00:00Is the heart capable of boundless love?
00:15Or as it gives to one, does it take from another?
00:30Must there always be winners and losers?
00:44Can you still lose?
00:48Even when you think you've won?
00:57And is the game of love
00:59Ever really over?
01:20Here, let me
01:23Leave it on
01:38It suits you
01:40For God's sake, stop fiddling!
01:59Here
02:00Get out
02:02Stupid girl, she's hopeless
02:07Here, let me
02:09Any word from Papa?
02:20I haven't given him much thought
02:22Do we think Joe will come skulking back in time?
02:37I can't fathom what possessed him to leave home at all
02:40It's all waltzing round the office, bold as brass
02:42Poor Frances
02:44She's done her best, but she's never managed to tame him
02:47Of course, you scarcely know them
02:48But trust me, Frances will be smarting
02:50Please continue
02:55Of what will we speak in?
02:59Of how no one knows what goes on inside a marriage
03:06Except the two people in it
03:08I beg to differ
03:11What you and Soames have is plain for all to see
03:15We're off to the park
03:17Would you care to join us?
03:20That's kind, but I'm meeting June
03:22What fun
03:23So lovely that June has a companion her own age
03:26Shall we go?
03:30Your wife has a mind of her own
03:33But isn't that why you married her?
03:40Of course
03:41I, um, a man got carried away
04:05Glad I was spared
04:06Well, I should leave you in peace
04:12Move into my club
04:14No, you don't need to do that
04:16But maybe you should ask Frances to reconsider her terms
04:19Dear Frances, where have you been?
04:39No one's seen you or dear Julian in weeks
04:41We've been enjoying the peace and quiet of home
04:43Then perhaps you've not heard
04:45Our own dear Horatio
04:47Engaged to young Countess Avery
04:50Fellow moth enthusiast
04:52Sweet girl
04:53Who matches him in temperament
04:55And rank
04:56And how is June?
04:58And Soames
04:59You four sights make such bold matrimonial choices
05:02Shall we see you at the Parker Barringtons?
05:05If you prefer to keep a low profile
05:08I do understand
05:09Pure speculation
05:19But if people are starting to question
05:23Where are we going?
05:36You must promise not to tell
05:38Because Soames would be furious
05:39Soames?
06:01Isn't she enchanting?
06:02Yes, join me
06:08Good morning, sir
06:19Julian
06:20Will you be making an appearance at the gala?
06:26He will indeed, cousin
06:27In fact, he will be giving the opening address
06:30It is, after all, the 50th anniversary
06:33And so highly appropriate
06:34For the heir apparent at this great juncture
06:37In our company's history
06:38To lay out his vision for the future
06:41As for your marital situation
06:45It is not ideal
06:47So mend it
06:52Then return home to your excellent wife
06:54Who has done absolutely nothing to merit
06:56Your desertion
06:57And thus allay
06:58Any doubts
06:59About your fitness to
07:00Is this actually something you want?
07:03As in?
07:04Did you ever really intend to retire?
07:06Why would you doubt it?
07:06Because you're still young
07:07And the fact that you keep pushing me
07:10Tells you that I was nowhere near ready
07:12To take a back seat
07:12Well, perhaps you're right
07:13But having seen you make
07:16The right call
07:17When I so spectacularly failed to do so
07:20I am content
07:23With my decision
07:24It's been a struggle
07:39But trust me, I have a plan
07:41Oh, my dear
07:43You and I understand each other
07:45Always have
07:45Knew from the moment we met
07:47That you would be the jewel in our crown
07:49Our task now
07:51Is to bring the boy home
07:52In time for the gala
07:53Leave that to me
07:55I'd like to thank you
08:06For allowing us to what you've done
08:07My pleasure
08:09No
08:10Would you excuse me, Pop?
08:13No, I swear
08:14You wouldn't
08:15Oh, I would
08:17My dear
08:17Shall we go?
08:21Must we?
08:23Hmm
08:23You used to say you never wanted children
08:43I also said I wanted to live in a hut in Tahiti
08:46And paint sunsets
08:47What happened to that plan, eh?
08:51At least I'll get to watch your child grow up
08:53And have some influence in their life
08:55Try not to set a
08:58Bad example
08:59And to your own children?
09:03I think we both know you still have much to give
09:05You seem a little out of sorts
09:26Perhaps I'm still mourning
09:30Your father?
09:31My life
09:33Or rather the one I was promised
09:35My dear
09:37Need we revisit this?
09:39Paris was a beautiful dream
09:41Which you led me to believe you shared
09:42But for reasons beyond our control
09:44We are here
09:44And there is much to be grateful for
09:48There is
09:49But I cannot pretend it's what I would have chosen
09:52Last O Five

10:20Ho
10:21Red
10:22I take it you don't expect visitors
10:35no not as a rule
10:41I have a question
10:42yes
10:43why would a gentleman trust the architect of such
10:47squalor
10:49with the design and build of a country house
10:52well if you're at all familiar with the creative process
10:54I'm familiar with the works of great artists
10:56then you'll appreciate
10:58that chaos can be the mother of inspiration
11:00and in your
11:03inspired
11:05opinion
11:07were a gentleman to contemplate
11:10the commissioning of a country house
11:11where would he begin
11:13you have a visitor
11:19waiting in the boardroom
11:21Harry Faulkner
11:35yes
11:38your father and uncle refused to offer compensation
11:41so you will cover his losses
11:44from funds that I'll provide
11:46why would you provide
11:47call it a moral obligation
11:50your late grandfather and I
11:53we
11:54we knew his mother
11:56who was she
11:57after she fell on hard times
11:59your grandfather provided a home
12:01a family
12:02a trust for the child
12:03which has recently matured
12:06and was squandered
12:07on your uncle's advice
12:08in the goldmine debacle
12:10and the child's father
12:11I couldn't tell you
12:13couldn't or
12:16won't
12:17kindly make the necessary arrangements
12:23and while you're at it
12:26yes
12:26your own affairs
12:28get a grip on them dear
12:31it'll be the making of you
12:33how many years have you been
12:54let's do it
13:20What a flattering gown, Miss Louisa.
13:37Alas, no.
13:39I was obliged to discontinue our arrangement.
13:42Service was disappointing.
13:45Oh, you surprise me.
13:47I find her excellent.
13:48Although, tediously, she's now moved to the back of beyond.
13:52Can't imagine why.
13:54Perhaps she feared condemnation after her brave confession.
13:58So courageous, indeed.
14:00The cause of fallen women, such a complex one.
14:04Is it not?
14:09What is this place?
14:14I believe it's called Robin Hill.
14:18Your experience is limited.
14:24I've graduated top of my year.
14:28Youthful enthusiasm is no substitute for skill.
14:31One certainly wouldn't wish to pay a premium for it.
14:34Indeed.
14:34One would expect that any fee, however small, would be gratefully seized upon.
14:40Then one would be mistaken.
14:41I do not underestimate my worth, however others may choose to.
14:45So, an uncritical presumption of need.
14:58A commitment to provide unconditional support, so that these women can begin to help themselves.
15:06As dear Louisa has demonstrated.
15:08And yet, might some of these women benefit more from an atonement-based model?
15:18Atonement?
15:19Interesting word.
15:20As you know, our aim is never to judge, but to support.
15:26Whether or not they deserve it.
15:29But I know I speak for many when I say that to ignore some of the damage done by these women to decent, upstanding families is an obstacle to many who might wish to contribute.
15:40Perhaps you should form your own charity, won the prizes, correction and penance, above indiscriminate handouts.
15:49I wish you luck.
15:55I sense you have your reasons.
16:01You must do what you think best.
16:10When could you commence?
16:32I'm sorry?
16:33You wish to...
16:34Commission some preliminary drawings, so that I may assess your suitability.
16:38At once, if you wish.
16:43You will, however, refrain from discussing our arrangement with anyone.
16:49Particularly my wife.
16:51You understand that this is to be a surprise?
16:55Of course.
17:08What is it?
17:22Tell me.
17:24I was ordered not to say.
17:27By who?
17:28Sam's foresight?
17:31What on earth could he have to say?
17:33Hey.
18:00Hey.
18:01May I speak with your mama?
18:04Mama went out.
18:06Oh.
18:07Will you come in?
18:08I'll ask Hannah to make some tea.
18:12Yes.
18:13But only for a moment.
18:23You like painting.
18:24I do.
18:25But mama says I must practice more.
18:31Well, these are excellent.
18:33I mean, you really capture the bird's feathers.
18:36Well, master, do you're good at drawing?
18:39Will you draw us?
18:46I could.
18:50No, no, no, no.
18:51You go on painting.
18:59May I?
19:01Yeah.
19:01Yes.
19:15Much better than Joss.
19:17May we keep it?
19:19Mama will love it.
19:21I know something she'd like.
19:22Okay.
19:22Are you not bursting with joy?
19:48Well, I know it's meant to be a secret, but of course you know.
19:51Phil's commission to build a house for you and Soames.
19:54Well, they agreed yesterday.
19:56Sorry, what?
19:57Did Soames not mention that...
20:00Oh, my God.
20:02I'm so sorry.
20:03Phil said it was a secret, but I never thought from you.
20:07You have to pretend.
20:08When Soames tells you, look surprised or he'll be furious with me.
20:11But isn't it just the best of news?
20:14Of course, I can get married.
20:16You get abused with your new house and Phil is such a damn thing.
20:19I know I'm designing your house.
20:20Mrs. Forsyte?
20:37Is your husband...
20:38No.
20:40Are you coming?
20:46Is this about the commission?
20:48No.
20:49Yes.
20:50I hardly know.
20:52Do you have questions?
20:54Many.
20:54About the design?
20:55About the site.
20:57And the purpose.
20:59The site I can answer for.
21:0030 miles from London.
21:01Spectacular views.
21:02No other dwelling for miles around.
21:03As for the purpose...
21:09Is that not obvious?
21:14I shouldn't have come.
21:15I should be congratulating you and June.
21:18Your wedding can be sooner.
21:20Yes.
21:20I'm glad.
21:22It means the world to her.
21:26I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
21:33Mrs. Forsyte?
21:42Mrs. Forsyte?
21:44Forgive me.
21:47I could pretend to misunderstand your distress, but who would that serve?
21:49It was wrong of me to involve you.
21:52But how can I proceed?
21:53Knowing that what I've been commissioned to build will effectively be your prison.
21:56That's not the word I used.
22:00It was implied.
22:01And it's not inaccurate.
22:13Then all that remains is to find a way to make a graceful exit.
22:17What?
22:18What do you mean?
22:19But I can't be the one that will...
22:22Helloat your husband and devastate June.
22:25I must make him withdraw of his own accord.
22:28But June will be distraught.
22:29And you?
22:30It's your first commission.
22:31I'm arrogant enough to believe there'll soon be another.
22:37I really don't know what to say.
22:46Say absolutely nothing.
22:47Mama!
23:03We have a surprise for you.
23:12Close your eyes.
23:13Open your eyes.
23:27Do you like it, Mama?
23:30Uh, go and play outside.
23:41Do we have to?
23:41Yes, please.
23:42Please.
23:42I'll be like, Mama.
23:57I'm sorry.
23:58Yes, I'm sorry.
23:59I'm sorry.
24:00I can't be bothered.
24:01I can't be bothered.
24:01I'm sorry.
24:02I can't be bothered.
24:02I can't be bothered.
24:03I can't be worried or lest.
24:04You're right.
24:04I can't be bothered.
24:05Yes?
24:20I've brought some preliminary designs with costings.
24:25Your efficiency bodes well.
24:35Some mistake, surely.
24:39As in several not too many.
24:41To design a property befitting the status and the magnitude of a gentleman such as yourself.
24:45I ask you to build me a house, not the Palace of Westminster.
24:48I cannot in all conscience reduce the scale and thus the cost by a single penny.
24:52Then you have done yourself out of a commission, sir.
24:54Mr Bassini.
24:55Was just leaving.
24:56Good day to you both.
25:02Why was he here?
25:03I had thoughts of commissioning a house.
25:05We have a house.
25:06Of our own.
25:07Away from these prying, gossiping...
25:10Who do you mean?
25:10Your family has been nothing but kind.
25:12My thought was to remove ourselves from the city altogether.
25:15To the countryside where we might have room to breathe.
25:19And Mr Bassini has been unable to deliver that vision?
25:22Unfortunately, yes.
25:23The arrogant young pup has just priced himself out of the market.
25:32You asked to see me?
25:56Ah, yes.
25:57To see if you've come to your senses.
26:04Or are you still minded to favour your mistress over your wife?
26:08She's not my mistress.
26:09People make assumptions.
26:11No one knows of our previous attachment and now that our connection is platonic.
26:15Despite the fact that you left our home.
26:19You know why I left our home?
26:21Because I couldn't agree to cease contact with my children.
26:28Well.
26:31As to that.
26:32I might be willing to reconsider.
26:53Reconsider how?
26:54I give a little.
27:01You give a little.
27:04We both want the same thing.
27:06You.
27:09Home.
27:12In time for the gala.
27:25Harry Falkenor.
27:27Yes?
27:27Writing to thank us for reimbursing his losses.
27:31What?
27:32Did you have something to do with this?
27:34Hardly.
27:35Did you?
27:35Absolutely not.
27:38Then who?
27:39Then why?
27:43Quite a mystery.
27:46Yes.
27:54I was thinking about that day we met.
28:22Seems an age ago.
28:25And still we.
28:27Barely know each other.
28:29I disagree.
28:34Perhaps it's that we.
28:36Just want such different things.
28:40Is this about Paris?
28:41Paris is when I first realised.
28:42What?
28:44How.
28:47Unalike we are.
28:54I look forward to seeing what you've chosen for the gala.
29:08It's important to make an impact.
29:10You should wear your new necklace.
29:14it's important to see what you've chosen for the gala.
29:15Yes.
29:16Yes.
29:17Slightly alarming.
29:29Talk of Joe returning home.
29:32If we can't play the Tarnishing the Company reputation card...
29:35Thought I should mention planning to make a splash at the grand event.
29:39So if you'd like me to give the address.
29:41Next generation rising like salmon to scale the rapids of opportunity.
29:45Yes, thank you. I'll bear that in mind.
29:47What's this I hear?
29:49You treating us to your vision for the future at our gala.
29:52I can hardly wait.
29:54Care to give us a taster?
29:56Not especially.
29:57Well, let me guess.
29:58Profit is the devil.
30:00Caution is king.
30:01And if our clients lose money, it's up to us to bail them out.
30:04If it's due to us giving poor advice, then yes.
30:06Nothing to do with their own greed or willful ignorance.
30:09Everything to do with our obligation to urge them not to put their eggs in one basket.
30:12No matter how guaranteed the returns or by how much commission we stand to make.
30:17And to say otherwise is just...
30:19Yes?
30:20What is it?
30:22Morally bankrupt.
30:26That's priceless.
30:28Our would-be chair, the most degenerate member of the firm,
30:31presumes to preach morality to the rest of us.
30:34To the man who knowingly capsized the Durham Mining Company,
30:37thereby ruining their investors,
30:38including his own future father-in-law,
30:41making his wife-to-be destitute.
30:46She doesn't know, does she?
30:50And this from the man,
30:51who's conveniently jilted his wife,
30:54so he can debauch his mistress
30:55and fawn over his brats!
31:07Is this the type of leadership you're after?
31:08Yes?
31:51Julian is late.
31:57No, my love, I really think you might be happier if you left me.
32:02And how was the garden party?
32:04I heard it was exquisite.
32:05Yes, it was.
32:05Shall I invite you?
32:08I like my day classes.
32:10Quite like a ginger ale, Charlie.
32:14You're a scrumptious distraction in the heart.
32:18I'll see you.
32:20You're a scrumptious distraction in the heart.
32:22It's only one seat.
32:24Hey!
32:24Is Julian proposing to make some sort of grand entrance?
32:43You'll be here, rest assured.
32:44Exciting.
32:45Where's Joe?
32:49Did he not leave, were you?
32:50He left ahead of me.
32:52I thought he'd be here.
32:55Right.
32:56It's so exciting.
32:58I can't quite believe it.
33:00I'm getting married, Phil.
33:01Aren't you just thrilled beyond words?
33:03I know Mama has plenty of plans already.
33:05Don't excuse me.
33:06From Sose?
33:18You guessed.
33:21Reminds me of one my late husband gave me.
33:25Haven't worn it in years.
33:26We had a splendid time today.
33:27Oh.
33:30You've been done, Mrs. Forsythe.
33:36You have so much time.
33:41Soames has reconsidered the commission.
33:47Reconsidered?
33:48Does he not like the design?
33:50He dislikes the price.
33:52Reduce it?
33:53Cannot be done.
33:54Not without detriment to the plans.
33:55What about our plans?
33:56There are other considerations.
33:57Well, think of Irene.
33:58How will she feel?
33:59I am thinking of Irene.
34:03I suspect she may not be as keen on the ideas, so...
34:07Oh.
34:12Well, it is true.
34:13We'd hardly ever see each other.
34:15And we'd be just the two of them.
34:18But our wedding, I can't bear the thought of having to wait.
34:21Nor I.
34:22But Mr. Bassini, on further consideration,
34:24I believe the site will suit me well.
34:26Let us proceed.
34:27I'm sorry?
34:29You will build me a house at Robin Hill.
34:30I knew you'd come.
34:57Well, your father was right.
34:58We shouldn't have doubted you.
35:01And I've been at fault,
35:03issuing ultimatums,
35:05forcing you to make a choice
35:06when you'd have come to your senses of your own accord.
35:08Francis...
35:08We can salvage this.
35:10Our marriage.
35:12Your ascension.
35:13This is our moment.
35:15Francis, I'm sorry.
35:20For everything you worked for,
35:22everything you've done,
35:23you deserve a better return.
35:26Return.
35:30I do.
35:32I cannot give it.
35:36Yesterday, it struck me.
35:39Battling with Psalms,
35:40fighting to impose my will on the company.
35:43My heart's not in it.
35:47Never was.
35:47I don't understand.
35:52What are you saying?
35:58Then I'll never cease to love you.
36:02Respect, admire.
36:03I'll provide for you.
36:04I'll never return to the phone.
36:12Nor this house.
36:12I'll never return to the phone.
36:13Nor this house.
36:14I'll never return to the phone.
36:38I'll never return to the phone.
36:39I'll never return to the phone.
36:42I'm sorry.
36:52I tried.
36:58You're very kind.
37:01What kind?
37:04It's just...
37:07The thought of you being with...
37:12I won't give up.
37:16I swear it.
37:19I can't.
37:42There will be no divorce.
37:48Your children will not be legitimized.
37:54You will suffer rejection from the family.
37:58The firm.
37:59From all of London.
38:09I accept that.
38:10I thought I'd molded you into something resembling a rational being.
38:26I was mistaken.
38:32So go.
38:35You were once interesting to me.
38:41Now you bore me.
38:43Goodbye, Francis.
38:53Goodbye, Francis.
38:53I'm curious.
38:54Oh, my God.
39:24Where is he? Is he coming?
39:43I've been looking all over for the man of the hour. Where is dear Jolyon?
39:47I'm afraid he's just been called away.
39:49What such an auspicious day. How disappointing for you all.
39:56A small inconvenience. I trust we're more than capable of enjoying the festivities in his absence.
40:03Mr. Cole, I wonder if I might call upon you to transact some business for me?
40:09Yes, of course.
40:10My late father left a property in Camden which has lain empty for many years. I propose to donate it to the charity.
40:17Well, that's most generous.
40:20For conversion into suitable accommodation for needy women.
40:23Of course, I'm no expert, but perhaps you could advise me in matters legal and beyond.
40:30It'll be a pleasure.
40:32Impressive performance.
40:34Isn't that how the higher species evolve?
40:36By their ability to adapt.
40:38I suspect you and I will work very well together.
40:54So, Jo's bolted.
40:56Shall I step in, say a few words, hand over to Soames and passing the torch, all that?
41:02Well, I think on balance, no.
41:07No?
41:08I prefer to do the honours myself.
41:10Pray silence for Her Illustrious Highness, Mrs. Anne Euphemia Isadora Foresight.
41:40Dear friends, no doubt you are expecting an address from one of the male members of this firm.
41:49Instead, you have me.
41:52Perfectly placed to judge the merits and the demerits of this formidable clan.
41:59Since my arrival, there have been many newcomers to the Foresight ranks.
42:03All of you will have wondered what you were letting yourself in for, before becoming Foresights in your own right.
42:13So, what defines this family?
42:19What is a Foresight?
42:22A Foresight is someone who knows the value of loyalty.
42:27Foresight is someone who knows the value of loyalty, and family, and repute.
42:36We are tenacious.
42:38We are survivors.
42:41And we should never, ever be underestimated.
42:46Only a fool would underestimate you.
43:12Or you, my love.
43:16Seems a shame to let a prime seat go to me.
43:28Oh, Monty, you wouldn't dare.
43:29Well, I think I know my own worth, ready?
43:31Wiggins, move the chair.
43:32This should have been his moment.
43:52You mean your moment.
43:56Eyes on the camera, please.
43:58Holding it still now.
44:00Right, right, right, right.
44:20Mama, Harry Falconer.
44:24Yes?
44:26It was you who paid him off.
44:30Why would you do that?
44:32My dear boy, let's enjoy the day.
44:37We can speak of these things some other time.
44:39But Mama, who is he?
44:48He's my grandson.
44:49No.
45:00No.
45:03No.
45:06No.
45:08No.
45:13No.
45:13do you remember the day you proposed vividly you said to me
45:30if we were unable to make a success of our marriage
45:34then you would release me
45:37i cannot imagine saying any such thing
45:43no
45:46no
45:50no
46:01no
46:06no
46:07no
46:10no
46:12I came to finish the painting.
46:27There is no urgency.
46:30I believe there is.
46:32I wish to resume my work as an artist.
46:35An ambition I gave up ten years ago.
46:38As incompatible with the aims of my father and my wife.
46:42Well, don't mistake me. I've been blessed.
46:46I've had wealth, status, a beautiful wife, an adorable stepdaughter.
46:53And I could have gone on living a comfortable, privileged half-life
46:57if you hadn't walked into that room on June's 18th birthday.
47:03And now?
47:04It's done.
47:06I've resigned from the firm, from my family, from my marriage.
47:11You can't. What are you thinking?
47:15I'm thinking I can no longer lie to her, or to myself, or to you.
47:23I want to paint.
47:26I want to be a father to our children.
47:28I want to live with you.
47:32We'll be outcasts. We'll be poor.
47:36I cannot give you my name.
47:39But I can give you my love.
47:42If you'll have me.
47:43Do you even need to ask?
47:58I want to be a father to our children.
47:59I want to be a father to our children.
48:00I want to be a father to our children.
