00:00Is the heart capable of boundless love?
00:16Or as it gives to one, does it take from another?
00:30Must there always be winners and losers?
00:44Can you still lose?
00:49Even when you think you've won?
00:51And is the game of love ever really over?
01:21Here. Let me.
01:37Leave it on. It suits you.
01:51For God's sake, stop fiddling.
02:00Here. Get out.
02:06Stupid girl. She's hopeless.
02:09Here. Let me.
02:17Any word from Papa?
02:21I haven't given him much thought.
02:34Do we think Joe will come skulking back in time?
02:37I can't fathom what possessed him to leave home at all.
02:40It's all waltzing round the office, bold as brass.
02:43Poor Frances.
02:44She's done her best, but she's never managed to tame him.
02:47Of course, you scarcely know them, but trust me,
02:48Frances will be smarting.
02:54Please continue.
02:58Of what will we speak?
03:00Uh.
03:02What?
03:04Of how no one knows what goes on inside a marriage.
03:07Except the two people in it.
03:10I beg to differ.
03:11What you and Soames have is plain for all to see.
03:15We're off to the park.
03:18Would you care to join us?
03:20That's kind, but I'm meeting June.
03:22What fun.
03:24So lovely that June has a companion her own age.
03:27Shall we go?
03:30Your wife has a mind of her own.
03:38But isn't that why you married her?
03:40Of course.
04:03I, um, a man got carried away.
04:05Well, I was spared.
04:06Well, I should leave you in peace.
04:13Move into my club.
04:15No, you don't need to do that.
04:16But maybe you should ask Frances to reconsider her terms.
04:19Dear Frances, where have you been?
04:39No one's seen you or dear Julian in weeks.
04:41We've been enjoying the peace and quiet of home.
04:43Then perhaps you've not heard our own dear Horatio engaged to young Countess Avery.
04:50Fellow moth enthusiast.
04:52Sweet girl who matches him in temperament and rank.
04:57And how is June?
04:58And soames, you Forsytes make such bold matrimonial choices.
05:03Uh, shall we see you at the Parker Barringtons?
05:06If you prefer to keep a low profile, I do understand.
05:09Pure speculation.
05:21But if people are starting to question.
05:35Where are we going?
05:36You must promise not to tell because soames will be furious.
05:40Soames?
05:40Isn't she enchanting?
06:07It's wrong, Marie.
06:08Good morning, sir.
06:20Julian.
06:22Will you be making an appearance at the gala?
06:26He will indeed, cousin.
06:28In fact, he will be giving the opening address.
06:31It is, after all, the 50th anniversary and so highly appropriate for the heir apparent at
06:36this great juncture in our company's history to lay out his vision for the future.
06:43As for your marital situation, it is not ideal.
06:47So mend it, then return home to your excellent wife who has done absolutely nothing to merit
06:56your desertion and thus allay any doubts about your fitness to lose.
07:01Is this actually something you want?
07:03As in?
07:04Did you ever really intend to retire?
07:06Why would you doubt it?
07:07Because you're still young.
07:08And the fact that you keep pushing me tells you that I was nowhere near ready to take a
07:12back seat?
07:13Well, perhaps you're right.
07:14But having seen you make the right call when I so spectacularly failed to do so,
07:21I am content with my decision.
07:24It's been a struggle, but trust me, I have a plan.
07:42Ah, my dear, you and I understand each other, always have.
07:46Knew from the moment we met that you would be the jewel in our crown.
07:50Our task now is to bring the boy home in time for the gala.
07:53Leave that to me.
08:00You must.
08:05I'd like to thank you for allowing us to what you've done.
08:09My pleasure.
08:10No.
08:11Would you excuse me, pal?
08:14You wouldn't.
08:16Oh, I would.
08:17My dear, shall we go?
08:21Must we?
08:23Hmm.
08:23You used to say you never wanted children.
08:44I also said I wanted to live in a hut in Tahiti and paint sunsets.
08:47What happened to that plan, eh?
08:51At least I'll get to watch your child grow up.
08:54And have some influence in their life.
08:57Try not to set a bad example.
09:00And to your own children?
09:01I think we both know you still have much to give.
09:09You seem a little out of sorts.
09:26Perhaps I'm still mourning.
09:30Your father?
09:31My life.
09:34Or rather, the one I was promised.
09:37My dear, need we revisit this?
09:40Paris was a beautiful dream.
09:41Which you led me to believe you shared.
09:42For reasons beyond our control.
09:44We are here.
09:47And there is much to be grateful for.
09:49There is.
09:51But I cannot pretend it's what I would have chosen.
09:53But I would have chosen my life.
10:01My mother, my woman!
10:12Yeah, my brother.
10:14Hello, that's another one.
10:15Is she lying around?
10:16I take it you don't expect visitors.
10:39No, not as a rule.
10:42I have a question.
10:43Yes.
10:44Why would a gentleman trust the architect of such squalor with the design and build of a country house?
10:52Well, if you're at all familiar with the creative process...
10:54I'm familiar with the works of great artists.
10:57Then you'll appreciate that chaos can be the mother of inspiration.
11:01And in your inspired opinion, were a gentleman to contemplate the commissioning of a country house,
11:12where would he begin?
11:18You have a visitor.
11:20Waiting in the boardroom.
11:21Harry Faulkner.
11:37Yes?
11:38Your father and uncle refuse to offer compensation, so you will cover his losses from funds that I'll provide.
11:47Why would you provide?
11:48Call it a moral obligation.
11:50Your late grandfather and I, we...
11:54We knew his mother.
11:57Who was she?
11:58After she fell on hard times, your grandfather provided a home, a family, a trust for the child,
12:04which has recently matured and was squandered on your uncle's advice in the goldmine debacle.
12:10And the child's father?
12:12I couldn't tell you.
12:15Couldn't or won't?
12:17Kindly make the necessary arrangements.
12:25And while you're at it...
12:26Yes.
12:27Your own affairs.
12:29Get a grip on them, dear.
12:32It'll be the making of you.
12:34Yeah.
12:48So, how many years have you been involved?
12:51How many years have you been involved?
12:53How many years have you been involved?
12:55Mrs. Parker, very much.
12:56I did it...
12:57This is really good.
13:29What a flattering gown, Miss Louisa.
13:38Alas, no.
13:40I was obliged to discontinue our arrangement.
13:43Service was disappointing.
13:45Oh, you surprise me.
13:47I find her excellent.
13:49Although, tediously, she's now moved to the back of beyond.
13:53Can't imagine why.
13:54Perhaps she feared condemnation after her brave confession.
13:58So courageous.
13:59Indeed.
13:59The cause of fallen women, such a complex one.
14:04Is it not?
14:13What is this place?
14:15I believe it's called Robin Hill.
14:16Your experience is limited.
14:24I graduated top of my year.
14:28Youthful enthusiasm is no substitute for skill.
14:31One certainly wouldn't wish to pay a premium for it.
14:34Indeed.
14:35One would expect that any fee, however small, would be gratefully seized upon.
14:40My mom would be mistaken.
14:42I do not underestimate my worth, however others may choose to.
14:54So, an uncritical presumption of need.
14:58A commitment to provide unconditional support so that these women can begin to help themselves.
15:05And yet, might some of these women benefit more from an atonement-based model?
15:17Atonement?
15:18Atonement?
15:18Interesting word.
15:21As you know, our aim is never to judge, but to support.
15:27Whether or not they deserve it.
15:28Well, I know I speak for many when I say that to ignore some of the damage done by these women
15:35to decent, upstanding families is an obstacle to many who might wish to contribute.
15:42Perhaps you should form your own charity,
15:44one that prizes correction and penance above indiscriminate handouts.
15:49Perhaps, I wish you luck.
15:58I sense you have your reasons.
16:02You must do what you think best.
16:19When could you commence?
16:32I'm sorry?
16:33You wish to...
16:34Commission some preliminary drawings,
16:37so that I may assess your suitability.
16:39At once, if you wish.
16:44You will, however, refrain from discussing our arrangement.
16:46With anyone, particularly my wife.
16:51You understand that this is to be a surprise?
16:55Of course.
17:16What is it?
17:22Tell me.
17:24I was ordered not to say.
17:27By who?
17:30Sam's Forsyte.
17:32What on earth could he have to say?
17:33Hey.
18:01Hey.
18:01May I speak with your mama?
18:04Mama went out.
18:06Oh.
18:07Will you come in?
18:08I'll ask Hannah to make some tea.
18:12Yes.
18:13But only for a moment.
18:23You like painting.
18:24I do.
18:25But mama says I must practice more.
18:31Well, these are excellent.
18:34I mean, you really capture the bird's feathers.
18:37Mama said you're good at drawing.
18:39Will you draw us?
18:47I could.
18:50No, no, no, no.
18:51You, you go on painting.
18:59May I?
19:01Yeah.
19:01Yes.
19:15Much better than Joss.
19:18May we keep it?
19:19Mama will love it.
19:21I know something she'd like.
19:23Okay.
19:23Are you not bursting with joy?
19:48Well, I know it's meant to be a secret, but of course you know.
19:52Phil's commission to build a house for you and Soames.
19:55But they agreed yesterday.
19:56Sorry, what?
19:58Did Soames not mention that...
20:00Oh, my God.
20:02I'm so sorry.
20:04Phil said it was a secret, but I never thought from you.
20:07You have to pretend.
20:08When Soames tells you, look surprised or he'll be furious with me.
20:11But isn't it just the best of news?
20:14Because I can get married and you get abused in your house and Phil is such a day.
20:19I know I'm designing your house in your house.
20:20Mrs. Forsyte?
20:38Is your husband...
20:38No.
20:41Are you coming?
20:47Is this about the commission?
20:48No.
20:49Yes.
20:50I hardly know.
20:53Do you have questions?
20:54Many.
20:54About the design?
20:55About the site.
20:57And the purpose?
21:00The site I can answer for.
21:0130 miles from London.
21:02Spectacular views.
21:02No other dwelling for miles around.
21:03As for the purpose...
21:09Is that not obvious?
21:14I shouldn't have come.
21:16I should be congratulating you and June.
21:18Your wedding can be sooner.
21:20Yes.
21:20I'm glad.
21:22It means the world to her.
21:26I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
21:33Mrs. Forsyte?
21:43Mrs. Forsyte?
21:44Forgive me.
21:47I could pretend to misunderstand your distress, but who would that serve?
21:50It was wrong of me to involve you.
21:52But how can I proceed?
21:53Knowing that what I've been commissioned to build will effectively be your prison.
21:57That's not the word I used.
22:01It was implied.
22:03And it's not...
22:08Inaccurate.
22:14Then all that remains is to find a way to make a graceful exit.
22:18What?
22:19What do you mean?
22:19But I can't be the one that will...
22:22Helloat your husband and devastate June.
22:26I must make him withdraw of his own accord.
22:28But...
22:29June will be distraught.
22:30And you?
22:30It's your first commission.
22:31I'm arrogant enough to believe there'll soon be another.
22:42I really don't know what to say.
22:46Say absolutely nothing.
22:47Mama!
23:02We have a surprise for you.
23:13Close your eyes.
23:13Open your eyes.
23:29Do you like it, Mama?
23:30Uh, go and play outside.
23:41Do we have to?
23:42Yes, please.
23:42Yes, please.
23:42Oh, stay.
23:43Bye.
23:46Bye.
23:48Bye.
23:49Bye.
23:58Bye.
24:02Bye.
24:09Bye.
24:09Yes?
24:21I've brought some preliminary designs with costings.
24:25Your efficiency bodes well.
24:35Some mistake, surely?
24:39As in several noughts too many?
24:41To design a property befitting the status and the magnitude of a gentleman such as yourself.
24:46I asked you to build me a house, not the Palace of Westminster.
24:48I cannot in all conscience reduce the scale, and thus the cost, by a single penny.
24:52Then you have done yourself out of a commission, sir.
24:54Mr Bassini.
24:55Was just leaving.
24:56Good day to you both.
25:02Why was he here?
25:03I had thoughts of commissioning a house.
25:05We have a house.
25:06Of our own, away from these prying, gossiping...
25:10Who do you mean?
25:11Your family has been nothing but kind.
25:12My thought was to remove ourselves from the city altogether.
25:15To the countryside where we might have room to breathe.
25:20And Mr Bassini has been unable to deliver that vision?
25:22Unfortunately, yes.
25:23The arrogant young pup has just priced himself out of the market.
25:37To see if you've come to your senses.
25:54You asked to see me?
25:55Ah, yes.
26:00To see if you've come to your senses.
26:04Or are you still minded to favour your mistress over your wife?
26:08She's not my mistress.
26:10People make assumptions.
26:11No one knows of our previous attachment, and now that our connection is platonic.
26:15Despite the fact that you left our home.
26:17You know why I left our home?
26:22Because I couldn't agree to cease contact with my children.
26:29Well, as to that...
26:32I might be willing to reconsider.
26:54Reconsider how?
26:55I give a little.
27:02You give a little.
27:04We both want the same thing.
27:06You.
27:09Home.
27:12In time for the gala.
27:25Harry Falkenor.
27:27Yes?
27:28Writing to thank us for reimbursing his losses.
27:31What?
27:33Did you have something to do with this?
27:35Hardly.
27:35Did you?
27:36Absolutely not.
27:39Then who?
27:39Then why?
27:43Quite a mystery.
27:46Yes.
27:55I was thinking about that day we met.
28:22Seems an age ago.
28:25And still we...
28:27Barely know each other.
28:29I disagree.
28:35Perhaps it's that we just want such different things.
28:40Is this about Paris?
28:41Paris is when I first realized.
28:43What?
28:44How...
28:47Unalike we are.
28:55I look forward to seeing what you've chosen for the gala.
29:09It's important to make an impact.
29:10You should wear your new necklace.
29:28Slightly alarming.
29:29Talk of Joe returning home.
29:32If we can't play the tarnishing the company reputation card...
29:35Thought I should mention planning to make a splash at the grand event.
29:39So if you'd like me to give the address.
29:41Next generation rising like salmon to scale the rapids of opportunity.
29:46Yes, thank you.
29:47I'll bear that in mind.
29:47What's this I hear?
29:49You treating us to your vision for the future at our gala.
29:53I can hardly wait.
29:54Care to give us a taster?
29:55Not especially.
29:57Not especially.
29:57Well, let me guess.
29:59Profit is the devil.
30:00Caution is king.
30:02And if our clients lose money, it's up to us to bail them out.
30:04If it's due to us giving poor advice, then yes.
30:07Nothing to do with their own greed.
30:08Or willful ignorance.
30:09Everything to do with our obligation to urge them not to put their eggs in one basket.
30:12No matter how guaranteed the returns or by how much commission we stand to make.
30:17And to say otherwise is just...
30:19Yes?
30:20What is it?
30:23Morally bankrupt.
30:23That's priceless.
30:28Our would-be chair, the most degenerate member of the firm,
30:31presumes to preach morality to the rest of us.
30:34To the man who knowingly capsized the Durham Mining Company,
30:37thereby ruining their investors, including his own future father-in-law,
30:41making his wife-to-be destitute.
30:46She doesn't know, does she?
30:47And this from the man who's conveniently jilted his wife,
30:54so he can debauch his mistress and fawn over his brats!
30:58Is this the type of leadership you're after?
31:08Is this the type of leadership you're after?
31:11Let's go.
31:41Let's go.
32:11Let's go.
32:41Let's go.
32:43Let's go.
32:45Let's go.
32:47Let's go.
32:49Let's go.
32:51Let's go.
32:53Let's go.
32:55Let's go.
32:57Let's go.
32:59Let's go.
33:01Let's go.
33:03Let's go.
33:05Let's go.
33:07Let's go.
33:15Let's go.
33:17Let's go.
33:19Let's go.
33:21Let's go.
33:23Let's go.
33:25Let's go.
33:27Let's go.
33:29Let's go.
33:31Let's go.
33:33Let's go.
33:37Let's go.
33:39Let's go.
33:41Let's go.
33:43Let's go.
33:44Let's go.
33:45Let's go.
33:47Let's go.
33:49Let's go.
33:51Let's go.
33:53Let's go.
33:55Let's go.
33:57Let's go.
33:59Let's go.
34:01Let's go.
34:03Get here.
34:05Ms.
34:27Let's go.
34:29you will build me a house at Robin Hill.
34:55I knew you'd come.
34:57Well, your father was right.
34:59We shouldn't have doubted you.
35:01And I've been at fault,
35:04issuing ultimatums,
35:05forcing you to make a choice
35:06when you'd have come to your senses of your own accord.
35:08Francis.
35:09We can salvage this.
35:10Our marriage.
35:12Your ascension.
35:13This is our moment.
35:15Francis, I'm sorry.
35:21For everything you worked for,
35:22everything you've done,
35:25you deserve a better return.
35:27I do.
35:32I cannot give it.
35:36Yesterday, it struck me.
35:40Battling with psalms,
35:41fighting to impose my will on the company.
35:43My heart's not in it.
35:47Never was.
35:48I don't understand.
35:52What are you saying?
35:58Then I'll never cease to love you.
36:02Respect, admire.
36:03Provide for you.
36:07I'll never return to the phone.
36:08All this house.
36:13I'll never return to the phone.
36:14I'll never return to the phone.
36:15I'll never return to the phone.
36:16I'll never return to the phone.
36:16I'll never return to the phone.
36:17I'll never return to the phone.
36:17I'll never return to the phone.
36:18I'll never return to the phone.
36:18I'll never return to the phone.
36:19I'll never return to the phone.
36:19I'll never return to the phone.
36:20I'll never return to the phone.
36:20I'll never return to the phone.
36:21I'll never return to the phone.
36:21I'll never return to the phone.
36:22I'll never return to the phone.
36:22I'll never return to the phone.
36:23I'll never return to the phone.
36:23I'll never return to the phone.
36:24I'll never return to the phone.
36:25I'll never return to the phone.
36:25I'll never return to the phone.
36:26I'm sorry.
36:51I tried.
36:56You're very kind.
37:01Not kind.
37:05It's just the thought of you being with.
37:14I won't give up.
37:17I swear it.
37:20I can't.
37:26There will be no divorce.
37:31Your children will not be legitimized.
37:41You will suffer rejection from the family.
37:46The firm.
37:50The firm.
37:57From all of London.
37:59I accept that.
38:09I accept that.
38:23I thought I'd molded you into something resembling a rational being.
38:28I was mistaken.
38:33So go.
38:36You were once interesting to me.
38:42Now you bore me.
38:44Goodbye, Francis.
38:54Bye.
38:55Bye.
39:04Bye.
39:07Bye.
39:09Bye.
39:13Bye.
39:17Bye.
39:21Where is he? Is he coming?
39:44I've been looking all over for the man of the hour.
39:46Where is dear Jolyon?
39:47I'm afraid he's just been called away.
39:51Oh, it's such an auspicious day.
39:54How disappointing for you all.
39:57A small inconvenience.
39:59I trust we're more than capable of enjoying the festivities in his absence.
40:03Mr. Cole, I wonder if I might call upon you to transact some business for me?
40:09Yes, of course.
40:10My late father left a property in Camden which has lain empty for many years.
40:15I propose to donate it to the charity.
40:17Well, that's most generous.
40:20For conversion into suitable accommodation for needy women.
40:25Of course, I'm no expert, but perhaps you could advise me in matters legal and beyond.
40:30It'll be a pleasure.
40:32Impressive performance.
40:33Isn't that how the higher species evolve?
40:37By their ability to adapt.
40:41I suspect you and I will work very well together.
40:45So, Jo's bolted.
40:57Shall I step in, say a few words, hand over to Soames and passing the torch, all that?
41:03I think on balance.
41:06No.
41:07No?
41:09I prefer to do the honours myself.
41:11Pray silence for her illustrious highness, Mrs. Anne Euphemia Isadora Forsythe.
41:33Dear friends, no doubt you are expecting an address from one of the male members of this firm.
41:49Instead, you have me.
41:53Perfectly placed to judge the merits and the demerits of this formidable clan.
41:58Then, since my arrival, there have been many newcomers to the Forsythe ranks.
42:04All of you will have wondered what you were letting yourself in for before becoming Forsythe's in your own right.
42:14So, what defines this family?
42:19What is a Forsythe?
42:21A Forsythe is someone who knows the value of loyalty and family and repute.
42:36We are tenacious.
42:38We are survivors.
42:41And we should never, ever be underestimated.
42:51Only a fool would underestimate you.
43:12Or you, my love.
43:21Seems a shame to let a prime seat go to me.
43:28Oh, Monty, you wouldn't dare.
43:29Well, I think I know my own worth, ready?
43:31Wiggins, move the chair.
43:32This should have been his moment.
43:52You mean your moment.
43:56Eyes on the camera, please.
43:58Holding it still now.
44:02Wait.
44:11Wait.
44:12Right.
44:20Mama.
44:21Harry Falconer.
44:25Yes?
44:26It was you who paid him off.
44:30Why would you do that?
44:31My dear boy, let's enjoy the day.
44:37We can speak of these things some other time.
44:39But, Mama, who is he?
44:48He's my grandson.
44:49Thanks.
45:02Do you remember the day you proposed?
45:27Vividly.
45:28You said to me, if we were unable to make a success of our marriage, then you would release me.
45:41I cannot imagine seeing any such thing.
45:58I came to finish the painting.
46:27There is no urgency.
46:30I believe there is.
46:32I wish to resume my work as an artist.
46:35An ambition I gave up ten years ago.
46:38As incompatible with the aims of my father and my wife.
46:42Well, don't mistake me.
46:45I've been blessed.
46:46I've had wealth, status.
46:48A beautiful wife, an adorable stepdaughter.
46:50And I could have gone on living a comfortable, privileged half-life if you hadn't walked into that room on Jane's 18th birthday.
47:00And now?
47:04It's done.
47:07I've resigned from the firm, from my family, from my marriage.
47:12You can't.
47:13What are you thinking?
47:15I'm thinking I can no longer lie to her.
47:17I want to myself.
47:18What are you?
47:23I want to paint.
47:26I want to be a father to our children.
47:29I want to live with you.
47:32We'll be outcasts.
47:34We'll be poor.
47:34I can't give you my name.
47:40But I can give you my love.
47:43If you'll have me.
47:57Do you even need to ask?
48:04Do you even need to ask me to ask me to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask you to ask me to ask me to ask you to ask me to
