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.
00:45And the Countess's daughter, YOU, became a maid.
00:49Now you even have to bear a child for my daughter.
00:52No, impossible!
00:57What's the racket?
00:59No, George! They're trying to kill me!
01:02Save me! For the child, I won't fear!
01:06Annoying. Silence her forever.
01:26Am 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
01:37will 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.
02:23I understand, Miss Eleanor. I'll bear the heir for you and Lord George as promised.
02:30This life, I won't be deceived again. I'll marry your father-in-law, Duke William, the most powerful man in
02:35Hockmore.
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.
02:50Yes, 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.
03:26The castle's so 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. Whitting. Or the dungeons. Please, Your Grace, it was truly an accident.
03:38An accident? Or a carefully planned mood?
03:42I was lost. And now, you've found me.
03:51An accident?
04:12Today's the day I'm supposed to share the bed with the villette.
04:16I need Duke William to see his own son lying beside the woman he desires.
04:41Why are you coming from that direction?
04:44Miss, I got lost.
04:45The castle's like a maze at night.
04:47I took a wrong turn.
04:49Lost?
04:49To the Duke's study door?
04:51Your hair's disheveled.
04:53Your lips are swollen.
04:54Does that look like getting lost?
04:56Who do you think you're fooling?
04:59Remember why you were sent here.
05:04I swear I didn't mean to.
05:06The Duke found me.
05:06He was furious.
05:07Question me.
05:08Then let me go.
05:09I know my purpose.
05:10I'm here to help you and Lord George have a child.
05:13How could I dare to think otherwise?
05:15Your purpose?
05:18Exactly.
05:19Time to fulfill the agreement.
05:22Now let's go.
05:23To the Viscount's room.
05:26Right now.
05:28George.
05:30She's here.
05:33Ah, the little beauty.
05:38Don't waste time.
05:39Get it done today.
05:41No.
05:42Lord George.
05:43Silence.
05:43Silence.
05:44You do well to obey.
05:46Ah!
05:49Ah!
05:54Ah!
05:56Ah!
05:56Ah!
06:02Ah!
06:04Ah!
06:07Ah!
06:08Shake me, sir. I need to uncover the truth about her.
06:13Your Grace.
06:15There was a maid last night. Catherine, serving Lady Eleanor.
06:20Find her. Bring her to me at once.
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.
06:30And now, she's in Lord George's chambers.
06:36Today is the day to fulfill the contract.
06:49Finally quiet. Let's continue.
06:57You, Eleanor, chose you to bear my child.
07:00I'm sure you must be some special skill.
07:03Let's see if you're worthy.
07:06Hurry up, George. I don't plan to waste the whole day here.
07:10Then get out! Stop hovering!
07:13Why?
07:14I need to watch. Make sure she fulfills her duty.
07:19Damn. My stomach's kidding me.
07:22Go to my study. Leftry will bring the medicine. Now.
07:25Now?
07:27Right now. Unless you want to be a widow.
07:35Finally quiet.
07:38Let's continue.
07:39Let's continue.
07:46What is this?
07:50F-father!
07:51What brings you here?
07:53I just-
07:54Get out!
08:03Look at me.
08:07Did you leave this last night?
08:09I-
08:10I-
08:10I was scared after last night. I didn't know what to do.
08:13I-
08:13I thought maybe you'd remember.
08:15But then Lady Eleanor found me.
08:18Brought me here.
08:19Told me to fulfill the agreement.
08:21I refused. Begged her. But-
08:23You're never to enter this room again.
08:25Or be near George. Understood?
08:27I understand.
08:28But I'm bound by contract to Lady Eleanor.
08:31I'll handle Eleanor's contract.
08:32From now on, you answer to me.
08:34Henry!
08:39Take her to the West Wing guest suite.
08:41Prepare clothes, necessities, and reliable staff.
08:43Go clean yourself up.
08:46Yes, Your Grace.
08:52My lady, the Duke sent me to look after you.
08:54Thank 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.
09:02But I need your help with something.
09:04Anything you ask, my lady.
09:09Slip this potion into Lord George's wine.
09:11Then tell Eleanor we're meeting in the East Wing's unused blue salon.
09:16We'll make those who wronged us pay.
09:20Consider it done, my lady.
09:30Miss! I swear I saw it!
09:32Lord George went in.
09:33And not long after, Catherine slipped in too.
09:35The door's shut and there's indecent noises coming from inside.
09:37How dare they betray me, slut!
09:39I swear I saw it!
09:47Bella!
09:54I wasn't lying, Mother.
09:55The Vinnet told me you've been obsessed with you.
09:57I knew my charm hadn't faded.
09:59If I could capture the Viscount and not rely on Eleanor,
10:02I would be able to fully enjoy my wealth and honour.
10:06Wait here for him.
10:07I'll leave you two alone.
10:15You came!
10:17My beauty.
10:19I knew you couldn't resist.
10:22No more games, sweetheart.
10:24You're mine.
10:42You old hag!
10:43How did you end up in my bed?
10:46I thought I was with Catherine.
10:49You thought she was Catherine?
10:51And you, Bella?
10:54Did you think you were someone else too?
10:57Or did you just seize the chance and not even spare your daughter's husband?
11:12I heard the noise.
11:14I heard the noise.
11:15What happened?
11:16I heard the noise.
11:16Perfect timing.
11:17Did you say that the Viscount asked me to wait for him here?
11:20Bella!
11:22You dare steal my husband?
11:24No.
11:25I mean, Catherine drugged me and brought me here.
11:29Me?
11:30Impossible.
11:31I've been in my room all afternoon.
11:33The maids can vouch.
11:35Enough!
11:36You disgust me, old witch.
11:38Guards!
11:39Kill her!
11:40Eleanor, save me.
11:41If I die, you won't fare well either.
11:44I'm your mum.
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.
11:54The execution's too harsh.
11:56Maybe confine...
11:57Harsh?
11:58She deserves death.
11:59Gouge her eyes, cut out her tongue first, then the dungeon.
12:02For your sake, I'll spare the execution.
12:05Do as you say.
12:06Thomas!
12:08Ah!
12:08No!
12:11Let me go!
12:16No!
12:18It wasn't me!
12:21It's Catherine, that devil.
12:22She orchestrated how not George to tell Lady Eleanor.
12:25You!
12:26You violent, treacherous demon!
12:30Silence!
12:31Is this how you treat your own mother?
12:32Are you my mother?
12:34You're just a pathetic, greedy old woman who forgot her place.
12:38A governess who tried to climb into Hanagatard's bed.
12:41You know the truth about your birth.
12:43I confess, I'll tell all.
12:45You're the true daughter of the Count.
12:47Stare me!
12:48Last life, you stole my life, my name, my mother.
12:50Gave me nineteen years of slavery and a death in a sewer.
12:54Now pay with your eyes and tongue.
12:57No!
13:05The dungeon business.
13:07Is it done?
13:08Yes, your grace.
13:10As Lord George ordered.
13:12I don't care about George's orders.
13:14I asked about your business.
13:15Is it finished?
13:16He knows.
13:17How 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.
13:30I only...
13:30From the moment I almost saw you, I suspected.
13:33You're far more complex than you pretend.
13:35Who are you, really?
13:36What do you want?
13:43From the first time you got lost and ended up in my bed to now, kneeling here,
13:50you've been plotting your 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.
13:59I 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.
14:19Document, find the evidence, and it will prove everything.
14:23So you came to me?
14:25To use my sword for your revenge?
14:27Not just revenge.
14:29I need protection, your grace.
14:31I need a position high enough to stand against them.
14:34Just please.
14:37You're clever, Katrin.
14:39You 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.
14:55You'll take the position of my clerical assistant and reside in the chamber next to my study.
14:59You doing this?
15:00Keeping you under my watchful eye.
15:01Every move you make, every person you meet, I'll know about it.
15:05Surveillance, but also...
15:07Protection.
15:08Protection.
15:10Yes, your grace.
15:12Catherine.
15:16Remember everything you've told me tonight.
15:19If even one word is a lie, you know the price of deceiving me.
15:24A size beneath the moonlight, like a pearl sinking into a deep pool.
15:30Pretty, but lacks a certain novelty.
15:40Novelty?
15:41Speaking of which, we've recently welcomed a novel figure at Hawkmoor.
15:47Look at this, Miss Catherine.
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 memoricably, she managed to get lost and end up in her grace's bed.
16:03Should we perhaps address her as...
16:06Hawkmoor'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, you bitch!
16:21I saw it with my own eyes in the blue salon,
16:23and she was so loud when having sex with your husband.
16:27You lowly whore!
16:37Miss, though I may be of humble birth,
16:40but 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 bitch!
16:49Don'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,
17:06you've come just in time.
17:08I'm just lecturing this one who doesn't know the rules.
17:10I didn't ask you.
17:17Does it hurt?
17:20Your Grace,
17:21she started it,
17:22she provoked me first.
17:28What I saw was her not crossing any boundaries,
17:31while you struck her.
17:34By Hockmore law,
17:36anyone who strikes another without cause
17:38receives twenty lashes,
17:40and is banished from the castle.
17:42Your Grace,
17:43I have respect for your family name,
17:45and because you are my daughter-in-law,
17:46I'll spare you this time.
17:47I hope this is the last time.
17:52The injury on your face needs ice.
17:55Come with me.
18:09Come here, Jenny.
18:12Put this into the rose soap
18:14Catherine uses every day.
18:16I want her to weaken slowly,
18:19silently.
18:20Her skin to rot,
18:21her hair to fall out.
18:24Miss, it's too dangerous.
18:25What if we're caught?
18:27Do it right away.
18:29Otherwise,
18:29you'll be sold to the brothel
18:31at the docks tomorrow.
18:31I promise.
18:32The men there
18:33will make you miss
18:34every day of this.
18:38Get it done by tonight.
18:40Get out.
18:43This rose soap
18:45smells wrong.
18:46Beneath the sweet rose scent
18:48lies a pungent metallic odour,
18:50arsenic mixture.
18:51Eleanor,
18:52your clumsy trick
18:52from a past life.
18:54Do you really think
18:54it'll work again this time?
18:56You'll never imagine
18:57that this sneaky move of yours
18:59will backfire on you,
19:00but for me,
19:00it's the perfect opportunity
19:02to gain the Duke's sympathy
19:03and care.
19:05Rebecca,
19:05starting from tomorrow,
19:06tell everyone that I'm sick.
19:08Headache,
19:09fatigue,
19:09loss of appetite.
19:10But you're not...
19:11Just do as I say.
19:16Also,
19:16there's something wrong
19:17with this soap.
19:18Someone mixed it
19:18with chronic poison
19:19trying to disfigure me.
19:21Swap it tonight
19:22with the one
19:22Eleanor usually uses
19:24in her bathroom.
19:26Swap it?
19:27You mean,
19:28use her own poison
19:29against her...
19:30Yes,
19:30the gift she gave.
19:31Of course,
19:32she'd be tasted
19:32by her herself.
19:34Be careful,
19:35don't be noticed.
19:37I understand,
19:38my lady.
19:39Leave it to me.
19:52Henry said you're sick.
19:57Just a little tired,
19:59Your Grace.
20:00Nothing to worry about.
20:05You look very bad.
20:07How's a physician seen you?
20:09No need.
20:10I'm just a little cold.
20:12Your hands are as cold as ice.
20:16Could you...
20:17stay with me for a while?
20:19Just for a little while.
20:24That's it.
20:26Duke's affection to me
20:27is growing bit by bit.
20:28The goal is getting closer.
20:30This act must be played
20:32to the end.
20:38Why do I lose so much hair?
20:41It's so itchy.
20:46No!
20:47No!
20:47My face!
20:49My hair!
20:52This smell.
20:53This damn smell.
20:55It was supposed to be
20:55in Catherine's room.
20:57How old?
20:58Charles,
20:58did it end up here?
21:01Catherine.
21:02You vicious bitch.
21:04How dare you?
21:05How dare you do this to me?
21:06I swear
21:07I will make you pay
21:09a hundredfold,
21:11a thousandfold price.
21:16Your Grace.
21:18Take a look.
21:20These rashes all over my hands
21:22and my face.
21:26It's all that wicked Catherine's doing.
21:29She poisoned the soap
21:30trying to disfigure me
21:31to kill me.
21:32Is there such a thing?
21:35Eleanor,
21:35within Hockmore Castle,
21:37accusations against anything
21:39or anyone
21:40require evidence.
21:41Go back to your room first.
21:43I will have Henry
21:43investigate this thoroughly.
21:45I know,
21:45Your Grace.
21:46I swear,
21:47it's her.
21:48You must avenge me.
21:50I said I will handle it.
21:53All right,
21:54Your Grace.
21:56I'm waiting
21:57for your investigation results.
22:03Eleanor's maid,
22:05Jenny,
22:05has confessed everything.
22:07She admitted
22:08that it was
22:08Mrs. Eleanor herself
22:10who ordered her
22:10to add the poison
22:11to the soap,
22:12targeting Miss Catherine.
22:14But somehow,
22:15that poison soap
22:16ended up
22:16being used
22:18by Mrs. Eleanor herself.
22:21Evidence?
22:22Jenny handed over
22:24the remaining powder
22:25of the poison.
22:27This is it.
22:28We found the apothecary
22:30who sold it.
22:30He confirmed
22:31that the purchaser
22:32was Mrs. Eleanor's
22:33personal maid
22:34and described her appearance
22:36and the amount
22:37of gold coins
22:38she paid
22:38which were consistent
22:39with the facts.
22:41Plot harm,
22:42then file false accusations
22:44to cover it up.
22:45Pure evil
22:46and unforgivable.
22:48She must be
22:48severely punished.
22:49Your Grace.
22:55Mrs. Eleanor
22:56has already been punished.
22:57She harmed herself
22:59with her own poison.
23:00Perhaps no additional
23:01punishment is needed.
23:03Just restricting
23:04Mrs. Eleanor's movements
23:04is enough.
23:05Let us stay in her room
23:07and reflect on her steeds.
23:09Eleanor Windsor
23:10from today
23:11is confined to her room
23:12not to leave
23:12without my express permission.
23:14Remove most of her servants
23:15leaving only Cato
23:16to serve allowances
23:17providing on only
23:18the basic living
23:18the same thing.
23:21Father,
23:22I heard you mean
23:23to punish Eleanor.
23:25She is my wife.
23:26You cannot do this
23:28to her.
23:29Precisely because
23:29she's your wife
23:30that I must punish her
23:32as the young mistress
23:33of Hotmore Castle
23:34instead of setting
23:35an example
23:35plotted to harm others.
23:37It's unforgivable.
23:39Father,
23:40she might just be
23:41confused for a moment.
23:42This is an order,
23:44George.
23:51Is this what you want?
23:54What?
23:55This play
23:56was performed
23:57extremely wonderful.
24:00Right and wrong,
24:01good and evil,
24:02I believe.
24:03You has own judgment.
24:05You still chose
24:06to help me,
24:06didn't you?
24:07I wonder
24:08how many secrets
24:09are still hidden in you.
24:21your grace?
24:23What are you going to do?
24:26Why did you plead for her?
24:29You know she deserved punishment,
24:31you know she tried
24:31to kill you.
24:32I know.
24:34But why?
24:37Because
24:38I didn't want this
24:40to be hard for you.
24:42Hard for me?
24:44She's your daughter-in-law.
24:46George is your son.
24:48If you punished her severely,
24:50there would be a rift
24:51between father and son.
24:56You were thinking of me.
24:58Can I?
25:00Can I?
25:04Catherine,
25:06do you know
25:07what I hate the most?
25:08Being played,
25:09especially,
25:10by woman I can't see through.
25:15Every step you take
25:17is perfectly timed.
25:19Every word you speak
25:21falls at exactly
25:22the right moment.
25:24You made me investigate
25:26your past,
25:26you showed me
25:27your scars,
25:28you made me
25:29unable to resist
25:31protecting you.
25:33What if I told you
25:35I'm not playing you?
25:38Then tell me
25:40what part of you
25:41is real?
25:44That I didn't want
25:45this 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,
26:00Catra.
26:01Every appearance
26:02is flawlessly timed.
26:03Every word strikes
26:04a chord in my heart.
26:06The perfect victim.
26:07The perfect avenger.
26:08The perfect temptress.
26:11Then why do you steal?
26:13I want you,
26:14but I won't let myself
26:15fall in love with you.
26:18What if I told you
26:20this moment
26:21I'm giving myself
26:22to you willingly.
26:23Would you believe it?
26:25No.
26:26No.
26:27No.
26:27No.
26:28No.
26:29No.
26:29No.
26:30No.
26:36No.
26:40No.
26:43No.
26:48No.
26:55No.
26:57No.
26:59It's a maid.
26:59If she fails to meet
27:00her master's demands,
27:02orking 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,
27:10I'll play a piece as you wish.
27:12Cut the axe.
27:13How could a lowborn trash
27:15like you possibly play
27:16the harpsichord?
27:31She's so talented.
27:37Oh my goodness,
27:39this 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
27:50with her duties,
27:51but shows off at the ball.
27:52She's humiliating me.
27:54Even the most refined skill
27:56cannot change
27:57a lowborn nature.
27:59Mother,
27:59I'm your biological daughter.
28:01You stand with the one
28:02who harmed me
28:03and speak of my nature,
28:04lowborn.
28:05Who said she's a maid?
28:07Catherine is my
28:08personally appointed clerk
28:10and an honored guest
28:10of Hockmore Castle.
28:12Anyone who calls her
28:13a maid again
28:14is insulting
28:15this ducal house.
28:17Even if that someone
28:18is my own son
28:20and daughter.
28:22Just how many more
28:24surprises are hidden
28:24inside you?
28:30Eleanor,
28:30your mother is unwell.
28:32It's time you
28:33escorted her back.
28:38Mother,
28:39you don't recognize me,
28:40but one day
28:41I'll make you see the truth.
28:42See who is truly lowborn.
28:44you don't recognize me.
28:44I'm sorry.
28:45I feel like you.
28:45still alone.
28:45I feel like you're
28:46You got to be the same
28:46You want to think so?
28:46You want to think so?
28:47I don't know.
28:47You
