00:05Ms. Clarice!
00:11Ms. Clarice!
00:18Ms. Clarice?
00:22Ms. Clarice?
00:29Ms. Clarice!
00:29She's not in the bowl room or any of the rooms on that floor!
00:32She's nowhere to be found, Mr. Church!
00:34Who will tell the mistress?
00:41Mother?
00:46Mother, wake up!
00:48What is it?
00:49Gladys is missing.
00:50Her maid went to her room this morning.
00:51The bed hasn't been slept in.
00:52They've checked the whole house.
00:53You don't think she's eloped?
00:55Oh, my God.
00:57Did she say anything to you?
00:58No.
00:59But if she has run away, it's because you left her no choice.
01:01You're blaming me?
01:03How will that help find your sister?
01:04Should we contact the police?
01:05Of course not!
01:06Madame?
01:08This just arrived for you?
01:15I need to get dressed.
01:16What does it say?
01:17It says where your sister's been all night.
01:27Where are you going?
01:29The servant's entrance.
01:30No, we have been asked to come here.
01:32We are going through the front door.
01:33Arthur, please, let's not make a fuss.
01:35We need to see our daughter.
01:37So don't you go down those steps.
01:39Please!
01:43Oh, Dr. Kirkland.
01:44Mrs. Scott!
01:45You are very punctual.
01:48Thank you for coming.
01:49Of course.
01:50Shall we go in?
01:52Yes.
01:55Mrs. Van Ryan is expecting you.
01:57Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Scott.
01:59I do wish this were under happier circumstances.
02:02Thank you for sending force.
02:03And, of course, this is good of you, Dr. Kirkland.
02:06We're so grateful.
02:07You have Mr. Scott to thank.
02:09I have a mixture here.
02:10Mrs. Van Ryan wrote that Peggy had a cough.
02:14It's muriate of morphia, powdered acacia, and sub-nitrate abysma.
02:19It will help.
02:20I'd also like some hot water for her feet.
02:22I'll ask the footman to take up a bath, and our maid will bring the hot water.
02:26Marion, show Dr. Kirkland the way to Mrs. Scott's room.
02:28Of course.
02:29Will you come this way, Doc?
02:30Please.
02:31We can wait in here.
02:32I'm afraid that he's ruined his room.
02:34That's my aura.
02:41There were two cold men in the hall.
02:43The doctor and Mrs. Scott's father.
02:45Well, I've seen it all now.
02:48Mrs. Scott saved your job out of Christian kindness.
02:51And you have nothing in your heart but prejudice.
02:54The world I have lived in since I was born has been turned on its head.
02:57Can you blame me if I'm shocked?
02:58Yes, Mrs. Armstrong, I can.
03:00I'm only saying what everyone is thinking.
03:03I wasn't thinking that.
03:04No one is thinking that.
03:06But surely...
03:06That's enough.
03:07I don't want to hear another word out of your mouth unless it's something nice, which it never is.
03:12So I trust you'll keep it shut.
03:14Are you gonna let her speak to me in such a manner?
03:17Hmm?
03:18Yes, I believe I am.
03:21We're so grateful Dr. Kirkland was able to treat her.
03:25Yes, and I'm deeply ashamed that our doctor refused.
03:29He's taken care of my family for years, so I was rather stunned.
03:33Why would you be stunned?
03:35Arthur.
03:36You're a wise woman.
03:38You know how the world works.
03:40I suppose so, but it still saddens me.
03:42It is not how we were raised.
03:44Our father was a patron of the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia where Miss Scott studied.
03:49Yes, she told us.
03:51Any word on Peggy?
03:53Not yet.
03:53I'm just going down to ask for more hot water.
03:58He's a good doctor, and I know he is.
04:05That's her now.
04:07This is not how I meant for our engagement to be.
04:09My mother left us no choice.
04:10What if she thinks I kidnapped you in the night?
04:12I'll tell her it was all my doing.
04:14She has to grasp that I mean to stand up to her, but we both will.
04:17Please come with me.
04:20Please.
04:21The building must be strong and united.
04:23Gladys?
04:24I do love you.
04:25Your mother's here.
04:28Mother?
04:29Mrs. Russell, we took good care of Gladys.
04:32It was two when she arrived.
04:33They had to wake me up.
04:35It seemed too late to send her back.
04:36Of course.
04:37I made sure my footman took the message first thing this morning.
04:39It was kind of you to look after her.
04:41I want to stay here until father returns.
04:42Wait for me in the carriage.
04:44But I...
04:44Now, Gladys.
04:56They were never alone.
04:58I made sure of that.
04:59You have nothing to fear.
05:00I woke to find my daughter gone.
05:02A nightmare for any parent.
05:03She was at the breaking point when she came.
05:05I nearly sent for a doctor.
05:06But not for her mother?
05:08I suggested that.
05:09But you can imagine her reaction.
05:11It's a family matter, Mrs. Carlton.
05:13Mrs. Russell, won't you sit down?
05:16Can't we start again?
05:18Meaning what exactly?
05:24I know Billy got off on the wrong foot.
05:26But the children seem well suited.
05:28Not to me.
05:30I hesitate to pull rank.
05:32But my great grandfather signed the Declaration of Independence.
05:35What were your ancestors doing then, I wonder?
05:38I thought you understood that Gladys is about to be engaged.
05:41It isn't what Gladys said.
05:43Well, according to you, she was out of her mind.
05:46What if they can't be stopped?
05:48But they can.
05:50And they will be.
05:52Good day, Mrs. Carlton.
05:53I do.
06:13What sort of defense?
06:15Thank you, Mr. Circle!
06:21Algleader!
06:23to keep drinking our cup can make some broth i'd like to check back in a few hours and looking
06:28again tomorrow we prefer to take her home and you can visit her there i don't advise moving her not
06:32into the cold for a long ride she'd be better off staying here we'd feel more comfortable to have
06:38her back in brooklyn with this is then ryan's permission she will stay here until you say
06:42otherwise i'll see you later on if that's all right it's more than all right thank you for
06:47everything will you we are certainly in your debt we weren't expecting you to return so soon sir
07:01i have some business that needs my attention i'm going up to change jp morgan will be here later
07:07for meeting very good sir there's mrs russell she had an urgent matter to seek to concerning
07:13miss gladys what do you mean mrs russell lewis wincer
07:21the panic's coming it's only a matter of time stocks are plummeting
07:27there's a new firm going under every day grant and ward just collapsed metropolitan isn't alone
07:35i couldn't let it fail saying he was innocent and as you just said run on a bank can be
07:42contagious
07:43i'd have lost more than i care to admit well if i have you in my debt then i have
07:49grounds to ask
07:50a favor my trip out west wasn't about buying copper mines i said that because you wanted me
07:55to believe it what really you were after was a land that went with the mine i have a vision
08:02a railroad that will transform this country and perhaps the world an illusory vision i want to
08:09connect all the major cities of america to create a continuous line from new york to chicago and then
08:14from chicago to california without ten stops along the way it can be done perhaps but you say it too
08:23easily this will be a feat to rival moses parting the red sea you think you have a problem getting
08:31around marenzi well till you start trying to rearrange chicago it's ambitious yes but neither of us would
08:41be who we are today without ambition this line will be built it must be the only mystery is who
08:50will do
08:50it your scheme will cost more money than i know you have and your timing couldn't be worse
08:57it's true i can't do this alone the risks are enormous but if we succeed the rewards will be enormous
09:09too
09:11all right i'll do what i can but if you fail you're on your own
09:21was she trying to win us over with talk of her father in the institute i don't know
09:27maybe she wants you to think well of her
09:31since when have they cared about any of us except when it comes to our ability to cater to their
09:36every
09:37need we don't know mrs van and i and apart from our daughter we are likely the only colored people
09:43she
09:44has had in her home even so i think it wouldn't have gotten this sick if she was under our
09:50roof and
09:51we were looking after her but this is where she has chosen to be and mrs van ryan is kind
09:56to her
09:58i feel safer knowing our daughter is living in that house if she's not with us
10:03we can't blame her for the ills of society and at least she invited us through her front door which
10:09you
10:09didn't want to go in but we did now can we leave it at that and jim just want to
10:18stay
10:35good morning father you're home well you left me no choice you don't listen to me george

10:53this i can't control what they write i assure you the last thing i want is for our lives to
10:58be gossip

11:03sold at
11:04auction to the highest bidder what is this about she's being hysterical you say that because you've
11:07been caught out don't think just because it's it's in print it's a fait accompli he's your duke and you

11:34your daughter's midnight escape what she ran off to billy carlton's and frightened us to death
11:39i had to there was no other way you weren't here to protect me from your own mother yes stop
11:45being

12:04you look tired i hope the trip was a success
12:09i have peaked mr morgan's interest good and i need your help if her antics leak to the paper she'll
12:15ruin everything you've put her in this position a position that will make her the envy of every
12:21woman living and make her life a misery is that what you want when there are children they will be
12:28among the highest ranking people on earth do you really want that wrecked by billy carlton
12:33i said she could marry for love george i'm building her future a golden life

15:07did you give her any choice
15:11i am asking all members of this household to join me in taking the pledge i'm sure i need not
15:18explain
15:19the merits of temperance to you all ada now you have gone too far agnes what do you think our
15:25temperance meeting was about mrs graves i stopped listening to that woman the moment she opened her
15:31mouth you cannot force my staff our staff my staff actually and i'm not forcing anyone it is up to
15:39them
15:39to make their own choice as long as it is as i was saying the pledge hereby reads
15:47we agree that we will not buy sell or drink intoxicating liquors and we will use our best
15:57endeavors to prevent the sale and use of the same by others

16:22our place
16:23to comment her wedding would affect us all if she moves to england who will go with her she'll need
16:28a maid i wonder if they'll hold the reception here what do you think mr church the mistress will
16:33have a plan prepared she usually does well i feel sorry for miss gladys really she'll be famous around
16:39the world her picture will appear in every paper her clothes will be copied and her jewels but she
16:45won't have chosen the mansionary plenty of people who have a free choice live to regret it
16:57what are you doing going back over the details why you know it works not quite i'm sure it will
17:04work
17:04there's a difference but mr larry wrote to me today he wants me at the meetings of course you must
17:11be
17:11there he was foolish not to see it before now you thought you put your foot in it but you
17:16were right to
17:16ask i want to go so bad but now that he wants me there i feel nervous i have to
17:21give miss ada an
17:22answer on the temperance pledge and not mrs van ryan mrs forte pays outrageous these days and that must
17:29mean something so what will you do let them fight it out together this can't go on would you rather
17:35i went
17:36up and had it out with them no well someone has to and anyway i have a beer most evenings
17:42is that
17:43unreasonable we work all the hours god sends and now we can't relax on our time off i don't see
17:51how
17:51i can refuse mrs forte when she's been so kind about the clock mrs van ryan will never give up
17:56her
17:56wine so it may never come to it hey miss armstrong don't include me i've signed it
18:05does this mean everywhere or just in the house when you sign the pledge you sign the pledge
18:13you look better than you did yesterday oh yesterday's rabbit a blur that's due to the
18:19fever i do remember my parents were here they sent for me do you work with my father in the
18:26way of
18:27things my father used to get treatment for arthritis at your father's pharmacy often i'd go with him and
18:34watch mr scott mix up his potions when i found out he owned the store and heard him advise patrons
18:41about
18:42which medicine to take my world was cracked open i don't recall seeing you around the store
18:52i went to school in philadelphia so i wasn't there much
18:58good now i can listen to your lungs breathe normally
19:09sounds better
19:12but you still have that cough how is she today much improved pulse is stronger and her fever's broken
19:19but she'll need to rest for a few days we don't want to relapse no that is quite forbidden
19:27look what i brought oh much after just delivered we'll celebrate when you're feeling better your parents
19:35mentioned you're a writer is it an installment from a novel yes but i'm very behind on my work
20:08your mother was very worried
20:11only because i'd ruin her plan
20:15please don't scold me i don't agree with your methods
20:19nor your mother's but i understand her intention and that is to give you an astonishing opportunity
20:25but an opportunity for what to be one of the most influential women of your generation
20:31i don't want to be influential and i refuse to be mother's project let me be my own person
20:37marriage is the one way you can do that and this marriage
20:40would give you the power to change lives you promised i could marry for love and i'm in love
20:45with billy carlton if you and billy think the best way to pursue this is by running away
20:48then neither of you is ready to marry what if he were to ask you now
20:53you'll be at mrs vane's party very well i'll hear his arguments
21:03i only want what's best for you but you think that's the duke
21:07i think you should consider all of your options including hector
21:16and how was miss scott faring today much better it is such a relief i'm so pleased our prayers
21:22have been answered and you will send us your bill mr scott has taken care of that oh good well
21:28doctor we remain in your debt aurora i can't help wondering does charles drink it could explain his
21:39behavior not in that way but it might seem better if he did it would be less of an outright
21:45rejection
21:46oh don't talk like that charles is the fool here bannister is there any news on the pledge
21:52will the servant sign well bannister please ignore mrs forte and let the matter drop i will not let it
22:00drop this is my staff i believe i have a right to ask for their support mrs forte ma'am
22:05do you have
22:06the right to tell them what to eat for luncheon or where to worship on sunday well i think it's
22:11perfectly
22:11simple this is van rein mrs forte what is it bannister i'm very sorry but we must know downstairs who
22:20is
22:21in charge of the house now well well why must things change for a very good reason that is
22:30i uh you are quite right bannister things have changed mrs forte is the head of the household now
22:39well in a way i suppose mrs forte will give the orders from now on
22:48thank you mrs fain i will tell them they will be relieved thank you bannister
22:58it's good to have a decision
23:01but can we live with it i need a decision too i can't cancel the benefit this late
23:07but what excuse will i make for charles's absence in our own home say he is ill lack of moral
23:13judgment
23:14is a sort of illness i swore till death us do part and i meant it well it would be
23:20easier for you if
23:21he were dead i'm not sure how helpful that is agnes but just know we are very much looking forward
23:30to
23:30your party are you i'm not sure where i am the plans are terrific i'm glad to hear it you've
23:39done so

25:40i was only looking for a little privacy

30:39can we just wipe the slate clean i do hope so and i assure you billy will speak to your
30:45husband
30:46properly this time he won't make the same mistake again i do not know how many times i have to
30:50tell
30:50you this mrs carlton but gladys will not marry your son isn't it out of our hands let me speak
30:56clearly
30:57if you keep this up mr russell will see that billy never gets another job and we will disinherit
31:02gladys you do that to your own child what sort of a person are you as a rule i'm the
31:08sort of person
31:09who gets what she wants
31:26i'm so glad to see you i couldn't hide away forever oh well you must be pleased that everyone's come
31:35that mr fain has made such a recovery what your husband just came in with the bell party
31:46is that mrs lipton i thought he was upstairs he's been staying at the club so i wouldn't catch his
31:53cold
31:55that seems rather drastic he wanted to be prudent do i gather with all of this that you'll be spending
32:03more time in newport are you all right aurora i think so mrs fain i hope you don't catch your
32:12husband's chill and with that i will take my leave
32:21that was sudden charles has driven her away together with his mistress my dear don't let him get the
32:28better of you he already has
32:35i'm so glad you've come i hope it means you're feeling better excuse us how could you have brought
32:43her here we go everywhere together take her out of my house it's my house too and she didn't want
32:48to come i made her and she was right and you are cruel get used to it we'll be seen
32:52all over town
32:53wherever you go come away aurora can't you persuade her aunt agnes i am not your aunt agnes anymore
33:05i shot a peacock once on a hunting expedition did you have it stuffed as i remember our chef stuffed
33:10it with figs and brandy it was delicious but of course i was the butt of a good many jokes
33:15this is russell have you met mr merrick oh you should he's so interested in the new opera house
33:20and such an admirer of yours i've seen him at the met but i never had the nerve to speak
33:25i love your ideas because they so exactly mirror my own high praise from a man more than merited
33:32may i ask is it true your daughter's going to marry the duke of buckingham
33:36if it were i suppose you'd disapprove why i'd say it would give her a position from which she can
33:40achieve great things i read in the paper that it's official now that article was silly guesswork
33:45if she does marry him what will your title be why would i have one well there must be something
33:49you call the mother of a duchess one lucky woman
33:56i admire many things about the english but they can't hold a candle when it comes to your party
34:08it's happening billy is asking my father
34:14you're very confident in the face of the brown banks banks are like women panic at the unimportant
34:20and ignore the essentials mr callum can we help you
34:38that was peculiar
34:43arston you know my wife i don't mean to interrupt i came to say hello to billy carlton but he
34:47seems to
34:48have gone he's changed his mind you don't know that billy
35:00billy what happened i couldn't do it what i couldn't do it good forget about miss russell
35:08they're new money people she was using you that's what they do that doesn't make sense you'll find
35:13another girl who won't cost you your future i regard it as a lucky escape what a ghastly gathering
35:31it's true that he's coming to new york it's true that i've arranged some parties for him
35:36what else can i tell you did you think i would just stay in arizona until everything was arranged
35:41george life goes on even when you're away on business the fact remains billy carlton has not
35:45had an opportunity to present his argument she says she loves him shouldn't we listen to her george
35:51she's 18 she still has her dolls in her room she ran away like a petulant child should we let
35:58her
35:58choose failure over triumph she's not choosing failure that's where you're wrong the whole of
36:04new york society has decided he's coming back here to propose who thinks that mrs fish mrs astor mrs
36:10drexel mrs van rensselaer all of them because you leaked it to the newspapers yourself the point is if
36:16we don't announce an engagement they'll assume she's failed and forever after she'll be the girl who
36:28rushing her into it does not seem right george i don't expect you to understand this because
36:33you're not a woman but i am trying to empower her you think you're helping by caving in but she's
36:38young
36:39she doesn't know anything about love or the world or anything else i'm trying to protect her future
36:47won't you help me bertha you cannot expect her to marry a man she doesn't like she doesn't know him
36:56if she gives him a chance she'll like him well enough i just want to know when i get a
37:01say in our
37:02daughter's life the day i'm in your boardroom giving you my ideas on the railroads and the steel mills
37:10until that day i won't question your business if you don't question mine
37:17have you told me everything of course
37:28you look so nice is there a special occasion for the dinner i think it's really to welcome the duke
37:35back to america you've been spending quite a bit of time with the russells yes and young mr russell
37:44seems very taken with you he thinks he's in love with me oh my and how do you feel
37:55cautious because you don't share his feelings because i want to wait until things in his family
37:59are calmer and i need to be sure but look at cousin aurora perhaps it's foolish to look for
38:05certainty in love your uncle luke would say there's very little we could be certain of
38:13except god so pray and the right path will become clear oh which reminds me
38:22you've been hearing me speak about the pledge yes i just wondered if you'd given it any thought
38:30i have but i'm afraid i struggle to see what's wrong with having a glass of wine at dinner or
38:38jack wanting some beer on his day off i thought you might say that i'm sorry if that makes you
38:45unhappy
38:46oh the scots are upstairs visiting their daughter oh i'm glad to hear it i should get changed
38:59marian do you think miss scott might sign the pledge when she gets better
39:03maybe i should get to the russells i don't want to be late are you going to harass their duke
39:08into
39:08signing the pledge as well he might be interested please he's english his loyalty is to the queen
39:15into the bottle not necessarily in that order
39:21it's cousin athena's women's group in newport i think you'd enjoy it and i know they'd enjoy you
39:28i suppose i always think of myself as a writer not a sneaker athena says that your tuskegee article
39:34as well as the excerpt from your novel has caused a lot of chatter up there they want to celebrate
39:41your
39:41work and she'd like for us to stay with her us yeah well i thought it'd be a nice respite
39:48for us both
39:50ocean air will do you good dr curpton said so i guess it wouldn't hurt and i'd like to see
39:56the ocean
39:57will you come if i can get away and they want me to speak next month oh it's an open
40:03invitation we can get
40:04out of new york we can eat some food visit family if you're not working for the globe anymore huh
40:11well i'd have to ask mrs van ryan first you're right when should we leave
40:34how is she oh it's much better thank you oh god please come and sit
40:46are you all on your own oh my sister is upstairs changing and my niece is across the road dining
40:52with our neighbors may i ask you something we we have an invitation from a cousin in newport
41:01to take peggy there for a while and oh of course you must go and stay until she is ready
41:06to come
41:06back how very gracious
41:11mrs van ryan forgive me for saying this but your attitude is not what we are used to
41:18especially on fifth avenue i'm sorry to hear that but you know it to be true maybe but it is
41:24not how we
41:25were raised we were brought up to be well-mannered towards everyone and that is what i believe in
41:31simple good manners i agree i'm not convinced good manners will prove an effective cure for
41:39two and a half centuries of slavery no i suppose not and good manners did not oblige your doctor to
41:48treat our daughter when she was dangerously ill i know and i'm very sorry about that but i i thought
41:54he would set aside his prejudice because he was frightened i don't know maybe but i i believed he
42:01would act when he saw the urgency when did you see the urgency
42:09well i know we were slow to grasp just how ill miss scott was but after i'd seen her
42:16i did everything i could i'm sure you did i know what it's like when your child is sick
42:24i shall never forget when oscar was diagnosed with typhoid he was only 10 and mr van ryan was away
42:33and i was here alone with just the servants and a doctor who tried his best but of course could
42:40do
42:40nothing well how terrible for you was there really no treatment to be had no just some medicines with
42:49mercury but nothing no nothing really all we could do was nurse him and uh and pray i spent a
43:02whole day
43:02thinking that i'd lost him i shall never forget it
43:13i'd say that we've both had our scares over the years but i think that children were mainly sent to
43:21frighten you isn't that the truth we should be uh going
43:28the truth we should be uh going to be uh going to be uh going to be uh going to
43:33be uh going to be
43:37thank you for your care of peggy i should have known that as a mother you would understand
43:47goodbye mrs van ryan goodbye mr and mrs scott
44:10i'm delighted you could join us miss brooke larry was kind to invite me will you see what's giving
44:26your sister there's someone here to see you and miss cladis he's waiting at the servant's entrance

45:05now
45:08no why not because i don't have the strength to fight anymore
45:17what did my mother say it's not what she said so much as what my own mother told me
45:22what does that have to do with our engagement gladys i'm a tiny cog in the wheel of industry
45:28i cannot afford to challenge the people driving it i see your parents talking with the biggest
45:34decision makers on wall street and i know i'm not in that league and never will be
45:40you shouldn't be afraid of my father when when i'm trying to thwart his plans for his daughter
45:46i've been a fool
45:49the newspapers practically say you're engaged it was the main topic of conversation at the party but i'm
45:53not engaged and my father promised me i could marry for love so you see i have things are different
45:59now and our love is no longer practical
