00:01The call of duty. Is it to ourselves?
00:10Or to others?
00:14Each generation debates the dilemma.
00:21Follow the money, or follow your heart.
00:30The name of duty is used as a human being.
00:35The choice of duty is to ring the bell.
00:39The choice of duty is to do the way to the center of the center.
00:45The psyche of duty built.
00:48Move the heart of the body into the center.
00:52Handle the heart of the center.
00:55The enemy is the enemy.
00:58June and I agree. You mustn't reproach yourself.
01:05The children, it's not as if you left them unprovided for.
01:11They'll inherit a considerable sum when they reach their maturity.
01:15They will.
01:18And I understand the struggle.
01:21The power of first love, and when there are consequences...
01:24I've cut ties with her, Frances.
01:28There's nothing more to be said.
01:31And for that, June and I are grateful.
01:34So, may we now turn our attention to the Carterettes?
01:41Grace, June.
01:44Figaro, he's slower than Treacle.
01:46Yeah.
01:58I feel quite neglected.
02:03Two weeks and not even a postcard.
02:07Surely he can't be that busy.
02:08Oh, I don't know.
02:11Well, firstly, I'm enjoying the peace.
02:13So much less drama.
02:17Don't Joe would agree with you?
02:18Oh, mighty.
02:20Yes!
02:24Once the dust has settled, we need to implement the succession without delay.
02:28Why the agency?
02:29I waited a long time to become chairman.
02:41Nothing prepares you for the loneliness, the lack of a mentor, everyone waiting for you to fail.
02:48So, I want you to take on the mantle now, while I'm still here to guide you.
03:01And since Soames is away, we can use his absence.
03:07To do what?
03:07To assure the doubters that you, and not he, are the man for the job.
03:19When will you tell them?
03:21I've already written to my father.
03:30I told him Forsyth and Co. should explore new markets.
03:33But I intend to set up an office here in Paris, where I can have complete autonomy.
03:39Won't he applaud that?
03:41No.
03:42He'll want me in London.
03:44Fulfilling his lifelong ambition to thwart his brother.
03:47Oh, believe me, I do a better job than my cousin, but...
03:50I've told him I need a new challenge.
03:52You have me.
03:54Am I not challenge enough?
03:56You are.
03:59Let me see.
04:00What are you?
04:00A wild thing.
04:04A wood nymph.
04:07A goddess.
04:10I saw the samurais today.
04:13What?
04:15Where?
04:16When?
04:17In the gardens.
04:19You went out alone?
04:22I loved the early morning light.
04:25But, my darling, we're husband and wife now.
04:27We should want to do everything together.
04:28Everything?
04:32Is that not what marriage is about?
04:36Of course.
04:39Next time I'll wake you.
04:41Hmm.
04:45Ah, Forsyth.
04:46Is it true?
04:49Soames missing in action?
04:50Yes.
04:50On his honeymoon.
04:51Poor excuse, I grant you.
04:53Can I help?
04:54Hmm.
04:55Salon Gold.
04:56Sir Jimmy Buckland's venture.
04:58Soames told me it's a gold mine.
05:00Literally.
05:02Good.
05:03Count me in.
05:04To the tune of...
05:05Well, it's your choice, of course, Mr. Cully.
05:10But I'd advise against.
05:14Sir Jim has a dubious safety record.
05:17Prone to accidents and human fatalities.
05:19I really...
05:20And?
05:21If there are a few careless laborers lost down a mine.
05:25Small price to pay for such fabulous returns.
05:27Couldn't agree more.
05:28James Forsyth.
05:29Allow me to expedite your purchase this way.
05:31With me.
05:34With me.
06:01I'll be right back.
06:31Mrs. Farrington.
06:56Anna, what a lovely surprise.
06:57Oh, my dear Louisa.
07:00You don't look a day older.
07:04That's kind of you to say.
07:07How's it been?
07:08A struggle, but so much worse if you hadn't stepped in.
07:11I take no credit.
07:12I gave you a helping hand.
07:15The rest you've done yourself.
07:17Oh.
07:20How...
07:21inspiring.
07:22Inspiring.
07:23And to that end...
07:26I have a favor to beg.
07:30Of course.
07:31Anything.
07:32I hesitate to ask.
07:34It would involve a risk.
07:36And it concerns...
07:38My forthcoming fundraising event.
07:40June.
07:51June.
07:53June.
07:54Hmm.
08:03Dar Philip of Culver Street.
08:06June Renegade of High Park.
08:07Thanks.
08:29I thought you might not come.
08:30It was very impertinent of you to ask me.
08:32But perhaps you think the rules of polite society don't apply to us.
08:35Perhaps they think they're petty.
08:37Parochial?
08:38Irrational.
08:42Seriously, can men and women not be friends?
08:46Do friends accept gifts?
08:52Cute.
08:56Recite me one.
09:02When old age shall this generation waste, thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou sayest.
09:10Beauty is truth.
09:12Truth, beauty.
09:13That is all you know on earth.
09:15And all you need to know.
09:23Where shall we live?
09:26Versailles.
09:28The Tuileries.
09:29The Champs-Elysées.
09:31When I was tiny, we lived in three rooms above a baker's shop.
09:40And my father bought me a canary.
09:44But my mother said that wild things should never be kept in cages.
09:49So she let it fly away.
09:50No doubt to be eaten by a cat.
09:57Well, three rooms won't do for us.
10:00We shall need to entertain.
10:03Forge connections.
10:04Oh, now you're about to discover my guilty secret.
10:08My mum never taught me how to play the hostess.
10:12That's it.
10:13Our marriage is over.
10:14You realise we'll have a housekeeper?
10:19The servants?
10:20And your mother will think me woefully lacking.
10:23I'm sure she already thinks I've led you astray.
10:26Led me astray?
10:30Have you?
10:33My father taught me university was a waste of time and money.
10:37Likewise, Europe.
10:39The Grand Tour.
10:40So at 16, I was on the floor of the stock exchange.
10:45Learning the ropes.
10:47Oh, don't mistake me.
10:48None of it was wasted.
10:49But...
10:50Now...
10:53is my duty to the company...
10:58or to myself.
11:00Well, I don't know.
11:10You haven't led me astray.
11:15You've set me free.
11:34Someone's all of aglow.
11:37Must be the ride.
11:38The wind was bracing.
11:41Suits you.
11:42You should go more often.
11:45Well...
11:45I think I will.
11:46So, the hunt is on.
12:05Yes.
12:06Will it be a chase?
12:08Or a trap?
12:09Yes.
12:09Frances will have it all planned.
12:12She learnt from the master.
12:13Yes.
12:13Utterly brazen.
12:16Might as well stick her on a plate with an apple in her mouth.
12:19Olivia sends her regrets.
12:22She's visiting the Fitzgeralds.
12:24She and young Anthony have formed an attachment.
12:27Oh, how delightful.
12:28That was quick.
12:30Poor Cyril finds it all so confusing.
12:33Shall we find you a little treat?
12:35Oh, don't you?
12:36There we are.
12:36Have you met Mrs. Parker Barrington?
12:41She's back in London.
12:42I'd be happy to introduce you.
12:44Oh, no.
12:45No need.
12:46I knew her in Geneva when she was first married.
12:49Sweet girl.
12:51Husband an absolute stick.
12:54She and I hiked the Matterhorn together.
12:56And I understand you have an extensive collection of moths.
13:09Yes.
13:10I've been longing to know, what distinguishes a moth from a butterfly?
13:15Oh, well, in fact, they do have things in common.
13:18Both belong to the Lepidoptera species.
13:21From the Greek, Lepis, meaning scale, and Terran, meaning wing.
13:25Fascinating.
13:25Fascinating.
13:31Well, that could hardly have gone better.
13:35June was transformed.
13:38You did her very proud.
13:41Susplendid evening.
13:43Do you really think she's had a change of heart?
13:45It would certainly make things easier.
13:55Soames.
14:17I trust he's announcing his imminent return.
14:27Good evening.
14:47All right.
14:50not coming home
14:58on my heart i shall faint

16:29she's asked me to donate to her charity
16:33for the reclamation of fallen women
16:36and i wondered whether you might be persuaded
16:39to join us
16:41of course

18:20My friends, I'm going to go to ballet.
18:22Yvette, Colette, Patrice Victor.
18:24Hello, Paris.
18:26Hello, welcome.
18:28Hello.
18:30Hello, welcome.
18:32Let's go.
18:34Come on, everyone.
18:38Oh, my dear friends.
18:42Oh, it's beautiful.
18:44Champagne?
18:46We celebrate, right?
18:48No.
18:50We should try our home speciality.
18:52The absinthe.
18:56Come on, let's go.
18:58Come on, let's go.
19:00Come on, let's go.
19:02Come on, let's go.
19:04Oh!
19:06Oh!
19:08Oh!
19:10Oh!
19:12Oh!
19:14Oh!
19:16Oh!
19:17Oh!
19:18Oh!
19:19Oh!
19:20Oh!
19:21Oh!
19:23Oh!
19:24Oh!
19:25Oh!
19:27Oh!
19:29Oh!
19:34How could I be so stupid?
19:36I thought if I appeared compliant, then Mama would be more sympathetic,
19:44would take my wishes into account, but now that's...
19:46Frampton Park.
19:48Yes.
19:50That can only mean one thing.
19:54He intends to propose.
20:06I suppose we'll never meet again.
20:10I wish it could be otherwise.
20:14Perhaps you should marry me.
20:18I think I'd prefer it.
20:24No, I really would prefer it.
20:28June, let's be serious.
20:30How on earth would we live?
20:31I'd have my settlement.
20:32There'll be no settlement.
20:34If your father refuses his consent, and believe me, he will.
20:36Then we'll run away.
20:38And live on what?
20:39I have debts.
20:40No reputation.
20:42I'm yet to secure a meaningful commission.
20:43Sometimes I live on Coco for a week.
20:44None of this matters if we love each other.
20:51I shouldn't have said that.
20:54But you did.
20:55And so...
20:57And so...
21:07So...
21:34C'est génial.
21:36Monsieur.
21:37Quand aura-t-on le plaisir de vous voir danser avec nous?
21:39Oui, de suite.
21:40Oui, l'on a join-t-on at the court du ballet.
21:41J'ai une lettre de référence de madame Leneur-Arlandre.
21:45C'est pas vrai!
21:46If I can join-t-on at the start of the new season.
21:47La cintée Gisèle.
21:50Champagne.
21:52Mais que vois-je?
21:53Vous n'aimez pas l'absence?
21:54Voilà.
21:55One can have too much of a good thing.
21:56La cintée Gisèle.
21:57La cintée Gisèle.
21:58La cintée Gisèle.
21:59La cintée Gisèle.
22:00La cintée Gisèle.
22:01La cintée Gisèle.
22:02La cintée Gisèle.
22:03La cintée Gisèle.
22:04La cintée Gisèle.
22:05La cintée Gisèle.
22:06La cintée Gisèle.
22:07La cintée Gisèle.
22:08La cintée Gisèle.
22:09La cintée Gisèle.
22:10La cintée Gisèle.
22:11La cintée Gisèle.
22:12So, do you intend to make a habit of advising clients against surefire investment?
22:22What's this?
22:23Salon Gold, as predicted.
22:26Colossal profits.
22:27But it seems Joe is unable to conquer his squeamishness.
22:31I doubt I will.
22:32You should ask Darty.
22:33Sure he's made of sterner stuff?
22:35Did I hear my name?
22:36Sir Jimmy Buckland's gold mine.
22:39Shares currently showing a 40% uplift.
22:42Ooh, I like the sound of that.
22:50The purpose of this firm is solely to make a profit for its clients.
22:55But if the heir apparent shows queasiness at its methods,
23:00is he really acting in our best interest?
23:08It appears Horatio Carteret is partial to June.
23:18Well, think of that.
23:21When we go to Frampton Park, I believe he will ask for her hand.
23:26And he's the heir.
23:28Which eventually means, of course, that June herself will be Lady Carteret.
23:31Just what those high and mighties need.
23:35A bit of spark and personality.
23:38Feather on your cap, my dear.
23:40And to you too, June, of course.
23:43Assuming her father consents?
23:46Why wouldn't he?
23:48Can you think of a reason?
23:51Not unless June can.
23:52My love?
24:00Sorry.
24:01It was miles away.
24:02What was the question?
24:05Is there any reason I shouldn't consent to you marrying Horatio Carteret?
24:11Yes.
24:12I believe there is.
24:13On account of the fact that I'm already engaged.
24:16His name's Philip Vecini.
24:21He's an architect.
24:22One of the new school and very bright.
24:25He lives on Culver Street.
24:27It's also his office.
24:29He's still awaiting his first commission, but he's so talented.
24:33He's sure to be in great demand once the while.
24:34Darling, that's enough.
24:37No one finds this remotely amusing.
24:39I don't know.
24:41I met him at the opera.
24:42He's a modernist and utterly rejects outmoded traditions, such as...
24:47Asking your father for his daughter's hand before he proposes?
24:51Well, actually, I proposed.
24:55Well, of course you did.
24:58Am I to understand there's actually some truth to this ridiculous...
25:03June, what are you doing?
25:07Following my heart.
25:11Oh, dear.
25:12But how did...
25:13Where could you tell her?
25:16It's out of the question.
25:17June.
25:18A word, please.
25:28Did you know anything about this?
25:30Why would I?
25:32We know she likes to confide in you.
25:35Perhaps you thought I'd disapprove.
25:38Which, obviously, you do.
25:39No.
25:39You don't understand.
25:47He's not like anyone I've ever known.
25:49He cares about things that matter, about right and wrong.
25:53He doesn't want to control me.
25:54He wants me to be just who I am.
25:56And that's unlike anyone you've ever known?
25:58Yes.
25:58So I should meet him.
26:07So I should meet him.
26:07But who does he know.
26:16He canب Valetian.
26:17Because I don't understand.
26:18No.
26:19He says he can.
26:19He said,
26:20Well, I'm serious.
26:20Let me know.
26:21But I should happens.
27:22What is it?
27:47Why are you looking at me like that?
27:54May a man not look upon his most treasured possession.
27:57Am I really such a thing?
28:02And more.
28:02How could I have done this?
28:20Failed to communicate the foresight imperative.
28:23Seize the crown, lead, instead of playing second fiddle.
28:34What's been the point of my life if not to set my son on the chair?
28:36Is that what you put in your telegram?
28:41Obviously not.
28:43I told him if he didn't take the next train home from Paris, I'd come and drag him home by his earload.
28:47Oh, well, that'll do it.
28:57This way, sir.
28:59Oh, Mr. Bassini.
29:10Please.
29:10Ladies, you've done me the honor of inviting me to join your campaign.
29:25And while I suspect that the scale of my donation may have influenced your choice,
29:30I hope I may have something more than guineas to offer.
29:36No doubt you think we'd be presumptuous, daring to aspire to the hand of an heiress.
29:53As you can see, my cuffs are frayed, my coat is worn, and to demonstrate the gulf between us,
29:57you invite me to a place whose membership is four times my annual salary.
30:01Actually, I chose it because it's around the corner from your office.
30:06Tell me about yourself.
30:17I'm a radical.
30:19I've declined bow to convention.
30:24My family's undistinguished.
30:26My studies have left me in debt.
30:27So if you've come here to tell me that I must look elsewhere, I can...
30:30I've come here to ask why you love my daughter.
30:33I've never met anyone like her.
30:41We see the world in the same way.
30:44She's spirited and brave.
30:48And yes, I love her.
30:50And if you don't believe me, then...
30:51Oh, what if I do believe you?
30:53You've supported this cause long before I arrived.
30:58The hostels you fund for the women you save.
31:02The clergy you pay to instruct them in the error of their ways.
31:06The homes you find amongst the childless gentry for their wretched offspring.
31:11No one can doubt the rigor of your purpose.
31:14But what is the ultimate aim of your charity?
31:18Punishment?
31:19Moral superiority?
31:21Or material assistance?
31:23Let me introduce to you a lady whose history you may find instructive.
31:30Some of you know me.
31:37You honour me with your custom.
31:40I'm kind enough to invite me into your homes.
31:43Ten years ago, I was penniless.
31:45Homeless.
31:47Mrs. Parker Barrington heard of my distress.
31:51She could have judged me.
31:53Made a reckoning of my failings.
31:55But instead, she asked me how she could help.
31:57She found me lodgings, a midwife, sustenance.
32:01She asked me what skills I possessed and employed me as a dressmaker.
32:04Recommended me to her friends.
32:06Many of you have helped to make me what I am today.
32:10Not a burden on society, but a contributor.
32:15Heartwarming story.
32:17But there's a vast difference between you and the women that we try to help.
32:23You are not what we call fallen.
32:24And if I was, would I deserve the workhouse?
32:28My children removed.
32:29Myself consigned to penitence and shame.
32:32Widowhood and poverty are not sins.
32:42I wasn't a widow.
32:43My children were born out of wedlock.
32:50Their father...
32:51...died...
33:01...before they were born.
33:03And how do you judge me?
33:11Do I appear less deserving to you now?
33:15Not to me.
33:18And not, I hope, to any here.
33:40Forgive me, I must go.
34:10You don't strike me as a fortune hunter.
34:18How would you support her?
34:21Oh, well, that is, at present, and I can't, but I have prospects, I'm currently seeking
34:27a major commission, but is money the be-all and end-all?
34:32It is for those who are used to it.
34:37I can't agree to this marriage.
34:40Until you've completed your first commission, till then I consent to an engagement.
34:51I have no doubt we'll be seeing a lot of each other.
35:06I'm here in my diamonds.
35:18I'm here now.
35:20You agreed to an engagement?
35:28Why?
35:29He's impulsive, argumentative, and currently without means.
35:34It could be years before he makes his first commission.
35:37By then, the romance would have lost its sheen, or stood the test of time.
35:42And you're willing to take that chance?
35:48What is this?
35:50You living vicariously?
35:53Allowing June to do what you always regretted not doing?
35:59I just...
36:00I'm holding at peace with my decision.
36:04I knew it.
36:10You were never going to consent because you've no idea how it feels to truly follow your heart.
36:20So go on.
36:21Tell me.
36:22We give you permission to get engaged.
36:33She...
36:34And now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier.
36:47No, no, no, you pause off the table, but you know the reason.
36:56Is there a pact to lower the tone of this family?
37:00First Soames, now June.
37:04There's no one regard for pedigree.
37:06You'll note the lack of announcement.
37:09June's engagement?
37:10No surprise.
37:12I wouldn't advertise such a mismatch.
37:15No wonder the engagement parties close family only.
37:18Poor Frances had such high hopes.
37:21She must be so disappointed.
37:29Did I ever tell you that when I was five, I fell into the Seine?
37:33Where were your parents?
37:34Beside me.
37:36But I could swim, so my mother was happy for me to take risks.
37:38She was a gambler?
37:40Like you?
37:41With other people's money?
37:43I take calculated risks.
37:45No.
37:46Like chancing your happiness for someone you barely know.
37:51Come with me.
37:53I have a surprise.
37:58Isaac mentioned June's engagement.
38:00Oh, we couldn't be more delighted.
38:02Of course, June could have had her pick, but we believe that young people should follow their hearts.
38:07Oh, I wholly agree.
38:10I want to thank you for joining us the other day.
38:13I hope you were persuaded of the cause.
38:17Dear Louisa, she's such a shining example of what can be achieved.
38:22Yes.
38:23Yes.
38:24Very commendable.
38:25Still, it's a struggle with two little ones to take care of.
38:30And when they both go down with a fever...
38:32Well, I'm so sorry.
38:33I have to dash.
38:34I'm expected at the Devonshire's for luncheon.
38:48Are they very sick?
38:50Scarlet fever, apparently.
38:53Poor darlings.
38:54But tell me, how is dear Isaac?
38:59Thank you, Susan.
39:00Thank you, Susan.
39:01Thank you so much.
39:02Yes, thank you.
39:04Thank you, Susan.
41:19And when we're settled in our new apartment, should we invite your family to come visit?
41:35Yes.
41:37Yes.
41:39Yes, of course.
41:40My love, there's something I haven't mentioned.
41:44A telegram from my father.
41:47Is he well?
41:48Is he well?
41:49Beside himself.
41:50Huh?
41:51That I told him my plans in a letter when I should have done it face to face.
41:55What was I thinking?
41:57I believe I must return.
41:58I believe I must return.
42:02Cat, short our honeymoon.
42:05And my audition, should I rearrange?
42:07By all means.
42:08But you must see I owe my father an explanation.
42:10I'm a person.
42:15Of course.
42:17Of course, I do see that.
42:20So let's return to London and settle things.
42:25Once and for all.
42:27Come on.
42:28Come on.
42:29Come on.
42:30Come on.
42:31Come on.
42:32Come on.
42:33Come on.
42:34Come on.
42:35Come on.
42:36Come on.
42:37Very kind.
42:54How do we know that this fellow isn't some money-gly?
42:57A grubbing opportunist.
43:00What is Frances thinking?
43:03She will know that when the heart is set on something,
43:06the more it's forbidden, the more it's craved.
43:11Surely you don't imagine June wants this boy just to prove she can have it?
43:17I once knew a couple of young men who pursued the same girl,
43:22simply so the other wouldn't get her.
43:27Let me fetch you a drink.
43:44Something amiss?
43:45What?
43:47Nothing to concern you.
43:52No one would believe we used to be best of friends.
43:54It was a long time ago.
43:57Before the old man pitied us against each other.
44:01Yes. Shape up, make sacrifices.
44:05Was it a sacrifice?
44:07For you?
44:09Alexandra.
44:12No more than it was for you.
44:18Do you sometimes wonder where she disappeared to?
44:22As do I.
44:24Still, it all turned out for the best.
44:29Emily and you?
44:32Edith and I?
44:34Yes.
44:35Splendid women.
44:40Saved us from ourselves.
44:48I almost feel sorry for him.
44:50Don't.
44:51Don't.
44:52Did you see his hat?
44:53I left it on a chair and Emily mistook it for a cat.
45:00Uncle James, you look as if you'd like to commission a new house and here's Phil just brimming with clever ideas.
45:07I suspect your uncle's perfectly content with his own house.
45:09But should the opportunity ever arise, I'm sure you could come to my office and view my portfolio.
45:14There, now.
45:15What a kind invitation.
45:19Well, here we are.
45:22Frances and I ask you to join us in raising a glass to the newly engaged couple.
45:26June and Philip.
45:28June and Philip.
45:29June and Philip.
45:37How to thwart a rebel.
45:39Take away their cause.
45:56Good evening.
45:57Good evening.
45:58I'm sure.
45:59Good evening.
46:16Good evening.
46:51Are they?
47:04Please tell me they're not.
47:07They're not.
47:09Their fever's past. They're sleeping.
47:14Thank God.
