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...
05:02If you loved her...
05:09Why did you marry Mama?
05:25because your mother was is an incredible woman cultured caring kind and I valued that
05:38and those early days after Venice I was sometimes a little lost
05:45and had you known about her situation
05:52what would you have done
05:56I can't answer that
06:01you just did
06:05June wait
06:22give her time
06:29I don't underestimate the pain this has caused
06:35but I am here
06:37and I have no plans to be elsewhere
06:40then all shall be well
06:48you came
07:11did you doubt it
07:13forgive me
07:21yesterday I was overwhelmed
07:23I failed to observe the proper formalities
07:26allow me to make amends
07:28Miss Heron you have made me the happiest of men
07:35would you do me the honour
07:38of wearing this ring
07:40you dislike it
07:51no no how could I it's just
07:53I mean is this happening to me
07:57there must be so many more suitable women of your own station
08:00very many eminently suitable
08:04all art and polish and impeccable breeding
08:10whereas you are all nature
08:16and to me that is perfection
08:20may I now have the honour
08:35of introducing you to my family
08:37my love
08:41yes
08:43yes
08:44thank you
08:47thank you
08:53thank you
08:56that
09:01Mama was always fond of that one.
09:23She was a fine woman.
09:25Not a fast love, but...
09:28a lasting one.
09:31So, it's a full turnout tomorrow?
09:38What's this?
09:39Epsom races. Monty's horse is running.
09:42What could possibly go wrong?
09:43What 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?
09:51When one's nurtured a nag as I have, one feels a bond, a connection.
09:56You don't think of mounting her yourself, then?
09:58Do you know the thought had occurred?
09:59But the 2.30 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...
10:07Well, I believe by the end of tomorrow we'll have something to celebrate.
10:11To 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.
10:18The guinea on Miss Carteret?
10:19If you have a guinea to waste.
10:26It's always a blow to realize that someone you love is not perfect.
10:30Of course you want him to be.
10:36But he's fallen short.
10:40And I can't forgive him.
10:42Parents 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.
10:59And you may say, quite right.
11:01Whereas I would say,
11:04Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
11:10Chin up, my dear.
11:12Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.
11:14Yes, peaches!
11:24Come on, peaches!
11:25I told you!
11:26Go!
11:27Go, peaches!
11:28Come on, lady, peaches!
11:29Come on, lady, peaches!
11:31Yes, lady, peaches!
11:32Stand up!
11:35Go!
11:35Yes!
11:35Go!
11:36Go!
11:36Yes!
11:38Go!
11:39No, no, no!
11:40Go!
11:40Go!
11:41Go!
11:41Go!
11:42Go!
11:42Peaches!
11:44No, no, no, no!
12:15Damn it!
12:17I've been sold a pup, a turkey, a clunker, a veritable dud.
12:22But she did so well, Monty.
12:24She almost won.
12:29They need to fix that.
12:32How's Alicia?
12:34If we value your life, never ask if she's feeling tired or would like a chair.
12:39Oh, no, she already made that clear.
12:41I'm with child, Joe. I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
12:44How are things with Francis?
12:50It's just saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.
12:53Neither of us reckon with.
12:56And the implications are frankly severe.
13:06So, does Soames propose to join us, or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?
13:13Oh, Miss Carteret.
13:14Pa would have been proud to think we'd achieved nobility in three generations.
13:25Just to alert you.
13:27I haven't purchased any of our plans with the family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.
13:31Of course.
13:31Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron, my family.
13:42How do you do?
13:43Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.
13:48Not at all.
13:49I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.
13:54And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance,
13:57as Miss Heron has done me the honour of agreeing to be my wife.
14:02Congratulations.
14:17Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence, after which we depart for Europe.
14:22On your honeymoon?
14:23How thrilling.
14:24Where will you go?
14:25If tradition dictates that, must remain a secret.
14:29Heron, you say?
14:32Do we know that name?
14:35Who are your people, my dear?
14:37No one of consequence.
14:39My father was a professor, and my mother...
14:40Oh, could we please not subject Miss Heron to the Spanish Inquisition?
14:43No, no, no, indeed.
14:44That function belongs to me.
14:49The customary formalities?
14:52Yes, of course.
15:00Shall we?
15:06It's all right.
15:07We're on the way.
15:08I thought it best to get the ordeal out of the way as soon as possible.
15:11As to the wedding itself, you must save a fortnight from now is too soon.
15:15A fortnight?
15:17Surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
15:30Well, well.
15:41Your 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.
15:57Oh, Emily!
15:58She is.
16:00You'll like her.
16:02You must be fearfully in love.
16:04In love?
16:05The deuce does that mean?
16:07It means everything, trust me.
16:08This is not the match we were expecting.
16:13No, I see that.
16:15And to take the plunge now,
16:17when Joe's dug himself a hole,
16:19we've had a clear shot at the chairmanship
16:20and you're about to go gallivanting off around the continent?
16:24Perhaps we should just leave Joe to it.
16:25Are you serious?
16:28The insanity of it.
16:42I think I rather envy him.
16:45How?
16:47Daring to follow his heart.
16:50Did you?
16:52Did I?
16:54For God's sake, Emily.
16:57What sort of a question is that?
17:03Come along, Pudding.
17:05Shall we retire?
17:06Come on.
17:14Well, that was sheer purgatory.
17:20Absolute hell.
17:21Grinning like fools
17:24as 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.
17:42Yes.
17:47Somehow that never happened.
17:51How to know that you have children with another.
18:00The last thing I ever wanted
18:02was to cause you pain.
18:10We must protect June
18:11as much as we can from all this.
18:27You're not wearing that, are you?
18:48I mean, the Foresight ladies will never approve.
18:51Is it not sufficiently modish?
18:52My concern is that you don't embarrass yourself.
18:57You're stepping so far outside your milieu.
19:00I thank you for your concern, but I can only start as I mean to go on.
19:04By doing what feels right.
19:09For me.
19:19So, I was thinking Crimson.
19:22Or burgundy.
19:24My husband says don't be extravagant, which is rich coming from him, when 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.
19:34It's not as if I haven't hinted at it countless times, but 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.
19:47You know my cousin-in-law, Mrs. Francis Foresight?
19:51Yes.
19:51Yes.
19:54I, uh, I should perhaps warn you.
19:56I'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.
20:05Elsewhere?
20:05I 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, Joe.
20:16What?
20:17And his not-so-gilded youthful escapades.
20:20I congratulate you, cousin.
20:28Miss Heron seems an excellent choice.
20:33Perhaps one's reached an age where one is free to make a choice without succumbing to family pressures.
20:42One lives in hope.
20:43Joe, fathered the dressmaker's children.
20:51Well, well, well.
20:54The 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.
21:03For 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 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.
21:18Such behaviour is...
21:19Yes, Monty?
21:20What is it?
21:25I might be looking in my club.
21:31Does he perform any useful function?
21:34He could, given 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.
21:44The board meets tomorrow, yes.
21:46And your plan is to expel Joe 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.
22:00Excuse me.
22:07Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and welcome, esteemed lecturer and philanthropist,
22:12Mrs. Ellen Parker Barrington.
22:14You believe you have no voice.
22:19I believe the same.
22:21I've been confused, ignored, disrespected in my time.
22:27Oh, but trust me, I'm under no illusion.
22:30It is my wealth, my standing, which now confers power, commands respect, demands attention.
22:39My late husband owned woolen mills in the north, once viewed his workers as commodities, expendable, but he was brought to see them as precious human souls.
22:54Worthy of respect, of dignity, of proper recompense.
23:03So, change is possible.
23:08And I owe those who have not been as fortunate as I to challenge ignorance and injustice wherever I see it.
23:20I invite you to do the same.
23:42Mr. Renegade.
23:45Mr. Bacconet.
23:46What brings you here?
23:48The same as you.
23:49A wish for a rational argument?
23:50A disgust for an equality.
23:53Would you, would you care for some cake?
24:05So you're an architect.
24:06How splendid.
24:08I should introduce you to my family, they'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.
24:16Now 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 if it's such a nonsense.
24:28I suspect your mother does.
24:30What she doesn't know can't hurt her.
24:32Do you have a card?
24:33Do 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 garretts.
24:56Proposal 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...
25:23Last-minute addition to the agenda.
25:33Item five.
25:35Reputational risk and remedial action.
25:38So here we are.
25:40Here we are.
25:45Let battle commence.
25:46Large 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.
26:09All 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.
27:31I had a relationship prior to my marriage with a young woman I met in Venice.
27:34Some days ago I learned that,
27:36when we parted, she was with a child.
27:39Twins, to be precise.
27:41Now ten years of age, living with their mother in London.
27:44And distasteful, as some of you doubtless may find it.
27:48Distasteful?
27:49Try scandalous.
27:51Inexcusable.
27:51What we can't ignore is that many of our clients will
27:54find 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, more, for goodness sake.
28:12Gentlemen, please.
28:17May I ask what brings you here today?
28:20Curiosity.
28:20This is most irregular.
28:23We do not admit, ladies, into the inner sanctum.
28:27Oh, the inner sanctum.
28:29That solely exists because I paid for it.
28:34Can I not see what my marriage settlement bought?
28:37Mater?
28:38The matter in hand?
28:40Concerns the 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.
28:51For the good of the family name.
28:52Ah.
28:53Our sainted family.
28:56Our sainted family.
28:57Our 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.
29:27Though I trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of company funds.
29:32Oh, rest assured, I 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.
29:58Disappointing.
30:00Has to go.
30:02With regret.
30:05I propose that Jolion Forsyte be expelled from the company.
30:17All those in favor.
30:27This next fight, um, thank you.
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 are content.
30:41Do you think you have the right to deprive them by 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 to have a better life?
30:51Have you given the slightest thought to how my life has been since we parted?
30:55No, I can only imagine.
30:59Can you?
31:00A girl, two infants, no one to turn to.
31:04Gradually, to take a fierce pride in knowing that she could provide.
31:07To have raised two beautiful souls, single-handed.
31:14Why would I, why would they, need any more than what we have?
31:21Mama, will you come?
31:22There's jugglers.
31:23Will you come?
31:26Whoa, hang on.
31:27Let's go, faster!
31:37What was that?
31:39Yes!
31:41itime!
31:42Yes!
31:42Yeah!
31:43That one!
31:44Yeah!
31:45Oh!
31:46Yeah!
31:53Hey!
31:57Yeah!
32:00Yeah!
32:05Yeah!
32:07they're beautiful
32:10they are
32:11if you told me
32:14I would have come for you
32:15your family would have cut you off
32:18you'd be living in disgrace
32:19and knowing all of that I still would have come
32:22it wasn't to be
32:26no, it wasn't
32:28goodbye Joe
32:37I would have come for you
33:07Mr. Ennecate
33:15can I be of assistance?
33:24no one can
33:25can I at least offer you some cocoa?
33:37I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills
33:51even a stepfather with feet of clay
33:55he's utterly betrayed me
33:59I can see it must seem that way
34:02if you'd seen him
34:04with them
34:05smiling adoringly
34:09as if I didn't even exist
34:12you exist to me, Mr. Ennecate
34:14I do
34:17I see you
34:19clear as day
34:21I should go
34:27I really shouldn't be here at all
34:30I'm glad you were
34:31I see you
34:47I see you
34:49I see you
34:50I see you
34:51I see you
34:51I'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.
35:51I just spoke to your father.
35:58Don't you want to know how it went?
36:00The vote?
36:06I can guess.
36:08In your favour.
36:10How?
36:11You're not to be expelled.
36:13So the chairmanship can now be yours.
36:19You 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.
36:46How do you see that?
36:49My commitment to you and June is absolute.
36:55So tell me, my dear.
37:00Are you prepared?
37:05For what?
37:06The Forsyte family.
37:08Are you aware of its peculiarities?
37:11Everyone has been welcoming.
37:14And Soames?
37:16What 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.
37:45And it will be a dance.
37:49Whether the Pavan or a Tarantella.
37:52Or a Padida.
37:56And you?
37:59Are you in love?
38:00Oh.
38:03I have tremors.
38:06My pulsed races and I feel faint.
38:09Some poets call that love.
38:12What would you call it?
38:15A prelude.
38:16A prelude.
38:18To something deeper.
38:23I hope you find it.
38:24I trust she wasn't too fierce.
38:34She was kind.
38:38You didn't mention Paris.
38:39Should I have done?
38:41Time enough to address that when we're there together.
38:44Planning our future.
38:46To our wedding day.
38:47To our wedding day.
38:48Hmm.
38:49So, do we think this wedding is a love match?
38:51How can anyone not marry for love?
38:55Because love is only part of what makes a marriage.
38:56Respect.
38:57Patience.
38:58Belief.
38:59These also matter.
39:00And that's what you had with Papa.
39:01Yes.
39:02You know, we're not too happy.
39:03I love the love.
39:04I love the love.
39:05I love the love.
39:06I love the love.
39:07I love the love.
39:08a love match. How can anyone not marry for love? Because love is only part of what makes
39:16a marriage. Respect, patience, belief. These also matter. And that's what you had with
39:29Papa. Have. Still. This could have been the event of the season, rather than some low-key hole-in-the-corner
39:56travesty. I just wish it hadn't come so soon. Soon, Emily? You've had him at home his entire
40:04life. It's just the thought of losing him to someone we don't really know, who might
40:19wish to keep him all to herself. Yes, well, that's the least of it. Instead of idling around
40:25Europe, he could be here planning our next strategy. Do you like it, Mama? Monty assures
40:35me it costs the earth. Nothing's too good for my Freddy. A man of business can afford such
40:39tribals. Lord help us.
40:49heaven's sake, Irene, the carriage will be here any minute. I hope I'm as blessed as they
40:59were. Can you ever doubt it? In the resources at Mr. Forsyte's disposal? His willingness to
41:06uproot his entire existence for your sake. I meant theirs was a love match.
41:15And yours is? I don't yet know what to call it. He told me it would be all that I dreamt
41:26of. And more. Then I suggest you count your blessings and get dressed.
41:33instructions, and this gives me time. I wish it could be a good one and
41:35see you, Mr. Forsyte. Where is he? He is with me? You are
41:38with me with me, thank you for your grace. This is it for his last day. You are
41:39with me, he is with me, your friends. My friends, you are with me, he is with me.
41:41I'm with my friends, you're with me, my friends, him, your friends. I have
41:44the same нар
42:29Perhaps she's had a change of heart.
42:40If she has any sense.
42:42Mama, where is she?
42:44I don't know.
42:59Mama, where is she?
43:29Mama, where is she?
43:59Mama, where is she?
44:29Mama, where is she?
44:34The true love is what matters.
44:37A meeting of minds.
44:39A conjunction of souls.
44:42That is what matters.
44:44Good.
44:45We agree.
44:46Come on.
45:16Come on.
45:46You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on from them.
45:58That 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.
47:22a man, I never knew him.
47:29So?
47:37Yeah.
47:38Yeah.
