00:00Thank you
01:59I've been in this carriage for days. Are we nearly there?
02:03What do you mean? We are there.
02:05This is Sidmouth Castle.
02:07This is the park of the castle.
02:10We've been crossing the estate for the past half hour.
02:12Where are these people?
02:19They're my tenants and farm workers welcoming home their new duchess.
02:24It's you.
02:24Come on, look at that.
02:42Come on.
02:43Come on.
02:44You know what to do, Wilbur, okay?
02:47You know what to do.
02:57Go Wilbur!
02:58Show what you've got.
02:59Oh, that's your friend on third base.
03:01Technically, he's my accountant and also a friend.
03:05Baseball is more intense than I thought.
03:07All these years, your father's store sponsored this team, but you've never come to a game.
03:12I suppose if I'd been a boy, he would have brought me, but I'm not.
03:15No, you are quite the lindy.
03:35What a thrill.
03:37My goodness.
03:39I really just don't know how I miss this.
03:45Miss Scott.
03:53Mr. Fortune, what a surprise.
03:56This is Dr. William Kirkland, Mr. T. Thomas Fortune.
04:00I'm glad to meet you.
04:01I'm a subscriber to the Globe.
04:03Thank you for reading.
04:04Happy to support.
04:05Are you a baseball enthusiast now?
04:08Hardly.
04:08I was able to cajole her into accompanying me.
04:11Well, I enjoyed it all the same.
04:12Well, I'm glad I ran into you.
04:14I read the piece from your novel.
04:15It was so vivid.
04:17I was truly impressed, as I always am with you.
04:21That means a lot.
04:23Have you given up journalism?
04:25I'm focused on my novel right now.
04:27Are you familiar with Frances Ellen Watkins Harper?
04:30Of course.
04:30I admire her writing and her work to get women the vote.
04:34Well, how would you like to interview Mrs. Harper about these suffrage meetings she's holding?
04:38Oh.
04:38Thank you for thinking of me for this, but I...
04:42No one else will do the story justice.
04:46Daddy, I'm tired.
04:48Okay, all right.
04:49You can leave in a moment.
04:50We don't want to keep you.
04:51No, it's fine.
04:52Mrs. Harper is based in Philadelphia.
04:54I can send you all the details.
04:56Are you still at 61st Street or back in Brooklyn?
04:5861st Street, mostly.
05:00All right.
05:00I must be off.
05:01Nice to meet you.
05:01Come on.
05:03I thought I was just bringing you to a baseball game, not helping you get your next writing assignment.
05:08It sounds like a wonderful opportunity.
05:10It is.
05:11It is.
05:12You don't seem convinced.
05:14It's complicated with Mr. Fortune.
05:17You'll see a difficult manager.
05:18No, it's not that.
05:19I just...
05:20I have my other writing work to consider, and I just have to find a balance is all.
05:24That's life's ultimate conundrum, isn't it?
05:26You're right.
05:28How are we doing with the Illinois Central Line?
05:30We've got 30%, maybe a little more.
05:3330%?
05:34I need to control the line.
05:36The Merrick family won't sell, nor will Risley Sage.
05:40They both want to govern Chicago.
05:41As do I.
05:43What about Morenci?
05:46You must understand, they only have those minds.
05:49Once they're gone, they will have nothing left, and they don't believe us, whatever we say.
05:53I hired you to buy that land.
05:55You hired me to give you wise counsel.
05:57You may not like what I'm telling you, but if you want to buy them out, you need more money.
06:03You don't care, do you?
06:05If I'd asked the old Clay to get me those minds, he'd have trodden on his mother's grave to do it.
06:10All I'm saying is, your financial position is not good.
06:13Why do you think Morgan pulled out?
06:15Are you finished?
06:18Yes.
06:20I agree.
06:20You are finished with me.
06:25Excuse me?
06:26I don't need counsel to tell me what's not possible.
06:30I need someone to help me achieve the impossible.
06:33It's become very clear you are not that person.
06:36You have neither the vision nor the courage to continue working for me.
06:40It isn't my fault you can't face the truth.
06:42You're over-leveraged in driving your company off a cliff.
06:46Wake up before it's too late.
06:47You're fired, Clay.
07:05The news of Mr. Borough and Mrs. Drayton has kept the honeymoon out of the papers.
07:09But they still print gossip of her grace.
07:11And not just her.
07:12They talk of me and of Mr. Russell's business.
07:15It must stop.
07:15It must be upsetting, ma'am.
07:17I'm not the mistress of my own house anymore.
07:19I feel there's a spy around every corner.
07:21You're sure it's a member of staff?
07:23Or as I would call them a traitor.
07:24I'm enlisting the aid of Mrs. Bruce and Mr. Borden to help me find the culprit, madam.
07:29Can they be trusted?
07:31I hope so.
07:32At this point, everyone is suspect.
07:36The public's always curious about the lives of the fortunate few.
07:40Yes, but who's selling the details?
07:44In my experience, it's always the most recent hire who's the guilty one when it comes to leaks.
07:50That makes it hard to narrow down.
07:51We took on several footmen with the Duke's visit and the weddings.
07:54But it's someone with a sharp ear.
07:56Oh, this latest story about Mr. Russell buying the Illinois Central Line, is that true?
08:01I should get back.
08:03I don't think I've been much help, but I'll give it thought.
08:06If I have any ideas, I'll tell you.
08:07I'd appreciate it.
08:08The truth is I'm at my wit's end.
08:10And worse, so is the mistress.
08:12Is there any news from Gladys?
08:23No, but no news is good news, George.
08:26She's settling into her new life.
08:28Don't worry.
08:29I walked her down that aisle.
08:30She looked as if she were headed for the guillotine.
08:32If you want to help her, help me find whoever's leaking this nonsense to the papers.
08:36Brother, 20 or 30 people work in our house, most of whom we don't know.
08:41Of course there are leaks.
08:42Of course they sell secrets about us.
08:44That is the way we live.
08:45So what are you suggesting?
08:46That I should be the only woman on the street cooking her own dinner?
08:49I'm suggesting we should try to avoid having too many secrets.
08:53Meanwhile, I need your help with something.
08:55Or rather, someone.
08:57Of course.
08:57Who?
08:58You know him.
09:00Alfred Marrick.
09:00He's on the board of the mat.
09:02His family owns shares in the Illinois Central Line, which I need to buy.
09:05But they won't sell.
09:06What can I do?
09:08Invite him to dinner.
09:09Make a fuss of him.
09:11Pull out all the stops.
09:12And charm him into compliance.
09:14I've tried everything else.
09:15I heard raised voices coming from the library earlier.
09:18Is everything all right?
09:20Nothing for you to worry about.
09:22Just set up that dinner.
09:23It took nearly ten years to build Seenworth Castle.
09:32This gallery was remodeled by the third duke to make a bachelor corridor.
09:38That's our mother.
09:39She's very lovely.
09:41It's a good likeness.
09:43But I'm never sure about wedding portraits.
09:45My mother had a portrait of me done by Mr. Sargent.
09:49It's in New York.
09:52Best place for it.
09:53What is that contraption?
10:00Haven't you ever seen a maestro before?
10:02You're nice.
10:03Everyone has mice.
10:05Happily, we also have a cat.
10:06You can't expect us to be up to the minute.
10:09We've lived here since 1612.
10:11Oh my.
10:12I know you Americans like to build new houses for yourselves.
10:16But we would rather stay in one place.
10:18The house has quite a rich history.
10:20While you're away, I notice how shabby the morning room is looking.
10:23I need some ideas.
10:24Well, I thought I might go to Garrett's for their advice.
10:27Aren't they dead?
10:28One cousin is dead, but the other is working and good with panelling, so I'm told.
10:32By the way, the mild maids are dining here tomorrow and the co-tests.
10:35Who are they?
10:36I've done the menus, but do you still hate scallops?
10:38Italy.
10:39Never mind.
10:40Wade will have some ideas.
10:42Gladys?
10:44Aren't you coming?
10:49Is that for us?
10:52I can take them.
10:57I hope this job won't be a burden to you as you finish your novel.
11:01I can manage, ma'am.
11:03In fact, there doesn't seem to be as much post as there used to be.
11:06Yes, I've fallen off of many people's lists.
11:09You do have a second letter here from the New York Heritage Society.
11:12They want money.
11:13They're inviting you to be a founding member.
11:16That's code for a lot of money.
11:17They're impressed with the family's long association with New York.
11:21First they flatter you, then the request comes in, and it's always for money.
11:26This arrived as I came in.
11:28Did I read that return correctly?
11:30Is it from Mr. Fortune?
11:31I've agreed to write an article form on Frances Watkins Harper.
11:35Oh, but I know of her.
11:37That's wonderful.
11:38Is that a train ticket?
11:39She's in Philadelphia.
11:40I'll leave on Thursday to interview her.
11:43I don't understand.
11:44Is that wise?
11:45Why would it be unwise?
11:49Well, because...
11:51Miss Brooke has the same concerns as you.
11:53My heavy workload.
11:54But this is a real opportunity.
11:56But of course you must go.
12:00Will you be traveling alone?
12:02I know Philadelphia quite well.
12:04Might Dr. Kirkland keep you company?
12:06Why would she need a doctor?
12:08She's made a full recovery.
12:09I was just being silly.
12:19I didn't think an encounter with a footman would bring me a fortune.
12:23He won't be a footman for long.
12:24I should say not.
12:25Now will you tell me why you've asked me in here?
12:28I want you to go to Morency.
12:30Clay failed to make the deal.
12:32Now he's gone, and I want you to take his place.
12:35You fired Clay.
12:36I have, and I need this settled right away.
12:38But I can't leave New York.
12:39My investors are skittish.
12:41I must hold their hands.
12:42I don't blame them.
12:43With the markets in chaos and the run on the bank...
12:45Yes, yes.
12:46But I'm counting on you.
12:48I need this land for the railway expansion.
12:53What's in it for me?
12:55What?
12:55I'm not sure I want us to work together.
12:57So before I give an answer, I'd like to know how it could be of advantage to me.
13:03What is it?
13:04I'm always a bit shocked when I see myself in you.
13:07You'll have everything I own in the end.
13:10So, if this is a success, it will eventually be yours.
13:14Why did Clay fail?
13:16He said he needed more money.
13:17Which you weren't willing to give him?
13:19No.
13:20But I also feel he squandered what I did give.
13:24What about the mines?
13:25That is not my focus.
13:26Why not?
13:27Because there's no money to be made in them.
13:28If I'm to do this, I have to make sure it's worth my while.
13:31Perhaps I'll invest my own money.
13:34Still, I'm not making any promises.
13:38I admire how you negotiate.
13:40I'll need the information on the mines.
13:42I'll get you the metallurgy report.
13:44And I can't leave for a few days.
13:45You're leaving tomorrow.
13:46I have plans.
13:47What is more important than this?
13:49I'm going to ask Marion Brooke to marry me.
13:56I think she'll accept, but I wanted to wait until after Gladys' wedding.
14:00I was going to tell both of you, but I'm not sure how I'll manage that if I'm going to be in Marency for a month.
14:08Congratulations.
14:08You've chosen well.
14:15I'm pleased.
14:16Good.
14:17I'm not sure her mother will be so open-hearted.
14:20Leave your mother to me.
14:22We'll announce it when you're back.
14:24She'll be used to the idea by then.
14:26Now, go and get ready.
14:29You'll leave first thing.
14:30Do you like it?
14:42Very much.
14:43I hope your first dinner party is a success, Your Grace.
14:46I do too.
14:47Thank you for your help.
14:50It's my job.
14:52But having you here while I'm so far away from home is really comforting.
14:56I suppose getting used to all this will take time.
14:58I'm glad if I've been helpful.
15:02The real problem is Lady Sarah.
15:04I agree.
15:05Your Grace, if I may.
15:07There's so many rules.
15:08I'm keen to learn them.
15:10Being ladies' maid to a duchess is not something I could ever have imagined.
15:13Nor could I have imagined myself in this role.
15:15That is wonderful news.
15:30Congratulations.
15:32Well, I have you to thank for Jack.
15:35I simply made an introduction.
15:37John created the clock and the two of you sold it.
15:40That's a true partnership.
15:42Don't diminish your role.
15:43What will it mean for you both?
15:47It means Jack won't be your footman for much longer.
15:51I would think not.
15:53Lord knows what Aunt Agnes will make of it all.
15:58Come with me.
15:59I'd like to show you something.
16:00What is this?
16:01As for me, I'm hoping it will make me a married man.
16:13What?
16:15We said we'd wait until after my sister's wedding.
16:17We did?
16:18You know that I love you.
16:24And I intend to spend every day of my life making you happy.
16:30Are you serious?
16:34Marry you, Brooke.
16:37Will you marry me?
16:38Yes.
16:50Yes.
16:52Yes.
17:05Yes.
17:05What is it?
17:18I don't know how Aunt Agnes is going to receive the news.
17:24Let me handle your odds.
17:26We wanted to speak to you both together.
17:36That sounds serious.
17:38Serious or ominous?
17:42It's good news.
17:43Is it?
17:44Yes.
17:46We want to ask for your permission, or your blessing, really.
17:51We plan to marry.
17:52Oh, congratulations.
17:54Congratulations.
17:55Oh, we couldn't be happier, could we, Agnes?
17:57Not possibly.
17:58Oh, it's wonderful news.
18:04And this coming on top of the news of the clock.
18:07Yes.
18:07Oh, what news about the clock?
18:10Jack didn't tell you.
18:11We sold our clock for a large sum of money.
18:13A fortune.
18:14Our Jack is now a man of means.
18:16But what sort of means?
18:20He'll be quite rich, Aunt Agnes.
18:22Oh, which is lovely.
18:24Isn't it, Agnes?
18:25Lovely.
18:27But we must go now.
18:28We're telling my parents, and then I'm meeting some friends for dinner.
18:31To celebrate your engagement.
18:33Not quite.
18:34My roommate from Harvard is getting married, and a few of us are going to Delmonico's.
18:39Tonight?
18:40Yes, I promised a few weeks ago.
18:42I would invite you, but it's only men.
18:45Well, that sounds fun.
18:47But I'll miss you, and you're leaving for Arizona in the morning.
18:51Oh, why Arizona?
18:53Oh, my father's business.
18:55What a pity to have to go so soon after you're engaged.
18:59Well, it's only a month, and then my life will really begin.
19:03Meanwhile, I'll be back for dinner.
19:07Congratulations again.
19:12Shall we?
19:13Yes, Mr. Russell.
19:16Well, I wonder how many more bolts from the blue I will have to endure before bedtime.
19:22You knew she was fond of him.
19:24Well, I did.
19:25But anyway, when I asked her if she was interested in him, she just missed me.
19:31It seems when I ask someone a direct question in my own home, I get lied to.
19:35You're blowing this out of proportion.
19:38Besides, Larry is nice, Agnes.
19:40You know he is.
19:41All I know is that woman will claim kinship.
19:44Just see if she doesn't.
19:45We'll have to manage it, I suppose.
19:47I am being asked to manage too much regarding the Russells.
19:51Not only is he marrying our niece, but he's made our footman rich, which is upsetting to
19:57everyone in this household.
20:00Not the footman.
20:04Absolutely marvellous.
20:08May I present my wife, the Duchess of Buckingham?
20:12How do you do, Duchess, and welcome to England.
20:15Did you have a good journey?
20:16To be honest, I slept most of the way.
20:19All right.
20:21What is that in your hair?
20:24Why?
20:25My maid suggested them, and I liked the idea.
20:27You don't seem to understand.
20:29This isn't New York.
20:32You're right.
20:33I don't understand.
20:34If I can wear a tiara, so can you.
20:37I'm afraid your maid is not up to the task if she thought diamond stars were appropriate.
20:43I like them.
20:44I think they're pretty.
20:45Really, Hector, this is way over your head.
20:48Dinner is served.
20:51Please.
21:02Who did the placement?
21:04Me.
21:05You don't know who anyone is.
21:06I changed it a little.
21:09I see.
21:09I have been demoted.
21:13Well, she's my wife.
21:14What a treat.
21:44May I offer my congratulations on your business success, Mr. Trotter?
21:49Why? Is there news of the clock?
21:52Mrs. Forte mentioned it. Should I not have said anything?
21:55They were bound to find out.
21:57Find out what?
22:00We sold the clock.
22:01You can't be serious.
22:03You amaze me.
22:05How much did you get?
22:09They're vivant in their tea.
22:11I'll take it up.
22:14Really?
22:20But why was he asking for his coat?
22:28It's because he confused the valet with the rector.
22:31Do you see?
22:32Oh, Hector, don't be unkind.
22:34You can't expect Gladys to develop an English sense of humour overnight.
22:44Are you staying for some port?
22:58Congratulations.
22:59I wish you all the happiness in the world.
23:01Thank you, Mr. Russell.
23:03What is taking Mother so long?
23:08We really should have waited before we started celebrating.
23:11I waited plenty for her and Gladys to settle the details.
23:15This time, I mean to have more of a hand in it.
23:19Mr. Alfred Merrick.
23:20Well, you are quite a sight.
23:26That's a compliment, I hope.
23:28I apologise for being late.
23:30Nonsense.
23:31I'm just coming down now.
23:34Shall we join the others?
23:38Look who I found in the hall.
23:39Mr. Merrick.
23:42Good of you to join us.
23:44You know our son, Larry, and this is our neighbour, Miss Marion Brooke.
23:48She is more than our neighbour now.
23:51What?
23:52We're getting married.
23:54I told father earlier we should have waited,
23:57but father insisted on breaking out the champagne.
23:59Another wedding.
24:00What a joyous time for the Russell family.
24:03What do your aunts make of the news?
24:05They're pleased.
24:06I'm sure.
24:07Why wouldn't they be?
24:08We'll wait for the formal announcement.
24:10Oh, yes.
24:11There's no hurry.
24:11I think it must be after I get back from Marenzi.
24:15And why is this news to me as well?
24:17Because it's all just happened today.
24:19The father needs me in Arizona, so I'm catching a train in the morning.
24:22I leave the house for one charity meeting,
24:24and it seems as if your entire future is decided in my absence.
24:27Well, here's to your future.
24:29To you both.
24:31Hear, hear.
24:31You must see it.
24:39The Vatican.
24:40Yes, and don't miss the Raphael rooms.
24:44Everyone talks of the Sistine Chapel,
24:46but Raphael's choice of vibrant colours haunts you,
24:49like one of Mrs. Russell's gowns.
24:51I should like to visit Italy.
24:54Speaking of which, the choice to do a season of Italian opera seems to have been a success.
24:58Norma was a stunning production.
25:01George was away for it.
25:02That's right.
25:02I remember you were there without him.
25:04I couldn't miss it.
25:05Many women will not go out to an event like that without a husband.
25:09There aren't many women like my wife.
25:11She is one of a kind.
25:16Have you ever been married?
25:17No.
25:18I was engaged once, but it was called off.
25:22Not by me.
25:23How sad.
25:24What a silly girl.
25:26I'm sorry.
25:26Don't be.
25:27It was years ago.
25:28Count yourself lucky.
25:29If she didn't appreciate you, then she didn't deserve you.
25:31I'm not sure that's quite fair, but thank you for lifting my spirits.
25:36I meant what I said.
25:39Tell me about your daughter, the Duchess, at her castle in England.
25:42I suppose she's written about in the columns, but I never read them.
25:46She's doing well.
25:46Well, we hope she's doing well.
25:50We haven't heard much from her.
25:52It must be interesting for her, whatever else it turns out to be.
25:55Bertha has lofty goals for our children.
25:57I'd say we both do.
25:58This is a house of high ambition.
26:00Your wife wanted an opera box.
26:02Now we have a new opera house, and the Academy of Music is dust.
26:06That was not my intention.
26:08But that was the result.
26:12I must agree with you, Mr. Merrick.
26:14The Russells do not stop until we get what we want.
26:20I'll leave you to your port.
26:28I'm no match for you.
26:29My brother taught me to play when I was quite young.
26:34I have many years of practice.
26:36Is this the brother at the helm of the Illinois Central Line?
26:39Yes.
26:40Edgar, have you met?
26:41No.
26:42But I've done my research.
26:45Your family takes pride in the railway.
26:47We do.
26:47And yet, you keep selling shares to Risley Sage.
26:54We haven't sold a share in years.
26:56It's true.
26:57Edgar made decisions back then that let in Sage, but that won't happen again.
27:03The Illinois Central goes through Chicago, and there's no better way to connect the coasts.
27:09Chicago is the key.
27:10That's why Risley Sage wants to control it.
27:13With him, it's a daily struggle.
27:15The instability in the markets has made your company vulnerable.
27:18But I can change that.
27:21If you sell to me, I'll transform it.
27:24Make it fit for the future.
27:26Sage would bleed the line of every cent, and then sell it off piecemeal to the highest bidders.
27:31And you won't do the same.
27:32If you sell to me, I'll make sure the Merrick still have a voice in the most important railroad in the country.
27:42Your speech broke my concentration.
27:45I'm happy if it makes you take my offer seriously.
27:51The reason it's in Chicago is that was the center of my grandmother's world.
27:56Selling it would be like getting rid of her.
27:57If you allow me a majority, you'll still have a great many shares.
28:00And I'll always recognize that.
28:01I don't know you, Mr. Russell.
28:03I know your wife.
28:05And I like her.
28:06But you didn't become this rich by making heartwarming promises.
28:09Or if you did, I doubt you kept them.
28:11It's true that none of my competitors would promise what I have.
28:14Thank you, Mr. Russell.
28:15But we are a proud family.
28:17And Edgar has a plan in place that will keep him as head of the company for years to come.
28:22So I don't think there's any offer you could make that would entice us to sell.
28:27Now I'll say goodnight.
28:28Well, I'm disappointed.
28:33Where did you meet your husband?
28:52At my first job in New York, I was a housemaid.
28:56He looked after the accounts for the kitchens.
29:00So he was a hard worker?
29:02A hard worker.
29:03Funny.
29:05Rather good looking.
29:09And I was young.
29:11Were you happy?
29:13I think so.
29:15We wanted children.
29:21But some things aren't meant to be.
29:26Was that what caused his melancholia?
29:28I used to think so.
29:31But now I'm not so sure.
29:34You still love him?
29:37That's such a hard question.
29:39I withdraw.
29:39No, don't.
29:40I still love the man he used to be.
29:49But whether he loves me...
29:55No.
29:58I love you.
30:02I mean it.
30:03And I'm grateful.
30:12I mean that too.
30:21I think Miss Marion would want us at the wedding.
30:25Are you sure?
30:26When Mrs. Van Ryn is opposed to it.
30:28She may be.
30:29But she will attend.
30:31In protest.
30:31What does that mean?
30:33It means she'll wear a frown and a dark dress.
30:36But we'll be invited.
30:38And so will Jack.
30:39Since Mr. Larry is his business partner.
30:42There will not be a servant at their wedding.
30:44Mrs. Russell won't allow it.
30:45No.
30:46When Jack is probably richer than most of the other guests.
30:51What do you mean?
30:53Yes.
30:54How can John be that rich?
30:56It's not for me to say.
30:58Oh, come on, Mrs. Bower.
30:59Don't tease us like this.
31:01How much was John paid for the clock?
31:08$300,000.
31:09Oh!
31:22Jack.
31:24What are you waiting here for?
31:26Come on.
31:26Come on.
31:26Come on.
31:28Welcome to the hay market.
31:41What is this place?
31:44It's anything you want it to be.
31:47Women.
31:48Drinking.
31:50Entertainment.
31:50Men.
31:52Men.
31:52If you fancy.
31:54You want gambling.
31:55There you have it.
31:55Rent 29.
31:57Mr. Larry, I'm not sure what to make of all this.
32:00It's not complicated.
32:01Enjoy it.
32:02You have money now.
32:03You can afford a more interesting life.
32:05Make sure that you do.
32:07There's my friend at the bar.
32:09Larry.
32:10There you are.
32:10Here, right this way.
32:11Two more for my friends, please.
32:13Have a seat.
32:15This is my partner, Jack Trotter.
32:17We heard about the clock.
32:19Well, I do hope you'll have a good evening, Control.
32:22I know I'll have an evening I won't soon forget.
32:26Well, you certainly picked the right place to celebrate.
32:30Enjoy yourself, Simon.
32:32This may be your last night at the hay market.
32:34Oh, I wouldn't say that.
32:36A man is a very reasonable woman.
32:39No woman is reasonable about a club like this.
32:42No wife, anyway.
32:43Do you want to buy me a drink?
32:45I'm sorry.
32:46No.
32:48Don't apologize.
32:50What about you?
32:50I wouldn't mind discussing it.
32:59Larry.
33:00Has one of them got your attention?
33:05I won't be a minute.
33:16Excuse me.
33:19But are you Marred Beat?
33:20Who's she?
33:24You need an admitted, of course.
33:26Why should I when my name's Dolly Trent?
33:29Enough.
33:29Enough.
33:43What happened tonight?
33:44I could ask the same question.
33:46Thank you, Andre.
33:47Yes, madam.
33:47Are you ready for Newport?
33:49I am, madam.
33:51Marion Brooke is not the kind of girl I have in mind for Larry.
33:54Keep out of it, Bertha.
33:55I won't let you do to Larry what you did to Gladys.
33:57I learned he is to marry without my consent.
34:00He is of age and does not require your consent or your approval.
34:03I approve.
34:04And I am still the head of this house.
34:06Though your behavior tonight has made me think.
34:08What do you mean?
34:09I felt like a cuckold at my own dinner table.
34:11You were the one who begged me to charm him.
34:13You didn't need to be as charming as that.
34:15Should I have sulked in silence?
34:17Well, they won't sell anyway, so it was all a waste of time.
34:19I'm sorry, but I did what you asked.
34:22Really?
34:22Because I've never seen you behave like that with anyone.
34:24You cannot be angry with me if you were unable to close a business deal.
34:28I am not at fault.
34:29Of course not, Bertha.
34:31You are as pristine as a Raphael Fresco.
34:40Might you have done something to offend Lady Sarah?
34:44Not that I can think of.
34:46But she seems to offend easily.
34:48That's true enough.
34:49Mr. Fox told me there'd be a ticket for my passage back to America.
34:55But can she fire me if I work for you?
34:58Let me see what I can do.
35:09How can you dismiss my maid for no reason?
35:12I had my reasons.
35:14And she was never meant to be permanent.
35:16Maybe.
35:16But she was to stay to try and her replacement.
35:18I'm afraid she's not equipped to train a new maid.
35:22Not for life at Sidmouth, at any rate.
35:25In your opinion?
35:27Yes, in my opinion.
35:28Your opinion is not the only one to be considerate.
35:30Surely even you concede that I know a little more about how things are managed in England.
35:35Why couldn't she keep her maid?
35:46Hector, I am trying to turn her into an English duchess.
35:49It's hard work and she's unpromising material, but I'm doing my best.
35:53It was you who told me I must save the family with a Yankee heiress.
35:58I suppose it never occurred to me that you'd have to bring her home.
36:01This is to be sent to New York immediately.
36:07Tell no one.
36:08Yes, Your Grace.
36:15Thank you, William.
36:17Larry.
36:19The metallurgist report you asked for.
36:21There's not much here.
36:27Because the mines are worthless.
36:29Focus on getting the land.
36:31I'll do my best.
36:33I need you to do better than that.
36:37Ah.
36:40Let me say my goodbyes and then I'll be on my way.
36:43You're leaving now?
36:51I'll be back as soon as I can.
36:54I'll miss you every day.
36:56I'll miss you every moment.
37:00No, no.
37:01Don't mind me.
37:04I should be on my way too.
37:06Oscar.
37:15I'm glad I caught you.
37:18You ought to know.
37:20I saw Maude Beaton last night.
37:27Maude Beaton?
37:29Are you certain?
37:30She was working at the hay market.
37:33What do you mean?
37:34What sort of work?
37:36What sort of work do women generally undertake in those kinds of establishments?
37:41I've got to go.
37:43And don't worry, I told you, but I won't tell anyone else.
37:59Oh, I've dropped my towel.
38:01I'll get it.
38:06Miss Scott.
38:09Mr. Fortune, what are you doing here?
38:14Mr. Kirkland.
38:15Dr. Kirkland.
38:17What's this?
38:18I'm joining Miss Scott for our interview.
38:20That's not what your letter said.
38:21I had a change of heart.
38:22I cabled Mrs. Harper, so it's all set.
38:24But you've given this assignment to Miss Scott.
38:27She's capable.
38:29Why do you need to be there at all?
38:31Why don't you write your questions down and I'll ask them for you.
38:34There's no time for that.
38:35We'll miss our train.
38:36There's no we.
38:37I will do this alone or not at all.
38:40I don't understand what the problem is.
38:43She just told you.
38:44Let's not make a scene.
38:48Fortune, you should leave.
38:54I don't like your tone.
38:55It's too bad because I was being polite.
38:58Please stop.
38:59There's no need for this.
39:01Miss Fortune, I will write the piece alone or I can go home now.
39:06I see.
39:07Have a good trip.
39:11I look forward to reading your article.
39:18I understand why you said things with Mr. Fortune are complicated.
39:21There's more to tell you.
39:24I'll be here when you get back.
39:32I told you, you have to find shares elsewhere.
39:35In the end, Risley Sage is a businessman.
39:37Risley Sage is a horrible human being.
39:39I only meant that if Mr. Merrick won't sell, then surely Mr. Sage...
39:42We'd overpay by a factor of ten.
39:44And we don't have that kind of money.
39:46Go and find something else.
39:52Who was that?
39:55Brinkley.
39:56He's replaced Clay.
39:58Where's Mr. Clay?
39:59I fired him.
40:01What?
40:02Why?
40:03He couldn't close on the Morenci deal or the Illinois Central Line.
40:06Why didn't you tell me?
40:08I don't tell you everything.
40:09I wish he would.
40:11But what is going on with your business?
40:14There's a recession and some panic in the market.
40:17I'm aware of that.
40:18Will it affect you?
40:19Can you find the money you need?
40:21Had your friend Mr. Merrick taken my offer, we'd be in a better position.
40:25How bad a position are we in?
40:27I don't have time for this.
40:28Just tell me how I can help.
40:30Find out how our daughter is really doing in England.
40:32Gladys is fine.
40:33And I'm leaving for Newport tomorrow.
40:35There's a charity.
40:35I don't need the details of your social calendar.
40:38I only mean that I'll be away.
40:41And with Larry gone, you'll be on your own.
40:43Good.
40:45George, what is happening?
40:47Everything's at stake.
40:48I've no time to soothe your guilt or calm your fears.
40:52I must get back to work.
40:53Do you ever think of Maud Beaton?
41:06Certainly not, and nor should you.
41:09Only my neighbor Larry Russell came across it not long ago.
41:12I suppose she's living it up, spending your mother's money.
41:19She's working at the hay market.
41:21So, I don't suppose she's exactly living it up.
41:26Goodness.
41:27That's not what I expected at all.
41:32Will you go and see her there?
41:34I'm not sure.
41:36Maybe.
41:37For what purpose?
41:38It can't be revenge.
41:40If she's at the hay market, justice has already been served.
41:43Oh, I'd still like answers.
41:45She left me penniless.
41:47Yes, but...
41:48There's a but.
41:49The deception was mutual.
41:52She may have stolen your money,
41:54but if you had married her,
41:56you would have stolen her entire life.
41:58Neither of you was being honest.
42:01It's easier not to think of it that way.
42:03She got her just desserts.
42:06Now, thanks to your hard work,
42:07so have you.
42:13Mrs. Forte, please come upstairs.
42:48The spirits told me I would see you again.
42:51Oh, I've brought his watch.
42:54All in good time.
42:56Well, we will begin with Mrs. Forte, please.
43:01Lay your hands flat on the table.
43:04Yes.
43:04I'm glad you did not give up.
43:24Your husband has a message for you.
43:26He does?
43:27He wants you to know he loved you
43:30more than he loved anyone else.
43:33He did?
43:34And he knows how much you loved him.
43:38Let me see the watch.
43:40Oh, yes.
43:43Here it is.
43:53Your marriage wasn't long.
43:56No.
43:56Sadly, it wasn't.
43:59And your husband, he died quickly.
44:06Yes.
44:07Mr. Forte wants you to know
44:09that he wants you to have peace while on this earth
44:13and know that you will be reunited again.
44:17He told you all of this?
44:19Yes.
44:20He is here.
44:21He is?
44:24May I speak to him?
44:30Go ahead.
44:34Darling.
44:36I miss you so.
44:39Some mornings, I still reach out,
44:43hoping to find you next to me.
44:44I'm so utterly lost without you.
44:49It pains, Mr. Forte, to hear you say that.
44:54But he is very proud of the way you have conducted yourself
44:57since he's been gone.
44:58No.
45:00He is.
45:01He loves your pure heart.
45:04And he prays for your happiness
45:06while you are still in this world.
45:18How was your temperance meeting?
45:21Good.
45:22Rewarding, really.
45:24You sound quite perky.
45:26I'm glad.
45:27I've been thinking.
45:29I might start wearing a little more color.
45:32I only mean half-morning.
45:35Lilac, violet.
45:37But it's less sad than black.
45:41It certainly is.
45:44You rang, Mom.
45:46Ah, yes.
45:47Bannister.
45:49Mrs. Forte and I feel we have a right to know
45:52how much money our footman will make
45:54from his clock endeavor.
45:55Do not include me in this.
45:57Will you find out?
45:59Yes, Mom.
46:01Agnes, that was too intrusive a question.
46:04Not with John living under my roof.
46:06I...
46:06I know you have the money now,
46:08but this was my house
46:09for much longer than it's been yours.
46:12Oh.
46:15Oh, it's beautiful.
46:17He chose it himself.
46:19Oh, my Lord.
46:21Is it public yet?
46:23Not quite.
46:23Larry went to Arizona on business for his father.
46:26He wants it announced as soon as he returns.
46:28Oh.
46:29Well done.
46:30You're the first person who's been able to cheer me up.
46:33I'm happy to see you smile.
46:35I haven't done it in so long.
46:36It feels strange.
46:37I'm thrilled at your news.
46:40And so pleased you could come.
46:43At least I'll have one friend to talk to at Mrs. Fish's party.
46:47So Newport is as hard on divorcees as everywhere else?
46:51The locals are kinder.
46:53But this is the season's first big event with summer people from New York.
46:56They say that Mrs. Astor's coming, but I don't think she can be.
47:01Mrs. Fish wouldn't have asked me if she were.
47:03How is Mrs. Astor with you?
47:05I haven't seen her since the news broke.
47:07I've been here.
47:08She has troubles of her own.
47:10You heard her daughter's husband challenged her lover to a duel.
47:14I've read all about it in the papers.
47:16I confess, I don't often feel sorry for Mrs. Astor.
47:19Well, at least it should make her kinder towards you.
47:21I'm not sure.
47:23Lena Astor has her own ways of seeing things.
47:25Yes.
47:29So will you live here in Newport now?
47:32Maybe.
47:33The lawyers say I'll get the houses when it all goes through.
47:36How have they managed that?
47:38Charles is the adulterer, so the court favors me.
47:41I get the houses.
47:44But of course, he gets our friends and the life we live together.
47:51As soon as I think I have no more tears to shed, they come.
47:55Anyway, enough of all that.
48:02Let's talk of happier things.
48:04All right.
48:06But we should do it in the carriage or we'll be late to Mrs. Fish.
48:09Mrs. Astor, can we expect your daughter, Mrs. Drayton, to join us?
48:17Ah, no, I'm sorry.
48:18She won't be coming.
48:19That's too bad.
48:21Why is that?
48:22I wanted to thank her.
48:23She spoke to Gladys about life in Europe.
48:25Her advice was very helpful.
48:26Sometimes with Charlotte, we go back to Europe and make a life there.
48:31That might help us all.
48:32Miss Marion Brooke and Mrs. Fane.
48:40Miss Brooke.
48:42Mrs. Fane.
48:43I wasn't sure you'd come.
48:46I accepted the invitation.
48:47Well, you might not want to stay.
48:50You'll excuse me, Miss Brooke.
48:53Mrs. Astor was here.
48:55I wasn't sure she was going to make it from New York when I asked her.
48:58Aurora, you look well.
49:12Thank you for saying that.
49:13I feel like a pariah.
49:15I'm sorry.
49:17It's not your fault.
49:18I suspect Mrs. Astor may use you as a distraction from the gossip about her daughter's marital woes.
49:24I sympathize with them both.
49:26We're all so quick to see the moat in someone else's eye.
49:28I forget the plank in our room.
49:30Bless you.
49:32I wish I could do more.
49:33You've done so much already.
49:36Luncheon is served.
49:39Shall we?
49:42I'm sure you must understand.
49:46Mrs. Fane, I apologize.
49:48This is all very difficult and I'm not quite certain what I should do.
49:52Then I'll tell you.
49:52You should show Mrs. Fane to her seat.
49:54Please don't put me on the spot.
49:55I'll leave.
49:56I don't want to be the source of any trouble.
49:58Then I'll leave with you.
49:59But you can't.
50:00You're our main patron.
50:01If you go, they'll run for the doors.
50:03You should have thought of that.
50:04No, Bertha.
50:05I don't want to ruin the party for anyone.
50:07How will that help?
50:09I'll go.
50:10I can take Aurora home.
50:11That's so good of you, Miss Brooke.
50:13Very well.
50:13If you're sure.
50:14Yes.
50:15Come.
50:15I was invited to this when I was Mrs. Charles Fane.
50:25Now I'm no one.
50:26Oh, Aurora.
50:33Another lovely gathering, Mamie.
50:35I'm grateful to have this moment alone, though you may not be pleased with what I have to say.
50:40That sounds worrying.
50:42You're digging your own grave if you think you can bury Aurora Fane when Charlotte is headed for the divorce courts.
50:47Oh, Charlotte.
50:48Charlotte was always an unruly child, but I thought she'd grow out of it.
50:53We even let her choose her own husband, but unfortunately marriage didn't steady her.
50:58Now her failings have become fodder for the gossip mills.
51:01If you know that, then why are you stalking Mrs. Fane?
51:04Stalking?
51:07Charlotte is not getting a divorce.
51:09Mrs. Fane is.
51:11Even if Charlotte were to reconcile with Mr. Drayton, now that he has challenged her lover to a duel, they have opened a Pandora's box.
51:19Mamie, you must understand.
51:23I cannot weaken on this matter.
51:25Well then, you have one question to answer.
51:30And what is that?
51:31Are you willing to exile your own daughter from society?
51:35If not, you cannot exile Mrs. Fane.
51:42You have a difficult choice to make, Lena.
51:44I do not envy you.
51:47How was Newport, ma'am?
51:49I hope you had an enjoyable stay.
51:51That was interesting.
51:52Any news of our spying trader?
51:54Not yet, ma'am.
51:55I was right.
51:57Gladys is miserable.
51:58I should never have allowed you to bully her like that.
52:01What are you talking about?
52:02Read it.
52:02What's your great plan now, Bertha?
52:09This can be fixed and I'll see to it.
52:11I'll go to England.
52:12I don't know if I'm angry at you or myself.
52:13You made me weak.
52:16And I find that hard to forgive.
52:21Someone said the Gali have set sail the day after tomorrow.
52:23What will you say to her when you get there?
52:25You can't make her love him.
52:27I can fix this, believe me.
52:28That's the problem.
52:30I don't think I do believe you anymore.
52:31I can solve this sooner than you think.
52:33I'll be there before Larry even sets foot in Marenzi.
52:36I'll make everything right.
52:37Do what you want.
52:39Don't expect me to be here when you get back.
53:01I'll be there when you get back.
53:31I'll be there when you get back.
54:01I'll be there when you get back.
