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?
04:37I need something to do, say.
04:49Bye.
04:55Great tradition.
04:57Very much.
04:58Thank you very much.
04:59Very well done.
05:00Very well done.
05:00Very well done.
05:01Thank you, sir.
05:02Good to see you, Lord.
05:03Thank you, Daniel.
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.
06:28Well, she'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 call to 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 favour 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.
08:37It's a risk.
08:37Which we have an impeccable record for calculating.
08:41Still feels like gambling, to me.
08:49Are we agreed?
08:50Yes, agreed.
08:51Agreed, yes.
08:52Adjourned.
08:57I'll be back later.
08:58I have an appointment.
08:59Anyone we know?
09:01No.
09:25Is it your taste?
09:29i could admire the tonal qualities but no it doesn't move me may i ask what does
09:36a more vibrant style something which captures the fleet in this of a moment rather than
09:42preserves it in aspect you're a romantic my stepmother says i'm utterly unfit for decent
09:49society your crime i dance the polka the waltz the ballet ah my mother was a dancer and i seem
10:02to
10:02have inherited her talent passion there i said it now's your chance to escape and yet as you see
10:13i'm still here
10:34so no escape from what the opera the carter it's the scheme to throw me to the wolves
10:43faratia now isn't he more of a poodle
10:52well look who i have i know she's not mine but i take her with me when i'm feeling vexed
10:58or
10:58miserable and she always cheers me up is that why you got her
11:06she was a gift from a friend someone i met in italy an attachment short-lived and let me guess
11:18she wasn't suitable you were forbidden to pursue her we just went our separate ways
11:25and then you met mama yes i'm not sure i want to fall in love sounds like torture
11:37well you can also be magnificent
11:45joe never seems to learn he's today in the boardroom
11:49wittering on about widows and gambling oh poor cyril how he frets when he knows i'm going out
11:55shall i stay behind and pet him for you oh dear no that would defeat the whole purpose of the
12:00evening
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
12:12before to maintain our position as london's premier brokers the board should be worried
12:16and you look so handsome the board will be worried she 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 to be seen in the company of the illustrious foresights who wouldn't leap at the chance
12:59lovely to see so many young people but 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 stability no impulsive changing of the guard
13:17but sometimes is it not a fresh perspective that is exactly what is needed provided the proposed
13:22candidates 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 forced to do another's bidding
13:42until of course it rebels
13:51ah
13:51you 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
14:04mama i might just um
14:06of course
14:25i do beg your pardon
14:26are you hurt
14:30do i look like a damsel in distress
14:33on the contrary
14:35are you here 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 foresight
14:54philip bacilli
14:58buccaneer
15:23adieu
15:25adieu
15:50I adore Traviata.
15:52Makes one positively melt, don't you find?
15:57I adore Traviata,
16:04I adore Traviata,
16:07I adore Traviata,
16:10I adore Traviata,
16:18I adore Traviata,
16:31I adore Traviata,
16:33I adore Traviata,
16:44I adore Traviata,
17:14I adore Traviata,
17:15I adore Traviata,
17:40I adore Traviata,
17:51I adore Traviata,
18:17I adore Traviata,
18:19I adore Traviata,
18:20I adore Traviata,
18:21If you tell her,
18:22we 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.
18:45I love you.
18:56I love you.
19:16You must go.
19:21I can't bear to leave you.
19:25Your family needs you.
19:28When your father 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.
19:42Joe, 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?
20:09And no gentleman ever married a lady's maid?
20:14You're dreaming.
20:19Believe 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.
20:37All right.
20:42Wherever you are...
20:45I'll come to you.
20:57Thanks for listening.
20:58Oh, God.
21:24Louisa.
21:26Louisa, please.
21:40Please keep your voice down
21:43My 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
22:03Or to see the only person
22:06Who ever completely understood me
22:10Did we are very different now?
22:13Yet here we are
22:27Do you still paint?
22:32Really?
22:34It's one of the many things I gave up
22:36To 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...
22:50Well, were you happy?
22:54Did you love him?
23:00Uh, that's...
23:01That's my assistant
23:02Um, do you sleepwalks?
23:05You must go
23:07Please don't come here again
23:11You must go
23:14Hmm, I preguntas you
23:39Wait a second
23:39You must go
25:09You needn't have gone to such trouble. I'm happy with bread and cheese.
25:12Oh, so am I. And when nature arranges a feast for the soul, what more does one need?
25:20When we lived in Paris, we used to picnic by the Seine.
25:51You were happy there.
25:53Yes, one practices one's craft. But beyond that, one learns to trust one's instincts.
26:02Exactly that?
26:04Not that I lay claim to any form of artistry.
26:07Perhaps you underestimate yourself.
26:19You're dancing. Is it the only profession you've ever considered?
26:24I've prepared for it my whole life. And if my audition goes well...
26:28Your audition?
26:29I sold my jewelry to go and try for the corps du ballet.
26:32In Paris?
26:33Yes, in Paris.
26:35And when would this be?
26:38I leave in a month.
26:40Oh.
26:50I'm convinced he has Miss Carteret in his sights.
26:53Parcheter told me he's on the river this afternoon with a picnic.
26:58Which can only mean...
26:59An imminent announcement.
27:01I'm sure we can all agree Olivia Carteret is an excellent choice.
27:06Certainly fetch the bell for a man destined to be chairman.
27:11Miss Heron, you've known each other a matter of weeks, so I have no right to question any choice you
27:17might make.
27:18But today when I heard you speak of Paris...
27:20Oh, you've got me rash, irresponsible...
27:22Far from it.
27:22I understood the impulse, the desire, and I recognized that I wish to encourage it.
27:30Encourage?
27:31It's true that Paris has a somewhat shady reputation, though I myself found it captivating.
27:38You've been.
27:39In my youth, and would not be averse to visiting again if you were there.
27:46Though my family will no doubt they disapprove.
27:50Perhaps we needn't tell them.
28:08Mrs. Forsyte.
28:12I hope I'm not disturbing you.
28:16Won't you take a seat?
28:23I've always been curious about you.
28:27The girl who first captured his heart.
28:31Not that he ever spoke of you.
28:33One just instinctively knows.
28:36That one wasn't the first.
28:42What made you come to my house?
28:45You begged me to.
28:47And you were curious.
28:50And hoped to see him.
28:51I've never attempted to see him.
28:53I've never tried to contact him.
28:55I've never asked him for anything.
28:58Does he know about the children?
29:01No.
29:02You understand he never can.
29:05It would ruin him.
29:07In his business, reputation is everything.
29:10And in mine.
29:12I came here with nothing.
29:14Single-handedly raised.
29:16His two children.
29:17Whilst building a business.
29:18Do you seriously imagine that I wish to endanger my own good name?
29:21And should he try to see you?
29:25I will tell him to go away.
29:30What do you think?
30:30Something you wanted, Sam's?
30:31Perhaps you should give it all up.
30:34Quit the grind and daub away to your heart's content.
30:38Perhaps I should.
30:41Why don't you?
30:44Ask my father or yours.
30:46Of course.
30:49You're here to save us.
30:52Oh, noble.
30:57Good day to you, Sam's.
31:11What did I say?
31:13First time we boxed at Oxford.
31:15I never make it as a fighter because I like to put them in.
31:21Remember why we became friends?
31:22Because we both needed a punch back.
31:24And I was missing, Sam.
31:29So, brother.
31:31A number of us have been speaking and, uh...
31:34Well, we're keen to hear Joe's vision for the company.
31:38Vision?
31:38Hmm.
31:39The head of the vote.
31:41What vote?
31:43There'll be no vote.
31:44The decision is mine.
31:45Yeah, but must be ratified.
31:46It's tradition.
31:48Eldest son to eldest son.
31:50Well, with respect.
31:52Well, you broke with tradition when you pushed Joe into the chair before your demise.
31:57Even so...
31:57I mean, surely.
31:59You want all the board to be fully behind the new appointment?
32:03Don't think I don't know what you're about.
32:06You have your eye on the prize for Soames.
32:10I think we both know he's the better man for the job.
32:23Isaac.
32:24Just curious.
32:25Did you pick up any sense from the other partners, what they think of Joe's promotion?
32:32I know what I think.
32:34Tell me.
32:36He's passionate.
32:38Struggles to compromise.
32:40Hmm.
32:40But that's why this company needs him.
32:44In ten years, he's never let you down.
32:49I don't believe he ever will.
32:54Thank you, Isaac.
33:06Your father just told me.
33:10Beggars believe the idea of a vote.
33:13Expected.
33:14Well, you know James is setting you up to fail.
33:17Quite.
33:20Disappoint him.
33:22You have the vision, the ability.
33:26You deserve it.
33:29We deserve it.
33:31So let's be very considered about our next move.
33:36I'll throw it away in a moment of madness.
33:39See you.
33:56Po, po, po, po.
34:01Seal.
34:02Po.
34:03Po.
34:03No!
34:07There you go, clever dog.
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.
34:21But I mustn't be late.
34:23I told June I'd take her with me, but Francis has forbidden her to go.
34:27Go where?
34:28The dressmaker, Mrs Louisa.
34:30Who also does wedding gowns.
34:32Why do Francis 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, uh, 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.
35:51And their father?
35:53He died.
35:55A long time ago.
35:57Before we were born.
36:01How old are you?
36:02Ten.
36:03Hannah, take the children.
36:05But 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?
36:26Is he dead?
36:29Is 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.
37:14You should have looked for me.
37:16After Venice.
37:16You knew my family.
37:17You knew my name.
37:18I did look for you.
37:20And I knew I was with child.
37:21But I 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?
37:35Earn 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.
37:55Is 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.
41:51I'll see you at your friend.
42:28I was told you were looking for me.
42:34I came just now from Soho.
42:37Yes?
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 it?
42:52The children.
42:53Yes.
43:00Nothing about their existence is 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 of everything we've worked for.
43:27We're a partnership.
43:29A family.
43:31Let's not complicate or compromise.
43:35We can put all of this behind us and go on as before.
43:39I don't think you understand.
43:41I can't go on as before.
43:44Before, I was unaware.
43:46But you under no obligation.
43:48I can't wish away two human beings, Frances.
43:54You mean to acknowledge them.
43:57I mean not to know their existence.
44:11For now.
44:12For now.
44:15Promise me.
44:17No one need know.
44:20It would be catastrophic
44:23For you as chairman
44:25For us as a family
44:27For me as your wife
44:32I promise
44:40How could you?
44:48How could you?
45:19How could you?
46:09How could you?
46:12How could you?
46:13All of it
46:22I knew her before your mother and I 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
46:44It's her
46:45Isn't it?
46:47Lisa
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, thank you
47:30I hope they might speed you on your way to Paris
47:32And the fulfillment of your desires
47:38Oh, Mr. Forsyte, you've been such a friend to me
47:43I hope so
47:45I do
47:48And yet
47:53With your permission, I would like to think of myself as more than a friend
48:04Forgive me
48:05Forgive me
48:06I'm well-schooled in matters of business
48:10Less so in matters of the heart
48:14Which
48:16To be frank
48:17Has never been touched
48:19By a single soul
48:20Until
48:24Believe me, I never intended to speak so soon
48:27But
48:28Your imminent departure
48:30I
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
48:46Imagine
48:47A life without you
48:50Mr. Forsyte, this is
48:54Unexpected
48:54But not, I hope
48:57Unwelcome
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
49:11Perhaps
49:19Then let me say one more thing
49:22I'm convinced
49:23We could be happy
49:26But if you find we cannot
49:28Though
49:29God help me
49:30I'll move heaven and earth to make us so
49:33I will release you
49:34And
49:35You will be free
49:39That's
49:41Very generous
49:44But if you agree to our engagement
49:47We will go to Paris together
49:50And from there
49:51Plan our future
49:53And it will be all that you've dreamed of
49:56And more
50:05Just imagine Cyril
50:07Dear Soames engaged
50:10And replacing Joa's chair
50:14That day could be closer than you think
50:36Come on child
50:39Spit it out
50:41Of course
50:42I
50:53Say
50:57Helpactiv
50:59For
51:00For
51:00California
51:00And
51:00First
51:00Off
51:00It
