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, my God.
05:26Mm-hmm.
05:31Oh, my God.
06:16So, if you loved her, why did you marry Mama?
06:25Because your mother was, 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?
06:57I can't answer that.
07:02You just did.
07:05June, wait.
07:06June, wait.
07:09June, wait.
07:24June, wait.
07:27June.
07:33I don't underestimate the pain this has caused, but I am here, and 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.
08:40Would you give me the honor of wearing this ring?
08:54You dislike it?
08:54No, no, how could I?
08:56It's just...
08:58I mean, is this happening to me?
09:02There 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 are all nature.
09:23And to me, that is perfection.
09:38And to me, that is perfection.
09:40I'm introducing you to my family.
09:46My love.
09:49Yes.
09:51Yes.
10:29Mama was always fond of that one.
10:31She was a fine woman.
10:34Not a fast love, but...
10:37a lasting one.
10:44So, it's a full turn-out tomorrow?
10:47What's this?
10:48Epson races. Monty's horse is running.
10:50What 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 Debson, 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 in 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...
12:17Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
12:23Chin up, my dear.
12:26Tomorrow's race should cheer your spirits.
12:37Yes, peaches.
12:38Come on, peaches.
12:39Hold him.
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 dog.
12:50Yes!
12:50Come on.
12:51Yes!
12:53Go.
12:54No, no, no.
12:55Go.
12:56Go.
12:56Go.
12:57Go.
12:58Peachy.
13:21No, no.
13:23I'm so close.
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.
14:47I haven't purchased any of our plans with the family, so forgive me if I'm deliberately vague.
14:51Of course.
14:58Miss Heron, Mrs. Heron.
15:00My family.
15:03How do you do?
15:07Forgive me, I feel we're a formidable prospect.
15:09Not 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.
15:36Congratulations.
15:40Our wedding will shortly take place by special licence, after which we depart for Europe.
15:45On your honeymoon?
15:46How thrilling.
15:47Where 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.
16:14The 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 a fortnight from now is too soon.
16:41A fortnight?
16:43Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
16:57Well, surely the sooner we arrive in Paris.
17:19You're...
17:20Your mother is seriously displeased.
17:25Why wasn't she consulted?
17:27And the haste.
17:29How long have you known this girl?
17:31Long enough.
17:33she seems rather lovely oh emily she 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 got 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 oh are you serious
18:18the 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 we 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
19:58no
20:08so
20:10no
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.
21:20It'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.
21:25They just keep saying we have a reputation to uphold at Foresight & Co.
21:29Foresight?
21:31But your name's...
21:32Darty, yes.
21:33By marriage.
21:34Foresight by birth.
21:36Foresight, you 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.
21:50In which case I'd quite understand if you wish to go elsewhere.
21:55Elsewhere?
21:55Elsewhere?
21:56I should think not.
21:58And her tone!
21:59Almost as if she was wishing me gone.
22:01And why would that be?
22:03Thank your cousin, Joe.
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.
22:28Without succumbing to family pressures.
22:33One lives in hope.
22:39Joe!
22:41Fathered 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 jeopardize 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...
23:12Yes, Monty?
23:14What is it?
23:19Am I looking in my club?
23:25Does he perform any useful function?
23:29He could, given a chance.
23:31If this is yet another bid to give him a role.
23:34Not a role.
23:35A seat on the board.
23:37You are joking.
23:39The 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, which now confers power,
24:34commands respect, demands attention.
24:37My late husband owned woolen mills in the north,
24:42once viewed his workers as commodities,
24:45expendable.
24:48But he was brought to see them as precious human souls,
24:54worthy of respect,
24:56of dignity,
24:58of proper recompense.
25:02So,
25:03change is possible.
25:07And I owe those who have not been as fortunate as I
25:11to challenge ignorance and injustice
25:18wherever I see it.
25:22I invite you
25:25to 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.
25:52A disgust for inequality.
25:54Would you, would you care for some cake?
26:07So you're an architect.
26:08How splendid.
26:10I should introduce you to my family.
26:12They'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 in 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.
26:34And what she doesn't know can'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 how unlikely that is.
26:57Culver Street?
26:58Hardly an illustrious address.
26:59And it's a garret.
27:00Oh, I adore garrets.
27:06I don't know how much money is.
27:21Proposal to admit Montague 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 Montague Darty
28:18to the board.
28:21Proposer.
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 there have been alarming rumors
29:26implicating one of our own,
29:27which,
29:28should they reach the ears of our more eminent clients,
29:30could lead them to take their business elsewhere.
29:33What rumors are these?
29:35Concerning a senior partner
29:39debauching a serving man.
29:41That is not what happened.
29:42That is not who she was,
29:43and those are not the circumstances.
29:44And for those of you as yet in the dark,
29:48my nephew.
29:54I had a relationship prior to my marriage
29:56with a young woman I met in Venice.
29:57Some days ago I learned that
29:59when we parted,
30:00she was with child.
30:02Twins, to be precise.
30:04Now ten years of age,
30:05living with her mother in London.
30:08And distasteful,
30:09as some of you doubtless may find it.
30:12Distasteful?
30:13Try scandalous.
30:14Inexcusable.
30:15What we can't ignore
30:16is that many of our clients
30:18will find such a liaison distasteful.
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 misstep
30:33that this family has ever made.
30:36Well, more for goodness sake.
30:37Gentlemen, please.
30:42May I ask what brings you here today?
30:45Curiosity?
30:46This is most irregular.
30:49We do not admit, ladies,
30:51into the inner sanctum.
30:52Oh, the inner sanctum.
30:55It solely exists because I paid for it.
31:00Can I not see what my marriage settlement bought?
31:04Mater,
31:05the matter in hand...
31:07Concerns the irrevocable damage
31:09to company reputation
31:11should Joe remain within its ranks.
31:12We are inviting him
31:14to step away
31:15for the good of the family name.
31:18Oh, the good of the family name.
31:20Ah.
31:22Our sainted family.
31:25Devoid of scandal.
31:28Closets.
31:30Skeletal remains.
31:35Yes, but the effect.
31:37The damage to our reputation.
31:39There will be no damage.
31:40The matter can be hushed up
31:41and the girl paid off.
31:42Please, allow me to deal with this.
31:48If we could be certain
31:50of the girl's discretion,
31:52we could agree to turn a blind eye.
31:56Though I trust he's not expecting
31:58any settlement to come out of company funds.
32:01I'm most assured.
32:03I have no intention of asking anyone here
32:05to take responsibility for my obligations.
32:09The fact remains I had two children,
32:12of whom I'm not ashamed.
32:16Nor of myself.
32:24Well?
32:26You heard him.
32:27No remorse.
32:29Disappointing.
32:30Has to go.
32:32With regret.
32:35I propose that Jolion Forsythe
32:39be expelled
32:40from the company.
32:48All those in favor.
33:00It's fine, um.
33:03Thank you, Mum.
33:05Why are you here?
33:06I'm not content with how we left things.
33:08More is due to you and the children.
33:10Nothing is due.
33:11We are content.
33:13Didn't you have the right
33:14to deprive them by refusing my support?
33:16Deprive them?
33:17Did they look deprived?
33:20No, that's not what I meant.
33:21Can I not want them to have a better life?
33:24Have you given
33:25the slightest thought
33:26to how my life has been since we parted?
33:31No, I can only imagine.
33:32Can you?
33:33A girl, two infants,
33:35no one to turn to.
33:38Gradually, to take a fierce pride
33:39in knowing that she could provide.
33:42To have raised two beautiful souls
33:44single-handed.
33:48Why would I,
33:49why would they
33:50need any more than what we have?
33:55Mum, will you come?
33:57There's jugglers.
33:58Will you come?
33:59Hey,
34:01Hang on.
34:05Hey,
34:12yeah,
34:14yeah!
34:15Yeah!
34:18Yeah!
34:19Yeah!
34:19Yeah!
34:19Yeah!
34:20Yeah!
34:21Yeah!
34:45They'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 that I still would have come.
35:03Wasn't it to be?
35:04No, it wasn't.
35:08Goodbye, Joe.
35:22Goodbye, Joe.
35:54Is there any cakes?
36:01Can I be of assistance?
36:05I won't, Kat.
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,
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.
37:14I'm glad you were.
37:16I'm glad you were.
37:17I'm glad you were.
37:20I can't.
37:21I must go.
37:21No.
37:38I can't believe we were.
37:42I can.
37:44Cool.
37:48There she is.
37:48There she is.
37:56Come.
38:04I'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 Carter 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?
39:01You'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 Foresight family.
40:01Are you aware of its peculiarities?
40:04Everyone 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.
40:27My wants are modest.
40:28And what are those wants?
40:31To love.
40:33And be loved.
40:34To trust.
40:36And be trusted.
40:37To...
40:38Dance.
40:39And it will be a dance.
40:43Whether the Pavan or a Tarantella.
40:46Or a Padida.
40:50And you?
40:53Are you in love?
40:55Oh.
40:59I have tremors.
41:01My pulse races.
41:03And 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.
41:48To our wedding day.
41:49To our wedding day.
42:14Do 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
42:29patience
42:32belief
42:34these 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
43:07i 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
43:26the thought of losing him
43:28to 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 my mom
43:46monty assures me it costs the earth
43:48nothing's too good for my freddie
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 hope i'm as blessed as they were
44:13can you ever doubt it
44:15in the resources at mr foresight's disposal
44:18his willingness to uproot his entire existence for your sake
44:22i meant theirs
44:24was a love match
44:29and yours is
44:33i don't yet know what to call it
44:38he told me
44:39it would be all
44:40that i dreamt of
44:42and more
44:43then i suggest you count your blessings
44:45and get dressed
44:54no ma
44:56so
45:58If she has any sense.
46:00Mama, where is she?
46:02I don't know.
46:27I don't know.
46:28I don't know.
46:31I don't know.
48:02It's a 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 would 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.
50:14So kill it.
50:17I'll face the consequences.
50:43For what?
50:45You're showing me a life and a man that I never knew existed until I met you.
50:56No.
50:58I'm sorry.
51:07I'm sorry.
51:10I'm sorry.
51:17No.
