00:00How to define her foresight?
00:10By the secrets we keep, shall you know us?
00:14By the little lies we tell?
00:20By the choices we make, which echo down the generations?
00:26Choices which will come back to haunt us?
00:30Until one of us decides to change the story.
00:42Believe me, this will pass.
00:44And we'll come through it stronger and more devoted than ever.
00:48I believe you.
01:00My concern is this.
01:02Now he knows about the children.
01:05Will he be able to forget them again?
01:11Chas.
01:11You need fresh air.
01:22Wish I could take you to the seaside.
01:25I know where I like to go.
01:28To a magic place where all the streets are made of water.
01:33Where the poor servant girl met the prince.
01:36So, at the next board meeting, I propose to introduce the subject of my nephew's unfitness to be chair.
01:56Not just in temperament, but in behaviour.
02:02As in?
02:03Any action that might bring the firm into disrepute.
02:06This being the case, not only can he be said not to be chair material,
02:11he should be expelled from the company altogether.
02:16You're not the first to sow wild oats in your youth.
02:25But there's no need to pay for those mistakes with your career.
02:28They're not mistakes, Dad.
02:31They're my actual flesh and blood.
02:32And that's important.
02:34An heir is important.
02:37Something you currently lack.
02:39But for the present, when your succession is about to be challenged...
02:43Oh, I am well aware of James' manoeuvrings.
02:47It is imperative that we keep this matter a secret.
02:54Your father and I have been wondering,
02:56is there a case for offering some inducement?
03:00Inducement?
03:01For the young lady in question.
03:03To ensure her silence.
03:05Her silence is not in doubt.
03:06But, if she could be persuaded to leave London...
03:09What?
03:10Set up home and business elsewhere...
03:12Suitably funded, of course.
03:13So she's expected to uproot her life and that of her children, for my convenience.
03:17When she's made it abundantly clear she wants no further contact.
03:20And you trust her?
03:21Completely.
03:25You are not proposing some kind of public statement?
03:28About the children?
03:28Well, how would that benefit any of us?
03:32No, I intend to honor her wishes.
03:34Whilst deciding how to discharge my financial obligation to her.
03:37Which would be my...
03:39Decision.
03:41No one else's.
03:42Are we sure he's the father?
03:49And why else would he be at her shop?
03:52And there was that business in Italy with the ladies' maid.
03:55And there we have it.
03:58The thing to tip the scales against him.
04:01But let's keep this to ourselves for now.
04:02Do I think I'd be the better chair?
04:08Of course.
04:09Do I need to stoop to scheming to achieve it?
04:13You can leave all that to me.
04:14I've got another note from Mr. Foresight.
04:32I've got another note.
05:02So, if you loved her, why did you marry my mom?
05:26Because your mother is an incredible woman.
05:35Cultured, caring, kind.
05:37And I valued that.
05:39And those early days after Venice, I was sometimes a little lost.
05:48And had you known about her situation,
05:53what would you have done?
05:56I can't answer that.
06:04You just did.
06:07June, wait.
06:08Give her time.
06:29I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.
06:36But I am here.
06:39And I have no plans to be elsewhere.
06:47Then all shall be well.
06:48You came.
07:12Did you doubt it?
07:13Forgive me.
07:21Yesterday, I was overwhelmed.
07:24I failed to observe the proper formalities.
07:27Allow me to make amends.
07:33Miss Heron, you have made me the happiest of men.
07:35Would you do me the honor of wearing this ring?
07:50You dislike it?
07:51No, no.
07:52How could I?
07:52It's just...
07:53I mean, is this happening to me?
07:58There must be so many more suitable women of your own station.
08:01Very many.
08:03Eminently suitable.
08:05All art and polish and impeccable breeding.
08:12Whereas you are all nature.
08:18And to me, that is perfection.
08:20May I now have the honor
08:35of introducing you to my family.
08:40My love.
08:43Yes.
08:43Yes.
08:44Yes.
08:50Yes.
09:15Yes.
09:15Yes.
09:16No.
09:16Yes.
09:16Mama was always fond of that one.
09:24She was a fine woman.
09:25Not a first love, but...
09:28a lasting one.
09:36So, it's a full turnout tomorrow?
09:38What's this?
09:40Epson races. Monty's horse is running.
09:42What could possibly go wrong?
09:43What shall I wear?
09:46I need to cut quite the dash
09:48when I strut into the ring with Lady Peaches.
09:50Isn't that the groom's job?
09:52When one's nurtured a nag as I have,
09:54one feels a bond, a connection.
09:56You don't think of Mountingoe yourself, then?
09:58Do you know the thought had occurred?
10:00But the 2.30 Debson, is that the place to make one's debut?
10:02I thought I'd wear my peach hat
10:04in homage to Monty's horse.
10:06But if it doesn't win...
10:08Well, I believe by the end of tomorrow,
10:09we'll have something to celebrate.
10:11To that end, I'll be bringing a guest.
10:13Anyone we know.
10:14Wouldn't wish to spoil the surprise.
10:16Well, hardly a surprise.
10:18McGinney or Miss Carteret?
10:20If you've a guinea to waste.
10:26It's always a blow to realise
10:28that someone you love is not perfect.
10:30Of course you want him to be.
10:37But...
10:38He's fallen short.
10:40And I can't forgive him.
10:42Parents disappoint their children.
10:44Children disappoint their parents.
10:47Mine have a talent for it.
10:49Even now, I suspect that your Uncle James
10:54is harnessing your father's imperfections
10:57to use against him.
10:59And you may say quite right.
11:01Whereas I would say,
11:04let he who is without sin
11:05cast the first stone.
11:10Chin up, my dear.
11:12Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.
11:15Yes, peaches!
11:24Come on, peaches!
11:25I told you!
11:26Go on, peaches!
11:28Come on, lady, peaches!
11:30Come on, lady, peaches!
11:31Yes, lady, beaches!
11:32Stay on!
11:35Say die!
11:35Yes!
11:36Yes!
11:36Yes!
11:39Go!
11:39No, no, no!
11:40Go!
11:40Go!
11:41Go!
11:41Go!
11:42Go!
11:42Don't teach it!
12:05No!
12:06No!
12:07Oh, it was so close.
12:08So close.
12:09It was so close.
12:11You donkey!
12:16Damn it!
12:17I've been sold a pup,
12:19a turkey,
12:20a clunker,
12:21a veritable dud.
12:22But she did so well, Monty.
12:24She almost won.
12:29They need to fix that.
12:33How's Alicia?
12:34If we value your life,
12:36never ask if she's feeling tired
12:37or would like a chair.
12:39Oh, no, she already made that clear.
12:41I'm with child, Joe.
12:42I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
12:48How are things with Francis?
12:50Just saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.
12:53Neither of us reckoned with.
12:56And the implications are frankly severe.
12:58So, does Soames propose to join us or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?
13:13Oh, Miss Carteret.
13:15I would have been proud to think we'd achieve nobility in three generations.
13:18Just to alert you,
13:18I haven't purchased any of our plans with the family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.
13:31Of course.
13:33Oh.
13:37Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron,
13:39my family.
13:42How do you do?
13:43Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.
13:48Oh, not at all.
13:49I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.
13:53Hmm.
13:54And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance,
13:58as Miss Heron has done me the honour of agreeing to be my wife.
14:02Uh-oh.
14:13Congratulations.
14:17Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence,
14:20after which we depart for Europe.
14:22On your honeymoon?
14:23How thrilling.
14:24Where will you go?
14:25Tradition dictates that must remain a secret.
14:29Heron, you say?
14:32Do we know that name?
14:35Who are your people, my dear?
14:37No one of consequence.
14:39My father was a professor, and my mother...
14:40Oh, could we please not subject Miss Heron to the Spanish Inquisition?
14:43No, no, no, indeed.
14:45That function belongs to me.
14:49The customary formalities?
14:52Yes, of course.
15:00Shall we?
15:02I thought it best to get the ordeal out of the way as soon as possible.
15:12As to the wedding itself, you must save a fortnight from now is too soon.
15:15A fortnight?
15:18Surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
15:20Well, well...
15:22Well, well...
15:32Your mother is seriously displeased.
15:46Why wasn't she consulted?
15:50And the haste?
15:52How long have you known this girl?
15:54Long enough.
15:55She seems rather lovely.
15:57Oh, Emily!
15:59She is.
16:00You'll like her.
16:02You must be fearfully in love.
16:04In love?
16:05The deuce does that mean?
16:07It means everything, trust me.
16:08This is not the match we were expecting.
16:14No, I see that.
16:15And to take the plunge now, when Joe's dug himself a hole, we've had a clear shot at the
16:20chairmanship and you're about to go gallivanting off around the continent?
16:24Perhaps we should just leave Joe to it.
16:26Oh!
16:27Are you serious?
16:28The insanity of it.
16:42I think I rather envy him.
16:45How?
16:47Daring to follow his heart.
16:50Did you?
16:52Did I?
16:54For God's sake, Emily.
16:55What sort of a question is that?
17:03Come along, Pudding.
17:05Shall we retire?
17:06Oh.
17:14Well, that was sheer purgatory.
17:20Absolute hell.
17:21Grinning like fools as if our whole lives were not on the rack.
17:32I know what makes us even worse.
17:35We always wanted children of our own.
17:42Yes.
17:47Somehow that never happened.
17:48How to know that you have children with another.
18:00The last thing I ever wanted was to cause you pain.
18:10We must protect June as much as we can from all this.
18:13Soon as it is.
18:43You're not wearing that, are you?
18:48I mean, the Foresight ladies will never approve.
18:51Is it not sufficiently modish?
18:53My concern is that you don't embarrass yourself.
18:57You're stepping so far outside your milieu.
19:00Thank you for your concern, but I can only start as I mean to go on.
19:05By doing what feels right.
19:10For me.
19:13So, I was thinking crimson, or burgundy.
19:24My husband says don't be extravagant, which is rich coming from him,
19:27when he outspends his allowance every month and then blames me because he has no profession.
19:31It's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company.
19:34It's not as if I haven't hinted at it countless times.
19:36They just keep saying we have a reputation to uphold at Foresight & Co.
19:41Foresight?
19:41But your name's...
19:43Darty, yes.
19:44By marriage.
19:45Foresight by birth.
19:47You know my cousin-in-law, Mrs. Francis Foresight?
19:51Yes.
19:51Yes.
19:52I should perhaps warn you, I'm snowed under with orders.
19:58It could be months before your gown is ready, in which case I'd quite understand if you wish
20:02to go elsewhere.
20:05Elsewhere?
20:06I should think not.
20:08And her tone, almost as if she was wishing me gone.
20:11And why would that be?
20:13Thank your cousin, Joe.
20:15What?
20:17And his not-so-guilded youthful escapades.
20:26I congratulate you, cousin.
20:28Miss Heron seems an excellent choice.
20:33Perhaps one's reached an age where one is free to make a choice,
20:36without succumbing to family pressures.
20:39One lives in hope.
20:47Joe!
20:48Fathered the dressmaker's children!
20:51Well, well, well.
20:54The dirty dog.
20:55How appalling!
20:57But it does play into our hands.
20:59How so?
21:00You wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock?
21:03For our purposes, it serves us to portray him as a libertine.
21:06The callous seducer, the neglectful father.
21:09I mean, any of these could be said to jeopardise the reputation of the firm.
21:12But it happened before he and Francis met.
21:14Some might call it a youthful indiscretion.
21:17Well, they'd be wrong.
21:18Such behaviour is...
21:19Yes, Monty?
21:20What is it?
21:25I might be looking at my club.
21:27Does he perform any useful function?
21:35He could, given a chance.
21:37If this is yet another bid to give him a role...
21:39Not a role.
21:40A seat on the board.
21:43You are joking.
21:44The board meets tomorrow, yes.
21:46And your plan is to expel Joe from the company.
21:49Do you have a majority?
21:51Are you sure you couldn't use an extra vote?
21:54Well...
21:55Monty's your man.
21:56He's entirely without scruples.
21:58He'll vote whichever way you tell him to.
22:06Excuse me.
22:07Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and welcome...
22:10Esteemed lecturer and philanthropist, Mrs Ellen Parker Barrington.
22:15You believe you have no voice.
22:18I believe the same.
22:21I've been confused, ignored,
22:24disrespected in my time.
22:28Oh, but trust me, I'm under no illusion.
22:31It is my wealth.
22:33My standing, which now confers power,
22:36commands respect,
22:37demands attention.
22:39My late husband owned woolen mills in the north.
22:44Once viewed his workers as commodities.
22:48Expendable.
22:49But he was brought to see them as precious human souls worthy of respect, of dignity, of proper recompense.
23:02So, change is possible, and I owe those who have not been as fortunate as I, to challenge ignorance and injustice, wherever I see it.
23:20I invite you to do the same.
23:26APPLAUSE
23:27Mr Renegade.
23:45Mr Buccaneer.
23:46What brings you here?
23:48I'm the same as you.
23:49A wish for rational argument.
23:50A disgust for inequality.

24:42culver street hardly an illustrious address and it's a garret oh i adore garrets

26:58yes
27:00i'm afraid
27:02there have been alarming rumors implicating one of our own which
27:06should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients could lead them to take their business
27:10elsewhere
27:11what rumors are these
27:13concerning a senior partner
27:15debauching a serving man
27:16that is not what happened
27:17that is not who she was and those are not the circumstances
27:19and for those of you as yet
27:21in the dark
27:23my nephew
27:25i had a relationship prior to my marriage with a young woman i met in bennis

27:33when we parted she was with child
27:35twins to be precise
27:37now ten years of age living with their mother in london
27:39and distasteful
27:41as some of you doubtless may find it
27:43distasteful
27:45try scandalous
27:47inexcusable
27:48what we can't ignore is that many of our clients will find such a liaison distasteful
27:53but of course they will
27:55because such things have never happened in respectable families
27:59good lord

33:51even a stepfather with feet of clay
33:55he's utterly betrayed me
33:59I can see it must seem that way
34:02if you'd seen him
34:04with them
34:05smiling adoringly
34:09as if I didn't even exist
34:12you exist to me
34:14miss renegade
34:15I do
34:17I see you
34:19clear as day
34:21I should go
34:27I really shouldn't be here at all
34:30I'm glad you were
34:31good
34:33in some sense
34:37you
34:40what
34:41I see you
34:43you
34:44alright
34:47I see you
34:48and I've bowed
34:52I ي efectivated
34:52you
34:53I see you
34:55and I've been
34:56I've brought Miss Heron to see you.
35:21I congratulate you.
35:24Thank you, Grandmama.
35:26For catching them all unawares.
35:30But not you.
35:32The Carteret girl was too obvious.
35:35Not your type at all.
35:39Bring her to me.
35:41I just spoke to your father.
35:58Don't you want to know how it went?
36:01The vote?
36:01I can guess.
36:08In your favour.
36:10How?
36:12You're not to be expelled, so the chairmanship can now be yours.
36:15You must see what this now affords us.
36:24A golden opportunity.
36:28For you to recommit.
36:31To your family.
36:33The firm.
36:35Our life together.
36:46How do you see that?
36:47My commitment to you and June is absolute.
36:59So, tell me, my dear.
37:01Are you prepared?
37:06For what?
37:07The Forsyte family.
37:09Are you aware of its peculiarities?
37:12Everyone has been welcoming.
37:15And Soames?
37:16What do you know of him?
37:19What can you tell me?
37:24Soames has never loved before.
37:26That he does so now is significant.
37:29You will want for nothing.
37:31You'll be mistress of all you survey.
37:34My wants are modest.
37:36And what are those wants?
37:37To love and be loved.
37:41To trust and be trusted.
37:43To dance.
37:46And it will be a dance.
37:49Whether the pavan or a tarantella.
37:52Or a padida.
37:56And you?
37:59Are you in love?
38:01Oh.
38:03I have tremors.
38:06Tremors.
38:07My pulse races and I feel faint.
38:10Some poets call that love.
38:12What would you call it?
38:15A prelude.
38:17To something deeper.
38:23I hope you find it.
38:33I trust she wasn't too fierce.
38:36She was kind.
38:39You didn't mention Paris.
38:41Should I have done?
38:43Time enough to address that when we're there together.
38:46Planning our future.
38:51To our wedding day.
38:52So, do we think this wedding is a love match?
39:10How can anyone not marry for love?
39:14Because love is only part of what makes a marriage.
39:17A marriage.
39:19Respect.
39:21Patience.
39:23Belief.
39:25These also matter.
39:27And that's what you had with Papa.
39:32Have.
39:35Still.
39:35This could have been the event of the season
39:53Rather than some low-key hole-in-the-corner travesty
39:57I just wish it hadn't come so soon
40:00Soon, Emily?
40:02You've had him at home his entire life
40:04It's just the thought of losing him to someone we don't really know
40:18Who might wish to keep him all to herself
40:21Yes, well, that's the least of it
40:23Instead of idling around Europe
40:26He could be here planning our next strategy
40:29Do you like it, Lamar?
40:34Monty assures me it costs the earth
40:36Nothing's too good for my Freddy
40:37A man of business can afford such trifles
40:40Lord help us
40:44Heaven's sake, Irene, the carriage will be here any minute
40:56I hope I'm as blessed as they were
41:00Can you ever doubt it?
41:02In the resources at Mr Forsyte's disposal
41:05His willingness to uproot his entire existence for your sake
41:09I meant as
41:09Was a love match
41:12And yours is?
41:19I don't yet know what to call it
41:21He told me
41:24It would be all
41:26That I dreamt of
41:27And more
41:28Then I suggest you count your blessings
41:30And get dressed
41:31Love the
41:37Also I know
41:38That I promise
41:38I remember
41:39He was an old friend
41:40I noticed
41:41But I see
41:41Bye
41:42Bye
41:43Bye
41:44Bye
41:45Bye
41:45Bye
41:46Bye
41:46Bye
41:47Bye

41:52Bye
41:53Bye
41:58Bye
41:58Bye
41:59Bye
42:30Perhaps she's had a change of heart.
42:40If she has any sins.
42:42Mama, where is she?
42:44I, I didn't know.
43:00Mama, where is she?
43:30I, I didn't know.
44:00Mama, where is she?
44:15You've taught me a valuable lesson.
44:18Which is?
44:20To trust no one but myself.
44:23To think for myself.
44:26To do only what my heart tells me.
44:28What does it tell you?
44:34That true love is what matters.
44:37A meeting of minds.
44:39A conjunction of souls.
44:42That is what matters.
44:44Good.
44:45We agree.
44:49Good.
45:19Good.
45:21You see, it wasn't that hard.
45:51Deciding to move on from them.
45:59That wasn't what I said.
46:05It was implied.
46:06I said my commitment to you is beyond doubt, but to suggest that I've moved on from them
46:12would be to deny that any of it mattered.
46:15Well, of course, I accept that you were once fond of her.
46:19I wasn't fond, Frances.
46:23My children were conceived of love.
46:26Then let us be clear.
46:41That love, as you call it, has no place in this house.
46:45So kill it, once and for all.
46:50We'll face the consequences.
47:11For what?
47:13Showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed till I met you.
47:25It was the first time.
47:30I have no passion.
47:32To me is to say that I'll be clear.
47:34Please come to me.
47:36To me is to say that I will be clear.
47:37I love in my heart.
47:38To me is to say that I'm not afraid in my heart.
47:39I love the Lord.
