00:45How to define a foresight?
00:51By the secrets we keep, shall you know us?
00:55By the little lies we tell?
01:01By the choices we make, which echo down the generations.
01:07Choices which will come back to haunt us.
01:11Until one of us decides to change the story.
01:24Believe me, this will pass.
01:26And we'll come through it stronger and more devoted than ever.
01:31I believe you.
01:43My concern is this.
01:45Now he knows about the children.
01:48Will he be able to forget them again?
01:54Trust.
02:02You need fresh air.
02:06Wish I could take it to the seaside.
02:09I know where I like to go.
02:13To a magic place.
02:15Where all the streets are made of water.
02:18Where the poor servant girl met the prince.
02:32So, at the next board meeting, I propose to introduce the subject of my nephew's unfitness to be chair.
02:43Not just in temperament, but in behaviour.
02:48As in?
02:49Any action that might bring the firm into disrepute.
02:52This being the case, not only can he be said not to be chair material,
02:58he should be expelled from the company altogether.
03:06You're not the first to sow wild oats in your youth.
03:13But there's no need to pay for those mistakes with your career.
03:16They're not mistakes, Dad.
03:18They're my actual flesh and blood.
03:20And that's important.
03:22An heir is important.
03:24Something you currently lack.
03:26But for the present, when your succession is about to be challenged,
03:30oh, I am well aware of James' manoeuvrings.
03:36It is imperative that we keep this matter a secret.
03:42Your father and I have been wondering,
03:45is there a case for offering some inducement?
03:49Inducement for the young lady in question.
03:52To ensure her silence?
03:54Her silence is not in doubt.
03:56But if she could be persuaded to leave London...
03:59What?
04:00Set up home and business elsewhere...
04:02Suitably funded, of course.
04:03So she's expected to uproot her life and that of her children, for my convenience.
04:07When she's made it abundantly clear she wants no further contact.
04:10And you trust her?
04:11Completely.
04:15You are not proposing some kind of public statement?
04:18About the children?
04:20Well, how would that benefit any of us?
04:23No, I intend to honour her wishes.
04:25Whilst deciding how to discharge my financial obligation to her.
04:28Which will be my...
04:30Decision.
04:32No one else's.
04:39Are we sure he's the father?
04:42Why else would he be at a shop?
04:44And it was that business in Italy with the ladies' maid.
04:47And there we have it.
04:50The thing to tip the scales against him.
04:53But let's keep this to ourselves for now.
04:58Do I think I'd be the better chair?
05:00Of course.
05:02Do I need to stoop to scheming to achieve it?
05:05You can leave all that to me.
05:23I've got another note from Mr. Foresight.
06:16So, if you loved her, why did you marry my mom?
06:25Because your mother was, is.
06:29An incredible woman.
06:31Cultured, caring, kind.
06:34And I valued that.
06:39In those early days after Venice, I was sometimes a little lost.
06:45And had you known about her situation, what would you have done?
06:57I can't answer that.
07:02You just did.
07:05June, wait.
07:06June, wait.
07:27You've had time.
07:32I don't underestimate the pain this has caused.
07:36But I am here.
07:39And I have no plans to be elsewhere.
07:48Then all shall be well.
08:12You came.
08:14Did you doubt it?
08:22Forgive me.
08:23Yesterday I was overwhelmed.
08:26I failed to observe the proper formalities.
08:29Allow me to make amends.
08:36Miss Heron, you have made me the happiest of men.
08:41Would you give me the honor of wearing this ring?
08:54You dislike it?
08:55No, no.
08:55How could I?
08:56It's just...
08:58I mean, is this happening to me?
09:02Well, there must be so many more suitable women of your own station.
09:05Very many.
09:07Eminently suitable.
09:09All art and polish and impeccable breeding.
09:17Whereas you...
09:19are all nature.
09:23And to me, that is perfection.
09:38May I now have the honor
09:40of introducing you to my family.
09:46My love.
09:49Yes.
09:50Yes.
09:50Yes.
10:29Mama was always fond of that one.
10:31She was a fine woman.
10:34Not a fast love, but...
10:37a lasting one.
10:44So, it's a full turn-out tomorrow?
10:47What's this?
10:48Epsom races. Monty's horse is running.
10:50What could possibly go wrong?
10:52What shall I wear?
10:55I need to cut quite the dash when I strut into the ring with Lady Peaches.
11:00Isn't that the groom's job?
11:01When one's nurtured a nag as I have, one feels a bond, a connection.
11:06You don't think of mounting her yourself, then?
11:08Do you know the thought had occurred?
11:09But the 2.30 at Epsom, is that the place to make one's debut?
11:12I thought I'd wear my peach hat in homage to Monty's horse.
11:16But if it doesn't win...
11:18Well, I believe by the end of tomorrow, we'll have something to celebrate.
11:21To that end, I'll be bringing in a guest.
11:23Anyone we know.
11:25Wouldn't wish to spoil the surprise.
11:27Well, hardly a surprise.
11:29Beginning on Miss Carteret?
11:31If you've a guinea to waste.
11:38It's always a blow to realize that someone you love is not perfect.
11:44Of course you want him to be.
11:48But...
11:50He's fallen short.
11:52And I can't forgive him.
11:54Parents disappoint their children.
11:56Children disappoint their parents.
12:00Mine have a talent for it.
12:04Even now, I suspect that your Uncle James is harnessing your father's imperfections to use against him.
12:11And you may say, quite right.
12:14Whereas I would say...
12:17Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
12:23Chin up, my dear.
12:26Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.
12:37Yes, peaches!
12:38Come on, peaches!
12:39Hold him!
12:41Go!
12:41Go, peaches!
12:42Come on, lady, peaches!
12:44Come on, lady, peaches!
12:47Stay on!
12:49Go on!
12:50Go on!
12:51Yes!
12:53Go!
12:54Go!
12:56Go!
12:56Go!
12:57Go!
12:58Go!
12:58Go, James!
13:21No!
13:22No!
13:23No!
13:23Oh, you're so close.
13:25So close.
13:26Oh, you're so close.
13:27Oh, you donkey!
13:32Damn it!
13:34I've been sold a pup, a turkey, a clunker, a veritable dud.
13:39But she did so well, Monty.
13:41She almost won.
13:46They need to fix that.
13:50How's Alicia?
13:52How's Alicia?
13:52If we value your life, never ask if she's feeling tired or would like a chair.
13:57Oh, no, she already made that clear.
13:59I'm with child, Joe.
14:00I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
14:06How are things with Francis?
14:09It's just saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.
14:12Neither of us reckon with.
14:14And the implications are frankly severe.
14:26So does Soames propose to join us, or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?
14:32Oh, Miss Carford, I would have been proud to think we'd achieved nobility in three generations.
14:46Just to alert you, I haven't purchased any of our plans with your family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately
14:51vague.
14:51Of course.
14:53Oh.
14:58Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron, my family.
15:03How do you do?
15:07Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.
15:10Not at all.
15:10I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.
15:16And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance.
15:20As Miss Heron has done me the honour of agreeing to be my wife.
15:36Congratulations.
15:39Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence, after which we depart for Europe.
15:45On your honeymoon?
15:46How thrilling.
15:47Where will you go?
15:48If tradition dictates that, must remain a secret.
15:53Heron, you say?
15:55Do we know that name?
15:58Who are your people, my dear?
16:01No one of consequence.
16:03My father was a professor, and my mother...
16:04Oh, can we please not subject Miss Heron to the Spanish Inquisition?
16:07No, no, no, indeed.
16:09That function belongs to me.
16:11The customary formalities?
16:16Yes, of course.
16:24Shall we?
16:34I thought it best to get the ordeal out of the way as soon as possible.
16:38As to the wedding itself, you must say if a fortnight from now is too soon.
16:41A fortnight?
16:43Surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
17:19your mother is seriously displeased
17:25why wasn't she consulted and the haste how long have you known this girl long enough
17:32she seems rather lovely oh emily she is you'll like her you must be fearfully in love in love
17:43the juice does that mean it means everything trust me
17:49this is not the match we were expecting no i see that and to take the plunge now when joe's
17:56dug
17:56himself a hole we've got a clear shot of the chairmanship and you're about to go
18:00gallivanting off around the continent perhaps we should just leave joe to it oh are you serious
18:18the insanity of it
18:22i think i rather envy him
18:25how
18:27daring to follow his heart
18:30did you did i for god's sake emily
18:37what sort of a question is that
18:44come along pudding shall we retire
18:56well that was sheer purgatory
19:02absolute hell
19:04grinning like fools as if our whole lives were not on the rack
19:15i know what makes this even worse
19:18we always wanted children of our own
19:25yes
19:30somehow that never happened
19:36now to know that you have children with another
19:44the last thing i ever wanted was to cause you pain
19:54we must protect june as much as we can from all this
19:59so
20:00it
20:00it
20:31You're not wearing that, are you?
20:34I mean, the Foresight ladies will never approve.
20:37Is it not sufficiently modish?
20:39My concern is that you don't embarrass yourself.
20:44You're stepping so far outside your milieu.
20:47I thank you for your concern, but I can only start as I mean to go on.
20:52By doing what feels right.
20:57To me.
21:07So, I was thinking crimson or burgundy.
21:12My husband says don't be extravagant, which is rich coming from him,
21:15when he outspends his allowance every month and then blames me because he has no profession.
21:20It's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company.
21:23They sort of haven't hinted at it countless times.
21:25But I just keep saying we have a reputation to uphold at Foresight & Co.
21:29Foresight?
21:31But your name's...
21:32Darty, yes.
21:33By marriage.
21:34Foresight by birth.
21:36You know my cousin-in-law, Mrs. Francis Foresight?
21:40Yes.
21:41Yes.
21:43I should perhaps warn you, I'm snowed under with orders.
21:48It could be months before your gown is ready.
21:50In which case, I'd quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere.
21:55Elsewhere?
21:56I should think not.
21:58And her tone!
21:59Almost as if she was wishing me gone.
22:01And why would that be?
22:03Thank your cousin, Joe.
22:06What?
22:08And his not-so-gilded youthful escapades.
22:17I congratulate you, cousin.
22:19Miss Heron seems an excellent choice.
22:24Perhaps one's reached an age where one is free to make a choice
22:28without succumbing to family pressures.
22:34One lives in hope.
22:39Joe!
22:41Fathered the dressmaker's children!
22:43Well, well, well.
22:46The dirty dog!
22:48How appalling!
22:50But it does play into our hands.
22:52How so?
22:53He wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock.
22:56For our purposes, it serves us to portray him as a libertine.
22:59The callous seducer, the neglectful father.
23:02I mean, any of these could be said to jeopardise the reputation of the firm.
23:05But it happened before he and Francis met.
23:08Some might call it a youthful indiscretion.
23:10Well, they'd be wrong.
23:11Such behaviour is...
23:13Yes, Monty?
23:14What is it?
23:19Am I looking at my club?
23:25Does he perform any useful function?
23:29He could, given a chance.
23:31If this is yet another bid to give him a role...
23:34Not a role.
23:35A seat on the board.
23:37You are joking.
23:39The board meets tomorrow, yes.
23:41And your plan is to expel Joe from the company.
23:44Do you have a majority?
23:46Are you sure you couldn't use an extra vote?
23:50Well?
23:50Monty's your man.
23:52He's entirely without scruples.
23:54He'll vote whichever way you tell him to.
24:02Excuse me.
24:03Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and welcome, esteemed lecturer and philanthropist,
24:09Mrs. Ellen Parker Barrington.
24:11You believe you have no voice.
24:15I believe the same.
24:18I've been confused, ignored, disrespected in my time.
24:25Oh, but trust me, I'm under no illusion.
24:28It is my wealth, my standing, which now confers power, commands respect, demands attention.
24:37My late husband owned woolen mills in the north.
24:42He once viewed his workers as commodities, expendable.
24:48But he was brought to see them as precious human souls, worthy of respect, of dignity, of proper recompense.
25:02So, change is possible.
25:07And I owe those who have not been as fortunate as I to challenge ignorance and injustice, wherever I see
25:20it.
25:20But, I invite you to do the same.
25:43Mr. Renegade.
25:46Mr. Buckner.
25:47What brings you here?
25:49The same as you.
25:50A wish for rational argument.
25:52A disgust for inequality.
25:54Would you, would you care for some cake?
26:07So, you're an architect.
26:08How splendid.
26:10I should introduce you to my family.
26:12They'll be terribly impressed.
26:13No, I doubt it.
26:13I'm a modernist.
26:16In my experience, the money classes are highly conservative in their tastes.
26:20Now, you, I suspect, are a radical.
26:23I like to think I have an open mind.
26:26Why else would you be here, unchaperoned?
26:28I don't care a fig for such nonsense.
26:31I suspect your mother does.
26:34And what she doesn't know can't hurt her.
26:39Do you have a card?
26:40In case any of my family should at some point require your services.
26:44You and I both know how unlikely that is.
26:57Culver Street?
26:58Hardly an illustrious address.
26:59And it's a garret.
27:00Oh, I adore garrets.
27:06I don't care.
27:21Proposal to admit Montagu Darty to the board.
27:24I don't expect you to like it.
27:26He's an imbecile.
27:28But if we're to get the votes we need...
27:37Last-minute addition to the agenda.
27:39Item five.
27:41Reputational risk and remedial action.
27:45So here we are.
27:47Here we are.
27:52Let battle commence.
28:10Large brandy in the day's papers.
28:12Shop, shop.
28:13Item number four.
28:15The proposed election of Montagu Darty to the board.
28:20Proposal.
28:26Proposal.
28:27Seconded.
28:31All those in favor.
28:36And those against.
28:45Montagu Darty is elected to the board.
28:50I suppose you should let him in.
29:00To those who voted in my favor.
29:03Good choice.
29:06To any who voted against.
29:10All right.
29:13Item five.
29:16Reputational risk and remedial action.
29:21Yes.
29:22I'm afraid there have been alarming rumors implicating one of our own, which, should they reach the
29:29ears of our more eminent clients, could lead them to take their business elsewhere.
29:33What rumors are these?
29:35Concerning a senior partner.
29:39Debauching a serving man.
29:41That is not what happened.
29:42That is not who she was, and those are not the circumstances.
29:45And for those of you as yet in the dark, my nephew.
29:54I had a relationship prior to my marriage with a young woman I met in Venice.
29:57Some days ago I learned that when we parted, she was with a child.
30:02Twins, to be precise.
30:04Twins, now ten years of age, living with her mother in London.
30:08And distasteful, as some of you doubtless may find it.
30:12Distasteful?
30:13Try scandalous.
30:14Inexcusable.
30:15What we can't ignore is that many of our clients will find such a liaison distasteful.
30:21But of course they will.
30:25Because such things have never happened in respectable families.
30:30Good Lord.
30:31What a nurse.
30:31And it'll be the first misstep that this family has never made.
30:36Well, ma, for goodness sake.
30:37Gentlemen, please.
30:42May I ask what brings you here today?
30:45Curiosity?
30:46This is most irregular.
30:49We do not admit, ladies, into the inner sanctum.
30:52Oh, the inner sanctum.
30:55It solely exists because I paid for it.
31:00Can I not see what my marriage settlement bought?
31:04Mater, the matter in hand concerns the irrevocable damage to company reputation should Joe remain within its ranks.
31:12We are inviting him to step away for the good of the family name.
31:18Oh, the good of the family name.
31:20Ah.
31:22Our sainted family.
31:25Devoid of scandal.
31:27Closets.
31:30Skeletal remains.
31:35Yes, but the effect.
31:37The damage to our reputation.
31:39There will be no damage.
31:40The matter can be hushed up and the girl paid off.
31:42Please, allow me to deal with this.
31:48If we could be certain of the girl's discretion, we could agree to turn a blind eye, but...
31:56Though I trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of company funds.
32:02I'm most assured.
32:03I have no intention of asking anyone here to take responsibility for my obligations.
32:09The fact remains I had two children.
32:13Of whom I'm not ashamed.
32:16Nor of myself.
32:24Well, you heard him.
32:27No remorse.
32:29Disappointing.
32:30Has to go.
32:32With regret.
32:35I propose that Jolion Forsythe be expelled from the company.
32:48All those in favor.
33:00It's fine, um.
33:03Thank you, ma'am.
33:05Why are you here?
33:06I'm not content with how we left things.
33:08More is due to you and the children.
33:10Nothing is due.
33:11We are content.
33:13Do you think you have the right to deprive them by refusing my support?
33:16Deprive them?
33:17Did they look deprived?
33:19No, that's not what I meant.
33:21Can I not want them to have a better life?
33:24Have you given the slightest thought to how my life has been since we parted?
33:30No, I can only imagine.
33:33Can you?
33:34A girl, two infants, no one to turn to.
33:38Gradually, to take a fierce pride in knowing that she could provide.
33:42To have raised two beautiful souls single-handed.
33:48Why would I, why would they need any more than what we have?
33:55Mama, will you come?
33:57There's jugglers.
33:58Will you come?
34:00Whoa, hang on.
34:01Push up, push up, push up.
34:06Amazing.
34:11April.
34:13Yeah.
34:18Oh, thanks.
34:20Ho.
34:20Ho, ho.
34:22Ho!OWER
34:23SH prince'll be. Over in
34:24Oakland. Ho.
34:24Ho.
34:24Ho!
34:25Ho!
34:26Ho!
34:26Ho!
34:27Ho!
34:28Ho!
34:46They're beautiful.
34:47They are.
34:50If you told me, I would have come for you.
34:54Your family would have cut you off.
34:56You'd be living in disgrace.
34:58And knowing only that, I still would have come.
35:03Wasn't to be.
35:04No, it wasn't.
35:08Goodbye, Joe.
35:54Is there any cakes?
36:01Can I be of assistance?
36:05I won't get.
36:12Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?
36:31I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills, even a stepfather with feet of clay.
36:40He's utterly betrayed me.
36:43I can see it must seem that way.
36:45If you'd seen him with them, smiling adoringly, as if I didn't even exist.
36:56You exist to me, Miss Renegade.
36:59I do.
37:02I see you.
37:04Clear as day.
37:10I should go.
37:12I really shouldn't be here at all.
37:14I'm glad you were.
37:15I don't know.
37:28I'll see you.
37:29I'm glad you're here.
37:37I'm glad you're here.
37:40I know.
37:40I know.
37:41I know.
37:43I know.
37:43I know.
37:44I know.
37:56Come.
38:04I've brought Miss Heron to see you.
38:07I congratulate you.
38:10Thank you, Grandmama.
38:12For catching them all unawares.
38:17But not you.
38:19The Carteret girl was too obvious.
38:22Not your type at all.
38:27Bring her to me.
38:42I just spoke to your father.
38:46Don't you want to know how it went?
38:49The vote?
38:54I can guess.
38:57In your favor.
38:59How?
39:00You're not to be expelled.
39:02So the chairmanship can now be yours.
39:09You must see what this now affords us.
39:13A golden opportunity.
39:18For you to recommit.
39:21To your family.
39:23The firm.
39:27Our life together.
39:37How do you see that?
39:40My commitment to you and June is absolute.
39:50So tell me, my dear.
39:55Are you prepared?
39:57For what?
39:59The Foresight family.
40:01Are you aware of its peculiarities?
40:04Everyone has been welcoming.
40:07And Soames?
40:09What do you know of him?
40:11What can you tell me?
40:16Soames has never loved before.
40:19That he does so now is significant.
40:22You will want for nothing.
40:24You'll be mistress of all you survey.
40:27My wants are modest.
40:29And what are those wants?
40:31To love.
40:33And be loved.
40:34To trust and be trusted.
40:37To...
40:38Dance.
40:39Dance.
40:39And it will be a dance.
40:43Whether the Pavan or a Tarantella.
40:46Or a Padida.
40:51And you?
40:54Are you in love?
40:55Oh.
40:59I...
40:59Have tremors.
41:01My pulse races and I feel faint.
41:04Some poets call that love.
41:07What would you call it?
41:10A prelude.
41:13To something deeper.
41:18I hope you find it.
41:29I trust she wasn't too fierce.
41:32She was kind.
41:35You didn't mention Paris.
41:37Should I have done?
41:39Time enough to address that when we're there together.
41:42Planning our future.
41:48To our wedding day.
41:49To our wedding day.
42:13So, do we think this wedding is a love match?
42:17How can anyone not marry for love?
42:22Because love is only part of what makes a marriage.
42:27Respect.
42:30Patience.
42:32Belief.
42:33These also matter.
42:36And that's what you had with Papa.
42:41Have.
42:44Still.
43:01This could have been the event of the season.
43:04rather than some low-key hole-in-the-corner travesty.
43:08I just wish it hadn't come so soon.
43:11Soon, Emily?
43:12You've had him at home his entire life.
43:25It's just the thought of losing him to someone we don't really know.
43:30Who might wish to keep him all to herself.
43:33Yes, well, that's the least of it.
43:35Instead of idling around Europe,
43:38he could be here planning our next strategy.
43:44Do you like it, Mama?
43:46Monty assures me it costs the earth.
43:48Nothing's too good for my Freddy.
43:50A man of business can afford such trifles.
43:55Lord help us.
44:06For heaven's sake, Irene,
44:08the carriage will be here any minute.
44:11I hope I'm as blessed as they were.
44:13Can you ever doubt it?
44:15In the resources at Mr. Forsyte's disposal.
44:18His willingness to uproot his entire existence for your sake.
44:22I meant theirs was a love match.
44:29And yours is?
44:33I don't yet know what to call it.
44:38He told me it would be all that I dreamt of.
44:42And more.
44:43Then I suggest you count your blessings and get dressed.
44:45I don't know what to call it.
44:59I don't know what to call it.
45:10I don't know what to call it.
45:11I don't know what to call it.
45:11I don't know what to call it.
45:11I don't know what to call it.
45:12I don't know what to call it.
45:14I don't know what to call it.
45:15I don't know what to call it.
45:15I don't know what to call it.
45:15I don't know what to call it.
45:16I don't know what to call it.
45:19I don't know what to call it.
45:20I don't know what to call it.
45:21I don't know what to call it.
45:24I don't know what to call it.
45:25I don't know what to call it.
45:55Perhaps she's had a change of heart.
45:57If she has any sins.
46:00Mama, where is she?
46:02I don't know.
46:27I don't know.
46:28I don't know.
46:30I don't know.
46:35I don't know.
46:46I don't know.
46:47I don't know.
46:54I don't know.
47:01I don't know.
47:02I don't know.
47:05I don't know.
47:23I don't know.
47:38you taught me a valuable lesson
47:41which is
47:43to trust no one but myself
47:46to think for myself
47:49to do only what my heart tells me
47:51what does it tell you
47:58that true love is what matters
48:01a meeting of minds
48:03a conjunction of souls
48:05that is what matters
48:08good
48:10we agree
48:32we agree
48:37we agree
48:55that true love is what matters
49:13you see
49:17isn't that hard
49:19deciding to move on
49:22from them
49:27that wasn't what I said
49:33it was implied
49:35I said my commitment to you is beyond
49:37doubt
49:39but to suggest that I've moved on from them
49:41will be to deny that any of it mattered
49:45well of course I accept that you were once
49:47fond of her
49:48I wasn't fond
49:49Francis
49:52my children were conceived of love
50:07so let us be clear
50:11that love as you call it
50:12has no place in this house
50:16so kill it
50:17once and for all
50:21we'll face the consequences
50:40thank you

50:47and a man
