00:00:00I was sleeping.
00:00:04He climbed into bed. He said I should be nice to him.
00:00:09Yes, your husband.
00:00:11Oh, no.
00:00:13No, I'm coming with you.
00:00:14No! How do you be there enough?
00:00:16No! Of course I!
00:00:17You thought I'd tell a man before you really...
00:00:23I have left Surms.
00:00:27Just as you always wanted.
00:00:28You've no life about yourself, so you suck it out of everybody else!
00:00:33I'd go in the new house. She's a white elephant.
00:00:35I beg your pardon.
00:00:36But I'm thinking of a place in the country.
00:00:38And I don't say right and look at it myself. The rights are a price.
00:00:42The poor Guccaneer.
00:00:45She'll be waiting for him.
00:00:47I'm so sorry.
00:00:51Where will you go?
00:00:53Montpelier Square.
00:00:56I have no choice.
00:00:58You'd better come in.
00:00:59Montpelier Square.
00:01:00I have no choice.
00:01:02You better come in.
00:01:07You better come in.
00:01:08You better come in.
00:01:11You better come in.
00:01:12Let's go.
00:01:42Let's go.
00:02:12Let's go.
00:02:41Let's go.
00:02:43Mr. Forsyte.
00:02:46Mr. Forsyte.
00:02:51Mr. Forsyte.
00:02:53Yes, Pilsen.
00:02:55What is it?
00:02:59I was checking the calling cards, so...
00:03:03It's Mrs. Forsyte's.
00:03:05Thank you, Pilsen.
00:03:15I'll see if she gets it.
00:03:17Shot.
00:03:31Even though I do say so myself.
00:03:35Fluke.
00:03:37I say, eyes front.
00:03:39Look at the cat's dragged in.
00:03:41Back in the bosom of the family, I see.
00:03:45Safe to shake my hand again, certainly.
00:03:47How are you, George?
00:03:48Very well.
00:03:49Sir?
00:03:50You know...
00:03:51Darty.
00:03:52Kill the fatted calf, eh?
00:03:53What a time to be a foresight.
00:03:55This sounds business.
00:03:56Freddie's getting almost hourly bulletin.
00:03:58She's gone, she's back, she's run away with a butcher.
00:04:00Sad affair, if you ask me.
00:04:02She's no money, you know.
00:04:04Oh.
00:04:05Left the family jewels intact.
00:04:06Remarkably.
00:04:07For a lady.
00:04:08All alone knows where she is.
00:04:11We should eat.
00:04:13Darty has a theory.
00:04:14Don't you, Darty?
00:04:15I'll give you eight to one.
00:04:16He's done her in and buried her under the roses.
00:04:18I'm not a betting man, and Irene deserves better.
00:04:22Ten to one?
00:04:23I'll take it.
00:04:26Good day.
00:04:28Jabberling fools.
00:04:29You've changed the flowers, Bilson.
00:04:36I do it every Friday, sir.
00:04:38In every room in the house?
00:04:40Yes, sir.
00:04:41Except Mrs Forsyte's?
00:04:42Yes, sir.
00:04:43Did I request that?
00:04:44No, sir.
00:04:45Did Mrs Forsyte?
00:04:46No, sir.
00:04:47Until we do, please continue your duties as normal.
00:04:51Shall I change the bed linen, sir?
00:04:56You usually do that on a Friday.
00:04:57On a Monday, sir.
00:04:58Then do it on a Monday!
00:04:59Sir.
00:05:00June.
00:05:01I don't even know what to call you.
00:05:05Jolyon?
00:05:06I don't even know what to call you.
00:05:07Jolyon?
00:05:08Have you been walking?
00:05:10I've been to see Mrs Baines, Phil's aunt.
00:05:13He didn't have much in the way of family.
00:05:14She wasn't much of an aunt.
00:05:15Still, she's terribly upset.
00:05:16I've told her I'll organise the funeral.
00:05:17I've told her I'll organise the funeral.
00:05:18Hmm?
00:05:19Hmm?
00:05:20Hmm?
00:05:21Hmm?
00:05:22You're humouring me.
00:05:23You're humouring me.
00:05:24Hmm?
00:05:25Hmm?
00:05:26Hmm?
00:05:27Hmm?
00:05:28Hmm?
00:05:29Hmm?
00:05:30Hmm?
00:05:31I could have saved him.
00:05:32I could have saved him.
00:05:33If he hadn't, if he hadn't killed me.
00:05:34Hmm?
00:05:35If he'd only married me, driving me, crying.
00:05:37Shh!
00:05:38He'd only married me, crying.
00:05:39Shh!
00:05:40Shh!
00:05:41He didn't have much in the way of family.
00:05:42He didn't have much in the way of family.
00:05:43She wasn't much of an aunt.
00:05:44Still, she's terribly upset.
00:05:45I've told her I'll organise the funeral.
00:05:46Hmm?
00:05:47Oh?
00:05:48You're humouring me.
00:05:51Hmm?
00:05:53Hmm?
00:05:54I could have saved him.
00:06:01If he'd only married me, crying.
00:06:04If we hadn't waited...
00:06:07If wishes were horses.
00:06:12Then beggars might ride.
00:06:14I'm afraid.
00:06:33How is she?
00:06:35You're her father. Why did she ask her?
00:06:41I thought you wanted to get to know her.
00:06:44You start by offering you a little comfort.
00:06:49What use is that for me?
00:06:51Words.
00:06:53I haven't earned the right.
00:06:56Well, you could try.
00:07:20I'm sorry.
00:07:35About Bissini, about a lot of things.
00:07:39June, I want us to be friends more than anything in the world.
00:07:51I don't know how to answer you.
00:07:54You don't know me.
00:07:55I know you love Bissini.
00:07:58He's very talented but not a penny to his name.
00:08:02And that can't have been easy in a family like this.
00:08:06No.
00:08:08But you stuck by him.
00:08:10And lost him.
00:08:11And miss him.
00:08:16Do your children know about me?
00:08:18Oh, they've always known.
00:08:20I should love you to meet them.
00:08:25Perhaps.
00:08:27There is the funeral to consider first.
00:08:29Well, maybe one day.
00:08:37Was Bissini religious?
00:08:42He had a faith of sorts.
00:08:44He thought the human spirit was innately good.
00:08:47Wrongly, it would seem.
00:08:49Well, you don't believe that.
00:08:52He's dead, isn't he?
00:08:54And you're arranging the funeral.
00:08:56I'd call that good, in the circumstances.
00:09:00Who else is going to do it?
00:09:10Not Irene.
00:09:12She's left Soames.
00:09:14She's disappeared.
00:09:18The man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live,
00:09:21and is full of misery.
00:09:23He cometh up, and is cut down like a flower.
00:09:26He fleeth, as it were, a shadow,
00:09:29and never continueth in one stay.
00:09:31Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts.
00:09:35Shut not thy merciful ears to our prayer.
00:09:38But spare us, Lord most holy,
00:09:41O God most mighty, O holy and merciful Saviour,
00:09:44Thou most worthy judge, eternal.
00:09:47The sufferer's immortal, O God, O God, O God, O God.
00:09:49Sovereign, O God, O God, O God, O God, O God, O God.
00:09:50Come to pay your last respects.
00:10:02Your guests are waiting.
00:10:06I'll introduce you.
00:10:08Mr. and Mrs. Baines.
00:10:10Meet the man who killed your nephew.
00:10:12I don't hear you denying it.
00:10:15I wouldn't demean myself.
00:10:17You're not here to appeal for God's forgiveness.
00:10:19Why have you come?
00:10:23I didn't really think that she'd be here.
00:10:26June?
00:10:28Is everything all right?
00:10:30Everything's fine. I'll follow you on.
00:10:33Don't you think Irene knows the way your mind works?
00:10:37I do, and I've never had the misfortune of living with you.
00:10:40The belief is me too, June. If you'll excuse me.
00:10:42Sometimes I wonder if there's blood in your veins.
00:10:46Better a little composure than a show of famed emotions,
00:10:49the dutiful fiancé and mourning act.
00:10:51There's nothing dutiful about my feelings for Phil.
00:10:53No, there's nothing honest about them either.
00:10:55If Bassini's dead, it's because he was off with Irene when he should have been with you.
00:10:58Why was that, June?
00:11:00Ah, not so full of theories now.
00:11:03I wasn't enough.
00:11:06I lied.
00:11:08I wasn't enough.
00:11:11At last, a little truth.
00:11:13Yes. Yes.
00:11:15And there's the difference between you and I.
00:11:18You could never admit that in a million years.
00:11:20Because it's not so.
00:11:21No, you're right.
00:11:22You were too much.
00:11:24Too possessive.
00:11:25Too domineering.
00:11:26Too insensitive.
00:11:27You know me so well.
00:11:28Too stupid.
00:11:29Too desperate.
00:11:30And at the end of it, what have you learned?
00:11:32You still think that she's the one to blame.
00:11:34I gave her everything.
00:11:35And understand nothing.
00:11:37Even now, after all that's happened,
00:11:39the joy she felt you crushed.
00:11:41Any hopes you soured.
00:11:42Did you never wonder why you didn't have children?
00:11:47You thought she was barren.
00:11:49You see her fault again.
00:11:51No, she wasn't barren.
00:11:53She just couldn't bear to have a child of yours squirming inside of her.
00:11:58She made sure of it.
00:12:02There go the shutters.
00:12:04Accepted souls.
00:12:06She's never coming back.
00:12:08She'd rather sell her body to a thousand men than suffer another kiss from you.
00:12:11You know nothing about her.
00:12:12Your friendship with her was a sham.
00:12:13Yes.
00:12:14She stole the love of my life, my future.
00:12:17I should hate her, but the alternative was you.
00:12:21I cannot hate her.
00:12:23I can only wonder how she didn't do it sooner.
00:12:26I didn't mean to panic you, ma'am.
00:12:39It's just, Mr. Soames is always so particular.
00:12:42Never a word out of turn or a hair out of place.
00:12:45How is he?
00:12:47Well, it's like he's past caring.
00:12:58Soames?
00:13:00What is it, darling?
00:13:04Ilsen says you're not well.
00:13:05Are you feverish?
00:13:20Has he taken anything?
00:13:22Selva Latterley?
00:13:23Brandy?
00:13:24What, ma'am?
00:13:31Leave them.
00:13:33But it's so gloomy in here.
00:13:35Leave them.
00:13:36It's Winifred, Selms.
00:13:49They were all asking after you.
00:13:52Imogen, especially.
00:13:55Val's going to write during prep.
00:13:59Ooh.
00:14:05You're honoured.
00:14:07His favourite soldier.
00:14:10To stand guard by your bed.
00:14:16The aunts sent prune brandy.
00:14:19They wanted to come and sit.
00:14:22It's an art, dear, they said.
00:14:25I said to Mama,
00:14:26do we want Soames to pull through
00:14:28or do we want to finish him off completely?
00:14:31So you're stuck with me.
00:14:33Wittering away.
00:14:35If I witter too much, do let on.
00:14:37Give me a punch or something.
00:14:42Oh, Soames.
00:14:45I wish there was something I could say.
00:14:54At last, real roses in those cheeks.
00:15:07How do you fancy living on the river?
00:15:09A fellow I know to get a house in Pudney.
00:15:13I should rather live at Robin Hill.
00:15:15Good Lord, would you?
00:15:17Thought it might be too painful.
00:15:19At least I'd know Phil's wishes were respected.
00:15:21Another buyer might fill the place with chintz painted pink or something.
00:15:26If I thought we could all be a family again and snap it up tomorrow.
00:15:32You are a sweetheart for worrying, Gran.
00:15:35Never did like being an only child, did you?
00:15:40What if Holly and Jolly hate me?
00:15:43Well, if you can't bear it, I'll get you a flat in town.
00:15:47I'm sure we can whip them into shape.
00:15:52I'll make Soames an offer first thing.
00:15:55But if you change your mind...
00:15:58You'll be the first to know.
00:16:02Oh, please, Soames. Just a drop.
00:16:05For me.
00:16:06I'm not a baby.
00:16:08You can't carry on like this.
00:16:10Listen to me.
00:16:15You have to snap out of it.
00:16:17You are young.
00:16:19You can start again.
00:16:21Whatever she did to you, it was dreadful.
00:16:25But it's better to discover it now than when you're in Winifred's shoes,
00:16:29up to your neck in commitments in a house full of children.
00:16:31That would never have happened.
00:16:34I know.
00:16:35But you're not darty.
00:16:36The children.
00:16:38Hmm?
00:16:43She took steps to prevent it.
00:16:46Behind your back?
00:16:49Oh, Soames, that's wicked.
00:16:51What is it?
00:17:05I'm thinking the last time I saw that expression on your face.
00:17:10You were Val's age.
00:17:12Mother.
00:17:13You pestered us for months for that kitten.
00:17:16What was it?
00:17:17Six weeks old?
00:17:20You dressed it like a doll.
00:17:22Fed it till it was sick.
00:17:24And smothered it.
00:17:25I loved it.
00:17:26That's what I thought.
00:17:30I should have whipped you.
00:17:32I should have taught you not to love like that.
00:17:36With all your heart.
00:17:37Mama.
00:17:38Yes.
00:17:40It was my fault.
00:17:43You feel things too much.
00:17:48You always have.
00:17:57Good morning, Mother.
00:17:59Soames?
00:18:01You're up.
00:18:02Shh.
00:18:04You need to rest.
00:18:06Are you going out?
00:18:07I have things to do.
00:18:11Mr. Forsyte.
00:18:12Morning, Bilson.
00:18:13How are you feeling, sir?
00:18:15I'm feeling very well, thank you, Bilson.
00:18:17May I ask what you are doing?
00:18:19I'm changing the bed, sir.
00:18:20You need to know more than the minimum in that room, Bilson.
00:18:21Mrs. Forsyte will not be returning.
00:18:22Don't let me keep you from your work.
00:18:23Very good, sir.
00:18:24Very good, sir.
00:18:28Thank you, Bilson.
00:18:30May I ask what you are doing?
00:18:32I'm changing the bed, sir.
00:18:34You need to know more than the minimum in that room, Bilson.
00:18:37Mrs. Forsyte will not be returning.
00:18:39Don't let me keep you from your work.
00:18:41Very good, sir.
00:18:42I see now why he'd agreed to sell Robin Hill.
00:19:02He'd outgrown the house.
00:19:04Before he'd even moved in.
00:19:06In truth, his fascination was the design.
00:19:09His interest waned once it was constructed.
00:19:12A rich man's toy.
00:19:15Then he can afford to negotiate on price.
00:19:18No.
00:19:19Price as discussed.
00:19:21Those were his instructions.
00:19:22You said it yourself.
00:19:23He's a rich man.
00:19:24That wife of his did her best to correct that.
00:19:27No, I'm sorry, Jolyon.
00:19:29Jolyon?
00:19:31There'll be no more of that.
00:19:32I'll not hear it.
00:19:33You understand?
00:19:34Well, you barely knew her.
00:19:35And the lady's not here to defend herself.
00:19:37The lady was no lady.
00:19:39Madam, that remark was beneath you and beneath contempt.
00:19:42Before you resort to name-calling, you would do well to remember there are two sides to every story.
00:19:48What do you know?
00:19:51Is there something I haven't been told?
00:19:53Emily?
00:19:56Separation, divorce, season on stage entered into lightly.
00:19:59You would understand that more than anyone.
00:20:01I do.
00:20:03And that's why I must insist, if you talk about Irene, you do so with respect.
00:20:08Your son loved her once.
00:20:11A very good cause.
00:20:12Point taken.
00:20:13Good.
00:20:14You will take my point.
00:20:15We will not budge on price.
00:20:16I thought you came here to talk business.
00:20:17Yes.
00:20:18Well, then, do we have a deal?
00:20:19Do you want the house or not?
00:20:20I must do.
00:20:21I'm still here, aren't I?
00:20:22I'm still here, aren't I?
00:20:24Stop them, Alma Beacon.
00:20:28Oh, yeah.
00:20:29So you came here to talk business?
00:20:31Yes.
00:20:32Well, then, do we have a deal?
00:20:34Do you want the house or not?
00:20:37I must do.
00:20:38I'm still here, aren't I?
00:20:50Stop them, Alma Beacon!
00:20:52Oh, there.
00:20:55Robin Hill.
00:20:59Walk on.
00:21:10Williams?
00:21:17Will you ensure these are disposed of?
00:21:20Certainly, sir.
00:21:29June?
00:21:46Is this what you imagined?
00:21:49No.
00:21:50simpler
00:21:53starker
00:21:55I thought I knew his work
00:21:58but this
00:21:59is breathtaking
00:22:02Helen, let me take that
00:22:18it's heavy
00:22:19your father doesn't travel lightly
00:22:22sketchy's enough for two houses

00:22:50just certain looks
00:22:52a laugh
00:22:53a tantrum

00:23:19your job
00:23:19what should we be
00:23:21what should we toast
00:23:21Um, old dogs, new tricks.
00:23:24To new beginnings.
00:23:26New beginnings. New beginnings. New beginnings.
00:23:39Happy birthday, Mama.
00:23:44Your mother loved wildflowers.
00:23:48Don't worry, darling. Your father will soon be back.
00:23:51Into the house, please, Ollie.
00:23:56Wash your hands. You're late.
00:23:58Sorry, ma'am, sir.
00:24:02You disapprove, ma'am, sir?
00:24:04She's just a child.
00:24:06A child who's lost her mother.
00:24:08All the same. I think it is morbid.
00:24:12You'd prefer us to pretend that nothing's happened?
00:24:16It's not the English way.
00:24:19Well, it's not my way, at least.
00:24:21Her father should be looking after her.
00:24:24Oh, I'm too old to look after her, hmm?
00:24:26Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:24:37It's not my way.
00:24:38I'm too old to walk.
00:24:39Stop, I see.
00:24:41It's my own dog.
00:26:13Come on, boy.
00:26:20Come on, boy.
00:26:38Where's your rabbit?
00:26:39Good afternoon.
00:26:51Good afternoon.
00:26:52Forgive the intrusion.
00:26:58This place holds certain memories for me.
00:27:04You're not surprised to see me?
00:27:07Well, I'd heard the house was in safe hands.
00:27:09And I saw you at the opera the other night.
00:27:13Didn't think you'd notice me.
00:27:16I went alone.
00:27:17Pathetic when you think about it.
00:27:19Oh.
00:27:20Not to me.
00:27:21I'm on good terms with solitude.
00:27:26You know, there's all the way.
00:27:29Elaine, that's Jo's wife, she was taken from us a few months ago.
00:27:32Pneumonia.
00:27:33I'm sorry.
00:27:35Jo's away in Spain for June.
00:27:38Painting, recuperating.
00:27:40So it's a bit lonely.
00:27:42Why don't you stay for dinner?
00:27:49I could send you home in the carriage.
00:27:53Yes, that would be very nice.
00:28:00We can be pathetic together.
00:28:02Oh.
00:28:12Decorations are my boy Jo's doing.
00:28:14He's a painter.
00:28:15Got a lot of taste.
00:28:16Not mine.
00:28:18I've got gold.
00:28:19More lively and solid.
00:28:21You're of his school of thought, I could tell.
00:28:25So I like it here.
00:28:27It's quiet.
00:28:30So join them.
00:28:38Yes, I remember.
00:28:44They are entranced by it.
00:28:47This is just the beginning.
00:28:49You're going to be the toast of every dry night in town.
00:28:52Come away with me forever.
00:28:56Must be queer for you.
00:29:02I'll show you up to June's room.
00:29:04Freshen up a little for dinner.
00:29:06Sometimes.
00:29:07Yeah.
00:29:09You know what you think.
00:29:11You've got to put dinner.
00:29:12You've got to get dinner.
00:29:14I've got to remember the dinner.
00:29:16I think it's a little bit more.
00:29:17You've got to remember the dinner.
00:29:18You've got to be there.
00:29:19You've got to be a dinner.
00:29:20I'm sorry I'm not properly dressed.
00:29:43You look a picture.
00:29:50You must excuse me. I'm so used to my own routine, I've almost forgotten what it is to dine in company.
00:30:01There is no other?
00:30:03No one.
00:30:09Where are you living now?
00:30:11I have a little flat in Chelsea.
00:30:13What do you do all day?
00:30:15I teach music and I have another interest though, though it's not the stuff of polite chitchat.
00:30:24Well, I'm too old for that anyway.
00:30:26I try to help women who've come to grieve.
00:30:30To grieve?
00:30:32Ladies of the night.
00:30:34What do you do for them?
00:30:36Not enough.
00:30:38I have no money to spare, but I can offer food and sympathy.
00:30:44No.
00:30:45When Phil died, I was lost.
00:30:56I had money enough to eat, but no will to breathe.
00:31:06I went to the embankment.
00:31:13A woman found me just in time.
00:31:16One of them?
00:31:18Oh, I am one of them, Uncle Jolyon.
00:31:23I don't mean I...
00:31:25I've never been reduced...
00:31:30What I mean is I know what it is to be broken.
00:31:38I don't know what to say.
00:31:41This woman knew nothing of me, but she took me in and sat with me for three days and nights.
00:31:48She had nothing but fed me, listened to me, and I to her.
00:31:55You see, we pretend they are different.
00:31:58We make their lives a secret to make ourselves feel better.
00:32:01They are sometimes sad, sometimes lonely, but never different.
00:32:06I should have kept a polite chit-chat.
00:32:25That's amazing...
00:32:30But we'll see why the whole family ended in August.
00:32:37혹시 listen to me?
00:32:39Here we go.
00:32:41She can't be used for us during this time that we are squaring.
00:32:44It's worth telling ghosts.
00:32:46The one that trusts and folklore is our送 Janus back,
00:32:54perfect this room should be filled with music it feels no what as though it had been waiting for
00:33:11you no really oh oh i'm sorry that was crass of me i'm sorry
00:33:41perfect
00:34:04tell beacon to bring the carriage around in 10 minutes i'm going to london
00:34:07these boots have given up the ghost
00:34:19beacon take a detour with you to where you took that lady the other night
00:34:23chelsea there you saw yes a chelsea lady
00:34:37so
00:34:49I was passing by. I needed some new boots.
00:35:07Thought I'd pop in and ask about your drive home the other night.
00:35:11It was perfectly agreeable.
00:35:13Splendid. So you'd give my driver another chance?
00:35:16Well, pop your head on. We'll go out for a drive in the park.
00:35:23Yes.
00:35:32Has June forgiven me, Uncle Jolion?
00:35:34Of course.
00:35:36You have told her in your letters of our meeting.
00:35:40Then she has not.
00:35:43Well, if I haven't asked, I had no cause to now.
00:35:48And you?
00:35:50Well, I forgave you as soon as I saw how the land really lay.
00:35:56I've never regretted.
00:35:59I couldn't.
00:36:01Did you ever love very deeply?
00:36:05I've longed the tooth to be talking about love.
00:36:10No, Phil didn't think so.
00:36:12He thought you had one of those hearts which never grow older.
00:36:16He used to say you have a real sense of beauty.
00:36:20Why else am I here with you?
00:36:22You have lifted my spirits.
00:36:27Oh, really?
00:36:28Come to lunch on Wednesday.
00:36:29I'll meet you from the train.
00:36:30I'd love to.
00:36:34Good day, sir.
00:36:36Capital, private capital.
00:36:37Shall I take the boots, sir?

00:44:44Good night, darling.
00:44:53Who was that?
00:44:55Fascinating chap.
00:44:56You'd have liked him.
00:44:57I'm a pretty host.
00:45:10There'll be other commons.
00:45:13It's you I come to see.
00:45:14Farf is an old woman.
00:45:16She's always fuzzy.
00:45:17Shall we eat?
00:45:25Are you sure you're all right?
00:45:41Fit as a flea.
00:45:43Drunken flea, maybe.
00:45:47Perhaps you should lie down.
00:45:49Nonsense.
00:45:50What I need is perking up.
00:45:51Good food.
00:45:52Fine wine.
00:45:54And a beautiful companion.
00:45:56Promise me you'll go straight to bed.
00:46:02No late night reading.
00:46:04You're as bad as Parfit.
00:46:06Treat me like an invalid.
00:46:07I wouldn't dare.
00:46:09I had a postcard this morning.
00:46:15June and Joe are expected home on Friday.
00:46:17Holly's full of beans.
00:46:18Wants to play for them the moment they return.
00:46:21Expect a demanding pupil when you come tomorrow.
00:46:23For Elise.
00:46:26When?
00:46:27For Elise.
00:46:27It's by far and away her best piece.
00:46:30Good.
00:46:30Well, she doesn't have a head start in the morning.
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:33Sleep well.
00:46:35Goodbye, Uncle Julian.
00:46:53Goodbye, Uncle Julian.
00:47:24Mrs. Heron wasn't there, sir.
00:47:26Beacon waited.
00:47:28Oh.
00:47:30Well, she sometimes takes an earlier train.
00:47:34Thank you, Parfit.
00:47:36Sir.
00:47:53Thank you, Parfit.
00:48:06Thank you, Parfit.
00:49:08Wait till Daddy sees. I can almost play it by ear.
00:49:12Well done, Holly. It's marvellous. Marvellous.
00:49:16You do think I'll be ready by tomorrow?
00:49:20What?
00:49:22Oh, you're almost note-perfect now.
00:49:25Oh, you're almost note-perfect now.
00:49:38Oh, you're almost note-perfect now.
00:49:42I don't wonder that dog is so fat.
00:50:00I really...
00:50:01I've come to say I'm sorry.
00:50:04It was a cowardly thing to do.
00:50:06Doesn't matter. You're here.
00:50:08Sit down.
00:50:10I'll go and tell Palfrey there'll be one more for dinner.
00:50:14No.
00:50:15No.
00:50:16I think...
00:50:17I think you should sit down.
00:50:20You look quite flushed.
00:50:21It's nothing.
00:50:23Warm weather.
00:50:24Doesn't suit me.
00:50:25I'm an impatient old devil.
00:50:32You've been thinking of June, I know, but...
00:50:35I've had a lot of time to think myself.
00:50:38There must be a way
00:50:42of leaving the past where it is.
00:50:45For Holly's sake, if not for mine.
00:50:48You are an impatient old devil.
00:50:50Wouldn't be at my age.
00:50:53My heart's full, Irene.
00:50:55And if you never come again, so be it.
00:50:58But there are things I must say.
00:51:03Do you have to?
00:51:05Do we not understand each other?
00:51:06Enough to know I don't need to be protected from myself.
00:51:11You're a jewel.
00:51:15You brought me laughter
00:51:16and joy.
00:51:20And instead of feeling satisfied,
00:51:22you've made me hungry for more.
00:51:26And I despair that I wasn't born later.
00:51:30And I thank you.
00:51:32I've done nothing.
00:51:33You have.
00:51:34You've seen me.
00:51:38Not the wrinkles and the stoop in here.
00:51:43What's inside?
00:51:46You've changed everything.
00:51:50And I can't be discreased anymore.
00:51:52I can't shuffle meekly towards my death.
00:52:01Uncle Jolion.
00:52:04You have given me much more than I have ever given you.
00:52:09Then stay.
00:52:10I have missed you.
00:52:18Now, let me go and speak with Parfait.
00:52:25You tell him we want some champagne.
00:52:27Mm-hmm.
00:52:43Mm.
00:52:43No.
00:52:44No.
00:52:44I don't know.
00:52:45No.
00:52:47No.
00:52:51No.
00:52:52No.
00:52:53No.
00:52:53No.
00:52:54No.
00:53:55I will sit with her now.
00:54:11No, don't go.
00:54:13I can stay.
00:54:20The ship docks at ten.
00:54:42Tomorrow night?
00:54:44No, morning.
00:54:47Means I'll have to break the news.
00:54:50Miss June will be desolate.
00:54:51Mrs. Herron?
00:54:56She is asleep at last.
00:54:59We've kept some dinner for you, ma'am.
00:55:02And Anne has aired the guest room.
00:55:05Young Mr. Jolian and Miss June are due back in the morning.
00:55:07No, I cannot trouble you.
00:55:10I'm sorry.
00:55:11It's no trouble, ma'am.
00:55:12I have appointments to keep.
00:55:14I must get home tonight.
00:55:19Beacon will be with you directly, ma'am.
00:55:23Sad day.
00:55:24Yes.
00:55:28Yes, it is indeed.
00:55:30For all of us.
00:55:31I can't.
00:55:32What?
00:55:33Let's go.
00:55:34It's okay.
00:55:35What?
00:55:36Let's go.
00:55:37Let's go.
00:55:37Let's go.
00:55:38Let's go.
00:55:40Let's go.
00:56:12If we'd had any idea, we should never have gone away.
00:56:27Never.
00:56:30Was he in pain?
00:56:32He didn't seem to be, sir.
00:56:35It was most unexpected.
00:56:37He was not in pain, no.
00:56:40But he was agitated.
00:56:42He was often thus when Mrs. Heron came.
00:56:46Mrs. Heron?
00:56:48The lovely lady.
00:56:51Mrs. Irene Heron.
00:56:54She came to give piano lessons
00:56:56and stayed to dinner.
00:56:58Often.
00:56:59Mrs. Heron!
00:57:13Jolyon?
00:57:14Mm-hmm.
00:57:22Sorry.
00:57:25I've just got back from the solicitors.
00:57:27Oh.
00:57:29Heirlooms.
00:57:35You're my grandfather's.
00:57:39Sign he'd finally arrived.
00:57:44And Gran left them to you.
00:57:48I suppose this means that I've finally arrived.
00:57:58There is another bequest, one that I wasn't expecting.
00:58:02He left 15,000 pounds to Irene.
00:58:11She works fast.
00:58:12How long were we gone?
00:58:13Three months?
00:58:13I'm sure she didn't set out.
00:58:14Oh, Irene never sets out.
00:58:17Things just fall into her lap, time after time.
00:58:20June.
00:58:21Thank you for the warning.
00:58:27Does this mean that she'll be at the funeral?
00:58:29No.
00:58:31It's something to be thankful for, at least.
00:58:39Fear no more the heat of the sun, nor the furious winter's rages.
00:58:44Fear no more to clothe and eat.
00:58:46To thee the reed is as the oak.
00:58:48To thee the reed is as the oak.
00:58:49The sceptre, learning, physic must all follow this and come to dust.
00:58:54Fear no more the lightning flash, nor the all dreaded thunderstone.
00:58:56Fear no more the lightning flash, nor the all dreaded thunderstone.
00:59:01Fear not slander, sense your rash.
00:59:02Thou hast finished joy and moan.
00:59:04All love is young.
00:59:05All love is young.
00:59:06All love is must.
00:59:07To thee the reed is as the oak.
00:59:09No more to clothe and eat.
00:59:10To thee the reed is as the oak.
00:59:12The sceptre, learning, physic must all follow this and come to dust.
00:59:14Fear no more the lightning flash, nor the all dreaded thunderstone.
00:59:16Fear not slander, sense your rash.
00:59:17Thou hast finished joy and moan.
00:59:18All love is young.
00:59:19All love is must consign to thee to come to dust.
00:59:22Walls of ebony and magnolia are illumined in a grand
00:59:33god.
00:59:34The hall, knowing, ecstre of哇gutus, of the all dreaded thunderstone.
00:59:36Fear not slander, sense your rash.
00:59:38Thou hast finished joy and moan.
00:59:42All love is young.
00:59:44All love is must consign to thee to come to dust.
00:59:47The hall, be my wife and me.
00:59:50Ebony and Magnolia, illuminations by electricity.
00:59:53Let me guess, you're taking mental notes.
00:59:55Under instruction from the aunts.
00:59:58They've been desperate to see this place for years.
01:00:00They should have graced us with their presence, then.
01:00:02It's more than a mile from High Park.
01:00:04And Hester gets palpitations.
01:00:06Besides, the reality never lives up to the description.
01:00:09Who taught you that?
01:00:10Darty?
01:00:10What?
01:00:12Nothing, dear.
01:00:13So, this is what all the fuss was about.
01:00:15Gosh.
01:00:17What do you think?
01:00:18A plane reminds me of a prison.
01:00:20No, no, you'd know.
01:00:21Original, I suppose.
01:00:22The old buccaneer.
01:00:23Good of you to say so.
01:00:27My condolences, Jolie.
01:00:29We appreciate your coming.
01:00:32Seems we only have a meet at funerals.
01:00:35Mercifully.
01:00:41I'm so sorry, Jolie, and you must be devastated.
01:00:44I just wish we could have been here.
01:00:47One always feels one could have done more.
01:00:50You were reconciled, at least.
01:00:52That's some consternation.
01:00:55But it feels like the end of an era.
01:00:57It is.
01:00:58First foresight to be buried in a plot other than the families.
01:01:02Well, I say plot.
01:01:03More like a scrubby piece of field.
01:01:06Flowers anywhere.
01:01:08Weeds, probably.
01:01:09Where's the dignity in that?
01:01:11You've heard about the will, I suppose.
01:01:12Yes.
01:01:13Fifteen thousand to try beanie.
01:01:15I know.
01:01:16Typical, isn't it?
01:01:18Oh, June.
01:01:19Hello.
01:01:20Typical of what?
01:01:22Of Gran, to remember the underdog.
01:01:25Irene may be persona non grata in some circles.
01:01:28In some circles.
01:01:29But she is, strictly speaking, still a foresight.
01:01:32And she was very good to Gran at the end.
01:01:34While you were away?
01:01:36Yes.
01:01:37Excuse me.
01:01:38The question is, who is going to tell Soames?
01:01:48Shh.
01:01:48I think he probably knows.
01:01:50Hmm.
01:01:51Why her, I wonder?
01:01:54Jolion hardly knew her.
01:01:56Hmm.
01:01:57Did you know?
01:01:58What?
01:01:58Why Jolion left all that money to Irene...
01:02:01What's her name now?
01:02:02Irene Heron?
01:02:03Oh, come on, James.
01:02:04Use your imagination.
01:02:08Excuse me.
01:02:09Ahem.
01:02:11Excuse me.
01:02:14Uh, thank you for coming, all of you.
01:02:18For paying your respects.
01:02:20Some people retreat as they get older.
01:02:24Not Dad.
01:02:26He grew better with age.
01:02:28His horizons broadened.
01:02:31He became more flexible.
01:02:34More compassionate.
01:02:35He accepted that different people might want to live their lives in different ways.
01:02:44He was a man of honesty, bravery, conviction.
01:02:51Never afraid to apologize.
01:02:55Never afraid to love.
01:02:57He stood for everything that was great about the Forsyte name.
01:03:03Yeah, yeah.
01:03:06I grew up, as many of you did, trying, failing, to follow in his footsteps.
01:03:16I see no reason to stop trying now.
01:03:24Um...
01:03:25I ask you to raise your glasses.
01:03:29To Jolian Forsyte.
01:03:41Jolian Forsyte.
01:03:44Jolian Forsyte.
01:03:44Jolian Forsyte.
01:03:45I meant what I said this afternoon.
01:04:03We don't breed men like Dad anymore.
01:04:05We're just full of doubt now and apologetic and smaller.
01:04:17But the world's a more complicated place.
01:04:19If you could turn back the clock, change one thing, what would it be?
01:04:40It'd be silly, I suppose.
01:04:42I don't know.
01:04:45I can't answer that.
01:04:51Gran had a long life.
01:04:53But I wish...
01:04:56I wish I'd had a chance to thank him.
01:05:00There'd be mine.
01:05:05He did know, didn't he?
01:05:07He didn't think that we'd stop loving him.
01:05:09We weren't here to tell him.
01:05:17I don't care if I sound self-pitying.
01:05:20Blame it on the brandy.
01:05:23There's something ironic, isn't there?
01:05:26That all the people I love...
01:05:28really love...
01:05:31all gravitate to her in the end.
01:05:35And they always love Irene more.
01:05:39It does sound self-pitying.
01:05:50He could never have loved anyone more than you.
01:05:54Myself included.
01:05:56He said so many times.
01:06:00You were his second chance.
01:06:01The light of his life.
01:06:03The beat of his heart.
01:06:16Had he discussed the will?
01:06:17I think he knew his time was running out, but no.
01:06:26And then this was, uh...
01:06:28this was quite a shock.
01:06:30Yes.
01:06:31The money.
01:06:32Yes.
01:06:32But...
01:06:33not the gesture.
01:06:34How was he?
01:06:42In the end?
01:06:43In the very end?
01:06:44Happy.
01:06:48Pissot?
01:06:50No.
01:06:51Huh?
01:06:52No, he...
01:06:53he was...
01:06:54too greedy for life.
01:06:57He said his heart was full.
01:06:58He shared some of his thoughts with me.
01:07:06If I'd known we had so little time,
01:07:08I would have been freer with mine.
01:07:11It's my only regret.
01:07:17He blessed my world, Jolion.
01:07:20As you bless his.
01:07:22He goes on blessing it now.
01:07:27I can imagine.
01:07:49I'm sorry.
01:07:52I don't know where that came from.
01:08:03Don't apologize, please.
01:08:15Thank you for being there.
01:08:22I don't know where that came from.
01:08:23I don't know where that came from.
01:08:32Think very carefully, Soames, before you try to bully her.
01:08:35She's not alone this time.
01:08:36Why could you not have made me a good wife?
01:08:41I went to see her.
01:08:42I found someone who has suffered just as much.
01:08:45Too proud to admit her mistakes,
01:08:46but someone who, if she would only stop fighting her,
01:08:48would make the perfect mother for my children.
01:08:49You can set your own conditions.
01:08:51Keep your own company.
01:08:53Anything.
01:08:53Just give me a son.
01:08:54I would sooner die!
01:08:56Life is a dance we must learn.
01:09:04Into the night we will turn.
01:09:08Time holds the secrets of our song.
01:09:12Moments are given, then gone.
01:09:16Come have this dance with me, darling.
01:09:21I'll hold you tight till the dawn.
01:09:25Let the night see how I love you,
01:09:29so the moon can tell the sun.
01:09:34So the moon can tell the sun.
01:09:37The moon can tell the sun.
