00:00The call of duty. Is it to ourselves?
00:07Or to others?
00:13Each generation debates the dilemma.
00:18Follow the money or follow your heart.
00:25.
00:54June and I agree. You mustn't reproach yourself.
01:06The 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.
01:20The power of first love. And when there are consequences...
01:25I'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?
01:41Race, June.
01:44Oh, Figaro. He's slower than Treacle.
01:50I feel quite neglected.
02:03Two weeks and not even a postcard.
02:07Surely he can't be that busy.
02:09Oh, 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, my dear.
02:21Yes!
02:24Once the dust has settled, we need to implement the succession without delay.
02:28Why the urgency?
02:36I waited a long time to become chairman.
02:41Nothing prepares you for the loneliness,
02:44the lack of a mentor,
02:45everyone waiting for you to fail.
02:56So, I want you to take on the mantle now,
02:59while I'm still here to guide you.
03:01And since Soames is away,
03:03we can use his absence.
03:07To do what?
03:08To assure the doubters that you, and not he,
03:12are the man for the job.
03:13When will you tell them?
03:21I've already written to my father.
03:23I told him Forsyte and Co. should explore new markets,
03:34that I intend to set up an office here in Paris,
03:37where I can have complete autonomy.
03:40Won't he applaud that?
03:41No.
03:42They want me in London,
03:44fulfilling his lifelong ambition to thwart his brother.
03:47Oh, believe me, I'd do a better job than my cousin,
03:49but I'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?
04:02A wild thing?
04:05A wood nymph?
04:07A goddess?
04:08I 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.
04:31Everything?
04:32Is that not what marriage is about?
04:36Of course.
04:39Next time I'll wake you.
04:41Hmm.
04:45Ah, Forsyte.
04:47Is it true?
04:49Soames missing in action?
04:50Yes, Miss Honeymoon.
04:52Poor excuse, I grant you.
04:53Can I help?
04:54Hmm.
04:55So long 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...
05:07Well, it's your choice, of course, Mr. Cully, but...
05:11I'd advise against.
05:14Sir Jim has a dubious safety record.
05:17Prone to accidents and human fatalities.
05:19I really want...
05:20And?
05:21If there are a few careless labourers lost down a mine.
05:25Small price to pay for such fabulous returns.
05:27Couldn't agree more.
05:28James Forsyte.
05:29Allow me to expedite your purchase.
05:31This way.
05:34With me.
05:34Let's go.
06:04Let's go.
06:34Let's go.
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.
07:13I gave you a helping hand.
07:15The rest you've done yourself.
07:16Oh, how inspiring.
07:25And to that end, I have a favor to beg.
07:30Of course, anything.
07:32I hesitate to ask.
07:34It would involve a risk, and it concerns my forthcoming fundraising event.
07:40June!
07:54June
07:58Star Philip of Culver Street
08:06June Renegade of High Park
08:24Thank you
08:28I 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
08:34don't apply to us
08:35Perhaps I think they're petty
08:36Parochial
08:37Irrational
08:38Seriously, can men and women not be friends?
08:46Do friends accept gifts?
08:52Cute
08:52Recite me one
08:57When old age shall this generation waste
09:04Thou shalt remain
09:05In midst of other woe than ours
09:07A friend to man
09:09To whom thou sayest
09:10Beauty is truth
09:11Truth, beauty
09:13That is all you know on earth
09:15And all you need to know
09:16Where shall we live?
09:26Versailles
09:27The Tuileries
09:29The Champs Elysees
09:31When I was tiny
09:35We lived in three rooms
09:38Above a baker's shop
09:39And my father bought me a canary
09:43But my mother said that wild things
09:46Should never be kept in cages
09:48So she let it fly away
09:50No doubt to be eaten by a cat
09:53Well, three rooms won't do for us
09:59We shall need to entertain
10:02Forge connections
10:04Now you've got to discover my guilty secret
10:07My mum never taught me how to play the hostess
10:10That's it
10:12Our marriage is over
10:14You realise we'll have a housekeeper
10:19The servants
10:20And your mother will think me woefully lacking
10:22I'm sure she already thinks I've led you astray
10:25Led me astray?
10:30Have you?
10:33My father taught me university was a waste of time and money
10:36Likewise Europe
10:39The Grand Tour
10:40So at sixteen
10:42I was on the floor of the stock exchange
10:44Learning the ropes
10:46Don't mistake me
10:48None of it was wasted
10:49But
10:49Now
10:52Is my duty
10:55To the company
10:56Or to myself
11:10You haven't led me astray
11:13You've set me free
11:16Someone's all of aglow
11:35Must be the ride
11:38The wind was bracing
11:40Suits you
11:42You should go more often
11:44Well
11:45I think I will
11:47So the hunt is on
12:05Will it be a chase
12:07Or a trap
12:09Frances will have it all planned
12:11She learnt from the master
12:13Utterly brazen
12:16Might as well stick her on a plate with an apple in her mouth
12:19Olivia sends her regrets
12:21She's visiting the Fitzgeralds
12:24She and young Antony have formed an attachment
12:26Oh how delightful
12:28That was quick
12:29Poor Cyril finds it all so confusing
12:32Shall we find you a little treat
12:35Why 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
12:50Husband an absolute stick
12:53She and I hiked the Matterhorn together
12:57And I understand you have an extensive collection of moths
13:09Oh yes
13:10I've been longing to know
13:11What distinguishes a moth from a butterfly?
13:15Oh well
13:16In fact they do have things in common
13:18Both belong to the Lepidoptera species
13:20From the Greek Lepis meaning scale
13:23And Terran meaning wing
13:24Fascinating
13:25Well
13:32That could hardly have gone better
13:34June was transformed
13:36You did her very proud
13:39Suspended evening
13:42Do you really think she's had a change of heart?
13:45It would certainly make things easier
13:47There we go
13:47Thank you
13:48Thank you
13:49Thank you
13:51Thank you
13:52Thank you
13:53Thank you
13:55Soames, finally.
14:22Good morning.
14:25I trust he's announcing his imminent return.
15:25He's the heir of our generation.
15:27Nobody is to hear of this.
15:30Understood?
15:31Of course.
15:32I don't know.
15:33My heart will break.
15:35How should we live without him?
15:40I don't know.
15:41I don't know.
15:42I don't know.
15:43I don't know.
15:44I don't know.
15:45I don't know.
15:46I don't know.
15:47I don't know.
15:48I don't know.
15:49I don't know.
15:50I don't know.
15:51I don't know.
15:52I don't know.
15:53I don't know.
15:54I don't know.
15:55I don't know.
15:56I don't know.
15:57I don't know.
15:58I don't know.
15:59I don't know.
16:00I don't know.
16:01I don't know.
16:02I don't know.
16:03Joe mustn't be allowed to get the chair.
16:04Jones must return and fight his corner.
16:07I need to send a telegram.
16:12Dear Mrs. Forsyte.
16:14So good of you to come.
16:16Did I hear there may soon be exciting news about your daughter and young Horatio?
16:22I couldn't possibly comment.
16:26Lady Carteret herself dropped a hint.
16:30She's asked me to donate to her charity for the reclamation of fallen women.
16:37And I wondered whether you might be persuaded to join us.
16:42Of course.
16:43One must support any scheme that takes these wretched creatures off the streets.
16:48Perhaps we can find ways to alleviate their wretchedness.
16:52They're both very hot.
16:57Try to get some sleep, my darlings.
16:59I don't like it.
17:00What Mrs. Barrington wants you to do.
17:02She couldn't have asked me at a worse time.
17:04With all these Forsyte's buzzing around.
17:06She wasn't to know.
17:07I've never told who the children's father was.
17:09If you do it, it could ruin you.
17:22The
17:32One
17:33To
17:46Am I invited?
17:48I think we both know you're the main attraction, my love.
18:16Oh, look at me.
18:18And here's my chef, Marie.
18:20My friends, I'm wearing the coat of ballet.
18:22I'm wearing the coat of ballet.
18:24Hello, Marie.
18:26Hello.
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.
18:45You're ready, guys?
18:46We celebrate, right?
18:48But no.
18:49We should absolutely try our home speciality.
18:52The absinthe.
18:57Come on, let's go.
19:00Come on, let's go.
19:02Come on.
19:03Come on.
19:04Come on.
19:05Come on.
19:06Come on.
19:07Come on.
19:08Come on.
19:09Come on.
19:10Come on.
19:11Come on.
19:12Come on.
19:13Come on.
19:18Come on.
19:21Come on.
19:34Come on.
19:35How could I be so stupid?
19:36I did. I thought if I appeared compliant, then Mama would be more sympathetic, would take my wishes into account, but now that's...
19:47Frampton Park.
19:48Yes. That can only mean one thing. He intends to propose.
20:06I suppose we'll never meet again.
20:10I wish it could be otherwise.
20:14Perhaps you should marry me.
20:19I think I'd prefer it.
20:24No, I really would prefer it.
20:28June, let's be serious. How 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...
20:37Then we'll run away.
20:38And live on what? I have debts.
20:40No reputation. I'm yet to secure a meaningful commission.
20:43Sometimes I live on cocoa.
20:44But none of this matters if we love each other.
20:51I shouldn't have said that.
20:54But you did.
21:03And...
21:04And...
21:06So...
21:07So...
21:08Thank you very much.
21:38It's a pleasure to see you dance with us.
21:40When I joined them at the Cours du Ballet,
21:42I have a letter of reference to Madame de Arlandre.
21:46If I can join them at the start of the new season.
21:48La Ciltie Giselle.
21:50Champagne.
21:52What do I see?
21:54You don't like the absence?
21:56One can have too much of a good thing.
22:08Do you intend to make a habit of advising clients
22:18against sure-fire investment?
22:20What's that?
22:22Salon Gold.
22:24As predicted.
22:26Colossal profits.
22:28But it seems Joe is unable to conquer his squeamishness.
22:30I doubt I ever will.
22:32You should ask Darty.
22:34Sure he's made of sterner stuff?
22:36Did I hear my name?
22:37Mr. 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
22:52is solely to make a profit for its clients.
22:55But if the heir apparent shows queasiness at its methods,
22:59is he really acting in our best interest?
23:07It appears Horatio Carteret is partial to June.
23:17Hmm.
23:18Wow.
23:19Think of that.
23:20When we go to Frampton Park,
23:22I believe he will ask for her hand.
23:25Hmm.
23:26And he's the heir.
23:28Which eventually means, of course,
23:29that June herself will be Lady Carteret.
23:31Just what those high and mighties need.
23:34A bit of spark and personality.
23:38Feather on your cap, my dear.
23:40And to you too, June, of course.
23:42Assuming her father consents?
23:45Why wouldn't he?
23:47Can you think of a reason?
23:49Not unless June can.
23:56My love?
24:00Sorry.
24:01It was miles away.
24:02What was the question?
24:05Is there any reason I shouldn't consent
24:07to you marrying Horatio Carteret?
24:10Yes.
24:11I believe there is.
24:12On account of the fact that I'm already engaged.
24:19His name's Philip Bassini.
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,
24:31but he's so talented,
24:32he'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.
24:44He's a modernist
24:45and utterly rejects outmoded traditions such as...
24:47Asking your father for his daughter's hand
24:49before he proposes?
24:52Well, actually,
24:54I proposed.
24:56Of course you did.
24:58Am I to understand there's actually some truth
25:00to this ridiculous...
25:04June,
25:05What are you doing?
25:08Following my heart?
25:11Oh dear.
25:12But how did...
25:15Where could you...
25:16Tell her. It's out of the question.
25:17June.
25:18A word, please.
25:29Did 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.
25:45You don't understand.
25:47He's not like anyone I've ever known.
25:50He cares about things that matter,
25:51about 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?
25:57Yes.
25:58So I should meet him.
26:04So I should meet him.
26:06So I should meet him.
26:07In a moment,
26:09I would be ready for it.
26:10I like to know that.
26:12Let's see.
26:15Let's see.
26:17I'm hungry.
27:49Why are you looking at me like that?
27:54May a man not look upon his most treasured possession.
27:59Am 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.
28:34It's been the point of my life if not to set my son on the chair.
28:37Is 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 earlobes.
28:48Oh, well, that'll do it.
28:49This way, sir.
28:59This way, sir.
28:59This way.
29:01Mr. Bassini.
29:08Please.
29:19Ladies, 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,
29:31I hope I may have something more than guineas to offer.
29:36No doubt you think me 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 fees 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.
30:36I've never met anyone like her.
30:42We see the world in the same way.
30:45She's spirited and brave.
30:48And yes, I love her.
30:50And if you don't believe me, then...
30:52Oh, what if I do believe you?
30:55You'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.
31:15But what is the ultimate aim of your charity?
31:18Punishment?
31:19Moral superiority?
31:21Or material assistance?
31:24Let 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.
31:59A midwife.
32:00Sustenance.
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.
32:13But a contributor.
32:16Heartwarming 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.
32:35I wasn't a widow.
32:46My children were born out of wedlock.
32:50Their father...
32:59died...
33:02before they were born.
33:03What?
33:04How 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.
33:25Thank you so much.
34:03Forgive me, I must go.
34:12You don't strike me as a fortune hunter.
34:18How would you support her?
34:20Oh, well, that is, at present.
34:24I can't. But I have prospects. I'm currently seeking a major commission.
34:29But is money the be-all and end-all?
34:31It is for those who are used to it.
34:36I can't agree to this marriage.
34:39Until you've completed your first commission.
34:46Till then I consent to an engagement.
34:50I have no doubt.
34:53We'll be seeing a lot of each other.
34:55I'm here, my dear ones. I'm here now.
35:05I'm here, my dear ones. I'm here now.
35:24You agreed to an engagement? Why?
35:29He's impulsive, argumentative, and currently without means.
35:34It could be years before he makes his first commission.
35:36Exactly.
35:37And by then, the romance would have lost his sheen.
35:40Or stood the test of time.
35:42And you're willing to take that chance?
35:44What is this?
35:50You living vicariously?
35:53Allowing June to do what you always regretted not doing?
35:58Not in the slightest.
36:02I'm holding at peace with my decision.
36:03I knew it.
36:14You 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.
36:42And now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier.
36:52No, no, no. You pause off the table pudding. You know there is.
36:56What?
36:57Is there a pact to lower the tone of this family?
37:00First Soames, now June.
37:03There'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 party's close family only.
37:18Poor Frances had such high hopes.
37:20She 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.
37:35But 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.
37:46Late chance in your happiness for someone you barely know.
37:51Come with me.
37:53I have a surprise.
37:57Isaac 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.
38:08I want to thank you for joining us the other day.
38:13I hope you were persuaded of the cause.
38:16Dear Louisa, she's such a shining example of what can be achieved.
38:20Yes.
38:21Yes.
38:22Yes.
38:23Very commendable.
38:25Still, it's a struggle with two little ones to take care of.
38:29I mean, they both go down with a fever.
38:31Well, I'm so sorry.
38:32I have to dash.
38:33I'm expected at the Devonshires for luncheon.
38:48Are they very sick?
38:50Scarlet fever.
38:52Apparently.
38:54Poor darlings.
38:56But tell me.
38:57How is dear Isaac?
38:58How is dear Isaac?
39:25Well, it's become a little less of a desperate struggle for us.
39:26You're afraid to involve me, San Бineti so I'm going to write.
39:28How would I walk somewhere along withmart 샷 or Yoko sky?
39:30pudding enjoyable path as never?
39:31I mean, you're bit unsure of whether you meant absolutely, but I'm gonna notice heavy.
39:33I think you don't have thought about it.
39:34You can imagine because you know that the idea of your heavenly Amanda looks barring is a Nada.
39:36So never.
39:37Oh, I don't feel learned not knowing that.
39:38You know,你好 about growing up and�도.
39:40No, no, no, no.
39:41Maybe, no, no, no.
39:44I can chat again with a mix of island.
39:46Yeah, super quickly.
39:48Yeah.
39:49You can any of that.
39:51I'm going to really get back to this task.
39:52MUSIC PLAYS
40:22MUSIC PLAYS
40:52Oh, wasn't it wonderful?
41:00I'll meet the director next week.
41:01And just think, if he accepts me,
41:03you can come and pick me up every night after the performance.
41:05Oh, you should meet Ivert's brother.
41:07He's a painter. He comes to watch all of the rehearsals.
41:09I honestly just can't wait for you to see me dance.
41:13Oh, just imagine.
41:14You can meet me at the stage door every night.
41:16And when we're settled in our new apartment,
41:18should we invite your family to come visit?
41:21Yes.
41:22Yes, of course.
41:26My love,
41:28there's something I haven't mentioned.
41:44A telegram from my father.
41:49Is he well?
41:50Beside himself.
41:51Huh.
41:52That I told him my plans in a letter
41:53when I should have done it face to face.
41:56What was I thinking?
41:59I believe I must return.
42:02Cat, sure, it's our honeymoon.
42:05And my audition, should I rearrange?
42:07By all means.
42:08But you must see I owe my father an explanation.
42:12In person.
42:17Of course.
42:18Of course, I do see that.
42:21So let's return to London
42:23and settle things.
42:26Once and for all.
42:27How do we know that this fellow
42:56isn't some money-grubbing opportunist?
43:00What is Frances thinking?
43:03She will know that
43:04when the heart is set on something,
43:07the more it's forbidden,
43:08the more it's craved.
43:11Surely you don't imagine
43:13June wants this boy
43:15just to prove she can have him.
43:18I once knew a couple of young men
43:20who pursued the same girl
43:21simply so the other wouldn't get her.
43:25Let me fetch you a drink.
43:44Something amiss?
43:46What?
43:46Nothing to concern you.
43:52No one would believe
43:53we used to be best of friends.
43:55It was a long time ago.
43:57Before the old man
43:58pitied us against each other.
44:02Yes.
44:02Shape up.
44:04Make sacrifices.
44:05Was it a sacrifice?
44:06For you?
44:11Alexandra?
44:12Alexandra?
44:12No more than it was for you.
44:20Do you sometimes wonder
44:21where she disappeared to?
44:23As do I.
44:26Still,
44:28it all turned out for the best?
44:31Emily and you?
44:33Edith and I?
44:35Yes.
44:37Splendid women.
44:37Saved us from ourselves.
44:48I almost feel sorry for him.
44:51Don't.
44:52Did you see his hat?
44:54Left it on a chair
44:55and Emily mistook it for a cat.
45:01Uncle James,
45:02you look as if you'd like
45:04to commission a new house
45:05and here's Phil
45:05just brimming with clever ideas.
45:07I suspect your uncle's
45:08perfectly content
45:09with his own house.
45:10But should the opportunity
45:11ever arise,
45:12I'm sure you could
45:13come to my office
45:14and view my portfolio.
45:15There, now.
45:16What a kind invitation.
45:19Well,
45:20here we are.
45:22Frances and I ask you
45:23to join us
45:23in raising a glass
45:24to the newly engaged couple.
45:28June and Philip.
45:29June and Philip.
45:35How to thwart a rebel
45:38take away their cause.
46:35Are they?
47:05Please tell me they're not.
47:07They're not.
47:09Their fever's past, they're sleeping.
47:15Thank God.
