00:00:00The most beautiful house in a remarkable spot, unique, and I think you'd rather take to Bersinny.
00:00:10Do you?
00:00:12Yes, he's rather a find of mine, and if he does a halfway decent job, it'll be good for his career.
00:00:17You should encourage him.
00:00:19So what do we all think? Is he sweet on Mrs. Forsyte?
00:00:23Oh, George, don't be so silly.
00:00:25Rumour is she's interested in him.
00:00:27Why did you not bring June?
00:00:30I didn't want her.
00:00:31You're engaged to her, Mr. Bersinny.
00:00:33But I shan't marry her, Mrs. Forsyte.
00:00:38Then you should tell her.
00:00:40And I will.
00:00:43You promised you would let me go if our marriage was not a success.
00:00:47Behave yourself, and it would be.
00:00:49Will you let me go?
00:00:51Of course I won't.
00:00:52Thank you, Mom.
00:01:14We're going with you.
00:01:15All right.
00:01:21All right.
00:01:22All right.
00:01:23All right.
00:01:26See you.
00:01:27Bye.
00:01:30Bye.
00:01:31Bye.
00:01:32Bye.
00:01:33Bye.
00:01:34Bye.
00:01:35Bye.
00:01:37Hurray.
00:01:37Good afternoon, Alison.
00:02:02Madam.
00:02:07Thank you, Wilson.
00:02:37I heard from Father that old Jolyne took June off to the Alps this morning, recuperation
00:02:58from her recent disappointment.
00:03:00Did he go along and say goodbye?
00:03:03No.
00:03:04No.
00:03:05I rather thought not.
00:03:06Excuse me.
00:03:07Wilson tells me you've been out all day.
00:03:09Yes.
00:03:10Where did he go?
00:03:11Robin Hill.
00:03:12Oh.
00:03:13Why would you have gone there?
00:03:15The house is finished.
00:03:17Yes, I'm aware of that.
00:03:19And a house needs furnishing before one can live in it.
00:03:22I went to see what might suit.
00:03:29Does that mean you may be reconciled to living there?
00:03:37Wait.
00:03:51There.
00:03:55My mother says Florence isn't chanting at this time of the year.
00:04:02Would it not be refreshing to holiday there?
00:04:08You cannot leave now, surely?
00:04:10Why not?
00:04:11The house needs your attention.
00:04:14You've spent all this money.
00:04:16It wouldn't be prudent.
00:04:18The house needs your attention.
00:04:19The house needs your attention.
00:04:20The house needs your attention.
00:04:21The house needs your attention.
00:04:22The house needs your attention.
00:04:23It's much more imposing than I'd imagine.
00:04:28The country will give a new perspective.
00:04:31And it will prove, I think, that life does not begin and end in London.
00:04:35Thank you, Doc Wadon.
00:04:37Come on, boy.
00:04:38Yes, we're counting the days to the end of the week.
00:04:40When the architect moves out, Byrini and I move in.
00:04:43How long is the walk from the station?
00:04:45You'll be in a carriage, I suppose.
00:04:46Just here, thank you, Doc Wadon.
00:04:47What will the train pair send you back, perhaps?
00:04:49Oh, much less than you think.
00:04:50People forget about these things.
00:04:52Now, if you'll all just wait here.
00:04:54I did send word ahead, but I don't want you tripping over buckets and like.
00:04:59I thought it was finished.
00:05:01All but.
00:05:02All but.
00:05:03Right here.
00:05:04He's like a child with a new toy.
00:05:06Ha-ha.
00:05:07Welcome.
00:05:08Welcome to Robin Hill.
00:05:09Mother, mind the steps.
00:05:10Are you pleased with your new home, Irene?
00:05:12It's a work of art.
00:05:14Soames has always had good taste.
00:05:16I'm quite envious, Mr. Bassini.
00:05:19You look alarmed at the prospect, sir.
00:05:21She wouldn't last five minutes in the country.
00:05:23Emily!
00:05:24Look at this!
00:05:25Right.
00:05:26Spice!
00:05:27Room for your entire art collection.
00:05:30Yes.
00:05:31And more besides.
00:05:32And the light.
00:05:33The best view is from the Verana.
00:05:35Come and see.
00:05:37I should worry about the post.
00:05:39I should worry about the bills.
00:05:40I should worry about the bills.
00:05:41Hot water pipes everywhere.
00:05:43On a good day, one can see right across to Ashley.
00:05:46I shouldn't mention that.
00:05:47They are entranced by it.
00:05:49Despite themselves.
00:05:50Exactly.
00:05:51And this is just the beginning.
00:05:53You're going to be the toast of every dry room in town.
00:05:56Come away with me forever.
00:05:58Mr. Bassini.
00:05:59Won't you be my guide?
00:06:01Of course.
00:06:02Forgive me.
00:06:03Excuse me.
00:06:04Come through.
00:06:05I'm rather intrigued about this central part.
00:06:06You will not make the effort.
00:06:07Not even for my parents.
00:06:08I'm here, aren't I?
00:06:09Yes, why is that?
00:06:10The truth is you cannot put this out.
00:06:11You couldn't be more wrong.
00:06:12There's so much light in the centre of the house.
00:06:13It's almost like a courtyard, if you like.
00:06:14Yes.
00:06:15An internal courtyard.
00:06:16Uncle Swithin suggested a billiard table.
00:06:17There was something to be said from the house.
00:06:18I don't know.
00:06:19I don't know.
00:06:20I don't know.
00:06:21I don't know.
00:06:22I don't know.
00:06:23I don't know.
00:06:24I don't know.
00:06:25I don't know.
00:06:26I don't know.
00:06:27I don't know.
00:06:28I don't know.
00:06:29I don't know.
00:06:30I don't know.
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:32Uncle Swithin suggested a billiard table.
00:06:34There was something to be said from that.
00:06:35Well, had Soames requested a games room?
00:06:37He'd have built me a table out of ebony and had the pockets lined with gold.
00:06:41The Queen itself might request that to no avail.
00:06:44Gold stands for everything I despise in decoration.
00:06:46Twelve thousand four hundred pounds, Cassini, against an agreed starting figure of eight.
00:06:51Just remind me how we arrived at that figure.
00:06:54I'm rather tired of that conversation.
00:06:56We revised that, son.
00:06:57Yes, three times.
00:06:58Usually after the fact.
00:06:59You confirmed it in writing.
00:07:00Twelve thousand pounds, with a leeway of up to fifty pounds.
00:07:03For accidents and your fastidiousness.
00:07:05Oh, Soames.
00:07:06There's nothing accidental about four hundred pounds.
00:07:09Well, there is stained glass instead of clear.
00:07:12There is ebony instead of pitch pine.
00:07:15Granite instead of sandstone.
00:07:17There is breach of contract.
00:07:19There is invention instead of imitation.
00:07:21I don't be behest.
00:07:22It's my name on the deeds.
00:07:23And mine for which the house will be remembered.
00:07:25Your name, sir, is as worthless as your word.
00:07:28Look, I'm here to design, not to listen to your insults.
00:07:32You've broken your contract.
00:07:33I have the right to recover my money.
00:07:34You have here a house which will be the envy of your friends.
00:07:37And at a rate which will never be repeated.
00:07:40Now, good afternoon to you, sir.
00:07:43Don't walk away from me.
00:07:45I have said my piece.
00:07:47You force my hand if you do.
00:07:49To do what?
00:07:54To resort to the law.
00:07:55Soames.
00:07:58It would cost you more to bring the case than you could ever hope to win.
00:08:01I am arguing about the principle.
00:08:03Principle?
00:08:04There isn't a single person in this room who believes that is your motive.
00:08:09At least of all yourself.
00:08:34Three hundred and fifty pounds.
00:08:37It's a mere trifle.
00:08:38It's quite beneath your contempt.
00:08:39No.
00:08:40No.
00:08:41You are beneath my contempt if you persist with this when you know Phil has nothing.
00:08:46Phil?
00:08:47How long have you been saying you want him out of your life?
00:08:49This binds you together for months.
00:08:52I will not see that man make a fool of me.
00:08:57No.
00:08:58You are quite capable of doing it by yourself.
00:09:03We did really get to court.
00:09:05Soames is adamant it will.
00:09:06Brush your best togs off.
00:09:07Be standing room only in the gallery.
00:09:09I doubt it.
00:09:10Quite the joey where your brother is concerned.
00:09:13Anyone else?
00:09:14Quit to a bloater.
00:09:15She will be hanging off the grapevine.
00:09:16It's a dull contractual wrangle, Monty.
00:09:19It's not Norton versus Lord Melbourne.
00:09:21There have been wars fought over less.
00:09:23Less than the hand of a woman?
00:09:25No, dear.
00:09:26Keep up.
00:09:27It was Bissini's sunken bath that did it.
00:09:29It was a marble flower tub, Julia, amongst other things.
00:09:32It was a woman.
00:09:33A marble woman?
00:09:37Irene Foresight.
00:09:42No.
00:09:44What's three hundred and fifty to a man like Soames?
00:09:46He's marking the buccaneer's card.
00:09:48Just as his will be prosecuted.
00:09:51We must have heard the whispers.
00:09:54When you said they danced at Swithin's ball.
00:09:57You thought she meant a waltz.
00:09:59But Soames is the perfect husband.
00:10:01I can't believe it.
00:10:02Oh, you want to.
00:10:03Both of you admit it.
00:10:04Oh, please.
00:10:05One can see how men might find Irene charming.
00:10:08Though Monty's always failed to see the attraction.
00:10:11But quiet, if anything, a shrinking violet.
00:10:14Hmm.
00:10:15I rather fear she's been plucked.
00:10:16I rather fear we're going to be late.
00:10:17Come day.
00:10:18Late.
00:10:19Goodbye.
00:10:20Bye, dear.
00:10:21We have another call this afternoon, chum of Monty's.
00:10:22Bye, dear.
00:10:23Do forgive us.
00:10:24Ladies.
00:10:25Freddie, they love all the tattle.
00:10:26Well, I don't.
00:10:27And what did the solicitor say?
00:10:28He told me exactly what I knew.
00:10:29I have a case.
00:10:30Every bit of Stronger stones.
00:10:31Now people will see him for what he is.
00:10:32He is a solicitor.
00:10:33The son of a solicitor.
00:10:34I have a case, just everyone who will see him.
00:10:35And he will say, I have a case.
00:10:37I have a case.
00:10:38Every bit of Stronger stones.
00:10:39Now people will see him for what he is.
00:10:41No.
00:10:42He is a solicitor.
00:10:43The son of a solicitor.
00:10:44Peter has to tell me what the word says.
00:10:45Oh, my turn.
00:10:46Well, what do you think?
00:10:47Thank you, darling.
00:10:48So I don't know if you have a case.
00:10:49That's very smart.
00:10:50What the case are you, dear?
00:10:51Now people will see him for what he is.
00:10:53He is a solicitor.
00:10:55The son of a solicitor.
00:10:57He knows how to construct a case.
00:10:59Oh, as does my own fellow.
00:11:01He's instructed Jobling and Boulder, one of the best in the field.
00:11:05And I might be intimidated if I didn't have right on my side.
00:11:11You do believe that, don't you?
00:11:13Of course I do, Phil.
00:11:15Money speaks, even in a court of law.
00:11:17I have money.
00:11:19Or will have.
00:11:21There's the house for Wilson and there'll be more work after that.
00:11:24My reputation's growing.
00:11:30And what then?
00:11:31What should I do?
00:11:33Not fight? Just flee?
00:11:35We could do that.
00:11:36We could not.
00:11:38I could set up in Liverpool or Glasgow or Paris if I wanted to.
00:11:42I'm a free man.
00:11:43Soames cannot stop me from work.
00:11:45He could try.
00:11:46If I were with you, he would try.
00:11:49I don't think you should leave.
00:11:52You've done nothing wrong.
00:11:54I don't know.
00:11:56Oh.
00:11:57Oh.
00:11:58Oh.
00:11:59Oh.
00:12:00Oh.
00:12:01Oh.
00:12:03Oh.
00:12:08Oh.
00:12:22Welcome home.
00:12:43Welcome home.
00:12:44Lovely weather you're having, Parfit.
00:12:46Yes, sir.
00:12:47Pleasant journey, sir.
00:12:47Truth to tell, I need another holiday to recover from the holiday.
00:12:50Hello, Parfit.
00:12:51Miss June.
00:12:52I see you have been busy.
00:12:54We took a detour to Paris.
00:12:56Gran indulged me with a little shopping.
00:12:58Tell me how I lived so long without knowing the difference between boucle and chenille.
00:13:03Don't start all that again, Gran.
00:13:04So Miss June is returning home refreshed.
00:13:07Like a new woman, Parfit.
00:13:13Give me some tea in the study, Parfit.
00:13:14Right away, sir.
00:13:16The convention would be to close this off.
00:13:19A wall here, a door here.
00:13:21I propose a hinged partition.
00:13:26A huge folding door, if you like.
00:13:28Privacy and intimacy when you need it.
00:13:31But the etched glass panels means you lose none of the light.
00:13:35It's this I like, but I am still unconvinced about the veranda.
00:13:41You did something similar in the house at Robin Hill.
00:13:44Well, similar, not the same.
00:13:46I should like to see it for myself.
00:13:48It's clear on here.
00:13:50Constructed.
00:13:51I need a better sense of the proportions.
00:13:53I, uh, no longer have access.
00:13:57You can speak to the owner, surely.
00:13:58I'm in dispute with the owner.
00:14:00Small matters soon to be resolved.
00:14:01But I can show you an example of this type of thing.
00:14:05And if you're agreeable, I can have contracts drawn up by the end of the week.
00:14:08What kind of dispute?
00:14:09Oh, it's nothing.
00:14:10A few hundred pounds.
00:14:11You are owed.
00:14:16You owe?
00:14:17He says.
00:14:18I wish I'd known of this earlier.
00:14:20It has no bearing on the job.
00:14:22You have my word.
00:14:24Really, Mr. Wilson, I do assure you it's nothing.
00:14:28I suggest you come back to me when the matter is resolved.
00:14:31Well, if it's characters you require, I can provide them.
00:14:34When you're in a position to proceed, come back to me.
00:14:38Good day.
00:14:38Good day.
00:14:44He thinks I'm a thief.
00:14:46He wants to commission you.
00:14:48After the court case, once he knows I can be trusted,
00:14:51any client I approach now will feel the same.
00:14:54If he'd only signed the contract, I'd have borrowed against it.
00:14:57I could have withstood a loss in court.
00:14:59You won't lose.
00:15:00But if I do, I lose everything.
00:15:02Not everything.
00:15:04Home, business.
00:15:05It would bankrupt me, Irene.
00:15:07Not everything.
00:15:09Here.
00:15:14My father's.
00:15:15I cannot take this.
00:15:18You must.
00:15:20We have to take our lead from Soames.
00:15:22Play this purely as a legal matter.
00:15:24We shall act the dutiful wife and the wronged architect.
00:15:27They shall know nothing of our plans.
00:15:31Even a hint of scandal could turn the judge against you.
00:15:34We shall behave like hypocrites.
00:15:37We shall behave discreetly.
00:15:40Just a few more weeks.
00:15:42It will be worth it in the end.
00:15:45But you doted on your father.
00:15:47I am offering you the watch.
00:15:51The memories are not for sale.
00:15:53Have they reduced us to their level if you sell this?
00:16:07No.
00:16:09We're proving to the foresides that everything has its price.
00:16:12We're proving that sometimes property can set one free.
00:16:16Then we shall be really free.
00:16:22That bar should bring a few shillings.
00:16:24And that figurine.
00:16:26You can't sell everything.
00:16:27Why not?
00:16:29We shall live like gypsies.
00:16:31We'll buy a caravan and we shall go wherever work and whim take us.
00:16:34From middle inside to building side.
00:16:36You can cook my dinner on the campfire and raise a boot of children in the van.
00:16:40Six?
00:16:41Seven?
00:16:43I shall buy another van and hitch it on the back.
00:16:52I must go.
00:16:54And so must you, my friend.
00:16:56No.
00:16:58We should save it.
00:17:01It will remind us of a time when every second was precious.
00:17:05No.
00:17:06It will remind me of a time when I was forced to share you.
00:17:25Good day, sir.
00:17:26Yes.
00:17:26Thank you, Bilson.
00:17:27Very good.
00:17:29You ask Mrs. Forsyte.
00:17:32She'll join me before dinner.
00:17:33Mrs. Forsyte's still out, sir.
00:17:35Since when?
00:17:37Since after lunch.
00:17:38Did she say where she was going?
00:17:39No, Mr. Forsyte.
00:17:40No.
00:17:43No, no.
00:17:47No.
00:17:47No.
00:17:50No.
00:17:52No.
00:17:53No.
00:17:53No.
00:17:53No.
00:17:58No.
00:17:59Oh, no sight story.
00:18:29Oh, no sight story.
00:18:59Oh, no sight story.
00:19:29Oh, no sight story.
00:19:31Oh, no sight story.
00:19:33Oh, no sight story.
00:19:37Oh, no sight story.
00:19:41Oh, no sight story.
00:19:43What a lovely surprise.
00:19:45Aunt Hester.
00:19:47Julie.
00:19:49How lovely to see you.
00:19:51And without bringing you some chocolates.
00:19:53Oh, yes.
00:19:55So.
00:19:57We received your card, dear kind of you to even think of us.
00:20:03We had a struggle to decipher your script.
00:20:07Hester said it looked like a spider had run through the inkwell.
00:20:11Oh.
00:20:13Oh.
00:20:15But you had a lovely time.
00:20:17We worked out that much.
00:20:19I did.
00:20:21And what about yourselves?
00:20:23You look well?
00:20:25Is everybody else?
00:20:26Well?
00:20:27Yes.
00:20:28Everybody?
00:20:29Yes.
00:20:30Yes.
00:20:31Very well.
00:20:32Good.
00:20:33Soames and Irene.
00:20:41Are they ever in town?
00:20:43Oh, yes.
00:20:45That business with the house.
00:20:47They never left.
00:20:49What business?
00:20:51What business?
00:20:55Some difficulty.
00:20:56Hester understands it better than I.
00:21:05Aunt Hester.
00:21:09Mr. Bassini was careless once too often with the budget.
00:21:13Soames is going to sue.
00:21:19How careless.
00:21:20350 pounds.
00:21:24Is that all?
00:21:25It's a sizable sum.
00:21:27Not to a man like Soames.
00:21:33People will be talking.
00:21:34We prefer not to listen.
00:21:36All the same, it matters what they say.
00:21:44You must understand the delicacy of my position.
00:21:46I introduced Philip Bassini to Soames to further his career, not destroy it.
00:21:53My dear, you can hardly blame yourself.
00:21:55You introduced him as an architect.
00:22:02You think he has strayed beyond that role?
00:22:07I have no idea.
00:22:08But that is what people say.
00:22:20And Soames, stupid, stupid Soames has trumped up some charge to take Phil to court, knowing he hasn't the money for the fight, knowing he has nothing.
00:22:28Except Irene.
00:22:29What Soames is doing, he's throwing them together.
00:22:36How can Irene's heart not go out to Phil?
00:22:38My heart goes out to him.
00:22:40He doesn't deserve it.
00:22:41He doesn't deserve this treatment.
00:22:44Think what you like about him.
00:22:46He's a brilliant man.
00:22:48A visionary.
00:22:49And all that could be lost.
00:22:50Damn Soames with his thousands in the bank and nothing in his soul.
00:22:56Damn him to hell.
00:22:57June.
00:22:58If this were anyone but Phil, you would agree.
00:23:01They'll be the talk of London.
00:23:02What if they are?
00:23:03Please, June.
00:23:05Let Bassini go.
00:23:07Hello.
00:23:08Hello.
00:23:20Hello.
00:23:21No, Phil.
00:23:22Not here.
00:23:28Hello.
00:23:30Hello.
00:23:32ORCHESTRA PLAYS
00:24:02It's, um, it has a life, which, um...
00:24:08Bassini!
00:24:10I haven't seen you at the club for some time.
00:24:13No, no.
00:24:14How are you?
00:24:15Well, well, and you?
00:24:16Sir.
00:24:23Mrs. Irene Foresight.
00:24:25How do you do?
00:24:26Mr. Jolion Foresight.
00:24:28What do you do?
00:24:29Mr. Jolion Foresight is an artist.
00:24:34No Turner, I'm afraid.
00:24:38Watercolours, mainly.
00:24:40On a gloomy day, I find a stroll through here really can raise the spirits like nothing else.
00:24:47Don't you agree?
00:24:48Oh, yes.
00:24:55Poor Mr. Bassini.
00:24:57He...
00:24:58He little realised when my husband contracted him to design us a house,
00:25:04he'd be called upon to advise me on everything from plants to cushion covers.
00:25:09Well, we should leave you to your art.
00:25:16Yes.
00:25:17Good day.
00:25:18Good day.
00:25:18Good day.
00:25:18It's June's father.
00:25:29Who abandoned her to follow his heart.
00:25:31You heard him.
00:25:32He more than anyone would wish to protect her from talk.
00:25:34Nor would he wish upon her a lifetime of pity and resentment,
00:25:37which is what I would have done had I married June.
00:25:39What should we have done, you and I?
00:25:43Never met?
00:25:44Out of our control?
00:25:45Never fallen in love?
00:25:47Before we knew it, it was too late.
00:25:49We cannot expect this to be easy.
00:25:51You do love me.
00:25:52Love you?
00:25:55I'm prepared to lose everything for you.
00:25:57I would leave this city, this country at a moment's notice.
00:26:02I would grub in the dirt with my fingers,
00:26:04sell my soul to spend my life with you.
00:26:10Respectability will not keep you warm at night.
00:26:12You know it.
00:26:15Jolyon Forsyte knew it.
00:26:16He had to fight for his happiness,
00:26:18which is what we shall have to do.
00:26:23But we will do it.
00:26:24And it will taste twice as sweet.
00:26:29Oh, a little courage, my love.
00:26:33Letter here proves Bissini was quoted a lower figure on the timing
00:26:37by Templeton's son.
00:26:39Oh.
00:26:39Good, sir?
00:26:41Good enough for Lady Charlesworth's home in Kensington.
00:26:43How are you, Jolyon?
00:26:45I haven't seen you for an age.
00:26:47You've come for my will.
00:26:48Ah.
00:26:49Well, we...
00:26:50You've been to Switzerland, they tell me.
00:26:53We have.
00:26:55Ah.
00:26:56You know this young Bissini's got himself into a mess.
00:27:00Ah, I knew how it'd be.
00:27:02Over 350 pounds.
00:27:06You know it.
00:27:08Is it common knowledge?
00:27:12I thought Selms was a man of property.
00:27:14No, it isn't the money.
00:27:15What then?
00:27:16The principle?
00:27:18I doubt if Selms could even spell the word.
00:27:22You'll be wanting to make an alteration.
00:27:26I'm taking my business to Herring and Pullbreaths.
00:27:28There's something I need to tell you.
00:27:36I'm settling a thousand a year on you.
00:27:40Hmm?
00:27:41Joan will have 50,000 of my death and the rest is for you.
00:27:44Dad, Dad.
00:27:44No, no, I'm telling you this merely for your information.
00:27:46Huh?
00:27:46I've been looking back.
00:27:47I've been taking stock.
00:27:50I think this London life is responsible for half our troubles.
00:27:54Hmm?
00:27:54Dad, we...
00:27:55I want us to be a family again while we still have the chance.
00:27:57I want us to make a fresh start.
00:28:00Hmm?
00:28:00Away from London.
00:28:02Where we can introduce ourselves as foresights without flinching.
00:28:07Well, think about it.
00:28:10Fresh air instead of fog.
00:28:12Plenty of room for the children to run wild.
00:28:14Space.
00:28:16Light.
00:28:17Landscapes.
00:28:18You mean everything we don't have now?
00:28:21Exactly.
00:28:24Have you somewhere in mind?
00:28:25Not yet.
00:28:33How do you feel about that, Helen?
00:28:36What is there to feel?
00:28:38What can one feel, except relief?
00:28:41Except...
00:28:42What?
00:28:44Gratitude?
00:28:48Why now?
00:28:49Because now's the right time.
00:28:50I think we're happy where we are.
00:28:57Come on, Perry.
00:28:58Get up.
00:28:59Come on, Perry.
00:29:00Really?
00:29:01Come on.
00:29:02Can one be happy in St John's Wood?
00:29:06Yes.
00:29:08One can be very, very happy.
00:29:11Hmm.
00:29:15Come on, Perry.
00:29:17Goodbye.
00:29:17Goodbye.
00:29:18Goodbye.
00:29:18Goodbye.
00:29:19Goodbye.
00:29:19Goodbye.
00:29:20Goodbye.
00:29:22That wasn't quite how you pictured it, was it, Dad?
00:29:27Hurry up.
00:29:28Hey!
00:29:29You're even less of a foresight than a thought.
00:29:31Hey!
00:29:32Hey!
00:29:34I expect I should be grateful for that.
00:29:40Hey!
00:29:40Hey!
00:29:41Hey!
00:29:41Hey!
00:29:42Look at me!
00:29:45And you'll be able to ride again?
00:29:47And teach the children?
00:29:48Come on, Perry.
00:29:49Depends on where we end up.
00:29:50Come on, Perry.
00:29:51Come on, Perry.
00:29:52Depends on where we end up.
00:29:53Oh.
00:29:54Somewhere with stables, I suppose.
00:29:55He invited us to come and live, but it will be your father's house, his choice, and June
00:30:03will have her say, I suppose.
00:30:05And then, if you have any doubt, then...
00:30:06Ellen, if you have any doubt, then...
00:30:08I want my children to belong.
00:30:10It's what I always wanted.
00:30:12It's what I always wanted.
00:30:13Is this what you always wanted?
00:30:16I was sure it would never happen.
00:30:20Oh, those years.
00:30:21You missed him very much, didn't you?
00:30:26He's my father.
00:30:27And then those years made us what we are.
00:30:28He's given us Julian and Holly.
00:30:29I...
00:30:30I know.
00:30:31I'm just frightened.
00:30:33We'll be so different.
00:30:34But if you had to choose again...
00:30:35It would be you.
00:30:36Always be you.
00:30:37It would be you.
00:30:38I love you.
00:30:58to choose again.
00:31:00It'll be you.
00:31:01Always be you.
00:31:03I love you.
00:31:15I must go.
00:31:16Don't go.
00:31:18I must.
00:31:28Will you miss this place?
00:31:31Truth, not a bit.
00:31:33Two days, Phil, then we shall be free.
00:31:35You are sure?
00:31:36The hotel is booked, everything's in place.
00:31:39As the judge is announcing this verdict, we'll be starting our new life together.
00:31:42Two more days, Phil.
00:31:43Two more than I'd like.
00:31:58Two more days, Phil.
00:32:28Two more days, Phil.
00:32:58Two more days, Phil.
00:33:00Three more days, Phil.
00:33:02Two more days, Phil.
00:34:34Yes, your husband.
00:34:45No.
00:34:47Too much to dream.
00:34:48Wait, too long.
00:34:49No.
00:34:50No.
00:34:51No.
00:34:52No.
00:34:53No.
00:34:54No.
00:34:55No.
00:34:56No.
00:34:57No.
00:34:58No, please.
00:34:59Please.
00:35:00Please.
00:35:01Don't.
00:35:02I'll give her to you.
00:35:02Oh!
00:35:03No!
00:35:05No.
00:35:06No.
00:35:07No.
00:35:08Ah!
00:35:09Come on!
00:35:11No!
00:35:12No!
00:35:13Oh!
00:35:14Oh!
00:35:15No!
00:35:16No!
00:35:17No!
00:35:18No! No!
00:35:23Lie still, I say!
00:35:27Be quiet!
00:35:29It's dark. Think it's him.
00:35:41No! No!
00:35:43No! No!
00:35:45No!
00:35:46Oh, no!
00:35:52No!
00:35:53No!
00:35:54No!
00:35:55No!
00:35:57No!
00:35:58No!
00:36:00Oh!
00:36:16No!
00:36:17No!
00:36:18No!
00:36:19No!
00:36:20No!
00:36:21No!
00:36:22No!
00:36:23No!
00:36:24No!
00:36:25No!
00:36:26No!
00:36:27See why can't it always be like this?
00:36:29No!
00:36:30No!
00:36:31No!
00:36:32No!
00:36:33No!
00:36:34No!
00:36:35No!
00:36:37No!
00:36:38Oh, my God.
00:37:08Will you put the lamps on, Bilson?
00:37:27It's gloomy this morning.
00:37:29It's the fog, sir.
00:37:33If Mrs Forsythe goes out today, will you be sure to get her a carriage?
00:37:36Yes.
00:37:36Can I get you a tincture for that scratch, sir?
00:37:40It's a card.
00:37:40I did it shaving.
00:37:41I'm going to get you a tincture for that scratch, sir.
00:37:45I'm going to get you a tincture for that scratch, sir.
00:38:52Final instructions.
00:38:57Tell a fellow to get a haircut and wear a clean shirt and charge three guineas for the privilege.
00:39:02I'm in the wrong business.
00:39:07Irene, are you all right?
00:39:12I didn't sleep.
00:39:15What's the matter?
00:39:18Something the matter?
00:39:24You've come to tell me you've changed your mind.
00:39:28No.
00:39:29That you haven't the courage to leave Soames after all.
00:39:31No.
00:39:32Then what, Irene?
00:39:33Please don't do this to me.
00:39:34Oh.
00:39:35What's that?
00:39:36Nothing.
00:39:37Well, surely.
00:39:38I'm sorry.
00:39:39Sorry.
00:39:40Let me see.
00:39:41Shh.
00:39:42Did he do this?
00:39:52Yes.
00:39:53Last night?
00:39:54Can I see I've hurt you before?
00:39:59No.
00:40:00What happened?
00:40:01If we can just get through tomorrow, I cannot.
00:40:02Tell me.
00:40:03You might.
00:40:04Free me.
00:40:05I will pack my things tonight.
00:40:06You will never know.
00:40:07You're not going home.
00:40:08If you did this last night, God knows what he might do tonight.
00:40:09I will bolt the door.
00:40:10I won't.
00:40:11I won't forget this time.
00:40:13He came to your room.
00:40:34What did he do?
00:40:35We'll kill him.
00:40:39Irene?
00:40:40I was sleeping.
00:40:42He...
00:40:43He climbed into bed.
00:40:45He said I should be nice to him.
00:40:50He said he was my husband.
00:40:53He...
00:41:04I begged him to stop.
00:41:06You must believe me.
00:41:11Why did we wait?
00:41:15We could have left weeks ago.
00:41:18But why did I listen to you?
00:41:22Where is he?
00:41:23He's at his office.
00:41:25You must not go there.
00:41:27You will not go there.
00:41:29We can't get away with this.
00:41:31We'll have our justice in court.
00:41:33I'm coming with you.
00:41:34No!
00:41:35Haven't you been through enough?
00:41:36It's safe.
00:41:37Don't leave me.
00:41:39I beg your pardon, Liz.
00:41:40I'm so sorry.
00:41:42Are you alright?
00:41:43Yes.
00:41:44Yes.
00:41:45Come on.
00:41:49Bill?
00:41:53Bill!
00:42:03Foresight?
00:42:04Where is he?
00:42:05Excuse me, sir.
00:42:06Can I help you?
00:42:07Where is the pillar of society?
00:42:08Foresight!
00:42:09I know you're in there!
00:42:10Don't think you can hide behind your pen.
00:42:11What is going on?
00:42:12Wrong.
00:42:13Foresight.
00:42:14What are you doing here to see?
00:42:15I am because it's hurt.
00:42:16I'm here with good reason.
00:42:17Where is your son?
00:42:18He isn't here, fortunately for you.
00:42:19I'll wait.
00:42:20If you have something to say, send it to the court.
00:42:21No, I'll wait.
00:42:22No, sir.
00:42:23You will leave before I have you thrown out.
00:42:24You think I don't know where he lives?
00:42:25Study it.
00:42:26Study it.
00:42:27Study it.
00:42:28It's not a threat.
00:42:29You think I don't know his club?
00:42:30I'll find him.
00:42:31Do and you'll wake up in the Brightwell.
00:42:32Oh, it'll be worthy.
00:42:33Believe me.
00:42:34See if I'll have her out the door.
00:42:36Oh, no, no, no.
00:42:37I'll wait.
00:42:38I'll wait.
00:42:39If you have something to say, send it to the court.
00:42:41No, I'll wait.
00:42:42If you have something to say, send it to the court.
00:42:43No, I'll wait.
00:42:44No, sir.
00:42:45You will leave before I have you thrown out.
00:42:46We think I don't know where he lives.
00:42:47Study it.
00:42:48Study it.
00:42:49It's not a threat.
00:42:50You think I don't know his club?
00:42:52I'll find him.
00:42:53You do and you'll wake up in the Brightwell.
00:42:55Oh, it'll be worthy.
00:42:56Believe me.
00:42:57See if I'll have her out the door.
00:42:59Oh, there's nothing going.
00:43:02Oh, there's no way there going.
00:43:04Hey, hey.
00:43:10Mr. Phillip is sitting here to see Mr. Soam's foresight.
00:43:13It is of an urgent nature.
00:43:14But good sir, if you will kindly wait.
00:43:16And of course we might like it.
00:43:19Did you?
00:43:20Oh, much jeer, sir.
00:43:21It'll be perfect.
00:43:22Well, I think the price is great for me,
00:43:24I think the price is great for me.
00:43:25I think the price is great for me.
00:43:26I think the price is great for me.
00:43:27Mr. Soames, Forsyte is not here today, sir.
00:43:45You're a liar.
00:43:47I do not like your tone, sir.
00:43:49You're a liar, and you would not be so quick to protect him if you knew what I know.
00:43:53Sir, you kindly leave.
00:43:54Don't call me sir, and then treat me like a piece of dirt.
00:43:58Forsyte! Forsyte!
00:44:00Come on, then, be a man!
00:44:02Forsyte! Be a man!
00:44:04The worst in your life!
00:44:06Don't! Forsyte!
00:44:07If all I tell them matters, are you really?
00:44:10Forsyte!
00:44:11Come on!
00:44:12Come on!
00:44:16I got it!
00:44:24I got it!
00:44:42I got it!
00:44:42I got it!
00:44:42I got it!
00:45:12I bought you this.
00:45:25Do you like it?
00:45:42You deserve the best of everything, Irene.
00:45:51You look pale.
00:45:52You should rest.
00:45:52Excuse me, madam.
00:45:55Would you like me to serve dinner now?
00:45:56No.
00:46:05You haven't eaten anything, sir.
00:46:07Was something wrong?
00:46:08No.
00:46:10Anxiety about this case, I suppose.
00:46:12I'm sure you had nothing to fear.
00:46:14Let us hope Mr Justice Bentham shares your view.
00:46:16Let Mrs Forsyte sleep this morning, Bilson.
00:46:23She has already wished me luck.
00:46:29I suppose it'll be on directly.
00:46:31It's bound to be.
00:46:32You're sure Walter was the right man for the job?
00:46:36I must hope, sir.
00:46:39Consolation is it's no reflection on foresight busted and foresight if it doesn't go your
00:46:42way.
00:46:43Not that it won't.
00:46:45It's down to embarrass us now, anyway.
00:46:48Yours or his?
00:46:50Mine.
00:46:51Morning, Chankery.
00:46:52Good morning, Mr Waterbuck.
00:46:53I suppose you have a feathers for sinnies.
00:46:55It is.
00:46:56It looks like a child let loose in a dressing-up box.
00:47:01Morning, Walter.
00:47:03Morning.
00:47:03Have you briefed foresight?
00:47:05I have.
00:47:05What's she doing here?
00:47:06How did you go?
00:47:07Smooth enough.
00:47:09Told him Justice Bentham was a common sense for a judge.
00:47:11Good.
00:47:12Good.
00:47:12Good of you, the Count.
00:47:13Goodness had nothing to do with it, Uncle.
00:47:15These small battles must be rigorously fought.
00:47:18Oh, here, here.
00:47:19Good architecture requires discipline.
00:47:22A balance between one's heart and one's head.
00:47:24Hmm.
00:47:24Amen to that.
00:47:25That Soames cannot separate the two is his tragedy.
00:47:29You're here to support the other fellow.
00:47:32Yes, I am.
00:47:35What happened to family loyalty?
00:47:38Good morning, sir.
00:47:39Oh, good morning, Uncle.
00:47:40What's good about it?
00:47:41I'll have a word with Walter.
00:47:43Walter?
00:47:44Really nervous, Soames?
00:47:45Other side of the fence and all that?
00:47:47He'll be wanting to rub his nose in it, I bet.
00:47:49The old buccaneer?
00:47:51Not at all.
00:47:51The principles have stuck.
00:47:52The man starts talking about principles.
00:47:54He knows he's on a sticky wicket.
00:47:57Don't worry, old boy.
00:47:57You could always lay it off.
00:47:59Lay it off?
00:48:00Yes.
00:48:00I'll have a quick word with Bissini's opposite, um, fellow.
00:48:03What do you say?
00:48:05250 apiece?
00:48:06You'd be laughing.
00:48:07Spry of him.
00:48:08Bet in, man.
00:48:09Winner pays the loser.
00:48:11That makes sense.
00:48:12Don't be upset.
00:48:15It's good business, whichever way you look at it.
00:48:17Tricky case like yours.
00:48:19Good luck, old boy.
00:48:19No, you're the best.
00:48:21Call Philip Baines-Bissini.
00:48:24Call Philip Baines-Bissini.
00:48:26Call Philip Baines-Bissini.
00:48:56Call Philip Baines-Bissini.
00:49:26Yes?
00:49:33Your champagne, Mrs Bassini.
00:49:35I didn't order any.
00:49:37Your husband did.
00:49:38Oh. When?
00:49:40When you reserve the room, madam.
00:49:42Oh.
00:49:43Shall I open the champagne?
00:49:45Oh, no.
00:49:47Thank you. I'll wait.
00:49:49Very good, madam.
00:49:56Yeah.
00:51:26I was in court. I've come to tell him that he lost the case.
00:51:33Come to tell him?
00:51:34He didn't turn up.
00:51:41Don't just stand there as if you were made of stone!
00:51:43I wish to God I were.
00:51:48I was here first!
00:51:51What?
00:51:52You have no right to come.
00:51:54I have left Soames.
00:52:03Just as you always wanted.
00:52:07Presumably before you knew he'd won the case.
00:52:10I do not care about the case.
00:52:12You have that luxury.
00:52:14Phil does not.
00:52:15He has a talent. He can start again.
00:52:18Where? How?
00:52:20We will find a way.
00:52:23We?
00:52:23You have been a false friend to me.
00:52:30What did you used to tell me?
00:52:34You cannot force love where there is none.
00:52:36You said Soames tried to buy me body and soul.
00:52:43Had you stayed with Phil, you would be guilty of the same.
00:52:46Don't you dare compare me to Soames.
00:52:49Then why are you here?
00:52:52Hmm?
00:52:52Why now if not to offer help when you know he'd find it hardest to refuse?
00:53:00Oh, look at you.
00:53:05So composed.
00:53:07So gentle.
00:53:09You have the softest voice and yet you say the cruelest things.
00:53:17I don't mean to be cruel.
00:53:20Your friendship...
00:53:22Don't talk to me of friendship.
00:53:24Your friendship saved me, June.
00:53:26And yours has ruined my life.
00:53:31It will ruin his too.
00:53:37I love him.
00:53:39You know nothing about love.
00:53:42You have no passion, no feeling.
00:53:45I want to slap you, shake some life into you and into Phil for being taken in by you.
00:53:51You are a leech.
00:53:53You've no life about yourself, so you suck it out of everybody else.
00:53:56Perhaps he's wiser than we think.
00:54:07Perhaps that's why he's gone.
00:54:10Well, he wasn't in court.
00:54:11He's not here.
00:54:13Tell me, Irene.
00:54:14Where is your lover now?
00:54:16Good afternoon, Miss June.
00:54:30Thank you, Kate.
00:54:39Ah!
00:54:41Come here, Muffin.
00:54:42I haven't seen any of your pals since our show.
00:54:49There used to be so many of them.
00:54:52You should be living.
00:54:53You need a family around.
00:54:54You need life.
00:54:55Not rubbing along all alone with an old man like me.
00:54:59So,
00:55:00I've decided to retire from London.
00:55:05Your father and his family have consented to join me.
00:55:08It would be my dearest wish if you should find it in your heart to come to.
00:55:15I want to put things right.
00:55:17Hmm.
00:55:19When I cut Joe off, it's as if he died.
00:55:23It's a terrible thing to lose a child.
00:55:27You'll understand that when you have children, do you not?
00:55:29Do you have somewhere in mind?
00:55:36There's always Soames' place.
00:55:38Well, I'm Pellier Square.
00:55:39Robin Hill.
00:55:41It's exquisitely done and stands there empty.
00:55:45Perfect family home.
00:55:46For the man of property.
00:55:48He'll never live there now.
00:55:50Hmm?
00:55:51The case went in his favor.
00:55:54But Irene's left Soames at last.
00:55:56If you bought it,
00:56:02you could settle his claim against Phil.
00:56:04Have you been seeing Bissini again?
00:56:06After all that I said...
00:56:07No.
00:56:09But I have been to his rooms.
00:56:11June!
00:56:12I want to help Phil.
00:56:13You want me to help?
00:56:15It's the same thing.
00:56:16Let Irene help him.
00:56:17Gran!
00:56:18I told you to let him go.
00:56:20I begged you.
00:56:20I could have begged you to let my father go, but I didn't.
00:56:23I didn't.
00:56:26It is a wonderful house.
00:56:28Everybody says so.
00:56:29Ideal for what you want.
00:56:31We could be happy there.
00:56:33You think you could be?
00:56:34We would bring the place alive.
00:56:36Make it our own.
00:56:37No.
00:56:38Trust me.
00:56:39One day you will forget what Phil has done and see only what he has created.
00:56:43No.
00:56:44Gran!
00:56:44Evening, Bilson.
00:56:47Evening, sir.
00:56:49If you ask Henry if he'd go down into the cellar, pick out the Steinberg.
00:56:5552, I think.
00:56:57Sir.
00:56:58The celebratory drinks in order.
00:56:59Sir.
00:57:01Is Mrs. Forsyte feeling any better?
00:57:02Yes, sir.
00:57:03Good.
00:57:04Perhaps she'd ask her if she'd like to join me in the drawing room.
00:57:07Mrs. Forsyte went out about noon, sir.
00:57:09She took two bags with her.
00:57:14Did she leave a message?
00:57:16No message.
00:57:19I made sure to get her a carriage, sir.
00:57:27Thank you, Bilson.
00:58:43Don't do anything rash.
00:58:51Go to Stainer's.
00:58:53If they can't find her, no one will.
00:58:55She won't blend easily into the mass.
00:58:58Not with her face.
00:59:00She won't come back.
00:59:01I know her.
00:59:02We can still avoid a scandal.
00:59:04Mr. Jolian Forsythe to see you, sir.
00:59:06What can we do for you, Uncle?
00:59:10I gather the new house is a white elephant.
00:59:12I beg your pardon.
00:59:13Now, what I was thinking was this.
00:59:15If you're not going to live there yourself...
00:59:17Who's told you that?
00:59:20Well, I'm thinking of a place in the country.
00:59:22And I don't say I can look at it myself at the right sort of price.
00:59:25Yes, Gradman?
00:59:26I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. James, sir.
00:59:29Mr. Soames, sir.
00:59:30There's a policeman here to see you.
00:59:32I don't think it's that you're going to move.
00:59:50Do you identify the body, sir?
01:00:09That is Philip Burns Bissini.
01:00:12The poor buccaneer.
01:00:20She'll be waiting for him.
01:00:24And you?
01:00:42He's laying here since last night.
01:00:45There was nothing to identify him, apart from the court papers.
01:00:50No possessions of any value.
01:00:52The Times mentioned a man dead. It's a wonder more weren't killed.
01:00:55The driver says the fog was not so thick just there, sir.
01:00:58So Bissini could have seen his approach.
01:01:00He would have had more time to see what he was about.
01:01:04Unless his mind was elsewhere.
01:01:06Was that all right?
01:01:08He tipped up at the office ranting and raving like a loon.
01:01:12When was this?
01:01:13Yesterday afternoon.
01:01:16Sir?
01:01:18I wasn't there.
01:01:20He was a tempestuous fellow, certainly.
01:01:22What you might call an artistic temperament.
01:01:26We found some porn tickets of Mr. Bissini's rooms.
01:01:30And his account at the bank is overdrawn.
01:01:33Legal defense doesn't come cheap.
01:01:36It was common knowledge defeat would have ruined him.
01:01:38Anxiety about the verdict, financial pressures, fears for his future and so on.
01:01:48It seems quite likely the balance of his mind was upset.
01:01:51Suicide.
01:01:52Well, he was a tempestuous fellow.
01:01:53He was passionate.
01:01:54Talented.
01:01:55A man with everything to live for.
01:01:56It's done all.
01:01:57Thank you, sir.
01:01:58Thank you, sir.
01:01:59Thank you, sir.
01:02:00Thank you, sir.
01:02:01Thank you, sir.
01:02:03Thank you, sir.

01:04:43I mean sit down
01:06:03If Phil was looking for him, he would have killed him if he had found him.
01:06:12I'll see you home.
01:06:18I have now.
01:06:21No.
01:06:22I'll, um, take you back to, I'll take you back with me if, if that's what you want.
01:06:32No.
01:06:33It's not what June would want.
01:06:36Or your father.
01:06:39No tell then.
01:06:40No.
01:06:41We never set out to hurt June.
01:06:53I know.
01:06:55She was my friend.
01:07:02You have been kinder than I deserve.
01:07:04Where will you go?
01:07:13Montpelier Square.
01:07:14Yeah.
01:07:15I have no choice.
01:07:16I have no choice.
01:07:17You look exhausted.
01:07:18I need to get some sleep.
01:07:19Yes.
01:07:20I didn't think.
01:07:21I didn't think.
01:07:22Don't do anything you might regret.
01:07:23Don't do anything you might regret.
01:07:24Don't do anything you might regret.
01:07:25Regret everything.
01:07:26What would you don't regret?
01:07:33What would you do, um, live outside?
01:07:39Please, Dig it.
01:07:44Yeah, let me see.
01:07:47There is no time for what you were, Regret Alex.
01:07:53I just want to move to Daimops.
01:07:55every new breath.
01:08:15You'd better come in.
01:08:25My wife is back where she belongs.
01:08:31Your duty is discharged.
01:08:32I should explain.
01:08:33I've been expecting you.
01:08:35She's still distressed.
01:08:36Then she will talk to me.
01:08:39Her husband.
01:08:40I'll bid you goodnight.
01:08:44Irene.
01:08:55This has happened for a reason.
01:09:10We were meant to salvage something.
01:09:16Start again.
01:09:20In time you will see it as I do.
01:09:22We have a new life.
01:09:27A new house in Robin Hill
01:09:28should we choose to take it.
01:09:32We can put all this behind us.
01:09:36All this?
01:09:40In time you will see.
01:09:52Irene?
01:10:07Irene?
01:10:10Irene?
01:10:11I could have saved him.
01:10:14If he'd only married me, grandfather.
01:10:16If we hadn't waited him.
01:10:20Come to pay your last respects.
01:10:23I'll introduce you.
01:10:24Mr and Mrs Baines.
01:10:26Meet the man who killed your nephew.
01:10:32Life is a dance we must learn.
01:10:36Into the night we will turn.
01:10:41Time holds the secrets of our song.
01:10:45Moments are given then gone.
01:10:49Come have this dance with me darling.
01:10:54I'll hold you tight till the dawn.
01:10:58Let the night see how I love you.
01:11:02So the moon can tell the sun.
01:11:06So the moon can tell the sun.
01:11:15And what we love you.
01:11:18And the moon can tell the moon.
01:11:19The moon can tell the moon.
01:11:21So the moon can tell the moon.
01:11:23So the moon can tell the sun is a little bit.
01:11:25I'll hold you tight till the moon.
01:11:26From the moon can tell the moon.
01:11:27Oh, my god.
