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

09:53I do you

10:16Whoわ does

10:17Who 是

10:17Who

10:18Who

10:19Who

10:19Women

10:20Who

10:21Who

10:22Who

10:23Who

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.

12:33Yeah.

12:53How many years have you been told?

12:54This is by the family.

12:56How's your love?

12:57This is by the family.

12:57Yeah.

12:58Yeah.

12:59Yeah.

13:00Yeah.

13:31What 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.

13:59Indeed.

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.

15:09Oh, that's right.

15:10And yet, might some of these women benefit more from an atonement-based model?

15:18Atonement?

15:19Interesting word.

15:21As you know, our aim is never to judge, but to support.

15:26Whether or not they deserve it.

15:29But I know I speak for many when I say that to ignore some of the damage done by these women to decent, upstanding families

15:37is an obstacle to many who might wish to contribute.

15:42Perhaps you should form your own charity.

15:44Won the prizes, correction and penance above indiscriminate handouts.

15:49I wish you luck.

15:52I sense you have your reasons.

16:02You must do what you think best.

16:22When 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.

16:40You will, however, refrain from discussing our arrangement with anyone, particularly my wife.

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

16:55Of course.

16:55What is it?

17:22Tell me.

17:23I was ordered not to say.

17:27By who?

17:29Sam's Forsyte.

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

17:33May I speak with you?

18:03With 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.

18:37My mama said you're good at drawing.

18:39Will you draw us?

18:40I could.

18:47I could.

18:50No, no, no, no, no.

18:51You, you go on painting.

18:59May I?

19:00Yes.

19:01Yes.

19:02Yes.

19:15Much better than Joss.

19:18May we keep it?

19:19My mama will love it.

19:21I know something she'd like.

19:22I 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.

20:07You have to pretend.

20:08When Soames tells you, look surprised or he'll be furious with me.

20:11But isn't it just the best of news?

20:14Of course, I can get married and get abused in your house and fill such a day.

20:19Mrs. Forsyte?

20:37Is your husband...

20:38No.

20:41Are 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.

21:01Thirty miles from London.

21:01Spectacular views.

21:02No other dwelling for miles around.

21:06As for the purpose...

21:09Is 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.

21:38Mrs. Forsyte?

21:42Mrs. Forsyte!

21:44Forgive me.

21:47I could pretend to misunderstand your distress, but who would that serve?

21:49It 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.

21:56That's not the word I used.

22:01It was implied.

22:06And it's not...

22:07inaccurate.

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.

22:21That won't...

22:22He'll let 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.

22:33I'm arrogant enough to believe there'll soon be another.

22:35I really don't know what to say.

22:46Say absolutely nothing.

22:47Say absolutely nothing.

22:47Mama!

22:52We have a surprise for you.

22:58Close your eyes.

23:13Open your eyes.

23:27Do you like it, Mama?

23:30Uh, go and play outside.

23:41Do we have to?

23:42Yes, please.

23:42And you do not know what to say.

23:52Please.

23:54Oh...

23:55Yes?

24:21I've brought some preliminary designs with costings.

24:25Your efficiency bodes well.

24:36Some 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!

24:55I was just leaving.

24:56Good day to you both.

25:02Why was he here?

25:03I had thoughts of commissioning a house.

25:05We have a house.

25:06Of our own.

25:07Away from these prying, gossiping...

25:10Who do you mean?

25:11Your family has been nothing but kind.

25:12My thought was to remove ourselves from the city altogether.

25:15To the countryside where we might have room to breathe.

25:18And 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.

25:35To see if you've come to your senses.

25:53Or are you still minded to favour your mistress over your wife?

26:08She's not my mistress.

26:10Why do people 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.

26:19You know why I left our home?

26:21Because I couldn't agree to cease contact with my children.

26:29Well, as to that...

26:37I might be willing to reconsider.

26:51Reconsider how?

26:59I give a little.

27:02You give a little.

27:04We both want the same thing.

27:06You.

27:09Home.

27:12In time for the gala.

27:21Harry Falkenar.

27:27Yes?

27:27Writing 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.

27:38Then who?

27:40Then why?

27:43Quite the mystery.

27:46Yes.

27:51I was thinking about that day we met.

28:22It seems an age ago.

28:25And still we barely know each other.

28:29I disagree.

28:35Perhaps it's that we just want such different things.

28:40Is this about Paris?

28:41Paris is when I first realised.

28:43What?

28:44How...

28:47Unalike we are.

28:48I look forward to seeing what you've chosen for the gala.

29:09It's important to make an impact.

29:10You should wear your new necklace.

29:27Slightly alarming.

29:29Talk of Joe returning home.

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

29:35Thought I should mention, planning 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.

29:46I'll bear that in mind.

29:47What'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.

29:57Well, 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.

30:06Nothing to do with their own greed.

30:08Or willful ignorance.

30:09Everything to do with our obligation to urge them not to put their eggs in one basket.

30:12No matter how guaranteed the returns, or by how much commission we stand to make.

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

30:19Yes?

30:20What is it?

30:23Morally bankrupt.

30:27That's priceless.

30:27Our would-be chair, the most degenerate member of the firm,

30:31presumes to preach morality to the rest of us.

30:34To the man who knowingly capsized the Durham Mining Company, thereby ruining their investors,

30:38including his own future father-in-law, making his wife-to-be destitute.

30:46She doesn't know, does she?

30:50And this from the man who's conveniently jilted his wife,

30:54so he can debauch his mistress and fawn over his brats!

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

31:24Yes!

31:25A big chance!

31:25Jolian is late.

31:55No, my love, I really think we might be happier if we left it out.

32:02And how was the garden, Marty?

32:03I heard it was exploitive.

32:04Yes, it was.

32:05Shall we leave, Marty?

32:06Hi.

32:07Hi, hi.

32:08Hi, hi.

32:09Stay classy.

32:10Quite like it was in the grail.

32:12You're a scrumptious distraction in love.

32:16How did you laugh?

32:18It's okay.

32:19It's okay.

32:20It's okay.

32:21It's okay.

32:22It's okay.

32:23It's okay.

32:33Quite right, too.

32:38Is Jolian proposing to make some sort of grand entrance?

32:42He'll be here, rest assured.

32:44Exciting.

32:45where's joe did he not leave with you he left ahead of me i thought he'd be here

32:53right it's so exciting i can't quite believe it we're getting married

37:54You will suffer rejection from the family.

37:57The firm from all of London.

38:09I accept that.

38:22I thought I'd molded you into something resembling a rational being.

38:27I was mistaken.

38:32So go.

38:35You were once interesting to me.

38:38Now you fool me.

38:43Goodbye, Francis.

38:53I'll do this.

38:54I'll do this.

38:56I'll do this.

38:58Oh, my God.

39:28Where is he? Is he coming?

39:43I've been looking all over for the man of the hour. Where is dear Jolyon?

39:47I'm afraid he's just been called away.

39:51What such an auspicious day.

39:54How disappointing for you all.

39:56A small inconvenience.

39:59I trust we're more than capable of enjoying the festivities in his absence.

40:03Mr. Cole, I wonder if I might call upon you to transact some business for me.

40:09Yes, of course.

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

40:14I propose to donate it to the charity.

40:17Well, that's most generous.

40:19For conversion into suitable accommodation for needy women.

40:23Of course, I'm no expert, but perhaps you could advise me in matters legal and beyond.

40:30It would be a pleasure.

40:31Impressive performance.

40:34Isn't that how the higher species evolve?

40:36By their ability to adapt.

40:38I suspect you and I will work very well together.

40:45So, Jo's bolted.

40:56Shall I step in, say a few words, hand over to Soames and passing the torch, all that?

41:02I think on balance.

41:05No.

41:07No?

41:08I prefer to do the honours myself.

41:10Pray silence for her illustrious highness, Mrs. Anne Euphemia Isadora Foresight.

41:40Dear friends, no doubt you are expecting an address from one of the male members of this firm.

41:49Instead, you have me.

41:52Perfectly placed to judge the merits and the demerits of this formidable clan.

41:59Since my arrival, there have been many newcomers to the Foresight ranks.

42:04All of you will have wondered what you were letting yourself in for, before becoming Foresights in your own right.

42:13So, what defines this family?

42:19What is a Foresight?

42:22A Foresight is someone who knows the value of loyalty.

42:28Foresight is someone who knows the value of loyalty, and family, and repute.

42:36We are tenacious.

42:38We are survivors.

42:41And we should never, ever be underestimated.

42:46Only a fool would underestimate you.

43:12Or you, my love.

43:16Seems a shame to let a prime seat go to me.

43:28Oh, Monty, you wouldn't dare.

43:29I think I know my own worth, ready?

43:31Wiggins, move the chair.

43:32This should have been his moment.

43:51You mean your moment.

43:56Eyes on the camera, please.

43:58Holding it still now.

44:00Now.

44:02Right.

44:11Right.

44:12Right.

44:20Mama.

44:21Harry Falconer.

44:24Yes?

44:26It was you who paid him off.

44:28Why would you do that?

44:32My dear boy.

44:34Let's enjoy the day.

44:37We can speak of these things some other time.

44:39But, Mama, who is he?

44:48He's my grandson.

44:49He's my son.

44:50He's my son.

44:51He's my son.

44:52He's my son.

44:53He's my son.

44:54He's my son.

44:55He's my son.

44:56He's my son.

44:57He's my son.

44:58He's my son.

44:59He's my son.

45:00He's my son.

45:01He's my son.

45:02He's my son.

45:03He's my son.

45:04Do 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.

46:26There is no urgency.

46:28I believe there is.

46:31I wish to resume my work as an artist.

46:33An ambition I gave up ten years ago, as incompatible with the aims of my father and my wife.

46:41Well, don't mistake me.

46:44I've been blessed.

46:45I've had wealth, status, a beautiful wife, an adorable stepdaughter.

46:48And I could have gone on living a comfortable, privileged half-life if you hadn't walked into that room on June's 18th birthday.

47:01And now?

47:03It's done.

47:04I've resigned from the firm, from my family, from my marriage.

47:10You can't.

47:12What are you thinking?

47:13I'm thinking I can no longer lie to her or to myself.

47:17What are you?

47:18I want to paint.

47:19I want to be a father to our children.

47:24I want to live with you.

47:26We'll be outcasts.

47:27We'll be poor.

47:28I cannot give you my name.

47:30But I can give you my love.

47:31If you'll have me.

47:32Do you even need to ask?

48:00Oh, my God.
