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.
05:33With me?
05:37Come on.
05:38Come on.
05:39Come on.
05:40Come on.
05:41Come on.
05:41You're a little bit.
05:42I'm a bit more.
05:43Come on.
05:44Come on.
05:44Come on.
05:45I don't know.
06:15I don't know.
06:45I don't know.
06:54Mrs. Farrington.
06:56Anna, what a lovely surprise.
06:58My dear Louisa.
07:02You 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.
07:13I gave you a helping hand.
07:15The rest you've done yourself.
07:17Oh.
07:20How inspiring.
07:25And to that end,
07:27I have a favor to beg.
07:30Of course, anything.
07:32I hesitate to ask.
07:34It would involve a risk.
07:36And it concerns my forthcoming fundraising event.
07:40June.
07:57June.
07:59Star Philip of Culver Street.
08:06June Renegade of Hyde Park.
08:29I thought you might not come.
08:30It was very impertinent of you to ask me.
08:33But perhaps you think the rules of polite society don't apply to us.
08:35Perhaps I 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,
09:04Thou shalt remain,
09:06In midst of other woe than ours,
09:08A friend to man,
09:09To whom thou say'st...
09:10Beauty is truth.
09:12Truth, beauty.
09:13That is all you know on earth.
09:15And all you need to know.
09:16Where shall we live?
09:27Versailles.
09:28The Tuileries.
09:30The Champs-Elysees.
09:34When I was tiny,
09:36We lived in three rooms above a baker's shop.
09:39And my father bought me a canary.
09:45But my mother said that wild things should never be kept in cages.
09:49So she let it fly away.
09:51No doubt to be eaten by a cat.
09:53Mm-hmm.
09:55Mm.
09:55Well, three rooms won't do for us.
10:00We shall need to entertain.
10:03Forge connections.
10:04Oh, now you've got 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.
10:38Likewise, Europe.
10:40The 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 now is my duty to the company or to myself.
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.
11:43You should go more often.
11:45Well, I think I will.
11:47So, the hunt is on.
12:05Yes.
12:06Will it be a chase or a trap?
12:09Yes.
12:09Frances will have it all planned.
12:12She learned from the master.
12:13Yes.
12:13Utterly brazen.
12:16Might as well stick her on a plate with an apple in her mouth.
12:20Olivia 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?
12:35Why don't you?
12:36There we are.
12:36Have you met Mrs. Parker Barrington?
12:41She's back in London.
12:43I'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.
13:09Oh, yes.
13:10I've been longing to know.
13:11What 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 teron, meaning wing.
13:25Fascinating.
13:25Well, that could hardly have gone better.
13:35June was transformed.
13:38You did her very proud.
13:42Suspended 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.
14:37Good morning.
14:50not coming home
14:58on my heart i shall faint
14:59can it be true
15:01it must be her doing
15:02well you can't deny she's a bewitching little creature
15:05what can he be thinking
15:06setting up on his own in paris of all places
15:09although
15:10with soames gone might a fellow step up
15:13what fellow
15:14someone with expertise on risk investment

16:24lady carteret herself
16:28dropped a hint
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
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
16:56try 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 her worst time

17:47i think we both know you're the main attraction my love
17:52the carter
18:17and
18:19And here's my chef, Marie.
18:21My friends, for the coat of ballet,
18:23Yvette, Colette, Patrice Victor.
18:25Hello, Marie.
18:27Hello.
18:29Hello.
18:31Hello, welcome.
18:33Let's go.
18:35Come on, everyone.
18:37Oh, my dear friends.
18:41Oh, it's beautiful.
18:43So, champagne?
18:45You're welcome, guys?
18:47You're a celebrity, right?
18:49But no.
18:51We'll have to try our house speciality,
18:53the Absinthe.
18:57Let's go!
18:59Let's go!
19:01Let's go, guys!
19:03Let's go!
19:05Oh, my God!
19:07Oh, my God!
19:09Oh, my God!
19:11Oh, my God!
19:13Oh, my God!
19:15How could I be so stupid?
19:38I thought if I appeared compliant,
19:41then Mama would be more sympathetic,
19:44would take my wishes into account.
19:45But now that's...
19:47Frampton Park.
19:48Yes.
19:50That can only mean one thing.
19:54He intends to propose.
20:07I 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.
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,
20:35and believe me, he will...
20:37Then 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.
20:44But none of this matters if we love each other.
20:51I...
20:51I shouldn't have said that.
20:54But you did.
20:55And...
21:04And...
21:06So...
21:07So...
21:08So...
21:09So...
21:10So...
21:11So...
21:13So...
21:13When will I join them at the Court of the Ballet?
21:41One can have too much of a good thing.
22:11So, do you intend to make a habit of advising clients against surefire investment?
22:21What's this?
22:23Salon Gold, as predicted. Colossal profits.
22:27But it seems Joe is unable to conquer his squeamishness.
22:30I doubt I will. You should ask Darty. Sure he's made his sterner stuff?
22:35Did I hear my name?
22:36Sir Jimmy Buckland's gold mine. Shares 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?
23:11It appears Horatio Carteret is partial to June.
23:17Well, think of that.
23:20When we go to Frampton Park, I believe he will ask for her hand.
23:26And he's the heir. Which eventually means, of course, that June herself will be Lady Carteret.
23:31Just what those high and mighties need. Bit of spark and personality.
23:38Feather on your cap, my dear. And to you too, June, of course.
23:43Assuming her father consents? Why wouldn't he? Can you think of a reason?
23:50Not unless June can.
23:56My love?
23:57Sorry. It was miles away. What was the question?
24:05Is there any reason I shouldn't consent to you marrying Horatio Carteret?
24:10Yes. I believe there is. On account of the fact that I'm already engaged.
24:18His name's Philip Bassini. He's an architect. One of the New School and very bright.
24:24He lives on Culver Street. It's also his office.
24:29He's still awaiting his first commission, but he's so talented.
24:32He's sure to be in great demand once a while. Darling, that's enough.
24:36No one finds this remotely amusing.
24:39I don't know.
24:41I met him at the opera.
24:43He'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...
24:53I proposed.
24:55Well, of course you did.
24:58Am I to understand there's actually some truth to this ridiculous...
25:03June.
25:05What are you doing?
25:07Following my heart.
25:08Oh, dear.
25:12But how did...
25:14Where could you tell her? It's out of the question.
25:17June.
25:19A word, please.
25:28Did you know anything about this?
25:29Why would I?
25:31We know she likes to confide in you.
25:34Perhaps you thought I would disapprove.
25:37Which obviously you do.
25:44You don't understand.
25:46He's not like anyone I've ever known.
25:49He cares about things that matter, about right and wrong.
25:52He 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.
26:06So I should meet him.
26:27What should I do?
26:29Who is doing?
26:31He wants me to go to my work.
26:32Why are you doing that?
26:34What's going on?
26:36Who do you do?
26:38Who do you do?
26:39Who do you do?
26:40He wants to worship you.
26:42Who do you do?
26:43Who do you do?
26:45Who does that?
26:47You don't really know...
26:49Who does he do you do?
27:20What is it?
27:51Why 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.
29:00Oh, Mr. Bassini.
29:10Please.
29:11Ladies, 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.
33:03How 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.
33:24Thank you so much.
33:49Forgive me, I must go.
34:12You don't strike me as a fortune hunter.
34:17How would you support her?
34:20Oh, well, that is, at present.
34:25I can't, but I have prospects.
34:27I'm currently seeking a major commission.
34:29Is 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.
34:40Until you've completed your first commission.
34:46Until then I consent to an engagement.
34:48I have no doubt we'll be seeing a lot of each other.
34:54I'm here, my dear ones.
35:18I'm here now.
35:19You agreed to an engagement?
35:27Why?
35:30He's impulsive, argumentative, and currently without means.
35:34Could be years before he makes his first commission.
35:36Exactly.
35:37And by then the romance would have lost its sheen.
35:41All stood the test of time.
35:42And you're willing to take that chance?
35:44What is this?
35:48You living vicariously?
35:53Allowing June to do what you always regretted not doing?
35:57Not in the slightest.
36:02I'm wholly 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.
36:35She...
36:36And now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier.
36:45No, no, no, you pause off the table pudding.
36:54You know there is.
36:56What?
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.
37:07You'll note the lack of announcement.
37:09June's engagement?
37:10No surprise.
37:12I wouldn't advertise such a mismatch.
37:14No wonder the engagement party is 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.
37:35But 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.
37:42I take calculated risks.
37:45No.
37:46Like chance in 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.
38:09I 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.
38:29And 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.
38:36Are they very sick?
38:50Scarlet fever.
38:52Apparently.
38:54Poor darlings.
38:56But tell me, how is dear Isaac?
38:58I'm sick.

40:58Oh, 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.
41:07He 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.
41:17And when we're settled in our new apartment,
41:18we go to the cafe.
41:19And when we're settled in our new apartment,
41:34should we invite your family to come visit?
41:35Yes.
41:36Yes, of course.
41:40My love,
41:42there's something I haven't mentioned.
41:46A telegram from my father.
41:49Is he well?
41:50Beside himself.
41:51That I told him my plans in a letter
41:53when I should have done it face to face.
41:56What was I thinking?
41:57I believe I must return.
42:02Cat, short our honeymoon.
42:05And my audition, should I rearrange?
42:07By all means.
42:09But 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 it.
43:17I once knew a couple of young men
43:20who pursued the same girl
43:21simply so the other wouldn't get her.
43:27Let me fetch you a drink.
43:29Something amiss?
43:45What?
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 pitied us
43:59against each other.
44:01Yes.
44:02Shape up.
44:04Make sacrifices.
44:05Was it a sacrifice?
44:06Was it a sacrifice?
44:08For you?
44:11Alexandra?
44:16No more than it was for you.
44:18Do 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.
44:40Saved us from ourselves.
44:41Yes.
44:48I almost felt sorry for him.
44:50Don'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 with his own house.
45:10But should the opportunity ever arise,
45:12I'm sure you could come to my office
45:14and view my portfolio.
45:15There, now.
45:16What a kind invitation.
45:18Well,
45:20here we are.
45:22Francis and I ask you to join us
45:23in raising a glass
45:24to the newly engaged couple.
45:28June and Philip.
45:29June and Philip.
45:37How to thwart a rebel,
45:39take away their cause.
45:48Thanks, sir.
45:56Thanks, sir.
45:58Thank you, sir.
45:59Thank you, sir.
46:04This week, I'll just look you up to Bradford.
46:06Jane,
46:44Are they?
47:05Please tell me they're not.
47:07They're not.
47:09Their fever's passed.
47:10They're sleeping.
47:14Thank God.
