00:05Miss Gladys!
00:11Miss Gladys!
00:18Miss Gladys!
00:19Miss Gladys?
00:23Miss Gladys!
00:29She's not in the ballroom 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.
00:54You 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 has been all night.
01:27Where are you going?
01:29The servant's entrance.
01:31No, 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 door.
01:36Don't you go down those stairs.
01:43Oh, Dr. Kirkland.
01:44Mrs. Scott.
01:45You are very punctual.
01:48Thank you for coming.
01:50Of course.
01:50Shall we go in?
01:52Yes.
01:55Mrs. Van Rye is expecting you.
01:57Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Scott.
01:58Yes.
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.
02:11Mrs. Van Rye wrote that Peggy had a cough.
02:14It's muriate of morphia, powdered acacia, and sub-nitrate abysmal.
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.
02:41There were two colored men in the hall.
02:43The doctor and Mrs. Scott's father.
02:46Well, 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.
03:01I'm only saying what everyone is thinking.
03:04I wasn't thinking that.
03:05No one is thinking that.
03:06But surely...
03:06That's enough.
03:08I don't want to hear another word out of your mouth unless it's something nice,
03:11which it never is.
03:12So I trust you'll keep it shut.
03:14Are you going to 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?
03:35Rather.
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.
04:10No choice.
04:11What 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.
04:20Please.
04:21Billy, we must be strong and united.
04:24Gladys?
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...
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.
05:12It's a family matter, Mrs. Carlton.
05:13Mrs. Russell.
05:15Won'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.
05:29Not 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.
05:47What if they can't be stopped?
05:49But they can.
05:50And they will be.
05:52Good day, Mrs. Carlton.
05:57I thought so.
05:58Good night.
06:07Good day.
06:13Good day, Mrs. Carlton.
06:14Good day.
06:14Good day.
06:15How are you here?
06:15We must act fast, or it may turn into pneumonia.
06:19I guess we should have a surprise.
06:20Well, she should be kept warm.
06:21I've asked Miss Brooke for more blankets,
06:22and she needs to sleep.
06:23to keep drinking. Our cup can make some broth. I'd like to check back in a few hours and look
06:28again tomorrow. We prefer to take her home and you can visit her there. I don't advise moving her
06:32not into the cold for a long ride. She'd be better off staying here. We'd feel more comfortable to
06:37have her back in Brooklyn. With Mrs. Van Ryn'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
07:01soon, sir. I have some business that needs my attention. I'm going up to change. J.P. Morgan
07:07will be here later for meeting. Very good, sir. Where's Mrs. Russell? She had an urgent matter
07:12to see two concerning Ms. Gladys. What do you mean? Mrs. Russell will explain, sir.
07:21A panic's coming. It's only a matter of time. Stocks are plummeting. There's a new firm going
07:29under every day. Grant and Ward just collapsed. Metropolitan isn't alone. I couldn't let it
07:37fail. Hussaini was innocent. And as you just said, run on a bank can be contagious. I'd have
07:44lost more than I care to admit. Well, if I have you in my debt, then I have grounds to
07:50ask a favor. My trip out west wasn't about buying copper mines. I said that because you
07:54wanted me to believe it. What really you were after was a land that went with the mine. I have
08:01a vision. A railroad that will transform this country, and perhaps the world. An illusory
08:07vision. I want to connect all the major cities of America to create a continuous line from
08:13New York to Chicago and then from Chicago to California without ten stops along the way.
08:18It can be done perhaps, but you say it too easily. This will be a feat to rival Moses parting
08:27the Red Sea. You think you have a problem getting round Marenzi. Well, till you start trying to
08:35rearrange Chicago. It's ambitious, yes. But neither of us would be who we are today without ambition.
08:43This line will be built. It must be. The only mystery is who will do it. Your scheme
08:52will cost more money than I know you have, and your timing couldn't be worse. It's true. I can't do
09:00this
09:00alone. The risks are enormous. But if we succeed, the rewards will be enormous too.
09:12All right. I'll do what I can. But if you fail, you're on your own.
09:22Was she trying to win us over with talk of her father in the institute?
09:25I don't know. Maybe she wants you to think well of her.
09:32Since when have they cared about any of us, except when it comes to our ability to cater to their
09:36every need?
09:37We don't know Mrs. Van Rye. And apart from our daughter, we are likely the only colored people she has
09:44had in her home.
09:47Even so, Peggy wouldn't have gotten this sick if she was under our roof and we were looking after her.
09:52But this is where she has chosen to be. And Mrs. Van Rye is kind to her.
09:58I feel safer knowing our daughter is living in that house if she's not with us.
10:03And we can't blame her for the ills of society. And at least she invited us through her front door.
10:09Which you didn't want to go in. But we did.
10:12But we did. Now, Dick...
10:13Can we leave it at that?
10:16In a gym just for today.
10:35Good morning. Father, are you home?
10:37Well, you left me no choice. You don't listen to me.
10:41George, when did you get back?
10:43This morning. Sorry, I should have sent a telegram.
10:45Was that Mr. Morgan outside?
10:47It was. We had some business, but it's taken care of. And now I'm home.
10:52I'm glad.
10:53Have you seen this?
10:54I can't control what they write. I assure you the last thing I want is for our lives to be
10:58gossip-calling father.
11:00Besides, Hector has a right to a modicum of privacy.
11:02And I have a right not to be sold at auction to the highest bidder.
11:05What is this about?
11:05She's being hysterical.
11:06You say that because you've been caught out.
11:08Don't think just because it's in print, it's a fait accompli.
11:10He's your duke. And you can entertain him on your own.
11:12Gladys has a right to...
11:14And I, as her mother, I have...
11:15Is this a lovely welcome home?
11:16Father, I prayed you'd come back early and rescue me.
11:19Rescue you from what?
11:20Mother's plotting. Look.
11:23The paper says we're engaged.
11:25But I don't even know him. Not really.
11:29How did they get the story?
11:31People gossip and they print it.
11:33The story we should be worried about is your daughter's midnight escape.
11:36What?
11:37She ran off to Billy Carlton's and frightened us to death.
11:39I had to.
11:40There was no other way.
11:42You weren't here to protect me.
11:43From your own mother?
11:44Yes. Stop being theatrical.
11:46I only want to live my own life!
11:47It's not that much to ask.
11:48Enough!
11:49I have been traveling all night and in meetings all morning.
11:53Let us calm down and reconvene in a more civil atmosphere.
12:04You look tired.
12:06I hope the trip was a success.
12:08I have piqued Mr. Morgan's interest.
12:11Good.
12:12And I need your help.
12:13If her antics leak to the papers, she'll ruin everything.
12:18You've put her in this position.
12:19A position that will make her the envy of every woman living.
12:23And make her life a misery.
12:25Is that what you want?
12:26When there are children, they will be among the highest ranking people on earth.
12:30Do you really want that wrecked by Billy Carlton?
12:33I said she could marry for love.
12:36George, I'm building her future.
12:38A golden life.
12:40Isn't that worth more than a hasty promise?
12:48They got back to you then?
12:50They did.
12:51And was it bad news?
12:54It was.
12:55But not for me.
12:58Well, if you don't want to say...
13:00Oh, forgive me, Mr. Church, I don't mean to be elliptical.
13:03My wife is dead.
13:06I'm very sorry to hear it.
13:08Well, we were separated for years.
13:10Many years.
13:12Have you told Mrs. Bruce?
13:15I'm just waiting for the right moment.
13:24Hello, Wilson.
13:25Just come to pick up some things.
13:28Oh, you've come home.
13:30Only to get some clothes.
13:31I wrote to you at the club.
13:33I know.
13:34Then why didn't you answer?
13:36We are hosting the Young Women's Christian Association benefit this Friday.
13:40I've been making excuses for your absence for weeks.
13:43It's getting rather tiresome.
13:44Oh, I'm sure it's tiresome.
13:45But I've told you what I want.
13:47But if you won't answer my letters...
13:48The truth is, Aurora, you will not convince me to change my mind.
13:52Our marriage is over.
13:54You do understand that I will be finished when the news gets out.
13:57I should have sent Robeson for the clothes.
13:59I will next time.
14:00You'd prefer to send your valet rather than risk being in my presence?
14:04Please don't make me say things I'll regret.
14:06I want a divorce. I need you to accept that.
14:08I'm to accept the end of my world.
14:11With the sky crashing to earth in flames.
14:14Please.
14:17Don't you care at all?
14:24Break the rosary in a pearly rain and gather what we let fall.
14:28What is this?
14:30Do I sense rebellion in our midst?
14:32I've asked to see the staff.
14:35May still be part of a mutiny.
14:37What is it about, Andeda?
14:40You are not giving the president's annual message.
14:43Just talk.
14:46Good afternoon.
14:48You will all see my signature here on this pledge for temperance.
14:53Which is a cause I support in memory of the late Reverend Forte.
14:57We have sickness in our house.
15:00Is this really the time to bother them with this poppycock?
15:03Miss Scott remains in my prayers and she supported my meeting.
15:07Did you give her any choice?
15:11I am asking all members of this household to join me in taking the pledge.
15:17I'm sure I need not explain the merits of temperance to you all.
15:21Aidan, now you have gone too far.
15:24Agnes, what do you think our temperance meeting was about?
15:27Mrs. Graves told us-
15:29I stopped listening to that woman the moment she opened her mouth.
15:32You cannot force my staff-
15:33Our staff. My staff. Actually.
15:36And I'm not forcing anyone. It is up to them to make their own choice.
15:41As long as it is.
15:43As 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 endeavors to
15:58prevent the sale and use of the same by others.
16:05Take charge of it, Bannister.
16:12While His Grace the Duke is in New York, he will be entertained by Mr. and Mrs. George Russell.
16:17But will he soon be more than a guest?
16:20Do you think that's what drove Miss Gladys to run away?
16:22It's not our place to comment.
16:24Her wedding would affect us all.
16:26If she moves to England, who will go with her?
16:28She'll need a maid.
16:29I wonder if they'll hold the reception here.
16:31What do you think, Mr. Church?
16:33The mistress will have a plan prepared. She usually does.
16:35Well, I feel sorry for Miss Gladys.
16:37Really. She'll be famous around the world.
16:40Her picture will appear in every paper.
16:42Her clothes will be copied and her jewels.
16:45But she won't have chosen the man she married.
16:47Plenty of people who have a free choice live to regret it.
16:57What are you doing?
16:58I'm going back over the details.
17:00Why? You know it works.
17:02Not quite. I'm sure it will work. There's a difference.
17:06But, Mr. Larry wrote to me today. He wants me at the meetings.
17:10Of course you must be there. He was foolish not to see it before now.
17:14You thought you'd put your foot in it, but you were right to ask.
17:17I want to go so bad, but now that he wants me there, I feel nervous.
17:21I have to give Miss Ada an answer on the temperance pledge.
17:24And not Mrs. Van Ryn?
17:26Mrs. Fortep is outrageous these days, and that must mean something.
17:30So, what will you do? Let them fight it out together?
17:33This can't go on. Would you rather I went up and had it out with them?
17:37No.
17:38Well, someone has to. And anyway, I have a beer most evenings.
17:43Is that unreasonable?
17:45We work all the hours God sends, and now we can't relax on our time off.
17:50I don't see how I can refuse Mrs. Forte when she's been so kind about the clock.
17:54Mrs. Van Ryn will never give up her wine, so it may never come to it. Eh, Miss Armstrong?
18:00Don't include me. I've signed it.
18:05Does this mean everywhere or just in the house?
18:07When you sign the pledge, you sign the pledge.
18:14You look better than you did yesterday.
18:16Oh, yesterday's rabbit blur.
18:19That's due to the fever.
18:20I do remember my parents were here.
18:22They sent for me.
18:24Do you work with my father?
18:26In the way of things.
18:29My father used to get treatment for arthritis at your father's pharmacy.
18:33Often I'd go with him and watch Mr. Scott mix up his potions.
18:37But when I found out he owned the store and heard him advise patrons about which medicine to take,
18:45my world was cracked open.
18:48I don't recall seeing you around the store.
18:52I went to school in Philadelphia, so I wasn't there much.
18:58Good.
18:59Now I can listen to your lungs.
19:03Breathe normally.
19:09Sounds better.
19:12But you still have that cough.
19:14How is she today?
19:16Much improved.
19:17Her 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.
19:23No, that is quite forbidden.
19:27Look what I brought.
19:29Oh, much after.
19:31Just delivered.
19:32We'll celebrate when you're feeling better.
19:34Your parents mentioned you're a writer.
19:36Is it an installment from a novel?
19:38Yes, but I'm very behind on my work.
19:44May I?
19:47Yes.
19:49Sure.
20:08Your mother was very worried.
20:11Only because I'd ruin her plan.
20:15Please don't scold me.
20:16I don't agree with your methods.
20:19Nor your mother's.
20:21But I understand her intention.
20:23And that is to give you an astonishing opportunity.
20:25But an opportunity for what?
20:27To be one of the most influential women of your generation.
20:31I don't want to be influential.
20:33And I refuse to be mother's project.
20:35Let me be my own person.
20:37Marriage is the one way you can do that.
20:38And this marriage would give you the power to change lives.
20:43You promised I could marry for love.
20:44And I'm in love with Billy Carlton.
20:46If you and Billy think the best way to pursue this is by running away,
20:48then neither of you is ready to marry.
20:51What if he were to ask you now?
20:53He'll be at Mrs. Vane's party.
20:56Very well.
20:57I'll hear his arguments.
21:04I only want what's best for you.
21:06But you think that's the Duke?
21:08I think you should consider all of your options.
21:11Including Hector.
21:16And how was Miss Scott faring today?
21:18Much better.
21:19It is such a relief.
21:21I'm so pleased.
21:22Our prayers have been answered.
21:23He will send us your bill.
21:24Mr. Scott has taken care of that.
21:27Oh, good.
21:28Well, Doctor, we remain in your debt.
21:33Aurora, I can't help wondering, does Charles drink?
21:38It could explain his behavior.
21:40Not in that way.
21:42But it might seem better if he did.
21:44It would be less of an outright rejection.
21:46Oh, don't talk like that.
21:47Charles is the fool here.
21:49Bannister, is there any news on the pledge?
21:52Will the servant sign?
21:54Well, Bannister, please ignore Mrs. Forte.
21:57Let the matter drop.
21:59I will not let it drop.
22:01This is my staff.
22:02I believe I have a right to ask for their support.
22:05Mrs. Forte, ma'am.
22:06And do you have the right to tell them what to eat for luncheon?
22:08Or where to worship on Sunday?
22:10Well, I think it's perfectly simple.
22:12Mrs. Van Ryn.
22:14Mrs. Forte.
22:15What is it, Bannister?
22:17I'm very sorry, but we must know downstairs who is in charge of the house now.
22:24Well?
22:25Well, why must things change?
22:26For a very good reason.
22:28That is, I...
22:31Oh, you are quite right, Bannister.
22:34Things have changed.
22:36Mrs. Forte is the head of the household.
22:38Oh.
22:39Well, in a way, I suppose Mrs. Forte will give the orders from now on.
22:48Thank you, Mrs. Vane.
22:49I will tell them.
22:51They will be relieved.
22:52Thank you, Bannister.
22:58It's good to have a decision.
23:01But can we live with it?
23:03I need a decision, too.
23:05I can't cancel the benefit this late.
23:07But what excuse will I make for Charles' absence in our own home?
23:11Say he is ill.
23:13Lack of moral judgment is a sort of illness.
23:15I swore till death us do part.
23:17And I meant it.
23:19Well, it would be easier for you if he were dead.
23:23I'm not sure how helpful that is, Agnes.
23:27But just know we are very much looking forward to your party.
23:32Are you?
23:32I'm not sure where I am.
24:02The plans are terrific.
24:04Will he be the one to explain how it works?
24:06Oh, no.
24:08Mr. Larry knows how to talk to businessmen.
24:10Jack, the coffee.
24:13I better get this upstairs.
24:15I'll see you again before the meeting.
24:16Just let me know when.
24:19We're nearly there.
24:20We've got all the sketches.
24:22What else do you need?
24:23Oh, Jack, we should go over the presentation
24:25until we know what I wrote
24:26and can anticipate their questions.
24:28Thinking about their questions makes me nervous.
24:31Just look at you.
24:32You're turning into a proper businessman before our eyes.
24:36Speaking of which, you do have a suit, don't you?
24:39I do, but it doesn't fit me anymore.
24:41I'll take you to my tailor.
24:43I couldn't let you do that.
24:44Consider it part of my investment.
24:47Jack, the coffee?
24:52May I steal you away for a moment?
25:08How is Gladys getting on?
25:10The war continues.
25:11My mother is a formidable opponent.
25:13What about Billy Carlton?
25:15Forbidden.
25:16She won't accept defeat easily.
25:18No.
25:19In fact, I'm quite impressed
25:20at the strength of her resistance.
25:22But she sees this as an existential battle.
25:24Her survival is at stake.
25:29Mr. Russell, where are you taking me?
25:33I need a happy coat.
25:35I should get back to Ms. Scott.
25:36No coat needed.
25:40I was only looking for a little privacy.
25:49I wanted to kiss you the moment I saw you, so it's more appropriate than kissing you in front of
25:54your cook on your foot.
25:58You do know that I'm in love with you, Ms. Brooke.
26:04Where can I take you, sir?
26:06Where can I take you, sir?
26:29But she was right.
26:30It must be very puzzling for the service.
26:33Oh, please.
26:33They have food, lodging, and pay.
26:35What more do they want?
26:36And very difficult for you, now that I have the money and you don't.
26:39I thought you didn't like talking about money.
26:42Aurora!
26:42Hello, my dear.
26:44Come on.
26:44Thank you for coming.
26:45Well, of course.
26:46Hello, Agnes.
26:47Ada.
26:48Nina.
26:49Mrs. Fane, what a pretty dress.
26:51Will Mr. Fane be joining us today?
26:54Charles sends his apologies.
26:55He's got rather a chill.
26:57Oh, well, these freezing winds we had could have killed us all.
27:01He wouldn't let me cancel the benefit.
27:03How good of him.
27:05And you.
27:06Ladies.
27:09Well done.
27:10Well done.
27:10Of course.
27:14Would you ever do this?
27:15Kelly.
27:16Let's go.
27:17Please manage your sister.
27:23Charlotte.
27:25Have you met Miss Gladys Russell?
27:27How do you do, Miss Russell?
27:28Hello.
27:29Mother wants us to mix a bit more.
27:31She can be so tedious sometimes.
27:33She just wants you to stop talking to Mr. Borough.
27:36Is your husband here?
27:38Don't be ridiculous.
27:40That's the kind of talk she wants for for each.
27:44Congratulations.
27:45You've assembled quite a crowd.
27:47I believe you've Mrs. Russell to thank.
27:49I do.
27:50They say the Duke of Buckingham's back in New York to see Mrs. Russell again.
27:55They all hoped you'd bring him with you today.
27:57We are expecting him tomorrow.
27:59Oh, he's staying with you?
28:00Yes, he is.
28:01Oh, well done, Mrs. Russell.
28:05Excuse us.
28:06May I speak with you, Warren?
28:08Did I miss Mrs. Paul?
28:10Is he?
28:12I thought that was just gossip.
28:13We'll talk about it later, George.
28:19That's smart.
28:21Should the waist be a bit tighter?
28:22No.
28:23Give him a little more room.
28:25And can you narrow these lapels?
28:27I like them.
28:28They're too showy.
28:30A gentleman never looks as if he's trying to be smart.
28:33He simply is smart without making any effort to be so.
28:37Do you wear a handkerchief in the top pocket?
28:38Not often.
28:39And if I do, you won't see much of it.
28:44Again, no signals.
28:46We're after understated elegance.
28:49It's complicated, isn't it?
28:50Not really.
28:52Unless you're a show-off.
28:54Are you a show-off, Jack?
28:56I don't think so.
28:59I never had much to show off until now.
29:02Well, that'll change if things go well for us.
29:04Thank you, Mr. Beard.
29:05Of course, sir.
29:08Oscar.
29:09How are you?
29:12Awful.
29:12You don't look awful.
29:14If that is true, it's all I have in my favor.
29:16Is it the Metropolitan National Bank that concerns you?
29:19Because it's up and running now, and I'm told it's thanks to Mr. Russell.
29:23I have no money in any bank.
29:28I have no clients, because I can't be trusted.
29:32And I live with my mother and my aunt, who's joined the Temperance League.
29:37In short, I am in the innermost circle of hell.
29:44You find my pain amusing.
29:47Don't pout.
29:52Why haven't you come to see me before now?
29:55Why?
29:56To inflict my misery on you.
29:58Because I love and believe in you.
30:01If I could only take that to the market.
30:03You can.
30:04I'll write a check for you to invest.
30:06And when I talk about it, others will follow.
30:09Would you do that for me?
30:11I'd do anything for you.
30:14I, uh...
30:16I don't know what to say.
30:18Say that you'll double my money.
30:20Yes, ma'am.
30:22I mean it, and I will.
30:25And I'll leave the prediction for the rest of your life.
30:28Only if you'd like to believe that.
30:30Yes, yes.
30:32Yes, ma'am.
30:53Isn't it out of our hands?
30:55Let me speak clearly.
30:57If you keep this up, Mr. Russell will see that Billy never gets another job, and we will disinherit Gladys.
31:04You'd do that to your own child?
31:06What sort of a person are you?
31:08As a rule, I'm the sort of person who gets what she wants.
31:26I'm so glad to see you here.
31:28I couldn't hide away forever.
31:31Oh.
31:32Well, you must be pleased that everyone's come, that Mr. Fane has made such a recovery.
31:39What?
31:41Your husband just came in with the bell party.
31:44Oh.
31:46Is that Mrs. Lipton?
31:49I thought he was upstairs.
31:51He's been staying at the club, so I wouldn't catch his cold.
31:55That seems rather drastic.
31:58He wanted to be prudent.
32:00Do I gather with all of this that you'll be spending more time in Newport?
32:07Are you all right, Aurora?
32:08I think so.
32:09Mrs. Fane, I hope you don't catch your husband's chill.
32:15And with that, I will take my leave.
32:21That was sudden.
32:23Charles has driven her away, together with his mistress.
32:26My dear, my dear, don't let him get the better of you.
32:28He already has.
32:36I'm so glad you've come.
32:37I hope it means you're feeling better.
32:39Excuse us.
32:42How could you have brought her here?
32:43We go everywhere together.
32:45Take her out of my house.
32:46It's my house, too.
32:48And she didn't want to come.
32:49Well, I made her.
32:50And she was right, and you are cruel.
32:51Get used to it.
32:52We'll be seen all over town, wherever you go.
32:55Come away, Aurora.
32:56Can't you persuade her, Aunt Agnes?
32:57I am not your Aunt Agnes anymore.
33:05I shot a peacock once on a hunting expedition.
33:08Did you have it stuffed?
33:09As I remember, our chef stuffed it with figs and brandy.
33:12It was delicious.
33:13But of course, I was the butt of a good man of jokes.
33:15Mrs. Russell, have you met Mr. Merrick?
33:18Oh, you should.
33:18He's so interested in the new opera house,
33:20and such an admirer of yours.
33:22I've seen him at the Met,
33:23but I never had the nerve to speak.
33:25I love your ideas, because they so exactly mirror my own.
33:29High praise from a man.
33:30More than merited.
33:32May I ask, is it true your daughter's
33:34going to marry the Duke of Buckingham?
33:36If it were, I suppose you'd disapprove.
33:38Why, I'd say it would give her a position
33:39from which she can achieve great things.
33:41I read in the paper that it's official now.
33:44That article was silly guesswork.
33:45If she does marry him, what will your title be?
33:48Why would I have one?
33:49Well, there must be something you call
33:50the mother of a duchess.
33:52One lucky woman.
33:56I admire many things about the English,
33:58but they can't hold a candle
33:59when it comes to your parties.
34:02Mr. Merrick.
34:08It's happening.
34:10Billy is asking my father.
34:14You're very confident
34:15on the face of the brown on the back.
34:17The banks are like women.
34:19Panic at the unimportant
34:20and ignore the essentials.
34:23Mr. Carlton.
34:25Can we help you?
34:36Excuse me.
34:38That was peculiar.
34:43Carlton, you know my wife?
34:44I don't mean to interrupt.
34:46I came to say hello to Billy Carlton,
34:47but he seems to have gone.
34:49He's changed his mind.
34:50You don't know that.
34:53Billy.
35:00Billy, what happened?
35:02I couldn't do it.
35:03What?
35:04I couldn't do it.
35:06Good.
35:07Forget about Miss Russell.
35:09They're new money people.
35:10She was using you.
35:11That's what they do.
35:12That doesn't make sense.
35:13You'll find another girl
35:14who won't cost you your future.
35:16I regard it as a lucky escape.
35:19What a ghastly gathering.
35:31It's true that he's coming to New York.
35:33It's true that I've arranged
35:34some parties for him.
35:36What else can I tell you?
35:38Did you think I would just stay in Arizona
35:39until everything was arranged?
35:40George, life goes on
35:42even when you're away on business.
35:44The fact remains,
35:45Billy Carlton has not had an opportunity
35:46to present his argument.
35:48She says she loves him.
35:50Shouldn't we listen to her?
35:51George, she's 18.
35:53She still has her dolls in her room.
35:55She ran away like a petulant child.
35:57Should we let her choose failure over triumph?
36:00She's not choosing failure.
36:01That's where you're wrong.
36:03The whole of New York society
36:04has decided he's coming back here to propose.
36:07Who thinks that?
36:08Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Astor,
36:10Mrs. Drexel,
36:11Mrs. Van Ransselaer,
36:12all of them.
36:12Because you leaked it
36:13to the newspapers yourself.
36:15The point is,
36:16if we don't announce an engagement,
36:17they'll assume she's failed.
36:18And forever after,
36:19she'll be the girl
36:20who didn't land her duke.
36:21We can say she turned him down.
36:23They'll never believe us.
36:26Even so,
36:28rushing her into it
36:29does not seem right.
36:30George,
36:31I don't expect you to understand this
36:33because you're not a woman,
36:33but I am trying to empower her.
36:36You think you're helping
36:37by caving in,
36:38but she's young.
36:39She doesn't know anything
36:40about love
36:42or the world
36:42or anything else.
36:45I'm trying to protect her future.
36:47Won't you help me?
36:50Bertha,
36:51you cannot expect her
36:52to marry a man
36:53she doesn't like.
36:54She doesn't know him.
36:56If she gives him a chance,
36:58she'll like him well enough.
36:59I just want to know
37:00when I get a say
37:01in our daughter's life.
37:04the day I'm in your boardroom
37:06giving you my ideas
37:07on the railroads
37:08and the steel mills.
37:11Until that day,
37:12I won't question your business
37:13if you don't question mine.
37:17Have you told me everything?
37:19Of course.
37:28You look so nice.
37:30Is there a special occasion
37:32for the dinner?
37:33I think it's really
37:34to welcome the Duke
37:35back to America.
37:37You've been spending
37:38quite a bit of time
37:39with the Russells.
37:41Yes.
37:42And young Mr. Russell
37:44seems very taken with you.
37:47He thinks he's in love with me.
37:48Oh, my.
37:52And how do you feel?
37:55Cautious.
37:56Because you don't
37:56share his feelings?
37:57Because I want to wait
37:58until things in his family
37:59are calmer
38:00and I need to be sure.
38:02But look at Cousin Aurora.
38:04Perhaps it's foolish
38:04to look for certainty in love.
38:08Your Uncle Luke would say
38:10there's very little
38:12we could be certain of
38:13except God.
38:14So pray
38:16and the right path
38:17will become clear.
38:20which reminds me
38:22you've been hearing me
38:24speak about the pledge.
38:26Yes.
38:27I just wondered
38:28if you'd given it
38:29any thought.
38:31I have.
38:33But I'm afraid
38:34I struggle to see
38:34what's wrong
38:35with having a glass
38:36of wine at dinner
38:37or Jack wanting
38:39some beer
38:39on his day off.
38:41I thought you'd
38:42might say that.
38:43I'm sorry
38:44if that makes you unhappy.
38:47The Scots
38:48are upstairs
38:49visiting their daughter.
38:50Oh, I'm glad to hear it.
38:52I should get changed.
38:57Marion,
38:59do you think
39:00Miss Scott
39:01might sign the pledge
39:02when she gets better?
39:03Maybe.
39:04I should get to the wrestles.
39:05I don't want to be late.
39:06Are you going to harass
39:07their Duke
39:08into signing the pledge
39:09as well?
39:10He might be interested.
39:12Please,
39:13he's English.
39:14His loyalty
39:14is to the Queen
39:15and to the bottle.
39:16Not necessarily
39:17in that order.
39:21It's Cousin Athena's
39:22women's group
39:23in Newport.
39:24I think you'd enjoy it
39:26and I know
39:26they'd enjoy you.
39:28I suppose I always
39:29think of myself
39:30as a writer,
39:30not a speaker.
39:31Athena says
39:32that your Tuskegee article
39:34as well as
39:36the excerpt
39:36from your novel
39:37has caused
39:38a lot of chatter
39:39up there.
39:40They want to
39:41celebrate your work
39:42and she'd like
39:43for us to stay with her.
39:44Us?
39:45Yeah, well,
39:46I thought it'd be
39:47a nice respite
39:48for us both.
39:50Ocean air
39:51will do you good.
39:52Dr. Kirkland said so.
39:53I guess it
39:54wouldn't hurt
39:55and I'd like
39:56to see the ocean.
39:57Will you come?
39:59If I can get away.
40:01And they want me
40:01to speak next month?
40:02Oh, it's an open invitation.
40:04We can get out
40:05of New York,
40:06we can eat some
40:07food,
40:07visit family.
40:09You're not working
40:09for the Globe anymore, huh?
40:12Well, I'd have to
40:13ask Mrs. Van Ryan
40:14first.
40:15You're right.
40:16When should we leave?
40:34How is she?
40:37Oh,
40:38it's much better.
40:40Oh, good.
40:41Please,
40:42come and sit.
40:46Are you all
40:47on your own?
40:48Oh, my sister
40:49is upstairs changing
40:50and my niece
40:51is across the road
40:52dining with our neighbors.
40:55May I ask you something?
40:58We have an invitation
40:59from a cousin
41:00in Newport
41:01to take Peggy
41:02there for a while
41:03and I...
41:03Oh, of course,
41:03you must go
41:04and stay
41:05until she is
41:06ready to come back.
41:07How very gracious.
41:11Mrs. Van Ryan,
41:12forgive me
41:13for saying this,
41:14but your attitude
41:15is not what
41:16we are used to,
41:18especially on Fifth Avenue.
41:19I'm sorry to hear that.
41:21But you know it
41:22to be true.
41:23Maybe,
41:24but it is not
41:24how we were raised.
41:26We were brought up
41:27to be well-mannered
41:29towards everyone,
41:30and that is what
41:30I believe in.
41:32Simple good manners.
41:33I agree.
41:35I'm not convinced
41:36good manners
41:37will prove
41:37an effective cure
41:38for two and a half
41:40centuries of slavery.
41:43No, I suppose not.
41:45And good manners
41:46did not oblige
41:47your doctor
41:48to treat our daughter
41:49when she was
41:49dangerously ill.
41:50I know,
41:51and I'm very sorry
41:52about that,
41:53but I thought...
41:54You thought he would
41:55set aside his prejudice
41:57because he was frightened.
41:58I don't know,
41:59maybe,
42:00but I believed
42:01he would act
42:02when he saw
42:03the urgency.
42:04When did you
42:05see the urgency?
42:10Well, I know
42:11we were slow
42:12to grasp
42:12just how ill
42:13Miss Scott was,
42:15but after I'd seen her,
42:16I did everything
42:18I could.
42:18I'm sure you did.
42:20I know what it's like
42:21when your child is sick.
42:24I shall never forget
42:25when Oscar was
42:26diagnosed with typhoid.
42:28He was only ten,
42:31and Mr. Verne Ryan
42:32was away,
42:33and I was here alone
42:34with just the servants
42:36and a doctor
42:37who tried his best,
42:39but of course
42:40could do nothing.
42:41Well, how terrible
42:42for you.
42:43Was there really
42:44no treatment
42:44to be had?
42:46No, just some medicines
42:48with mercury,
42:50but nothing.
42:51No, nothing really.
42:54all we could do
42:55was nurse him
42:56and pray.
43:01We spent a whole day
43:02thinking that I'd lost him.
43:07she'll never forget it.
43:13I'd say that we've
43:15both had our scares
43:17over the years,
43:18but I think that children
43:19were mainly sent
43:21to frighten you.
43:23Isn't that the truth?
43:26We should be going.
43:37Thank you for your care
43:39of Peggy.
43:40I should have known
43:41that as a mother
43:41you would understand.
43:47Goodbye,
43:48Mrs. Van Rye.
43:50Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Scott.
44:10I'm delighted
44:11you could join us,
44:11Miss Brooke.
44:12Larry was kind
44:13to invite me.
44:15Will you see
44:15what's giving your sister?
44:27There's someone here
44:29to see you
44:29and Miss Gladys.
44:31He's waiting
44:32at the servant's entrance.
44:35Thank you, church.
44:40He'll be right outside.
44:42I'll wait for you.
44:49You don't have much time.
44:59I was hoping you'd write,
45:00but this is much better.
45:03Billy,
45:04will you come in
45:05and speak to my father now?
45:07No.
45:09Why not?
45:10Because I don't have
45:11the strength to fight anymore.
45:17What did my mother say?
45:19It's not what she said
45:20so much as what
45:21my own mother told me.
45:23What does that have to do
45:24with our engagement?
45:25Gladys,
45:25I'm a tiny cog
45:26in the wheel of industry.
45:28I cannot afford
45:29to challenge
45:30the people driving it.
45:32I see your parents
45:33talking with
45:34the biggest decision makers
45:35in Wall Street
45:36and I know I'm not
45:38in that league
45:38and never will be.
45:40You shouldn't be afraid
45:41of my father.
45:42When I'm trying to thwart
45:43his plans for his daughter,
45:46I've been a fool.
45:49The newspapers
45:50practically say you're engaged.
45:51It was the main topic
45:52of conversation at the party.
45:53But I'm not engaged
45:55and my father promised me
45:56I could marry for love
45:57so you see,
45:58I have any right...
45:58Things are different now
45:59and our love
45:59is no longer practical.
46:06The plain truth,
46:07he is Gladys.
46:08I'm not the man
46:09you need me to be.
46:19Sorry to make you cry.
46:22Please try not to hate me.
46:29How can I hate you
46:30when I still love you?
46:41Then let's go.
47:14There you are.
47:18His Grace,
47:19the Duke of Buckingham.
47:20Mr. and Mrs. Russell.
47:22How nice to see you.
47:24I'm sorry I'm so late.
47:25You're right on time.
47:26I hope you had
47:27an easy journey.
47:28It was long
47:29and then we were delayed.
47:31We?
47:32Yes, I brought along
47:33my attorney,
47:34Mr. Dobbs.
47:35You brought a lawyer?
47:36Well, I suppose
47:36we still have something
47:37to talk about.
47:39And of course,
47:40you remember Gladys.
47:42Gladys,
47:43we have much
47:44to look forward to.
47:50May I present
47:51Miss Marianne Brooke?
47:52Ah, Miss Brooke.
47:54How do you do?
47:55Why has he brought
47:55a lawyer from England?
47:57What did you promise him?
47:58Nothing.
47:58What did you say?
47:59I only suggested
48:00you may have some things
48:01to discuss.
48:02You shouldn't have suggested
48:03anything at all.
48:04I asked if you had
48:05told me everything.
48:06Well, now I have.
48:09Ditter is served.
48:13Shall we go in?
48:19Yes, well, I'm very happy.
48:25Father, what does this mean?
48:27I'm as surprised
48:27as you are.
48:29But I'll take care of it.
48:34I'll take care of it.
48:35I'll take care of it.
48:35I'll take care of it.
48:36I'll take care of it.
48:37I'll take care of it.
48:37I'll take care of it.
