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.
05:01I've got another note, I've got another note from Mr. Foresight.
05:04So, if you loved her, why did you marry my mom?
05:28Because your mother was, is, an incredible woman.
05:34Cultured, 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.
06:11Give her time.
06:12I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.
06:18I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.
06:25But I am here.
06:26And I have no plans to be elsewhere.
06:32I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.
06:39Then all shall be well.
06:40Then all shall be well.
06:46Then all shall be well.
06:53Then all shall be well.
06:54Then all shall be well.
06:55Do you know who's going to be well?
06:56Then all shall be well.
06:57Then shall be well.
06:58By the way, you'll go and go.
06:59You came.
07:12Did you doubt it?
07:20Forgive me.
07:21Yesterday I was overwhelmed.
07:24I failed to observe the proper formalities.
07:27Allow me to make amends.
07:29Miss Heron, you have made me the happiest of men.
07:37Would you do me the honour of wearing this ring?
07:50You dislike it?
07:51No, no, how could I?
07:52It's just...
07:53I mean, is this happening to me?
07:57I mean, there must be so many more suitable women of your own station.
08:01Very many.
08:03Eminently suitable.
08:05All art and polish and impeccable breeding.
08:12Whereas you are all nature.
08:16And to me, that is perfection.
08:33May I now have the honour of introducing you to my family?
08:37My love?
08:41Yes.
08:43Yes.
08:44I'll be done.
08:51Bye-bye.
08:53Mama was always fond of that one.
09:23She was a fine woman, not a first love, but a lasting one.
09:36So it's a full turnout tomorrow?
09:39What's this?
09:40Epsom races.
09:41Monty's horse is running.
09:42What could possibly go wrong?
09:44What shall I wear?
09:46I need to cut quite the dash when I strut into the ring with Lady Peaches.
09:50Isn't that the groom's job?
09:52When one's nurtured a nag as I have, one feels a bond, a connection.
09:56You don't think of Mountingale yourself then?
09:58Do you know the thought had occurred?
10:00But the 230 Epsom, is that the place to make one's debut?
10:02I thought I'd wear my peach hat in homage to Monty's horse.
10:06But if it doesn't win...
10:08Well, I believe by the end of tomorrow we'll have something to celebrate.
10:10To 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.
10:18A guinea on Miss Carteret?
10:20If you have a guinea to waste.
10:22It's always a blow to realize that someone you love is not perfect.
10:30Of course you want him to be.
10:35But...
10:37He's fallen short.
10:39And I can't forgive him.
10:41Parents disappoint their children.
10:44Children disappoint their parents.
10:47Mine have a talent for it.
10:49Even now, I suspect that your Uncle James is harnessing your father's imperfections to use against him.
10:58And you may say quite right.
11:01Whereas I would say...
11:03Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
11:10Chin up, my dear.
11:12Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.
11:19Yes, Peaches!
11:23Come on, Peaches!
11:25I told you!
11:26Go!
11:27Go on, Peaches!
11:28Come on, lady, Peaches!
11:29Come on, lady, Peaches!
11:30Come on, lady, Peaches!
11:31Yes, lady, baby!

15:24well
15:31well

16:52well
16:53well
16:54well
17:11well
17:12well
17:13well
17:15well
17:15that was sheer purgatory
17:16Absolute hell
17:21Grinning like fools
17:24As 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
17:46Somehow 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
18:16You're not wearing that
18:30You're not wearing that, are you?
18:48I 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
19:00I thank you for your concern
19:01But I can only start as I mean to go on
19:03By doing what feels right
19:06To me
19:10So I was thinking crimson
19:22Or burgundy
19:23My husband says don't be extravagant
19:25Which is rich coming from him
19:26When he outspends his allowance every month
19:28And then blames me because he has no profession
19:30It'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
19:36But I just keep saying we have a reputation to uphold at Foresight & Co
19:40Foresight?
19:42But your name's...
19:43Darty, yes, by marriage
19:45Foresight by birth
19:46You know my cousin-in-law, Mrs. Francis Foresight?
19:49Yes, yes
19:52I should perhaps warn you
19:55I'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
20:03Elsewhere?
20:06I should think not
20:07And her tone
20:09Almost as if she was wishing me gone
20:11And why would that be?
20:13Thank your cousin, Joe
20:15What?
20:16And his not-so-guilded youthful escapades
20:20I congratulate you, cousin
20:27Miss Heron seems an excellent choice
20:30Thank you
20:31Perhaps one's reached an age where one is free to make a choice
20:36Without succumbing to family pressures
20:38One lives in hope
20:46Joe
20:48Fathered the dressmaker's children
20:50Well, well, well
20:53The dirty dog
20:55How appalling
20:57But it does play into our hands
20:59How so?
21:00He wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock
21:02For our purposes, it serves us to portray him as a libertine
21:06The callous seducer
21:07The neglectful father
21:09I mean, any of these could be said to jeopardise the reputation of the firm
21:12But it happened before he and Francis met
21:14Some might call it a youthful indiscretion
21:16Well, they'd be wrong
21:17Such behaviour is...
21:19Yes, Monty?
21:20What is it?
21:25I might be looking in my club
21:26Does he perform any useful function?
21:34He could
21:35Given a chance
21:36If this is yet another bid to give him a role
21:39Not a role
21:40A seat on the board
21:41You are joking
21:43The board meets tomorrow, yes
21:45And your plan is to expel Joe from the company
21:48Do 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
22:08Please take your seats
22:09And welcome
22:10Esteemed lecturer and philanthropist
22:12Mrs Ellen Parker Barrington
22:14You believe
22:16You have no voice
22:17I believe the same
22:20I've been confused
22:23Ignored
22:24Disrespected
22:26In my time
22:27Oh, but trust me
22:29I'm under no illusion
22:30It is my wealth
22:32My standing
22:34Which now confers power
22:36Commands respect
22:37Demands attention
22:39My late husband
22:41Owned woolen mills
22:43In the north
22:44Once viewed his workers
22:46As commodities
22:47Expendable
22:49But
22:50He was brought to see them
22:52As precious
22:53Human souls
22:54Worthy of respect
22:57Of dignity
22:59Of proper recompense
23:02So
23:03Change is possible
23:07And I owe those
23:10Who have not been as fortunate as I
23:12To challenge
23:13Ignorance
23:15And injustice
23:17Wherever
23:19I see it
23:20I invite you
23:24To do the same
23:26Miss Renegade
23:43Mr Buccaneer
23:46What brings you here?
23:48The same as you
23:49A wish for rational argument
23:50A disgust for inequality
23:51Would you
23:54Would you have some cake?
23:55Thank you
24:03So you're an architect
24:06How splendid
24:07I should introduce you
24:09To my family
24:09They'll be terribly impressed
24:10No I doubt it
24:11I'm a modernist
24:12In my experience
24:14The money classes
24:14Are highly conservative
24:15In their tastes
24:16Now you
24:17I suspect
24:18Are a radical
24:19I like to think
24:21I have an open mind
24:22Why else would you be here
24:23Unchaperoned
24:24I don't care
24:26A fig for such nonsense
24:27I suspect your mother does
24:29And what she doesn't know
24:31Can't hurt her
24:32Do you have a card?
24:37In case
24:37Any of my family
24:38Should at some point
24:39Require your services
24:40You and I both know
24:41How unlikely that is
24:42Culver Street
24:53Hardly an illustrious address
24:54And it's a garret
24:55Oh I adore garrets
24:56Proposal to admit
25:17Montague Darty to the board
25:18I don't expect you to like it
25:20He's an imbecile
25:21But if we're to get the votes
25:23We need
25:24Last minute addition
25:32To the agenda
25:32Item five
25:34Reputational risk
25:36And remedial action
25:37So here we are
25:40Here we are
25:41Let battle commence
25:47Large brandy in the day's papers
25:54Shot shot
25:55Item number four
25:56The proposed election
25:58Of Montague Darty
26:00To the board
26:01Proposer
26:04Seconded
26:09All those in favor
26:14And those against
26:18Montague Darty
26:27Is elected
26:27To the board
26:29I suppose you should
26:32Let him in
26:34To those who voted in my favor
26:41Good choice
26:43To any who voted against
26:48All right
26:50Item five
26:54Reputational risk
26:56And 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
27:07Of our more eminent clients
27:08Could lead them to take
27:10Their 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
27:23As yet
27:23In the dark
27:24My nephew
27:26I had a relationship
27:32Prior to my marriage
27:33With a young woman
27:33I met in Venice
27:34Some days ago
27:35I learned that
27:36When we parted
27:37She was with child
27:38Twins to be precise
27:40Now ten years of age
27:41Living with her mother
27:42In London
27:42And distasteful
27:45As some of you
27:46Doubtless may find it
27:47Distasteful
27:48Try scandalous
27:50Inexcusable
27:51What we can't ignore
27:52Is that many of our clients
27:53Will find such a liaison
27:55Distasteful
27:56But of course they will
27:57Because such things
28:02Have never happened
28:03In respectable families
28:05Good lord
28:06What a nurse
28:07And it'll be the first misstep
28:08That this family
28:10Has ever made
28:11Mama for goodness sake
28:12Gentlemen
28:13Please
28:13May I ask
28:18What brings you here today
28:19Curiosity
28:20This is most irregular
28:23We do not admit
28:24Ladies
28:25Into the inner sanctum
28:27Oh the inner sanctum
28:29That solely exists
28:31Because I paid for it
28:33Can I not see
28:35What my marriage settlement
28:36Bought
28:37Mater
28:38The matter in hand
28:40Concerns
28:41The irrevocable damage
28:43To company reputation
28:44Should Joe remain
28:45Within its ranks
28:46We are inviting him
28:47To step away
28:48For the good
28:50Of the family name
28:51For the good
28:51Of the family name
28:52Ah
28:53Our sainted
28:56Family
28:57Devoid of scandal
28:59Closets
29:01Skeletal 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
29:13And the girl paid off
29:14Please allow me
29:15To deal with this
29:16If we could be certain
29:22Of the girl's discretion
29:23We could agree
29:25To turn a blind eye
29:27But
29:27Though I trust
29:28He's not expecting
29:29Any settlement
29:30To come out
29:31Of company funds
29:32Oh no
29:33Mr. Short
29:34I have no intention
29:35Of asking anyone here
29:36To take responsibility
29:37For my obligations
29:38The fact remains
29:41I have two children
29:41Of whom I'm not ashamed
29:44Nor of myself
29:47Well
29:55You heard him
29:57No remorse
29:58Disappointing
29:59Has to go
30:00With regret
30:03I propose
30:06That Jolion Forsyte
30:08Be expelled
30:10From the company
30:11All those in favour
30:18It's fine
30:29Thank you
30:31Thank you ma'am
30:31Why are you here?
30:34I'm not content
30:35With how we left things
30:35More is due to you
30:37And the children
30:37Nothing is due
30:39We are content
30:39Do you think you have the right
30:41To deprive them
30:42By refusing my support?
30:44Deprive them?
30:45Did they look deprived?
30:46No that's not what I meant
30:48Can I not want them
30:49To have a better life?
30:51Have you given
30:52At the slightest
30:53Thought to how my life
30:54Has been since we parted?
30:57No I can only imagine
30:58Can you?
31:00A girl
31:01Two infants
31:02No one to turn to
31:03Gradually
31:04To take a fierce pride
31:06In knowing that she could provide
31:07To have raised
31:09Two beautiful souls
31:11Single handed
31:11Why would I
31:15Why would they
31:15Need any more
31:17Than what we have?
31:20Mama
31:21Will you come?
31:22There's jugglers
31:23Will you come?
31:26Hang on
31:27Where would they
31:42Like the
31:52They're beautiful.
32:11They are.
32:13If you told me, I would have come for you.
32:17Your family would have cut you off.
32:18You'd be living in disgrace.
32:20And knowing all of that, I still would have come.
32:22It wasn't a bee.
32:26No, it wasn't.
32:30Goodbye, Joe.
32:52Mr. Renekade.
33:15Can I be of assistance?
33:24No one can.
33:31Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?
33:34I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills.
33:53Even a stepfather with feet of clay.
33:58He's utterly betrayed me.
33:59I can see it must seem that way.
34:02If you'd seen him with them, smiling adoringly, as if I didn't even exist.
34:13You exist to me, Miss Renekade.
34:16I do.
34:17I see you.
34:21Clear as day.
34:26I should go.
34:28I really shouldn't be here at all.
34:30I'm glad you were.
34:31I'm glad you were.
34:32I'm glad you were.
35:04Come.
35:18I'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.
35:40I just spoke to your father.
35:58Don't you want to know how it went?
36:01The vote?
36:01I 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.
36:24A golden opportunity.
36:28For you to recommit.
36:31To your family.
36:33The firm.
36:36Our life together.
36:38How do you see that?
36:49My 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.
37:15And Soames?
37:16What do you know of him?
37:19What can you tell me?
37:24Soames 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.
37:34My wants are modest.
37:36And what are those wants?
37:38To love.
37:39And be loved.
37:40To 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.
37:56And you?
37:59Are you in love?
38:01Oh.
38:03I have tremors.
38:06My pulsed races and I feel faint.
38:10Some poets call that love.
38:11What 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.
38:40Should I have done?
38:43Time enough to address that.
38:44When 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.
39:17respect.
39:19Respect.
39:21Patience.
39:23Belief.
39:24These also matter.
39:27And that's what you had with Papa.
39:32Have.
39:34Still.
39:35Still.
39:35This could have been the event of the season
39:53Rather 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
40:18Who might wish to keep him all to herself
40:21Yes, well, that's the least of it
40:23Instead of idling around Europe
40:26He could be here planning our next strategy
40:29Do you like it, Ramal?
40:34Monty assures me it costs the earth
40:36Nothing's too good for my Freddy
40:37A man of business can afford such trifles
40:40Lord Elvis
40:44Heaven's sake, Irene, the carriage will be here any minute
40:56I hope I'm as blessed as they were
41:00Can you ever doubt it?
41:02In the resources at Mr Forsyte's disposal
41:04His willingness to uproot his entire existence for your sake
41:09I meant that hers was a love match
41:11And yours is?
41:19I don't yet know what to call it
41:21He told me it would be all that I dreamt of
41:27And more
41:28Then I suggest you count your blessings and get dressed
41:30No blah
42:40It doesn't have any sense.
42:42Mama, where is she?
42:44I don't know.
42:45It doesn't have any sense.
43:15It doesn't have any sense.
43:45It doesn't have any sense.
44:15You've taught me a valuable lesson.
44:18Which is?
44:20To trust no one but myself.
44:22To think for myself.
44:25To do only what my heart tells me.
44:28What does it tell you?
44:29That true love is what matters.
44:35A meeting of minds.
44:39A conjunction of souls.
44:41That is what matters.
44:44Good.
44:45We agree.
44:46Good.
44:47Amen.
44:58Good.
44:58It has to be called me.
45:29You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on from them.
45:55That wasn't what I said.
46:00It was implied.
46:06I said my commitment to you is beyond doubt.
46:10But to suggest that I've moved on from them will 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.
46:21Frances, my 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.
47:10For what?
47:11Showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed till I met you.
47:22Hey.
47:23I won't.
47:27There's no place in this house.
47:29It's all.
47:31It's all.
47:31It's all.
