00:00The call of duty. Is it to ourselves?
00:07Or to others?
00:12Each generation debates the dilemma.
00:18Follow the money or follow your heart.
00:25The
00:29The
00:35The
00:39The

00:47The

00:51June and I agree. You mustn't reproach yourself.
01:06The children. It's not as if you left them unprovided for.
01:11They'll inherit a considerable sum when they reach their maturity.
01:15They will.
01:18And I understand the struggle.
01:21The power of first love. And when there are consequences.
01:25I've cut ties with her, Frances.
01:28There's nothing more to be said.
01:31And for that, June and I are grateful.
01:35So, may we now turn our attention to the Carterettes?
01:42Brace you.
01:44Oh, Figaro. He's slower than Treacle.
01:47I feel quite neglected.
02:03Two weeks and not even a postcard.
02:07Surely he can't be that busy.
02:09Oh, I don't know.
02:09Well, firstly, I'm enjoying the peace.
02:14So much less drama.
02:17I doubt Jay would agree with you.
02:19Oh, Monty.
02:21Yes!
02:21Once the dust has settled, we need to implement the succession without delay.
02:28Why the agency?
02:29I waited a long time to become chairman.
02:41Nothing prepares you for the loneliness.
02:44The lack of a mentor.
02:46Everyone waiting for you to fail.
02:48So, I want you to take on the mantle now while I'm still here to guide you.
03:01And since Soames is away, we can use his absence.
03:07To do what?
03:08To assure the doubters that you and not he are the man for the job.
03:13When will you tell them?
03:21I've already written to my father.
03:31I told him Forsyte and Co. should explore new markets.
03:34That I intend to set up an office here in Paris where I can have complete autonomy.
03:40Won't he applaud that?
03:41No.
03:41They want me in London, fulfilling his lifelong ambition to thwart his brother.
03:47Believe me, I do a better job than my cousin, but I've told him I need a new challenge.
03:52You have me.
03:54Am I not challenge enough?
03:57You are.
03:59Let me see.
04:00What are you?
04:02A wild thing?
04:05A wood nymph?
04:07A goddess?
04:08I saw the samurais today.
04:13What?
04:15Where?
04:16When?
04:17In the gardens.
04:20You went out alone?
04:22I loved the early morning light.
04:25But my darling, we're husband and wife now.
04:27We should want to do everything together.
04:31Everything?
04:31Is that not what marriage is about?
04:36Of course.
04:39Next time I'll wake you.
04:41Hmm.
04:45Ah, Forsyte.
04:47Is it true?
04:49Soames missing in action?
04:50Yes.
04:51Miss Honeymoon.
04:52Poor excuse, I grant you.
04:53Can I help?
04:54Hmm.
04:55So long gold.
04:56Sir Jimmy Buckland's venture.
04:58Soames told me it's a gold mine.
05:00Literally.
05:02Good.
05:03Count me in.
05:04To the tune of...
05:08Well, it's your choice, of course, Mr. Cully, but...
05:11I'd advise against.
05:14Sir Jim has a dubious safety record.
05:17Prone to accidents and human fatalities.
05:19I really want...
05:20And?
05:21If there are a few careless laborers lost down a mine.
05:25Small price to pay for such fabulous returns.
05:27Couldn't agree more.
05:28James Forsyte.
05:29Allow me to expedite your purchase this way.
05:34With me?
05:34With me?
05:34Me.
05:36I don't know.
05:38I love to have one.
05:41I don't know.
05:42I don't know.
05:43I don't know.
05:48I don't know.
05:48I don't know.
06:18I don't know.
06:48I don't know.
06:54Mrs. Barrington.
06:56Anna, what a lovely surprise.
06:59My dear Louisa.
07:02You don't look a day older.
07:04That's kind of you to say.
07:07How's it been?
07:08A struggle, but so much worse if you hadn't stepped in.
07:11I take no credit.
07:13I gave you a helping hand.
07:15The rest you've done yourself.
07:18Oh.
07:20How inspiring.
07:25And to that end,
07:27I have a favor to beg.
07:30Of course, anything.
07:32I hesitate to ask.
07:34It would involve a risk,
07:36and it concerns
07:38my forthcoming fundraising event.
07:40June.
07:42June!
07:58Sir Philip of Culver Street?
08:06June Renegade of High Park.
08:28I thought you might not come.
08:30It was very impertinent of you to ask me.
08:32But perhaps you think the rules of polite society don't apply to us.
08:35Perhaps I think they're petty.
08:36Parochial.
08:37Irrational.
08:42Seriously, can men and women not be friends?
08:46Do friends accept gifts?
08:51Cute.
08:56Recite me one.
09:02In old age shall this generation waste.
09:04Thou shalt remain.
09:05In midst of other woe than ours.
09:07A friend to man, to whom thou sayest.
09:09Beauty is truth.
09:11Truth, beauty.
09:12That is all you know on earth.
09:14And all you need to know.
09:15Where shall we live?
09:16Versailles.
09:17The Tuileries.
09:18The Champs-Elysees.
09:19When I was tiny, we lived in three rooms above a baker's shop.
09:22And my father bought me a canary.
09:24But my mother said that wild things should never be kept in cages.
09:31So she let it fly away.
09:33No doubt to be eaten by a cat.
09:35Mm-hm.
09:36Hmm.
09:37Well, three rooms won't do for us.
09:38We shall need to entertain.
09:41Forge connections.
09:42Now you're about to discuss the fact that it is the first time of the cat.
09:45It's the first time of the cat.
09:46That's a little bit of a cat.
09:48It's the present.
09:49No, I'm not going to say.
09:50It's the first time of the cat.
09:51And you've got the cat.
09:52I don't know.
09:53You've got the cat.
09:54But I'm not going to say.
09:55It's the last time that I'm going to say,
09:56but it's the dog.
09:58It's the dog.
09:59It's the dog.
10:00It's the dog.
10:01It's the dog, it's the dog.
10:02It's the dog.
10:03It's the dog.
10:04Oh, now you're about to discover my guilty secret.
10:08My mum never taught me how to play the hostess.
10:12That's it.
10:13Our marriage is over.
10:17You realise we'll have a housekeeper, servants?
10:20And your mother will think me woefully lacking.
10:23I'm sure she already thinks I've led you astray.
10:26Led me astray?
10:30Have you?
10:31Well, my father taught me university was a waste of time and money.
10:38Likewise, Europe, the grand tour.
10:41So at 16, I was on the floor of the stock exchange,
10:45learning the ropes.
10:47Oh, don't mistake me, none of it was wasted.
10:49But now...
10:54is my duty to the company...
10:59or to myself.
11:01You haven't led me astray.
11:15You've set me free.
11:25Good.
11:25Good to see you.
11:27Someone's all of aglow.
11:37Must be the ride.
11:39The wind was bracing.
11:41Suits you.
11:43You should go more often.
11:45Well, I think I will.
11:57So, the hunt is on.
12:06Yes.
12:06Will it be a chase or a trap?
12:10Frances will have it all planned.
12:12She learned from the master.
12:13Yes.
12:15Utterly brazen.
12:17Might as well stick her on a plate with an apple in her mouth.
12:20Olivia sends her regrets.
12:23She's visiting the Fitzgeralds.
12:24She and young Antony have formed an attachment.
12:26Oh, how delightful.
12:29That was quick.
12:30Poor Cyril finds it all so confusing.
12:33Shall we find you a little treat?
12:35Why don't you?
12:36There we are.
12:39Have you met Mrs. Parker Barrington?
12:41She's back in London.
12:43I'd be happy to introduce you.
12:44Oh, no. No need.
12:47I knew her in Geneva when she was first married.
12:50Sweet girl.
12:51Husband and absolute zidic.
12:53She and I hiked the Matterhorn together.
13:04And I understand you have an extensive collection of moths?
13:10Yes.
13:10I've been longing to know.
13:12What distinguishes a moth from a butterfly?
13:15Oh.
13:15Well, in fact, they do have things in common.
13:18Both belong to the Lepidoptera species.
13:21From the Greek Lepis meaning scale and Teron meaning wing.
13:25Oh, fascinating.
13:25Well, that could hardly have gone better.
13:35June was transformed.
13:38You did her very proud.
13:42Susplendid evening.
13:43Do you really think she's had a change of heart?
13:45It would certainly make things easier.
13:47I don't know.
14:17Soames. Finally. I trust he's announcing his imminent return.
14:47Not coming home. On my heart I shall faint. Can it be true? It must be her doing. Well, you can't deny she's a bewitching little creature. What can he be thinking? Setting up on his own in Paris of all places. Although, with Soames gone, might a fellow step up? What fellow?
15:14Like someone with expertise on risk, investment. Gambling, you mean? And for the mantle of favoured child. Think about it, Freddie. With Soames away, you and I are the preeminent pair of our generation. Nobody is to hear of this. Understood? Of course. On my honour. My heart will break. How should we live without him?
15:44Prepare yourselves.
15:50Is he serious? No, he's clever. If Joe gets the chair, do you see Soames taking orders? This way he gets to be master of his own domain.
15:58Good thinking. No, not good. Defeatist. Joe mustn't be allowed to get the chair. Soames must return and fight his corner. I need to send a telegram.
16:08Dear Mrs. Forsyte. So good of you to come. Did I hear there may soon be exciting news about your daughter and young Horatio?
16:22I couldn't possibly comment.
16:26Lady Carteret herself dropped a hint. She's asked me to donate to her charity for the reclamation of fallen women. And I wondered whether you might be persuaded to join us.
16:42Of course. One must support any scheme that takes these wretched creatures off the streets.
16:48Perhaps we can find ways to alleviate their wretchedness.
16:55They're both very hot. Try to get some sleep, my darlings.
16:59I don't like it. What Mrs. Barrington wants you to do.
17:02She couldn't have asked me at a worse time.
17:04Will these Forsyte's buzzing around?
17:06She wasn't to know. I've never told her who the children's father was.
17:09If you do it, it could ruin you.
17:14She would have asked me if them were to.
17:37An invitation to Frampton Park.
17:39Oh, what's that?
17:42The Carteret family seat.
17:46Am I invited?
17:49I think we both know you're the main attraction, my love.
18:12Oh, my love!
18:16Oh, my love!
18:19And here's my chef, Marie.
18:21My friends, for the coat of ballet, Yvette Colette, Patrice Victor.
18:25Hello, Marie.
18:27Hello, hello.
18:28Hello.
18:31Hello, hello.
18:33Go ahead.
18:34Come on, everyone.
18:35Come on, sit down.
18:38Oh, my dear friends.
18:42Oh, it's beautiful!
18:44So, Champagne?
18:45Are you ready, guys?
18:46We celebrate, isn't it?
18:48But no.
18:49We should absolutely try our home speciality.
18:52Lab 5.
18:57Come on, let's go!
18:58Come on, let's go!
19:01Come on, let's go!
19:02Come on, let's go!
19:12Come on, let's go!
19:15Woo!
19:19Yay!
19:21how could I be so stupid I thought if I appeared compliant then mama would be
19:43more sympathetic would take my wishes into account but but now that's phantom
19:47park yes that can only mean one thing he intends to propose I suppose we'll never meet again I wish
20:10it could be otherwise perhaps you should marry me I think I'd prefer it no I really would prefer it
20:27June let's be serious how on earth would we live I'd have my settlement there'll be no settlement
20:33if your father refuses his consent and believe me he will then we'll run away and live on what I have
20:39debts no reputation I'm yet to secure meaningful commission sometimes I live on cocoa but none of
20:45this matters if we love each other I I shouldn't have said that but you did
20:55and so
21:07it's great
21:35one can have too much of a good thing
21:56do you intend to make a habit of advising clients against surefire investment
22:20what's that salon gold as predicted colossal profits but it seems joe is unable to conquer his
22:30squeamishness I doubt I will you should ask darty sure he's made of sterner stuff did I hear my name
22:37sir jimmy buckland's gold mine shares currently showing a 40 percent uplift oh I like the sound of
22:44that the purpose of this firm is solely to make a profit for its clients but if the heir apparent shows
22:57that the person that the reason that he's got to be an important thing by the owner of that my wife is
23:01a well I think that for the owner of that this firm the owner of that the owner of that his wife is
23:05well I think I'll take a minute to that for it I feel that the owner of the owner of that is
23:09a great-looking person that you think that the owner of that the owner of that everybody can
23:12Horatio Carteret is partial to June well think of that when we go to Frampton Park I believe he
23:24will ask for her hand and he's the heir which eventually means of course that June herself
23:30will be Lady Carteret just for those high mighties need spark and personality feather in your cap my
23:40dear and to you too June of course assuming her father consents why wouldn't he can you think
23:49of a reason unless June can my love sorry it's miles away what was the question is there any
24:06reason I shouldn't consent to you marrying Horatio Carteret yes I believe there is on account of the
24:14fact that I'm already engaged his name's Philip Bassini is an architect one of the new school and
24:24very bright he lives on Culver Street it's also his office he's still awaiting his first commission but
24:31he's so talented he's sure to be in great demand once darling that's enough no one finds this
24:38remotely amusing I don't know I met him at the opera he's a modernist and utterly rejects outmoded
24:46traditions such as asking your father for his daughter's hand before he proposes well actually
24:52I proposed of course you did am I to understand there's actually some truth to this ridiculous June
25:04what are you doing following my heart oh dear but how did where could you tell her it's out of the
25:17question June a word please did you know anything about this why would I we know she likes to confide in
25:33you oh perhaps she thought I disapprove which obviously you do you don't understand it's not like anyone I've ever
25:49known he cares about things that matter about right and wrong he doesn't want to control me he wants me
25:55to be just who I am and that's unlike anyone you ever known yes so I should meet him
26:25you oh
26:28you
26:30you
27:25What is it?
27:51Why are you looking at me like that?
27:53May a man not look upon his most treasured possession.
27:59Am I really such a thing?
28:02And more.
28:02How could I have done this?
28:21Failed to communicate the foresight imperative.
28:23Seize the crown, lead, instead of playing second fiddle.
28:30What's been the point of my life if not to set my son on the chair?
28:38Is that what you put in your telegram?
28:41Obviously not.
28:43I told him if he didn't take the next train home from Paris, I'd come and drag him home by his earlobes.
28:47Oh, well, that'll do it.
28:57This way, sir.
29:05Ah.
29:07Mr. Bassini.
29:08Ladies, you've done me the honor of inviting me to join your campaign.
29:25And while I suspect that the scale of my donation may have influenced your choice,
29:31I hope I may have something more than guineas to offer.
29:36No doubt you think we'd be presumptuous, daring to aspire to the hand of an heiress.
29:53As you can see, my cuff's afraid, my coat is worn, and to demonstrate the gulf between us,
29:58you invite me to a place whose membership is four times my annual salary.
30:00Actually, I chose it because it's around the corner from your office.
30:09Tell me about yourself.
30:17I'm a radical.
30:19I've declined, bowed convention.
30:24My family's undistinguished.
30:26My studies have left me in debt.
30:27So if you've come here to tell me that I must look elsewhere, I can...
30:30I've come here to ask why you love my daughter.
30:38I've never met anyone like her.
30:42We see the world in the same way.
30:45She's spirited and brave.
30:48And, yes, I love her.
30:50And if you don't believe me, then...
30:52Oh, what if I do believe you?
30:55You've supported this cause long before I arrived.
30:58The hostels you fund for the women you save.
31:02The clergy you pay to instruct them in the error of their ways.
31:06The homes you find amongst the childless gentry for their wretched offspring.
31:11No one can doubt the rigor of your purpose.
31:14But what is the ultimate aim of your charity?
31:18Punishment?
31:19Moral superiority?
31:21Or material assistance?
31:24Let me introduce to you a lady whose history you may find instructive.
31:30Some of you know me.
31:37You honor me with your custom.
31:40I'm kind enough to invite me into your homes.
31:43Ten years ago, I was penniless.
31:45Homeless.
31:47Mrs. Parker Barrington heard of my distress.
31:51She could have judged me.
31:53Made a reckoning of my failings.
31:55But instead, she asked me how she could help.
31:58She found me lodgings.
31:59A midwife.
32:00Sustenance.
32:01She asked me what skills I possessed and employed me as a dressmaker.
32:04Recommended me to her friends.
32:06Many of you have helped to make me what I am today.
32:10Not a burden on society.
32:13But a contributor.
32:16Heartwarming story.
32:17But there's a vast difference between you and the women that we try to help.
32:22You are not what we call fallen.
32:25And if I was, would I deserve the workhouse?
32:28My children removed.
32:29Myself consigned to penitence and shame.
32:32Widowhood and poverty are not sins.
32:42I wasn't a widow.
32:46My children were born out of wedlock.
32:48My children were born out of wedlock.
32:50Their father.
33:00Died.
33:03Before they were born.
33:08Now do you judge me?
33:11Do I appear less deserving to you now?
33:15Not to me.
33:16And not, I hope, to any here.
33:24Thank you so much.
33:56Forgive me, I must go.
34:12You don't strike me as a fortune hunter.
34:17How would you support her?
34:21Oh, well, that is, at present.
34:24I can't, but I have prospects. I'm currently seeking a major commission.
34:29But is money the be-all and end-all?
34:32It is for those who are used to it.
34:37I can't agree to this marriage.
34:40Until you've completed your first commission.
34:43Until then I consent to an engagement.
34:51I have no doubt we'll be seeing a lot of each other.
34:55I'm here, my dear ones.
35:18I'm here now.
35:19You agreed to an engagement?
35:27Why?
35:30He's impulsive, argumentative, and currently without means.
35:35Could be years before he makes his first commission.
35:36Exactly.
35:37And by then the romance would have lost his sheen.
35:41Or stood the test of time.
35:42And you're willing to take that chance?
35:44What is this?
35:50You living vicariously?
35:53Allowing June to do what you always regretted not doing?
35:58Not in the slightest.
36:02I'm holding at peace with my decision.
36:03I knew it.
36:14You were never going to consent because you've no idea how it feels to truly follow your heart.
36:20So go on.
36:21Tell me.
36:22Tell me.
36:22Will you give me permission to get engaged?
36:35She...
36:36And now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier.
36:45No, no, no.
36:53You pause off the table pudding.
36:54You know the rules.
36:56Is there a pact to lower the tone of this family?
37:00First Soames, now June.
37:04There's no one regard for pedigree.
37:07You'll note the lack of announcement.
37:09June's engagement?
37:10No surprise.
37:12I wouldn't advertise such a mismatch.
37:14No wonder the engagement party is close family only.
37:18Poor Frances had such high hopes.
37:21She must be so disappointed.
37:29Did I ever tell you that when I was five I fell into the Seine?
37:33Where were your parents?
37:35Beside me.
37:36But I could swim so my mother was happy for me to take risks.
37:39She was a gambler?
37:40Like you.
37:41With other people's money.
37:42I take calculated risks.
37:45No.
37:46Like chancing your happiness for someone you barely know.
37:51Come with me.
37:53I have a surprise.
37:58Isaac mentioned June's engagement.
38:00Oh, we couldn't be more delighted.
38:03Of course, June could have had her pick, but we believe that young people should follow their hearts.
38:07Oh, I wholly agree.
38:09I want to thank you for joining us the other day.
38:13I hope you were persuaded of the cause.
38:17Dear Louisa, she's such a shining example of what can be achieved.
38:22Yes.
38:23Yes.
38:24Very commendable.
38:25Still, it's a struggle with two little ones to take care of.
38:29And when they both go down with a fever...
38:32Well, I'm so sorry.
38:33I have to dash.
38:35I'm expected at the Devonshire's for luncheon.
38:36Are they very sick?
38:50Scarlet fever.
38:52Apparently.
38:54Poor darlings.
38:56But tell me, how is dear Isaac?
38:58I have to take care of her.

40:58Oh, wasn't it wonderful?
41:00I'll meet the director next week.
41:01And just think, if he accepts me,
41:03you can come and pick me up every night after the performance.
41:05Oh, you should meet Iver's brother.
41:07He's a painter.
41:07He comes to watch all of the rehearsals.
41:09I honestly just can't wait for you to see me dance.
41:13Oh, just imagine.
41:14You can meet me at the stage door every night.
41:17And when we're settled in our new apartment,
41:18we go to the cabin.
41:19And when we're settled in our new apartment,
41:34should we invite your family to come visit?
41:35Are you married?
41:37Yes.
41:38Yes, of course.
41:40My love.
41:43There's something I haven't mentioned.
41:47Telegram from my father.
41:49Is he well?
41:50Beside himself.
41:51That I told him my plans in a letter
41:53when I should have done it face to face.
41:56What was I thinking?
41:59I believe I must return.
42:02Cat, short our honeymoon.
42:05And my audition, should I rearrange?
42:07By all means.
42:09But you must see I owe my father an explanation.
42:12And a person.
42:17Of course.
42:19Of course, I do see that.
42:22So let's return to London
42:23and settle for me, sir.
42:26Once and for all.
42:37How do we know that this fellow
42:56isn't some money-grubbing opportunist?
43:00What is Frances thinking?
43:03She will know that
43:04when the heart is set on something,
43:06the more it's forbidden,
43:08the more it's craved.
43:11Surely you don't imagine
43:13June wants this boy
43:15just to prove she can have him.
43:18I once knew a couple of young men
43:20who pursued the same girl
43:21simply so the other wouldn't get her.
43:28Let me fetch you a drink.
43:36Something amiss?
43:46What?
43:48Nothing to concern you.
43:52No one would believe
43:53we used to be best of friends.
43:55It was a long time ago.
43:57Before the old man
43:58pitied us against each other.
44:00Yes, shape up.
44:04Make sacrifices.
44:05Was it a sacrifice?
44:08For you?
44:11Alexandra?
44:16No more than it was for you.
44:18Do you sometimes wonder
44:21where she disappeared to?
44:23As do I.
44:26Still,
44:28it all turned out for the best?
44:31Emily and you?
44:33Edith and I?
44:35Yes.
44:37Splendid women.
44:40Saved us from ourselves.
44:42I almost felt sorry for him.
44:51Don't.
44:52Did you see his hat?
44:54Left it on a chair
44:55and Emily mistook it for a cat.
45:01Uncle James,
45:02you look as if you'd like
45:04to commission a new house
45:05and here's Phil
45:06just brimming with clever ideas.
45:07I suspect your uncle's
45:08perfectly content with his own house.
45:10But should the opportunity ever arise,
45:12I'm sure you could come to my office
45:14and view my portfolio.
45:15There, now.
45:16What a kind invitation.
45:19Well,
45:20here we are.
45:22Frances and I ask you to join us
45:24in raising a glass
45:24to the newly engaged couple.
45:28June and Philip.
45:29June and Philip.
45:37How to thwart a rebel.
45:38Take away their cause.
45:41Take away their cause.
46:08Take away their cause.
46:45Are they?
47:05Please tell me they're not.
47:07They're not.
47:09Their fever's past, they're sleeping.
47:14Thank God.
