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.
05:25Oh, God.
05:26Mm-hm.
05:28Mm-hm.
05:31Mm-hm.
05:32Oh, God.
05:32Mm-hm.
05:40Mm-hm.
05:44There we go.
06:17If you loved her, why did you marry my mom?
06:25Because your mother was, is.
06:29An incredible woman.
06:32Cultured, caring, kind.
06:34And I valued that.
06:39In those early days after Venice, I was sometimes a little lost.
06:44And had you known about her situation, what would you have done?
06:57I can't answer that.
07:01You just did.
07:05June, wait.
07:27You've heard 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.
09:39May I now have the honor
09:41of introducing you to my family?
09:46My love?
09:49Yes.
09:50Yes.
10:29Mama was always fond of that one.
10:31She was a fine woman.
10:34Not a fast love, but a lasting one.
10:44So, it's a full turn-out tomorrow?
10:47What's this?
10:48Epson races.
10:50Monty'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 Depsom, 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 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...
12:16Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
12:24Cheer 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!
12:58Please!
13:21No!
13:22No!
13:23No!
13:23No!
13:23Oh, so...
13:25So close.
13:26So close.
13:27You 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?
13:52If we value your life, never ask if she's feeling tired or would like a chair.
13:56Oh, no, she already made that clear.
13:59I'm with child, Jo. I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
14:07How are things with Francis?
14:09Just saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.
14:12Neither of us reckon with.
14:15And 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.
14:34Pa 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 the family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately
14:51vague.
14:51Of course.
14:58Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron, my family.
15:03How do you do?
15:07Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.
15:09Not at all. I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.
15:15Hmm. And 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.
15:40Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence, after which we depart for Europe.
15:45On your honeymoon? How thrilling. Where will you go?
15:49Tradition 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. My 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 save a fortnight from now is too soon.
16:41A fortnight?
16:43Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
16:46An ordeal.
16:53Hey!
16:55Oh!
16:57Oh!
16:58Oh!
16:59Oh!
17:00Oh!
17:00Oh!
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.
17:34Oh, 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, when Joe's dug himself a hole,
17:58we've had a clear shot at the chairmanship and you're about to go gallivanting off around the continent.
18:03Perhaps we should just leave Joe to it.
18:06Are 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?
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?
18:47Sure.
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.
20:12Thanks, everybody.
20:13Bye for now.
20:14Bye for now.
20:14Bye for now.
20:18Bye for now.
20:19Bye for now.
20:23Bye for now.
20:25Bye for now.
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
20:44stepping so far outside your milieu i thank you for your concern but i can only start
20:49as i mean to go on by doing what feels right
21:07so i was thinking crimson or burgundy my husband says don't be extravagant which is rich coming
21:14from him when he outspends his allowance every month and then blames me because he has no
21:18profession it's hardly my fault my father and uncle won't give him a role in the company
21:22i sort of haven't hinted at it countless times but i just keep saying we have a reputation to
21:27uphold at foresight and co foresight but your name's darty yes by marriage foresight by birth
21:35you know my cousin-in-law mrs francis foresight yes yes
21:43i i should perhaps warn you i'm snowed under with orders it could be months before your gown is
21:50ready in which case i'd quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere
21:56elsewhere i should think not and her tone almost as if she was wishing me gone and why would that
22:02be
22:03thank 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
22:27without succumbing to family pressures
22:33one lives in hope
22:39joe father the dressmaker's children well well well the dirty dog how appalling but it does play into
22:51our hands how so he 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 of
23:03these could be said to jeopardize the reputation of the firm but it happened before he and francis met
23:07some might call it a youthful indiscretion well they'd be wrong such behavior yes monty
23:13what is it
23:18am i looking in my club
23:25does he perform
23:27any useful function he could
23:30given a chance if this is yet another bid to give him a role
23:34not a role a seat on the board
23:37you are joking the board meets tomorrow yes and your plan is to expel joe from the company
23:44do 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
24:06esteemed lecturer and philanthropist mrs ellen parker barrington you believe you have no voice
24:14i believe the same
24:17i've been confused
24:20ignored
24:21disrespected
24:23in my time
24:24oh but trust me
24:26i'm under no illusion
24:28it is my wealth
24:30my standing
24:31which now confers power
24:33commands respect
24:35demands attention
24:36my late husband owned woolen mills in the north
24:42once viewed his workers as commodities
24:46expendable
24:48but he was brought to see them as precious human souls
24:54worthy of respect
24:57of dignity
24:59of proper recompense
25:02so
25:04change is possible
25:07and i owe those who have not been as fortunate as i
25:12to challenge
25:14ignorance
25:15and injustice
25:17wherever i see it
25:22i invite you
25:25to do the same
25:43mr
25:43renegade
25:46mr buccanere

26:10i should introduce you to my family they'll be terribly impressed
26:12no 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
26:22are a radical
26:23i like to think i have an open mind
26:25why else would you be here unchaperoned
26:28i don't care a fig for such nonsense
26:31i suspect your mother does
26:33and 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
26:56the
26:57culver street
26:57hardly an illustrious address and it's a garret
27:00oh i adore garrets
27:21proposal to admit montague darty to the board i don't expect you to like it
27:26he's 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
27:45so here we are here we are
27:52let battle commence
28:10large brandy in the day's papers shop shop item number four the proposed election of montague darty
28:18to the board proposer
28:26seconded
28:31all those in favor
28:36those against
28:45montague darty is elected to the board
28:50i suppose you should let him in
29:00for those who voted in my favor good choice
29:08all right item five reputational risk and remedial action
29:22yes i'm afraid there have been alarming rumors implicating one of our own which should they reach
29:29the ears of our more eminent clients could lead them to take their business elsewhere
29:33what rumors are these concerning a senior partner
29:39debauching a serving man that is not what happened that is not who she was and those are not the
29:44circumstances
29:44and 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
29:58some days ago i learned that when we parted she was with child
30:02twins to be precise now ten years of age living with her mother in london
30:08and distasteful as some of you doubtless may find it distasteful
30:13try scandalous inexcusable what we can't ignore is that many of our clients will
30:19find such liaison distasteful but of course they will
30:24because such things have never happened in respectable families
30:29good lord what a nurse and it'll be the first misstep that this family has never made
30:36for goodness sake gentlemen please
30:42may i ask what brings you here today curiosity this is most irregular we do not admit
30:50ladies into the inner sanctum oh the inner sanctum that solely exists because i paid for it
31:00can i not see what my marriage settlement bought mater the matter in hand concerns the irrevocable
31:09damage to company reputation should joe remain within its ranks we are inviting him
31:14to step away for the good of the family name the good of the family name ah
31:20our sainted family devoid of scandal closets skeletal remains
31:35yes but the effect the damage to our reputation there will be
31:39no damage the matter can be hushed up and the girl paid off please allow me to deal with this
31:48if we could be certain of the girl's discretion we could
31:53agree to turn a blind eye but though i trust he's not expecting any settlement to come out of
32:00company funds oh rest assured i have no intention of asking anyone here to take responsibility for my
32:07obligations
32:09the fact remains i had two children of whom i'm not ashamed
32:16nor of myself
32:25well you heard him
32:27no remorse disappointing has to go with regret
32:35i propose that jolian foresight be expelled from the company
32:48all those in favor
33:00it's fine um
33:02thank you thank you
33:05why are you here i'm not content with how we left things more is due to you and the children
33:10nothing is due we're content
33:13didn't you have the right to deprive them by refusing my support
33:16deprive them did they look deprived no that's not what i meant can i not want them to have a
33:23better
33:23life have you given at the slightest thought to how my life has been since we parted
33:30no i can only imagine can you a 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 there's jugglers will you come
34:01hang on

34:26i
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.
35:09Goodbye, Joe.
35:16Goodbye, Joe.
35:54Is there any case?
36:01Can I be of assistance?
36:05I won't, Captain.
36:12Well, can I at least offer you some cocoa?
36:31I 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, 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.
37:14Well, I'm glad you were.
37:15I've heard you.
37:15I need you.
37:36I need you.
37:43I see you.
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.
39:26Our 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 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.
41:13To 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.
41:47To our wedding day.
41:49Hmm.
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.
43:01This could have been the event of the season.
43:04rather than some low-key hole-in-the-corner travesty.
43:07I just wish it hadn't come so soon.
43:11Soon, Emily?
43:13You'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, 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 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.
44:55No matter.
44:56No more.
45:31Let's go.
45:56Perhaps she's had a change of heart.
45:58If she has any sense.
46:00Mama, where is she?
46:02I don't know.
46:27Mama, where is she?
46:57Mama, where is she?
47:15Mama, where is she?
47:18Mama, where is she?
47:55Mama, where is she?
47:58But true love is what matters.
48:01A meeting of minds.
48:03A conjunction of souls.
48:06That is what matters.
48:08Good.
48:10We agree.
49:13You see, it wasn't that hard, deciding to move on from them.
50:43For what?
50:45Showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed.
50:52Till I met you.
