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.
09:00June.
09:02June.
09:07June.
09:08Philip of Culver Street?
09:10June Renegade of Hyde Park.
09:34I thought you might not come.
09:35It was very impertinent of you to ask me.
09:37But 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.
10:09When old age shall this generation waste,
10:11Thou shalt remain,
10:12In midst of other woe than ours,
10:14A friend to man,
10:16To 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,
10:44We lived in three rooms above a baker's shop.
10:49And 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.
11:06Well, 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.
11:25Oh, my God.
11:27You realise we'll have a housekeeper?
11:30Servant?
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 sixteen,
11:54I was on the floor of the stock exchange.
11:57Learning the ropes.
11:59Oh, don't mistake me.
12:00None of it was wasted.
12:01But
12:03now
12:06is my duty to the company
12:12or to myself.
12:25You haven't led me astray.
12:28You've set me free.
12:48Someone's all of a glow.
12:51Must be the ride.
12:53The wind was bracing.
12:55Suits you.
12:57You should go more often.
12:59Well,
13:00I think I will.
13:19So, the hunt is on.
13:21Yes.
13:22Will it be a chase
13:23or a trap?
13:25Frances will have it all planned.
13:28She learned from the master.
13:29Yes.
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 Anthony 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?
13:53Oh, 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 Lepidoptera species.
14:40From the Greek, Lepis, meaning scale,
14:42and 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.
15:08Yeah.
15:15Good morning.
15:43Soames, finally.
15:47I trust he's announcing his imminent return.
16:21Not coming home.
16:23On my heart, I shall faint.
16:24Can it be true?
16:25It must be her doing.
16:27Well, 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.
16:35Although, with Soames gone, might a fellow step up?
16:38What fellow?
16:40Someone with expertise on risk, investment.
16:44Gambling, you mean?
16:45And for the mantle of favoured child.
16:47Think about it, Freddie.
16:48With Soames away, you and I are the preeminent pair of our generation.
16:54Nobody is to hear of this.
16:56Understood.
16:57Of course.
16:58On my honour.
17:00My heart will break.
17:03How should we live without him?
17:21Prepare yourselves.
17:28Is he serious?
17:29No, he's clever.
17:31If Joe gets the chair, do you see Soames taking orders?
17:34This way, he gets to be master of his own domain.
17:37Good 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, so good of you to come.
17:55Did I hear there may soon be exciting news about your daughter and young Horatio?
18:01I couldn't possibly comment.
18:04I couldn't possibly comment.
18:05Lady Carter at her cell dropped a hint.
18:10She's asked me to donate to her charity for the reclamation of fallen women.
18:17And I wondered whether you might be persuaded to join us.
18:22Of course.
18:23One must support any scheme that takes these wretched creatures off the streets.
18:29Perhaps we can find ways to 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 our worst time.
18:45Were these Forsyte buzzing around?
18:47She wasn't to know.
18:48I've never told her who the children's father was.
18:51If you do it,
18:54it could ruin you.
19:19An invitation to Frampton Park.
19:23Oh, what's that?
19:25The Carteret family seat.
19:28Oh.
19:29Am I invited?
19:31Oh.
19:32I think we both know you're the main attraction, my love.
19:36Oh.
19:36Oh.
19:37Oh.
19:38Oh.
19:38Oh.
19:39Oh.
19:39Oh.
19:42Oh.
19:51Oh.
19:55Oh.
19:58Oh.
19:59Oh, my dear friend!
20:00Oh, my dear friend!
20:03And here is my chef, Marie.
20:05My friends, for the Code of the Valley,
20:07Yvette Colette Patrice-Victor.
20:10Hello, Marie.
20:11Hello, welcome.
20:13Hello.
20:14Hello.
20:16Hello, welcome.
20:18Let's go.
20:19Come on, everybody.
20:20Come on.
20:24Oh, my dear friends.
20:28Oh, c'est magnifique!
20:30Alors, Champagne?
20:31Vous êtes prêts, les gars?
20:32On célèbre, n'est-ce pas?
20:34Mais non! Il faut absolument essayer
20:37notre spécialité de maison,
20:39l'absinthe.
20:43Allez, la tournée!
20:47Allez, tous ensemble!
20:48Oh, regarde, c'est bien, c'est bien!
20:50Oh!
20:52Oh!
20:58Oh!
20:58Oh!
21:00Oh!
21:03Oh!
21:04Oh!
21:05Oh!
21:10Oh!
21:11Oh!
21:13Oh!
21:13Oh!
21:14Oh!
21:17Oh!
21:23How could I be so stupid?
21:25kid. I thought if I appeared compliant, then Mama would be more sympathetic, would take
21:33my wishes into account, but now that's...
21:36Frampton Park.
21:37Yes. That can only mean one thing. He intends to propose.
21:57I suppose we'll never meet again. I wish it could be otherwise.
22:05Perhaps you should marry me. I think I'd prefer it.
22:15No, I really would prefer it.
22:19June, let's be serious. How on earth would we live?
22:23I'd have my settlement.
22:24There'll be no settlement. If your father refuses his consent, and believe me, he will.
22:28Then we'll run away.
22:29And live on what? I have debts. No reputation. I'm yet to secure a meaningful commission.
22:35Sometimes I live on cocoa for a week.
22:37But none of this matters if we love each other.
22:44I shouldn't have said that.
22:47But you did.
23:00And so...
23:03And so...
23:50One can have too much of a good thing.
24:11Do you intend to make a habit of advising clients against surefire investment?
24:19What's this?
24:20What's this?
24:20Salon Gold.
24:22As 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.
24:31Are you sure he's made of sterner stuff?
24:33Did I hear my name?
24:34Sir Jimmy Buckland's gold mine.
24:36The chair's 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?
25:10It appears Horatio Carteret is partial to June.
25:16Hmm.
25:18Well.
25:18Hmm.
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.
25:43What?
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?
26:12Well, yes.
26:14I believe there is.
26:15On account of the fact that I'm already engaged.
26:22His 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-
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, I proposed.
27:00Well, of course you did.
27:02Am I to understand there's actually some truth to this ridiculous-
27:08June.
27:10What are you doing?
27:12Following my heart.
27:16Oh, dear.
27:18But how did-
27:20Where could you tell her? It's out of the question.
27:23June.
27:23June.
27:24A word, please.
27:35Did you know anything about this?
27:36Why would I?
27:38We know she likes to confide in you.
27:42Perhaps you 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?
28:06Yes.
28:14So I should meet him.
28:37I so mean.
28:45Um.
28:52He's been doing something for me.
28:54So he's not going to be doing something?
28:55He's not going to be doing anything.
28:55Oh, you're welcome.
28:56Oh, who's going to be doing something?
30:00What 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?
30:16Or 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?
31:07Obviously not.
31:09I told him if he didn't take the next train home from Paris, I'd come and drag him home
31:12by his earload.
31:14Oh, well, that'll do it.
31:34Mr. 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'd be 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
32:26us, you 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, bowed 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, moral superiority, or material assistance?
33:57Let me introduce to you a lady whose history you may find instructive.
34:10As some of you know me, you honour me with your custom.
34:15I'm kind enough to invite me into your homes.
34:18Ten years ago, I was penniless, homeless.
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, but 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 died before 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.
36:56fortune hunter
37:00how would you support her
37:03I well
37:05that is at present
37:07I can't
37:09but I have prospects I'm currently seeking a major commission
37:12there's money to 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
37:37we'll be seeing a lot of each other
38:02I'm here in my diamonds
38:03I'm here now
38:10you agreed to an engagement
38:13why
38:16he's impulsive
38:18argumentative
38:19and currently without means
38:20it could be years before he makes his first commission
38:22exactly
38:23and by then the romance would have lost his sheen
38:27or 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
38:42always regretted not doing
38:45not in the slightest
38:49I'm wholly at peace with my decision
39:01I knew it
39:02you
39:03you were never going to consent
39:05because
39:05you've no idea how it feels to truly follow your heart
39:08so go on
39:09tell me
39:20we give you permission to get engaged
39:24she
39:31and now we assure the outside world that we couldn't be happier
39:46is there a pact
39:48to lower the tone of this family
39:51first soames
39:52now June
39:54there's no one regard for pedigree
39:56you'll note the lack of announcement
39:59June's engagement
40:01no surprise
40:02I wouldn't advertise such a misnomer
40:06no wonder the engagement party is closed family only
40:09poor 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 zone
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
40:32like you
40:33with other people's money
40:35I take calculated risks
40:38like chance in your happiness for someone you barely know
40:44come with me
40:45I have a surprise
40:51Isaac mentioned June's engagement
40:53oh we couldn't be more delighted
40:55of course June could have had her pick
40:58but we believe that young people should follow their hearts
41:01I wholly agree
