00:14Warwick, we were playmates from the Cradle.
00:18At fifteen you knelt before my father and swore by the sacred vows to love and cherish me.
00:29I once made you my entire world. I never imagined it was all a lie.
00:36Warwick, this woman's heart is corrupt. Do you truly intend to keep her by your side?
00:42I know you despise me, but I am a gift from the Lord himself to serve Sir Warwick.
00:47You aren't suggesting Warwick disobey the Duke just to please you, are you?
00:54I nearly died giving birth to Arthur and Lyra while Warwick was off at war.
01:00Yet now, my own blood is closer to a stranger than to me.
01:08Stop bullying Miss Elena! I am a knight and I will protect her!
01:18If you hate Elena, then I hate you too!
01:23Miss Elena, when will you return? Promise me you will be the one to take to the tournament.
01:28I don't want to go with her. The other boys will mock me for having such a hideous mother.
01:33Is it I who have brought you shame?
01:35Don't take it to heart, my lady. They are just children. They don't know any of that.
01:41My apologies, sir. The other knights are waiting. We mustn't be late.
01:49You bring no luck to this house.
01:52Children, come to me.
01:54Grandmother!
01:55Ever since you wed Warwick, he has suffered nothing but wounds on the battlefield.
01:59The Lord's favours go to others while he bleeds sheds. You are a curse upon my son's glory.
02:05Every time he was bled, I stayed by his side for days without sleep to heal him.
02:10Are you suggesting I am the cause of his pain?
02:13I told him that scar on your face would bring misfortune, but he would not listen.
02:18When he returns, I will make him leave you for good.
02:26Warwick, I loved you with all I had.
02:30I was a fool to dream of a life with you.
02:43Starting now, I am no longer Lady Hastings.
02:48I am simply Catherine.
03:09Catherine, take this necklace. It will be your shield. As long as you wear it, nothing can touch you.
03:27I am back.
03:32My lady! You're alive! I thought you'd never wake again!
03:38Is this real? Did I really come back?
03:43Father said it's a sorcerer's gift. The necklace saved my life.
03:49Thank the heavens I found you in time! Even if the Master breaks your heart, you must never be so
03:55foolish again!
03:55Eva, it's all right. I'm fine.
04:01Since God has granted me a second life, this time I will live it differently.
04:09She's just a maid sent by the Duke, yet this banquet for her is grander than the Lady's wedding.
04:14Elena is a beauty and her father saved Sir Warwick's life.
04:17But his wife? She's just a scholar's daughter with a ruined face.
04:21If I were Sir Warwick, I'd be sick at the sight of her. Lady Catherine is so gloomy and ugly.
04:27No wonder the Duke sent Sir Warwick a maid. He probably felt sorry for the poor man.
04:35Catherine, what are you doing here?
04:37Since my lord is so eager to honor Miss Elena with such a feast, as the Lady of Hastings, why
04:43should I not attend?
04:44That face. She looks like a demon from the hell.
04:47You filthy wretch! Do you intend to bring shame to Warwick in front of every noble in the land?
04:53Get back to your teller!
04:55Catherine, this is not the time for your temper.
04:58I'm actually glad the Lady is willing to grace us with her presence.
05:02Now that is true nobility. Miss Elena is so graceful and kind.
05:06Indeed. In beauty and in heart, the Lady doesn't stand a chance against her.
05:10You were sent by the Lord to learn proper etiquette. Yet, seeing the Lady of the house, you don't even
05:14know how to curse, see?
05:16What are you playing at?
05:17In this house, every woman bows to me on sight.
05:21Catherine, she's not the woman I used to know.
05:23Besides, Warwick is a decorated knight, and you are a gift from the Lord himself. To maintain the laws of
05:28this land, you must show respect.
05:30Don't you agree, Miss Elena? The Lady is right. I shall pay my respects.
05:40Elena!
05:41My leg!
05:50My Lord! I know the Lady has always hated me, but to humiliate me like this in front of everyone...
05:57You!
05:58Your pathetic tricks don't work on me anymore.
06:01This ugly hab! How did she get such a sharp tongue?
06:05Catherine! Are you bloody well trying to ruin this feast?
06:12Mother! I told you! If you ever hurt Miss Elena again, I'm never calling you Mother!
06:18Mother is bad! I hate you!
06:21Even her own flesh and blood side with the maid. The Lady must be truly foul.
06:27When did these children become so blind? They won't even recognize their own mother.
06:31Elena offered you a cursi, and you kicked her like a stray dog. Now get on your knees and apologize.
06:37Then I'll let this rot go no further.
06:42Apologize? Sir, open your eyes and look. I just walked through the gardens. My boots are filthy. If I had
06:49truly kicked her, that expensive dress would be stained with a disgusting black mark right now.
06:55Catherine, have you lost your mind?
06:58It's called proving my innocence. Elena, do you dare show everyone your dress?
07:03Her eyes. They're like ice. When did she become a stranger to me?
07:07Why is Miss Elena silent? Was she really lying about the Lady?
07:11I didn't. My lord, I swear I didn't lie.
07:16Miss Elena would never lie. Mother is just being mean and petty.
07:20Exactly. I am petty. I am difficult, and I never forget a grudge.
07:26But I am not blind.
07:29As a maid, you'd best learn the rules of this castle from now on.
07:40Did I... Did I truly wrong her?
07:45My lord! The guests are waiting. Don't leave them. I'll just go apply some Altman and be right back.
07:54A scarred wretch. Why does the lord care so much about her? If you want to play the hero, then
07:59die like one.
08:14Who are you? Get me off!
08:24Damn it! Is that... him?
08:27Let me down! If anyone sees this, my reputation is dead!
08:30Ha ha ha! Reputation? Did that stop a wagon from crushing you? You should thank my horse for being fast!
08:37You arrogant brat! Let go! I said let go!
08:47Look at that. I didn't think the proper lady had it in you.
08:50Shut up! Don't look! You foul bastard!
08:53Don't blame me. Though I must say, that colour suits you.
08:57Did you save me just to mock me?
09:00You truly can't take a joke, lady.
09:11I hope I never see your face again.
09:13That's not up to you! Until next time!
09:18Damn her. She won't get away with it next time.
09:25My lord. You've had too much to drink. Let's go back.
09:29Did you hear? The lady threw herself into the fire. It's a miracle she's still breathing.
09:33No wonder she's acting so strange. I guess staring death changed her.
09:38What is it, my lord? Tonight? You said you'd teach me.
09:43I just remembered some work. Go to bed. Do not wait for me.
09:47My lord?
09:53What is this? Miss Elena sent it. She said it's an ointment for your scars. Since when did she have
09:59a heart?
10:02Something is wrong. Eva, go get me something.
10:10This is meant to ruin a face. Keep the jar. Save it as evidence.
10:16My lady, thank god you didn't touch it.
10:19My lord. I didn't see you there.
10:22What brings you here, sir? I thought you'd be spending the night with Miss Elena.
10:25Enough, Catherine. I only danced with her for the lord's favour. Don't lose your mind over a common nade.
10:31You flatter yourself, sir. Your presence makes me sick. Now get out.
10:35Sick.
10:46Get off! Don't touch me!
10:49Stop this, Catherine! I don't care what happens to your face. Even if it's ruined, you are still the only
10:53mistress of this castle!
10:54I can't touch you. You flirted with a maid all night and now you call me the mistress.
10:58The groom said you tried to throw yourself into the fire.
11:01Why do you care? It certainly wasn't about you.
11:05What made you so cold, Catherine?
11:07If you don't like it, go find Miss Elena.
11:11If I'm so unwelcome, I'll leave.
11:20My lady, why didn't you tell him the ointment was poison?
11:23To him, I'm the mad one. He'd only think I was jealous and lying.
11:27But what about your face?
11:30Eva, find my father's book on herbality.
11:44Eva, I need you to find me a few things.
12:00Oh, Catherine!
12:03You're beautiful!
12:07You must be starving, little ones. We can eat as soon as the lady arrives.
12:17My lady, Miss Elena is already in the dining hall with the young master and mistress.
12:22She sent someone to hurry you along.
12:26Miss Elena! Mother never lets me ride!
12:29Only you knew a pony was the only thing I wanted! You're the best!
12:33That's because in my eyes, Arthur is already a knight in his own right.
12:42So sweet! Mother never gives us sweets. She only makes us recite boring prayers.
12:49I'd give you anything you want, as long as you're happy.
12:53But when the lady arrives, you must hide these, okay? I don't want her getting angry because I spoil you.
12:59Sit with us, Miss Elena. We can eat together once mother gets here.
13:04No, no, no. How could I sit at the same table as the mistress?
13:08Your mother would surely scold me for my lack of manners.
13:13My lady, the woman's turning the children against you. You must go down there.
13:18Tell them I have no appetite. Let them eat together.
13:21The lady is unwell and will not be joining you for lunch.
13:26She's probably just afraid her ugly face will scare everyone.
13:29Shh! Young master! You can't talk about your mother like that!
13:32You're just a servant! You don't tell me what to do!
13:40Father! Why can't Miss Elena sit with us? She's so good to us, but Mother treats her like dirt!
13:45Father, please! Can't Miss Elena just sit with us? I want her here!
13:49Shh! Sweetie, don't say that. My lord, I didn't mean to cause any trouble. I shouldn't be at the table.
13:54Where is Catherine? She refused to come down! She doesn't care about us at all!
13:59Drag her out here! If she won't eat with her family, she'll never eat in this hall again!
14:09What the hell is that? Why are you looking like a madwoman?
14:18Are you all waiting for me? Then I'll just start eating.
14:22My lady, why did you do that to your face? People will laugh at the children.
14:27Catherine! How much longer are you going to keep up this act?
14:30What act? This is the ointment Miss Elena gave me. I didn't want to waste her kindness, so I put
14:35on a thick layer.
14:35What an idiot. Putting on that much, your face is finished.
14:39Who puts on ointment like that? It looks ridiculous.
14:41Why? Are you worried I'm using too much? As long as you like it, my lady. I have plenty more.
14:46I'll bring you another jar later.
14:47Miss Elena is so good to you, but all you do is stay in your room and act like a
14:51freak!
14:51No one's people see you a wicked woman! I don't want a maz like you!
14:56Arthur, Layla, watch your mouth!
14:58Fine. Since you love her so much, why don't you just take her as your mother? I'll pretend I never
15:03gave birth to you.
15:04Please, my lady, don't be angry. If it bothers you, I won't see the children anymore.
15:10No! We want to stay with Miss Elena!
15:12Catherine, she's just trying to help. You're the mistress here. Why do you have to be so difficult?
15:17Catherine, come on.
15:18Fine. Arthur, Lyra, I'm giving you a choice right now. Today you choose her, or you choose me. You can
15:26only pick one.
15:26Catherine, are you insane? They're your own flesh and blood!
15:30I don't want this ugly monster! I want Miss Elena!
15:35Good. I'll give you what you want. From today on, don't you ever call me mother again.
15:40It's all my fault. I never meant to take the children away from you, my lady.
15:45Catherine, why are you being so damn unreasonable? Picking a fight with children?
15:53My lord, the Duke heard about what happened at the feast.
15:55He wants you to bring your family to see him tomorrow. He specifically asked for the lady.
16:03He wants to see me?
16:05My lady, I know you caused a huge scene and ruined the feast for all the nobles.
16:09But as long as you explain yourself, I'm sure the Duke won't be too hard on you.
16:12Keep your nose out of my business.
16:16My lady, wear this when you go out. It'll hide those scars.
16:20Miss Elena, what's that supposed to mean?
16:22My lord, we don't mind the lady's face, but the Duke might. It might be rude to let the Duke
16:26see her this way.
16:28Fine. Put the veil on, Catherine.
16:32My lady is a hundred times prettier than you.
16:36The scow on my face is fading, but the one in my heart just feels deeper.
16:44Maybe when I see the great Maud, I'll just ask him to allow me leave Warwick.
16:50My lady, you're leaving?
16:53Why not?
16:55But you loved him so much. And what about the kids?
17:06From now on, I am no longer Lady Hastings.
17:10I am just Catherine.
17:18My heart is dead. I'm starting a new life.
17:29What are you crying for?
17:30I'm just sad for you. The Lord used to love you so much.
17:33Every time he came back from war, he'd bring you gifts.
17:36He never let you lift a finger. He was so happy when Arthur and Lyah were born.
17:39Everything changed when that Elena showed up.
17:44It's not just her. He's tired of me.
17:49If it wasn't Elena, it would have been someone else.
17:54My lady, shouldn't you let everyone know your face is back to normal?
17:58Don't tell a soul. When Elena brings ointment, just take it like always.
18:02Yes, my lady.
18:05My lady, I know war is expensive.
18:08I saved this up for my needlework. I just want to do my bit for the master.
18:16You're such a sweetheart. You really are a Lord's daughter.
18:20Not like Catherine. She can't sew. She can't run a castle.
18:24And she embarrassed my son in front of everyone.
18:27If Warwick wasn't already married, I'd want him to marry you.
18:34Lady, that could never happen.
18:37Guard!
18:41Guard!
18:42Guard! Get Catherine down here.
18:44I'm going to have a word with her.
18:51I wanted to shame her with that veil.
18:53Why did she look so good in it?
18:55I haven't seen her dressed up in years.
18:59Why is she so beautiful today?
19:06What took you so long? I've been waiting forever.
19:09What do you want?
19:10Look at the mess you've made.
19:12Ever since you married in, the Haskings estate accounts have been a disaster.
19:17What else are you even good for?
19:19A disaster?
19:20If you mean letting the butler fake the bills or letting your people steal spices,
19:24then yes, I guess I didn't manage it well enough.
19:27How dare you lie to my face!
19:29Warwick, she's a total disgrace to the Hastings name!
19:32A woman like you doesn't even belong in this room!
19:34A disgrace?
19:36For the last three years, who stayed here and kept this broke house running while Warwick was at war?
19:40Who sold her own wedding jewelry to fix the leaking barns while you were out spending the family money?
19:45I'm sick of living like a pathetic shadow in this house.
19:47I didn't know about the jewelry.
19:49Mother, you're wrong about Catherine.
19:50You're choosing to believe her instead of your own mother?
19:55Get on your knees! Apologize to me! And apologize to Elena!
20:04What? Isn't that the glass from the Great Lord?
20:07You damn woman!
20:09Warwick, go to the Great Lord right now!
20:12Tell him this marriage is over!
20:14I want this woman out of my castle with absolutely nothing!
20:18Do you really have to push it this far?
20:20Warwick, looking at you makes me sick.
20:23Let's go see the Great Lord and tell him this marriage is dead.
20:30Catherine, do you have any idea what you've done?
20:32My lord, I don't know what you mean.
20:35I gave Elena to the knight as his helper.
20:37I heard you embarrassed her in front of everyone at the feast.
20:41Are you unhappy with my decision?
20:44My lord, I don't blame the lady. It's all in the past now.
20:49Please, don't be hard on her because of me.
20:52Miss Elena, Mother was so mean to you!
20:55Why don't you tell the Great Lord the truth?
20:57Arthur, shut your mouth!
20:58My lord, if my wife said anything rude, it's only because, well, she's hurt.
21:05Her head is a bit messy right now. Please forgive her for being so foolish.
21:09I want to hear the truth from Arthur.
21:12My lord, Mother hits Elena and yells at her. She's mean to Grandma. She even smashed the glass the old
21:17Lord gave us. She says she doesn't want me or my sister anymore. She doesn't love us. Only Elena stays
21:22with us.
21:23Yeah, Mother is a mean witch. Lila doesn't like Mother.
21:27Katherine, your father was a famous scholar. But look at you! You don't have a bit of class!
21:34If your wife makes your kids cry and brings shame to your name, then maybe it's time to pick a
21:39new wife.
21:50My lord, they are all lying.
21:59My lord, do you remember what my father used to say? If you only listen with one ear, you only
22:05hear half the truth.
22:06While my husband fighting for your honor, I was here working my fingers to the bone.
22:10I sold my own wedding jewelry just to keep this house running. The proof is all right there.
22:16Are you telling me my coin wasn't enough?
22:19My lord, everyone knows you are generous. But someone in this house let the butler steal from the accounts.
22:24I fought for this family's name, but they called me a bully. I even scarred my face when I fell
22:29into the mud while I was out checking the fields in the rain.
22:32Warwick, I thought you were a good leader. But you let your wife empty her own money to save this
22:37house? And you let everyone treat her like garbage?
22:40My lord, I really didn't know.
22:42And you, Miss Elena, I sent you to the Hastings to learn some manners, not to start fights and tell
22:47lies.
22:48My lord, you've got it all wrong! I have nothing but respect for Lady Katherine! I promise I'll learn from
22:53her from now on!
22:55My lord, I was blinded by the gossip. Please, for the sake of the Hastings' years of service. Hastings, you're
23:02a disgrace to every night!
23:03Go to the stables, kneel in the mud and the filth. Stay there until I tell you to come out!
23:08As for you, Miss Elena, strip off those fancy silks and put on the rags. From now on, you will
23:13kneel by the lady's table and pour her wine. You wanted to help her? Now you can.
23:18Yes, my lord.
23:21My lord, the young lord fell into the water. Please, come quickly.
23:26What?
23:32Sebastian! What happened?
23:34The young lord fell in. He was under the water too long. I'm afraid-
23:37Shut up! I don't care if it's medicine or magic! Save him! Do whatever it takes, or I'll make sure
23:43you never practice medicine again as long as you live!
23:46We must hang him upside down and bleed his wrists immediately! It's the only way!
23:55They're going to kill him like this! But if I speak up against the doctor, nobody will believe me!
24:01Sebastian is just like me. He's the smartest boy I know. I was going to give him everything. I was
24:08going to let him leave my lands.
24:10How could this happen?
24:12Wait.
24:15Is he the one who saved my life on the street that day?
24:19Stop!
24:21Get out of the way! You're ruining the treatment!
24:23You can't bleed him! My father told me if someone drowns, you have to pump their chest and get the
24:27water out!
24:27Who's the doctor here, you or me? If he dies because of you, can you handle the consequences?
24:31If I can't save him, I'm dead for sure. But he saved me once. Maybe this is God giving me
24:36a chance to pay him back.
24:40His heart stopped! He has no heartbeat!
24:42What? No. No, that can't be.
24:44I don't care anymore. If I save him, maybe the Duke will finally let me leave Warwick for good.
24:50My lord, let me save him. Let me try.
24:55What? You don't know anything about medicine? How can you save him? If you waste any more time, he's dead!
25:01Catherine, stop this! It's an emergency! Don't play game!
25:05My lady, even I'm not sure I can save him! Stop making a mess! We have to get the water
25:09out of his stomach!
25:11Oh no! The young lord's lips are turning purple!
25:14Put him down! Now! My lord, let me treat him! We're running out of time!
25:21Catherine, do you have any idea what you're doing?
25:25I read about this in my father's books. I've seen it work. My lord, I'll bet my name and my
25:29life on this. Let me try.
25:30Fine! I'll give you one chance, but remember your word. If you fail, you'll spend the rest of your life
25:38in a convent!
25:39Lay him flat on the ground.
25:48Catherine! What are you doing?
25:50This is horrible! I've never seen anything so rude! Arthur, Lyra, Claire, close your eyes! Don't look!
25:56My god! This is an insult to the young lord! Stop her!
26:01Lady Catherine, let the doctor handle it! This is life and death! Stop showing off when you don't know what
26:06you're doing!
26:07Look at the way she's moving! God, it's shameful! She should be whipped by the church for this!
26:14My lord, these people are driving me crazy! I can't focus! They're gonna make me mess up!
26:19Everyone, shut up! Say one more word and I'll throw you all in the lake to drown with him!
26:24Why isn't he waking up? Wait! I saw the Midmives blow air! I don't care what they think!
26:38Wait! This is a devil's ritual! Catherine! What the hell are you doing?!
26:49My lady, this is disgusting! You're not just shaming yourself! You're making Arthur and Lyra a laughingstock!
26:55I don't want a mother who acts like a tramp!
26:58Mother, make her stop, please!
27:00This is witchcraft! Warwick! Has your wife been cursed by a demon?! Catherine, stop this instant or I'll have to
27:07use force!
27:08My lady, please! I know you've been lonely in your marriage, but you can't satisfy your needs like this!
27:14Especially not on the young lord!
27:16My lord, the lady has lost her mind! A demon has taken her! Please, have mercy on her soul!
27:21He's a Stanley! He's the future of this house! This is an insult to his very blood! My lord, pull
27:27her off him!
27:28Go on, Catherine. Your face is already ruined. Now you're a witch. Let's see how you survive this.
27:35My lord, the young lord isn't moving at all! On top of that, he's being humiliated! This is a stain
27:41on the Stanley family name!
27:42I gave you a chance, you witch! Guards! Drag her away if she fights back! Kill her where she stands!
27:48My lord, Catherine's just confused! She wanted to save him and lost her head! Please, forgive her!
27:54Catherine, stop now!
27:55My lord, don't go near her! The devil has her now! Think of Arthur and Lyra! You don't want them
28:00seeing this, do you?
28:01Father! There's still a chance. I can't stop yet. Guards! Get that witch off him!
28:13It's her! Sebastian! Young lord!
28:32We meet again!
28:34Let go! You just woke up! What are you trying to do now?
28:38My boy! You're alive!
28:41What? No! Even the doctor gave up! How did she bring him back?
28:45Get off it! Now!
28:47Praise God you're awake, my lord! Please, don't be angry with the lady! She didn't mean to offend you, but
28:51lost her senses!
28:52It's my fault my wife doesn't know how to behave. Please, my lord, punish me instead!
28:56So? She's Sir Hastings' wife?
29:00My wife is hideous, my lord. I hope she didn't scare you too much.
29:05They say she's a jealous, bitter woman. But why would a woman like that hide a face as beautiful as
29:11hers?
29:12Apologize to the lord! Now!
29:13I was saving his life!
29:15Saving him? I've never seen such a disgusting, wicked way to save someone! If I don't punish you, I'm insulting
29:20God himself!
29:21Father, stop! I had one foot in the grave already, but then I felt a breath of fresh air pour
29:26into my mouth and it brought me back.
29:27Lady Hastings saved me! Without her, I'd be dead!
29:30Is that true? Every word of it.
29:32Catherine is a fright. The young lord should have been terrified when he saw her face. Why is he so
29:36taken with her?
29:37Well, if you say so, then I suppose I was wrong about the lady. The only thing that matters is
29:40that you're alive.
29:41Lady Hastings, I will grant you one wish to thank you for saving my son.
29:45Thank you, my lord. I'm going to hold you to that.
29:48Speak.
29:48I want you to declare my marriage to Sir Warwick null and void. I want to leave that castle and
29:53start a new life.
29:54Catherine, you're leaving me! Have you lost your mind?
29:59So, she wants out of that cage.
