Transcript

00:00Is the heart capable of boundless love?

00:16Or as it gives to one, does it take from another?

00:30Must there always be winners and losers?

00:44Can you still lose?

00:49Even when you think you've won?

00:51And is the game of love ever really over?

01:21Here. Let me.

01:37Leave it on. It suits you.

01:51For God's sake, stop fiddling.

02:00Here. Get out.

02:06Stupid girl. She's hopeless.

02:09Here. Let me.

02:17Any word from Papa?

02:21I haven't given him much thought.

02:34Do 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.

02:43Poor Frances.

02:44She's done her best, but she's never managed to tame him.

02:47Of course, you scarcely know them, but trust me,

02:48Frances will be smarting.

02:54Please continue.

02:58Of what will we speak?

03:00Uh.

03:02What?

03:04Of how no one knows what goes on inside a marriage.

03:07Except the two people in it.

03:10I beg to differ.

03:11What you and Soames have is plain for all to see.

03:15We're off to the park.

03:18Would you care to join us?

03:20That's kind, but I'm meeting June.

03:22What fun.

03:24So lovely that June has a companion her own age.

03:27Shall we go?

03:30Your wife has a mind of her own.

03:38But isn't that why you married her?

03:40Of course.

04:03I, um, a man got carried away.

04:05Well, I was spared.

04:06Well, I should leave you in peace.

04:13Move into my club.

04:15No, 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 our own dear Horatio engaged to young Countess Avery.

04:50Fellow moth enthusiast.

04:52Sweet girl who matches him in temperament and rank.

04:57And how is June?

04:58And soames, you Forsytes make such bold matrimonial choices.

05:03Uh, shall we see you at the Parker Barringtons?

05:06If you prefer to keep a low profile, I do understand.

05:09Pure speculation.

05:21But if people are starting to question.

05:35Where are we going?

05:36You must promise not to tell because soames will be furious.

05:40Soames?

05:40Isn't she enchanting?

06:07It's wrong, Marie.

06:08Good morning, sir.

06:20Julian.

06:22Will you be making an appearance at the gala?

06:26He will indeed, cousin.

06:28In fact, he will be giving the opening address.

06:31It is, after all, the 50th anniversary and so highly appropriate for the heir apparent at

06:36this great juncture in our company's history to lay out his vision for the future.

06:43As for your marital situation, it is not ideal.

06:47So mend it, then return home to your excellent wife who has done absolutely nothing to merit

06:56your desertion and thus allay any doubts about your fitness to lose.

07:01Is 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.

07:08And the fact that you keep pushing me tells you that I was nowhere near ready to take a

07:12back seat?

07:13Well, perhaps you're right.

07:14But having seen you make the right call when I so spectacularly failed to do so,

07:21I am content with my decision.

07:24It's been a struggle, but trust me, I have a plan.

07:42Ah, my dear, you and I understand each other, always have.

07:46Knew from the moment we met that you would be the jewel in our crown.

07:50Our task now is to bring the boy home in time for the gala.

07:53Leave that to me.

08:00You must.

08:05I'd like to thank you for allowing us to what you've done.

08:09My pleasure.

08:10No.

08:11Would you excuse me, pal?

08:14You wouldn't.

08:16Oh, I would.

08:17My dear, shall we go?

08:21Must we?

08:23Hmm.

08:23You used to say you never wanted children.

08:44I also said I wanted to live in a hut in Tahiti and paint sunsets.

08:47What happened to that plan, eh?

08:51At least I'll get to watch your child grow up.

08:54And have some influence in their life.

08:57Try not to set a bad example.

09:00And to your own children?

09:01I think we both know you still have much to give.

09:09You seem a little out of sorts.

09:26Perhaps I'm still mourning.

09:30Your father?

09:31My life.

09:34Or rather, the one I was promised.

09:37My dear, need we revisit this?

09:40Paris was a beautiful dream.

09:41Which you led me to believe you shared.

09:42For reasons beyond our control.

09:44We are here.

09:47And there is much to be grateful for.

09:49There is.

09:51But I cannot pretend it's what I would have chosen.

09:53But I cannot pretend it's what I would have chosen.

10:22I take it you don't expect visitors.

10:39No, not as a rule.

10:42I have a question.

10:43Yes.

10:45Why 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,

11:13where would he begin?

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

11:22Harry Faulkner.

11:38Yes?

11:39Your 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?

11:48Call it a moral obligation.

11:52Your late grandfather and I, we...

11:55We knew his mother.

11:57Who was she?

11:58After she fell on hard times,

12:00your grandfather provided a home,

12:02a 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?

12:22Kindly make the necessary arrangements.

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

12:26Yes.

12:27Your own affairs.

12:29Get a grip on them, dear.

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

12:34It's me.

12:43Yes.

12:44Yeah.

12:51He's got the Mooji.

12:53How many lives do you have in the room?

12:54Mrs. Parker Bear.

12:55I'll do that.

12:57I'll do it again.

12:58Yeah.

12:59How many lives do you have in the room?

12:59I'll do it again.

13:00Yeah.

13:01Yeah.

13:32What a flattering gown, Miss Louisa.

13:38Alas, no.

13:40I 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.

13:53Can't imagine why.

13:54Perhaps she feared condemnation after her brave confession.

13:58So courageous.

13:59Indeed.

13:59The cause of fallen women, such a complex one.

14:04Is it not?

14:13What is this place?

14:15I believe it's called Robin Hill.

14:16Your experience is limited.

14:24I 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.

14:41I do not underestimate my worth, however others may choose to.

14:45So, an uncritical presumption of need.

14:58A commitment to provide unconditional support so that these women can begin to help themselves.

15:05As dear Louisa has demonstrated.

15:11And yet, might some of these women benefit more from an atonement-based model?

15:18Atonement?

15:20Interesting word.

15:21As 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.

16:04When could you commence?

16:32I'm sorry?

16:32You wish to...

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

16:39At once, if you wish.

16:44You 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.

17:02What is it?

17:22Tell me.

17:24I was ordered not to say.

17:25By who?

17:30Sam's foresight.

17:32What on earth could he have to say?

17:33I was ordered not to say.

17:34Hey.

18:02May I speak with your mama?

18:03Mama went out.

18:05Oh.

18:06Will you come in?

18:07I'll ask Hannah to make some tea.

18:11Yes.

18:12But only for a moment.

18:22You like painting?

18:24I do.

18:25But Mama says I must practice more.

18:27Well, these are excellent.

18:32I mean, you really capture the bird's feathers.

18:35Mama said you're good at drawing.

18:38Will you draw us?

18:39I could.

18:40No, no, no.

18:41You go on painting.

18:46May I?

18:47Yes.

18:48May I?

18:49Yes.

18:50Yes.

18:51May I?

18:52Yes.

18:53Yes.

18:54Yes.

18:55May I?

18:56Yes.

18:57Yes.

18:58Yes.

18:59Yes.

19:00Much better than Joss.

19:01May we keep it?

19:02Mama will love it.

19:03I know something she'd like.

19:04I know something she'd like.

19:05hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu.

19:06Yes.

19:07My little Теперь.

19:08Yes.

19:10Witnesses

19:31Are you not bursting with joy?

19:49I 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?

19:58Did Soames not mention?

20:01Oh my God.

20:02I'm so sorry.

20:04Phil said it was a secret, but I never thought from you.

20:07You have to pretend.

20:08When Soames tells you, 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 is such a dangerous man.

20:19I know it's a nice man.

20:20Mrs. Forsyte?

20:37Is your husband...

20:38No.

20:39Are you coming?

20:47Is this about the commission?

20:48No.

20:49Yes.

20:50I hardly know.

20:52Do you have questions?

20:54Many.

20:54About the design?

20:55About the site.

20:57And the purpose.

21:00The site I can answer for.

21:0130 miles from London.

21:02Spectacular views.

21:02No other dwelling for miles around.

21:03As 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.

21:27Mrs. 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 will effectively be your prison.

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

22:01It was implied.

22:06And it's not...

22:08inaccurate.

22:14Then all that remains is to find a way to make a graceful exit.

22:18What?

22:19What do you mean?

22:19But I can't be the one that will...

22:22Helloat your husband and devastate June.

22:24I must make him withdraw of his own accord.

22:28But June will be distraught.

22:30And you?

22:30It's your first commission.

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

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

22:46Say absolutely nothing.

22:47Mama!

22:52We have a surprise for you.

23:13Close your eyes.

23:13Open your eyes.

23:29Do you like it, Mama?

23:30Mama!

23:39Go and play outside.

23:41Do we have to?

23:42Yes, please.

24:12I've brought some preliminary designs with costings.

24:25Your efficiency bodes well.

24:35Some mistake, surely.

24:37As in several, not too many.

24:41To design a property befitting the status and the magnitude of a gentleman such as yourself.

24:46I 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 to age you both.

24:57Why 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.

25:16To 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.

25:26You asked to see me?

25:56Ah, yes.

26:00To 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.

26:19You know why I left our home?

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

26:26You know why I left our home.

26:27You know why I left our home.

26:28You know why I left our home.

26:29Well, as to that...

26:33I might be willing to reconsider.

26:39I consider how.

26:55I give a little.

27:00You give a little.

27:03We both want the same thing.

27:07You.

27:09Home.

27:12In time for the gala.

27:13Harry Falkenar.

27:26Harry 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.

27:38Then who?

27:39Do you?

27:40Then why?

27:43Quite the mystery.

27:46Yes.

27:51Oh, my God.

27:56OK.

27:59Ah.

28:00Ah, this is 100%.

28:01Ah, this is 100% to me.

28:03Ah, this is 100%.

28:03Ah.

28:04Ah, this is 100%.

28:05Ah.

28:06Ah.

28:07Ah.

28:07Ah, I say 100%.

28:08I was thinking about that day we met, it seems an age ago, and still we barely know each other.

28:28I disagree.

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

28:38Is this about Paris?

28:41Paris is when I first realised.

28:43What?

28:44How...

28:47...unalike we are.

29:05I look forward to seeing what you've chosen for the gala.

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

29:09You should wear your new necklace.

29:13You should wear your new necklace.

29:15You should wear your new necklace.

29:51the future at our gala I can hardly wait care to give us a taster not

29:57especially well let me guess profit is the devil caution is king and if our

30:02clients lose money it's up to us to bail them out it is due to us giving poor

30:06advice then yes nothing to do with their own greed or willful ignorance everything

30:10to do with our obligation to urge them not to put their eggs in one basket no

30:13matter how guaranteed the returns or by how much commission we stand to make and

30:18say otherwise is just yes what is it morally bankrupt that's priceless I would be

30:29chair the most degenerate member of the firm presumes to preach morality to the

30:33rest of us to the man who knowingly capsized the Durham mining company

30:37thereby ruining their investors including his own future father-in-law making

30:41his wife-to-be destitute

30:46she doesn't know does she and this from the man who's conveniently jilted his wife

30:53so we can debauch his mistress and fawn over his brats

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

31:11is this the type of leadership you're after he's comparing the other

31:22and the other's what he wants to know does this have a lot of the

31:25chances that he uh...

31:39Julian is late.

31:57No, my lord, I really think we might be happier if we left.

32:02And how was the garden party?

32:04I heard it was exquisite.

32:05Yes, it was.

32:05Shall we leave money?

32:09I think that's it.

32:10I think that's it.

32:14You're a scrumptious distraction in my heart.

32:19I'm a pleasure.

32:20I'm a pleasure.

32:21I'm a pleasure.

32:22I'm a pleasure.

32:23Let anyone see him?

32:24Hey.

32:33So much to have a taste.

32:35Quite right, babe.

32:39Is Jolian proposing to make some sort of grand entrance?

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

32:45Exciting.

32:49Where's Joe?

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.

33:06Do excuse me.

33:06It's so exciting.

33:09From Soze?

33:18You guessed.

33:21Reminds me of one my late husband gave me.

33:25Haven't worn it in years.

33:26We had a splendid time today.

33:29Oh.

33:30Give him love, Mrs. Forsythe.

33:36Forsythe.

33:37You have so much time.

33:42Soames has reconsidered the commission.

33:47Reconsidered?

33:48Does he not like the design?

33:50He dislikes the price.

33:52Reduce it?

33:53Cannot be done.

33:54Not without detriment to the plans.

33:55What about our plans?

33:57There are other considerations.

33:58Well, think of Irene.

33:58How will she feel?

33:59I am thinking of Irene.

34:03I suspect she may not be as keen on the idea as 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, I can't bear the thought of having to wait.

34:21Nor I.

34:22Mr. Bassini, on further consideration, I believe the site will suit me well.

34:26Let us proceed.

34:27I'm sorry?

34:29He will build me a house at Robin Hill.

34:31I knew you'd come.

34:57Well, your father was right.

34:58We shouldn't have doubted you.

35:01And 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.

35:08Francis.

35:09We can salvage this.

35:10Our marriage.

35:12Your ascension.

35:13This is our moment.

35:15Francis, I'm sorry.

35:21For everything you worked for, everything you've done,

35:25you deserve a better return.

35:28I do.

35:32I cannot give it.

35:36Yesterday, it struck me.

35:40Battling with Soames, fighting to impose my will on the company.

35:43My heart's not in it.

35:47Never was.

35:48I don't understand.

35:53What are you saying?

35:58Then I'll never cease to love you.

36:02Respect, admire.

36:03Provide for you.

36:07I'll never return to the phone.

36:08All this house.

36:13All this house.

36:15Now, let's pray for you.

36:39Now.

36:40I'm sorry.

36:52I tried.

36:59You're very kind.

37:01Not kind.

37:04It's just...

37:06the thought of you being with.

37:13I won't give up.

37:17I swear it.

37:19I can't.

37:36There will be no divorce.

37:49Your children will not be legitimized.

37:54You will suffer rejection from the family.

37:59The firm.

38:02From all of London.

38:04I accept that.

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

38:29I was mistaken.

38:30So go.

38:35You were once interesting to me.

38:41Now you bore me.

38:52Goodbye, Francis.

38:53I know this.

38:58I think...

38:59I'm so sorry.

39:01I hope to see this.

39:06I hope to see it.

39:08I forgot.

39:10I Hang on.

39:12I'll be amazed at you.

39:14I'm sorry.

39:14I won't.

39:17I forgot to see it.

39:17I'm sorry.

39:18But...

39:18You are.

39:18Where is he? Is he coming?

39:43I've been looking all over for the man of the hour.

39:46Where is dear Julian?

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

39:51What's such an auspicious day?

39:55How disappointing for you all.

39:57A 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.

40:14Yes, I 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'll be a pleasure.

40:32Impressive performance.

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

40:37By their ability to adapt.

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

40:54So, Joey's bolted.

40:57Shall I step in, say a few words, hand over to Soames and passing the torch, all that?

41:02Well, I think on balance, no.

41:07No?

41:08I prefer to do the honours myself.

41:11Pray 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 firm.

41:49Instead, you have me.

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

41:58Well, then, since my arrival, there have been many newcomers to the Forsyte ranks.

42:04All of you will have wondered what you were letting yourself in for

42:08before becoming Forsytes in your own right.

42:14So, what defines this family?

42:19What is a Forsyte?

42:21A Forsyte is someone who knows the value of loyalty.

42:30And family.

42:33And repute.

42:36We are tenacious.

42:38We are survivors.

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

42:51Only a fool would underestimate you.

43:12Or you, my love.

43:21Seems a shame to let a prime seat go to me.

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

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

43:31Wiggins, move the chair.

43:32This should have been his moment.

43:52You mean your moment.

43:56Eyes on the camera, please.

43:58Holding it still now.

44:02Wait.

44:11Wait.

44:12Right.

44:20Mama.

44:21Harry Falconer.

44:25Yes?

44:26It was you who paid him off.

44:30Why would you do that?

44:31My dear boy, let'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.

44:49I'm just a cute little boy.

44:55Hey!

45:02Yes.

45:04What the hell?

45:04Come on!

45:05Look at this.

45:06Look at this.

45:06What the hell?

45:07Oh, I'm a handsome man.

45:07Go!

45:08Come on!

45:08Look at this.

45:08Look!

45:09Go!

45:10Go!

45:11Go!

45:12Go!

45:12God!

45:12Go!

45:13Go!

45:14Go!

45:15Go!

45:16Go!

45:17Go!

45:18do you remember the day you proposed vividly you said to me

45:30if we were unable to make a success of our marriage

45:34then you would release me

45:37i cannot imagine seeing any such thing

45:48huh

45:51huh

45:55huh

45:57huh

45:59huh

46:03huh

46:09huh

46:14huh

46:17I came to finish the painting

46:27There is no urgency

46:28I believe there is

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

46:34An ambition I gave up

46:36Ten years ago

46:38As incompatible with the aims

46:40Of my father and my wife

46:42Don't mistake me, I've been blessed

46:46I've had wealth, status

46:48A beautiful wife, an adorable stepdaughter

46:50And I could have gone on living

46:55A comfortable, privileged half-life

46:57If you hadn't walked into that room

46:59On June's 18th birthday

47:00And now?

47:04It's done

47:05I've resigned

47:07From the firm

47:09From my family

47:10From my marriage

47:12You can't, what are you thinking?

47:15I'm thinking I can no longer lie to her

47:17Or to myself

47:18Or to you

47:20I want to paint

47:24I want to be a father

47:27To our children

47:28I want to live with you

47:30We'll be outcasts

47:34We'll be poor

47:34I cannot give you my name

47:37But I can give you my love

47:41If you'll have me

47:44Do you even need to ask?

47:58To our children

48:00This is our family

48:00Thank you

48:01To our children

48:03And now

48:06Welcome to the family
