00:09It was a momentous day when June's mother remarried, and they joined our family.
00:24The illustrious Forsythes.
00:27Oh, so we like to think of ourselves.
00:31The groom, my grandson Jolyon, newly returned from his escapades in Europe to take up his
00:39role as heir to the family firm.
00:42Much to the frustration of his cousin Soames, an ambitious soul unwilling to play second
00:49fiddle to anyone.
00:50I wish your mother could have lived to see this day.
01:03She'll be the making of you.
01:10Frances was a widow, queen of high society, handpicked to cement our status among the London elite.
01:30Of course, every family has its rivalries, its intrigues.
01:35But on this great day of celebration, we put them aside.
02:06That one is my brother James' abode.
02:10But inside it's not a patch on ours.
02:26You can see why my brother wanted her for Jo.
02:29She'll steady him, put an end to all this running amok amid the flashpots of Europe.
02:35But you could have had her.
02:36I'd have made an offer.
02:37I'm obliged to you, Pa, but when the time comes, the bride will be of my choosing.
02:42Well, quite frankly, why would you want to burden yourself with an eight-year-old brat?
02:51My late husband invested with Forsyth & Co., so you might think this is a natural progression.
02:56I'm a prime asset changing hands, and June has long needed a father figure.
03:03Go and be presented.
03:09Grandmamma Anne is the head of our family.
03:19Do I have to like you?
03:21No.
03:22Because I don't like anyone.
03:25It's a good decision.
03:29What's going on?
03:31This is June.
03:34Do you know what a foresight is?
03:38A foresight is someone who knows the value of stock, and family, and repute.
03:48You must never ask questions, never contradict, and never ever fail to come up to scratch.
03:57Don't scare her.
03:58She needs to know what she's letting herself in for.
04:16Awan?
04:30Anies?.
04:32Which is not really cheap as clown on time.
04:35Bare again.
04:38I'll go ahead and have the mside.
04:42Bonjour lam experiments.
04:42I wanna give her my first
04:51Ten years on, as June's 18th birthday approaches,
04:57the peace and stability of the foresight world is about to be overturned.
05:05Explain to me why drawing is such a necessary accomplishment for cultured young ladies.
05:11What possible use could it be?
05:13It's exactly what your grandfather said to me when I joined the family firm.
05:16But you used to love drawing.
05:19I love many things.
05:20Will you draw me? Please. Just a quick sketch.
05:40That is me. Exactly me.
05:42Here, we'll be late for breakfast.
05:47So, I was thinking, for my birthday, instead of a ball, could we just have a picnic?
05:56Just...
05:56Because your mother wouldn't throw me the moment by cancelling the adventures we've had for the last ten years.
06:05So, what do we think of Charlie Armstrong?
06:10Is that Sir Roger's boy?
06:12Mm-hmm. For what?
06:14For June.
06:14Does she like him?
06:15She's never met him.
06:17But I've invited the Armstrongs to the ball.
06:20Along with the Latimers.
06:23Tea.
06:24Pallisters.
06:26Railways.
06:27Carterets.
06:28Lander.
06:28It's a question of who would most benefit the family.
06:32Miles Latimer?
06:34Horatio Carteret?
06:35The Prince of Wales?
06:36Oh, I'm serious.
06:39Hurry with your breakfast.
06:41We have an appointment in town.
06:43Where?
06:44The dressmaker.
06:46Your gown for the ball?
06:54Breakfast is here.
07:00So, Pa, well, something rather exciting.
07:03And costly.
07:04A racehorse, Papa.
07:06Monty's found the very thing.
07:07And when you know the Gigi's as I do.
07:11I'd hope, as my brother, you'd want to encourage my husband.
07:14Just as when you wed, I'll happily take your wife under my wing.
07:17If ever there were a reason not to marry.
07:20Who's marrying?
07:20Frances was saying she knows a dozen girls who'd make Soames a splendid wife.
07:24Though I'm sure I don't know who'd be good enough.
07:26I believe she has several coming to June's ball.
07:28Well, thanks for the warning.
07:30I'll go and disguise.
07:32Shall we be off, Pa?
07:59Thank you so much.
08:04Ah, Lady Carteret.
08:09Oh, dear.
08:10We were hoping to keep Miss Louisa to ourselves.
08:13My apologies.
08:15Do you know Mrs. Frances Forsyte?
08:18And her daughter, June?
08:22Good day to you.
08:24How do you do?
08:25We need a gown for June's 18th birthday ball.
08:28I hope you received our invitation.
08:31So kind.
08:34Try not to let Mrs. Forsyte monopolize you.
08:46If you'd please remove your coat.
08:48Yes.
08:50Obviously, this has to go.
08:52Sadly, she's been influenced by her father, who has his own eccentric views on fashion.
08:56Like wearing clothes which actually let you move.
08:58So, a tight waistline, a bustle, potentially a train.
09:02Certainly, madam, if I may first take measurements.
09:07Yes, of course.
09:13I've other calls to make.
09:14I'll return.
09:21I'll return.
09:28I'll return.
09:30I'll return.
09:32I'll return.
09:33I'll return.
09:35I'll return.
09:35I'll return.
09:36I'll return.
09:36I'll return.
09:38I'll return.
09:39I'll return.
09:42I'll return.
10:02For half a century, we have been preeminent among London's stockbroking elite.
10:08But lately, young upstarts have been snapping at our heels.
10:11So how do we maintain our supremacy?
10:14By not resting on our laurels.
10:17By seeking out new investments, new markets.
10:19By keeping our ear to the ground for information that we may be able to turn to our advantage.
10:24I have something.
10:26So, Sir Roger Armstrong, Durham mining co-op, is about to croak.
10:33Good God, he's barely 50.
10:34Of course, the family's keeping it close to the chest.
10:36Who will be taking over?
10:38The young lad, Charlie Armstrong.
10:39Well, that wastrel, never done a day's work in his life.
10:43Precisely the point.
10:44When the news breaks, the share price will plummet.
10:46Not necessarily.
10:48Could hold steady, provided there's no loss of confidence.
10:50We should sell.
10:52Our stock, client's stock.
10:53Thus ensuring loss of confidence.
10:54So where do you suggest our loyalties lie?
10:57You know as well as I, a massive sale of stock will panic the markets.
11:00And some of our clients have their entire savings invested with us.
11:02If enough shareholders got together, they could force the company to appoint a steadier hand.
11:07Confidence could be restored.
11:14Excellent.
11:15Anything else?
11:18Have a good day.
11:19Onward.
11:24Obviously, we'll sell.
11:26Obviously.
11:30Your mother is very beautiful.
11:33No.
11:34I don't take after her.
11:36Perhaps you favour your father?
11:38Stepfather.
11:40Is he a good one?
11:41The best?
11:43Without him, I'd have run away to see.
11:48What would you be if you could choose?
11:51Free?
11:52To go where I like?
11:54Meet who I want?
11:55Choose my own gowns?
11:59And you?
12:00Would you be anything other than the best kept secret in London?
12:06I'm content.
12:08I'm content.
12:44My father was a visionary.
12:46In every way, except for one fatal flaw.
12:49His insistence that the company be passed from eldest son to eldest son, regardless of merit or aptitude.
12:54Ridiculous.
12:55My brother's had his moments.
12:56The company's prospered.
12:58But as for Joe, our so-called heir apparent, far inferior to you in every way.
13:06Still, there's a long way to go before my uncle dies.
13:09And by that time, Joe's utter unfitness for leadership will be clear.
13:14Whereas you will have demonstrated your credentials.
13:42going here, Joe.
15:18She can teach me here.
15:19She thinks I should return to Paris, take my chance at the corps de ballet, if they'll have me.
15:24As for further securing our heritage, it's high time you were seeking an advantageous match.
15:29No.
15:30No.
15:32No.
15:36No.
15:37No.
15:37No.
15:56No.
16:03No.
16:07No.
16:08No.
16:20No.
16:23No.
16:27No.
16:54No.
16:54No.
16:55No.
16:56No.
17:04No.
17:05No.
17:06No.
17:18No.
17:20No.
17:24No.
17:29No.
17:31No.
17:34No.
17:35No.
17:36No.
17:39No.
17:45No.
17:58No.
18:02No.
18:04No.
18:05No.
18:09No.
18:18No.
18:36No.
18:44No.
18:49No.
18:49No.
18:49No.
18:51No.
18:56No.
19:00No.
19:01No.
19:02No.
19:08No.
19:09No.
19:11No.
19:13No.
19:15No.
19:16No.
19:16No.
19:17No.
19:19No.
19:19No.
19:44Are you coming, Mama?
19:46You said you'd read to us.
19:47I will, my darlings.
19:48Let me just finish this.
19:59You must write to Madame Grasse in Montmartre.
20:05Hopefully, she'll have a room.
20:07Yes, Papa, but my first priority is to get you well again.
20:12You never compromise.
20:14You hold fast to your passion.
20:17You have the means to pursue it in my will.
20:25Why are you saying this?
20:39There, there.
20:41Set me a place.
20:43Francis omitted to order tripe, and I cannot abide breakfast without offal.
20:53Sir Jimmy Buckland's had electric lamps installed at his house.
20:57Blighton must be coining it in.
20:59I believe your brother is considering them for next door.
21:03Look into it, sons.
21:05I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:20Well, you must be delighted.
21:23The will is entirely weighted in your favor.
21:27Purely to cover my expenses in Paris.
21:30But your share amply covers the lease on this house.
21:34With no change to your manner of living.
21:48I don't know.
22:17My sincere condolences.
22:20I saw the notice and felt compelled to pay my respects.
22:25That's so kind of you.
22:38He was my dearest friend.
22:42I hope family and friends will rally round.
22:46My stepmother is my only family.
22:50Mr. Forsyte!
22:51Mr. Forsyte!
22:56Oh, we are the reft.
22:58I doubt we shall ever recover.
23:00If there's anything I can do.
23:01If there is.
23:02My husband's financial affairs are quite baffling.
23:06Any light you could shed.
23:08I'm entirely at your service.
23:16So, what I've done is create the impression of a corset without the whalebone structure.
23:21Where did you learn all this?
23:23I used to be a lady's maid and would have to repair her dresses.
23:26And when I came to London, I took in mending and set up as a seamstress.
23:31Are you coming, Mama?
23:32Oh, excuse me.
23:33We normally have tea at this hour.
23:36Would you like to join us?
23:39Oh, yes, please.
23:40I'm ravenous.
23:48What I'd give for your life.
23:50It's so simple.
23:52Thanks.
23:53Straightforward.
23:55Honestly, you don't know how lucky you are.
24:06Signature here.
24:08And have you had chance to look over the contracts for the Blackfriars purchase?
24:12Remind me.
24:13Land adjacent to the river acquired by the company with a view to development.
24:17Oh, yes.
24:18Canny piece of business.
24:19This is your doing, Joe tells me.
24:21I can't take all the credit.
24:22As the firm's attorney, your judgment is highly regarded, Mr. Cole.
24:33Please, come for it.
24:35Oh.
24:48Any savings?
24:50Property?
24:51My father's wealth was largely in shares.
24:53He was retired and lived off the dividends.
24:56Oh, yes.
24:58Yes, I see.
25:11Would you excuse me for a moment?
25:20Any updates on the Durham share price?
25:23Oh, yes.
25:24As a matter of fact.
25:27Congratulations.
25:29You did it.
25:31You offloaded every share.
25:33You went behind my back knowing we had agreed to try and save the company.
25:37I considered it's the best course of action.
25:39Did you?
25:40Leaving no time to finalize a rescue package.
25:42So the company has collapsed.
25:44It has.
25:45But you knew would happen.
25:47And still you went ahead with it, disregarding all the consequences.
25:50The consequences are that I've succeeded in protecting the bulk of our clients.
26:00Do you have a moment to look at some contracts?
26:20So I see that the majority of Professor Heron's estate was invested in a mining company.
26:27The Durham mining company?
26:29Yes.
26:36Ruined.
26:38Utterly.
26:41How could your father let this happen?
26:44As Mr. Forsyte explained, stock rises and forces no one's fault.
26:48But how are we to live?
26:49We cannot entertain big calls.
26:52Even leave the house without risking ignominy.
26:57And I cannot go to Paris.
27:08I cannot go to Paris.
27:28Well, shall we go and pay our weekly homage to the Emperor?
27:33I'd pay a fortune not to endure my brother's wittering.
27:37All smiles for Grandmama?
27:38Yeah.
27:41I was thinking to go to Bath next month.
27:44What nonsense.
27:45Harrogate's far superior if you really know your waters.
27:48Hmm.
27:49Is this...
27:50Sure this is real old Worcester?
27:52I think my brother's been diddled.
27:58The Carterets and Latimers have confirmed.
28:00But for some reason, the Armstrongs have sent their regrets.
28:03I can think of a few reasons.
28:05Four pits, 2,000 jobs, and a family in mourning.
28:07Need we revisit this?
28:08Oh.
28:09I realize it's inconvenient to be reminded.
28:12We can't afford to be sentimental.
28:14Can we afford to be human?
28:37Do you excuse us?
28:47Disagreements at the office?
28:48Yes.
28:49Easier story.
28:50Soames the pragmatist, Joe the hothead.
28:52Most unseemly.
28:55Sets of very poor examples of the clerks.
29:20Will you ever learn?
29:23I shouldn't think so.
29:25No.
29:44Dear boy, just can't help himself.
29:48He's too impulsive by half.
29:49For the firm or the world in general?
29:51Both.
29:52Ours is a cutthroat business.
29:54And Soames, you see, and James, they are hard-headed.
29:58Whereas Joe is...
30:00Led by the heart.
30:02But to prosper.
30:04Truly, as we have done, one has to be cold.
30:08Unsentimental.
30:09As I have been my whole life.
30:11And yet lately I have regretted sometimes.
30:16Well, easy to say when one has amassed a great fortune.
30:23I believe the boy has the makings of a fine leader.
30:27Once he has acquired a little more...
30:29Ruthlessness?
30:31Yes.
30:32Of course, I know little of business.
30:35But might there ever be a circumstance...
30:38Or a need...
30:39For Jolion to step up?
30:42Would he then not see the necessity of acquiring a little more steel?
30:48Quite possibly.
30:49Whilst absolutely retaining his principles.
30:54So what would this circumstance be?
31:18The sheer extravagance of this ball.
31:24Of my life.
31:26Of this place.
31:28I'm glad you're aware of the advantages you've been given.
31:31But I wish we were poor.
31:33My dressmaker in Soho.
31:35Her life.
31:36It's simple.
31:38She works hard.
31:39She's an artist.
31:41But...
31:42She answers to no one.
31:44No strictures.
31:46No rules.
31:48No obligation to marry well.
31:50There's no obligation to marry at all.
31:52Isn't there?
31:54In this family.
32:08Uncanny how like you she is.
32:11They're not even a foresight born.
32:14So she might still escape.
32:17Will you?
32:21Who?
32:22On my wedding day
32:24I stood in this very room
32:26brimming with hope.
32:28My whole life ahead of me.
32:32And then?
32:36I became a foresight.
32:45You won't be content till we have a stick to sit on.
32:47But what choice do we have?
32:48How else do you propose to show up our future?
33:00There are other ways that don't involve beggaring ourselves.
33:04Especially when one is in one's prime.
33:24Have we some appointment?
33:27I wasn't...
33:28Oh, good heavens.
33:30Is that...
33:32It's...
33:32Mr. Forsythe.
33:34Did he invite us?
33:51Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
34:03Oh, ho, ho.

48:10And, may I just say, my stepmother is an admirable woman.
48:19Your stepmother?
48:21Yes.
48:25I sense perhaps a slight confusion.
48:29Admirable, as Mrs. Heron is, she's not in fact the primary motivation for my visit.
48:39Miss Heron, I'm aware that your life must be in turmoil.
48:45The loss of your father, your financial difficulties.
48:48All I ask is to be considered a friend, a companion.
48:55To me.
48:56To you.
48:59Will you allow that?
49:01A friend would be most welcome.
49:07I'm...
49:10I'm...
49:11I'm...
49:13I'm...
49:33I'm...
49:39And if you do your lessons well, perhaps when I finish Miss Carter's gown, we might go to the park
49:46and eat ice.
49:48Oh, may we, please?
49:51Oh, that'll be the laundress.
49:54I'll get to it.
49:55Thank you, Hannah.
50:03Forgive me.
50:05I was passing and I wanted to thank Miss Spurne for saving the day last night.
50:08Absolutely, Mrs. Hallside.
50:10Oh, you're more than welcome.
50:19So, you've been in London for ten years now.
50:23And before that, Ireland as a ladies' maid.
50:27And Europe?
50:30Did you ever travel?
50:32Italy, perhaps?
50:34Uh, well, I, um...
50:38Mama, look at this picture!
50:40Well, who are these charming persons?
50:43I'm Holly.
50:45I'm Joss.
50:45We're twins.
50:47But I'm the oldest.
50:48Only Joss.
50:49And the tallest.
50:50Nobody cares.
50:52Oh, Joss.
50:54Is that?
50:55It's what Mama calls me.
50:57Although my proper name's Jolion.
51:09Well, I'm delighted to meet you both.
51:15And thank you again for last night.
51:19Turned out to be quite the occasion.
51:22You are so good.
51:31Yeah, I know.
