Transcript

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, my dear

10:03Come on

10:04There is

10:05There is

10:06There is

10:07There is

10:08There is

10:08This

10:09There

10:11This

10:12The

10:12Yes

10:13Yes

10:14Michael

10:23I 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 squalor

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?

11:18You have a visitor waiting in the boardroom.

11:22Harry Faulkner.

11:38Yes?

11:38Your father and uncle refuse to offer compensation,

11:42so you will cover his losses from funds that I'll provide.

11:46Why would you provide it?

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,

11:59your 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?

12:21Kindly make the necessary arrangements.

12:25And while you're at it...

12:26Yes.

12:27...your own affairs.

12:29Get a grip on them, dear.

12:32It'll be the making of you.

12:33Get a grip on them.

12:45How many times do you have been holding?

12:50Yes.

12:50Come on.

12:51How many times do you have been holding?

12:53This is how it's available.

12:56How do you like?

12:57Yeah.

13:00I'm like,

13:30What a flattering gown, Miss Louisa.

13:37Alas, no.

13:39I 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.

13:58Indeed.

13:59The cause of fallen women.

14:01Such a complex one.

14:04Is it not?

14:13What is this place?

14:14I believe it's called Robin Hill.

14:16Your experience is limited.

14:24I've graduated top of my year.

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.

14:54So, 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.

15:08And yet, might some of these women benefit more from an atonement-based model?

15:18Atonement?

15:19Interesting word.

15:20As you know, our aim is never to judge, but to support.

15:27Whether or not they deserve it.

15:29But I know I speak for many when I say that to ignore some of the damage done by these women to decent, upstanding families is an obstacle to many who might wish to contribute.

15:40Perhaps you should form your own charity, won the prizes, correction and penance, above indiscriminate handouts.

15:49I wish you luck.

15:57I sense you have your reasons.

16:02You must do what you think best.

16:10When could you commence?

16:32I'm sorry?

16:33You wish to...

16:34Commission some preliminary drawings, so that I may assess your suitability.

16:39At once, if you wish.

16:43You will, however, refrain from discussing our arrangement with anyone.

16:49Particularly my wife.

16:51You understand that this is to be a surprise?

16:55Of course.

17:09What is it?

17:22Tell me.

17:24I was ordered not to say.

17:27By who?

17:28Sam's foresight?

17:31What on earth could he have to say?

17:33May I speak with you?

18:03Where is 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.

18:14You 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.

18:36Mama said you're good at drawing.

18:39Will you draw us?

18:40I could.

18:50No, no, 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?

19:19Mama will love it.

19:20I know something she'd like.

19:45Are you not bursting with joy?

19:48Well, 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 when 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.

20:40Are you coming?

20:41Is this about the commission?

20:48No.

20:49Uh, yes.

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.

21:03As for the purpose...

21:10Is that not obvious?

21:14I 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.

21:33Mrs. Forsyte?

21:43Mrs. Forsyte?

21:44Forgive me.

21:47I 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 would effectively be your prison.

21:57That's not the word I used.

22:01It was implied.

22:03And 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.

22:25I must make him withdraw of his own accord.

22:28But...

22:28June will be distraught.

22:30And you?

22:30It's your first commission.

22:31I'm arrogant enough to believe there'll soon be another.

22:42I really don't know what to say.

22:46Say absolutely nothing.

22:47Mama!

22:47We have a surprise for you.

23:12Close your eyes.

23:13Open your eyes.

23:29Do you like it, Mama?

23:30Uh, go and play outside.

23:41Do we have to?

23:42Yes, please.

23:42olus.

23:48Come on, please.

24:01No.

24:02Come on.

24:06Come on.

24:07I'm on.

24:09Yes?

24:20I've brought some preliminary designs with costings.

24:25Your efficiency bodes well.

24:35Some mistake, surely.

24:39As 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. Away from these prying, gossiping...

25:10Who do you mean? Your 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?

25:55Ah, yes.

25:59To see if you've come to your senses.

26:04Or are you still minded to favour your mistress over your wife?

26:08She's not my mistress.

26:10People make assumptions.

26:11No one knows of our previous attachment, and now that our connection is platonic.

26:15Despite the fact that you left our home.

26:17You know why I left our home?

26:22Because I couldn't agree to cease contact with my children.

26:28Well.

26:31As to that.

26:36I might be willing to reconsider.

26:39Reconsider how?

26:54I give a little.

27:00You give a little.

27:04We both want the same thing.

27:06You.

27:09Home.

27:12In time for the gala.

27:13Harry Falkenar.

27:27Yes?

27:28Writing to thank us for reimbursing his losses.

27:31What?

27:32Did you have something to do with this?

27:35Hardly.

27:35Did you?

27:36Absolutely not.

27:37Then who?

27:39Then why?

27:43Quite the mystery.

27:46Yes.

28:07I was thinking about that day we met.

28:22It seems an age ago.

28:25And still we barely know each other.

28:29I disagree.

28:29Perhaps it's that we just want such different things.

28:39Is this about Paris?

28:41Paris is when I first realized.

28:43What?

28:44How...

28:47Unalike we are.

28:57Hmm.

28:59I look forward to seeing what you've chosen for the gala.

29:08It's important to make an impact.

29:13You should wear your new necklace.

29:28Slightly alarming.

29:28Talk of Joe returning home.

29:32If we can't play the tarnishing the company reputation card...

29:35Thought I should mention.

29:37Planning to make a splash at the grand event.

29:39So if you'd like me to give the address.

29:41Next generation rising like salmon to scale the rapids of opportunity.

29:46Yes, thank you.

29:47I'll bear that in mind.

29:48What's this I hear?

29:49You treating us to your vision for the future at our gala.

29:52I can hardly wait.

29:54Care to give us a taster?

29:56Not especially.

29:58Well, let me guess.

29:58Profit is the devil.

30:00Caution 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.

30:07Nothing 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.

30:17And to say otherwise is just...

30:19Yes?

30:20What is it?

30:23Morally bankrupt.

30:27That's priceless.

30:28Our would-be chair, the most degenerate member of the firm,

30:32presumes 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.

30:40making 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 and fawn over his brats!

31:07Is this the type of leadership you're after?

31:10To the man who's forensics?

31:19Does she say her?

31:28Are you ready?

31:28Australian is late.

31:54Australian is late.

32:24Australian is late.

32:31Australian is late.

32:36Quite right there.

32:40Is Jolyon proposing to make some sort of grand entrance?

32:43He'll be here, rest assured.

32:45Exciting.

32:49Where's Jo?

32:50Did he not leave with 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.

33:02Aren't you just thrilled beyond words?

33:04I know Mama has plenty of plans already.

33:05Don't excuse me.

33:06From Sose?

33:19You guessed.

33:21It reminds me of one my late husband gave me.

33:24Haven't worn it in years.

33:26We had a splendid time today.

33:28Soames has reconsidered the commission.

33:29Reconsidered?

33:30Does he not like the design?

33:31He dislikes the price.

33:32Reduce it?

33:33Cannot be done.

33:34Not without detriment to the plans.

33:35What about our plans?

33:36There are other considerations.

33:37Think of Irene.

33:38How will she feel?

33:39I am thinking of Irene.

33:40I suspect she may not be as keen on the ideas, Soames.

33:42Oh.

33:43I'm sorry.

33:44Soames has reconsidered the commission.

33:45I'm sorry.

33:46I'm sorry.

33:47I'm sorry.

33:48I'm sorry.

33:49I'm sorry.

33:50I'm sorry.

33:51I'm sorry.

33:52I'm sorry.

33:53But it's fine.

33:54Soames has reconsidered the commission.

33:57Reconsidered?

33:58Does he not like the design?

33:59He dislikes the price.

34:00Reduce it?

34:01Cannot be done.

34:02Not without detriment to the plans.

34:03What about our plans?

34:04There are other considerations.

34:05Well, think of Irene.

34:06How will she feel?

34:07I am thinking of Irene.

34:08I suspect she may not be as keen on the ideas, Soames.

34:11Oh.

34:12Well, it is true.

34:13We'd hardly ever see each other, and we'd be just the two of them.

34:18But our wedding.

34:19I can't bear the thought of having to wait.

34:21Nor I, but...

34:22Mr. Bersinney.

34:23On further consideration, I believe the site will suit me well.

34:26Let us proceed.

34:27I'm sorry?

34:28You will build me a house at Robin Hill.

34:41I knew you'd come.

34:56Well, your father was right.

34:58We shouldn't have doubted you.

35:00And 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.

35:08Frances.

35:09We can salvage this.

35:10Our marriage.

35:11Your ascension.

35:12This is our moment.

35:13Frances, I'm sorry.

35:15For everything you worked for, everything you've done, you deserve a better return.

35:28I do.

35:29And I cannot give it.

35:33Yesterday, it struck me.

35:38Battling with psalms, fighting to impose my will on the company.

35:43My heart's not in it.

35:47Never was.

35:49I don't understand.

35:52What are you saying?

35:55Then 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.

36:25I'm sorry.

36:51I tried.

36:54You're very kind.

37:01I'm not kind.

37:05It's just...

37:08the thought of you being with...

37:14I won't give up.

37:17I swear it.

37:20I can't.

37:22I was breaking my away.

37:43There will be no divorce.

37:44no divorce. Your children will not be legitimized. You will suffer rejection from the family,

37:59the firm, from all of London.

38:10I accept that. I thought I'd molded you into something resembling a rational being. I was

38:30mistaken. So go. You were once interesting to me. Now you bore me.

38:52Goodbye, Francis.

38:59I love you.

39:06I love you.

39:14I love you.

39:21I love you.

39:33Where is he? Is he coming? I've been looking all over for the man of the hour. Where is dear

39:47Julian?

39:48I'm afraid he's just been called away. What such an auspicious day. How disappointing

39:55for you all. A small inconvenience. I trust we're more than capable of enjoying the festivities

40:02in his absence. Mr. Cole, I wonder if I might call upon you to transact some business for

40:08me?

40:09Yes, of course.

40:10My late father left a property in Camden which has lain empty for many years. I propose

40:15to donate it to the charity.

40:17Well, that's most generous.

40:19For conversion into suitable accommodation for needy women. Of course, I'm no expert, but

40:26perhaps you could advise me in matters legal and beyond.

40:30It would be a pleasure.

40:31Impressive performance. Isn't that how the higher species evolve? By their ability to

40:38adapt?

40:41I suspect you and I will work very well together.

40:46So, Joe's bolted. Shall I step in, say a few words, hand over to Soames and passing

41:01the torch, all that?

41:03I think on balance, no.

41:07No?

41:08I prefer to do the honours myself.

41:26Pray silence for her illustrious highness, Mrs. Anne Euphemia Isadora Forsyte.

41:33Dear friends, no doubt you are expecting an address from one of the male members of this

41:48firm. Instead, you have me. Perfectly placed to judge the merits and the demerits of this

41:56formidable clan. Since my arrival, there have been many newcomers to the force of the

42:02ranks. All of you will have wondered what you were letting yourself in for, before becoming

42:09foresights in your own right. So, what defines this family? What is a foresight? A foresight is

42:23someone who knows the value of loyalty. And family. And repute. We are tenacious. We are survivors. And we

42:42should never, ever be underestimated.

42:47Only a fool would underestimate you.

42:48Who are you, my love?

42:49Only a fool would underestimate you.

42:54Who are you, my love?

43:08Seems a shame to let a prime seat go to me. Oh, Monty, you wouldn't dare.

43:09I think I know my own worth, ready?

43:10Wiggins, remove the chair.

43:15Mm-hmm.

43:28Oh, thank you, sir.

43:35This should have been his moment

43:51You mean your moment

43:53Eyes on the camera please

43:57Holding it still now

44:05Right

44:11Mama, Harry Faulconer

44:22Yes

44:25It was you who paid him off

44:28Why would you do that

44:31My dear boy

44:33Let's enjoy the day

44:36We can speak of these things

44:38Some other time

44:39But Mama, who is he?

44:48He's my grandson

44:49Thank you

45:03Do you remember the day you proposed?

45:27Vividly.

45:28You 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.

45:58I came to finish the painting.

46:27There is no urgency.

46:30I believe there is.

46:32I wish to resume my work as an artist.

46:35An ambition I gave up ten years ago.

46:38As incompatible with the aims of my father and my wife.

46:44Well, don't mistake me. I'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.

47:00And now?

47:04It's done.

47:07I've resigned from the firm, from my family, from my marriage.

47:12You can't. What are you thinking?

47:15I'm thinking I can no longer lie to her, or to myself.

47:20Or to you.

47:20I want to paint.

47:26I want to be a father to our children.

47:29I want to live with you.

47:32We'll be outcasts. We'll be poor.

47:36I cannot give you my name.

47:40But I can give you my love.

47:42If you'll have me.

47:43Do you even need to ask?

47:58Do you even need to ask?
