The Forsyte Saga ⭐ Ep 1 ⭐ 2002 TV series

  • 1:20 - 1:22
    Evening, sir.
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    How is she?
  • 1:33 - 1:35
    She's still hot, but she's sleeping.
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    That's something.
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    l believe there's no danger, sir.
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    l'm sorry.
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    How is she?
  • 2:04 - 2:08
    Much the same.
    l still don't think the doctor, though, do you?
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    No, though we should not go out,
    all the same.
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    - What, neither of you?
    - No.
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    l'll, erm...
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    l'll write them a line.
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    That's a poor do.
    They may be that side, but they're still family.
  • 2:21 - 2:22
    You can carry the flag, Dad.
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    Through the valley of death.
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    Well, l hope you know
    what you're doing, playing Cupid.
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    lntroducing our Winifred to that Dartie fellow.
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    - ls he a good sort?
    - Yes, he is, Uncle.
  • 2:44 - 2:46
    At least, all the ladies think so.
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    CABB Y: Thanking you, guv'nor.
  • 2:54 - 2:55
    Courage, mon brave.
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    - They'll adore you.
    - Dartie.
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    - Soames.
    - Not now. Come on, Monty.
  • 3:08 - 3:12
    ANN: Of all people, it's Soames
    who should carry on the family name.
  • 3:13 - 3:17
    Cart before the horse.
    What are your thoughts about a wife, Soames?
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    None as yet,
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    but l assure you, Cousin George,
    you'll be the first to hear.
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    That one will chime in.
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    Sorry, Aunt Ann.
  • 3:26 - 3:29
    Find yourself a wife, Soames, dear.
  • 3:29 - 3:33
    Young Jolyon sent a very kind apology, Juley.
  • 3:33 - 3:35
    l so hope it's not serious.
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    Oh, serious?
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    Their little girl is ill.
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    Oh, dear, dear, dear.
  • 3:41 - 3:43
    Slight fever. Nothing to worry about.
  • 3:43 - 3:47
    JULEY: You must be worried, Jolyon.
    Children all over dying of diphtheria.
  • 3:47 - 3:51
    OLD JOLYON:
    A slight fever. Children get fevers.
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    l don't know why that means they couldn't come.
    Governess is there.
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    People worry too much.
  • 3:55 - 3:57
    Very attractive, their governess.
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    WOMAN: June dotes on her.
  • 4:01 - 4:03
    SECOND WOMAN: ls she French?
  • 4:07 - 4:09
    l think you can go out now after all.
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    lt's rather late now.
  • 4:15 - 4:18
    My cousin's engagement party.
    lt's awkward to turn up at this hour.
  • 4:20 - 4:22
    l'm sorry, sir.
  • 4:22 - 4:23
    Oh, l don't really mind.
  • 4:24 - 4:27
    And Mrs Forsyte? She will be upset?
  • 4:29 - 4:32
    l don't think your mistress
    particularly minds, either.
  • 4:40 - 4:42
    Are you happy, Helene?
  • 4:53 - 4:55
    We do so want you to be happy.
  • 4:58 - 4:59
    Yes.
  • 5:02 - 5:04
    Which of course l am.
  • 5:14 - 5:16
    June's improving.
  • 5:18 - 5:19
    Will you go up to her?
  • 5:19 - 5:21
    Not just yet.
  • 5:21 - 5:22
    Why?
  • 5:22 - 5:25
    l don't wish to see Miss Hilmer at present.
  • 5:26 - 5:27
    Why not?
  • 5:27 - 5:30
    Because, quite frankly, she irritates me.
  • 5:31 - 5:34
    Whenever l see her she appears
    on the brink of a spiritual collapse.
  • 5:34 - 5:37
    - She wasn't born for a servant's life.
    - She's not a servant.
  • 5:37 - 5:41
    Oh, come, Frances. What else is a governess...
  • 5:41 - 5:43
    when all is said.
  • 5:50 - 5:52
    The Reverend Scoles said
    in his sermon last Sunday,
  • 5:52 - 5:57
    ''What shall it profit a man if he gain
    his own soul and lose all his property?''
  • 5:57 - 6:01
    Which is fine if you're Scoles,
    as he has no property.
  • 6:01 - 6:02
    (Laughter)
  • 6:03 - 6:06
    Ladies and er...gentlemen.
  • 6:06 - 6:09
    Look out. A speech.
  • 6:09 - 6:13
    On this auspicious occasion, l would like to...
  • 6:15 - 6:18
    Well, the point is, Winifred,
  • 6:18 - 6:21
    God bless her, but she's the finest
    filly l've ever clapped eyes on.
  • 6:21 - 6:23
    No, l won't spare her blushes.
  • 6:23 - 6:24
    She is, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 6:24 - 6:27
    More than that, she has breeding and pedigree.
  • 6:27 - 6:28
    MAN: Hear, hear!
  • 6:28 - 6:30
    What's he brought in settlement?
  • 6:30 - 6:33
    Oh, Jolyon!
  • 6:33 - 6:38
    Further, my future father-in-law,
    thank you, sir, for welcoming me into your family.
  • 6:38 - 6:39
    lt's your daughter.
  • 6:39 - 6:44
    My dear parents would have rejoiced, sir,
    to join the name of Forsyte to that of Dartie.
  • 6:44 - 6:46
    Proud as you like, sir.
  • 6:46 - 6:51
    And so, ladies and gentlemen,
    may l propose a toast
  • 6:51 - 6:53
    to Miss Winifred Forsyte?
  • 6:53 - 6:56
    ALL: Winifred. Winifred.
  • 6:57 - 7:01
    JOLYON: Where are the Darties?
    EMlLY: Unfortunately dead.
  • 7:01 - 7:03
    - Morning, Mr Soames.
    - Morning.
  • 7:03 - 7:05
    - Morning, sir.
    - Morning, Mr Soames.
  • 7:05 - 7:07
    - Morning, sir.
    - Morning.
  • 7:07 - 7:09
    Morning, sir.
  • 7:09 - 7:12
    - Morning, Mr Soames, sir.
    - Mr James in, Gradman?
  • 7:12 - 7:15
    Yes, in your office, and with a slight dyspepsia,
    l would say, sir.
  • 7:17 - 7:19
    - Morning, Father.
    - Morning.
  • 7:19 - 7:22
    l'm not sure about that mutton.
    Emily will get Welsh.
  • 7:22 - 7:24
    Now then, this Dartie, what do you think?
  • 7:24 - 7:27
    Good-looking fellow. Knows his mind.
  • 7:27 - 7:29
    - He's plausible enough.
    - Spirited, talks well.
  • 7:30 - 7:32
    He's bringing nothing.
  • 7:32 - 7:35
    Well, it's not his fault his parents died, l suppose.
  • 7:35 - 7:36
    Winifred's fond.
  • 7:38 - 7:40
    What are you settling on her?
  • 7:40 - 7:44
    l was thinking ten thousand,
    to be increased with children.
  • 7:44 - 7:45
    More?
  • 7:46 - 7:46
    Less.
  • 7:49 - 7:50
    Outright?
  • 7:50 - 7:52
    And you think not outright?
  • 7:54 - 7:56
    For life, then?
  • 7:58 - 8:00
    Not for life, even?
  • 8:02 - 8:04
    You're worried about him.
  • 8:05 - 8:08
    You...question his nature.
  • 8:12 - 8:14
    (Women laugh and chat)
  • 8:14 - 8:16
    VENDOR: Freshly-cut flowers.
  • 8:16 - 8:21
    When one looks around the park, Freddie,
    one can't help thinking about your family.
  • 8:21 - 8:23
    All your uncles and aunts dotted around.
  • 8:25 - 8:28
    Feels as if, between them,
    they own half of London.
  • 8:28 - 8:29
    l think they almost do.
  • 8:30 - 8:32
    Dashed bad luck in our family.
  • 8:32 - 8:36
    All l need's a bit of cash to start me off,
    and you'll see, Freddie.
  • 8:36 - 8:39
    Your family will own one half of London,
    and l'll own the other.
  • 8:39 - 8:41
    ls that what'll happen, Monty?
  • 8:41 - 8:43
    Once your papa coughs up.
  • 8:44 - 8:48
    The way l see it, it's not so much
    what James's money brings me,
  • 8:48 - 8:50
    as what l'll bring to James's money.
  • 8:52 - 8:54
    Daddy's not settling on me, Monty.
  • 8:55 - 8:56
    What?
  • 8:56 - 8:57
    No.
  • 8:58 - 9:03
    We're to find a house, which he'll rent for us,
    and l'll get an allowance.
  • 9:04 - 9:07
    But as for basic settlement, it's no go, l'm afraid.
  • 9:08 - 9:10
    l don't understand.
  • 9:10 - 9:12
    l'm afraid that's the case.
  • 9:12 - 9:14
    But...
  • 9:15 - 9:17
    Well, l mean to say!
  • 9:19 - 9:21
    Don't be upset.
  • 9:22 - 9:24
    What is it? Doesn't trust me? What's the game?
  • 9:25 - 9:28
    - But we will have a house.
    - Which he'll rent, so it's not ours.
  • 9:28 - 9:29
    Yes.
  • 9:32 - 9:34
    How's a fellow to make his way in the world?
  • 9:34 - 9:35
    l know.
  • 9:38 - 9:40
    lt's a bit thick, old girl.
  • 9:42 - 9:43
    Are you very furious?
  • 9:46 - 9:47
    lt's not what a fellow expects.
  • 9:50 - 9:53
    JOLYON: The trick is to just draw what you see.
  • 9:54 - 9:55
    No.
  • 9:55 - 9:57
    l can't do it.
  • 9:57 - 10:00
    Anybody can do it.
    Children are the best artists.
  • 10:02 - 10:04
    They just draw straight from the soul.
  • 10:06 - 10:08
    lt's easy.
  • 10:09 - 10:12
    l'd be flattered if you drew me.
  • 10:12 - 10:14
    l'd be flattered.
  • 10:16 - 10:18
    June, are you coming?
  • 10:19 - 10:21
    Hello, Dad.
  • 10:22 - 10:24
    l thought you were out.
  • 10:24 - 10:26
    No.
  • 10:28 - 10:30
    l wasn't.
  • 10:40 - 10:41
    We'll pick up on this later.
  • 11:52 - 11:54
    That woman should go.
  • 11:55 - 11:58
    l've done nothing,
    and if somebody has accused me,
  • 11:58 - 12:00
    that somebody is the most despicable liar.
  • 12:01 - 12:02
    Who is it?
  • 12:02 - 12:05
    - Nobody has accused you.
    - ls there something to accuse you of?
  • 12:08 - 12:09
    l swear there is not.
  • 12:09 - 12:11
    A governess.
  • 12:12 - 12:16
    lf you mean that l show the young lady
    respect and consideration,
  • 12:16 - 12:18
    then, yes, l stand accused of that.
  • 12:18 - 12:22
    - She should go.
    - She has nowhere to go. Why should she go?
  • 12:22 - 12:26
    Can you say your behaviour towards her
    has been beyond reproach?
  • 12:26 - 12:28
    - Yes.
    - Good.
  • 12:28 - 12:31
    That's why she should go,
    before there is something to question.
  • 12:34 - 12:35
    Will you tell her to leave?
  • 12:36 - 12:39
    Frances, what reason can l give?
  • 12:40 - 12:43
    FRANCES: Your reason is that l'm asking you.
  • 12:43 - 12:45
    She does not need a reason.
  • 13:16 - 13:17
    Erm...
  • 13:20 - 13:22
    l-l-l've been asked to let you go.
  • 13:31 - 13:32
    l'm not surprised.
  • 13:33 - 13:35
    l wasn't born for this kind of life.
  • 13:38 - 13:40
    l know l can be resentful sometimes,
  • 13:40 - 13:43
    but l never expected to find myself
    in this situation.
  • 13:43 - 13:47
    The quality of your work is not in question.
  • 13:50 - 13:51
    l see.
  • 13:53 - 13:55
    l hope Mrs Forsyte
    will provide me with a character.
  • 13:55 - 13:57
    You don't understand.
  • 14:00 - 14:07
    There's been an implication that my conduct
    towards you has been improper.
  • 14:09 - 14:14
    l've denied any impropriety,
    which, as you know, has been the case.
  • 14:19 - 14:23
    But in my mind l'm guilty
    of the grossest misconduct.
  • 14:27 - 14:29
    l believe...
  • 14:31 - 14:37
    ..that misconduct can only happen
    where there's no love.
  • 14:37 - 14:39
    That is my belief.
  • 15:44 - 15:48
    Whatever was between you, Jolyon,
    l am prepared to ignore.
  • 15:48 - 15:52
    We will not talk about it,
    and we will go on as if nothing had happened.
  • 15:55 - 15:59
    Until this evening...nothing had happened.
  • 16:02 - 16:03
    What?
  • 16:11 - 16:14
    Be careful. Please be careful.
  • 16:14 - 16:17
    Frances, l am truly sorry.
  • 16:20 - 16:22
    l am leaving you.
  • 16:23 - 16:25
    We married in haste.
  • 16:25 - 16:27
    l am not prepared to discuss this
    in front of a servant.
  • 16:27 - 16:31
    - There is no servant here.
    - You don't know what you're saying.
  • 16:32 - 16:34
    Frances, is there love between us?
  • 16:36 - 16:38
    ls there passion?
  • 16:40 - 16:42
    We have a daughter.
  • 16:46 - 16:49
    June will do well. You are an excellent mother.
  • 16:49 - 16:52
    Do you intend to leave her, too?
  • 16:52 - 16:54
    How could l take her from you?
  • 16:54 - 16:57
    Why are you doing this to me?
    Why have you brought her in here?
  • 17:01 - 17:03
    l would give anything not to be cruel.
  • 17:09 - 17:12
    l feel more for Helene
    than l have ever felt for you.
  • 17:15 - 17:18
    That is such a disgusting thing to say.
  • 17:18 - 17:20
    But you feel nothing for me.
  • 17:20 - 17:23
    And we can at least have honesty and respect.
  • 17:30 - 17:32
    The master and the governess.
  • 17:35 - 17:37
    - l love him.
    - You love him?
  • 17:37 - 17:40
    Yet you say there's been nothing between you?
  • 17:40 - 17:41
    Yes.
  • 17:41 - 17:43
    l cannot believe it.
  • 17:43 - 17:48
    Until tonight...there's been nothing between us,
  • 17:48 - 17:51
    - except...
    - Except?
  • 17:53 - 17:54
    The recognition.
  • 17:57 - 17:58
    What do you mean?
  • 17:58 - 18:00
    We recognised...
  • 18:05 - 18:08
    There is a bond existing between us.
  • 18:12 - 18:14
    ls it really so easy?
  • 18:14 - 18:16
    What do you mean?
  • 18:17 - 18:18
    ls that all it takes?
  • 18:20 - 18:22
    A recognition?
  • 18:23 - 18:25
    We must be honest.
  • 18:25 - 18:27
    You never wanted me.
  • 18:27 - 18:29
    Of course l wanted you!
  • 18:30 - 18:33
    But how can one show it
    when one is certain to be rejected?
  • 18:33 - 18:35
    Don't touch me!
  • 18:55 - 18:57
    l need you to leave me, Jolyon.
  • 18:57 - 18:59
    l will stay at my club.
  • 19:03 - 19:04
    Frances, l am so sorry.
  • 19:05 - 19:07
    No. lt was not your fault.
  • 19:11 - 19:13
    There was no recognition.
  • 19:29 - 19:31
    Hello, Dad.
  • 19:32 - 19:33
    l'll say this the once.
  • 19:34 - 19:37
    You knew Frances for four months
    before you married her,
  • 19:37 - 19:39
    and that was on the rebound from Chloe.
  • 19:39 - 19:44
    You've known this woman for... for how long?
    Six months? Yeah?
  • 19:45 - 19:49
    And you throw out everything for her -
    your wife, your child, your home.
  • 19:50 - 19:55
    And in a couple of years, you'll see another
    pretty petticoat and you'll be doing it again.
  • 19:55 - 19:59
    You're susceptible, Jo.
    You need to know that and to fight it.
  • 19:59 - 20:01
    lt's not like that.
  • 20:03 - 20:06
    lf you have these sort of leanings,
    there are ways you can deal with them.
  • 20:06 - 20:08
    You know what l'm talking about.
  • 20:10 - 20:13
    You married for life...
  • 20:13 - 20:15
    to a very good person.
  • 20:17 - 20:19
    And you're breaking her heart.
  • 20:20 - 20:22
    l know.
  • 20:24 - 20:26
    And little June?
  • 20:29 - 20:31
    What do you know about this woman?
  • 20:33 - 20:34
    Huh?
  • 20:34 - 20:37
    - l know what l feel for her.
    - Oh, silly!
  • 20:39 - 20:42
    Silly, silly fellow!
  • 20:45 - 20:47

    to three hundred a year.
  • 20:52 - 20:53
    No.
  • 20:53 - 20:55
    You'll get what you're given.
  • 20:55 - 20:57
    l want nothing. You must give it to Frances.
  • 20:59 - 21:00
    How will you live?
  • 21:00 - 21:02
    - l'll work for a living.
    - Pah!

    Probably do me good.
  • 21:03 - 21:05
    - You'll go to the damn dogs!
    - l hope not.
  • 21:10 - 21:12
    Don't do this, my boy.
  • 21:14 - 21:15
    The whole world will know.
  • 21:15 - 21:19
    She's your governess. Think of the scandal.
  • 21:20 - 21:22
    l'm sorry, Dad.
  • 21:29 - 21:31
    That's it, then.
  • 21:31 - 21:33
    My house is barred to you, boy.
  • 21:33 - 21:35
    Simple as that. l can't see you.

  • 22:11 - 22:13
    The carriage is to take her to her lodgings, sir.
  • 22:13 - 22:15
    You can get her a cab.
  • 22:15 - 22:17
    And take those things out of the hall.
  • 22:17 - 22:20
    There's a servants' entrance
    or had you forgotten?
  • 22:20 - 22:21
    Very good, sir.

    Goodbye, sir.

    Mr Forsyte is from London.

    Excuse me. Liversedge, old chap.

    - Can we have a word?

    You're the very man l wanted to see.
    l have a proposition to make to you.

    - Yes.
  • 24:03 - 24:05

  • 24:06 - 24:09
    Allow me to offer my most sincere condolences.

    Thank you.
  • 24:23 - 24:26
    l've attended one or two of these gatherings.
  • 24:27 - 24:31
    Here in Bournemouth they're at the edge
    of what's respectable for those in mourning.
  • 24:31 - 24:33
    l'm sure no-one would take offence.
  • 24:33 - 24:34
    Some would.
  • 24:34 - 24:35
    Some do.
  • 24:35 - 24:38
    Well, mourning is a delicate matter.
  • 24:38 - 24:40
    WOMAN: lntroduce me, lrene.

    l'm pleased to make your acquaintance,
    Mr Forsyte.
  • 24:48 - 24:51
    - The pleasure is all mine, Mrs Heron.
    (Violin strikes up)
  • 24:52 - 24:53
    Better get back.
  • 24:55 - 24:57
    lt's been enchanting, Miss Heron.
  • 25:01 - 25:02

  • 26:29 - 26:32
    Mrs Heron,
    would you object to my walking with you?
  • 26:32 - 26:34
    MRS HERON: lt would be most agreeable.
  • 26:34 - 26:38
    Are you from our part of the world, Mr Forsyte?
  • 26:38 - 26:41
    - From London, Park Lane.
    - ln business?
  • 26:41 - 26:43
    l'm a solicitor, in partnership with my father.
  • 26:44 - 26:46
    This is my first visit to Bournemouth.
  • 26:46 - 26:47
    We hope not your last.
  • 26:48 - 26:51
    l could very well recur.
  • 26:51 - 26:52
    Good.

    l shall walk alone today.
  • 27:29 - 27:31
    Very well.
  • 27:33 - 27:35
    l'm sure you'll miss me violently.

    Oh, dear.
  • 28:46 - 28:51
    But well enough to play the piano,
    rather beautifully, l must admit.
  • 28:51 - 28:54
    - l should very much like to hear her.
    - We must arrange it.
  • 28:54 - 28:58
    Did l express my condolences
    on your sad bereavement, Mrs Heron?
  • 28:58 - 29:00
    l'm sure l understood you to have.
  • 29:02 - 29:05
    lt was rather a shock,
    Professor Heron passing so suddenly
  • 29:05 - 29:07
    and leaving us so little provided for.
  • 29:08 - 29:10
    l have barely fifty pounds a year for lrene,
    for example.
  • 29:11 - 29:15
    For a young woman, l'm sure you will
    appreciate, Mr Forsyte, it's rather...
  • 29:15 - 29:16
    More expensive.
  • 29:16 - 29:19
    Yes. lt must be a concern for you.
  • 29:20 - 29:22
    Mr Forsyte.
  • 29:22 - 29:23
    Yes, Mrs Heron?
  • 29:24 - 29:27
    There is no Mrs Forsyte, l take it.
  • 29:27 - 29:29
    No, Mrs Heron.
  • 29:31 - 29:35
    There is to be an exhibition of paintings
    tomorrow at the Pavilion.
  • 29:36 - 29:39
    lrene and l will be attending
    at ten o'clock in the morning.
  • 29:57 - 29:59
    Are you fond of art, Mr Forsyte?
  • 29:59 - 30:00
    Mm, in its place.
  • 30:00 - 30:02
    And what is its place?
  • 30:04 - 30:06
    Well, in museums, of course.
  • 30:06 - 30:09
    And it can look well in one's drawing room,
    tastefully hung.
  • 30:09 - 30:11
    l think its place is everywhere.
  • 30:25 - 30:28
    SOAMES:
    Do you admire this painting, Miss Heron?
  • 30:30 - 30:32
    l do.
  • 30:32 - 30:34
    You don't find it rather modern?
  • 30:35 - 30:38
    lt has vigour and honesty.
  • 30:40 - 30:43
    But is it accomplished...as a work of art?
  • 30:43 - 30:46
    lf you mean, is it strictly representational,
    then clearly not.
  • 30:46 - 30:51
    But look at the life in the trees
    and the vibrant colour.
  • 30:51 - 30:54
    There is such a strong sense of the artist in it,
    don't you think?
  • 30:54 - 30:59
    l believe that whoever painted it
    has a passionate feel for beauty.
  • 31:00 - 31:02
    Yes, yes, and for life.
  • 31:05 - 31:08
    Would it look well in one's hallway, for example?
  • 31:10 - 31:12
    (Laughs)
  • 31:12 - 31:17
    l suspect that the majority of hallways
    would entirely disgrace it.

  • 31:30 - 31:33
    MRS HERON: l know a great deal about him.
    l've made enquiries.
  • 31:35 - 31:37
    (Whispers) Clearly we're not suited.
  • 31:40 - 31:41
    lt's been a pleasure.
  • 31:41 - 31:43
    Mrs Heron.
  • 31:43 - 31:45
    Miss Heron. Alas, London calls.
  • 31:46 - 31:47
    We are so sorry.
  • 31:47 - 31:50
    But l shall be returning
    to Bournemouth next week.
  • 31:50 - 31:54
    MRS HERON: Perhaps you will do us
    the honour of calling?
  • 31:55 - 31:56
    Miss Heron?
  • 31:58 - 32:00
    Mr Forsyte.
  • 32:08 - 32:09
    Oh, by the way...
  • 32:09 - 32:12
    that landscape you admired...
  • 32:12 - 32:14
    l've bought it.
  • 32:17 - 32:20
    For your hallway, Mr Forsyte?
  • 32:24 - 32:26
    Well, until next week.
  • 32:33 - 32:35
    MRS HERON:
    Your father left us fifty pounds a year.
  • 32:35 - 32:37
    Do you know how much
    these mourning clothes cost?
  • 32:37 - 32:41
    And that's before we even start
    to think about living.
  • 32:43 - 32:46
    What people do at times like this
    is remove to a larger house.
  • 32:46 - 32:49
    - Do we need a larger house?
    - l would like to own somewhere.
  • 32:49 - 32:51
    l'm happy to rent.
  • 32:51 - 32:53
    For you and the children, Helene.
  • 32:53 - 32:55
    lf something happened to me,
    you'd all be provided for.
  • 32:55 - 32:57
    We can't afford to buy.
  • 32:59 - 33:02
    Don't worry, Jo.
    As long as you don't let anything happen to you.
  • 33:02 - 33:04
    Those implacable Forsytes!
  • 33:06 - 33:08
    My father has never even seen his grandson.
  • 33:10 - 33:12
    He'll probably never see this one.
  • 33:15 - 33:17
    (Wolf whistle)
  • 33:23 - 33:25
    Yes, we do need to move.
  • 33:29 - 33:31
    lt's quite clear, you see.
  • 33:31 - 33:35
    Your grandfather's will states
    that the interest shall be paid to you quarterly,
  • 33:35 - 33:38
    but that the capital must remain intact.
  • 33:38 - 33:42
    lt also states the capital can be touched
    in an appropriate circumstance.
  • 33:42 - 33:44
    This is such a circumstance.
  • 33:44 - 33:47
    l'm about to have a second child
    and we need a larger home.
  • 33:47 - 33:49
    Well, this you say.
  • 33:49 - 33:53
    Well, forgive me, l can think of no more
    appropriate circumstance
  • 33:53 - 33:55
    than the need for a house.
  • 33:55 - 33:56
    For that woman.
  • 33:58 - 34:01
    For Helene, and our children.
  • 34:01 - 34:03
    Quite, and this is where there is a problem
  • 34:03 - 34:06
    because the will is clear that
    such a circumstance would be decided
  • 34:06 - 34:08
    at the discretion of the trustees,
  • 34:08 - 34:13
    the trustees being Mr Septimus Small,
    deceased, and my father.
  • 34:13 - 34:17
    Discretion, as you'll appreciate,
    involves rather more than expedience.
  • 34:19 - 34:20
    lt involves conscience.
  • 34:22 - 34:25
    And uniquely in this case,
    the good name of our family.
  • 34:26 - 34:30
    Do l take it there is a moral
    dimension to this discussion?
  • 34:30 - 34:32
    You'll be paid quarterly instalments
    as we discussed.
  • 34:32 - 34:34
    You need have no fear on that matter.
  • 34:42 - 34:45
    Good day to you, Forsyte.
  • 34:45 - 34:47
    And to you, Forsyte.
  • 34:49 - 34:51
    Are you still doing your sketching?
  • 34:51 - 34:54

  • 37:48 - 37:50
    Yes.
  • 37:50 - 37:52

    lRENE: l'm not sure l have a preference.
  • 39:39 - 39:41

    - Yes, Soames.
  • 39:43 - 39:45
    Yes, Aunt.
  • 39:45 - 39:47
    Mind, there's whiskers and whiskers.
  • 39:47 - 39:49
    You'll appreciate the benefit.

    - Mm, they tickle.
  • 39:53 - 39:55
    l'm not sure l should like them to tickle.
  • 39:55 - 39:58
    But, my dear, you see, it's where they tickle.

    She's heavenly.
  • 40:13 - 40:17
    So lovely. Jolyon? Don't you think?
  • 40:17 - 40:19
    Too lovely for Soames.
  • 40:19 - 40:22
    We're told that she has no money.
    That need not be an obstacle.
  • 40:22 - 40:27
    My impression is that Mr Forsyte
    has no sense of an obstacle, quite the reverse.
  • 40:28 - 40:30
    l wish you'd look at these oil shares.
  • 40:30 - 40:32
    She's a fetching little thing.

    - l'm thinking Cape Copper.
    - l'm not interested in shares.

    why Soames has not proposed to her.

    Now, the doctor said you must stay in bed.
  • 63:40 - 63:42
    Nonsense.
  • 63:43 - 63:48
    There is to be a reception
    for Miss June's young man at Mr Jolyon's house.
  • 63:48 - 63:51
    - You're not strong enough.
    - And l shall attend.
  • 63:51 - 63:54
    - You're not strong enough, Miss Ann.
    - l shall attend.
  • 63:59 - 64:01
    Very well, Miss Ann.
  • 64:01 - 64:03
    But, Smither...
  • 64:05 - 64:07
    l shall need your arm.
  • 64:09 - 64:12
    That's the way. Up.
  • 64:12 - 64:13
    Up!
  • 64:13 - 64:16
    lt's perfectly splendid. You're so clever, Phil.
  • 64:16 - 64:19
    Oh, it's the most marvellous kite.
  • 64:19 - 64:22
    Robust, aesthetic, a triumph of design.
  • 64:24 - 64:27
    Come, June. When it climbs higher,
    you must have a turn.
  • 64:39 - 64:41
    Oh, what a shame!
  • 64:47 - 64:48
    Well, so much for robust.
  • 64:48 - 64:50
    Oh, you poor thing, Phil.
  • 64:50 - 64:53
    Hours of preparation
    for just one moment's delight.
  • 64:54 - 64:56
    A metaphor for love.
  • 64:56 - 64:58
    Nonsense!
  • 65:03 - 65:05
    SOAMES: That must be the architect.
  • 65:05 - 65:06
    What on earth's he wearing?
  • 65:07 - 65:09
    - lt's a hat.
    - Yes, l can see it's a hat.
  • 65:10 - 65:11
    You're here. How splendid!
  • 65:11 - 65:14
    Oh, l so wanted you to meet Phil.
  • 65:14 - 65:16
    Philip Bosinney, lrene Forsythe.
  • 65:16 - 65:19
    Very pleased to make your acquaintance,
    Mr Bosinney.
  • 65:19 - 65:21
    - Pleasure to meet you.
    - lrene is my greatest chum.
  • 65:21 - 65:23
    Please be good friends, you two.
  • 65:23 - 65:25
    PHlL: Oh, l'm sure we will.
  • 65:25 - 65:29
    She's beautiful, isn't she, Phil? Didn't l tell you?
  • 65:29 - 65:32
    Yes, yes, she is.
  • 65:32 - 65:34
    Architecture. lt's an admirable profession.
  • 65:35 - 65:37
    l don't heal the sick or clothe the naked.
  • 65:37 - 65:40
    No, but beauty and proportion -
    these are vital concerns.
  • 65:40 - 65:45
    So, you'd let a man with no money
    into the family?
  • 65:45 - 65:47
    No, l wouldn't. Till he's got some.
  • 65:48 - 65:51
    Not like you let in Dartie.
  • 65:51 - 65:52
    Or Soames's wife.
  • 65:52 - 65:56
    Uncle James, allow me to introduce my fiance.
  • 65:56 - 65:58
    Mr Phillip Bosinney, Mr James Forsyte.
  • 65:58 - 66:01
    - How do you do, sir?
    - Very well.
  • 66:01 - 66:03
    Phil's the most marvellous architect,
    Uncle James.
  • 66:03 - 66:06
    You should build.
    He'd draw you wonderful plans.
  • 66:06 - 66:10
    Good gracious, building?
    What am l supposed to build?
  • 66:11 - 66:13
    What are you doing? The poor old chap.
  • 66:13 - 66:16
    - We need four hundred a year.
    - But we can't expect it today.
  • 66:16 - 66:18
    Yes, but what fun to frighten the uncles.
  • 66:18 - 66:21
    Bumpy-looking beggar,
    but it can't come to anything.
  • 66:21 - 66:25
    - Hasn't a bean, l'm told.
    - l'll wager he wants it to.
  • 66:25 - 66:29
    With young Jolyon off the stage,
    June's looking at a cool hundred thou.
  • 66:29 - 66:32
    - So enter the buccaneer.
    - Buccaneer!
  • 66:32 - 66:35
    - George, really!
    - Well, l would. Wouldn't you?
  • 66:35 - 66:37
    No, thank you.
  • 66:37 - 66:38
    l probably would.
  • 66:38 - 66:40
    No probably about it. You did.
  • 66:40 - 66:42
    (Laughs)
  • 66:43 - 66:45
    George, that is unspeakable.
  • 66:45 - 66:48
    - l'm sorry, old girl.
    - lt's unspeakable, yes.
  • 66:48 - 66:50
    Unspeakable.
  • 66:50 - 66:53
    Mind you, that's amusing - buccaneer! l like that.
  • 66:53 - 66:55
    Ann, what are you doing out of bed?
  • 66:55 - 66:59
    - Oh, you must sit there.
    - You're not strong enough.
  • 66:59 - 67:01
    Fetch her another blanket.
  • 67:02 - 67:06
    - You're not supposed to come.
    - Oh, don't fuss about that.
  • 67:06 - 67:08
    - Oh, dear, dear, dear.
    - Keep warm, Ann.
  • 67:08 - 67:10
    Can you hear me?
  • 67:10 - 67:13
    Of course l can hear you. You're shouting.
  • 67:13 - 67:16
    Well done, Ann. Life in you yet, eh? Ha ha!
  • 67:16 - 67:19
    - This is Mr Bosinney, Aunt Ann.
    - How do you do, Miss Forsyte?
  • 67:19 - 67:23
    Here, wrap this round you. lt'll be a comfort.
  • 67:23 - 67:27
    You must keep warm.
    You're a good-looking young fellow.
  • 67:27 - 67:31
    But l doubt whether you're the right lover
    for dear June.
  • 67:32 - 67:34
    - Where is Soames?
    - Aunt Ann!
  • 67:35 - 67:37
    SOAMES: l'm here, Aunt Ann.
  • 67:37 - 67:40
    Well, if she feels l'm not right for you,
    we shall have to call it off.
  • 67:40 - 67:42
    JUNE: We are not calling it off.
  • 67:42 - 67:44
    Dear Soames.
  • 67:45 - 67:47
    Well, what do you think of him?
  • 67:47 - 67:50
    June, l couldn't possibly say in his hearing.
  • 67:51 - 67:53
    - Well?
    - He's quite splendid.
  • 68:00 - 68:05
    You seemed very thick with June today,
    laughing and so forth.
  • 68:05 - 68:07
    You never laugh or smile with me like that.
  • 68:10 - 68:14
    On Tuesday she's going to the Royal Academy
    with Mr Bosinney and invited me.
  • 68:14 - 68:15
    l think not.
  • 68:17 - 68:19
    Are you saying you won't allow it?
  • 68:19 - 68:22
    lf they need a chaperone,
    they can call the aunts.
  • 68:22 - 68:25
    - They don't need to bother you.
    - But l should like to go.
  • 68:25 - 68:26
    Then l'll take you.
  • 68:26 - 68:29
    - l should like to go with June.
    - l said, you're not going.
  • 68:29 - 68:31
    - Are you really going to forbid me?
    - Most certainly.
  • 68:31 - 68:35
    Wives shouldn't mix with young girls like that.
    She's a senseless thing.
  • 69:20 - 69:22
    l thought l might sleep in the Burlington room.
  • 69:22 - 69:24
    SOAMES: What, tonight?
  • 69:24 - 69:26
    Not just tonight.
  • 69:27 - 69:29
    What on earth are you saying?
  • 69:29 - 69:31
    l don't know, really...
  • 69:32 - 69:35
    ..except l don't sleep well as a general rule.
  • 69:38 - 69:40
    You're wanting separate rooms?
  • 69:40 - 69:42
    What about the servants? They'd know.
  • 69:42 - 69:45
    l don't know how you can think of such a thing.
  • 69:47 - 69:53
    But if l am able to sleep, then is it really
    so important that the servants might know?
  • 69:53 - 69:57
    Would know. How does it make me look?
    You know how servants gossip.
  • 70:05 - 70:07
    Because this isn't about sleeping, is it?
  • 70:11 - 70:14
    l sometimes wonder
    what your idea of a wife's duty is.
  • 70:24 - 70:27
    l have decided to sleep in a separate room.
  • 70:34 - 70:38
    Does he...do anything?
  • 70:39 - 70:43
    You mean, such as beat me or drink?
  • 70:45 - 70:47
    No, no. Nothing like that.
  • 70:49 - 70:51
    Does he see other women?
  • 70:53 - 70:55
    Not that l'm aware.
  • 70:56 - 70:58
    Then it's worse.
  • 70:59 - 71:01
    Because if he did,
  • 71:01 - 71:04
    there'd be hope for change,
    but if you simply dislike him...
  • 71:06 - 71:08
    l think one should face the evil.
  • 71:08 - 71:11
    What does that mean?
  • 71:11 - 71:12
    Separation.
  • 71:16 - 71:18
    l have no money.
  • 71:18 - 71:20
    l have no means of obtaining any, and...
  • 71:21 - 71:23
    ..what would l do?
  • 71:27 - 71:30
    You won't say anything, will you, June?
  • 71:30 - 71:32
    Of course l won't.
  • 71:34 - 71:35
    lrene.
  • 71:38 - 71:40
    (Church bells toll)
  • 71:54 - 71:57
    - Morning, Juley.
    - Morning, Emily.
  • 71:57 - 71:58
    No, you can't. Sit here.
  • 71:58 - 72:00
    Oh, sorry.
  • 72:00 - 72:03
    JULEY: Where's James?
    EMlLY: Walking to improve his liver.
  • 72:10 - 72:12
    JULEY: Hester has a headache.
  • 72:12 - 72:14
    EMlLY: A Sunday headache?
  • 72:16 - 72:17
    And Ann?
  • 72:18 - 72:20
    Frail, Emily. Very very frail.
  • 72:22 - 72:23
    We are concerned.
  • 72:32 - 72:34
    EMlLY: lrene looks pale.
  • 72:38 - 72:40
    - She's not...?
    - No.
  • 72:43 - 72:45
    JULEY: Aren't they going to...?
  • 72:45 - 72:48
    Juley...l do not possess that knowledge.
  • 72:50 - 72:52
    Ann is so keen that Soames should have a son.
  • 72:52 - 72:56
    - He should do, no two ways about it.
    - James! Sshh!
  • 72:57 - 73:00
    Though l suppose with separate rooms,
    there isn't much...
  • 73:00 - 73:01
    Julia!
  • 73:02 - 73:05
    JAMES: Separate rooms? lt's too bad.
  • 73:09 - 73:11
    JUNE: They don't even share
    the same bedroom any more.
  • 73:11 - 73:14
    You mustn't say a word.
    You must not say a word.
  • 73:14 - 73:15
    Of course l won't.
  • 73:16 - 73:18
    You haven't.
  • 73:19 - 73:21
    Aunt Hester doesn't gossip.
  • 73:31 - 73:33
    l won't say a word.
  • 73:44 - 73:46
    l'll never say a word.
  • 74:00 - 74:04
    �� Life is a dance we must learn
  • 74:04 - 74:08
    �� lnto the night we will turn
  • 74:08 - 74:13
    �� Time holds the secrets of our song
  • 74:13 - 74:17
    �� Moments are given then gone
  • 74:17 - 74:21
    �� Come have this dance with me, darling
  • 74:21 - 74:25
    �� l'll hold you tight till the dawn
  • 74:25 - 74:30
    �� Let the night see how l love you

    �� So the moon can tell the sun

    MAN: ''Man that is born of a woman
    hath but a short time to live.
  • 75:48 - 75:51
    He cometh up and is cut down like a flower.
  • 75:51 - 75:57
    He fleeth as it were a shadow,
    and never continueth in one stay.
  • 75:57 - 76:01
    ln the midst of life we are in death.
  • 76:01 - 76:06
    Of whom may we seek for succour,
    but of thee, O Lord?
  • 76:06 - 76:09
    Before our sins art justly displeased.
  • 76:10 - 76:12
    Yet, O Lord God most holy,
  • 76:12 - 76:14
    O Lord most mighty,
  • 76:14 - 76:18
    O holy and most merciful saviour,
  • 76:18 - 76:22
    deliver us not into
    the bitter pains of eternal death.
  • 76:23 - 76:26
    Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts.
  • 76:26 - 76:32
    Shut not thy merciful ears to our prayer,
    but spare us, Lord most holy.
  • 76:32 - 76:34
    Oh, God, most mighty,
  • 76:34 - 76:37
    Oh, holy and merciful saviour,
  • 76:37 - 76:41
    thou most worthy judge eternal.
  • 76:41 - 76:46
    Suffer us not at our last hour
    for any pains of death.

    (Laughs)
  • 77:01 - 77:03
    Oh, l'm so sorry.
  • 77:09 - 77:13
    l say, you couldn't erm...spare a spot of finance,
    old boy?
  • 77:13 - 77:16
    - How much?
    - Oh, a monkey.
  • 77:16 - 77:18
    (Laughs) lt's not possible, Dartie.
  • 77:18 - 77:20
    1 00? No?
  • 77:22 - 77:24
    A pony?
  • 77:24 - 77:26
    - A tenner?
    - Not with your luck, Monty.
  • 77:26 - 77:28
    SOAMES: Bosinney!
  • 77:28 - 77:32
    lf you've nothing better to do on Sunday,
    why don't you come to Robin Hill with me?
  • 77:32 - 77:34
    l want your opinion on a building site.
  • 77:34 - 77:35
    Are you going to build?
  • 77:35 - 77:38
    Perhaps, but don't speak of it.
    l just want your opinion.
  • 77:38 - 77:40
    lt's my wife, you see.
  • 77:40 - 77:42
    London doesn't agree with her.
  • 77:42 - 77:45
    l think a place in the country
    might be just what she needs.
  • 77:53 - 77:55
    Don't tell my wife, will you?
  • 77:57 - 77:59
    l want it to be a surprise.
  • 78:01 - 78:03
    l know somebody who's had
    a place built with a tower.
  • 78:04 - 78:06
    That's what l want, something like that.
  • 78:06 - 78:08
    Why a tower?
  • 78:08 - 78:10
    Because it makes it unique.
  • 78:10 - 78:12
    lt's not like Ann...
  • 78:13 - 78:15
    ..dying.
  • 78:15 - 78:17
    Well, if Ann can go,
  • 78:17 - 78:19
    what's to stop any of us?
  • 78:20 - 78:22
    So glad you were able to join us, cousin.
  • 78:22 - 78:24
    - This a new line for you, Soames.
    - What?
  • 78:24 - 78:26
    An undertaking. Do you find it pays?
  • 78:26 - 78:28
    - We'll miss her dreadfully.
    - Oh, Juley.
  • 78:28 - 78:32
    That waistcoat - bad fashion or bad manners?
  • 78:32 - 78:36
    - Hello, Soames.
    - l'm so glad you were able to be here.
  • 78:36 - 78:38
    Phil, it's good to see you.
  • 78:38 - 78:40
    And you, my angel. You look lovely.
  • 78:40 - 78:42
    Dashing.
  • 78:42 - 78:44
    ls lrene quite well?
  • 78:44 - 78:45
    Why?
  • 78:45 - 78:47
    She's pale, Soames.
  • 78:47 - 78:48
    Tired-looking.
  • 78:49 - 78:51
    l wondered if she's becoming melancholic.
  • 78:51 - 78:53
    Who's next? Me, l shouldn't wonder.
  • 78:53 - 78:55
    l don't know what she is, or what she wants.
  • 78:55 - 78:58
    The only time she ever smiles
    is when she's with June.
  • 78:59 - 79:01
    Flibbertigibbet.
  • 79:01 - 79:03
    He's here, at last.
  • 79:03 - 79:06
    Well, say hello, you two.
  • 79:06 - 79:08
    Nice to see you again, Mr Bosinney.
  • 79:08 - 79:10
    And you too, Mrs Forsyte.
  • 79:10 - 79:12
    And his waistcoat?
  • 79:12 - 79:15
    The Forsytes all think he's a wild subversive,
  • 79:15 - 79:18
    but the fact is, he can't afford a black one,
    poor dear.
  • 79:18 - 79:20
    (Laughs)
  • 79:20 - 79:24
    l apologise.
    lntrusion into grief, not part of the family.
  • 79:24 - 79:28
    No, not until he's on ��400 a year, then l'm his.
  • 79:28 - 79:29
    lsn't it romantic?
  • 79:29 - 79:31
    Like a sack of turnips, sold as seen.
  • 79:33 - 79:35
    JULEY: lsn't Soames wonderful?
  • 79:35 - 79:38
    lf we needed invitations sending, it was Soames.
  • 79:38 - 79:41
    The cemetery arrangements, Soames again.
  • 79:41 - 79:43
    We relied on him for everything.
  • 79:43 - 79:45
    Uncle Jolyon?
  • 79:47 - 79:49
    l'm so sorry about Aunt Ann.
  • 79:50 - 79:52
    lt's a milestone.
  • 79:52 - 79:54
    Thank you, my dear.
  • 79:54 - 79:57
    l'm so glad you were able to join us,
    Uncle Jolyon.
  • 79:57 - 79:59
    Why the devil wouldn't l?
  • 79:59 - 80:01
    She's my sister.
  • 80:01 - 80:05
    Your boy won't know Ann's dead,
    l suppose, hm?
  • 80:05 - 80:07
    Young Jolyon.
  • 80:07 - 80:09
    No.
  • 80:09 - 80:12
    They tell me he married that woman.
  • 80:12 - 80:14
    When Frances died?
  • 80:14 - 80:16
    Yes. Bad form.
  • 80:16 - 80:18
    Why was it?
  • 80:18 - 80:20
    (Clears throat) Governess, and so forth.
  • 80:20 - 80:22
    lt's a long time ago.
  • 80:23 - 80:26
    You did the right thing, cutting him off.
  • 80:26 - 80:28
    Who says l did?
  • 80:28 - 80:30
    People.
  • 80:30 - 80:32
    Well, damn the people!
  • 80:32 - 80:34
    Really.
  • 80:35 - 80:38
    People can mind their own damn business!
  • 80:39 - 80:41
    Thank you for coming, Winifred. Well done.
  • 80:42 - 80:46
    Oh, don't, Soames.
    Anyone would think it was your funeral.
  • 80:46 - 80:49
    NEWSPAPER BO Y:

  • 80:58 - 81:00
    MAN: Good evening, sir.
    - Evening.
  • 81:00 - 81:03
    He left a message saying he'd care
    to meet you at the theatre.
  • 81:03 - 81:05
    Ah, theatre. Thank you.
  • 81:05 - 81:07
    ls Mr Jolyon Forsyte still a member here?
  • 81:07 - 81:09
    He's at the club now, sir. What name?
  • 81:10 - 81:13
    lt's his father. Here he is now, sir.
  • 81:13 - 81:16
    A minute later,
    you would have missed each other.
  • 81:30 - 81:32
    Hello, Dad.
  • 81:52 - 81:54
    What's June like now?
  • 81:54 - 81:58
    They say she's like me, but that's their folly.
    She's more like her mother.
  • 81:58 - 82:02
    She's engaged to be married.
    He's an architect. Hasn't a bean.
  • 82:02 - 82:03
    Good evening, sir.
  • 82:03 - 82:05
    Good evening.
  • 82:05 - 82:06
    Good evening, Parfitt.
  • 82:08 - 82:10
    Mister Jolyon, sir.
  • 82:11 - 82:13
    lt's been a long time, hasn't it?
  • 82:13 - 82:15
    Yes, it has.
  • 82:15 - 82:17
    Very good to see you again, sir.
  • 82:17 - 82:19
    OLD JOLYON: That'll do, Parfitt. That'll do.
  • 82:19 - 82:21
    Very good, sir.
  • 82:21 - 82:23
    l suppose you're in debt.
  • 82:23 - 82:26
    No, l'm not in debt.
  • 82:26 - 82:27
    Shoo!
  • 82:27 - 82:30
    She's got fleas. Ha ha!
  • 82:30 - 82:32
    - Tea?
    - Thank you.
  • 82:32 - 82:34
    Your wife, is she well?
  • 82:34 - 82:36
    Yes. Thank you for asking.
  • 82:36 - 82:38
    l hope you remember me to her.
  • 82:40 - 82:42
    We buried your Aunt Ann last week.
  • 82:42 - 82:44
    Oh, l'm so sorry.
  • 82:46 - 82:48
    l was terribly fond of her.
  • 82:48 - 82:50
    l should have let you know, shouldn't l?
  • 82:50 - 82:52
    Yes.
  • 82:53 - 82:56
    l regret our estrangement.
  • 82:57 - 83:01
    lt was a wretched business,
    and you behaved badly.
  • 83:01 - 83:03
    l had no right to pass judgment.
  • 83:03 - 83:07
    Call it society, call it family,
    call it chattering hags and jackanapes,
  • 83:07 - 83:10
    but l was party to it, and l cut you off, Jo.
  • 83:10 - 83:12
    l'm sorry for it.
  • 83:21 - 83:24
    JOLYON: That is... lt's...
  • 83:24 - 83:26
    Most generous, Dad.
  • 83:26 - 83:28
    Oh, well.
  • 83:31 - 83:32
    But thank you.
  • 83:32 - 83:34
    Oh, please.
  • 83:34 - 83:36
    No, l can't.
  • 83:39 - 83:43
    We have two children now, Jolyon and Holly.
  • 83:43 - 83:45
    lf you should think fit to invest it for them...
  • 83:45 - 83:47
    l'll be very glad.
  • 83:47 - 83:50
    Property is going up in leaps and bounds.
  • 83:52 - 83:55
    The question is,
    what am l going to do with this place?
  • 83:55 - 83:56
    lt's er...very big.
  • 83:56 - 83:58
    Those are mine, aren't they?
  • 83:58 - 84:00
    OLD JOLYON: Oh!
  • 84:00 - 84:02
    Yes, yes. l bought several.
  • 84:04 - 84:05
    They're poor things, Jo.
  • 84:06 - 84:08
    l wouldn't hang them where they're seen.
  • 84:24 - 84:26
    - Oh, Clara!
    - Yes, Mrs Dartie?
  • 84:29 - 84:31
    Some tea in the drawing room, please.
    l shall be down in a moment.
  • 84:42 - 84:44
    Monty!
  • 84:44 - 84:45
    Freddie.
  • 84:45 - 84:47
    Those are my pearls.
  • 84:47 - 84:49
    You look like a burglar.
  • 84:49 - 84:51
    (Laughs uneasily)
  • 84:51 - 84:53
    What are you doing?
  • 84:54 - 84:56
    Just having a look, old thing.
  • 84:56 - 84:58
    Are you sentimental, Monty?
  • 85:00 - 85:03
    You were remembering buying them for me,
    weren't you?
  • 85:03 - 85:05
    The day lmmie was born.
  • 85:07 - 85:11
    You know, l shall always, always treasure them.
  • 85:20 - 85:24
    lt really is a peach of a spot.
    The most wonderful views - woods, peace.
  • 85:24 - 85:26
    And in Soames' eye, a light, in spite of himself.
  • 85:26 - 85:28
    - Good morning, Parfitt.
    - Good morning, Miss June.
  • 85:28 - 85:30
    - What's the fee?
    - A shade worldly, dear girl.
  • 85:30 - 85:33
    - ��400?
    - Not far off. l can make it up.
  • 85:33 - 85:35
    Oh, Phil! We can marry!
  • 85:35 - 85:37
    We can.
  • 85:38 - 85:39
    Why would Soames not tell his wife?
  • 85:39 - 85:42
    - Hasn't he?
    - lt's to be a surprise.
  • 85:42 - 85:43
    Then that's why.
  • 85:43 - 85:45
    - Would you like that?
    - Of course!
  • 85:45 - 85:48
    One day l spring it on you
    we're going to live in the country?
  • 85:48 - 85:50
    - lf it's as nice as you say.
    - Oh, it is, very.
  • 85:50 - 85:55
    What splendour. A country place for
    lrene and a spring wedding for us.
  • 85:56 - 85:58
    Thank you, thank you, Cousin Soames!
  • 86:00 - 86:02
    PHlL: What about lrene, kept in ignorance?
  • 86:03 - 86:05
    We tell her.
  • 86:05 - 86:07
    l said l wouldn't.
  • 86:07 - 86:09
    Did you say l wouldn't?
  • 86:13 - 86:14
    l hate working Saturdays.
  • 86:14 - 86:18
    So do l. Did you hear about that geezer
    we repossessed last week?
  • 86:18 - 86:19
    l heard he topped himself.
  • 86:20 - 86:21
    No, they do that, some of them.
  • 86:23 - 86:26
    - Mr Montague Dartie at home?
    - He's not in, sir.
  • 86:26 - 86:28
    Excuse me, sir, where are you going?
    Excuse me, sir!
  • 86:28 - 86:30
    - Morning, ma'am.
    - And a very good one, too.
  • 86:30 - 86:32
    - Who are they?
    - The drawing room.
  • 86:32 - 86:34
    l don't know. l have no idea.
  • 86:34 - 86:37
    - l think the chiffonier, the clock, the desk...
    - Why are you here?
  • 86:37 - 86:40
    - The candlesticks.
    - What on Earth are you doing?
  • 86:40 - 86:42
    Portrait or landscape? What do you think?
  • 86:42 - 86:44
    Portrait.
  • 86:44 - 86:46
    Excuse me,
    do you mind telling me who you are?
  • 86:46 - 86:49
    They just walked in when l answered the door.
    Not a by-your-leave.
  • 86:49 - 86:52
    - Pendicoot, ma'am.
    - And Thripp, ma'am. Bailiffs.
  • 86:52 - 86:56
    We have powers of distraint.
    Goods to the value of 1 00 guineas, ma'am.
  • 86:56 - 86:57
    - The portrait it is.
    - And the rug.
  • 86:57 - 87:01
    No! You've made a mistake. Would you please
    leave, before l summon the police?
  • 87:01 - 87:03
    No, mistake, ma'am.
  • 87:03 - 87:05
    This is 1 7 Green Street, Mayfair.
  • 87:05 - 87:08
    You're Mrs Winifred Dartie,
    wife of Montague Dartie.
  • 87:08 - 87:14
    And he's in debt to the tune of 1 00 guineas,
    and - as they say - totting up.
  • 87:14 - 87:16
    ls the dining room this way?
  • 87:16 - 87:21
    He stands this high,
    looks Warmson straight in the eye,
  • 87:21 - 87:22
    and do you know what he says?
  • 87:22 - 87:24
    ''Fetch my coat.''
  • 87:24 - 87:25
    Little Val.
  • 87:25 - 87:28
    Just like that. ''Fetch my coat.''
  • 87:28 - 87:30
    Capital.
  • 87:30 - 87:31
    Talk about lord and master.
  • 87:31 - 87:33
    EMlLY: Oh, that comes from Winifred.
  • 87:33 - 87:37
    Your sister has natural authority.
    ''Fetch my coat.''
  • 87:37 - 87:42
    Why have you employed that strange Bosinney?
  • 87:42 - 87:45
    l mean,
    why didn't you choose a proper architect?
  • 87:45 - 87:47
    l believe he is proper.
  • 87:48 - 87:50
    And as he needs the work, he'll be malleable.
  • 87:50 - 87:52
    Ah!
  • 87:52 - 87:53
    He'll dance to your tune.
  • 87:54 - 87:55
    His wedding depends on it.
  • 87:55 - 87:57
    EMlLY: Why build at all?
  • 87:57 - 88:00
    And why leave London, and all of us?
  • 88:00 - 88:02
    London's not good for lrene.
  • 88:02 - 88:03
    EMlLY: Oh?
  • 88:03 - 88:05
    People influence her.
  • 88:05 - 88:07
    But the country, Soames.
  • 88:07 - 88:09
    The country!
  • 88:09 - 88:11
    How does lrene feel?
  • 88:11 - 88:12
    She'll enjoy it.
  • 88:13 - 88:14
    Has she said so?
  • 88:14 - 88:16
    Not exactly.
  • 88:18 - 88:20
    l haven't yet told her.
  • 88:20 - 88:22
    But she's artistic.
  • 88:22 - 88:25
    She'll enjoy messing about with the decorations
    and...
  • 88:25 - 88:27
    so on and...
  • 88:29 - 88:32
    And will that stop her
    asking for a separate room?
  • 88:35 - 88:38
    (Knocking)
    - EMlLY: Yes, Warmson?
  • 88:38 - 88:42
    Mr James is asked for, madam, at Mrs Dartie's.
  • 89:06 - 89:07
    Oh, hello, Winnie, dear.
  • 89:07 - 89:09
    You're too late, Daddy.
  • 89:09 - 89:12
    For what? This room seems bare.
    Didn't there used to be a sofa?
  • 89:12 - 89:14
    Bailiffs have been.
  • 89:16 - 89:18
    You said bailiffs?
  • 89:18 - 89:20
    Mm.
  • 89:20 - 89:22
    ln a house of mine?
  • 89:25 - 89:27
    Pendicoot & Thripp.
  • 89:28 - 89:30
    ln a house of mine?
  • 89:30 - 89:32
    l'm so sorry, Daddy.
  • 89:32 - 89:34
    Beggars.
  • 89:34 - 89:36
    The beggars!
  • 89:37 - 89:38
    lt's you, isn't it?
  • 89:38 - 89:40
    Your doing.
  • 89:40 - 89:41
    So...
  • 89:43 - 89:44
    What's all this?
  • 89:44 - 89:45
    You know.
  • 89:45 - 89:47
    Are we decorating?
  • 89:47 - 89:50
    You owe money, sir!
    And you've had the bailiffs in!
  • 89:50 - 89:52
    To a house in my name!
  • 89:52 - 89:54
    Er, yes. l can explain that.
  • 89:54 - 89:57
    lt's the pearls, isn't it, Monty?
    You hadn't paid for them, had you?
  • 89:58 - 89:59
    What's this about pearls?
  • 89:59 - 90:02
    A gift for Winifred, sir.
    A token of my love and esteem.
  • 90:02 - 90:03
    Empty token.
  • 90:03 - 90:05
    Freddie, it's the damnedest luck.
  • 90:05 - 90:10
    Pendicoot & Thripp, in a house of mine!
  • 90:10 - 90:13
    They are the very worst
    of cold-hearted blackguards!
  • 90:13 - 90:15
    l use them all the time.
  • 90:15 - 90:18
    My coat, Clara. l'm leaving!
  • 90:19 - 90:20
    CLARA: Right away, sir.
  • 90:20 - 90:22
    You wouldn't believe the luck, old girl.
  • 90:24 - 90:27
    The pearls were ��1 00.
  • 90:27 - 90:31
    l had it all, bar ��60 or so. l had months to pay.
  • 90:31 - 90:33
    Anyway, a chap comes to me.
  • 90:34 - 90:36
    Not just a chap, Freddie, a trainer.
  • 90:36 - 90:39
    Gives me a dead cert for the Hertfordshire Cup.
  • 90:39 - 90:41
    - Oh, Monty!
    - But it was, Freddie!
  • 90:41 - 90:42
    Then why didn't it win?
  • 90:43 - 90:44
    Because it didn't start!
  • 90:44 - 90:46
    (Sighs)
  • 90:46 - 90:48
    MONTY: lt's the devil's own luck.
  • 90:48 - 90:51
    l mean, one gets a tip
    from a trainer, Freddie, and...
  • 90:51 - 90:54
    Well, who wouldn't?
  • 90:54 - 90:56
    lt's not good enough, Monty.
  • 90:58 - 91:00
    Freddie mustn't blame Monty.
  • 91:00 - 91:02
    l do blame you!
  • 91:02 - 91:04
    For so many things.
  • 91:04 - 91:06
    l've...
  • 91:06 - 91:08
    l realise now, l cannot trust you.
  • 91:08 - 91:10
    Old thing!
  • 91:10 - 91:12
    You are feckless and irresponsible!
  • 91:13 - 91:15
    And all our lovely things.
  • 91:17 - 91:19
    ls the old man going to be sticky?
  • 91:22 - 91:24
    He'll bail you out.
  • 91:41 - 91:43
    lt's a beautiful day.
  • 91:46 - 91:48
    Oh, look, Phil!
  • 91:50 - 91:52
    June, careful.
  • 91:55 - 91:57
    Soames is a brick!
  • 91:57 - 91:59
    lt's splendid for Phil,
  • 91:59 - 92:01
    the very thing for him.
  • 92:01 - 92:03
    Good day, Mrs Forsyte.
  • 92:03 - 92:05
    Good day. What are you talking about?
  • 92:05 - 92:07
    Your new house.
  • 92:07 - 92:09
    - They were there on Sunday, Soames and Phil.
    - Where?
  • 92:10 - 92:13
    At Robin Hill.
    lt's to be a wonderful house in the country.
  • 92:13 - 92:14
    - Country?
    - Yes.
  • 92:14 - 92:17
    And Phil has a free hand,
    right down to the decorations.
  • 92:17 - 92:19
    lsn't it marvellous news?
  • 92:19 - 92:23
    His fee will persuade Gran and we can marry.
  • 92:24 - 92:26
    Oh, l see.
  • 92:26 - 92:29
    That's wonderful.
  • 92:29 - 92:31
    l'm most pleased for you both.
  • 92:32 - 92:34
    Would you please excuse me?
  • 92:34 - 92:36
    l have an appointment to keep.
  • 92:40 - 92:42
    - What have you done?
    - She had a right to know.
  • 92:42 - 92:44
    - Didn't you see?
    - What?
  • 92:44 - 92:46
    Her look of betrayal. By Soames.
  • 92:53 - 92:55
    l heard something today.
  • 92:59 - 93:00
    From my parents.
  • 93:03 - 93:05
    That you sleep in a separate room.
  • 93:11 - 93:13
    How did they hear that?
  • 93:21 - 93:23
    Well, l'll tell you what l think.
  • 93:23 - 93:25
    l think you told June,
  • 93:25 - 93:28
    and she spread it about,
    and now the whole of London knows.
  • 93:33 - 93:35
    l won't have it.
  • 93:37 - 93:40
    l will not have my marriage
    as the stuff of common gossip.
  • 93:45 - 93:48
    The fact is, you won't be seeing much more
    of June. We're going to live in the country.
  • 93:51 - 93:53
    l knew that already.
  • 93:53 - 93:55
    How?
  • 93:55 - 93:57
    June.
  • 94:02 - 94:04
    Well, what do you think?
  • 94:09 - 94:11
    Does it matter what l think?
  • 94:11 - 94:13
    Of course.
  • 94:13 - 94:17
    You mean, if l don't wish to,
    you'll change your plans?
  • 94:17 - 94:20
    No, but it would make me
    very pleased if you did wish to.
  • 94:22 - 94:24
    Then l am sorry to disappoint you.
  • 94:24 - 94:26
    Why?
  • 94:26 - 94:29
    l don't wish to live in the country.
  • 94:29 - 94:31
    Wait until you see it.
  • 94:31 - 94:33
    l promise you, lrene, it is the most beautiful...
  • 94:33 - 94:38
    Bosinney, even Bosinney thinks it's beautiful,
    and he's artistic, isn't he?
  • 94:40 - 94:42
    What am l to do there?
  • 94:42 - 94:44
    All manner of things. We'll have a garden.
  • 94:46 - 94:51
    You can paint and so forth,
    away from all this London frippery!
  • 94:51 - 94:53
    At least in London there are people.
  • 94:54 - 94:57
    ln the country, l would be entirely alone.
  • 94:57 - 94:59
    Alone at first, maybe.
  • 95:01 - 95:04
    We must hope that one day there'll be children.
  • 95:21 - 95:23
    Excuse me.
  • 95:49 - 95:51
    You will drive me out of my bedroom?
  • 95:51 - 95:53
    This is not your bedroom.
  • 95:55 - 95:57
    You are my wife.
  • 95:59 - 96:02
    There is great pleasure to be had from children.
  • 96:04 - 96:06
    Everybody knows it.
  • 96:06 - 96:08
    Especially for mothers.
  • 96:09 - 96:11
    l do know that.
  • 96:26 - 96:29
    So, my nephew's building in the country, is he?
  • 96:29 - 96:30
    PHlL: Yes, sir.
  • 96:30 - 96:32
    A man of property.
  • 96:33 - 96:35
    That makes you think you have an income, hm?
  • 96:36 - 96:38
    Once the house is built, people will flock.
  • 96:38 - 96:40
    Oh, flock, will they? Ha ha ha.
  • 96:40 - 96:42
    Once they see Phil's work...
  • 96:42 - 96:45
    - They might flock elsewhere.
    (Old Jolyon laughs)
  • 96:45 - 96:50
    l can't guarantee anything, sir,
    except my fee, which is 350 guineas.
  • 96:51 - 96:53
    350, Gran.
  • 96:53 - 96:55
    Well...
  • 96:57 - 96:58
    ..it's a start.
  • 96:59 - 97:01
    Where does it put you now, hm?
  • 97:02 - 97:06
    We want your permission, Gran,
    to start planning our wedding.
  • 97:06 - 97:09
    And first, to think about a date. Don't we, Phil?
  • 97:09 - 97:11
    Yes.
  • 97:11 - 97:15
    lt seems to me, it's always the women
    who are in a rush to marry.
  • 97:15 - 97:18
    What do you say to that, Bosinney?
  • 97:21 - 97:23
    Always the women.
  • 97:24 - 97:27
    Set a date, and l'll say what l think.
  • 97:38 - 97:41
    lf you'd like to go in, sir,
    l'll tell Mr Forsyte you're here.
  • 97:41 - 97:42
    Thank you.
  • 97:44 - 97:46
    Mr Bosinney's in the drawing room, madam.
  • 97:46 - 97:48
    Thank you, Bilson.
  • 98:25 - 98:26
    You've brought the plans?
  • 98:30 - 98:32
    With great reluctance, yes.
  • 98:32 - 98:34
    You merely plan it.
  • 98:34 - 98:36
    lt is l who must live in it.
  • 98:37 - 98:39
    Very well. l renounce his commission.
  • 98:41 - 98:42
    Don't be silly.
  • 98:43 - 98:45
    lf it's not you, it will be someone else.
  • 98:46 - 98:48
    l'd far rather it were you.
  • 98:56 - 99:03
    You once, do you remember, spoke of beauty
    and proportion as an artist's guiding principles?
  • 99:06 - 99:09
    lf it is of any consolation,
    those will be my concerns.
  • 99:10 - 99:12
    Thank you.
  • 99:14 - 99:15
    Beauty...
  • 99:17 - 99:18
    ..and proportion.
  • 99:31 - 99:33
    MAlD:
    Which cuff links will you wear tonight, sir?
  • 99:33 - 99:35
    The pearl ones, Bilson. My father's.
  • 99:41 - 99:43
    Ah. Bosinney, good morning.
  • 99:43 - 99:45
    - Sorry to keep you.
    - Morning, Forsyte.
  • 99:49 - 99:51
    Odd sort of house.
  • 99:52 - 99:55
    l've tried to plan a house with respect for itself.
  • 99:55 - 99:58
    lt's a house with clean lines,
    where the eye can rest.
  • 99:58 - 100:01
    Well, it's certainly original.
  • 100:01 - 100:03
    You know my wife can't stand the cold?
  • 100:03 - 100:10
    Oh, she shan't be cold. Look. Radiators,
    concealed in the panels here, and here.
  • 100:10 - 100:12
    - What's it going to cost?
    - ��8,500.
  • 100:12 - 100:14
    l gave eight as my limit.
  • 100:14 - 100:17
    Well, l'm sorry. lt can't be done for a penny less.
  • 100:17 - 100:19
    lRENE: How are the plans?
  • 100:19 - 100:22
    Well, it's not a conventional house.
  • 100:22 - 100:25
    You wanted unique. You can't have both.
  • 100:26 - 100:29
    lf there were freedom to move and breathe,
  • 100:29 - 100:34
    l think those would be valuable qualities
    in a house.
  • 100:35 - 100:37
    lf there were beauty and proportion.
  • 100:41 - 100:43
    That's exactly why one moves to the country.
  • 100:43 - 100:45
    Room to move.
  • 100:55 - 100:57
    Well...
  • 100:57 - 101:01
    l think we're in agreement, Bosinney.
  • 101:02 - 101:04
    Keep a clear eye on the cost.
  • 101:04 - 101:05
    Unique you will have.
  • 101:08 - 101:10
    l'll get to work.
  • 101:13 - 101:16
    There, you see?
    l told you it would be all right.
  • 101:18 - 101:20
    lt's not all bad news, is it?
  • 101:20 - 101:22
    No.
  • 101:26 - 101:28
    lt was you that said it.
  • 101:29 - 101:31
    A house with proportions, or some such.
  • 101:32 - 101:34
    And that's what you'll get.
  • 101:35 - 101:38
    A most beautiful house
    in a remarkable spot.
  • 101:42 - 101:43
    Unique.
  • 101:44 - 101:47
    And l think you'll rather take to Bosinney.
  • 101:48 - 101:49
    Do you?
  • 101:50 - 101:52
    Yes, he's rather a find of mine.
  • 101:53 - 101:56
    And if he does a halfway decent job,
    it will be good for his career.
  • 101:57 - 101:59
    You should encourage him.
  • 102:04 - 102:06
    Do you think he's good-looking?
  • 102:09 - 102:10
    Yes.
  • 102:12 - 102:14
    Very.
  • 102:16 - 102:18
    (Knocking on door)
  • 102:18 - 102:20
    (Dog barks)
  • 102:25 - 102:27
    (Geese honk)
  • 102:33 - 102:34
    (Children chatter)
  • 102:44 - 102:46
    JOLLY: Come on, Terry.
  • 102:46 - 102:48
    JOLYON: Whoops. Here we go, darling.
  • 102:49 - 102:52
    Put the potatoes in the wheelbarrow.
  • 102:57 - 102:59
    Good girl. ln the wheelbarrow.
  • 103:00 - 103:02
    Jo?
  • 103:05 - 103:07
    JOLLY: Come, Terry. Good boy.
  • 103:14 - 103:16
    Hello, Dad.
  • 103:16 - 103:18
    JOLLY: Terry, come on.
  • 103:28 - 103:30
    My boy.
  • 103:30 - 103:32
    Mr Forsyte.
  • 103:36 - 103:39
    l'm very pleased to see you looking so well,
    my dear.
  • 103:42 - 103:44
    Come and er...sit down.
  • 103:46 - 103:48
    So, this is where you are.
  • 103:50 - 103:52
    This is where we are.
  • 103:53 - 103:55
    l've got a whole camp of lead soldiers.
  • 103:55 - 103:57
    Have you, by Jove?
  • 103:57 - 103:59
    - Do you want to see them?
    - Oh, yes.
  • 103:59 - 104:01
    Yes, l would. Do you want to see this?
  • 104:02 - 104:03
    Blow.
  • 104:06 - 104:07
    Blow.
  • 104:07 - 104:10
    - Now, listen. Ding ding.
    (Watch chimes)
  • 104:10 - 104:13
    (Laughs)
    HOLLY: Listen, Daddy. lt's chiming.
  • 104:13 - 104:15
    (Old Jolyon laughs)
  • 104:18 - 104:20
    OLD JOLYON: Now, watch this, watch this.
  • 104:20 - 104:21
    Darling...
  • 104:26 - 104:28
    Excuse me.
  • 104:35 - 104:36
    Helene.
  • 104:37 - 104:39
    JOLYON: Helene?
  • 104:42 - 104:44
    l'm sure he means well.
  • 104:45 - 104:47
    He cut you off because you fell in love.
  • 104:48 - 104:50
    That was a terrible thing to do.
  • 104:51 - 104:55
    He didn't care if we starved when he still
    had June and wasn't feeling close to death.
  • 104:55 - 104:57
    Helene, Helene.
  • 104:58 - 105:00
    Oh, thank God for your paintings.
  • 105:04 - 105:06
    He bought most of them.
  • 105:09 - 105:13
    Every time l sold one,
    l imagined myself becoming more independent,
  • 105:13 - 105:17
    but it was him.
  • 105:17 - 105:19
    All the time.
  • 105:23 - 105:25
    That isn't good enough.
  • 105:28 - 105:31
    Children, come with me.
  • 105:34 - 105:36
    Come inside and have your tea.
  • 105:36 - 105:38
    On a lease, this house?
  • 105:38 - 105:39
    Yes.
  • 105:40 - 105:43
    l don't like the neighbourhood. A ramshackle lot.
  • 105:43 - 105:46
    Yes, yes. yes. We're a ramshackle lot.
  • 105:50 - 105:53
    My wife is not the thing today.
  • 105:56 - 105:58
    l shouldn't have come here, l suppose, Jo.
  • 106:02 - 106:05
    l'm so lonely.
  • 106:06 - 106:08
    Very, very lonely.
  • 106:13 - 106:15
    Phil is the most extraordinary talent.
  • 106:15 - 106:18
    He is so committed...to the exclusion of all else.
  • 106:18 - 106:21
    Soames says his career will prosper
    through the Robin Hill house.
  • 106:21 - 106:23
    Which l must always remember.
  • 106:23 - 106:29
    And, of course, it means we can marry, but we
    haven't had a chance to even talk about a date.
  • 106:29 - 106:31
    l have a plan.
  • 106:31 - 106:36
    One day next week, we'll arrange for Baynes
    to take us both to Robin Hill.
  • 106:36 - 106:40
    You could see how the house is coming,
    and l see Phil, perhaps surprise him.
  • 106:40 - 106:42
    - l don't wish to go there.
    - Why not?
  • 106:43 - 106:46
    l'm sorry, June. l simply don't.
  • 106:47 - 106:49
    So, l continue to wait?
  • 106:57 - 106:59
    Does he come here much?
  • 107:01 - 107:02
    Not very much.
  • 107:02 - 107:05
    Not to talk about the house?
  • 107:06 - 107:09
    l think, sometimes, with Soames.
  • 107:09 - 107:11
    Then you don't see him?
  • 107:13 - 107:15
    No.
  • 107:15 - 107:17
    Why can't he call once in a while?
  • 107:17 - 107:21
    l do feel for you, June, but this time will pass.
  • 107:23 - 107:25
    But of course it will pass.
  • 107:25 - 107:27
    How trite you are.
  • 107:27 - 107:30
    Are we quarrelling?
  • 107:32 - 107:34
    l don't know why we should be.
  • 107:34 - 107:36
    No.
  • 107:36 - 107:38
    No, nor do l.
  • 107:40 - 107:42
    l think l should be going.
  • 107:51 - 107:53
    Gran!
  • 107:54 - 107:56
    l've just been beastly to lrene.
  • 107:56 - 107:58
    l sent Baynes with a note to make it up.
  • 107:58 - 108:00
    - Lunch, Parfitt?
    - Yes, sir.
  • 108:00 - 108:04
    What was your row about, with lrene?
  • 108:04 - 108:06
    l think it was really about Phil, not her.
  • 108:06 - 108:08
    Not attentive enough, hm?
  • 108:08 - 108:10
    Not his fault.
  • 108:10 - 108:12
    A remarkable house, l hear.
  • 108:12 - 108:15
    Word is, you've picked a man of rare talent.
  • 108:29 - 108:31
    Thank you, Dockwood. This will do.
  • 108:32 - 108:34
    Whoa there!
  • 108:34 - 108:36
    Whoa there, boy.
  • 108:48 - 108:51
    - OK, Dockwood. On.
    DOCKWOOD: Walk on, boy! Walk on.
  • 109:15 - 109:18
    PHlL: l'm not interested in the work being good.
  • 109:18 - 109:20
    lt has to be perfect in every detail.
  • 109:20 - 109:23
    - l want you to get on with it right away!
    MAN: Yes, guv'nor.
  • 109:23 - 109:24
    Someone to see you.
  • 109:36 - 109:38
    Well, what do you think?
  • 109:41 - 109:43
    Hm. lt seems solid enough.
  • 109:47 - 109:49
    But you can feel the mood of it.
  • 109:49 - 109:53
    These rooms will have space and lightness.
  • 109:53 - 109:55
    There's no sense of confinement.
  • 109:56 - 109:58
    One's spirit can live.
  • 109:59 - 110:01
    Which is exactly what she wants, isn't it?
  • 110:01 - 110:04
    Believe me, it's what you'll want when you see it.
  • 110:06 - 110:08
    You find her artistic, don't you?
  • 110:08 - 110:10
    Yes. Yes, l do.
  • 110:12 - 110:14
    Here are the accounts.
  • 110:19 - 110:24
    Well, l don't understand. lt's now ��9,200.
    lt's ��700 more than we said.
  • 110:24 - 110:26
    l've told you a dozen times there'd be extras.
  • 110:26 - 110:27
    JOLYON: l assumed a ��1 0 note.
  • 110:27 - 110:29
    Can ��700 be called an extra?
  • 110:30 - 110:32
    Can l tell you something, Forsyte?
  • 110:33 - 110:37
    You're getting a house
    that isn't to be bettered in the county.
  • 110:37 - 110:39
    But it seems you don't want to pay for it.
  • 110:39 - 110:44
    You want a first-rate man for a fourth-rate fee,
    and that's exactly what you've got.
  • 110:44 - 110:45
    l'm damned if l'll work for you!
  • 110:45 - 110:47
    When l agree a price, it's what l expect to pay!
  • 111:05 - 111:08
    We'll go over the figures,
    and see how the money's gone.
  • 111:14 - 111:17
    You know, in the early evening light,
  • 111:17 - 111:19
    it looks even more beautiful.
  • 111:26 - 111:27
    Yes.
  • 111:46 - 111:49
    - Good evening, Bilson.
    - Good evening, Miss June.
  • 111:49 - 111:51
    Mr Bosinney's here. He's in the garden.
  • 111:51 - 111:55
    Oh, good. l'll just go through.
    Don't hurry Mrs Forsyte.
  • 111:55 - 111:58
    PHlL: lt's really taking shape now.
    You can see what it's going to look like.
  • 111:58 - 112:01
    My own ideas are becoming bricks
    and mortar for the very first time.
  • 112:01 - 112:05
    lRENE: l'm so excited for you, Phil. l really am.
  • 112:05 - 112:09
    PHlL: Soames doesn't understand
    what l'm trying to do, but l know you will.
  • 112:09 - 112:11
    Come down to the house on Sunday.
  • 112:11 - 112:13
    Uncle Swithin is taking me to Richmond Park.
  • 112:13 - 112:15
    Well, that's very near Robin Hill.
  • 112:19 - 112:21
    Were you talking about the house?
  • 112:21 - 112:23
    Yes, yes, we were.
  • 112:23 - 112:26
    l still haven't seen it.
    Shall we all go down on Sunday?
  • 112:27 - 112:29
    Swithin is taking me for a drive on Sunday.
  • 112:29 - 112:31
    You can throw him over.
  • 112:32 - 112:35
    June, l'm not in the habit
    of throwing people over.
  • 112:40 - 112:41
    Shall we go into supper?
  • 112:41 - 112:43
    Yes, yes.
  • 112:47 - 112:48
    Madam.
  • 112:48 - 112:50
    Wasn't it wonderful today?
  • 112:50 - 112:52
    lt was the first day of summer.
  • 112:52 - 112:55
    SERVANT: Madam?
    lRENE: Yes, thank you.
  • 112:55 - 112:57
    Thank you.
  • 112:57 - 113:03
    This is a little Sauternes l picked out for us,
    Bosinney. l think you'll rather enjoy it.
  • 113:03 - 113:05
    lt's a particular favourite of mine.
  • 113:05 - 113:07
    These lilies are wonderful.
  • 113:07 - 113:09
    Yes. Yes, the scent is extraordinary.
  • 113:09 - 113:12
    - This Charlotte looks good.
    - How can you like the scent?
  • 113:12 - 113:16
    EMlLY: Serve Mr Bosinney next.
    - Bilson?
  • 113:16 - 113:19
    Take out the lilies.
  • 113:19 - 113:20
    No, let them stay.
  • 113:23 - 113:25
    - Bilson.
    - Let them stay.
  • 113:38 - 113:40
    Well.
  • 113:51 - 113:52
    Thank you.
  • 113:52 - 113:55
    JUNE: Can we have some water, Bilson?
    BlLSON: Yes, Miss June.
  • 113:59 - 114:02
    There were those women in the park,
    as l came through.
  • 114:02 - 114:04
    What women?
  • 114:04 - 114:05
    JUNE: You know.
  • 114:05 - 114:08
    There seem to be more and more
    of them these days.
  • 114:08 - 114:10
    We don't need to talk about them now.
  • 114:10 - 114:11
    Don't you?
  • 114:13 - 114:16
    - When should one talk of them?
    - Can't see the need to do so at all.
  • 114:16 - 114:18
    - Well, someone should.
    SOAMES: Magistrates.
  • 114:18 - 114:20
    l can't think who else.
  • 114:20 - 114:24
    Oh. Round them up and lock them away, but
    don't, whatever you do, mention them at dinner.
  • 114:32 - 114:35
    - Bosinney, have some brandy.
    - Thank you.
  • 114:35 - 114:38
    - You're drinking nothing, June.
    - No.
  • 114:57 - 114:58
    l think we should leave now.
  • 115:01 - 115:03
    So soon?
  • 115:03 - 115:06
    lt's been most pleasant. Thank you. Come, Phil.
  • 115:06 - 115:09
    PHlL: June, aren't you being rude?
    - Then stay. l'll go alone.
  • 115:09 - 115:11
    lRENE: Please, don't.
  • 115:11 - 115:14
    - Really, l must.
    - Good night.
  • 115:15 - 115:17
    Thank you for dinner.
  • 115:17 - 115:19
    Excuse me.
  • 115:21 - 115:23
    lRENE: Good night.
    - Good night.
  • 115:26 - 115:28
    And good luck.
  • 115:42 - 115:44
    You found me appalling, l suppose?
  • 115:45 - 115:47
    Yes.
  • 115:47 - 115:50
    lt's just that l never see you.
  • 115:50 - 115:52
    l know you're desperately busy, but...
  • 115:53 - 115:55
    We were finally together
    and you only seemed...
  • 115:57 - 115:59
    You seemed never to look at me.
  • 116:01 - 116:04
    l'm sorry, my dear, if that's how it appeared.
  • 116:04 - 116:06
    You hardly seemed to notice me.
  • 116:07 - 116:09
    l was merely being polite.
  • 116:15 - 116:16
    Phil...
  • 116:17 - 116:19
    l want to say something to you.
  • 116:19 - 116:22
    You don't give me a chance
    to be nice to you.
  • 116:22 - 116:24
    You haven't for ages.
  • 116:26 - 116:28
    l want to mean everything to you,
  • 116:29 - 116:32
    and l want to do everything for you.
  • 116:40 - 116:43
    We could,
    if you took me to your rooms on Sunday.
  • 116:50 - 116:54
    Perhaps another day, but not Sunday.
  • 116:54 - 116:56
    - Why not Sunday?
    - l have an engagement.
  • 116:56 - 116:57
    With whom?
  • 116:58 - 117:02
    An engagement which will prevent
    my taking you to my rooms.
  • 117:02 - 117:04
    Work.
  • 117:06 - 117:07
    l'm sorry.
  • 117:33 - 117:35
    Who are you writing to?
  • 117:35 - 117:37
    Uncle Swithin.
  • 117:37 - 117:38
    Why?
  • 117:40 - 117:42
    Because l don't think
    l should go anywhere on Sunday.
  • 117:42 - 117:44
    You're not putting him off, are you?
  • 117:44 - 117:46
    l am, as a matter of fact.
  • 117:49 - 117:52
    l think you should go.
  • 117:53 - 117:54
    Does it really matter to you?
  • 117:54 - 117:58
    He's my uncle, and l happen to know
    he's rather looking forward to it.
  • 117:58 - 118:01
    lt's one wifely duty you can manage to fulfil.
  • 118:08 - 118:10
    Very well.
  • 118:13 - 118:16
    l must say, l like your hat.
  • 118:18 - 118:21
    And that frock fits you like a skin.
  • 118:22 - 118:24
    Yes. Tight as a drum.
  • 118:26 - 118:29
    Now, are you still on for Richmond Park?
  • 118:29 - 118:33
    A look at the deer and the chestnut trees?
  • 118:33 - 118:35
    Richmond is close to Robin Hill, isn't it?
  • 118:35 - 118:37
    Similar neck of the woods, my dear.
  • 118:39 - 118:44
    Uncle Swithin, would you be a dear,
    and drive me to Robin Hill?
  • 118:45 - 118:47
    l haven't yet seen the house, you see.
  • 118:47 - 118:49
    Certainly.
  • 118:49 - 118:51
    Certainly, my dear.
  • 118:51 - 118:53
    Get on, sonny, get on.
  • 119:30 - 119:33
    Ha ha! Welcome! Welcome to Robin Hill.
  • 119:33 - 119:35
    - Good afternoon, young man.
    - Good afternoon, sir.
  • 119:36 - 119:38
    - l'm so glad you could come.
    - Thank you.
  • 119:38 - 119:40
    So glad, so glad.
  • 119:40 - 119:42
    SWlTHlN: Extraordinary.
  • 119:42 - 119:44
    Come! Let me show you around.
  • 119:44 - 119:46
    Handsome.
  • 119:46 - 119:51
    You'll be wanting statues,
    a bust of a Roman god.
  • 119:51 - 119:54
    Can't beat a Roman god.
  • 119:55 - 119:56
    Ah!
  • 119:56 - 119:58
    That's more like it.
  • 119:58 - 120:00
    Granite columns.
  • 120:01 - 120:03
    Excellent space for a billiards room.
  • 120:03 - 120:07
    Oh, no.
    lt's to be an open courtyard, with a glass ceiling.
  • 120:08 - 120:11
    Glass ceiling? People will look through.
  • 120:12 - 120:14
    People on the roof, you mean?
  • 120:16 - 120:20
    You take my advice, lrene.
    Get yourself a billiards table.
  • 120:20 - 120:25
    l'll gladly play you a frame or two for a fiver,
    but you'll lose.
  • 120:26 - 120:30
    Ah, there's a good view from here.
  • 120:30 - 120:33
    Who needs to go down there for the view?
  • 120:34 - 120:36
    Monarch of all he surveys.
  • 120:36 - 120:39
    lRENE: l don't think he's surveying much.
  • 120:39 - 120:41
    He slept for the last two miles.
  • 120:41 - 120:42
    What do you think?
  • 120:45 - 120:47
    lRENE: l think it will be beautiful.
  • 121:19 - 121:20
    lrene.
  • 121:23 - 121:25
    You must know l love you.
  • 121:48 - 121:51
    l don't believe Soames Forsyte cares for you,
    except as a possession.
  • 121:51 - 121:54
    l am not thinking about Soames Forsyte.
  • 122:07 - 122:09
    - Uncle Swithin...
    - ls asleep.
  • 122:09 - 122:11
    ls waiting.
  • 122:14 - 122:16
    As is June for you.
  • 122:27 - 122:30
    You'll never make anything of that house,
    young fellow.
  • 122:30 - 122:32
    Too newfangled.
  • 122:33 - 122:36
    The only good thing is the wine cellar.
  • 122:38 - 122:42
    You'll have room for some...
    six or seven hundred dozen.
  • 122:44 - 122:46
    A very pooty little cellar.
  • 122:46 - 122:48
    Get on, sonny, get on!
  • 122:55 - 122:57
    Go on, now!
  • 122:57 - 122:59
    Get on!
  • 123:00 - 123:01
    On you go!
  • 123:09 - 123:11
    Good morning, Mr Forsyte.
  • 123:11 - 123:13
    Are you seeing your young man today?
  • 123:16 - 123:18
    You ask me that every day.
  • 123:18 - 123:20
    Oh.
  • 123:20 - 123:22
    l won't ask it again, then.
  • 123:35 - 123:37
    ls he taking you to the ball?
  • 123:40 - 123:42
    Of course.
  • 123:42 - 123:44
    You will be seeing him again, then.
  • 124:05 - 124:07
    Ah! Howzat!
  • 124:08 - 124:10
    l'll get it.
  • 124:12 - 124:13
    Dad?
  • 124:16 - 124:18
    Oh! Dropped it.
  • 124:23 - 124:25
    Ah!
  • 124:25 - 124:27
    Jolly, come over here.
  • 124:31 - 124:33
    - Do you want something to drink?
    - No, thanks.
  • 124:33 - 124:35
    OLD JOLYON: Your wife seems well.
  • 124:35 - 124:37
    Yes, she is.
  • 124:37 - 124:39
    She is well.
  • 124:39 - 124:42
    l can't say so much for June.
  • 124:42 - 124:44
    No?
  • 124:44 - 124:47
    Anything l say, she bites my head off.
  • 124:49 - 124:51
    l'd like to punch the fellow's head.
  • 124:52 - 124:54
    ls this Bosinney?
  • 124:54 - 124:56
    He never sees her.
  • 124:56 - 124:59
    When he does,
    she comes home crying her eyes out.
  • 124:59 - 125:01
    Perhaps it's better if it should come to an end.
  • 125:02 - 125:04
    Well...
  • 125:05 - 125:07
    l dare say you have sympathies with him.
  • 125:07 - 125:09
    Both of them.
  • 125:09 - 125:12
    Has he fallen for some other woman?
  • 125:14 - 125:16
    They say so.
  • 125:16 - 125:19
    And l suppose they've told you who it is.
  • 125:21 - 125:23
    Soames's wife.
  • 125:23 - 125:25
    So Swithin tells me.
  • 125:27 - 125:31
    She and June were bosom friends.
  • 125:32 - 125:34
    Oh, poor little June.
  • 125:34 - 125:37
    We need to know what his intentions are.
  • 125:37 - 125:39
    l can't do it. l...
  • 125:39 - 125:40
    But...
  • 125:42 - 125:44
    - He goes to your club, doesn't he?
    - Dad!
  • 125:44 - 125:46
    What's the matter?
  • 125:46 - 125:49
    lt's not been long since the family
    closed ranks against me,
  • 125:49 - 125:54
    for doing precisely, it seems,
    what Bosinney is about to do.
  • 125:57 - 125:59
    l'm sorry, Dad.
  • 126:04 - 126:10
    And if my son has failings, could he not improve
    upon them, with your help?
  • 126:12 - 126:14
    lt is not his failings.
  • 126:14 - 126:16
    lt is him.
  • 126:21 - 126:24
    Are there not matters
    that you yourself might alter?
  • 126:24 - 126:27
    lt would be a matter of wishing to.
  • 126:33 - 126:36
    When you speak together, for example...
  • 126:36 - 126:38
    We don't speak to any consequence.
  • 126:38 - 126:42
    He is, for the most part, silent,
    and l find that agreeable.
  • 126:42 - 126:44
    Yes, he's unlike James in that respect.
  • 126:44 - 126:48
    James has always spoken
    rather more than he needed.
  • 126:55 - 127:00
    To outward appearances, Soames would seem
    to be a very good husband.
  • 127:01 - 127:02
    You are not married to him.
  • 127:09 - 127:11
    l'm sorry.
  • 127:12 - 127:13
    ls it...
  • 127:14 - 127:18
    ls it to do with a certain close area
    within marriage?
  • 127:22 - 127:23
    lt's not that alone.
  • 127:24 - 127:27
    You see,
    l always rather dreaded the occurrence,
  • 127:27 - 127:31
    though l have, on the whole,
    enjoyed its results.
  • 127:31 - 127:36
    My children have afforded me much pleasure,
    and have distracted me
  • 127:36 - 127:40
    from the...relentlessness of marriage.
  • 127:44 - 127:50
    l wondered if the house in Robin Hill
    might not prove congenial in that respect.
  • 127:56 - 128:00
    Forgive me, my dear, but you seem so...
  • 128:02 - 128:03
    ..cold.
  • 128:03 - 128:08
    l know. l know l do,
    and l'm not a cold person.
  • 128:09 - 128:11
    l am not, Emily. l know l am not!
  • 128:11 - 128:14
    This is not me sitting here.
  • 128:14 - 128:16
    This is...
  • 128:17 - 128:20
    ..some wife! l...
  • 128:26 - 128:28
    What can l do?
  • 128:32 - 128:34
    l do not love him.
  • 128:34 - 128:36
    l cannot love him.
  • 128:38 - 128:40
    l do not want to love him.
  • 128:44 - 128:45
    Sorry.
  • 128:47 - 128:48
    Sorry.
  • 128:49 - 128:50
    And you do not think that children...
  • 128:50 - 128:52
    No!
  • 128:53 - 128:54
    Never.
  • 128:58 - 129:00
    Down.
  • 129:08 - 129:10
    This will do, just here.
  • 129:10 - 129:12
    Very good, sir. Whoa, there!
  • 129:18 - 129:19
    Thank you, Dockwood. Onward.
  • 129:19 - 129:21
    DOCKWOOD: Walk on, boy.
  • 129:27 - 129:29
    Morning, Bosinney.
  • 129:29 - 129:30
    Are you taking a break?
  • 129:30 - 129:34
    l'm giving you notice to terminate my
    employment, as the house is almost finished.
  • 129:34 - 129:37
    You undertook to decorate. We have a contract.
  • 129:37 - 129:39
    You've never once come down,
  • 129:39 - 129:42
    without suggesting something
    that runs counter to my scheme.
  • 129:42 - 129:44
    lf l am to decorate,
    then l must have a free hand.
  • 129:44 - 129:46
    l'd say you've had a free hand all along.
  • 129:46 - 129:49
    l haven't been able to make one suggestion
    you've agreed with.
  • 129:52 - 129:54
    Just keep it below ��1 2,000, that's all.
  • 129:54 - 129:56
    How am l expected to predict to the pound?
  • 129:56 - 130:00
    lf you go over by say, ��50 or so,
    there'll be no difficulty between us,
  • 130:00 - 130:03
    ln those terms,
    you may have a free hand.
  • 130:03 - 130:04
    Will you put it in writing?
  • 130:04 - 130:06
    Yes, l will put it in writing.
  • 130:06 - 130:08
    Very well. Drive on.
  • 130:10 - 130:11
    Bosinney.
  • 130:12 - 130:13
    Bosinney!
  • 130:19 - 130:21
    Dockwood, back to London.
  • 130:22 - 130:25
    STREET VENDOR: Hot potato!
    Come and get your hot potato.
  • 130:58 - 130:59
    Phil!

    to bring the case than you could win.

  • 152:44 - 152:45
    Phil?
  • 152:45 - 152:48
    How long have you been saying
    you want him out of your life?
  • 152:48 - 152:50
    This binds you together for months.
  • 152:50 - 152:53
    l will not see that man make a fool of me.
  • 152:55 - 152:59
    No. You're quite capable of doing it by yourself.
  • 153:01 - 153:03
    HESTER: Will it really get to court?
  • 153:03 - 153:05
    JULEY: Soames is adamant it will.
  • 153:05 - 153:08
    MONTY: Brush your best togs off.
    Standing room only in the gallery.
  • 153:09 - 153:11
    - l doubt it.
    - Quite the joey where your brother's concerned.
  • 153:11 - 153:15
    Anyone else, quid to a bloater,
    she'd be hanging off the grapevine.
  • 153:15 - 153:20
    lt's a dull contractual wrangle, Monty,
    not Norton versus Lord Melbourne.
  • 153:20 - 153:22
    There have been wars fought over less.
  • 153:22 - 153:24
    Less than the hand of a woman?
  • 153:24 - 153:27
    No, dear. Keep up.
    lt was Bosinney's sunken bath that did it.
  • 153:27 - 153:31
    - lt was a marble flower tub, Juley.
    - lt was a woman.
  • 153:31 - 153:33
    A marble woman?
  • 153:35 - 153:36
    lrene Forsyte.
  • 153:39 - 153:41
    No!
  • 153:41 - 153:43
    What's ��350 to a man like Soames?
  • 153:43 - 153:46
    He's marking the buccaneer's card.
  • 153:46 - 153:48
    Trespassers will be prosecuted.
  • 153:49 - 153:52
    You must have heard the whisper.
  • 153:52 - 153:55
    When you said they danced at Swithin's ball...
  • 153:55 - 153:58
    You thought she meant a waltz.
  • 153:58 - 154:01
    But Soames is the perfect husband!
    l can't believe it.
  • 154:01 - 154:03
    You want to, both of you. Admit it.
  • 154:03 - 154:08
    Oh, please! One can see
    how men might find lrene...charming...
  • 154:08 - 154:10
    Monty's always failed to see the attraction.
  • 154:10 - 154:13
    HESTER: But quiet.
    lf anything, a shrinking violet.
  • 154:15 - 154:17
    l rather fear she's been plucked.
  • 154:23 - 154:26
    And l rather fear we're going to be late.
  • 154:26 - 154:27
    - Come, dear.
    - Late?
  • 154:27 - 154:29
    Bye, dear.
  • 154:29 - 154:32
    We have another call this afternoon.
    A chum of Monty's.
  • 154:32 - 154:34
    - Bye-bye, dear.
    - Do forgive us.
  • 154:35 - 154:37
    Ladies.
  • 154:38 - 154:41
    Freddie, they love all the tackle.
  • 154:41 - 154:43
    Well, l don't.
  • 154:45 - 154:48
    - What did the solicitor say?
    - He told me exactly what l knew.
  • 154:48 - 154:50
    l have a case every bit as strong as Soames'.
  • 154:50 - 154:53
    Now people will see him for what he is.
  • 154:53 - 154:55
    He is a solicitor, the son of a solicitor.
  • 154:56 - 155:00
    - He knows how to construct a case.
    - Oh, as does my own fellow.
  • 155:00 - 155:04
    He's instructed Jobling & Boulter,
    one of the best in their field.
  • 155:04 - 155:06
    l might be intimidated
    if l didn't have right on my side.
  • 155:09 - 155:11
    You do believe that, don't you?
  • 155:11 - 155:16
    Of course l do, Phil,
    but money speaks, even in a court of law.
  • 155:16 - 155:18
    l have money.
  • 155:18 - 155:20
    Or will have. There's the house of Wilson.
  • 155:20 - 155:24
    There'll be more work after that.
    My reputation's growing.
  • 155:28 - 155:31
    What, then? What should l do?
  • 155:32 - 155:34
    Not fight? Just flee? We could do that.
  • 155:34 - 155:36
    We could not!
  • 155:36 - 155:40
    l could set up in Liverpool, or Glasgow,
    or Paris if l wanted to.
  • 155:40 - 155:42
    l'm a free man.
  • 155:42 - 155:44
    - Soames cannot stop me from working.
    - He could try.
  • 155:44 - 155:46
    lf l were with you, he would try.
  • 155:48 - 155:50
    l don't think you should leave.
  • 155:51 - 155:53
    You've done nothing wrong.
  • 156:38 - 156:41
    Welcome home. Welcome home, sir.
  • 156:41 - 156:44
    - Lovely weather. Perfect.
    - Yes, sir.
  • 156:44 - 156:46
    Pleasant journey, sir?
  • 156:46 - 156:48
    l need another holiday to recover.
  • 156:48 - 156:51
    - Hello, Parfitt.
    - Miss June, l see you have been busy.
  • 156:51 - 156:53
    We took a detour to Paris.
  • 156:53 - 156:55
    Gran indulged me with a little shopping.
  • 156:55 - 157:00
    Tell me how l lived so long without knowing
    the difference between boucle and chenille...
  • 157:00 - 157:02
    Don't start all that again, Gran.
  • 157:02 - 157:05
    So Miss June is returning home refreshed.
  • 157:05 - 157:07
    Like a new woman, Parfitt.
  • 157:11 - 157:13
    - Bring me some tea in the study, Parfitt.
    - Right away, sir.
  • 157:14 - 157:19
    BOSlNNEY: The convention would be to
    close this off- a wall here, a door here.
  • 157:20 - 157:22
    l propose a hinged partition.
  • 157:22 - 157:26
    A huge folding door if you like.
  • 157:26 - 157:28
    Privacy and intimacy when you need it,
  • 157:28 - 157:33
    but the etched glass panels
    mean you lose none of the light.
  • 157:33 - 157:38
    This l like, but l am still unconvinced
    about the veranda.
  • 157:38 - 157:42
    You did something similar
    in the house at Robin Hill.
  • 157:42 - 157:44
    Similar, not the same.
  • 157:44 - 157:46
    l should like to see it for myself.
  • 157:46 - 157:49
    - lt's clearer on here.
    - Constructed.
  • 157:49 - 157:51
    l need a better sense of the proportions.
  • 157:51 - 157:53
    l er...no longer have access.
  • 157:53 - 157:56
    You can speak to the owner, surely?
  • 157:56 - 157:59
    l'm in dispute with the owner.
    A small matter, soon to be resolved.
  • 157:59 - 158:02
    But l can show you
    an example of this type of thing,
  • 158:02 - 158:05
    and if you're agreeable,
    l can have contracts drawn up.
  • 158:05 - 158:07
    What kind of dispute?
  • 158:07 - 158:09
    lt's nothing. A few hundred pounds.
  • 158:09 - 158:11
    You are owed?
  • 158:13 - 158:16
    - You owe?
    - He says.
  • 158:16 - 158:19
    l wish l'd known of this earlier.
  • 158:19 - 158:21
    lt has no bearing on the job. You have my word.
  • 158:21 - 158:24
    Really, Mr Wilson, l do assure you, it's nothing.
  • 158:25 - 158:29
    l suggest you come back to me
    when the matter is resolved.
  • 158:29 - 158:33
    Well, if it's characters you require,
    l can provide them.
  • 158:33 - 158:36
    When you are in a position to proceed,
    come back to me. Good day.
  • 158:41 - 158:43
    He thinks l'm a thief.
  • 158:43 - 158:45
    He wants to commission you.
  • 158:45 - 158:48
    After the court case,
    once he knows l can be trusted.
  • 158:49 - 158:51
    Any client l approach will feel the same.
  • 158:51 - 158:54
    lf he'd only signed the contract,
    l'd have borrowed against it.
  • 158:54 - 158:58
    - l could have withstood a loss in court.
    - You won't lose.
  • 158:58 - 159:00
    - But if l do, l lose everything.
    - Not everything.
  • 159:01 - 159:03
    Home, business...
  • 159:03 - 159:05
    lt would bankrupt me, lrene.
  • 159:05 - 159:07
    Not everything.
  • 159:07 - 159:09
    Here.
  • 159:12 - 159:14
    My father's.
  • 159:14 - 159:16
    l cannot take this.
  • 159:16 - 159:18
    You must.
  • 159:18 - 159:22
    We have to take our lead from Soames,
    play this purely as a legal matter.
  • 159:22 - 159:26
    We shall act the dutiful wife,
    and the wronged architect.
  • 159:26 - 159:28
    They shall know nothing of our plans.
  • 159:28 - 159:32
    Even a hint of scandal
    could turn the judge against you.
  • 159:33 - 159:37
    - We shall behave like hypocrites.
    - We shall behave discreetly.
  • 159:38 - 159:40
    Just a few more weeks.
  • 159:40 - 159:42
    lt'll be worth it in the end.
  • 159:43 - 159:45
    But you doted on your father.
  • 159:47 - 159:51
    l am offering you the watch.
    The memories are not for sale.
  • 159:54 - 159:56
    Ah ah ah ah!
  • 159:56 - 159:58
    (She laughs)
  • 160:02 - 160:04
    Have they reduced us to their level
    if we sell this?
  • 160:04 - 160:06
    No.
  • 160:06 - 160:10
    We're proving to the Forsytes
    that everything has its price.
  • 160:10 - 160:14
    We're proving that sometimes
    property can set one free.
  • 160:16 - 160:18
    Then we shall be really free.
  • 160:19 - 160:21
    That vase should bring a few shillings.
  • 160:21 - 160:25
    - And that figurine.
    - You can't sell everything.
  • 160:25 - 160:27
    Why not? We shall live like Gypsies.
  • 160:27 - 160:31
    We'll buy a caravan, and we shall go
    wherever work and whim take us.
  • 160:31 - 160:33
    From building site to building site?
  • 160:34 - 160:38
    You can cook my dinner on the campfire,
    and raise a brood of children in the van.
  • 160:38 - 160:40
    Six? Seven?
  • 160:40 - 160:43
    l shall buy another van, and hitch it on the back.
  • 160:44 - 160:46
    (Chimes)
  • 160:50 - 160:52
    l must go.
  • 160:52 - 160:54
    And so must you, my friend.
  • 160:54 - 160:56
    No.
  • 160:56 - 160:58
    We should save it.
  • 160:59 - 161:03
    lt'll remind us of a time
    when every second was precious.
  • 161:03 - 161:06
    No. lt will remind me of a time
    when l was forced to share you.
  • 161:22 - 161:26
    - Good day, sir?
    - Yes, thank you, Bilson, very good.
  • 161:27 - 161:31
    Would you ask Mrs Forsyte
    if she'll join me before dinner?
  • 161:31 - 161:33
    Mrs Forsyte's still out, sir.
  • 161:33 - 161:35
    - Since when?
    - Since after lunch.
  • 161:35 - 161:39
    - Did she say where she was going?
    - No, Mr Forsyte.
  • 162:05 - 162:07
    Don't say sorry!
  • 163:36 - 163:38
    June! What a lovely surprise!
  • 163:38 - 163:40
    Aunt Hester.
  • 163:40 - 163:42
    Juley.
  • 163:43 - 163:45
    How lovely to see you.
  • 163:45 - 163:48
    l couldn't go to Switzerland
    without bringing you some chocolates.
  • 163:53 - 163:55
    So...
  • 163:55 - 163:58
    We received your card, dear.
    Kind of you to even think of us.
  • 163:58 - 164:02
    We had a struggle to decipher your script.
  • 164:02 - 164:06
    Hester said it looked like a spider
    had run through the inkwell.
  • 164:06 - 164:08
    Oh.
  • 164:09 - 164:11
    But you had a lovely time.
  • 164:11 - 164:13
    We worked out that much.
  • 164:13 - 164:15
    l did.
  • 164:15 - 164:18
    And what about yourselves?
  • 164:18 - 164:21
    - You look well. ls everybody else?
    - Well?
  • 164:21 - 164:23
    - Yes.
    - Everybody?
  • 164:23 - 164:25
    Yes.
  • 164:25 - 164:27
    Yes, very well.
  • 164:27 - 164:29
    Good.
  • 164:34 - 164:36
    Soames and lrene?
  • 164:37 - 164:39
    Are they ever in town?
  • 164:39 - 164:42
    Oh, yes. That business with the house...
  • 164:42 - 164:44
    They never left.
  • 164:46 - 164:48
    What business?
  • 164:50 - 164:55
    Some difficulty.
    Hester understands it better than l.
  • 165:01 - 165:03
    Aunt Hester?
  • 165:04 - 165:08
    Mr Bosinney was careless once too often
    with the budget.
  • 165:08 - 165:10
    Soames is going to sue.
  • 165:13 - 165:15
    How careless?
  • 165:15 - 165:17
    ��350.
  • 165:18 - 165:20
    ls that all?
  • 165:20 - 165:24
    - lt's a sizeable sum.
    - Not to a man like Soames.
  • 165:28 - 165:31
    - People will be talking.
    - We prefer not to listen.
  • 165:31 - 165:34
    All the same, it matters what they say.
  • 165:38 - 165:41
    You must understand
    the delicacy of my position.
  • 165:43 - 165:47
    l introduced Philip Bosinney to Soames
    to further his career, not destroy it.
  • 165:47 - 165:50
    My dear, you can hardly blame yourself.
  • 165:50 - 165:54
    You introduced him as an architect.
  • 165:57 - 165:59
    You think he has strayed beyond that role?
  • 166:02 - 166:05
    l have no idea.
  • 166:06 - 166:08
    But that is what people say?
  • 166:14 - 166:19
    And Soames...stupid, stupid Soames has
    trumped up some charge to take Phil to court,
  • 166:19 - 166:23
    knowing he hasn't the money for the fight,
    knowing he has nothing.
  • 166:23 - 166:24
    Except lrene.
  • 166:28 - 166:31
    What Soames is doing,
    he's throwing them together.
  • 166:31 - 166:35
    How can lrene's heart not go out to Phil?
    My heart goes out to him.
  • 166:35 - 166:39
    - He doesn't deserve it.
    - He doesn't deserve this treatment.
  • 166:39 - 166:43
    Think what you like about him -
    he's a brilliant man, a visionary.
  • 166:43 - 166:46
    And all that could be lost.
  • 166:48 - 166:51
    Damn Soames with his thousands in the bank,
    and nothing in his soul!
  • 166:51 - 166:53
    - Damn him to hell!
    - June...
  • 166:53 - 166:55
    lf this were anyone but Phil, you would agree.
  • 166:55 - 166:58
    - They'll be the talk of London.
    - What if they are?
  • 166:58 - 167:02
    Please, June, let Bosinney go.
  • 167:13 - 167:15
    - Hello.
    - Hello.
  • 167:15 - 167:17
    No, Phil, not here.
  • 167:53 - 167:56
    That's wonderful.
  • 167:56 - 167:58
    lt's beautiful.
  • 167:58 - 168:00
    lt's...er... lt has a life.
  • 168:02 - 168:03
    Bosinney.
  • 168:05 - 168:07
    l haven't seen you at the club for some time.
  • 168:07 - 168:09
    - No. No.
    - How are you?
  • 168:09 - 168:11
    Well. Well. And you?
  • 168:11 - 168:13
    The same, thank you.
  • 168:17 - 168:21
    - Mrs lrene Forsyte.
    - How do you do?
  • 168:21 - 168:24
    - Mr Jolyon Forsyte.
    - How do you do?
  • 168:26 - 168:28
    Forsyte here is an artist.
  • 168:29 - 168:31
    No Turner, l'm afraid.
  • 168:32 - 168:34
    Watercolours mainly.
  • 168:35 - 168:42
    On a gloomy day, l find a stroll through here
    really can raise the spirits like nothing else.
  • 168:42 - 168:43
    Don't you agree?
  • 168:46 - 168:48
    Er...yes.
  • 168:50 - 168:52
    Poor Mr Bosinney,
  • 168:52 - 168:54
    he...
  • 168:54 - 168:56
    he little realised
  • 168:56 - 168:59
    when my husband contracted him
    to design us a house
  • 168:59 - 169:03
    he'd be called upon to advise me on everything
    from plants to cushion covers.
  • 169:05 - 169:07
    (Chuckles)
  • 169:08 - 169:10
    We should leave you to your art.
  • 169:10 - 169:12
    - Yes.
    - Good day.
  • 169:12 - 169:14
    Good day.
  • 169:22 - 169:26
    - That's June's father.
    - Who abandoned her to follow his heart.
  • 169:26 - 169:30
    He more than anyone
    would wish to protect her from talk.
  • 169:30 - 169:32
    Nor would he wish upon her
    a lifetime of resentment,
  • 169:32 - 169:36
    which is what l would have done
    had l married June.
  • 169:36 - 169:39
    What should we have done, you and l?
    Never met? Out of our control.
  • 169:39 - 169:41
    Never fallen in love?
  • 169:41 - 169:45
    Before we knew it, it was too late.
    We cannot expect this to be easy.
  • 169:46 - 169:48
    - You do love me?
    - Love you!
  • 169:49 - 169:52
    l am prepared to lose everything for you.
  • 169:53 - 169:56
    l would leave this city,
    this country at a moment's notice.
  • 169:56 - 170:01
    l would grub in the dirt with my fingers,
    sell my soul to spend my life with you.
  • 170:04 - 170:07
    Respectability will not keep you warm at night.
  • 170:07 - 170:09
    You know it.
  • 170:09 - 170:11
    Jolyon Forsyte knew it.
  • 170:11 - 170:15
    He had to fight for his happiness,
    which is what we shall have to do.
  • 170:18 - 170:20
    But we will do it.
  • 170:20 - 170:22
    And it will taste twice as sweet.
  • 170:22 - 170:25
    Oh, a little courage, my love.
  • 170:27 - 170:31
    A letter here proves Bosinney was quoted
    a lower figure on the tiling
  • 170:31 - 170:33
    by Temple & Son.
  • 170:35 - 170:37
    - Good firm?
    - Good enough for Lady Charlesworth.
  • 170:37 - 170:41
    Oh, how are you, Jolyon?
    l haven't seen you for an age.
  • 170:41 - 170:43
    l've come for my will.
  • 170:43 - 170:45
    Ah... Will you...?
  • 170:46 - 170:50
    - You've been to Switzerland, they tell me.
    - We have.
  • 170:50 - 170:51
    Ah...
  • 170:51 - 170:55
    This young Bosinney's got himself into a mess.
  • 170:55 - 170:57
    l knew how it would be.
  • 170:57 - 171:00
    Over ��350?
  • 171:00 - 171:01
    You know?
  • 171:01 - 171:05
    - (Laughs)
    - ls it...common knowledge?
  • 171:06 - 171:09
    l thought Soames was a man of property.
  • 171:09 - 171:12
    - Oh, it isn't the money.
    - What, then? The principle?
  • 171:12 - 171:15
    l doubt if Soames could even spell the word.
  • 171:17 - 171:19
    You'll be wanting to make an alteration?
  • 171:20 - 171:23
    l'm taking my business to Herring & Poulbred's.
  • 171:25 - 171:27
    Good day to you, sir.
  • 171:28 - 171:30
    (Door slams)
  • 171:30 - 171:32
    There's something l need to tell you.
  • 171:32 - 171:34
    l'm settling ��1 ,000 a year on you.
  • 171:36 - 171:38
    June will have ��50,000 on my death.
    The rest is for you.
  • 171:38 - 171:39
    Dad, l...
  • 171:39 - 171:42
    l'm telling you this merely for your information.
  • 171:42 - 171:44
    l've been looking back. l've been taking stock.
  • 171:44 - 171:48
    l think this London life is responsible
    for half our troubles.
  • 171:48 - 171:50
    Dad, we...
  • 171:50 - 171:53
    l want us to be a family again
    while we still have the chance.
  • 171:53 - 171:56
    l want us to make a fresh start, hm,
    away from London,
  • 171:56 - 172:00
    where we can introduce ourselves
    as Forsytes without flinching.
  • 172:03 - 172:05
    Think about it.
  • 172:05 - 172:09
    Fresh air instead of fog,
    plenty of room for the children to run wild,
  • 172:09 - 172:13
    space...light...landscapes...
  • 172:13 - 172:15
    You mean everything we don't have now?
  • 172:15 - 172:17
    Exactly.
  • 172:18 - 172:20
    Have you somewhere in mind?
  • 172:22 - 172:24
    Not yet.
  • 172:28 - 172:30
    How do you feel about that, Helene?
  • 172:30 - 172:32
    What is there to feel?
  • 172:33 - 172:35
    What can one feel except relief,
  • 172:35 - 172:37
    except...?
  • 172:37 - 172:39
    What? Gratitude?
  • 172:43 - 172:45
    - Why now?
    - Because now is the right time.
  • 172:50 - 172:52
    l think we're happy where we are.
  • 172:55 - 172:59
    Really? Can one be happy in St John's Wood?
  • 173:00 - 173:01
    Yes.
  • 173:03 - 173:06
    One can be very, very happy.
  • 173:17 - 173:20
    That wasn't quite how you pictured it,
    was it, Dad?
  • 173:24 - 173:26
    You're even less of a Forsyte than l thought.
  • 173:30 - 173:32
    l expect l should be grateful for that.
  • 173:40 - 173:44
    JOLYON: You'll be able to ride again,
    and teach the children.
  • 173:44 - 173:46
    lt depends on where we end up.
  • 173:46 - 173:49
    Well, somewhere with stables, l suppose.
  • 173:50 - 173:53
    He invited us to...come and live,
  • 173:54 - 173:56
    but it would be your father's house,
  • 173:56 - 173:58
    his choice.
  • 173:58 - 174:00
    And June will have her say, l suppose.
  • 174:00 - 174:02
    Helene, if you have any doubt...
  • 174:02 - 174:04
    l want my children to belong.
  • 174:06 - 174:08
    lt's what l always wanted.
  • 174:09 - 174:11
    ls this what you always wanted?
  • 174:13 - 174:16
    l was...sure it would never happen.
  • 174:19 - 174:21
    All those years...
  • 174:22 - 174:24
    ..you missed him very much, didn't you?
  • 174:27 - 174:29
    He's my father.
  • 174:33 - 174:36
    Helene, those years made us what we are.
  • 174:36 - 174:38
    lt's given us Jolyon and Holly.
  • 174:40 - 174:42
    l know.
  • 174:44 - 174:46
    l'm just frightened.
  • 174:46 - 174:48
    You will be so different.
  • 174:52 - 174:54
    What if you had to choose again...?
  • 174:54 - 174:56
    lt would be you. lt would always be you.
  • 174:58 - 175:00
    l love you.
  • 175:03 - 175:05
    (Chiming)
  • 175:10 - 175:12
    - l must go.
    - Don't go.
  • 175:13 - 175:15
    l must.
  • 175:25 - 175:27
    - Will you miss this place?
    - ln truth, not a bit.
  • 175:27 - 175:30
    Two days, Phil, then we shall be free.
  • 175:30 - 175:33
    - You are sure?
    - The hotel is booked. Everything is in place.
  • 175:33 - 175:36
    As the judge announces his verdict,
    we'll start our life together.
  • 175:36 - 175:39
    - Two more days, Phil.
    - Two more than l'd like.
  • 178:32 - 178:33
    Soames...?
  • 178:33 - 178:36
    Yes, your husband.
  • 178:40 - 178:41
    No...
  • 178:41 - 178:43
    - You've had too much to drink.
    - l've waited too long.
  • 178:43 - 178:45
    No. No.
  • 178:45 - 178:47
    No!
  • 178:49 - 178:51
    No!
  • 178:52 - 178:54
    No! No, please!
  • 178:54 - 178:57
    - Please, don't do this.
    - l told you, l've waited too...
  • 179:04 - 179:06
    Ow!
  • 179:06 - 179:09
    - No!
    - You need to be nice to me for once.
  • 179:09 - 179:11
    No! No! No.
  • 179:11 - 179:13
    (Tearing cloth)
  • 179:13 - 179:15
    No!
  • 179:15 - 179:18
    - No! No!
    - Lie still, l say!
  • 179:18 - 179:22
    - No!
    - Shh... Be quiet!
  • 179:22 - 179:24
    Lie back. lt's dark.
  • 179:24 - 179:25
    Think it's him.
  • 179:26 - 179:28
    (Soames grunts)
  • 179:34 - 179:36
    No! No!
  • 179:36 - 179:38
    No! No!
  • 179:38 - 179:40
    No!
  • 179:40 - 179:42
    Ah, no!
  • 179:46 - 179:48
    No! No!
  • 179:48 - 179:50
    No!
  • 179:51 - 179:53
    No! No!
  • 179:54 - 179:56
    (Soames gasps)
  • 180:21 - 180:24
    See, why can't it always be like this?
  • 180:45 - 180:47
    (Whimpers)
  • 180:47 - 180:48
    Shh...
  • 181:15 - 181:17
    (Clock chimes)
  • 181:20 - 181:23
    Would you put the lamps on, Bilson?
    lt's gloomy this morning.
  • 181:23 - 181:25
    lt's the fog, sir.
  • 181:27 - 181:30
    lf Mrs Forsyte goes out today,
    would you get her a carriage?
  • 181:30 - 181:31
    Yes.
  • 181:31 - 181:33
    Can l get you a tincture for that scratch, sir?
  • 181:33 - 181:36
    lt's a cut. l did it shaving.
  • 182:36 - 182:38
    lrene!
  • 182:38 - 182:40
    l came to wish you luck.
  • 182:40 - 182:42
    You've only just caught me.
  • 182:42 - 182:44
    l was off to see Chancory this morning.
  • 182:45 - 182:47
    Final instructions.
  • 182:51 - 182:54
    Tell a fellow to get a haircut,
    and wear a clean shirt,
  • 182:54 - 182:56
    and charge three guineas for the privilege.
  • 182:56 - 182:58
    l'm in the wrong business.
  • 183:01 - 183:03
    lrene, are you all right?
  • 183:07 - 183:09
    l...l didn't sleep.
  • 183:10 - 183:12
    What's the matter?
  • 183:12 - 183:14
    ls something the matter?
  • 183:19 - 183:22
    You've come to tell me
    you've changed your mind.
  • 183:22 - 183:25
    - No!
    - You haven't the courage to leave Soames.
  • 183:25 - 183:27
    - No.
    - Well, then, what, lrene?
  • 183:27 - 183:28
    Please, don't do this to me.
  • 183:28 - 183:30
    What's that?
  • 183:30 - 183:32
    - Nothing.
    - Well, show me.
  • 183:32 - 183:34
    l'm sorry. Sorry.
  • 183:35 - 183:37
    Let me see. Shh...
  • 183:45 - 183:47
    Did he do this?
  • 183:48 - 183:50
    Last night?
  • 183:52 - 183:54
    Has he ever hurt you before?
  • 183:54 - 183:57
    - No.
    - What happened?
  • 183:57 - 184:00
    lf we can just get through tomorrow...
  • 184:00 - 184:02
    - Tell me.
    - l cannot.
  • 184:02 - 184:04
    lrene...
  • 184:05 - 184:07
    l will pack my things tonight.
    He will never know.
  • 184:07 - 184:09
    You're not going home.
  • 184:09 - 184:12
    - God knows what he'll do tonight.
    - l will bolt the door.
  • 184:12 - 184:14
    l...
  • 184:14 - 184:16
    l won't forget this time.
  • 184:20 - 184:23
    He came to your room?
  • 184:28 - 184:30
    What did he do?
  • 184:30 - 184:32
    You'll kill him.
  • 184:33 - 184:36
    - lrene...?
    - l was sleeping.
  • 184:36 - 184:37
    He...
  • 184:37 - 184:39
    He climbed into bed.
  • 184:39 - 184:42
    He said l should be nice to him.
  • 184:44 - 184:46
    He said he was my husband.
  • 184:58 - 185:01
    l begged him to stop.
  • 185:01 - 185:03
    You must believe me.
  • 185:06 - 185:08
    Why did we wait?
  • 185:09 - 185:11
    We could have left weeks ago!
  • 185:13 - 185:15
    Why did l listen to you?
  • 185:17 - 185:20
    Where is he? ls he at his office?
  • 185:20 - 185:22
    You must not go there.
  • 185:22 - 185:24
    Phil...you will not go there!
  • 185:24 - 185:28
    - He can't get away with this!
    - We'll have our justice in court!
  • 185:28 - 185:30
    - l'm coming with you.
    - No! You've been through enough!
  • 185:30 - 185:34
    Then stay. Don't leave me!
  • 185:34 - 185:36
    l beg your pardon, miss. l'm sorry.
  • 185:36 - 185:39
    - Are you all right? Are you sure?
    - Yes.
  • 185:39 - 185:41
    l'm all...
  • 185:44 - 185:45
    Phil?
  • 185:47 - 185:49
    Phil!
  • 186:06 - 186:07
    Phil?
  • 186:08 - 186:10
    - Forsyte! Where is he?
    - Sir, can l help you?
  • 186:10 - 186:14
    - Where is the pillar of society?
    - Forsyte, l know you're in there.
  • 186:14 - 186:16
    Don't think you can hide
    behind your pen pushers!
  • 186:16 - 186:18
    - What is going on?
    - Wrong Forsyte.
  • 186:18 - 186:22
    - What are you doing here?
    - l'm here with good reason!
  • 186:22 - 186:23
    Where is your son?
  • 186:23 - 186:25
    He isn't here, fortunately for you.
  • 186:25 - 186:26
    l'll wait.
  • 186:26 - 186:29
    lf you have something to say,
    save it for the court.
  • 186:29 - 186:33
    - No, l'll wait.
    - No, you will leave before l have you thrown out.
  • 186:33 - 186:36
    - You think l don't know where he lives?
    - ls that a threat?
  • 186:36 - 186:39
    You think l don't know his club? l'll find him.
  • 186:39 - 186:43
    - Do and you'll wake up in the Brightwell.
    - lt'll be worth it, believe me.
  • 186:45 - 186:47
    See the fellow out the door.
  • 186:57 - 186:59
    Hey! Look where you're going!
  • 187:05 - 187:08
    Mr Philip Bosinney here
    to see Mr Soames Forsyte.
  • 187:08 - 187:11
    - lt is of an urgent nature.
    - lf you will kindly wait.
  • 187:36 - 187:38
    Mr Soames Forsyte is not here today, sir.
  • 187:38 - 187:40
    You're a liar.
  • 187:40 - 187:42
    l do not like your tone, sir.
  • 187:42 - 187:47
    You're a liar, and you would not protect him
    if you knew what l know.
  • 187:47 - 187:49
    Sir, would you kindly leave?
  • 187:49 - 187:52
    Don't call me sir,
    and then treat me like a piece of dirt!
  • 187:52 - 187:54
    Forsyte! Forsyte!
  • 187:54 - 187:58
    Come out here and be a man! Forsyte!
  • 187:58 - 188:00
    Be a man for once in your life!
  • 188:00 - 188:01
    Forsyte!
  • 188:02 - 188:04
    (Shouts)
  • 188:04 - 188:06
    Forsyte!
  • 188:34 - 188:36
    Get out of the way!
  • 188:38 - 188:39
    (Yells)
  • 188:39 - 188:41
    (Screams)
  • 189:17 - 189:19
    l bought you this.
  • 189:32 - 189:34
    Do you like it?
  • 189:36 - 189:39
    You deserve the best of everything, lrene.
  • 189:45 - 189:47
    You look pale. You should rest.
  • 189:47 - 189:51
    Excuse me, madam,
    would you like me to serve dinner now?
  • 189:51 - 189:53
    No, thank you.
  • 189:59 - 190:02
    You haven't eaten anything, sir.
    Was something wrong?
  • 190:02 - 190:04
    No. Anxiety about this case, l suppose.
  • 190:04 - 190:06
    l'm sure you have nothing to fear.
  • 190:06 - 190:09
    Let us hope
    Mr Justice Bentham shares your view.
  • 190:14 - 190:17
    Let Mrs Forsyte sleep this morning, Bilson.
  • 190:17 - 190:19
    She's already wished me luck.
  • 190:22 - 190:24
    l suppose it'll be on directly.
  • 190:24 - 190:26
    lt's bound to be.
  • 190:26 - 190:30
    You're sure Boulter
    was the right man for the job?
  • 190:30 - 190:32
    l must hope so.
  • 190:32 - 190:36
    lt's no reflection on Forsyte Bustard & Forsyte
    if it doesn't go your way.
  • 190:36 - 190:37
    Not that it won't.
  • 190:37 - 190:41
    lt's up to the barristers now anyway.
  • 190:42 - 190:44
    - Yours or his?
    - Mine.
  • 190:44 - 190:47
    - Morning, Chancory.
    - Good morning, Mr Waterbuck.
  • 190:47 - 190:50
    - l suppose the other fellow's Bosinney's.
    - Yes.
  • 190:50 - 190:54
    Looks like a child let loose in a dressing-up box.
  • 190:55 - 190:58
    Morning, Boulter. Have you briefed Forsyte?
  • 190:58 - 191:00
    What's she doing here?
  • 191:00 - 191:04
    Smooth enough. Told him Justice Bentham
    was a common-sense judge.
  • 191:04 - 191:05
    Good. Good.
  • 191:05 - 191:07
    Good of you to come.
  • 191:07 - 191:11
    Goodness had nothing to do with it.
    Small battles must be rigorously fought.
  • 191:11 - 191:12
    Hear hear.
  • 191:12 - 191:17
    Good architecture requires discipline,
    a balance between one's heart and one's head.
  • 191:17 - 191:19
    Amen to that.
  • 191:19 - 191:21
    That Soames cannot separate the two
    is his tragedy.
  • 191:21 - 191:25
    You're here to support the other fellow?
  • 191:25 - 191:26
    Yes, l am.
  • 191:29 - 191:31
    What happened to family loyalty?
  • 191:31 - 191:33
    - Good morning, sir.
    - Very good morning, Uncle.
  • 191:33 - 191:37
    What's good about it?
    l'll have a word with Boulter.
  • 191:37 - 191:41
    Feeling nervous, Soames?
    Other side of the fence and all that?
  • 191:41 - 191:43
    You'll be wanting to rub his nose in it, l bet.
  • 191:43 - 191:46
    Not at all. The principle's at stake.
  • 191:46 - 191:49
    When a man talks about principles,
    he knows he's on a sticky wicket.
  • 191:50 - 191:52
    Don't worry, old boy. You could always lay it off.
  • 191:52 - 191:57
    - Lay it off?
    - l'll have a word with Bosinney's opposite fellow.
  • 191:57 - 192:00
    What did he say? ��250 apiece?
    You'll be laughing.
  • 192:00 - 192:02
    - Bribe him?
    - Bet him, man.
  • 192:02 - 192:05
    - Winner pays the loser.
    - lt makes sense, Soames.
  • 192:05 - 192:07
    Don't be absurd.
  • 192:07 - 192:10
    lt's good business whichever way you look at it.
  • 192:10 - 192:14
    Tricky case like yours.
    Good luck, old boy. All the best.
  • 192:14 - 192:18
    BAlLlFF: Call Philip Baines Bosinney!
  • 192:18 - 192:20
    Call Philip Baines Bosinney!
  • 193:18 - 193:20
    (Knocking at door)
  • 193:24 - 193:26
    Yes?
  • 193:27 - 193:31
    - Your champagne, Mrs Bosinney.
    - l didn't order any.
  • 193:31 - 193:33
    - Your husband did.
    - Oh.
  • 193:33 - 193:36
    - When?
    - When he reserved the room, madam.
  • 193:36 - 193:38
    - Oh.
    - Shall l open the champagne?
  • 193:39 - 193:43
    No, thank you. l'll wait.
  • 193:43 - 193:45
    Very good, madam.
  • 195:05 - 195:07
    (Footsteps approach)
  • 195:09 - 195:11
    Phil!
  • 195:20 - 195:22
    l was in court.
  • 195:22 - 195:24
    l've come to tell him that he lost the case.
  • 195:26 - 195:28
    Come to tell him?
  • 195:28 - 195:30
    He didn't turn up.
  • 195:34 - 195:37
    Don't just stand there
    as if you were made of stone!
  • 195:39 - 195:41
    l wish to God l were.
  • 195:41 - 195:43
    l was here first!
  • 195:45 - 195:47
    What?
  • 195:47 - 195:49
    You have no right to come.
  • 195:53 - 195:55
    l have left Soames...
  • 195:56 - 195:59
    ..just as you always wanted.
  • 195:59 - 196:00
    Hm.
  • 196:00 - 196:03
    Presumably before you knew he'd won the case.
  • 196:03 - 196:05
    l do not care about the case.
  • 196:05 - 196:08
    You have that luxury. Phil does not.
  • 196:08 - 196:11
    He has a talent. He can start again.
  • 196:11 - 196:14
    - Where? How?
    - We will find a way.
  • 196:16 - 196:18
    We?
  • 196:19 - 196:22
    You have been a false friend to me.
  • 196:23 - 196:25
    What did you used to tell me?
  • 196:27 - 196:30
    ''You cannot force love where there is none.''
  • 196:32 - 196:35
    You said Soames tried to buy me body and soul.
  • 196:35 - 196:39
    Had you stayed with Phil,
    you would be guilty of the same.
  • 196:39 - 196:42
    Don't you dare compare me to Soames.
  • 196:42 - 196:44
    Then why are you here?
  • 196:44 - 196:46
    Hm?
  • 196:48 - 196:53
    Why now, if not to offer help
    when you know he'd find it hardest to refuse?
  • 196:53 - 196:56
    Oh...look at you...
  • 196:58 - 197:00
    So composed,
  • 197:00 - 197:02
    so gentle...
  • 197:03 - 197:07
    You have the softest voice,
    and yet you say the cruellest things.
  • 197:11 - 197:13
    l don't...mean to be cruel.
  • 197:14 - 197:17
    - Your friendship...
    - Don't talk to me of friendship!
  • 197:17 - 197:20
    Your friendship saved me, June.
  • 197:20 - 197:22
    And yours has ruined my life.
  • 197:25 - 197:27
    lt will ruin his too.
  • 197:30 - 197:32
    l love him.
  • 197:32 - 197:35
    You know nothing about love.
  • 197:35 - 197:37
    You have no passion,
  • 197:37 - 197:39
    no feeling.
  • 197:40 - 197:45
    l want to slap you, shake some life into you,
    and into Phil for being taken in by you.
  • 197:45 - 197:46
    - You are a leech!
    - Stop it.
  • 197:46 - 197:49
    You've no life about yourself,
    so you suck it out of everybody else!
  • 197:49 - 197:51
    Agh!
  • 197:57 - 198:00
    Perhaps he's wiser than we think.
  • 198:00 - 198:02
    Perhaps that's why he's gone.
  • 198:03 - 198:05
    Well, he wasn't in court. He's not here.
  • 198:05 - 198:08
    Tell me, lrene,
  • 198:08 - 198:10
    where is your lover now?
  • 198:22 - 198:25
    - Good afternoon, Miss June.
    - Thank you, Kate.
  • 198:33 - 198:35
    Ah. Come here, my dear.
  • 198:40 - 198:44
    You haven't seen any of your pals since our trip.
    Used to be so many of them.
  • 198:44 - 198:47
    You should be living.
    You need a family around you.
  • 198:47 - 198:51
    You need life, not rubbing along all alone
    with an old man like me.
  • 198:53 - 198:55
    So...
  • 198:55 - 198:57
    l've decided to retire from London.
  • 198:58 - 199:01
    Your father and his family
    have consented to join me.
  • 199:01 - 199:06
    lt would be my dearest wish
    if you should find it in your heart to come too.
  • 199:08 - 199:10
    l want to put things right.
  • 199:10 - 199:12
    Mm.
  • 199:12 - 199:16
    When l cut Jo off, it's as if he'd died.
  • 199:16 - 199:19
    lt's a terrible thing to lose a child.
  • 199:21 - 199:24
    You'll understand that
    when you have children of your own.
  • 199:26 - 199:28
    Do you have somewhere in mind?
  • 199:29 - 199:31
    There's always Soames' place.
  • 199:31 - 199:33
    - Montpellier Square?
    - Robin Hill.
  • 199:33 - 199:37
    lt's exquisitely done, and stands there empty.
  • 199:37 - 199:39
    Perfect family home.
  • 199:39 - 199:43
    - For the man of property.
    - He'll never live there now.
  • 199:43 - 199:45
    Oh?
  • 199:45 - 199:49
    The case went in his favour,
    but lrene's left Soames at last.
  • 199:53 - 199:58
    lf you bought it,
    you could settle his claim against Phil.
  • 199:58 - 200:01
    Have you been seeing Bosinney again
    after all l said?
  • 200:01 - 200:02
    No.
  • 200:02 - 200:04
    But l have been to his rooms.
  • 200:04 - 200:06
    - June!
    - l want to help Phil.
  • 200:06 - 200:09
    - You want me to help him.
    - lt's the same thing.
  • 200:09 - 200:11
    - Let lrene help him.
    - Gran...
  • 200:11 - 200:13
    l told you to let him go! l begged you.
  • 200:13 - 200:17
    l could have begged you to let my father go,
    but l didn't.
  • 200:20 - 200:22
    lt is a wonderful house. Everybody says so.
  • 200:22 - 200:25
    ldeal for what you want.
    We could be happy there.
  • 200:25 - 200:27
    You think you could be?
  • 200:28 - 200:30
    We would bring the place alive, make it our own.
  • 200:30 - 200:31
    No.
  • 200:31 - 200:33
    - Trust me.
    - No.
  • 200:33 - 200:36
    One day you will forget what Phil has done
    and see only what he created.
  • 200:36 - 200:39
    - No.
    - Gran...
  • 200:40 - 200:42
    - Evening, Bilson.
    - Evening, sir.
  • 200:42 - 200:46
    Would you ask Henry
    if he'd go down into the cellar,
  • 200:46 - 200:47
    and pick out the Steinberg?
  • 200:48 - 200:50
    - The '52, l think.
    - Yes, sir.
  • 200:51 - 200:53
    - A celebratory drink's in order.
    - Sir.
  • 200:54 - 200:56
    ls Mrs Forsyte feeling any better?
  • 200:56 - 200:59
    - Yes, sir.
    - Good. Ask her to join me in the drawing room.
  • 200:59 - 201:02
    Mrs Forsyte went out at noon, sir.
  • 201:02 - 201:06
    She took two bags with her.
  • 201:07 - 201:11
    - Did she leave a message?
    - No message.
  • 201:12 - 201:15
    l made sure to get her a carriage, sir.
  • 201:21 - 201:22
    Thank you, Bilson.
  • 202:34 - 202:36
    (lnhales deeply)
  • 202:42 - 202:44
    Don't do anything rash.
  • 202:44 - 202:46
    Go to Stainer's.
  • 202:46 - 202:49
    lf they can't find her, no-one will.
  • 202:49 - 202:53
    She won't blend easily into the mass.
    Not with her face.
  • 202:53 - 202:55
    She won't come back. l know her.
  • 202:55 - 202:57
    We can still avoid a scandal.
  • 202:58 - 203:01
    - Mr Jolyon Forsyte, sir.
    - What the devil does he want?
  • 203:01 - 203:03
    What can we do for you, Uncle?
  • 203:03 - 203:05
    l hear the new house is a white elephant.
  • 203:05 - 203:07
    l beg your pardon?
  • 203:07 - 203:09
    What l was thinking was,
    if you're not going to live there...
  • 203:09 - 203:11
    Who told you that?
  • 203:11 - 203:12
    Ah...
  • 203:13 - 203:17
    l'm thinking of a place in the country,
    and l'd look at it myself for the right price.
  • 203:17 - 203:18
    (Knocking at door)
  • 203:19 - 203:22
    - Yes, Gradman?
    - Sorry to interrupt, Mr James, sir.
  • 203:22 - 203:25
    Mr Soames, sir,
    there's a policeman here to see you.
  • 203:53 - 203:56
    Can you identify the body, sir?
  • 204:01 - 204:03
    That is Philip Baines Bosinney.
  • 204:03 - 204:06
    JOLYON: The poor buccaneer.
  • 204:12 - 204:14
    She'll be waiting for him.
  • 204:16 - 204:18
    June? Hm.
  • 204:34 - 204:36
    He's been lying here since last night.
  • 204:36 - 204:40
    There was nothing to identify him
    apart from the court papers.
  • 204:40 - 204:44
    - No possessions of any value.
    - The Times mentioned a man dead.
  • 204:44 - 204:46
    lt's a wonder more weren't killed.
  • 204:46 - 204:49
    The driver says the fog was not so thick there,
    sir.
  • 204:49 - 204:51
    So Bosinney could have seen him?
  • 204:51 - 204:54
    He would have had more time
    to see what he was about.
  • 204:55 - 204:57
    Unless his mind was elsewhere.
  • 204:57 - 204:59
    lt was that all right.
  • 204:59 - 205:03
    He tipped up at the office,
    ranting and raving like a loon.
  • 205:03 - 205:06
    - When was this?
    - Yesterday afternoon.
  • 205:06 - 205:08
    Sir?
  • 205:09 - 205:13
    l wasn't there.
    He was a tempestuous fellow, certainly.
  • 205:13 - 205:16
    What you might call an artistic temperament.
  • 205:17 - 205:20
    We found some pawn tickets
    at Mr Bosinney's rooms.
  • 205:20 - 205:24
    His account at the bank is overdrawn.
  • 205:24 - 205:27
    Legal defence doesn't come cheap.
  • 205:27 - 205:30
    Everyone knew defeat would ruin him.
  • 205:32 - 205:34
    Anxiety about the verdict...
  • 205:34 - 205:36
    financial pressures...
  • 205:36 - 205:38
    fears for his future and so on...
  • 205:38 - 205:43
    lt seems quite likely
    the balance of his mind was upset.
  • 205:43 - 205:45
    Suicide?
  • 205:49 - 205:51
    Well, he was a tempestuous fellow.
  • 205:51 - 205:54
    He was passionate, talented...
  • 205:54 - 205:57
    A man with everything to live for.
  • 206:01 - 206:02
    ls that all?
  • 206:02 - 206:04
    Thank you, sir.
  • 206:34 - 206:37
    - Can l come in, June?
    - Yes, Gran, come in.
  • 206:53 - 206:55
    l'm sorry, madam, you can't come in here.
  • 206:55 - 206:57
    ls Mr Bosinney here?
  • 206:57 - 206:59
    Mr Philip Bosinney.
  • 206:59 - 207:01
    He's a member here.
  • 207:01 - 207:03
    l know.
  • 207:03 - 207:05
    lf you'd care to wait there, madam...
  • 207:23 - 207:26
    Madam! Excuse me?
  • 207:26 - 207:28
    Madam!
  • 207:29 - 207:30
    Good Lord! What's going on?
  • 207:30 - 207:34
    l'm looking for Mr Bosinney, Mr Philip Bosinney.
  • 207:34 - 207:36
    Madam, you should not be here.
  • 207:36 - 207:39
    Why the devil is she up here?
  • 207:39 - 207:41
    Phil!
  • 207:41 - 207:44
    Madam, l asked you to wait in the foyer.
  • 207:44 - 207:46
    - l was simply...
    - Ladies are expressly forbidden...
  • 207:46 - 207:48
    There is no need for this tone.
  • 207:48 - 207:51
    Jolyon, they won't tell me if Phil is here or not.
  • 207:51 - 207:53
    Mr Bosinney, sir.
  • 207:53 - 207:56
    - Get her a brandy.
    - l...l don't wish to have a brandy.
  • 207:56 - 207:59
    - Come and sit down.
    - The rules state...
  • 207:59 - 208:01
    Get her a brandy.
  • 208:01 - 208:03
    Come and sit down, lrene.
  • 208:04 - 208:08
    Gentlemen, would you mind leaving us?
  • 208:08 - 208:10
    Please!
  • 208:20 - 208:22
    There was an...accident last night.
  • 208:25 - 208:27
    Bosinney...
  • 208:29 - 208:31
    ..was knocked over in the fog...
