00:00:00I wish this journey went on forever.
00:00:02You should never have allowed Val to invite her.
00:00:05They must keep... they must be kept apart.
00:00:07Take him on holiday.
00:00:10It wouldn't go wrong, haven't we?
00:00:12Take his mind off her.
00:00:14I'll be faithful to you.
00:00:16I will.
00:00:18I love you, Fleur Forsyte.
00:00:20I love you, I do.
00:00:22No, you don't.
00:00:23Oh, yes, I do.
00:00:24Thank you for a terrific weekend.
00:00:30I don't know your name.
00:00:34Jerry?
00:00:36Julian. Julian Forsyte.
00:00:39Do you want to go home?
00:00:41Yes.
00:00:46One last time.
00:00:48Darty's last bet.
00:00:50This is madness.
00:00:52Look out!
00:01:00They were married, then divorced.
00:01:02Your mother and daddy is true.
00:01:03It can't be.
00:01:04Who told you?
00:01:05What?
00:01:06Tell me.
00:01:08Now you've seen where we live.
00:01:11Is it different to how you imagined it?
00:01:13Or exactly the same?
00:01:15She lies to you.
00:01:16She lies to everyone else.
00:01:17That's unfair.
00:01:19Anyway, it's only because of who her father is.
00:01:21John will come back.
00:01:31Where is he?
00:03:09At least there's no mention of Fleur.
00:03:10If you want to contact me urgently, get hold of Maple.
00:03:15I'm staying in one of his cottages.
00:03:16Otherwise, please don't worry.
00:03:18I'll be in touch soon.
00:03:19All my love, John.
00:03:21He's cut himself off.
00:03:22No.
00:03:23No.
00:03:23No.
00:03:23He wants to show us he can be independent, that he's not tied to our apron strings.
00:03:29And perhaps he's thrown Fleur over.
00:03:32He's licking his wounds.
00:03:34I want him here.
00:03:36Now.
00:03:36He'll come back.
00:03:38He'll come back.
00:03:52The row?
00:03:53Was it about me?
00:03:55My dad behaved appallingly to you.
00:03:58I don't know what got into him.
00:04:01I don't want to be the reason for any bad feeling between you.
00:04:05You're not the reason.
00:04:07He is.
00:04:08How long are you going to stay here, then?
00:04:14I mean, not for good.
00:04:17No.
00:04:19No, I just need some time away from them.
00:04:21They'll understand.
00:04:24You know, they're pretty amazing parents most of the time.
00:04:29Poor John.
00:04:38You don't have to be back for a whole week.
00:04:43Isn't it amazing?
00:04:45All this time.
00:04:48Daddy thinks I'm in Brighton with Cherry.
00:04:50And that I'm in love with Michael Bond.
00:04:54I shouldn't have written to you.
00:04:56You shouldn't have come here.
00:04:58Why?
00:04:59You know very well.
00:05:01I thought that when I got your letter, this is what you wanted.
00:05:08Stop it, Fleur.
00:05:19You don't, Rose.
00:05:20I do.
00:05:21You asked me here to make fun of me.
00:05:22No, no.
00:05:24I'm leaving.
00:05:26Look, can't you see?
00:05:28I'm dying for you.
00:05:31We mustn't rush this.
00:05:33It's the most important thing.
00:05:35It's everything.
00:05:35I'm not sure it's not because.
00:05:40Because of what?
00:05:57Don't break my heart, John.
00:06:00I couldn't stand it if you did.
00:06:02How could I ever do that?
00:06:13That'll be all for this evening, Bilson.
00:06:15Good night.
00:06:16Good night, sir.
00:06:18Mrs. Forsyte.
00:06:19Mr. Forsyte.
00:06:38I feel it my duty to inform you that your wife has been in the company of a dirty foreigner.
00:06:46Prosper, Prosper performed.
00:06:51He meets her twice a week, and they use the amenities of a hotel in Bayswater.
00:06:59What have you just said?
00:07:23Foreigner.
00:07:25It's misspelt.
00:07:26Don't deny it.
00:07:28Darty has told me as much.
00:07:30Did he?
00:07:31Charming.
00:07:32And now I get this.
00:07:33A letter from some stranger.
00:07:36The whole of London must know that my wife's...
00:07:37That your wife's a what?
00:07:41You're nothing but trouble.
00:07:44The lot of you.
00:07:44Do you remember what you were when I married you?
00:07:51And do you remember how old I was?
00:07:52Not half your age.
00:07:54I have given you the child you wanted.
00:07:56I've stood by you.
00:07:57But I'm still young.
00:07:59You'll give up this friendship.
00:08:00Do you understand?
00:08:02I'll do no such thing.
00:08:03Then I'll make you.
00:08:04I'll cut you out of the will.
00:08:05I'll divorce you if I have to.
00:08:06Poor Soames losing another wife.
00:08:09Think of the scandal.
00:08:09I'll cut you out of the will.
00:08:39So you have the paperwork for Miss Fleur's settlement?
00:08:47Yes, sir.
00:08:51I want to change trustees.
00:08:54At present, Mrs. Forsyte is sole trustee, is she not?
00:08:56Sir?
00:08:57I want to strike her off.
00:08:58Sir, that means Mrs. Forsyte will have her yearly income...
00:09:01and nothing more to depend on.
00:09:02With immediate effect, Gradman.
00:09:04Make Mrs. Darty, the sole trustee, and Mr. George Forsyte a backup.
00:09:07Very good, sir.
00:09:13How is Mrs. Forsyte, sir?
00:09:15Well, thank you.
00:09:17And Miss Fleur, sir?
00:09:20Come to the coast with a school friend.
00:09:22She's in Brighton.
00:09:22Tell me again.
00:09:40I feel it's my duty to inform you that your wife has been in the company of a dirty foreigner.
00:09:48Excellent.
00:09:49Well, no, my reputation precedes me.
00:09:51He meets your lady twice a week.
00:09:54Excusez-moi, only twice?
00:09:56No, no, no.
00:09:57Last week it was one, two...
00:10:02three, four, four...
00:10:04And next week?
00:10:05Oh, next week.
00:10:07Oh.
00:10:11Sobs.
00:10:12Yes?
00:10:20Who is it?
00:10:22The hot chocolate you ordered, sir.
00:10:27And the liver, sir, for the dog.
00:10:37There.
00:10:38I'm so sorry, sir.
00:10:41I'm so sorry.
00:10:51I'm so sorry.
00:11:01Oh, chocolate and liver? Oh, quel chien gastronome!
00:11:21It doesn't matter, does it? The letter.
00:11:26Oh, no, my chocolat show.
00:11:28It doesn't matter at all.
00:11:58You want to cut the stalk out of that?
00:12:22It'd be too tough to eat.
00:12:25I had a vegetable garden for years.
00:12:29I don't know if John told you, but I wasn't always made of money.
00:12:34May I?
00:12:41John's working at the farm. He'll be back soon.
00:12:45I owe you an apology.
00:12:48I was pretty unpleasant last time you met.
00:12:51It's John you should apologise to.
00:12:53It's you I want to talk to.
00:12:56I didn't mean to lie to you that day at Robin Hill.
00:12:59Sure you didn't.
00:13:01I jumped to conclusions about you.
00:13:04Why?
00:13:05Because you're a foresight.
00:13:08So are you.
00:13:10Yes, but I broke away from them.
00:13:20Why is the family so very awful? What do they ever do to you?
00:13:23They uphold values I don't adhere to.
00:13:28Like what?
00:13:31Selfishness, possessiveness, money and power over love.
00:13:36But I'm not like that.
00:13:40Then prove it to me.
00:13:43I will. I'll do anything.
00:13:45Give up my son.
00:13:47It's you who's being possessive now.
00:13:50Selfish.
00:13:51I'm dying, Fleur.
00:13:52See, there's a last request, there's a plea to your better nature.
00:14:01You don't look ill.
00:14:03It's heart disease.
00:14:06The final stage is about it.
00:14:08I'm sorry.
00:14:12So am I.
00:14:15John didn't tell me.
00:14:17John doesn't know.
00:14:20Neither does Irene.
00:14:22You'd call it stupidity, pride.
00:14:25I don't want them to pity me.
00:14:30I can understand that.
00:14:33But I need John to be strong for me.
00:14:36To be with me.
00:14:40I'm not stopping him from coming home.
00:14:42I know.
00:14:43It's all his decision.
00:14:46He's chosen a bad time to strike out.
00:14:48That's all.
00:14:52I persuade him to come back to Robin Hill,
00:14:54but I'm not going to break it off with him.
00:14:56If you marry John,
00:14:58Irene will be entirely alone.
00:15:02He doesn't have to choose between us.
00:15:04Yes, he does.
00:15:10He'll be my father.
00:15:17So fair.
00:15:19Do the right thing.
00:15:29The selfish thing.
00:15:30All right.
00:15:46I'll finish it.
00:15:53It was delicious.
00:16:14Don't sound so surprised.
00:16:16I'm not.
00:16:16It's just...
00:16:17I was brought up on cook's knee.
00:16:19Pastries, roasts.
00:16:20I won't make a farmer's wife of you yet.
00:16:29I had a visitor today.
00:16:33It was your father.
00:16:37What the hell's he doing checking up on me?
00:16:40He wasn't.
00:16:41He just dropped by.
00:16:42He wants you home.
00:16:51He misses you, and I know you miss him.
00:16:54I'll survive.
00:16:57But you...
00:16:58You argued.
00:16:59You should make it up.
00:17:00What's he done?
00:17:07Hmm?
00:17:08Bewitched you?
00:17:12Come here.
00:17:21Every day of our lives should be like this.
00:17:24But it can't be.
00:17:25I just want to slam the door on a whole lot of them.
00:17:33I've got a better idea.
00:17:37We could elope.
00:17:41In Scotland, we don't need to be 21, and we don't need parental consent.
00:17:48One of us only needs to be a resident for 21 days.
00:17:52I could go up there and deposit a suitcase.
00:17:57Three weeks later, we could travel up together, reclaim it, and get married.
00:18:09I'll go up with the suitcases.
00:18:12Oh, John!
00:18:13No.
00:18:17No.
00:18:19You go home.
00:18:21Make amends with your father.
00:18:24I suppose I wouldn't mind.
00:18:26But...
00:18:28don't tell him about us.
00:18:30Tell him that I've thrown you over.
00:18:34Yes.
00:18:35And then, when we're married, and there's nothing they can do about it,
00:18:42we'll tell them.
00:18:44Okay.
00:18:46Go.
00:18:47Hmm.
00:18:4921 days.
00:18:54I love you.
00:19:00Edinburgh.
00:19:01Waterboard.
00:19:02Scotland train.
00:19:03I could go to Scotland and deposit a suitcase.
00:19:33Three weeks later, we could travel up together, reclaim it, and get married.
00:19:38Mr. Montt, sir.
00:19:59Ah!
00:20:00Mr. Montt.
00:20:01Come in.
00:20:02I don't want to intrude.
00:20:06You're not.
00:20:08The house seems rather empty without Fleur.
00:20:10She's one of those people, isn't she?
00:20:12Wherever she goes, the place lights up.
00:20:15Ah!
00:20:16How nice to see you again.
00:20:17Likewise.
00:20:18Fleur's not back until tomorrow, I'm afraid.
00:20:21We're all on tenterhooks.
00:20:22Where are you going?
00:20:24Into town.
00:20:25I need something to read.
00:20:26Send a servant.
00:20:28I like to go.
00:20:30There is very little of interest or amusement to keep me here.
00:20:34Mr. Montt?
00:20:34You see, I, unlike Fleur, am not one of those people the house does not light up.
00:20:45Well, I don't know, sir.
00:20:46I've been to two of your parties now, and they've both been splendid.
00:20:50Hmm.
00:20:50I merely provide the finances for the illumination.
00:20:56Well, somebody jolly well has to, and it's good of you to volunteer.
00:21:00You're buttering me up.
00:21:01Of course I am.
00:21:02I'm sweet on your daughter.
00:21:06Well, at least you're honest.
00:21:07She's a lucky girl.
00:21:08It seems that all her life you've allowed her to be what she wants, to do what she wants.
00:21:14Some would say I've indulged her.
00:21:16Thank God you have.
00:21:17There aren't enough Fleurs left these days.
00:21:20People who have the courage to enjoy themselves.
00:21:30My intentions, sir, are serious.
00:21:33Do I have your approval?
00:21:38I haven't known her long.
00:21:40Love's not about that.
00:21:41And Fleur's very young.
00:21:42In years, perhaps.
00:21:47Well, as you say, she does what she wants.
00:21:55In the end, the matter lies with her.
00:21:58But yes, Mr. Mont, you have my approval.
00:22:09Now, I just want to say a few words.
00:22:11Does anyone mind?
00:22:12I just want to say thank you, really, to all of you for putting up with me.
00:22:19Well, it's about time.
00:22:20It just seems I'm increasingly becoming a cantankerous old fool.
00:22:25I hate confrontations, yet during my lifetime, I've always been in the middle of them.
00:22:29First with my own father, then my son.
00:22:33And John, it means everything to me that you are sitting here tonight.
00:22:41Welcome home.
00:22:42I chanced upon an entry in Burke's peerage this morning.
00:23:02Michael Mont's father's a baronet.
00:23:04Typical, Michael, not to tell me.
00:23:09He's a dark horse.
00:23:11He's set on you.
00:23:13Do you think so?
00:23:14Young people these days are so sure of themselves.
00:23:18And you weren't.
00:23:20Did you never set your mind on something and have it at all costs?
00:23:23Much good it, didn't it?
00:23:24Was it an affair of the heart?
00:23:29A grand passion?
00:23:34I'm heading for bed.
00:23:44Good night, darling.
00:23:46Is she still alive?
00:23:49She is, isn't she?
00:23:50It's John Forsyte's mother, isn't it?
00:23:55Yeah.
00:23:56And you were married to her.
00:23:58Who told you that?
00:23:59I don't want it dragged up.
00:24:05Fleur.
00:24:15A grand passion, it was.
00:24:20But it was a long time ago.
00:24:23And no one would understand these days.
00:24:25I would.
00:24:27You see, I've inherited it.
00:24:29Her son.
00:24:31You told me that foolishness was all forgotten.
00:24:35Would it really be so very bad, Daddy, if we struck up together?
00:24:39Leave it well alone, my love.
00:24:42His family will never allow it.
00:24:44What if I can't?
00:24:46Michael Mont's a good man.
00:24:47A fine man.
00:24:49Michael.
00:24:56It's far better to be with someone who loves you more than you love them.
00:25:01There's nothing worse than always trying to please someone.
00:25:06Hoping they'll look at you.
00:25:09Smile at you.
00:25:11John's not like that.
00:25:12He's his mother's son.
00:25:13He has her blood running in his veins.
00:25:15Who?
00:25:15Be honest with yourself.
00:25:17Who's doing the chasing?
00:25:19You're him.
00:25:35Have you seen Dr. Little again?
00:25:36Well, I just feel better.
00:25:38And you've told Irene.
00:25:43Not yet.
00:25:44Dad.
00:25:45I will.
00:25:47Well, at least you've talked to John about Flair.
00:25:49No, I don't need to.
00:25:50It's over.
00:25:51Surely.
00:25:55I went to see her, you know.
00:25:57Where?
00:25:58John's cottage.
00:26:01She gave me her word and I believed her.
00:26:03Doesn't make sense.
00:26:04These things don't just go away.
00:26:06People don't stop feeling for each other.
00:26:08June, June, please.
00:26:11John's back.
00:26:13Flo's gone.
00:26:14Let's forget it.
00:26:15You must talk to him.
00:26:17Oh, Michael.
00:26:19It's important.
00:26:20You can't leave these things unresolved.
00:26:22Sometimes you're like a bull in a china shop.
00:26:25Adorable.
00:26:26Right.
00:26:28So let me do things my way.
00:26:29I won't say another word.
00:26:31Only to...
00:26:32Shush.
00:26:35Don't leave it too long.
00:26:36Ah, Miss Forsythe.
00:26:54Pleasure indeed.
00:26:57What do you want?
00:26:58To say goodbye to your parents.
00:27:02Goodbye?
00:27:03I am off on me travels.
00:27:05Never to return.
00:27:08I can't stay another week.
00:27:13Bored is the truth of it.
00:27:15The life of the people.
00:27:19Well, that's a beastly thing to say.
00:27:23Then I apologize.
00:27:25Mr. Profond.
00:27:36This is a welcome surprise.
00:27:39He's going away.
00:27:41Yes, I am off yachting.
00:27:43Around the world or somewhere.
00:27:46But you'll be back.
00:27:48Probably not.
00:27:49I won't be missed.
00:27:50You enjoy it your charms, Mr. Profond.
00:27:57Oh, don't misunderstand me.
00:27:59I have adored my stay here in England.
00:28:01You know, the English are so welcoming, so amusing.
00:28:03But I like to leave a place before the bloom is lost.
00:28:08Excuse me.
00:28:10There is something I must attend to.
00:28:15Goodbye, Madame Forsythe.
00:28:18Mr. Profond.
00:28:18I'll help you.
00:28:29It's true.
00:28:31In a week, I will be forgotten.
00:28:35Maybe that's no bad thing.
00:28:39Mr. Forsythe, we are both men of the world.
00:28:43You know the letter, the scandal?
00:28:45It's best we packed as friends.
00:28:48Well, he's gone.
00:29:15I'm awfully sorry.
00:29:22Telling you in front of us.
00:29:25Don't be too hard on him.
00:29:27Or me.
00:29:29We betrayed no one.
00:29:31What about Daddy?
00:29:33Your father and I will carry on as before.
00:29:36He married me for one thing only.
00:29:38You must have loved each other.
00:29:46Oh, my treasure.
00:29:47I think I'll lie down.
00:30:13I have a headache.
00:30:17You'll have supper in the dining room.
00:30:19Of course.
00:30:20I thought...
00:30:21If you wanted to go to London, we might all head up there tomorrow.
00:30:31You and Fleur might spend some time shopping.
00:30:42You need some new dresses.
00:30:47I'd like that.
00:30:57The pheasant really was delicious, Annette.
00:31:10It was done to a T.
00:31:18Do you shoot, Mr. Mond?
00:31:19Not since the war.
00:31:21Oh, of course.
00:31:22My father thinks I should just throw myself back into it.
00:31:24He's probably right.
00:31:26But you play cricket.
00:31:28I love it.
00:31:28Ah, well then.
00:31:30Val's organised a jolly to the Eton Harrow.
00:31:32You should all come.
00:31:33I haven't been for years.
00:31:35I've got a table in the Bedouin tent.
00:31:38It sounds irresistible.
00:31:40I rather thought so.
00:31:42Top had occasion, of course.
00:31:44Not many of them left.
00:31:47Yes, we'd like that.
00:31:51I don't understand cricket.
00:31:54It's time you learnt, my dear.
00:31:56I might amuse you.
00:32:00Very well.
00:32:03Fleur?
00:32:05When is it?
00:32:06Next week.
00:32:08That would be lovely.
00:32:12Excuse me a moment.
00:32:33Ah.
00:32:35Here you are.
00:32:37I needed some air.
00:32:44I didn't invite you to lunch, no.
00:32:46It was Daddy.
00:32:47Ah, yes.
00:32:47He and I are in love.
00:32:48Do you mind, awfully?
00:32:49We thought we might elope to the south of France.
00:32:54You're an idiot.
00:32:55At least I'm not dull.
00:32:57What's happened to you?
00:32:58Ever since you got back from Brighton,
00:32:59you've been like a strung-up kitten.
00:33:02Well, if you think I'm dull, then leave me alone.
00:33:05Can't do that, I'm afraid.
00:33:07I'm smitten.
00:33:12Come and meet my people.
00:33:14They're having a do.
00:33:15Weekend after next.
00:33:16I might not be here, then.
00:33:19I'm going away again.
00:33:21No.
00:33:23It's just anything might happen.
00:33:25But then we must seize the moment.
00:33:27I want to be with you, Fleur, all of the time.
00:33:29I can't think of anything worse.
00:33:33You're the better half of myself, the missing half.
00:33:37How can you say that?
00:33:38You don't even know me.
00:33:40I know that you make me laugh,
00:33:41even when you're being dull.
00:33:43That's more than enough for me.
00:33:50Anyway, he's being a bore now.
00:33:56I do like you, Michael.
00:33:57It's just...
00:33:58In some circles, you know, I'm quite a catch.
00:34:00And what circles would those be?
00:34:03The Women's Institute.
00:34:16Come to the cricket with me.
00:34:19I'd love to.
00:34:22But as a friend, you understand.
00:34:25Nothing more.
00:34:28Oh, my God.
00:34:42Bravo.
00:34:43Why doesn't he run?
00:34:46He hit a boundary.
00:34:48It's a four.
00:34:48Bad luck.
00:34:55Leg before.
00:34:56Leg before what?
00:34:58Wicked.
00:34:59It's quite simple.
00:35:01I don't even know which team we're supporting.
00:35:04It's not as if Daddy went to either school.
00:35:06There's nothing wrong with Winchester.
00:35:08I didn't say there was.
00:35:10Ah, it's lunch.
00:35:15Let's go and join Winifred.
00:35:19Mr. and Mrs. Forsythe.
00:35:23Mr. and Mrs. Forsythe.
00:35:23Sir?
00:35:27Mr. Ward.
00:35:28Mr. Forsythe.
00:35:31You look wonderful.
00:35:33Let's go in, shall we?
00:35:34Come along, Fleur.
00:35:45Ah, yes, Mr. Soames, Forsythe, please.
00:35:47Table two.
00:35:48Table two.
00:35:51Mr. Michael.
00:35:53What?
00:35:53Mayfly was never a sprinter, George.
00:35:56Nothing less than a mile and a quarter.
00:35:57Mr. and Mrs. Forsythe.
00:35:57Uh-huh.
00:35:58You'll come here.
00:35:59Where's Soames's Portagee?
00:36:01Oh, no!
00:36:03Mother says he's got a handle.
00:36:05So why does he call himself Mr.?
00:36:07Good question.
00:36:08George and Val are here.
00:36:09Now, come and meet them.
00:36:10They're longing to see you.
00:36:11Come on, everyone.
00:36:12Follow me.
00:36:14Just down here.
00:36:16Are you all right?
00:36:18Come on through.
00:36:20Mr. George.
00:36:21Mr. Mont.
00:36:23Nice to see you again.
00:36:24Mr. Mont.
00:36:25Sir?
00:36:25I'll give you six to four on Harrod.
00:36:27Five guineas.
00:36:29Oh, no.
00:36:34Now, let me shoot.
00:36:36Oh!
00:36:37Ah!
00:36:38Mr. Mont.
00:36:40Oh, it's lovely to see you again.
00:36:42Pleasure.
00:36:42Good to see you.
00:36:43Oh, no.
00:36:48How's that?
00:36:51Oh, sit down.
00:36:52Oh, thank you.
00:36:53Mr. Forsythe, a pleasure indeed.
00:36:59Mrs. Forsythe, a pleasure also.
00:37:06Lovely.
00:37:07Now, I think we should order some change, my dear.
00:37:10Yes, I love the change.
00:37:11Prosper, do you think we should have some care?
00:37:13Champagne, at least.
00:37:14I think we should have some care.
00:37:14I think we should have some care.
00:37:15I think we should have some care.
00:37:15I think we should have some care.
00:37:16Are you enjoying the cricket, Forsythe?
00:37:23Very much, but I am hanged if I can do the sums.
00:37:28The sums?
00:37:29On the blackboard.
00:37:31That's the score.
00:37:33Nobody told me.
00:37:34Why are you wearing that cap?
00:37:38I paid for it with my own money.
00:37:40That's a good enough reason for me.
00:37:42Were you ever at Eton?
00:37:43No.
00:37:44And I wanted arrow, niza.
00:37:46Arrow, arrow, arrow.
00:37:50Mock us.
00:37:52There's no army.
00:37:53It's only a game.
00:37:55It may just be a game to you, but there's a principle.
00:37:57I repeat.
00:37:58You have no right to wear that cap.
00:38:12Do you know when my eyes are won?
00:38:15Leave Mr. Crawford alone, my dear.
00:38:17How can he possibly understand?
00:38:20The word principle does not translate for him.
00:38:22What was the pity?
00:38:28Puddy?
00:38:34Excuse me.
00:38:37Excuse me.
00:38:37Thank you for that.
00:38:41Are you all right?
00:38:43He's a horrible man.
00:38:45I hate it that he's back.
00:38:46I hope he's gone again.
00:38:47He's the sword.
00:38:48Anyway, your mother gave him short shrift.
00:38:49How about a stroll around the boundary?
00:38:58Would you care about us?
00:39:06Flora.
00:39:07You're an idiot.
00:39:11Marry me, Flora.
00:39:12People are watching.
00:39:13Then I'll say it again.
00:39:15I mean it, Michael.
00:39:17Very well, then.
00:39:18I'll buy an ice cream instead.
00:39:19I'll not be put off.
00:39:30Come again when I haven't got my wish.
00:39:33Adam, what's your wish?
00:39:35That would be telling.
00:39:43I've just seen someone.
00:39:45An old friend.
00:39:46Please, I'll see you back at the tent.
00:39:49Is it really you?
00:39:56What was that all about?
00:39:57Oh, just nonsense.
00:40:01Let's find somewhere quiet.
00:40:04Your father's here.
00:40:14I missed you so much.
00:40:17Do you still want to marry me?
00:40:18He's in love with you, isn't he?
00:40:21That chap.
00:40:24So are you.
00:40:26And that's what matters.
00:40:27Still the same, isn't it?
00:40:45After 40 years?
00:40:47Here, maybe.
00:40:49Beyond those walls, everything's going to pieces.
00:40:50The youngsters have no sense of the past and no concerns for the future.
00:40:55Well, it's a sign of the times.
00:40:57So many of their brothers and sisters didn't have a tomorrow.
00:41:04Profound.
00:41:06Is he back again for good?
00:41:09One never knows with Prosper.
00:41:10He's leaving tomorrow, I think.
00:41:15He's a sign of the times.
00:41:17Look, he'll be gone and we won't see him again.
00:41:23Come on.
00:41:23So you're angry with me?
00:41:34Bored, rather.
00:41:40Your behavior has become so predictable.
00:41:42You turn up out of nowhere with your party tricks.
00:41:55Would you like me to go away again?
00:41:59Does it matter what I'd like?
00:42:01I'm off to Le Touquet tomorrow.
00:42:07I came here today to ask if you'd like to come.
00:42:14But if I am boring...
00:42:19You may be.
00:42:23But Le Touquet isn't.
00:42:26I love Le Touquet.
00:42:31Where could John have got to?
00:42:33Oh, he's...
00:42:35Probably met a school friend.
00:42:37Chatting up some girl.
00:42:40Give me some time alone with you.
00:42:44I just had to ask you about this...
00:42:46I'd like to ask you about this...
00:42:47Oh, damn.
00:42:49Oh, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.
00:43:02Is this a job of the club?
00:43:08Doesn't matter.
00:43:09Of course it does.
00:43:10He's here and we can't stay.
00:43:12What I've been looking for.
00:43:13I'll come back.
00:43:19Where the hell is John?
00:43:24Come on, Samson.
00:43:26Come on, Samson.
00:43:29Come on.
00:43:31We're going.
00:43:32Why can't you just let me?
00:43:34We're leaving.
00:43:42But you're cricket.
00:43:43I have no interest in it.
00:43:47Where's Fleur?
00:43:52I thought I might go to Paris.
00:43:56To see Maman.
00:43:57When?
00:44:04Tomorrow.
00:44:07I can't stop you.
00:44:10I never could...
00:44:12stop her either.
00:44:16Go!
00:44:17And don't come back for all I care!
00:44:18Go!
00:44:27There's my father.
00:44:35Are you with your parents?
00:44:36Yes.
00:44:38Let's go now, this afternoon.
00:44:40While everyone's watching cricket,
00:44:41we'll be halfway to Scotland before we're missed.
00:44:43Tomorrow morning's soon enough.
00:44:47Don't worry.
00:44:48I'll be there in the morning,
00:44:49just as we arranged.
00:44:50Come on.
00:44:57It must be somewhere about.
00:45:03Oh, no.
00:45:05What?
00:45:08What?
00:45:19He has lied to us all along.
00:45:27Oh, no.
00:45:28I don't know.
00:45:58I'll talk to him.
00:46:02I love her, Mum.
00:46:06I know.
00:46:12I can't believe he has been so deceitful.
00:46:15He is 19 and he thinks he's in love.
00:46:18It's her manipulating him.
00:46:21Still, he should stand up for himself.
00:46:23We've always taught him to be honest.
00:46:24Oh, well, we haven't always been honest ourselves.
00:46:30I went to see her, you know.
00:46:32I didn't tell you.
00:46:33I didn't want to upset you.
00:46:33But she swore to me she'd given up.
00:46:37Christ, I laid myself open to her.
00:46:39I told her that...
00:46:40You told her what?
00:46:55You told her what, Jillian?
00:46:58You're ill.
00:47:10You, you are ill.
00:47:14Is it serious?
00:47:17Oh, my darling.
00:47:20It is.
00:47:21Please, please, please, don't worry.
00:47:25All of these trips to London...
00:47:29I knew, of course, but I...
00:47:32I couldn't bear to think of it.
00:47:35How long do we have?
00:47:54Not long enough.
00:47:58But with you, it would never be long enough.
00:48:00That's right, I can't bear the thought of them girls, John.
00:48:08If it happens to me, Mary, I might not be there
00:48:11to stand between you and Sam.
00:48:13He can't do anything to me now.
00:48:16You've put it off for so long.
00:48:21You have to tell John what happened.
00:48:23What do you think of me?
00:48:43You put him up to be understanding.
00:48:46His own mother...
00:48:47Irene, you did nothing wrong.
00:48:53John?
00:49:00Yes?
00:49:01Would you mind just coming in here for a moment?
00:49:07I know it looks bad.
00:49:08And it is bad, but I was going to tell you this evening...
00:49:11It's all right, it's all right.
00:49:15Sit down.
00:49:16There are things that we should have told you a long time ago,
00:49:29but it's just that we don't talk about them ourselves.
00:49:35It's painful and difficult for both of us.
00:49:39I know that Mum was married to Fleur's father.
00:49:45And I know that you divorced him.
00:49:48I can see why this makes things very awkward.
00:49:51There must have been some kind of scandal.
00:49:56From the point of view of the world,
00:49:58I behaved badly.
00:50:02I left Fleur's father...
00:50:05my husband...
00:50:08for another man.
00:50:10Yes.
00:50:10My dad.
00:50:11No, no, no.
00:50:12No.
00:50:12No.
00:50:13Someone else.
00:50:15An architect.
00:50:17Me.
00:50:18He built this house.
00:50:20It seems very shocking,
00:50:26but I am not ashamed of it.
00:50:31He saved me, and I loved him.
00:50:35This is what I don't understand.
00:50:37You both flouted everyone for love.
00:50:41So why can't I?
00:50:44He's right.
00:50:46You're right.
00:50:47This makes us look petty and selfish.
00:50:50We can't stop him, Jolien.
00:50:52Why should we?
00:50:53Because of Soames.
00:50:55That's why.
00:51:00Maybe we shouldn't go into this.
00:51:03Go into what?
00:51:04We have it.
00:51:04He has to know.
00:51:05If he's going to carry on with Fleur,
00:51:07what are you talking about?
00:51:08What happened?
00:51:10In some ways,
00:51:12it was my fault.
00:51:13I kept him at arm's length.
00:51:16I couldn't bear him to be near me.
00:51:18And he was my husband, after all.
00:51:21I locked emergency.
00:51:24Maybe I shouldn't have.
00:51:27Maybe if I hadn't...
00:51:29Irene.
00:51:30Irene.
00:51:30What?
00:51:31What did he do?
00:51:33Fleur's father has a very particular view of the world,
00:51:37a foresight view.
00:51:38He was born to believe that a man owns a wife,
00:51:41as a man might own a slave.
00:51:43Surely not.
00:51:43Well, a great many people share his opinion.
00:51:47Courts, for one.
00:51:48Soames is a solicitor.
00:51:50He knew his rights,
00:51:51and he asserted them
00:51:52over your mother
00:51:54physically
00:51:55and violently
00:51:57without her consent.
00:51:59That is enough.
00:52:00After that night,
00:52:03she left him
00:52:05with nothing.
00:52:08The clothes on the back,
00:52:09a little else.
00:52:10But he continued to hound her,
00:52:12to insist that she was his property.
00:52:16Now,
00:52:17when I first met your mother property,
00:52:20when we first fell in love,
00:52:22she was hiding from him
00:52:23in France.
00:52:25But he hunted her down there, too.
00:52:29Wanted her back,
00:52:29wanted her to have a child with him.
00:52:32The child he would eventually conceive
00:52:33with his second wife,
00:52:35which was Fleur.
00:52:37Oh.
00:52:38Dad.
00:52:39Julian.
00:52:40You're not well.
00:52:42Mom.
00:52:43Sit down.
00:52:44Dad.
00:52:46Oh.
00:52:48Oh, man.
00:52:49In my pills.
00:52:53In my, um,
00:52:54in my coat pocket.
00:52:55In my coat pocket.
00:52:56And water.
00:52:57Dad.
00:53:00She saw him today
00:53:01at Lawrence.
00:53:04And the horror
00:53:05in her face.
00:53:08The fear.
00:53:10Obsession like that
00:53:11was no way, John.
00:53:13And if he gets a chance,
00:53:15he'll hound her again.
00:53:16And we can't
00:53:17let that happen.
00:53:18You can't
00:53:19let that happen.
00:53:25Look at this.
00:53:26Johnny.
00:53:27I'm sorry.
00:53:43The doctor.
00:53:45Should I
00:53:46call the doctor?
00:53:48Yes, sir.
00:53:49Yes, I think
00:53:50that'd be a good idea.
00:53:52Mr. Julian, sir?
00:53:54Are you all right?
00:53:55Don't fuss.
00:53:57Call Dr. Little-Pofford.
00:53:59You'll find the number
00:54:00in my book.
00:54:00What's the matter with him?
00:54:01It's his heart.
00:54:03You see?
00:54:06Oh.
00:54:06Dad.
00:54:07Undo his tongue.
00:54:08It's time.
00:54:09Call the doctor, please.
00:54:11Dad, you survey me.
00:54:12Let's go.
00:54:13Mm.
00:54:14I see.
00:54:16It's time to be a good one.
00:54:17H iron.
00:54:37I see.
00:54:38No, no, no.
00:55:08No, no, no.
00:55:38No, no, no.
00:56:08No, no, no.
00:56:38No, no, no.
00:57:08No, no, no.
00:57:10No, no, no.
00:57:12No, no, no.
00:57:14I thought he'd be buried properly, next to Graham, but no.
00:57:18No, the typical Jolian.
00:57:21Reduces himself to nothing and doesn't even allow us to witness it.
00:57:24Well, he wrote clearly, no one to attend the cremation.
00:57:29Why?
00:57:30Well, you know what he was like.
00:57:35He hated people to make a fuss over him.
00:57:38He doubted himself.
00:57:39He was a genius at slipping away.
00:57:45He was a genius at slipping away.
00:57:54You know that he adored you.
00:57:56I always felt that I couldn't be old if I had a glamorous father like him.
00:58:04Now he's gone and here I am, a spinster.
00:58:12Junior, your life in London is so varied and full.
00:58:18Not without him, it isn't.
00:58:20Oh, sorry.
00:58:39So you're going to say goodbye?
00:58:45No.
00:58:50Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity,
00:58:55I am become as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
00:59:01Bye, Dad.
00:59:01Charity suffereth long and is kind.
00:59:07Charity envieth not.
00:59:10Charity wanteth not itself, is not puffed up.
00:59:14Doth not behave itself unseemly.
00:59:20I was a child.
00:59:22I spake as a child.
00:59:25I understood as a child.
00:59:28I thought as a child.
00:59:31When I became a man,
00:59:34I put away childish things.
00:59:58Take care of all of you.
00:59:59Of course I will.
01:00:00If you need anything.
01:00:02Where's John?
01:00:04I haven't spoken to him at all.
01:00:05We really should think about going.
01:00:07Will you tell him he read beautifully?
01:00:09I will.
01:00:12Bye, June.
01:00:14Goodbye, Holly.
01:00:14Bye.
01:00:14Bye.
01:00:14Bye.

01:00:56Bye.
01:00:56Bye.
01:00:56Bye.
01:00:56Bye.
01:00:57Bye.
01:00:57Bye.
01:00:57Bye.
01:00:58Oh, my God.
01:01:28I had to come.
01:01:38Is it very awful?
01:01:41Pretty bad.
01:01:44The suitcase is still in Scotland, and the trains run every day.
01:01:51My father died, Flower.
01:01:54He died.
01:01:55I'm sorry.
01:01:58I miss you so much.
01:02:00And our plan, it's still a good one, isn't it?
01:02:03I don't know.
01:02:04I can't think.
01:02:05That was then, and now.
01:02:10It's more than that.
01:02:13You found out something?
01:02:15No.
01:02:16You have?
01:02:17I don't wish to go into it.
01:02:18For heaven's sake, John.
01:02:19Your father behaved in a dishonourable fashion.
01:02:23I won't say more.
01:02:27Daddy?
01:02:29Dishonourable?
01:02:32It was your mother who deserted him.
01:02:34She walked out on her husband.
01:02:35Marriage isn't about possession.
01:02:37You wouldn't say that if I walked out on you.
01:02:39He loved her, and she...
01:02:41Don't talk about my mother like that.
01:02:43When we first met, you told me she'd never do anything to make you unhappy.
01:02:46That's not true, is it?
01:02:48She's holding on to you, keeping you from me.
01:02:50I'm going back to my family.
01:02:51I'm sorry.
01:02:55It was horrible of me.
01:03:00I've been thinking of you, longing for you.
01:03:06Please, John, don't let's argue.
01:03:21It just keeps running through my head.
01:03:35We could be married now.
01:03:38Man.
01:03:44My father.
01:03:48You have me, my darling.
01:03:51You have me.
01:03:53You have me.
01:04:21You have me.
01:04:23Come on.
01:04:53We're married now.
01:05:05John.
01:05:21June.
01:05:23June.
01:05:25How could you?
01:05:27On this of all days.
01:05:28It's not what it seems.
01:05:29I came to find you.
01:05:30I thought you must be feeling awful about Dad, but no.
01:05:32You're with her having...
01:05:33I didn't mean to.
01:05:34It just happened.
01:05:35Things don't just happen.
01:05:37Not with Fleur Fawcite at any rate.
01:05:40She's planned this step by step.
01:05:41And she hasn't cared who's gotten her way.
01:05:42She's not like that.
01:05:43Of course she is!
01:05:44Why do you think that Dad objected to her so much?
01:05:45Why do you think that we all want to see the back of her?
01:05:49Why do you think that Dad objected to her so much?
01:05:51Why do you think that we all want to see the back of her?
01:05:55I'm glad he's not here.
01:06:01To see how low she's brought you.
01:06:37Won't you stay the night?
01:06:41Um...
01:06:42I've got to get back.
01:06:44I'm meeting the lawyers tomorrow about the valuation of the estate.
01:06:47Yes.
01:06:48Well, thank you for taking all that on.
01:06:51You've enough on your plate.
01:06:53June...
01:06:54It's all right.
01:06:57Come down, won't you?
01:06:59Whenever you like.
01:07:01Robin Hill is just as much yours as it is mine.
01:07:07It always has been.
01:07:19I'll get John.
01:07:21Better not.
01:07:22I'll miss my train.
01:07:37There you are.
01:07:51We were wandering.
01:07:52I was in my room.
01:08:05Did June talk to you?
01:08:07What about?
01:08:09It doesn't matter.
01:08:11What is it, darling?
01:08:13I'm tired, that's all.
01:08:14Mum?
01:08:15Oh, Mum.
01:08:16Oh.
01:08:17Oh.
01:08:18I'm so sorry.
01:08:20What for?
01:08:21Oh, Mum.
01:08:22Oh...
01:08:23Oh...
01:08:24Oh...
01:08:25So sorry.
01:08:26What for?
01:08:27Oh...
01:08:28Oh...
01:08:29The last few months.
01:08:31I'm holding you back from the flowers.
01:08:33I'm so sorry.
01:08:38What for?
01:08:40Well, for the last few months,
01:08:44I'm holding you back from Fleur.
01:08:47It's me. It's me who should be apologising to you.
01:08:51I brought that man back into your life.
01:08:54I worried Father insanely...
01:08:56Let's not think about Soames' foresight.
01:09:00Let's think about Fleur.
01:09:03Do you love her, my darling?
01:09:06I mean, you really love her.
01:09:09I wouldn't be holding on to her if I didn't.
01:09:12You've only known her a few months.
01:09:16You're 19 years old.
01:09:18She is very beautiful, and you want her.
01:09:22I mean, who wouldn't?
01:09:24But is that love?
01:09:30Does she feel the way you do?
01:09:33Of course she does.
01:09:45Are you all right?
01:09:46Yes, I'm tired.
01:09:49Like you.
01:09:50I won't stop you, John.
01:09:57Whatever you decide.
01:10:00But if I lose you...
01:10:04Darling.
01:10:06How could you?
01:10:07His mother's been holding on to him, saying horrible things.
01:10:29What sort of things?
01:10:30About you.
01:10:31It's not true.
01:10:33All I mean to say is that all this might have been saved if only you'd done your duty.
01:10:37You've been a wife to me.
01:10:38That's all I wanted.
01:10:39All I ever wanted.
01:10:40Get away from my mother.
01:10:41I said step away!
01:10:43John!
01:10:44Go home, Fleur!
01:10:46Just go home!
01:10:47You're cold.
01:10:49Keep away from me!
01:10:52Get away!
01:10:52And yourself a good man.
01:10:56A man that won't cause you trouble.
01:11:00Then look elsewhere for your passion.
01:11:03To Michael.
01:11:04And his wife to be.
01:11:06Fleur.
01:11:07Fleur!
01:11:09Excuse me.
01:11:11You all right?
01:11:12A little hot.
01:11:18Face to face.
01:11:21Can you say it?
01:11:25I love you, Michael.
01:11:27More than anything, more than anyone.
01:11:30You can't marry him!
01:11:32You can't.
01:11:42I love you, Michael.
01:11:43I love you, Michael.
