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.
03:51I've found you.
03:52I'm not a good.
04:03I have no good.
04:04I am too bad with you, my dear old lady.
04:07I'm not a good boy.
04:07I'm not a good boy.
04:08Me if you want.
04:09I'm not a good boy.
04:10I'm not a good boy.
04:10I'm not a good boy.
04:11I'm a good boy.
04:12Today's the day I'm supposed to share the bed with the villain.
04:16I need Duke William to see his own son lying beside the woman he desires.
04:27Katherine!
04:42Why are you coming from that direction?
04:44Miss, 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.
04:54Does that look like getting lost? Who do you think you're fooling?
04:59Remember why you were sent here.
05:04I swear I didn't mean to. The Duke found me. He was furious, questioned me, then let me go. I
05:09know my purpose.
05:10I'm here to help you and Lord George have a child.
05:13How could I dare to think otherwise?
05:16Your purpose. Exactly. Time to fulfill the agreement.
05:21Now let's go. To the Viscount's room. Right now.
05:29George, she's here.
05:33Ah, the little beauty.
05:37Don't waste time. Get it done today.
05:41No, Lord George.
05:43Silence!
05:44You do well to obey.
05:48Silence!
06:08You do well to obey.
06:13Your Grace.
06:15There was a maid last night. Catherine, serving Lady Eleanor.
06:21Find 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.
06:31And now...
06:33She's in Lord George's chambers.
06:36Today is the day to...
06:38Fulfill the contract.
06:48Finally quiet.
06:51Let'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 hothering!
07:13Why?
07:14I need to watch. Make sure she fulfills her duty.
07:19Dan, my stomach's kidding me.
07:22Go to my study.
07:23Lefter will bring the medicine.
07:24Now.
07:25Now?
07:27Right now.
07:28Unless you want to be a widow.
07:35Finally quiet.
07:38Let's continue.
07:46What is this?
07:50Father! What brings you here?
07:53I just...
07:54Get out!
08:02Look at me.
08:07Did you leave this last night?
08:09I...
08:10I...
08:10I was scared after last night.
08:12I 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.
08:27Understood?
08:27I understand.
08:28But I'm bound by contract to Lady Eleanor.
08:31I'll handle Eleanor's contract.
08:33From now on, you answer to me.
08:34Henry!
08:39Take her to the West Wing guest suite.
08:41Prepare clothes, necessities and reliable staff.
08:44Go clean yourself up.
08:46Yes, Your Grace.
08:47Yes, 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.
09:47Bella!
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 honor.
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-I-I thought I was with Catherine.
10:48You thought she was Catherine?
10:51And you, Bella?
10:54Did you think you were someone else too?
10:58Or did you just seize the chance and not even spare your daughter's husband?
11:05Trap.
11:06This is a trap.
11:08Catherine did this.
11:09It must be her.
11:12I heard the noise.
11:14What happened?
11:15Perfect 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? Impossible.
11:31I've been in my room all afternoon.
11:33The maids can vouch.
11:34Enough!
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?
11:57She 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!
12:08No!
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!
12:30Is this how you treat your own mother?
12:33Are 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?
12:44I'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 19 years of slavery and a death in a sewer.
12:54Now pay with your eyes and tongue.
12:56No!
12:57No!
12:57No!
13:05The dungeon business.
13:07Is it done?
13:08Yes, your grace.
13:10As Lord George ordered.
13:11I 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,
13:24or 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.
14:00I 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.
14:38You'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.
15:10Yes, your grace.
15:12Katherine!
15:17Remember 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.
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 memoricably, she managed to get lost and end up in your grace's bed.
16:03Should we perhaps address her as...
16:06Hockmoor's whore?
16:09Miss Eleanor, by slandering me so, aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone that your mother, Bella, is the one who
16:15truly climbed into your husband's bed?
16:20You bish!
16:21I saw it with my own eyes in the blue salon, and she was so loud when having sex with
16:26your 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 bitch! 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!
17:43Add respect for your family name, and because you are my daughter-in-law, I'll spare you this time. I
17:48hope this is the last time.
17:52The injury on your face needs ice. Come with me.
17:56True!
18:09What is your gift?
18:10Come here, Jenny!
18:12Put this into the rose soap Catherine uses every day
18:16I want her to weaken slowly, silently
18:20Her skin to rot, her hair to fall out
18:23Miss, it's too dangerous. What if we're caught?
18:27Do it right away
18:29Otherwise you'll be sold to the brothel at the docks tomorrow
18:31I promise the men there will make you miss every day of this
18:38Get it done by tonight
18:39Get out
18:43This rose soap smells wrong
18:46Beneath the sweet rose scent lies a pungent metallic odour
18:50Arsenic mixture
18:51Eleanor, your clumsy trick from a past life
18:53Do you really think it'll work again this time?
18:56You'll never imagine that this sneaky move of yours will backfire on you
19:00But for me it's the perfect opportunity to gain the duke's sympathy and care
19:04Rebecca, starting from tomorrow, tell everyone that I'm sick
19:08Headache, fatigue, loss of appetite
19:10But you're not
19:11Just do as I say
19:16Also there's something wrong with this soap
19:17Someone mixed it with chronic poison trying to disfigure me
19:21Swap it tonight with the one that Eleanor usually uses in her bathroom
19:26Swap it?
19:27You mean use her own poison against her
19:30Yes, the gift she gave, of course should be tasted by her herself
19:34Be careful, don't be noticed
19:37I understand, my lady
19:38Leave it to me
19:52Henry said you're sick
19:58Just a little tired, your grace
19:59Nothing to worry about
20:05You look very bad
20:07How's a physician seen you?
20:09No need
20:09I'm just a little cold
20:11Your hands are as cold as ice
20:15Could you
20:17Stay with me for a while
20:19Just for a little while
20:24That's it
20:26Duke's affection to me is growing bit by bit
20:28The goal is getting closer
20:30This act must be played to the end
20:38Why do I lose so much hair?
20:41It's so itchy
20:46No, no, my face
20:48My hair
20:52This smell
20:53This damn smell
20:55It was supposed to be in Catherine's room
20:56How did 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
21:10A thousandfold price
21:16Your grace
21:17Take a look
21:19These rashes all over my hands
21:22And my face
21:26It's all that wicked Catherine's doing
21:28She 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 or anyone
21:40Require evidence
21:41Go back to your room first
21:42I will have Henry investigate this thoroughly
21:44I know your grace
21:46I swear it's her
21:48You must avenge me
21:49I said I will handle it
21:53Alright your grace
21:56I'm waiting for your investigation results
22:03Eleanor's maid
22:04Jenny
22:05Has confessed
22:06Everything
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
22:13But somehow
22:14That 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 of gold coins
22:38She paid
22:38Which were consistent
22:39With the facts
22:40Plot harm
22:42Then file false accusations
22:44To cover it up
22:45Pure evil
22:46And unforgivable
22:47She must be severely punished
22:49Your grace
22:55Mrs. Eleanor has already been punished
22:57She harmed herself
22:59With her own poison
23:00Perhaps no additional punishment
23:02Is needed
23:02Just 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
23:10Eleanor 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 Coutou
23:16To serve allowances
23:17Providing on only
23:18The basic living
23:20Father
23:22I heard you mean
23:23To punish Eleanor
23:24She 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 an example
23:35Plotted to harm others
23:36It's unforgivable
23:38Father
23:39She might just be confused
23:41For a moment
23:42This is an order, George
23:51Is this what you want?
23:53What?
23:55This play
23:56Was performed
23:57Extremely wonderful
24:00Right and wrong
24:01Good and evil
24:02I believe
24:02You has own judgment
24:04You still chose
24:06To help me
24:06Didn't you?
24:08I wonder
24:08How many secrets
24:09Are still hidden in you?
24:20Your
24:22Your grace
24:22What are you going to do?
24:26Why did you plead for her?
24:29You know she deserved punishment
24:30You know she tried to kill you
24:32I know
24:33But why?
24:37Because
24:38I didn't want this to be hard for you
24:42Hard for me?
24:44She's your daughter-in-law
24:46George is your son
24:47If you punished her severely
24:49There would be a rift
24:51Between 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
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
25:30Unable 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 is real?
25:44That I didn't want this to be hard for you
25:46That part
25:49Is real
25:50Then prove it
25:57You still don't trust me?
25:59You're too perfect, Catherine
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 temptress
26:11Then why do you steal?
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 Catherine
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
26:40I need to teach her a lesson to make her know her place
26:49Catherine, perhaps you'd favour us with a tune on the harsh chord
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 half
27:05He 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 like you
27:15Possibly play the harpsichord?
27:31She's so talented
27:37Oh my goodness
27:38This skill is more exquisite than that of a court musician
27:42She's a maid
27:43What?
27:46Mother
27:46Look 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 cannot change a lowborn nature
27:58Mother
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
28:10And an honoured guest at Pockmore 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
28:22Just how many more surprises are hidden inside you?
28:30Eleanor, your mother is unwell
28:32It's time you escorted her back
28:38Mother, you don't recognise me
28:40But one day I'll make you see the truth
28:42See who is truly lowborn
28:44The trouble with you
28:44I'll let you know
28:45The truth
28:46Is
28:46Would be
