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.
05:19So...
05:20If you loved her...
05:22Why did you marry Mama?
05:26Because your mother was, is.
05:31An incredible woman.
05:34Cultured, caring, kind.
05:36And I valued that.
05:41In 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?
05:58I can't answer that.
06:03You just did.
06:06June, wait.
06:22Give her time.
06:28I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.
06:34But I am here.
06:36And I have no plans to be elsewhere.
06:46Then all shall be well.
06:48You came.
06:49Did you doubt it?
07:02Forgive me.
07:03Yesterday I was overwhelmed.
07:04I failed to observe the proper formalities.
07:06Allow me to make amends.
07:08Allow me to make amends.
07:09Oh.
07:10Miss Heron, you have made me the happiest of men.
07:14Would you do me the honour of wearing this ring?
07:15No.
07:16No.
07:17No.
07:18No.
07:19No.
07:20No.
07:21No.
07:22No.
07:23No.
07:24No.
07:25No.
07:26No.
07:27No.
07:28No.
07:29No.
07:30No.
07:31No.
07:33Miss Heron, you have made me the happiest of men.
07:37Would you give me the honour of wearing this ring?
07:50You dislike it?
07:51No, no, how could I? It's just...
07:53I mean, is this happening to me?
07:58There must be so many more suitable women of your own station.
08:01Very many.
08:02Eminently suitable.
08:05All art and polish and impeccable breeding.
08:12Whereas you are all nature.
08:18And to me that is perfection.
08:20May I now have the honour of introducing you to my family?
08:40My love?
08:41Yes!
08:42Yes!
09:14Mama was always fond of that one.
09:23She was a fine woman.
09:25Not a first love, but a lasting one.
09:36So, 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?
10:00But 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.
10:18A 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...
10:37He'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.
10:51Even 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.
11:23Yes, Peaches!
11:24Come on, Peaches!
11:25I told you!
11:26Go!
11:27Go, Peaches!
11:28Come on, lady, Peaches!
11:29No, come on!
11:30Go, Peaches!
11:31Go,ę™®!
11:32No, no!
11:34Say, die!
11:35Go away!
11:36Yes!
11:39Go!
11:39No, no, no!
11:40Go!
11:40No!
11:41No!
11:41No!
11:42Peaches!
11:43Go!
11:44Go!
11:45Go!
11:47Go!
11:47Go!
11:48Go!
11:48Go!
11:48No!
11:50No!
11:52No!
11:54No!
11:56No!
11:58No!
12:00No!
12:02No!
12:04No!
12:06No!
12:08So close!
12:10So close!
12:12You donkey!
12:14Damn it!
12:16I've been sold a pup!
12:18A turkey!
12:20A clunker!
12:22A veritable dud!
12:24But she did so well Monty!
12:26She almost won!
12:28They needed to fix that.
12:32How's Alicia?
12:34If we value your life,
12:36never ask if she's feeling tired
12:38or would like a chair.
12:40Oh no, she already made that clear.
12:42I'm with child Joe, I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
12:46How are things with Francis?
12:50Just saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.
12:52Neither of us reckon with.
12:56And the implications are frankly severe.
12:58So does Soames propose to join us?
13:10Or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?
13:12Ah, Miss Carteret.
13:14I would have been proud to think we'd achieved nobility in three generations.
13:18Just to alert you.
13:26I haven't purchased any of our plans with the family,
13:28so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.
13:30Of course.
13:32Ah.
13:34Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron, my family.
13:40How do you do?
13:44Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.
13:48Oh, not at all. I'm delighted
13:50to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.
13:53Hmm.
13:54And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance.
13:58As Miss Heron has done me the honour of agreeing to be my wife.
14:02Huh.
14:03Uh-oh.
14:13Congratulations.
14:17Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence,
14:19after which we depart for Europe.
14:22On your honeymoon?
14:23How thrilling.
14:24Where will you go?
14:25Tradition dictates that must remain a secret.
14:29Haron, you say?
14:31Do we know that name?
14:35Who are your people, my dear?
14:37No one of consequence.
14:38My 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.
14:45That function belongs to me.
14:49The customary formalities?
14:52Yes, of course.
15:00Shall we?
15:01Yes.
15:06It's all right.
15:07All right.
15:08I thought it best to get the ordeal out of the way as soon as possible.
15:12As to the wedding itself, you must save a fortnight from now is too soon.
15:15A fortnight?
15:17Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
15:20Good.
15:21Step one.
15:22We're home.
15:23We're home.
15:24All right.
15:25Ah.
15:30Well, well.
15:31Well, well.
15:32your mother is seriously displeased

15:54enough she seems rather lovely oh emily
15:57she is you'll like her you must be fearfully in love in love the deuce does that mean it means
16:07everything trust me this is not the match we were expecting no i see that and to take the plunge now
16:16when joe's dug himself a hole we've a clear shot of the chairmanship and you're about to go
16:21gallivanting off around the continent perhaps we should just leave joe to it
16:25are you serious
16:28the insanity of it
16:40i think i rather envy him
16:44how
16:46daring to follow his heart
16:49did you
16:51did i
16:53for god's sake emily
16:55what sort of a question is that
16:59come along pudding
17:05shall we retire
17:06well that was sheer purgatory
17:16absolute hell
17:21grinning like fools as if our whole lives were not on the rack
17:25i know what makes this even worse
17:34we always wanted children of our own
17:37yes
17:43somehow that never happened
17:48now to know that you have children with another
17:54the last thing i ever wanted was to cause you pain
18:03we must protect june as much as we can from all this
18:13peace
18:15no
18:15that's it
18:17no
18:25hard
18:27this system
18:28the
18:31the
18:31the
18:32what
18:34the
18:35the
18:39you're not wearing that are you i mean the foresight ladies will never approve
18:50is it not sufficiently modish my concern is that you don't embarrass yourself you're
18:57stepping so far outside your milieu i thank you for your concern but i can only start
19:02as i mean to go on by doing what feels right
19:06so i was thinking crimson or burgundy my husband says don't be extravagant which is rich coming
19:26from him when he outspends his allowance every month and then blames me because he has no
19:30profession it's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company
19:34and it's not as if i haven't hinted at it countless times but i just keep saying we have a reputation
19:38to uphold at foresight and co foresight but your name's darty yes by marriage foresight by birth
19:46you know my cousin-in-law mrs francis foresight yes yes
19:52i uh i should perhaps warn you i'm snowed under with orders it could be months before your gown
20:00is ready in which case i'd quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere elsewhere i should think
20:07not and her tone almost as if she was wishing me gone and why would that be thank your cousin joe
20:15what and his not so gilded youthful escapades
20:20i congratulate you cousin miss heron seems an excellent choice
20:30thank you
20:31perhaps one's reached an age where one is free to make a choice
20:36without succumbing to family pressures
20:39one lives in hope
20:43joe fathered the dressmaker's children
20:50well well well
20:53the dirty dog
20:55how appalling
20:57but it does play into our hands
20:59how so
21:00you wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock
21:02for our purposes it serves us to portray him as a libertine
21:06the callous seducer the
21:07neglectful father
21:09i mean any of these could be said to jeopardize the reputation of the firm
21:12but it happened before he and francis met
21:14some might call it a youthful indiscretion
21:16well they'd be wrong
21:17such behavior is
21:19yes monty
21:19what is it
21:21i might be looking at my club
21:26does he perform
21:32any
21:33useful function
21:34he could
21:35given a chance
21:36if this is yet another bid to give him a role
21:39not a role
21:40a seat on the board
21:41you are joking
21:43the board meets tomorrow yes
21:45and your plan is to expel joe from the company
21:48do you have a majority
21:50are you sure you couldn't use an extra vote
21:53well

21:58he'll vote whichever way you tell him to

22:29i'm under no illusion
22:30it is my wealth
22:32my standing
22:34which now confers power
22:36commands respect
22:37demands attention
22:39my late husband
22:41owned woolen mills
22:43in the north
22:44once viewed his workers as commodities
22:47expendable
22:49but he was brought to see them
22:52as precious human souls
22:54worthy of respect
22:57of dignity
22:59of proper recompense
23:02so
23:03change is possible
23:07and i owe those who have not been as fortunate as i

24:19i like to think i have an open mind

27:00i'm afraid
27:02there have been alarming rumors
27:04implicating one of our own
27:05which
27:06should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients
27:08could lead them to take their business
27:10elsewhere
27:11what rumors are these
27:13concerning a
27:14senior partner
27:15debauching
27:17a serving man
27:18that is not what happened
27:19that is not who she was
27:21and those are not the circumstances
27:22and for those of you as yet
27:23in the dark
27:24my nephew
27:26i had a relationship prior to my marriage
27:33with a young woman i met in venice
27:34some days ago i learned that
27:36when we parted she was with child
27:38twins to be precise
27:40now ten years of age living with their mother in london
27:42and distasteful
27:45as some of you doubtless may find it
27:47distasteful
27:48try scandalous
27:50inexcusable
27:51what we can't ignore is that many of our clients will find such liaison distasteful
27:56but of course they will
27:57because such things have never happened in respectable families
28:05good lord
28:06what a nurse
28:07and it'll be the first misstep
28:08that this family has ever made
28:11well ma for goodness sake
28:12gentlemen please
28:13may i ask what brings you here today
28:19curiosity
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
28:33can i not see what my marriage settlement bought
28:37mater
28:38the matter in hand
28:40concerns the irrevocable damage to company reputation
28:44should joe remain within its ranks
28:46we are inviting him to step away
28:48for the good of the family name
28:51for the good of the family name
28:52ah

28:57devoid of scandal

29:01skeletal remains
29:04yes but the effect
29:09the damage to our reputation
29:11there will be no damage
29:12the matter can be hushed up
29:13and the girl paid off
29:14please allow me to deal with this
29:18if we could be certain of the girl's discretion
29:23we could agree to turn a blind eye
29:27but
29:27though i trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of company funds
29:32i'm rest assured
29:34i have no intention of asking anyone here to take responsibility for my obligations
29:38the fact remains i have two children
29:41of whom i'm not ashamed
29:44nor of myself

31:44Come on!
31:45Come on, come on!
31:46Come on, come on!
31:48Come on!
31:50They're beautiful.
32:11They are.
32:13If you told me, I would have come for you.
32:17Your family would have cut you off.
32:18You'd be living in disgrace.
32:20And knowing all of that, I still would have come.
32:25Wasn't to be.
32:26No, it wasn't.
32:30Goodbye, Joe.
32:31Goodbye, Joe.
32:52Goodbye.
32:52Goodbye.
32:53Mr. Ennecate.
33:21Can I be of assistance?
33:23No one can.
33:30Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?
33:48I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills.
33:51Even a stepfather with the feet of clay.
33:57He's utterly betrayed me.
34:00I can see it must seem that way.
34:02If you'd seen him with them, smiling adoringly, as if I didn't even exist.
34:13You exist to me, Mr. Ennecate.
34:16I do.
34:18I see you.
34:20Clear as day.
34:21I should go.
34:27I really shouldn't be here at all.
34:29I'm glad you were.
34:30I'm glad you were.
34:31I'm glad you were.
34:32I stay.
34:33I'm glad you're here.
34:34I'm glad you were.
34:37I'm glad you're here.
34:38I'm glad you're here.
34:40What was it?
35:11Come.
35:18I've brought Miss Heron to see you.
35:21I congratulate you.
35:24Thank you, Grandmama.
35:26For catching them all unawares.
35:30But not you.
35:32The Carteret girl was too obvious.
35:34Not your type at all.
35:39Bring her to me.
35:41I just spoke to your father.
35:58Don't you want to know how it went?
36:01The vote?
36:01I can guess.
36:08In your favour.
36:10How?
36:12You're not to be expelled, so the chairmanship can now be yours.
36:15You must see what this now affords us.
36:24A golden opportunity.
36:28For you to recommit.
36:31To your family.
36:33The firm.
36:34Our life together.
36:46How do you see that?
36:49My commitment to you and June is absolute.
36:52So, tell me, my dear.
37:03Are you prepared?
37:06For what?
37:07The Forsyte family.
37:09Are you aware of its peculiarities?
37:12Everyone has been welcoming.
37:14And Soames, what do you know of him?
37:19What can you tell me?
37:24Soames has never loved before.
37:26That he does so now is significant.
37:29You will want for nothing.
37:31You'll be mistress of all you survey.
37:34My wants are modest.
37:35And 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, I have tremors.
38:07My pulse races and I feel faint.
38:10Some poets call that love.
38:12What would you call it?
38:15A prelude.
38:17To something deeper.
38:23I hope you find it.
38:30I trust she wasn't too fierce.
38:36She was kind.
38:39You didn't mention Paris.
38:41Should I have done?
38:43Time enough to address that
38:44when we're there together
38:45planning our future.
38:51To our wedding day.
38:52So, do we think this wedding
39:08is a love match?
39:10How can anyone not
39:11marry for love?
39:14Because love is only part
39:16of what makes a marriage.
39:19Respect.
39:20Patience.
39:23Belief.
39:25These also matter.
39:27And that's what you had
39:28with Papa.
39:32Have.
39:35Still.
39:50This could have been
39:52the event of the season.
39:54Rather than some low-key
39:56hole-in-the-corner travesty.
39:57I just wish it hadn't
39:58come so soon.
40:00Soon, Emily?
40:02You've had him at home
40:03his entire life.
40:04It's just the thought
40:16of losing him
40:17to someone
40:17we don't really know
40:18who might wish
40:20to keep him all to herself.
40:22Yes, well,
40:22that's the least of it.
40:24Instead of idling
40:25around Europe,
40:26he could be here
40:27planning our next strategy.
40:29Do you like it, Mama?
40:34Monty assures me
40:35it costs the earth.
40:36Nothing's too good
40:37for my Freddy.
40:38A man of business
40:39can afford such trifles.
40:43Lord help us.
40:44For heaven's sake, Irene,
40:55the carriage will be here
40:56any minute.
40:58I hope I'm as blessed
40:59as they were.
41:00Can you ever doubt it?
41:02In the resources
41:03at Mr Forsyte's disposal.
41:05His willingness to uproot
41:06his entire existence
41:08for your sake.
41:09I meant theirs
41:09was a love match.
41:14And yours is?
41:19I don't yet know
41:20what to call it.
41:23He told me
41:24it would be all
41:26that I dreamt of
41:27and more.
41:29Then I suggest
41:29you count your blessings
41:30and get dressed.
41:40Mama.
41:44Mama.
42:14perhaps she's had a change of heart.
42:39If she has any sins.
42:42Mama, where is she?
42:44I don't know.
42:45Mama.
44:20To trust no one but myself, to think for myself, to do only what my heart tells me.
44:28What does it tell you?
44:34That true love is what matters.
44:37A meeting of minds.
44:39A conjunction of souls.
44:41That is what matters.
44:43Good.
44:45We agree.
45:04More, more.
45:07More.
45:10More, more.
45:13More, more.
45:21More.
45:24More.
45:27More.
45:33You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on from them.
45:59That wasn't what I said.
46:03It was implied.
46:06I said my commitment to you is beyond doubt.
46:10But to suggest that I've moved on from them would 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.
46:23My children were conceived of love.
46:25But 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.
47:09For what?
47:13Showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed.
47:21Till I met you.
47:22I met you in this house.
47:27I 민주 said one and I had to go.
47:31Oh, my God.
47:34I love you working on trust.
47:36Why not stand it?
47:37No, my Don.
47:38I win the same log.
47:38I love you.
47:38I love you man.
47:40I love you man.
47:41Iove you man.
47:43Oh, my God in my life.
47:45Oh, my Lord.
47:46Oh, my God.
47:47We are gone.
47:49It is enough to do something.
