00:41The call of duty, is it to ourselves or to others?
00:54Each generation debates the dilemma.
01:01Follow the money or follow your heart.
01:14The call of duty, is it to ourselves?
01:44June and I agree, you mustn't reproach yourself.
01:48The children, it's not as if you left them unprovided for.
01:54They'll inherit a considerable sum when they reach their maturity.
01:59They will.
02:02And I understand the struggle.
02:05The power of first love, and when there are consequences...
02:08I've cut ties with her, Frances.
02:12There's nothing more to be said.
02:15And for that, June and I are grateful.
02:19So, may we now turn our attention to the carterettes?
02:26Brace you.
02:29Figaro, he's slower than treacle.
02:45I feel quite neglected.
02:49Two weeks and not even a postcard.
02:53Surely he can't be that busy.
02:55Oh, I don't know.
02:57Well, firstly, I'm enjoying the peace.
03:00So much less drama.
03:04I doubt Joe would agree with you.
03:06Oh, Monty.
03:07Yes!
03:11Once the dust has settled, we need to implement the succession without delay.
03:15Why the urgency?
03:23I waited a long time.
03:25To become chairman.
03:28Nothing prepares you for the loneliness.
03:32The lack of a mentor.
03:34Everyone waiting for you to fail.
03:45So, I want you to take on the mantle now, while I'm still here to guide you.
03:50And since Soames is away, we can use his absence.
03:56To do what?
03:57To assure the doubters that you and not he are the man for the job.
04:09When will you tell them?
04:11I've already written to my father.
04:21I told him Forsyte and Co. should explore new markets.
04:24That I intend to set up an office here in Paris, where I can have complete autonomy.
04:30Won't he applaud that?
04:32No.
04:33He'll want me in London.
04:35Fulfilling his lifelong ambition.
04:36To thwart his brother.
04:38Oh, believe me, I do a better job than my cousin, but I've told him I need a new challenge.
04:43You have me.
04:45Am I not challenge enough?
04:48You are.
04:50Let me see.
04:51What are you?
04:54A wild thing.
04:57A wood nymph.
04:59A goddess.
05:02I saw the sunrise today.
05:05What?
05:07Where?
05:08When?
05:10In the gardens.
05:12You went out alone?
05:15I loved the early morning night.
05:18But, my darling, we're husband and wife now.
05:20We should want to do everything together.
05:24Everything?
05:25Is that not what marriage is about?
05:30Of course.
05:32The next time I'll wake you.
05:34Hmm.
05:39Ah, Forsyte.
05:41Is it true?
05:43Soames missing in action?
05:44Yes.
05:45Miss Honeymoon.
05:46Poor excuse, I grant you.
05:48Can I help?
05:49Hmm.
05:49Salon Gold.
05:50Sir Jimmy Buckland's venture.
05:52Soames told me it's a gold mine.
05:55Literally.
05:56Good.
05:57Count me in.
05:59To the tune of...
06:02Well, it's your choice, of course, Mr. Cully, but...
06:06I'd advise against.
06:08I...
06:09Sir Jim has a dubious safety record.
06:12Prone to accidents and human fatalities.
06:15I really...
06:15And?
06:16If there are a few careless laborers lost down a mine.
06:21Small price to pay for such fabulous returns.
06:23Couldn't agree more.
06:24James Forsyte.
06:25Allow me to expedite your purchase this way.
06:30With me?
07:54Mrs. Farrington.
07:56Anna, what a lovely surprise.
07:58Oh, my dear Louisa.
08:03You don't look a day older.
08:05That's kind of you to say.
08:08How's it been?
08:09A struggle, but so much worse if you hadn't stepped in.
08:12I take no credit.
08:14I gave you a helping hand.
08:16The rest you've done yourself.
08:19Oh.
08:21How...
08:23How...
08:24Inspiring.
08:25Inspiring.
08:26And to that end...
08:30I have a favor to beg.
08:32Of course.
08:33Anything.
08:34I hesitate to ask.
08:36It would involve a risk.
08:38And it concerns...
08:40My forthcoming fundraising event.
09:01June.
09:02My forthcoming husband.
09:08Aunt Philip of Culver Street.
09:10June Renegade of High Park.
09:12June Renegade of High Park.
09:34I thought you might not come.
09:35It was very impertinent of you to ask me.
09:38But perhaps you think the rules of polite society don't apply to us.
09:41Perhaps I think they're petty.
09:42Parochial?
09:43Irrational.
09:48Seriously, can men and women not be friends?
09:52Do friends accept gifts?
09:58Cute.
10:03Recite me one.
10:08When old age shall this generation waste, thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe than ours, a friend to
10:15man, to whom thou sayest...
10:17Beauty is truth.
10:19Truth, beauty.
10:20That is all you know on earth.
10:23And all you need to know.
10:31Where shall we live?
10:34Versailles.
10:36The Tuileries.
10:38The Champs-Elysees.
10:42When I was tiny, we lived in three rooms above a baker's shop.
10:48And my father bought me a canary.
10:53But my mother said that wild things should never be kept in cages.
10:58So she let it fly away.
11:00No doubt to be eaten by a cat.
11:07Well, three rooms won't do for us.
11:10We shall need to entertain.
11:13Forge connections.
11:14Oh, now you're about to discover my guilty secret.
11:18My mum never taught me how to play the hostess.
11:22That's it.
11:23Our marriage is over.
11:27You realise we'll have a housekeeper, servants?
11:31And your mother will think me woefully lacking.
11:33I'm sure she already thinks I've led you astray.
11:37Led me astray?
11:41Have you?
11:44My father taught me university was a waste of time and money.
11:49Likewise, Europe.
11:51The Grand Tour.
11:53So at 16, I was on the floor of the stock exchange.
11:57Learning the ropes.
11:59Now, don't mistake me, none of it was wasted.
12:01But now is my duty to the company or to myself.
12:25You haven't led me astray.
12:28You've set me free.
12:48Someone's all of a glow.
12:51Well, it must be the ride.
12:53The wind was bracing.
12:55Suits you.
12:57You should go more often.
12:59Well, I think I will.
13:19So, the hunt is on.
13:22Will it be a chase or a trap?
13:26Frances will have it all planned.
13:28She learned from the master.
13:31Utterly brazen.
13:33Might as well stick her on a plate with an apple in her mouth.
13:36Olivia sends her regrets.
13:39She's visiting the Fitzgeralds.
13:41She and young Antony have formed an attachment.
13:44Oh, how delightful.
13:45That was quick.
13:47Poor Cyril finds it all so confusing.
13:50Shall we find you a little treat?
13:53Why don't you?
13:53There we are.
13:56Have you met Mrs. Parker Barrington?
13:59She's back in London.
14:00I'd be happy to introduce you.
14:02Oh, no.
14:03No need.
14:04I knew her in Geneva when she was first married.
14:07Sweet girl.
14:09Husband and absolute zidic.
14:12She and I hiked the Matterhorn together.
14:22And I understand you have an extensive collection of moths.
14:28Yes.
14:29I've been longing to know.
14:31What distinguishes a moth from a butterfly?
14:34Oh, well, in fact, they do have things in common.
14:37Both belong to the Lepidoptera species, from the Greek Lepis meaning scale, and Terum meaning wing.
14:44Oh, fascinating.
14:51Well, that could hardly have gone better.
14:55June was transformed.
14:58You did her very proud.
15:02Suspended evening.
15:04Do you really think she's had a change of heart?
15:06It would certainly make things easier.
15:42Soames.
15:44Finally.
15:47I trust he's announcing his imminent return.
15:50I don't know.
15:52I don't know.
15:52I don't know.
15:54I don't know.
15:54I don't know.
15:55I don't know.
16:00I don't know.
16:04I don't know.
16:05I don't know.
16:05I don't know.
16:05I don't know.
16:07I don't know.
16:08I don't know.
16:08I don't know.
16:08I don't know.
16:09I don't know.
16:11I don't know.
16:13I don't know.
16:15I don't know.
16:21not coming home
16:22on my heart I shall faint
16:24can it be true?
16:25it must be her doing
16:26well you can't deny she's a bewitching little creature
16:30what can he be thinking?
16:32setting up on his own in Paris of all places
16:34although
16:36with Soames Gone might a fellow step up
16:38what fellow?
16:40someone with expertise on risk investment
16:43gambling you mean?
16:45and for the mantle of favoured child
16:47think about it Freddie
16:48with Soames away
16:49you and I are the preeminent pair of our generation
16:54nobody is to hear of this
16:56understood?
16:57of course
16:57for my honour
17:00my heart will break
17:03how should we live without him?
17:22prepare yourselves
17:28is he serious?
17:29no he's clever
17:31if Joe gets the chair
17:32do you see Soames taking orders?
17:34this way he gets to be master of his own domain
17:36good thinking
17:37no not good
17:39defeatist
17:40Joe mustn't be allowed to get the chair
17:42Soames must return and fight his corner
17:45I need to send a telegram
17:51dear Mrs. Forsyte
17:53so good of you to come
17:54did I hear
17:56there may soon be exciting news
17:58about your daughter
17:59and young Horatio
18:01I couldn't possibly comment
18:05Lady Carter at her cell
18:07dropped a hint
18:10she's asked me
18:11to donate to her charity
18:13for the reclamation
18:14of fallen women
18:16and I wondered whether you might be persuaded
18:19to join us
18:22of course
18:23one must support
18:25any scheme that takes these wretched creatures
18:27off the streets
18:29perhaps we can find ways
18:30to alleviate their wretchedness
18:36they're both very hot
18:38try to get some sleep my darlings
18:40I don't like it
18:41what Mrs. Barrington wants you to do
18:43she couldn't have asked me
18:44her worst time
18:45with all these foresights buzzing around
18:47she wasn't to know
18:48I've never told who the children's father was
18:50if you do it
18:54it could ruin you
19:19an invitation to Frampton Park
19:22oh

20:04My chef, Marie, my friends for the Côte des Balais, Yvette Colette Patrice Fictor.
20:10Hello, Marie.
20:11Hello.
20:12Enchanté.
20:13Bonjour.
20:16Bonjour.
20:17Enchanté.
20:18Allons-y.
20:19Allez, allez tout le monde.
20:20Allez, on s'assoit.
20:24Oh, mes chers amis.
20:28Oh, c'est magnifique.
20:30Alors, champagne.
20:31Vous êtes prêts, les gars?
20:32On célèbre, n'est-ce pas?
20:34Mais non.
20:36Il faut absolument essayer notre spécialité de maison, l'absinthe.
20:42Ça a une idée.
20:44Allez, la tournée.
20:47Allez, tous ensemble.
20:48Regardez, regardez.
20:49Oh, c'est parti.
21:07Oh, c'est parti.
21:13Oh, c'est parti.
21:16Oh, c'est parti.
21:23How could I be so stupid?
21:27I thought if I appeared compliant, then Mama would be more sympathetic, would take my wishes into account.
21:34But now that's...
21:36Frampton Park.
21:37Yes.
21:40That can only mean one thing.
21:44He intends to propose.
21:57I suppose we'll never meet again.
22:00I wish you could be otherwise.
22:05Perhaps you should marry me.
22:09I think I'd prefer it.
22:15No.
22:17I really would prefer it.
22:20June, let's be serious.
22:22How on earth would we live?
22:23Well, I'd have my settlement.
22:24There'll be no settlement.
22:25If your father refuses his consent, and believe me, he will.
22:28Then we'll run away.
22:29And live on what?
22:30I have debts.
22:32No reputation.
22:33I'm yet to secure a meaningful commission.
22:35Sometimes I live on cocoa for a week.
22:36Well, none of this matters if we love each other.
22:43I...
22:44I shouldn't have said that.
22:47But you did.
22:58And...
23:01So...
23:03So...
23:05So...
23:28It's great.
23:31When will you have the pleasure to see you dance with us?
23:34Where will I join them at the Cours du Ballet?
23:36I have a letter of reference to Madame Le Nœur in Londres.
23:41If I can join them at the start of the new season.
23:45Champagne.
23:47But what?
23:49You don't have the absence?
23:50One can have too much of a good thing.
24:10So, do you intend to make a habit of advising clients against surefire investment?
24:19What's this?
24:20Salon Gold.
24:21As predicted.
24:23Colossal profits.
24:24But it seems Joe is unable to conquer his squeamishness.
24:28I doubt I will.
24:29You should ask Darty.
24:31Sure he's made of sterner stuff?
24:33Did I hear my name?
24:34Sir Jimmy Buckland's gold mine.
24:37Shares currently showing a 40% uplift.
24:40Ooh, I like the sound of that.
24:48The purpose of this firm is solely to make a profit for its clients.
24:53But if the heir apparent shows queasiness at its methods, is he really acting in our best interest?
25:11It appears Horatio Carteret is partial to June.
25:16Hmm.
25:17Wow.
25:19Think of that.
25:20When we go to Frampton Park, I believe he will ask for her hand.
25:26Hmm.
25:27And he's the heir.
25:28Which eventually means, of course, that June herself will be Lady Carteret.
25:32Just what those high mighties need.
25:35Bit of spark and personality.
25:39Feather in your cap, my dear.
25:41And to you too, June, of course.
25:44Assuming her father consents?
25:47Why wouldn't he?
25:49Can you think of a reason?
25:52Not unless June can.
25:57My love?
26:02Sorry.
26:03It's miles away.
26:04What was the question?
26:07Is there any reason I shouldn't consent to you marrying Horatio Carteret?
26:11Well, yes.
26:14I believe there is.
26:15On account of the fact that I'm already engaged.
26:21His name's Philip Bassini.
26:24He's an architect.
26:25One of the new school and very bright.
26:28He lives on Culver Street.
26:30It's also his office.
26:32He's still awaiting his first commission, but he's so talented.
26:36He's sure to be in great demand once the one...
26:38Darling, that's enough.
26:40No one finds this remotely amusing.
26:42I don't know.
26:45I met him at the opera.
26:47He's a modernist and utterly rejects outmoded traditions such as...
26:52Asking your father for his daughter's hand before he proposes?
26:56Well, actually...
26:58I proposed.
26:59Well, of course you did.
27:02Am I to understand there's actually some truth to this ridiculous...
27:08June?
27:10What are you doing?
27:13Following my heart.
27:17Oh, dear.
27:18But how did...
27:20Where could you tell her?
27:22It's out of the question.
27:23June.
27:24A word, please.
27:35Did you know anything about this?
27:37Why would I?
27:38We know she likes to confide in you.
27:42Perhaps she thought I'd disapprove.
27:44Which obviously you do.
27:52You don't understand.
27:54He's not like anyone I've ever known.
27:56He cares about things that matter, about right and wrong.
28:00He doesn't want to control me.
28:02He wants me to be just who I am.
28:04And that's unlike anyone you've ever known?
28:05Yes.
28:14So I should meet him.
28:16So I should meet him.
28:23I can't wait a day.
28:35You should meet him.
28:37I can't wait.
28:40I can't wait.
28:41You should meet him...
29:59What is it?
30:04Why are you looking at me like that?
30:08May a man not look upon his most treasured possession.
30:13Am I really such a thing?
30:16And more.
30:41How could I have done this?
30:45I failed to communicate the foresight imperative.
30:50Seize the crown, lead, instead of playing second fiddle.
30:59What's been the point of my life if not to set my son on the chair?
31:03Is that what you put in your telegram?
31:06Obviously not.
31:09I told him if he didn't take the next train home from Paris, I'd come and drag him home by
31:12his earload.
31:14Oh, well, that'll do it.
31:25This way, sir.
31:31Oh, Mr. Bassini.
31:37Please.
31:46Ladies, you've done me the honor of inviting me to join your campaign.
31:53And while I suspect that the scale of my donation may have influenced your choice,
32:00I hope I may have something more than guineas to offer.
32:16No doubt you think we're presumptuous, daring to aspire to the hand of an heiress.
32:22As you can see, my cuff's afraid, my coat is worn, and to demonstrate the gulf between us,
32:27you invite me to a place whose membership fee is four times my annual salary.
32:32Actually, I chose it because it's around the corner from your office.
32:39Tell me about yourself.
32:47I'm a radical.
32:50I've declined bow to convention.
32:55My family's undistinguished.
32:57My studies have left me in debt.
32:58So if you've come here to tell me that I must look elsewhere, I can't...
33:01I've come here to ask why you love my daughter.
33:10I've never met anyone like her.
33:13We see the world in the same way.
33:17She's spirited and brave.
33:20And, yes, I love her.
33:22And if you don't believe me, then...
33:24Oh, what if I do believe you?
33:27You've supported this cause long before I arrived.
33:31The hostels you fund for the women you save.
33:34The clergy you pay to instruct them in the error of their ways.
33:39The homes you find amongst the childless gentry for their wretched offspring.
33:44No one can doubt the rigor of your purpose.
33:48But what is the ultimate aim of your charity?
33:51Punishment?
33:52Moral superiority?
33:54Or material assistance?
33:57Let me introduce to you a lady whose history you may find instructive.
34:10Some of you know me.
34:11You honour me with your custom.
34:15I'm kind enough to invite me into your homes.
34:18Ten years ago, I was penniless.
34:20Homeless.
34:22Mrs. Parker Barrington heard of my distress.
34:26She could have judged me.
34:28Made a reckoning of my failings.
34:30But instead, she asked me how she could help.
34:33She found me lodgings.
34:34A midwife.
34:36Sustenance.
34:37She asked me what skills I possessed and employed me as a dressmaker.
34:40Recommended me to her friends.
34:42Many of you have helped to make me what I am today.
34:46Not a burden on society.
34:49But a contributor.
34:52Heartwarming story.
34:54But there's a vast difference between you and the women that we try to help.
34:59You are not what we call fallen.
35:02And if I was, would I deserve the workhouse?
35:05My children removed.
35:06Myself consigned to penitence and shame.
35:09Widowhood and poverty are not sins.
35:20I wasn't a widow.
35:24My children were born out of wedlock.
35:28Their father...
35:39Died.
35:41Before they were born.
35:47Now do you judge me?
35:50Do I appear less deserving to you now?
35:54Not to me.
35:57And not, I hope, to any here.
36:03Thank you so much.
36:07Thank you so much.
36:45Forgive me, I must go.
36:54You don't strike me as a fortune hunter.
37:00How would you support her?
37:03I will.
37:05That is, at present.
37:07I can't.
37:08But I have prospects.
37:10I'm currently seeking a major commission.
37:12But is money the be-all and end-all?
37:15It is for those who are used to it.
37:20I can't agree to this marriage.
37:25Until you've completed your first commission.
37:30Until then I consent to an engagement.
37:35I have no doubt we'll be seeing a lot of each other.
38:02I'm here, my dear ones.
38:03I'm here now.
38:10You agreed to an engagement.
38:13Why?
38:16He's impulsive, argumentative, and currently without means.
38:20It could be years before he makes his first commission.
38:23Exactly.
38:24And by then the romance would have lost his sheen.
38:27All stood the test of time.
38:29And you're willing to take that chance?
38:34What is this?
38:37You living vicariously.
38:40Allowing June to do what you always regretted not doing.
38:46Not in the slightest.
38:50I'm wholly at peace with my decision.
39:01I knew it.
39:02You were never going to consent because you've no idea how it feels to truly follow your heart.
39:09So go on.
39:09Tell me.
39:20Will you give you permission to get engaged?
39:25She...
39:31And now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier.
39:45Is there a pact to lower the tone of this family?
39:51First Soames, now June.
39:54There's no one regard for pedigree.
39:57You'll note the lack of announcement.
40:00June's engagement?
40:01No surprise.
40:03I wouldn't advertise such a mismatch.
40:06No wonder the engagement party is closed family only.
40:10Poor Frances had such high hopes.
40:13She must be so disappointed.
40:21Did I ever tell you that when I was five I fell into the Seine?
40:25Where were your parents?
40:27Beside me.
40:27But I could swim so my mother was happy for me to take risks.
40:31She was a gambler?
40:32Mm-hmm.
40:33Like you?
40:34With other people's money?
40:36I take calculated risks.
40:38Mm-hmm.
40:39Like chance in your happiness for someone you barely know.
40:44Come with me.
40:46I have a surprise.
40:51Isaac mentioned June's engagement.
40:54Oh, we couldn't be more delighted.
40:56Of course, June could have had her pick, but we believe that young people should follow their hearts.
41:01Oh, I wholly agree.
41:03I want to thank you for joining us the other day.
41:07I hope you were persuaded of the cause.
41:11Dear Louisa, she's such a shining example of what can be achieved.
41:16Yes, yes, very commendable.
41:20Still, it's a struggle with two little ones to take care of.
41:24I mean, they both go down with a fever.
41:27Well, I'm so sorry.
41:28I have to dash.
41:29I'm expected at the Devonshires for luncheon.
41:43Are they very sick?
41:46Scarlet fever, apparently.
41:50Poor darlings.
41:51And you, later, you're out.

44:21of the rehearsals. I honestly just can't wait for you to see me dance. Oh, just imagine.
44:27You can meet me at the stage door every night. And when we're settled in our new apartment,
44:32we go to the cafeteria floor.
44:33No, that's it.
44:46And when we're settled in our new apartment, should we invite your family to come visit?
44:52Yes. Yes, of course. My love, there's something I haven't mentioned. A telegram from my father.
45:03Is he well? Beside himself. But I told him my plans in a letter when I should have done
45:09it face to face. What was I thinking? I believe I must return.
45:18Cut short our honeymoon. And my audition, should I rearrange?
45:23By all means. But you must see I owe my father an explanation. I'm a person.
45:33Of course. Of course, I do see that. So let's return to London and settle things. Once and
45:43through.
46:12How do we know that this fellow isn't some money-grubbing opportunist?
46:19What is Frances thinking?
46:21She will know that when the heart is set on something, the more it's forbidden, the more it's craved.
46:30Surely you don't imagine June wants this boy just to prove she can have it?
46:36I once knew a couple of young men who pursued the same girl simply so the other wouldn't get her.
46:47Let me fetch you a drink.
47:04Something a mess?
47:06What?
47:09Nothing to concern you.
47:13No one would believe we used to be best of friends.
47:16It was a long time ago.
47:19Before the old man pitted us against each other.
47:23Yes, shape up, make sacrifices.
47:27Was it a sacrifice?
47:30For you?
47:33Alexandra?
47:38No more than it was for you.
47:42Do you sometimes wonder where she disappeared to?
47:46As do I.
47:50Still, it all turned out for the best.
47:54Emily and you?
47:56Edith and I?
47:58Yes.
48:00Splendid women.
48:04Saved us from ourselves.
48:12I almost feel sorry for him.
48:14Don't.
48:16Did you see his hat?
48:18Left it on a chair and Emily must have took it for a cat.
48:25Uncle James, you look as if you'd like to commission a new house and here's Phil just brimming with clever
48:32ideas.
48:32I suspect your uncle's perfectly content with his own house.
48:35But should the opportunity ever arise, I'm sure you could come to my office and view my portfolio.
48:40There, now.
48:41What a kind invitation.
48:46Well, here we are.
48:47Frances and I ask you to join us in raising a glass to the newly engaged couple.
48:53June and Philip.
48:55June and Philip.
49:03How to thwart a rebel, take away their cause.
49:17Come what?
49:20Come what's next?
49:22Come here.
49:25Come what's next?
49:27I know.
49:40I don't know.
50:30Are they?
50:35Please tell me they're not.
50:38They're not.
50:40Their fever's passed.
50:41They're sleeping.
50:45Thank God.
