00:00Ms. Cladis!
00:07Ms. Cladis?
00:20She's not in the bowl room or any of the rooms on that floor.
00:23She's nowhere to be found, Mr. Church.
00:25Who will tell the mistress?
00:30Ms. Cladis is missing, her maid went to her room this morning, the bed hasn't been slept in, and they've checked the whole house.
00:46You don't think she's eloped? Oh my god. Did she say anything to you?
00:51No, but if she has run away, it's because you left her no choice.
00:54You're blaming me? How 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.
01:22Where are you going?
01:23A servant's entrance?
01:24No, we have been asked to come here. We are going through the front door.
01:28Arthur, please, let's not make a fuss. We need to see our door.
01:31Don't you go down those stairs.
01:33Oh, Dr. Kirkland.
01:38Oh, Dr. Kirkland.
01:39Mrs. Scott.
01:40You are very punctual.
01:42Thank you for coming.
01:44Of course.
01:45Shall we go in?
01:46Yes.
01:47Mrs. Van Ryan is expecting you.
01:49Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Scott. I do wish this were under happier circumstances.
01:58Thank you for sending for us.
01:59And, of course, this is good of you, Dr. Kirkland. We're so grateful.
02:03You have Mr. Scott to thank.
02:05I have a mixture here. Mrs. Van Ryan wrote that Peggy had a cough.
02:11It's muriate of morphia, powdered acacia, and sub-nitrate abysmal.
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.
02:23Marian, show Dr. Kirkland the way to Mrs. Scott's room.
02:26Of course.
02:27Will you come this way, Doc?
02:28Please. We can wait in here.
02:29There were two cold men in the hall. The doctor and Miss Scott's father.
02:43Well, 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.
02:55Can you blame me if I'm shocked?
02:57Yes, Miss Armstrong, I can.
02:59I'm only saying what everyone is thinking.
03:02I 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.
03:12So I trust you'll keep it shut.
03:14Are you gonna let her speak to me in such a manner?
03:17Hmm? Yes, I believe I am.
03:21We're so grateful Dr. Kirkland was able to treat her.
03:25Yes, and I'm deeply ashamed that our doctor refused. He's taken care of my family for years, so I was rather stunned.
03:33Why would you be stunned?
03:35Arthur...
03:36You're a wise woman. You know how the world works.
03:40I suppose so, but it still saddens me. It is not how we were raised.
03:44Our father was a patron of the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia where Miss Scott studied.
03:50Yes, she told us.
03:52Any word on Peggy?
03:54Not yet. I'm just going down to ask for more hot water.
03:57He's a good doctor, and I know he is.
04:07That'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.
04:19Mrs. Russell.
04:20That we both will.
04:21Please come with me.
04:23Please.
04:24Billy, we must be strong and united.
04:26Gladys?
04:27I do love you.
04:28Your mother's here.
04:31Mother?
04:32Mrs. Russell.
04:33We 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.
04:41I'm not 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 returns.
04:46Wait for me in the carriage.
04:47But I...
04:48Now, Gladys.
05:01They 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.
05:20Won't you sit down?
05:22Can't we start again?
05:24Meaning what exactly?
05:31I know Billy got off on the wrong foot.
05:33But 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.
05:42What 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.
06:00Good day.
06:01Good day, Mrs. Carlton.
06:02Doctor, how's Piggy?
06:24We must act fast, or it may turn into pneumonia.
06:28She should be kept warm.
06:29I've asked Miss Brooke for more blankets.
06:31She needs to keep drinking.
06:33Our cup can make some broth.
06:35I'd like to check back in a few hours and look in again tomorrow.
06:38We'd prefer to take her home and you can visit her there.
06:41I don't advise moving her not into the cold for a long ride.
06:44She'd be better off staying here.
06:46We'd feel more comfortable to have her back in Brooklyn, where you could-
06:48With Mrs. Van Ryn's permission, she 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.
07:00We are certainly in your debt.
07:05We 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.
07:20Where's Mrs. Russell?
07:22She had an urgent matter to see to concerning Miss Gladys.
07:26What do you mean?
07:28Mrs. Russell will explain, sir.
07:32The panic's coming.
07:35It's only a matter of time.
07:37Stocks are plummeting.
07:39There's a new firm going under every day.
07:42Grant and Ward just collapsed.
07:45The Metropolitan isn't alone.
07:48I couldn't let it fail.
07:50Sany was innocent.
07:52And as you just said, run on a bank can be contagious.
07:55I'd have lost more than I care to admit.
07:58Well, if I have you in my debt, then I have grounds to ask a favor.
08:03My trip out west wasn't about buying copper mines.
08:05I said that because...
08:06Because you wanted me to believe it.
08:08What really you were after was a land that went with the mines.
08:12I have a vision, a railroad that will transform this country and perhaps the world.
08:21An illusory vision.
08:23I want to connect all the major cities of America to create a continuous line from New
08:28York to Chicago and then from Chicago to California without 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.
08:44You think you have a problem getting around Morenci.
08:48Well, till you start trying to rearrange Chicago.
08:53It's ambitious, yes.
08:56But neither of us would be who we are today without ambition.
09:00This line will be built.
09:03It must be.
09:04The only mystery is who will do it.
09:08Your scheme will cost more money than I know you have and your timing couldn't be worse.
09:15It's true.
09:16I can't do this alone.
09:20The risks are enormous.
09:23But if we succeed, the rewards will be enormous too.
09:29All right.
09:30I'll do what I can.
09:33But if you fail, you're on your own.
09:36Well, if you fail, you're on your own.
09:36You're on your own.
09:37You will be on your own.
09:38You're on your own.
09:39And you'll be failing.
09:40You will be on your own.
09:42You'll be tearing up.
09:43I'll do it.
09:44I'll do it.
09:45I'll do it.
09:46wants you to think well of her since when have they cared about any of us except when it comes
09:53to our ability to cater to their every need we don't know mrs. van ryan and apart from our daughter
10:00we are likely the only colored people she has had in her home even so peggy wouldn't have gotten
10:08this sick if she was under our roof and we were looking after her but this is where she has chosen
10:13to be and mrs. van ryan is kind to her i feel safer knowing our daughter is living in that house if
10:21she's not with us but we can't blame her for the ills of society and at least she invited us through her
10:28front door which you didn't want to go in but we did now can we leave it at that and it just just for

15:46i am asking all members of this household to join me in taking the pledge i'm sure i need not explain the
15:55merits of temperance to you all ada now you have gone too far agnes what do you think our temperance
16:02meeting was about mrs graves i stopped listening to that woman the moment she opened her mouth you
16:08cannot force my staff our staff my staff actually and i'm not forcing anyone it is up to them

16:50while his grace the duke is in new york he will be entertained by mr and mrs george russell but will
16:56he soon be more than a guest do you think that's what drove miss gladys to run away it's not our place
17:01to comment her wedding would affect us all if she moves to england who will go with her she'll need
17:07a maid i wonder if they'll hold the reception here what do you think mr church the mistress will have
17:13a plan prepared she usually does well i feel sorry for miss gladys really she'll be famous around the
17:19world her picture will appear in every paper her clothes will be copied and her jewels but she won't have
17:25chosen the man she married plenty of people who have a free choice live to regret it
17:38what are you doing i'm going back over the details why you know it works not quite i'm sure it will work
17:45there's a difference but mr larry wrote to me today he wants me at the meetings of course you must be there
17:54he was foolish not to see it before now you thought you'd put your foot in it but you were right to
17:58ask i want to go so bad but now that he wants me there i feel nervous i have to give miss ada an
18:04answer on the temperance pledge and not mrs van ryan mrs forte pays our wages these days and that must
18:11mean something so what will you do let them fight it out together this can't go on would you rather i went
18:18up and had it out with them no well someone has to and anyway i have a beer most evenings
18:26is that unreasonable we work all the hours god sends and now we can't relax on our time off
18:34i don't see how i can refuse mrs forte when she's been so kind about the clock mrs van ryan will never
18:39give up her wine so it may never come to it hey miss armstrong don't include me i've signed it
18:49does this mean everywhere or just in the house when you sign the pledge you sign the pledge
18:54you look better than you did yesterday oh yesterday's rabbit blur that's due to the fever
19:04yeah i do remember my parents were here they sent for me do you work with my father in the way of
19:12things my father used to get treatment for arthritis at your father's pharmacy often i'd go with him and
19:19watch mr scott mix up his potions when i found out he owned the store and heard him advise patrons about
19:28which medicine to take my world was cracked open
19:35i don't recall seeing you around the store i went to school in philadelphia so i wasn't there much
19:42good now i can listen to your lungs breathe normally
19:56sounds better
20:00but you still have that cough how is she today much improved pulse is stronger and her fever's broken
20:07but she'll need to rest for a few days we don't want to relapse no that is quite forbidden
20:16look what i brought oh much after just delivered we'll celebrate when you're feeling better your
20:23parents mentioned you're a writer is it an installment from a novel yes but i'm very behind on my work
20:29i'm very behind on my work may i oh yes sure
20:48your mother was very worried only because i'd ruin her plan
21:06please don't scold me i don't agree with your methods
21:08not your mother's but i understand her intention and that is to give you an astonishing opportunity
21:17but an opportunity for what to be one of the most influential women of your generation
21:23i don't want to be influential and i refuse to be mother's project let me be my own person
21:28marriage is the one way you can do that and this marriage would give you the power to change lives
21:34you promised i could marry for love and i'm in love with billy carlton if you and billy think the
21:38best way to pursue this is by running away then neither of you is ready to marry what if he were
21:44to ask you now he'll be at mrs fane's party very well i'll hear his arguments
21:57i only want what's best for you but you think that's the duke
22:00i think you should consider all of your options including hector
22:10and how was miss scott faring today much better it is such a relief i'm so pleased
22:15our prayers have been answered and you will send us your bill mr scott has taken care of that
22:21oh good well doctor we remain in your debt
22:24aurora i can't help wondering does charles drink it could explain his behavior not in that way
22:37but it might seem better if he did it would be less of an outright rejection oh don't talk like that
22:42charles is the fool here banister is there any news on the pledge will the servant sign well
22:49uh banister please ignore mrs forte i mean let the matter drop i will not let it drop this is my
22:57staff i believe i have a right to ask for their support mrs forte ma'am and do you have the right
23:03to tell them what to eat for luncheon or where to worship on sunday well i think it's perfectly simple
23:08mrs van rein mrs forte what is it banister i'm very sorry but we must know downstairs who is in charge of
23:18the house now well well why must things change for a very good reason that is i uh you are quite right

24:37plans are terrific i'm glad to hear you you've done so much work here but i'll still need your help

29:40narrow these lapels i like them they're too showy a gentleman never looks as if he's trying to be
29:48smart he simply is smart without making any effort to be so do you wear a handkerchief in the top pocket

31:19believe in you if i could only take that to the market you can i'll write a check for you to invest
31:26and when i talk about it others will follow would you do that for me
31:31i'd do anything for you i uh i don't know what to say say that you'll double my money
31:42thank you i mean it and i will
31:44missus russell i'm glad to see you after what happened the other day i wonder
32:01can we just wipe the slate clean i do hope so and i assure you billy will speak to your husband
32:08properly this time he won't make the same mistake again i do not know how many times i have to tell you
32:13this mrs carlton but gladys will not marry your son isn't it out of our hands let me speak clearly
32:20if you keep this up mr russell will see that billy never gets another job and we will disinherit
32:25gladys you do that to your own child what sort of a person are you as a rule i'm the sort of person
32:32who gets what she wants
32:41i'm so glad to see you i couldn't hide away forever oh well you must be pleased that everyone's come
32:59that mr fain has made such a recovery what your husband just came in with the bell party
33:11is that mrs lipton i thought he was upstairs he's been staying at the club so i wouldn't catch his cold
33:19that seems rather drastic he wanted to be prudent do i gather with all of this that you'll be spending
33:29more time in newport are you all right aurora i think so mrs fain i hope you don't catch your husband's
33:39chill and with that i will take my leave
33:48that was sudden charles has driven her away together with his mistress my dear don't let him get the
33:55better of you he already has
33:57i'm so glad you've come i hope it means you're feeling better excuse us how could you have brought
34:10her here we go everywhere together take her out of my house it's my house too and she didn't want to
34:17come i made her and she was right and you are cruel get used to it we'll be seen all over town wherever
34:22you go come away aurora can't you persuade her aunt agnes i am not your aunt agnes anymore
34:34i shot a peacock once on a hunting expedition did you have it stuffed as i remember our chef stuffed
34:40it with figs and brandy it was delicious but of course i was the butt of a good many jokes this is
34:45russell have you met mr merrick oh you should he's so interested in the new opera house and such an admirer
34:51of yours i've seen you at the met but i never had the nerve to speak i love your ideas because
34:56they so exactly mirror my own high praise from a man more than merited may i ask is it true your
35:04daughter's going to marry the duke of buckingham if it were i suppose you disapprove why i'd say it
35:09would give her a position from which she can achieve great things i read in the paper that it's official
35:14now that article was silly guesswork if she does marry him what will your title be why would i have one
35:20well there must be something you call the mother of a duchess one lucky woman
35:28i admire many things about the english but they can't hold a candle that comes to your party
35:32mr merrick
35:40it's happening billy is asking my father
35:47you're very confident in the face of brown banks banks are like women panic at the unimportant and
35:53and ignore the essentials mr carlton can we help you
36:10excuse me that was peculiar
36:13arton you know my wife i don't mean to interrupt i came to say hello to billy carlton but he seems to
36:22have gone he's changed his mind you don't know that billy
36:35billy what happened i couldn't do it what i couldn't do it good forget about miss russell
36:44they're new money people she was using you that's what they do that doesn't make sense you'll find
36:49another girl who won't cost you your future i regard it as a lucky escape what a ghastly gathering
37:07it's true that he's coming to new york it's true that i've arranged some parties for him
37:12what else can i tell you did you think i would just stay in arizona until everything was arranged
37:17george life goes on even when you're away on business the fact remains billy carlton has not
37:22had an opportunity to present his argument she says she loves him shouldn't we listen to her george
37:29she's 18. she still has her dolls in her room she ran away like a petulant child should we let her
37:35choose failure over triumph she's not choosing failure that's where you're wrong the whole of
37:41new york society has decided he's coming back here to propose who thinks that mrs fish mrs astor
37:48mrs drexel mrs van ranselier all of them because you leaked it to the newspapers yourself the point
37:54is if we don't announce an engagement they'll assume she's failed and forever after she'll be
37:58the girl who didn't land her duke we can say she turned him down they'll never believe us
38:02even so rushing her into it does not seem right george i don't expect you to understand this
38:12because you're not a woman but i am trying to empower her you think you're helping by caving
38:17in but she's young she doesn't know anything about love or the world or anything else
38:25i'm trying to protect her future won't you help me bertha you cannot expect her to marry a man she
38:34doesn't like she doesn't know him if she gives him a chance you'll like him well enough i just want
38:40to know when i get a say in our daughter's life the day i'm in your boardroom giving you my ideas on the
38:48railroads and the steel mills until that day i won't question your business if you don't question mine
38:59have you told me everything of course
39:11you look so nice is there a special occasion for the dinner
39:15i think it's really to welcome the duke back to america you've been spending quite a bit of
39:21time with the russells yes and young mr russell seems very taken with you
39:30he thinks he's in love with me oh my and how do you feel cautious because you don't share his
39:40feelings because i want to wait until things in his family are calmer and i need to be sure but
39:47look at cousin aurora perhaps it's foolish to look for certainty in love
39:53your uncle luke would say there's very little we could be certain of except god so pray and the right
40:01path will become clear oh which reminds me you've been hearing me speak about the pledge yes i just
40:13wondered if you'd given it any thought i have but i'm afraid i struggle to see what's wrong with
40:21having a glass of wine at dinner or jack wanting some beer on his day off
40:25hmm i thought you'd might say that i'm sorry if that makes you unhappy oh the scots are upstairs
40:35visiting their daughter oh i'm glad to hear it i should get changed
40:44maryann do you think miss scott might sign the pledge when she gets better
40:50maybe i should get to the wrestles i don't want to be late are you going to harass their duke into
40:55signing the pledge as well he might be interested please he's english his loyalty is to the queen
41:03and to the bottle not necessarily in that order
41:09it's cousin athena's women's group in newport i think you'd enjoy it and i know they'd enjoy you
41:15i suppose i always think of myself as a writer not a sneaker athena says that your tuskegee article
41:23as well as the excerpt from your novel has caused a lot of chatter up there they want to celebrate your
41:30work and she'd like for us to stay with us i thought it'd be a nice respite for us both ocean air
41:40will do you good dr kirpen said so i guess it wouldn't hurt and i'd like to see the ocean
41:47will you come if i can get away and they want me to speak next month oh it's an open invitation
41:54we can get out of new york we can eat some food visit family if you're not working for the globe
42:00anymore well i'd have to ask mrs van ryan but you're right when she will leave
42:17you're right when she's going to get out of new york and she's going to get out of new york
42:26how is she oh much better thank you oh god please come and sit
42:38are you all on your own oh my sister is upstairs changing and my niece is across the road dining
42:44with our neighbors may i ask you something we we have an invitation from a cousin in newport
42:54to take peggy there for a while and oh of course you must go and stay until she is ready to come back
43:01how very gracious
43:04mrs van ryan forgive me for saying this but uh your attitude is not what we are used to
43:11especially on fifth avenue i'm sorry to hear that but you know it to be true maybe but it is not how
43:18we were raised we were brought up to be well-mannered towards everyone and that is what i believe in
43:26simple good manners i agree i'm not convinced good manners will prove an effective cure for
43:34two and a half centuries of slavery no i suppose not and good manners did not oblige your doctor to
43:43treat our daughter when she was dangerously ill i know and i'm very sorry about that but
43:49i thought he would set aside his prejudice because he was frightened i don't know maybe but i
43:56i i believed he would act when he saw the urgency when did you see the urgency
44:07well i know we were slow to grasp just how ill miss scott was but after i'd seen her
44:13i did everything i could i'm sure you did i know what it's like when your child is sick
44:19i shall never forget when oscar was diagnosed with typhoid he was only 10 and mr verne ryan was
44:30away and i was here alone with just the servants and a doctor who tried his best but of course could do
44:38nothing well how terrible for you was there really no treatment to be had no just some medicines with
44:47mercury but nothing no nothing really all we could do was nurse him and uh and pray
45:00i spent a whole day thinking that i'd lost him
45:06she'll never forget it
45:07i'd say that we've both had our scares over the years but i think that children were mainly sent to
45:21frighten you isn't that the truth
45:27we should be going
45:37thank you for your care of peggy i should have known that as a mother you would understand
45:47goodbye mrs van ryne goodbye mr and mrs scott
46:07i'm delighted you could join us miss brooke larry was kind to invite me will you see what's giving
46:18your sister

47:11no why not because i don't have the strength to fight anymore
47:17what did my mother say it's not what she said so much as what my own mother told me
47:28what does that have to do with our engagement
47:30gladys i'm a tiny cog in the wheel of industry i cannot afford to challenge the people driving it
47:38i see your parents talking with the biggest decision makers on wall street and
47:42i know i'm not in that league and never will be you shouldn't be afraid of my father when when i'm
47:49trying to thwart his plans for his daughter i've been a fool
47:56the newspapers practically say you're engaged it was the main topic of conversation at the party but
48:00i'm not engaged and my father promised me i could marry for love so you see i have things are different
48:06now and our love is no longer practical the plain truth is gladys i'm not the man you need me to be
48:28sorry to make you cry please try not to hate me
