00:00Footman. Mrs. Fish and Mrs. DePue were quite obliging and all the footmen have come up from
00:0461st Street. I must decide on the service. What's all this? Have you two been here all night?
00:14Not all night. We were out for most of it. We've only just got back. Church, I need you to order
00:21the carriage to take Mr. Larry and Mr. Keene to the station in Providence. Very good, ma'am.
00:25So you're banishing us? Is this what they taught you at Harvard? How to get drunk?
00:30That's a pretty fair assessment when you say so, Malcolm. You find it funnier than I do. Leave it.
00:38Mr. Keene, I wonder if Larry and I could have a few moments together.
00:42Of course. I'll get changed and pack my things, Mrs. Russell. And I'm sorry about the glass.
00:52You can take a cab home when you get to New York. What about the dinner for the Duke? I thought my
00:57presence was required. Not if you behave like this. It's just a glass, Mother. How long
01:04do you plan to keep playing the fool? I don't know. I suppose until it stops being fun.
01:10It's no fun for me, I assure you. I know you despised her. Mrs. Blaine wasn't right for
01:16you. That's all I'll say on the subject. You have to admit you're pleased. She's broken
01:21my heart. I won't admit anything of the sort. I only ever want what's best for my children.
01:28It'll do you good to be away from Newport. There aren't any reminders of her in New York.
01:34Now go and get ready.
01:35You were kind to fit me in before you leave for Newport. You must have so much to do.
01:46We're mainly going for Mrs. Russell's famous dinner. She's really making a splash with
01:51her Duke. I'm sorry you won't be there.
01:54I hardly know her. But Oscar thinks he should have been asked.
01:58I dare say Mrs. Russell had her reasons.
02:00I know he was running after Mrs. Russell's daughter before he met me. So perhaps that's
02:07why. Oscar liked her. But you surely don't want a man who's never been interested in a
02:11woman before. No. Of course not. But I worry about his motives. After all, Gladys Russell
02:19will be very rich. And so will you. Of course.
02:22Is he just a fortune hunter? If he is, he wouldn't be the first. But I don't want to burn my wings
02:31again.
02:33I'm very fond of Oscar. He's clever and funny. And I'm sure he'll do well. But there's no
02:40rush. Take your time in getting to know him. Then come to your own conclusions.
02:45You're right. There's no rush. And I do like him. And now I should be on my way.
02:52Ah, Miss Beaton. I was just seeing her out. No need. I know my way. Thank you, Aurora.
03:01Mr. Fane.
03:07I wish you'd come in earlier. Why? Because I've had a very uncomfortable few minutes.
03:14Oh? She suspects Oscar's motives in his pursuit of her.
03:17I warned you not to get involved. He's my cousin, and I must help him any way I can. And
03:24I think he's really very fond of her. You mean you hope he is?
03:27Am I late? We were sorting out the library. They'll have you beating the carpets next.
03:37Tom, please give Miss Marion some tea, and then would you leave us?
03:42Why must you leave us?
03:43Because I have something to say.
03:45Gracious. Should I leave you too?
03:47No. I want you and Marion to stay. As my niece and nephew, you're the closest I'll ever come to having children.
03:56This is very melodramatic. Are we to witness your will? I'm surprised what you're going to leave will warrant three signatures.
04:03Mama, let her speak.
04:05You all know the Reverend Mr. Forte.
04:10We certainly do. What about him?
04:13Well, the thing is...
04:16This is like extracting teeth.
04:19He has asked me to marry him, and I have said yes.
04:23What?
04:25You heard me.
04:27How lovely.
04:28This is wonderful news.
04:30Yes, I'll ring the bell. We must open some champagne.
04:33You will not ring the bell. We will not open any champagne.
04:36When was this decided?
04:38A few days ago.
04:39When is the wedding to take place?
04:41Next week.
04:42Next week?
04:43God in heaven, why the rush?
04:46I've been waiting my entire life for this. I don't need a long engagement.
04:51Luke's curate will perform the ceremony.
04:53Then we'll return to 61st Street for a modest wedding breakfast.
04:57That sounds lovely.
04:58I'll ask friends and cousins if they can spare the time.
05:01I'm going to ask Bannister and Mrs. Bower, since they've been with us for so many years,
05:06and Bridget will be there to check my appearance.
05:09Do you think Miss Scott would come?
05:10I am sure she would want to, but she's still on her assignment in Tuskegee.
05:14Miss Scott won't be the only one absent.
05:21You're not coming to the wedding?
05:23No.
05:25And just in case there is any misunderstanding, Oscar will not be there either.
05:29Mama.
05:29But I, I had hoped that Oscar would take me down the aisle.
05:34I'd be honored.
05:35My son will not participate in your tomfoolery.
05:38Mama, this is harsh, even for you.
05:40Well, I'll be your maid of honor.
05:42Will you indeed?
05:43You're very calm and collected.
05:45Did you know what Ada was going to say?
05:47Marion encouraged me to tell you.
05:50We hoped you'd be happy for me.
05:52Why, when you're making a terrible mistake?
05:54What do you know about marriage?
05:55Or the duties of a wife?
05:57You're a spinster.
05:59And you've always been a spinster.
06:01Why must you be so unkind?
06:03You're right.
06:03I have a great deal to learn, which I'm looking forward to.
06:08Please don't spoil it for me.
06:11There's a cab outside for Mr. Oscar.
06:18What about you, Bannister?
06:19Did you know Miss Ada is engaged to marry the Reverend Mr. Forte?
06:23Oh, congratulations, Miss Ada.
06:26Do not congratulate her.
06:28I'm sorry?
06:29Rescind your congratulations.
06:30Aunt Agnes, this is silly.
06:32Please do not tell me how to speak to my own butler.
06:35My apologies, Miss Ada, but I must cancel my congratulations at Mrs. Van Ryn's request.
06:42I quite understand, Bannister.
06:43I'm going up.
06:45My head feels like a beating drum.
06:51I am so sorry, Aunt Ada.
06:54Perhaps she'll come around.
07:03Oh, dear.
07:04Don't weaken.
07:06Not when your happiness is close enough to touch.
07:10But Agnes...
07:11Aunt Agnes is strong.
07:13She'll get used to it.
07:15She can punch nails through a wall with her bare hands and not notice.
07:18She could certainly punch me through a wall.
07:21And it sounds like she intends to do just that.
07:31Is it your goal to work at a hotel?
07:34I hope so.
07:34When I passed the test to get into Tuskegee, I thought now I can learn a trade.
07:40So I won't have to look after white folk cheering for the rest of my life.
07:43But in order to do that, you'd have to move to the city.
07:46I don't mind.
07:47Oh, well, what's David have to say about it?
07:50We ain't got married yet.
07:54I'd like to be on my own for a bit.
07:57Like Miss Scott.
07:58She gets to travel for her work all the way from New York.
08:03How you get your job?
08:05Well, I went to school, studied, worked hard, sent out plenty of query letters.
08:10Mr. Fortune made me an offer, and here I am.
08:13You're lucky to be from the North.
08:16You should come back and teach a newspaper-back class down here.
08:19Yeah.
08:19Oh, yes.
08:20Oh, tell us about New York City.
08:22Go ahead.
08:23Go on.
08:24Well, it's very big and busy.
08:28I like your menu, Borden, but I'm not sure we're quite there with the savory.
08:32The Duke is English.
08:33I thought he'd like deviled kidneys.
08:34Possibly, but I doubt our American guests would.
08:37Have you enlisted all the chefs you'll meet?
08:39I've taken on five, and I've tested them all.
08:44I think we'll use the Bernardo China with the San Luis Glass.
08:47Very good, madam.
08:49The Duke's room is ready if madam would care to inspect it.
08:52So is the room for his valet.
08:54And don't forget the flowers.
08:56Mrs. Bruce, my one remaining worry is Adelheid.
08:59She tries her best, but her skill with the tiara is limited.
09:02She's perfectly adequate as a maid for Miss Gladys, but I need more.
09:05She was only ever meant to be temporary while we found a successor to Miss Turner.
09:09But here we are months later, and I've done nothing to find a new one.
09:12It's entirely my fault.
09:13I can make inquiries in the town.
09:15Do that.
09:16We have a few days yet, but nothing must go wrong.
09:19Of course, ma'am.
09:22Are you all right?
09:26You seem a little forlorn.
09:28You can read me so well, Miss Beaton.
09:31I'm in the middle of a family drama.
09:33Can I help?
09:35Not really.
09:36My aunt is getting married, but my mother has forbidden me to go to the wedding.
09:40Why?
09:41She's taken against him, I suppose.
09:44Oh, how sad.
09:45Your poor aunt.
09:46Miss Beaton, are you a romantic?
09:49What woman is it?
09:50You've inspired me.
09:52I shall defy my mother and go anyway, but only if you'll come with me.
09:57I'd be happy to, especially since you're doing me such a good service today.
10:05Mr. Peter Barnes.
10:07It's good to see you again, Mr. Barnes.
10:08And thank you for letting me drag you away from your duties.
10:11I suppose Mrs. Russell is as demanding as usual.
10:14I'm glad to see you too, Miss Turner.
10:16Or, I should say, Mrs. Winterton now.
10:19But you're right about Mrs. Russell, and I'm afraid I can't stay more than a minute.
10:23How are the preparations going for her dinner next week?
10:31Everyone's in a fizz about entertaining a duke.
10:34Mr. Church more than the others.
10:36You can imagine.
10:37Good old Mr. Church.
10:38Never one to play down his own importance.
10:41But I need you to do me a favor.
10:43A paid favor, of course.
10:45What are old friends for?
10:46You won't be working alone.
10:48Mr. Borden has hired some chefs to help him.
10:52And one of them, a Mr. Schneider, is working for me.
10:57This grows more intriguing by the minute.
11:05Hello, Mr. Crowther.
11:06Ah, Miss Beaton, it's always a pleasure to see you again.
11:09I wish I could believe that.
11:10You must be so bored having to explain the whole thing every time.
11:14That's why I brought Mr. Van Ryn.
11:15How do you do?
11:16He is going to try and stop me feeling like a fool.
11:19I'm not sure he should be here.
11:21You can trust me implicitly.
11:22Please let him stay.
11:29This is highly unusual.
11:32Please sit down.
11:35Can I offer you any refreshment?
11:37No, thank you.
11:38But I'd love to know more about the company.
11:40Ah, here's a booklet if you'd like to read.
11:44I would.
11:44Miss Beaton has told me about your plans to take over the Chicago and Atlantic Railway.
11:50Has she, indeed?
11:51Was I wrong?
11:52Not wrong, exactly.
11:54But it's going through.
11:55Oh, yes, most definitely.
11:57You have all the money you need.
11:59We have nearly all the money we need.
12:00We should reach our target in the next couple of weeks.
12:03And Mr. Gould is satisfied.
12:06Heavens, you are well informed.
12:08I'm afraid I tell him everything these days.
12:11Please don't be angry with me.
12:14I would just ask Mr. Van Ryn to keep silent about any information you may give him.
12:20We cannot risk wrecking the deal at the last moment.
12:22I'll be as silent as the grave.
12:26I promise.
12:28Miss Ada has asked for a tray in her room.
12:31We don't understand.
12:33She's not ill.
12:34She didn't say.
12:35She's well enough to eat.
12:37Shall I tell Mrs. Bower to prepare a tray?
12:39Yes, thank you.
12:44Do you know what this is about?
12:48You are many things, Aunt Agnes, but I'd never describe you as obtuse.
12:52Explain yourself.
12:53It's the way you spoke to Aunt Ada that keeps her in her room.
12:57She's finally found the man she wants to marry.
13:00Can't you just accept it?
13:02You've not forgotten that you live here at my pleasure.
13:04Do you really want to quarrel with your only surviving sibling?
13:08This marriage would be a disgrace.
13:11What would our parents think if I were to say nothing and let this happen?
13:16So you try to please the dead by bullying the living?
13:19Oh.
13:20You might not care what I think or how Aunt Ada feels,
13:24but I'm certain you care what everyone else will say.
13:26And to the outside world, it will seem that you are petulant and angry
13:29because Ada is no longer at your beck and call.
13:38Will Miss Marion also be having a tray in her room, Mom?
13:45Huh!
13:49It is now the largest building in the town of Tuskegee.
13:54Unfortunately, Mr. Porter could not be here.
13:57But we thank him for his generosity and public spirit.
14:01So without further ado, I present to you the A.H. Porter Dormitory.
14:13I'm going to go talk to Mr. Washington.
14:15All right, I'll get some folks.
14:16Oh, David, hello.
14:22Do you mind if I get a few coats for the newspaper?
14:24Not at all, not at all.
14:25So how does it feel to be able to attend class
14:28and live in a building you helped create with your own hands?
14:32It's very moving.
14:34In fact, I didn't expect it to be so emotional.
14:37Getting weepy, David?
14:38I'm proud to know that we really did that
14:44makes me feel like we could do anything.
14:47And what do you plan to do with your Tuskegee diploma?
14:50I'd like to have my own farm so I could support a family.
14:54I met your girlfriend.
14:56I'd also like to use my farm to help out with our family business.
14:59And what's that?
15:00My mama started a restaurant.
15:02I plan on supplying them with the harvest from the crop on the land.
15:05Well, I wish you all the best.
15:07You should visit my mama's place.
15:09Oh, yes, we might take you up on that.
15:10But first, Mr. Washington wants to give us a tour.
15:12Of course.
15:13Thank you again, David.
15:14It was nice seeing y'all.
15:15Take care.
15:16I'll tell my mama to look out for you.
15:17Yes, sir.
15:20Take these for me, would you?
15:25Hello.
15:26Huh, Miss Brooke.
15:30Mr. Russell.
15:32What a surprise.
15:34I thought you were spending the summer in Newport.
15:35Unfortunately, my plans changed.
15:38Unfortunately?
15:39You don't want to hear it.
15:40But I do.
15:42It wasn't very original.
15:44Lovers meet, lovers part.
15:46Boo-hoo.
15:47I know how that plays out.
15:49Of course.
15:50You told me the night of Gladys' ball.
15:52And now we're even.
15:53Twin sufferers on the cool carousel of life.
15:56Let's be comrades in arms instead.
16:00Where are you going?
16:02Just to the park to get some flowers for my painting class this afternoon.
16:05I'll come, too, if you'll have me.
16:10So, what will you do now you're back in New York?
16:13Well, no doubt Father will have some ideas, but we'll see.
16:16Can I help you, ma'am?
16:24I wanted to check that everything is under control.
16:26Certainly, ma'am.
16:28Oh, Mrs. Bruce, have you got anywhere with finding a maid?
16:31We have a hairdresser who will place her tiara and then stay for the rest of the evening
16:35to help any lady whose hair may be in trouble.
16:37I feel like a racehorse approaching the starting gate.
16:39And you'll be a winner, ma'am.
16:40Nothing can stop it now.
16:41Schneider, is that sauce ready yet?
16:52I've got it here for you to taste, Mr. Borden.
17:01Mrs. Bruce, is it true you've hired a new maid?
17:04I was going to tell you, she's only going to arrange the mistress's hair and place her tiara.
17:09I could have done it.
17:10I usually do.
17:11I know, but this is a special occasion.
17:14You'd learn something if you watch.
17:25They told me someone was here, but not that it was you.
17:30Mrs. Nelson is quite the baker, and she insists on bringing me her work.
17:34The taste.
17:35Would you like one?
17:36No.
17:37Is everything all right?
17:38No, it is not.
17:40Sorry to hear that.
17:41Please.
17:46Sit down.
17:56How can I help?
17:57I gather you and Ada plan to marry.
18:02I'm relieved she's told you.
18:04You are aware that she has no money to speak of.
18:06Mrs. Van Ryn.
18:08I love her.
18:10I never expected to fall in love at my age, but I had not then met Ada.
18:14Love seldom survives marriage.
18:16I'm sorry if that was your experience.
18:19But why must you do it so quickly?
18:21Am I to understand that you are against the plan?
18:23How perceptive.
18:26I don't intend to take her away from you.
18:29Ada's with me every day and night.
18:30Are you saying that won't change?
18:32There will be changes, yes.
18:34But I mean to retire in New York.
18:36I will never ask her to leave the city.
18:37Maybe not, but she will be gone from my house, leaving me alone.
18:41Because that is what I will be.
18:43Alone.
18:45You have your son and your niece?
18:47Children marry and go.
18:50Ada.
18:51It's the only family that I could rely on.
18:59It was Ada who was there at Oscar's birth.
19:03We buried our parents together.
19:07She is my only true friend.
19:11We both love Ada.
19:13That is clear.
19:14Then stop being so selfish.
19:16I am not the selfish one here.
19:20And the fact is, you have a choice.
19:22Would you like to be a part of our life?
19:24Or not?
19:26Because I am not going anywhere.
19:28Marriage takes priority.
19:30God's command is clear.
19:31Therefore man shall leave his father and mother,
19:34and shall cleave unto his wife,
19:35and they shall be one flesh.
19:41Have you nothing more to say?
19:42Not if you've given God the last word.
19:47How can I answer that?
19:52How are things in Pittsburgh?
19:54On the brink.
19:55I'll have to go down there.
19:56Where did you want to see me?
19:58I need your help.
20:00You know I'm a trustee of the New Brooklyn Bridge.
20:02Which is almost finished.
20:04Yes, but there seem to be more meetings than ever.
20:06And with Pittsburgh ready to explode,
20:08I wondered if you might represent me.
20:11Now you're back in New York.
20:11Look, I haven't given up on architecture, you know.
20:15Well, this won't take long.
20:16And you've studied engineering.
20:18You can say sensible things.
20:21What are the meetings about?
20:22The final design details.
20:25And we've had some deaths and injuries.
20:27Always part of it, I'm sad to say.
20:29And a chief engineer, Mr. Roebling,
20:32who has not proved satisfactory.
20:34What do you mean?
20:35He's never there.
20:36I'm told his home is an absolute hive of activity.
20:39But if he's working hard,
20:41and I suppose he must be,
20:43why aren't we allowed to question him?
20:46Does he give a reason?
20:47Norman Tate, who manages the trustees,
20:49says it's his health.
20:50He fell ill soon after the building started.
20:53Well, he's done a terrific job.
20:54You can't argue with that.
20:56It's already one of the main sites in the city.
21:00I'll write to Tate and tell him what we're doing.
21:02Let's see what you can find out.
21:05Go to Roebling's house.
21:07Beard him in his den.
21:08I wish you'd let me wear the blue.
21:15No.
21:16This is what I've ordered,
21:17and this is what you'll wear.
21:18What's wrong with the blue dress?
21:20It's not how I want you to look.
21:22It's fussy and girlish
21:23when it needs to be simple and elegant.
21:24So I'm not allowed to dress myself?
21:26You want to look good, don't you?
21:27Last week, the Tribune named you
21:29as one of the best-dressed debutantes of the year.
21:31Do you think those things happen by accident?
21:33I'd still like to choose my own clothes.
21:35But your choice would be wrong, my dear.
21:37Well, happily, you have me to guide you.
21:39Trust me.
21:47I'm sorry
21:48for losing control of my emotions.
21:53If ever there was a time to do so,
21:55I'd say it's now.
21:57But what are we going to do about Agnes?
22:01This is the hardest choice you'll ever face.
22:03But you're not alone.
22:04Luke,
22:06I don't know
22:09if this is the right time for this,
22:12but I also
22:13don't know if there will
22:15ever be a right time.
22:18That's where faith comes in.
22:20Have I told you
22:21that I didn't want to move to New York?
22:24Why not?
22:25Because I loved my parish in Boston.
22:27I asked
22:28if I could stay.
22:29I even wrote to the bishop.
22:31What did the bishop say?
22:33He reminded me
22:33of when Jesus
22:34asks that the cup
22:35be taken from his lips.
22:39We know how that turned out.
22:41Mm-hmm.
22:41Yes.
22:42So I obeyed the order.
22:44And
22:44I had faith.
22:48And
22:48my reward has been
22:50more than I could ever have imagined.
22:52I never dreamt
22:55that I might
22:56still fall in love.
22:59Not now.
23:02But
23:03Ada,
23:05please
23:05don't decide anything
23:07without talking to Marion first.
23:10Yes.
23:11All right.
23:12Mr. Russell.
23:27Ah, Mr. Russell.
23:30What a surprise.
23:32But you got my father's letters.
23:33And we're delighted
23:34to have you represent him.
23:35But I didn't know
23:36you were coming here.
23:37I am Norman Tate
23:38and this is Mrs. Roebley.
23:40I came to pay my respects
23:41to Mr. Roebley.
23:42I gather he rarely comes
23:44to the bridge
23:44or to your office.
23:45I'm sorry to disappoint you,
23:47but
23:47I'm afraid my husband is away.
23:50Um, bridge business?
23:51Not exactly.
23:53He's in Newport.
23:54Mr. Brandon is here, ma'am?
23:56He says that...
23:56Yes, I know about this.
23:58Will you excuse me, gentlemen?
24:01Mr. Brandon,
24:02let's see what you brought.
24:06Does Mr. Roebley
24:07spend a lot of time in Newport?
24:09I believe he's fond of the place.
24:10Even now,
24:12when the bridge is about to open,
24:13how does he manage
24:14the construction
24:14when he's away?
24:15He delegates.
24:17He has his deputies,
24:17his helpers,
24:18and his wife.
24:19She's a good organizer.
24:22She must be.
24:23She knows his way of thinking.
24:26I assume Mr. Roebley
24:27will be there
24:28for the opening ceremonies.
24:29We are marking the occasion
24:30with a reception here
24:32in this house.
24:34I hope you and your father
24:35will come.
24:35But he'll be
24:37at the bridge beforehand.
24:38I doubt it.
24:40And now,
24:40I'm terribly sorry,
24:41but I must go.
24:42I'm sure you understand.
24:44I'll send you notice
24:45of our meetings.
24:45We will erect a pavilion
24:59at the terminal
24:59just here
25:00for the dedication ceremony.
25:03Take these plans now
25:04and alert Mr. Harris
25:05that I will come
25:06to inspect it
25:06at three o'clock.
25:07That should be enough for now,
25:09but you'll have
25:09the final paperwork
25:10on Monday.
25:11Oh, Mr. Russell.
25:14Is this where
25:14Mr. Roebling works?
25:17This is where
25:18the work is done, yes.
25:20But I'm afraid
25:21I have some errands to run.
25:23Has Mr. Tate gone?
25:25He has.
25:26And don't worry,
25:27I'm going too.
25:28Thank you for seeing me,
25:30Mrs. Roebling.
25:30Come in.
25:42Oh, thank goodness it's you.
25:46I've chosen this
25:48and Bridget is going
25:49to cheer it up a little.
25:51We've bought veiling
25:51and some things
25:52for a headdress.
25:53It'll be charming.
25:55Bridget, could you please
25:55give us a minute?
25:56Yes, miss.
26:05I daren't sit
26:06with all these pins.
26:11Who knows if I'll
26:12ever even wear it.
26:15What do you mean?
26:17Perhaps it's time
26:18I face the facts.
26:19What are you saying?
26:21I can't turn my back
26:23on my sister.
26:24So you're going
26:25to give up Luke Forte?
26:27Just to satisfy Aunt Agnes?
26:29No.
26:30Not give up, exactly.
26:32But perhaps if we
26:34postpone things
26:35until Agnes comes around.
26:36You can't live your life
26:38waiting for Aunt Agnes' approval.
26:39But she's so...
26:40No.
26:41This quarrel
26:42is of her making.
26:43You have done
26:43nothing wrong.
26:45I won't let you
26:46spoil your future.
26:47But she refuses
26:48even to be there.
26:49I have no one
26:51to take me down the aisle.
26:53Cousin Daschle
26:54has invited me
26:54to a picnic luncheon.
26:56I'll ask him
26:56to give you away.
26:58Do you think he would?
27:00Oh,
27:01it does sound respectable.
27:03I'll go fetch Bridget.
27:04We need this dress
27:06to be finished in time.
27:10Luke told me
27:11to speak to you
27:12before I made
27:12a final decision.
27:14Now I know why.
27:16Then I'm very glad
27:17I was here.
27:29My, my,
27:30aren't we all
27:31busy little bees?
27:33Jack,
27:33still tinkering
27:34with that?
27:35I believe I've solved
27:36the problem
27:37if you want to try it.
27:38I don't think so.
27:39I'm known for my punctuality.
27:40I don't want to take a chance
27:41on a homemade contraption.
27:44I'll test it.
27:45You will allow me.
27:47Maybe Miss Armstrong's right.
27:49I'll tell you
27:49when I'm ready.
27:51What is it?
27:53I've just pricked myself as all.
27:54Don't bleed on that veil.
27:56You're wasting your time.
27:57Miss Ada doesn't have
27:58the nerve
27:59to marry a man
28:00Mrs. Van Ryn dislikes.
28:01But what if they do marry?
28:03Which they won't.
28:03Mrs. Van Ryn
28:04may not need as many servants
28:05once her sister's gone.
28:07Miss Mary
28:07must all be here.
28:08Won't she wed soon too?
28:10Then what becomes of us
28:11when there's only one person
28:13left to serve?
28:14Maybe Mr. Oscar
28:15will find a bride
28:16and live in the house.
28:18Why don't that?
28:18I suppose you've heard of
28:39Johann Most.
28:40A German anarchist?
28:42Anarchist and man of violence.
28:44He likes to celebrate
28:44the murder of the Russian emperor.
28:46He preaches savagery and violence
28:48to bring political change.
28:50What about him?
28:51He's been in Pittsburgh.
28:53His agents are still there
28:54poisoning the minds
28:56of your workers.
28:57I suppose we shouldn't be surprised
28:58after the Labor Day march
29:00last year.
29:01And the message is simple.
29:03If you want revolution
29:04you must take up your weapons
29:05and use them.
29:07Is Henderson convinced
29:08I wonder?
29:08The leaders go
29:09where the workers take them
29:10and their demands
29:11keep getting louder.
29:12Constant chants of 888.
29:14What's that?
29:15Eight hours of work
29:16eight hours of sleep
29:17and eight hours of
29:18what you will.
29:19It's the what you will
29:20that's proving the sticking point.
29:22Would it be so terrible
29:23for them to have some time
29:24with their families?
29:25Yes it would be terrible
29:26because it would lead first
29:27to lower profits
29:28and finally to ruin
29:29violence, bloodshed and death.
29:31Please don't hold back
29:32on my account.
29:32I mean it.
29:33Any concession now
29:34could only spell weakness.
29:35Weakness is the harbinger
29:36of chaos.
29:38One blink and you'll
29:39lose the war.
29:47Mr. Van Ryn,
29:48I'm not sure about this.
29:50Why?
29:51You're trying to find
29:52the money to complete
29:53your takeover.
29:54I have funds to invest.
29:55What can be the problem?
29:57But this is a closed
29:58partnership with a limited
29:59number of investors
30:00all well known
30:01to each other.
30:03Well, I know you.
30:05You know me and
30:06we both know Miss Beaton.
30:09Just let me invest
30:10and we'll all make
30:11some money.
30:17Well, your picnic
30:18was a wonder.
30:20Not really a picnic
30:21at all, more
30:22an open-air banquet.
30:24Probably.
30:24And now you've
30:27brought me home.
30:28You've gone to so much
30:29trouble.
30:29He likes to take
30:30trouble for you.
30:32Which makes me feel
30:34all the more ungrateful.
30:36I'm afraid I've got
30:37a favor to ask.
30:39Name it.
30:40Would you walk
30:41on data down the aisle?
30:43Antagnus has forbidden
30:44Oscar to, and now
30:45she's wavering.
30:46But if I could say
30:46you'd be there,
30:47it would give her courage.
30:48Of course I will.
30:49And Frances can be
30:52a flower girl.
30:53Could I really?
30:54I'd love the idea.
30:55I'm surprised to hear
30:57Antagnus is against
30:58marriage.
30:59Not for everyone,
31:00just Ant Ada.
31:03That's a relief.
31:04Is Mrs. Roebling here?
31:12I'll announce you, sir.
31:13It's all right, Philip.
31:15I'll deal with this.
31:17Mr. Russell!
31:19I wasn't expecting you.
31:21You weren't expecting me,
31:22really.
31:22Not so soon.
31:26Not without warning.
31:28She knew I would guess.
31:31I thought you might.
31:32May I see the workroom again?
31:41How did you know?
31:44Because nothing made sense.
31:47The deputies who knew
31:48your husband's mind,
31:49his tastes and his ideas,
31:50the person who knew
31:51all that best was you.
31:52And only you.
31:54In all the years
31:55since we started building,
31:57none of the other trustees
31:57ever came to this house.
31:59Not one.
32:01Well, now I have come.
32:04So tell me.
32:06Please.
32:07Where did you study engineering?
32:10How was it possible?
32:11When my father-in-law
32:13was first commissioned
32:14to design the bridge,
32:16my husband and I
32:17went to Europe
32:18to study what it would entail,
32:20stress analysis,
32:22cable construction,
32:24calculating catenary curves,
32:26and the rest.
32:26So you learned those things?
32:28I know it is all considered
32:30beyond the grasp
32:31of a mere woman,
32:32but I did.
32:33Then my father-in-law died,
32:35and my husband was made
32:37chief engineer,
32:38but he fell ill soon after.
32:40And then you took over?
32:42Not at first.
32:43We worked together.
32:45I would deliver his orders
32:46and designs,
32:48but he got worse.
32:50And then it was just you?
32:53Last year,
32:54some of the board
32:54wanted to replace him,
32:56but Mr. Tate and I
32:57persuaded him not to.
32:59So you would continue
33:00in charge of the work,
33:01and Mr. Tate knew.
33:04Several of them knew.
33:05But they couldn't
33:06make it public.
33:07Of course not.
33:11This bridge will be
33:12one of the finest
33:13in the land,
33:14in the world.
33:16You should be proud of it,
33:17but I suppose you can't be.
33:19No one must know
33:20a woman was the engineer
33:21behind the bridge.
33:23They might not even
33:24want to walk across it.
33:25It's a shame.
33:29An unjust shame.
33:35So he proposes
33:36that you should move
33:37to San Francisco
33:38and never see
33:40your daughter again.
33:41That's it, sir.
33:42In a nutshell.
33:44I should be very sorry
33:45to lose you,
33:46but I'm sure you know that.
33:48I've not decided yet.
33:51I told him
33:51I needed to discuss
33:53his offer with Flora
33:54before I made any decisions,
33:55but he says that
33:56she has no wish
33:58to speak to me.
33:59Do you believe that?
34:00I don't know
34:01what to believe,
34:02which is why
34:03I feel I must
34:04hear it from her.
34:05That doesn't seem
34:06unreasonable to me.
34:09There you are.
34:11I'm so pleased
34:12you're here.
34:15I shouldn't be.
34:17Pittsburgh is about
34:18to blow sky high.
34:19Don't think about that now.
34:20Think about it tomorrow.
34:22Right.
34:23Are you ready
34:24to go down?
34:28Guests are arriving
34:29on the oysters
34:30laid out.
34:33These are done.
34:34Welcome back,
34:35Mr. Watson.
34:36Peter?
34:37Where are we
34:38with the first course?
34:39Final touches, sir.
34:40How was your journey,
34:41Mr. Watson?
34:42Very pleasant.
34:43Thank you,
34:43Mrs. Bruce.
34:44I always enjoy
34:45traveling in the
34:46master's private rail car.
34:47I'm sure you do.
34:48coming, sir.
34:53Mr. and Mrs.
35:08Frederick Bronson.
35:10Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Elliott.
35:19Mr. McAllister,
35:20it's so good of you
35:21to come.
35:22I never like to miss
35:23a red carpet,
35:24and certainly not one
35:25which can boast
35:26an English duke.
35:27Yes, where is that duke
35:28of yours?
35:29Don't think we can
35:30claim him as our own?
35:31I would.
35:31He'll be down
35:32momentarily.
35:33Is Mrs. Astor
35:34coming?
35:35She's opened
35:35Beachwood,
35:36so I asked her,
35:36but she made
35:37an excuse.
35:38She's a little
35:39cross with me
35:39right now.
35:40Well, I can
35:41understand why,
35:42but she is
35:43missing out
35:44on what may be
35:45the event
35:45of the Newport
35:46season.
35:47Everyone's talking
35:48about it,
35:49especially those
35:49who weren't invited.
35:51Naturally,
35:51Mrs. Astor
35:52will feign
35:53indifference,
35:53then she'll force
35:54all the details
35:55out of me.
35:55It looks perfect,
36:03and all the
36:04right people
36:05are here.
36:05Even some who
36:06are on the other
36:06side in the opera
36:07war.
36:08My dear,
36:09the way to win
36:10a war is to
36:11bring out your
36:12biggest weapon,
36:13and yours is
36:14the duke.
36:15Now, I hope I'm
36:16happy with my
36:17placement.
36:18I think you
36:18will be.
36:20Is Grace
36:21the Duke
36:22of Buckingham?
36:24Excuse me.
36:25Mrs. Russell,
36:28my room is a
36:28work of art,
36:30and I see
36:30everything's
36:31exquisite here,
36:32too.
36:32We do what we
36:32can, but I hope
36:34we haven't
36:34overwhelmed you
36:34with our guests.
36:35Of course not.
36:37May I present
36:37Mr. and Mrs. Fane?
36:38How do you do?
36:39Mr. Fane.
36:40Mrs. Fane.
36:41Do you think
36:41Newport will live
36:42up to your
36:42expectations,
36:43Duke?
36:44I'm sure
36:44Mrs. Russell's
36:45Newport will.
36:46Well said.
36:46But not our
36:47Newport.
36:50May I present
36:51Mr. and Mrs.
36:52Winterton?
36:53I know the
36:53Wintertons.
36:54I hope I'll see
36:55more of you
36:55while I'm here.
36:56You'll see as
36:57much of us
36:57as we're allowed.
36:59What Mrs.
37:00Winterton means
37:01is...
37:01I don't think
37:01you've met
37:02our daughter,
37:02Gladys.
37:06Miss Russell?
37:07How do you do?
37:09Gladys!
37:11You look...
37:12Oh.
37:13Don't worry.
37:14You're sitting
37:14next to her at dinner.
37:15They're going in.
37:20They're going in.
37:29Something odd
37:30is going on.
37:31I could have sworn
37:31I saw that man
37:32put something in
37:33the sauce
37:33for the first course.
37:37Schneider!
37:39What's he talking about?
37:40I don't know
37:41I don't know
37:41Mr. Bordman's
37:41taste there.
37:44They're revolting.
37:46Everyone,
37:48cancel the first course.
37:50Schneider get away
37:51from that food.
37:51I'll deal with you
37:52later.
37:53I'll tell the
37:53footman.
37:53Gladys.
38:11You're there.
38:12I thought I'd be
38:13with the younger group now.
38:14You're there.
38:23They're seated,
38:40Mr. Borden.
38:41All right.
38:41We must start serving.
38:43This tastes good to me.
38:44We'll start with the soup.
38:45But is it hot enough?
38:46Rather him than me.
38:48Peter, come take this off.
38:53I think Peter and that
38:55man Schneider
38:55are up to something.
38:57They were whispering
38:57before Peter took the soup.
38:58I tasted the soup.
38:59It's fine.
39:00I don't know.
39:00Something's not right.
39:02Who was Peter serving?
39:23I don't know.
39:50I don't know.
39:51Mrs. Winterton, are you all right?
40:05Why shouldn't I be?
40:06You seem rather agitated.
40:08Well, I'm not.
40:13Jerusalem artichoke and truffle.
40:15What a wonderful way to begin.
40:17I'd forgotten that was the first course, but good.
40:20Now, I mustn't monopolize you.
40:23Gladys.
40:25Do you spend a lot of time in Newport, Miss Russell?
40:28My mother seems to like it, so I suppose that's what will happen.
40:31Until you make your own life.
40:33Do any of us ever really make our own lives?
40:36That's a deep question when you've barely begun to eat.
40:39Your wife and daughter seem to have the Duke sewn up between them.
40:43I expect a lot of women here must be rather annoyed.
40:45But I suppose Bertha knows what she's doing.
40:48I think you can safely say that.
40:51Are you sure you want to waste your time on little old people?
40:55Would you rather speak to your other neighbor?
40:57No.
40:57Let Gladys entertain him for a change.
41:00We must hope he finds Gladys entertaining.
41:03Uh-huh.
41:03Oh, everything was delicious, Miss Sturt.
41:12Oh, good.
41:14I hope y'all save room for dessert, because we're giving you the special treatment today.
41:18Oh!
41:18Colored woman newspaper writer.
41:22Now, I've seen it all.
41:24Well, we were quite impressed with your son at Tuskegee.
41:27That's right.
41:27David is my heart.
41:29He's going to do more than I could ever imagine.
41:32Mrs. Sturt?
41:33Mm.
41:33I'll be back with some dessert.
41:36I'm bursting.
41:37Ooh.
41:37I think if we want to leave this place, we're going to have to clean our plates.
41:41I would tell you to loosen your belt.
41:43I wish I had that option.
41:47Has anyone ever been part of an evening as beautifully managed as this one?
41:52How lucky are the people of Newport to number Mrs. George Russell among your leading citizens?
41:59Very lucky indeed.
42:00Mrs. Russell.
42:02Hear, hear.
42:02Hear.
42:02Hear.
42:02Hear.
42:02Hear.
42:03Hear.
42:03Hear.
42:04Hear.
42:04Hear.
42:04Hear.
42:04Hear.
42:04Hear.
42:05Hear.
42:05Hear.
42:05Hear.
42:05Hear.
42:06Hear.
42:06Hear.
42:07Hear.
42:07Thank you all, and thank you to our charming and generous guest of honor.
42:13Ladies, why don't we let the men enjoy their port?
42:23But it was a good dinner.
42:25You must admit that.
42:26I wouldn't admit it if they tore my fingernails off to make me.
42:29So, have you enjoyed yourself on our trip?
42:38Hmm.
42:39More than that.
42:40Huh?
42:41I've been inspired, especially by the female students.
42:45They have such ambition despite their circumstances.
42:48They're fearless.
42:50And so are you.
42:50And so are you.
42:51Oh, am I?
42:53Well, I like that you think that.
42:55But there is so much more I want to do.
42:58My lack of courage keeps getting in the way.
43:01Well, I certainly believe you can accomplish everything you want.
43:04Be.
43:06Hey, B.
43:09Hey, B.
43:13B.
43:17You outdid yourself with this chicken.
43:20him. How may I help you out? Why you sound all formal, B. We've been knowing each other
43:29our whole lives. I am doing business. What can't get you, Mr. Mason? You know what I
43:37like. Why don't you go on back, cook me up something extra tasty. What are you looking
43:47at? Nothing. You calling me nothing? Mr. Mason, don't start. Let me fix you up some chicken
43:53to take home. What if I want to stay and eat it here? Are you trying to tell me what
43:59to do? No, sir. You think things are different now, but they really ain't. You hear me talking
44:07to you, girl? Mr. Mason, come on. Stop it! What'd you say?
44:17No. Let her go. Don't get smart with me. Do you know who I am? They're from out of town.
44:26Shut your mouth. You better sit down, boy. This here's Mason Stark. He's the county commissioner.
44:32Stark? I'm going to have to teach you a lesson so you understand your place.
44:36You better go. Come on, quickly. You can run. I won't find you. I'll go get the rest of my
45:02things. Quickly. Our man will take you to where you can shelter, and tomorrow morning
45:07I'll take you to the first train. I'm so sorry to quit you in this position. We don't
45:12have time for apologies. You need to get on out of here. Take the low road behind the church.
45:32It was a triumph. Congratulations. Thank you. And now, I suppose I must turn my attentions
45:42back to Pittsburgh. What can I do to help? Nothing. But thank you. Do you mind?
45:53So, did you get everything you wanted from this evening? Let's just say we are on our
46:05way. I'm going to bed. Have I told you how lovely you look tonight? Several times. George.
46:22I hired him, so it's my fault. But we avoided a major disaster. Thanks to Mr. Watson's
46:45sharp eyes. And you really think Mrs. Winterton was behind it? Schneider works part-time for
46:51her, huh? And we all know she and Peter Barnes have kept in touch. So, we thwarted Miss Turner's
46:57revenge. I suppose you'll sack Peter Barnes, Mr. Church. How would you say it? Con gusto.
47:03you go.
47:10you
47:15going
47:18yeah
47:30They've gone.
47:50We're safe.
47:54I won't feel safe
47:57until I'm back in the city.
48:00My mother warned me,
48:01but I never could have imagined this.
48:03This is my fault.
48:05I grew up with these people.
48:07I should have protected you
48:08and held my tongue.
48:10But that's not who you are.
48:15And that's not who you are, either.
48:21That's why I hired you.
48:22Will things ever really change?
48:30I don't know.
48:33I don't know.
48:34I'mестиment one.
48:35I can't speak to them.
48:36I don't know.
48:36I'm message.
48:45I can't speak to them.
49:16You ain't here, my dear.
49:31Dad.
49:32Manzeta, you look wonderful.
49:35Doesn't she?
49:36The footman is hailing a cab before your servants.
49:39Oh, good.
49:46Have you changed your mind?
49:48Certainly not.
49:50I've just come down to say goodbye.
49:53Daschle, I see they've made you an accomplice in their betrayal.
49:57She must have a man to give her away, Aunt Agnes.
50:00Surely you can see that.
50:03No.
50:05She can't.
50:06Come on.
50:10We don't want to be late.
50:29At two, Burnister.
50:31I'm going to support Miss Aderman, and I urge you to do the same, or you may regret it for the rest of your life.
50:46You look so pretty.
50:47So do you want it.
50:48Oh, thank you, dear.
50:50Is it a desert out there?
51:08On the contrary.
51:10Aurora and Charles have come with other cousins, and friends of the bridegroom, of course.
51:14And Oscar.
51:18Oscar?
51:19The church is full of flowers and people who've come to witness your happiness.
51:24We should go take our seats.
51:29Thank you, Mrs. Bower.
51:30Thank you, Bridget.
51:32My pleasure, Miss Ada.
51:33You've earned this, Miss Ada, and I wish you happiness.
51:37Real happiness.
51:44How kind they are.
51:51Are you nervous?
51:52Should I be?
51:53I have no idea.
51:56Because I've never been in your position.
51:57I thought no one would come because of Agnes, but they have.
52:01Now I'm just excited and glad.
52:04You're so certain about marrying Luke.
52:06You have no doubts?
52:08No.
52:10None at all.
52:11I hope that's true of me when it's my turn.
52:15Be sure it is.
52:18Marriage is something one should never settle for or talk oneself into.
52:23Yes.
52:25Thank you, Aunt Ada.
52:27We should go.
52:29Yes.
52:35I'm more than Heather, right?
52:37Oscar.
52:39Here I am, Aunt Ada.
52:40Ready to walk you down the aisle, if you'll have me.
52:45I was just going to say the same thing.
52:48I had no one to take me, and now I'm spoilt for choice.
52:52I think Oscar should do it.
52:54If only as a reward for risking Agnes' wrath.
52:59You don't mind too much, do you?
53:00Of course not.
53:02I was.
53:02I don't know.
53:02I don't know.
53:02Oops.
53:03I don't know.
53:04Oh, my God.
53:04Sorry.
53:07I don't know.
53:07I feel like I'm sorry.
53:07I don't know.
53:08Oh, my God.
53:09I'm sorry.
53:10I don't know.
53:11Oh, my God.
53:11Thank you, my dear.
53:41Dearly beloved, we are gathered together with you.
