'll be no threat
once we're in Cornwall.
757
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,638
Cecily, I have a journey to make.
758
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,838
I'm leaving for Cornwall.
759
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,600
You will accompany me.
760
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,320
Pray, do not trouble me with
your objections.
761
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,680
I would not dream of it, Papa.
762
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,800
A few weeks of Cornish air will
do us all the power of good.
763
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,918
Ah, Valentine!
764
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,680
Look who I've brought home with me.
765
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,838
When I saw you that day,
766
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,200
with young Valentine...
767
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,840
..seeing you comfort and
talk to him...
768
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,798
..made me desire to have you comfort
and talk to a child of our own.
769
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:47,918
Drake...
770
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,520
And maybe that day will never come.
771
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:55,878
But dare we not hope?
772
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,438
If something is broken
beyond recall...
773
00:52:58,440 --> 00:52:59,480
But is it?
774
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,600
Truly?
775
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:06,920
Beyond recall?
776
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,078
Mama, I'm starving!
777
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,678
So you've said, my love - every five
minutes since we left Plymouth.
778
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:44,998
Shall we see if they have any cake
779
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,118
-while we wait for the horses to be changed?
-Yes, please!
780
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,520
Go on, go and sit down there.
781
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:54,918
Miss Hanson?
782
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,640
A welcome surprise.
783
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,158
Easy, boy.
784
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,398
Let's not treat our fellow diners
to displays of martial arts.
785
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:15,718
No, indeed.
786
00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:17,840
A cup of tea would be far
less distractin'.
787
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,000
Are you staying in Truro, sir?
788
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:25,998
Yes, I am.
789
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,680
Well, perhaps you'd appreciate some
reading matter for the evening.
790
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:38,920
Cecily, go to your room.
791
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,040
Yes, Papa.
792
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,160
"A True And Honest Account
by James Bannantine."
793
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,398
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
794
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:12,800
Mr Bannantine?
795
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:25,560
Is she here?
796
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,038
She said she'd be here.
She promised.
797
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,678
Sit, nephew - take some refreshment.
798
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,358
But where is she?
799
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,718
She'll, er, she'll be
here presently.
800
00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:38,440
-But she did say so?
-Yes. She said so.
801
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,720
Ah, there she is!
802
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,678
My dear, would you take
a little port?
803
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,678
Thank you, my dear.
804
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,360
How good it is to be home again.
805
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:39,398
Are you happy now?
806
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,160
With our feet back on Cornish soil.
807
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:43,760
All's right in the world.
808
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,998
London cannot touch us.
809
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,478
No.
810
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:02,520
It cannot.
811
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,878
Accident! Accident at Wheal Plenty!
812
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,238
Up to 20 miners missing -
some of them children.
813
00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:13,278
For a man of Sir George's
stubbornness,
814
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,718
a more robust approach
is required.
815
00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:19,678
I see no reason to account to you
for the welfare of my grandson.
816
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,518
-Clear the way!
-No! No! Ned!
817
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,480
Is it not a slave's duty to
perform as directed?
818
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,120
Where did you get that?
