00:03It's a boy. Perfect.
00:07George now has an heir, and my position is secure.
00:13Bella, kill her and clean this mess up.
00:17Miss Eleanor, you promised freedom once the child was born.
00:21Freedom? Look at you, covered in blood, no better than a kennel, bitch.
00:26Do you deserve freedom?
00:31Mother, save me!
00:35I'm not your mother. Never was.
00:39Nineteen years ago, I swapped my daughter with the Countess.
00:42My daughter became Lady Eleanor.
00:44And the Countess's daughter, you, became a maid.
00:49Now you even have to bear a child for my daughter.
00:52No, impossible!
00:58What's the racket?
00:59Lord George, they're trying to kill me.
01:02Save me, for the child I brought for you.
01:05Annoying. Silence her forever.
01:25Am I dead? Where am I?
01:28To ensure Lady Eleanor's health and her relationship with Vichant George remain unaffected by pregnancy, the most suitable among you
01:36will be chosen to bear their heir.
01:38This is three years ago. The day I was chosen as a surrogate maid.
01:48Too skinny. Next.
01:56My lady, Miss, Catherine is the most suitable. She's beautiful, well mannered and will fulfill the task perfectly.
02:05Good. Sign the contract and send her off.
02:07Countess, my real mother, I'm your true daughter, but if I speak now they'll call me mad.
02:12Wait. I'll return with proof and stand before you with dignity.
02:15Remember, Catherine, your only worth is to bear an heir for me at Hockmore. Complete the task faithfully, and I'll
02:22grant you freedom.
02:22I understand, Miss Eleanor. I'll bear the heir for you and Lord George as promised.
02:30For this life, I won't be deceived again. I'll marry your father-in-law, Duke William, the most powerful man
02:35in Hockmore.
02:36Once I'm the lady, I'll throw you all into that sewer myself.
02:46Henry, settle the horses. Report to the study in an hour.
02:49Yes, Your Grace. Welcome home.
02:54Duke William. The man I'm meant to marry. With his power, I'll crush every enemy who harmed me.
03:01This is the path I must walk in my new life.
03:07This is the strongest aphrodisia. Tonight, I'll make this powerful Duke remember me.
03:18Who are you? Why are you here so late?
03:20Forgive me, Your Grace. I'm Catherine, the new maid serving Lady Eleanor. I was sent to fetch water. The castle's
03:26so vast I got lost. It wasn't intentional.
03:29Eleanor's maid. From Windsor. Do you know the penalty for trespassing here at night?
03:34I-I-I know. Withing. Or the dungeons. Please, Your Grace. It was truly an accident.
03:38An accident? Or a carefully planned move?
03:41I was lost.
03:43I was lost. And now, you've found me.
04:09I was lost. And now, you've found me.
04:12Today's the day I'm supposed to share the bed with the villain. I need Duke William to see his own
04:18son lying beside the woman he desires.
04:27Catherine!
04:41Why are you coming from that direction?
04:43Miss, I got lost. The castle's like a maze at night. I took a wrong turn.
04:49Lost? To the Duke's study door? Your hair's disheveled. Your lips are swollen. Does that look like getting lost? Who
04:56do you think you're fooling?
04:58Remember why you were sent here?
05:03I-I-I swear I didn't mean to. The Duke found me. He was furious. Questioned me. Then let me
05:08go. I know my purpose.
05:10I'm here to help you and Lord George have a child. How could I dare to think otherwise?
05:16Your purpose? Exactly. Time to fulfill the agreement. Now let's go. To the Viscount's room. Right now.
05:28George? She's here.
05:33Ah. The little beauty.
05:37Don't waste time. Get it done today.
05:41No. Lord George-
05:43Silence! You do well to obey.
05:57I-I can't believe it.
06:02Ten years. I've never felt such a stirring for any woman. But last night, why did a mere maid shake
06:08me so? I need to uncover the truth about her.
06:15It was a maid last night. Catherine, serving Lady Eleanor. Find her, bring her to me at
06:22once.
06:22My lord, that girl, she's a contractual asset delivered by Countess Margaret and Lady Eleanor.
06:28Her sole purpose is to bear an heir for Lord George. And now, she's in Lord George's chambers.
06:35Today is the day to fulfill the contract.
06:49Finally quiet. Let's continue.
06:56You, Eleanor, chose you to bear my child. I'm sure you must be some special skill. Let's
07:03see if you're worthy.
07:06Hurry up, George. I don't plan to waste the whole day here.
07:10Then get out! Stop hovering!
07:12Why? I need to watch. Make sure she fulfills her duty.
07:19Damn. My stomach's killing me. Go to my study. Lefter will bring the medicine. Now.
07:25Now?
07:27Right now. Unless you want to be a widow.
07:35Finally quiet. Let's continue.
07:46What is this?
07:50Father, what brings you here?
07:53Father, I just- Get out!
08:02Look at me.
08:07Did you leave this last night?
08:09I-I-I was scared after last night. I didn't know what to do. I-I thought maybe you'd remember.
08:15But then Lady Eleanor found me. Brought me here. Told me to fulfill the agreement. I refused. Begged her. But
08:23-
08:23You're never to enter this room again. Or be near George. Understood?
08:27I understand. But I'm bound by contract to Lady Eleanor.
08:31I'll handle Eleanor's contract. From now on, you answer to me.
08:34Henry!
08:39Take her to the West Wing guest suite. Prepare clothes, necessities and reliable staff. Go clean yourself up.
08:45Yes, Your Grace.
08:51My lady, the Duke sent me to look after you. Thank you for saving me.
08:56I'd have been beaten to death by the Viscount and his wife otherwise.
09:00Don't mention it, Rebecca. But I need your help with something.
09:04Anything you ask, my lady.
09:08Slip this potion into Lord George's wine. Then tell Eleanor we're meeting in the East Wing's unused blue salon. We'll
09:16make those who wronged us pay.
09:20Consider it done, my lady.
09:30Miss, I swear I saw it. Lord George went in. And not long after, Catherine slipped in too. The door's
09:35shut and there's indecent noises coming from inside.
09:37How dare they betray me, slut!
09:46Bella!
09:53I wasn't lying, Mother. The Vinnet told me you've been obsessed with you.
09:57I knew my charm hadn't faded. If I could capture the Viscount and not rely on Eleanor, I would be
10:02able to fully enjoy my wealth and honor.
10:05Wait here for him. I'll leave you two alone.
10:15You came!
10:17My beauty. I knew you couldn't resist.
10:22No more games, sweetheart. You're mine.
10:42You old hag! How did you end up in my bed?
10:46I thought I was with Catherine.
10:48You thought she was Catherine? And you, Bella?
10:54Did you think you were someone else too?
10:57Or did you just seize the chance and not even spy your daughter's husband?
11:05Trap. This is a trap. Catherine did this. It must be her.
11:12I heard the noise. What happened?
11:15Perfect timing. Did you say that the Viscount asked me to wait for him here?
11:20Bella! You dare steal my husband?
11:24No. I mean, Catherine drugged me and brought me here.
11:29Me? Impossible. I've been in my room all afternoon. The maids can vouch.
11:34Enough! You disgust me, old witch.
11:38Guards! Kill her!
11:40Eleanor, save me. If I die, you won't fare well either. I'm your mother.
11:46If I could, please calm down.
11:48Perhaps, perhaps Lady Bella was merely momentarily misguided.
11:52She's humiliated you, yes, but she's served me for years.
11:55Execution's too harsh. Maybe confine-
11:57Harsh? She deserves death? Gouge her eyes, cut out her tongue first, then the dungeon.
12:01For your sake, I'll spare the execution.
12:04Do as you say.
12:06Thomas!
12:08No! Let me go!
12:16No! It wasn't me!
12:21It's Catherine, that devil. She orchestrated hell nor George to tell Lady Eleanor.
12:25You! You violent, treacherous demon.
12:30Silence!
12:30Is this how you treat your own mother?
12:33Are you my mother? You're just a pathetic, greedy old woman who forgot her place.
12:38A governess who tried to climb into her naga-tah's bed.
12:40You know the truth about your birth. I confess, I'll tell all. You're the true daughter of the Count. Stare
12:47me!
12:48Last life, you stole my life, my name, my mother. Gave me 19 years of slavery and a death in
12:52a sewer.
12:54Now pay with your eyes and tongue.
12:56No!
13:05The dungeon business. Is it done?
13:09Yes, Your Grace. As Lord George ordered.
13:12I don't care about George's orders. I asked about your business. Is it finished?
13:16He knows. How much does he expect?
13:19You play the part well, like a frightened lost lamb.
13:22Lambs don't leave tokens on a Duke's bed, or walk from a bloody dungeon with an aura of vengeance.
13:27Your Grace, I don't understand your meaning. I only-
13:30From the moment I almost saw you, I suspected. You're far more complex than you pretend.
13:35Who are you, really? What do you want?
13:43From the first time you got lost, and ended up in my bed, to now, kneeling here, you've been plotting
13:50your way closer to me, step by step.
13:53So tell me, what do you really want?
13:57I want my stolen life back, Your Grace. I am the Countess's true-born daughter.
14:04Proof?
14:04On my left shoulder blade, there's a maple leaf-shaped birthmark.
14:14What does a birthmark prove?
14:16There are records in the old medical logs of the Earl's household. Document, find the evidence, and it will prove
14:21everything.
14:23So you came to me? To use my sword for your revenge?
14:27Not just revenge. I need protection, Your Grace.
14:31I need a position high enough to stand against them. Just please.
14:37You're clever, Katrin. You know exactly how to manipulate a man's most primal instincts.
14:43I had no other choice.
14:46With such sexy lips, such a hot body, and so many secrets in your mind, how could I miss them
14:52so easily?
14:53Starting tomorrow, you move out of the maid's quarters. You'll take the position of my clerical assistant and reside in
14:57the chamber next to my study.
14:59You doing this?
15:00Keeping you under my watchful eye. Every move you make, every person you meet, I'll know about it. Surveillance, but
15:05also... protection.
15:09Yes, Your Grace.
15:12Katherine!
15:16Remember everything you've told me tonight. If even one word is a lie, you know the price of deceiving me.
15:23A size beneath the moonlight, like a pearl sinking into a deep pool. Pretty, but lacks a certain novelty.
15:40Novelty? Speaking of which, we've recently welcomed a novel figure at Hawkmoor.
15:47Look at this, Miss Katherine.
15:49Just days ago, she was my dotic maid, specifically tasked with bearing my husband's heir.
15:54Now, she's somehow transformed into a document assistant in the Duke's study.
15:59Even more numerically, she managed to get lost and end up in Your Grace's bed.
16:03Should we perhaps address her as...
16:06...Hawkmoor's Whore?
16:09Miss Eleanor, by slandering me so, aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone?
16:12That your mother, Bella, is the one who truly climbed into your husband's bed.
16:18Oh!
16:19You bish!
16:21I saw it with my own eyes in the blue salon, and she was so loud when having sex with
16:25your husband.
16:27You lowly whore!
16:38Miss, though I may be of humble birth, I am also the Duke's personally appointed clerk assistant.
16:43I only wish to do my job well.
16:46Why must you treat me this way?
16:48You bish! Don't play the innocent with me!
16:50You can fool the Duke, but not me!
16:53Watch me beat you to death!
16:55Stop!
17:05Your Grace! You've come just in time. I'm just lecturing this one who doesn't know the rules.
17:10I didn't ask you.
17:17Does it hurt?
17:20Your Grace! She started it! She provoked me first!
17:28What I saw was her not crossing any boundaries, while you struck her!
17:34By Hockmore law, anyone who strikes another without cause receives twenty lashes and is banished from the castle!
17:42Your Grace!
17:43I have respect for your family name, and because you are my daughter-in-law, I'll spare you this time.
17:47I hope this is the last time.
17:52The injury on your face needs ice. Come with me.
17:56No, I'm not!
17:58No, I'm not!
18:03No, I'm not!
18:04No, I'm not!
18:09Come here, Jennie.
18:11Put this into the rose soap Catherine uses every day.
18:17I want her to weaken slowly, silently.
18:19her skin to rot her hair to fall out miss it's too dangerous what if we're
18:26caught do it right away otherwise you'll be sold to the brothel at the docks

18:43this rose soap smells wrong beneath the sweet rose scent lies a pungent metallic
18:49odor arsenic mixture Eleanor your clumsy trick from a past life do you really
18:54think it'll work again this time you'll never imagine that this sneaky move of
18:58yours will backfire on you but for me it's the perfect opportunity to gain the
19:02duke's sympathy and care Rebecca starting from tomorrow tell everyone that I'm
19:07sick headache fatigue loss of appetite but you're not just do as I say
19:15also there's something wrong with this soap someone mixed it with chronic
19:19poison trying to disfigure me swap it tonight with the one and Eleanor usually
19:23uses in her bathroom swap it you mean use her own poison against
19:29yes the gift she gave of course should be tasted by her herself be careful don't be

20:26Duke's affection to me is growing bit by bit the goal is getting closer this act
20:31must be played to the end
20:38why do I lose so much hair it's so itchy
20:52this smell this damn smell it was supposed to be in Catherine's room
20:56well chance did it end up here
21:01Catherine you vicious
21:03how dare you how dare you do this to me I swear I will make you pay a hundredfold a
21:11thousandfold price
21:16your grace take a look these rashes all over my hands and my face
21:26it's all that wicked Catherine's doing she poisoned the soap trying to disfigure me to kill me
21:32is there such a thing Eleanor within Hockmore Castle accusations against anything or anyone require evidence
21:40go back to your room first I will have Henry investigate this thoroughly
21:44I know your grace I swear it's her you must avenge me
21:49I said I will handle it
21:53all right your grace I'm waiting for your investigation results
22:03Eleanor's maid Jenny has confessed everything
22:07she admitted that it was Mrs. Eleanor herself who ordered her to add the poison to the soap
22:12targeting Miss Catherine
22:13but somehow that poison soap ended up being used by Mrs. Eleanor herself
22:21evidence
22:22Jenny handed over the remaining powder of the poison
22:27this is it
22:28we found the apothecary who sold it
22:30he confirmed that the purchaser was Mrs. Eleanor's personal maid
22:34and described her appearance and the amount of gold coins she paid which were consistent with the fact
22:40plot harm then file false accusations to cover it up
22:44pure evil and unforgivable
22:47she must be severely punished
22:49your grace
22:55Mrs. Eleanor has already been punished
22:57she harmed herself with her own poison
23:00perhaps no additional punishment is needed
23:02just restricting Mrs. Eleanor's movements is enough
23:05let us stay in her room and reflect on her mistakes
23:09Eleanor Windsor from today is confined to her room not to leave without my express permission
23:14remove most of her servants leaving only Cato to serve allowances providing on only the basic living
23:18Mrs. Eleanor and Mrs. Eleanor
23:21father
23:22I heard you mean to punish Eleanor
23:24she is my wife
23:26you cannot do this to her
23:28precisely because she's your wife that I must punish her
23:32as the young mistress of Hotmore Castle instead of setting an example plotted to harm others
23:36it's unforgivable
23:38father
23:40she might just be confused for a moment
23:42this is an order George
23:51is this what you want?
23:53what?
23:54this play
23:55was performed extremely wonderful
23:59right and wrong good and evil I believe
24:02you has own judgment
24:04you still chose to help me didn't you?
24:07I wonder how many secrets are still hidden in you
24:21your... your grace? what are you going to do?
24:26why did you plead for her?
24:29you know she deserved punishment you know she tried to kill you
24:32I know
24:34but why?
24:38because I didn't want this to be hard for you
24:42hard for me?
24:44she's your daughter-in-law
24:45George is your son
24:48if you punished her severely
24:50there would be a rift between father and son
24:56you were thinking of me
24:58can I?
25:04Catherine
25:06do you know what I hate the most?
25:08being played especially by woman I can't see through
25:15every step you take is perfectly timed
25:19every word you speak falls at exactly the right moment
25:24you made me investigate your past
25:26you showed me your scars
25:28you made me
25:29unable to resist protecting you
25:33what if I told you
25:35I'm not playing you
25:38then tell me
25:40what part of you is real?
25:44that I didn't want this to be hard for you
25:47that part
25:49is real
25:50then prove it
25:57you still don't trust me
25:59you're too perfect
26:00Catrin
26:01every appearance is flawlessly timed
26:03every word strikes a chord in my heart
26:05the perfect victim
26:06the perfect avenger
26:08the perfect
26:09temptress
26:11then why do you still?
26:13I want you
26:14but I won't let myself fall in love with you
26:18what if I told you
26:20this moment I'm giving myself to you willingly
26:23would you believe it?
26:32Damn Catrin
26:34she's actually hooked up with Duke
26:35it won't be long before she's riding on our heads
26:38my father wouldn't be serious about a servant
26:41I need to teach her a lesson to make her know her place
26:49Catherine
26:50perhaps you'd favour us with a tune on the harsh accord
26:53she's been a maid all her life
26:55how would she know how to play?
26:58as a maid
26:59if she fails to meet her master's demands
27:01orking to the rules
27:02she will be slapped in public
27:04and then expelled from the house
27:05we can't possibly play
27:08if you want to listen
27:09I'll play a piece as you wish
27:11cut the axe
27:13how could a lowborn trash
27:14like you possibly play the harpsichord
27:30she is so talented
27:37oh my goodness
27:38this skill is more exquisite
27:40than that of a court musician
27:42she's a maid
27:43what?
27:46mother
27:47look at Catherine
27:48as a maid
27:49she's not content with her duties
27:51but shows off at the ball
27:52she's humiliating me
27:54even the most refined skill
27:56cannot change a lowborn nature
27:59mother
27:59I'm your biological daughter
28:01you stand with the one who harmed me
28:03and speak of my nature
28:04lowborn
28:05who said she's a maid?
28:07Catherine is my personally appointed clerk
28:09and an honoured guest of Hockmore Castle
28:11anyone who calls her a maid again
28:14is insulting this ducal house
28:17even if that someone is my own son and daughter
28:20just how many more surprises are hidden inside you
28:30Eleanor
28:30your mother is unwell
28:32it's time you escorted her back
28:38mother you don't recognise me
28:39but one day I'll make you see the truth
28:42see who is truly lowborn
28:44you
