00:01:51,735 --> 00:01:53,Mr. Russell is expecting me.

00:01:54,237 --> 00:01:57,If you'll come this way, sir,
Mr. Russell is in the library.

00:02:00,827 --> 00:02:02,Mr. Tate.

00:02:05,623 --> 00:02:07,I thought it was your father
I was here to see.

00:02:08,167 --> 00:02:10,I hope I'm not a disappointment.

00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:15,But there is to be a reception
at their home

00:02:15,632 --> 00:02:17,which the president will attend

00:02:17,384 --> 00:02:19,and Mrs. Roebling
will be the hostess.

00:02:19,219 --> 00:02:22,- Isn't that enough?
- No, not nearly.

00:02:22,138 --> 00:02:24,Mrs. Roebling has been
managing construction

00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:25,of the eighth wonder of the world.

00:02:25,892 --> 00:02:27,She took orders from her husband

00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,and she will be thanked for it
by the mayor at the opening.

00:02:29,854 --> 00:02:31,Mr. Roebling has been
convalescent for years.

00:02:32,064 --> 00:02:33,He couldn't have
given directions every day

00:02:33,816 --> 00:02:34,even if he wanted to.

00:02:35,526 --> 00:02:38,To reveal now
that the Brooklyn Bridge

00:02:38,237 --> 00:02:42,is largely the work of a woman
would make men afraid to cross it.

00:02:43,283 --> 00:02:44,She told me you'd say that.

00:02:44,784 --> 00:02:48,I cannot endanger the whole event
out of pity for Mrs. Roebling.

00:02:51,541 --> 00:02:53,That's disappointing to hear.

00:03:04,386 --> 00:03:06,- Well?
- The men are back to work

00:03:06,555 --> 00:03:08,and the mills
are running at full production.

00:03:08,974 --> 00:03:10,You sound surprised.

00:03:10,392 --> 00:03:12,I'm not at all surprised,
given the offer you made.

00:03:12,435 --> 00:03:15,More safeguards, medical care,
children's park.

00:03:15,563 --> 00:03:17,It was a list from a fairy tale.

00:03:17,106 --> 00:03:18,Don't forget the pay raise.

00:03:18,357 --> 00:03:20,You joke, but you've broken
your word to the others.

00:03:20,776 --> 00:03:23,I have only done what
they will all do sooner or later.

00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,- You mean give in?
- Not quite.

00:03:25,447 --> 00:03:28,I've offered a modest raise
on a six-month contract

00:03:28,617 --> 00:03:29,to the tradesmen

00:03:29,826 --> 00:03:31,- and only to the tradesmen.
- Exactly.

00:03:31,745 --> 00:03:33,It will split the union
down the middle.

00:03:33,872 --> 00:03:36,And when it does,
we will reassert our control.

00:03:36,958 --> 00:03:38,So you tricked them?

00:03:38,167 --> 00:03:39,I prefer to call it tactics.

00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,By the time the contract lapses

00:03:42,964 --> 00:03:45,the craftsmen and the laborers
will hate each other.

00:03:45,257 --> 00:03:48,And everyone will hate
the Catholic immigrants and the Jews.

00:03:48,510 --> 00:03:52,In the meantime,
get Henderson back to New York.

00:03:52,306 --> 00:03:54,We'll have a photograph taken
of my shaking his hand.

00:03:54,850 --> 00:03:57,- To celebrate your victory.
- Certainly not.

00:03:57,102 --> 00:04:00,For now,
he must look like the winner.

00:04:03,441 --> 00:04:05,I'll have one more, please.
They're quite tasty.

00:04:05,818 --> 00:04:07,Are you all right, Miss Armstrong?

00:04:07,236 --> 00:04:09,- Yes. Why?
- Well, you said something nice.

00:04:09,613 --> 00:04:11,I can't compliment
Mrs. Bauer's cooking?

00:04:11,532 --> 00:04:13,Oh, you can,
but it's just so unlike you.

00:04:14,034 --> 00:04:15,I give praise when it is deserved.

00:04:16,036 --> 00:04:17,- So, John.
- Yes, Mr. Bannister.

00:04:17,913 --> 00:04:20,I have a friend coming here
this afternoon, a Mr. Schubert.

00:04:20,916 --> 00:04:22,I wrote to him about your predicament

00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:23,and he's agreed to meet you

00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,to see if there's anything to be done
about your patent.

00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:28,But they turned me down.
Isn't that the end of it?

00:04:28,631 --> 00:04:30,Well, Mr. Schubert will know.

00:04:30,383 --> 00:04:33,He's the secretary of the Uhrmacher
Verein der Stadt New York.

00:04:34,053 --> 00:04:35,Do you speak German now?

00:04:35,596 --> 00:04:36,What does it mean?

00:04:36,722 --> 00:04:39,The Watchmakers' Association
of the City of New York.

00:04:39,474 --> 00:04:42,It was founded by some German
clockmakers at the end of the war

00:04:43,061 --> 00:04:45,and now it wields
considerable influence.

00:04:45,355 --> 00:04:46,Why would he bother with me?

00:04:47,065 --> 00:04:48,As a favor to me.

00:04:48,608 --> 00:04:50,How exciting.

00:04:50,151 --> 00:04:51,Shouldn't you take the silver up?

00:04:52,528 --> 00:04:53,Right away.

00:04:57,700 --> 00:04:59,You sure you feel up to going?

00:05:00,327 --> 00:05:02,I do, it's Marian's engagement.

00:05:03,330 --> 00:05:05,She'll understand.

00:05:05,123 --> 00:05:07,I can represent us both.

00:05:07,292 --> 00:05:09,There's no need
to put yourself through it.

00:05:10,003 --> 00:05:13,I intend to keep living my life
while I can.

00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:16,I just worry
that if you go over there

00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:19,Agnes will try to persuade us again
to move in with her.

00:05:20,388 --> 00:05:22,I'd rather we stay here.

00:05:22,723 --> 00:05:24,I won't leave your side.

00:05:25,017 --> 00:05:28,You may tire of me,
but I'm not going anywhere.

00:05:29,187 --> 00:05:32,I will never grow weary of you,
Mrs. Forte.

00:05:37,195 --> 00:05:38,What do you think of this one?

00:05:38,821 --> 00:05:41,It's pretty. They're all pretty.

00:05:44,368 --> 00:05:48,It just feels wrong
when Uncle Luke is so ill.

00:05:48,414 --> 00:05:50,Mrs. Forte won't grudge it.

00:05:50,457 --> 00:05:52,She's glad you're engaged.

00:05:52,084 --> 00:05:54,They wouldn't come
to the luncheon otherwise.

00:05:55,295 --> 00:05:57,Was I right to accept him?

00:05:58,340 --> 00:06:00,Well, only you can answer that.

00:06:01,009 --> 00:06:02,But he seems a nice man.

00:06:02,552 --> 00:06:04,He is nice.

00:06:04,470 --> 00:06:08,And kind. And a good father,
and all of those things.

00:06:08,808 --> 00:06:11,Are you trying to persuade yourself?

00:06:13,979 --> 00:06:15,Not at all.

00:06:15,939 --> 00:06:17,I ** persuaded.

00:06:17,316 --> 00:06:19,Then enjoy your luncheon in peace.

00:06:20,277 --> 00:06:21,Yes, I will.

00:06:22,862 --> 00:06:25,I thought you'd be overjoyed.

00:06:26,157 --> 00:06:27,To be honest, I'm stunned.

00:06:27,742 --> 00:06:30,Well, I've pulled a lot of strings

00:06:30,411 --> 00:06:32,and I'm afraid
I've pushed others aside

00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:34,to get you to the top of the list.

00:06:34,498 --> 00:06:36,For which I'm grateful, of course.

00:06:36,208 --> 00:06:38,Wasn't a box at the Academy
what you've always wanted?

00:06:40,212 --> 00:06:41,It was.

00:06:41,338 --> 00:06:42,And now you have it.

00:06:42,923 --> 00:06:46,So can we put
this Metropolitan business to rest?

00:06:47,427 --> 00:06:49,I must discuss it with Mr. Russell.

00:06:50,013 --> 00:06:52,I think he'll be
very pleased for you.

00:06:56,894 --> 00:06:58,I should be on my way.

00:06:58,854 --> 00:07:01,There's so much to do for the opening
of the Brooklyn Bridge.

00:07:01,940 --> 00:07:04,Mr. Russell is one of the trustees.

00:07:04,234 --> 00:07:05,We're watching the opening itself

00:07:05,819 --> 00:07:08,and then we'll go to a reception
that Mrs. Roebling is giving.

00:07:08,405 --> 00:07:10,Yes, I know. I'm helping her with it.

00:07:10,573 --> 00:07:13,She's never entertained
for a president before.

00:07:13,910 --> 00:07:15,Quite a responsibility.

00:07:15,453 --> 00:07:16,I suppose.

00:07:16,579 --> 00:07:18,President Arthur is a nice man

00:07:18,789 --> 00:07:21,and I believe
he was successful as a lawyer.

00:07:21,375 --> 00:07:24,But his origins
are not exactly inspiring.

00:07:25,004 --> 00:07:26,You know him, then.

00:07:26,380 --> 00:07:28,We meet in the way of things.

00:07:28,590 --> 00:07:30,I'll present you, if you like.

00:07:30,467 --> 00:07:31,I should be honored.

00:07:31,885 --> 00:07:33,That's settled, then.

00:07:35,889 --> 00:07:39,Will I be seeing you at Mrs. Fane's
charity committee this week?

00:07:39,642 --> 00:07:41,- You will.
- Might you have spoken

00:07:41,185 --> 00:07:43,to Mr. Russell
about the Academy box by then?

00:07:44,272 --> 00:07:46,- I should think so.
- Good.

00:07:46,649 --> 00:07:49,I'm sure he'll be delighted, my dear.

00:07:53,405 --> 00:07:55,Your carriage is ready,...
