00:01Is the heart capable of boundless love?
00:11Or as it gives to one, does it take from another?
00:25Must there always be winners and losers?
00:31Can you still lose?
00:44Even when you think you've won?
00:52And is the game of love ever really over?
01:00No.
01:16Here. Let me.
01:18Leave it on. It suits you.
01:35For God's sake, stop fiddling! Here. Get out.
01:53Stupid girl. She's hopeless. Here. Let me.
01:54Any word from Papa?
01:58I haven't given him much thought.
01:59Hmm.
02:00Oh.
02:01Hmm.
02:02Do we think Joe will come skulking back into the room?
02:03I can't.
02:04Oh.
02:05Do we think Joe will come skulking back in time?
02:06I can't fathom what possessed him to leave home at all.
02:07Oh.
02:08Oh.
02:09Oh.
02:10Oh.
02:11It's all waltzing round the office bold as brass.
02:12Hmm.
02:13Hmm.
02:14Poor Frances.
02:15She's done her best but she's never managed to tame him.
02:16Of course you scarcely know them but trust me.
02:17Francis will be smarter.
02:18Oh.
02:19Oh.
02:20Oh.
02:21Oh.
02:22Oh.
02:23Oh.
02:24Oh.
02:25Oh.
02:26Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:28Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:30Oh.
02:31Oh.
02:32Oh.
02:33Oh.
02:53Oh.
03:00No-one knows what goes on inside a marriage, except the two people in it.
03:05I beg to differ.
03:07What you and Soames have is plain for all to see.
03:11We're off to the park.
03:14Would you care to join us?
03:15That's kind, but I'm meeting June.
03:17What fun.
03:19So lovely that June has a companion her own age.
03:22Shall we go?
03:25Your wife has a mind of her own.
03:30But isn't that why you married her?
03:35Of course.
03:36I, um, a man got carried away.
04:00Glad I was spared.
04:01Well, I should leave you in peace.
04:08Move into my club.
04:10No, you don't need to do that.
04:11But maybe you should ask Francis to reconsider her terms.
04:14Dear Francis, where have you been?
04:34No-one's seen you or dear Julian in weeks.
04:36We've been enjoying the peace and quiet of home.
04:38Then perhaps you've not heard our own dear Horatio engaged to young Countess Avery.
04:45Fellow moth enthusiast.
04:47Sweet girl who matches him in temperament and rank.
04:52And how is June?
04:53And Soames, you Forsytes make such bold matrimonial choices.
04:57Shall we see you at the Parker Barringtons?
05:01If you prefer to keep a low profile, I do understand.
05:12Pure speculation.
05:14But if people are starting to question.
05:30Where are we going?
05:32You must promise not to tell because Soames will be furious.
05:34Soames?
05:35Isn't she enchanting?
06:02It's wrongly.
06:05Good morning, sir.
06:15Julian, will you be making an appearance at the gala?
06:21He will indeed, cousin.
06:23In fact, he will be giving the opening address.
06:26It is, after all, the 50th anniversary and so highly appropriate for the heir apparent at this great juncture
06:32in our company's history to lay out his vision for the future.
06:38As for your marital situation, it is not ideal.
06:46So mend it.
06:47Then return home to your excellent wife who has done absolutely nothing to merit your desertion.
06:52And thus, allay any doubts about your fitness to...
06:56Is this actually something you want?
06:58As in?
06:59Did you ever really intend to retire?
07:01Why would you doubt it?
07:02Because you're still young.
07:03And the fact that you keep pushing me...
07:05Tells you that I was nowhere near ready to take a back seat?
07:08Well, perhaps you're right.
07:09But having seen you make the right call,
07:13when I so spectacularly failed to do so,
07:17I am content with my decision.
07:19It's been a struggle.
07:35But trust me, I have a plan.
07:37Ah, my dear.
07:38You and I understand each other.
07:40Always have.
07:41Knew from the moment we met that you would be the jewel in our crown.
07:45Our task now is to bring the boy home in time for the gala.
07:48Leave that to me.
07:55You must.
08:00I'd like to thank you for allowing us to what you've done.
08:04My pleasure.
08:05No.
08:07Would you excuse me, Pa?
08:08No, I swear.
08:09You wouldn't.
08:11Oh, I would.
08:12My dear, shall we go?
08:16Must we?
08:18Hmm.
08:18You used to say you never wanted children.
08:39I also said I wanted to live in a hut in Tahiti and paint sunsets.
08:42What happened to that plan, eh?
08:46At least I'll get to watch your child grow up.
08:49And have some influence on their life.
08:52Try not to set a...
08:54bad example.
08:55And to your own children?
08:58I think we both know you still have much to give.
09:00You seem a little out of sorts.
09:24Perhaps I'm still mourning.
09:26Your father?
09:26My life.
09:27My life.
09:29Or rather, the one I was promised.
09:32My dear, need we revisit this?
09:35Paris was a beautiful dream.
09:36Which you led me to believe you shared.
09:37But for reasons beyond our control...
09:39We are here.
09:42And there is much to be grateful for.
09:44There is.
09:44But I cannot pretend it's what I would have chosen.
09:48Let's go.
10:18I take it you don't expect visitors?
10:34No. Not as a rule.
10:37I have a question.
10:38Yes.
10:39Why would a gentleman trust the architect of such squalor?
10:45With the design and build of a country house?
10:47Well, if you're at all familiar with the creative process...
10:49I'm familiar with the works of great artists.
10:52Then you'll appreciate that chaos can be the mother of inspiration.
10:56And in your inspired opinion,
11:03were a gentleman to contemplate the commissioning of a country house,
11:08where would he begin?
11:09You have a visitor.
11:15Waiting in the boardroom.
11:29Harry Faulkner.
11:30Your father and uncle refuse to offer compensation,
11:37so you will cover his losses from funds that I'll provide.
11:41Why would you provide it?
11:43Call it a moral obligation.
11:45Your late grandfather and I, we...
11:49We knew his mother.
11:52Who was she?
11:53After she fell on hard times,
11:55your grandfather provided a home,
11:57a family,
11:57a trust for the child,
11:59which has recently matured
12:01and was squandered on your uncle's advice
12:04in the goldmine debacle.
12:05And the child's father?
12:06I couldn't tell you.
12:10Couldn't or won't?
12:17Kindly make the necessary arrangements.
12:20And while you're at it...
12:21Yes.
12:22Your own affairs.
12:24Get a grip on them, dear.
12:27It'll be the making of you.
12:36It'll be the making of you.
13:06What a flattering gown, Miss Louisa.
13:33Alas, no.
13:34I was obliged to discontinue our arrangement.
13:38Service was disappointing.
13:40Oh, you surprise me.
13:42I find her excellent.
13:44Although, tediously,
13:46she's now moved to the back of beyond.
13:47Can't imagine why.
13:49Perhaps she feared condemnation
13:51after her brave confession.
13:53So courageous.
13:54Indeed.
13:55The cause of fallen women.
13:57Such a complex one.
13:58Is it not?
13:59What is this place?
14:10I believe it's called Robin Hill.
14:16Your experience is limited.
14:19I've graduated top of my year.
14:20Youthful enthusiasm is no substitute for skill.
14:26One certainly wouldn't wish to pay a premium for it.
14:29Indeed.
14:30One would expect that any fee,
14:33however small,
14:34would be gratefully seized upon.
14:35Then one would be mistaken.
14:37I do not underestimate my worth,
14:39however others may choose to.
14:40So, an uncritical presumption of need.
14:53A commitment to provide unconditional support
14:57so that these women can begin to help themselves.
15:01As dear Louisa has demonstrated.
15:03And yet,
15:07might some of these women benefit more
15:10from an atonement-based model?
15:13Atonement?
15:15Interesting word.
15:16As you know,
15:18our aim is never to judge,
15:20but to support.
15:22Whether or not they deserve it.
15:25But I know I speak for many
15:26when I say
15:27that to ignore some of the damage done
15:30by these women
15:30to decent, upstanding families
15:32is an obstacle to many
15:34who might wish to contribute.
15:37Perhaps you should form your own charity,
15:39one that prizes correction and penance
15:42above indiscriminate handouts.
15:44I wish you luck.
15:49I sense you have your reasons.
15:57You must do what you think best.
16:02When could you commence?
16:26I'm sorry?
16:28You wish to...
16:29Commission some preliminary drawings
16:31so that I may assess your suitability.
16:34At once, if you wish.
16:39You will, however,
16:40refrain from discussing our arrangement
16:41with anyone,
16:44particularly my wife.
16:46You understand that this is to be a surprise?
16:50Of course.
16:50What is it?
17:17Tell me.
17:18I was ordered not to say.
17:22By who?
17:25Sam's foresight.
17:27What on earth could he have to say?
17:28Hey.
17:56Hey.
17:56May I speak with your mama?
17:59Mama went out.
18:01Oh.
18:02Will you come in?
18:03I'll ask Hannah to make some tea.
18:07Yes.
18:08But only for a moment.
18:18You like painting.
18:19I do.
18:20But mama says I must practice more.
18:26Well, these are excellent.
18:29I mean, you really capture the bird's feathers.
18:32Well, master, do you're good at drawing?
18:34Will you draw us?
18:42I could.
18:45No, no, no, no.
18:46You, you go on painting.
18:54May I?
18:56Yeah.
18:56Yes.
19:10Much better than Joss.
19:13May we keep it?
19:14Mama will love it.
19:16I know something she'd like.
19:18I know it's meant to be a secret, but of course you know.
19:47Phil's commission to build a house for you and Soames.
19:50But they agreed yesterday.
19:51Sorry, what?
19:52Did Soames not mention that...
19:55Oh, my God.
19:57I'm so sorry.
19:59Phil said it was a secret, but I never thought from you.
20:02You have to pretend.
20:03When Soames tells you, look surprised or he'll be furious with me.
20:06But isn't it just the best of news?
20:09Because I can get married and you get abused in your house and Phil is such a damn thing.
20:14Mrs. Forsyte?
20:31Is your husband...
20:33No.
20:34Will you come in?
20:42Is this about the commission?
20:43No.
20:44Uh, yes.
20:45I hardly know.
20:47Do you have questions?
20:49Many.
20:49About the design?
20:50About the site.
20:52And the purpose?
20:55The site I can answer for.
20:5630 miles from London.
20:57Spectacular views.
20:57No other dwelling for miles around.
21:02As for the purpose...
21:05Is that not obvious?
21:09I shouldn't have come.
21:10I should be congratulating you and June.
21:13Your wedding can be sooner.
21:15Yes.
21:15I'm glad.
21:17It means the world to her.
21:18I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
21:33Mrs. Forsyte?
21:38Mrs. Forsyte?
21:39Forgive me.
21:42I could pretend to misunderstand your distress, but who would that serve?
21:45It was wrong of me to involve you.
21:47But how can I proceed?
21:49Knowing that what I've been commissioned to build would effectively be your prison.
21:52That's not the word I used.
21:56It was implied.
22:01And it's not...
22:03inaccurate.
22:09Then all that remains is to find a way to make a graceful exit.
22:13What?
22:14What do you mean?
22:14But I can't be the one that will...
22:16I let your husband and devastate June.
22:21I must make him withdraw of his own accord.
22:23But...
22:23June will be distraught.
22:25And you?
22:25It's your first commission.
22:28I'm arrogant enough to believe there'll soon be another.
22:30I really don't know what to say.
22:41Say absolutely nothing.
22:42I say absolutely nothing.
22:42I say absolutely nothing.
22:42We have a surprise for you.
23:07Close your eyes.
23:08Oh.
23:12Open your eyes.
23:23Do you like it, Mama?
23:33Er, go and play outside.
23:35Do we have to?
23:36Yes, please.
23:42Mm-hmm.
23:44Yeah.
23:45Okay.
23:46I'm going to go out.
23:48Now let's go.
23:51I got my hands for a little girl.
23:54Yes?
24:16I've brought some preliminary designs with costings.
24:20Your efficiency bids well.
24:24Some mistake, surely.
24:34As in several not too many.
24:36To design a property befitting the status and the magnitude of a gentleman such as yourself.
24:41I asked you to build me a house, not the Palace of Westminster.
24:43I cannot in all conscience reduce the scale and thus the cost by a single penny.
24:47Then you have done yourself out of the commission, sir.
24:49Mr Bassini.
24:50Was just leaving.
24:52Good day to you both.
24:54Why was he here?
24:58I had thoughts of commissioning a house.
25:00We have a house.
25:01Of our own.
25:02Away from these prying, gossiping...
25:05Who do you mean?
25:06Your family has been nothing but kind.
25:07My thought was to remove ourselves from the city altogether.
25:11To the countryside where we might have room to breathe.
25:15And Mr Bassini has been unable to deliver that vision?
25:17Unfortunately, yes.
25:18The arrogant young pup has just priced himself out of the market.
25:21You asked to see me?
25:50Ah, yes.
25:55To see if you've come to your senses.
25:59Or are you still minded to favour your mistress over your wife?
26:03She's not my mistress.
26:05People make assumptions.
26:06No one knows of our previous attachment.
26:08And now that our connection is platonic.
26:10Despite the fact that you left our home.
26:12You know why I left our home.
26:17Because I couldn't agree to cease contact with my children.
26:23Well.
26:26As to that.
26:27I might be willing to reconsider.
26:48Reconsider how?
26:50I give a little.
26:56You give a little.
26:59We both want the same thing.
27:02You.
27:04Home.
27:07In time for the gala.
27:08Harry Falkenor.
27:22Yes?
27:23Writing to thank us for reimbursing his losses.
27:26What?
27:27Did you have something to do with it?
27:30Hardly.
27:30Did you?
27:31Absolutely not.
27:33Then who?
27:35Then why?
27:35Quite a mystery.
27:41Yes.
28:05I was thinking about that day we met.
28:17It seems an age ago.
28:20And still we barely know each other.
28:24I disagree.
28:30Perhaps it's that we just want such different things.
28:35Is this about Paris?
28:36Paris is when I first realised.
28:38What?
28:39How...
28:42Unalike we are.
28:43I look forward to seeing what you've chosen for the gala.
29:04It's important to make an impact.
29:08You should wear your new necklace.
29:10Yes.
29:13Slightly alarming.
29:24Talk of Joe returning home.
29:27If we can't play the tarnishing the company reputation card...
29:30Thought I should mention planning to make a splash at the grand event.
29:34So if you'd like me to give the address.
29:36Next generation rising like salmon to scale the rapids of opportunity.
29:40Yes, thank you.
29:42I'll bear that in mind.
29:43What's this I hear?
29:44You treating us to your vision for the future at our gala.
29:48I can hardly wait.
29:49Care to give us a taster?
29:51Not especially.
29:53Well, let me guess.
29:54Profit is the devil.
29:55Caution is king.
29:57And if our clients lose money, it's up to us to bail them out.
29:59If it's due to us giving poor advice, then yes.
30:02Nothing to do with their own greed.
30:03Or willful ignorance.
30:04Everything to do with our obligation to urge them not to put their eggs in one basket.
30:08No matter how guaranteed the returns or by how much commission we stand to make.
30:13And to say otherwise is just...
30:14Yes?
30:15What is it?
30:18Morally bankrupt.
30:22That's priceless.
30:23Our would-be chair, the most degenerate member of the firm, presumes to preach morality to the rest of us.
30:29To the man who knowingly capsized the Durham Mining Company, thereby ruining their investors, including his own future father-in-law, making his wife-to-be destitute.
30:41She doesn't know, does she?
30:42And this from the man, who's conveniently jilted his wife, so he can debauch his mistress and fawn over his brats!
31:02Is this the type of leadership you're after?
31:12Oh yeah.
31:32Oh yeah.
31:36Oh yeah.
31:39Australian is late.
31:52No, my love, I really think we might be happier if we left it.
31:57And how was it going, Marty?
31:59I heard it was exquisite.
32:00Yes, it was.
32:00Yes, it was.
32:03I like it.
32:04I like it.
32:05Quite like it.
32:06It's in the rail.
32:09You're a scrumptious distraction in art.
32:14It's okay.
32:15It's okay.
32:18It's only one seat.
32:19Hey, Joe.
32:31Is Jolian proposing to make some sort of grand entrance?
32:38He'll be here, rest assured.
32:40Exciting.
32:44Where's Joe?
32:45Did he not leave with you?
32:46He left ahead of me.
32:47I thought he'd be here.
32:50Right.
32:51It's so exciting.
32:53I can't quite believe it.
32:55I'm getting married, Phil.
32:57Aren't you just thrilled beyond words?
32:58I know Mama has plenty of plans already.
33:01Don't excuse me.
33:01I'm so excited.
33:03Oh, well.
33:05From Snow's?
33:13You guessed.
33:16Reminds me of one my late husband gave me.
33:20Haven't worn it in years.
33:21We had a splendid time today.
33:24Oh.
33:25You can laugh, Mrs. Forsythe.
33:27Soames has reconsidered the commission.
33:42Reconsidered?
33:43Does he not like the design?
33:45He dislikes the price.
33:47Reduce it?
33:48Cannot be done.
33:49Not without detriment to the plans.
33:50What about our plans?
33:51There are other considerations.
33:53Well, think of Irene.
33:53How will she feel?
33:54I am thinking of Irene.
33:58I suspect she may not be as keen on the idea as Soames.
34:06Oh.
34:07Well, it is true.
34:08We'd hardly ever see each other.
34:10And it would be just the two of them.
34:13But our wedding.
34:14I can't bear the thought of having to wait.
34:16Nor I.
34:17But Mr. Bassini.
34:18On further consideration, I believe the site will suit me well.
34:21Let us proceed.
34:22I'm sorry?
34:24You will build me a house at Robin Hill.
34:50I knew you'd come.
34:52Well, your father was right.
34:54We shouldn't have doubted you.
34:56And I've been at fault.
34:59Issuing ultimatums.
35:00Forcing you to make a choice when you'd have come to your senses of your own accord.
35:03Francis.
35:04We can salvage this.
35:05Our marriage.
35:07Your ascension.
35:08This is our moment.
35:10Francis, I'm sorry.
35:11For everything you've worked for, everything you've done.
35:20You just have a better return.
35:25I do.
35:27And I cannot give it.
35:31Yesterday, it struck me.
35:32Battling with souls.
35:35Fighting to impose my will on the company.
35:38My heart's not in it.
35:42Never was.
35:43I don't understand.
35:46What are you saying?
35:53Then I'll never cease to love you.
35:57Respect, admire.
35:58Provide for you.
36:02I'll never return to the phone.
36:03Or this house.
36:08I'll never return to the house.
36:08I'll never return to the house.
36:33I'm sorry.
36:47I tried.
36:54You're very kind.
36:56Not kind.
36:59It's just...
37:02The thought of you being with...
37:08I won't give up.
37:11I swear it.
37:14I can't.
37:32There will be no divorce.
37:44Your children will not be legitimized.
37:49You will suffer rejection from the family.
37:53The firm.
37:57From all of London.
38:02I accept that.
38:17I thought I'd molded you into something resembling a rational being.
38:24I was mistaken.
38:28So go.
38:29You were once interesting to me.
38:37Now you bore me.
38:47Goodbye, Frances.
38:48Frances.
38:58Ah!
39:00Ah!
39:01Ah!
39:02Ah!
39:15The absolute...
39:16Where is he? Is he coming?
39:17I've been looking all over for the man of the hour. Where is dear Jolyon?
39:30I'm afraid he's just been called away.
39:31What such an auspicious day.
39:32How disappointing for you all.
39:33A small inconvenience.
39:34I trust we're more than capable of enjoying the festivities in his absence.
39:35Mr. Cole, I wonder if I might call upon you to transact some business for me.
39:36Ah, yes, of course.
39:37Yes.
39:38Of course.
39:39Yes.
39:40Of course.
39:41Yes.
39:42Yes.
39:43Yes.
39:44Yes.
39:45Yes.
39:46My late father left a property in Camden which has lain empty for many years.
39:47I propose to donate it.
39:48To the charity.
39:49Well, that's most generous.
39:50For conversion into suitable accommodation for needy women.
39:53Oh, I've got a large fryer.
39:54Three of us.
39:55I've got a little bit of azdly no account for that.
39:57How disappointing for you all.
39:58How disappointing.
39:59What's disappointing for you all?
40:00A small inconvenience.
40:02I 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.
40:06Yes, of course.
40:07My late father left a property in Camden which has lain empty for many years.
40:10I propose to donate it.
40:12To the charity.
40:13Well, that's most generous.
40:15For conversion into suitable accommodation for needy women.
40:19Of course, I'm no expert, but perhaps you could advise me in matters legal and beyond.
40:25It would be a pleasure.
40:27Impressive performance.
40:29Isn't that how the higher species evolve?
40:32By their ability to adapt.
40:36I suspect you and I will work very well together.
40:49So, Joe's bolted.
40:52Shall I step in, say a few words, hand over to Soames and passing the torch, all that?
40:57I think on balance, no.
41:02No?
41:03I prefer to do the honours myself.
41:19Pray silence for Her Illustrious Highness, Mrs. Anne Euphemia Isadora Forsyte.
41:36Dear friends, no doubt you are expecting an address from one of the male members of this
41:43firm.
41:44Instead, you have me.
41:47Perfectly placed to judge the merits and the demerits of this formidable clan.
41:54Since my arrival, there have been many newcomers to the Forsyte ranks.
41:59All of you will have wondered what you were letting yourself in for, before becoming Forsyte's
42:06in your own right.
42:08So, what defines this family?
42:14What is a Forsyte?
42:17A Forsyte is someone who knows the value of loyalty, and family, and repute.
42:31We are tenacious.
42:33We are survivors.
42:35And we should never, ever be underestimated.
42:42Only a fool would underestimate you.
43:05Or you, my love.
43:21Seems a shame to let a prime seat go to me.
43:23Oh, Monty, you wouldn't dare.
43:24I think I know my own worth, ready?
43:26Wiggins, remove the chair.
43:27This should have been his moment.
43:47You mean your moment.
43:48Eyes on the camera, please.
43:53Holding it still now.
43:55Wait.
44:07Right.
44:07Right.
44:15Mama.
44:16Harry Falconer.
44:19Yes?
44:21It was you who paid him off.
44:25Why would you do that?
44:27My dear boy, let's enjoy the day.
44:32We can speak of these things some other time.
44:34But Mama, who is he?
44:43He's my grandson.
45:20Do you remember the day you proposed?
45:22Vividly.
45:24You said to me,
45:25if we were unable to make a success of our marriage,
45:30then you would release me.
45:36I cannot imagine seeing any such thing.
45:38No.
45:50Oh, my God!
45:53Oh, my God!
45:56Argh!
45:57Oh, my God!
45:59I cannot hold you.
46:01Oh, my God!
46:02感謝 them!
46:04Oh, my私 is my son.
46:07Oh, yes, illustrato!
46:09Oh, hi!
46:10I can see it.
46:11Don't go so much.
46:13Okay.
46:13Let's watch it,怕 it.
46:14Word, to be fair!
46:16Here I can see it.
46:17Don't work with her,
46:17don't worry!
46:18I came to finish the painting
46:22There is no urgency
46:23I believe there is
46:26I wish to resume my work as an artist
46:29An ambition I gave up
46:31Ten years ago
46:33As incompatible with the aims
46:35Of my father and my wife
46:37Don't mistake me, I've been blessed
46:41I've had wealth, status
46:43A beautiful wife, an adorable stepdaughter
46:45And I could have gone on living
46:50A comfortable, privileged half-life
46:52If you hadn't walked into that room
46:54On June's 18th birthday
46:55And now?
46:59It's done
47:00I've resigned
47:02From the firm
47:04From my family
47:05From my marriage
47:07You can't, what are you thinking?
47:10I'm thinking I can no longer lie to her
47:12Or to myself
47:13Or to you
47:15I want to paint
47:19I'll be a father
47:22To our children
47:23I want to live with you
47:25We'll be outcasts
47:29We'll be poor
47:29I cannot give you my name
47:32But I can give you my love
47:36If you'll have me
47:38Do you even need to ask?
47:53I need to ask?
47:54Thank you
47:56Yeah
47:56You
