Transcript

00:00Ms. Gladys!

00:09Ms. Gladys?

00:20She's not in the ballroom or any of the rooms on that floor.

00:23She's nowhere to be found, Mr. Church.

00:26Who will tell the mistress?

00:30Mother?

00:38Mother, wake up!

00:40What is it?

00:41Gladys is missing.

00:42Her maid went to her room this morning.

00:44The bed hasn't been slept in.

00:45They've checked the whole house.

00:46You don't think she's eloped?

00:48Oh, my God.

00:49Did she say anything to you?

00:51No.

00:52But if she has run away, it's because you left her no choice.

00:54You're blaming me?

00:55How will that help find your sister?

00:57Should we contact the police?

00:58Of course not.

00:59Madame, this just arrived for you?

01:09I need to get dressed.

01:10What does it say?

01:11It says where your sister's been all night.

01:12Where are you going?

01:23The servant's entrance.

01:25No, we have been asked to come here.

01:26We are going through the front door.

01:28Arthur, please, let's not make a fuss.

01:29We need to see our door.

01:31Don't you go down those stairs.

01:33Oh, Dr. Kirkland.

01:39Mrs. Scott.

01:40You are very punctual.

01:42Thank you for coming.

01:43Thank you for coming.

01:44Of course.

01:46Shall we go in?

01:47Yes.

01:50Mrs. Van Ryn is expecting you.

01:52Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Scott.

01:54I do wish this were under happier circumstances.

01:58Thank you for sending force.

01:59And of course, this is good of you, Dr. Kirkland.

02:02We're so grateful.

02:03You have Mr. Scott to thank.

02:05I have a mixture here.

02:07Mrs. Van Ryn wrote that Peggy had a cough.

02:11It's muriate of morphia, powdered acacia, and sub-nitrate of bismuth.

02:16It will help.

02:17I'd also like some hot water for her feet.

02:19I'll ask the footman to take up a bath, and our maid will bring the hot water.

02:23Marion, show Dr. Kirkland the way to Miss Scott's room.

02:26Of course.

02:27Will you come this way, Dr.?

02:27Please.

02:28We can wait in here.

02:29I'm afraid that he's room to be fourth.

02:31That's my order.

02:34There were two cold men in the hall, the doctor and Miss Scott's father.

02:44Well, I've seen it all now.

02:46Miss Scott saved your job out of Christian kindness, and you have nothing in your heart but prejudice.

02:52The world I have lived in since I was born has been turned on its head.

02:56Can you blame me if I'm shocked?

02:57Yes, Miss Armstrong, I can.

02:59I'm only saying what everyone is thinking.

03:03I wasn't thinking that.

03:03No one is thinking that.

03:05But surely...

03:06That's enough.

03:07I don't want to hear another word out of your mouth unless it's something nice, which it never is.

03:11So I trust you'll keep it shut.

03:14Are you going to let her speak to me in such a manner?

03:17Hmm?

03:18Yes, I believe I am.

03:19We're so grateful Dr. Kirkland was able to treat her.

03:25Yes, and I'm deeply ashamed that our doctor refused.

03:29He's taken care of my family for years, so I was rather stunned.

03:33Why would you be stunned?

03:35Arthur.

03:37You're a wise woman.

03:39You know how the world works.

03:41I suppose so, but it still saddens me.

03:43It is not how we were raised.

03:45Our father was a patron of the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia where Miss Scott studied.

03:51Yes, she told us.

03:52Any word on Peggy?

03:54Not yet.

03:55I'm just going down to ask for more hot water.

04:00He's a good doctor.

04:02I know he is.

04:03That's her now.

04:09This is not how I meant for our engagement to be.

04:11My mother left us no choice.

04:13What if she thinks I kidnapped you in the night?

04:15I'll tell her it was all my doing.

04:17She has to grasp that I mean to stand up to her.

04:19That we both will.

04:23Please.

04:24Billy, we must be strong and united.

04:27I do love you.

04:28Your mother's here.

04:31Mother?

04:32Mrs. Russell, we took good care of Gladys.

04:35It was two when she arrived.

04:37They had to wake me up.

04:38It seemed too late to send her back.

04:40Of course.

04:40I made sure my footman took the message first thing this morning.

04:43It was kind of you to look after her.

04:45I want to stay here until Father...

04:46Wait for me in the carriage.

04:48But I...

04:48Now, Gladys.

04:49They were never alone.

05:02I made sure of that.

05:04You have nothing to fear.

05:05I woke to find my daughter gone.

05:06A nightmare for any parent.

05:08She was at the breaking point when she came.

05:10I nearly sent for a doctor.

05:12But not for her mother?

05:13I suggested that.

05:15But you can imagine her reaction.

05:17It's a family matter, Mrs. Carlton.

05:19Mrs. Russell, won't you sit down?

05:22Can't we start again?

05:23Meaning what, exactly?

05:30I know Billy got off on the wrong foot,

05:32but the children seem well suited.

05:35Not to me.

05:36I hesitate to pull rank,

05:38but my great-grandfather signed the Declaration of Independence.

05:41What were your ancestors doing then, I wonder?

05:45I thought you understood that Gladys is about to be engaged.

05:48It isn't what Gladys said.

05:50Well, according to you, she was out of her mind.

05:54What if they can't be stopped?

05:56But they can.

05:57And they will be.

05:59Good day, Mrs. Carlton.

06:00Doctor, how's Piggy?

06:24We must act fast, or it may turn into pneumonia.

06:27She should be kept warm.

06:30I've asked Miss Brooke for more blankets,

06:31and she needs to keep drinking.

06:33Our cup can make some broth.

06:35I'd like to check back in a few hours

06:37and look again tomorrow.

06:38We'd prefer to take her home,

06:39and you can visit her there.

06:41I don't advise moving her not into the cold

06:43for a long ride.

06:44She'd be better off staying here.

06:46We'd feel more comfortable

06:47to have her back in Brooklyn, where you can...

06:49With Mrs. Van Ryn's permission,

06:50she will stay here until you say otherwise.

06:53I'll see you later on, if that's all right.

06:55It's more than all right.

06:57Thank you for everything, William.

06:59We are certainly in your debt.

07:09We weren't expecting you to return so soon, sir.

07:12I have some business that needs my attention.

07:15I'm going up to change.

07:17J.P. Morgan will be here later for a meeting.

07:19Very good, sir.

07:21Where's Mrs. Russell?

07:21She had an urgent matter to seek to

07:24concerning Miss Gladys.

07:26What do you mean?

07:28Mrs. Russell will explain, sir.

07:32A panic's coming.

07:35It's only a matter of time.

07:37Stocks are plummeting.

07:40There's a new firm going under every day.

07:42Grant and Ward just collapsed.

07:46Metropolitan isn't alone.

07:48I couldn't let it fail, saying he was innocent.

07:52And as you just said, run on a bank can be contagious.

07:56I'd have lost more than I care to admit.

07:59Well, if I have you in my debt,

08:02then I have grounds to ask a favor.

08:04My trip out west wasn't about buying copper mines.

08:07I said that because...

08:07Because you wanted me to believe it.

08:09What really you were after was the land that went with the mines.

08:12I have a vision.

08:16A railroad that will transform this country.

08:19And perhaps the world.

08:21An illusory vision.

08:23I want to connect all the major cities of America

08:25to create a continuous line

08:27from New York to Chicago

08:29and then from Chicago to California

08:30without ten stops along the way.

08:33It can be done.

08:34Perhaps.

08:35But you say it too easily.

08:39This will be a feat to rival Moses parting the Red Sea.

08:43You think you have a problem getting around Morenci.

08:49Well, till you start trying to rearrange Chicago.

08:52It's ambitious, yes.

08:55But neither of us would be who we are today without ambition.

08:59This line will be built.

09:02It must be.

09:03The only mystery is who will do it.

09:07Your scheme will cost more money than I know you have

09:12and your timing couldn't be worse.

09:14It's true.

09:16I can't do this alone.

09:19The risks are enormous.

09:22But if we succeed,

09:25the rewards will be enormous too.

09:29All right.

09:30I'll do what I can.

09:31But if you fail,

09:34you're on your own.

09:34Was she trying to win us over

09:41with talk of her father in the Institute?

09:43I don't know.

09:45Maybe she wants you to think well of her.

09:50Since when have they cared about any of us

09:52except when it comes to our ability

09:54to cater to their every need?

09:56We don't know Mrs. Van Ryn.

09:58Mm-hmm.

09:58And apart from our daughter,

10:00we are likely the only colored people

10:03she has had in her home.

10:04Even so,

10:08Peggy wouldn't have gotten this sick

10:09if she was under our roof

10:10and we were looking after her.

10:11But this is where she has chosen to be.

10:14And Mrs. Van Ryn is kind to her.

10:16Mm-hmm.

10:16I feel safer knowing our daughter

10:19is living in that house

10:21if she's not with us.

10:23Mm-hmm.

10:23But we can't blame her

10:24for the ills of society.

10:26And at least she invited us

10:28through her front door.

10:29Which you didn't want to go in.

10:31But we did.

10:33Now, Decan,

10:34we leave it at that.

10:36And it's just for today.

10:39Good morning.

10:57Father, you're home.

10:59Well, you left me no choice.

11:00You don't listen to me.

11:02George,

11:03when did you get back?

11:05This morning.

11:06I'm sorry.

11:06I should have sent a telegram.

11:08Was that Mr. Morgan outside?

11:09It was.

11:10We had some business,

11:11but it's taken care of.

11:13And now I'm home.

11:14I'm glad.

11:15Have you seen this?

11:17I can't control what they write.

11:18I assure you,

11:19the last thing I want

11:20is for our lives

11:21to be gossip column father.

11:23Besides,

11:23Hector has a right

11:24to a modicum of privacy.

11:25And I have a right

11:26not to be sold at auction

11:27to the highest bidder.

11:28What is this about?

11:28She's being hysterical.

11:29You say that

11:30because you've been caught out.

11:31Don't think just because it's,

11:32it's in print,

11:33it's a fait accompli.

11:33He's your duke.

11:34And you can entertain him

11:35on your own.

11:36Gladys has a right.

11:37And I, as her mother,

11:38I have to...

11:38Isn't this a lovely welcome home?

11:40Father, I prayed

11:41you'd come back early

11:42and rescue me.

11:43Rescue you from what?

11:44Mother's plotting.

11:45Look,

11:46the paper says we're engaged.

11:49But I don't even know him,

11:50not really.

11:53How did they get the story?

11:55People gossip

11:56and they print it.

11:57The story we should be worried about

11:59is your daughter's midnight escape.

12:01What?

12:01She ran off to Billy Carlton's

12:03and frightened us to death.

12:04I had to.

12:05There was no other way.

12:07You weren't here to protect me.

12:08From your own mother?

12:09Yes.

12:10Stop being theatrical.

12:11I only want to live my own life.

12:12It's not that much.

12:13Enough.

12:13I have been traveling all night

12:16and in meetings all morning.

12:18Let us calm down

12:20and reconvene

12:21in a more civil atmosphere.

12:23You look tired.

12:32I hope the trip was a success.

12:35I have piqued Mr. Morgan's interest.

12:37Good.

12:38And I need your help.

12:39If her antics leak to the paper,

12:41she'll ruin everything.

12:45You've put her in this position.

12:46A position that will make her

12:47the envy of every woman living.

12:50And to make her life a misery.

12:51Is that what you want?

12:53When there are children,

12:55they will be among

12:56the highest ranking people on earth.

12:58Do you really want that

12:59wrecked by Billy Carlton?

13:01I said she could marry for love.

13:04George, I'm building her future.

13:06A golden life.

13:08Isn't that worth more

13:09than a hasty promise?

13:10They got back to you there?

13:18They did.

13:20And was it bad news?

13:22It was.

13:24But not for me.

13:26Well, if you don't want to say...

13:29Oh, forgive me, Mr. Church.

13:30I don't mean to be elliptical.

13:32My wife is dead.

13:33I'm very sorry to hear it.

13:37Well, we were separated for years.

13:39Many years.

13:41Have you told Mrs. Bruce?

13:45I'm just waiting for the right moment.

13:46Oh, you've come home.

14:00Only to get some clothes.

14:02I wrote to you at the club.

14:03I know.

14:04Then why didn't you answer?

14:06We are hosting the Young Women's

14:08Christian Association benefit this Friday.

14:11I've been making excuses

14:12for your absence for weeks.

14:13It's getting rather tiresome.

14:15Oh, I'm sure it's tiresome.

14:16But I've told you what I want.

14:18But if you won't answer my letters...

14:20The truth is, Aurora,

14:21you will not convince me

14:22to change my mind.

14:23Our marriage is over.

14:25You do understand

14:27that I will be finished

14:28when the news gets out?

14:29I should have sent Robeson

14:30for the clothes.

14:31I will next time.

14:32You'd prefer to send your valet

14:34rather than risk being in my presence?

14:36Please don't make me say

14:37things I'll regret.

14:38I want a divorce.

14:39I need you to accept that.

14:41I'm to accept the end of my world

14:43with the sky crashing

14:45to earth in flames.

14:49Don't you care at all?

14:57Break the rosary in a pearly rain

14:59and gather what we let fall.

15:02What is this?

15:03Do I sense a rebellion in our midst?

15:06I've asked to see the staff.

15:08May still be part of a mutiny.

15:11What is it about, Aunt Ada?

15:12You are not giving

15:15the president's annual message.

15:17Just talk.

15:20Good afternoon.

15:22You will all see my signature here

15:25on this pledge for temperance,

15:27which is a cause I support

15:29in memory of the late Reverend Forte.

15:32We have sickness in our house.

15:34Is this really the time

15:36to bother them with this poppycock?

15:38Miss Scott remains in my prayers,

15:40and she supported my meeting.

15:42Did you give her any choice?

15:46I am asking all members

15:48of this household

15:49to join me in taking the pledge.

15:52I'm sure I need not explain

15:55the merits of temperance to you all.

15:57Ada, now you have gone too far.

16:00Agnes, what do you think

16:01our temperance meeting was about?

16:04Mrs. Graves told us...

16:04I stopped listening to that woman

16:06the moment she opened her mouth.

16:08You cannot force my staff.

16:09Our staff.

16:11My staff.

16:12Actually.

16:13And I'm not forcing anyone.

16:15It is up to them

16:16to make their own choice.

16:18As long as it is.

16:19As I was saying,

16:22the pledge hereby reads,

16:26we agree

16:26that we will not buy,

16:29sell,

16:30or drink

16:30intoxicating liquors,

16:33and we will use

16:34our best endeavors

16:35to prevent the sale

16:37and use

16:38of the same

16:39by others.

16:43Take charge of it,

16:44Bannister.

16:49While His Grace the Duke

16:52is in New York,

16:53he will be entertained

16:54by Mr. and Mrs. George Russell.

16:56But will he soon

16:57be more than a guest?

16:58Do you think that's

16:59what drove Miss Gladys

17:00to run away?

17:01It's not our place to comment.

17:03Her wedding would affect us all.

17:05If she moves to England,

17:06who will go with her?

17:07She'll need a maid.

17:08I wonder if they'll

17:09hold the reception here.

17:10What do you think,

17:11Mr. Church?

17:12The mistress will have

17:13a plan prepared.

17:14She usually does.

17:15Well, I feel sorry

17:15for Miss Gladys.

17:17Really?

17:18She'll be famous

17:19around the world.

17:19Her picture will appear

17:21in every paper.

17:22Her clothes will be copied

17:24and her jewels.

17:25But she won't have chosen

17:26the man she married.

17:27Plenty of people

17:28who have a free choice

17:29live to regret it.

17:38What are you doing?

17:39I'm going back

17:40over the details.

17:41Why?

17:42You know it works.

17:43Not quite.

17:44I'm sure it will work.

17:45There's a difference.

17:47But Mr. Larry

17:48wrote to me today.

17:50He wants me at the meetings.

17:51Of course you must be there.

17:54He was foolish

17:54not to see it before now.

17:56You thought you'd put

17:57your foot in it,

17:58but you were right to ask.

17:59I want to go so bad,

18:00but now that he wants me there,

18:01I feel nervous.

18:03I have to give Miss Ada

18:04an answer

18:05on the temperance pledge.

18:06And not Mrs. Van Ryn?

18:09Mrs. Forte pays our wages

18:10these days,

18:10and that must mean something.

18:11So, what will you do?

18:14Let them fight it out together?

18:16This can't go on.

18:17Would you rather I went up

18:19and had it out with them?

18:20No.

18:21Well, someone has to.

18:23And anyway,

18:23I have a beer most evenings.

18:26Is that unreasonable?

18:28We work all the hours God sends,

18:31and now we can't relax

18:32on our time off.

18:34I don't see how I can refuse

18:35Mrs. Forte when she's been

18:36so kind about the clock.

18:37Mrs. Van Ryn will never

18:39give up her wine.

18:41So it may never come to it.

18:43Eh, Miss Armstrong?

18:44Don't include me.

18:45I've signed it.

18:49Does this mean everywhere

18:50or just in the house?

18:51When you sign the pledge,

18:53you sign the pledge.

18:58You look better

18:59than you did yesterday.

19:00Oh, yesterday's rather blur.

19:03That's due to the fever.

19:05I do remember

19:06my parents were here.

19:07They sent for me.

19:08Do you work with my father?

19:11In the way of things.

19:14My father used to get treatment

19:16for arthritis

19:17at your father's pharmacy.

19:18Often I'd go with him

19:19and watch Mr. Scott

19:20mix up his potions.

19:22When I found out

19:24he owned the store

19:25and heard him advise patrons

19:27about which medicine to take,

19:30my world was cracked open.

19:32I don't recall seeing you

19:37around the store.

19:38I went to school in Philadelphia

19:40so I wasn't there much.

19:45Good.

19:46Now I can listen to your lungs.

19:50Breathe normally.

19:51Sounds better.

20:00But you still have that cough.

20:02How is she today?

20:03Much improved.

20:05Pulse is stronger

20:06and her fever's broken.

20:07But she'll need to rest

20:08for a few days.

20:09We don't want to relapse.

20:11No, that is quite forbidden.

20:12Look what I brought.

20:17Oh, much after.

20:19Just delivered.

20:21We'll celebrate

20:22when you're feeling better.

20:23Your parents mentioned

20:24you're a writer.

20:25Is it an installment

20:26from a novel?

20:27Yes, but I'm very

20:28behind on my work.

20:33May I?

20:34Oh.

20:37Yes.

20:39Sure.

20:42Your mother was very worried.

21:01Only because I'd ruin her plan.

21:06Please don't scold me.

21:07I don't agree with your methods.

21:09Nor your mother's.

21:10But I understand her intention.

21:14And that is to give you

21:15an astonishing opportunity.

21:17But an opportunity for what?

21:19To be one of the most

21:20influential women

21:21of your generation.

21:23I don't want to be influential.

21:25And I refuse to be

21:25mother's project.

21:26Let me be my own person.

21:28Marriage is the one way

21:29you can do that.

21:31And this marriage

21:32would give you the power

21:33to change lives.

21:34You promised I could marry for love.

21:36And I'm in love

21:37with Billy Carlton.

21:38If you and Billy

21:38think the best way

21:39to pursue this

21:39is by running away,

21:40then neither of you

21:41is ready to marry.

21:43What if he were

21:44to ask you now?

21:46You'll be at Mrs. Fane's party.

21:48Very well.

21:50I'll hear his arguments.

21:57I only want

21:57what's best for you.

21:59But you think

22:00that's the Duke?

22:01I think you should consider

22:02all of your options.

22:05Including Hector.

22:05And how is Miss Scott

22:11faring today?

22:12Much better.

22:13It is such a relief.

22:14I'm so pleased.

22:15Our prayers have been answered.

22:17And you will send us your bill?

22:18Mr. Scott has taken care of that.

22:21Oh, good.

22:22Well, Doctor,

22:22we remain in your debt.

22:28Aurora,

22:29I can't help wondering,

22:31does Charles drink?

22:32It could explain his behaviour.

22:35Not in that way.

22:37But it might seem better

22:38if he did.

22:39It would be less

22:39of an outright rejection.

22:41Oh, don't talk like that.

22:42Charles is the fool here.

22:44Bannister,

22:45is there any news

22:46on the pledge?

22:48Will the servant sign?

22:49Well,

22:50Bannister,

22:51please ignore

22:52Mrs. Forte.

22:53Let the matter drop.

22:55I will not let it drop.

22:57This is my staff.

22:58I believe I have a right

22:59to ask for their support.

23:00Mrs. Forte,

23:01ma'am.

23:02And do you have the right

23:03to tell them

23:03what to eat for luncheon

23:04or where to worship

23:05on Sunday?

23:06Well,

23:06I think it's perfectly simple.

23:08Mrs. Van Ryn.

23:10Mrs. Forte.

23:12What is it, Bannister?

23:14I'm very sorry,

23:15but we must know downstairs

23:17who is in charge

23:18of the house now.

23:21Well?

23:22Well, why must things change?

23:23For a very good reason.

23:25That is,

23:27I,

23:29uh,

23:29you are quite right,

23:31Bannister.

23:31Things have changed.

23:34Mrs. Forte is the head

23:35of the household now.

23:37Well,

23:37in a way,

23:38I suppose

23:39Mrs. Forte

23:40will give the orders

23:41from now on.

23:46Thank you,

23:47Mrs. Vane.

23:48I will tell them

23:49they will be relieved.

23:51Thank you,

23:51Bannister.

23:54It's good

23:57to have a decision.

23:59Hmm,

24:00but can we live with it?

24:02I need a decision, too.

24:04I can't cancel

24:05the benefit this late.

24:06But what excuse

24:08will I make

24:08for Charles' absence

24:09in our own home?

24:11Say he is ill.

24:12Lack of moral judgment

24:13is a sort of illness.

24:15I swore

24:15till death us do part,

24:17and I meant it.

24:19Well,

24:19it would be easier

24:20for you

24:21if he were dead.

24:22I'm not sure

24:24how helpful

24:24that is,

24:25Agnes.

24:27But just know

24:29we are very much

24:30looking forward

24:30to your party.

24:32Are you?

24:33I'm not sure

24:34where I am.

24:37The plans

24:37are terrific.

24:38I'm glad to do it.

24:39You've done

24:40so much work here,

24:41but I'll still need

24:42your help

24:42with some specifics.

24:44The key

24:45is the importance

24:46of the escapement.

24:47I'll do the talking,

24:48but you must check

24:49that I don't miss

24:50any details.

24:51Miss Brooke,

24:52can I get you anything?

24:54No, thank you.

24:55I didn't know

24:56you were stopping by.

24:57I came through

24:57the servant's entrance

24:58to see Jack.

24:59We're preparing

25:00for a meeting,

25:00Miss Marion.

25:01I'm sorry to do that here.

25:02I don't mind.

25:03We all believe

25:04in John's clock,

25:05but shouldn't he

25:06be the one

25:07to explain how it works?

25:09Oh, no.

25:10Mr. Larry knows

25:11how to talk

25:11to businessmen.

25:12Jack, the coffee.

25:15I better get this upstairs.

25:17I'll see you again

25:18before the meeting.

25:19Just let me know when.

25:21We're nearly there.

25:23We've got all the sketches.

25:24What else do you need?

25:26Oh, uh, Jack,

25:27we should go over

25:28the presentation

25:28until we know it by rote

25:29and can anticipate

25:30their questions.

25:32Thinking about their questions

25:33makes me nervous.

25:34Just look at you.

25:35You're turning into

25:36a proper businessman

25:37before our eyes.

25:40Speaking of which,

25:41you do have a suit,

25:42don't you?

25:43I do,

25:43but it doesn't fit me anymore.

25:45I'll take you

25:45to my tailor.

25:46I couldn't let you do that.

25:48Consider it part

25:49of my investment.

25:52Jack, the coffee?

25:56May I steal you away

25:58for a moment?

25:58How is Gladys

26:14getting on?

26:15The war continues.

26:17My mother

26:17is a formidable opponent.

26:19What about

26:19Billy Carlton?

26:21Forbidden.

26:22She won't accept

26:23defeat easily.

26:24No.

26:25In fact,

26:25I'm quite impressed

26:26at the strength

26:26of her resistance.

26:28But she sees this

26:29as an existential battle.

26:31Her survival

26:31is at stake.

26:35Mr. Russell,

26:36where are you

26:36taking me?

26:39I need a happy coat.

26:41I should get back

26:42to Miss Scott.

26:43No coat needed.

26:47I was only looking

26:48for a little privacy.

26:50This is not appropriate.

26:57I wanted to kiss you

26:58the moment I saw you,

26:59so it's more appropriate

27:00than kissing you

27:01in front of your cook

27:01and your foot.

27:05You do know

27:06that I'm in love

27:07with you, Miss Brooke.

27:12Where can I take you, sir?

27:14Oh, uh,

27:15right here.

27:16We're getting out.

27:17Goodbye.

27:32I hope you didn't mind

27:33our little scene

27:34with Bannister.

27:35Well, I can't see

27:36why Laura felt

27:37she had to get involved.

27:38But she was right.

27:40It must be very puzzling

27:41for the servants.

27:42Oh, please.

27:42They have food,

27:43lodging,

27:43and pay.

27:44What more do they want?

27:45And very difficult for you,

27:47now that I have the money

27:48and you don't.

27:49I thought you didn't like

27:50talking about money.

27:52Aurora.

27:52Hello, my dear.

27:54Thank you for coming.

27:55Well, of course.

27:57Hello, Agnes.

27:58Ada.

27:58Nina.

27:59Mrs. Fane,

28:00what a pretty dress.

28:01Will Mr. Fane

28:02be joining us today?

28:04Charles sends his apologies.

28:06He's got rather a chill.

28:07Oh, well.

28:08These freezing winds we had

28:10could have killed us all.

28:12He wouldn't let me

28:13cancel the benefit.

28:14How good of him.

28:16And you.

28:17Ladies.

28:20Very well done.

28:22Oh, of course.

28:25Would you ever do this?

28:27Carrie.

28:27Let's go.

28:28Please manage your sister.

28:35Charlie.

28:37Have you met

28:38Miss Gladys Russell?

28:39How do you do,

28:39Miss Russell?

28:40Hello.

28:41Mother wants us to mix

28:42a bit more.

28:44She can be so tedious

28:45sometimes.

28:46She just wants you

28:46to stop talking

28:47to Mr. Burrow.

28:49Is your husband here?

28:51Don't be ridiculous.

28:53That's the kind of talk

28:54she wants for a voyage.

28:57Congratulations.

28:58You've assembled

28:58quite a crowd.

29:00I believe you've

29:01Mrs. Russell to thank.

29:02I do.

29:03They say the Duke of Buckingham

29:05is back in New York

29:06to see Mrs. Russell again.

29:08They all hoped

29:09you'd bring him

29:10with you today.

29:10We are expecting him

29:11tomorrow.

29:12Oh, he's staying with you?

29:14Yes, he is.

29:15Oh.

29:16Well done, Mrs. Russell.

29:19Excuse us.

29:20May I speak with you, Rory?

29:22Yeah.

29:23Did I?

29:24Is he?

29:25I thought that was

29:27just gossip.

29:28We'll talk about it

29:28later, George.

29:34That's smart.

29:36Should the waist

29:36be a bit tighter?

29:37No.

29:38Give him a little more room.

29:40And can you narrow

29:40these lapels?

29:42I like them.

29:44They're too showy.

29:46A gentleman never looks

29:47as if he's trying

29:47to be smart.

29:48He simply is smart

29:49without making any effort

29:51to be so.

29:52Do you wear a handkerchief

29:53in the top pocket?

29:54Not often.

29:55And if I do,

29:57you won't see much of it.

29:59Again,

30:00no signals.

30:02We're after

30:03understated elegance.

30:05It's complicated, isn't it?

30:07Not really.

30:08Unless you're a show-off.

30:10Are you a show-off, Jack?

30:13I don't think so.

30:15But I never had much

30:16to show off until now.

30:17And that'll change

30:19if things go well for us.

30:21Thank you, Mr. Beard.

30:22Of course, sir.

30:26Oscar.

30:27How are you?

30:29Awful.

30:30You don't look awful.

30:31If that is true,

30:32it's all I have in my favor.

30:34Is it the Metropolitan

30:35National Bank

30:35that concerns you?

30:37Because it's up

30:38and running now,

30:38and I'm told it's thanks

30:39to Mr. Russell.

30:40I have no money

30:43in any bank.

30:46I have no clients

30:48because I can't be trusted.

30:50And I live with my mother

30:52and my aunt

30:53who's joined

30:54the Temperance League.

30:56In short,

30:57I am in the innermost

30:58circle of hell.

31:01It's my pleasure.

31:02It's my pleasure.

31:03You find my pain amusing?

31:06Don't pout.

31:07I was so happy.

31:10Why haven't you come

31:13to see me before now?

31:14Why?

31:16To inflict my misery on you?

31:18Because I love

31:19and believe in you.

31:20If I could only take that

31:22to the market.

31:23You can.

31:24I'll write a check

31:24for you to invest,

31:26and when I talk about it,

31:27others will follow.

31:29Would you do that for me?

31:31I'd do anything for you.

31:34I, uh...

31:36I don't know what to say.

31:38Say that you'll

31:39double my money.

31:43I mean it,

31:44and I will.

31:48Only if you'd like

31:50to believe God.

31:51Yes, yes.

31:53Mrs. Russell.

31:55Hi.

31:56I'm glad to see you.

31:58After what happened

31:59the other day,

32:00I wonder,

32:01can we just wipe

32:03the slate clean?

32:04I do hope so,

32:05and I assure you,

32:06Billy will speak

32:07to your husband

32:08properly this time.

32:09He won't make

32:10the same mistake again.

32:11I do not know

32:12how many times

32:12I have to tell you this,

32:13Mrs. Carlton,

32:14but Gladys will not

32:15marry her son.

32:16Isn't it out of our hands?

32:18Let me speak clearly.

32:20If you keep this up,

32:22Mr. Russell will see

32:22that Billy never gets

32:23another job,

32:24and we will disinherit Gladys.

32:27You do that

32:27to your own child?

32:29What sort of a person

32:30are you?

32:31As a rule,

32:31I'm the sort of person

32:32who gets what she wants.

32:36How are you?

32:39I can't see you too.

32:40I can't see you too.

32:41I can't see you too.

32:43Thanks for coming.

32:47Here we are.

32:48Oh, nice to see you, Charlie.

32:50I'm so glad to see you,

32:51you're indeed.

32:52I couldn't hide away forever.

32:55Oh.

32:57Well, you must be pleased.

32:58That everyone's come.

33:00That Mr. Fane

33:01has made such a recovery.

33:04What?

33:05Your husband just came in

33:07with the bell party.

33:09Oh.

33:11Is that Mrs. Lipton?

33:14I thought he was upstairs.

33:16He's been staying at the club,

33:18so I wouldn't catch his cold.

33:20Yes.

33:21That seems rather drastic.

33:24He wanted to be prudent.

33:26Do I gather with all of this

33:28that you'll be spending more time

33:30in Newport?

33:33Are you all right, Aurora?

33:34I think so.

33:36Mrs. Fane,

33:37I hope you don't catch

33:38your husband's chill.

33:42And with that,

33:43I will take my leave.

33:45Yes, of course.

33:46Yes, of course.

33:48That was sudden.

33:50Charles has driven her away,

33:52together with his mistress.

33:53Shh, my dear,

33:54don't let him get the better of you.

33:55He already has.

34:03I'm so glad you've come.

34:05I hope it means you're feeling better.

34:07Excuse us.

34:08How could you have brought her here?

34:11We go everywhere together.

34:13Take her out of my house.

34:14It's my house, too.

34:16And she didn't want to come.

34:17I made her.

34:18And she was right,

34:19and you are cruel.

34:20Get used to it.

34:20We'll be seen all over town

34:22wherever you go.

34:23Come away, Aurora.

34:24Can't you persuade her Aunt Agnes?

34:26I am not your Aunt Agnes anymore.

34:28I shot a peacock once

34:35on a hunting expedition.

34:37Did you have it stuffed?

34:38As I remember,

34:39our chef stuffed it

34:40with figs and brandy.

34:41It was delicious.

34:42But, of course,

34:43I was the butt

34:44of a good many jokes.

34:45Mrs. Russell,

34:46have you met Mr. Merrick?

34:47Oh, you should.

34:48He's so interested

34:49in the new opera house

34:50and such an admirer of yours.

34:52I've seen him at the Met,

34:53but I never had the nerve to speak.

34:55I love your ideas

34:56because they so exactly

34:57mirror my own.

34:59High praise from a man.

35:01More than merited.

35:02Now I ask,

35:03is it true your daughter

35:04is going to marry

35:04the Duke of Buckingham?

35:06If it were,

35:07I suppose you'd disapprove.

35:09Why, I'd say

35:09it would give her a position

35:10from which she can

35:11achieve great things.

35:12I read in the paper

35:13that it's official now.

35:15That article was silly guesswork.

35:16If she does marry him,

35:18what will your title be?

35:19Why would I have one?

35:20Well, there must be something

35:21you call the mother

35:22of a duchess.

35:23One lucky woman.

35:27I admire many things

35:29about the English,

35:30but they can't hold a candle

35:31when it comes to your party,

35:32Mrs. Fish.

35:33Mr. Merrick.

35:40It's happening.

35:42Billy is asking my father.

35:47You're very confident

35:48in the face of the run of banks.

35:50Banks are like women.

35:51Panic at the unimportant

35:53and ignore the essentials.

35:56Mr. Carlton,

35:57can we help you?

36:10Excuse me.

36:12That was peculiar.

36:17Arterton, you know my wife?

36:18I don't mean to interrupt.

36:20I came to say hello to Billy Carlton,

36:21but he seems to have gone.

36:23He's changed his mind.

36:24You don't know that.

36:27Billy.

36:35Billy, what happened?

36:37I couldn't do it.

36:38What?

36:39I couldn't do it.

36:41Good.

36:42Forget about Miss Russell.

36:44They're new money people.

36:45She was using you.

36:46That's what they do.

36:47That doesn't make sense.

36:48You'll find another girl

36:49who won't cost you your future.

36:52I regard it as a lucky escape.

36:55What a ghastly gathering.

37:07It's true that he's coming to New York.

37:10It's true that I've arranged

37:11some parties for him.

37:12What else can I tell you?

37:14Did you think I would just stay in Arizona

37:16until everything was arranged?

37:18George, life goes on

37:19even when you're away on business.

37:20The fact remains,

37:22Billy Carlton has not had an opportunity

37:23to present his argument.

37:25She says she loves him.

37:27Shouldn't we listen to her?

37:29George, she's 18.

37:30She still has her dolls in her room.

37:32She ran away like a petulant child.

37:35Should we let her choose failure over triumph?

37:37She's not choosing failure.

37:39That's where you're wrong.

37:41The whole of New York society

37:42has decided he's coming back here to propose.

37:45Who thinks that?

37:46Mrs. Fish,

37:47Mrs. Astor,

37:48Mrs. Drexel,

37:49Mrs. Van Ransselaer,

37:50all of them.

37:51Because you leaked it

37:52to the newspapers yourself.

37:53The point is,

37:54if we don't announce an engagement,

37:56they'll assume she's failed.

37:57And forever after,

37:58she'll be the girl

37:58who didn't land her duke.

38:00We can say she turned him down.

38:01They'll never believe us.

38:03Even so,

38:06rushing her into it

38:08does not seem right.

38:10George,

38:10I don't expect you to understand this

38:12because you're not a woman,

38:13but I am trying to empower her.

38:15You think you're helping by caving in,

38:18but she's young.

38:19She doesn't know anything about

38:20love or the world

38:22or anything else.

38:25I'm trying to protect her future.

38:28Won't you help me?

38:28Bertha,

38:31you cannot expect her to marry a man

38:34she doesn't like.

38:35She doesn't know him.

38:37If she gives him a chance,

38:38she'll like him well enough.

38:40I just want to know

38:41when I get a say

38:42in our daughter's life.

38:45The day I'm in your boardroom

38:47giving you my ideas

38:48on the railroads

38:49and the steel mills.

38:52Until that day,

38:53I won't question your business

38:55if you don't question mine.

38:58Have you told me everything?

39:01Of course.

39:10You look so nice.

39:13Is there a special occasion

39:14for the dinner?

39:16I think it's really

39:17to welcome the Duke

39:18back to America.

39:19You've been spending

39:20quite a bit of time

39:22with the Russells.

39:23Yes.

39:24And young Mr. Russell

39:27seems very taken with you.

39:30He thinks he's in love with me.

39:32Oh!

39:33Bye!

39:35And how do you feel?

39:39Cautious.

39:39Because you don't share

39:40his feelings?

39:41Because I want to wait

39:42until things in his family

39:43are calmer

39:44and I need to be sure.

39:46But look at Cousin Aurora.

39:48Perhaps it's foolish

39:48to look for certainty in love.

39:50Your Uncle Luke

39:54would say

39:55there's very little

39:56we could be certain of

39:57except God.

39:59So pray

40:00and the right path

40:01will become clear.

40:04Oh!

40:04Hmm?

40:05Which reminds me

40:06you've been hearing me

40:09speak about

40:10the pledge.

40:11Yes.

40:12I just wondered

40:14if you'd given it

40:15any thought.

40:16I have.

40:17but I'm afraid

40:19I struggle to see

40:20what's wrong

40:20with having a glass

40:22of wine at dinner

40:23or Jack wanting

40:24some beer

40:25on his day off.

40:26Mm.

40:27I thought you'd

40:28might say that.

40:29I'm sorry

40:30if that makes you unhappy.

40:33Oh!

40:33The Scots

40:34are upstairs

40:35visiting their daughter.

40:37Oh, I'm glad to hear it.

40:39I should get changed.

40:44Marian!

40:45Do you think

40:47Miss Scott

40:48might sign the pledge

40:49when she gets better?

40:50Maybe.

40:51I should get to the rest

40:52so they don't want

40:52to be late.

40:53Are you going to

40:54harass their Duke

40:55into signing the pledge

40:56as well?

40:58He might be interested.

41:00Please, he's English.

41:01His loyalty is to

41:02the Queen

41:03and to the bottle.

41:04Not necessarily

41:05in that order.

41:09It's Cousin Athena's

41:10women's group

41:11in Newport.

41:12I think you'd enjoy it

41:14and I know

41:15they'd enjoy you.

41:16I suppose I always

41:17think of myself

41:18as a writer,

41:19not a sneaker.

41:20Athena says

41:21that your Tuskegee article

41:23as well as

41:24the excerpt

41:25from your novel

41:26has caused

41:27a lot of chatter

41:28up there.

41:28They want to celebrate

41:30your work

41:31and she'd like

41:32for us to stay

41:32with her.

41:33Us?

41:34Yeah, well, I thought

41:36it'd be a nice

41:37respite for us both.

41:40Ocean air

41:40will do you good.

41:41Dr. Kirkland

41:42said so.

41:43I guess it

41:44wouldn't hurt

41:45and I'd like

41:46to see the ocean.

41:47Will you come?

41:48If I can get away.

41:50And they want me

41:51to speak next month?

41:52Oh, it's an open

41:53invitation.

41:54We can get out

41:55of New York,

41:56we can eat

41:56some good food,

41:58visit family.

41:59You're not working

42:00for the Globe anymore,

42:00huh?

42:01Yes.

42:02Well, I'd have to ask

42:03Mrs. Van Ryan,

42:04but you're right.

42:07When shall we leave?

42:08How is she?

42:29Oh, much better.

42:32Oh, good.

42:33Please, come and sit.

42:38Are you all on your own?

42:40Oh, my sister

42:41is upstairs changing

42:42and my niece

42:43is across the road

42:44dining with our neighbors.

42:48May I ask you something?

42:50We have an invitation

42:52from a cousin in Newport

42:53to take Peggy there

42:55for a while

42:55and I want...

42:56Oh, of course,

42:56you must go

42:57and stay until

42:58she is ready

42:59to come back.

43:01How very gracious.

43:04Mrs. Van Ryan,

43:06forgive me

43:06for saying this,

43:07but your attitude

43:09is not what

43:10we are used to,

43:11especially on Fifth Avenue.

43:13I'm sorry to hear that.

43:15But you know it

43:16to be true.

43:17Maybe,

43:18but it is not

43:18how we were raised.

43:20We were brought up

43:21to be well-mannered

43:22towards everyone,

43:24and that is what

43:25I believe in.

43:26Simple good manners.

43:28I agree.

43:30I'm not convinced

43:31good manners

43:32will prove

43:32an effective cure

43:33for two and a half

43:35centuries of slavery.

43:38No, I suppose not.

43:40And good manners

43:42did not oblige

43:42your doctor

43:43to treat our daughter

43:44when she was

43:44dangerously ill.

43:46I know,

43:47and I'm very sorry

43:47about that,

43:48but I...

43:49You thought he would

43:50set aside his prejudice

43:52because he was frightened.

43:54I don't know.

43:55Maybe,

43:56but I...

43:56I believed he would act

43:58when he saw the urgency.

44:00When did you

44:01see the urgency?

44:06Well, I know

44:07we were slow

44:08to grasp

44:09just how ill

44:10Miss Scott was,

44:11but after I'd seen her,

44:13I did everything

44:14I could.

44:15I'm sure you did.

44:17I know what it's like

44:18when your child

44:19is sick.

44:21I shall never forget

44:22when Oscar was

44:23diagnosed

44:24with typhoid.

44:26He was only ten,

44:27and Mr. Wernrein

44:30was away

44:30and I was here alone

44:32with just the servants

44:34and a doctor

44:34who tried his best

44:36but, of course,

44:38could do nothing.

44:39Well, how terrible

44:40for you.

44:41Was there really

44:42no treatment

44:42to be had?

44:45No, just some medicines

44:46with mercury,

44:48but nothing.

44:49No, nothing really.

44:53All we could do

44:54was nurse him

44:55and pray.

45:00I spent a whole day

45:01thinking that I'd lost him.

45:06I shall never forget it.

45:13I'd say that we've

45:14both had our scares

45:17over the years,

45:18but I think that children

45:19were mainly sent

45:20to frighten you.

45:23Isn't that the truth?

45:25Well, we should be

45:28going, Mom.

45:37Thank you

45:38for your care of Peggy.

45:41I should have known

45:42that as a mother

45:42you would understand.

45:48Goodbye,

45:49Mrs. Van Ryn.

45:51Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Scott.

45:53I'm delighted you could

46:13join us, Miss Brooke.

46:14Larry was kind

46:15to invite me.

46:17Will you see

46:18what's giving your sister?

46:18There's someone here

46:32to see you

46:33and Miss Gladys.

46:35He's waiting

46:35at the servant's entrance.

46:39Thank you, church.

46:44He'll be right outside.

46:45I'll wait for you.

46:53You don't have much time.

47:04I was hoping you'd write,

47:05but this is much better.

47:08Billy,

47:08will you come in

47:10and speak to my father now?

47:11No.

47:14Why not?

47:15Because I don't have

47:16the strength

47:17to fight anymore.

47:23What did my mother say?

47:25It's not what she said

47:26so much as what

47:27my own mother told me.

47:28What does that have to do

47:29with our engagement?

47:31Gladys,

47:31I'm a tiny cog

47:32in the wheel of industry.

47:35I cannot afford

47:35to challenge

47:36the people driving it.

47:38I see your parents

47:39talking with

47:40the biggest decision makers

47:42on Wall Street

47:42and I know

47:44I'm not in that league

47:45and never will be.

47:47You shouldn't be afraid

47:48of my father.

47:49When I'm trying

47:50to thwart his plans

47:51for his daughter?

47:53I've been a fool.

47:56The newspapers

47:57practically say

47:58you're engaged.

47:59It was the main topic

47:59of conversation

48:00at the party.

48:00But I'm not engaged.

48:02And my father promised me

48:03I could marry for love

48:05so you see

48:05I have every right.

48:06Things are different now

48:07and our love

48:07is no longer practical.

48:14The plain truth

48:15is Gladys.

48:16I'm not the man

48:17you need me to be.

48:28Sorry to make you cry.

48:31Please try not

48:32to hate me.

48:33How can I hate you

48:39when I still love you?

48:51I must go.

48:52I'm sorry.

49:18I'm sorry.

49:19There you are.

49:29His grace,

49:30the Duke of Buckingham.

49:32Mr. and Mrs. Russell.

49:34How nice to see you.

49:36I'm sorry I'm so late.

49:37You're right on time.

49:39I hope you had

49:39an easy journey.

49:40It was long

49:41and then we were delayed.

49:44We?

49:44Yes, I brought along

49:45my attorney,

49:46Mr. Dobbs.

49:47You've brought a lawyer.

49:48Well, I suppose we still

49:49have some things

49:50to talk about.

49:52And of course,

49:52you remember Gladys.

49:55Gladys,

49:56we have much

49:57to look forward to.

50:03May I present

50:04Miss Marion Brooke?

50:06Ah, Miss Brooke.

50:07Well, how'd you do?

50:08Why has he brought a lawyer

50:09from England?

50:10What did you promise him?

50:11Nothing.

50:12What did you say?

50:13I only suggested

50:14you may have some things

50:14to discuss.

50:16You shouldn't have suggested

50:17anything at all.

50:18I asked if you had told me

50:20everything.

50:20Well, now I have.

50:23Ditter is served.

50:27Shall we go in?

50:28Father, what does this mean?

50:42I'm as surprised as you are.

50:45But I'll take care of it.
