00:02It's a boy. Perfect.
00:06George now has an heir, and my position is secure.
00:12Bella, kill her and clean this mess up.
00:17Miss Eleanor, you promised freedom once the child was born.
00:20Freedom? Look at you, covered in blood, no better than a kennel bitch.
00:26Do you deserve freedom?
00:31Mother, save me!
00:34I'm not your mother. Never was.
00:38Nineteen 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.
00:51No, impossible!
00:57What's the racket?
00:58Not George!
01:00They're trying to kill me!
01:02Save me!
01:03For the child, I won't be!
01:05Annoying.
01:07Silence her forever.
01:25Am I dead?
01:27Where am I?
01:28To ensure Lady Eleanor's health and her relationship with Vich and George remain unaffected by pregnancy, the most suitable among
01:36you will be chosen to bear their heir.
01:38This is three years ago. The day I was chosen as a surrogate maid!
01:47Too skinny. Next.
01:56My lady, Miss, Catherine is the most suitable. She's beautiful, well-mannered and will fulfill the task perfectly.
02:03Good. 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
02:21grant you freedom.
02:22I understand, Miss Eleanor. I'll bear the heir for you and Lord George as promised.
02:29For 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 aphrodigia. 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?
03:33I-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.
04:16I need Duke William to see his own son 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 is disheveled. Your lips are swollen. Does that look like getting lost?
04:55Who do you think you're fooling?
04:58Remember 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
05:08know my purpose. I'm here to help you and Lord George have a child. How could I dare to think
05:14otherwise?
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.
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.
06:13Your 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. Her sole purpose is to
06:29bear an heir for Lord George.
06:30And now, she's in Lord George's chambers. Today is the day to fulfill the contract.
06:48Finally quiet. Let's continue.
06:52Aaaaaaah!
06:53Aaaaaaah!
06:56You, Eleanor, chose you to bear my child. I'm sure you must be some special skill. Let's see if you're
07:04worthy.
07:06Hurry up, George. I don't plan to waste the whole day here.
07:10Then get out! Stop hovering!
07:12Why?
07:14I need to watch. Make sure she fulfills her duty.
07:19Damn. My stomach's kidding 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?
07:50F-Father! What brings you here?
07:53I just-
07:54Get out!
08:02Look at me.
08:07Did you leave this last night?
08:09I-
08:09I-
08:10I-
08:11I 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.
08:17Brought 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. Prepare clothes, necessities and reliable staff.
08:43Go clean yourself up.
08:45Yes, Your Grace.
08:51My 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.
09:08Slip this potion into Lord George's wine.
09:11Then tell Eleanor we're meeting in the East Wing's unused blue salon.
09:15We'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.
09:32And 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!
09:46Bella!
09:53I wasn't lying, Mother. The Vinnet told me you've been obsessed with you.
09:57I knew my charm hadn't faded.
09:59If I could capture the Viscount and not rely on Eleanor, I would be able to fully enjoy my wealth
10:04and honour.
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.
10:41You old hag! How did you end up in my bed?
10:46I thought I was with Catherine.
10:48You thought she was Catherine?
10:51And you, Bella?
10:54Did you think you were someone else too?
10:57Or did you just seize the chance and not even spare your daughter's husband?
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!
11:22You 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.
11:51She's humiliated you, yes, but she's served me for years. Execution is too harsh! Maybe confine-
11:57She deserves death! Gouge her eyes, cut out her tongue first, then the dungeon!
12:02For your sake, I'll spare the execution.
12:04Do as you say.
12:06Thomas!
12:08No!
12:11Let me go!
12:16No!
12:17No! It wasn't me!
12:20It's Catherine, that devil! She orchestrated hell nor George to tell Lady Eleanor!
12:25You! You violent, treacherous demon!
12:29Silence!
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.
12:37A governess who tried to climb into Hanagatard's bed.
12:41You know the truth about your birth. I confess, I'll tell all.
12:45You're the true daughter of the Count. Stare me!
12:47That's 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?
13:08Yes, 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?
13:18You 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?
13:42From 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?
13:56What?
13:57I want my stolen life back, Your Grace. I am the Countess's true-born daughter.
14:03Proof?
14:04On my left shoulder blade, there's a maple leaf-shaped birthmark.
14:13What does a birthmark prove?
14:15There are records in the old medical logs of the Earl's household. Document, find the evidence and approve everything.
14:23So you came to me? To use my sword for your revenge?
14:27Not just revenge. I need protection, Your Grace. I 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
14:51so 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.
15:04Surveillance, but also 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.
15:30Pretty, but lacks a certain novelty.
15:39Novelty.
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...
16:05Hockmoor'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?
16:18Oh, you fish!
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!
16:37Miss, 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.
17:16Does 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 Hockmoor 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.
18:09Come here, Jenny.
18:11Put this into the rose soap Catherine uses every day.
18:16I want her to weaken slowly, silently, her skin to rot, her hair to fall out.
18:23Miss, it's too dangerous. What if we're caught-
18:26Do it right away.
18:28Otherwise, you'll be sold to the brothel at the docks tomorrow, I promise.
18:32The men there will make you miss every day of this.
18:38Get it done by tonight. Get out.
18:43This rose soap smells wrong.
18:46Beneath the sweet rose scent lies a pungent metallic odour, arsenic mixture.
18:51Eleanor, your clumsy trick from a past life. Do you really think it'll work again this time?
18:56You'll never imagine that this sneaky move of yours will backfire on you, but for me, it's the perfect opportunity
19:01to 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.
19:15Also, there's something wrong with this soap. Someone mixed it with chronic poison trying to disfigure me.
19:21Swap it tonight with the one an Eleanor usually uses in her bathroom.
19:26Swap it? You mean use her own poison against her-
19:30Yes, the gift she gave. Of course should be tasted by her herself. Be careful, don't be noticed.
19:36I understand, my lady. Leave it to me.
19:52Henry said you're sick.
19:57Just a little tired, Your Grace. Nothing to worry about.
20:05You look very bad. Has a physician seen you?
20:09No need. I'm just a little cold.
20:11Your hands are as cold as ice.
20:16Could you...
20:17Stay with me for a while?
20:19Just for a little while.
20:23That's it.
20:25Duke's affection to me is growing bit by bit. The goal is getting closer.
20:30This act must be played to the end.
20:38Why do I lose so much hair?
20:40It's so itchy.
20:46No! No! My face! My hair!
20:52This smell. This damn smell. It was supposed to be in Catherine's room.
20:57How... Charles did it end up here?
21:02Catherine. You vicious bitch!
21:04How dare you! How dare you do this to me!
21:06I swear! I will make you pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price!
21:16Your Grace! Take a look!
21:20These rashers all over my hands...
21:22And 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?
21:34Eleanor. Within Hockmore Castle, accusations against anything or anyone require evidence.
21:41Go 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!
21:50I 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, targeting Miss
22:13Catherine.
22:13But somehow that poison soap ended up being used by Mrs. Eleanor herself.
22:21Evidence?
22:23Jenny handed over the remaining powder of the poison.
22:26This 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 facts.
22:40Plot harm, then file false accusations to cover it up.
22:45Pure evil and unforgivable. She must be severely punished.
22:50Your Grace.
22:55Mrs. Eleanor has already been punished. She harmed herself with her own poison.
23:00Perhaps no additional punishment is needed. Just restricting Mrs. Eleanor's movements is enough.
23:05Let us stay in her room and reflect on her mistakes.
23:09Mrs. Eleanor winsor 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 the city.
23:22Father, I heard you mean to punish Eleanor. She 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.
23:37It's unforgivable.
23:38Father! She might just be confused for a moment.
23:42This is an order, George.
23:51Is this what you want?
23:53What?
23:54This play was performed extremely wonderful.
23:59Right and wrong, good and evil, I believe.
24:03You has own judgement.
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.
24:33But why?
24:38Because... I didn't want this to be hard for you.
24:42Hard for me?
24:44She's your daughter-in-law.
24:46George is your son.
24:47If you punished her severely, there would be a rift between father and son.
24:55You were thinking of me.
24:58Can I?
25:04Catherine, do you know what I hate the most?
25:08Being played, especially, by a 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, you showed me your scars, you made me...
25:29Unable to resist protecting you.
25:32What if I told you...
25:35I'm not playing you.
25:38Then tell me...
25:39What part of you is legal?
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.
26:07The perfect avenger.
26:08The perfect...
26:09Temptress.
26:11Then why do you steal?
26:12No.
26:13I want you, but 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.
26:33She'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 Harsic Order.
26:53She's been a maid all her life.
26:55How would she know how to play?
26:58As a maid, if she fails to meet her master's demands,
27:01walking to the rules, she will be slapped in public and then expelled from the Harsic Order.
27:05You can't possibly play.
27:08If you want to listen, I'll play a piece as you wish.
27:11Cut the axe!
27:13How could a lowborn trash like you possibly play the harpsichord?
27:30She is so talented.
27:37Oh my goodness, this skill is more exquisite than that of a court musician.
27:42She's a maid.
27:44What?
27:46Mother, look at Catherine.
27:48As a maid, she's not content with her duties but shows off at the ball.
27:52She's humiliating me.
27:54Even the most refined skill cannot change a lowborn nature.
27:58Mother, I'm your biological daughter.
28:01You stand with the one who harmed me and speak of my nature.
28:04Lowborn.
28:05Who said she's a maid?
28:07Catherine is my personally appointed clerk and an honoured guest at Pockmore Castle.
28:11Anyone who calls her a maid again is 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?
28:25Just how many more surprises are hidden inside you?
28:30Eleanor, your mother is unwell.
28:32It's time you escorted her bank.
28:38Mother, you don't recognise me.
28:40But one day, I'll make you see the truth.
28:42See who is truly lowborn.
28:50This is a collection of poems that belongs to my late wife.
28:53I need a handwritten coffee.
28:55In the most precise copperplate script.
29:03Handwriting like this, impossible to master without a decade of training under a master tutor.
29:08That birthmark, and now this fluid, aristocratic cropped.
29:11It's as if she's deliberately dropping these clues right in front of me.
29:15He's watching me, with doubt.
29:17Will he investigate next?
29:19A truth he uncovers himself will be far more convincing than what I simply tell you.
29:27Perfect handwriting.
29:29Perfect manners.
29:30Perfect floors.
29:33Your Grace, an invitation has arrived from Windsor Manor.
29:36A birthday celebration for Lady Margaret, three days from now.
29:40Send word to Windsor.
29:42I will be attending with a companion.
29:44Your Grace, your companion is...
29:47Catherine. She is my clerical assistant.
29:49It is only logical for her to accompany.
29:51As you command, Your Grace.
29:54Henry, investigate everything about the night the Countess of Windsor gave birth 19 years ago.
29:58The midwife, the servants on duty, anyone who had access to the infant.
30:04And...
30:06Find out exactly when Bella entered the Windsor Manor and every detail of her confinement.
30:11I want every single detail.
30:14At once, Your Grace.
30:15Catherine, what exactly are you deliberately showing me?
30:19Is it to make me believe your story of a stolen identity?
30:22Or are you trying to lead me into another trap?
30:25You want me to investigate?
30:26Fine.
30:27I'll investigate.
30:29But I'll decide for myself what to believe in the end.
30:43Oh, my Catherine, why are you standing over there?
30:46Come, join us. Let me introduce everyone.
30:48This is the Duke of Hawkmore's clerical assistant.
30:50She used to be a maid here at Windsor Manor.
30:52Windsor's maid? I can't believe it.
30:55Mother, would you like Catherine to come and pay respects to you?
31:02That won't be necessary.
31:03In the previous life, Eleanor and Edward joined forces to poison my mother.
31:06I can't let the tragedy repeat itself.
31:14Mother, this is a nourishing soup specially made for you as per the Doctor's advice.
31:18Drink it while it's still hot.
31:20What?
31:21My lady, let me refresh your water.
31:25That smell.
31:27Arsenic.
31:28It's exactly the same poison that killed me in my previous life.
31:31No, I can't let her drink it.
31:33Forgive me, my lady. I'm so clumsy.
31:36What are you doing?
31:37Just cleaning the table for my lady.
31:41That soup. Something's wrong with it.
31:46What did you find?
31:48There's poison in the soup.
31:50A slow poison.
31:51Taken regularly, it's fatal.
31:53Are you sure?
31:55What is this?
31:56I need you to help me have this broth analysed.
31:59Only with solid proof can the truth be exposed.
32:02What truth?
32:03About why Lady Margaret is getting weaker.
32:05About why I was raised as a maid since childhood.
32:08About...
32:08What exactly happened at the Earl's House of Windsor 19 years ago?
32:14I'll have Henry find the most reliable apothecary.
32:17You believe me?
32:19I don't believe anyone.
32:21But I need the truth.
32:23He doesn't trust me, yet he's still willing to investigate.
32:26This life, I'm not fighting alone anymore.
32:32The apothecary confirmed it.
32:34The soup was laced with arsenic.
32:36Trace amounts, but taken regularly, it's fatal.
32:41Katherine, now tell me everything.
32:43What you know, what you suspect.
32:44Nineteen years ago, Eleanor and I were swapped.
32:47Eleanor is the ineligible daughter of Bella and Edward.
32:51And I...
32:53I am Lady Margaret's biological daughter.
32:58Do you have any idea what you're saying?
33:00I know it sounds insane.
33:01But Lady Margaret is dying a slow death.
33:04The one poisoning her is my father, Duke Edward.
33:08And the only way to save her is the truth and the proof.
33:13Your Grace, I'm begging you send someone to protect her.
33:16Find the midwife who delivered me.
33:18If she's still alive, she's the most powerful witness we could have.
33:23The same story again.
33:24Birthmark, swap, pleasant.
33:27How much of this is real, and how much is a lie?
33:31Do you know what I despise most?
33:34What?
33:35Cheater.
33:36You still don't believe me?
33:37I trust no one.
33:39But whoever you are, I will solve this mystery myself.
33:44Dispatch a team.
33:45Infiltrate Winsdemorner.
33:46Log everyone who comes near Lady Margaret's food or medicine.
33:50Yes.
33:51As for the midwife.
33:53Give me every lead you have.
33:55Turn the earth upside down if you have to but find her.
33:58In the end, you still can't let me go.
34:00And you still help me.
34:09You...
34:09You're the one who wrote to me.
34:12You said you know the truth about my illness.
34:14Mother.
34:15What did you call me?
34:19My daughter.
34:20My daughter.
34:21This birthmark.
34:23I had a vague memory of it after giving birth.
34:25But after waking up, everyone said there was no birthmark.
34:28It must be my mistake to remember.
34:32Bella and Edward switched me with her legitimate daughter, Eleanor.
34:36I was raised as a servant, while Eleanor, she became your daughter.
34:41Edward, he...
34:42How could he...
34:43Also, Mother, the nourishing soup you drank contained chronic poison.
34:45It was Edward and Bella who were behind the scenes.
34:47They wanted to kill you slowly.
34:49Why?
34:50Why would they do this?
34:52In order to embezzle your generous derby and control the entire estate's assets.
34:56No wonder.
34:58No wonder I've been getting weaker these years, yet the doctors can't find the cause.
35:03Edward always insisted on watching me drink that medicine.
35:07I remember now!
35:08Nineteen years ago, Bella gave birth on the same day as me!
35:11That night was chaotic.
35:13After childbirth, I fell asleep and woke up to see Bella carrying a baby out, claiming it was hers.
35:17And there was another baby lying beside me, said to be my daughter.
35:21Edward stood outside the door, looking strange.
35:24I felt something was wrong, but I convinced myself I was being paranoid.
35:27It wasn't paranoia, Mother.
35:33Damn!
35:34Lord Edward and Eleanor's are here.
35:35How did they find this place?
35:37They have informants.
35:39Mother, take care.
35:39I'll come back to save you.
35:42The stable's on fire!
35:44Quick, put it out!
35:45What's going on?
35:46Put out the fire!
35:47Now!
35:52Miss Catherine, quickly!
35:53The Duke sent me to get you out!
35:54The back door, follow the alley!
35:57Mother, wait for me.
35:59I'll wait, my daughter.
36:01Now go!
36:06Who was just here, Mother?
36:07Who did you see?
36:08No one.
36:09Someone was here.
36:11And they haven't gotten far.
36:12Seal off all exits!
36:13Search every inch of this place!
36:15Dead or alive, find them!
36:19Duke William, I don't have time to beat around the bush with you.
36:22Hand over Catherine.
36:23She bewitched my wife, sown discord and plotted to seize the Windsor family property.
36:28This is an internal matter of the Windsor family and has nothing to do with you.
36:31Catherine is a guest in my castle.
36:34And my guests are not subject to anyone's interrogation.
36:37You!
36:38Do you know what you're saying?
36:39Fight against the entire Windsor family for the sake of a lowly maid?
36:44I said she's not a maid.
36:46As for who I am against, I, William Walkmoyer, have never been afraid.
36:52You'll regret it!
36:53I warn you, I'll expose this matter to the King!
36:56At that time, I wonder how you would handle it!
37:06I heard Edward was here, demanding you hand me over.
37:10He's just daydreaming. Ignore him!
37:12This is the lab report on the poisoned soup and part of the testimony from Martha, the midwife you found.
37:17Though it's not complete, it's enough to initiate an official investigation.
37:21An official investigation?
37:22First thing tomorrow, I'm going to the palace, presenting all this evidence to the King.
37:28Why would you do that?
37:31Because the truth must come out.
37:32Someone is poisoning the Countess and someone switched babies 19 years ago.
37:36Such scandals shouldn't be buried.
37:37Only when the truth is out will you be truly safe.
37:40Only then will Lady Margaret be truly safe.
37:42Only then will the guilty face the punishment they deserve.
37:44You don't trust me. And yet, you still chose to stand by my side.
37:48I won't deny it. The moment I first looked into your eyes, I was drawn to you.
37:51Your beauty, your resilience, your cunning, even the countless questions surround you, they fascinate me.
37:56But what I'm doing now isn't just for you. It's for the truth itself.
37:59Duke William, no matter why you're doing this now, one day you'll become my steadfast ally.
38:12We failed Martha.
38:16Fisher, the midwife from back then, she confessed.
38:21Bella paid her and Edward acquiesced to the switch.
38:24We have now moved her and her grandson to a safe house, guarded day and night.
38:29Nineteen years. Finally.
38:33Leave us.
38:41We did it.
38:52I told you it's not just for you.
38:55I know.
38:58Don't look at me like that.
39:00You know I'll lose control.
39:03You don't need to control.
39:09Go ahead. I'm tired. The day when the truth comes tonight is not far off.
39:13He wants me and he is trying his best to suppress the intense desire within his body. So he still
39:19doesn't fully believe me.
39:23Tell it. There's so much in those eyes that I can't read.
39:30But why do those unreadable things keep me awake at night, haunting my dreams?
39:39That old hat. That damned midwife.
39:44Catherine actually found her.
39:46What's all the noise at this hour?
39:50George!
39:52Catherine framed you before. Haven't you wanted revenge?
39:55Now's our chance.
39:57What do you mean?
39:58The midwife from when I was born, Catherine found her.
40:01Once she testifies about the swap, I will lose everything.
40:04But before that, if we make her disappear.
40:07Permanently.
40:10Are you insane? She's my father's woman now!
40:14So what? Scared?
40:16You're a Viscount and you're afraid to touch the woman who wronged you.
40:20What's the plan?
40:26My lady, the guards outside have been replaced by a new group today.
40:30Those who are not the Duke. I recognise them. They are from Windsor House.
40:36Eleanor, you finally can't hold back.
40:39Rebecca, inform you. Tell him I'm going to Windsor Marley to visit my mother this afternoon alone.
40:45Alone?
40:48My lady, you know very well that they are here for you.
40:51Just do as I say.
40:54The snake's coming out of its hole.
40:57We need to give it a chance.
41:08Who are you?
41:09I'm under the Duke of Hockmore's protection.
41:12It's exactly you we're looking for.
41:17Hold your position. Wait for Miss Catherine's signal.
41:21The Duke's order. Let her lew them out then we would carry out the arrest.
41:27Eleanor, you want to kill me. Come on.
41:30This time let's see who the real prey is.
41:46Catherine, didn't you expect that?
41:49In the end you still fell into my hands.
41:52Eleanor, I've been waiting for this moment too.
41:58You dare talk back!
42:01You've taken everything from me.
42:03My identity, my status, my life.
42:06Tonight you die!
42:08Your life?
42:09Eleanor, your life is a rich someone else's life that you stole.
42:12The identity, the mother, the wealth and privilege were all stolen by you from others.
42:16Now you're just returning it.
42:19You shut up!
42:22Do you really ink killing me will bring everything back to how it was?
42:25Edward has abandoned you. Bella is rotting in the dungeon.
42:29George, your cowardly husband, why isn't he here?
42:32No.
42:33As long as I kill you, everything will be the same as before.
42:37Eleanor, you know it's over.
42:39From the moment Eleanor swapped the babies, from the moment you helped her poison my mother, your fate was already
42:45sealed.
42:52Let me go! I'm a lady of the Windsor family! How dare you!
42:57A lady of the Windsor family?
43:00You won't be any more soon.
43:11Catherine...
43:12I'm sorry. I killed you late.
43:16You came right on time.
43:20Take them all to the dungeons. Use whatever means necessary. Get every confession.
43:27As for you, you'll face the court's judgement. This time no one can save you.
43:35At this moment, neither my expectation of him nor his suspicion of me mattered any more. I'm just...
43:41Just being held by him like this is enough.
43:49Call the witness.
43:51Martha Fischer.
43:56On the night of June 15th, 19 years ago, Lady Margaret gave birth to a baby girl with a maple
44:03leaf birthmark on her left shoulder bode.
44:06That same night, Bella also gave birth to a daughter.
44:11Bella gave me a large bag of gold coins and told me to swap the two infants.
44:16She said,
44:18It's also what the Lord Edward means.
44:22The ramblings of a mad woman, can they be taken seriously?
44:25This is the receipt Bella wrote for me that year, with her handprint and signature on it.
44:32I've kept it all this time.
44:35I was afraid they'd kill me to silence me.
44:39It's my evidence for self-preservation.
44:42That's impossible! It must be forged evidence!
44:44Call the defendant Bella.
44:50Bella, you bitch! Are you trying to frame me too?
44:54Bella, if you confess, press, press your handprint here.
45:06It's you! It's all because of you! I'll kill you!
45:10Order! Remove the prisoner!
45:16The evidence in this case is conclusive.
45:20The court will announce its verdict on a selected date.
45:24Stolen life, poisoned mother, buried truth.
45:27The evidence is as solid as a mountain.
45:30The 19 years of lies have finally been shattered.
45:34You did it.
45:37We could happen.
45:42In the case of the illegitimate substitution of the rightful heir to the Windsor family.
45:48After deliberation by the Royal Inquiry Court with conclusive evidence, the verdict is as follows.
45:55Firstly, Catherine Margaret Windsor is confirmed to be the legitimate daughter of Lady Margaret and Lord Edward.
46:05Secondly, Eleanor Windsor, being the illegitimate daughter of Bella and Lord Edward, shall be stripped of her noble status and
46:13all inheritance rights, and be barished from high society.
46:17Thirdly, Lord Edward Windsor, for multiple felonies including fraud, substitution of heirs and attempted murder, shall be stripped of his
46:24erstip, all his properties confiscated, and be exiled for life to overseas colonies, never to return.
46:29No! I am a hereditary noble! You can't!
46:33Fourthly, Bella, for her involvement in substitution, poisoning and murder, shall be sentenced to life imprisonment in the dungeons of
46:39the Tower of London until death.
46:43Court adjourned.
46:47My daughter. My daughter, finally. I can finally hold you openly.
46:55Mother. From this day forward, no one will ever tear us apart again.
47:01Dear Catherine.
47:03My lover.
47:05Today, in the presence of God and the King, I, William Hawkemore, will formally request the King to grant our
47:11betrothal.
47:12William!
47:15Catherine Windsor, will you marry me? Not as an ally for revenge, not as proof of your innocent lineage, but
47:21simply as you. The only person I wish to spend the rest of my life with.
47:25In my press of night, I waved my whole light and never found you. In the flight, I don't want
47:30to weigh another limit.
47:34Nineteen years of darkness. After the sake of this moment of light.
47:40While in this moment of light, having him is enough.
47:47My daughter. Tomorrow you'll be getting married.
47:51Mother, come live with me at Hawkemore. I don't want to leave you here alone.
47:54Silly child, this is Windsor Manor. It's my home and it's yours too. I'll be fine.
47:58The new cook is very attentive, the physician comes daily, and you can visit me whenever you wish.
48:06My lady, this letter was secretly delivered by Eleanor through a prison guard.
48:12Catherine, you've won this life. You've taken everything away from me.
48:16You're just lucky. I curse you. You'll still have nothing in your next life. I'll be waiting for you.
48:21That mad woman.
48:26In my previous life, I might have been terrified by such a curse.
48:30But this life, I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
48:34Don't worry, Mother.
48:36My child, these are the deeds to the Windsor Estates.
48:39And the family seal.
48:41They were always meant to be yours.
48:43Now, I'm officially giving them back to you.
48:46Mother.
48:47My child, tomorrow you'll be a Duchess, with infinite honour.
48:50But remember, in this world, a woman's greatest strength is always her own property that she can fully control.
48:56Not her husband's affection or title.
48:58This is the dowry I gave you.
49:00With It's the dowry, no matter what what has in the future, you'll always have a way out in security.
49:04Promise me.
49:04Never rely completely on anyone.
49:06Not even if that someone is Duke William.
49:08Tomorrow, I'll marry Duke William.
49:10But tonight, I just want to be my mother's daughter.
49:13A loved, ordinary daughter.
49:20William Hockmore, would you be willing to marry Kathith Margaret Windsor?
49:23Love her, be loyal to her, whether rich or poor, healthy or ill, until death.
49:29I do.
49:30I swear it with all my heart and my future.
49:45I pronounce that you two are officially husband and wife.
49:46I swear it with all my heart and my future.
49:49I pronounce that you two are officially husband and wife.
49:52William, you may kiss your bride now.
50:05By order of the king, felon Edward Windsor and his accomplice Eleanor are stripped of
50:10all rights and banished to the North Atlantic ice colony for hard labour huff, never to return
50:15to British soil.
50:17Set sail!
50:24Is it too noisy inside?
50:26I just need a little quiet.
50:28They are gone.
50:30Yes, the ship has left port.
50:33In this life, we will never meet again.
50:36William, the blood feud of my previous life, the traps of my present life.
50:41It's all over at this moment.
50:45It's not over.
50:46It's beginning.
50:48Our true life.
50:58This is the invitation to Vignette Roberts' Spring Horse Race.
51:01It seems that you don't think highly of this vice-cut.
51:06Last time at the theatre, you specifically reminded me not to accept his special offer
51:11regarding the stocks of the East India Company.
51:14He…
51:15His fleet investment next spring will be a total loss due to a shipwreck, and it will drag
51:19down many investors.
51:22So, it's better to stay away from him.
51:25A shipwreck next year?
51:27Catherine, this isn't the first time you've said something like this.
51:29You always seem to send trouble before it happens.
51:32I…
51:32I just think a little more than others.
51:36I like to analyze things a bit more.
51:38No, darling.
51:39This isn't analysis.
51:41This is knowing.
51:42Look at me and tell me.
51:44In those beautiful eyes of yours, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?
51:49If…
51:50If I told you I have memories of a past life, that I remember the story of my previous life,
51:55would you cleave me?
51:56I believe you, Catherine.
51:58I've always believed there was something extraordinary about you.
52:00And I am very willing to listen.
52:03No matter what it is.
52:07In the previous life, I was also sent here as a sergeant maid to pay a breeding tool for
52:12George.
52:13I gave birth to his son, and then on that rainy night, Bella killed me.
52:17Then I opened my eyes and found myself back on the day I was chosen at Windsor Manor.
52:21I came back with all my memories.
52:25So, my vague suspicions were right.
52:28Approaching me from the very beginning, it was all part of your plan?
52:32You used me for revenge?
52:34Yes.
52:35At first.
52:36Yes.
52:36But later…
52:37Everything changed.
52:39Your protection.
52:40Your trust.
52:41The respect you gave me even though you saw through my disguise.
52:44And your love.
52:46None of that was in my cold revenge plan.
52:49So, that girl who got lost at the study door fine from the moment she woke up.
52:53She has been bearing the memory from a previous depth and the burdened revenge.
52:59Tell me, Catherine.
53:01In that previous life, did we meet?
53:04No.
53:06In the previous life, you fought for the kingdom outside.
53:09Till the day I died, we've never meet.
53:12Thank God in this life, it has given us the chance to love each other.
53:21Your Grace!
53:23The King urgently summons.
53:24The border is in danger.
53:34No, you can't go.
53:36Catherine, listen to me.
53:37I have to go.
53:38You don't understand.
53:39In my previous life, it was this war.
53:41You went and then…
53:42You never came back.
53:44I heard the war reports.
53:45An ambush at Hawksbeak Gorge.
53:47Heavy snow blocking the mountains.
53:49No reinforcements against…
53:50And you can't go.
53:51You'll die.
53:54Maybe it's precisely because you have memories of your previous life that we can avoid that ending.
53:59You can tell me about all the traps, all the dangers…
54:01What if we can't change it?
54:03What if that destiny is fixed?
54:04I'd rather they call you a coward than watch you go to your death.
54:11William, I'm pregnant.
54:13The physician confirmed it just this morning.
54:16You…
54:17What did you say?
54:18Are you going to let our child be born without a father?
54:21Please, stay.
54:23The King can send someone else.
54:27Catherine, my love, thank you for giving me the most precious gift of my life.
54:32But precisely because of this, I must be a father that our child can be proud of.
54:36A father who doesn't flinch in the face of danger.
54:38This is my personal token.
54:40With this ring, you can command every private soldier, every resource, every piece of wealth
54:44House Hawkmoor possesses.
54:45If I don't return, this will be your shield, your sword, your refuge.
54:49Dear, I don't want this.
54:50I only want you.
54:51I know, my love.
54:53I swear to you, I will come back alive.
54:56For you, for our child, I will fight with everything I have.
54:59Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl back to you.
55:06Alright, dear, I'll wait for you.
55:08No matter how long, I will wait for you to come back.
55:21My love, wait for me to come back.
55:23After this battle, we will never be apart again.
55:25I'll wait for you until I die.
55:32In my previous life, I never met him until my death.
55:36In this life, I am willing to spend the rest of my days waiting for his return.
55:45My lady, push harder!
55:47You can do this, my lady.
55:49Just a little longer.
55:55William!
55:56Where are you?
55:57I can't hold on.
55:59Oh, my...
56:07Victory!
56:08Great victory in the North!
56:10The Duke has won!
56:15My lady, the Duke has won!
56:21He won.
56:24Through the rebels' trap, defeated a larger force.
56:28The rebellion is over.
56:31The Duke has won!
56:33No!
56:36It's a boy!
56:38My lady, the healthy, strong boy!
56:42No!
56:44Do you hear that, my little one?
56:46Your father won?
56:48It's a boy!
56:48He won!
56:59I'm home.
57:00I promised you I came back.
57:05Welcome home, Wayne.
57:06I crawled back from hell, vowing to make fate pay a blood debt.
57:11I once thought revenge was the only meaning of my second life.
57:15That right now, looking at my husband, my child, I finally understand.
57:20God let me live again, not for hate, but for love.
