00:45And so it begins, the crumbling of the polished facade, the unraveling of the carefully
00:55curated life we've built for ourselves.
01:01Free of scandal and inconvenient truths, of hidden desires and secret longings.
01:10But should they emerge?
01:12Do we let them lie?
01:15Or do we pursue them?
01:17And are we prepared for the consequences?
01:25Who was that lady that just called?
01:30Did she upset you?
01:33No, no, not at all.
01:34I just, um, come here and take your lingters.
01:37Yes.
01:41But it's horrible.
01:42And so is whooping cough.
01:48Now go and do your reading.
01:50Go.
02:14So, I was thinking, Mama, I need a new riding coat, so should we visit Miss Louisa today?
02:19Oh, uh, I think not.
02:23She mentioned last night she's booked up for several months in advance.
02:27Well, she'll fit me in.
02:30And I want to take some bonbons for the children.
02:33No.
02:36No.
02:39No.
02:39Their mother may not want them to have sweet things.
02:46It's so sad for Mama.
02:48Her father died before they were born.
02:50She had to bring them up all alone.
02:52So brave.
02:53Yes.
02:54Very commendable.
02:56All the more reason not to overburden her.
02:58Are you joining us for the opera tonight?
03:00What is it?
03:02Traviata.
03:03Traviata.
03:04All that weeping and wailing annoys me.
03:07June, you should wear the pink silk.
03:10I've invited the cartarets to our box.
03:14Why?
03:15So we can all become better acquainted.
03:29June must be thrilled.
03:31So many young men clamoring to dance.
03:33What a picture she looked.
03:35And that gown was a triumph.
03:37Almost a disaster.
03:38But the girl worked wonders.
03:40Girl?
03:40You were ogling her, remember?
03:42That little chick a bit.
03:43You might have introduced me.
03:45I took care not to.
03:46She seemed awfully thick with Jo.
03:49The dressmaker?
03:50Who's this?
03:50Pretty young thing.
03:51Quite charming.
03:52Remind me, why she was thick with Jo?
03:55Well, perhaps he was thanking her for saving the day.
03:57Can you get an appointment with her?
03:59That's what I'm hoping for.
04:01After June's war, everyone will be after her.
04:05Shall we?
04:06Hmm.
04:17What are you doing?
04:19Seeking employment.
04:22As a typist.
04:24Oh, how demeaning.
04:27I need something to tide me over until I can find a way to pay for Paris.
04:32Oh, you're still persisting with that madness.
04:36Why wouldn't I?
04:46Right before.
04:53Maybe the bug in, you trucks.
04:55Sure.
04:55Good then.
04:56Very much.
04:58Thank you very much.
04:59Very well done.
05:02Good to see you before.
05:03High visibly.
05:04Good then.
05:05The point is, there is no prior incident of a chairman resigning.
05:09No.
05:10And therefore no precedent for the eldest son's accession before his father's death.
05:14So in the case of Joe...
05:15Increasingly at odds with the aims of the firm.
05:17If it were brought before the board, how much further he might deviate?
05:21How that could endanger the future of the company?
05:23The sheer insanity of prizing tradition over merit.
05:26It's archaic.
05:28It's wasteful.
05:29And if it goes ahead, a missed opportunity.
05:31It is not a foregone conclusion.
05:32I will insist it be brought before the board.
05:34In the meantime, we build the case against Joe.
06:13I saw her.
06:16At the pool, last night.
06:17The girl from Venice?
06:20Louisa.
06:22How did she come to be there?
06:24She makes gowns.
06:26June's gown.
06:28She's a widow.
06:29She lives in Soho.
06:30Do you have any idea?
06:31No, not an inkling.
06:33Will you see her again?
06:36I don't know.
06:45Were you told you to marry?
06:48I chose freely.
06:52Your father was my first love.
06:55And when he died, I was sure I would never get over him.
07:00But you did.
07:01Nothing compares to first love.
07:04We persuade ourselves the fever is real.
07:08And then, if we're lucky, we meet our true soulmate and discover something more profound.
07:18So, Papa's your soulmate?
07:21Like magnets, perhaps?
07:23The attraction of opposites?
07:36Gentlemen, today I can announce that Forsyte & Co. has been offered a unique opportunity.
07:42My old friend, Sir Jimmy Buckland, has finally succeeded in his scheme to deploy a tribe from Upper India to
07:47the gold mines of Ceylon.
07:49Carried in the teeth of great difficulties, it should double the output of his mines.
07:53And quarter the lives of his workers.
07:55Well, whether one expires of miserable old age on one's own barren soil or prematurely of damp at the bottom
08:01of a foreign mine, I hardly...
08:02Surely of small consequence, as long as it benefits the shareholders.
08:06Well, I imagine it's of some consequence to the widows.
08:10May I continue?
08:15Sir Jim, as a personal favor to me, has given us advance notice so that we may use the information
08:22to our advantage.
08:23By offering our clients, and indeed ourselves, the chance to invest.
08:28It is, quite literally, a golden opportunity.
08:35It's a risk.
08:37Which we have an impeccable record for calculating.
08:41Still feels like gambling to me.
08:48Are we agreed?
08:50Yes, agreed.
08:52Adjourned.
08:57I'll be back later.
08:58I have an appointment.
08:59Anyone we know?
09:01No.
09:26Is it to your taste?
09:29I could admire the tonal qualities, but no.
09:31It doesn't move me.
09:33May I ask what does?
09:36A more vibrant style.
09:39Something which captures the fleetingness of a moment rather than preserves it in aspic.
09:44You're a romantic.
09:46My stepmother says I'm utterly unfit for decent society.
09:50Your crime?
09:51I dance.
09:53The polka?
09:55The waltz?
09:56The ballet.
09:58Ah.
10:00My mother was a dancer, and I seem to have inherited her...
10:04Talent?
10:05Passion.
10:06There, I said it.
10:07Now's your chance to escape.
10:09And yet, as you see, I'm still here.
10:15I'm still here.
10:33So.
10:35No escape.
10:37From what?
10:38The opera.
10:39The carterets.
10:40The scheme to throw me to the wolves.
10:44Horatio?
10:46Oh, isn't he more of a poodle?
10:52Well, look who I have.
10:54I know she's not mine, but I take her with me when I'm feeling vexed or miserable.
11:00And she always cheers me up.
11:03Is that why you got her?
11:06She was a gift.
11:08From a friend.
11:10Someone I met in Italy.
11:13An attachment?
11:16Short-lived.
11:17Let me guess.
11:18She wasn't suitable.
11:20You were forbidden to pursue her.
11:22We just went our separate ways.
11:25And then you met Mama?
11:28Yes.
11:31I'm not sure I want to fall in love.
11:33Sounds like torture.
11:37Well, he can also be magnificent.
11:45Joe never seems to learn.
11:47He's today in the boardroom, wittering on about widows and gambling.
11:51Oh, poor Cyril.
11:53How he frets when he knows I'm going out.
11:55Shall I stay behind and pet him for you?
11:57Oh, dear, no.
11:58That would defeat the whole purpose of the evening.
12:00The purpose being to dangle June and I before the carterets and hope they bite.
12:04What he fails to grasp is the need for us to be led by sound commercial nurse.
12:08Darling, we simply want you to find someone who deserves you.
12:12We were to maintain our position as London's premier brokers.
12:15The board should be worried.
12:16And you look so handsome.
12:18The board will be worried.
12:19She won't be able to resist you.
12:21I will make sure of that.
12:46So glad you could join us, Lady Carteret.
12:49Oh, my dear.
12:51To be seen in the company of the illustrious Forsytes.
12:54Who wouldn't leap at the chance?
12:59Lovely to see so many young people.
13:02But sad to think they're seldom masters of their own fate.
13:06I like to think we take their views into account.
13:09Tradition is what counts.
13:11Stability.
13:12No impulsive changing of the guard.
13:17But sometimes, is it not a fresh perspective that is exactly what is needed?
13:21Provided the proposed candidates up to the task.
13:24I understand you're an avid reader.
13:27But I...
13:31Have you read Frankenstein?
13:34No, I...
13:35You'll find you have some sympathy for the creature.
13:38No will of its own.
13:40Forced to do another's bidding.
13:42Until, of course, it rebels.
13:51Ah, you seem to have left my wife at home.
13:55Perhaps I could prevail on your father.
13:58Or you could just not drink.
14:03Oh, my cousins.
14:05Mama, I might just, um...
14:07Of course.
14:25I do beg your pardon.
14:27Are you hurt?
14:30Do I look like a damsel in distress?
14:32On the contrary.
14:35Are you hurt with friends?
14:37Family.
14:38My mother thinks this is the place to meet the right people.
14:41Would I fall into that category?
14:44I seriously doubt it.
14:47Do I sense a renegade?
14:51June Forsythe.
14:52Philip Buccaneer.
14:58Buccaneer.
15:07Buccaneer.
15:14Buccaneer.
15:44CHOIR SINGS
15:51I adore Traviata.
15:52Makes one positively melt, don't you find?
16:39CHOIR SINGS
17:05Did you miss me, Pudding?
17:08Oh, don't suck.
17:09I promise I'll make it up to you.
17:12Always affecting, Traviata.
17:15Lost love and all that.
17:20Perhaps we should be celebrating love found.
17:24Perhaps we should.
17:41Can you believe June tonight?
17:45Determined not to cooperate.
17:49The Carterets, our plans.
17:54Will you speak to her?
17:57Saying what?
17:59That there's a time and a place for everything.
18:03And the time for June is now.
18:08She's 18.
18:12She has to put away childish things.
18:18She worships you.
18:20If you tell her, we would only ever choose someone worthy of her.
18:28But perhaps you think your father made the wrong choice for you.
18:44I made the choice.
18:47You think your father is now?
19:04Yes, sir.
19:12Can you believe your father, dear father,
19:13even though he was the case?
19:13It's a pretty heavy thing.
19:13My father cannot rue.
19:15The partido was one of my souls which I will never win.
19:16You must go.
19:21I can't bear to leave you.
19:25Your family needs you.
19:28Your father has summoned you home.
19:31Will I return?
19:33Where will you be?
19:36Florence, Rome?
19:39Will you write to me?
19:41Tell me where you'll be.
19:42Don't stop.
19:46Let's not pretend.
19:50What?
19:52These last few months...
19:54Have been the most precious of my life.
19:55And mine too, but...
19:59We always knew they would come to an end.
20:03Why must they?
20:05Because I am a lady's maid and you're a gentleman.
20:09What, and no gentleman ever married a lady's maid?
20:14You're dreaming.
20:18Believe me, I'm not.
20:23If you still feel this way in a year's time...
20:27I feel the same way in 50 years time.
20:34Then I have your address.
20:36All right.
20:42Wherever you are...
20:45I'll come to you.
20:54Let's go!
20:56Let's go!
21:00Go ni
21:01Go!
21:02Go!
21:24Louisa, Louisa, please.
21:40Please, keep your voice down.
21:44My assistant is asleep.
21:48Why have you come?
21:53Honestly, I don't know.
21:58To prove you aren't a figment of my imagination.
22:04I want to see the only person who ever completely understood me.
22:10Did we are very different now?
22:13Yet here we are.
22:26Do you still paint?
22:32What?
22:32Really?
22:34It's one of the many things I gave up to serve the God of Commerce.
22:40Sad to hear it.
22:43Well, tell me about your husband.
22:46Late husband.
22:48Is there any point in...
22:49Well, were you happy?
22:54Did you love him?
23:00Uh, that's...
23:01That's my assistant.
23:03Um, do you sleepwalks?
23:05You must go.
23:07Please don't come here again.
23:09I think...
23:13For me...
23:15Yeah.
23:21I think...
23:28...
30:32You think we should give it all up.
30:37Thank you,
30:52You think we should give it all up.
31:11what did i say first time we boxed at oxford i never make it as a fighter because i like

32:12job
32:23isaac just curious did you pick up any sense from the other partners what they think of joe's
32:30promotion i know what i think tell me he's passionate struggles to compromise

34:13Someone's looking pleased with themselves.
34:15Happy Miss Carteret.
34:17Happy Soames, if it's any sense.
34:19Which I'm certain he does.
34:21Well, I mustn't be late.
34:23I told June I'd take her with me, but Frances has forbidden her to go.
34:27Go where?
34:28A dressmaker, Mrs Louisa.
34:30Who also does wedding gowns.
34:33Why did Frances forbid her?
34:34No idea, but she was absolutely insistent.
34:36June is not to go.
34:38Well, I'm heading into town myself.
34:39Can I drop you?
34:40Silk Street in Soho.
34:42There's a jeweler's nearby.
34:44Won't you join us?
34:46No, I will make my own arrangements.
34:57My dear, are you quite well?
35:00Yes.
35:03That is, a matter has come to my attention.
35:08I'm not quite sure how to manage it.
35:15That will be, um, Mrs. Darty?
35:24Uh, is Mrs. Burnham home?
35:30Children, put those down.
35:32Come here.
35:38Hello.
35:41Are you...
35:42My children, yes.
35:52And their father?
35:54He died.
35:55A long time ago.
35:57Before we were born.
36:01How old are you?
36:02Ten.
36:03Hannah, take the children.
36:04But Mama, please do us.
36:06I say I need to speak.
36:07With this gentleman, I'll come to you soon.
36:22Who is their father?
36:27Is he dead?
36:30Is he?
36:38As good as.
36:44Dear God, Luisa, you couldn't think to tell me.
36:47What should I have said?
36:50No claim on you.
36:51We barely knew each other.
36:54I saw myself for what I was.
36:56A diversion.
37:00I loved you.
37:01You desired me as I desired you.
37:04And what we had was brief and careless.
37:08And could never have come to anything.
37:13You should have looked for me.
37:16After Venice.
37:16You knew my family.
37:17You knew my name.
37:18I did look for you.
37:20When I knew I was with child.
37:21I had every intention of seeking you out.
37:23So why didn't you?
37:26I read about your marriage in the newspaper.
37:31What else could I do but make my own arrangements?
37:35Error enough to set aside for my confinement.
37:38I took in mending, embroidery, anything I could to provide for my child.
37:44Children, as it turned out.
37:46But if you told me.
37:48Then what?
37:49You had a wife, a stepchild, a family name.
37:54Is that supposed to be your guilty secret?
37:58Better to find my own means to provide for my children.
38:02Our children.
38:07Our children.
38:11They can never know.
38:15Please don't make this difficult.
38:19Our lives need not be thrown into disarray simply because we happen to meet again.
38:31As you wish.
38:36But first I'd like to see the children again.
38:40Don't do this.
38:43Please let me see them, Louisa.
38:47Please.
39:02Children, come here.
39:07And it is certain the children are his?
39:12Beyond doubt.
39:16And he doesn't know.
39:18Does anyone?
39:20Nor must they.
39:21James and Soames especially.
39:23Indeed.
39:25How trustworthy is this girl?
39:27Could she threaten to expose him?
39:28I don't believe she will.
39:30She's posing as a widow.
39:32Good.
39:32And a respectable dressmaker.
39:35So we are confident the matter will go no further?
39:39We are.
39:48Come.
39:50This is a friend of mine.
40:01Hello?
40:04I'm Joe.
40:06How funny.
40:07So am I.
40:10But everyone calls me Joss.
40:14May I call you Joss?
40:21I'm Holly.
40:23I know he looks older.
40:24But we're twins.
40:29It's a pleasure to meet you, Holly.
40:32Are you crying?
40:37Yes, I am crying.
40:41Are you sad?
40:44No.
40:46I'm happy.
40:50Happier than you can imagine.
40:55Sorry.
40:59I don't wish to scare you.
41:01That's the last thing I want.
41:02Please, you must leave.
41:04I have clients to you.
41:07The back door, this way.
41:16Please don't come here again.
41:37I'll see you at dinner, Pa.
41:39I'll see you at dinner, Pa.
41:44I'll see you at dinner, Pa.
41:50I'll see you at dinner.
41:55Thanks.
41:56Bye, 45 Müno.
41:58Bye.
41:58Bye.
42:01Bye.
42:04Bye.
42:04Bye.
42:06Bye.
42:07Bye.
42:36THE END
42:39From the dressmaker Louisa
42:42She and I knew each other years ago
42:45I'm aware
42:47I've seen her myself
42:51Then you know about
42:52The children
42:53Yes
43:00Nothing about their existence
43:04Is simple
43:07And clearly there are consequences
43:09Yes
43:12The possibility of discovery
43:16How it can be used against you
43:19Just as we're in touching distance
43:21Of everything we've worked for
43:27We're a partnership
43:29A family
43:31Let's not complicate or
43:33Compromise
43:35We can put all of this behind us
43:36And go on as before
43:39I don't think you understand
43:41I can't go on as before
43:44Before
43:44I was unaware
43:46That you are under no obligation
43:48I can't wish away two human beings
43:50Francis
43:54You mean to acknowledge them
43:57I mean not to know their existence
44:11For now
44:15Promise me
44:16No one need know
44:20It would be
44:21Catastrophic
44:23For you as chairman
44:25For us as a family
44:27For me as your wife
44:32I promise
44:39How could you
44:41How could you
45:04Yes
45:32I'm
45:32Where
45:32I
45:32Chere
45:32And
45:32Here
45:32Lie
46:12What did you hear?
46:13All of it.
46:23I knew her before your mother and I ever met.
46:26But it makes no difference to us.
46:28You're still my beloved daughter.
46:29Except now I have to share you.
46:31No.
46:31Mama has to share you.
46:32No.
46:45It's her, isn't it, Elisa?
46:48The one who gave you this.
47:12Forgive me, Miss Herron, but in the spirit of our recent conversation, I wanted to bring you a gift.
47:23Oh, they're beautiful.
47:27Oh, they're beautiful.
47:28Oh, thank you.
47:30I hope they might speed you on your way to Paris and the fulfillment of your desires.
47:38Oh, Mr. Forsyte, you've been such a friend to me.
47:42I hope so.
47:45I hope so.
47:45I do.
47:47And yet...
47:52With your permission, I would like to think of myself as more than a friend.
48:04Forgive me.
48:06Forgive me.
48:06Forgive me.
48:07I am well-schooled in matters of business.
48:10Less so in matters of the heart, which, to be frank, has never been touched by a single soul until...
48:25Believe me, I never intended to speak so soon, but your imminent departure, I...
48:32I can no longer leave unsaid what I've known from the moment I saw you.
48:41You are my heart's desire.
48:44I cannot imagine a life without you.
48:50Mr. Forsyte, this is unexpected.
48:55But not, I hope, unwelcome.
48:58I...
49:00To be truthful, I'm...
49:03A little astonished.
49:04We scarcely know each other.
49:06But what we do know might lead us to be...
49:08Hopeful?
49:12Perhaps...
49:16Um...
49:19Then let me say one more thing.
49:22I'm convinced we could be happy.
49:26But if you find we cannot, though, God help me, I'll move heaven and earth to make us so...
49:33I will release you, and you will be free.
49:40That's...
49:41Very generous.
49:44But if you agree to our engagement, we will go to Paris together.
49:49And from there, plan our future.
49:54And it will be all that you've dreamed of.
49:56And more.
50:05Just imagine, Cyril, dear Soames engaged and replacing Joah's chair.
50:14That day could be closer than you think.
50:24That day could be closer than you think.
50:36Come on, child.
50:39Spit it out.
50:59Come on, child.
51:22that day could be more, heart saunter be better.
51:23We want some melody to each other.
51:23That day could be moreян than you think....
51:23To be careful, how does it take you out on the floor so you think.
51:23I don't want any shoes but I'll face you.
51:23I don't want any Being.
51:23In my politics, I'm going to knife us a class.
51:25There you go.
51:30While paying attention, you know?
