00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Thank you for listening.
01:00What one does it take from another?
01:13Must there always be winners and losers?
01:16Can you still lose?
01:32Even when you think you've won?
01:35And is the game of love ever really over?
01:47Here.
02:06Let me.
02:20Leave it on.
02:25It suits you.
02:26For God's sake, stop fiddling.
02:47Here.
02:49Get out.
02:49Stupid girl.
02:55She's hopeless.
02:56Here.
02:57Let me.
03:06Any word from Papa?
03:07I haven't given him much thought.
03:10Do we think Joe will come skulking back in time?
03:26I can't fathom what possessed him to leave home at all.
03:30It's all waltzing around the office bold as brass.
03:33Poor Frances.
03:34She's done her best, but she's never managed to tame him.
03:36Of course, you scarcely know them, but trust me, Frances will be smarting.
03:40Please continue.
03:48Of what will we be speaking?
03:53Of how no one knows what goes on inside a marriage.
03:58Except the two people in it.
04:01I beg to differ.
04:03What you and Soames have is plain for all to see.
04:06We're off to the park.
04:10Would you care to join us?
04:11That's kind, but I'm meeting June.
04:14What fun.
04:15So lovely that June has a companion her own age.
04:19Shall we go?
04:22Your wife has a mind of her own.
04:30But isn't that why you married her?
04:33Of course.
04:36I, um, I may have got carried away.
04:59Glad I was spared.
05:00Well, I should leave you in peace.
05:07Move into my club.
05:09No, you don't need to do that.
05:10But maybe you should ask Frances to reconsider her terms.
05:14Dear Frances, where have you been?
05:34No one's seen you or dear Julian in weeks.
05:37We've been enjoying the peace and quiet of home.
05:39Oh, then perhaps you've not heard our own dear Horatio engaged to young Countess Avery.
05:46Fellow moth enthusiast.
05:48Sweet girl who matches him in temperament and rank.
05:53And how is June?
05:55And Soames, you Forsytes make such bold matrimonial choices.
05:59Uh, shall we see you at the Parker Barringtons?
06:02If you prefer to keep a low profile, I do understand.
06:15Pure speculation.
06:19But if people are starting to question...
06:20Where are we going?
06:35You must promise not to tell because Soames would be furious.
06:38Soames?
06:38Isn't she enchanting?
07:02Yes, join me.
07:18Morning, sir.
07:21Julian.
07:22Will you be making an appearance at the gala?
07:26He will indeed, cousin.
07:28In fact, he will be giving the opening address.
07:32It is, after all, the 50th anniversary and so highly appropriate for the heir apparent at this great juncture in our company's history to lay out his vision for the future.
07:44As for your marital situation, it is not ideal.
07:49So mend it, then return home to your excellent wife who has done absolutely nothing to merit your desertion and thus allay any doubts about your fitness to...
08:03Is this actually something you want?
08:05As in?
08:06Did you ever really intend to retire?
08:08Why would you doubt it?
08:09Because you're still young.
08:10And the fact that you keep pushing me tells you that I was nowhere near ready to take a back seat.
08:16Well, perhaps you're right.
08:17But having seen you make the right call, when I so spectacularly failed to do so,
08:25I am content with my decision.
08:28It's been a struggle.
08:44But trust me, I have a plan.
08:46Ah, my dear.
08:48You and I understand each other.
08:50Always have.
08:51Knew from the moment we met that you would be the jewel in our crown.
08:54Our task now is to bring the boy home in time for the gala.
08:59Leave that to me.
09:01A city of romance, ballet, and scandal.
09:05You must.
09:10I'd like to thank you for allowing us to what you've done.
09:14My pleasure.
09:16No.
09:17Would you excuse me, pal?
09:19No, I swear.
09:20You wouldn't.
09:22Oh, I would.
09:23My dear.
09:24Shall we go?
09:27Must we?
09:29Hmm.
09:49You say you never want to, children.
09:51I also said I want to live in a hut in Tahiti and paint sunsets.
09:55What happened to that plan, eh?
09:59At least I'll get to watch your child grow up.
10:02And have some influence in their life.
10:05Try not to set a...
10:07bad example.
10:09And to your own children?
10:10Well, I think we both know you still have much to give.
10:18You seem a little out of sorts.
10:36Perhaps I'm still mourning.
10:40Your father?
10:41My life.
10:44Or rather, the one I was promised.
10:47My dear.
10:48Need we revisit this?
10:50Paris was a beautiful dream.
10:51Which you led me to believe you shared.
10:52For reasons beyond our control.
10:54We are here.
10:57And there is much to be grateful for.
10:59There is.
11:01But I cannot pretend it's what I would have chosen.
11:03I cannot pretend it's what I would have chosen.
11:09There is nothing to repent.
11:10Oh, yes.
11:11That's my Dad.
11:12Come on.
11:12Backward, old man.
11:13Come on, backward.
11:14Come on, backward, guys.
11:14Come on, Ben.
11:15Come on, men.
11:16Come on.
11:16Come on.
11:18Come on.
11:19Come on.
11:20Come on.
11:24あ a little boy.
11:24Come on.
11:26Come on.
11:27Come on.
11:27Come on.
11:27Come on, man.
11:32Come on.
11:32Come on.
11:33I take it you don't expect visitors.
11:52No, not as a rule.
11:55I have a question.
11:56Yes.
11:58Why would a gentleman trust the architect of such squalor?
12:03With the design and build of a country house?
12:06Well, if you're at all familiar with the creative process...
12:08I'm familiar with the works of great artists.
12:11Then you'll appreciate that chaos can be the mother of inspiration.
12:16And in your inspired opinion,
12:23were a gentleman to contemplate the commissioning of a country house,
12:27where would he begin?
12:33You have a visitor.
12:35Waiting in the boardroom.
12:50Harry Faulkner.
12:54Yes?
12:54Your father and uncle refuse to offer compensation,
12:58so you will cover his losses from funds that I'll provide.
13:03Why would you provide?
13:05Call it a moral obligation.
13:08Your late grandfather and I, we...
13:12We knew his mother.
13:14Who was she?
13:14After she fell on hard times,
13:17your grandfather provided a home,
13:19a family,
13:20a trust for the child,
13:21which has recently matured
13:23and was squandered on your uncle's advice
13:26in the goldmine debacle.
13:28And the child's father?
13:30I couldn't tell you.
13:33Couldn't or won't?
13:35Kindly make the necessary arrangements.
13:43And while you're at it...
13:45Yes.
13:46Your own affairs?
13:48Get a grip on them, dear.
13:51It'll be the making of you.
13:52Yeah.
14:05How many days have you been involved with?
14:15It was hard preparing.
14:16How'd you learn that?
14:17It's really good.
14:35What a flattering gown, Miss Louisa.
15:00Alas, no.
15:02I was obliged to discontinue our arrangement.
15:04Service was disappointing.
15:08Oh, you surprise me.
15:09I find her excellent.
15:12Although, tediously, she's now moved to the back of beyond.
15:15Can't imagine why.
15:17Perhaps she feared condemnation after her brave confession.
15:21So courageous.
15:22Indeed.
15:23The cause of fallen women, such a complex one.
15:27Is it not?
15:34What is this place?
15:39I believe it's called Robin Hill.
15:40Your experience is limited.
15:48I've graduated top of my year.
15:52Your full enthusiasm is no substitute for skill.
15:56One certainly wouldn't wish to pay a premium for it.
15:58Indeed.
16:00One would expect that any fee, however small, would be gratefully seized upon.
16:06Then one would be mistaken.
16:07I do not underestimate my worth, however others may choose to.
16:11So, an uncritical presumption of need.
16:24A commitment to provide unconditional support so that these women can begin to help themselves.
16:31As dear Louisa has demonstrated.
16:37And yet, might some of these women benefit more from an atonement-based model?
16:45Atonement?
16:47Interesting word.
16:49As you know, our aim is never to judge, but to support.
16:54Whether or not they deserve it.
16:56Well, I know I speak for many when I say that to ignore some of the damage done by these women
17:03to decent, upstanding families is an obstacle to many who might wish to contribute.
17:10Perhaps you should form your own charity,
17:13one the prize's correction and penance above indiscriminate handouts.
17:18I wish you luck.
17:23I sense you have your reasons.
17:31You must do what you think best.
17:33You must do what you think best.
17:57When could you commence?
18:13I'm sorry.
18:14You wish to...
18:15Commission some preliminary drawings so that I may assess your suitability.
18:20At once, if you wish.
18:22You will, however, refrain from discussing our arrangement with anyone, particularly my wife.
18:33You understand that this is to be a surprise?
18:37Of course.
18:52What is it? Tell me.
19:07I was ordered not to say.
19:11By whom?
19:13Soames Forsyte.
19:15What on earth could he have to say?
19:17What on earth could he have to say?
19:47May I speak with your mama?
19:49Mama went out.
19:52Oh.
19:52Will you come in?
19:54I'll ask Hannah to make some tea.
19:58Yes.
19:59But only for a moment.
20:09You like painting.
20:11I do.
20:12But my master's must practice more.
20:18Well, these are excellent.
20:20You really capture the bird's feathers.
20:24My master's your good drawing.
20:26Will you draw us?
20:27I could.
20:38No, no, no, no, no.
20:39You...
20:39You go on painting.
20:48May I?
20:49Yeah.
20:50Yes.
20:50Yes.
20:50Much better than Joss.
21:07May we keep it?
21:08Mama will love it.
21:09I know something she'd like.
21:12Are you not bursting with joy?
21:39Well, I know it's meant to be a secret, but of course you know.
21:42Phil's commission.
21:43To build a house for you and Soames.
21:46But they agreed yesterday.
21:47Sorry, what?
21:48Did Soames not mention that...
21:51Oh, my God.
21:53I'm so sorry.
21:55Phil said it was a secret, but I never thought from you.
21:59You have to pretend.
22:00When Soames tells you, you look surprised or he'll be furious with me.
22:04But isn't it just the best of news?
22:06I can get married.
22:08You get abused in your house.
22:09And Phil is such a damn thing.
22:11I know I'm designing my house.
22:12I know I'm trying to do this.
22:13I know I'm trying to do this.
22:17Mrs. Forsyte?
22:30Is your husband...
22:31No.
22:33Are you coming?
22:40Is this about the commission?
22:41No.
22:43Yes.
22:44I hardly know.
22:46Do you have questions?
22:48Many.
22:48About the design?
22:49About the site.
22:51And the purpose.
22:54The site I can answer for.
22:5530 miles from London.
22:56Spectacular views.
22:57No other dwelling for miles around.
23:01As for the purpose...
23:05Is that not obvious?
23:06I shouldn't have come.
23:10I should be congratulating you and June.
23:13Your wedding can be sooner.
23:15Yes.
23:16I'm glad.
23:17It means the world to her.
23:21I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
23:34Mrs. Forsyte?
23:36Mrs. Forsyte?
23:40Forgive me.
23:43I could pretend to misunderstand your distress, but who would that serve?
23:46It was wrong of me to involve you.
23:49But how can I proceed?
23:50Knowing that what I've been commissioned to build will effectively be your prison.
23:54That's not the word I used.
23:58It was implied.
23:59And it's not inaccurate.
24:11Then all that remains is to find a way to make a graceful exit.
24:14What do you mean?
24:17But I can't be the one that will alert your husband and devastate June.
24:24I must make him withdraw of his own accord.
24:26But June will be distraught.
24:28And you?
24:29It's your first commission.
24:32I'm arrogant enough to believe there'll soon be another.
24:34I really don't know what to say.
24:45Say absolutely nothing.
24:46I really don't know what to say.
25:04We have a surprise for you.
25:13Close your eyes.
25:14Oh.
25:27Open your eyes.
25:31Do you like it, Mama?
25:34Go and play outside.
25:43Do we have to?
25:44Yes, please.
26:04I've brought some preliminary designs with costings.
26:15Your efficiency bodes well.
26:27With costings?
26:30Your efficiency bodes well.
26:31Some mistake, surely?
26:44As in several noughts too many?
26:46To design a property befitting the status and the magnitude of a gentleman such as yourself.
26:51I asked you to build me a house, not the Palace of Westminster.
26:53I cannot in all conscience reduce the scale, and thus the cost, by a single penny.
26:57But then you have done yourself out of a commission, sir.
26:59Mr. Bassini.
27:01I was just leaving.
27:02Good day to you both.
27:03Why was he here?
27:09I had thoughts of commissioning a house.
27:11We have a house.
27:12Of our own, away from these prying, gossiping.
27:16What do you mean?
27:17Your family has been nothing but kind.
27:19My thought was to remove ourselves from the city altogether, to the countryside where we might
27:24have room to breathe.
27:25And Mr. Bassini has been unable to deliver that vision?
27:29Unfortunately, yes.
27:30The arrogant young pup has just priced himself out of the market.
27:55You asked to see me?
28:05Ah, yes.
28:09To see if you've come to your senses.
28:13Or are you still minded to favour your mistress over your wife?
28:17She's not my mistress.
28:19People make assumptions.
28:21No one knows of our previous attachment, and now that our connection is platonic.
28:25Despite the fact that you left our home.
28:29You know why I left our home?
28:32Because I couldn't agree to cease contact with my children.
28:39Well, as to that,
28:48I might be willing to reconsider.
28:55Reconsider how?
29:11I give a little.
29:12You give a little.
29:14You give a little.
29:15We both want the same thing.
29:19You.
29:21Home.
29:25In time for the gala.
29:26Harry Falkenor.
29:41Yes?
29:41Writing to thank us for reimbursing his losses.
29:44What?
29:46Did you have something to do with this?
29:49Hardly.
29:49Did you?
29:50Absolutely not.
29:51Then who?
29:54Then why?
29:58Quite the mystery.
30:01Yes.
30:11Okay.
30:11I was thinking about that day we met.
30:37It seems an age ago.
30:42And still we barely know each other.
30:45I disagree.
30:52Perhaps it's that we just want such different things.
30:57Is this about Paris?
30:58Paris is when I first realized.
31:00What?
31:00How...
31:02And unlike we are.
31:23I look forward to seeing what you've chosen for the gala.
31:27It's important to make an impact.
31:32You should wear your new necklace.
31:57Slightly alarming.
31:59Talk of Joe returning home.
32:02If we can't play the tarnishing the company reputation card, I...
32:05Thought I should mention planning to make a splash at the grand event.
32:09So if you'd like me to give the address.
32:11Next generation rising like salmon to scale the rapids of opportunity?
32:16Yes, thank you.
32:17I'll bear that in mind.
32:18What's this I hear?
32:19You treating us to your vision for the future at our gala.
32:23I can hardly wait.
32:25Care to give us a taster?
32:26Not especially.
32:28Well, let me guess.
32:29Profit is the devil.
32:31Caution is king.
32:33And if our clients lose money, it's up to us to bail them out.
32:35If it's due to us giving poor advice, then yes.
32:38Nothing to do with their own greed or willful ignorance.
32:41Everything to do with our obligation to urge them not to put their eggs in one basket.
32:44No matter how guaranteed the returns or by how much commission we stand to make.
32:49And to say otherwise is just...
32:51Yes?
32:52What is it?
32:53Morally bankrupt.
32:59That's priceless.
33:00Our would-be chair, the most degenerate member of the firm, presumes to preach morality to the rest of us.
33:07To the man who knowingly capsized the Durham Mining Company, thereby ruining their investors, including his own future father-in-law, making his wife-to-be destitute.
33:15She doesn't know, does she?
33:23And this from the man who's conveniently jilted his wife so he can debauch his mistress and fawn over his brats!
33:32Is this the type of leadership you're after?
33:45Oh no.
33:49I don't know.
34:19Jolien is late.
34:34Oh, my love, I really think we would be happier if we're not here.
34:39And how was the gun, Marty?
34:41I heard it was exquisite.
34:42Yes, it was.
34:43Jolien.
34:46I like it, my lady.
34:47I quite like it.
34:49It's in the rail.
34:49It's in the rail.
34:49It's in the rail.
34:52All this scrumptious distraction in your heart.
34:57It's a cage.
34:58These are fantasies.
34:59It's a reality.
35:01It's only one to see.
35:02Hey, do you know what I'm doing?
35:04I don't like your love.
35:06I don't like you.
35:08I don't like you.
35:08I don't like you.
35:09I don't like you.
35:10I don't like you.
35:11I don't like you.
35:12I don't like you.
35:12It's in the air.
35:13Thanks.
35:15Quite right, Dave.
35:19Is Jolien proposing to make some sort of grand entrance?
35:22He'll be here, rest assured.
35:24Exciting.
35:28Where's Joe?
35:29Did he not leave with you?
35:30He left ahead of me.
35:32I thought he'd be here.
35:33Right.
35:36It's so exciting.
35:38I can't quite believe it.
35:40We're getting married, Phil.
35:42Aren't you just thrilled beyond words?
35:44I know Mama has plenty of plans already.
35:46Excuse me.
35:46I'm so excited.
35:57From Sose?
35:59You guessed.
36:00Reminds me of one my late husband gave me.
36:06Haven't worn it in years.
36:07We had a splendid time today.
36:10Oh.
36:12Give you love, Mrs. Forsythe.
36:18Forsythe.
36:20We have so much time.
36:24Now, Sose has reconsidered the commission.
36:27Reconsidered?
36:31Does he not like the design?
36:33He dislikes the price.
36:35Reduce it?
36:36Cannot be done.
36:37Not without detriment to the plans.
36:38What about our plans?
36:39There are other considerations.
36:40Well, think of Irene.
36:41How will she feel?
36:42I am thinking of Irene.
36:46I suspect she may not be as keen on the idea as Sose.
36:50Well, it is true, we'd hardly ever see each other and it would be just the two of them.
37:02But our wedding, I can't bear the thought of having to wait.
37:05Nor I, but...
37:06Mr. Bassini, on further consideration, I believe the site will suit me well.
37:11Let us proceed.
37:12I'm sorry?
37:13You will build me a house at Robin Hill.
37:15I knew you'd come.
37:42Well, your father was right.
37:45We shouldn't have doubted you.
37:47And I've been at fault, issuing ultimatums, forcing you to make a choice when you'd have come to your senses of your own accord.
37:55Francis...
37:55We can salvage this.
37:57Our marriage.
37:59Your ascension.
38:00This is our moment.
38:01Francis, I'm sorry.
38:02I'm sorry.
38:08For everything you worked for, everything you've done.
38:12You deserve a better return.
38:18I do.
38:20And I cannot give it.
38:24Yesterday, it struck me.
38:28Battling with Psalms, fighting to impose my will on the company.
38:31My heart's not in it.
38:35Never was.
38:36I don't understand.
38:41What are you saying?
38:47Then I'll never cease to love you.
38:51Respect, admire.
38:52I'll provide for you.
38:56I'll never return to the phone.
39:01Or this house.
39:02What is this?
39:26What?
39:30I'm sorry
39:42I tried
39:45You're very kind
39:52Not kind
39:54It's just
40:00The thought of you being with
40:02I won't give up
40:07I swear it
40:11I can't
40:30There will be no divorce
40:39Your children will not be legitimized
40:46You will suffer rejection from the family
40:52The firm
40:54From all of London
40:59I accept that
41:06I thought I'd molded you into something resembling a rational being
41:22I was mistaken
41:27So go
41:30You were once interesting to me
41:35Now you bore me
41:41Goodbye Francis
41:51You were once
41:53You were once
41:54You were once
41:55You were once
41:56You were once
41:57You were once
41:58You were once
41:59You were once
42:00You were once
42:01You were once
42:02You were once
42:03You were once
42:04You were once
42:05You were once
42:06You were once
42:07You were once
42:08You were once
42:09You were once
42:10You were once
42:11You were once
42:12You were once
42:13You were once
42:14You were once
42:15You were once
42:16You were once
42:17You were once
42:48Where is he? Is he coming?
42:54I've been looking all over for the man of the hour. Where is dear Jolyon?
42:57I'm afraid he's just been called away.
43:02What's such an auspicious day?
43:05How disappointing for you all.
43:07A small inconvenience.
43:10I trust we're more than capable of enjoying the festivities in his absence.
43:14Mr. Cole, I wonder if I might call upon you to transact some business for me?
43:20Yes, of course.
43:21My late father left a property in Camden which has lain empty for many years.
43:26I propose to donate it to the charity.
43:29That's most generous.
43:31For conversion into suitable accommodation for needy women.
43:37Of course, I'm no expert, but perhaps you could advise me in matters legal and beyond.
43:43It would be a pleasure.
43:44Impressive performance.
43:46Well, isn't that how the higher species evolve?
43:49By their ability to adapt.
43:51I suspect you and I will work very well together.
44:08So, Jo's bolted.
44:10Shall I step in, say a few words, hand over to Soames and passing the torch, all that?
44:16I think on balance, no.
44:21No?
44:23I prefer to do the honours myself.
44:25Pray silence for her illustrious highness, Mrs. Anne Euphemia Isadora Forsyte.
44:48Dear friends, no doubt you are expecting an address from one of the male members of this firm.
45:05Instead, you have me.
45:09Perfectly placed to judge the merits and the demerits of this formidable clan.
45:14Since my arrival, there have been many newcomers to the Forsyte ranks.
45:21All of you will have wondered what you were letting yourself in for before becoming Forsytes in your own right.
45:31So, what defines this family?
45:37What is a Forsyte?
45:39A Forsyte is someone who knows the value of loyalty.
45:49And family.
45:52And repute.
45:55We are tenacious.
45:57We are survivors.
46:00And we should never, ever be underestimated.
46:06Only a fool would underestimate you.
46:30Or you, my love.
46:47Seems a shame to let a prime seat go to me.
46:49Oh, Monty, you wouldn't dare.
46:50Well, I think I know my own worth, ready?
46:52Wiggins, move the chair.
46:54This should have been his moment.
47:14You mean your moment.
47:18Eyes on the camera, please.
47:21Holding it still now.
47:23Right.
47:44Mama.
47:45Harry Falconer.
47:49Yes?
47:49It was you who paid him off.
47:54Why would you do that?
47:57My dear boy.
47:59Let's enjoy the day.
48:02We can speak of these things some other time.
48:04But, Mama, who is he?
48:13He's my grandson.
48:14He's муж.
48:39He's my son.
48:40He's my son.
48:44do you remember the day you proposed vividly you said to me
48:57if we were unable to make a success of our marriage
49:02then you would release me
49:05i cannot imagine seeing any such thing
49:11no
49:41I came to finish the painting
49:57There is no urgency
49:59I believe there is
50:01I wish to resume my work as an artist
50:04An ambition I gave up
50:07Ten years ago
50:08As incompatible with the aim
50:11Of my father and my wife
50:13Well, don't mistake me
50:16I've been blessed
50:17I've had wealth, status
50:19A beautiful wife
50:20An adorable stepdaughter
50:21And I could have gone on living
50:27A comfortable, privileged half-life
50:29If you hadn't walked into that room
50:31On June's 18th birthday
50:32And now?
50:36It's done
50:37I've resigned
50:40From the firm
50:41For my family
50:42For my marriage
50:44You can't
50:46What are you thinking?
50:48I'm thinking I can no longer lie to her
50:49Or to myself
50:51Or to you
50:53I want to paint
50:57I want to be a father
51:00To our children
51:01I want to live with you
51:03We'll be outcasts
51:07We'll be poor
51:08I cannot give you my name
51:11But I can give you my love
51:15If you'll have me
51:17Do you even need to ask?
51:33I'll be poor
51:34I'll be poor
51:35I'll be poor
51:36I'll be poor
