00:41The call of duty, is it to ourselves or to others?
00:54Each generation debates the dilemma.
01:01Follow the money or follow your heart.
01:14The call of duty, is it to ourselves?
01:44June and I agree, you mustn't reproach yourself.
01:48The children, it's not as if you left them unprovided for.
01:54They'll inherit a considerable sum when they reach their maturity.
01:59They will.
02:02And I understand the struggle.
02:05The power of first love, and when there are consequences...
02:08I've cut ties with her, Frances.
02:12There's nothing more to be said.
02:15And for that, June and I are grateful.
02:19So, may we now turn our attention to the carterettes?
02:26Brace you.
02:29Figaro, he's slower than treacle.
02:45I feel quite neglected.
02:49Two weeks and not even a postcard.
02:53Surely he can't be that busy.
02:55Oh, I don't know.
02:57Well, firstly, I'm enjoying the peace.
03:00So much less drama.
03:04I doubt Joe would agree with you.
03:06Oh, Monty.
03:07Yes!
03:11Once the dust has settled, we need to implement the succession without delay.
03:15Why the urgency?
03:23I waited a long time.
03:25To become chairman.
03:28Nothing prepares you for the loneliness.
03:32The lack of a mentor.
03:34Everyone waiting for you to fail.
03:45So, I want you to take on the mantle now, while I'm still here to guide you.
03:50And since Soames is away, we can use his absence.
03:56To do what?
03:57To assure the doubters that you and not he are the man for the job.
04:09When will you tell them?
04:11I've already written to my father.
04:21I told him Forsyte and Co. should explore new markets.
04:24That I intend to set up an office here in Paris, where I can have complete autonomy.
04:30Won't he applaud that?
04:32No.
04:33He'll want me in London.
04:35Fulfilling his lifelong ambition.
04:36To thwart his brother.
04:38Oh, believe me, I do a better job than my cousin, but I've told him I need a new challenge.
04:43You have me.
04:45Am I not challenge enough?
04:48You are.
04:50Let me see.
04:51What are you?
04:54A wild thing.
04:57A wood nymph.
04:59A goddess.
05:02I saw the sunrise today.
05:05What?
05:07Where?
05:08When?
05:10In the gardens.
05:12You went out alone?
05:15I loved the early morning night.
05:18But, my darling, we're husband and wife now.
05:20We should want to do everything together.
05:24Everything?
05:25Is that not what marriage is about?
05:30Of course.
05:32The next time I'll wake you.
05:34Hmm.
05:39Ah, Forsyte.
05:41Is it true?
05:43Soames missing in action?
05:44Yes.
05:45Miss Honeymoon.
05:46Poor excuse, I grant you.
05:48Can I help?
05:49Hmm.
05:49Salon Gold.
05:50Sir Jimmy Buckland's venture.
05:52Soames told me it's a gold mine.
05:55Literally.
05:56Good.
05:57Count me in.
05:59To the tune of...
06:02Well, it's your choice, of course, Mr. Cully, but...
06:06I'd advise against.
06:08I...
06:09Sir Jim has a dubious safety record.
06:12Prone to accidents and human fatalities.
06:15I really...
06:15And?
06:16If there are a few careless laborers lost down a mine.
06:21Small price to pay for such fabulous returns.
06:23Couldn't agree more.
06:24James Forsyte.
06:25Allow me to expedite your purchase this way.
06:30With me?
07:54Mrs. Farrington.
07:56Anna, what a lovely surprise.
07:58Oh, my dear Louisa.
08:03You don't look a day older.
08:05That's kind of you to say.
08:08How's it been?
08:09A struggle, but so much worse if you hadn't stepped in.
08:12I take no credit.
08:14I gave you a helping hand.
08:16The rest you've done yourself.
08:19Oh.
08:21How...
08:23How...
08:24Inspiring.
08:25Inspiring.
08:26And to that end...
08:30I have a favor to beg.
08:32Of course.
08:33Anything.
08:34I hesitate to ask.
08:36It would involve a risk.
08:38And it concerns...
08:40My forthcoming fundraising event.
09:00June.
09:02June.
09:07June.
09:08Philip of Culver Street?
09:10June Renegade of Hyde Park.
09:34I thought you might not come.
09:35It was very impertinent of you to ask me.
09:37But perhaps you think the rules of polite society don't apply to us.
09:41Perhaps I think they're petty.
09:42Parochial?
09:43Irrational.
09:48Seriously, can men and women not be friends?
09:52Do friends accept gifts?
09:58Cute.
10:03Recite me one.
10:09When old age shall this generation waste,
10:11Thou shalt remain,
10:12In midst of other woe than ours,
10:14A friend to man,
10:16To whom thou sayest...
10:17Beauty is truth.
10:19Truth, beauty.
10:20That is all you know on earth.
10:23And all you need to know.
10:31Where shall we live?
10:34Versailles.
10:36The Tuileries.
10:38The Champs-Elysees.
10:42When I was tiny,
10:44We lived in three rooms above a baker's shop.
10:49And my father bought me a canary.
10:53But my mother said that wild things should never be kept in cages.
10:58So she let it fly away.
11:00No doubt to be eaten by a cat.
11:06Well, three rooms won't do for us.
11:10We shall need to entertain.
11:13Forge connections.
11:14Oh, now you're about to discover my guilty secret.
11:18My mum never taught me how to play the hostess.
11:22That's it.
11:23Our marriage is over.
11:25Oh, my God.
11:27You realise we'll have a housekeeper?
11:30Servant?
11:31And your mother will think me woefully lacking.
11:33I'm sure she already thinks I've led you astray.
11:37Led me astray?
11:41Have you?
11:44My father taught me university was a waste of time and money.
11:49Likewise, Europe.
11:51The grand tour.
11:53So at sixteen,
11:54I was on the floor of the stock exchange.
11:57Learning the ropes.
11:59Oh, don't mistake me.
12:00None of it was wasted.
12:01But
12:03now
12:06is my duty to the company
12:12or to myself.
12:25You haven't led me astray.
12:28You've set me free.
12:48Someone's all of a glow.
12:51Must be the ride.
12:53The wind was bracing.
12:55Suits you.
12:57You should go more often.
12:59Well,
13:00I think I will.
13:19So, the hunt is on.
13:21Yes.
13:22Will it be a chase
13:23or a trap?
13:25Frances will have it all planned.
13:28She learned from the master.
13:29Yes.
13:31Utterly brazen.
13:33Might as well stick her on a plate with an apple in her mouth.
13:36Olivia sends her regrets.
13:39She's visiting the Fitzgeralds.
13:41She and young Anthony have formed an attachment.
13:44Oh, how delightful.
13:45That was quick.
13:47Poor Cyril finds it all so confusing.
13:50Shall we find you a little treat?
13:53Oh, don't you?
13:53There we are.
13:56Have you met Mrs. Parker Barrington?
13:59She's back in London.
14:00I'd be happy to introduce you.
14:02Oh, no.
14:03No need.
14:04I knew her in Geneva when she was first married.
14:07Sweet girl.
14:09Husband and absolute zidic.
14:12She and I hiked the Matterhorn together.
14:22And I understand you have an extensive collection of moths.
14:28Yes.
14:29I've been longing to know.
14:31What distinguishes a moth from a butterfly?
14:34Oh, well, in fact, they do have things in common.
14:37Both belong to Lepidoptera species.
14:40From the Greek, Lepis, meaning scale,
14:42and Terum, meaning wing.
14:44Oh, fascinating.
14:51Well, that could hardly have gone better.
14:55June was transformed.
14:58You did her very proud.
15:02Suspended evening.
15:04Do you really think she's had a change of heart?
15:06It would certainly make things easier.
15:08Yeah.
15:34Well, thank you.
15:42Soames, finally.
15:47I trust he's announcing his imminent return.
16:21Not coming home.
16:23On my heart, I shall faint.
16:24Can it be true?
16:25It must be her doing.
16:27Well, you can't deny she's a bewitching little creature.
16:30What can he be thinking?
16:32Setting up on his own in Paris, of all places.
16:35Although, it seems gone, might a fellow step up.
16:38What fellow?
16:40Someone with expertise on risk, investment.
16:44Gambling, you mean?
16:45And for the mantle of favoured child.
16:47Think about it, Freddie.
16:48With Sames away, you and I are the preeminent pair of our generation.
16:54Nobody is to hear of this.
16:56Understood?
16:57Of course.
16:58On my honour.
17:00My heart will break.
17:03How should we live without him?
17:21Prepare yourselves.
17:27Is he serious?
17:29No, he's clever.
17:31If Joe gets the chair, do you see Soames taking orders?
17:34This way, he gets to be master of his own domain.
17:37Good thinking.
17:37No, not good.
17:39Defeatist.
17:40Joe mustn't be allowed to get the chair.
17:42Soames must return and fight his corner.
17:45I need to send a telegram.
17:51Dear Mrs. Forsyte, so good of you to come.
17:55Did I hear there may soon be exciting news about your daughter and young Horatio?
18:01I couldn't possibly comment.
18:05Lady Carter at her cell dropped a hint.
18:10She's asked me to donate to her charity for the reclamation of fallen women.
18:16And I wondered whether you might be persuaded to join us.
18:22Of course.
18:23One must support any scheme that takes these wretched creatures off the streets.
18:29Perhaps we can find ways to alleviate their wretchedness.
18:36They're both very hot.
18:38Try to get some sleep, my darlings.
18:40I don't like it.
18:41What Mrs. Barrington wants you to do.
18:43She couldn't have asked me her worst time.
18:45With all these foresights buzzing around.
18:47She wasn't to know.
18:48I've never told who the children's father was.
18:51If you do it,
18:54it could ruin you.
19:19An invitation to Frampton Park.
19:22Oh, what's that?
19:25The Carteret family seat.
19:28Oh.
19:29Am I invited?
19:32I think we both know you're the main attraction, my love.
19:56Oh, my God.
20:00Oh, my God.
20:01Oh, my God.
20:02Oh, my God.
20:03Oh, my God.
20:04Et voici mon chef, Marie.

20:42C'est sûr que vous avez une idée.
20:44Allez, la tournée.
20:47Allez, tous ensemble.
20:48Regardez, regardez.
20:49Oh, c'est magnifique.
21:02Oh, c'est magnifique.
21:23how could i be so stupid i thought if i appeared compliant then mama would be more sympathetic
21:33would take my wishes into account but but now that's phantom park yes
21:40that can only mean one thing he intends to propose
21:57i suppose we'll never meet again i wish you could be otherwise
22:05perhaps you should marry me
22:09i think i'd prefer it
22:15no i really would prefer it
22:20jim let's be serious how on earth will we live i'd have my settlement there'll be no settlement
22:25if your father refuses his consent and believe me he will
22:28then we'll run away and live on what i have debts no reputation i'm yet to secure meaningful
22:35conditions sometimes i live on cocoa for a week
22:37none of this matters if we love each other
22:43i i shouldn't have said that
22:47but you did
22:58and so
23:00and so
23:12What a wonderful time!
23:31How will you dance with me?
23:32When will you be able to dance with me?
23:34We're not joined by the band.
23:36I have a letter to the reference to Madame Leneer, London.
23:41if i can join them at the start of the new season
23:50one can have too much of a good thing
24:11so do you intend to make a habit of advising clients against surefire investment
24:19what's this salon gold as predicted colossal profits but it seems joe is unable to conquer
24:26his squeamishness i doubt i will you should ask darty sure he's made of sterner stuff
24:32did i hear my name sir jimmy buckland's gold mine
24:36shares currently showing a 40 percent uplift
24:40oh i like the sound of that
24:48the purpose of this firm is solely to make a profit for its clients
24:53but if the heir apparent shows queasiness at its methods
24:58is he really acting in our best interest
25:10it appears horatio carteret is partial to june
25:17well
25:19think of that
25:20when we go to frampton park
25:22i believe he will ask for her hand
25:26and he's the heir
25:28which eventually means of course that june herself will be lady carteret
25:32just what those high mighties need
25:34bit of spark and personality
25:39feather in your cap my dear
25:41and to you too june of course
25:44assuming her father consents
25:47why wouldn't he
25:49can you think of a reason
25:52not unless june can
25:57my love
26:02sorry
26:03it's miles away
26:04what was the question
26:07is there any reason i shouldn't consent to you marrying horatio carteret
26:13yes i believe there is
26:15on account of the fact that i'm already engaged
26:22his name's philip bassini
26:23he's an architect
26:25one of the new school and very bright
26:28he lives on culver street
26:30it's also his office
26:32he's still awaiting his first commission
26:34but he's so talented
26:36he's sure to be in great demand once the one
26:38darling that's enough
26:40no one finds this remotely amusing
26:42i don't know
26:45i met him at the opera
26:47he's a modernist
26:49and utterly rejects outmoded traditions
26:51such as
26:52asking your father for his daughter's hand before he proposes
26:56well actually
26:58i proposed
26:59well of course you did
27:02am i to understand there's actually some truth to this ridiculous
27:09june
27:10what are you doing
27:13following my heart
27:17oh dear
27:17but how did
27:20where could you tell her
27:22it's out of the question
27:23june
27:24a word please
27:35did you know anything about this
27:37why would i
27:37oh we know she likes to confide in you
27:40oh
27:42perhaps she thought i'd disapprove
27:44which obviously you do
27:52you don't understand
27:53it's not like
27:55anyone i've ever known
27:56he cares
27:57about things that matter
27:59about right and wrong
28:00he doesn't want to control me
28:02he wants me to be just
28:03who i am
28:04and that's unlike anyone you've ever known
28:05yes
28:14so i should meet him
28:15thank you
28:16you
28:16you
28:16you
28:17you
28:18you
29:59What is it?
30:04Why are you looking at me like that?
30:08May a man not look upon his most treasured possession.
30:13Am I really such a thing?
30:16And more.
30:41How could I have done this?
30:45I failed to communicate the foresight imperative.
30:50Seize the crown, lead, instead of playing second fiddle.
30:59What's been the point of my life if not to set my son on the chair?
31:03Is that what you put in your telegram?
31:07Obviously not.
31:09I told him if he didn't take the next train home from Paris, I'd come and drag him home by
31:12his ear load.
31:14Oh, well, that'll do it.
31:25This way, sir.
31:31Oh, Mr. Bassini.
31:36Please.
31:46Ladies, you've done me the honor of inviting me to join your campaign.
31:53And while I suspect that the scale of my donation may have influenced your choice,
32:00I hope I may have something more than guineas to offer.
32:16No doubt you think we'd be presumptuous, daring to aspire to the hand of an heiress.
32:22As you can see, my cuff's afraid, my coat is worn, and to demonstrate the gulf between us,
32:27you invite me to a place whose membership fee is four times my annual salary.
32:32Actually, I chose it because it's around the corner from your office.
32:39Tell me about yourself.
32:47I'm a radical.
32:50I've declined, bowed convention.
32:55My family's undistinguished.
32:57My studies have left me in debt, so if you've come here to tell me that I must look elsewhere,
33:01I can't...
33:01I've come here to ask why you love my daughter.
33:10I've never met anyone like her.
33:13We see the world in the same way.
33:17She's spirited and brave, and, yes, I love her.
33:22And if you don't believe me, then...
33:24Oh, what if I do believe you?
33:27You've supported this cause long before I arrived.
33:31The hostels you fund for the women you save.
33:34The clergy you pay to instruct them in the error of their ways.
33:39The homes you find amongst the childless gentry for their wretched offspring.
33:44No one can doubt the rigor of your purpose.
33:48But what is the ultimate aim of your charity?
33:51Punishment, moral superiority, or material assistance?
33:57Let me introduce to you a lady whose history you may find instructive.
34:10As some of you know me, you honour me with your custom and kind enough to invite me into your
34:17homes.
34:17Ten years ago, I was penniless.
34:20Homeless.
34:22Mrs. Parker Barrington heard of my distress.
34:26She could have judged me.
34:28Made a reckoning of my failings.
34:30But instead, she asked me how she could help.
34:33She found me lodgings.
34:34A midwife.
34:36Sustenance.
34:36She asked me what skills I possessed and employed me as a dressmaker.
34:40Recommended me to her friends.
34:42Many of you have helped to make me what I am today.
34:46Not a burden on society.
34:49But a contributor.
34:52Heartwarming story.
34:54But there's a vast difference between you and the women that we try to help.
34:59You are not what we call fallen.
35:02And if I was, would I deserve the workhouse?
35:05My children removed.
35:06Myself consigned to penitence and shame.
35:09Widowhood and poverty are not sins.
35:19I wasn't a widow.
35:24My children were born out of wedlock.
35:28Their father...
35:39Died.
35:41Before they were born.
35:47Now do you judge me?
35:50Do I appear less deserving to you now?
35:54Not to me.
35:57And not, I hope, to any here.
36:03Thank you so much.
36:45Forgive me, I must go.
36:54You don't strike me as a fortune hunter, how would you support her?
37:03I will, that is at present, and I can't, but I have prospects, I'm currently seeking
37:10a major commission, but is money the be-all and end-all?
37:15It is for those who are used to it.
37:20I can't agree to this marriage, until you've completed your first commission, till then
37:31I consent to an engagement.
37:35I have no doubt we'll be seeing a lot of each other.
38:02I'm here in my diamonds, I'm here now.
38:10You agreed to an engagement, why?
38:16He's impulsive, argumentative, and currently without means, could be years before he makes
38:22his first commission.
38:23Exactly.
38:24And by then the romance would have lost his sheen, or stood the test of time.
38:29And you're willing to take that chance?
38:34What is this?
38:37You living vicariously, allowing June to do what you always regretted not doing?
38:45Not in the slightest.
38:49I'm holding at peace with my decision.
39:01I knew it.
39:02You were never going to consent because you've no idea how it feels to truly follow your heart.
39:08So go on, tell me!
39:20We give you permission to get engaged.
39:31And now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier.
39:45Is there a pact to lower the tone of this family?
39:51First Soames, now June.
39:54There's no one regard for pedigree.
39:57You'll note the lack of announcement.
40:00June's engagement?
40:01No surprise.
40:03I wouldn't advertise such a mismatch.
40:06No wonder the engagement parties close family only.
40:10Poor Frances had such high hopes.
40:13She must be so disappointed.
40:21Did I ever tell you that when I was five I fell into the Seine?
40:25Where were your parents?
40:27Beside me.
40:28But I could swim so my mother was happy for me to take risks.
40:31She was a gambler.
40:32Mm-hmm.
40:33Like you?
40:34With other people's money?
40:35I take a calculated risk.
40:38Oh!
40:39Like chancing your happiness for someone you barely know.
40:44Come with me.
40:46I have a surprise.
40:51Isaac mentioned June's engagement.
40:54Oh, we couldn't be more delighted.
40:56Of course, June could have had her pick, but we believe that young people should follow their hearts.
41:01Oh, I wholly agree.
41:03I want to thank you for joining us the other day.
41:06I hope you were persuaded of the cause.
41:11Dear Louisa, she's such a shining example of what can be achieved.
41:16Yes.
41:17Yes.
41:18Very commendable.
41:20Still, it's a struggle with two little ones to take care of.
41:24I mean, they both go down with a fever.
41:27Well, I'm so sorry.
41:28I have to dash.
41:30I'm expected at the Devonshires for lunch.
41:44Are they very sick?
41:45Scarlet fever.
41:48Apparently.
41:50Poor darlings.
42:17I won't go down the road.
44:47And when we're settled in our new apartment, should we invite your family to come visit?
44:51Yes.
44:52Yes, of course.
44:55My love, there's something I haven't mentioned.
45:01A telegram from my father.
45:03Is he well?
45:05Beside himself.
45:06Huh.
45:07But I told him my plans in a letter when I should have done it face to face.
45:11What was I thinking?
45:14I believe I must return.
45:18Cut short on honeymoon.
45:21And my audition, should I rearrange?
45:23By all means.
45:24But you must see I owe my father an explanation.
45:28I'm a person.
45:33Of course.
45:35Of course, I do see that.
45:38So let's return to London and settle things.
45:42Once and for all.
45:49Come on.
46:12How do we know that this fellow
46:14isn't some money-grubbing opportunist?
46:19What's Frances thinking?
46:21She will know that when the heart is set on something,
46:25the more it's forbidden, the more it's craved.
46:30Surely you don't imagine June wants this boy
46:34just to prove she can have it?
46:37I once knew a couple of young men who pursued the same girl
46:42simply so the other wouldn't get her.
46:47Let me fetch you a drink.
47:04Something amiss?
47:06What?
47:08Nothing to concern you.
47:13No one would believe we used to be best of friends.
47:16It was a long time ago.
47:19Before the old man pitted us against each other.
47:23Yes.
47:24Shape up.
47:25Make sacrifices.
47:27Was it a sacrifice?
47:30For you?
47:33Alexandra.
47:39No more than it was for you.
47:42Do you sometimes wonder where she disappeared to?
47:46As do I.
47:49Still,
47:50it all turned out for the best.
47:54Emily and you.
47:56Edith and I.
47:58Yes.
48:00Splendid women.
48:04Saved us from ourselves.
48:12I almost feel sorry for him.
48:14Don't.
48:16Did you see his hat?
48:18Left it on a chair and Emily must have stuck it for a cat.
48:25Uncle James,
48:27you look as if you'd like to commission a new house
48:29and here's Phil
48:30just brimming with clever ideas.
48:32I suspect your uncle's perfectly content
48:34with his own house.
48:35But should the opportunity ever arise,
48:37I'm sure you could come to my office
48:39and view my portfolio.
48:40There, now.
48:41What a kind invitation.
48:45Well,
48:46here we are.
48:47Frances and I ask you to join us
48:49in raising a glass
48:50to the newly engaged couple.
48:53June and Philip.
48:55June and Philip.
49:03How to thwart a rebel,
49:05take away their cause.
50:30Are they?
50:35Please tell me they're not.
50:38They're not.
50:40Their fever's past, they're sleeping.
50:45Thank God.
