00:00Is it to ourselves?

00:06Or to others?

00:10Each generation debates the dilemma.

00:16Follow the money, or follow your heart.

00:30James, please.

00:56June and I agree, you mustn't reproach yourself.

01:00the children

01:02it's not as if you left them

01:04unprovided for

01:05they'll inherit a considerable sum

01:08when they reach their maturity

01:09they will

01:11and I understand

01:14the struggle

01:15the power of first love

01:18and when there are consequences

01:19I've cut ties with her, Frances

01:21there's nothing more to be said

01:24and for that, June and I are grateful

01:28so may we now turn our attention

01:32to the carterettes

03:03to assure the doubters

03:04that you and not he

03:06are the man for the job

03:08when will you tell them?

03:16I've already written to my father

03:18I told him Forsyte and Co. should explore new markets

03:28that I intend to set up an office here in Paris

03:31where I can have complete autonomy

03:33won't he applaud that?

03:36no

06:55You don't look a day older.

06:59That's kind of you to say.

07:02How's it been?

07:03A struggle, but so much worse if you hadn't stepped in.

07:06I take no credit.

07:08I gave you a helping hand.

07:10The rest you've done yourself.

07:12Oh.

07:15How

07:15inspiring.

07:18And to that end...

07:22I have a favor to beg.

07:26Of course.

07:26Anything.

07:27I hesitate to ask.

07:29It would involve a risk.

07:31And it concerns my forthcoming fundraising event.

07:35June.

07:53June.

07:53Star Philip of Culver Street

08:01Jean Renegade of High Park

08:02Thank you

08:23I thought you might not come

08:25It was very impertinent of you to ask me

08:27But perhaps you think the rules of polite society don't apply to us

08:30Perhaps I think they're petty

08:31Parochial?

08:33Irrational

08:33Seriously, can men and women not be friends?

08:41Do friends accept gifts?

08:47Cute

08:48Recite me one

08:52When old age shall this generation waste

08:59The art shall remain

09:00In midst of other woe than ours

09:02A friend to man

09:04To whom thou sayest

09:05Beauty is truth

09:06Truth, beauty

09:08That is all you know on earth

09:10And all you need to know

09:11Where shall we live?

09:20Where shall we live?

09:22Versailles

09:22The Tuileries

09:24The Champs Elysees

09:26When I was tiny

09:30We lived in three rooms above a baker's shop

09:34And my father bought me a canary

09:35And my father bought me a canary

09:38But my mother said that wild things should never be kept in cages

09:43So she let it fly away

09:46No doubt to be eaten by a cat

09:48Well, three rooms won't do for us

09:54We shall need to entertain

09:57Forge connections

09:59Oh, now you're about to discover my guilty secret

10:02My mum never taught me how to play the hostess

10:05That's it

10:07Our marriage is over

10:09You realise we'll have a housekeeper

10:14The servants

10:15And your mother will think me woefully lacking

10:17I'm sure she already thinks I've led you astray

10:20Led me astray?

10:25Have you?

10:28My father taught me university was a waste of time and money

10:31Likewise Europe

10:34The Grand Tour

10:35So at sixteen

10:37I was on the floor of the stock exchange

10:39Learning the ropes

10:41Now don't mistake me

10:43None of it was wasted

10:44But now

10:47Is my duty to the company

10:51Or to myself

10:56You haven't led me astray

11:08You've set me free

11:11Someone's all of a glow

11:30Must be the ride

11:33The wind was bracing

11:35Suits you

11:37You should go more often

11:39Well

11:40I think I will

11:42So the hunt is on

12:00Will it be a chase

12:02Or a trap

12:04Frances will have it all planned

12:06She learnt from the master

12:08Utterly brazen

12:11Might as well stick her on a plate with an apple in her mouth

12:14Olivia sends her regrets

12:16She's visiting the Fitzgerald's

12:19She and young Anthony have formed an attachment

12:21Oh how delightful

12:23That was quick

12:24Poor Cyril finds it all so confusing

12:27Shall we find you a little treat?

12:30Hi don't you

12:31There we are

12:32Have you met Mrs. Parker Barrington?

12:36She's back in London

12:37I'd be happy to introduce you

12:39Oh no

12:40No need

12:41I knew her in Geneva when she was first married

12:44Sweet girl

12:45Has been an absolute cynic

12:48She and I hiked the Matterhorn together

12:52And I understand you have an extensive collection of moths

13:04Yes

13:05I've been longing to know

13:06What distinguishes a moth from a butterfly?

13:10Oh well in fact they do have things in common

13:13Both belong to the Lepidoptera species

13:15From the Greek Lepis meaning scale

13:18And Teron meaning wing

13:19Fascinating

13:20Well that could hardly have gone better

13:29June was transformed

13:31You did her very proud

13:34Suspended evening

13:37Do you really think she's had a change of heart?

13:40It would certainly make things easier

13:42You had a change in life

13:46You had a change

13:48There was a change

13:48That one was the most possible

13:49How did you get worse

13:50Yeah

13:51You and I

13:52Soames, finally, I trust he's

14:20announcing his eminent return.

14:50Not coming home.

14:54On my heart, I shall faint.

14:55Can it be true?

14:56It must be her doing.

14:57Well, you can't deny she's a bewitching little creature.

15:00What can he be thinking?

15:02Setting up on his own in Paris of all places.

15:05Although, with Soames gone, might a fellow step up?

15:08What fellow?

15:10Someone with expertise on risk, investment.

15:13Gambling, you mean?

15:14And for the mantle of favoured child.

15:16Think about it, Freddie.

15:18With Soames away, you and I are the preeminent pair of our generation.

15:23Nobody is to hear of this.

15:25Understood?

15:26Of course.

15:27On my honour.

15:27My heart will break.

15:32How should we live without him?

15:40Prepare yourselves.

15:45Is he serious?

15:47No, he's clever.

15:48If Joe gets the chair, do you see Soames taking orders?

15:51This way, he gets to be master of his own domain.

15:54Good thinking.

15:55No, not good.

15:56Defeatist.

15:58Joe mustn't be allowed to get the chair.

15:59Soames must return and fight his corner.

16:02I need to send a telegram.

16:08Dear Mrs. Forsyte, so good of you to come.

16:12Did I hear there may soon be exciting news about your daughter and young Horatio?

16:18I couldn't possibly comment.

16:21Lady Carteret herself dropped a hint.

16:25She's asked me to donate to her charity for the reclamation of fallen women.

16:32And I wondered whether you might be persuaded to join us.

16:37Of course.

16:38One must support any scheme that takes these wretched creatures off the streets.

16:44Perhaps we can find ways to alleviate their wretchedness.

16:47They're both very hot.

16:52Try to get some sleep, my darlings.

16:54I don't like it.

16:56What Mrs. Barrington wants you to do.

16:57She couldn't have asked me at a worse time.

16:59All these Forsyte's buzzing around.

17:01She wasn't to know.

17:02I've never told who the children's father was.

17:05If you do it,

17:07it could ruin you.

17:08An invitation to Frampton Park.

17:34Oh, what's that?

17:37The Carteret family seat.

17:40Oh.

17:41Am I invited?

17:43Oh.

17:44I think we both know you're the main attraction, my love.

17:47I think we both know you're the main attraction.

18:17I think we both know you're the main attraction of the ballet and vestes for l'infraprise victor.

18:20Oh, my dear friend.

18:37Oh, it's beautiful.

18:39The Champagne.

18:40You ready, everybody?

18:42We are celebrating, don't you?

18:43Oh, no.

18:44We've got to try notre speciality of homes, the母.

18:50Do you, you, guys?

18:52Go, let's go.

18:55Go, all together.

18:56Come on, come on.

19:09Hey, hey, hey!

19:12Hey, hey, hey!

19:14Hey, hey, hey!

19:16Hey!

19:18Hey!

19:20Hey, hey!

19:22I'm going to play the game!

19:23Hey!

19:25How could I be so stupid?

19:33I thought if I appeared compliant,

19:36then Mama would be more sympathetic,

19:39would take my wishes into account, but now that's...

19:42Phantom Park.

19:43Yes.

19:45That can only mean one thing.

19:49He intends to propose.

19:55I suppose we'll never meet again.

20:05I wish it could be otherwise.

20:09Perhaps you should marry me.

20:14I think I'd prefer it.

20:19No, I really would prefer it.

20:22June, let's be serious.

20:25How on earth would we live?

20:26I'd have my settlement.

20:27There'll be no settlement.

20:29If your father refuses his consent, and believe me, he will...

20:32Then we'll run away.

20:33And live on what?

20:34I have debts.

20:36No reputation.

20:37I'm yet to secure a meaningful commission.

20:38Sometimes I live on cocoa.

20:39But none of this matters if we love each other.

20:46I shouldn't have said that.

20:48But you did.

20:52And...

21:01So?

21:19No.

21:20No.

21:21No.

21:22One can have too much of a good thing.

21:52So, do you intend to make a habit of advising clients against sure-fire investment?

22:17What's this?

22:18Salon Gold, as predicted.

22:21Colossal profits.

22:22But it seems Joe is unable to conquer his squeamishness.

22:26I doubt I will.

22:27You should ask Darty.

22:28Sure he's made of sterner stuff?

22:31Did I hear my name?

22:32Sir Jimmy Buckland's gold mine.

22:34Shares currently showing a 40% uplift.

22:37Ooh, I like the sound of that.

22:39The purpose of this firm is solely to make a profit for its clients.

22:50But if the heir apparent shows queasiness at its methods, is he really acting in our best interest?

22:59It appears Horatio Carteret is partial to June.

23:10Well, think of that.

23:16When we go to Frampton Park, I believe he will ask for her hand.

23:20And he's the heir, which eventually means, of course, that June herself will be Lady Carteret.

23:27Just what those high and mighties need.

23:30Bit of spark and personality.

23:34Feather in your cap, my dear.

23:35And to you too, June, of course.

23:37Assuming her father consents?

23:41Why wouldn't he?

23:43Can you think of a reason?

23:46Not unless June can.

23:51My love?

23:55Sorry.

23:56It's miles away.

23:58What was the question?

24:00Is there any reason I shouldn't consent to you marrying Horatio Carteret?

24:06Yes.

24:06I believe there is, on account of the fact that I'm already engaged.

24:14His name's Philip Bassini.

24:16He's an architect, one of the new school, and very bright.

24:20He lives on Culver Street.

24:23It's also his office.

24:24He's still awaiting his first commission, but he's so talented.

24:28He's sure to be in great demand once a while.

24:29Darling, that's enough.

24:32No one finds this remotely amusing.

24:34I don't know.

24:36I met him at the opera.

24:39He's a modernist, and utterly rejects outmoded traditions, such as...

24:43Asking your father for his daughter's hand before he proposes?

24:45Well, actually, I proposed.

24:50Well, of course you did.

24:53Am I to understand there's actually some truth to this ridiculous...

24:57June, what are you doing?

25:03Following my heart.

25:04June, a word, please.

25:14June, a word, please.

25:24Did you know anything about this?

25:25Why would I?

25:26Well, we know she likes to confide in you.

25:29Oh, perhaps you thought I would disapprove.

25:33Which, obviously, you do.

25:40You don't understand.

25:42He's not like anyone I've ever known.

25:45He cares about things that matter, about right and wrong.

25:48He doesn't want to control me.

25:50He wants me to be just who I am.

25:51And that's unlike anyone you've ever known?

25:53Yes.

26:01So I should meet him.

26:33Thanks.

27:34What is it?

27:46Why are you looking at me like that?

27:49May a man not look upon his most treasured possession.

27:54Am I really such a thing?

27:56And more.

27:57How could I have done this?

28:15Failed to communicate the foresight imperative.

28:20Seize the crown, lead,

28:22instead of playing second fiddle.

28:29What's been the point of my life if not to set my son on the chair?

28:33Is that what you put in your telegram?

28:36Obviously not.

28:37I told him if he didn't take the next train home from Paris,

28:40I'd come and drag him home by his earlobe.

28:43Oh, well, that'll do it.

28:45This way, sir.

29:00Ah.

29:02Mr. Bassini.

29:05Please.

29:06Ladies, you've done me the honor of inviting me to join your campaign.

29:21And while I suspect that the scale of my donation may have influenced your choice,

29:26I hope I may have something more than guineas to offer.

29:42No doubt you think we'd be presumptuous,

29:45daring to aspire to the hand of an heiress.

29:48As you can see,

29:49my cuff's a frayed, my coat is worn,

29:51and to demonstrate the gulf between us,

29:52you invite me to a place whose membership is four times my annual salary.

29:56Actually,

29:57I chose it because it's around the corner from your office.

30:04Tell me about yourself.

30:12I'm a radical.

30:14I've declined bow to convention.

30:19My family's undistinguished.

30:21My studies have left me in debt.

30:22So if you've come here to tell me that I must look elsewhere, I can...

30:25I've come here to ask

30:26why you love my daughter.

30:33I've never met anyone like her.

30:37We see the world in the same way.

30:38She's spirited and brave, and yes, I love her.

30:46And if you don't believe me, then...

30:47Oh, what if I do believe you?

30:48You've supported this cause long before I arrived.

30:53The hostels you fund for the women you save.

30:57The clergy you pay to instruct them in the error of their ways.

31:01The homes you find amongst the childless gentry for their wretched offspring.

31:06No one can doubt the rigor of your purpose.

31:09But what is the ultimate aim of your charity?

31:13Punishment, moral superiority, or material assistance?

31:18Let me introduce to you a lady whose history you may find instructive.

31:25Some of you know me.

31:32You honor me with your custom.

31:35I'm kind enough to invite me into your homes.

31:38Ten years ago, I was penniless, homeless.

31:41Mrs. Parker-Barrington heard of my distress.

31:46She could have judged me.

31:48Made a reckoning of my failings.

31:50But instead, she asked me how she could help.

31:53She found me lodgings.

31:54A midwife, sustenance.

31:56She asked me what skills I possessed and employed me as a dressmaker.

31:59Recommended me to her friends.

32:01Many of you have helped to make me what I am today.

32:05Not a burden on society, but a contributor.

32:09Mother, heartwarming story.

32:12But there's a vast difference between you and the women that we try to help.

32:18You are not what we call fallen.

32:20And if I was, would I deserve the workhouse?

32:23My children removed.

32:24Myself consigned to penitence and shame.

32:27Widowhood and poverty are not sins.

32:37I wasn't a widow.

32:39My children were born out of wedlock.

32:45Their father...

32:50...died...

32:56...before they were born.

33:03Now do you judge me?

33:04Do I appear less deserving to you now?

33:10Not to me.

33:13And not, I hope, to any here.

33:16Thank you so much.

33:56Forgive me, I must go.

34:07You don't strike me as a fortune hunter.

34:13How would you support her?

34:16Oh, well, that is, at present.

34:20I can't, but I have prospects.

34:22I'm currently seeking a major commission.

34:24But is money the be-all and end-all?

34:26It is for those who are used to it.

34:32I can't agree to this marriage.

34:35Until you've completed your first commission.

34:41Till then I consent to an engagement.

34:46I have no doubt we'll be seeing a lot of each other.

34:50I'm here, my dear friends.

35:13I'm here now.

35:14You agreed to an engagement.

35:22Why?

35:25He's impulsive, argumentative, and currently without means.

35:30Could be years before he makes his first commission.

35:31Exactly.

35:32And by then, the romance would have lost its sheen.

35:36All stood the test of time.

35:37And you're willing to take that chance?

35:42What is this?

35:45You living vicariously?

35:48Allowing June to do what you always regretted not doing?

35:52Not in the slightest.

35:57I'm wholly at peace with my decision.

35:58I knew it.

36:09You were never going to consent because you've no idea how it feels to truly follow your heart.

36:15So go on.

36:16Tell me.

36:17Will you give me permission to get engaged?

36:30She...

36:31And now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier.

36:40Yeah.

36:47Is there a pact to lower the tone of this family?

36:55First Soames, now June.

36:59There's no one regard for pedigree.

37:02You'll note the lack of announcement.

37:04June's engagement?

37:05No surprise.

37:07I wouldn't advertise such a mismatch.

37:10No wonder the engagement party is close family only.

37:13Poor Frances had such high hopes.

37:15She must be so disappointed.

37:24Did I ever tell you that when I was five I fell into the Seine?

37:28Where were your parents?

37:30Beside me.

37:31But I could swim so my mother was happy for me to take risks.

37:33She was a gambler?

37:35Like you.

37:36With other people's money.

37:38I take calculated risks.

37:40No.

37:41Like chancing your happiness for someone you barely know.

37:45Come with me.

37:48I have a surprise.

37:53Isaac mentioned June's engagement.

37:55Oh, we couldn't be more delighted.

37:58Of course, June could have had her pick, but we believe that young people should follow their hearts.

38:02Oh, I wholly agree.

38:03I want to thank you for joining us the other day.

38:08I hope you were persuaded of the cause.

38:12Dear Louisa, she's such a shining example of what can be achieved.

38:16Yes.

38:18Yes.

38:19Very commendable.

38:20Still, it's a struggle with two little ones to take care of.

38:25I mean, they both go down with a fever.

38:27Well, I'm so sorry.

38:28I have to dash.

38:30I'm expected at the Devonshire's for lunch.

38:31Are they very sick?

38:45Scarlet fever, apparently.

38:49Poor darlings.

38:51But tell me, how is dear Isaac?

38:53Isaac.
