Friends,

on behalf
of Captain Poldark,

who sadly can't be
with us here today,

but who has gifted us this land
for the building of our school,

it'd give me pleasure
to lay the first stone

and ask a blessing
on our mission,

which is to bring knowledge
and learning to all.

Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker!

Can any here give me reason

why a loyal, high-ranking,
servant of the Crown

is being held awaiting trial,
without redress,

in the most squalid
of conditions?

Is this how we reward
devotion to duty?

These accusations are
demonstrably false.

Colonel Despard is
a devoted patriot

who has been grossly misused
by the Crown.

My Dearest Demelza,

My hopes of a swift release
for Ned have come to naught.

Indeed, there's no prospect
of release at all.

Still, I will not give up
his cause without a fight.

I've petitioned Pitt,

Canning, Addington.

Does no one comprehend
there's no grounds

for Ned's arrest.Captain, could it be

that I've overestimated
your capabilities?

Essential for a covert role

is the ability
to remain silent and unseen.

Is silence appropriate
in the face of...

What is appropriate is
detachment.

To be invested in an outcome,
or a friend,

is a threat
to any mission.

A mission
I never sought.

Yet you accepted the terms.

And now, when the subject has
run his own head into a noose,

you continue
to champion him.

Detach.

For your own sake.

Step away.

Your maiden speech
in the House

has not endeared you
to the tender-hearted.

Despite my saying
what everyone knows,

that slavery is the foundation
of our empire.

It's becoming
less fashionable to say so,

but the success
of our business dealings

with Merceron
and Hanson

rely on it.Yes indeed.

The irony is I've no opinion
one way or the other.

I was merely
following instructions.

Ah, good to see you,
my lord, your ladyship...

On the matter
of Miss Hanson...

does the connection
still serve us?

It serves me to know

that Ross and Despard will
be brought to heel.

The girl is incidental.

Papa, you must know

that I did not wish Mr. Poldark
to ask for my hand.

That's very wise of you.

I told him to wait.

And I hope I can prevail
upon you...

In Honduras, do you recollect
how little you saw of me?

I was building
with my bare hands

the foundations
of our fortune.

Yourfortune.

Do you think
that I would consent

to throw that all away

on some disgraced
and penniless boy?

He was not disgraced!

You know he was falsely accused.

One day...

you will thank me...

...for providing you

with a mate that matches
your station.

Jeremy, Clowance,

hurry up and
finish your breakfast.

Make haste,
Morwenna will be expecting you.

Here, take an apple each.

Can Garrick come?No, he may not.

Prudie, coats.
Jeremy, your books.

Clowance, you get your shoes on,
please.

Sit down. I'll take 'em.No, I'd rather.

Zacky Martin's here
to see 'ee.

What?

Good morning.

Zacky. Come in, come in,
go through there.

Make haste, me little chibbies.

Hmm.

Must you be
in such haste to escape?

Were it up to I,
I would never leave this bed.

Nor I.

Having feared it
for so long,

I have much to make up for.

Five minutes?Ten?

I waited awhile, mistress,
to be sure,

but now there be no doubt.

Ore comes up from the mine,
is stored as we belong to do,

but when it come to be
processed, only half remains.

And the rest?

How long have you known?

Two month ago I first
suspicioned,

but this past week, I put men
on to weighing and measuring,

and now there be
no doubt.

Someone's stealing
our ore.

But...

must it not be someone
with a knowledge

of the workings
and movings of the mine?

One of our own?

Sadly, yes.

"My help cometh even from the Lord,

who hath made
Heaven and Earth."

Excellent.

And thy help hath indeed
come from the Lord,

that 'ee may do greater good
for the school.

Nay, Sam, I believe
'tis your patience

and kindness
that 'ave helped me so far.

Ye make learning
a pleasure.

Now I must tend
to my flock.

'Tis lucky they are,
to have such a preacher.

'Tis a calling
to be a servant of God.

But do 'ee not find it
some lonely?

Sometimes.

And I-- though
my own days be full--

do oft find that I lack
someone to share 'em with.

Shall we read again
tomorrow?

Gladly.

Well, friend,
am I not living proof

of the adage, "A healthy mind
in a healthy body"?

I think you've looked better.

I'd look worse,
were it not for my wife.

Whose acquaintance
with this "palace"

has taught her
who can be bribed

in order to make my life
faintly less degrading.

Mmm. Most of the guards
think I'm a witch.

So I can threaten them
with spells as well as coins.

The dulcet tones

of happy inmates,

helping to advance
medical science.

So far I've been spared
the privilege.

Excuse me while I, uh,

hex the guards into
ensuring that continues.

Please do.

Guards.

The nights are long here

and afford one ample time
for reflection.

What do you reflect?

How I should have played
the game.

Kept my head down
and my mouth shut.

One way or another,

I'll get you out of here,
Colonel.

Captain.

Regarding Despard's
impending trial,

Lord Ellenborough's
the judge,

Sir Spencer Perceval
the Crown.

It seems
the prosecution agree

that while the due process
of law must be observed...

Hmm.
Trial by 12 good men.

True justice sometimes requires
a little assistance.

And in this case,

the names of a hundred
potential jurors

have been circulated
by the Crown,

amongst their
trusted associates,

in order to ascertain where
their sympathies might lie.

And who has been entrusted

with this selection?

Gentlemen?

Mr. Merceron.

He will not be swayed.

So now we have no choice.

None.

But how shall it
be managed?

Leave that to me.

I'll send word.

I fear the Crown grows wearyof Ned.

And may use this opportunity
to rid itself of him

once and for all.

But he's no traitor.

By today's reckoning,he is.

Of course, Ross thinks

he was simply in the
wrong place, at the wrong time,

with the wrong people.And you think?

That whoever set him up
has been clever.

Clearing him will be
no easy matter.

Well, if the Crown
doesn't kill him, prison will.

Kitty's bribes may be
all that saves him

from being tortured.

Is this true?Oh, yes.

And sanctioned
by governors, I'm sure.

Who can prevent them?

There might be someone
who could advise me.

I've been documenting everything

concerning Ned's predicament.

It appears the governors have
turned a blind eye

to his plight,

whether through negligence

or-or in exchange
for bribes.

As magistrate,
is it not in your power

to call the governors
to account?

Perhaps you think I'd do better to petition Parliament

to force the governors
to act.

I would not advise it.

Let me think on it.

You were right to bring it
to my attention.

May I keep the record?

I think I'd prefer
to retain it, sir.

As you wish.

Thank you.

Slow down, Clowance.

I can't catch up.

Hey there, Morwenna.Hello to you.

CLOWANCE:Jeremy!

Jeremy, can you get a stick
for Garrick?

JEREMY:Coming.

JEREMY:Got one.

You do know if folks see us
walking out together,

they'll think
we're courting?

I said that to Drake once.

And see how that
turned out.

I shall always regret
how things ended

'twixt my brother
and thee.

And yet, in the end,

maybe not.

For it may yet all turn out
for the best.

Oh.

Well...
you're a quick learner.

You're a fine teacher.

If I dared...

instruct 'ee
on another matter.

Rosina?

She'd make
a fine wife.

Maybe I need no instructing
there.

So, will 'ee ask her?

Maybe.

Preacher Carne!

'Tis well met.

May I ask 'ee,

be there any hope
for sinners?

Surely.Can a body

learn to live a good
and purer life?

Anyone can do that.

Could 'ee maybe
teach me how?

But perhaps
I am too great a sinner

for thy God to forgive.

The Lord would say
there be no such thing

as a body
beyond forgiveness.

His mercy be praised.

According to Joseph,

the girl is still
consorting

with my brat
of a stepson.

And does that distress you?

Not in the least.

The pain will be all the keener

when they come to be parted.

I had it cleaned and mended.

I hope it still fits.

I think Erskine
an excellent man.

He got Hadfield acquitted.

And Hadfield shot the king.

So...

tomorrow?

You'll be home for supper.

Shall we have beef?

Guinea fowl.

And four bottles of canary.

Followed by a gavotte.

A small, private ceremony.

I've scarce been widowed
two years.

A grand affair would be vulgar
and ostentatious.

As you wish.

I will leave you
to communicate arrangements

to the happy bride.

Cecily!

Prepare yourself.

It will be
the day after tomorrow.

Captain Poldark.How are we feeling?

Get up.

Turn around.

Arms behind your back.

GEORGE:A useful part of
a gentlemen's education,

to see a traitor condemned.

Especially such
a tiresome one.

All rise.

Gentlemen of the jury,

we see before us today

one of the most heinous traitors

this country has
ever known.

Edward Despard

was present at an illegal
political meeting.

His fellow conspirators,
including disaffected members

of the armed services,
had illegal oaths

in their pockets.

They were plotting

nothing less

than the cold-blooded murder
of the king.

How would they achieve this?

By turning a ceremonial cannon

on his Majesty's carriage

as he passed

on his way
to the House of Commons.

And the ultimate aim

of this act of terror?

To signal the start of a revolt

to overthrow the government
and Crown,

and to establish a republic

to emulate that of France.

Outrageous.

He'll be laughed out of court.

There's not one ounce
of proof.ERSKINE: No doubt.

Order! Order!

Sir?

My love,

we must act immediately,
or we are lost.

What other explanation could there be

for a gentleman of
the prisoner's standing

to be consorting with the rags

and tatters of society?

Perhaps he did not consider them
as "rags and tatters."

Did he have a motive...

This is nonsense,

you have to do something.

How credible is it...If the...

...that a handful of "rags and tatters"

would seriously believe
they could overthrow

the government and Crown

and single-handedly establish
a republic?

More to the point,

is it likely that an experienced

and highly decorated
army colonel

would share that delusion?

I invite you to consider

not how improbable
its success appears to you,

but how probable

its success might appearto them.

An English revolt?

Headed by the man

who had already led a revolution
in Honduras

by making convicts, rebels,

and slaves the equal
of their masters?

I keep thinking how it must be
for Kitty...

and for Ross.

I dearly wish
I was there

what with this theft
at the mine...

Well, here's where
you're needed, sister.

'Specially with such
fainaiguins afoot.

He needs watching.

I'll go.

You have my forks fettled
in time for supper.

Would you, sir, please state your name to the court?

I never once saw this man
in the Oakley Arms.

I doubt many of these
witnesses were ever there.

So they perjure themselves.For a price, I imagine.

"The King is our enemy."

And how many times

did you hear him say
this phrase?

Multiple times.PERCEVAL: Multiple times.

Thank you very much.

And what was the precise words that you heard

the defendants speak
in the Oakley Arms?

He said that
we should kill the king.

How do we refute this?We don't.

And how many times...Enough of this.

On numerous occasions.Call me to the stand!

Over there!
Someone is watching us.

Get her!Leave it where it is!

You will not take the stand.That's absurd.

Who better to speak
for myself than I?

Someone who can say of you
what you cannot say yourself.

I served with Colonel Despard
in the American war.

Even though
it was a war we lost,

his commitment to his country

and fellow soldiers

never wavered.

If you lose this one,
you'll have me to answer to.

Stitch him up, Enys,
his war is not over yet.

After the war had ended

and I had returned home,
he continued.

To the Spanish Main,

to fight alongside
Horatio Nelson.

As a young officer
in Jamaica,

he dug ditches,

built fortifications,

risked his life countless times
in battle.

In the disease-riddled swamps
of Honduras,

he learned that

survival depended
on working with

the so-called
"rags and tatters of society"--

Native Indians,
convicts, slaves.

Giving to all--
regardless of sex,

color, class, or creed--

the right to have a say.

He asked the question:

should nations be ruled
by force,

by an elite,

or by consent?

Everything he has ever done

has been in service
to the Crown.

To suggest now

that he seeks to murder
his sovereign

and overthrow the nation

for which he has labored
unswervingly

is-is, frankly, risible.

He is a patriot
of the highest order,

and the Crown should
honor him.

Instead of attempting
to cover up

its mistreatment of him

by inventing crimes
he did not commit.

We need to get Dwight Enys
on the stand.

I suppose it's worth a try.

And were ye recognized?

I don't think so.

I was too far away.

Let's round up
a passel of men

and head straight
for Jacka's.

Nay, I think we should wait.

We've no clue
what them up to.

Whether it is our ore
they're shipping away.

What else could it be?

I've no wish to confront 'em
without just cause.

'Tis better to watch
and wait.

And catch them
in the act?

Agreed.

So give 'em no sign
we suspect 'em.

'Specially not that one.

That's if she's involved,

and so far
there's no proof of it.

I served with
Colonel Despard

as army surgeon
during the American war.

During that campaign

he sustained a number
of serious head injuries.

Subsequent tropical fevers
and further cerebral wounds--

all sustained
in the service of the Crown--

have taken their toll,

and I believe that permanent

and irreversible brain damage
has occurred.

As in the case
of James Hadfield,

the true character
of insanity reveals itself,

not as wild frenzy
or raving madness,

but as delusion.

There is no doubt

in my mind

that Colonel Despard
is delusional.

His actions, his speech,

his view of himself and his
place in the world

clearly indicate that
he is not of sound mind.

I therefore ask the court to
release him

and allow him to receive
the humane treatment

appropriate
to his condition,

which I will personally
undertake to supervise.

All rise.

Let's hope we're in

for a lengthy wait.Yes.

The longer they argue, the
better the chance of acquittal.

My dearest Cecily, we leave tonight.

He has arranged it.

Already?
They took barely ten minutes.

I know.
Surprise to me.

Excellent.

Why?

It means the jury agreed
without arguing.

What did they agree?

What should they have agreed?

Uncle Ross's friend
should go free.

"Uncle Ross"?

He's no relation of yours, boy.

All rise.

Have you reached a verdict?

We have, my Lord.

Do you find the defendant

guilty or not guilty?

We find him...

guilty, my Lord.

My Lord, we do earnestly

recommend the prisoner
to mercy,

on account
of the high testimonials

to his former good character

and eminent services.

It was not enough.

Does the prisoner wish

to make a final statement?

Innocence is its own statement,
my Lord.

It now remains for me

to pronounce the dreadful
sentence of the law,

which is...

that you be taken
to a place of execution,

there to be hanged
by the neck.

But not until you are dead,

then cut down
and your bowels taken out

and cast into the fire
before your face,

your head to be taken off

and your body quartered.

All rise.

I'm amazed.

Such a sentence
has never been pronounced

in 50 years.Can we not appeal?

I regret
there's nothing more

we can do for him.

"Break him from the jail"?ROSS:
I need you

to get me into the prison
in the first place.

I am known and
always watched like a hawk.

Whereas you...DWIGHT:
Caroline,

help me knock some sense
into him.

Dr. Enys will do
whatever is required.

Caroline, are you mad?

Because Dr. Enys recollects
that he himself

has been the beneficiary
of such an escape.

Do you really compare the two?

I was a prisoner of war,

captured in the service
of my country.

Kitty, you must pack.

Ross will find you
somewhere to hide

till you can get safe passage
to Jamaica.

Very well,

I will join you,
to make sure

he doesn't break more heads
than he needs to.

You're insane.

Yeah?

Dr. Ransome to see
the prisoner Despard.

Who?Man sentenced

to hang tomorrow?

Been taken ill, and
I'm ordered to attend on him.

Careful with that bag,
fool.

Drop it again, and
I'll have you horsewhipped.

Small token

for your pains.

Friend of yours
sends a message.

Kitty?

You know Kitty?

Asks if you would kindly
leave the door open

in exchange for these?

Don't stand there idling.

The guards change
at midnight.

Guards?

Kitty has drawn us a map.

It's basic,
but it gives an idea.

We have just under
ten minutes

to reach the outside
before a new patrol comes past.

You're breaking me out?Did you think
this was a social call?

You are both magnificent.

We are.

Dwight, however,
will not be joining us.

What?

He'll return to the main gate,

say he's attended the prisoner,
then leave.

Absolutely not.

This is purely pragmatic.

If one guard has told
another guard

there's a physician here,

that physician must be seen
to leave.

It will give Ned and I
more time to escape.

Very well.

First...

Well, then, you madman.

Best of luck.

Shall we?

Good night,
Dr. Ransome.

Goodnight.

Shall we breakfast together
before the execution?

Uh, no.

I have another
engagement.

Ah, yes, that one.

Hopefully not as bloody.

Do we break the journey?

Only to eat
and change horses.

So we will not lie together
till we reach Gretna Green?

We will not lie together
till we are man and wife.

Lord save us!

Is it highwaymen?

Open the door.

Quick.

According to Kitty's map,

this leads directly
to the cellars.

Sewers.

Not my ideal mode of exit,
but beggars can't be choosers.

This one can.

And he chooses to stay.

What?

The moment I'm missed,

where do you think
they'll look?

I've already arranged
for a safe house.

Here in London?

And what about Cornwall?

You think they won't come
for your wife, your children?

They can't prove it was I.

Who else would be mad enough?

My friend...

A soldier must know
when to retreat.

No, no.

No, Ned, not this time,

not when we've come
this far.

Have you ever seen me
weep?

No.

In court today, I did.

Not when I heard the verdict,

but when I heard
my friend describe

who he thought was me.

But he was describing
more than me.

He was describing an ideal.

And he was describing
himself.

You are everything
I have sought to be.

But better.

A soldier...

but also a statesman.

You will make the world a
stronger, fairer, wiser place.

So leave me here.

Go finish
what I could not.

Get up!

God Almighty,
can a man not sleep in peace

on the eve of his execution?

Can you not sleep,Mama?

Too many thoughts keep me awake.

Shall I sing to you?

Would you?

♪ When the moon is
on the sea ♪

♪ Kosk yn ta,
kosk yn ta ♪

♪ Silver pilchards call
to thee ♪

♪ Kosk yn, kosk yn ta.

Uncle Cary said
I'm to have a new mama.

That's not true.

No one can replace your mama.

For either of us.

Will it do, do you think?

I think it will.

Come.

Let me look at you.

That first day
you arrived at the Bay,

you had a button loose.

I asked you to mend it.

And afterwards,
you asked me

what you could do for me
in return.

And you laughed
and said...

"Mend the world."

"I fear that's
too great a task."

But you did mend the world.

For so many of us.

And for me especially.

And now
I must quit the world.

Wishing I could leave you
a better legacy.

But you have left me the best.

Here.

Sir,
your daughter is blameless.

This was my idea,

and I fully accept...Not true.

I suggested it,

and Mr. Poldark was merely
the agent of my...

Why do some people
fail to understand

where their best interests lie?

Why is he here?

I thought he might appreciate
the spectacle.

Let us hope so.

Why the despair?

Miss Hanson is not
altogether lost to you.

As wife to me,

she will in effect
be your stepmother.

Shall we begin?

Did my mother ever tell you
why she married you?

My father died with debts,

and there you were,

throwing your guineas
at her feet.

But her heart belonged
to one man only.

It wasn't my father,

and it wasn't you.

Brave effort.

Almost worked.

Let us proceed.

Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here today...

Would you like a blessing,my son?

No, thank you, Father.

VICAR:If any of you can show
just cause

why they may not be
lawfully married,

speak now
or forever hold your peace.

I wish to declare...

...that it's barely a day
since...

...I gave myself,
body and soul,

to Geoffrey Charles
Francis Poldark.

So if you wed her,

you will always wonder is
her first child mine or yours.

You will live to regret this,
my dear.

And so will he.

My Lord,

may I have your permission
to address the people?

Fellow citizens,

I come here having served my
country faithfully for 30 years,

to suffer death
for a crime I did not commit.

His Majesty's ministers

know I am innocent.

Yet they choose to destroy a man

because he's been
a friend to truth,

liberty, and justice.

Nonetheless,

I hope that falsehood,

greed, tyranny
will be vanquished.

And this nation...

which I have loved...

will one day be a beacon
of democracy,

freedom, justice,

and humanity.

Let him free!WOMAN: Let him go!

Let him go!

Shall we have rain, do you think?

Dear God,
could he be pardoned?

Pardon!

The prime minister
has seen fit

to remit
part of the sentence,

to wit: the taking out
and the burning of the bowels,

the dividing of the body
into four parts,

and the beheading.

The prisoner will hang.

It could be argued

you had a narrow escape.

A more pliable female
might better suit.

There will be
no other female.

So justice has been done.

Has it?

And hell awaits.

I imagine he'll find it

an improvement on this place.Oh, I trust not.

The governor has
his reputation to consider.

The governor should be
strung up.

You think?

Oh, were you not aware?

The governor of this prison
is I.

This will be your world
for the next month.

And then?

We travel
to Honduras.

"Heaven and earth."

I never knowed
a quicker learner.

We all know her game.

Sam thinks if there's
a soul to be saved, then...

he must save it.

Even if it's wicked?

'Specially if it's wicked.

And that one is.

And I took a long time
learning it.

So'll she.

Though 'tis maybe not
my place to say.

Demelza.

Ross.

You've no idea
how glad I am to be home.

Judas,
I never thought that...

Poor Ned.

Poor Kitty.

And you.

What do it mean for you,

that your friend was
declared traitor?

Will your good namesuffer?

Do I care?

Well, not now perhaps,but...

If I never see London again,
it'll be too soon.

Did you weep?

When he died?

What good
would it have done?

You should not stopper up
tears, Ross.

You should weep for him.

For the better partof him.

It is the better part
of you.

I'll walk on
and lay the table for supper.

My love?

Compliments of Mr. Merceron.
