Transcript

00:00And so it begins, the crumbling of the polished facade, the unravelling of the carefully curated life we've built for ourselves, free of scandal and inconvenient truths, of hidden desires and secret longings.

00:24But should they emerge, do we let them lie? Or do we pursue them? And are we prepared for the consequences?

00:38Who's bossed that lady that just called?

00:43Did she upset you?

00:46No, no, not at all. I just, um, come here and take your link to this.

00:50But it's horrible.

00:55Oh, so is whooping cough.

01:00Now, go and do your reading.

01:02Go.

01:02So, I was thinking, Mama, I need a new riding coat, so should we visit Miss Louisa today?

01:30Oh, uh, I think not.

01:34She mentioned last night she's booked up for several months in advance.

01:37Well, she'll fit me in.

01:40And I want to take some bonbons for the children.

01:43No.

01:46No?

01:46No.

01:49Their mother may not want them to have sweet things.

01:51It's so sad, Grandmama.

01:58Her father died before they were born.

01:59She had to bring them up all alone.

02:01So brave.

02:02Yes, very commendable.

02:05All the more reason not to overburden her.

02:07Are you joining us for the opera tonight?

02:09What is it?

02:11Traviata?

02:13All that weeping and wailing annoys me.

02:16June, you should wear the pink silk.

02:18I've invited the Carterettes to our box.

02:22Why?

02:23So we can all become better acquainted.

02:36June must be thrilled.

02:38So many young men clamoring to dance.

02:41What a picture she looked.

02:42And that gown was a triumph.

02:43It was almost a disaster, but the girl worked wonders.

02:46Girl?

02:47You were ogling her, remember?

02:49That little chick a bit.

02:50You might have introduced me.

02:51I took care not to.

02:53She seemed awfully thick with Jo.

02:55The dressmaker?

02:56Who's this?

02:57Pretty young thing.

02:58Quite charming.

02:59Remind me, why she was thick with Jo?

03:01Well, perhaps he was thanking her for saving the day.

03:03Can you get an appointment with her?

03:05That's what I'm hoping for.

03:07After June's ball, everyone will be after her.

03:10Shall we?

03:11Hmm.

03:13What are you doing?

03:24Seeking employment.

03:27I was a typist.

03:29Oh, how demeaning.

03:32I need something to tide me over until I can find a way to pay for Paris.

03:36Oh, you're still persisting with that madness.

03:40Why wouldn't I?

03:41I don't know.

03:43Good.

03:58Congratulations.

04:00Good much.

04:01Very much.

04:02Very well done.

04:03Very well done.

04:04Thank you, sir.

04:04Good to see you.

04:05the point is there is no prior instance of a chairman resigning no and therefore no precedent

04:13for the eldest son's accession before his father's death so in the case of joe increasingly at odds

04:18with the aims of the firm if it were brought before the board how much further he might deviate

04:22how that could endanger the future of the company sheer insanity of prizing tradition over merit

04:27it's archaic it's wasteful and if it goes ahead a missed opportunity it is not a foregone conclusion

04:34i will insist it be brought before the board in the meantime we build the case against joe

05:04i saw her at the ball last night the girl from venice

05:17louisa how did she come to be there she makes gowns tunes gown

05:25well she's a widow she lives in soho do you have any idea no not an inkling

05:30will you see her again i don't know

05:35were you told who to marry

05:44i chose freely

05:47your father was my first love and when he died i was sure i would never get over him

05:57but he did nothing compares to first love we persuade ourselves the fever is real

06:04and then if we're lucky we meet our true soulmate and discover something more

06:12profound so papa's your soulmate like magnets perhaps the attraction of opposites

06:21gentlemen today i can announce that foresight and co has been offered a unique opportunity

06:37my old friend sir jimmy buckland has finally succeeded in his scheme to deploy a tribe from

06:42upper india to the gold mines of salon carried in the teeth of great difficulties it should

06:46double the output of his mines and quarter the lives of his workers well whether one expires of

06:52miserable old age on one's own barren soil or prematurely of damp at the bottom of a foreign

06:56mine i hardly of small consequence as long as it benefits the shareholders well i imagine it's

07:01some consequence to the widows may i continue thank you sir jim as a personal favor to me

07:12has given us advance notice so that we may use the information to our advantage

07:16by offering our clients and indeed ourselves the chance to invest it is quite literally

07:24a golden opportunity it's a risk which we have an impeccable record for calculating

07:34still feels like gambling to me

07:35are we agreed yes adjourned

07:49i'll be back later i have an appointment anyone we know no

08:05is it to your taste

08:19i could admire the tonal qualities but no it doesn't move me may i ask what does

08:26a more vibrant style something which captures the fleetingness of a moment rather than preserves it in

08:32an aspect you're a romantic my stepmother says i'm utterly unfit for decent society your crime

08:41i dance the polka the waltz the ballet

08:48my mother was a dancer and i seem to have inherited her talent passion there i said it now's your chance to

08:56escape and yet as you see i'm still here

09:10the opera the carter it's the scheme to throw me to the wolves horatio now isn't he more of a poodle

09:33well look who i have i know she's not mine but i take her with me when i'm feeling vexed or miserable

09:44and she always cheers me up is that why you got her

09:52she was a gift from a friend someone i met in italy

09:59an attachment short-lived

10:02let me guess she wasn't suitable you were forbidden to pursue her we just went our separate ways

10:08yes and then you met mama yes i'm not sure i want to fall in love sounds like torture

10:21they can also be magnificent

10:29joe never seems to learn he's today in the boardroom

10:32wittering on about widows and gambling oh poor cyril how he frets when he knows i'm going out

10:38shall i stay behind and pet him for you oh dear no that would defeat the whole purpose of the

10:42evening the purpose being to dangle june and i before the cartridge and hope they bite what he

10:47fails to grasp is the need for us to be led by sound commercial nurse darling we simply want

10:52you to find someone who deserves you before to maintain our position as london's premier brokers

10:57the board should be worried and you look so handsome the board will be worried she won't

11:01be able to resist you i will make sure of that

11:15so glad you could join us lady carteret oh my dear to be seen in the company of the illustrious

11:33foresight who wouldn't leap at the chance lovely to see so many young people

11:42but sad to think they're seldom masters of their own fate i like to think we take their views into

11:48account tradition is what counts stability no impulsive changing of the guard

11:57but sometimes is it not a fresh perspective that is exactly what is needed provided the

12:01proposed candidates up to the task i understand you're an avid reader but i

12:10have you read frankenstein uh no i you'll find you have some sympathy for the creature

12:17no will of its own forced to do another's bidding until of course it rebels

12:22no will of its own forced to do another's bidding to do another's bidding to do another's bidding

12:29ah you seem to have left my wife at home

12:32perhaps i could prevail on your father or you could just not drink

12:40oh my cousins mama i might just um of course

12:50i do beg your pardon are you hurt

13:06do i look like a damsel in distress on the contrary are you with friends family my mother thinks this is

13:14the place to meet the right people would i fall into that category i seriously doubt it

13:22do i sense a renegade

13:26june foresight

13:29philip bacilli

13:32buccaneer

13:42i

13:57i

13:59I adore Traviata.

14:24Makes one positively melt, don't you find?

14:29Signora della Traviata,

14:35Scriviti al deseo,

14:41Ande me iscriviti al nostro canale.

15:24You miss me, Pudding. Oh, don't suck. I promise I'll make it up to you.

15:30Always affecting, Traviata. Lost love and all that.

15:38Perhaps we should be celebrating love found.

15:42Perhaps we should.

15:54Can you believe June tonight? Determined not to cooperate.

16:06The Carterets, our plans.

16:10Will you speak to her?

16:13Saying what?

16:14That there's a time and a place for everything.

16:19And the time for June is now.

16:24She's 18.

16:27She has to put away childish things.

16:30She worships you.

16:35If you tell her, we would only ever choose someone worthy of her.

16:43But perhaps you think your father made the wrong choice for you.

16:46I made the choice.

16:59I made the choice.

17:11You must go.

17:33I can't bear to leave you.

17:37Your family needs you.

17:38Your father summoned you home.

17:42And every time, where will you be?

17:47Florence, Rome?

17:50Well, you write to me.

17:52Tell me where you'll be.

17:53Don't stop.

17:57Let's not pretend.

18:01What?

18:02These past few months...

18:04Have been the most precious of my life.

18:06And mine too, but...

18:09I always knew they would come to an end.

18:13Why must they?

18:15Because I am a lady's maid and you're a gentleman.

18:19What, and no gentleman ever married a lady's maid?

18:22You're dreaming.

18:28Believe me, I'm not.

18:32If you still feel this way in a year's time...

18:36I feel the same way in 50 years' time.

18:37Then I have your address.

18:46All right.

18:51Wherever you are...

18:52I'll come to you.

18:55I'll come to you.

19:10Louisa. Louisa, please.

19:40Please, keep your voice down. My assistant is asleep. Why have you come?

19:56Honestly, I don't know. To prove you aren't a figment of my imagination. Or to see the

20:09only person who ever completely understood me.

20:14Did. We are very different now. Yet here we are.

20:30Do you still paint?

20:35Really. It's one of the many things I gave up to serve the god of commerce.

20:42Sad to hear it.

20:46Well tell me about your husband. Late husband.

20:50Is there any point in...

20:52Well, were you happy?

20:56Did you love him?

20:59Uh, that's my assistant. Um, do you sleepwalks?

21:06You must go. Please don't come here again.

21:10You must go.

23:57Not that I lay claim to any form of artistry.

24:00Perhaps you underestimate yourself.

24:32I'm convinced he has Miss Carteret in his sights.

24:44Parcheter told me he's on the river this afternoon with a picnic.

24:48Which can only mean...

24:50An imminent announcement.

24:52I'm sure we can all agree Olivia Carteret is an excellent choice.

24:56Certainly fits the bill for a man destined to be chairman.

24:59Miss Heron, you've known each other in a matter of weeks, so I have no right to question any choice you might make.

25:08But today when I heard you speak of Paris...

25:09Oh, you've got me rash, irresponsible.

25:11Far from it.

25:12I understood the impulse, I understood the impulse, the desire, and I recognized that I wish to encourage it.

25:19Encourage?

25:19It's true that Paris has a somewhat shady reputation, though I myself found it captivating.

25:26But you've been?

25:27In my youth, and would not be averse to visiting again if you were there.

25:35Though my family will no doubt they disapprove.

25:38Perhaps we needn't tell them.

25:55Mrs. Forsythe.

25:59I hope I'm not disturbing you.

26:03Won't you take a seat?

26:08I've always been curious about you.

26:13The girl who first captured his heart.

26:17Not that he ever spoke of you.

26:19One just instinctively knows.

26:22That one wasn't the first.

26:27What made you come to my house?

26:30You begged me to.

26:32And you were curious.

26:35And hoped to see him.

26:36I've never attempted to see him.

26:38I've never tried to contact him.

26:40I've never asked him for anything.

26:43Does he know about the children?

26:46No.

26:47You understand he never can.

26:49It would ruin him.

26:51In his business, reputation is everything.

26:54And in mine.

26:56I came here with nothing.

26:58Single-handedly raised...

26:59His two children.

27:01Whilst building a business.

27:02Do you seriously imagine that I wish to endanger my own good name?

27:05And should he try to see you?

27:06I will tell him to go away.

27:10I will tell him to go away.

27:10Oh, my God.

27:40I thought your scrawling days were long gone.

28:01Something you wanted, Sam's?

28:02Perhaps you should give it all up.

28:05Quit the grind and daub away to your heart's content.

28:09Perhaps I should.

28:10Why don't you?

28:14Ask my father or yours.

28:16Of course.

28:19You're here to save us.

28:22How noble.

28:27Good day to you, Sam's.

28:28What did I say?

28:42First time we boxed at Oxford.

28:44I never make it as a fighter because I like to submen.

28:46Remind me why we became friends.

28:51Because we both needed a punchback.

28:53And I was missing some.

28:54So, brother, a number of us have been speaking and, uh, well, we're keen to hear Joe's vision for the company.

29:05Vision?

29:06Hmm.

29:07The head of the vote.

29:08What vote?

29:09There'll be no vote.

29:10There'll be no vote.

29:11The decision is mine.

29:12Yeah, but it must be ratified.

29:14It's tradition.

29:15Eldest son to eldest son.

29:17Well, with respect.

29:19Well, you broke with tradition when you pushed Joe into the chair before your demise.

29:24Even so...

29:24I mean, surely, you want all the board to be fully behind the new appointment?

29:30Don't think I don't know what you're about.

29:33You have your eye on the prize for Soames.

29:36I think we both know he's the better man for the job.

29:48Isaac, just curious.

29:50Did you pick up any sense from the other partners what they think of Joe's promotion?

29:57I know what I think.

29:59Tell me.

30:01He's passionate.

30:02Struggles to compromise.

30:04Hmm.

30:05But that's why this company needs him.

30:08In ten years, he's never let you down.

30:13I don't believe he ever will.

30:18Thank you, Isaac.

30:20Your father just told me.

30:33Beggars belief, the idea of a vote.

30:36Expected.

30:38Well, you know James is setting you up to fail.

30:40Quite.

30:43Disappoint him.

30:45You have the vision, the ability.

30:47You deserve it.

30:51We deserve it.

30:53So let's be very considered about our next move.

30:58I'll throw it away in a moment of madness.

31:01Zero.

31:18Four.

31:19Four.

31:21Four.

31:22Zero.

31:23Four.

31:24Four.

31:25Four.

31:25I'm not done so well.

31:27That's so funny.

31:29There you go.

31:29Clever dog.

31:33Someone's looking pleased with themselves.

31:36Happy Miss Carteret.

31:37Happy Soames, if you've any sense.

31:39Which I'm certain he does.

31:41Well, I mustn't be late.

31:43I told June I'd take her with me, but Frances has forbidden her to go.

31:46Get where?

31:47The dressmaker, Mrs. Louisa.

31:50Who also does wedding gowns.

31:52Why did Frances forbid her?

31:53No idea, but she was absolutely insistent.

31:55June is not to go.

31:57Well, I'm heading into town myself.

31:58Can I drop you?

31:59Silk Street in Soho.

32:01There's a jewelers nearby.

32:03Won't you join us?

32:04No.

32:05I will make my own arrangements.

32:06My dear, are you quite well?

32:18Yes.

32:21That is, a matter has come to my attention.

32:26I'm not quite sure how to manage it.

32:32That will be, um, Mrs. Darty.

32:35Uh, is Mrs. Byrne at home?

32:47Children, put those down.

32:49Come here.

32:55Hello.

32:57Are you...

32:58My children, yes.

32:58Yes.

32:59Yes.

33:05And their father?

33:09He died.

33:11A long time ago.

33:13Before we were born.

33:16How old are you?

33:17Ten.

33:18Hannah, take the children.

33:20But, Mama, please do as I say I need to speak.

33:22With this gentleman, I'll come to you soon.

33:23Who is their father?

33:41Is he dead?

33:44Is he?

33:44As good as.

33:58Dear God, Louisa, you couldn't think to tell me.

34:00What should I have said?

34:03No claim on you.

34:04We barely knew each other.

34:07I saw myself for what I was.

34:09A diversion.

34:09I loved you.

34:14You desired me as I desired you.

34:16And what we had was brief and careless.

34:20And could never have come to anything.

34:25You should have looked for me.

34:27After Venice.

34:28You knew my family.

34:29You knew my name.

34:29I did look for you.

34:31When I knew I was with child.

34:33I had every intention of seeking you out.

34:35So why didn't you?

34:35I read about your marriage in the newspaper.

34:42What else could I do but make my own arrangements?

34:46Earn enough to set aside for my confinement.

34:49I took in mending, embroidery, anything I could to provide for my child.

34:55Children, as it turned out.

34:57But if you told me.

34:58Then what?

35:00You had a wife, a stepchild, a family name.

35:02Is that supposed to be your guilty secret?

35:07Better to find my own means to provide for my children.

35:12Our children.

35:16Our children.

35:20They can never know.

35:24Please don't make this difficult.

35:27Our lives need not be thrown into disarray simply because we happen to meet again.

35:32As you wish.

35:44But first I'd like to see the children again.

35:48Don't do this.

35:51Please let me see them, Louisa.

35:55Please.

36:02Children, come here.

36:13And it is certain the children are his?

36:18Beyond doubt.

36:22And he doesn't know.

36:24Does anyone?

36:25Nor must they.

36:27James and Soames especially.

36:29Indeed.

36:30How trustworthy is this girl?

36:32Could she threaten to expose him?

36:33I don't believe she will.

36:35She's posing as a widow.

36:37Good.

36:37And a respectable dressmaker.

36:40So we are confident the matter will go no further?

36:44We are.

36:45Come.

36:52Come.

36:55This is a friend of mine.

37:05Hello.

37:08I'm Joe.

37:09How funny.

37:10So am I.

37:13But everyone calls me Joss.

37:17May I call you Joss?

37:24I'm Holly.

37:26I know he looks older.

37:27But we're twins.

37:28It's a pleasure to meet you, Holly.

37:35Are you crying?

37:39Yes, I am crying.

37:43Are you sad?

37:45No.

37:48I'm happy.

37:52Happier than you can imagine.

37:57Sorry.

37:58I don't wish to scare you.

38:02That's the last thing I want.

38:03Please, you must leave.

38:05I have clients to you.

38:07The back door, this way.

38:16Please don't come here again.

38:18I'll see you at dinner, Pa.

38:37I'll see you at dinner, Pa.

38:37I came back.

38:39I'll see you at dinner.

38:39Come on.

38:56Come on.

38:59I was told you were looking for me.

39:21I came just now from Soho.

39:24Yes.

39:25From the dressmaker, Louisa.

39:27She and I knew each other years ago.

39:31I'm aware.

39:33I've seen her myself.

39:37Then you know about...

39:38The children.

39:39Yes.

39:46Nothing about their existence is simple.

39:52And clearly there are consequences.

39:55Yes.

39:57The possibility of discovery.

40:01How it can be used against you.

40:04Just as we're in touching distance of everything we've worked for.

40:07We're a partnership.

40:12A family.

40:15Let's not complicate or compromise.

40:19We can put all of this behind us and go on as before.

40:21I don't think you understand.

40:24I can't go on as before.

40:28Before, I was unaware.

40:30But you're under no obligation.

40:31I can't wish away two human beings, Francis.

40:33You mean to acknowledge them.

40:39I mean not to deny their existence.

40:42For now, promise me no one need know.

40:56No one need know.

41:00It would be catastrophic for you as chairman, for us as a family, for me as your wife.

41:10I promise.

41:14How could you?

41:22How could she make up for me?

42:39What did you hear?

42:50All of it.

42:51I knew her before your mother and I had met.

43:02But it makes no difference to us.

43:04You're still my beloved daughter.

43:05Except now I have to share you.

43:07No.

43:07Mama has to share you.

43:08It's her, isn't it, Luisa?

43:23The one who gave you this?

43:24Forgive me, Miss Herron, but in the spirit of our recent conversation,

43:49I wanted to bring you a gift.

43:57Oh, they're beautiful.

44:01Oh, thank you.

44:02I hope they might speed you on your way to Paris and the fulfillment of your desires.

44:10Oh, Mr. Forsyte, you've been such a friend to me.

44:14I hope so.

44:17I do.

44:20And yet...

44:22With your permission, I would like to think of myself as more than a friend.

44:31Forgive me.

44:38I'm well-schooled in matters of business.

44:41Less so in matters of the heart.

44:45Which, to be frank, has never been touched.

44:48And by a single soul.

44:51Until...

44:54Believe me, I never intended to speak so soon, but...

44:58Your imminent departure, I...

45:01I can no longer leave unsaid what I've known from the moment I saw you.

45:11You are my heart's desire.

45:13I cannot...

45:15Imagine...

45:16A life without you.

45:18Mr. Forsyte, this is...

45:21Unexpected.

45:24But not, I hope, unwelcome.

45:28I...

45:29To be truthful, I'm...

45:31A little astonished.

45:32We scarcely know each other.

45:34But what we do know might lead us to be...

45:36Hopeful.

45:39Perhaps.

45:43Um...

45:44Then let me say one more thing.

45:48I'm convinced we could be happy.

45:54But if you find we cannot...

45:55Though, God help me, I'll move heaven and earth to make us so.

45:59I will release you.

46:02And you will be free.

46:06That's...

46:07Very generous.

46:10But if you agree to our engagement...

46:13We will go to Paris together.

46:16And from there, plan our future.

46:18And it will be all that you've dreamed of.

46:23And more.

46:30Just imagine, Cyril...

46:34Dear Soames engaged and replacing Joa's chair.

46:37That day could be closer than you think.

46:42Come on, child.

47:03Spit it out.

47:04How...

47:06Get down.

47:09Go.

47:10Go.

47:11Go.

47:14Go.

47:16Go.
