A Victorian noblewoman wakes in her own descendant only to find her oncenoble family name tainted

Transcript

00:00Time swept away, the world I once knew, and somehow left me here.

00:05Now, I return as the long-lost heiress of Carraway Corp,

00:09the girl who vanished in childhood and has finally returned from the countryside.

00:14There can be only one explanation, that I was called for a purpose, still waiting to be fulfilled.

00:21Do not keep Mr. Carraway waiting, you little brat.

00:24Little brat? Is she talking about me?

00:27What did you just say?

00:30I meant welcome home, Ms. Carraway.

00:33Something about her feels different.

00:37That's what I thought you said. After you.

00:52Sir, Ms. Genevieve Carraway has returned.

00:55So she does have manners?

00:58Clearly.

01:00The dirt and mosquitoes from the countryside practically followed her in.

01:06Vincent Carraway, my biological father. He doesn't seem to be too fond of me.

01:13Genevieve, my darling, you're finally home.

01:18Elaine likes me enough.

01:20Oh, Mommy is so happy to see you.

01:28But Sierra is clearly her favorite.

01:36Mommy!

01:36Oh, my baby!

01:37Are you okay?

01:38What just happened?

01:40What just happened?

01:40Makes sense.

01:42She's lived in my absence for 20 years now.

01:45She probably feels threatened by my return.

01:52Come, come in.

01:53Come in.

01:55Let's get you cleaned up.

01:56As a Carraway, she's expected to uphold a certain standard.

02:10As a Carraway, she's expected to uphold a certain standard.

02:24May, hire someone to train her.

02:28She's not to step outside this house until she's taught how to behave.

02:32Yes, Mr. Carraway.

02:35Dad's right.

02:37I take one look at her and I know she grew up with no discipline.

02:42It's because she didn't go to college.

02:47I don't know what you're expecting her to learn.

02:49Poor little country mouse.

02:51She doesn't even stand a chance here.

02:53Not in my world.

02:54Mason, don't be rude.

02:55Why are you being so quiet?

03:03Country cat, got your tongue?

03:12Grandfather, I was taught that one must not interrupt,

03:15especially if the elder of the family is addressing the room.

03:18Surely it's the manners that sets us Carraways apart.

03:21Wouldn't you agree?

03:22She's absolutely right.

03:26Have you all forgotten your manners?

03:33Now that's how a lady speaks.

03:36I may not have been raised here,

03:38but the Carraway blood in me flows as true as ever.

03:42It knows when it's home.

03:45You are indeed one of us.

03:48The eldest daughter of the house,

03:50Genevieve Carraway has come home.

03:53Remember, manners maketh man.

04:23The heart may gathering is in two days.

04:36You will go.

04:38It's time the world sees you for who you are.

04:42My granddaughter

04:43and the rightful heir of this house.

04:47A shame, how the heiress turned out.

04:52Nothing but petty snobs.

04:54Seems I'll have to remind them

04:56what it means to bear the name.

04:58Do you throw out this trash?

05:22Your sister adores these magazines.

05:25All you young women do.

05:26Mrs. Lane picked them out especially for you.

05:29Should I find someone else who can take orders?

05:32No, ma'am.

05:34Um, acting all high and mighty.

05:37Excuse me.

05:39If you don't want to work for me,

05:40you're free to leave.

05:42My family has been working for the Carraways

05:44for generations.

05:46Surely you're not going to dismiss me on your first day.

05:48Then surely you understand that this place

05:50is no household for disobedience, correct?

05:55You are absolutely right.

05:57I will get rid of the trash as instructed.

06:03Everyone in this house sees me as an outsider.

06:06Yet I must reclaim my place here.

06:09And before I do,

06:10I have much to catch up on

06:12in this strange time we live in.

06:14She was reading what?

06:18Modern history and civil law.

06:21For hours.

06:22She finished all the books

06:23and then asked for more.

06:24Why was she reading all of that?

06:26I don't know.

06:28There's something very off about her.

06:30I mean, the entire time I was cleaning,

06:32she sat at her desk like I wasn't even there.

06:34Ugh, what a fucking weirdo.

06:37She was probably trying to impress Static Grandpa.

06:40Yeah, well, she brought her temper with her

06:42from the countryside too.

06:43Really?

06:45But she was so nice in front of Grandma.

06:47No!

06:47That was an act, Sierra.

06:50God, you can take the girl out of the country.

06:52You can't take the country out of the girl.

06:54She's filthy.

06:57Mason, she's still her sister.

06:59No.

07:00She's a country bumpkin.

07:02She's a stain on this family.

07:05He's right.

07:06This backwards bitch

07:08is nothing to be worried about.

07:09So, legally speaking,

07:20the estate gets passed to the spouse,

07:22children, and parents,

07:23and since I'm blood-related,

07:25that gives me the rightful claim

07:27whether they like it or not.

07:28Oh.

07:39Miss Carraway, I'm your etiquette coach.

07:55Your lesson starts at nine o'clock sharp

07:59every morning.

08:00Please don't delay today's lesson

08:03any further.

08:13Your father hired me

08:15to teach you proper etiquette.

08:17How can you teach me etiquette

08:18when you have none?

08:19Is that any way

08:22for a lady

08:22to speak to her instructor?

08:24A lady's quarters

08:24is no place for a civilian.

08:26Your father sent me...

08:28My father sent you

08:29to teach me etiquette,

08:31not invade my privacy.

08:32And from what I see,

08:33so...

08:34You're not even qualified.

08:35How dare you!

08:37And now you're raising

08:38your voice at me.

08:39Your employer.

08:41Well, I guess now

08:43I'm your former employer.

08:44What are you saying?

08:45I'm saying you better let go.

08:49I hear you were so rude.

08:57Your etiquette, instructor, quit?

08:59I was not being rude.

09:00You're lying to me now?

09:01Genevieve, please.

09:03The instructor told us everything.

09:06I merely voiced my concerns

09:07that her performance

09:08was not satisfactory

09:09and that it was within my right

09:12to let her go.

09:13And that I had every right to worry

09:15because she's now making up lies about me.

09:18I don't know how you're saying

09:19you were raised,

09:19but in this household,

09:21I'm in charge of all hiring

09:22and firing.

09:24You got that?

09:30Forgive me, grandfather,

09:32for I've meant no disrespect.

09:35I may have overstepped

09:36by dismissing the coach,

09:38but I did so in the interest

09:39of preserving our name.

09:41You spent your whole life

09:43upholding the Carraway legacy,

09:45and I couldn't,

09:46in good conscience,

09:48allow a fraud

09:49to profit off our reputation.

09:52Father,

09:54I hope your next appointment

09:56will be made with discernment.

09:58we wouldn't want to repeat

10:00on how you handled

10:01Grandfather's last project,

10:03would we?

10:05Wasting time

10:06scolding this sensible girl

10:07when you should be picking out

10:09a gift for the

10:10Bodley's birthday banquet.

10:11Come along,

10:13my dear.

10:21She's just

10:22barring the old man up

10:23to turn against me.

10:26Don't worry,

10:27Daddy.

10:28Her good manners

10:28won't last for long.

10:31Tomorrow at the banquet,

10:32I'll make sure

10:33Grandpa sees right through her.

10:34I'll make sure

10:35I'll make sure

10:36you'll be right back.

10:37I'll make sure

10:38you'll be right back.

10:39Bye.

10:40Bye.

10:41Bye.
