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.
05:56Uniqueful.
06:02Uniqueful.
06:06Uniqueful.
06:12Th rewarding.
06:16Yeah.
06:19Bye!
06:21Honey!
06:21Your dog Цук?
06:21for more blankets and she needs to keep drinking our cup can make some broth i'd like to check back
06:27in a few hours and looking again tomorrow we prefer to take her home and you can visit her there
06:31i don't advise moving her not into the cold for a long ride she'd be better off staying here we'd
06:36feel more comfortable to have her back in brooklyn with this is van ryan's permission she will stay
06:41here until you say otherwise i'll see you later on if that's all right it's more than all right
06:47thank you for everything william we are certainly in your debt
06:59we weren't expecting you to return so soon sir i have some business that needs my attention
07:04i'm going up to change jp morgan will be here later for meeting very good sir
07:09where's mrs russell she had an urgent matter to seek to concerning miss gladys what do you mean
07:16mrs russell will explain sir
07:21the panic's coming it's only a matter of time stocks are plummeting
07:28there's a new firm going under every day grant and ward just collapsed metropolitan isn't alone
07:36i couldn't let it fail saying he was innocent and as you just said
07:41run on a bank can be contagious i'd have lost more than i care to admit well if i have
07:47you in my debt
07:49then i have grounds to ask a favor my trip out west wasn't about buying copper mines
07:53i said because you wanted me to believe it what really you're after was a land that went with the
07:58mines i have a vision a railroad that will transform this country and perhaps the world an illusory
08:08vision i want to connect all the major cities of america to create a continuous line from new
08:14north to chicago and then from chicago to california without 10 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
08:27sea you think you have a problem getting around marency well till you start trying to rearrange chicago
08:37it'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
08:51your scheme will cost more money than i know you have and your timing couldn't be worse
08:57it's true i can't do this alone
09:02the 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
09:22you're trying to win this over with talk of her father in the institute i don't know
09:27maybe she wants you to think well of her
09:31since when have they cared about any of us except when it comes to our ability to cater to their
09:36every
09:37need we don't know mrs van ryan and apart from our daughter we are likely the only colored people
09:44she has had in her home even so i think it wouldn't have gotten this sick if she was under
09:50our roof and
09:51we were looking after her but this is where she has chosen to be and mrs van ryan is kind
09:56to her
09:58i feel safer knowing our daughter is living in that house if she's not with us
10:03we can't blame her for the ills of society and at least she invited us through her front door which
10:09you didn't want to go in but we did now decan we ain't leaving at that just just for today
10:34it's not the most important thing good morning father you're home well you left me no choice
10:38you don't listen to me george when did you get back this morning i'm sorry i should have sent

10:57i want
10:57is for our lives to be gossip column father besides hector has a right to a modicum of privacy

11:05being
11:06hysterical you say that because you've been caught out don't think just because it's it's in print
11:09it's a fait accompli he's your duke and you can entertain him on your own gladys has a right

12:08i have piqued mr morgan's interest good
12:12and i need your help if her antics leak to the paper she'll ruin everything
12:18you've put her in this position a position that will make her the envy of every woman living
12:23and make her life a misery is that what you want when there are children they will be among the
12:29highest ranking people on earth do you really want that wrecked by billy carlton i said she could
12:35marry for love george i'm building her future a golden life isn't that worth more than a hasty promise

14:46good afternoon you will all see my signature here on this pledge for temperance which is a cause i
14:54support in memory of the late reverend forte we have sickness in our house is this really the time
15:01to bother them with this poppycock miss 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 i'm sure i need not
15:18explain
15:19the merits of temperance to you all ada now you have gone too far agnes what do you think our
15:25temperance meeting was about mrs graves i stopped listening to that woman the moment she opened her
15:31mouth you cannot force my staff our staff my staff actually and i'm not forcing anyone it is up to
15:39them
15:39to make their own choice as long as it is as i was saying the pledge hereby reads we agree
15:49that we will not
15:51buy sell or drink intoxicating liquors and we will use our best endeavors to prevent the sale and use of
16:00the same by others take charge of it banister thank you while his grace the duke is in new york
16:14he will
16:14be entertained by mr and mrs george russell but will he soon be more than a guest do you think
16:20that's
16:20what drove miss gladys to run away it's not our place to comment her wedding would affect us all
16:25if she moves to england who will go with her she'll need a maid i wonder if they'll hold the
16:30reception here what do you think mr church the mistress will have a plan prepared she usually
16:35does well i feel sorry for miss gladys really she'll be famous around the world her picture
16:40will appear in every paper her clothes will be copied and her jewels but she won't have chosen
16:46the man she married plenty of people who have a free choice live to regret it
16:57what are you doing going back over the details why you know it works not quite i'm sure it will
17:04work
17:04there's a difference but mr larry wrote to me today he wants me at the meetings of course you must
17:11be
17:12there he was foolish not to see it before now you thought you'd put your foot in it but you
17:16were right
17:16to ask i want to go so bad but now that he wants me there i feel nervous i have
17:21to give miss ada an
17:23answer on the temperance pledge and not mrs van ryan mrs forte pays outrageous these days and that must
17:29mean something so what will you do let them fight it out together this can't go on would you rather
17:36i went
17:36up and had it out with them no well someone has to and anyway i have a beer most evenings
17:42is that
17:44unreasonable we work all the hours god sends and now we can't relax on our time off i don't see
17:51how
17:51i can refuse mrs forte when she's been so kind about the clock mrs van ryan will never give up
17:56her
17:56wine so it may never come to it hey miss armstrong don't include me i've signed it
18:05does this mean everywhere or just in the house when you sign the pledge you sign the pledge
18:14you look better than you did yesterday oh yesterday's rabbit blur that's due to the fever
18:20i do remember my parents were here they sent for me do you work with my father in the way
18:27of things
18:29my father used to get treatment for arthritis at your father's pharmacy often i'd go with him and
18:34watch mr scott mix up his potions when i found out he owned the store and heard him advise patrons
18:41about
18:42which medicine to take my world was cracked open i don't recall seeing you around the store
18:52i went to school in philadelphia so i wasn't there much
18:59good now i can listen to your lungs breathe normally
19:09sounds better
19:12but you still have that cough how is she today much improved pulse is stronger and her fever's broken
19:20but she'll need to rest for a few days we don't want to relapse no that is quite forbidden
19:27look what i brought oh my shaft just delivered we'll celebrate when you're feeling better your parents
19:35mentioned you're a writer is it an installment from a novel yes but i'm very behind on my work
20:08your mother was very worried
20:11only because i'd ruin her plan
20:15please don't scold me i don't agree with your methods
20:19nor your mother's but i understand her intention and that is to give you an astonishing opportunity
20:25but an opportunity for what to be one of the most influential women of your generation
20:31i don't want to be influential and i refuse to be mother's project let me be my own person
20:37marriage is the one way you can do that and this marriage
20:40would give you the power to change lives you promised i could marry for love and i'm in love
20:45with billy carlton if you and billy think the best way to pursue this is by running away
20:48then neither of you is ready to marry what if he were to ask you now
20:53you'll be at mrs vane's party very well i'll hear his arguments
21:04i only want what's best for you but you think that's the duke
21:07i think you should consider all of your options including hector
21:16and how was miss scott faring today much better it is such a relief i'm so pleased our prayers have
21:22been answered and you will send us your bill mr scott has taken care of that oh good well doctor
21:28we remain in your debt aurora i can't help wondering does charles drink it could explain his behavior
21:40not in that way but it might seem better if he did it would be less of an outright rejection
21:46oh don't talk like that charles is the fool here banister is there any news on the pledge
21:52will the servant sign well banister please ignore mrs forte and let the matter drop i will not let it
22:00drop this is my staff i believe i have a right to ask for their support mrs forte ma'am
22:06do you have
22:06the right to tell them what to eat for luncheon or where to worship on sunday well i think it's
22:11perfectly
22:11simple mrs van ryan mrs forte what is it banister i'm very sorry but we must know downstairs who is
22:21in

23:13of moral
23:13judgment is a sort of illness i swore till death us do part and i meant it well it would

28:32smart he simply is smart without making any effort to be so do you wear a handkerchief in the top

30:40can we just wipe the slate clean i do hope so and i assure you billy will speak to your
30:45husband
30:46properly this time he won't make the same mistake again i do not know how many times i have to
30:50tell
30:50you this mrs carlton but gladys will not marry your son isn't it out of our hands let me speak
30:56clearly if you keep this up mr russell will see that billy never gets another job and we will
31:02disinherit gladys you do that to your own child what sort of a person are you as a rule i'm
31:08the sort
31:09person who gets what she wants
31:26i'm so glad to see you i couldn't hide away forever
31:30oh well you must be pleased that everyone's come that mr fane has made such a recovery what your
31:41husband just came in with the bell party is that mrs lipton i thought he was upstairs he's been staying
31:52at the club so i wouldn't get as cold that seems rather drastic he wanted to be prudent do i
32:01gather
32:01with all of this that you'll be spending more time in newport are you all right aurora i think so
32:10mrs fane i hope you don't catch your husband's chill
32:15and with that i will take my leave
32:21that was sudden charles has driven her away
32:25together with his mistress my dear don't let him get the better of you he already has
32:35i'm so glad you've come i hope it means you're feeling better excuse us
32:41how could you have brought her here we go everywhere together take her out of my house
32:46it's my house too and she didn't want to come i made her and she was right and you are
32:51cruel get
32:51used to it we'll be seen all over town wherever you go come away aurora can't you persuade her
32:57aunt agnes i am not your aunt agnes anymore
33:05i shot a peacock once on a hunting expedition did you have it stuffed as i remember our
33:10chef stuffed it with figs and brandy it was delicious but of course i was the butt of a
33:14good man of jokes this is russell have you met mr merrick oh you should he's so interested in the
33:20new opera house and such an admirer of yours i've seen you at the met but i never had the
33:24nerve to
33:24speak i love your ideas because they so exactly mirror my own high praise from a man more than
33:31merited i ask is it true your daughter's going to marry the duke of buckingham if it were i suppose
33:37you'd disapprove why i'd say it would give her a position from which she can achieve great things
33:41i read in the paper that it's official now that article was silly guesswork if she does marry him
33:46what will your title be why would i have one well there must be something you call the mother of
33:51a
33:51duchess one lucky woman
33:56i admire many things about the english but they can't hold a candle when it comes to your
34:00parties mr merrick
34:08it's happening billy is asking my father
34:14you're very confident you're facing the front of the bank banks are like women panic at the
34:19unimportant and ignore the essentials mr carlton can we help you
34:38that was peculiar
34:43carlton you know my wife i don't mean to interrupt i came to say hello to billy carlton but he
34:48seems to
34:48go on he's changed his mind you don't know that billy
35:00billy what happened i couldn't do it what i couldn't do it good forget about miss russell
35:08they're new money people she was using you that's what they do that doesn't make sense you'll find
35:13another girl who won't cost you your future i regard it as a lucky escape what a ghastly gathering
35:31it's true that he's coming to new york it's true that i've arranged some parties for him
35:36what else can i tell you did you think i would just stay in arizona until everything was arranged
35:40george life goes on even when you're away on business the fact remains billy carlton has not
35:45had an opportunity to present his argument she says she loves him shouldn't we listen to her george
35:52she's 18. she still has her dolls in her room she ran away like a petulant child should we let
35:58her
35:58choose failure over triumph she's not choosing failure that's where you're wrong the whole of new
36:04york society has decided he's coming back here to propose who thinks that mrs fish mrs astor mrs
36:10drexel mrs van ranselier all of them because you leaked it to the newspapers yourself the point is
36:16if we don't announce an engagement they'll assume she's failed and forever after she'll be the girl
36:20who didn't land her duke we can say she turned him down they'll never believe us
36:26even so rushing her into it does not seem right george i don't expect you to understand this because
36:33you're not a woman but i am trying to empower her you think you're helping by caving in but she's
36:38young
36:39she doesn't know anything about love or the world or anything else i'm trying to protect her future
36:47won't you help me bertha you cannot expect her to marry a man she doesn't like she doesn't know him
36:56if she gives him a chance she'll like him well enough i just want to know when i get a
37:01say in our
37:02daughter's life the day i'm in your boardroom giving you my ideas on the railroads and the steel mills
37:11until that day i won't question your business if you don't question mine
37:17have you told me everything of course
37:28you look so nice is there a special occasion for the dinner
37:33i think it's really to welcome the duke back to america you've been spending quite a bit of time
37:39with the russells yes and young mr russell seems very taken with you
37:47he thinks he's in love with me oh my and how do you feel cautious because you don't share his
37:57feelings because i want to wait until things in his family are calmer and i need to be sure but
38:03look at cousin aurora perhaps it's foolish to look for certainty in love
38:08your uncle luke would say there's very little we could be certain of except god so pray and the
38:16right path will become clear oh which reminds me you've been hearing me speak about the pledge yes
38:27i just wondered if you'd given it any thought i have but i'm afraid i struggle to see what's wrong
38:35with
38:35having a glass of wine at dinner or jack wanting some beer on his day off i thought you might
38:42say that
38:43i'm sorry if that makes you unhappy oh the scots are upstairs visiting their daughter oh i'm glad to
38:51hear it i should get changed varian do you think miss scott might sign the pledge when she gets better
39:03maybe i should get to the russells they don't want to be late are you going to harass their duke
39:08into
39:08signing the pledge as well he might be interested please he's english his loyalty is to the queen and
39:15the bottle not necessarily in that order it's cousin athena's women's group in newport i think you'd
39:25enjoy it and i know they'd enjoy you i suppose i always think of myself as a writer not a
39:31speaker
39:31athena says that your tuskegee article as well as the excerpt from your novel has caused a lot of
39:39chatter up there they want to celebrate your work and she'd like for us to stay with her us
39:45well all right i thought it'd be a nice respite for us both ocean air will do you good dr
39:52curpton
39:53said so i guess it wouldn't hurt and i'd like to see the ocean will you come if i can
40:00get away and
40:01they want me to speak next month oh it's an open invitation we can get out of new york we
40:06can eat some
40:07food visit family if you're not working for the globe anymore yes well i'd have to ask mrs van ryan
40:14best you're right when shall we leave
40:34how is she oh it's much better thank you oh god please come and sit
40:46are you all on your own oh my sister is upstairs changing and my niece is across the road dining
40:52with our neighbors may i ask you something we we have an invitation from a cousin in newport to take
41:01peggy there for a while and i oh of course you must go and stay until she is ready to
41:06come back how very
41:10gracious mrs van ryan forgive me for saying this but your attitude is not what we are used to
41:18especially on fifth avenue i'm sorry to hear that but you know it to be true maybe but it is
41:24not how we
41:25were raised we were brought up to be well-mannered towards everyone and that is what i believe in
41:32simple good manners i agree i'm not convinced good manners will prove an effective cure for two and a
41:40half centuries of slavery no i suppose not and good manners did not oblige your doctor to treat our
41:48daughter when she was dangerously ill i know and i'm very sorry about that but i thought he would set
41:55aside his prejudice because he was frightened i don't know maybe but i i believed he would act when
42:03he saw the urgency when did you see the urgency
42:10well i know we were slow to grasp just how ill miss scott was but after i'd seen her
42:16i did everything i could i'm sure you did i know what it's like when your child is sick
42:24i shall never forget when oscar was diagnosed with typhoid he was only ten and mr van ryan was
42:33away and i was here alone with just the servants and a doctor who tried his best but of course
42:40could
42:40do nothing well how terrible for you was there really no treatment to be had no just some medicines
42:48with mercury but nothing no nothing really all we could do was nurse him and uh
42:58and pray we spent a whole day thinking that i'd lost him
43:07i shall never forget it
43:13i'd say that we've both had our scares over the years but i think that children were mainly sent to
43:21frighten you isn't that the truth
43:26we should be uh going
43:36thank you for your care of peggy i should have known that as a mother you would understand
43:47goodbye mrs van ryan goodbye mr and mrs scott
44:10i'm delighted you could join us miss brooke larry was kind to invite me will you see what's
44:27what's going on here to see you and miss gladys he's waiting at the servants entrance
44:35thank you church
44:40you'll be right outside i'll wait for you
44:49you don't have much time
44:59i was hoping you'd write but this is much better
45:01uh billy will you come in and speak to my father now
45:07no
45:09why not because i don't have the strength to fight anymore
45:17what did my mother say it's not what she said so much as what my own mother told me
45:23what does that have to do with our engagement gladys i'm a tiny cog in the wheel of industry
45:28i cannot afford to challenge the people driving it i see your parents talking with the biggest
45:34decision makers in wall street and i know i'm not in that league and never will be
45:40you shouldn't be afraid of my father when when i'm trying to thwart his plans for his daughter
45:46i've been a fool
45:49the newspapers practically say you're engaged it was the main topic of conversation at the party but i'm
45:53not engaged and my father promised me i could marry for love so you see i have things are different
45:59now and our love is no longer practical
46:06the plain truth is gladys i'm not the man you need me to be
46:19i want to make you cry please try not to hate me
46:28how can i hate you when i still love you
46:41let's go
47:07i'm sorry
47:14There you are.
47:18His Grace, the Duke of Buckingham.
47:20Mr. and Mrs. Russell, how nice to see you.
47:24I'm sorry I'm so late.
47:25You're right on time.
47:27I hope you had an easy journey.
47:28It was long, and then we were delayed.
47:31We?
47:32Yes, I brought along my attorney, Mr. Dobbs.
47:35You brought a lawyer?
47:36Well, I suppose we still have some things to talk about.
47:39And, of course, you remember Gladys.
47:42Gladys, we have much to look forward to.
47:50May I present Miss Marianne Brooke?
47:52Ah, Miss Brooke.
47:54How do you do?
47:55Why has he brought a lawyer from England?
47:57What did you promise him?
47:58Nothing.
47:58What did you say?
47:59I only suggested you may have some things to discuss.
48:02You shouldn't have suggested anything at all.
48:04I asked if you had told me everything.
48:06Well, now I have.
48:09Ditter is served.
48:13Shall we go in?
48:17I expect this will give the boy it just more.
48:19Yes, well, I'm very happy.
48:25Father, what does this mean?
48:27I'm as surprised as 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.
48:37I'll take care of it.
