00:09It was a momentous day when June's mother remarried, and they joined our family.
00:24The illustrious Forsythes.
00:27Oh, so we like to think of ourselves.
00:31The groom, my grandson Jolyon, newly returned from his escapades in Europe to take up his
00:39role as heir to the family firm.
00:42Much to the frustration of his cousin Soames, an ambitious soul unwilling to play second
00:49fiddle to anyone.
00:50I wish your mother could have lived to see this day.
01:03She'll be the making of you.
01:10Frances was a widow, queen of high society, handpicked to cement our status among the London elite.
01:30Of course, every family has its rivalries, its intrigues.
01:35But on this great day of celebration, we put them aside.
02:06That one is my brother James' abode.
02:10But inside it's not a patch on ours.
02:26You can see why my brother wanted her for Jo.
02:29She'll steady him, put an end to all this running amok amid the flashpots of Europe.
02:35But you could have had her.
02:36I'd have made an offer.
02:37I'm obliged to you, Pa, but when the time comes, the bride will be of my choosing.
02:42Well, quite frankly, why would you want to burden yourself with an eight-year-old brat?
02:51My late husband invested with Forsyth & Co., so you might think this is a natural progression.
02:56I'm a prime asset changing hands, and June has long needed a father figure.
03:03Go and be presented.
03:09Grandmamma Anne is the head of our family.
03:19Do I have to like you?
03:21No.
03:22Because I don't like anyone.
03:25It's a good decision.
03:29What's going on?
03:31This is June.
03:34Do you know what a foresight is?
03:38A foresight is someone who knows the value of stock, and family, and repute.
03:48You must never ask questions, never contradict, and never ever fail to come up to scratch.
03:57Don't scare her.
03:58She needs to know what she's letting herself in for.
04:23You must never ask questions.
04:24Don't scare her.
04:27Don't scare her.
04:31Don't scare her.
04:34Don't scare her.
04:34Don't scare her.
04:35Don't scare her.
04:36Don't scare her.
04:38Don't scare her.
04:40Don't scare her.
04:51Ten years on, as June's 18th birthday approaches,
04:57the peace and stability of the Foresight world is about to be overturned.
05:06Explain to me why drawing is such a necessary accomplishment for cultured young ladies.
05:11What possible use could it be?
05:13It's exactly what your grandfather said to me when I joined the family firm.
05:16But you used to love drawing.
05:19I love many things.
05:20Will you draw me? Please.
05:23Just a quick sketch.
05:40That is me. Exactly me.
05:42Here, we'll be late for breakfast.
05:47So, I was thinking, for my birthday, instead of a ball, could we just have a picnic?
05:56Just...
05:56Because your mother wouldn't throw me the moment by cancelling the adventures we've had for the last ten years.
06:06So, what do we think of Charlie Armstrong?
06:10Is that Sir Roger's boy?
06:12For what?
06:14For June.
06:14Does she like him?
06:15She's never met him.
06:17But I've invited the Armstrongs to the ball.
06:20Along with the Latimers.
06:23Tea.
06:24Pallisters.
06:26Railways.
06:27Carterets.
06:28Lander.
06:29It's a question of who would most benefit the family.
06:31Miles Latimer.
06:34Horatio Carteret.
06:35The Prince of Wales?
06:36Oh, I'm serious.
06:39Hurry with your breakfast.
06:41We have an appointment in town.
06:43Where?
06:44The dressmaker.
06:46Your gown for the ball.
07:00So, Pa, well, something rather exciting.
07:03And costly.
07:05A racehorse, Papa.
07:06Monty's found the very thing.
07:07And when you know the GGs, as I do.
07:11I'd hope, as my brother, you'd want to encourage my husband.
07:14Just as when you wed, I'll happily take your wife under my wing.
07:17If ever there were a reason not to marry.
07:20Who's marrying?
07:20Frances was saying she knows a dozen girls who'd make Soames a splendid wife.
07:24Though I'm sure I don't know who'd be good enough.
07:26I believe she has several coming to June's ball.
07:28Well, thanks for the warning.
07:30I'll go and disguise.
07:32Shall we be off, Pa?
08:00Thank you so much.
08:04Ah, Lady Carteret.
08:09Oh, dear.
08:10We were hoping to keep Miss Louisa to ourselves.
08:13My apologies.
08:15Do you know Mrs. Frances Forsyte?
08:18And her daughter, June?
08:22Good day to you.
08:24How do you do?
08:25We need a gown for June's 18th birthday ball.
08:28I hope you received our invitation.
08:31So kind.
08:34Try not to let Mrs. Forsyte monopolize you.
08:45If you'd please remove your coat.
08:48Yes.
08:50Obviously, this has to go.
08:52Sadly, she's been influenced by her father, who has his own eccentric views on fashion.
08:56Like wearing clothes, which actually let you move.
08:58So, a tight waistline, a bustle, potentially a train.
09:02Certainly, madam, if I may, if I may first take measurements.
09:07Yes, of course.
09:13I've other calls to make.
09:14I'll return.
09:23Uh-huh.
09:26Oh, let's go.
09:50Good morning, sir.
10:02For half a century, we have been preeminent among London's stock-broking elite.
10:08But lately, young upstarts have been snapping at our heels.
10:12So how do we maintain our supremacy?
10:14By not resting on our laurels.
10:17By seeking out new investments, new markets.
10:19By keeping our ear to the ground for information that we may be able to turn to our advantage.
10:24I have something.
10:27So, Sir Roger Armstrong, Durham mining clerk, is about to croak.
10:33Good God, he's barely 50.
10:34Of course, the family's keeping it close to the chest.
10:36Who will be taking over?
10:38The young lad, Charlie Armstrong.
10:39That wastrel. Never done a day's work in his life.
10:43Precisely the point.
10:44When the news breaks, the share price will plummet.
10:46Not necessarily.
10:48Could hold steady, provided there's no loss of confidence.
10:50We should sell. Our stock, client's stock.
10:53Thus ensuring a loss of confidence.
10:54So where do you suggest our loyalties lie?
10:57You know as well as I, a massive sale of stock will panic the markets.
11:00And some of our clients have their entire savings invested with us.
11:02If enough shareholders got together, they could force the company to appoint a steadier hand.
11:07Confidence could be restored.
11:14Excellent.
11:15Excellent.
11:15Anything else?
11:18Have a good day.
11:19Onward.
11:24Obviously, we'll sell.
11:26Obviously.
11:30Your mother is very beautiful.
11:33I don't take after her.
11:36Perhaps you favor your father?
11:38Stepfather.
11:40Is he a good one?
11:41The best?
11:43Without him, I'd have run away to sea.
11:48What would you be if you could choose?
11:51Free?
11:52To go where I like?
11:54Meet who I want?
11:55Choose my own gowns?
11:59And you?
12:00Would you be anything other than the best-kept secret in London?
12:06I'm content.
12:34I'm content.
12:44My father was a visionary in every way, except for one fatal flaw.
12:49His insistence that the company be passed from eldest son to eldest son, regardless of merit or aptitude.
12:54Ridiculous.
12:55My brother's had his moments.
12:56The company's prospered.
12:58But as for Joe, our so-called heir apparent, far inferior to you in every way.
13:05Still, there's a long way to go before my uncle dies.
13:09And by that time, Joe's utter unfitness for leadership will be clear.
13:14Whereas you will have demonstrated your credentials.
13:42Do it.
13:46Do it.
13:52Do it.
13:54Do it.
13:56Do it.
14:28You are more like your mother than you know.
14:31She used to tell me we had too much fire. I almost wish I didn't.
14:35When she died, I wanted you to have a less fraught profession.
14:38But now I think I was wrong.
14:40Had we stayed in Paris, we would not have had to scratch about London for tuition.
14:45But then I would not have met your dear stepmother, and then where would we be?
14:50Lost. Entirely without the sanity of an outside perspective.
14:53My dear, the ballet, it's simply not a respectable profession.
15:03Well, you can't deny it attracts women of ill repute.
15:05And artists, of which my mother was one.
15:08And so must you be.
15:16Madame Lannis says there's no more she can teach me here.
15:19She thinks I should return to Paris, take my chance at the corps de ballet, if they'll have me.
15:24As for further securing our heritage, it's high time you were seeking an advantageous match.
15:29Look.
16:01I said we should go out of the door to stay indoors.
16:04I'll see you at home.
16:04Here, Paul, lean on me.
16:06May I be of assistance?
16:07Sir, how thoughtful. My husband has taken a turn.
16:09Here, permit me.
16:10You're very kind.
16:12May I call your carriage? Where do you live?
16:13Cut me.
16:14How generous of you, Mr...
16:16Foresight.
16:17Foresight?
16:19Foresight?
16:21What if it's Alan Harris?
16:25Clarissa Heron.
16:27Honoured to make your acquaintance.
16:29And yours.
16:29Wait here. I'll fetch you a carriage.
16:34So obliging of you, sir.
16:37Let me give you my card, miss.
16:39The Heron.
16:40Irene.
16:46So, Miss Foresight.
16:48A pleasure.
17:16Tell me about your day.
17:20I was measured for my gown.
17:23And Mama told me who was coming to my ball.
17:26Anyone you know?
17:28A few dull cousins.
17:30And a torrent of people who matter.
17:34No doubt you'll be flounced up like a meringue and served up for dessert.
17:39You guessed.
17:43I brought you these, Grandma Ma.
17:45Oh, sweet boy.
17:50Oh, show Grandma Ma the drawing.
17:58Isn't it wonderful?
18:03Don't encourage him.
18:05No, seriously.
18:07Don't.
18:10It isn't that the Foresight's dislike art.
18:14They understand its value, provided they could buy it and sell it.
18:18It's just they don't care for the artists, and they certainly don't wish to be related to them.
18:37Do we really have to be thinking of a match for June?
18:40The darling girl is an asset to be deployed strategically.
18:46As I was, hand-picked to ready you for rule.
18:57If only I was the ruling type.
19:00You are, my love.
19:08You are, my love.
19:44Are you coming, Mama?
19:45You said you'd read to us.
19:47I will, my darlings.
19:48Let me just finish this.
20:00You must write to Madame Grasse in Montmartre.
20:05Hopefully she'll have a room.
20:08Yes, Papa, but my first priority is to get you well again.
20:12You'll never compromise.
20:14You'll hold vast to your passion.
20:18You have the means to pursue it in my will.
20:25Why are you saying this?
20:39There, there.
20:41Set me a place.
20:43France is omitted to order tripe.
20:45And I cannot abide breakfast without awful.
20:53Sir Jimmy Buckland's had electric lamps installed at his house.
20:57Blighton must be coining it in.
20:59I believe your brother is considering them for next door.
21:03Look into it, son.
21:05I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:20Well, you must be delighted.
21:23The will is entirely weighted in your favor.
21:27Purely to cover my expenses in Paris.
21:30But your share amply covers the least on this house.
21:34With no change to your manner of living.
21:48I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
22:17my sincere condolences
22:20I saw the notice and felt
22:22compelled to pay my respects
22:25that's so kind of you
22:38he was my dearest friend

22:43will rally round

28:00have confirmed
28:00but for some reason
28:01the Armstrongs
28:02have sent their regrets
28:03I can think of a few reasons
28:04four pits
28:05two thousand jobs
28:06and a family in mourning
28:07need we revisit this?
28:09oh
28:09I realise
28:10it's inconvenient

28:15to be human?
28:38do you excuse us?
28:47disagreements at the office
28:48yes
28:48usual story
28:49soames the pragmatist
28:51joe the hothead
28:52most unseemly
28:54sets of very poor examples
28:57of the clerks
29:20will you ever learn?
29:23I shouldn't think so
29:44dear boy
29:46just can't help himself
29:47he's too impulsive
29:48by half
29:49for the firm
29:50or the world in general?
29:51both
29:52ours is a cutthroat business
29:54and soames
29:55you see
29:56and james
29:57they are hard headed
29:58whereas joe is
30:00led by the heart
30:02but to prosper
30:03truly
30:04as we have done
30:06one has to be called
30:08unsentimental
30:08as I have been
30:10my whole life
30:11and yet lately
30:12I have regretted
30:13sometimes
30:16well
30:18easy to say
30:19when one has amassed
30:20a great fortune
30:23I believe the boy
30:24has the makings
30:25of a fine leader
30:27once he has acquired
30:28a little more
30:29ruthlessness
30:31yes

30:33of course I know
30:33little of business

30:36be a circumstance
30:38or a need
30:39for joe
30:40to step up
30:42would he then
30:43not see the necessity
30:45of acquiring
30:45a little more steel
30:48quite possibly
30:49whilst absolutely
30:50retaining his principles
30:54so what would
30:55this circumstance be
31:17the sheer
31:20extravagance

34:33Desk work is stifling.
34:34Yes.
34:35Do you enjoy sports, Mrs. Heron?
34:36Tell me some archery are my favourites.
34:39May I offer you some tea?
34:41How delightful.
34:48So, tonight, at what hour?
34:52Leave it to me.
34:55I know how to time things for maximum effect.
35:13Well?
35:15Show me.
35:24I realise it's the function of youth to aggravate its elders
35:28but could you occasionally resist the impulse
35:30and allow me to take some pleasure in my child?
35:33Can you?
35:36Do you?
35:37Contrary to what you might think, often
35:41and if I seem to dictate
35:44that is only because I was also once your age
35:47and I thought I knew best
35:49And did you?
35:52I did not
35:55So humour me
35:57and allow me sometimes to offer you the benefit of hindsight
36:03As long as you allow me to make my own mistakes
36:07I will try
36:14And now may I see?
36:40Oh no, Hannah, it's impossible
36:42I can't
36:43There's a carriage here waiting to take you
36:45I don't know
36:49Oh no, do you have to talk?
36:49Yeah
36:51Oh no, you're happy
37:05I'm hopeful
37:06I can do
37:06Don't know
37:07I can't
37:09See you
37:11Come on
37:11Come on
37:11Come on
37:14I can't
37:14You
37:14Then
37:26It will take time. I must replace the entire panel.
37:29Please be as quick as you can. The guests will soon be arriving.
37:42Sir Stanley and Lady Carthard.
37:50Miss Olivia and the Honourable Horatio Carthard.
37:58Mr and Mrs Isaac Cole.
38:05And what are Horatio's plans after Cambridge?
38:09I hope we'll see more of him in London.
38:11My grandson and his sister have a very full calendar, as I'm sure you'll appreciate.
38:17Mr Forsyth.
38:19She'll do very well for you. Elevator's no end.
38:24Not wishing to upstage June's occasion, but Mrs Cole and I have some news.
38:30The Cole dynasty is about to produce an heir.
38:34That's tremendous.
38:36Any advice on fatherhood?
38:38I hardly think I'm the expert.
38:40June might disagree.
38:42Sir, Miss June is on her way.
38:46Would you excuse me?
39:12Miss June Forsyth.
39:15I're a good man.
39:30I'm here to press the lid with Mr 아니면.
39:32Give me the full calendar.
39:32Bye bye.
39:33Bye bye.
39:33Bye bye bye.
39:35Bye bye bye bye.
39:35Bye bye bye.
39:35Bye bye bye bye.
39:42Bye bye bye.
39:45Guys, love to you.
40:21Lord, he was dull as ditch water.
40:27Will you dance with me?
40:28Oh, I don't think I should. Your mother has a whole list of eligibles like that.
40:31Please.
40:33Come on.
40:45I love it.
41:33My dear friends and family, we are here to celebrate our beloved June.
41:43Her entry into society for what is life but a series of entrances and exits.
41:50As one steps out, another steps aside.
41:54As chairman of Foresight & Co., I have labored long for the greater glory in our little empire.
42:02But now I am wondering, has the time come for me to pass over the reins?
42:10To my son, Joe.
42:16I tell you this now not to distract from your special day, but to rather augment it.
42:21A double celebration, if you will.
42:23To my son and granddaughter, both stepping up.
42:52Mrs. Byrne.
42:53Mrs. Byrne.
42:53A moment.
42:55There is someone I want you to meet.
42:57Papa.
42:58Papa.
42:59May I introduce you to a new friend?
43:02The most wonderful dressmaker.
43:04Mrs. Elizabeth.
43:08I have to speak with my cousins.
43:18I hope June is pleased with her gown.
43:23How are you here?
43:25How are you here?
43:25Your wife came to my shop.
43:29How long have you been?
43:30In Soho.
43:31A long time.
43:34And are you married?
43:37Widowed.
43:41Since when?
43:43Many years.
43:46Many years.
43:47You didn't think to tell me?
43:53Our lives are very different now.
43:57I must go.
44:13Louisa.
44:16After I left Venice, you promised to write.
44:20It was a difficult time.
44:22We were traveling.
44:24I had no way of reaching you.
44:26Nothing could ever have come of this.
44:30I was a lady's maid.
44:31You were the heir to a dynasty.
44:35I loved you.
44:39You would not have been allowed to love me.
44:45I must go.
44:47God bless you, Joe.
44:48God bless you.
44:59I love you, Joe.
45:07Yeah!
45:08Interesting decision.
45:10But you approve?
45:11Are you prepared?
45:14That is he.
45:18My brother would never have come to this alone.
45:22It's her doing.
45:23And hats off to her.
45:26A man needs an ambitious wife if he's to scale the heights.
45:31Wasted mission, of course.
45:33The firm will go to the dogs with him in charge.
45:36Simply never had the killer instinct.
45:38No matter.
45:39Others do.
45:53So, had you the least idea?
45:59Your father's announcement.
46:01Oh, yes.
46:04What on earth possessed him?
46:06I never knew him to be so impulsive.
46:08One wonders what he was like in his youth.
46:11He was quite feral, I should imagine.
46:13Not unlike yourself.
46:15Me?
46:17Well, rumor has it, on your grand tour, you blazed across Europe, leaving a trail of broken hearts.
46:25And why not?
46:27We all deserve our moments of madness.
46:34And then we grow up.
46:39And then we grow up.
46:40And then we grow up.
46:51We grow up.
47:17Don't move.
47:29Don't move.
47:53Don't move.
48:01Don't move.
48:14Don't move.
48:27Don't move.
48:41Don't move.
48:51Don't move.
48:54Don't move.
48:58Don't move.
49:01Don't move.
49:05Don't move.
49:07Don't move.
49:09Don't move.
49:12Don't move.
49:15Don't move.
49:16Don't move.
49:39And if you do your lessons well,
49:42perhaps when I finish Miss Carter's gown,
49:44we might go to the park.
49:46And eat ice.
49:48Oh, may we please?
49:51Oh, that'll be the laundress.
49:54I'll get it.
49:55Thank you, Hannah.
50:03Forgive me.
50:04I was passing and I wanted to thank Miss Fern
50:07for saving the day last night.
50:08Absolutely, Mrs. Paulside.
50:10Oh, you're more than welcome.
50:19So, you've been in London for 10 years now.
50:23And before that, Ireland as a lady's maid.
50:27And Europe?
50:30Did you ever travel?
50:32Italy, perhaps?
50:34Uh, well, I, um...
50:38Mama, look at this picture.
50:40Well, who are these charming persons?
50:43I'm Holly.
50:45I'm Joss.
50:45We're twins.
50:46But I'm the oldest.
50:48Only Joss.
50:49And the tallest.
50:50Nobody cares.
50:52Joss.
50:54Is that?
50:55It's what Mama calls me.
50:57Although my proper name's Jolian.
51:09Well, I'm delighted to meet you both.
51:15And thank you again for last night.
51:19Turned out to be quite the occasion.
51:20Here we go.
51:28Bye.
51:36Love you.
51:42Bye.
51:43Bye.
51:46Bye.
51:49Bye.
