00:00How to define her foresight?

00:05By the secrets we keep, shall you know us?

00:09By the little lies we tell?

00:15By the choices we make, which echo down the generations?

00:20Choices which will come back to haunt us

00:24until one of us decides to change the story.

00:30Believe me, this will pass.

00:39And we'll come through it stronger and more devoted than ever.

00:43I believe you.

00:55My concern is this.

00:57Now he knows about the children.

01:00Will he be able to forget them again?

01:06Chas.

01:06You need fresh air.

01:17Wish I could take you to the seaside.

01:20I know where I like to go.

01:23To a magic place where all the streets are made of water.

01:28Where the poor servant girl met the prince.

01:31So, at the next board meeting,

01:46I propose to introduce the subject

01:48of my nephew's unfitness to be chair.

01:51Not just in temperament, but in behavior.

01:57As in?

01:58Any action that might bring the firm into disrepute.

02:01This being the case, not only can he be said not to be chair material,

02:06he should be expelled from the company altogether.

02:11You're not the first to sow wild oats in your youth.

02:18But there's no need to pay for those mistakes with your career.

02:23They're not mistakes, Dad.

02:26They're my actual flesh and blood.

02:27And that's important.

02:29An heir is important.

02:32Something you currently lack.

02:34But for the present,

02:35when your succession is about to be challenged,

02:37Oh, I am well aware of James's maneuverings.

02:42It is imperative that we keep this matter a secret.

02:49Your father and I have been wondering,

02:51is there a case for offering some inducement?

02:55Inducement?

02:56For the young lady in question.

02:58To ensure her silence.

03:00Her silence is not in doubt.

03:01But, if she could be persuaded to leave London...

03:04What?

03:05Set up home and business elsewhere...

03:07Suitably funded, of course.

03:08So she's expected to uproot her life and that of her children, for my convenience.

03:12When she's made it abundantly clear she wants no further contact.

03:15And you trust her?

03:16Completely.

03:20You are not proposing some kind of public statement?

03:23About the children?

03:25Well, how would that benefit any of us?

03:27No, I intend to honor her wishes.

03:29Whilst deciding how to discharge my financial obligation to her.

03:32Which will be my decision.

03:36No one else's.

03:37Are we sure he's the father?

03:44Hmm.

03:45Why else would he be at her shop?

03:47And it was that business in Italy with the ladies' maid.

03:50And there we have it.

03:52The thing to tip the scales against him.

03:56But let's keep this to ourselves for now.

04:01Do I think I'd be the better chair?

04:03Of course.

04:04Do I need to stoop to scheming to achieve it?

04:08You can leave all that to me.

04:09I've got another note from Mr. Foresight.

04:27No way.

04:45I'm not.

04:46I'm not.

04:47I'm not.

04:48So, if you loved her,

05:18why did you marry Mama?

05:22Because your mother was, is, an incredible woman.

05:30Cultured, caring, kind.

05:32And I valued that.

05:37In those early days after Venice, I was sometimes a little lost.

05:42And had you known about her situation, what would you have done?

05:54I can't answer that.

05:59You just did.

06:01June, wait.

06:03Give her time.

06:10I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.

06:18But I am here, and I have no plans to be elsewhere.

06:33Then all shall be well.

06:56You came?

07:06Did you doubt it?

07:11Forgive me.

07:16Yesterday I was overwhelmed.

07:18I failed to observe the proper formalities.

07:21Allow me to make amends.

07:25Miss Heron, you have made me the happiest of men.

07:30Would you give me the honor of wearing this ring?

07:36You dislike it?

07:45No, no.

07:46How could I?

07:47It's just...

07:49I mean, is this happening to me?

07:52There must be so many more suitable women of your own station.

07:55Very many eminently suitable.

08:00All art and polish and impeccable breeding.

08:07Whereas you are all nature.

08:13And to me that is perfection.

08:25May I now have the honor of introducing you to my family?

08:35My love?

08:38Yes.

08:55My mom was always fond of that one.

09:17She was a fine one.

09:20Not a first love, but a lasting one.

09:30So, it's a full turnout tomorrow?

09:33What's this?

09:34Epson races.

09:35Monty's horse is running.

09:36What could possibly go wrong?

09:38What shall I wear?

09:41I need to cut quite the dash when I strut into the ring with Lady Peaches.

09:45Isn't that the groom's job?

09:46When one's nurtured a nag as I have, one feels a bond, a connection.

09:50You don't think of Mountingoe yourself then?

09:52Do you know the thought had occurred?

09:54But the 2.30 Depsom, is that the place to make one's debut?

09:56I thought I'd wear my peach hat in homage to Monty's horse.

10:00But if it doesn't win...

10:02Well, I believe by the end of tomorrow we'll have something to celebrate.

10:05To that end I'll be bringing a guest.

10:07Anyone we know.

10:08Wouldn't wish to spoil the surprise.

10:11Well, hardly a surprise.

10:13Beginning on Miss Carteret?

10:15If you've a guinea to waste.

10:21It's always a blow to realise that someone you love is not perfect.

10:28Of course you want him to be.

10:30But...

10:33He's fallen short.

10:34And I can't forgive him.

10:36Parents disappoint their children.

10:39Children disappoint their parents.

10:41Mine have a talent for it.

10:44Even now I suspect that your Uncle James is harnessing your father's imperfections to use against him.

10:53And you may say quite right.

10:55Whereas I would say...

10:57Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

11:02But...

11:05Chin up my dear.

11:06Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.

11:09Yes, Peaches.

11:10Come on, Peaches!

11:11I told you!

11:12Go!

11:13Go Peaches!

11:14Come on lady, Peaches!

11:15Come on lady, Peaches!

11:16Get off!

11:17I said go!

11:18Yes!

11:19Yes!

11:20Go!

11:21Go!

11:22Go!

11:23Go!

11:24Go!

11:25Go!

11:26Peaches!

11:27Go!

11:28Go!

11:29Go!

11:30Go!

11:31Go!

11:32Go!

11:33Go!

11:34Go!

11:35Go!

11:36Go!

11:37Don't teach it!

12:00No! No!

12:03So close.

12:05So close.

12:06You donkey!

12:10Dammit!

12:12I've been sold a pup, a turkey, a clunker, a veritable dud.

12:17But you did so well, Monty. She almost won.

12:24Don't need to fix that.

12:27How's Alicia?

12:29If we value your life, never ask if she's feeling tired or would like a chair.

12:33Oh, no. She already made that clear.

12:35I'm with child, Jo. I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.

12:42How are things with Francis?

12:44It's just saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.

12:48Neither of us reckon with.

12:50And the implications are frankly severe.

12:52So does Soames propose to join us or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?

13:06Oh, Miss Carteret.

13:09Pa would have been proud to think we'd achieved nobility in three generations.

13:12Just to alert you, I haven't purchased any of our plans with the family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.

13:25Of course.

13:28Oh.

13:32Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron.

13:34My family.

13:37How do you do?

13:41Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.

13:43Not at all. I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.

13:47Hmm.

13:49And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance.

13:52As Miss Heron has done me the honor of agreeing to be my wife.

14:08Congratulations.

14:11Our wedding will shortly take place by special license, after which we depart for Europe.

14:17On your honeymoon? How thrilling. Where will you go?

14:20If tradition dictates that, must remain a secret.

14:24Heron, you say?

14:27Do we know that name?

14:30Who are your people, my dear?

14:33No one of consequence. My father was a professor and my mother...

14:36Oh, could we please not subject Miss Heron to the Spanish Inquisition?

14:38No, no, no. Indeed. That function belongs to me.

14:43The customary formalities?

14:47Yes, of course.

14:55Shall we?

15:01It's all right.

15:03I thought it best to get the ordeal out of the way as soon as possible.

15:06As to the wedding itself, you must say that a fortnight from now is too soon.

15:10A fortnight?

15:12Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.

15:14Well, well...

15:15Well, well...

15:24You're mother is seriously displeased.

15:27your mother is seriously displeased

15:41why wasn't she consulted and the haste how long have you known this girl long

15:49enough she seems rather lovely oh emily she is you'll like her you must be

15:57fearfully in love in love the deuce does that mean it means everything trust me

16:05this is not the match we were expecting no I see that and to take the plunge now

16:11when when Joe's dug himself a hole we've a clear shot of the chairmanship and

16:15you're about to go gallivanting off around the continent perhaps we should

16:19just leave Joe to it are you serious

16:33the insanity of it I think I rather envy him how daring to follow his heart

16:45did you did I for god's sake emily

16:51what sort of a question is that

16:58come along pudding shall we retire

17:02well that was sheer purgatory

17:15absolute hell

17:17grinning like fools as if our whole lives were not on the rack

17:20I know what makes this even worse we always wanted children of our own

17:33the last thing I ever wanted was to cause you pain

17:34the last thing I ever wanted was to cause you pain

17:46we must protect June as much as we can from all this

18:03we must protect June as much as we can from all this

18:07we must protect June as much as we can from all this

18:10I don't know.

18:40I mean, the foresight ladies will never approve.

18:46Is it not sufficiently modish?

18:48My concern is that you don't embarrass yourself.

18:52You're stepping so far outside your milieu.

18:55I thank you for your concern, but I can only start as I mean to go on.

18:59By doing what feels right.

19:05To me.

19:10So, I was thinking crimson or burgundy.

19:19My husband says don't be extravagant, which is rich coming from him,

19:22when he outspends his allowance every month and then blames me because he has no profession.

19:26It's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company.

19:29It's not as if I hadn't hinted at it countless times.

19:31They just keep saying we have a reputation to uphold at Foresight & Co.

19:36Foresight?

19:37But your name's...

19:38Darty, yes.

19:39By marriage.

19:40Foresight by birth.

19:42You know my cousin-in-law, Mrs. Francis Foresight?

19:46Yes.

19:47I should perhaps warn you, I'm snowed under with orders.

19:53It could be months before your gown is ready, in which case I'd quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere.

20:00Elsewhere?

20:01I should think not.

20:03And her tone, almost as if she was wishing me gone.

20:06And why would that be?

20:08Thank your cousin, Joe.

20:11What?

20:11And his not-so-guilded, youthful escapades.

20:21I congratulate you, cousin.

20:23Miss Heron seems an excellent choice.

20:28Perhaps one has reached an age where one is free to make a choice, without succumbing to family pressures.

20:37One lives in hope.

20:38Joe, fathered the dressmaker's children.

20:46Well, well, well.

20:49The dirty dog.

20:50How appalling!

20:52But it does play into our hands.

20:54How so?

20:55He wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock.

20:58For our purposes, it serves us to portray him as a libertine.

21:01The callous seducer, the neglectful father.

21:04I mean, any of these could be said to jeopardise the reputation of the firm.

21:07But it happened before he and Francis met.

21:09Some might call it a youthful indiscretion.

21:12Well, they'd be wrong.

21:13Such behaviour is...

21:14Yes, Monty?

21:15What is it?

21:20I might be looking in my club.

21:26Does he perform any useful function?

21:30He could.

21:31Given a chance.

21:32If this is yet another bid to give him a role.

21:34Not a role.

21:35A seat on the board.

21:38You are joking.

21:39The board meets tomorrow, yes.

21:41And your plan is to expel Joe from the company.

21:44Do you have a majority?

21:46Are you sure you couldn't use an extra vote?

21:49Well?

21:50Monty's your man.

21:51He's entirely without scruples.

21:53He'll vote whichever way you tell him to.

21:55Excuse me.

22:02Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and welcome, esteemed lecturer and philanthropist,

22:08Mrs. Ellen Parker Barrington.

22:09You believe you have no voice.

22:14I believe the same.

22:16I've been confused, ignored, disrespected in my time.

22:23Oh, but trust me, I'm under no illusion.

22:26It is my wealth, my standing, which now confers power, commands respect, demands attention.

22:34My late husband owned woolen mills in the north, once viewed his workers as commodities, expendable.

22:45But he was brought to see them as precious human souls, worthy of respect, of dignity, of proper recompense.

22:57So, change is possible.

23:03And I owe those who have not been as fortunate as I to challenge ignorance and injustice wherever I see it.

23:17I invite you to do the same.

23:27Mr. Renegade.

23:40Mr. Buccaneer.

23:41What brings you here?

23:43The same as you.

23:44A wish for rational argument.

23:45A disgust for inequality.

23:48Would you, would you have some cake?

24:00So you're an architect.

24:01How splendid.

24:03I should introduce you to my family, they'll be terribly impressed.

24:05No, I doubt it.

24:06I'm a modernist.

24:08In my experience, the money classes are highly conservative in their tastes.

24:12Now you, I suspect, are a radical.

24:15I like to think I have an open mind.

24:17Why else would you be here, unchaperoned?

24:20I don't care if I think for such nonsense.

24:23I suspect your mother does.

24:25And what she doesn't know can't hurt her.

24:30Do you have a card?

24:32In case any of my family should at some point require your services.

24:35You and I both know how unlikely that is.

24:47Culver Street?

24:48Oddly an illustrious address, and it's a garret.

24:50Oh, I adore garrets.

24:51Proposal to admit Montague Darty to the board?

25:13I don't expect you to like it.

25:15He's an imbecile.

25:17But if we're to get the votes we need...

25:26Last minute addition to the agenda.

25:28Item five.

25:30Reputational risk and remedial action.

25:33So here we are.

25:35Here we are.

25:40Let battle commence.

25:42Large brandy in the day's papers.

25:49Shop shop.

25:50Item number four.

25:52The proposed election of Montague Darty to the board.

25:58Proposer.

26:03Seconded.

26:08All those in favor.

26:12And those against.

26:21Montague Darty is elected to the board.

26:25I suppose you should let him in.

26:28To those who voted in my favor, good choice.

26:41To any who voted against.

26:44All right.

26:47Item five.

26:50Reputational risk and remedial action.

26:53Yes.

26:56I'm afraid there have been alarming rumors implicating one of our own,

27:00which, should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients,

27:04could lead them to take their business elsewhere.

27:06What rumors are these?

27:08Concerning a senior partner.

27:10Debauching a serving man.

27:13That is not what happened.

27:15That is not who she was, and those are not the circumstances.

27:17And for those of you as yet in the dark,

27:20my nephew.

27:21I had a relationship prior to my marriage with a young woman I met in Venice.

27:30Some days ago I learned that when we parted, she was with a child.

27:34Twins, to be precise.

27:36Now ten years of age, living with their mother in London.

27:39And distasteful, as some of you doubtless may find it.

27:43Distasteful?

27:44Try scandalous.

27:45Inexcusable.

27:46What we can't ignore is that many of our clients will find such a liaison distasteful.

27:52But of course they will.

27:55Because such things have never happened in respectable families.

28:00Good Lord.

28:01What a nurse.

28:02And it'll be the first misstep that this family has ever made.

28:06Well, ma, for goodness sake.

28:07Gentlemen, please.

28:12May I ask what brings you here today?

28:15Curiosity?

28:16This is most irregular.

28:18We do not admit, ladies, into the inner sanctum.

28:22Oh, the inner sanctum.

28:24That solely exists because I paid for it.

28:29Can I not see what my marriage settlement bought?

28:32Mater?

28:34The matter in hand?

28:36Concerns.

28:36The irrevocable damage to company reputation should Joe remain within its ranks.

28:41We are inviting him to step away.

28:44For the good of the family name.

28:46For the good of the family name.

28:48Ah.

28:50Our sainted family.

28:53Devoid of scandal.

28:55Closets.

28:58Skeletal remains.

28:59Yes, but the effect.

29:04The damage to our reputation.

29:06There will be no damage.

29:07The matter can be hushed up and the girl paid off.

29:09Please, allow me to deal with this.

29:11If we could be certain of the girl's discretion, we could agree to turn a blind eye at...

29:22Though I trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of company funds.

29:28Oh, no, Mr. Short.

29:29I have no intention of asking anyone here to take responsibility for my obligations.

29:33The fact remains, I have two children.

29:38Of whom I'm not ashamed.

29:41Nor of myself.

29:49Well?

29:51You heard him.

29:52No remorse.

29:54Disappointing.

29:55Has to go.

29:57With regret.

29:58I propose that Jolion Forsyte be expelled from the company.

30:12All those in favor.

30:23This next fight, um...

30:26Thank you, ma'am.

30:28Why are you here?

30:29I'm not content with how we left things.

30:31More is due to you and the children.

30:33Nothing is due.

30:34We're content.

30:36Do you think you have the right to deprive them by refusing my support?

30:39Deprive them?

30:40Did they look deprived?

30:42No, that's not what I meant.

30:43Can I not want them to have a better life?

30:46Have you given at the slightest thought to how my life has been since we parted?

30:52No, I can only imagine.

30:53Can you?

30:55A girl, two infants, no one to turn to.

30:59Gradually, to take a fierce pride in knowing that she could provide.

31:03To have raised two beautiful souls, single-handed.

31:06Why would I, why would they need any more than what we have?

31:16Mama, will you come?

31:17There's jugglers.

31:18Will you come?

31:21Whoa, hang on.

31:22Wall inside!

31:37john!

31:38John!

31:39Don't work!

31:39Go!

31:40Go!

31:41Go!

31:44Go!

31:45Go!

31:47Go!

31:49Go!

31:50Go!

31:51They're beautiful.

32:06They are.

32:08If you told me, I would have come for you.

32:12Your family would have cut you off.

32:13You'd be living in disgrace.

32:16And knowing all of that, I still would have come.

32:20Wasn't to be.

32:21No, it wasn't.

32:25Goodbye, Joe.

32:26Goodbye, Joe.

32:28Goodbye, Joe.

32:29Goodbye, Joe.

32:30Goodbye, Joe.

32:31Goodbye, Joe.

32:32Goodbye, Joe.

32:33Goodbye, Joe.

32:34Goodbye, Joe.

32:35Goodbye, Joe.

32:36Goodbye, Joe.

32:37Goodbye, Joe.

32:38Goodbye, Joe.

32:39Goodbye, Joe.

32:40Goodbye, Joe.

32:41Goodbye, Joe.

32:42Goodbye, Joe.

32:43Goodbye, Joe.

32:44Goodbye, Joe.

32:45Goodbye, Joe.

32:46Goodbye, Joe.

32:46Miss Renegade.

33:16Can I be of assistance?

33:19No one can.

33:26Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?

33:31I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills. Even a stepfather with feet of clay.

33:50He's utterly betrayed me.

33:56I can see it must seem that way.

33:58If you'd seen him, with them, smiling adoringly, as if I didn't even exist.

34:08You exist to me, Miss Renegade.

34:11I do.

34:13I see you. Clear as day.

34:21I should go. I really shouldn't be here at all.

34:25Well, I'm glad you were.

34:43I see you.

35:04Um...

35:07I've brought Miss Heron to see you.

35:16I congratulate you.

35:19Thank you, Grandmama.

35:21For catching them all unawares.

35:25But not you.

35:27The Carteret girl was too obvious.

35:30Not your type at all.

35:34Bring her to me.

35:37I just spoke to your father.

35:53Don't you want to know how it went?

35:56The vote?

36:01I can guess.

36:03In your favour?

36:04How?

36:04You're not to be expelled.

36:09So the chairmanship can now be yours.

36:15You must see what this now affords us.

36:19A golden opportunity.

36:23For you to recommit.

36:26To your family.

36:28The firm.

36:29Our life together.

36:41How do you see that?

36:45My commitment to you and June is absolute.

36:47So, tell me, my dear.

36:59Are you prepared?

37:01For what?

37:02The Forsyte family.

37:04Are you aware of its peculiarities?

37:07Everyone has been welcoming.

37:10And Soames?

37:11What do you know of him?

37:14What can you tell me?

37:19Soames has never loved before.

37:21That he does so now is significant.

37:24You will want for nothing.

37:26You'll be mistress of all you survey.

37:29My wants are modest.

37:31And what are those wants?

37:32To love and be loved.

37:36To trust and be trusted.

37:38To dance.

37:41And it will be a dance.

37:44Whether the Pavan or a Tarantella.

37:47Or a Padida.

37:48And you?

37:54Are you in love?

37:56Oh.

37:59I have tremors.

38:02My pulse races.

38:03And I feel faint.

38:05Some poets call that love.

38:07What would you call it?

38:10A prelude.

38:12To something deeper.

38:18I hope you find it.

38:28I trust she wasn't too fierce.

38:31She was kind.

38:34You didn't mention Paris.

38:36Should I have done?

38:38Time enough to address that when we're there together.

38:41Planning our future.

38:46To our wedding day.

38:48So, do we think this wedding is a love match?

39:05How can anyone not marry for love?

39:09Because love is only part of what makes a marriage.

39:14Respect.

39:15Patience.

39:18Belief.

39:20These also matter.

39:22And that's what you had with Papa.

39:27Have.

39:30Still.

39:30This could have been the event of the season.

39:49Rather than some low-key hole-in-the-corner travesty.

39:53I just wish it hadn't come so soon.

39:55Soon, Emily?

39:57You've had him at home his entire life.

40:10It's just the thought of losing him to someone we don't really know.

40:14Who might wish to keep him all to herself.

40:16Yes, well, that's the least of it.

40:19Instead of idling around Europe, he could be here planning our next strategy.

40:28Do you like it, Ramal?

40:29Monty assures me it costs the earth.

40:31Nothing's too good for my Freddy.

40:33A man of business can afford such trifles.

40:35Lord, help us.

40:49Heaven's sake, Irene, the carriage will be here any minute.

40:51I hope I'm as blessed as they were.

40:55Can you ever doubt it?

40:57In the resources at Mr Forsyte's disposal.

41:00His willingness to uproot his entire existence for your sake.

41:04I meant as...

41:06...was a love match.

41:10And yours is?

41:14I don't yet know what to call it.

41:16He told me it would be all that I dreamt of.

41:22And more.

41:24Then I suggest you count your blessings and get dressed.

41:35No, no.

41:35No, no, no.

42:30Perhaps she's had a change of heart.

42:35If she has any sense.

42:37Mama, where is she?

42:39I don't know.

43:00Mama, where is she?

44:00You've taught me a valuable lesson.

44:13Which is?

44:15To trust no one but myself.

44:18To think for myself.

44:21To do only what my heart tells me.

44:23What does it tell you?

44:24That true love is what matters.

44:32A meeting of minds.

44:34A conjunction of souls.

44:37That is what matters.

44:39Good.

44:40We agree.

44:41Good.

44:43Good.

44:44Good.

44:52Good.

45:23You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on from them.

45:54That wasn't what I said.

46:00It was implied.

46:01I said my commitment to you is beyond doubt.

46:05But to suggest that I've moved on from them will be to deny that any of it mattered.

46:11Well, of course, I accept that you were once fond of her.

46:14I wasn't fond, Frances.

46:16Frances, my children were conceived of love.

46:20But let us be clear.

46:33That love, as you call it, has no place in this house.

46:38So kill it.

46:42Once and for all.

46:45We'll face the consequences.

47:04For what?

47:08Showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed.

47:16Till I met you.

47:17Oh my God.
