"A distinguished Wessex family
was delighted 35 years ago...
:56:05
"when he proposed marriage
to their youngest daughter.
:56:08
"Presumably, they did not know
that Julian Fleury's mother...
:56:12
who died in childbirth,
was a Jamaican with colored ancestry."
:56:19
Is it true?
:56:34
It's true.
:56:37
What were you lashing out at
when you tried to slap me?
:56:40
Your own guilt?
Your betrayal of us?
:56:42
- Betrayal? Your mother never knew.
- She knew.
:56:44
- Didn't you, Mother?
- Yes, I knew.
:56:48
But how?
:56:50
An anonymous letter.
It came years ago.
:56:54
- And you never mentioned it.
- I saw no reason to.
:56:57
I wanted to keep things
as they were.
:56:59
- Faithful wife, noble mother-
- Maxwell, stop it!
:57:02
How do you
expect him to feel?
:57:04
How do you think I feel?
:57:06
To believe that you belong
to one kind of a world, and then, suddenly-
:57:12
When I asked you if there was any reason
why I shouldn't marry Euan, you said no.
:57:16
I said there was
no good reason.
:57:19
How can you say that?
Euan's heir to a title.
:57:23
Can you picture a black man
sitting in the House of Lords if we had a son?
:57:27
There's no need to exaggerate.
:57:29
My mother was three-quarters white.
:57:31
I've only 1/16 of colored blood.
:57:33
The chances are your children
will be completely white!
:57:39
Bradshaw was right.
All this whispering, all this secrecy.
:57:47
How shall I face it here?
:57:50
Will you listen to me,
quietly, for a minute?
:57:53
At the start of any misfortune, one always
feels that the end of the world has come.
:57:58
Well, the end of mine has.
