00:45And so it begins, the crumbling of the polished facade, the unraveling of the carefully
00:55curated life we've built for ourselves.
01:01Free of scandal and inconvenient truths, of hidden desires and secret longings.
01:10But should they emerge?
01:12Do we let them lie?
01:15Or do we pursue them?
01:17And are we prepared for the consequences?
01:25Who was that lady that just called?
01:30Did she upset you?
01:33No, no, not at all.
01:34I just, um, come here and take your lingters.
01:37Yes.
01:41But it's horrible.
01:42And so is whooping cough.
01:48Now go and do your reading.
01:50Go.
02:14So, I was thinking, Mama, I need a new riding coat, so should we visit Miss Louisa today?
02:19Oh, uh, I think not.
02:23She mentioned last night she's booked up for several months in advance.
02:27Well, she'll fit me in.
02:30And I want to take some bonbons for the children.
02:33No.
02:36No.
02:39No.
02:39Their mother may not want them to have sweet things.
02:46It's so sad for Mama.
02:48Her father died before they were born.
02:50She had to bring them up all alone.
02:52So brave.
02:53Yes.
02:54Very commendable.
02:56All the more reason not to overburden her.
02:58Are you joining us for the opera tonight?
03:00What is it?
03:02Traviata.
03:03Traviata.
03:04All that weeping and wailing annoys me.
03:07June, you should wear the pink silk.
03:10I've invited the cartarets to our box.
03:14Why?
03:15So we can all become better acquainted.
03:29June must be thrilled.
03:31So many young men clamoring to dance.
03:33What a picture she looked.
03:35And that gown was a triumph.
03:37Almost a disaster.
03:38But the girl worked wonders.
03:40Girl?
03:40You were ogling her, remember?
03:42That little chick a bit.
03:43You might have introduced me.
03:45I took care not to.
03:46She seemed awfully thick with Jo.
03:49The dressmaker?
03:50Who's this?
03:50Pretty young thing.
03:51Quite charming.
03:52Remind me, why she was thick with Jo?
03:55Well, perhaps he was thanking her for saving the day.
03:57Can you get an appointment with her?
03:59That's what I'm hoping for.
04:01After June's war, everyone will be after her.
04:05Shall we?
04:06Hmm.
04:17What are you doing?
04:19Seeking employment.
04:22As a typist.
04:24Oh, how demeaning.
04:27I need something to tide me over until I can find a way to pay for Paris.
04:32Oh, you're still persisting with that madness.
04:36Why wouldn't I?
04:44You're done.
04:49Good.
04:55I'm done.
04:55Good.
04:57Very much.
04:58Thank you very much.
04:59Very well done.
05:00Very well done.
05:01Thank you very well done.
05:01Thank you, sir.
05:01Well done.
05:02Good to see you.
05:03Thank you, darling.
05:05The pointers.
05:06there is no prior instance of a chairman resigning no and therefore no precedent for
05:11the eldest son's accession before his father's death so in the case of joe increasingly at
05:16odds with the aims of the firm if it were brought before the board how much further
05:19he might deviate how that could endanger the future of the company sheer insanity
05:24prizing tradition over merit it's archaic it's wasteful and if it goes ahead a missed
05:30opportunity it is not a foregone conclusion i will insist it be brought before the board
05:34in the meantime we build the case against joe
06:13i saw her at the ball last night the girl from venice
06:21louisa how did she come to be there she makes gowns june's gown
06:28well she's a widow she lives in soho do you have any idea no not an inkling
06:33will you see her again i don't know
06:45were you told you to marry
06:48i chose freely
06:52your father was my first love and when he died i was sure i would never get over him
06:59but he did nothing compares to first love we persuade ourselves the fever is real
07:07and then if we're lucky we meet our true soulmate and discover something more profound so papa's your soulmate
07:21like magnets perhaps the attraction of opposites
07:34gentlemen
07:35gentlemen
07:37today i can announce that foresight and co has been offered a unique opportunity
07:42my old friend sir jimmy buckland has finally succeeded in his scheme to deploy a tribe from
07:47upper india to the gold mines of salon carried in the teeth of great difficulties it should
07:51double the output of his mines and quarter the lives of his workers well whether one expires of
07:57miserable old age on one's own barren soil or prematurely at damp at the bottom of a foreign mine
08:02i hardly have small consequence as long as it benefits the shareholders well i imagine it's
08:07of some consequence to the widows may i continue
08:13thank you sir jim as a personal favor to me has given us advance notice so that we may
08:21use the information to our advantage by offering our clients and indeed ourselves the chance
08:27to invest it is quite literally a golden opportunity
08:35it's a risk
08:37which we have an impeccable record for calculating
08:41still feels like gambling to me
08:48are we agreed
08:57i'll be back later i have an appointment
08:59anyone we know
09:01no
09:26is it to your taste
09:29i could admire the tonal qualities but no it doesn't move me
09:33may i ask what does
09:36a more vibrant style something which captures the fleet in this of a moment rather than preserves
09:42it in aspect
09:44you're a romantic
09:46my stepmother says i'm utterly unfit for decent society
09:49your crime
09:51i dance
09:54the polka
09:55the waltz
09:56the ballet
09:58ah
09:59my mother was a dancer and i seem to have inherited her
10:03talent
10:04passion
10:06there i said it now's your chance to escape
10:09and yet
10:11as you see
10:13i'm
10:14still here
10:33so
10:35no escape
10:36from what
10:38the opera
10:38the carterets
10:40the
10:40scheme
10:42to throw me to the wolves
10:43for issue
10:46now isn't he more of a poodle
10:52well look who i have
10:54i know she's not mine
10:55but
10:56i take her with me when i'm feeling vexed or miserable
11:00and she always cheers me up
11:03is that why you got her
11:06she was a gift
11:08from a friend
11:10someone i met in italy
11:13an attachment
11:16short-lived
11:17let me guess
11:18she wasn't suitable
11:20you were forbidden to pursue her
11:22we just went our separate ways
11:25and then you met mama
11:28yes
11:31i'm not sure i want to fall in love
11:33sounds like torture
11:37well he can also be magnificent
11:45joe never seems to learn
11:46he's today in the boardroom
11:49wittering on about widows and gambling
11:51oh poor cyril
11:53how he frets when he knows i'm going out
11:55shall i stay behind and pet him for you
11:57oh dear no
11:57that would defeat the whole purpose of the evening
12:00the purpose being to dangle june and i before the carterets and hope they bite
12:03what he fails to grasp is the need for us to be led by sound commercial nurse
12:08darling
12:09we simply want you to find someone who deserves you
12:12we were to maintain our position as london's premier brokers
12:15the board should be worried
12:16and you look so handsome
12:18the board will be worried
12:19she won't be able to resist you
12:21i will make sure of that
12:46so glad you could join us lady carteret
12:49oh my dear
12:50to be seen in the company of the illustrious foresights
12:54who wouldn't leap at the chance
12:59lovely to see so many young people
13:01but sad to think they're seldom masters of their own fate
13:06i like to think we take their views into account
13:09tradition is what counts
13:11stability
13:12no impulsive changing of the guard
13:17but sometimes is it not a fresh perspective
13:20that is exactly what is needed
13:21provided the proposed candidates up to the task
13:24i understand you're an avid reader
13:27but i
13:31have you read frankenstein
13:34no i
13:35you'll find you have some sympathy for the creature
13:38no will of its own
13:40forced to do another's bidding
13:42until of course
13:43it rebels
13:51ah
13:51you seem to have left my wife at home
13:55perhaps
13:56i could prevail on your father
13:58or you could just not drink
14:03oh my cousins
14:04mama i might just um
14:06of course
14:25i do beg your pardon
14:26are you hurt
14:30do i look like a damsel in distress
14:33on the contrary
14:35are you here with friends
14:37family
14:38my mother thinks this is the place to meet the right people
14:41would i fall into that category
14:44i seriously doubt it
14:47do i sense a renegade
14:51june foresight
14:52philip bussini
14:57buccaneer
15:24adios de pereza
15:28adios de pereza
15:50I adore Traviata.
15:52Makes one positively melt, don't you find?
16:00Odea, Traviata,
16:08Suvii, alisea,
16:11Odea, Traviata,
16:19Odea, Traviata,
16:33Urta, Urta,
16:38Urta,
16:42Fiiiio,
17:05Did you miss me, Pudding?
17:07Oh, don't sulk.
17:09I promise I'll make it up to you.
17:12Always affecting, Traviata.
17:15Lost love and all that.
17:19Perhaps we should be celebrating love found.
17:24Perhaps we should.
17:41Can you believe June tonight?
17:45Determined not to cooperate.
17:49The Carterets, our plans.
17:54Will you speak to her?
17:57Saying what?
17:59That there's a time and a place for everything.
18:03And the time for June is now.
18:08She's 18.
18:12She has to put away childish things.
18:18She worships you.
18:21If you tell her, we would only ever choose someone worthy of her.
18:28But perhaps you think your father made the wrong choice for you.
18:44I made the choice.
18:45And I have to run away.
18:47Yeah.
18:53Yeah.
19:04Yeah.
19:16you must go
19:21I can't bear to leave you
19:25your family needs you
19:28your father
19:28summoned you home
19:30will there be times
19:33where will you be
19:36Florence, Rome
19:39will you write to me
19:40tell me where you'll be
19:42don't stop
19:46let's not pretend
19:50what
19:52these last few months
19:53have been the most precious of my life
19:55and mine too
19:56but
19:59we always knew they would come to an end
20:03why must they
20:05because
20:05I am a lady's maid
20:07and you're a gentleman
20:08what and no gentleman
20:10never married a lady's maid
20:14you're dreaming
20:18believe me I'm not
20:23if you still feel
20:25this way in a year's time
20:26I feel the same way in 50 years time
20:34then I have your address
20:37all right
20:42wherever you are
20:46I'll come to you
20:47and I'll come to you
20:58you
20:58I'll come to you
21:01I'll come to you
21:24Louisa, Louisa, please.
21:40Please, keep your voice down.
21:44My assistant is asleep.
21:48Why have you come?
21:53Honestly, I don't know.
21:58To prove you aren't a figment of my imagination.
22:04I want to see the only person
22:06who ever completely understood me.
22:10Did we are very different now?
22:13Yet here we are.
22:26Do you still paint?
22:32Really?
22:34It's one of the many things I gave up
22:36to serve the God of Commerce.
22:40Sad to hear it.
22:43Well, tell me about your husband.
22:46Late husband.
22:48Is there any point in...
22:50Well, were you happy?
22:54Did you love him?
23:00Uh, that's...
23:01That's my assistant.
23:03Um, do you sleepwalks?
23:05You must go.
23:08Please don't come here again.
23:09I'm...
23:24I'm...
25:26You were happy there.
25:28When my mother was alive and I could watch her dance.
25:31And you were destined to follow in her footsteps.
25:34As you were destined to follow your father's.
25:38I seem to have a talent for numbers.
25:41In their own way, they have the magic, which intrigues me.
25:44You make them sound quite mysterious.
25:46Oh, they are.
25:47Also immensely practical.
25:50Like you, one learns techniques, one practices one's craft.
25:54But beyond that, one learns to trust one's instincts.
26:02Exactly that?
26:04Not that I lay claim to any form of artistry.
26:07Perhaps you underestimate yourself.
26:20You're dancing.
26:21Is it the only profession you've ever considered?
26:24I've prepared for it my whole life.
26:26And if my audition goes well...
26:28Your audition?
26:29I sold my jewellery to go and try for the Corps du Ballet.
26:32In Paris?
26:33Yes, in Paris.
26:35And when would this be?
26:38I leave in a month.
26:50I'm convinced he has Miss Carteret in his sights.
26:53Parcheter told me he's on the river this afternoon.
26:56With a picnic.
26:58Which can only mean...
26:59An imminent announcement.
27:01I'm sure we can all agree Olivia Carteret is an excellent choice.
27:06Certainly fetch the bell.
27:07For a man destined to be chairman.
27:11Miss Heron.
27:13You've known each other a matter of weeks.
27:15So I have no right to question any choice you might make.
27:18But today when I heard you speak of Paris...
27:20You thought me rash, irresponsible.
27:22Far from it.
27:23I understood the impulse.
27:25The desire.
27:26And I recognized that I wish to encourage it.
27:30Encourage?
27:31It's true that Paris has a somewhat shady reputation.
27:35Though I myself found it captivating.
27:37Where you've been?
27:39In my youth.
27:41And would not be averse to visiting again.
27:44If you were there.
27:47Though my family will no doubt they disapprove.
27:50Perhaps we needn't tell them.
28:08Mrs. Forsythe.
28:12I hope I'm not disturbing you.
28:16Won't you take a seat?
28:23I've always been curious about you.
28:27The girl who first captured his heart.
28:31Not that he ever spoke of you.
28:33One just instinctively knows.
28:36That one wasn't the first.
28:42What made you come to my house?
28:45You begged me to.
28:47And you were curious.
28:50And hoped to see him.
28:51I've never attempted to see him.
28:53I've never tried to contact him.
28:55I've never asked him for anything.
28:58Does he know about the children?
29:01No.
29:02You understand he never can.
29:05It would ruin him.
29:07In his business, reputation is everything.
29:10And in mine.
29:12I came here with nothing.
29:14Single-handedly raised.
29:15His two children.
29:17Whilst building a business.
29:18Do you seriously imagine that I wish to endanger my own good name?
29:21And should he try to see you?
29:25I will tell him to go away.
30:19I will tell him to go away.
30:27I thought your scrawling days were long gone.
30:30Something you wanted, Sam.
30:31Perhaps you should give it all up.
30:34Quit the grind and daub away to your heart's content.
30:38Perhaps I should.
30:41Why don't you?
30:44Ask my father or yours.
30:46Of course.
30:49You're here to save us.
30:52How noble.
30:57Good day to you, Sam's.
31:11What did I say?
31:13First time we boxed at Oxford.
31:15I never make it as a fighter because I like to put them in.
31:21Remember why we became friends?
31:22Because we both needed a punch bag.
31:24And I was missing size.
31:29So, brother.
31:31A number of us have been speaking and, uh, well, we're keen to hear Joe's vision for the company.
31:38Vision?
31:38Hmm.
31:39The head of the vote.
31:41What vote?
31:43There'll be no vote.
31:44The decision is mine.
31:45Yeah, but must be ratified.
31:46It's tradition.
31:48Eldest son to eldest son.
31:50Well, with respect.
31:52Well, you broke with tradition when you pushed Joe into the chair before your demise.
31:57Even so?
31:58I mean, surely.
31:59You want all the board to be fully behind the new appointment?
32:03Don't think I don't know what you're about.
32:06You have your eye on the prize for Soames.
32:09I think we both know he's the better man for the job.
32:23Isaac.
32:24Just curious.
32:25Did you pick up any sense from the other partners what they think of Joe's promotion?
32:32I know what I think.
32:34Tell me.
32:35He's passionate, struggles to compromise, but that's why this company needs him.
32:44In ten years, he's never let you down.
32:49I don't believe he ever will.
32:53Thank you, Isaac.
33:06Your father just told me beggars belief, the idea of a vote.
33:13Expected.
33:14Well, you know James is setting you up to fail.
33:17Quite.
33:20Disappoint him.
33:22You have the vision, the ability.
33:26You deserve it.
33:29We deserve it.
33:30So let's be very considered about our next move.
33:36I'll throw it away in a moment of madness.
33:55Zero.
33:56Four.
33:58Four.
34:00Four.
34:01Zero.
34:02Four.
34:03Four.
34:03Oh!
34:05I'm done, Sarah.
34:06That's so funny.
34:08There you go, clever dog.
34:13Someone's looking pleased with themselves.
34:15Happy Miss Carteret.
34:17Happy Soames, if it's any sense.
34:19Which I'm certain he does.
34:21But I mustn't be late.
34:23I told June I'd take her with me, but Francis has forbidden her to go.
34:27Go where?
34:28The dressmaker, Mrs Louisa.
34:30Who also does wedding gowns.
34:32Why did Francis forbid her?
34:34No idea, but she was absolutely insistent.
34:36June is not to go.
34:37Well, I'm heading into town myself.
34:39Can I drop you?
34:40Silk Street in Soho?
34:42There's a jeweler's nearby.
34:44Won't you join us?
34:46No.
34:46I will make my own arrangements.
34:57My dear, are you quite well?
35:00Yes.
35:03That is, a matter has come to my attention.
35:08I'm not quite sure how to manage it.
35:15That will be, uh, Mrs. Darty?
35:24Uh, is Mrs. Burnham home?
35:30Children, put those down.
35:32Come here.
35:38Hello.
35:39Hello.
35:41Are you...
35:42My children, yes.
35:51And their father?
35:53He died.
35:55A long time ago.
35:57Before we were born.
36:01How old are you?
36:02Ten.
36:03Hannah, take the children.
36:05But Mama, please do us.
36:06I say I need to speak.
36:07With this gentleman, I'll come to you soon.
36:23Who is their father?
36:27Is he dead?
36:30Is he?
36:31Is he?
36:38As good as.
36:44Dear God, Luisa, you couldn't think to tell me.
36:47What should I have said?
36:50No claim on you.
36:51We barely knew each other.
36:54I saw myself for what I was.
36:56A diversion.
37:00I loved you.
37:01You desired me as I desired you.
37:04And what we had was brief and careless.
37:08I could never have come to anything.
37:14You should have looked for me.
37:16After Venice.
37:16You knew my family.
37:17You knew my name.
37:18I did look for you.
37:20When I knew I was with child, I had every intention of seeking you out.
37:23So why didn't you?
37:26I read about your marriage in the newspaper.
37:31What else could I do but make my own arrangements?
37:35Earing enough to set aside for my confinement.
37:38I took in mending, embroidery, anything I could to provide for my child.
37:44Children, as it turned out.
37:46But if you told me.
37:48Then what?
37:49You had a wife, a stepchild, a family name.
37:55Is that supposed to be your guilty secret?
37:58Better to find my own means to provide for my children.
38:02Our children.
38:08Our children.
38:10They can never know.
38:15Please don't make this difficult.
38:19Our lives need not be thrown into disarray simply because we happen to meet again.
38:32As you wish.
38:36But first I'd like to see the children again.
38:40Don't do this.
38:43Please let me see them, Louisa.
38:47Please.
39:02Children, come here.
39:07And it is certain the children are his?
39:12Beyond doubt.
39:16And he doesn't know.
39:18Does anyone?
39:20Nor must they.
39:21James and Soames especially.
39:23Indeed.
39:25How trustworthy is this girl?
39:27Could she threaten to expose him?
39:28I don't believe she will.
39:30She's posing as a widow.
39:32Good.
39:32And a respectable dressmaker.
39:35So we are confident the matter will go no further?
39:39We are.
39:48Come.
39:50This is a friend of mine.
40:01Hello?
40:04I'm Joe.
40:06How funny.
40:07So am I.
40:10But everyone calls me Joss.
40:14May I call you Joss?
40:21I'm Holly.
40:23I know he looks older.
40:24But we're twins.
40:29It's a pleasure to meet you, Holly.
40:32Are you crying?
40:37Yes, I am crying.
40:40Are you sad?
40:44No.
40:46I'm happy.
40:50Happier than you can imagine.
40:55Sorry.
40:59I don't wish to scare you.
41:01That's the last thing I want.
41:02Please, you must leave.
41:04I have clients to you.
41:07The back door, this way.
41:16Please don't come here again.
41:37I'll see you at dinner, Pa.
41:44I'll see you at dinner, Pa.
41:50the back door.
41:51Bye.
41:55I'll see you again, buddy.
41:56Bye.
41:59Bye.
42:01Bye.
42:03Bye.
42:04Bye.
42:06Bye.
42:07Bye.
42:29I was told you were looking for me
42:34I came just now from Soho
42:37Yes
42:38From the dressmaker Louisa
42:42She and I knew each other years ago
42:45I'm aware
42:47I've seen her myself
42:51Then you know about the children
42:52Yes
43:00Nothing about their existence
43:04Is simple
43:07And clearly there are consequences
43:09Yes
43:12The possibility of discovery
43:16How it can be used against you
43:19Just as we're in touching distance of everything we've worked for
43:27We're a partnership
43:29A family
43:31Let's not complicate all
43:33Compromise
43:35We can put all of this behind us and go on as before
43:39I don't think you understand
43:41I can't go on as before
43:44Before I was unaware
43:46But you under no obligation
43:48I can't wish away two human beings, Francis
43:54You mean to acknowledge them
43:58I mean not to know their existence
44:11For now
44:12For now
44:15Promise me
44:16No one need know
44:20It would be catastrophic
44:23For you as chairman
44:25For us as a family
44:27For me as your wife
44:32I promise
44:39How could you?
44:48As long
44:51As long
44:52As close
45:02As long
45:03As long
45:03As long
46:12What did you hear?
46:13All of it.
46:23I knew her before your mother and I ever met.
46:26But it makes no difference to us.
46:28You're still my beloved daughter.
46:29Except now I have to share you.
46:31No.
46:31Mama has to share you.
46:45It's her, isn't it, Lisa?
46:48The one who gave you this.
47:12Forgive me, Miss Herron, but in the spirit of our recent conversation, I wanted to bring you a gift.
47:23Oh, they're beautiful.
47:27Oh, thank you.
47:30I hope they might speed you on your way to Paris and the fulfillment of your desires.
47:38Oh, Mr. Forsyte, you've been such a friend to me.
47:42I hope so.
47:45I do.
47:48And yet...
47:52With your permission, I would like to think of myself as more than a friend.
48:04Forgive me.
48:06I'm well-schooled in matters of business.
48:10Less so in matters of the heart.
48:15Which, to be frank, has never been touched by a single soul until...
48:25Believe me, I never intended to speak so soon, but your imminent departure, I...
48:32I can no longer leave unsaid what I've known from the moment I saw you.
48:41You are my heart's desire.
48:44I cannot imagine a life without you.
48:50Mr. Forsyte, this is...
48:54unexpected.
48:55But not, I hope, unwelcome.
48:58I...
49:00To be truthful, I'm...
49:02A little astonished.
49:04We scarcely know each other.
49:06But what we do know might lead us to be...
49:08Hopeful?
49:11Perhaps.
49:17Um...
49:19Then let me say one more thing.
49:22I'm convinced we could be happy.
49:26But if you find we cannot, though, God help me, I'll move heaven and earth to make us so,
49:33I will release you, and you will be free.
49:40That's...
49:41Very generous.
49:44But if you agree to our engagement,
49:47we will go to Paris together.
49:50And from there, plan our future.
49:53And it will be all that you've dreamed of.
49:56And more.
50:00No.
50:05Just imagine, Cyril,
50:09dear Soames engaged,
50:10and replacing Joa's chair.
50:14That day could be closer than you think.
50:36Come on, child.
50:39Spit it out.
50:41She was.
50:42She was.
50:43Oh, my God.
51:24Oh, my God.
52:10Oh, my God.
52:13Oh, my God.
