TVTranscript
00:03Welcome to Sydney, Mrs. Russell.
00:05Yes, welcome.
00:06I'm delighted to be here.
00:08Mother, how was the crossing?
00:10Uneventful, I'm glad to say.
00:12You seem to have managed our train service, which is something of a miracle.
00:15You'll want a rest after your journey, Mrs. Russell.
00:18I've put you in the King's bedroom, and Mrs. Owen will show you there.
00:22Perhaps you can sleep for an hour or two.
00:24We meet at eight in the yellow drawing room and dine at half past.
00:28My maid.
00:29She'll be on her way to your room.
00:32Which King? You said the King's room, Hector?
00:34William IV.
00:36He came to launch the Sidmouth Harbour Railway in a plan to expand Sidmouth into a port.
00:40But it failed, and the King died a year later.
00:44Rather sad.
00:45Mrs. Owen?
00:52Careful of the crust.
00:53There's another one today.
00:55It says Mr. Larry has chosen his bride, but his mother doesn't approve.
01:00Orange blossom, maybe, but not many smiles at Russell House.
01:03You're going to keep that to show her?
01:04I think I must, but I'd rather solve it before she gets back.
01:07Is it true that Mr. Russell has moved out?
01:09Mr. Russell has gone to the union club, of course, I don't know for how long.
01:12With the mistress in England, and Mr. Larry in Arizona, who am I cooking for now?
01:15You're cooking for us, Mr. Board, and your fellow workers. Enjoy it.
01:22Have you looked at the clothes for tomorrow, Your Grace?
01:24I'm sure they're fine.
01:26Lady Sarah has approved them.
01:28Lady Sarah has approved your choice of the Duchess's clothes?
01:31For tomorrow, yes, ma'am.
01:32Thank you, boss.
01:33You may go.
01:46Do your maid and Lady Sarah always choose your clothes?
01:50Usually.
01:51Why does he put up with her?
01:53Hector's parents died young, but they weren't much interested in him anyway.
01:56All his life he's followed his sister's orders, and he sees no reason to change now.
02:00Aren't you a reason?
02:01Mother, you wanted your daughter to be a duchess.
02:04You can't talk now as if your chief goal was for me to be happily married.
02:07Of course I want you to be happy.
02:08Or at the very least to be properly treated.
02:11Can't Hector see that?
02:12Why would he?
02:13The house runs smoothly.
02:14She knows how he likes things done.
02:16Why make trouble?
02:17Some of the house feels a little bleak to me.
02:20Hector says they've sold everything good except the portraits.
02:22And now they can afford to buy them back, thanks to you.
02:24Make sure he remembers your role in his family's redemption and acts accordingly.
02:29If you want to cook an omelette, you have to learn to break a few eggs.
02:32Says the woman who hasn't cooked an omelette in 20 years.
02:34I may not have made an omelette, but I have made a future.
02:37And I'm here to help you do the same.
02:58I had a summons from J.P. Morgan.
03:03I didn't think I had a choice.
03:05You didn't.
03:05I should prefer to call it an invitation.
03:08My secretary, Mr. Brinkley.
03:10The Merricks.
03:13Mr. Russell.
03:14I don't believe you've met my brother, Edgar.
03:16Mr. Merrick, I'm glad to be here.
03:18But I suspect I may be less glad when I leave.
03:21Mr. Sage.
03:23Mr. Morgan.
03:24Let me show you all your rooms.
03:26Burn.
03:27Now you have us on your territory.
03:29I look forward to hearing your orders.
03:31This is neutral territory.
03:33And you'll hear no orders.
03:35Only thoughts on the future of our industry.
03:37Like Bismarck's thoughts on the future of Germany.
03:40Or Napoleon's on the future of Europe.
03:41You're too suspicious, gentlemen.
03:44At least, let me give you some dinner.
03:46We can delay our arguments for tomorrow.
03:49I should warn you.
03:51There will be no horses kept here.
03:53And civilization is a day's walk away.
03:55And you ask why we're suspicious?
04:00Mr. Russell.
04:01I believe you know my new partner.
04:20Is your room comfortable?
04:22Yes, madame.
04:23And how do you find the staff?
04:25They are pleasant.
04:28Though...
04:28What?
04:30One of the maids said
04:31Lady Sarah is trying to wail the new Duchess down
04:34and train her like a puppy.
04:37She used those words?
04:39I'm afraid so, madame.
04:42Thank you, André.
04:44Keep your ear to the ground,
04:45but say nothing to her grace.
04:47Of course, madame.
04:50It is a relief to know
04:51I'm not fighting my battles alone.
04:59Are you all right?
05:00Um, why do you say that?
05:02I don't know.
05:03You seem very anxious lately.
05:05You never told me what Larry said
05:06when he was leaving for Arizona.
05:08Didn't I?
05:11And I'll mention it.
05:12But he, uh...
05:15He thinks he's found Maude Beaton.
05:18Oh, my goodness, when?
05:19The same night you became engaged.
05:22Is it somewhere you can go after her?
05:24As long as she's still there.
05:25And actually, I'm going right now.
05:28You'll have to tell Mama
05:28I had some business dinner
05:30I couldn't get out of.
05:31I'll try to make it convincing.
05:39I'll try to make it convincing.
06:01Mrs. Van Rynes says she wants to go to bed
06:03straight after dinner.
06:05Miss Armstrong, you need to be ready.
06:06Well, of course I'm ready.
06:09What's that you're doing?
06:11Nothing.
06:13It doesn't look like nothing.
06:14I'm just interested in the various ways
06:16of mixing or whipping food.
06:18Here we go again.
06:19You see, you won't stay a footman forever
06:21whether you want to or not.
06:23I don't understand why you're allowed
06:24to stay on now.
06:26What do you mean?
06:27She means nothing.
06:31I'm going to bed.
06:33That was a delicious dinner.
06:39I'll look in.
06:44I was rather sad to see
06:46that you had dismissed Gladys' maid.
06:48Wasn't that always the plan?
06:49Well, yes, I know.
06:50It's just seeing her so far from home.
06:52But her home is here now.
06:55Her new maid understands these houses
06:57and the people who live in them.
06:59Don't you want Gladys to have help
07:00adjusting to her new life?
07:02Of course I do.
07:02And what did you mean?
07:04That I don't know how to run things?
07:05What I mean is that it's way past our bedtime.
07:24Hello, Mr. Kane.
07:38Hello, Miss Beaton.
07:41My name is Dolly Trent.
07:42Come on.
07:43That won't do it for me.
07:45I don't know what you want, mister,
07:46but I'm working.
07:47All right, Miss Beaton.
07:49Do you want me to summon the police
07:51because I can?
07:51Don't try anything.
07:53You misjudge me.
07:53I am not angry.
07:55I don't want things to be difficult.
07:58Can I help you, sir?
08:00I want to speak to a Miss Trent
08:03to spend some time with her.
08:06Does that bother you?
08:07No.
08:09No, I'll talk to him
08:11if he'll buy me a drink.
08:13Very good.
08:14Take him to room 12.
08:19Where is room 12?
08:20Where is room 12?
08:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:49I don't want that.
08:51I want to know what happened to the money.
08:53I haven't got it.
08:56Obviously.
09:04You know, I lost it all.
09:06Everything I had.
09:07And everything my mother had, too.
09:10And now I have to live with her
09:12while she blames me
09:13for her misery and her ruin.
09:16I should wake you in pieces.
09:18At least you don't have to sleep
09:19with overweight strangers
09:20who stink of bad breath and sweat.
09:23I want to know what happened to the money!
09:26Crowther.
09:27You remember Crowther?
09:28He was the man behind the whole thing.
09:30I was working for him.
09:31He took me on to...
09:32To what?
09:33To target gullible fools like me?
09:35You weren't alone.
09:36He looked for greedy men
09:37with access to money
09:38but without the nerve to steal it.
09:40You were a classic case.
09:43But how did you end up here?
09:46Crowther used me
09:47and left me with nothing.
09:50Which explains why I am
09:51where you see me now.
09:53But look at you.
09:55You're so elegant.
10:00You're so elegant.
10:01I want to be more.
10:06Don't pity me.
10:08I'm tough.
10:10My father lost me
10:11in a card game when I was 12.
10:19I won't depress you
10:20with an account of the years
10:21that followed.
10:23This is the best you could do.
10:25I owe the people
10:26who run this establishment.
10:28I'm working it off
10:29but I have food
10:31and a place to sleep.
10:34I suppose you hate me.
10:36Of course I hate you.
10:39You ruined my mother and me.
10:42So often I wished
10:43the story were true
10:44and we could have married
10:45and lived off
10:47my mythical fortune.
10:50Have you anywhere to go
10:51if you get away from here?
10:54Only a sister and Zandusky
10:55who might not even recognize me.
10:57Then we can only hope
10:58that Crowther dies in pain.
11:02I don't agree.
11:04This week I fired my office boy
11:06who was on $3 a week
11:07so I found a lie
11:08to do the work for two.
11:10You're a money-grubbing fool,
11:11Risley.
11:12I'm glad the railroad owners
11:13will approach the future
11:14in their usual spirit
11:15of equanimity.
11:16It will get worse
11:17before it gets better
11:18with talk of another
11:19run on the banks.
11:20You saved the Metropolitan
11:21but you can't save them all.
11:23I hear Sage was involved
11:25with the collapse
11:25of Grant and Ward
11:26on top of the Marine National.
11:30And now Clay's gone over
11:31to the enemy.
11:32Like most men in this room,
11:34he's always been on one side,
11:36his own.
11:39So,
11:41are you ready to explain
11:42why you brought us here?
11:43Mr. Russell asks
11:44why I brought you here.
11:45The answer is simple.
11:47Mr. Russell.
11:49Or rather,
11:50Mr. Russell
11:51and the Illinois Central line.
11:55Key to his plan
11:57for a new route
11:58between the East and West,
11:59which might spell
12:00a brighter future
12:01for America
12:02if your infighting
12:03and price-fixing
12:04weren't killing your business.
12:06As you all know,
12:08nobody holds
12:09a controlling share
12:11of the Illinois Central
12:12so nothing can move forward.
12:14And while that lasts,
12:15the whole railroad industry
12:17will be in chaos.
12:19So,
12:19I am afraid,
12:20gentlemen,
12:21no one leaves
12:23this house
12:24until one of you
12:26owns at least
12:2851%.
12:34What have you got there?
12:35The second delivery, Mom.
12:37Well?
12:38There are none for you, Mom.
12:39Is there anything for me?
12:41This one.
12:42Well, for whom are all the rest?
12:43Mr. Oscar
12:44and Miss Marion?
12:45Perhaps Mr. Russell has written.
12:46I doubt that.
12:47I didn't look
12:48before bringing them up.
12:49I should have.
12:50I apologize.
12:51I don't understand.
12:53They're for John, Mom.
12:54What?
12:54The footman John?
12:55Exactly.
12:56Have you found out
12:57just how rich
12:58this clock has made
12:59our footman?
12:59No, not yet, Mom.
13:01Agnes, really?
13:02Well, I would like to know.
13:04Will it be more than
13:05$2,000?
13:07Bannister has already said
13:09he doesn't know.
13:10You may go.
13:15Ada, we really should find out.
13:17We can't ask.
13:19It's impolite.
13:20Is it polite to stay on?
13:22Our Croesus-like footman?
13:24Has your betrothed
13:25told you how much?
13:27No, that's not my business.
13:31John, I've been meaning
13:32to congratulate you
13:34on all your success.
13:35Oh, thanks, Miss Marion.
13:36I hope you enjoyed
13:37your celebration
13:38with Mr. Russell
13:38the other night.
13:40What do you mean?
13:41He told me you were
13:42joining him with friends
13:43at Delmonico's.
13:44Delmonico's?
13:44Yes.
13:45Isn't that where you went?
13:47Oh.
13:50I don't know.
13:52How could you not know
13:53where you were?
13:54Oh, I do.
13:56But I need to get back to work.
13:59Have I said something wrong?
14:00No, no.
14:03Does this have to do
14:04with Maude Beaton?
14:05I need to get these downstairs.
14:07Mrs. Bowers-Wayton.
14:18What will be the fate
14:19of Mr. Gladstone's reform bill
14:21now the Lords have thrown it out?
14:23He'll bring it back
14:24and he'll get it through
14:25by the end of the year.
14:26But do we want a bunch
14:27of vagabonds and farm laborers
14:28to decide how we are governed?
14:30What do you say, Duchess?
14:32You're the Democrat among us.
14:34I believe everyone
14:35should have a say
14:36in who forms the government.
14:37Including women, I hope.
14:39Oh, heavens.
14:40Do we have a suffragist among us?
14:42Are you against women voting?
14:43Of course.
14:44Why?
14:45I'm curious.
14:46Do you find women
14:47stupider than men?
14:48They're not equipped
14:49for important decisions?
14:50No.
14:52That is,
14:53I think women should stick
14:55to their proper sphere.
14:56Oh.
14:57Then should the Queen
14:58have stuck to her proper sphere
14:59and refuse the crown?
15:00Bertha,
15:01I think we must go easy
15:02on my poor sister.
15:03I was just curious,
15:04but of course,
15:05if she'd rather not answer.
15:06I think
15:08I should not be
15:10so impertinent
15:11as to have an opinion
15:12about our sovereign's decisions.
15:20Thank you,
15:21Bannister.
15:22Marion,
15:23you hardly ate anything
15:24at all.
15:26I just have something
15:27on my mind.
15:28It's to do with John.
15:30Our footman seems
15:31to be the topic
15:31of all discourse
15:32in this house.
15:33When I asked him
15:34about the night
15:35at Delmonico's,
15:36he turned to Ashton.
15:38I thought,
15:41perhaps it has to do
15:43with Maud Beaton.
15:44Are you trying
15:45to drive me
15:45to an early grave?
15:46No.
15:47Then why mention
15:48that name?
15:49It seems Maud Beaton
15:51is back in town,
15:52Mama.
15:53And will she return
15:54my fortune?
15:57No.
15:58How can you be sure?
16:01Because she's working
16:02at a sort of
16:05club.
16:05A club?
16:07Is it a respectable
16:09establishment?
16:13No.
16:16Perhaps we should
16:17leave it at that
16:17for tonight.
16:27Now that your mother
16:28is not present,
16:30please tell me
16:31where Larry was
16:32the night he saw
16:33Maud Beaton.
16:34Maud Beaton?
16:35It's not important.
16:36I disagree.
16:38It's important enough
16:39for you,
16:40John,
16:40and even Larry
16:40to hide it from me.
16:44That's because
16:45Miss Beaton
16:47seems to be working
16:48in a...
16:52a house of ill repute.
16:57What was Larry Russell
16:58doing at that kind
17:00of establishment?
17:02Well, I think he was
17:04there with a group
17:04of friends.
17:05That doesn't answer
17:06my question.
17:06Marion.
17:07I'm sure there was
17:07no harm in it.
17:08Larry visits a house
17:09of ill repute
17:09and you think
17:10there's no harm in it?
17:11There is,
17:11as far as I'm concerned.
17:12Marion, I'm certain
17:13he was just having
17:13a sociable evening time.
17:15Mr. Merrick,
17:17you cannot trust
17:18Risley Sage.
17:19Why should I trust you?
17:20His deal
17:21will only momentarily
17:23line your coffers.
17:25I intend to make history
17:26with your family's railway
17:28and I guarantee
17:30the Merricks
17:31will always have
17:32a seat at the table.
17:32A table in which
17:33you will now be
17:35the majority shareholder.
17:36Oh, God's sake!
17:37Which do you want, Merrick?
17:39For Sage to suck
17:41the blood out
17:41of your company
17:42or for Russell
17:43to pump life into it?
17:44You have no third option.
17:46Either you will sign
17:47the papers
17:48or show to the world
17:49that you're a fool.
17:50You have a large shareholding
17:51but if you don't sign
17:52it is a share of nothing.
17:54Once I have 51%,
17:55your family legacy
17:57will be safe.
17:58So you keep saying.
18:01Edgar,
18:02we need you to sign
18:04and shake on it
18:05if we are ever
18:05to be free
18:06of this logjam.
18:07Risley Sage
18:08will wake up tomorrow
18:09and find himself
18:11outflanked.
18:11Something we can
18:12all be glad of.
18:15Amen to that.
18:22Very well.
18:23I'll sign.
18:25But in the company
18:26of my lawyers
18:27and back in New York.
18:31Your word is good
18:32enough for me.
18:39I'm going to have a rest
18:40before I get changed.
18:41You'd better watch out.
18:43You made a fool
18:43of Sarah last night.
18:45Good.
18:46I was glad
18:47he didn't defend her.
18:48Hector never says anything
18:49either to defend
18:49or attack.
18:50He's a frightened man.
18:51You must convince him
18:52his welfare is as safe
18:53in your hands
18:53as it is in hers.
18:54How?
18:55You're not a fool,
18:56Gladys.
18:57Show an interest
18:57in the estate.
18:58Show an interest in him.
18:59In this setup,
19:00you outrank Lady Sarah.
19:01Just make sure
19:02everyone knows it.
19:03I wish she'd give up
19:04on me and go.
19:04The only person
19:05to make her go
19:06is Hector.
19:06That is what
19:07he must work on.
19:08Your father is a businessman.
19:09You know how
19:10to manage events.
19:11If I do,
19:12I learned it from you
19:13and not from father.
19:14Then put it to good use.
19:16Make him love you.
19:17Make him value you.
19:19That is the answer,
19:20but only you can do it.
19:21I can't.
19:22And now I'm going
19:23to my room.
19:38You're back.
19:39How is Philadelphia?
19:41Interesting.
19:41What do you know
19:42about Frances Watkins' harbor?
19:44Only what you've told me.
19:45She's a woman
19:46who believes
19:46in universal suffrage.
19:48Why?
19:49Because I've met her now.
19:50Properly.
19:51And she was
19:52very inspired.
19:53She seems like
19:54a real force.
19:57I would think
19:58this would rouse you
19:58even more to the cause,
19:59but you seem
20:00a little glum.
20:02Mr. Fortune showed up
20:03at the train station.
20:04He and William
20:05had works,
20:05and it nearly turned
20:07physical before
20:08Mr. Fortune left.
20:08Oh, my word.
20:10Did you tell
20:11Dr. Kirkland
20:12about Fortune?
20:12There wasn't time.
20:14I had my train to catch,
20:15but I owe him
20:16an explanation.
20:17You must be
20:17completely honest.
20:18Secrets and lies
20:19are not any sort
20:20of foundation
20:20from which to build
20:21a marriage.
20:22Take it from me.
20:22What do you mean?
20:23While you were away,
20:24Larry and I
20:25got engaged.
20:26What?
20:27Oh, but that's
20:28marvelous.
20:29It was marvelous
20:30until I discovered
20:31that on that very
20:32same night,
20:33he visited,
20:38I can't say the word.
20:41You don't mean it.
20:42But I do.
20:43He went to
20:43a disorderly house.
20:45He told me he was
20:46going to Delmonico's
20:47with friends,
20:47but then I discovered
20:48his true whereabouts.
20:50And not from him.
20:52Are you certain
20:53of all the facts?
20:54I'm certain
20:54that he was there.
20:58We both know
20:59what men do
20:59at those type
21:00of establishments.
21:07It's particularly
21:08cruel,
21:09as we had
21:10just told my aunts
21:11and his parents
21:12of our engagement.
21:13I'm so sorry.
21:22there goes
21:23a very disappointed
21:24man.
21:25Life is full
21:26of disappointments.
21:28You must know
21:29that by now.
21:30He's not in the position
21:32he'd like you to think.
21:33Russell is stretched.
21:35His railroad expansion
21:36is not as married.
21:37He is stretched.
21:39Tight as a drum.
21:40You are absolutely
21:41sure of this.
21:44I really do know
21:45where the bodies
21:45are buried.
21:46Then as soon as
21:47we are back
21:47in the city,
21:49I suggest
21:51we start digging.
21:54Now,
21:55down.
22:00Whoa.
22:17Mr. Russell.
22:18You must be
22:18the metallurgist.
22:19Seth Dawson,
22:20welcome to Marenzi.
22:21I found something
22:22that I think
22:22will interest you.
22:28Ah,
22:29there you are.
22:29Hotel Bannister
22:30where I'm ready
22:31for dinner.
22:33Marion,
22:34are you quite all right?
22:35No,
22:36I'm really not.
22:37Oh,
22:37my dear.
22:38Come and sit.
22:44It seems
22:44I can no longer
22:45marry Larry Russell.
22:47Thank goodness.
22:48Agnes,
22:49but what has happened?
22:51It turns out
22:52I didn't know Larry
22:52as well as I thought.
22:54It seems
22:56on the night
22:57we got engaged,
22:58he visited
22:59a house of ill fame.
23:00What?
23:01Marion.
23:02Well,
23:03I hope this means
23:03that in the future
23:04you will listen
23:05to your aunts
23:06and not try
23:08to find a handsome hero.
23:09Your husband
23:10is not supposed
23:11to be a tenor
23:12in the opera,
23:13but a wise,
23:14well-placed gentleman
23:15who can give you
23:16a decent life.
23:17Are you
23:19absolutely sure
23:20about this?
23:21If you ask me,
23:22you're making
23:22too much of it.
23:23Which is precisely
23:24why no one
23:24has asked you.
23:25I thought it through.
23:26There's nothing to do
23:27but to call off
23:28the engagement.
23:29But shouldn't you
23:29give Mr. Russell
23:31the chance
23:31to speak for himself?
23:33Maybe there was
23:34some circumstance
23:35that you don't know about.
23:37What kind of circumstance
23:38could that be?
23:39Well,
23:41maybe...
23:42Don't you see?
23:42Whatever his excuse,
23:45this will be
23:46a shadow
23:46between us.
23:47Marion is right.
23:51Very well,
23:52Mr. Dawson.
23:54You've piqued
23:54my curiosity.
23:56Fire away.
23:57Since I got
23:58your cable,
23:59we've been exploring
24:00the potential
24:01of the copper mines.
24:02My father was not
24:02convinced they had
24:03much value,
24:04but I wanted to make sure.
24:05I know it will be expensive.
24:07It would cost a lot,
24:08yes,
24:09but you could gain
24:10a lot, too.
24:11We believe they've been
24:12mining the wrong areas
24:13without proper research
24:14beforehand.
24:15I had my men
24:15drill several shafts.
24:17And were there
24:17any results?
24:18One shaft
24:19near the Atlanta
24:20copper mine
24:20proved very interesting.
24:24What are you telling me?
24:26We found a rich
24:28seam of first-rate copper
24:30200 yards down,
24:31enough to last
24:32a century or more.
24:34Was it just one shaft?
24:36It's early days.
24:37We've only checked
24:38a few sites,
24:39but there will be more.
24:42Possibly much more.
24:43But the deals
24:44for the mines
24:44haven't gone through yet.
24:45Then get them through,
24:47Mr. Russell,
24:48as soon as you can.
24:49All the deals
24:50for all the mines.
24:52And make them generous
24:54if you want to avoid
24:55trouble further down the line.
25:04Sorry, I don't mean
25:05to disturb you.
25:05No, no, please.
25:07Luncheon is in a minute,
25:08and there's something
25:09I wanted to ask you.
25:11Really?
25:11What's that?
25:13Would you mind
25:14if I learned more
25:14about the estate?
25:16Well, I normally let Sarah
25:17deal with the farms
25:18and everything.
25:18But surely it would be good
25:20for us to know
25:20what's going on.
25:21If only so that you could
25:22manage if Lady Sarah
25:23were indisposed.
25:24I agree,
25:25it wouldn't be a bad idea.
25:26I thought I'd ask
25:27Mr. Forrester
25:27to drive me around,
25:29explain about
25:29the different tenancies
25:30as well as
25:31what we farm in hand.
25:33I'd like to meet
25:34the tenant farmers
25:35and their wives.
25:35Well, they'd certainly
25:36like to meet you.
25:37What's this?
25:39Gladys is curious
25:40about the estate.
25:41She's going to get
25:41Forrester to explain it all,
25:42the tenants,
25:43the crops, you know.
25:45Why?
25:45I just want to understand
25:46how an English estate works.
25:48Have you put her up to this?
25:49Sarah,
25:49Gladys lives here now.
25:50She's entitled
25:51to be interested.
25:58We were curious
25:59downstairs
26:00as to why
26:00Miss Marion
26:01has finished
26:02with Mr. Mary.
26:03You really do know
26:04everything that goes on
26:05in this house,
26:06don't you?
26:06We try to,
26:07yes, ma'am.
26:08I'm not the person
26:09to ask.
26:10What I don't understand
26:11is why she took up
26:12with him in the first place.
26:16Is there something else?
26:18There is, ma'am,
26:18but I don't want
26:19to bother you with it.
26:20You'll find a way.
26:22It's the footman,
26:23John, ma'am.
26:24He seems to think
26:25he's to live on here
26:26as long as he wants
26:27when his circumstances
26:28have quite changed.
26:29Don't remind me.
26:30It's hard on the rest.
26:31They're afraid
26:32he's taking advantage.
26:33Are they?
26:34You can see why
26:34they're not happy.
26:36They feel belittled
26:37by his staying on here
26:38when he doesn't need
26:39the work.
26:40He's just play-acting
26:41when it's their real life.
26:43Well, I'm sure
26:43he'll soon make
26:44other plans,
26:45but since we do not
26:46know the size
26:46of his fortune,
26:47I don't suppose
26:48we can simply
26:48throw him out
26:49on the street.
26:50But we do know
26:51the size.
26:51Now, I asked Bannister
26:53to inquire.
26:54He did not give me
26:54an answer.
26:55Perhaps he was fearful
26:56it might agitate you.
26:57And I trust you are not?
27:00He was paid
27:01three hundred thousand dollars.
27:03What?
27:07It is hard to believe
27:08there is a God
27:08in heaven
27:09when such things
27:10happen on Earth.
27:11Please ask Mrs. Forte
27:12to come to my room
27:13at once.
27:15Mrs. Forte!
27:19Agnes?
27:21Agnes?
27:22Are you all right?
27:23No.
27:24I have just heard news
27:25from which I may
27:26never recover.
27:27This clock venture
27:28has earned a tremendous
27:30amount of money for John.
27:32We knew it was a success.
27:33A three hundred thousand
27:34dollar success?
27:36Oh.
27:37What do you plan
27:38to do about this?
27:40Must I do anything?
27:41Well, can't you see
27:42it's ridiculous?
27:43I sit here
27:44nursing my ruin
27:45while our footman
27:46could buy us out
27:47in an hour
27:47and not notice the difference.
27:49How am I responsible?
27:50Well, all this is happening
27:51under your watch.
27:53Manage your house.
27:54It's my house
27:55when things go awry.
27:57So it would seem.
27:58And I do not wish
27:59to feel that I should
28:00hold out the dish
28:01while my footman
28:02helps himself.
28:04Hmm.
28:14Clay's done this.
28:15He and Sage.
28:17There are things
28:18in the coverage
28:18that only Clay
28:19could have known.
28:20For you, sir.
28:21Thank you, Jones.
28:23What's happening now?
28:24Shares of Russell Industries
28:26are starting to plummet.
28:28That's not all.
28:30The Merricks
28:30are pulling out.
28:32Damn Clay!
28:33Stand into hell!
28:35I should have had him killed.
28:37I'm sure you don't mean that.
28:38Are you?
28:39Our two primary banks
28:40are teetering
28:41on the brink of failure.
28:42Everything I've built
28:43is on the verge of collapse.
28:46We need to stabilize the stock.
28:48How?
28:49Without more capital...
28:49I'll get the money.
28:50But if we don't...
28:51I said I'd find the money.
28:56Mrs. Forte.
28:59I hope this means
29:00you received my note.
29:02Yes.
29:06Did you feel
29:07a light breeze
29:08as you came in?
29:11I believe I did.
29:12That was your husband
29:14arriving to keep you company.
29:16I'm so glad.
29:18I have many questions
29:19for Mr. Forte.
29:21He was so wise.
29:22I miss his judgment
29:23very much.
29:24Ask him.
29:27Darling,
29:28I need your guidance.
29:30I seem to be in charge
29:32of a house
29:33that is falling apart.
29:35I don't know what to do.
29:37Mr. Forte says
29:40to follow your good, pure heart.
29:43And that will lead you
29:45to make the right decisions.
29:47He says
29:48to think about
29:49his favorite biblical verse.
29:53Trust in the Lord
29:55with all thine heart
29:56and lean not
29:57unto thine own understanding.
29:59Oh, he says
30:01exactamente.
30:04Does he?
30:05Yes.
30:06How strange.
30:07He couldn't speak Italian.
30:09He never learned it.
30:10That's hard to believe
30:11of someone called
30:12Luca Forte.
30:14He wasn't called Luca.
30:16His name was
30:17Luke Forte.
30:18That was a misprint
30:20in the Times.
30:21But I've...
30:29No.
30:32None of this is true,
30:34is it?
30:37You just read his name
30:39in the Times.
30:40Mrs. Forte,
30:42I assure you...
30:43You read the papers
30:44and you asked around
30:46and the rest
30:48I've given you myself.
30:50Stupid,
30:51babbling fool
30:52that I am.
30:53I would never
30:54ask around.
30:55I loved my husband
30:56more than you can know.
30:59And so I longed
31:00to believe
31:01that there was a way
31:02I could still reach him.
31:03And you can.
31:04Mr. Forte is here right now.
31:05Please don't lie to me.
31:06Please don't lie to me anymore.
31:09I'm ashamed
31:10of my sentimental folly.
31:12But you should be ashamed
31:13of your existence.
31:20Dr. Kirkland.
31:22This is very nice of you.
31:24Please sit.
31:28Miss Ellen,
31:28can we have some tea?
31:36Oh.
31:38I mustn't take up
31:39too much of your time,
31:40but I wanted to hear
31:41how you got on
31:42in Philadelphia.
31:43Well, my main achievement
31:44was to persuade
31:45Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
31:46to come and speak
31:47in Brooklyn.
31:48Does she need
31:49all those names?
31:50She's going to host
31:51a suffrage event here.
31:53Oh.
31:53Do you expect
31:54a large crowd?
31:55No, she does
31:56these smaller meetings
31:57to introduce women
31:58to the cause
31:58so that hopefully
31:59they'll spread the word.
32:00It's a sort of
32:02ladies tea,
32:03but with a purpose.
32:05Can men come too,
32:06if they agree?
32:07There are no rules
32:08against it,
32:09but I'm not sure
32:09you'd be comfortable.
32:11Well, maybe you could
32:13include my mother.
32:15Is Mrs. Kirkland
32:17interested in
32:18women's voting rights?
32:19To be honest,
32:20it didn't seem so to me.
32:22Well, she'll be interested
32:23in a women's gathering
32:24with tea.
32:25Okay, well,
32:26we will of course invite her.
32:31There is something
32:32I wanted to put straight
32:34or try to
32:35if you have time.
32:37Of course.
32:39That scene
32:41with Mr. Fortune...
32:42You really don't
32:42have to explain.
32:43No, I do.
32:47Mr. Fortune gave me
32:48a job at the Globe.
32:50It was a wonderful
32:52opportunity,
32:52and I am grateful
32:53for it to this day.
32:56But in time,
32:58he did become
32:59something more to me,
33:00and I think
33:01he would say the same.
33:04But as a married man,
33:07is he entitled
33:08to say the same?
33:08I don't want to suggest
33:09that this was his fault.
33:11It was both
33:11our faults.
33:12If anyone,
33:13it was my fault
33:14saying yes
33:14to accepting
33:15a new assignment.
33:16You'll know
33:16that's not how
33:17I'd see it.
33:18But we all
33:19have a past,
33:20and I'm glad
33:21you've told me.
33:23I see now
33:23that we can't
33:24or shouldn't
33:25work together.
33:26Which will save me
33:27from having to engage
33:28in any more
33:28fisticuffs.
33:31Is that a risk?
33:32Oh, indeed.
33:33When someone's
33:34as important
33:34in a man's life
33:35as you are to me,
33:37then I'm bound
33:38to fight if I must.
33:42That's not everything.
33:43It may not be,
33:44but I don't need
33:46everything.
33:47What matters to me
33:50is the present.
33:59Oh, Ada.
34:04Ada?
34:08My goodness.
34:11Does this have to do
34:13with Mary and her beau?
34:16It's Luke.
34:18I feel so near to him.
34:22So very near.
34:24Of course you do.
34:28Listen,
34:29Luke is everywhere
34:29you are.
34:31Because he's
34:32in your heart.
34:35Thank you, Agnes.
34:39Oh, darling.
34:42I know you miss him.
34:48The forest has
34:49looked up to you.
34:51He's been so patient,
34:52for which I'm
34:52really grateful.
34:53And do you plan
34:55any changes?
34:56Too early for that.
34:58But there is an area
34:59by the bridge
34:59on the South Lake
35:00where I thought
35:00we might plant
35:01a copse of
35:01indigenous English trees
35:02and dedicated
35:03to Her Majesty's
35:0450th anniversary.
35:06How charming.
35:07Eh, Hector?
35:08What, sir?
35:08The Duchess is planning
35:10a new wood
35:11to mark the Queen's
35:12next anniversary.
35:13Oh, no need.
35:14Everything for that
35:15is already arranged.
35:18Ladies,
35:19I'm catching your eye.
35:26Sarah?
35:30Are you quite well?
35:32Why shouldn't I be?
35:34I thought
35:34when you stood
35:35without waiting for me,
35:36you must be ill.
35:45I'm so glad
35:45if I was wrong.
35:52As I was saying,
35:54your family must have been
35:54farming here for many years.
35:55We were given the land
35:56by King William III
35:58for doing up
35:58his shoelaces
35:59or something.
36:01Well done.
36:04What was that about?
36:06Why did you stand
36:07without waiting for her?
36:08I've always decided
36:10when the women
36:10go through.
36:11That was before.
36:12There was no Duchess then.
36:14Now there is one
36:15and you should have waited.
36:18Yes.
36:20Right.
36:30I have always
36:31supported Negro suffrage.
36:33Frederick Douglass
36:34and I believed deeply
36:35in the urgency
36:36behind the 15th Amendment.
36:38But of course,
36:38men are not the only ones
36:40with real claims
36:41to the vote.
36:43Women deserve the right
36:44to the ballot, too.
36:45Yes.
36:46Well said.
36:46Bravo.
36:47Yes.
36:48As women,
36:49I think we should be
36:50about God's work,
36:51educating our children.
36:52Leave the vote
36:53for the next generation.
36:54I am the next generation.
36:55And I think we should
36:57fight for it now.
36:58Exactly.
36:59We have to keep pushing.
37:00But aren't we trying
37:01to do too much too soon?
37:02It's barely a minute
37:02since emancipation.
37:04Let's fight to protect
37:05the rights of our husbands
37:06to vote.
37:07They will give us
37:08a voice in the government.
37:09My husband's dead.
37:11Do I still have a say
37:12in the government?
37:13Complacency will yield nothing.
37:15We need more voices
37:17like yours, Miss Scott.
37:18Oh.
37:19It's not going to happen
37:20all at once.
37:22It's best to pick
37:23our battles.
37:24I respectfully disagree.
37:26We must act
37:27so that we have a voice.
37:28Oh, I don't know.
37:30In my day,
37:31a ladies' tea
37:32would consist of
37:33sharing recipes,
37:34talking about our children.
37:36I'm sorry.
37:37I thought William
37:38would have told you
37:38that this was
37:39a suffrage meeting.
37:40Sometimes my son
37:41leaves out the details.
37:43Oh.
37:44Oh.
37:45Mrs. Harper,
37:46we are so grateful
37:47for your time.
37:48I'm curious to know
37:49how you manage it all.
37:51You have children, yes?
37:52Well, now that they're grown
37:54and I don't have a husband
37:55to look after,
37:56there's more time to write
37:58and pursue this cause.
38:00I see.
38:09I want to finish a letter
38:10before dinner.
38:13Bannister?
38:14One minute.
38:16It has come to my attention
38:17that you knew
38:18what John made,
38:19but you chose not
38:20to tell me.
38:21Well, Mom, I...
38:22He thought it might interfere
38:23with your digestion, Mama.
38:25I know it's played
38:26havoc with mine.
38:27Bannister,
38:28I want you to know
38:29we all support John
38:30and wish him well,
38:32and we do not seek
38:33to pry into his secrets.
38:35I do.
38:36Thank you, Bannister.
38:38But what do you plan
38:39to do about John?
38:41Or are you happy
38:42to share your house
38:43with a Rockefeller
38:44in livery?
38:45Oscar?
38:45It does seem odd,
38:47Aunt Ada.
38:48And is it right for John?
38:52Let me think about it.
38:57I don't think
38:58she enjoyed herself.
38:59Didn't you tell her
39:00what this meeting was about?
39:01She wouldn't have come
39:02if she knew.
39:04Well, she does not believe
39:05in woman's suffrage.
39:06Not now, anyway.
39:08Not when the colored man's vote
39:09is under threat
39:10on every side.
39:10She has a point.
39:12Yes, she has a point,
39:13but it's not the main point.
39:14What we need is
39:15for every adult,
39:17colored, white, man, woman
39:18to have the vote.
39:20You all believe in justice,
39:21wherever your priorities lie.
39:23Hmm.
39:24Anyway,
39:25it won't have hurt her
39:26to hear Miss Harper's views.
39:27That's right.
39:28And yours.
39:30Mrs. Kirkland has asked
39:31for her purse.
39:32Hmm.
39:33I'm sure she has.
39:40I understand that you find
39:41Miss Scott
39:42interesting and forceful.
39:44Certainly forceful.
39:47Do you see her
39:49finding time
39:50in her busy life
39:51to support your work,
39:53to run your house,
39:55to rear your children?
39:56I'd be proud of a wife
39:58who fought for reform
39:58and equality.
40:01No.
40:03You'd be proud of a woman
40:04who fought for those things.
40:07A wife
40:08is something different.
40:12I'm too ambitious,
40:13too busy,
40:14too committed.
40:15Oh,
40:15and I'm not the right color.
40:18Well,
40:18she's not the only one
40:20with reservations.
40:22Your father and I
40:23like William,
40:23but
40:24when you marry,
40:26you take on
40:27the whole family.
40:29Are you sure
40:30you're ready for that?
40:32I have to be
40:35Mama.
40:37I feel more for him
40:39than I've ever felt before.
40:42I'm glad to hear it.
40:45But is he strong enough,
40:47do you think,
40:48to take on his mother
40:49and fight for his wife?
40:51Hmm.
40:52That's what you need
40:53to be sure of.
41:02I'm sorry, ma'am.
41:03I thought you'd all
41:04gone to bed.
41:04Oh.
41:05I came for the lamps,
41:06but I can get him later.
41:07Oh.
41:08If you could stay
41:09for just a minute
41:11and please sit.
41:21I gathered the payment
41:22for the clock
41:23has been received.
41:25Yes, ma'am.
41:26Mrs. Van Ryn and I
41:28believe it's time
41:29you made your way
41:30in the world.
41:35You mean
41:36to hand in my notice?
41:37Your life is different
41:38now, John.
41:39In a good way,
41:40a fine way,
41:42through your own
41:43hard work.
41:44It's praiseworthy.
41:46There's nothing sad
41:47about it.
41:48Except this house
41:48is the closest thing
41:49to a home I've ever known.
41:52The people I work with
41:53have been like my family.
41:55I've never had that before.
41:57And they'll go on
41:58being your family
41:59and taking pride in you.
42:02So you think it's wrong
42:03for me to continue
42:04as your footman?
42:05Not wrong, exactly,
42:06but somehow
42:06not quite truthful.
42:08You've made a different
42:10place for yourself
42:11in the world
42:11a good place.
42:13And now it's time
42:14for you to occupy it.
42:16We're all
42:17so very proud of you.
42:23I'll leave tomorrow morning
42:24if you really think
42:25it's best.
42:26I do.
42:28And so will you
42:29when you've had time
42:29to consider it.
42:31I hope so, ma'am.
42:34But I'll miss you.
42:37You'll miss everyone.
42:41And John,
42:46we're all very proud.
43:04I got your message.
43:06So I see.
43:10Here is your ticket
43:11to Sandusky
43:13and $100.
43:16What?
43:19I steal everything
43:20you have
43:21and you give me
43:21$100.
43:22And a ticket
43:23to Ohio.
43:25But why?
43:26I don't know exactly.
43:29But it seems to me
43:32I was ready
43:32to spend my life
43:33with you.
43:35Surely I should
43:36get you out of trouble now.
43:38Or I should try to
43:39at least.
43:41You're a strange man.
43:44Where did you find
43:45the money?
43:45I'm working.
43:47I'm a broker again.
43:49Despite certain setbacks.
43:52And you'd better go
43:54or you'll miss your trade.
43:58I don't know
43:58how to thank you.
43:59No.
44:01No, don't try.
44:03But stay away
44:03from New York
44:05and find a better life.
44:31Miss Brooke.
44:32Will you please
44:33give this to Mr. Russell
44:34when he returns
44:34from her NC?
44:35Of course.
44:36it may be some time
44:37you wouldn't rather
44:38cable him.
44:39No.
44:39The letter explains
44:40things properly.
44:59Goodbye, Mrs. Bower.
45:01You have been very good
45:02to me in my years here.
45:04So good.
45:06I know, Jack.
45:08I hate to see you go.
45:10I hate to see you go home.
45:21Thank you, Mr. Bannister.
45:23You'll let us know
45:24when you settle.
45:25I'll be at a hotel first.
45:27Mistress likes the Brunswick
45:28on Fifth Avenue.
45:29It's very grand.
45:31You might try
45:31You might try
45:32Merchant's Hotel
45:32on Courtland
45:33near Wall Street.
45:34It's quite reasonable.
45:35I will.
45:39Have you nothing to say,
45:40Miss Armstrong?
45:42He's done well.
45:44Good luck to him.
45:46I suppose that's more
45:47than you've ever said before.
45:54Bridget,
45:54could I have a minute?
45:59What is it?
46:01After I'm gone,
46:03will you give these
46:04to everyone?
46:05There's one for all of you
46:06and the ladies upstairs.
46:08Of course.
46:09You'll keep in touch.
46:11You'll let us know
46:12where you'll be.
46:13I will.
46:15Goodbye, Bridget.
46:17Goodbye, Jack.
46:19Goodbye, Jack.
46:44I've tried every bank
46:45in New York.
46:48Have you encabled
46:48my contacts in London?
46:50No one is willing
46:51to part with a shilling.
46:52But Mr. Morgan?
46:54He hasn't even answered.
46:57He said there would be chaos
46:58and he wasn't wrong.
47:00If this triggers a panic,
47:02it could be 1873 all over again.
47:04If you've exhausted
47:05all other avenues,
47:07perhaps you should consider
47:08selling the Illinois shares
47:10to Risley Sage.
47:11Never.
47:13I refuse to let
47:13that spineless turncoat
47:15Richard Clay
47:15be the instrument of my demise.
47:17I'm only suggesting...
47:18There is no compromise,
47:19Mr. Brinkley.
47:21If I can't save my company,
47:26then I'll let it burn.
47:29Well, I've given the letter
47:31for Larry to Mr. Church,
47:32so I suppose it's done now.
47:34Oh, Marion.
47:36I wish there was another way.
47:38Clearly there isn't.
47:39But Marion has handled
47:41the situation
47:42as she should have,
47:43and we ought to commend her.
47:44Apologies for not having
47:45informed you sooner,
47:46but I have a meeting
47:47at the Union Club.
47:48Your presence at our table
47:49is so infrequent.
47:51Perhaps you should only inform us
47:53when you will be joining us.
47:56didn't you already bring
47:57the morning mail?
47:58John the footman.
48:00Ask these be delivered to you.
48:02Oh, what's going on?
48:04But what is this?
48:06Oh!
48:08This is so much more
48:10than we lent him.
48:11He's very grateful
48:13for our help
48:13and he wants to show it.
48:15I wish I'd lent him some.
48:16I only hope that Armstrong
48:18didn't drive him away.
48:20Oh, I don't think so, Mom.
48:21We all knew that John
48:22needed to move forward
48:23with his life
48:24and so did he.
48:25Thank you, Bannister.
48:30Imagine that.
48:38I've distributed
48:38the envelopes upstairs.
48:40So, I suppose
48:41we should open ours.
48:43Oh, at last.
48:44If I had to wait
48:45another minute,
48:45I think I'd burst.
48:46I expect he's just
48:48returning our investment
48:49in his patent.
48:52Oh, this is 20 times
48:57that I gave him.
48:58I don't understand.
48:59Why have I got one?
49:00And I never gave him anything.
49:01Because he's a lovely,
49:03generous young man
49:04which you never saw.
49:05This is beyond generous
49:06but given the man
49:08we know Jack to be,
49:09not surprising.
49:11Oh, when I think
49:12of the young boy
49:14who first came here,
49:15I'm bursting with pride.
49:22Fox said you wanted
49:23to see me.
49:24I'd like a word
49:24before I go.
49:27What is it, Andre?
49:29The cases are in the carriage,
49:31madame.
49:36Gladys will miss you.
49:37She's loved having you here.
49:39Try to value her, Hector.
49:41She has a good heart
49:42and a good mind
49:43and she can help you
49:44in many ways.
49:45I'm sure that's true.
49:46But let her see
49:47that this is her house now,
49:49yours and hers.
49:51Sarah doesn't mean any harm.
49:52She may not,
49:53but she causes it.
49:55Face her down now
49:55and she'll be fine.
49:57Leave the reins in her hands
49:58and misery lies ahead.
50:00I'll do my best.
50:01Your best is all that I ask.
50:03And if I were you,
50:04I'd get Adelheid back
50:05as her maid.
50:06I'll see what I can do.
50:07There you are.
50:08The carriage is waiting.
50:10Will Gladys go to the station
50:12with you?
50:13Or might it be best
50:13to get the sobbing done first?
50:15I think Gladys should decide
50:16where she wants to say goodbye.
50:17Don't you agree, Hector?
50:19I certainly do.
50:28I've been staring at these
50:29until I'm blue in the face.
50:31Details of the mistress's wardrobe,
50:33details of Miss Gladys's wardrobe,
50:35subjects discussed
50:36between Mr. and Mrs. Russell
50:37about what they both think
50:38about Mr. Larry,
50:39about Miss Brooke.
50:41What are you saying?
50:42It has to be Miss Andre.
50:44Don't you think?
50:46So, what happens now?
50:47We must find a time
50:49to convince Mr. Church
50:50and then we can all tackle
50:52Mrs. Russell when she gets back.
51:01It's better to say goodbye here.
51:05I'm so proud of the woman
51:07you're becoming, Gladys.
51:09Just remember who you are.
51:35I like this new version
51:36of Oscar Van Ryn.
51:37You think I was foolish?
51:39I think you were kind.
51:41I didn't get the money back.
51:42She wasn't to blame.
51:43Not really.
51:44Crowther was the thief.
51:46And he tricked her
51:47just like he tricked you.
51:48So we're both Crowther's victim.
51:51Aren't you?
51:52She probably won't change her ways,
51:54but she might.
51:55And if she does,
51:56it will be you
51:58she has to thank.
52:00Well done.
52:05Are you pleased
52:06with your investment?
52:07Very.
52:07I'll invest more.
52:10Just like that.
52:11Just like that.
52:12You've defied the odds.
52:17This is where we part.
52:20I'll see you on Tuesday
52:21where I will produce
52:22Mr. Hightower
52:23for you
52:23to charm
52:24into becoming
52:25your latest
52:25lucky client.
52:30You are my savior.
52:32I am.
52:35I thank you
52:37with all my heart.
52:38I thank you.
52:41I thank you.
52:51I thank you.
52:55I thank you.
52:56I thank you.
52:56I thank you.
52:56I thank you.
52:56I thank you.
52:57I thank you.
