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

24:17i've been confused
24:20ignored
24:21disrespected
24:23in my time
24:24oh but trust me
24:26i'm under no illusion
24:28it is my wealth
24:30my standing
24:31which now confers power
24:33commands respect
24:35demands attention
24:36my late husband
24:39owned woolen mills
24:41in the north
24:42once viewed his workers as commodities
24:46expendable
24:47but he was brought to see them
24:50as precious human souls
24:53worthy of respect
24:56of dignity
24:58of proper recompense
25:02so
25:04change is possible
25:07and i owe those who have not been as fortunate as i
25:11to challenge

29:13item five
29:16reputational risk and remedial action
29:21yes
29:22i'm afraid
29:23there have been alarming rumors implicating one of our own which
29:27should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients could lead them to take their business
29:32elsewhere
29:33what rumors are these
29:35concerning a senior partner
29:39debauching a serving man
29:41that is not what happened
29:42that is not who she was and those are not the circumstances
29:44and for those of you as yet
29:46in the dark
29:47my nephew
29:54i had a relationship prior to my marriage with a young woman i met in bernice
29:58some days ago i learned that
29:59when we parted she was with child
30:02twins to be precise
30:04now ten years of age living with her mother in london
30:08and distasteful
30:09as some of you doubtless may find it
30:11distasteful
30:12try scandalous
30:14inexcusable
30:15what we can't ignore is that many of our clients will
30:18find such a liaison
30:20distasteful
30:21but of course they will
30:25because such things have never happened in respectable families
30:29good lord
30:30what a nurse
30:31and it'll be the first misstep
30:33that this family has never made
30:36oh ma for goodness sake
30:37gentlemen
30:38please
30:42may i ask what brings you here today
30:44curiosity
30:46this is most irregular
30:48we do not admit ladies into the inner sanctum
30:52oh the inner sanctum
30:55it solely exists because i paid for it
30:59can i not see what my marriage settlement bought
31:03mater
31:05the matter in hand
31:07concerns the irrevocable damage to company reputation should joe remain within its ranks
31:12we are inviting him
31:14to step away
31:15for the good of the family name
31:18oh the good of the family name
31:20ah
31:22our sainted family
31:25devoid of scandal
31:28closets
31:30skeletal remains
31:35yes but the effect
31:37the damage to our reputation
31:39there will be no damage
31:40the matter can be hushed up
31:41and the girl paid off
31:42please allow me to deal with this
31:48if we could be certain of the girl's discretion we could agree to turn a blind eye
31:55but
31:56though i trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of company funds
32:02rest assured
32:03i have no intention of asking anyone here to take responsibility for my obligations
32:09the fact remains i had two children
32:13of whom i'm not ashamed
32:15nor of myself
32:17nor of myself
33:04i have no intention of asking anyone here to come out of company
33:06i have no intention of asking anyone here to come out of company
33:13didn't you have the right to deprive them by refusing my support
33:16deprive them
33:17did they look deprived
33:20no that's not what i meant
33:21can i not want them to have a better life
33:24have you given at the slightest thought to how my life has been since we parted
33:31no i can only imagine

34:47They are.
34:50If you told me, I would have come for you.
34:54Your family would have cut you off.
34:56You'd be living in disgrace.
34:58And knowing all of that, I still would have come.
35:03Wasn't to be.
35:04No, it wasn't.
35:08Goodbye, Joe.
35:09Goodbye.
35:12Goodbye.
35:23Goodbye.
35:30Goodbye.
35:31Goodbye.
35:54Is there any case?
36:01Can I be of assistance?
36:05I won't get.
36:12Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?
36:31I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills.
36:35Even a stepfather with feet of clay.
36:40He's utterly betrayed me.
36:43I can see it must seem that way.
36:45If you'd seen him, with them, smiling adoringly, as if I didn't even exist.
36:56You exist to me, Miss Renegade.
36:59I do.
37:02I see you.
37:04Clear as day.
37:10I should go.
37:12I really shouldn't be here at all.
37:14Well, I'm glad you were.
37:15I'm glad you're here.
37:57Come.
38:05I've brought Miss Heron to see you.
38:07I congratulate you.
38:10Thank you, Grandmama.
38:13For catching them all unawares.
38:16But not you.
38:18The Carteret girl was too obvious.
38:21Not your type at all.
38:27Bring her to me.
38:43I just spoke to your father.
38:47Don't you want to know how it went?
38:48The vote?
38:54I can guess.
38:57In your favour.
38:59How?
39:00You're not to be expelled.
39:02So the chairmanship can now be yours.
39:09You must see what this now affords us.
39:14A golden opportunity.
39:18For you to recommit.
39:21To your family.
39:23The firm.
39:27Our life together.
39:37How do you see that?
39:40My commitment to you and June is absolute.
39:50So tell me, my dear.
39:55Are you prepared?
39:57For what?
39:59The Forsyte family.
40:01Are you aware of its peculiarities?
40:04Everyone has been welcoming.
40:07And Soames?
40:09What do you know of him?
40:11What can you tell me?
40:16Soames has never loved before.
40:19That he does so now is significant.
40:22You will want for nothing.
40:24You'll be mistress of all you survey.
40:27My wants are modest.
40:29And what are those wants?
40:31To love and be loved.
40:34To trust and be trusted.
40:37To dance.
40:39And it will be a dance.
40:43Whether the Pavan or a Tarantella.
40:46Or a Padida.
40:51And you?
40:54Are you in love?
40:55Oh.
40:59I have tremors.
41:01My pulse races and I feel faint.
41:04Some poets call that love.
41:07What would you call it?
41:10A prelude.
41:13To something deeper.
41:18I hope you find it.
41:29I trust she wasn't too fierce.
41:32She was kind.
41:35You didn't mention Paris.
41:37Should I have done?
41:39Time enough to address that when we're there together.
41:42Planning our future.
41:48To our wedding day.
41:49To our wedding day.
42:13So, do we think this wedding is a love match?
42:17how can anyone not marry for love
42:22because love is only part of what makes a marriage
42:27respect
42:29patience
