00:30How to Define Her Foresight

00:51By the secrets we keep, shall you know us?

00:57By the little lies we tell?

01:04By the choices we make, which echo down the generations?

01:10Choices which will come back to haunt us, until one of us decides to change the story.

01:27Believe me, this will pass, and we'll come through it stronger and more devoted than ever.

01:34I believe you.

01:36My concern is this, now he knows about the children, will he be able to forget them again?

01:56Trust.

02:05You need fresh air.

02:09Wish I could take you to the seaside.

02:12I know where I like to go.

02:16To a magic place, where all the streets are made of water.

02:22Poor servant girl met the prince.

02:36So, at the next board meeting, I propose to introduce the subject of my nephew's unfitness

02:44to be chair.

02:45Hmm.

02:46Not just in temperament, but in behaviour.

02:50As in?

02:51Any action that might bring the firm into disrepute.

02:54This being the case, not only can he be said not to be chair material, he should be expelled

03:02from the company altogether.

03:08You're not the first to sow wild oats in your youth.

03:15But there's no need to pay for those mistakes with your career.

03:18They're not mistakes, Dad.

03:21They're my actual flesh and blood.

03:23And that's important.

03:25An heir is important, something you currently lack.

03:29But for the present, when your succession is about to be challenged,

03:33oh, I am well aware of James' manoeuvrings.

03:37It is imperative that we keep this matter a secret.

03:42Your father and I have been wondering.

03:47Is there a case for offering some inducement?

03:50Inducement?

03:51For the young lady in question?

03:54To ensure her silence?

03:56Her silence is not in doubt.

03:58But, if she could be persuaded to leave London.

04:01What?

04:02Set up home and business elsewhere.

04:04Suitably funded, of course.

04:05So she's expected to uproot her life and that of her children, for my convenience.

04:09When she's made it abundantly clear she wants no further contact.

04:12And you trust her?

04:13Completely.

04:14You are not proposing some kind of public statement?

04:21About the children?

04:22Well, how would that benefit any of us?

04:25No, I intend to honor her wishes.

04:28Whilst deciding how to discharge my financial obligation to her.

04:31Which will be my decision.

04:33No one else's.

04:36Are we sure he's the father?

04:44Why else would he be at her shop?

04:46And there was that business in Italy with the lady's maid.

04:49And there we have it.

04:51The thing to tip the scales against him.

04:55But let's keep this to ourselves for now.

05:01Do I think I'd be the better chair?

05:03Of course.

05:04Do I need to stoop to scheming to achieve it?

05:08You can leave all that to me.

05:10I've got another note from Mr. Foresight.

05:27Ahem.

05:52So, if you loved her,

06:22why did you marry Mamar?

06:27Because your mother was, is.

06:32An incredible woman.

06:34Cultured, caring, kind.

06:37And I valued that.

06:42In those early days after Venice, I was sometimes a little lost.

06:47And had you known about her situation,

06:55what would you have done?

07:00I can't answer that.

07:05You just did.

07:08June, wait.

07:17Give her time.

07:31I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.

07:38But I am here.

07:40And I have no plans to be elsewhere.

07:44Then all shall be well.

07:50Then all shall be well.

08:15You came.

08:16Did you doubt it?

08:25Forgive me.

08:26Yesterday I was overwhelmed.

08:29I failed to observe the proper formalities.

08:32Allow me to make amends.

08:34Miss Heron, you have made me the happiest of men.

08:41Would you give me the honour of wearing this ring?

08:47You dislike it?

08:57No.

08:58No.

08:59No.

09:00How could I?

09:01It's just...

09:02I mean...

09:03Is this happening to me?

09:05There must be so many more suitable women of your own station.

09:08Very many.

09:10Eminently suitable.

09:12All art and polish and impeccable breeding.

09:18Whereas you are all nature.

09:25And to me that is perfection.

09:29May I now have the honour of introducing you to my family.

09:46My love?

09:50Yes.

09:52Yes.

09:53May I now have the one you're going to get up.

09:59Okay.

10:01You saved me him.

10:02You paid it.

10:05Love it.

10:06Why do you do that?

10:07Even when you use your sons, you can move your leg back to the room.

10:10That's why you're saying that, huh?

10:14I won't do that unless you know your shoe in the room.

10:18A Wave please.

10:20Mama was always fond of that one.

10:35She was a fine one.

10:36Not a fast love, but a lasting one.

10:47So, it's a full turnout tomorrow?

10:50What's this?

10:51Epsom races. Monty's horse is running.

10:54What could possibly go wrong?

10:55What shall I wear?

10:58I need to cut quite the dash when I strut into the ring with Lady Peaches.

11:03Isn't that the groom's job?

11:04When one's nurtured a nag as I have, one feels a bond, a connection.

11:09You don't think of mounting her yourself, then?

11:11Do you know the thought had occurred?

11:13But the 2.30 at Epsom, is that the place to make one's debut?

11:15I thought I'd wear my peach hat in homage to Monty's horse.

11:19But if it doesn't win...

11:21Well, I believe by the end of tomorrow, we'll have something to celebrate.

11:24To that end, I'll be bringing a guest.

11:26Anyone we know.

11:28Wouldn't wish to spoil the surprise.

11:30Well, hardly a surprise.

11:32A guinea on Miss Carteret?

11:33If you have a guinea to waste.

11:41It's always a blow to realize that someone you love is not perfect.

11:45Of course you want him to be, but he's fallen short.

11:55And I can't forgive him.

11:57Parents disappoint their children.

11:59Children disappoint their parents.

12:03Mine have a talent for it.

12:05Even now, I suspect that your Uncle James is harnessing your father's imperfections to use against him.

12:15And you may say, quite right.

12:17Whereas I would say,

12:19Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

12:27Cheer not, my dear.

12:29Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.

12:31Yes, peaches!

12:41Come on, peaches!

12:42I told you!

12:44Go!

12:44Go, peaches!

12:45Come on, lady, peaches!

12:47Come on, lady, peaches!

12:49Go!

12:52Go!

12:53Go!

12:54Yes!

12:56Go!

12:57No, no, no!

12:58Go!

12:59Go!

13:00Go!

13:01Peaches!

13:01Go!

13:02Go!

13:24No!

13:25No!

13:27Oh, it was so close.

13:28So close.

13:29So close.

13:30You donkey!

13:35Damn it!

13:37I've been sold a pup, a turkey, a clunker, a veritable dud.

13:42But she did so well, Monty.

13:44She almost won.

13:49They need to fix that.

13:53How's Alicia?

13:55If we value your life, never ask if she's feeling tired or would like a chair.

13:59Oh, no, she already made that clear.

14:01I'm with child, Jo. I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.

14:09How are things with Francis?

14:11Just saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.

14:14Neither of us reckon with.

14:17And the implications are frankly severe.

14:20So does Soames propose to join us, or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?

14:34Oh, Miss Carteret.

14:36Pa would have been proud to think we'd achieved nobility in three generations.

14:40Just to alert you, I haven't purchased any of our plans with your family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.

14:53Of course.

14:54Oh.

15:01Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron.

15:03My family.

15:06How do you do?

15:10Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.

15:12Not at all.

15:13I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.

15:17Hmm.

15:18And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance.

15:22As Miss Heron has done me the honor of agreeing to be my wife.

15:26Congratulations.

15:28Our wedding will shortly take place by special license, after which we depart for Europe.

15:47On your honeymoon?

15:48How thrilling.

15:49Where will you go?

15:50Tradition dictates that must remain a secret.

15:53Heron, you say?

15:58Do we know that name?

16:01Who are your people, my dear?

16:03No one of consequence.

16:04My father was a professor and my mother...

16:06Oh, could we please not subject Miss Heron to the Spanish Inquisition?

16:10No, no, no, indeed.

16:12That function belongs to me.

16:16The customary formalities?

16:19Yes, of course.

16:23It's all right.

16:24All right.

16:25I thought it best to get the ordeal out of the way as soon as possible.

16:40As to the wedding itself, you must save a fortnight from now is too soon.

16:43A fortnight?

16:44Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.

16:45Well, well.

16:46Yes, sir.

16:47Well, well.

16:48Yes, sir.

16:49It's all right.

16:50Yes.

16:51Well, well, yes, sir.

16:56Well, well.

16:58Yes, sir.

16:59Well, well, yes.

17:00Your mother is seriously displeased.

17:19Why wasn't she consulted?

17:21And the haste.

17:23How long have you known this girl?

17:25Long enough.

17:26She seems rather lovely.

17:28Oh, Emily!

17:30She is.

17:31You'll like her.

17:33You must be fearfully in love.

17:35In love?

17:36What the deuce does that mean?

17:38It means everything, trust me.

17:43This is not the match we were expecting.

17:45No, I see that.

17:46And to take the plunge now, when Joe's dug himself a hole, we've got a clear shot of the

17:52chairmanship and you're about to go gallivanting off around the continent.

17:56Perhaps we should just leave Joe to it.

18:00Are you serious?

18:01Hmm.

18:02The insanity of it.

18:03I think I rather envy him.

18:05How?

18:06Daring to follow his heart.

18:12Did you?

18:13Did I?

18:14For God's sake, Emily.

18:15What sort of a question is that?

18:21Come along, pudding.

18:22Shall we retire?

18:23Come on.

18:24Well, that was sheer purgatory.

18:25Oh.

18:26Oh.

18:27Absolute hell.

18:28Oh.

18:29Grinning like fools is about.

18:30Oh.

18:31Grinning like fools as if our whole lives were not on the rack.

18:32Oh.

18:33Oh.

18:34Oh.

18:35Oh.

18:36Oh.

18:37Oh.

18:38Oh.

18:39Oh.

18:40Oh.

18:41Oh.

18:42Oh.

18:43Do you see her?

18:44Huh?

18:45Oh.

18:50Oh.

18:52Oh.

18:53Oh.

18:54Absolute hell.

18:56Grinning like fools,

18:58as if our whole lives were not on the rack.

19:07I know what makes this even worse.

19:10We always wanted children of our own.

19:17Yes.

19:19Somehow that never happened.

19:28Now to know that you have children with another.

19:37The last thing I ever wanted was to cause you pain.

19:40We must protect June as much as we can from all this.

19:50We must protect June from all this.

20:20you're not wearing that are you i mean the foresight ladies will never approve

20:29is it not sufficiently modish my concern is that you don't embarrass yourself you're

20:37stepping so far outside your milieu i thank you for your concern but i can only start

20:42as i mean to go on by doing what feels right

20:46so i was thinking crimson or burgundy my husband says don't be extravagant which is rich coming

21:07from him when he outspends his allowance every month and then blames me because he has no

21:11profession it's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company

21:16it's not as if i haven't hinted at it countless times they just keep saying we have a reputation

21:20to uphold at foresight and co foresight but your name's darty yes by marriage foresight by birth

21:28you know my cousin-in-law mrs francis foresight yes yes i uh i should perhaps warn you i'm

21:39snowed under with orders it could be months before your gown is ready in which case i'd

21:44quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere elsewhere i should think not and her tone

21:52almost as if she was wishing me gone and why would that be thank your cousin joe what and his not

22:02so gilded youthful escapades i congratulate you cousin miss heron seems an excellent choice

22:14thank you perhaps one's reached an age where one is free to make a choice without succumbing

22:22to family pressures one lives in hope

22:28joe father the dressmaker's children well well well the dirty dog how appalling

22:42but it does play into our hands how so he wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock

22:48for our purposes it serves us to portray him as a libertine the callous seducer the neglectful father

22:55i mean any of these could be said to jeopardize the reputation of the firm but it happened before

22:59he and francis met some might call it a youthful indiscretion well they'd be wrong such behavior

23:05yes monty what is it

23:08am i looking in my club

23:14does he perform any useful function he could given a chance if this is yet another bid to give

23:26him a role not a role a seat on the board

23:29you are joking the board meets tomorrow yes and your plan is to expel joe from the company

23:36do you have a majority are you sure you couldn't use an extra vote

23:41well monty's your man he's entirely without scruples he'll vote whichever way you tell him to

23:48excuse me ladies and gentlemen please take your seat and welcome esteemed lecturer and philanthropist

24:02mrs ellen parker barrington you believe you have no voice

24:07i believe the same i've been confused ignored disrespected in my time oh but trust me i'm under no illusion

24:21it is my wealth my standing which now confers power commands respect demands attention

24:30my late husband owned woolen mills in the north once viewed his workers as commodities

24:38expendable but he was brought to see them as precious human souls worthy of respect

24:48of dignity of proper recompense

24:54so change is possible and i owe those who have not been as fortunate as i to challenge

25:06ignorance and injustice wherever i see it

25:13i invite you to do the same

25:20mr renegade mr bucconer what brings you here

25:41the same as you i wish for rational argument i disgust for inequality

25:46would you would you care for some cake

25:50thank you

25:58so you're an architect how splendid i should introduce you to my family they'll be terribly impressed

26:06no i doubt it i'm a modernist

26:07in my experience the money classes are highly conservative in their tastes

26:12now you i suspect are a radical

26:15i like to think i have an open mind

26:18why else would you be here unchaperoned

26:20i don't care a fig for such nonsense

26:23i suspect your mother does

26:26and what she doesn't know can't hurt her

26:28do you have a card in case any of my family should at some point require your services

26:37you and i both know how unlikely that is

29:01yes

29:04i'm afraid there have been alarming rumors implicating one of our own which

29:10should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients could lead them to take their business

29:15elsewhere

29:15what rumors are these

29:17concerning a senior partner

29:20debauching a serving man

29:23that is not what happened

29:29in the dark

29:29my nephew

29:31i had a relationship prior to my marriage with a young woman i met in venice

29:42when we parted she was with child

29:43twins to be precise

29:46now ten years of age living with her mother in london

29:49and distasteful

29:52as some of you doubtless may find it

29:54distasteful

29:55try scandalous

29:57inexcusable

29:57what we can't ignore is that many of our clients will

30:01find such a liaison

30:02distasteful

30:03but of course they will

30:04because such things have never happened in respectable families

30:12good lord

34:59Goodbye, Joe.

35:00Goodbye, Joe.

35:01Goodbye, Joe.

35:02Goodbye, Joe.

35:03Goodbye, Joe.

35:04Goodbye, Joe.

35:05Goodbye, Joe.

35:06Goodbye, Joe.

35:07Goodbye, Joe.

35:08Goodbye, Joe.

35:09Goodbye, Joe.

35:10Mr. Ernicate.

35:40Can I be of assistance?

35:47No one can.

35:55Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?

36:10I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills. Even a stepfather with feet of clay.

36:23He's utterly betrayed me.

36:26I can see it must seem that way.

36:28If you'd seen him, with them, smiling adoringly, as if I didn't even exist.

36:38You exist to me, Mr. Ernicate.

36:42I do.

36:44I see you.

36:46Clear as day.

36:52I should go.

36:54I really shouldn't be here at all.

36:56Well, I'm glad you were.

37:03I'm glad you were.

37:15I'm glad you are.

37:20I've brought Miss Heron to see you.

37:50I congratulate you.

37:53Thank you, Grandmama.

37:55For catching them all unawares.

37:59But not you.

38:01The Carteret girl was too obvious.

38:04Not your type at all.

38:09Bring her to me.

38:20I just spoke to your father.

38:27Don't you want to know how it went?

38:31The vote?

38:33I can guess.

38:39In your favour.

38:42How?

38:43You're not to be expelled.

38:45So the chairmanship can now be yours.

38:48You must see what this now affords us.

38:55A golden opportunity.

38:58For you to recommit.

39:02To your family.

39:05The firm.

39:10Our life together.

39:12How do you see that?

39:23My commitment to you and June is absolute.

39:29So tell me, my dear.

39:36Are you prepared?

39:40For what?

39:41The Forsyte family.

39:43Are you aware of its peculiarities?

39:46Everyone has been welcoming.

39:49And Soames?

39:51What do you know of him?

39:54What can you tell me?

39:59Soames has never loved before.

40:01That he does so now is significant.

40:04You will want for nothing.

40:06You'll be mistress of all you survey.

40:09My wants are modest.

40:11And what are those wants?

40:14To love and be loved.

40:17To trust and be trusted.

40:19To dance.

40:22And it will be a dance.

40:26Whether the Pavan or a Tarantella.

40:28Or a Padida.

40:34And you?

40:37Are you in love?

40:38Oh.

40:41I have tremors.

40:44My pulse of races and I feel faint.

40:47Some poets call that love.

40:50What would you call it?

40:53A prelude.

40:56To something deeper.

41:01I hope you find it.

41:03I trust she wasn't too fierce.

41:15She was kind.

41:18You didn't mention Paris.

41:20Should I have done?

41:22Time enough to address that when we're there together.

41:25Planning our future.

41:26To our wedding day.

41:31To our wedding day.

41:33Hmm.

41:34So.

41:35Do we think this wedding is a love match?

41:50How can anyone not marry for love?

41:55Because love is only part of what makes a marriage.

41:57Respect.

42:02Patience.

42:04Belief.

42:06These also matter.

42:08And that's what you had with Papa.

42:14Have.

42:16Still.

42:17Still.

42:34This could have been the event of the season.

42:37Rather than some low key hole in the corner travesty.

42:41Just wish it hadn't come so soon.

42:43Soon, Emily?

42:44You've had him at home his entire life.

42:58It's just the thought of losing him to someone we don't really know.

43:03Who might wish to keep him all to herself.

43:06Yes, well that's the least of it.

43:08Instead of idling around Europe, he could be here planning our next strategy.

43:15Do you like it, Lamar?

43:19Monty assures me it costs the earth.

43:21Nothing's too good for my Freddy.

43:23A man of business can afford such trifles.

43:28Lord help us.

43:29For heaven's sake, Irene, the carriage will be here any minute.

43:43I hope I'm as blessed as they were.

43:46Can you ever doubt it?

43:48In the resources at Mr Forsyte's disposal.

43:51His willingness to uproot his entire existence for your sake.

43:54I meant that hers was a love match.

44:02And yours is?

44:04I don't yet know what to call it.

44:08He told me it would be all that I dreamt of.

44:14And more.

44:15Then I suggest you count your blessings and get dressed.

44:28Mama.

44:45My wife.

44:47I don't know what to call it.

44:49I want you to tell.

44:52I want you to tell your god.

44:57Oh my god.

44:59You want me to tell your god.

45:02You can't tell him to tell your god where you're hungry.

45:05You can't tell him to tell your god how in your eyes.

45:08You can tell him the god of yourself.

45:10I want you to tell your god in your eyes.

45:12Perhaps she's had a change of heart.

45:31If she has any sins.

45:33Mama, where is she?

45:35I don't know.

45:42I don't know.

46:12I don't know.

46:42She's a human.

46:43I don't know.

46:44I don't know.

46:45I don't know.

46:46I don't know.

46:47You've taught me a valuable lesson.

47:14Which is?

47:15To trust no one but myself, to think for myself, to do only what my heart tells me.

47:24What does it tell you?

47:27That true love is what matters, a meeting of minds, a conjunction of souls.

47:39That is what matters.

47:42We agree.

47:45What matters.

47:48What matters.

47:50What matters.

48:24You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on.

48:55From them.

49:00That wasn't what I said.

49:06It was implied.

49:08I said my commitment to you is beyond doubt.

49:11But to suggest that I've moved on from them,

49:14will be to deny that any of it mattered.

49:16Well, of course, I accept that you were once fond of her.

49:21I wasn't fond, Frances.

49:25My children were conceived of love.

49:27Then let us be clear.

49:41That love, as you call it, has no place in this house.

49:48So kill it.

49:50Once and for all.

49:54We'll face the consequences.

50:13For what?

50:18Showing me a life and a man

50:21that I never knew existed

50:24till I met you.

50:27No.

50:30Huh?

50:31No.

50:33No.

50:34I'm sorry.

50:35I'm sorry.

50:36No.

50:37No.

50:41No.
