00:00Some call it a fever, which robs the victim of rational thought.
00:10Some call it delirium, which fuddles the mind and curdles the blood.
00:17Some call it possession, which distorts reason and shatters sleep.
00:24Others call it love.
00:27But call it what you will, for a foresight, it can be both a blessing and a curse.
00:37Shall we join the family for breakfast?
00:41Let's spare ourselves.
00:43We'll have to pay some sooner or later.
00:45We should throw them a welcome dinner.
00:47Show the bride what a civilized household looks like.
00:50She'll get nothing useful from Emily or Winifred.
00:53I wonder how Francis will take it.
00:55A rival in the family.
00:58No longer Queen Bee.
01:01Well, she'll hardly be threatened by that slip of a girl.
01:04What a lovely thought.
01:08She can't seriously believe she's in love with Zones.
01:12Does she need to be?
01:13Madly.
01:14That's why I get married at all.
01:17Phil and I will be inseparable.
01:19We'll finish each other's sentences, think each other's thoughts.
01:22How exhausting.
01:24Well, I'm sad for you, Grandpa, that you've never known great passion.
01:27When did I say that?
01:31We'll grave the family tonight for drinks.
01:33But in the meantime, you can settle in and let Parder to fetch whatever you need.
01:41And where will you be?
01:43At the office.
01:45Persuading my father of our plans.
01:48And while I'm gone, why not make an imagery of everything you'd like to change?
01:52Change?
01:52My love, this is a bachelor's apartment.
01:56As a new husband, I naturally bow to my wife's superior taste.
02:02But if we're in Paris, we...
02:03On the rare occasions we return, I want everything to be just as you wish.
02:12Till dinner.
02:13Last night, um...
02:23Yes?
02:25I couldn't sleep for some reason.
02:29Nor I.
02:32How strange.
02:36Yes.
02:40I'll see you at dinner.
02:41Uh, uh, Wiggins.
02:59I have an errand for you.
03:00Salon Gold, up five and rising?
03:14As predicted.
03:15Not by all.
03:15I recall some advised caution.
03:17They'll be regretting it now.
03:18Will they ever learn?
03:20Ah, my boy.
03:21I'm here to see Mrs. Forsythe.
03:28Shall I announce you?
03:30No need, I know my way.
03:31Ah.
03:32Dear Irene.
03:35Welcome to the madness.
03:37This must all feel very daunting, but I'm here to help you navigate.
03:40Well, that's very kind of...
03:41Tomorrow night.
03:42You'll join us for dinner?
03:43And the day after, I'll take you into town, introduce you to all our preferred establishments.
03:47You'll want to open accounts, of course.
03:49Shall we say ten?
03:51Splendid.
03:52Right.
03:52Is there anything you require, ma'am?
04:03Um, your name?
04:06Partitor, ma'am.
04:08First name?
04:09Constance.
04:10Do your friends call you Connie?
04:12They do.
04:14May I call you Connie?
04:16Oh, ma'am, that wouldn't be fitting.
04:17I believe that's for me to decide.
04:19Does Mr. Soames have any other personal staff?
04:21He does.
04:22I'd love to meet them, please.
04:24Yes, ma'am.
04:27This is Knowles.
04:28Oh, first names.
04:30Oh, er...
04:31Teddy, Vallée.
04:34Betsy, parlourmaid.
04:35Simeon, footman.
04:37Betsy, Teddy, Simeon, Connie.
04:40I'm delighted to meet you.
04:41I'm not sure how long Mr. Soames and I will be staying, but I hope we have the chance to become better acquainted.
04:49Ma'am.
04:51Forgive me for saying.
04:52The lady of the house doesn't fraternize the servants.
04:55It might confuse them.
04:57They don't expect to be treated with respect.
05:00Well, I expect it.
05:01The least I can do is return the compliment.
05:03Is that understood?
05:05Perfectly, ma'am.
05:06Telegram did the trick, I see.
05:13No, I've actually returned earlier than planned to navigate any potential upheavals caused by world events.
05:22Such as?
05:23Famine in Africa, tornadoes in Bengal, conflict in Suez.
05:28Upheavals, which could lead to turbulence in the markets.
05:32Hmm.
05:33And Mrs. Soames?
05:36Is she aware of her duties?
05:38Well, as the wife of a prospective chairman, she'll need to rise to the occasion.
05:46And when the occasion arises, she will.
05:50Now, if you'll excuse me, Pa.
05:52Of course.
06:06Just the person I wanted.
06:08June, how are you?
06:10Engaged.
06:10To someone you actually like?
06:14Not that dreary Earl Mama was grooming me for.
06:17Pa came up trumps, said he could marry for love.
06:20Then he's a rare soul.
06:21My absolute hero.
06:23So, his name's Phil.
06:25He's an architect.
06:27We're not allowed to marry till he gets his first commission, but...
06:31I say, you don't fancy a house in the country?
06:33If it's just outside Paris.
06:36Well, speak to Phil.
06:37You'll love him.
06:38He's like us.
06:39I mean, you and I.
06:41Because you'll soon realise we are not typical foresights.
06:45What is typical foresight?
06:47Brace yourself.
06:47You're about to discover.
06:50Are you going into town?
06:51Shall we go together?
06:53Yes.
07:09Thank you for agreeing to see me.
07:20Last night, forgive me, I should never have come.
07:22But when I heard they were sick, I...
07:26It's a weakness they have.
07:29Holly especially.
07:30She's always been delicate.
07:33But we manage.
07:34I don't want you to manage.
07:36I...
07:36My stepdaughter June, her whole life, she's been lavished with all the luxuries money can buy.
07:42So why should they not have the same?
07:44Because they're not gentlefolk.
07:46They're my children.
07:47Don't say that.
07:50I'm sorry.
07:53But let me do something.
07:55Pay for their education, medicine.
07:58They need never know.
08:01I'm their father.
08:02I'm their father.
08:02I'd like to see them from time to time, if you'll let me.
08:12I'll consider it.
08:13I'm their father.
08:32Super word for something.
08:33Wait.
08:33Here.
08:37The other ledger, please.
08:38Right to your side.
08:39That's with him, that's yours.
08:39Thank you, sir.
08:40There you are.
08:41So how's Paris?
08:53Why do you ask?
08:54Rhetorically.
08:55Obviously it was bliss.
08:56All the more noble that he returned prematurely for the good of the firm.
09:00Having kept his ear to the ground.
09:01On his honeymoon.
09:02I've got wind of impending turbulence in the market.
09:05From where?
09:06The point being that in times of instability there are gains to be made.
09:08By those prepared to take calculated risks.
09:11Shouldn't we apply more of a cautious approach?
09:13So the long term picture becomes clear?
09:15Don't think he's suggesting that anyone should adopt the tactic.
09:19Just those adept in risk management.
09:21Over to you my boy.
09:23Excuse me.
09:38You went out after all?
09:48To Covent Garden for nectarines.
09:52Parcheter would have fetched them.
09:54Oh I wanted the air.
09:55I hate being cooped up all day.
09:56How's your father?
10:06Was he reassured?
10:09Hmm.
10:10My father.
10:14Yes.
10:16My father.
10:17My father.
10:21Appears robust.
10:22But for years now he's had issues with his heart.
10:26Oh I'm sorry.
10:27I had no idea.
10:28I'm thinking further.
10:30I'm realising we've been selfish.
10:34And rather than risk aggravating his condition.
10:37Perhaps we should adjust our plans.
10:41His health could fail at any moment.
10:44So I think for the present.
10:47We must remain here.
10:48You mean.
10:55Not to return to Paris.
10:59But if I miss the chance to audition.
11:01I'm sorry.
11:03It's not what either of us wished.
11:06But what can I do?
11:16We should dress for cocktails.
11:18My father will be there.
11:30Please don't mention this conversation.
11:34It'll only embarrass him.
11:41I believe I'm a little nervous.
11:42Oh Mama.
11:44I can't quite work her out.
11:46She seems a sweet thing.
11:47But I can't help thinking she's a little outré.
11:51Well her wedding dress was hardly a la mode.
11:53And according to her stepmother.
11:55She absolutely insisted on wearing it.
11:57Well one wonders if she'll want her own way in all sorts of matters.
12:00Sure same as we put a stop to that?
12:02I'm not so sure.
12:03He seems besotted.
12:04Can you blame him?
12:06I can't bear the idea of her running rings around him.
12:09Well she's no business doing anything but love, honour and obey.
12:12Oh my dears.
12:21Well.
12:23Here we are.
12:24It's good to be home.
12:35You're most welcome my dear.
12:37I checked with Mama.
12:42Only five courses for dinner.
12:44Pity.
12:44I was hoping to sink enough to last me three days.
12:46I could steal you some muffins from the kitchen.
12:50Would you?
12:51Yes.
12:51Please?
12:52When do I get to meet your family?
12:56Well, as you know, my mother is deceased and my father has very little time for me.
13:00Oh, good brute.
13:02Housebuilding is not to his mind a reputable profession.
13:04Dear Phil, I am now mulling a small pagoda for the garden.
13:12I advise against.
13:14Have you considered a Tibetan arch?
13:16I could have sworn that Soames said they'd been gone a month.
13:19Perhaps he got bored of her.
13:21Or she of him, personally, I wouldn't last five minutes.
13:24Well, no doubt you can ply her with questions at dinner tomorrow.
13:27Oh, I already have.
13:29We walked into town together.
13:31Oh.
13:32She's too good for Soames, of course, but you'll adore her.
13:37You too, Papa.
13:40Papa?
13:43I'm sorry, what?
13:45Well, Irene, you'll get on like our house on fire.
13:48In fact, I think she might prefer you to Soames.
13:52Who wouldn't?
13:53Well, my dear, we're a long way from Paris, but none the worse for that.
14:00And we must throw a ball in your honour, though I should warn you, James is a fiend for the polka.
14:06What?
14:07Isn't that rather boisterous?
14:09Well, no.
14:11Not for an athlete like myself.
14:13Well, I think it's time for us to retire.
14:17Early start tomorrow.
14:18Standards to set, etc.
14:19Indeed.
14:21Yes, now that Soames is stepping up, we're relying on you to do the same.
14:26You are a foresight now, my dear.
14:28Standards are high.
14:30So are the rewards.
14:36Good night to you all.
14:37I really seemed a little subdued.
14:54If you'd let me near her, I would have livened her up a bit.
14:59She asked me how I was.
15:01How the devil should I be?
15:03Fit as a fiddle, I told her.
15:04Perhaps she was tired of the journey from Paris.
15:06In a first-class carriage with Soames pandering to her every whim?
15:10I really hope she won't make life difficult for him.
15:13Well, I think she already has.
15:14My father seemed very spirited.
15:35He puts on a good show, so as not to alarm my mother.
15:39Well, I'll see you there.
15:41Good night.
15:46Good night.
15:55Open it.
16:15It's beautiful.
16:17I thought you could wear it close to your heart.
16:25I very much regret our change of plans.
16:46Perhaps in a year or so, we might reconsider.
16:52By then, my chance to join the ballet will have passed.
16:58And that grieves me.
17:00All we can do is take solace in each other.
17:05I believe we'll find much to enjoy if we dwell on our many blessings instead of what we've lost.
17:22June.
17:28June.
17:28You know, I saw you in Soho, watching the jugglers with them.
17:48I'm sorry that must have been
17:50Upsetting
17:51No more than for you
17:55Having to cut ties with your own children
17:58How can you bear it?
18:01When I married your mother
18:02I swore there'd be no difference
18:05In my love
18:06For you
18:07Or any other children she or her might have
18:09And sadly there have been no other children
18:12For me they do exist
18:15And my love for you
18:18Has only made it clear
18:19What I owe to them
18:21And I met with their mother
18:24In addition to her settlement
18:27When they reached their majority
18:28I've committed to educate and provide for them now
18:32And I intend to tell your mother this evening
18:37So say nothing to her before then
18:39I don't expect her to take it well
18:42Nor you
18:45What?
18:49What am I?
18:50A child
18:51Well I
18:52I met her
18:53I liked her
18:55And
18:56I do know that difficult decisions have to be made
19:00Such as you made
19:03Letting me and Phil get engaged
19:05You're not a bad person
19:35Till this evening
19:38Till this evening
20:05What is she doing
20:11What did she do?
20:12Look it's Jo
20:14Joel
20:14Hello
20:17Hello
20:21Do you have any children?
20:43A stepdaughter.
20:45Very bright, very clever.
20:47Our father was handsome.
20:48And clever.
20:49And fun.
20:51And a very great artist.
20:54Well, if you have such a gift, you should use it.
20:59Especially if that gift is an expression of who you are.
21:03Or used to be.
21:05And could be again.
21:11Uh, children, I think we must be going.
21:14Say goodbye.
21:15Goodbye.
21:16Goodbye.
21:16Yes.
21:32No, wait.
21:33Mum?
21:41Yes.
21:42Make the arrangements.
21:46Yes, I do.
21:46Get me that letter.
22:10What's happening?
22:12Telegram from Salon.
22:14Explosion of the mine.
22:15200 dead.
22:16Hundreds more injured.
22:17So Jimmy Buckland's dead?
22:18The locals are turning on what's left of management.
22:20And the share price?
22:21I can imagine.
22:27It's a disaster.
22:28It's a disaster.
23:26Can I just get one bag of marshmallows, please?
23:39Oh, of course, my dear.
23:44Miss Forsyte.
23:46Miss Louisa.
23:47I was buying marshmallows and I thought, why don't I bring some for the children?
23:53That's kind.
23:54May I?
23:56Now, take them upstairs.
23:59Oh, must they go?
24:01Please.
24:07They're adorable.
24:09Yes.
24:10Do you have any sick things?
24:14Four sisters, two brothers.
24:16Oh.
24:17Whereas, I'm an only child.
24:19Oh, so I thought.
24:25Was there anything else?
24:28What?
24:33Oh, oh, um, yes.
24:36I, I, I, I'd like to be fitted for a new gown.
24:41I'll fetch my measuring tape.
24:47This came while you were out.
24:48Oh, my God.
24:59Oh, my God.
25:02Hannah, I, I don't understand.
25:04How, how could this happen?
25:10Eviction?
25:12How on earth?
25:13I have no idea.
25:13Could it be a mistake?
25:14It must be, surely.
25:15Something amiss.
25:17Can I help?
25:18No, thank you.
25:19You're very kind, but...
25:20Is there someone who could advise you?
25:23Someone else who could help?
25:29Absolutely not.
25:30And I beg that you don't mention this.
25:35To anyone.
25:36To anyone.
25:36To anyone.
25:36To anyone.
26:05To anyone.
26:06Lest there be any doubt, collective panic can only inflame the situation.
26:21Salon Gold has suffered a setback.
26:24Some of our clients, those who invested large sums, will be feeling the pinch.
26:29The pinch?
26:30But at the end of the day, the choice to invest lies solely with them.
26:35Damn right.
26:37Everyone knows there are no guaranteed returns, and the contract they sign...
26:41Informs them of that, yes, but which of them bothers to read it?
26:43And whose fault is that?
26:45Ours. For not emphasising the risks.
26:48Theirs. For having their eye on the bigger prize.
26:51I, for one, do not accept that the responsibility is solely ours.
26:56And why does that not surprise me?
27:05In case you were wondering, that is what leadership looks like.
27:11A cool head in a crisis.
27:13A crisis of our own making.
27:14How could we have known?
27:16The scope of it.
27:18We couldn't.
27:19We gabbled.
27:23We lost.
27:25We lost.
27:25We lost.
27:39Ow!
27:42Mama!
27:43Let me help.
27:44What are you doing?
27:45I can manage.
27:48Mama!
27:50What is it?
27:51What is it?
27:58Your father has resumed relations with that woman.
28:06I blame her.
28:09He is weak, but she has entrapped him.
28:13Surely not.
28:13And if he can't be trusted to keep his distance, then the only solution is for her to be put out of his reach.
28:21For good.
28:36Could it be her doing?
28:37Of course it's her doing.
28:39I should never have agreed to see him again.
28:42You must write to him.
28:44Tell him.
28:44I don't want anything more to do with any of them.
28:47We'll simply pack up and go.
28:50But where?
28:51How will we live?
28:52How will our clients know where to find us?
28:57We'll manage.
29:12Good evening.
29:13Did you have a pleasant day?
29:30I went into town and met with Madam Lana.
29:33May I ask why?
29:35To engage her for lessons.
29:37And is such a hobby really compatible with your role as my wife?
29:52I don't regard it as a hobby.
29:54Go ahead, say it.
30:20Your old man got it wrong.
30:22I wasn't going to say anything.
30:23No, no, no.
30:24Let me have the grace to admit my mistakes.
30:28I didn't trust your instincts.
30:30Thought I knew best.
30:33Lesson learned.
30:35Perhaps I'm not the expert after all.
30:37Nothing to do with me.
30:57I claim no expertise.
30:59I simply follow advice.
31:02It was really quite shocking.
31:03Poor Monty was escorted from his club.
31:05Frog marched out.
31:06Like a criminal.
31:07Simply because several members, clients of mine, came a cropper with saline gold.
31:10And Dizzy Carswell.
31:12Threatened to thrash me.
31:13And how was it your fault he lost half his estate?
31:15Well, he can thank his stars.
31:16He wasn't Harry Faulkner.
31:18Harry Faulkner?
31:21Of Cavendish Square?
31:23Not for much longer.
31:25Poor devil's lost his entire fortune.
31:27Oh, here you are.
31:40We were just wondering, are you one of those wives who takes an interest in her husband's profession?
31:46I could be, but at present I know little of it.
31:49I believe it's essential for a man to keep his professional life separate.
31:53Why should a wife be plagued with his trials and tribulations?
31:55Because husband and wife should have no secrets from each other.
31:59But then where would the mystery be?
32:01Isn't that what keeps both parties on their toes?
32:06Can we speak?
32:08Not that I'm suggesting anything at all.
32:14And how are you so...
32:16What is it?
32:22Tell me.
32:22Whatever I tell you, no one can know it came from me.
32:35Summoned for an audience with the Mater.
32:37What's this about?
32:38Something I said?
32:57Harry Faulkner.
33:00Of Cavendish Square.
33:02Yes.
33:06Do you plan to cover his losses?
33:11Why on earth would we do that?
33:14I believe it's what your father would have wished.
33:16Well, with all due respect to the Pater's memory, I...
33:19You owe him this.
33:21Have you forgotten how he salvaged your reputations and sent you back on course after you'd been caught floundering?
33:27Floundering.
33:28If you mean our brief attachment to a certain lady...
33:32Alexandra Shepard.
33:34I do.
33:35So, what are you saying?
33:42That if you know what's best for all concerned, you will do right by Harry Faulkner.
33:50Well, if she couldn't pay the rent, why not tell me?
33:53I don't think that's the reason.
33:55I think someone wants to be rid of her.
33:59Someone wants her premises?
34:00Someone who wants her removed from their life.
34:06From their husband's life.
34:11Your mother wouldn't do that.
34:21Please, don't be too harsh with her.
34:25Will you speak to her tonight?
34:26No.
34:26That's something I have to do first.
34:31Okay.
34:56Well, are you ready to visit the Promised Land?
35:14Liberty's, my dear.
35:16It's the only place to shop.
35:17Hey, Joss.
35:41Did you fetch him with our own sister for me?
35:43We'll go on a little drive.
35:50Come on.
35:51Make a step now.
35:59Would you join me?
36:05Please.
36:07Can we, Mama?
36:08Mama, please.
36:09Please.
36:13God, they spent so much.
36:21True.
36:22But you'll soon come to realise you deserve it.
36:26My dear, your life is no longer your own.
36:29As a four-sided woman, you're expected to shine.
36:33To be a perfect hostess.
36:35To forge useful connections.
36:37To profess no controversial opinions.
36:39To pursue no scandalous habits.
36:41Am I committed a mind of my own?
36:42Of course.
36:45But be aware.
36:47The men like to think everything is their idea.
36:50And it's so much easier to let them.
36:52Why have we stopped here?
36:54Why have we stopped here?
36:57Why have we stopped here?
37:19Oh, er, thank you.
37:32Shall we go in?
37:34Door's unlocked.
37:34Go inside and have a look around.
37:39Why are we here?
37:40Who lives here?
37:49Do you like it?
37:51I love it!
37:54What is this place?
37:57Your home?
37:57I bought these from Fortnum's.
38:04What a kind thought.
38:06I don't know what to get for the gentleman.
38:07Sweet things can be bad for the constitution.
38:09Oh, don't worry about Monty.
38:11He's got the digestion of a hog.
38:13Oh, but James, is he not at all delicate?
38:16Oh, good Lord, no.
38:18Tough as old boot.
38:19Not today's sickness in his life.
38:20A brandy?
38:39Are you aware?
39:09That my children and their mother have been served with a notice of eviction?
39:16How would I know that?
39:23How would you know that?
39:26Are you still seeing her?
39:28I have seen her, yes.
39:31I intended to...
39:32Why are you seeing her?
39:35To inform her that her children will henceforth receive ongoing financial support.
39:39For their living and educational needs.
39:45I see.
39:49And I'll occasionally visit.
39:53Despite your assurance to me.
39:57I have reconsidered.
39:58I realise I owe it to them.
40:04To her.
40:07This is all about her.
40:09And what she's managed to extract from you.
40:11There has been no extraction quite the reverse.
40:14You've broken your promise.
40:16To me and to June.
40:17You've continued your affair.
40:21There is no affair.
40:22You're not even being honest with yourself.
40:26Are you honest?
40:29Are you being honest right now?
40:30How dare you suggest?
40:35I do suggest.
40:37I suggest you know very well Louise has been evicted because you are responsible.
40:40Oh, that's outrageous.
40:42And if honesty is really what you want, then I will tell you I am appalled that you would go to such lengths to destroy the lives of two innocent children.
40:49Who are also blameless.
40:50But you are not blameless.
40:54You have gone behind my back again and again and again.
40:59And to claim there is no affair.
41:03I cannot believe it.
41:05You won't believe it.
41:12Then make me believe it.
41:17Remove her from our lives.
41:20From London.
41:23Preferably abroad.
41:25So you are never again tempted to see her or her children for the rest of their lives.
41:34Do you require this of me, Frances?
41:38I do require it.
41:50I'm sorry.
41:51How was your trip with Frances?
42:15Illuminating.
42:16I discovered how ill-equipped I am to be a foresight wife.
42:21Well, Frances will teach you all there is to know.
42:29She's already taught me a great deal.
42:30Was it that day in the cafe with my friends?
42:55Is that when you changed your mind?
42:56I'm sorry, what?
42:58Or was it at the ballet?
43:00You were so quiet afterwards.
43:01Did something alarm you?
43:03I'm tired.
43:04I've had a taxing day.
43:05And was there really a telegram from your father?
43:08I told you there was.
43:11And does he actually have an issue with his heart?
43:13Why should you doubt my mother?
43:14Because your mother assures me he's never been ill in his life.
43:16Do you recollect when we met, you were grieving, practically destitute?
43:40Now, you have luxury, security, the chance to make your mark on London society.
43:51And what if that isn't what I want?
43:54Well, then I suggest you learn to want it.
43:59And count your blessings.
44:02You are my wife.
44:03And our life together can be exceedingly pleasant.
44:11Or it can be difficult.
44:14But the difficulty will be of your own making, not mine.
44:19But the difficulty will be of your own making, not mine.
44:49And it's hard to get it.
45:06Irene!
45:07Irene, don't go.
45:08Come and meet Phil.
45:15Irene.
