Transcript

00:00Is it to ourselves?

00:06Or to others?

00:10Each generation debates the dilemma.

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

00:30Don't let them know.

00:55June 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

01:33race, June

01:37on Figaro

01:40he's slower than Treacle

01:42I feel quite neglected

02:00surely he can't be that busy

02:03oh I don't know

02:05well firstly I'm enjoying the peace

02:10don't Joe would agree with you

02:14oh Monty

02:21we need to implement the succession

02:22without delay

02:23why the urgency?

02:31I waited a long time

02:32to become chairman

02:34nothing prepares you for

02:37the loneliness

02:38the lack of a mentor

02:40everyone waiting for you to fail

02:43so I want you to take on the mantle

02:53now

02:54while I'm still here

02:55to guide you

02:56and since Soames is away

02:57we can use his absence

03:00to do what?

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

03:36he'll want me in London

03:38fulfilling his lifelong ambition

03:40to thwart his brother

03:41oh believe me

03:43I do a better job than my cousin

03:44but

03:44I've told him I need a new challenge

04:22we should want to do everything together

04:31of course

04:32next time I'll wake you

04:35hmm

04:36ah

04:41Forsyte

04:45yes

04:46poor excuse I grant you

04:48can I help?

04:49hmm

04:50so long gold

04:51Sir Jimmy Buckland's venture

04:52Soames told me it's a gold mine

04:54literally

04:55good

04:57count me in

04:58to the tune of

05:01well it's your choice

05:04of course

05:04Mr. Cully

05:05but

05:05I'd advise against

05:07Sir Jim has a

05:10dubious safety record

05:12prone to accidents

05:13and

05:13human fatalities

05:14I really

05:15and

05:15if there are

05:17a few

05:17careless labourers

05:19lost down a mine

05:20small price to pay

05:21for such fabulous returns

05:22couldn't agree more

05:23James Forsyte

05:24allow me to

05:25expedite your purchase

05:26this way

05:26with me

05:29oh

05:41I'm not

05:51no

06:52Oh, my dear Louisa.

06:57You don't look a day older.

06:59No, that'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.

07:11Oh, how inspiring.

07:20And to that end, I have a favor to beg.

07:25Of course, anything.

07:27I hesitate to ask.

07:29It would involve a risk.

07:31And it concerns my forthcoming fundraising event.

07:35June!

07:45June!

07:45Star Philip of Culver Street?

08:01June Renegade of Hyde Park.

08:24I thought you might not come.

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

08:28But perhaps you think the rules of polite society don't apply to us.

08:30Perhaps I think they're petty.

08:32Parochial?

08:33Irrational.

08:37Seriously, can men and women not be friends?

08:41Do friends accept gifts?

08:47Cute.

08:51Recite me one.

08:57When old age shall this generation waste,

08:59Thou shalt remain,

09:01In midst of other woe than ours,

09:03A friend to man,

09:04To whom thou sayest...

09:05Beauty is truth.

09:07Truth, beauty.

09:08That is all you know on earth.

09:10And all you need to know.

09:19Where shall we live?

09:22Versailles.

09:22The Tuileries.

09:25The Champs-Elysees.

09:26When I was tiny,

09:31We lived in three rooms above a baker's shop.

09:35And my father bought me a canary.

09:40But my mother said that wild things should never be kept in cages.

09:44So she let it fly away.

09:45No doubt to be eaten by a cat.

09:52Well, three rooms won't do for us.

09:56We shall need to entertain.

09:58Forge connections.

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

10:03My mum never taught me how to play the hostess.

10:07That's it.

10:08Our marriage is over.

10:09You realise we'll have a housekeeper?

10:14The servants?

10:15And your mother will think me woefully lacking.

10:18I'm sure she already thinks I've led you astray.

10:21Led me astray?

10:25Have you?

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

10:33Likewise, Europe.

10:35The Grand Tour.

10:35So at sixteen, I was on the floor of the stock exchange.

10:40Learning the ropes.

10:42Oh, don't mistake me.

10:43None of it was wasted.

10:44But...

10:46Now...

10:48is my duty to the company...

10:53or to myself.

11:05You haven't led me astray.

11:10You've set me free.

11:29Someone's all of aglow.

11:32Must be the ride.

11:33The wind was bracing.

11:36Suits you.

11:38You should go more often.

11:40Well...

11:40I think I will.

11:42So, the hunt is on.

12:01Yes.

12:01Will it be a chase...

12:03or a trap?

12:04Yes.

12:05Frances will have it all planned.

12:07She learned from the master.

12:08Yes.

12:09Utterly brazen.

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

12:15Olivia sends her regrets.

12:17She's visiting the Fitzgeralds.

12:19She and young Anthony have formed an attachment.

12:22Oh, how delightful.

12:24That was quick.

12:25Poor Cyril finds it all so confusing.

12:28Shall we find you a little treat?

12:30Why don't you?

12:31There we are.

12:32Have you met Mrs. Parker Barrington?

12:36She's back in London.

12:38I'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.

12:46Husband an absolute stick.

12:48She and I hiked the Matterhorn together.

12:58And I understand you have an extensive collection of moths.

13:05Yes.

13:05I've been longing to know, what distinguishes a moth from a butterfly?

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

13:13Both belong to the Lepidoptera species, from the Greek Lepis, meaning scale, and Teron, meaning wing.

13:20Oh, fascinating.

13:26Well, that could hardly have gone better.

13:30June was transformed.

13:33You did her very proud.

13:37Suspended evening.

13:38Do you really think she's had a change of heart?

13:40It would certainly make things easier.

13:42Yeah.

14:12Soames, finally, I trust he's announcing his imminent return.

14:42Not coming home? On 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? Setting up on his own in Paris, of all places.

15:04Although, 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. Understood?

15:26Of course.

15:27On my honour.

15:29My heart will break.

15:32How should we live without him?

15:39Prepare yourselves.

15:46Is 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.

16:01I need to send a telegram.

16:04Dear 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.

16:24She'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.

16:39One must support any scheme that takes these wretched creatures off the streets.

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

16:50They'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.

16:59With all these foresights buzzing around.

17:01She wasn't to know.

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

17:05If you do it, it could ruin you.

17:24An invitation to Frampton Park.

17:35Oh, what's that?

17:37The Carteret family seat.

17:40Oh.

17:41Am I invited?

17:42I think we both know you're the main attraction, my love.

17:47Oh, my God.

17:59Oh.

17:59This is my chef, Marie.

18:05My friends, for the ballet, Yvette Colette's practice, Vector.

18:09Hello.

18:10Hello.

18:11Hello.

18:12Hello, my name is Marie.

18:14My name is Marie.

18:16My friends, for the ballet, Yvette Colette's practice, Vector.

18:20Hello, Marie, hello.

18:22Hi.

18:24Hi.

18:25Hi.

18:26Hello, hello.

18:27Let's go!

18:29Come on everyone, let's go!

18:33Oh my dear friends!

18:37Oh, it's beautiful!

18:39So, Champagne?

18:41Are you ready guys?

18:43We celebrate, right?

18:45But no!

18:47We must try our home speciality, the Absinthe!

18:51I'm sure you'll have an idea!

18:53Come on, turn it!

18:55Come on all.

18:57Hey, all you all, head on .

18:59Oh

19:30How could I be so stupid I

19:33Thought if I appeared compliant

19:36then

19:37Mama would be more sympathetic would take my wishes into account, but but now that's phantom park. Yes

19:45That can only mean one thing

19:49He intends to propose

19:59I

20:02Suppose we'll never meet again. I 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

20:23June let's be serious. How on earth would we live? I'd have my settlement there'll be no settlement

20:29If your father refuses his consent and believe me he will then we'll run away and live on what I have debts

20:35No reputation. I'm yet to secure meaningful commission sometimes live on cocoa for me. None of this matters if we love each other

20:46I I shouldn't have said that

20:49But you did

20:59I

21:01And so

30:21I

30:23I

30:25I've

30:27I've come here to ask

30:29why you love my daughter

30:31I

30:33I've never met anyone like her

30:35we

30:37see the world in the same way

30:39she's spirited

30:41and brave

30:43and yes

30:44I love her

30:45and if you don't believe me then

30:47what if I do believe you

30:49you've supported this cause long before I arrived

30:53arrived

30:55the 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

31:05no one can doubt the rigor of your purpose

31:09but what is the ultimate aim of your charity punishment moral superiority

31:15or material assistance

31:17let me introduce to you

31:19let me introduce to you a lady

31:21whose history

31:23you may find instructive

31:29some of you know me

31:31you

31:33honor me with your custom

31:35and kind enough to invite me into your homes

31:37ten years ago I was

31:39penniless homeless

31:41mrs

31:43parker barrington heard of my distress

31:45she could have judged me

31:47made a reckoning of my failings

31:49but instead she asked me how she could help

31:51she found me lodgings

31:53a midwife

31:55sustenance

31:56she asked me what skills I possessed

31:57and employed me as a dressmaker

31:59recommended me to her friends

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

32:04not a burden on society

32:08but a contributor

32:10heartwarming story

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

33:46thank you

33:50I love you.

33:58Forgive me, I must go.

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

34:13How would you support her?

34:15I will.

34:17That is, at present.

34:19I can't.

34:21But 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.

34:31I can't agree to this marriage.

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

34:41Till then I consent to an engagement.

34:44I have no doubt we'll be seeing a lot of each other.

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

35:00I'm here, my dear friends. I'm here now.

35:14You agreed to an engagement? Why?

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

35:29Could be years before he makes his first commission.

35:31Exactly.

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

35:34All stood the test of time.

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

35:39What is this?

35:43You living vicariously?

35:46Allowing June to do what you always regretted not doing?

35:51Not in the slightest.

35:54I'm holding at peace with my decision.

36:08I 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, tell me!

36:26We give you permission to get engaged.

36:29And now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier.

36:47No, no, no. What was off the table pudding? No, there was.

36:51What?

36:52There were 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's close family only.

37:13Poor Frances had such high hopes.

37:16She must be so disappointed.

37:22Did I ever tell you that when I was five I fell into the Seine?

37:29Where were your parents?

37:30Beside me.

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

37:34She was a gambler?

37:35Mm-hmm.

37:36Like you?

37:37With other people's money?

37:38I take calculated risks.

37:41Late chance in your happiness for someone you barely know.

37:47Come 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.

38:03Oh, I wholly agree.

38:05I want to thank you for joining us the other day.

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

38:11Dear Louisa, she's such a shining example of what can be achieved.

38:15Yes.

38:16Yes.

38:18Very commendable.

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

38:25And when they both go down with a fever...

38:27Well, I'm so sorry.

38:28I have to dash.

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

38:31Are they very sick?

38:45Scarlet fever.

38:47Apparently.

38:49Poor darlings.

38:51But tell me.

38:52How is dear Isaac?

38:53How is dear Isaac?

39:22How?

39:23How is dear six o'clock?

39:24Yeah.

39:26What is beautiful?

39:47Have ajournalist.

39:49How is truly handsome?

39:50I don't know.

40:20I don't know.

40:50Oh, wasn't it wonderful?

40:55I'll meet the director next week.

40:56And just think, if he accepts me, you can come and pick me up every night after the performance.

41:00Oh, you should meet Ivert's brother.

41:02He's a painter.

41:02He comes to watch all of the rehearsals.

41:04I honestly just can't wait for you to see me dance.

41:08Oh, just imagine.

41:09You can meet me at the stage door every night.

41:12And when we're settled in our new apartment, we go to the cafe.

41:14And when we're settled in our new apartment, should we invite your family to come visit?

41:30Yes.

41:33Yes, of course.

41:35My love.

41:38There's something I haven't mentioned.

41:42A telegram from my father.

41:44Is he well?

41:45Beside himself.

41:47That I told him my plans in a letter when I should have done it face to face.

41:51What was I thinking?

41:52Well, I believe I must return.

41:57Cat, shall we have our honeymoon?

42:00And my audition, should I rearrange?

42:02By all means.

42:04But you must see I owe my father an explanation.

42:07In person.

42:12Of course.

42:14Of course, I do see that.

42:16So let's return to London.

42:19And settle for me, sir.

42:21Once and for all.

42:22How do we know that this fellow

42:51isn't some money-grubbing opportunist.

42:55What is Frances thinking?

42:58She will know that when the heart is set on something,

43:02the more it's forbidden, the more it's craved.

43:06Surely you don't imagine June wants this boy

43:10just to prove she can have him.

43:13I once knew a couple of young men who pursued the same girl

43:16simply so the other wouldn't get her.

43:21Let me fetch you a drink.

43:39Something a mess?

43:41What?

43:43Nothing to concern you.

43:47No one would believe we used to be best of friends.

43:50It was a long time ago.

43:52Before the old man pitied us against each other.

43:56Yes. Shape up. Make sacrifices.

44:01Was it a sacrifice?

44:03For you?

44:06Alexandra?

44:11No more than it was for you.

44:13Do you sometimes wonder where she disappeared to?

44:18As do I.

44:21Still, it all turned out for the best.

44:26Emily and you?

44:28Edith and I?

44:30Yes.

44:32Splendid women.

44:35Saved us from ourselves.

44:37I almost felt sorry for him.

44:46Don't.

44:47Did you see his hat?

44:49Left it on a chair and Emily mistook it for a cat.

44:56Uncle James,

44:57you look as if you'd like to commission a new house

45:00and here's Phil just brimming with clever ideas.

45:02I suspect your uncle's perfectly content with his own house.

45:05But should the opportunity ever arise,

45:07I'm sure you could come to my office and view my portfolio.

45:10There, now.

45:11What a kind invitation.

45:14Well,

45:15here we are.

45:17Frances and I ask you to join us

45:19in raising a glass to the newly engaged couple.

45:23June and Philip.

45:24June and Philip.

45:26How to thwart a rebel,

45:34take away their cause.

45:56God bless you.

46:26Oh, my God.

46:56Please tell me they're not.

47:02They're not.

47:04Their fever's past.

47:05They're sleeping.

47:09Thank God.
