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.
05:26IÃm not sure.
05:44I've got another note from your eyes.
05:45Can I get you out?
05:51I'll give you the top of your eyes.
05:51I've got another note.
05:52You can leave me.
05:53I'll give you the top of my eyes.
05:53Here she comes with me.
05:54I'm not sure that you're even going to eat.
05:55Come in, here she comes with me.
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.
06:44And 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.
07:13June, wait.
07:15June, wait.
07:27You've her 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
09:47My love
09:48Yes
09:50Yes
09:51She is a
09:51You
09:52Don't
09:52Amo
09:53And
10:53What 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 230 Deptham, 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.
12:03Even 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.
12:23Cheer not, my dear.
12:26Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.
12:37Come on, Peaches.
12:37Yes, Peaches.
12:38Come on, Peaches.
12:39Hold him.
12:41Go, Peaches.
12:42Come on, lady, Peaches.
12:44Come on, lady, Peaches.
12:47Get her.
12:49Go on.
12:50Go on.
12:51Yes.
12:53Go.
12:54Go.
12:56Go.
12:56Go.
12:57Go, Peaches.
13:21No!
13:22No!
13:23No!
13:23No!
13:24No!
13:24No!
13:25So close!
13:26So close!
13:28You donkey!
13:32Damn it!
13:34I've been sold a pup!
13:35A turkey!
13:37A clunker!
13:38A 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,
13:54never ask if she's feeling tired
13:55or would like a chair.
13:56Oh, no, she already made that clear.
13:59I'm with child, Jo.
14:00I'm not an invalid or an imbecile.
14:07How are things with Francis?
14:08It's just saying my connections with Louisa have consequences.
14:12Neither of us reckon with.
14:14And the implications are frankly severe.
14:25So does Soames propose to join us?
14:29Or is he keeping his intended under lock and key?
14:32Oh, Miss Carpheret.
14:34Oh, Miss Carpheret.
14:35Pa 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 your families.
14:49Forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.
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.
15:10Not at all.
15:10I'm delighted to make the acquaintance of such a distinguished family.
15:15Hmm.
15:15And there'll be ample opportunity for deepening that acquaintance.
15:20As Miss Heron has done me the honor of agreeing to be my wife.
15:36Congratulations.
15:39Our wedding will shortly take place by special license after which we depart for Europe.
15:44On your honeymoon?
15:46How thrilling.
15:48Where 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.
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 save a fortnight from now is too soon.
16:41A fortnight?
16:42Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
16:58Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
17:11...
17:19Your mother is seriously displeased.
17:24Why wasn't she consulted?
17:27and the haste how long have you known this girl long enough she seems rather lovely oh emily
17:36she is you'll like her you must be fearfully in love in love
17:43the deuce 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
17:55when joe's dug himself a hole we've had 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 are you serious
18:19the insanity of it
18:22i think i rather envy him how daring to follow his heart
18:30did you did i for god's sake emily
18:38what 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
20:04you
20:10you
20:11you
20:12you
20:30You'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.
20:51By doing what feels right.
20:57For me.
21:07So, I was thinking crimson or burgundy.
21:12My husband says don't be extravagant, which is rich coming from him, when he outspends his allowance every month and
21:17then 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.
21:23They sort of haven't hinted at it countless times, but they just keep saying we have a reputation to uphold
21:27at Foresight & Co.
21:29Foresight?
21:31But your name's...
21:32Darty, yes, by 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, in which case I'd quite understand if you wish to go
21:52elsewhere.
21:55Elsewhere?
21:56I should think not.
21:58And her tone, almost as if she was wishing me gone.
22:01And why would that be?
22:03Thank your cousin, Jo.
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, without succumbing to family pressures.
22:34One lives in hope.
22:40Joe, fathered 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.
23:30Given a chance.
23:31If this is yet another bid to give him a role.
23:34Not a role.
23:35A seat on the board.
23:36Hmph!
23:38You are joking.
23:38The 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,
24:06esteemed 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,
24:32which now confers power, commands respect,
24:35demands attention.
24:38My 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
24:50as precious human souls,
24:54worthy of respect,
24:56of dignity,
24:58of proper recompense.
25:01So,
25:04change is possible.
25:07And I owe those who have not been as fortunate as I
25:11to challenge
25:13ignorance
25:15and injustice
25:17wherever I see it.
25:22I invite you
25:24to do the same.
25:43Mr. Renegade.
25:46Mr. Bacconet.
25:47What brings you here?
25:49The same as you.
25:50A wish for rational argument.
25:51A disgust for inequality.
25:54Would you care for some cake?
26:07So you're an architect.
26:08How splendid.
26:10I should introduce you to my family.
26:11They'll be terribly impressed.
26:13No, I doubt it.
26:13I'm a modernist.
26:16In my experience,
26:16the money classes are highly conservative
26:18in their tastes.
26:20Now you, I suspect,
26:22are a radical.
26:23I like to think I have an open mind.
26:26Why else would you be here,
26:27unchaperoned?
26:28I don't care a fig for such nonsense.
26:31I suspect your mother does.
26:33And what she doesn't know
26:35can't hurt her.
26:39Do you have a card?
26:40In case any of my family
26:42should at some point
26:43require your services.
26:44You and I both know
26:45how unlikely that is.
26:57Culver Street?
26:58Hardly an illustrious address
26:59and it's a garret.
27:00Oh, I adore garrets.
27:21Proposal to admit
27:22Montague 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
28:17Montague Darty
28:18to the board.
28:22Proposer.
28:26Seconded.
28:31All those in favor.
28:36And those against.
28:45Montague Darty is elected
28:47elected to the board.
28:50I suppose you should
28:53let him in.
29:00To those who voted in my favor.
29:03Good choice.
29:06To any who voted against.
29:08All right.
29:13Item five.
29:16Reputational risk and remedial action.
29:21Yes.
29:22I'm afraid
29:23there have been alarming
29:25rumors
29:26implicating one of our own
29:27which
29:28should they reach the ears
29:29of our more eminent clients
29:30could lead them
29:31to take their business
29:32elsewhere.
29:33What rumors are these?
29:35Concerning a
29:36senior partner
29:39debauching
29:39a serving man.
29:41That is not what happened.
29:42That is not who she was
29:43and those are not the circumstances.
29:45And for those of you as yet
29:46in the dark
29:48my nephew.
29:54I had a relationship
29:55prior to my marriage
29:56with a young woman
29:56I met in Venice.
29:57Some days ago I learned
29:59that when we parted
30:00she was with child.
30:02Twins to be precise.
30:04Now ten years of age
30:05living with her mother
30:06in London.
30:08And distasteful
30:09as some of you
30:10doubtless may find it.
30:12Distasteful?
30:13Try scandalous.
30:15Inexcusable.
30:15What we can't ignore
30:16is that many of our clients
30:18will find such a liaison
30:20distasteful.
30:21But of course they will.
30:25Because such things
30:26have never happened
30:27in respectable families.
30:30Good Lord.
30:31What a nurse.
30:32And it'll be the first
30:33misstep
30:33that this family
30:35has never made.
30:36Mom, for goodness sake.
30:37Gentlemen, please.
30:42May I ask
30:43what brings you here today?
30:45Curiosity?
30:46This is most irregular.
30:49We do not admit
30:50ladies
30:50into the inner sanctum.
30:52Oh, the inner sanctum.
30:55It solely exists
30:57because I
30:57paid for it.
31:00Can I not see
31:01what my marriage settlement
31:02bought?
31:04Mater,
31:05the matter in hand
31:07concerns the irrevocable
31:09damage to company reputation
31:10should Joe remain
31:11within its ranks.
31:12we are inviting him
31:14to step away
31:15for the good
31:17of the family name.
31:18Oh, the good
31:18of the family name.
31:20Ah.
31:22Our sainted
31:23family
31:25devoid of scandal
31:27closets
31:30skeletal remains.
31:35Yes, but the effect
31:37the damage
31:38to our reputation
31:39There will be
31:39no damage.
31:40The matter can be
31:41hushed up
31:41and the girl
31:41paid off.
31:42Please allow me
31:43to deal with this.
31:48If we could be
31:50certain of the girl's
31:51discretion
31:52we could
31:53agree
31:54to turn a blind eye.
31:55though I trust
31:57he's not expecting
31:58any settlement
31:59to come out
32:00of company funds.
32:02I'm best assured
32:03I have no intention
32:04of asking anyone here
32:05to take responsibility
32:06for my obligations.
32:09The fact remains
32:10I had two children
32:12of whom I'm not ashamed
32:16nor of myself.
32:24Well?
32:26You heard him?
32:27No remorse.
32:28Disappointing.
32:30Has to go.
32:32With regret.
32:35I propose
32:36that Jolion Forsythe
32:38be expelled
32:40from the company.
32:48All those in favour.
33:00It's fine.
33:03Thank you, ma'am.
33:05Why are you here?
33:06I'm not content
33:07with how we left things.
33:08More is due to you
33:09and the children.
33:10Nothing is due.
33:11We are content.
33:13Do you think you have
33:14the right to deprive them
33:15by 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
33:22to have a better life?
33:24Have you given
33:25at the slightest thought
33:26to how my life
33:27has been since we parted?
33:30No, I can only imagine.
33:32Can you?
33:34A girl, two infants,
33:36no one to turn to.
33:38Gradually, to take
33:39a fierce pride
33:39in knowing that
33:40she could provide.
33:42To have raised
33:43two beautiful souls
33:44single-handed.
33:48Why would I,
33:49why would they
33:50need any more
33:51than 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.
34:04Push up, push up.
34:06Push up, push up.

34:12Push up, push up.
34:15Push up, push up.
34:18Push up, push up.

44:55mama
44:56and
45:02you
48:03A conjunction of souls.
48:06That is what matters.
48:08Good.
48:10We agree.
49:14You see?
49:17It 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 of love.
49:50I wasn't fond, Frances.
49:51I wasn't fond, Frances.
49:52My children were conceived of love.
50:06So let's be clear.
50:10And let us be clear.
50:42For what?
50:45Showing me a life and a man
50:48that I never knew existed.
50:54Till I met you.
51:22Till I met you.
51:52Till I met you.
52:22Till I met you.
