00:10You
00:40Deep.
01:09Welcome to Marenzi, Mr. Russell.
01:12I hope you're ready for all of this.
01:15Have you brought your riding clothes?
01:17Of course.
01:18I'm looking forward to seeing you on a fucking Bronco.
01:44All right, all right.
01:47Back to work, back to work.
01:49Mr. Judge?
01:52Yes?
01:53Has there ever been snow this close to spring?
01:57I agree.
01:58I was expecting cherry blossom, not this.
02:00What's all the activity?
02:01The mistress has planned a temperance meeting,
02:04but I can't imagine there will be many guests in this weather.
02:06Mrs. Van Rijn is a temperance activist?
02:10Not quite. I was referring to Mrs. Forte.
02:12But you said mistress.
02:14Yes. We've had some changes.
02:22Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. I should have lit the fire earlier.
02:26Well, it's supposed to be the start of spring.
02:29It won't last long.
02:30Well, you're all dressed up.
02:32Our temperance meeting is today.
02:34Must we keep allowing the frozen tundra wind into my home,
02:38if I can still call it that?
02:40We need to set up.
02:41You can't mean to sponsor this absurd meeting now.
02:45It's nearly a blizzard.
02:47Surely your merry band of teetotlers will stay home.
02:51I doubt it. Temperance is a cause to which we are all committed.
02:55To which we are all committed now.
02:57But weren't you committed to the Charity Organization Society?
03:01Well, yes, I was.
03:02Before that, hadn't someone cornered you about the Settlement House movement?
03:06That's true.
03:07But I've been convinced that temperance can bring unique improvements to our society.
03:13So make a donation from your newfound fortune and cancel this gathering.
03:17They will understand.
03:18I am making a donation in addition to holding the meeting here.
03:23Alcohol is the scourge of many families.
03:26And I want to support causes that are close to my heart as a way to honor Luke's memory.
03:31You think invoking your late husband's name will silence me? It won't.
03:36Luke drank wine, and he served it to thousands at communion, just like Jesus.
03:41Find a cause he would have cared about.
03:43The point is, Luke's ministry was important to him,
03:48and I want to continue his legacy by doing works that are important to me.
03:53And if it displeases you, Agnes, then...
03:55Then what?
03:57Then too bad.
03:59I've tried mourning in silence, and it nearly killed me.
04:04There were nights I went to bed and prayed not to wake up.
04:11This gives me a purpose, and I believe it would make Luke proud.
04:17Had he cared about money, we'd have lived a very different life.
04:20But he cared about people, and I will too.
04:36I wish you wouldn't do this.
04:38Are the trains across the bridge even running?
04:40There are no cabs.
04:41I must get back to 61st Street.
04:43I've promised Mrs. Forte I'd help her with the temperance meeting.
04:45Your mother shouldn't have kept you last night.
04:48You'd already be there, safe and dry, if she had.
04:51They'll catch a death walking to the station.
04:53You don't think that's a little pessimistic?
04:54I'm going with her, Dorothy.
04:58Well done on the news.
05:01I knew it was big when I saw the envelope.
05:02Have you told Mrs. Van Rye?
05:03How?
05:04When I only opened it last night.
05:07Oh, fine.
05:09Be safe.
05:12I want fires in every room down here, and in all the passengers.
05:15They are not to be allowed to go out.
05:16Very good, ma'am.
05:17Mr. Sergeant comes at three for the city.
05:19It is your responsibility to make sure he gets here.
05:21Send the carriage, send the sleigh, send the 7th Regiment if you have to,
05:24but make sure he's here by three.
05:25Yes, ma'am.
05:26I think you'll find he has everything he needs.
05:28Good.
05:29It must be finished by the time his grace arrives.
05:31But don't mention that to Miss Gladys or Mr. Larry, or anyone in the household.
05:35I understand that.
05:38Larry and I are going for a walk, Assistant.
05:40Why?
05:40Where is Larry?
05:41Here I am.
05:43I said we want to see the snow.
05:45If you must go, be careful.
05:46Nothing can go wrong, not now.
05:48What's so special about now?
05:50Nothing.
05:53And don't be late for luncheon.
05:54Your sitting is at three.
06:13He's down there.
06:31Gladys.
06:32Billy.
06:34I'm surprised she let you come.
06:36Only just.
06:37She was frightened by the snow.
06:39These days she seems nervous if I leave the house.
06:41I suppose she doesn't want anything to interfere with her plans.
06:43My chief ambition in life is to interfere with your mother's plans.
06:48Will I see you tonight?
06:49Did Mrs. Fish give you the message?
06:51She did, and I'll try to be there.
06:55Wouldn't it be simpler if I speak to your father as soon as he's back?
06:59As long as you're sure.
07:01Of course.
07:04I can't wait for you to be my wife.
07:08But are you sure?
07:11I love you.
07:12And that makes me sure.
07:16Texas, New Mexico, Arizona.
07:18He's not expected back for weeks.
07:20What's he doing out there?
07:21He's set on a major expansion of his railroads.
07:24All the way to California, maybe even Mexico.
07:26I can't quite imagine Mr. Russell in the Wild West.
07:29I don't know.
07:30He's a pretty sharp shooter when he wants to be.
07:32He's out in the desert, and here we are in what feels like a North Pole.
07:35Will I see you at the opera tonight?
07:37It's too soon for us to be seen together in public.
07:40It's been months.
07:42Yes.
07:43Because it's only months since I broke off my engagement to Dashiell.
07:48I've failed at it twice.
07:50Well, this time you'll succeed.
07:51I envy your certainty.
07:53I wish you shared it.
07:54I want to.
07:57I just can't handle scrutiny quite yet.
08:00You must understand, with all the rumors surrounding Gladys' engagement to the Duke...
08:04It's my mother's wish, but it's not what Gladys wants.
08:08We'll see, and until we do, we'll face whatever comes together.
08:11But please, don't make me wait too long.
08:17I wish I could kiss you right now.
08:20Restrain yourself, Mr. Russell.
08:22All in good time.
08:26Will that make Mrs. Russell happy?
08:29No.
08:29My father won't mind.
08:31I better go see what Gladys has promised him now.
08:35Yes, Brooke?
08:43Gladys!
08:49Where are you?
08:54Where is this man?
08:55Is he late, or are we early?
08:57And why is he so important?
08:58John Ranger's our middle man.
09:00If I'd have been too soon, he'll arrange for us to meet the miners.
09:03I want this done.
09:05And done quickly.
09:06I'm still not convinced it's worth a risk.
09:08You can make money without much trouble.
09:09Why not just allow yourself to do that and live well?
09:12You're not seeing the big picture.
09:13Fast freight is the future.
09:14And our route, with one line from New York to Chicago, and the southern route from Chicago
09:18to Los Angeles, will be the fastest way to get across the country.
09:21When it's running, we can charge a huge premium.
09:23And with the grants and subsidies on offer, we can offset more than half the cost to build it.
09:27Maybe, but you'll have to risk an enormous amount of cash before you get to that point,
09:30if you ever get to that point.
09:32I'd rather have palaces in New York and Newport and live without J. Gould breathing down my neck.
09:36He'd be breathing down my neck anyway.
09:38What about the copper?
09:39Forget the copper.
09:40You've read the metallurgist's report.
09:42We need the land for the railway.
09:44Why not just go around the mines?
09:45We'd have to build hundreds of miles of track through the mountains.
09:49We may do something with the mines at some point.
09:52Right now, just get me the land.
09:54The owners have been scrabbling for a living for as long as they can remember, so it shouldn't take much.
09:59Let them rent back the mines if they want.
10:01But make sure we own them first.
10:03Mr. Russell.
10:05Ranger.
10:06So glad you could join us.
10:07The cabled you were coming today.
10:09How's New Mexico?
10:10Good.
10:11Please.
10:14So, tell me.
10:16Will they sell?
10:18And who should we approach first?
10:20It's more complicated.
10:22The local mine owners, and most of them, want to see you together.
10:26I set up a meeting for Friday evening.
10:29I don't want to meet a bunch of stupid clodhoppers all at once.
10:32I prefer to pick them off one by one.
10:35They may be clodhoppers, but they're not stupid.
10:38They know their copper mines will be the biggest thing in the state if you're involved.
10:44But don't give them any leverage.
10:46The land matters.
10:47The mines don't.
10:49You know.
10:50You were so scary.
10:51I was not.
10:52I was not.
10:53Did you have a good time?
10:54Oh, yes.
10:56Though it seems so late for snow when spring's almost upon us.
10:59But you had a nice walk.
11:00More of a slide than a walk.
11:01But we did.
11:03I feel quite invigorated.
11:05I shall take that as a compliment, seeing as I pushed you into it.
11:08Mr. Sergeant is here.
11:10She'll ring for tea in an hour or so.
11:12And I think you should have a look at this.
11:17Someone must be looking for me.
11:19He asked me to confirm that you worked here.
11:22I suppose it's bad news.
11:23Why do you say that?
11:25This kind of a thing usually is.
11:31Oh.
11:32What are you bringing those back down for?
11:34Put them on the credenta for Mrs. Forte's temperance meeting.
11:38I did.
11:38But as I was sending it out, Mrs. Van Ryn said she didn't want her silver used for the meeting.
11:42What should I do?
11:43Well, it's Mrs. Van Ryn's silver.
11:46But Mrs. Forte pays our wages.
11:47We cannot serve two masters.
11:49But we do.
11:49All right.
11:50I'll speak to both Mrs. Forte and Mrs. Van Ryn.
11:54Then you'll get two different answers.
12:01I'm sorry to banish you up here, but at least you don't have to drag the painting along when you
12:05go home.
12:05I'm happy, I assure you.
12:07The light is excellent in here.
12:11What's the point of this?
12:13I dare say Mr. Sergeant can answer that.
12:16There's a moment when a young girl turns into a woman.
12:19It doesn't last long, and I'd like it caught on campus.
12:23You managed it so well with your portrait of Mrs. Burkhart.
12:25I'm glad you liked it.
12:27I liked its dark and its light.
12:29I liked how you showed that youth is complicated and not just pretty.
12:33And that is what you want to see in a picture of Mrs. Russell?
12:35With a hint of what's to come when she takes her place in society.
12:40Oh, Mother.
12:43Excuse me.
12:47It troubles me that I never mentioned a slight commotion at the Paris Salon this year.
12:54About your portrait of Madame X, with her loose strap falling away from her naked shoulder?
12:59I had to repaint it back in place.
13:01It will only drive up your price.
13:03I wish I had your confidence.
13:05I wish I'd had my confidence when I was your age.
13:21Okay.
13:30Oh, Miss Scott.
13:32I was getting worried.
13:33I hope I'm in time.
13:35I'm afraid my mother persuaded me to stay.
13:37She didn't want me to travel through the snowstorm.
13:39And was the letter that was waiting for you worth the journey?
13:42It was from the editor of the Christian Recorder, Mr. Benjamin Tucker Tanner.
13:46He's offered to publish an extract from my novel.
13:48What?
13:48But that's incredible.
13:50How did he know about it?
13:52I wrote to him.
13:53Sent him a few pages and a synopsis.
13:55But I never thought I'd hear back.
13:56It's such great news.
13:58Not just for you, but for a lot of people.
14:01I believe it could be.
14:02We'll see.
14:03You must need warming up after that journey.
14:05Bannister, can you fetch a brandy for Miss Scott?
14:07Of course, Mom.
14:09Miss Scott has agreed to be part of our temperance meeting.
14:13You have joined this absurd cause.
14:15Mrs. Forte just asked me to take notes.
14:17Because you did such an excellent job with the invitations.
14:20You used my secretary on this nonsense.
14:23Who was in charge here?
14:24That's rather what I wanted you to...
14:25Agnes, I won't remind you why I have the right to give orders.
14:30Is this enough chairs, ma'am?
14:32Oh, I think we need to create more space first.
14:34Perhaps we could move this table.
14:36How many of them are there?
14:38Have you advertised this meeting to teetotalers in every part of the state?
14:41It may be funny to you, but it's a cause many people feel passionate about.
14:45Well, this is not the Coliseum.
14:47It is a private home.
14:48If there are so many people keen on spoiling the country's fun, you'll need a bigger tent.
14:53Agnes, I ask that you be on your best behavior this afternoon.
14:56And if you cannot manage that, please have the courtesy to stay in your room.
15:00Or go out.
15:01I'm being banished from my own home.
15:03Not exactly.
15:04May I remind you of the time when this house was your only shelter?
15:07I've never been ungrateful.
15:08Until now.
15:13Bridget was given conflicting orders for the silver, ma'am.
15:18What's the problem?
15:19I do not wish for those people to use my silver.
15:24Are you really that petty?
15:26I am discerning there is a difference.
15:29Besides, no one will come in this weather.
15:34Hmm.
15:36Let the sober circus begin.
15:42Alcohol is to blame for crime, violence, and even disease.
15:46We cannot sit idly by while this scourge damages our children's future.
15:53Is it God's will for our great nation to have more saloons than public schools?
15:57I don't believe so.
15:59We must act, or this sin will be our undoing.
16:02We have to save those who can be saved.
16:05What about the ones that won't stop drinking?
16:07The Bible says transgressors will be destroyed.
16:10So I'm afraid those who partake of alcohol are destined to the fury of hell.
16:16I want to thank our new benefactor, Mrs. Forte, for opening her home to our cause,
16:22and to all of you who braved the elements to join us today.
16:31Are we supposed to applaud our eternal damnation if we have wine with dinner?
16:35My applause was in gratitude that she's finally finished.
16:38And now, will you please join us in the dining room for some tea?
16:51I need a real drink.
16:53Have Bannister bring the decanter up to my room.
16:56I hope you'll come down for dinner.
16:58I might have a tray upstairs.
17:00I must leave, too.
17:02Charles and I are going to the opera tonight.
17:04Oh, thank you for coming, dear.
17:06We must get you over here for dinner sometime.
17:09Not if we aren't serving wine.
17:14I've had a letter from Hector.
17:16Don't say he's coming to New York.
17:17Well, I suppose dukes are allowed to travel like anyone else.
17:21He asks after you in the letter.
17:23I thought I might invite him to stay.
17:24Why?
17:25I don't like him.
17:26You hardly know him.
17:27Then he hardly knows me.
17:31I'm going to catch the last act of the Met tonight.
17:33Can I go with him?
17:34No.
17:37It's Traviata with Marcella Semberg singing Violetta.
17:40There's always a good crowd for her.
17:42I know we'll find one of your friends for Gladys to sit with.
17:46I suppose you'll want me to entertain your duke when he's here.
17:51Well, very well.
17:53I saw Aurora faint at Mrs. Gowelet.
17:55She said they're going.
17:56Look out for her.
17:57Thank you, Mother.
17:57What can I do when you bully me so?
18:01Oh, there you are.
18:03I've been worried sick.
18:04With all the snow, I had you overturned and it did.
18:07I should have sent a message.
18:08I've eaten, but I can get them to bring a tray while you change.
18:12Or should we abandon the opera?
18:15Of course.
18:16We were going to see the third act of Traviata.
18:18We don't have to.
18:19I think we both know how the story comes out.
18:21I'm just relieved you're home and in one piece...
18:23There's something I need to say.
18:24First, let me have them bring some supper for you.
18:26Aurora, stop.
18:27Just sit and listen.
18:31What is it?
18:38This is extremely hard for me to say, and I'm sorry.
18:41But you will have noticed that for the past few months, I've been away from the house a great deal.
18:45You're very busy, I know that.
18:47I'm busy, yes.
18:48But I've also met someone.
18:55And I've been spending a lot of time with her.
18:58But I thought we were happy.
19:00I've been happy.
19:02Haven't you?
19:04Don't make me say something unkind.
19:08The fact is, we've decided to marry.
19:11And for that, I need a divorce.
19:16A divorce?
19:17For me?
19:19Is there someone else I should be divorcing?
19:24Oh, what a fool you must think of me.
19:26What a fool I've been.
19:27You've tried.
19:28I know.
19:29But we don't care about the same things.
19:32Or even the same people.
19:34The fact is, we don't want the same life.
19:40You'll divorce me, of course.
19:42Why?
19:43It's what you want.
19:44I don't.
19:44That's how it's done.
19:45A gentleman doesn't divorce his wife.
19:47Maybe, but he can treat her badly, can't he?
19:50You'll be protected.
19:52Nothing will be done that is not as you would have it.
19:54That's not true, is it?
19:55Because I don't want to be divorced.
19:57Evora, the only accepted cause for divorce is adultery,
20:00and I can't very well accuse you.
20:01No, because I have been faithful.
20:03And I have not.
20:04Which I freely admit, so you must bring the charge.
20:06Well, I won't.
20:07I don't want to ruin my life.
20:09Why should I?
20:11Things are not as they used to be.
20:13Among our people, things are very much as they used to be.
20:15So you want us to go to war?
20:17Oh, you march in here and tell me my life is over,
20:19and I'm supposed to agree?
20:21I don't mean to be unreasonable.
20:22Then stop being unreasonable.
20:24And the answer is no, I won't do it.
20:27You'll be unhappy as well as me.
20:29And so will your inamorata, I suppose.
20:32Who is she?
20:33May I know?
20:34Elsa Lipton, Carter Lipton's widow.
20:36Oh, I knew it would be someone shady.
20:38There's no need to be unpleasant.
20:39It's the truth.
20:40With her history, it would just be one more battle score,
20:43when it would ruin me.
20:44You exaggerate.
20:45Really, do you think I would be welcome in the circles
20:47where I am welcome now, as a divorced woman?
20:55I never thought I would be glad to have no children.
21:01I'm going up.
21:04How strange.
21:05When I bedecked myself in these gigas,
21:07I was looking forward to your coming home.
21:10Little did I know.
21:20I'm so sorry Oscar didn't come down to dinner again.
21:24I hope he's not ill.
21:26I think he's just tired.
21:27He had a tray in his room.
21:29Nurse, it must have been exhausting, ruining me.
21:32Badness.
21:32He paid a high price.
21:35He's lost his place at the bank.
21:37He's given up his rooms and his valet.
21:40I'm afraid he's just given up.
21:42He never comes out of his room.
21:43Do you mind him living here?
21:45Should I ask him to move out?
21:47How can he?
21:48He has no money.
21:49Well, I know what that's like.
21:50Anyway, I don't want him to.
21:52But he does need to find a plan.
21:56Marion, may I ask you something?
21:57Of course.
21:58It might be helpful for Oscar to see more of young Mr. Russell.
22:03He must have plenty of money to play with, but he works away.
22:06I don't think Mr. Russell gives him much money, but he certainly does work hard.
22:09Better and better.
22:10Would you invite him to dinner, say, Tuesday night?
22:13You do remember he's in business with John, trying to sell the clock.
22:16Which will only render the evening more interesting.
22:19Hmm, I'm not sure I agree.
22:23Invite him.
22:47That was magnificent.
22:49Thank you for including us.
22:51Of course.
22:52My son was keen to see Miss Russell.
22:54Yes, I could hear the whispers all the way through the second act.
22:58You cannot contain young love.
23:01If you'll excuse me.
23:02Of course.
23:05If you want to marry me and I want to marry you, we're already engaged.
23:08So why not just tell her?
23:10I can't while father's away.
23:11And you have to ask him first.
23:13I want it settled before her dupe gets back to New York.
23:16What?
23:17How did you know about that?
23:19I read it.
23:19It's on paper.
23:21She's not going to win.
23:22Not against my father.
23:24I promise.
23:25His mother seems to think they're in love.
23:28She would not be wrong.
23:29Don't tell Bertha that.
23:31I assume she was not aware that Billy Carlton would be here.
23:34We never said we were meeting you.
23:37She finds out the truth, I'll pay.
23:39She can't keep Gladys locked up forever.
23:42Not forever, no.
23:43Just for long enough.
23:45Why?
23:46What's mother done now?
23:47She started to leak the details of the duke's next stay.
23:50An outing here, a dinner there.
23:52Soon, if it doesn't come off, it'll look as if Gladys has failed to land him.
23:56I thought the newspaper articles were planted against her wishes.
23:59Less dignified ones, maybe.
24:01But she plays a long game, your mother.
24:04I don't dislike her.
24:05Not at all.
24:06But she's sure this is for Gladys' good.
24:09And she won't let her daughter wreck her own future.
24:12Let us pray your father gets back in time.
24:22Jack, you need more light.
24:25It's very late for that.
24:27Mr. Larry needs him for the presentation.
24:28This clock, it'll never live and apparently it'll never die.
24:33Oh, Mrs. Van Ryan gave me the menu for the dinner on Tuesday.
24:37Oh, but Mrs. Forte's given me quite a different one.
24:40Oh, this can't go wrong.
24:42We all need to know who we're working for now.
24:45That's your job, Mr. Bannister.
24:47You have to get it settled.
24:49I wonder who will win in the end.
24:50Mrs. Forte or Mrs. Van Ryan?
24:52Miss Ada has the money now.
24:54But does that mean she'll have the final say?
24:55Mrs. Van Ryan won't give that up.
24:57She always speaks quite loudly.
25:01Will you go to the presentations?
25:02I'm sure Miss Ada will let you.
25:04Probably.
25:05She's soft enough.
25:06Find out the date.
25:11It's Mr. Oscar for Jack.
25:13Again?
25:13Jack was just up there.
25:15You'll want another glass of whiskey.
25:16What does he do all day?
25:17Just gnaw you around and drink?
25:19It is not for us to comment.
25:23If you'll excuse me, I'll go up.
25:25Are you quite well?
25:26My mother was right.
25:27I must have caught a chill on my way to the train.
25:29I'll make you hot lemon and honey.
25:31Oh, thank you.
25:32Good night.
25:58I don't understand.
26:01Which bit is not clear.
26:03None of it is clear.
26:04I suppose Charles has been unhappy.
26:07Unhappy?
26:08What is this babble?
26:10You have a nice house.
26:11You have money.
26:12People come to your dinners.
26:14You're invited everywhere.
26:15What more is there?
26:16Some people want more.
26:17I know I do.
26:19Take a ride around Five Points or Hell's Kitchen and tell me you're not satisfied with your life.
26:24But what about this Mrs. Lipton?
26:26These things can be managed without the horses skidding off the road.
26:31Really, Agnes, you sound like Madame de Pompadour.
26:33But she would have known how to sort this out.
26:36What do you propose?
26:37He wants me to establish residency in Newport.
26:39I've told him no.
26:41He wants you to sit quietly in Newport, waiting to be ruined.
26:44We're trying to be helpful, Agnes.
26:46I'm ruined already, to be honest.
26:48Or I will be when the rumors start.
26:50But why do you have to do anything?
26:52He has no grounds.
26:54He needs me to divorce him.
26:55That's what the law states.
26:57And if it comes to it, Newport is better.
27:01It can be settled in private there.
27:03In New York, the press is allowed into the court.
27:06Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
27:09Try to save the marriage, if you can.
27:11There's no logic in this at all.
27:13You haven't done anything wrong.
27:14Society is not known for its logic.
27:17Especially where women are concerned.
27:20We'll still ask you.
27:22Aunt Agnes, you'll ask Aurora to your dinners, won't you?
27:26Well, if the divorce goes through, she may not want to come in a group.
27:30She may be happier alone.
27:37Well, I've told him no.
27:40So now we just have to see what happens.
27:43I hope my intentions are clear.
27:45Sure.
27:46You intend to buy our mines cheap, make a pile of money, and go back to New York to spend
27:50it.
27:50And you represent?
27:52Arizona Central Mining Company.
27:53What, Mr. Russell?
27:54Your businesses are underfunded.
27:56Your transport belongs to the last century.
27:58There's hardly a mine owned by any of you that hasn't gone bust in the past 20 years.
28:02And you think you can change that?
28:04Why do you need all of them?
28:05What's your mine?
28:06Mahazuma.
28:07Here's the thing, Mr. Russell.
28:08They may not be much to you, but these mines are all we have.
28:12We won't give them up easy, and we don't want to waste your time.
28:14But you need to find a way to make us all rich alongside you.
28:17Not as rich as you may be, but rich.
28:20Come up with that?
28:21We'll reconvene.
28:28They know who you are.
28:29They also know you're their only chance.
28:32Indeed.
28:33A cable for Mr. Russell.
28:40I must go home.
28:41Why?
28:42What's happened?
28:42There's a run on the Metropolitan National Bank.
28:45They've accused the president of stealing funds.
28:47What?
28:47We've only just survived the failure of the Marine National.
28:50And John Eno taking millions from the Second National.
28:53What's going on?
28:53I know George Saney.
28:54He's an honest man.
28:56And I'll lose a fortune if that bank goes down.
28:58What about the negotiations?
28:59You want your cut, don't you?
29:01Clay will stay here.
29:02Pay them.
29:03Make sure I keep the lion's share and all the power.
29:06When you succeed, bring the contracts and outside.
29:08I suppose we don't succeed.
29:09Then you won't get your money.
29:10And Clay will be out of a job.
29:12You don't mean that.
29:14Mr. Russell is a one-man band.
29:17The rest of us are disposable.
29:19Now find me a coach to get me to Yuma.
29:21I can get a train from that.
29:23Shall we get something to eat?
29:25Could they manage a steak?
29:27You won't like it, but...
29:29All right.
29:29Barkeep!
29:30Two steaks and more beer.
29:32Full house!
29:34Woo!
29:35Woo!
29:36Woo!
29:36Woo!
29:38Woo!
29:38Woo!
29:38Woo!
29:38Woo!
29:38Woo!
29:48Who's the first?
29:50I made Marion take a bath.
29:52She's been in the cold, and I don't want her coming down with something.
29:55Very sensible.
29:58How are you getting on? Have you managed to find any new prospects?
30:03I must confess it is quite hard to create the right impression.
30:08Meaning what, exactly?
30:10Well, I'm up against all these fellows with money and position.
30:14You have position, even if you don't have money.
30:17But that's the thing, without money you just don't count.
30:19Well, then you must find a way to make some.
30:23It's not quite as easy as all that.
30:25I'm sure, but it can be done.
30:27They say Mr. Gould started with scarcely a dollar to his name.
30:35So you won't give me an allowance?
30:40Oscar, I will house you, and feed you, and even clothe you.
30:44You are safe from real poverty, which is the curse of millions,
30:48but the rest you must do for yourself.
30:51You might be inspired by young Mr. Russell.
31:01More wine, no?
31:03Thank you, Bannister.
31:06This is so kind of you, Mrs. Forte.
31:09We want to hear about all your new projects that Marion talks about.
31:13And how your father supports you.
31:16He does where he can, yes.
31:18How nice it must be to feel that everyone is on your side.
31:22We'd all be on your side if you tried to find a job.
31:25What draws you to a new idea?
31:27Like our footman's clock.
31:29Yes.
31:29Well, that's easy.
31:30Mr. Trotter is a genius.
31:32His clock is unique in the market, and I have meetings planned over the coming weeks, which is exciting.
31:37You won't mind if John has some time off for that, will you, Aunt Ada?
31:40No, of course not.
31:41Oh, no. I'm going to go alone at this stage. I don't want to overwhelm them.
31:45Oh.
31:46Well, we look forward to hearing how it all comes out.
31:49And I hope you'll all be glad to hear I have a new position, too.
31:54What? Where?
31:55The female normal in high school.
31:58That sounds like a mistranslation.
32:00Why can't you keep teaching watercolors to nicely brought up young ladies?
32:04That was bad enough.
32:05Honestly, Aunt Agnes, you chastised me for working and Oscar for not working, which is it?
32:09Well, you are a lady. Oscar is not.
32:12Well, it's only three times a week.
32:14Agnes, the normal school is special.
32:16It educates young women of every race, class, and religion.
32:20We should be very proud of Marion.
32:22But won't she need a bodyguard?
32:24You'd be surprised at what we all have in common.
32:26Such as?
32:27Suffrage, for one.
32:28A group of women have organized to support OSA.
32:30OSA? What's that?
32:32The American Woman Suffrage Association.
32:37Am I astounded?
32:38It is a cause that interests me.
32:39Really?
32:40Why? Am I not allowed to have my causes? You have so many.
32:44I should think suffering more important than suffrage.
32:47Oh. I apologize for having principles.
32:49Does this mean you approve of Marion's new position?
32:53No.
32:54Ah.
32:55By the way, Jack, Mr. Weston wrote today. He's definitely interested.
33:01That's good, sir.
33:02I'm glad for this Mr. Weston, whoever he may be.
33:05But can we revert to traditional ways and allow the footman to bring round more sauce?
33:10Of course not.
33:15That sounds rather awkward.
33:17It was unusual. I can say that.
33:20It's wrong you're not at the meetings, Jack.
33:22He doesn't know how it works. Not really.
33:25He'll have the drawings. But he's not enough.
33:27You keep saying Mr. Larry is your partner, so better not like a partner and show you some respect.
33:34Mrs. Van Ryn and Mrs. Forte were at it again tonight.
33:36You must get things settled.
33:39You think it'll go away, but it won't.
33:41I know.
33:42Miss Scott's not coming down so we can start supper.
33:44She's no better then?
33:45I'm afraid not. She looks worse.
33:52How was your evening?
33:54I enjoyed it. But they'll never make a worker out of Oscar Van Ryn.
33:58That was a lucky escape for me.
34:00Did Mother say anything more about when Father was coming home?
34:03No. She's so taken with getting ready for her wretched Duke.
34:06Doesn't it worry?
34:08I'll be safe once Father's back. He won't let her force me. I promise.
34:12She can be awfully persuasive when she wants to be. Mrs. Fish says that-
34:16Mrs. Fish loves the drama. She's longing to see Father and the Duke tussle it out in Union Square.
34:22You don't think you should elope with Billy? To some state where it would be legal?
34:28Would you elope with Marion?
34:32You may be keeping it secret, but I can tell. You love her.
34:38It's different for us.
34:40Marion and I just have to wait, but you're running out of time.
34:44Will you plead my case with Mother?
34:46I'll try, but don't hold out much hope.
34:49When Mother's made her mind up, it takes an act of Congress to change it.
34:57Are you headed for the bathroom?
34:59No, no, no. You go.
35:00I'm in no hurry. Although this seems like an early bedtime for you.
35:04Well, that's my new life. Early bed and queuing for the bathroom.
35:11Oscar.
35:12Hmm?
35:15I'm sad if you don't like Mr. Russell.
35:18He's nice enough.
35:20The fact is, we're not cut from the same cloth.
35:23I was born to be rich.
35:25I was not born to make a fortune.
35:27It's a different gift.
35:30I need another way.
35:32Well, we know of one other way, which you've tried twice now, without success.
35:39Ouch. Don't remind me.
35:40Will you have another go?
35:42I have less to offer these days, penniless as I am.
35:45Something will turn up.
35:46And besides, Aunt Ada won't let you starve.
35:48No, I won't starve, but you'd like me to work for every mouthful.
35:52Are you going to Miss Scott?
35:54Yes, Miss?
35:55I'll take that.
36:03Oh, you shouldn't have done that.
36:04Bridget was on her way up, but I wanted to see how you are.
36:07Ugh, I've been better.
36:09I just can't seem to shake it, thank you.
36:11Aunt Agnes was asking after you.
36:14Perhaps you should see a doctor.
36:16Oh no, it's such an expansive, it's just a cold.
36:20Promise me you'll sleep when I go.
36:21They have asked for another chapter that I haven't written yet.
36:24Then they'll just have to wait.
36:29Oh, wait.
36:30How's your dinner?
36:33Aunt Ada hoped that Larry would inspire Oscar to throw himself into the world of work,
36:37which only shows how little she knows him.
36:40I thought you might have announced your engagement to young Mr. Russell.
36:45There's plenty of time for that.
36:47So you're not in a hurry then?
36:49I've made two mistakes.
36:51The first, because I was blind.
36:53The second, because I thought I could settle for something less than perfect.
36:55I was wrong both times.
36:57I don't want to be wrong again.
36:58I like Mr. Russell.
37:01So do I.
37:04Very, very much.
37:08But I felt the same for Mr. Rakes.
37:10He is not Mr. Rakes.
37:11He's honorable, for one thing.
37:13And kind-hearted, and he's always been my friend.
37:20But there's no rush.
37:23Now finish that and get some sleep.
37:34Mrs. Russell is serving coffee for her committee in the drawing room.
37:37She thought you'd like some syrup.
37:39I'm sure we both would.
37:41You mean Mr. Trotter is to have a cup of coffee too?
37:43I'm sure that's what Mrs. Russell intended.
37:48I don't need any coffee.
37:49Of course you'll have coffee.
37:50Thank you, James.
37:55You'd think we were at the Court of Franz Josef of Austria.
37:58I suppose it takes some getting used to for him.
38:00You'll have your own footman before I'm finished with you.
38:03And your own house on 61st Street.
38:06I won't fight you on that.
38:09Now, can you make one drawing concentrating on the new element?
38:13I did that here.
38:16Oh.
38:17Yes.
38:19I didn't see it.
38:21And so, this bit here is the same as that?
38:25You sure you don't want me to be there?
38:28In case they ask any technical questions?
38:30I think I can manage.
38:36Thank you, Mr. Bevan.
38:42We should be pleased.
38:44We're in good shape for next season.
38:45And we're already established as one of the key opera houses in the world.
38:53I agree.
38:54Well done, Alice.
38:55It's something to celebrate.
38:57Yes.
38:57I'm rather hoping that Mrs. Russell and I will soon have another cause for celebration.
39:03What's this?
39:04I was saying you and I may soon be drinking a toast for a different reason.
39:09I'm sorry. I don't follow you.
39:11Well, from what Billy said.
39:12You mean your son, Billy?
39:15He was talking the other night when he got back from the opera.
39:18Talking about what?
39:19Gladys.
39:20He'd seen her there with Mrs. Fish.
39:22But I don't want you to misunderstand.
39:24We're all devoted to Gladys.
39:26We couldn't like her more.
39:27What's this? They met with you?
39:29The young were milling about.
39:30Larry brought Gladys to sit with me and the others came in and out of the box.
39:34You know how it is.
39:35I don't know anything of the sort.
39:38Mrs. Gardner, are you leaving?
39:42I'll suffer for that.
39:43But Billy was so sure.
39:45What about the Duke of Buckingham?
39:47I know there was talk.
39:49But I thought that was gossip and Billy had been accepted.
39:52We were just waiting for him to speak to Mr. Russell.
39:55In this house, nothing is accepted that isn't proposed by Newseous Russell.
40:10Hello, Adelheid.
40:11Your meeting's done then?
40:13Yes.
40:14And do you have a date set for the manufacture of the Great Clock?
40:18We're still looking for investors.
40:23Mr. Larry's playing with you like a doll, Jack.
40:26He won't help you to make your clock.
40:28I don't agree.
40:30Of course he needs to-
40:31Why'd you have to make a fool of Mr. Bevan?
40:33What's he done to you?
40:34I didn't make a fool of him.
40:37He offered me a cup of coffee.
40:38Mr. Larry offered you coffee.
40:40And you should have refused and not made Mr. Bevan wait on a junior footman
40:44from a smaller house across the street.
40:48In America, you don't have to live like your parents lived.
40:53Maybe I'm on my way to that.
40:59You're getting above yourself, Jack.
41:02Mr. Larry may invite you for dinner and the night for all I care.
41:06But you're not in favor downstairs.
41:24Good. We can talk on our own.
41:27What about?
41:28Thank you, Andrew.
41:31Mrs. Carlton was here this morning.
41:32She thinks we're about to announce Gladys' engagement to her son.
41:35That she told you about the opera.
41:37She didn't know why it should be a secret.
41:39Nor do I.
41:40Unless it's because it's not happening.
41:43Let her live her own life, Mother.
41:45If I had been given what I've planned for Gladys,
41:48I would have finished up Queen of the World.
41:50Do you think Father would agree?
41:52When I've explained things to him?
41:54I'm not so sure.
41:56You were wrong to involve Mrs. Fish in your schemes.
41:58She'll spread it all over New York and Newport.
42:00I don't think so.
42:00She likes Gladys.
42:02She likes gossip.
42:03You're yum.
42:04And you're foolish.
42:06I don't hold it against you since the two go together.
42:08But I'm neither.
42:09And I see that your sister can live a powerful, interesting life.
42:12Do you know what it means to be the Duchess of Buckingham?
42:14She can influence politics, shape events, set fashions in clothing and art or anything else.
42:19But to do this, she has to be sensible now and avoid stupid choices.
42:23A stupid choice like Billy Carlton?
42:26Do you not think it enough that Gladys just wants to be happy?
42:30Happiness as a by-product of a well-ordered life may last.
42:34As a goal, it is invariably doomed to failure.
42:47Ms. Scott?
42:50Oh, Mrs. Van Ryn, you should have come all the way up here.
42:54I can still climb the stairs.
42:56I can know better and it's clearly much more than a cold.
42:58Indeed.
42:59I shall call the doctor.
43:00Oh, please don't.
43:03I'm just a little tired.
43:04I think I caught a little cold on top of that.
43:13Try and sleep.
43:19Can we send for the doctor now?
43:21I'll write to Dr. Lewis at once.
43:22Dr. Lewis?
43:23Oh, he knows her.
43:24And he won't want to get on the wrong side of me.
43:33You must be glad how it's going.
43:35I'm glad.
43:36You don't look very glad.
43:38It was something Adelheid said.
43:39What do we have to thank her for now?
43:41It was when I was leaving.
43:43She said I'm getting above my station.
43:46She thinks I made a fool of myself.
43:48Have you said this to Mr. Diary?
43:50No.
43:50Do you think I should?
43:51I do not.
43:52Not one syllable of it.
43:54This is your chance, chap.
43:55And there's no room for doubt.
43:57I don't doubt the clock.
43:59It's good.
43:59And someone will see that one day.
44:01I just wonder about my own part in it.
44:04When Mr. Larry was here and I was holding a dish for him to serve himself,
44:08it did make me think.
44:09It should only make you think of the road ahead.
44:12We believe in you.
44:13And Miss Marion, Mrs. Forte, and even Mrs. Van Ryn.
44:17Everyone's ready to celebrate.
44:18Except Miss Armstrong.
44:20Maybe.
44:21But everyone else.
44:30Dr. Lewis.
44:32How very good of you, Doctor.
44:34My pleasure.
44:35Marion, would you escort him upstairs?
44:36Of course.
44:42It might be wise to write to Miss Scott's parents, Mama.
44:45Marion seems to think she's really ill.
44:47Of course.
44:48Her father runs a pharmacy.
44:50I wish we'd written before now.
44:52What is it, Bannister?
44:53Should Mrs. Bower continue to hold dinner, Mom?
44:56Yes, we should wait for Miss Marion and Dr. Lewis to come back down.
44:59I agree.
45:00Otherwise, we might have to ask him to join us.
45:04Well, that was very quick.
45:06Have you discovered what is wrong with her?
45:08Dr. Lewis is refusing to treat her because she is colored.
45:12You said in your note she was your secretary.
45:15Miss Scott is my secretary.
45:16And she is colored.
45:17You have met her before.
45:18I must have forgotten.
45:19I'm afraid I do not take colored patients.
45:22Good evening to you.
45:25Isn't that against the Hippocratic oath?
45:27When he's here already?
45:29What are we to do now?
45:30Send for her parents.
45:31And quickly.
45:32I'll write a letter and have John deliver it tonight.
45:34I hope Dr. Lewis regrets his choice when he realizes what it will cost him.
45:40John, take this to Brooklyn right away.
45:42To Mr. and Mrs. Scott.
45:43I'll find you a cab.
45:46Mrs. Van Ryn must have known the doctor wouldn't treat her.
45:48She thinks rules don't apply to her.
45:50You can ask people to change their ways at a moment's notice.
45:53They should have sent for her parents before now.
45:59You married father for love.
46:00You chose your husband.
46:02Why can't I?
46:02Because I was nothing special.
46:04You're George Russell's daughter.
46:05You need someone worthy of that.
46:06I'm not like you mother.
46:07I don't want to be at the head of society.
46:09But you already are.
46:10And that is why you cannot be ruled by infatuation.
46:12What I feel for Billy is real.
46:14Billy will never achieve anything of note.
46:16And he will grow to resent you for his own shortcomings.
46:18He's from a good family.
46:20Three years ago you would have begged to be invited into their drawing.
46:22We've overtaken them now.
46:23My sweet girl.
46:24I'm not a girl.
46:25Not anymore.
46:26When will you see that?
46:27You're a girl if I say.
46:29And I pray that's why you have no judgment.
46:31Please God you'll grow out of it.
46:33Well you have no values.
46:34Will you grow out of that?
46:36Why?
46:36Do you think I should stand aside and watch you marry some worthless non-entity?
46:41Don't you know a bad marriage is a prison?
46:44I couldn't agree more.
46:46Good night.
46:48Gladys.
46:49Oh no.
46:52Oh I can't.
47:09I am not a bad marriage.
47:13I can't help him with my friends.
47:16That's I can't help him with my friends.
47:19I am not a bad marriage.
47:19Ha ha ha ha!
