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 Marmour?

05:15So, if you loved her, why did you marry my mom?

05:28Because your mother was, is. An incredible woman. Cultured, caring, kind. And I valued that.

05:42In those early days after Venice, I was sometimes a little lost.

05:47And had you known about her situation, what would you have done?

05:59I can't answer that.

06:03You just did.

06:06June, wait.

06:12Give her time.

06:17I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.

06:22But I am here, and I have no plans to be elsewhere.

06:32I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.

06:35But I am here, and I have no plans to be elsewhere.

06:42Then all shall be well.

06:49You came.

06:50Did you doubt it?

06:56Forgive me.

06:57Yesterday, I was overwhelmed.

06:59I failed to observe the proper formalities.

07:03Allow me to make amends.

07:10Miss Heron, you have made me the happiest of men.

07:11Would you do me the honour of wearing this ring?

07:12I am.

07:13I am.

11:40yes

11:50yes

11:52yes

11:54no

11:56pic

12:00yes

12:02now

12:04No! No!

12:06So close.

12:08So close.

12:10So close.

12:12You donkey!

12:14Damn it!

12:16I've been sold a pup, a turkey, a clunker, a veritable dud.

12:22But she did so well, Monty. She almost won.

12:28They need to fix that.

12:30How'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, Joe. I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.

12:48How are things with Francis?

12:50She's saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.

12:52Neither of us reckon with.

12:54And the implications are frankly severe.

13:06So does Soames propose to join us or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?

13:12Ah, Miss Carteret.

13:14Pa would have been proud to think we'd achieved nobility in three generations.

13:18Just to alert you.

13:20I haven't purchased any of our plans with the family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.

13:30Of course.

13:32Ah.

13:34Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron.

13:38My family.

13:42How do you do?

13:46Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.

13:48Not at all. I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.

13:52Hmm.

13:54And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance.

13:56As Miss Heron has done me the honour of agreeing to be my wife.

14:00Uh-oh.

14:02Uh-oh.

14:12Congratulations.

14:16Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence, after which we depart for Europe.

14:20On your honeymoon? How thrilling. Where will you go?

14:24Tradition dictates that must remain a secret.

14:28Heron, you say.

14:30Do we know that name?

14:34Who are your people, my dear?

14:36No one of consequence. My father was a professor and my mother...

14:38Oh, could we please not subject Miss Heron to the Spanish Inquisition?

14:40No, no, no, indeed.

14:42That function belongs to me.

14:46The customary formalities?

14:50Yes, of course.

15:00Shall we?

15:08I thought it best to get the ordeal out of the way as soon as possible.

15:10As to the wedding itself, you must save a fortnight from now is too soon.

15:14A fortnight?

15:16Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.

15:30Well, well.

15:32Well, well.

15:42Your mother is seriously displeased.

15:48Why wasn't she consulted?

15:50And the haste.

15:52How long have you known this girl?

15:54Long enough.

15:55She seems rather lovely.

15:56Oh, Emily!

15:58She is.

16:00You'll like her.

16:01You must be fearfully in love.

16:03In love?

16:04The deuce does that mean?

16:06It means everything, trust me.

16:10This is not the match we were expecting.

16:13No, I see that.

16:14And to take the plunge now,

16:16when Joe's dug himself a hole,

16:18we've had a clear shot at the chairmanship,

16:20and you're about to go gallivanting off around the continent.

16:23Perhaps we should just leave Joe to it.

16:25Ha ha!

16:27Are you serious?

16:29Hm.

16:38The insanity of it.

16:40I think I rather envy him.

16:45How?

16:47Daring to follow his heart.

16:50Did you?

16:52Did I?

16:53For God's sake, Emily.

16:57What sort of a question is that?

17:03Come along, pudding.

17:05Shall we retire?

17:06Come on.

17:11Well, that was sheer purgatory.

17:20Absolute hell.

17:22Grinning like fools,

17:23as if our whole lives were not on the rack.

17:32I know what makes this even worse.

17:35We always wanted children of our own.

17:41Yes.

17:47Somehow that never happened.

17:52Now to know that you have children with another.

18:00The last thing I ever wanted was to cause you pain.

18:10We must protect June as much as we can from all this.

18:40You're not wearing that, are you?

18:47I mean, the foresight ladies will never approve.

18:50Is it not sufficiently modish?

18:53My concern is that you don't embarrass yourself.

18:57You're stepping so far outside your milieu.

18:59What do you mean?

19:00I thank you for your concern.

19:01But I can only start as I mean to go on.

19:05By doing what feels right.

19:10For me.

19:11So I was thinking crimson or burgundy.

19:24My husband says don't be extravagant, which is rich coming from him.

19:27When he outspends his allowance every month and then blames me because he has no profession.

19:31It's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company.

19:33It's not as if I haven't hinted at it countless times.

19:36But I just keep saying we have a reputation to uphold at Forsyte & Co.

19:40Forsyte?

19:42But your name's...

19:43Darty, yes. By marriage.

19:45Forsyte by birth.

19:47You know my cousin-in-law, Mrs. Francis Forsyte?

19:50Yes.

19:54I should perhaps warn you, I'm snowed under with orders.

19:58It could be months before your gown is ready.

20:00In which case I'd quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere.

20:04Elsewhere?

20:06I should think not.

20:08And her tone!

20:09Almost as if she was wishing me gone.

20:11And why would that be?

20:13Thank your cousin, Jo.

20:15What?

20:17And his not-so-gilded youthful escapades.

20:26I congratulate you, cousin.

20:28Miss Heron seems an excellent choice.

20:32Perhaps one's reached an age where one is free to make a choice.

20:36Without succumbing to family pressures.

20:41One lives in hope.

20:42One lives in hope.

20:47Jo!

20:48Fathered the dressmaker's children!

20:51Well, well, well.

20:54The dirty dog!

20:55How appalling!

20:56But it does play into our hands.

20:59How so?

21:00He wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock.

21:03For our purposes, it serves us to portray him as a libertine.

21:06The callous seducer, the neglectful father.

21:09I mean, any of these could be said to jeopardize the reputation of the firm.

21:11But it happened before he and Francis met.

21:14Some might call it a youthful indiscretion.

21:16Well, they'd be wrong.

21:18Such behaviour is...

21:19Yes, Monty?

21:20What is it?

21:22I might be looking in my club.

21:26Does he perform any useful function?

21:34He could.

21:35Given a chance.

21:37If this is yet another bid to give him a role.

21:39Not a role.

21:40A seat on the board.

21:42You are joking.

21:44The board meets tomorrow, yes.

21:46And your plan is to expel Jo from the company.

21:49Do you have a majority?

21:51Are you sure you couldn't use an extra vote?

21:54Well...

21:55Monty's your man.

21:56He's entirely without scruples.

21:58He'll vote whichever way you tell him to.

22:06Excuse me.

22:07Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and welcome...

22:10Esteemed lecturer and philanthropist, Mrs. Ellen Parker Barrington.

22:15You believe you have no voice.

22:17I believe the same.

22:21I've been confused, ignored, disrespected in my time.

22:28Oh, but trust me.

22:29I'm under no illusion.

22:31It is my wealth.

22:33My standing, which now confers power, commands respect, demands attention.

22:40My late husband owned woolen mills in the north.

22:43Once viewed his workers as commodities.

22:47Expendable.

22:49But he was brought to see them as precious human souls.

22:54Worthy of respect.

22:57Of dignity.

22:59Of proper recompense.

23:01So...

23:04Change is possible.

23:07And I owe those who have not been as fortunate as I...

23:12To challenge...

23:14Ignorance...

23:16And injustice.

23:18Wherever I see it.

23:20I invite you...

23:24To do the same.

23:26Thank you so much.

23:29Thank you so much.

23:33Thank you so much.

23:34Thank you very much.

23:36Thank you very much.

23:38Mr Renegade.

23:39Mr. Renegade.

23:45Mr. Buccaneer.

23:46What brings you here?

23:48The same as you.

23:49A wish for rational argument?

23:50A disgust for inequality.

23:53Would you care for some cake?

24:04So you're an architect.

24:06How splendid.

24:08I should introduce you to my family.

24:09They'll be terribly impressed.

24:10No, I doubt it.

24:11I'm a modernist.

24:13In my experience, the money classes are highly conservative in their tastes.

24:17Now you, I suspect, are a radical.

24:20I like to think I have an open mind.

24:23Why else would you be here, unchaperoned?

24:25I don't care a fig for such nonsense.

24:28I suspect your mother does.

24:30What she doesn't know can't hurt her.

24:32Do you have a card?

24:37In case any of my family should at some point require your services.

24:40You and I both know how unlikely that is.

24:52Culver Street?

24:53Hardly an illustrious address, and it's a garret.

24:55Oh, I adore garrets.

25:15Proposal to admit Montague Darty to the board?

25:18I don't expect you to like it.

25:20He's an imbecile.

25:22But if we're to get the votes we need...

25:31Last minute addition to the agenda.

25:33Item five.

25:35Reputational risk and remedial action.

25:38So here we are.

25:40Here we are.

25:41Let battle commence.

25:52Large brandy in the day's papers.

25:54Shot, shot.

25:55Item number four.

25:56The proposed election of Montague Darty to the board.

26:03Proposer.

26:08Seconded.

26:11All those in favor.

26:17And those against.

26:26Montague Darty is elected to the board.

26:30I suppose you should let him in.

26:33To those who voted in my favor, good choice.

26:46To any who voted against.

26:49All right.

26:52Item five.

26:55Reputational risk and remedial action.

26:57Yes.

27:01I'm afraid there have been alarming rumors implicating one of our own,

27:05which, should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients,

27:09could lead them to take their business elsewhere.

27:11What rumors are these?

27:13Concerning a senior partner,

27:16debauching a serving man.

27:18That is not what happened.

27:20That is not who she was, and those are not the circumstances.

27:22And for those of you as yet in the dark,

27:25my 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, when we parted, she was with child.

27:39Twins, to be precise.

27:41Now ten years of age, living with their mother in London.

27:42And distasteful, as some of you doubtless may find it.

27:48Distasteful?

27:49Try scandalous.

27:50Inexcusable.

27:51What we can't ignore is that many of our clients will find such a liaison distasteful.

27:56But of course they will.

28:00Because such things have never happened in respectable families.

28:05Good lord.

28:06What a nurse.

28:07And it'll be the first misstep that this family has ever made.

28:11Well, ma, for goodness sake.

28:12Gentlemen, please.

28:17May I ask what brings you here today?

28:20Curiosity?

28:21This is most irregular.

28:23We do not admit, ladies, into the inner sanctum.

28:26Oh, the inner sanctum.

28:29That solely exists because I paid for it.

28:34Can I not see what my marriage settlement bought?

28:37Mater, the matter in hand...

28:41Concerns.

28:41The irrevocable damage to company reputation should Joe remain within its ranks.

28:46We are inviting him to step away.

28:49For the good of the family name.

28:51Oh, the good of the family name.

28:53Ah.

28:55Our sainted family.

28:58Devoid of scandal.

29:00Closets.

29:03Skeletal remains.

29:04Yes, but the effect.

29:09The damage to our reputation.

29:11There will be no damage.

29:12The matter can be hushed up and the girl paid off.

29:14Please, allow me to deal with this.

29:15If we could be certain of the girl's discretion, we could agree to turn a blind eye, but...

29:27Though I trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of company funds.

29:32Oh, no, Mr. Short.

29:34I have no intention of asking anyone here to take responsibility for my obligations.

29:40The fact remains I have two children.

29:43Of whom I'm not ashamed.

29:46Nor of myself.

29:54Well?

29:56You heard him?

29:57No remorse.

29:59Disappointing.

30:00Has to go.

30:00With regret, I propose that Jolien Forsythe be expelled from the company.

30:17All those in favor.

30:28This next fight, um...

30:31Thank you, ma'am.

30:33Why are you here?

30:34I'm not content with how we left things.

30:36More is due to you and the children.

30:38Nothing is due.

30:39We're content.

30:41Didn't you have the right to deprive them by refusing my support?

30:44Deprive them?

30:45Did they look deprived?

30:47No, that's not what I meant.

30:48Can I not want them to have a better life?

30:51Have you given the slightest thought to how my life has been since we parted?

30:57No, I can only imagine.

30:58Can you?

31:00A girl, two infants, no one to turn to.

31:04Gradually, to take a fierce pride in knowing that she could provide.

31:08To have raised two beautiful souls, single-handed.

31:11Why would I, why would they need any more than what we have?

31:20Mama, will you come?

31:22There's jugglers.

31:23Will you come?

31:26Whoa, hang on.

31:27Let's go, let's go.

32:27Good-bye, Joe.

32:31Good-bye, Joe.

33:01Good-bye.

33:14Mr. Renegade.

33:15Can I be of assistance?

33:24No one can.

33:31Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?

33:45I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills, even a stepfather with the feet of clay.

33:56He's utterly betrayed me.

34:00I can see it must seem that way.

34:02If you'd seen him, with them, smiling adoringly, as if I didn't even exist.

34:12You exist to me, Miss Renegade.

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.

34:42I need to get back.

34:44I could see you.

34:46But it's quite a bit difficult for me to get back to your supervisor.

34:48I know I'm going to get back to your supervisor.

34:50I was waiting for you to get back and get back to your advisor.

34:52I'm not too late, but I knew you were in your meeting.

34:54I'm willing to get back to my advisor and get back in the interview.

34:56I'm getting back in the interview, I'd like to go up to the next Sunday morning and get back to my next time.

34:58I'm not going to get back to my Nice seat, but I'm not going to get back when it's gone.

35:00I've brought Miss Heron to see you.

35:21I congratulate you.

35:24Thank you, Grandmama.

35:26For catching them all unawares.

35:30But 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.

35:58Don't you want to know how it went?

36:00The vote?

36:05I can guess.

36:08In your favour.

36:10How?

36:12You're not to be expelled.

36:14So the chairmanship can now be yours.

36:15You must see what this now affords us.

36:23A golden opportunity.

36:28For you to recommit.

36:31To your family.

36:33The firm.

36:34Our life together.

36:38How do you see that?

36:47My commitment to you and June is absolute.

36:52So tell me, my dear.

37:04Are 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.

37:46And it will be a dance.

37:49Whether the Pavan or a Tarantella.

37:52Or a Padida.

37:53And you?

37:59Are you in love?

38:01Oh.

38:03I have tremors.

38:07My pulse races.

38:08And 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.

38:33I 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.

38:53So, 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.

39:19Respect.

39:20Patience.

39:23Belief.

39:25These also matter.

39:27And that's what you had with Papa.

39:32Have.

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, who might wish to keep him all to herself.

40:22Yes, well, that's the least of it.

40:24Instead of idling around Europe, he could be here planning our next strategy.

40:29Do you like it, Mama?

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.

41:30Nola.

42:00I mean, since I am on the way, I can change my monde in my life.

42:05shooter

42:12I miss you when I aren'tFilm.

42:13I miss a fan who is brought to you.

42:16I miss you when I Regina.

42:18You see, I love you.

42:18I miss you, my brother.

42:19You a love man.

42:21You love it.

42:22I miss you, my family.

42:22I miss you.

42:23Then I'm breakfast and I'll have a wonderful day and sunrise.

42:25ologie

42:26I miss you with your Izmales valle

42:27and I miss you, my wife theyaring you in my life is about outnumberain

42:29and I didn't miss you, but you are still telling me,

42:30Perhaps she's had a change of heart.

42:40If she has any sense.

42:42Mama, where is she?

42:43I don't know.

43:00Mama, where is she?

43:30I don't know.

44:00You've taught me a valuable lesson.

44:18Which is?

44:20To trust no one but myself.

44:22To think for myself.

44:24To do only what my heart tells me.

44:28What does it tell you?

44:34That true love is what matters.

44:37A meeting of minds.

44:39A conjunction of souls.

44:42That is what matters.

44:44Good.

44:44We agree.

44:46We agree.

44:46Good.

44:47Good.

44:48Good.

44:49Good.

44:50Good.

44:51Good.

44:52Good.

44:53Good.

44:54Good.

44:55Good.

44:56Good.

44:57Good.

44:58Good.

44:59Good.

45:00Good.

45:01Good.

45:02Good.

45:03Good.

45:04Good.

45:05Good.

45:06Good.

45:07Good.

45:08Good.

45:09Good.

45:10Good.

45:11Good.

45:12Oh, my God.

45:42You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on from them.

45:59That wasn't what I said.

46:04It was implied.

46:06I said my commitment to you is beyond doubt, but it suggests that I've moved on from them.

46:12It would be to deny that any of it mattered.

46:16Well, of course, I accept that you were once fond of her.

46:19I wasn't fond, Frances.

46:23My children were conceived of love.

46:25So let us be clear.

46:40That love, as you call it, has no place in this house.

46:43So kill it.

46:47Once and for all.

46:50We'll face the consequences.

47:09For what?

47:13Showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed, till I met you.

47:23I'm sorry.

47:29I don't know.

47:32Yeah.

47:37Yeah.
