00:00:01The Forsythes, a family who had everything, money, power, property, to be held on to at all costs.
00:00:12Of all people, it's souls who should carry on the family name.
00:00:18My father was the only Forsyth to turn his back on money.
00:00:23He chose freedom and love.
00:00:26Frances, is there love between us? Is there passion?
00:00:31We have a daughter.
00:00:33But you all do well. You are an excellent mother.
00:00:36Do you intend to leave her too?
00:00:38While my father was following his heart, Soames was acquiring a wife.
00:00:45Miss Heron, I have substantial income and I'm currently looking for a commodious house in the region of Hyde Park.
00:00:51I have the honour, Miss Heron, I'm asking you for your hand in marriage.
00:00:53I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I cannot accept.
00:00:58This is madness.
00:00:58No, this is poverty. It's what you've brought us to.
00:01:01We are not this poor.
00:01:03I'm not prepared to support you for another year.
00:01:05If you won't marry, then you must take employment.
00:01:07What employment can I take?
00:01:09Then you shouldn't marry. It's an exceptional offer.
00:01:13I could never love him.
00:01:14You do not know that.
00:01:15If I were to marry you, Mr. Forsyte, would you promise me one thing?
00:01:24If our marriage is not a success, then I shall be as free as if I had never married you.
00:01:31If we were to marry, then it would be a success.
00:01:34You swear it?
00:01:35I do solemnly swear it.
00:01:38Quite a catch for a man of property.
00:01:41Soames couldn't keep her, of course.
00:01:43She was flesh and blood, and she despised him.
00:01:48My father, now a widower, stepped in as her protector and friend.
00:01:54If he is desperate to have a son, no one, not even the law, can prevent him from demanding his rights.
00:02:02I cannot force you.
00:02:04Force me is exactly what he did.
00:02:10She is my wife, Irene Forsyte, and I'll thank you to leave her alone from now on.
00:02:15Think very carefully, Soames, before you try to bully her.
00:02:19She's not alone this time.
00:02:21You should have kept your promise and let me go, and instead you have suffocated me.
00:02:28Children, you're a son!
00:02:32It's an utter degradation.
00:02:33I know what you're up to, you and Julian Forsyte!
00:02:44The battle lines were drawn, but with the younger Forsyte came the hope of reconciliation.
00:02:50Soames' nephew, Val, fell in love with my half-sister, Holly.
00:02:54I'm married.
00:02:56What?
00:02:56What to?
00:02:57I mean, who to?
00:02:58To Holly Forsyte, my uncle Julian's daughter.
00:03:01You shouldn't have done it.
00:03:05You don't understand that that family that...
00:03:08Belter?
00:03:08There's a history.
00:03:10Six of four, no takers.
00:03:12A history which threatens the next generation.
00:03:15To Mr. and Mrs. Julian Forsyte, a son of Robin Hill.
00:03:20Irene has had a son.
00:03:22John.
00:03:22Annette is happily anticipating an event herself.
00:03:32Oh.
00:03:33He has to be a boy.
00:03:38Well?
00:03:39The daughter.
00:03:44A petite Fleur.
00:03:47Fleur.
00:03:48We'll call her Fleur.
00:03:53Fleur and John.
00:03:56New hope?
00:03:57Or will their lives be blighted by the past?
00:04:01This is their story.
00:04:02Is that the last of it, boss?
00:04:15Yes, sir.
00:04:17Is Mrs. Forsyte ready?
00:04:19Nearly, sir.
00:04:21Send my best to Miss Hester, sir.
00:04:23Eighty today.
00:04:25Put him in the car, Williams.
00:04:29I'm going to be late.
00:04:30What is Mrs. Forsyte doing?
00:04:41Ow!
00:04:43I wanted to wear my party dress.
00:04:46It's afternoon tea.
00:04:49The dress is far too formal.
00:04:51I wanted to.
00:04:52Sometimes we cannot do everything we want.
00:05:02Daddy?
00:05:03Fleur?
00:05:04Daddy!
00:05:05Daddy!
00:05:07Yeah?
00:05:08Daddy!
00:05:09What's the matter?
00:05:10I'm wearing silly blue and I know a wool crumple.
00:05:13And Aunt Hester loves me ever so in white.
00:05:15Calm yourself, my love.
00:05:16I thought my satin?
00:05:18The blue muslin is much more suitable.
00:05:20The satin.
00:05:35Why not?
00:05:39Artynes, right away!
00:05:40Help me, Bilson!
00:05:41I love you, Daddy.
00:06:11We deserve the right to vote, to be heard as a part of the universal voice of mankind.
00:06:30We do not deserve to be imprisoned without representation, force-fed like animals, tubes
00:06:41thrust down our innocent throats.
00:06:46Bravo!
00:06:48Bravo!
00:06:59What do you think, John?
00:07:01All those ladies, shouting.
00:07:04Can you bear one more, lady?
00:07:06I'm going to finish up here, and then we'll visit my aunt.
00:07:09As long as she's not a shout-er.
00:07:12John?
00:07:13Doesn't it fantastic?
00:07:16Oh, she's a jolly good fellow.
00:07:20Oh, she's a jolly good fellow.
00:07:23Oh, she's a jolly good fellow.
00:07:28And still say all of us.
00:07:31Oh, my dear.
00:07:32Come and blow the candles out.
00:07:34You do it, Fleur.
00:07:39Oh, well done!
00:07:45Let's get this cut, shall we?
00:07:47I can think of more profitable ways of spending my afternoon.
00:07:50Of course, the old girl has money to leave.
00:07:52Stacks of it.
00:07:54Do you think Winifred's in with the chance?
00:07:56No.
00:07:57We'll go to that pocket show.
00:08:00June!
00:08:01Darty.
00:08:02George.
00:08:03Been roped into the family, do?
00:08:06Do?
00:08:07Nesta's birthday.
00:08:08Must be away with the fairies if she's invited you.
00:08:13I mean, it's not you.
00:08:14You know, it's a family feud and all that.
00:08:16She hasn't invited me.
00:08:17I was in London and I thought I'd drop in.
00:08:19Oh.
00:08:20It would be very nice to see everyone.
00:08:22And what a perfect opportunity for them all to meet John.
00:08:25John?
00:08:28Irene and father's boy, you know.
00:08:34Aunt Hester, apologies for the tiredness.
00:08:36Oh, George!
00:08:37How kind.
00:08:39Nice to see you, sir.
00:08:40Aunt Hester.
00:08:41Come on to you.
00:08:42Thank you, my dear, thank you.
00:08:44What?
00:08:45Any entertainment planned for this afternoon?
00:08:48What do you mean?
00:08:50Fireworks, perhaps?
00:08:51I will tell them you're here, Miss Forsyte.
00:08:53No need.
00:09:00Aunt Hester.
00:09:01It's your birthday.
00:09:02I should have remembered.
00:09:03June, my dear, how lovely to see you.
00:09:06We didn't think...
00:09:09I was at a meeting in Acton.
00:09:11Acton?
00:09:12It's quite close.
00:09:13The bus took hardly any time.
00:09:15The bus?
00:09:16This terrible injustice of force-feeding our women in prison.
00:09:19We have to protest against it.
00:09:22Hello, Sam's.
00:09:24June?
00:09:25What are the authorities expected to do?
00:09:27Simply stand by and let these hysterical women starve?
00:09:30It's a point of principle.
00:09:32I rather admire it.
00:09:34I'm sad if you start marching on...
00:09:36What will you do?
00:09:37Lock me up?
00:09:39I'm Soames's wife, Alette.
00:09:44Delighted to meet you.
00:09:48And this is my half-brother, John.
00:09:55Irene's son.
00:09:58He has her looks.
00:10:00Her eyes.
00:10:01Let's go into the garden.
00:10:02Come on.
00:10:03This way.
00:10:04It's a jolly nice garden.
00:10:05We'll find lots to play with.
00:10:06Come on.
00:10:07This way.
00:10:08It's a jolly nice garden.
00:10:09We'll find lots to play with.
00:10:10Come on.
00:10:11This way.
00:10:12It's a jolly nice garden.
00:10:13It's a jolly nice garden.
00:10:14We'll find lots to play with.
00:10:15Come on.
00:10:16This way.
00:10:18My little baby don't say a word.
00:10:22Daddy's going to buy you a mockingbird.
00:10:26If that mockingbird don't say,
00:10:30Daddy's going to buy you a diamond ring.
00:10:33Oh.
00:10:43Got you.
00:10:44Can't do that.
00:10:46What should I do, then?
00:10:47Tickle them.
00:11:00Come on, then.
00:11:01My dress.
00:11:02It's a bowser.
00:11:11What next?
00:11:12I'm going to catch him.
00:11:13No.
00:11:15Here he is.
00:11:17No.
00:11:18I'm going after John.
00:11:19Are you all right?
00:11:32Fine.
00:11:33Some cake?
00:11:34No, thank you.
00:11:35More tea.
00:11:36No.
00:11:37Where's Fleur?
00:11:38Fats!
00:11:39Vash!
00:11:55Vash!
00:11:59Daddy?
00:12:05Come and see these fish. They're as big as sharks.
00:12:07Don't touch me.
00:12:09John!
00:12:10Inside.
00:12:11But...
00:12:12Now!
00:12:13Get that boy out of here.
00:12:14They were just playing.
00:12:15I don't want him anywhere near my daughter.
00:12:16For goodness sake.
00:12:18He's the result of a filthy liaison.
00:12:21Illegitimate in all but name.
00:12:23He's a dirty, savage little...
00:12:26That's enough.
00:12:28Soames, he's a child.
00:12:29Yes.
00:12:30And he's a great deal better behaved than you.
00:12:32Come on, John.
00:12:37What did I do wrong?
00:12:40Nothing.
00:12:41That man!
00:12:42He was so...
00:12:43We shan't talk of it.
00:12:45And we shan't talk of it to mother or dad either when they come home tomorrow.
00:12:50It'll be our secret.
00:12:51Hmm?
00:12:52Hmm?
00:12:53Hmm?
00:12:54Hmm?
00:12:55Hmm?
00:12:56And we shan't talk of it to mother or dad either when they come home tomorrow.
00:13:00It'll be our secret.
00:13:01Hmm?
00:13:02Mm?
00:13:06There he is.
00:13:08...
00:13:09Where are you?
00:13:11All this fun?
00:13:13Oh!
00:13:14It's OK, must've been heard.
00:13:16So...
00:13:17...
00:13:19Home.
00:13:33It's always such a joy to come back.
00:13:37Must be tired.
00:13:38No, no, just longing to see her.
00:13:46Here they are, I told you I heard of Mark.
00:13:49John!
00:13:51John!
00:13:55Look at your face!
00:13:57Look at you!
00:13:58You've been my watercolour.
00:14:00They're still wet!
00:14:02How are you?
00:14:03Hello.
00:14:05How was it?
00:14:06Good to talk.
00:14:07How are you?
00:14:08Very well, thank you. We've had lots of fun.
00:14:10Yes, it looks like it.
00:14:11Cowboys.
00:14:19I saw one like this in London.
00:14:21London?
00:14:23We went to a rally.
00:14:25I helped decorate the banner.
00:14:27Then on to the aunt.
00:14:28Oh.
00:14:29Which...
00:14:30Whose aunt?
00:14:31We dropped in on Hester.
00:14:35It was fun.
00:14:36Until the man got so angry.
00:14:37What did he do?
00:14:38He shouted.
00:14:39At me.
00:14:41Oh, come on, Orchard.
00:14:42Let's see how she runs in the gallery.
00:14:43Like a bird, I bet!
00:14:44I didn't think Soames would be there.
00:14:47What did he do to John?
00:14:48Nothing.
00:14:49He upset him.
00:14:50I took him away.
00:14:51He shouldn't have been there in the first place.
00:14:52Is everything all right here?
00:14:53I'm going back to London.
00:14:54No, no, you were staying for summer.
00:14:55I was going to be at me.
00:14:56I was going to be at me.
00:14:57Come on, Orchard.
00:14:58I'm going to be at me.
00:14:59Come on, Orchard.
00:15:00Let's see how she runs in the gallery.
00:15:01Like a bird, I bet!
00:15:02I didn't think Soames would be there.
00:15:03What did he do to John?
00:15:04Nothing.
00:15:05He upset him.
00:15:06I took him away.
00:15:07He shouldn't have been there in the first place.
00:15:10Everything all right here?
00:15:12I'm going back to London.
00:15:14No, no.
00:15:15You were staying for supper.
00:15:17You don't want me.
00:15:18June, we love you.
00:15:19It's all we couldn't do without you.
00:15:22Let's just forget this ever happened.
00:15:26Then perhaps John will too.
00:15:45Let's check the manual while he fails.
00:15:46That's it.
00:15:47That's it.
00:15:48Let's take a while.
00:15:49Let's stop.
00:15:50Let's do it.
00:15:51We leave.
00:15:52Hands right now.
00:15:53Go, go.
00:15:59What's up, honey?
00:16:01What's up, honey?
00:16:23What's up, honey?
00:16:30Blair? You there?
00:16:33Daddy, just sit down. I'll be out in a minute. I think you'll love it.
00:16:54What do you think?
00:17:01The neckline's rather low.
00:17:03It is the fashion, sir.
00:17:05The fashion?
00:17:08Is it the fashion to have beggars in the streets?
00:17:11Women riding a stride down the row?
00:17:14There's nothing wrong with riding a stride.
00:17:16In my book, there's a great deal wrong with it.
00:17:20Gentlemen used to ride in Hyde Park.
00:17:23Cavalry seats.
00:17:26White top hats.
00:17:28The walls changed everything.
00:17:31It's all right, Daddy.
00:17:34And that's for girls like short skirts and common airs.
00:17:38Don't you like the dress?
00:17:40Because if you don't, I shan't wear it.
00:17:43I worry about you.
00:17:45There's no need.
00:17:46Parties all night, up till dawn.
00:17:49I'm quite capable of looking after myself.
00:17:52I'm not going to do anything silly.
00:17:54These parties are just playing.
00:17:56Doing what's required.
00:17:59Yours won't be.
00:18:01Mine has a fighting chance because you're organising it.
00:18:04Are you lunching with anyone?
00:18:07No.
00:18:09Let's go to Fortnum's and eat cake.
00:18:19Who are they?
00:18:20Can't you see, Dad?
00:18:22It's Cupid and Psyche, of course.
00:18:26Of course. Thank you, John.
00:18:28Vospovich is an innovator.
00:18:31He escaped from Russia in 1916.
00:18:34Bring them in, John.
00:18:37One, two, three.
00:18:39Careful.
00:18:40She's not paying me, you know.
00:18:41She's not paying me, you know.
00:18:48Bit to your left.
00:18:52Perfect.
00:18:53I know it's the new thing, but...
00:19:03Oh, crikey.
00:19:05Great lovers of mythology.
00:19:08And this is how he represents them.
00:19:11People are bored with sentiment.
00:19:15Love has been bombed as smithereens.
00:19:18What does it mean anymore?
00:19:23Everything.
00:19:25It still means everything.
00:19:40Oh, my goodness.
00:19:43Oh, my goodness.
00:19:45It's a boom bar.
00:19:54Julian.
00:19:56Charles.
00:19:58You didn't walk.
00:20:00Traffic seems to have doubled, so far.
00:20:04How's Irene?
00:20:06Well.
00:20:08And John?
00:20:09Just down from school.
00:20:11Doesn't know what he wants to do.
00:20:13Like all of us were at that age.
00:20:16Whew.
00:20:31So.
00:20:33Palpitations, you say?
00:20:35If I exert myself.
00:20:37Where?
00:20:40And all they're happening now.
00:20:42Feels like the blessed thing is trying to jump out of my chest.
00:20:49Let's check you over, shall we?
00:20:54You were right to come and see me.
00:20:56Your pulse is fluttering.
00:20:58But I'm most concerned about your blood pressure.
00:20:59It's high.
00:21:01Very.
00:21:03I can give you some pills, but...
00:21:06But what?
00:21:10I'm afraid you're in a bad way, old chap.
00:21:11I'm afraid you're in a bad way, old chap.
00:21:22You must look after yourself.
00:21:24Change your routine.
00:21:26No physical exertion.
00:21:28No physical exertion whatsoever.
00:21:32And I want to see you regularly, of course.
00:21:34Proper diet's essential.
00:21:37Irene should read up on it.
00:21:40I can't tell her.
00:21:41I can't tell her.
00:21:46You must.
00:21:47You must.
00:21:51Let's see if I can get my wife to do it.
00:21:53Come on, Holly.
00:21:54Let's see if I can get my wife.
00:22:04Come on, Holly.
00:22:14Oh, release!
00:22:17Poor old man.
00:22:19Hey, not so much of the old, Holly.
00:22:22Go round, go round.
00:22:25Well, you, I'd like to dance.
00:22:32Come on, then, you have to come and dance.
00:22:34Yes!
00:22:35You have to show me.
00:22:36Ready?
00:22:37Oh, my word!
00:22:41OK, let's do something a bit slow.
00:22:49OK, let's go round one.
00:22:51Oh!
00:22:51Oh!
00:22:52Oh!
00:22:54Well done!
00:23:02Bravo!
00:23:06Oh, Dad!
00:23:08Hello, Holly.
00:23:09Now, don't tell me.
00:23:10Now you're going to be a jazz pianist.
00:23:13There are worse things.
00:23:15Working in June's gallery, for one.
00:23:16What was it like?
00:23:17Oh.
00:23:19It's the future.
00:23:20God help me.
00:23:20Ah!
00:23:21Well, I hope you were nice, Dad.
00:23:23The gallery means an awful lot to June.
00:23:27I was honest.
00:23:28Ah.
00:23:28Well, well, we have been concocting the plan.
00:23:32Yes.
00:23:33Um, I am going to be a farmer.
00:23:37Ah-ha!
00:23:38Lord.
00:23:38Arrable farm near our new place.
00:23:42A chap called Maple.
00:23:43Needs extra hands for the harvest.
00:23:44I can't keep you out of trouble, I suppose.
00:23:50Ah!
00:23:50Getting away from you lot, I suppose.
00:23:52The sooner the better.
00:23:53Ah-ha!
00:23:56Well, don't stop dancing!
00:23:57I have to remind you of buying the title to bid on behalf of the owner until the reserve is reached.
00:24:05Lots of 24 and 63 have been withdrawn.
00:24:09I hope you will all bid generously on behalf of this worthy charity.
00:24:14And without further ado, there's no proceed to lots...
00:24:17It's just started.
00:24:19A pair of lovely Derby stories donated by Lady Heath, in memory of Captain John Heath, lost at Planders.
00:24:28Philip William Heath, lost at the Somme.
00:24:32Lot 429.
00:24:35A copy of Degas' Girl at the Milliners.
00:24:39Who will give me £20 for Mrs. Lewisham's generous offering?
00:24:42£20 anywhere.
00:24:44£20, gentlemen in the Homburg.
00:24:46£25.
00:24:46£25, gentlemen at the top table.
00:24:49£30.
00:24:50£30 bid.
00:24:51£35.
00:24:52£35.
00:24:53£40.
00:24:55£40 to the Homburg.
00:25:00£50.
00:25:01£50, new bidder.
00:25:03We have £50, ladies and gentlemen.
00:25:05And may I remind you that every shilling made tonight is going to the War Widows.
00:25:10£55.
00:25:12£55.
00:25:12£55.
00:25:12£70.
00:25:17£70.
00:25:18£80.
00:25:20£80.
00:25:21£100.
00:25:23£100.
00:25:23We have £100.
00:25:25£100.
00:25:29Was that your final offer, sir?
00:25:32Then I'm selling it.
00:25:35Sold.
00:25:35£100.
00:25:35She looks like a mince.
00:25:54She looks like my daughter.
00:25:55By Jove, what a face.
00:25:58Degas, remarkable, even though it's a coffee.
00:26:01Michael Mont.
00:26:05Soames Fawcite.
00:26:08Why did you want her?
00:26:10The life in her.
00:26:11I have, uh, an original Degas, if you'd like to see that.
00:26:22And a few others you might recognise.
00:26:25Well, that's awfully kind of you, sir.
00:26:26I'll drop in like a bird.
00:26:27Anything modern.
00:26:29Expressionism's not my thing.
00:26:31But you're a collector.
00:26:32We now have a figure for the total amount raised this evening.
00:26:37Um, Mr. Mont, if you could come forward, please.
00:26:41There's a new gallery just opened on Cork Street.
00:26:42Meant to be very rum.
00:26:43You should sniff it out.
00:26:46A warm hand, please,
00:26:48for the man who's organised this whole event.
00:27:25Thank you so much.
00:27:38No one can guess who I am, Daddy.
00:27:43Come on.
00:27:44It's obvious.
00:27:49Mercury.
00:27:51Messenger to the gods.
00:27:54Volatile, light-hearted, and...
00:27:56rather mischievous.
00:27:58Well done, Thome.
00:28:00Shall we go through?
00:28:03The boring Surrey lot.
00:28:04Where does nothing other find them?
00:28:06Mm-hm.
00:28:06Are you joining us, Fleur?
00:28:23And would you prefer the nurse, are you?
00:28:25Your friends enjoyed themselves?
00:28:30I want to put Fleur over my knee.
00:28:38It was a joke.
00:28:51She's capricious.
00:28:52A little restive, perhaps.
00:28:55A little restive, perhaps.
00:29:02She and I will go to London.
00:29:04Take in some galleries.
00:29:05You're ruining her, and you can't even see it.
00:29:10She needs someone to say no to her.
00:29:16You could influence her if you wanted to.
00:29:20If you had the strength.
00:29:21New dress?
00:29:29Expensive, I suppose.
00:29:33Shockingly.
00:29:36It's too low here.
00:29:38That's the one.
00:29:59Number three.
00:30:00The Mayfly, Philly.
00:30:01Can I ride out while I'm staying with you?
00:30:03You'll be too busy working.
00:30:04Oh, come on.
00:30:06Maybe the weekends.
00:30:08Oh, Lord, what's he doing here?
00:30:18Hello, Dad.
00:30:19Hello, old boy.
00:30:23You know your old cousin, George?
00:30:25Of course, George.
00:30:26Well.
00:30:26And this is a friend of mine, Prosper Perfond.
00:30:30He's over from Belgium.
00:30:32My son, Val Darty.
00:30:35Back from foreign clients.
00:30:37Ah.
00:30:37How do you do?
00:30:39How do you do?
00:30:40And this is John.
00:30:41John Forsythe.
00:30:42Nice to see you.
00:30:43Hello.
00:30:44Good Lord.
00:30:44Goodness me.
00:30:46Young Jew.
00:30:49Hello.
00:30:49Well, I hear you are a stud farmer, Mr. Darty.
00:30:56You found yourself some land over here.
00:30:58Are you buying, Mr. Perfond?
00:30:59Oh, I'm always buying.
00:31:01And you?
00:31:02If I can afford it.
00:31:04Number three, a small thing, but fine.
00:31:08That's what I thought.
00:31:10I might be.
00:31:10None of these worth racing, Lance Trevor.
00:31:12Well, I've yet to find something, that is.
00:31:17Will you join us, Mr. Val Darty?
00:31:19That's kind.
00:31:21And your young friend?
00:31:23Yes.
00:31:24In my car, one quarter of an hour.
00:31:27Excuse me.
00:31:30Well, we'll see you at lunch.
00:31:31Sorry about that.
00:31:36My own man's a bit rackety.
00:31:38I'd rather lie to him.
00:31:39We'll try lunch, of course.
00:31:44He'd probably be pleased if we did.
00:31:55More champagne, sir.
00:31:59Oh.
00:32:00Oysters, huh?
00:32:10John.
00:32:12Will I like it?
00:32:13Try it.
00:32:14Soon there'll be another war.
00:32:15You won't get a chance.
00:32:16How do you think, sir?
00:32:18Well, I opened up an armaments factory in 1912, you know.
00:32:24Needed to make money.
00:32:27Bullseye.
00:32:28Yes, I reckon it is still a solid industry.
00:32:31Did you fight?
00:32:33Well, I couldn't just supply the weapons.
00:32:35I had to try them out as well, you know.
00:32:36A toast.
00:32:38Here we go.
00:32:42Oops.
00:32:46To Val.
00:32:47You're doing fine, old chap.
00:32:52You set yourself up without any help from anyone.
00:32:56Well done, sir.
00:32:59Never see you in London, mind.
00:33:03Hmm?
00:33:04Your mother could do with a visit.
00:33:09Well, at least you're here, eh?
00:33:11Amongst us betting men.
00:33:13It's in the blood, you see.
00:33:15Can't get away from the darty blood.
00:33:17You see, he is a cricketer.
00:33:29Do you know how I could have been?
00:33:30Cricket is what he was meant for.
00:33:32What we are all meant for, huh?
00:33:34Nothing more, nothing less.
00:33:37How's that?
00:33:38Do you play?
00:33:40I like to watch, too.
00:33:41My father takes me to Lourdes.
00:33:42How is Jolion?
00:33:44Fine, thank you.
00:33:45Haven't seen him for years.
00:33:47Must be getting on.
00:33:49Not to me, he isn't.
00:33:52Well said, sir.
00:34:09Do you excuse me?
00:34:29It works better if you look at it from this angle.
00:34:35I haven't seen you in years.
00:34:37Not since before the war.
00:34:40I read about St. John's son.
00:34:42Terrible.
00:34:44Fortunately, most of the four sites were spared.
00:34:46Too old or too young.
00:34:47A blessing.
00:34:49Mm.
00:34:54It's Cupid and Psyche.
00:34:57You can see their faces.
00:34:59Kissing.
00:35:00What stuff.
00:35:02A lamppost inclusion with an ombro bus.
00:35:05A vision of the future.
00:35:07You've invested in this.
00:35:10It's my gallery.
00:35:11I thought you knew.
00:35:13I must be making a dead loss.
00:35:14I heard you collect art.
00:35:22Indeed.
00:35:23You obviously don't understand it.
00:35:26For you, it's about possession.
00:35:29Buying and selling.
00:35:31It always has been.
00:35:32Soames Foresight.
00:35:35The greatest grocer of them all.
00:35:42There are some things you can't buy, Soames.
00:35:46Remember.
00:35:46You still haven't learned.
00:35:55Excuse me.
00:35:56Excuse me.
00:35:56This is by Paul Post, Mum.
00:36:08It's good, isn't it?
00:36:11It's interesting.
00:36:13This is him too.
00:36:14Daddy.
00:36:40Daddy.
00:36:41What an extraordinary gallery.
00:36:46We're leaving.
00:36:48I just arrived.
00:36:50It's all so jolly.
00:36:53Fleur.
00:36:55I feel unwell.
00:37:02Fleur.
00:37:07Fleur.
00:37:08Tomato blobs.
00:37:13Or is it a sunset?
00:37:15Airplanes.
00:37:16Coming into land, apparently.
00:37:17Lee.
00:37:18Let's go and find you.
00:37:41Tom.
00:37:44We have to go.
00:37:45We have to go.
00:37:48Fleur.
00:37:50Just a minute.
00:37:58Do we know him from somewhere?
00:38:00I need some air.
00:38:02Wait.
00:38:02Is this yours?
00:38:05FF.
00:38:06Fleur Foresight.
00:38:07It's mine, all right.
00:38:08Foresight?
00:38:09Well, that's my name too.
00:38:11Perhaps we're cousins.
00:38:12Yes.
00:38:16That day in the garden.
00:38:22Countless.
00:38:23Distant, perhaps.
00:38:24My name's Julian, sir.
00:38:26John, for short.
00:38:29Oh, yes.
00:38:30Distant.
00:38:31Very good.
00:38:33Goodbye.
00:38:33Goodbye.
00:38:34Who are they?
00:38:49I mean, you know them.
00:38:50Not well.
00:38:52Are they family?
00:38:54Your grandfather and his brother had a quarrel with them.
00:38:57You know that side of the family.
00:39:00What a feud.
00:39:02How romantic.
00:39:04If you want to please me, you'll put these people out of your head.
00:39:07Poor daddy, you're upset.
00:39:09We'll talk about this later.
00:39:10We will not.
00:39:12I'm not your daughter for nothing, my dear.
00:39:14If I want something, I generally get it.
00:39:16So if you won't tell me, I shall find it out another way.
00:39:19Oh, Hollywood.
00:39:33It really is quite important that I speak to her.
00:39:36But she's entertaining.
00:39:37I'm sure she won't mind.
00:39:38Miss Fleur.
00:39:40Miss Fleur.
00:39:41My goodness.
00:39:42It's from Paris.
00:39:44Prosper, my niece Fleur.
00:39:46Ah, ma mousel enchantée.
00:39:47Your aunt says she's never been to Paris, so I bring Paris to her.
00:39:51I'm far too old for this.
00:39:54Sacreloge!
00:39:54In France, no one is too old.
00:40:01We're just about to have lunch.
00:40:02Please stay.
00:40:04It was a quick call, actually.
00:40:05I met someone this morning.
00:40:07John Forsythe.
00:40:09Do you know him?
00:40:12A distant cousin.
00:40:14How distant?
00:40:15Oh, we don't keep in touch.
00:40:19His mother was beautiful.
00:40:22Oh.
00:40:23Well, I never really knew her.
00:40:26Lunt is ready, ma'am.
00:40:27Oh, thank you, Dora.
00:40:28Now, where is Monty?
00:40:31Are you sure you won't eat for her?
00:40:33No, thank you.
00:40:35John Forsythe.
00:40:37Young.
00:40:38My age?
00:40:39I met him with Yorval.
00:40:43Splendid boy.
00:40:45Then you must know them.
00:40:49Let's go in.
00:40:50We had an encounter today.
00:41:01Hmm.
00:41:03With whom?
00:41:08Sam's.
00:41:12He and his daughter were in the gallery.
00:41:15But how?
00:41:17Did he realise it belonged to June?
00:41:19Well, I didn't talk to him.
00:41:20I...
00:41:21I just saw him.
00:41:24I...
00:41:24felt that he was there.
00:41:28Oh, my darling.
00:41:30Must have been awful for you.
00:41:32All of these years later,
00:41:43and he can still make my skin crawl.
00:41:50I can't believe
00:41:52that I married him.
00:41:56Oh.
00:41:59John seemed to like the girl.
00:42:00Well, John's a young man.
00:42:03He was struck by her.
00:42:06John's struck by girls.
00:42:07Full stop.
00:42:10Yes.
00:42:11He won't see her again, don't worry.
00:42:13Oh, Daddy.
00:42:33Daddy.
00:42:37It's beautiful.
00:42:39I'm glad you like it.
00:42:45I love it.
00:42:46There.
00:42:47Now you're ready.
00:42:51Happy birthday.
00:42:52Happy birthday.
00:42:54Is cousin Val coming tonight?
00:43:11I believe so.
00:43:12With Winifred and Doughty.
00:43:14Why?
00:43:15We haven't seen him in ever so long.
00:43:18He's been abroad.
00:43:19Wasn't it more than that?
00:43:24He...
00:43:25He married someone,
00:43:26the daughter of a cousin
00:43:27Daddy doesn't like.
00:43:28It's complicated.
00:43:30Foresight history.
00:43:33One more thing.
00:43:35Hurry up, Fleur.
00:43:36You'll be late.
00:43:37Terrific of you to invite me, sir.
00:43:59You're early.
00:43:59My daughter's not yet down.
00:44:01Ah, I see.
00:44:02There's the picture.
00:44:02Here.
00:44:03Here.
00:44:07Well, she's in good company,
00:44:09in Goga.
00:44:13From Marba's house.
00:44:34Were you in the war, Mr. Mond?
00:44:36Yes, I was.
00:44:37How riveting.
00:44:39Did you have a terrible time?
00:44:41Yes, I did.
00:44:47This party is a bore, isn't it?
00:44:48Not from where I'm standing.
00:44:50Are you going to dance?
00:44:52May I bag a spot on your list?
00:44:56There's my cousin Val
00:44:57with his wife, Holly.
00:44:58Excuse me.
00:45:00First dance, my dear.
00:45:01Oh, Daddy, of course.
00:45:06Thank you so much for persuading Soames
00:45:28to invite Val and Holly.
00:45:29I so want everyone to get on.
00:45:30It's the least I could do.
00:45:31Oh, this is Prosper Performing.
00:45:45Shall we?
00:45:46Prosper's got immaculate manners.
00:46:03I'm dancing with her hostess.
00:46:04It's only right for us.
00:46:07You're a good dancer, Daddy.
00:46:17You should do it more often.
00:46:19Have fun.
00:46:21Happy birthday.
00:46:24There's Aunt Winifred's bow.
00:46:29Monsieur Profond, this is my husband, Soames.
00:46:31Nice to meet you.
00:46:33And my daughter, Fleur.
00:46:34We've met.
00:46:35Exactly.
00:46:40Are you here on business, Mr. Profond?
00:46:43Pleasure.
00:46:45Mr. Profond made money in the war, Soames.
00:46:48Shares in armaments.
00:46:49He tells me he likes to give it away.
00:46:52I'm always making money.
00:46:55I want little for myself.
00:46:56I like my friends to have it.
00:46:58Excuse me, Soames.
00:47:04Val and Holly.
00:47:06Very nice to see you again.
00:47:09Shall we?
00:47:11Val.
00:47:12Good to see you, Uncle Soames.
00:47:16Would you excuse us for a moment?
00:47:23You could at least try.
00:47:25For Winifred's sake.
00:47:26They should never have come back from South Africa.
00:47:28And that's another child.
00:47:30Profond.
00:47:30I can't abide for it.
00:47:31Then why did you marry one?
00:47:39This is Mrs. Dugton.
00:47:41Oh, child.
00:47:43I am sure.
00:47:44Do you know anything about John Forsythe?
00:47:56I'm sorry to come out with it like this, but you're my last hope.
00:47:59Everyone around here is being so buttoned up.
00:48:00He's coming to stay with us next week.
00:48:02With you?
00:48:03It's Holly's half-brother, don't you know?
00:48:05I know nothing.
00:48:06Well, it's best not to bring these things up.
00:48:11Bring what things up?
00:48:12Fleur.
00:48:13How you've grown.
00:48:15We haven't seen you in so long.
00:48:17Wouldn't it be jolly if we could be friends?
00:48:19Cousin Val says I can come and stay at your new farm.
00:48:23Maybe later in the summer.
00:48:25I thought next week.
00:48:26It's rather difficult.
00:48:28Aunt Winifred.
00:48:31Val and Holly have invited me to stay next week.
00:48:33Isn't that sporting of them?
00:48:34Oh, what a lovely idea.
00:48:37Miss Forsythe.
00:48:38Please, please, will you dance with me?
00:48:43Excuse me.
00:48:46Excuse me.
00:48:50What are we going to do about John?
00:48:52It's almost as if Fleur knew he was coming.
00:48:56She asked me outright.
00:48:58It took me by surprise.
00:48:59How?
00:49:00They can't have met.
00:49:02I don't see how.
00:49:03She isn't a Tesla.
00:49:19Night.
00:49:22Night.
00:49:28A lovely party.
00:49:32Put some colour into your cheeks.
00:49:33I doused all night.
00:49:36With Michael Malt.
00:49:38And others.
00:49:40Good night, my love.
00:49:42Cousin Bell's asked me down to stay.
00:49:49But we don't see them.
00:49:51He has wonderful horses and he says I can ride out with him.
00:49:54Claire.
00:49:54It's only a few days.
00:49:55It's only a few days.
00:49:57Please, Daddy.
00:50:00Well, it keeps you out of trouble.
00:50:10Night, night.
00:50:12Night, Daddy.
00:50:13Good night.
00:50:30Good night.
00:51:10We're pretty basic round here.
00:51:17I hope you don't mind.
00:51:19Of course not.
00:51:24Sorry Val's not here to greet you.
00:51:27He's exercising a new horse.
00:51:30He must be very busy.
00:51:32He is.
00:51:37I'm afraid you'll be fearfully bored.
00:51:39Not at all.
00:51:42I'm here to get to know you, remember?
00:51:52So, it's just the two of you here?
00:51:57Who else would there be?
00:51:58Holly!
00:52:03Holly!
00:52:14I left my book upstairs in my bedroom.
00:52:18This is John, my little brother.
00:52:22Fleur's a cousin of ours, John.

00:57:04haven't I been clever tracking you down you know ever since that day at Aunt Hester's
00:57:33I've always wondered who was he why was everyone so furious and then in the gallery wasn't it awkward
00:57:41my father really passed out I found out why there's a feud between our families
00:57:48that's why I pretended we hadn't met yesterday are you a good liar not very
00:57:56oh they don't mean us to be friends you see so if we want to be which we do
00:58:05then we must keep it a secret

00:58:22so you're going to be a farmer
00:58:36maybe I like the work the people
00:58:42of course farming is not the grand thing but I don't really care about that
00:58:48John John the farmer's son stole a pig and away he run
00:59:02I don't know
00:59:12and now
00:59:25A vast place is just over that hill.
00:59:37Then I'll go on alone.
00:59:39They mustn't see us together.
00:59:40That's ridiculous.
00:59:42You don't know my father.
00:59:44I'm an only child, and so are you.
00:59:46There's so much expected of us.
00:59:48My mother would never stop me from doing anything that made me happy.
00:59:52I'm sure your father's the same, though.
00:59:53Come on.
00:59:53What are you doing?
00:59:55Coming with you.
00:59:58Well, don't walk so fast.

01:00:11Should we?
01:00:18You know, the boys are a couple of years on from me at school.
01:00:22Talked about what they were going to do.
01:00:24The girls are going to meet.
01:00:27And then they joined up.
01:00:30It's a beastly thing.
01:00:32They died so young.

01:10:53She lies to everyone else.
01:10:55That's unfair.
01:10:56Anyway, it's only because of who her father is.
