Things look very bad for Wickham as Hardcastle learns that he fathered Louisa's baby under a false name with the same initials as Fitzwilliam Darcy. Meanwhile Louisa tells Elizabeth that Denny was arranging for her to have the baby adopted by the woman seen in the woods - although Louisa refused - and that Fitzwilliam was listening to them. Wickham goes for trial, defended by Alveston - who will later marry Georgina. To the horror of snobbish patroness Lady Catherine De Bourgh Darcy goes to give evidence for Wickham, seeing the woman from the woods, who he recognizes as Mrs. Younge, the old governess of Georgiana who turned out to be an accomplice of Wickham. Now she turns out to be Wickham's sister. The jury return a guilty verdict but Elizabeth is not convinced and conducts her own investigation to find out who really killed Martin Denny.

00:00Mrs. Riley's ghost! In the woods!
00:02Will.
00:30Mrs. Riley's ghost!
01:00Mrs. Riley's ghost!
01:30Mrs. Riley's ghost!
01:50Darcy, did someone ask you a question?
01:55Forgive me.
01:56I was asking about the Bidwell girl, Louisa.
02:02She's in some distress.
02:04It is a personal matter.
02:05It has nothing to do with the case.
02:06Oh, come now.
02:07You can give me more credit than that.
02:09It was Wickham she was looking at, wasn't it?
02:11Or should I say, Freddie.
02:14Were they lovers?
02:16She bore his child.
02:18He called himself Freddie DeLancey.
02:20He told her he was a soldier.
02:23How did they become acquainted?
02:25It seems when his wife was staying with Mr. and Mrs. Bingley at High Martin,
02:29Wickham would ride over here and spend his days roaming Pemberley Woods.
02:33I see.
02:35In search of fruit ripe enough to pluck.
02:39Yet again, Wickham proves his superior character.
02:43It won't look good for him if this comes up in court.
02:48It's the kind of conduct that can prejudice a jury.
02:52Quite, quite severely.
03:00It's a long voyage.
03:02Within the prospect of a town.
03:04You should at least move the desk.
03:06Clearly you haven't noticed the view.
03:19We can't keep him, madam.
03:21Not George Wickham's bastard son.
03:23You mustn't get up, William.
03:28The doctor forbade it.
03:30My mother wishes to protect me from all things, Mrs. Darcy.
03:35She thinks just because my body's failing then my mind must be too.
03:40Mrs. Darcy wants to know the truth, Louisa.
03:44You should tell her there was a third person in the abbey that morning.
03:52Who?
03:54A gentleman.
03:58Louisa.
04:05Colonel Fitzwilliam.
04:07You asked to see me, madam.
04:24Oh, yeah.
04:26Mrs. Reynolds.
04:30There have been developments with Louisa Bidwell.
04:33Her baby is going to need a new home.
04:38Oh.
04:39Could you make some discreet inquiries?
04:42Help.
04:43Good.
04:52Why is it children must always pay for the sins of their fathers?
05:04What a mess.
05:06We can ask if we keep Lydia away from the trial.
05:09Well, I'll write and invite her here.
05:11Jane will be grateful for the respite and keep an eye on her.
05:17Darcy.
05:18Don't.
05:19Don't blind yourself to this.
05:20Why was he...
05:25Stop here, please.
05:30Sir Selwyn.
05:31Darcy, forgive the intrusion.
05:34I rarely sleep the night before a trial.
05:36You were right about one thing.
05:38These initials are the work of mischief.
05:41Frederick Delancey Fitzwilliam Darcy.
05:43Wickham chose his false name with deliberate intent.
05:48Other than the Bidwells.
05:51Does anyone else live in this part of the woods?
05:54No.
05:55I long believed Denny jumped out of the carriage and ran into these trees out of fear of George Wickham.
06:01But now I wonder, was he going to see the Bidwells?
06:08Wickham's affair with Louisa Bidwell has nothing to do with this trial.
06:12You're a man of conscience, Darcy. Are you absolutely sure of what you say?
06:17The Wicked, Mr Wickham. Read it here on the M.D.
06:20The wicked, Mr. Wickham, read it here, only a penny, read it here.
06:49Darcy.
06:53Morning, cousin.
06:56Augustine.
06:59Good news.
07:00The stone found in the wood won't be admissible evidence on court.
07:03It's too inconclusive.
07:05So we begin with no murder weapon and no motive.
07:08Good.
07:09Good.
07:10It's Mr. Darcy.
07:12Mr. Cartwright, counsel for the prosecution.
07:16One of the best.
07:19Darcy.
07:20Sir Selwyn.
07:21Colonel.
07:22Sir Selwyn.
07:24Why you had to hire that radical to defend Wickham, I don't know.
07:27It's high risk if you ask me.
07:28George Wickham.
07:29Hold up your hand.
07:30You stand indicted for the murder of Captain Martin Denny.
07:35How say you, George Wickham?
07:36George Wickham.
07:37Hold up your hand.
07:38You stand indicted for the murder of Captain Martin Denny.
07:54How say you, George Wickham?
07:56Not guilty, Your Honour.
07:57Mr. Cartwright, if you'd like to begin.
08:03Gentlemen of the jury, the evidence going to be presented to you today will leave you
08:11with little doubt in your minds that the death of Captain Denny was indeed murder most malicious
08:18and foul.
08:19This was a particularly vicious, terrible crime.
08:24You wish to know the whereabouts of a certain couple?
08:34George Wickham and my sister Georgiana.
08:37Are you prepared to pay your maximum price if you'd be so kind?
08:47I'm confident in you.
08:50Members of the jury will deliver the right.
08:53The only possible verdict in this case.
08:56Guilty.
08:57Lady Catherine.
09:08I thought it would be a quick detour.
09:11Getting here took much longer than I expected.
09:13You really shouldn't have troubled yourself.
09:15I must go where I'm needed.
09:16I have long been a martyr to that fact.
09:18It has been said my presence can act as the most extraordinary tonic,
09:22especially to the poor and needy.
09:24How intriguing.
09:25The term miraculous has been used, but it's not for me to judge.
09:29Indeed.
09:30I come straight from a cousin's bedside.
09:32The poor wretch has been ill for over a year.
09:34Far too much fuss and bother.
09:36I told him he needed to decide whether to live or die,
09:39and then get on with it.
09:40With as little possible inconvenience to others.
09:42I'm sure he appreciated the clarification.
09:44Where's Darcy?
09:46He's in Derby at the trial.
09:48Then we need to talk.
09:50Mr. Wickham, did Captain Denny serve alongside you in the Irish campaign of 1798?
09:58He did.
09:59You became something of a national hero in the aftermath, I understand,
10:04for your courageous role in fighting the French.
10:07I did my duty for king and country and nothing more.
10:14To the knight in question.
10:16June the 14th.
10:20You, Mrs. Wickham and Captain Denny journeyed together through Pemberley Woods.
10:24Yes, about halfway through, Captain Denny shouted for the carriage to stop.
10:31Driver!
10:32He jumped out.
10:33You're on your own Wickham, I'm finished.
10:35He was angry with my plan to deliver my wife uninvited to the ball.
10:42Denny always put a premium on honourable behaviour.
10:45To him this was dishonourable.
10:48Denny!
10:49Don't be a bloody fool!
10:51Wickham!
10:52Come back here this instant!
10:55I pursued him.
10:57By the time that I found him, he had been attacked and was close to death.
11:02Denny!
11:04Denny!
11:06I saw someone fleeing through the trees, so I grabbed Denny's pistol and fired.
11:15But they were gone.
11:16I fired again for help.
11:18Help!
11:19And then I realised I had to get Denny to safety as fast as I could and I tried.
11:28But it was, it was to no avail.
11:32Mr. Wickham, is there any reason at all for you to have been filled with such hatred for your dearest friend that you would have pursued him into those woods and battered him to death?
11:47No.
11:48No, no.
11:49The very idea is insanity.
11:50I loved Captain Denny as a brother.
11:53And I would defend him with my life.
11:55You must know, Elizabeth, that the whole of society is asking about this case.
12:02We've been positively under siege on my tour.
12:05I trust you answered all questions with the appropriate blend of fiction and fact.
12:10You seem very calm about this.
12:13I do not like gossip any more than you do.
12:15But I'm afraid we make sport for our neighbours and they, in turn, entertain us, twas ever thus.
12:20Darcy must publicly disown George Wickham and have nothing further to do with this sordid trial.
12:28I trust he will not be giving evidence in court.
12:31Oh.
12:32Yes, he will.
12:33A Darcy cannot be seen in the dock.
12:36It's disgraceful.
12:37He's been called as a witness, Lady Catherine.
12:39He has no choice.
12:40What nonsense.
12:41Think of your good name.
12:42If a good name depends on turning one's back on duty and justice, then I hardly think it worth preserving at all.
12:49What would your mother have to say about this?
12:53I fear a great deal.
12:57Lizzie?
12:58Lizzie, where are you?
13:00Lizzie?
13:01You'll never guess what just happened in town.
13:03I bumped into some ladies.
13:05I stopped off at that lovely milliner's we have in Lampton.
13:08And we were having the most civil conversation until I mentioned I was Mrs Darcy's sister.
13:13At which point, they turned their backs on me and walked away.
13:16I marched straight up to them.
13:18And I said I wasn't in the slightest bit ashamed of you.
13:21I truly defended you, Lizzie, you see?
13:25Lady Catherine, I don't believe you've had the pleasure.
13:30Mrs George Wickham.
13:35I will not be staying after all.
13:38You'll think about what I said, Elizabeth.
13:41You'll decide I'm right.
13:43Come now, Lady Catherine.
13:44Surely you know me better than that.
13:49Well...
13:53Mr Wickham.
13:54I have here a list of unpaid debts from your army days.
14:00Eight pounds to one Colonel Forster.
14:05Unpaid.
14:06Five pounds to the innkeeper of the cross and scepter in Bath.
14:10Unpaid.
14:11I mean, the list goes on.
14:14Do you acknowledge these debts?
14:16What if I do?
14:17It doesn't explain why I would kill my best friend.
14:21Only the perpetrator of a crime can truly understand his reasons.
14:26And they seldom make sense to the truth-telling, peace-loving man.
14:30And therefore, I put it to you, Mr Wickham, that you are neither truth-telling nor peace-loving.
14:34Mr Wickham, am I correct that the precise location where you first came across Captain Denny in the woods has never been discovered?
14:44One patch of woods looks very much like another in the dark.
14:47And I dragged Denny quite some distance before we stopped.
14:52Yes, quite.
14:54A man who was clearly severely wounded and close to death.
14:57It can hardly have been a soothing experience.
14:59I was trying to get him to help.
15:00And yet, as events subsequently proved, help was on its way.
15:04Wickham!
15:06My only man I killed.
15:08I put it to you, Mr Wickham, that it was less Captain Denny's wellbeing that was on your mind than saving yourself.
15:13You wanted to get him as far as possible from the scene of the crime to make sure it was never found again.
15:18Your Honour, I must object.
15:19I beg your pardon.
15:20The prosecution is indulging in the hypothesis, nothing more.
15:24Mr Halverston, await your turn to speak.
15:27Sit down.
15:29Please show some restraint.
15:35Mr Wickham.
15:36I'd like to bring your attention to the argument between Captain Denny and yourself at the King's Arms before you left for the ball.
15:41What exactly happened between you?
15:43As I have said, he didn't like my plan regarding my wife.
15:48And that's the full extent of your discussion at that point?
15:50Yes!
15:54No further questions, Your Honour.
15:57What's he playing at?
15:59I don't know.
16:01Call your next witness.
16:03Mrs Piggott of Lambton, please.
16:05She wasn't at the inquest. Is this something new?
16:13Yes.
16:15I'm afraid it could be dangerous.
16:17Mrs Piggott, you were at work in the King's Arms the evening.
16:20Mr and Mrs Wickham and Captain Denny set off in a coach for Pemberley, is that correct?
16:24It is.
16:25And would you say they were a happy party?
16:30But not, sir. No.
16:31Did you hear a quarrel between them?
16:33Your Honour, the prosecution is assuming a quarrel.
16:36He is blatantly leading the witness.
16:38Will you sit back down?
16:44Did you hear what they were saying?
16:46I did.
16:47They were no more than a few feet below me, and I saw Captain Denny hand a large sum of
16:53money to Mr Wickham.
16:54I want no pardons.
16:55Denny, please.
16:56It's one last thing, and I promise I'll be done with it.
16:59I'm not playing this game.
17:01He said he no longer wanted anything to do with it or with him.
17:06He told him it had been deceit from start to finish.
17:10You're selfish. Utterly selfish.
17:12You know nothing, do you, of women and what they truly feel.
17:21Mrs Piggott, you're sure these are the exact words you heard?
17:25As sure as night turns to day.
17:29Deceit from start to finish.
17:32A damning description from his dearest friend.
17:36Thank you, Mrs Piggott.
17:37No further questions, Your Honour.
17:39Mrs Piggott, did you see either of the men lay a hand on one another during this conversation
17:49you overheard?
17:50No, sir.
17:51Mr Wickham would be foolish to challenge Captain Denny as he was armed and all.
17:56So, the fact that they were to travel together was no occasion for anxiety?
18:01They have Mrs Wickham with them. They won't be starting a fine in front of a lady, now would they?
18:07Indeed.
18:09Mrs Piggott, why did you not give this evidence at the inquest?
18:14I didn't want the whole town laughing behind my back.
18:17So, I don't quite follow?
18:20Speak up!
18:21Mrs Piggott, please will you speak up for the sake of the jury.
18:26I was visiting the privy when he heard them.
18:31It's a proper disgrace if a lady can't go about a business without having to talk in public about it.
18:37Er, right.
18:40Well, that's quite enough for one day.
18:43Court is adjourned until tomorrow morning.
18:44Darcy.
18:55Is it Darcy?
18:58This is young.
19:00Really?
19:01And he was beautiful.
19:05I'll take good care of him, Elisa.
19:08I promise.
19:11I want nothing.
19:12And Wickham wanted me to have him.
19:15You beautiful little lady.
19:17If it wasn't for that idiot mother and Denny getting in the way.
19:20The £30 I trusted would be satisfactory.
19:23Miss Bidwell!
19:25Miss Bidwell!
19:27You idiot!
19:30I could still be a good mother to him, Mr Darcy.
19:35Please.
19:37Please.
19:39You're asking for my help.
19:42To trust you with a well-being.
19:44Angry with my plan to deliver my wife uninvited to the ball.
19:51Denny always put a premium on honourable behaviour.
19:54To him this was dishonourable.
19:57Denny! Don't be a bloody fool!
20:00Wickham!
20:02Wickham! Come back here this instant!
20:04I pursued him.
20:06By the time that I found him he had been attacked and was close to death.
20:11Denny!
20:13Denny!

20:19They were gone.

26:55They had Mrs Wickham with them.
26:56They wouldn't be starting a fight in front of a lady, now would they?
27:00Indeed.
27:02That's the inquest.
27:05Didn't want the whole town laughing behind my back.
27:08So I don't quite follow.
27:10It was pretty cool.
27:12Mrs Piggott, please speak up for the sake of the jury.
27:15I was visiting the privy when he heard them.
27:19It's a proper disgrace if a lady can't go about a business without having to talk in public about it.
27:28Er, right.
27:30Well, that's quite enough for one day.
27:34Court is adjourned until tomorrow morning.
27:36A connection between Wickham and yourself.
27:40George Wickham is my brother, Mr Darcy.
27:45I grew up ignorant of Wickham's existence.
27:48But when he came to find me, we discovered a connection purer and stronger than anything else in our lives.
27:55And I found out he had a son.
28:00I had to meet him.
28:03May I?
28:04And he was beautiful.
28:08I'll take good care of him, Elisa.
28:11He'll want nothing.
28:13Wickham wanted me to have him.
28:15He was beautiful, Elisa.
28:17If it wasn't for that idiot mother and Denny getting in the way.
28:20The £30 I trusted would be satisfied for you.
28:23Miss Bidwell!
28:25Miss Bidwell!
28:27You idiot!
28:29I could still be a good mother to him, Mr Darcy.
28:32Mr Darcy.
28:35Please.
28:37Please.
28:39You're asking for my help.
28:41To trust you with the well-being of an innocent child after what you did to Georgiana.
28:46You posed as a respectable governess so that I would place her in your care, Wickham.
28:54He'd make a fine husband to any woman.
28:56Oh, your sister's no victim, Mr Darcy.
28:59Not with men such as you to guard her.
29:02And women such as me, who sacrificed their lives to protect the sanctity of high rank.
29:09I suppose it was you extorting money from Colonel Fitzwilliam.
29:15Extorting?
29:17He came to me of his own free will.
29:20He's a reasonable man.
29:21Not a good compensation for a girl from Tyron when you counted in a place like this.
29:26Thank you, sir.
29:30Wake up.
29:43I spoke to Mrs Young today at court.
29:49It seems he...
29:50I'm troubling you with it.
29:51Really?
29:53This would take the course they have.
29:54Every decision I have made...
29:56I'll take your word on nothing until you explain yourself.
29:59When Wickham first told me of the mess he was in, I saw the danger immediately.
30:03A bastard child of his growing up at Pemberley, you'd never be rid of the man.
30:07I thought it best to deal with it, quickly and simply.
30:10I don't have some of your qualms.
30:11Oh, you refer to putting yourself at the mercy of a blackmailer?
30:14She is a woman one can do business with.
30:16She wanted to take the child. I was prepared to pay her to do so. It seems simple enough.
30:19You acted on my behalf without consulting me, yet you dare suggest you were motivated by concern.
30:24I think your reasons are a little more self-interested.
30:27If you mean Georgiana, then yes, of course she was on my mind.
30:30If she is to be my wife, I must protect her from further...
30:32Look! I will take her even if he hangs.
30:36How dare you!
30:40Doug!
30:41I have done you a terrible wrong.
30:43No, you've only ever done what's right for me, brother. Always.
30:46I encouraged you to accept the hand of a man that you didn't love, and perhaps never would.
30:51I accepted his offer of my own free will.
30:54Yes, but I didn't stop you.
30:57I didn't stop you.
31:01Colonel Fitzwilliam is not the man that I thought he was, and Elizabeth tried to warn me, but I wouldn't listen. I would not listen.
31:06I was stubborn and blind to the truth.
31:12Can you please, can you please forgive me?
31:20There's nothing to forgive.
31:23Marry for love, Georgiana. Marry, marry the person your heart cries out for.
31:29And when you have that person, do not doubt them.
31:33Not for a single moment.
31:59I'm sorry.
32:00I'm sorry.
32:29You're in love, Georgiana.
32:31You're coming for me.
32:32I was very proud of you.
32:33I've been trying to forgive you.
32:34I've been trying to forgive you.
32:35I'm sorry.
32:36I feel as if I was too, I'm not a sinner.
32:38I know.
32:39I know my uncle.
32:48I know I can hurt you.
32:49I know, let's go.
32:51I know.
32:53I can't keep the guest in on your hands.
32:55I believe George Wickham to be guilty of this crime.
33:11Why?
33:18Captain Denny knew of his affair with Louisa Bidwell.
33:22Their argument wasn't about bringing Lydia to the ball.
33:25It was about Louisa and the baby.
33:31And when Denny jumped from that carriage...
33:35...he plunged into those woods to warn her that she'd been abandoned by her lover and that he would try and take her baby.
33:42Possibly even reveal Wickham's true identity.
33:45Who knows?
33:47But Wickham had to stop him.
33:50And he did.
33:53Once and for all.
33:55And if this is revealed...
33:59Poor Lydia.
34:02I think it's time she learnt of the affair.
34:08And probably best it came from you first.
34:10Darcy.
34:11But that's the motive that's always been missing.
34:16But there is still no proof.
34:17It all adds up.
34:18All we know for sure is that Wickham fathered a child out of wedlock.
34:22That's still not yet a reason for a man to hang.
34:23Supposition or not, you know how it'll look when it comes out.
34:24The jury would be prejudiced against him beyond repair, yes.
34:25But Darcy, we must believe in justice.
34:29Wickham has to be judged on the evidence alone.
34:30Your duty is to answer the questions put to you as...
34:32simply and directly as you can.
34:33Mine is to do everything to ensure that you can.
34:34You have to be judged on the evidence.
34:35You have to be judged on the evidence alone.
34:36Your duty is to answer the questions put to you as...
34:38simply and directly as you can.
34:39Mine is to do everything to ensure fair trial.
34:43Beyond that, it is out of our control.
34:46All we need to disdain our trial.
34:48How do you do these questions?
34:51This is the purpose of the trial.
34:52Tell me what I'm looking for.
34:55You have to be judged on the evidence.
34:56To please the judge.
34:58You have to be judged on us.
34:59You have to be judged on us.
35:00You have to be judged on us.
35:02You have to be judged on us.
35:04Well, beyond that, it is out of our control.
35:09What about Hardcastle?
35:10I don't know him as well as you do.
35:14Is the amount of let prejudice cloud as judgment?
35:26My best friend is dead. I killed him. It's my fault.
35:30That might not be the precise order, but those were the words.
35:34And what did he take those words to mean?
35:38I was looking at a man in the greatest distress, kneeling over the body of his friend.
35:43I took him to mean that if there hadn't been a disagreement that had caused his friend to run into the woods,
35:48then he wouldn't have met his death.
35:54No further questions, Your Honour?
35:56I must congratulate you, Mr. Darcy, on your remarkable presence of mind.
36:03Here, before you, was a man leaning over the body of his murdered friend,
36:08sobbing that he killed him.
36:11It was his fault.
36:13Yet somehow you deduced that this was not a confession,
36:17but regret for an earlier argument that led to the victim's flight towards an aggressor
36:22whose existence to this day remains pure hypothesis
36:25and who, for some reason, took it into his head to murder a complete stranger.
36:29Poaching is a serious crime.
36:34If he had stumbled across a poacher red-handed, the man may have panicked and lashed out.
36:40If you believed so strongly in the existence of this poacher,
36:43why didn't you send out a search party the night of the crime?
36:46The woods were vast and dark, and my first duty was to inform a magistrate.
36:54You didn't order a search, Mr. Darcy,
36:56because you knew full well that you already had the guilty man under guard and in your house.
37:02No further questions.
37:10Thank you, Mr. Darcy.
37:12Sir Selwyn Hardcastle, please.
37:23We know two shots were fired in the woods that night.
37:28Sir Selwyn, could you give us your view on who fired them and why?
37:31As the pistol in question belonged to Captain Denny,
37:34it seems to me entirely plausible he fired in self-defence.
37:39At George Wickham?
37:41That's correct.
37:42Because he felt under threat.
37:44That's pure conjecture, Your Honour.
37:46Mr. Alderson, I am tired of these unconventional objections of yours.
37:50I'm merely trying to establish an alternative explanation for the gunshots.
37:54Sir Selwyn, do you believe Captain Denny fired the gun at Mr. Wickham in self-defence?
37:58I do.
37:59At which point Mr. Wickham dealt him the blow that killed him.
38:03Your Honour, please.
38:04Your facts, Mr. Cartwright. For all our sakes, stick to the facts.
38:08I believe it to be the case is the only logical explanation.
38:11Sir Selwyn, throughout the course of your investigation,
38:14have you come across any reason why Mr. Wickham might want Captain Denny dead?
38:18I must defend my client, your-
38:20I must defend my client, your-
38:21Have you arrived at a verdict?
38:38We have.
38:41Do you find the prisoner guilty?
38:43Or not guilty?
38:53Guilty.
38:57Silence! Silence!
38:59Is this the verdict of you all?
39:02It is.
39:03I swear before God Almighty, I am not guilty!
39:08Guilty!
39:09Guilty!
39:10Guilty!
39:11Guilty!
39:12Guilty!
39:13Guilty!
39:16Guilty!
39:21Guilty!
39:24Prisoner at the bar, you have been convicted of one of the most atrocious crimes it is in the power of human nature to commit.
39:34It remains only for me to pass the dreadful sentence of the law, that you be taken at the appointed time to a place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck until you be dead.
39:53No!
40:23No!
40:25No!
40:27No!
40:29No!
40:31No!
40:33No!
40:35No!
40:37No!
40:39No!
40:41No!
40:43No!
40:45No!
40:47No!
40:49No!
40:50No!
40:51No!
40:52No!
40:53No!
40:54No!
40:55No!
40:56No!
40:57No!
40:58No!
40:59No!
41:00No!
41:01No!
41:02No!
41:03No!
41:04No!
41:05No!
41:06No!
41:07No!
41:08No!
41:09No!
41:10No!
41:11No!

41:13No!
41:14No!
41:15No!
41:16No!
41:17No!
41:18No!
41:19No!
41:20No!
41:21No!
41:22No!
41:23No!
41:24No!
41:25No!
41:26No!
41:27No!
41:28No!
41:29Mrs. Darcy.
41:36I heard the news about George Wickham.
41:38I shall pray for him when the time comes.
41:40Thank you, Reverend.
41:41Have you heard Will Bidwell is near the end?
41:45No.
41:46According to Dr. McPhee, it's a matter of a day or two.
41:49I did so want to see him one last time.
41:52Who wants close?
41:54He's kept you away too, has he?
41:56I haven't gained admittance to his room since the murder.
41:59You're right, it did stop him.
42:02Perhaps it affected him.
42:04He's surely too young to have a conscience much burdened, but still.
42:12Madam.
42:13I need to see Will.
42:14No, today's not very well.
42:17He mustn't.
42:18I'm so sorry.
42:18No, he mustn't.
42:19We must speak to Will.
42:20He's extremely ill.
42:23Mrs. Darcy, madam, needs to rest.
42:26It's all right, Mother.
42:27Will, we've had bad news from the trial.
42:30Wickham has been found guilty and is to hang.
42:33I'm sorry, madam.
42:34Will, please.
42:34You better go now.
42:35I will do anything to save you.
42:37Do you have it in your power to save another man's life?
42:40Spend him.
42:41Mrs. Darcy, please spend my time.
42:43Mother.
42:46I think I do.
42:49A man came here the night of the murder.
42:53It was Captain Denny, but I didn't know that at the time.
43:00I thought it was the soldier who'd assaulted Louisa's virtue.
43:04I thought he'd come back for more.
43:05Open up.
43:06I need to speak to Miss Bidwell.
43:08I felt such rage.
43:11It was an insult to me.
43:13As though I couldn't protect my womenfolk.
43:17And I wanted to teach him a lesson.
43:21I need to speak to you.
43:23I hit him with my stick, and he fell back and staggered off.
43:29And I tried to follow him.
43:31He was heading towards the gully, where old Darcy's grave was.
43:35And I tried to call out a warning, but I couldn't.
43:46By the time I caught up, I was another man with him.
43:50Denny!
43:54Oh, God, no.
43:55And he had a gun, and he shot at me.
43:57Stop!
44:03And I fled.
44:05When Mr. Wickham got arrested, I didn't think it had come to this.
44:13I'm going to write this down.
44:16I need you to sign it for me.
44:29Father.
44:33I'm sorry.
44:35I should have been here.
44:43I should have been here.
44:47Forgive me.
44:50William, forgive me.
44:52I've led you a merry dance, haven't I?
45:11I've loved every minute of it.
45:14Had I done you wrong, Lydia?
45:15None of that.
45:21It was the best day of my life, when I met you, Wickham.
45:24Look at all the fun we've had.
45:25Look at all the fun we've had.
45:28Hmm.
45:36I didn't do it.
45:39I didn't kill Denny.
45:40I know.
45:42No one can say we didn't live it to the full.
45:53Choose the brightest, best memory of me, will you?
45:59Hold on to that.
46:00Don't try.
46:09Don't hold on.
46:24Don't push you.
46:24The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
46:42He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
46:46He leadeth me beside the stone.
46:49To the earth.
46:50The rest of the eyes of God.
46:54Will is at peace.
47:03Wickham hangs at dawn, I must get this to Derby.
47:05It's night, Elizabeth.
47:07The journey is too treacherous.
47:09Even if you try, you'll never make it on time.
47:13I will take you.
47:14I know the roads, madam, every twist turn.
47:24I can't do it, though.
47:28There's a path to the other to the other.
47:31I can't do it.
47:33I have to take you.
47:34You can't do it.
47:35I can't do it.
47:36You can't do it.
47:37I have to take you.
47:38I can't do it.
47:39I can't do it.
47:39I can't do it.
47:40I can't do it.
47:41At the beginning, you will die.
47:42You'll be back.
47:43I can't do it.
47:44I can do it.
47:45Oh, my God.
48:15My condolences, Darcy.
48:23Gives me no pleasure to see this sad day, Dawn.
48:28May I ask why you didn't reveal Wickham's affair with Louise Bidwell at the trial?
48:34I knew by that point you'd almost certainly hang.
48:38What good would it do to drag your name further through the mud?
48:45Whatever others may say, I'm not my father.
48:49I need to see the judge.
49:12Can I help you, madam?
49:13What's going on down here?
49:14Judge Mamerly!
49:15What's all this noise?
49:15What's all this noise?
49:22I shall not want to.
49:24The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
49:38Beaketh me to lie down in clean pastures, needeth me beside the still quarters.
49:44Restoreeth my soul, needeth me as a pastor's right towards the cross, name's Satan.
49:49The end though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no ease.
49:55Allow art with me.
49:57Wait! Stop!
49:58My rod and my staff.
49:59Wait!
50:00Stop the hanging!
50:02George Wickham is innocent!
50:03By order of the court, stop the hanging!
50:05I have a signed confession!
50:07Take the noose from his neck! Well hurry, take the noose!
50:19Holy goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
50:23And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forevermore.
50:27Amen.
50:49Mrs. Reynolds has found a new home for Louise Bidwell's baby.
50:59Why does she have to give up her child?
51:03It's time Pemberley began to look after her too.
51:09Thank you very much.
51:10I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank my wife.
51:13Within a matter of hours, Lydia's spirits were restored and her energies consumed with flaunting her dear Wickham all over town.
51:21Hi!
51:22I do wonder what America will make of them.
51:23Louisa christened her son George William Bidwell in memory of her brother.
51:28Darcy says he will make a fine head coachman to Master Fitzwilliam.
51:32As for Georgiana, well, it couldn't be better news.
52:02I can wait no longer.
52:03Will you be my wife?
52:04Yes, Henry.
52:05Yes.
52:06Yes.
52:07Yes.
52:08Yes.
52:09Yes.

52:31Yes.
52:32Yes.
52:33Yes.
52:34Yes.
52:35Yes.
52:36Yes.
52:37Oh those early moments of love it's a little time for us
52:45Yes, thanks to my best efforts to kill my feelings for you
52:49They very nearly destroyed the most precious thing in the world to me. Let's look to the past only as it gives us pleasure
52:56And to the future
52:59Really as it gives us hope
53:01Truly can't promise. It'll be a girl
53:14Must be care
53:17I'm so happy I know many others have said it before none with such justice
