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.
05:25I've got another note.
05:41Ahem.
05:43I've got another note.
05:46I mean, let's not forget.
05:50I've got another note.
05:53I've got another note.
05:54And there we go.
06:16So, if you loved her, why did you marry Mama?
06:25Because your mother is an incredible woman, cultured, caring, kind, and 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?
06:58I can't answer that.
07:02You just did.
07:05June, wait.
07:06June, wait.
07:27You've heard time.
07:33I 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
08:13Did 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 honour
08:43Of wearing this ring?
08:54You dislike it?
08:55No, no, how could I? It's just...
08:58I mean...
08:59Is this happening to me?
09:02There must be so many more suitable women of your own station
09:04Very many
09:07Eminently suitable
09:09All art and
09:11Polish and
09:13Impeccable breeding
09:17Whereas you
09:19Are all nature
09:23And to me that is perfection
09:38May I now have the honour
09:41Of introducing you to my family
09:45My love?
09:48My love
09:50Yes
09:50Thank you
09:52Amen
09:52Yes
09:52You
09:55Yes
09:55Yes
09:57I
10:01What is
10:02What is
10:14it is
10:29Mama was always fond of that one.
10:31She was a fine woman.
10:33Not a fast love, but...
10:37a lasting one.
10:44So, it's a full turnout tomorrow?
10:47What's this?
10:48Epsom races. Monty's horse is running.
10:51What 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.
11:14In 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 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 realise 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.
11:57Children 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...
12:16Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
12:23Cheer not, 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!
12:46Come on, lady, peaches!
12:47Stay on!
12:49It's a door!
12:50Yes!
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.
13:57She already made that clear.
13:59I'm with child, Joe.
14:00I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
14:03I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
14:06How are things with Francis?
14:08It's just that my connections with Louisa have consequences.
14:12Neither of us reckoned with.
14:14And the implications are frankly severe.
14:26So, does Soames propose to join us,
14:29or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?
14:32Ah, Miss Carford.
14:34Pa would have been proud to think we'd achieved nobility in three generations.
14:46Just to alert you.
14:47I haven't purchased any of our plans with the family,
14:49so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.
14:51Of course.
14:53Ah.
14:58Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron.
15:00My family.
15:03How do you do?
15:07Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.
15:10Oh, not at all.
15:10I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.
15:15Hmm.
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.
15:40Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence,
15:43after 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.
16:14The customary formalities?
16:17Yes, of course.
16:25Shall 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 for fortnight from now is too soon.
16:41A fortnight?
16:43Surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
16:46Amen.
16:54I'm everything.
16:56Oh!
16:57No!
17:19Your mother is seriously displeased.
17:25Why wasn't she consulted?
17:28And the haste.
17:29How long have you known this girl?
17:31Long enough.
17:33She seems rather lovely.
17:35Oh, Emily.
17:36She is.
17:38You'll like her.
17:39You must be fearfully in love.
17:42In love?
17:43The deuce does that mean?
17:45It means everything, trust me.
17:49This is not the match we were expecting.
17:52No, I see that.
17:53And to take the plunge now,
17:55when Joe's dug himself a hole,
17:58we've had a clear shot at the chairmanship
17:59and you're about to go gallivanting off around the continent.
18:03Perhaps we should just leave Joe to it.
18:05Oh!
18:06Are you serious?
18:09Hmm.
18:18The insanity of it?
18:22I think I rather envy him.
18:25How?
18:27Daring to follow his heart.
18:30Did you?
18:32Did I?
18:34For God's sake, Emily.
18:38What sort of a question is that?
18:44Come along, Pudding.
18:46Shall we retire?
18:47Come on.
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.
19:35Now 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.
19:58Last thing I'd like.
19:59More life.
20:12Cheers.
20:14Cheers.
20:18Cheers.
20:20Cheers.
20:22Cheers.
20:31you're not wearing that are you i mean the foresight ladies will never approve
20:37is it not sufficiently modish my concern is that you don't embarrass yourself you're stepping so
20:45far outside your milieu i thank you for your concern but i can only start as i mean to go
20:50on
20:51by doing what feels right
20:57for me
21:07so i was thinking crimson or burgundy my 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
21:19it's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company they sort of haven't
21:24hinted at it countless times they just keep saying we have a reputation to uphold at foresight and co
21:31foresight but your name's dirty yes by marriage foresight by birth you know my cousin-in-law
21:37mrs francis foresight
21:40yes yes i uh i should perhaps warn you i'm snowed under with orders it could be months before your
21:49gown is ready in which case i'd quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere
21:54elsewhere elsewhere i should think not and her tone almost as if she was wishing me gone and why would
22:02that be thank your cousin joe what and his not so gilded youthful escapades
22:17i congratulate you cousin miss heron seems an excellent choice thank you
22:24perhaps one's reached an age where one is free to make a choice without succumbing to family
22:33pressures one lives in hope
22:40joe father the dressmaker's children well well well the dirty dog how appalling but it does play into
22:51our hands how so you wouldn't be the first to father children out of wedlock for our purposes
22:57it serves us to portray him as a libertine the callous seducer the neglectful father i mean any
23:02of these could be said to jeopardize the reputation of the firm but it happened before he and francis
23:07met some might call it a youthful indiscretion well they'd be wrong such behavior yes monty what is it
23:19am i looking in my club
23:25does he perform any useful function he could given a chance if this is yet another bid to give him
23:33a
23:33role not a role a seat on the board you are joking the board meets tomorrow yes and your plan
23:42is to
23:42expel joe from the company do you have a majority are you sure you couldn't use an extra vote
23:50well monty's your man he's entirely without scruples he'll vote whichever way you tell him to
24:02excuse me ladies and gentlemen please take your seats and welcome esteemed lecturer and philanthropist
24:09mrs ellen parker barrington you believe you have no voice i believe the same i've been confused
24:20ignored disrespected in my time oh but trust me i'm under no illusion it is my wealth my standing which
24:32now
24:32confers power commands respect demands attention my late husband owned woolen mills in the north
24:42once viewed his workers as commodities expendable but he was brought to see them as precious human souls
24:53worthy of respect of dignity of proper recompense
25:01so change is possible and i owe those who have not been as fortunate as i to challenge
25:13ignorance and injustice wherever i see it
25:22i invite you to do the same
25:42miss renegade
25:46mr buccaneer what brings you here the same as you i wish for rational argument i discussed for
25:52inequality would you would you care for some cake
26:04thank you
26:07so you're an architect how splendid i should introduce you to my family they'll be terribly impressed no i doubt
26:13it i'm a modernist in my experience the money classes are highly conservative in their tastes
26:20now you i suspect are a radical i like to think i have an open mind
26:25why else would you be here unchaperoned i don't care a fig for such nonsense
26:31i suspect your mother does and what she doesn't know can't hurt her
26:39do you have a card in 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 hardly an illustrious address and it's a garret
27:20proposal to admit montagu darty to the board i don't expect you to like it
27:26is an imbecile but if we're to get the votes we need
27:37last minute addition to the agenda item five reputational risk and remedial action

29:13item five
29:16reputational risk and remedial action
29:20yes
29:22i'm afraid
29:23there have been alarming rumors implicating one of our own which
29:27should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients could lead them to take their business elsewhere
29:32what rumors are these
29:35concerning a
29:36senior partner
29:39debauching a serving
29:40that is not what happened
29:42that is not who she was and those are not the circumstances

29:46in the dark
29:47my 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 child
30:02twins to be precise
30:04now ten years of age living with her mother in london
30:08and distasteful as some of you doubtless may find it
30:11distasteful
30:12try scandalous
30:14inexcusable
30:15what we can't ignore is that many of our clients will
30:18find such liaison
30:20distasteful
30:21but of course they will
30:25because such things have never happened in respectable families
30:29good lord
30:30what a nurse
30:31and it'll be the first misstep
30:33that this family has never made
30:36well more for goodness sake

30:38please
30:42may i ask what brings you here today
30:44curiosity

31:00can i not see what my marriage settlement bought
31:03mater
31:05the matter in hand
31:07concerns the irrevocable damage to company reputation should joe be
31:11so remain within its ranks

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
31:56yes
31:56though i trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of company funds
32:02i'd rest assured
32:03i have no intention of asking anyone here to take responsibility for my obligations

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 all of that, I still would have come.
35:03Wasn't to be.
35:04No, it wasn't.
35:08Goodbye, Joe.
35:12Goodbye.
35:23Goodbye.
35:25Goodbye.
35:31Goodbye.
35:54Miss Renegades.
36:02Can I be of assistance?
36:05No one can.
36:12Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?
36:32I find that cocoa is the answer to most hills.
36:35Even 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,
36:51smiling adoringly,
36:54as 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.
37:14Well, I'm glad you were.
37:28I can't see you.
37:29I can't.
37:45I can't see you.
37:50I can't see you.
37:51I can't see you.
37:57Come.
38:05I've brought Miss Heron to see you.
38:07I congratulate you.
38:10Thank you, Grandmama.
38:13For catching them all unawares.
38:17But not you.
38:19The Carteret girl was too obvious.
38:21Not 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?
39:01You're not to be expelled.
39:03So 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 Forsyte family.
40:01Are you aware of its peculiarities?
40:03Everyone has been welcoming.
40:07And Soames?
40:10What 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.
40:26My wants are modest.
40:29And what are those wants?
40:31To love and be loved.
40:34To trust and be trusted.
40:37To dance.
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 have tremors.
41:01My pulse races and I feel faint.
41:04Some poets call that love.
41:07What would you call it?
41:10A prelude.
41:12To 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.
42:13So, do we think this wedding is a love match?
42:16How can anyone not marry for love?
42:22Because love is only part of what makes a marriage.
42:27Respect.
42:29Patience.
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?
43:13You've had him at home his entire life.
43:26It'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, he 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, the 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 that hers 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.
44:58Bye.
45:00Bye.
45:08Bye.
45:09Bye.
45:09Bye.
45:11Bye.
45:55Perhaps she's had a change of heart.
45:58If she has any sense.
46:00Mama, where is she?
46:02I don't know.
46:26Mama, where is she?
46:57Mama, where is she?
47:15Mama, where is she?
47:18Mama, where is she?
47:55Mama, where is she?
47:55Mama, where is she?
47:58Her true love is what matters.
48:01A meeting of minds.
48:04A conjunction of souls.
48:06That is what matters.
48:08Good.
48:09We agree.
48:41We agree.
49:14You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on from them.
49:27That wasn't what I said.
49:33It was implied.
49:35I said my commitment to you is beyond doubt.
49:39But to suggest that I've moved on from them will be to deny that any of it mattered.
49:45Well, of course, I accept that you were once fond of her.
49:48I wasn't fond, Frances.
49:52My children were conceived of love.
50:07So let us be clear.
50:11That love, as you call it, has no place in this house.
50:15So kill it.
50:17Once and for all.
50:21We'll face the consequences.
50:42For what?
50:45It was showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed.
50:54Till I met you.
50:55Hmm.
51:08Oh.
51:10Oh.
51:12Oh.
51:18Oh.
51:20Oh.
51:21Oh.
