00:00How To Define Her Foresight
00:08By the secrets we keep, shall you know us?
00:14By the little lies we tell?
00:20By the choices we make, which echo down the generations?
00:25Choices which will come back to haunt us?
00:30Until one of us decides to change the story.
00:42Believe me, this will pass.
00:44And we'll come through it stronger and more devoted than ever.
00:48I believe you.
01:00My concern is this.
01:02Now he knows about the children.
01:05Will he be able to forget them again?
01:10Chas.
01:11You need fresh air.
01:22Wish I could take you to the seaside.
01:25I know where I like to go.
01:28To a magic place where all the streets are made of water.
01:33Where the poor servant girl met the prince.
01:36So, at the next board meeting, I propose to introduce the subject of my nephew's unfitness to be chair.
01:56Not just in temperament, but in behaviour.
02:02As in?
02:03Any action that might bring the firm into disrepute.
02:06This being the case, not only can he be said not to be chair material,
02:11he should be expelled from the company altogether.
02:16You're not the first to sow wild oats in your youth.
02:25But there's no need to pay for those mistakes with your career.
02:28They're not mistakes, Dad.
02:31They're my actual flesh and blood.
02:32And that's important.
02:34An heir is important.
02:37Something you currently lack.
02:38But for the present, when your succession is about to be challenged,
02:43oh, I am well aware of James' manoeuvrings.
02:47It is imperative that we keep this matter a secret.
02:54Your father and I have been wondering,
02:56is there a case for offering some inducement?
03:00Inducement?
03:00For the young lady in question.
03:03To ensure her silence.
03:05Her silence is not in doubt.
03:06But, if she could be persuaded to leave London...
03:09What?
03:10Set up home and business elsewhere...
03:12Suitably funded, of course.
03:13So she's expected to uproot her life and that of her children, for my convenience.
03:17When she's made it abundantly clear she wants no further contact.
03:20And you trust her?
03:21Completely.
03:25You are not proposing some kind of public statement?
03:28About the children?
03:28Well, how would that benefit any of us?
03:32No, I intend to honor her wishes.
03:34Whilst deciding how to discharge my financial obligation to her.
03:37Which will be my... decision.
03:41No one else's.
03:41Are we sure he's the father?
03:50Why else would he be at her shop?
03:52And it was that business in Italy with the ladies' maid.
03:55And there we have it.
03:56The thing to tip the scales against him.
04:01But let's keep this to ourselves for now.
04:06Do I think I'd be the better chair?
04:08Of course.
04:09Do I need to stoop to scheming to achieve it?
04:13You can leave all that to me.
04:14I've got another note from Mr. Foresight.
04:31I've got another note from Mr. Foresight.
05:01So, if you loved her, why did you marry Mama?
05:25because your mother was is an incredible woman cultured caring kind and I valued that
05:38and those early days after Venice I was sometimes a little lost
05:45and had you known about her situation
05:52what would you have done
05:56I can't answer that
06:01you just did
06:05June wait
06:22give her time
06:29I don't underestimate the pain this has caused
06:35but I am here
06:37and I have no plans to be elsewhere
06:40then all shall be well
06:48you came
07:11did you doubt it
07:13forgive me
07:21yesterday I was overwhelmed
07:23I failed to observe the proper formalities
07:26allow me to make amends
07:28Miss Heron you have made me the happiest of men
07:35would you do me the honour
07:38of wearing this ring
07:40you dislike it
07:51no no how could I it's just
07:53I mean is this happening to me
07:57there must be so many more suitable women of your own station
08:00very many eminently suitable
08:04all art and polish and impeccable breeding
08:10whereas you are all nature
08:16and to me that is perfection
08:20may I now have the honour
08:35of introducing you to my family
08:37my love
08:41yes
08:43yes
08:44yes

09:09yes
09:10Mama was always fond of that one.
09:23She was a fine woman.
09:25Not a fast love, but...
09:28a lasting one.
09:36So, it's a full turn-out tomorrow?
09:38What's this?
09:39Epsom races. Monty's horse is running.
09:42What could possibly go wrong?
09:43What shall I wear?
09:46I need to cut quite the dash
09:48when I strut into the ring with Lady Peaches.
09:50Isn't that the groom's job?
09:51When one's nurtured a nag as I have,
09:54one feels a bond, a connection.
09:56You don't think of mounting her yourself, then?
09:58Do you know the thought had occurred?
10:00But the 2.30 at Epsom, is that the place to make one's debut?
10:02I thought I'd wear my peach hat
10:04in homage to Monty's horse.
10:06But if it doesn't win...
10:08Well, I believe by the end of tomorrow,
10:09we'll have something to celebrate.
10:11To that end, I'll be bringing a guest.
10:12Anyone we know.
10:14Wouldn't wish to spoil the surprise.
10:16Well, hardly a surprise.
10:18Hmm, the guinea on Miss Carteret?
10:19If you have a guinea to waste.
10:26It's always a blow to realize
10:28that someone you love is not perfect.
10:33Of course you want him to be.
10:36But...
10:36he's fallen short.
10:40And I can't forgive him.
10:42Parents disappoint their children.
10:44Children disappoint their parents.
10:46Mine have a talent for it.
10:51Even now, I suspect that your Uncle James
10:54is harnessing your father's imperfections
10:57to use against him.
10:59And you may say, quite right.
11:01Whereas I would say,
11:04let he who is without sin
11:05cast the first stone.
11:10Chin up, my dear.
11:12Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.
11:14Yes, peaches!
11:24Come on, peaches!
11:25I told you!
11:26Go!
11:27Go, peaches!
11:28Come on, lady, peaches!
11:29Come on, lady, peaches!
11:31Yes, lady, peaches!
11:32Stay on!
11:34Say, die!
11:35Yes!
11:35Go!
11:36Yes!
11:36Yes!
11:38Go!
11:39No, no, no!
11:40Go!
11:40Go!
11:41Go!
11:41Go!
11:42Go, peaches!
11:43So close.
12:05So close.
12:06Oh, so close.
12:08So close.
12:10So close.
12:11You donkey!
12:15Dammit!
12:17I've been sold a pup, a turkey, a clunker, a veritable dud.
12:22But she did so well, Monty. She almost won.
12:29They need to fix that.
12:32How's Alicia?
12:34If we value your life, never ask if she's feeling tired or would like a chair.
12:38Oh, no, she already made that clear.
12:40I'm with child, Jo. I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
12:47How are things with Francis?
12:49She's saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.
12:52Neither of us reckon with.
12:55And the implications are frankly severe.
12:58So does Soames propose to join us or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?
13:12Oh, Miss Carteret.
13:14Pa would have been proud to think we'd achieved nobility in three generations.
13:25Just to alert you, I haven't purchased any of our plans with the family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.
13:30Of course.
13:32Oh.
13:36Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron, my family.
13:40How do you do?
13:45Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.
13:47Not at all.
13:48I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.
13:53Hmm.
13:54And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance.
13:57As Miss Heron has done me the honour of agreeing to be my wife.
14:01Congratulations.
14:03Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence, after which we depart for Europe.
14:21On your honeymoon?
14:22How thrilling.
14:23Where will you go?
14:24Tradition dictates that must remain a secret.
14:27Heron, you say.
14:31Do we know that name?
14:34Who are your people, my dear?
14:37No one of consequence.
14:38My father was a professor, and my mother...
14:39Oh, could we please not subject Miss Heron to the Spanish Inquisition?
14:43No, no, no, indeed.
14:45That function belongs to me.
14:49The customary formalities?
14:52Yes, of course.
14:56Yes, of course.
14:59Shall we?
15:06It's alright.
15:08I thought it best to get the ordeal out of the way as soon as possible.
15:12As to the wedding itself, you must save a fortnight from now is too soon.
15:15A fortnight?
15:17Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
15:19I guess.
15:21I guess.
15:22I guess.
15:27Well, well.
15:29Well.
15:30Well, well.
15:31your mother is seriously displeased
15:46why wasn't she consulted and the haste how long have you known this girl long
15:54enough she seems rather lovely oh emily
15:57she is you'll like her you must be fearfully in love in love the deuce does that mean it means
16:07everything trust me this is not the match we were expecting no i see that and to take the plunge now
16:16when joe's dug himself a hole we've a clear shot of the chairmanship and you're about to go
16:21gallivanting off around the continent perhaps we should just leave joe to it
16:25are you serious
16:28the insanity of it
16:40i think i rather envy him
16:44how
16:46daring to follow his heart
16:49did you did i for god's sake emily
16:55what sort of a question is that
16:59come along pudding
17:05shall we retire
17:06well that was sheer purgatory
17:16absolute hell
17:21grinning like fools as if our whole lives were not on the rack
17:25i know what makes this even worse
17:34we always wanted children of our own
17:37yes
17:43somehow that never happened
17:48now to know that you have children with another
17:54the last thing i ever wanted was to cause you pain
18:03we must protect june as much as we can from all this
18:13it was not a pleasure
18:22he said
18:24we should break and kill him
18:25fucking
18:26yeah
18:27it was the one of us
18:28it was a little bit of not
18:30for us
18:31i don't know
18:32cry
18:32and we can't see you
18:33and i know
18:33we can't see you
18:34but we can't see you
18:35and i guess we can't see you
18:36you
18:36and i don't know
18:37all i know
18:37we can't see you
18:38and i know
18:39yeah
18:39I hope we can't see you
18:40that night
18:41i know
18:41you're not wearing that are you i mean the foresight ladies will never approve
18:50is it not sufficiently modish my concern is that you don't embarrass yourself you're
18:57stepping so far outside your milieu i thank you for your concern but i can only start
19:02as i mean to go on by doing what feels right
19:06so i was thinking crimson or burgundy my husband says don't be extravagant which is rich coming
19:26from him when he outspends his allowance every month and then blames me because he has no
19:30profession it's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company
19:34and it's not as if i haven't hinted at it countless times but i just keep saying we have a reputation
19:38to uphold at foresight and co foresight but your name's darty yes by marriage foresight by birth
19:46you know my cousin-in-law mrs france's foresight yes yes i uh i should perhaps warn you i'm
19:56snowed under with orders it could be months before your gown is ready in which case i'd
20:01quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere elsewhere i should think not and her tone almost
20:09as if she was wishing me gone and why would that be thank your cousin joe what and his not so gilded
20:19a youthful escapade
20:20i congratulate you cousin miss heron seems an excellent choice thank you perhaps one has
20:33reached an age where one is free to make a choice without succumbing to family pressures
20:39one lives in hope
20:43joe father the dressmaker's children well well well the dirty dog how appalling but it does play into
20:58our hands how so you wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock for our purposes it
21:04serves us to portray him as a libertine the callous seducer the neglectful father i mean any of these
21:09could be said to jeopardize the reputation of the firm but it happened before he and francis met
21:14some might call it a youthful indiscretion well they'd be wrong such behavior yes monty
21:19what is it
21:21i might be looking in my club
21:26does he perform any useful function he could given a chance if this is yet another bid to give
21:38him a role not a role a seat on the board you are joking the board meets tomorrow yes
21:45and your plan is to expel joe from the company do you have a majority are you sure you couldn't use
21:52an extra vote well monty's your man he's entirely without scruples he'll vote whichever way you tell
21:59him to
22:00excuse me ladies and gentlemen please take your seats and welcome esteemed lecturer and philanthropist
22:12mrs ellen parker barrington you believe you have no voice i believe the same i've been confused
22:23ignored disrespected in my time oh but trust me i'm under no illusion it is my wealth my standing
22:34which now confers power commands respect demands attention my late husband owned woolen mills in the north
22:44once viewed his workers as commodities expendable but he was brought to see them as precious human souls
22:54worthy of respect of dignity of proper recompense
23:01so
23:03change is possible
23:07and i owe those who have not been as fortunate as i
23:12to challenge
23:13ignorance
23:15and injustice
23:17wherever i see it
23:20i invite you
23:24to do the same
23:26miss renegade

24:19i like to think i have an open mind
24:22why else would you be here
24:23on chaperone

26:50item five
26:54reputational risk and remedial action
26:57yes
27:00i'm afraid
27:02there have been alarming rumors
27:04implicating one of our own
27:05which
27:06should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients
27:08could lead them to take their business
27:10elsewhere
27:11what rumors are these
27:13concerning a
27:14senior partner
27:15debauching
27:17a serving man
27:18that is not what happened
27:19that is not who she was
27:21and those are not the circumstances
27:22and for those of you as yet
27:23in the dark
27:24my nephew
27:26i had a relationship prior to my marriage with a young woman i met in venice
27:34some days ago i learned that
27:36when we parted she was with child
27:38twins to be precise
27:40now ten years of age living with their mother in london
27:42and distasteful
27:45as some of you doubtless may find it
27:47distasteful
27:48try scandalous
27:50inexcusable
27:51what we can't ignore is that many of our clients will
27:54find such a liaison
27:55distasteful
27:56but of course they will
27:57because such things have never happened in respectable families
28:05good lord
28:06what a nurse
28:07and it'll be the first misstep
28:08that this family has ever made
28:11well more for goodness sake
28:12gentlemen
28:13please
28:13may i ask what brings you here today
28:19curiosity
28:20this is most irregular
28:23we do not admit
28:24ladies into the inner sanctum
28:27oh the inner sanctum
28:29that solely exists because i paid for it
28:33can i not see what my marriage settlement bought
28:37mater
28:38the matter in hand
28:40concerns the irrevocable damage to company reputation should joe remain within its ranks
28:46we are inviting him
28:47to step away

29:04yes but the effect
29:09the damage to our reputation
29:11there will be no damage
29:12the matter can be hushed up
29:13and the girl paid off
29:14please allow me to deal with this
29:16if we could be certain of the girl's discretion
29:23we could agree to turn a blind eye
29:27but
29:27though i trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of company funds
29:32oh no

33:10Mr. Ennecate?
33:21Can I be of assistance?
33:24No one can.
33:31Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?
33:40I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills.
33:53Even a stepfather with feet of clay.
33:58He's utterly betrayed me.
34:01I can see it must seem that way.
34:02If you'd seen him, with them,
34:07smiling adoringly,
34:10as if I didn't even exist.
34:13You exist to me, Mr. Ennecate.
34:16I do.
34:18I see you.
34:20Clear as day.
34:26I should go.
34:28I really shouldn't be here at all.
34:30Well, I'm glad you were.
34:40I wanted to go.
34:59Come.
35:18I've brought Miss Heron to see you.
35:21I congratulate you.
35:24Thank you, Grandmama.
35:26For catching them all unawares.
35:29But not you.
35:32The Carteret girl was too obvious.
35:34Not your type at all.
35:39Bring her to me.
35:54I just spoke to your father.
35:56Don't you want to know how it went?
36:00The vote?
36:01I can guess.
36:08In your favour.
36:10How?
36:12You're not to be expelled, so the chairmanship can now be yours.
36:15You must see what this now affords us.
36:24A golden opportunity.
36:28For you to recommit.
36:31To your family.
36:33The firm.
36:36Our life together.
36:38How do you see that?
36:50My commitment to you and June is absolute.
36:52So, tell me, my dear.
37:03Are you prepared?
37:06For what?
37:07The Forsyte family.
37:09Are you aware of its peculiarities?
37:12Everyone has been welcoming.
37:14And Soames, what do you know of him?
37:19What can you tell me?
37:23Soames has never loved before.
37:26That he does so now is significant.
37:29You will want for nothing.
37:31You'll be mistress of all you survey.
37:33My wants are modest.
37:35And what are those wants?
37:38To love and be loved.
37:41To trust and be trusted.
37:43To dance.
37:45And it will be a dance.
37:49Whether the pavan or a tarantella.
37:52Or a padida.
37:56And you?
37:59Are you in love?
38:00Oh, I have tremors.
38:07My pulse races and I feel faint.
38:10Some poets call that love.
38:12What would you call it?
38:15A prelude.
38:17To something deeper.
38:23I hope you find it.
38:30I trust she wasn't too fierce.
38:36She was kind.
38:39You didn't mention Paris.
38:41Should I have done?
38:43Time enough to address that when we're there together.
38:46Planning our future.
38:51To our wedding day.
38:52So, do we think this wedding is a love match?
39:10How can anyone not marry for love?
39:14Because love is only part of what makes a marriage.
39:17A marriage.
39:19Respect.
39:21Patience.
39:23Belief.
39:25These also matter.
39:27And that's what you had with Papa.
39:32Have.
39:35Still.
39:35Still.
39:35This could have been the event of the season.
39:54Rather than some low-key hole-in-the-corner travesty.
39:57I just wish it hadn't come so soon.
40:00Soon, Emily?
40:02You've had him at home his entire life.
40:04It's just the thought of losing him to someone we don't really know.
40:19Who might wish to keep him all to herself.
40:22Yes, well, that's the least of it.
40:24Instead of idling around Europe,
40:26he could be here planning our next strategy.
40:33Do you like it, Ramal?
40:34Monty assures me it costs the earth.
40:36Nothing's too good for my Freddy.
40:38A man of business can afford such trifles.
40:43Lord help us.
40:44For heaven's sake, Irene, the carriage will be here any minute.
40:58I hope I'm as blessed as they were.
41:00Can you ever doubt it?
41:02In the resources at Mr. Forsyte's disposal.
41:05His willingness to uproot his entire existence for your sake.
41:09I meant that hers was a love match.
41:15And yours is?
41:19I don't yet know what to call it.
41:23He told me it would be all that I dreamt of.
41:27And more.
41:29Then I suggest you count your blessings and get dressed.
41:30And mine is a queen.
41:32I mean two months ago last year it would be always proud,
41:32but we'll put it together.
41:40Nobody wants to be able to.
42:41Mama, where is she?
42:44I don't know.
42:45I don't know.
43:15I don't know.
43:45I don't know.
44:15You've taught me a valuable lesson.
44:18Which is?
44:20To trust no one but myself.
44:22To think for myself.
44:26To do only what my heart tells me.
44:28What does it tell you?
44:29That true love is what matters, a meeting of minds, a conjunction of souls.
44:41That is what matters.
44:43Good.
44:44Good.
44:44We agree.
44:46We agree.
44:46Good.
45:30You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on from them.
45:59That wasn't what I said.
46:05It was implied.
46:06I said my commitment to you is beyond doubt.
46:09But to suggest that I've moved on from them would be to deny that any of it mattered.
46:14Well, of course, I accept that you were once fond of her.
46:18I wasn't fond, Frances.
46:20Frances, my children were conceived of love.
46:36But let us be clear that love, as you call it, has no place in this house.
46:45So kill it.
46:46Once and for all.
46:47We'll face the consequences.
46:52For what?
46:53For what?
46:54For showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed.
47:03Till I met you.
47:04Till I met you.
47:05I met you.
47:06I met you.
47:07I met you.
47:08I met you.
47:14I met you.
47:15I met you.
47:16I met you.
47:22I met you.
47:23I met you.
