I missed it!

SPOILERS.
Well Will started to get edgey because he and Mary were living a lie under different names and their hosts got a little suspicious. They managed to smooth it over but then Clarke turned up in Timor and, hearing this amazing story of shipwrecked merchants and a 'really brave girl,' knew exactly where Mary and the others had ended up. He barged into her room but she had just fled with the children and he saw the finery on her bed and was deeply shocked.

Then the chase started. Mary was hiding in a shack and saw Clarke running around with his men, shooting the convicts that ran. He was very close to finding her but then Will appeared and Clarke went after him instead. Clarke and his men cornered him on the beach and all of them (inc. Clarke) shot him when he turned to charge at Clarke.

Mary was quite a distance away by now, dragging her children along with her, following a river. They stopped overnight I think, and then the next morning, Mary saw Clarke's men and ducked down in the undergrowth. Clarke pounced on her from behind and pinned her to the ground with a hand over her mouth. When Clarke's men were out of sight he let her go but pulled her to the ground when she tried to escape. He told her that he had taken the ship to England via Timor because he had to know what had happened to Mary. She tried to seduce him again but he turned nasty and threw her to the ground and pointed his gun at her head. He almost broke down as he told her that the happiest days of his life had been when she had came to him with the children, that he realised she had felt nothing for him. It looked like he was about to shoot her but he didn't.

Despite the noble-lady's pleading, Clarke took Mary and the two surviving convicts back to England. Mary's children died of tropical diseases on the way and had to be dumped at sea.

On returning to England, Clarke was horrifed that Mary was treated as a hero and was deeply put out when Governor Phillip saw the bills Mary and the convicts had run up in Timor and told Clarke that he should have left them where they were. Mary and the surviving convicts were found not guilty by the courts and freed. The only people not cheering in the courtroom were Clarke and Phillip.

Mary went back to Cornwall, saddened but positive.

Of course this summary says nothing about the pure passion felt in part 2. I hope you find it helpfull.

You missed the best part of the whole film - desperately sad but a real master class in acting by Romola. The scene on the ship is one of the finest pieces of acting you'll ever see. Don't miss it - buy the DVD!
