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
01:03Here, let me
01:29Leave it on
01:38It suits you
01:40For God's sake, stop fiddling!
02:00Here
02:00Get out
02:02Stupid girl, she's hopeless
02:08Here, let me
02:10Any 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
02:51Please continue
02:54Of what will we be speaking?
03:02What?
03:03Of how no one knows what goes on inside a marriage
03:06Except the two people in it
03:09I 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?
03:19That's kind
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, I may have 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
04:46Our 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 so, you four sights make such bold matrimonial choices
05:02Shall we see you at the Parker Barringtons?
05:06If 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
05:38Well, because Soames would be furious
05:39Soames?
06:01Isn't she enchanting?
06:02Please join me
06:08Good morning, sir
06:19Julian
06:21Will 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 about your fitness to lose
07:00Is this actually something you want?
07:03As in?
07:04Did you ever really intend to retire?
07:06Why would you doubt it?
07:07Because 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
07:13Well, perhaps you're right
07:13But having seen you make
07:16The right call
07:17When I so spectacularly failed to do so
07:21I 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
07:46Knew 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
07:55A city of romance
07:58Ballet
07:58Scandal
07:59You must
08:01I'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 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
09:00And 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?
09:40Paris was a beautiful dream
09:41Which you led me to believe you said
09:42But for reasons beyond our control
09:44We are here
09:45And there is much to be grateful for
09:48There is
09:49But I cannot pretend it's what I would have chosen
09:53Oh, Lord
10:01organizes
10:01Come on, man
10:02Come on, man
10:02Come on, man
10:16Come on
10:19Come on
10:20I take it you don't expect visitors.
10:39No, not as a rule.
10:41I have a question.
10:43Yes.
10:44Why would a gentleman trust the architect of such?
10:48Squalor.
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.
10:57Then you'll appreciate that chaos can be the mother of inspiration.
11:01And in your inspired opinion...
11:08were a gentleman to contemplate the commissioning of a country house...
11:12where would he begin?
11:13You have a visitor...
11:19waiting in the boardroom.
11:21You have to be in the boardroom.
11:34Harry Faulkner.
11:38Yes?
11:39Your father and uncle refuse to offer compensation...
11:42so you will cover his losses from funds that I'll provide.
11:45Why would you provide?
11:47Call it a moral obligation.
11:51Your late grandfather and I, we...
11:54we knew his mother.
11:57Who was she?
11:58After she fell on hard times, your grandfather provided a home.
12:01A family.
12:02A trust for the child.
12:04Which has recently matured...
12:06and was squandered on your uncle's advice...
12:09in the goldmine debacle.
12:10And the child's father?
12:11I couldn't tell you.
12:15Couldn't or won't?
12:22Kindly make the necessary arrangements.
12:25And while you're at it...
12:26Yes.
12:27Your own affairs.
12:29Get a grip on them, dear.
12:32It'll be the making of you.
12:41Oh, my God.
13:02Yeah.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Yeah.
13:03Yeah.
13:08Yeah.
13:09Yeah.
13:10What a flattering gown, Miss Louisa.
13:37Alas, no.
13:40I was obliged to discontinue our arrangement.
13:43Service was disappointing.
13:45Oh, you surprise me.
13:47I find her excellent.
13:49Although, 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?
14:04What is this place?
14:14I believe it's called Robin Hill.
14:21Your experience is limited.
14:24You've graduated top of my year.
14:25What is this place?
14:28Youthful enthusiasm is no substitute for skill.
14:31One certainly wouldn't wish to pay a premium for it.
14:34Indeed.
14:35One would expect that any fee, however small, would be gratefully seized upon.
14:40Then one would be mistaken.
14:42I 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.
15:04As dear Louisa has demonstrated.
15:10And yet, might some of these women benefit more from an atonement-based model?
15:18Atonement?
15:19Interesting word.
15:21As you know, our aim is never to judge, but to support.
15:26Whether or not they deserve it.
15:28Well, I know I speak for many when I say that to ignore some of the damage done by these women
15:35to decent, upstanding families is an obstacle to many who might wish to contribute.
15:42Perhaps you should form your own charity,
15:44one that prizes correction and penance above indiscriminate handouts.
15:49I wish you luck.
15:51I sense you have your reasons.
16:02You must do what you think best.
16:21When could you commence?
16:32I'm sorry?
16:33You wish to...
16:34Commission some preliminary drawings,
16:37so that I may assess your suitability.
16:39At once, if you wish.
16:43You will, however, refrain from discussing our arrangement
16:46with anyone.
16:49Particularly my wife.
16:51You understand that this is to be a surprise?
16:55Of course.
16:55Of course.
17:18Ben.
17:21What is it?
17:22Tell me.
17:24I was ordered not to say.
17:27By who?
17:29Sam's Forsyte.
17:31What on earth could he have to say?
17:33I was ordered not to say.
17:42May 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.
18:22You like painting.
18:24I do.
18:25But my mama says I must practice more.
18:31Well, these are excellent.
18:34You really capture the bird's feathers.
18:37My mama said you're good at drawing.
18:39Will you draw us?
18:42I could.
18:50No, no, no, no.
18:51You, you go on painting.
18:59May I?
19:01Yeah.
19:01Yes.
19:02Much better than Joss.
19:18May we keep it?
19:19My mama will love it.
19:21I know something she'd like.
19:22Are you not bursting with joy?
19:49Well, I know it's meant to be a secret, but of course you know.
19:52Phil's commission to build a house for you and Soames.
19:55But 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.
20:05You have to pretend.
20:08When Soames tells you, look surprised or he'll be furious with me.
20:12But isn't it just the best of news?
20:14I can get married.
20:16You get abused in your house and Phil has such a time.
20:19Mrs. Forsyte?
20:37Is your husband...
20:38No.
20:41Are 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.
21:0130 miles from London.
21:01Spectacular views.
21:02No other dwelling for miles around.
21:07As for the purpose...
21:09Is that not obvious?
21:11I 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.
21:27Mrs. Forsyte?
21:43Mrs. Forsyte!
21:44Forgive me.
21:44I could pretend to misunderstand your distress, but who would that serve?
21:50It 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.
22:01It was implied.
22:06And it's not...
22:08inaccurate.
22:13Then all that remains is to find a way to make a graceful exit.
22:18What?
22:18What do you mean?
22:19But I can't be the one that will...
22:22Helloat your husband and devastate June.
22:24I must make him withdraw of his own accord.
22:28But June will be distraught.
22:30And you?
22:30It's your first commission.
22:33I'm arrogant enough to believe there'll soon be another.
22:43I really don't know what to say.
22:46Say absolutely nothing.
22:54Mama!
23:11We have a surprise for you.
23:12Close your eyes.
23:13Oh.
23:13Open your eyes.
23:29Do you like it, Mama?
23:30Uh, go and play outside.
23:41Do we have to?
23:42Yes, please.
23:42Please.
23:42I know.
23:43I know.
23:44I know.
23:44I know.
23:44I know.
23:48But...
23:48I know.
23:53Please.
23:53You are the one that was made for me.
23:56So, please.
23:58Do you like...
24:00Do you remember anything?
24:00I know.
24:01I know.
24:01So...
24:02I don't know.
24:03Maybe I can't take any place.
24:03I know.
24:04I know.
24:05I know.
24:06I know.
24:06I know.
24:07I know.
24:08I can take it.
24:08I know.
24:09I know.
24:09I know.
24:10I know.
24:10I know.
24:10Yes?
24:20I've brought some preliminary designs with costings.
24:25Your efficiency burns well.
24:35Some mistake, surely.
24:37As in several noughts too many.
24:41To design a property befitting the status and the magnitude of a gentleman such as yourself...
24:45I asked 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.
24:57Good 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?
25:11Your 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.
25:20And 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.
25:26You asked to see me?
25:45you asked to see me ah yes
25:57to see if you've come to your senses
26:02or are you still minded to favor your mistress over your wife she's not my mistress
26:09people make assumptions no one knows of our previous attachment and how that our connection
26:14is platonic despite the fact that you left our home you know why i left our home because
26:22i couldn't agree to cease contact with my children
26:25well as to that
26:32i might be willing to reconsider
26:44i consider how
26:58i give a little you give a little we both want the same thing you home

28:37is this about paris

29:58profit is the devil
29:59caution 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
30:08or 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
30:16and say otherwise is just
30:18yes
30:19what is it
30:20what is it
30:23morally bankrupt
30:25oh
30:26that
30:27that's priceless
30:28our would-be chair
30:29the 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 including 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 who's conveniently jilted his wife
30:53so he can debauch his mistress
30:55and fawn over his brats

31:48Jolyon is late.
31:57No, my love, I really think we might be happier.
32:02And how was the garden, Marty?
32:04I heard it was exploiting.
32:05Yes, it was.
32:05Shall we leave, Marty?
32:08I like it, my lady.
32:10Quite like it, the ginger ale.
32:14All a scrumptious distraction in art.
32:18Is Jolyon proposing to make some sort of grand entrance?
32:43He'll be here, rest assured.
32:45Exciting.
32:45Where's Jo?
32:49Did he not leave, would you?
32:51He 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.
33:00We're getting married, Phil.
33:01Aren't you just thrilled beyond words?
33:03I know Mama has plenty of plans already.
33:05Do excuse me.
33:06It's so exciting.
33:07From 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.
33:28Soames 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.
34:01I suspect she may not be as keen on the ideas, soames.
34:11Well, it is true we'd hardly ever see each other and 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, but...
34:22Mr. Bacinney, on further consideration, I 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.
34:31I knew you'd come.
34:57Well, your father was right.
34:59We shouldn't have doubted you.
35:01And I've been at fault, issuing ultimatums, forcing you to make a choice when you'd have
35:07come to your senses of your own accord.
35:08Francis...
35:09We can salvage this.
35:10Our marriage.
35:12Your ascension.
35:13This is our moment.
35:15Francis, I'm sorry.
35:15For everything you've worked for, everything you've done, you deserve a better return.
35:30I do.
35:32And I cannot give it.
35:36Yesterday, it struck me.
35:37Battling with souls, fighting to impose my will on the company.
35:42My heart's not in it.
35:47Never was.
35:50I don't understand.
35:52What are you saying?
35:53Then I'll never cease to love you.
36:02Respect, admire, provide for you.
36:07I'll never return to the phone.
36:12Or this house.
36:13Well...
36:22I don't know.
36:33What are you saying?
36:35What God?
36:38Oh, man.
36:39I'm sorry.
36:52I tried.
36:58You're very kind.
37:01Not kind.
37:04It's just...
37:06the thought of you being with.
37:13I won't give up.
37:17I swear it.
37:19I can't.
37:36There will be no divorce.
37:49Your children will not be legitimized.
37:54You will suffer rejection from the family.
37:58The firm.
38:02From all of London.
38:03I accept that.
38:20I 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.
38:53I thought I wasm just...
38:55You, I know.
38:57I respect that.
39:00And I saw this.
39:01I saw this.
39:07I saw this.
39:07It would be absolutely wonderful today.

41:02i think on balance no no i prefer to do the honors myself
41:11pray silence for her illustrious highness mrs ann euphemia isadora foresight

41:48instead you have me perfectly placed to judge the merits and the demerits of this formidable clan
41:58since my arrival there have been many newcomers to the foresight ranks all of you will have wondered

44:58Do you remember the day you proposed?
45:27Vividly.
45:29You said to me, if we were unable to make a success of our marriage, then you would release me.
45:41I cannot imagine seeing any such thing.
45:57I came to finish the painting.
46:25There is no urgency.
46:28I believe there is.
46:31I wish to resume my work as an artist.
46:34An ambition I gave up ten years ago, as incompatible with the aims of my father and my wife.
46:41Well, don't mistake me.
46:45I've been blessed.
46:46I've had wealth, status, a beautiful wife, an adorable stepdaughter.
46:50And I could have gone on living a comfortable, privileged half-life if 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.
47:12You can't.
47:13What are you thinking?
47:15I'm thinking I can no longer lie to her, or to myself.
47:19Or to you.
47:21I want to paint.
47:24I want to be a father to our children.
47:29I want to live with you.
47:31We'll be outcasts.
47:33We'll be poor.
47:35I cannot give you my name.
47:40But I can give you my love.
47:43If you'll have me.
47:57Do you even need to ask?
48:05Bye.
