00:03It's a boy. Perfect.
00:06George now has an heir, and my position is secure.
00:13Bella, kill her and clean this mess up.
00:17Miss Eleanor, you promised freedom once the child was born.
00:21Freedom? Look at you, covered in blood, no better than a kennel bitch.
00:26Do you deserve freedom?
00:31Mother, save me!
00:35I'm not your mother. Never was.
00:39Nineteen years ago, I swapped my daughter with the Countess.
00:42My daughter became Lady Eleanor.
00:44And the Countess's daughter, you, became a maid.
00:49Now you even have to bear a child for my daughter.
00:52No, impossible!
00:57What's the racket?
00:58No, George! They're trying to kill me!
01:02Save me! For the child I won't be!
01:06Annoying. Silence her forever.
01:25Am I dead? Where 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!
01:48Too 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.
02:49Yes, 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.
03:25The 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. With thing. Or the dungeons. Please, Your Grace, it was truly an accident.
03:38An accident? Or a carefully planned move?
03:41I was lost. And now, you've found me.
03:51Mother's maidisher.
03:51Ay-I am planning to envision this AggressοΏ½οΏ½λ come on and itsial.
04:12today is the day I am 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?
04:43Miss, 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.
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.
05:08I know my purpose. I'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.
05:23To 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!
05:44You'd do well to obey.
05:48Silence!
06:09You'd do well to obey.
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...
06:32She's in Lord George's chambers.
06:36Today is the day to...
06:37Fulfill the contract.
06:48Finally quiet.
06:51Let's continue.
06:56Eleanor chose you to bear my child.
06:59I'm sure you must be some special skill.
07:03Let's see if you're worthy.
07:06Hurry up, George.
07:08I don't plan to waste the whole day here.
07:10Then get out!
07:12Stop hovering!
07:13Why?
07:14I need to watch. Make sure she fulfills her duty.
07:19Damn. My stomach's kidding me.
07:21Go to my study.
07:22Leftry will bring the medicine.
07:24Now.
07:25Now?
07:27Right now.
07:28Unless you want to be a widow.
07:35Finally quiet.
07:37Let's continue.
07:46What is this?
07:50Father!
07:51What 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.
08:18Told me to fulfill the agreement.
08:21I refused.
08:22Begged her.
08:23But...
08:23You're never to enter this room again.
08:25Or be near George.
08:26Understood?
08:27I understand.
08:28I 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.
08:44Go 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.
09:09Slip 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.
09:34The door's shut and there's indecent noises coming from inside.
09:37How dare they betray me, this lad.
09:46Bella!
09:53I 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.
10:08I'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.
10:25You're mine.
10:42You old hag!
10:43How did you end up in my bed?
10:44What?
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?
11:01What?
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?
11:30Impossible.
11:31I've been in my room all afternoon.
11:33The maids can vouch.
11:34Enough!
11:35You disgust me, old witch.
11:38Guards!
11:39Kill her!
11:40Eleanor, save me.
11:41If I die, you won't fare well either.
11:43I'm your mother.
11:46If I couldn't, please calm down.
11:48Perhaps, perhaps Lady Bella was nearly momentarily misguided.
11:52She's humiliated you, yes, but she's served me for years.
11:55Execution's too harsh.
11:56Maybe confine-
11:57She deserves death.
11:59Gouge her eyes.
12:00Cut out her tongue first.
12:01Then 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 Helnor 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.
12:40You 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!
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
13:24or walk from a bloody dungeon with an aura of vengeance.
13:27Your grace.
13:28I don't understand your meaning.
13:30I only-
13:30From the moment I almost saw you, I suspected.
13:32You'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,
13:45and ended up in my bed,
13:47to now, kneeling here.
13:49You'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.
14:03Proof?
14:04On my left shoulder blade.
14:06There'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,
14:51how could I miss them so 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.
15:04Surveillance, but also...
15:07Protection.
15:09Yes, your grace.
15:12Katherine!
15:16Remember everything you've told me tonight.
15:18If 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.
15:40Novelty? 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 memorically, she managed to get lost and end up in your grace's bed.
16:03Should we perhaps address her as...
16:06...Hawkmoor's Whore?
16:09Miss Eleanor, by slandering me so, aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone?
16:12That your mother, Bella, is the one who truly climbed into your husband's bed.
16:18Oh!
16:19You bish!
16:21I saw it with my own eyes in the blue salon, and she was so loud when having sex with
16:25your husband.
16:27You lowly whore!
16:38Miss, though I may be of humble birth, I am also the Duke's personally appointed clerk assistant.
16:43I only wish to do my job well.
16:46Why must you treat me this way?
16:48You bish! Don't play the innocent with me!
16:50You can fool the Duke, but not me!
16:53Watch me beat you to death!
16:55Stop!
16:55Stop!
17:05Your Grace, you've come just in time. I'm just lecturing this one who doesn't know the rules.
17:10I didn't ask you.
17:17Does it hurt?
17:20Your Grace, she started it, she provoked me first.
17:28What I saw was her not crossing any boundaries while you struck her.
17:34By Hockmore law, anyone who strikes another without cause receives twenty lashes and is banished from the castle.
17:42Your Grace!
17:43I have respect for your family name, and because you are my daughter-in-law, I'll spare you this time.
17:47I hope this is the last time.
17:52The injury on your face needs ice. Come with me.
18:09It's
18:10Come here Jenny.
18:11Put this into the rose soap Catherine uses everyday.
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. Otherwise, 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. 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.
19:05Rebecca, 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.
19:18Someone 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?
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.
19:39Leave it to me.
19:52Henry said you're sick.
19:57Just a little tired, Your Grace.
20:00Nothing to worry about.
20:05You look very bad.
20:07Has a physician seen you?
20:09No need.
20:10I'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.
20:23That'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?
20:40It's so itchy.
20:46No!
20:47No!
20:47No!
20:48My face!
20:48My hair!
20:52This smell, this damn smell, it was supposed to be in Catherine's room.
20:57How child did it end up here?
21:02Catherine, you vicious bitch.
21:04How dare you?
21:05How dare you do this to me?
21:06I swear, I swear, I will make you pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price.
21:16Your Grace, take a look.
21:20His rash is all over my hands.
21:22And my face.
21:26It's all that wicked Catherine's doing.
21:29She poisoned the soap, trying to disfigure me, to kill me.
21:32Is there such a thing?
21:35Eleanor, within Hockmore Castle, accusations against anything or anyone require 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.
21:50I said I will handle it.
21:53All right, Your Grace.
21:56I'm waiting for your investigation results.
22:03Eleanor's maid, Jenny, has confessed everything.
22:07She admitted that it was Mrs. Eleanor herself who ordered her to add the poison to the soap,
22:12targeting Miss Catherine.
22:13But somehow, that poison soap ended up being used by Mrs. Eleanor herself.
22:21Evidence?
22:23Jenny handed over the remaining powder of the poison.
22:27This is it.
22:28We found the apothecary who sold it.
22:30He confirmed that the purchaser was Mrs. Eleanor's personal maid,
22:34and described her appearance and the amount of gold coins she paid,
22:38which were consistent with the facts.
22:41Plot harm, then file false accusations to cover it up.
22:45Pure evil and unforgivable.
22:47She must be severely punished.
22:50Your Grace.
22:55Mrs. Eleanor has already been punished.
22:57She harmed herself with her own poison.
23:00Perhaps no additional punishment is needed.
23:03Just restricting Mrs. Eleanor's movements is enough.
23:05Let us stay in her room and reflect on her steeds.
23:09Eleanor Windsor, from today, is confined to her room,
23:12not to leave without my express permission.
23:14Remove most of her servants,
23:15leaving only Kutu to serve allowances,
23:17providing on only the basic living.
23:22Father, I heard you mean to punish Eleanor.
23:24She is my wife.
23:26You cannot do this to her.
23:29Precisely because she's your wife that I must punish her.
23:32As the young mistress of Hotmore Castle,
23:34instead of setting an example,
23:35plotted to harm others,
23:37it's unforgivable.
23:39Father,
23:40she might just be confused for a moment.
23:42This is an order, George.
23:51Is this what you want?
23:54What?
23:55This play
23:55was performed extremely wonderful.
24:00Right and wrong, good and evil,
24:02I believe.
24:03You has own judgment.
24:05You still chose to help me, didn't you?
24:07I wonder how many secrets are still hidden in you.
24:26Why did you plead for her?
24:29You know she deserved punishment.
24:30You know she tried to kill you.
24:32I know.
24:34But 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.
24:48If you punished her severely,
24:50there would be a rift between father and son.
24:56You were thinking of me.
24:58Can I?
25:04Catherine,
25:06do you know what I hate the most?
25:08Being played,
25:09especially,
25:10by a woman I can't see through.
25:15Every step you take
25:17is perfectly timed.
25:19Every word you speak
25:21falls at exactly the right moment.
25:24You made me investigate your past.
25:26You showed me your scars.
25:28You made me
25:29unable to resist protecting you.
25:33What if I told you
25:35I'm not playing you?
25:38Then tell me
25:40what part of you is real?
25:44That I didn't want this
25:45to 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, 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 temptress.
26:11Then why do you still?
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 I'm giving myself
26:22to you willingly?
26:23Would you believe it?
26:32Damn, Catherine.
26:34She's actually hooked up with Duke.
26:35It won't be long
26:36before she's riding on our heads.
26:38My father wouldn't be serious
26:39about a servant.
26:40I need to teach her a lesson
26:42to make her know her place.
26:49Catherine, perhaps you'd favor us
26:51with a tune on the harpsichord.
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
27:00her master's demands,
27:02walking to the rules,
27:02she will be slapped in public
27:04and then expelled from the harpsichord.
27:05You can't possibly play.
27:08If you want to listen,
27:09I'll play a piece as you wish.
27:11Cut the axe.
27:13How could a lowborn trash
27:14like you possibly play
27:16the harpsichord?
27:31She's so talented.
27:37Oh my goodness,
27:38this skill is more exquisite
27:40than that of a court musician.
27:42She's a maid.
27:44What?
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.
27:58Mother,
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?
28:08Catherine is my
28:08personally appointed clerk
28:09and an honoured guest
28:10of Hockmore Castle.
28:12Anyone who calls her a 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 surprises
28:24are hidden inside you?
28:30Eleanor,
28:30your mother is unwell.
28:32It's time you escorted her bank.
28:38Mother,
28:38you don't recognise me
28:39but one day
28:40I'll make you see the truth.
28:42See who is truly lowborn.
28:50This is a collection of poems
28:52that belongs to my late wife.
28:53I need a handwritten coffee
28:55in the most precise
28:56copperplate script.
29:03Handwriting like this,
29:04impossible to master
29:05without a decade of training
29:06under a master tutor.
29:08That birthmark
29:08and now this fluid,
29:10aristocratic cropped.
29:11It's as if she's deliberately
29:12dropping these clues
29:13right in front of me.
29:15He's watching me
29:17with doubt.
29:17Will he investigate next?
29:19A truth he uncovers himself
29:20will be far more convincing
29:22than what I simply tell him.
29:27Perfect handwriting,
29:29perfect manners,
29:30perfect flaws.
29:33Your Grace,
29:34an invitation has arrived
29:36from Windsor Manor,
29:37a birthday celebration
29:38for Lady Margaret,
29:39three days from now.
29:40Send word to Windsor.
29:42I will be attending
29:43with a companion.
29:44Your Grace,
29:45your companion is...
29:47Catherine.
29:48She is my clerical assistant.
29:49It is only logical
29:50for her to accompany.
29:51As you command,
29:52your Grace.
29:54Henry,
29:55investigate everything
29:56about the night
29:56the Countess of Windsor
29:57gave birth 19 years ago,
29:59the midwife,
30:00the servants on duty,
30:01anyone who had access
30:02to the infant.
30:04And...
30:06find out exactly
30:07when Bella entered
30:08the Windsor Manor
30:09and every detail
30:10of her confinement.
30:11I want every single detail.
30:14At once,
30:15Your Grace.
30:16Catherine,
30:17what exactly
30:18are you deliberately
30:18showing me?
30:19Is it to make me believe
30:20your story of a stolen identity?
30:22Or are you trying
30:23to lead me into another trap?
30:25You want me to investigate?
30:26Fine.
30:27I'll investigate.
30:29But I'll decide for myself
30:30what to believe in the end.
30:43Oh, my Catherine,
30:44why are you standing
30:45over there?
30:46Come, join us.
30:47Let me introduce everyone.
30:48This is the Duke
30:49of Hawkmore's
30:49clerical assistant.
30:51She used to be a maid
30:52here at Windsor Manor.
30:53Windsor's maid?
30:53I can't believe it.
30:56Mother,
30:56would you like Catherine
30:58to come and pay respects to you?
31:02That won't be necessary.
31:03In the previous life,
31:04Eleanor and Edward
31:05joined forces
31:05to poison my mother.
31:07I can't let the tragedy
31:08repeat itself.
31:14Mother,
31:15this is a nourishing soup
31:16specially made for you
31:17as per the doctor's advice.
31:19Drink it while it's still hot.
31:21My lady,
31:22let me refresh your water.
31:25That smell!
31:27Arsenic!
31:28It's exactly the same poison
31:29that killed me
31:30in my previous life.
31:31No,
31:32I can't let her drink it.
31:33Forgive me, my lady.
31:34I'm so clumsy.
31:36What are you doing?
31:37I'm just cleaning the table
31:38for my lady.
31:41That soup,
31:42something's wrong with it.
31:46What did you find?
31:48There's poison in the soup.
31:50A slow poison.
31:52Taken regularly,
31:53it's fatal.
31:54Are you sure?
31:56What is this?
31:56I need you to help me
31:58have this broth analysed.
31:59Only with solid proof
32:00can the truth be exposed.
32:02What truth?
32:03About why Lady Margaret
32:04is getting weaker.
32:05About why I was raised
32:07as a maid since childhood.
32:08About what exactly happened
32:10at the Earl's House of Winsland
32:1119 years ago.
32:14I'll have Henry find
32:15the 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,
32:25yet he's still willing
32:25to investigate.
32:26This life,
32:27I'm not fighting alone anymore.
32:32The apathotry confirmed it.
32:34The soup was laced with arsenic.
32:36Trace amounts,
32:37but taken regularly,
32:37it's fatal.
32:41Catherine,
32:42now tell me everything.
32:43What you know,
32:43what you suspect.
32:4419 years ago,
32:46Eleanor and I were swapped.
32:48Eleanor is the
32:48ineligimate daughter
32:49of Bella and Edward.
32:51And I...
32:53I am Lady Margaret's
32:54biological daughter.
32:58Do you have any idea
32:59what you're saying?
33:00I know it sounds insane,
33:02but Lady Margaret
33:03is dying a slow death.
33:04The one poisoning her
33:06is my father,
33:07Duke Edward.
33:08And the only way to save her
33:09is the truth
33:10and the proof.
33:12Your Grace,
33:13I'm begging you
33:14send someone to protect her.
33:16Find the midwife
33:17who delivered me.
33:19If she's still alive,
33:20she's the most powerful
33:21witness we could have.
33:23The same story again.
33:24Birthmark,
33:25Swa,
33:26Pleasant,
33:27how much of this is real
33:28and how much is a lie.
33:31Do you know
33:32what I despise most?
33:34What?
33:35Cheetah.
33:36You still don't believe me?
33:37I trust no one.
33:39But whoever you are,
33:41I will solve this mystery myself.
33:44Dispatcher team,
33:45infiltrate Winsdemorner.
33:47Log everyone
33:48who comes near
33:48Lady Margaret's
33:49food or medicine.
33:50Yes.
33:51As for the midwife,
33:53give me every lead
33:54you have.
33:55Turn the earth upside down
33:57if you have to
33:57but find her.
33:58In the end,
33:59you still can't let me go.
34:01And you still help me.
34:09You,
34:10you're the one
34:10who wrote to me.
34:12You said you know
34:13the truth about my illness.
34:14Mother,
34:15what did you call me?
34:19My daughter.
34:20My daughter.
34:22This birthmark.
34:23I had a vague memory
34:24of it after giving birth.
34:25But after waking up,
34:27everyone said
34:27there was no birthmark.
34:28It must be my mistake
34:29to remember.
34:32Bella and Edward
34:33switched me
34:34with her legitimate
34:34daughter,
34:35Eleanor.
34:36I was raised
34:37as a servant
34:37while Eleanor,
34:38she became your daughter.
34:40Edward,
34:41he,
34:42how could he?
34:43Also, Mother,
34:44the nourishing soup
34:44you drank
34:45contained chronic poison.
34:46It was Edward and Bella
34:46who were behind the scenes.
34:47They wanted to kill you slowly.
34:49Why?
34:50Why would they do this?
34:52In order to embezzle
34:53your generous derby
34:53and control the entire
34:54state's assets.
34:56No wonder.
34:58No wonder I've been
34:59getting weaker these years
35:00yet the doctors
35:01can't find the cause.
35:03Edward always insisted
35:04on watching me
35:05drink that medicine.
35:07I remember now.
35:08Nineteen years ago,
35:10Bella gave birth
35:10on the same day as me.
35:12That night was chaotic.
35:13After childbirth,
35:14I fell asleep
35:14and woke up to see Bella
35:15carrying a baby out,
35:16claiming it was hers.
35:18And there was another baby
35:19lying beside me
35:20said to be my daughter.
35:21Edward stood outside the door
35:22looking strange.
35:24I felt something was wrong,
35:25but I convinced myself
35:26I was being paranoid.
35:27It wasn't paranoia, Mother.
35:33Damn.
35:34Lord Edward and Eleanor's
35:35are here.
35:36How did they find this place?
35:37They have informants.
35:39Mother, take care.
35:40I'll come back to save you.
35:43The 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,
35:55follow the alley.
35:56Mother,
35:57wait for me.
35:59I'll wait, my daughter.
36:01Now go.
36:06Who was just here, Mother?
36:08Who did you see?
36:09No one.
36:10Someone was here,
36:11and they haven't gotten far.
36:13Seal off all exits.
36:14Search every inch of this place.
36:15Dead or alive,
36:15find them!
36:20Duke William,
36:20I don't have time
36:21to beat around the bush with you.
36:23Hand over Catherine.
36:24She bewitched my wife,
36:25sown discord,
36:26and plotted to seize
36:27the Windsor family property.
36:28This is an internal matter
36:29of the Windsor family,
36:30and has nothing to do with you.
36:31Catherine is a guest
36:32in my castle,
36:34and my guests are not subject
36:35to anyone's interrogation.
36:37You!
36:38Do you know what you're saying?
36:40Fight against the entire
36:41Windsor family
36:42for the sake of a lowly maid?
36:45I said she's not a maid.
36:46As for who I am against,
36:48I, William Walkmoyer,
36:50have never been afraid.
36:52You'll regret it.
36:53I warn you,
36:54I'll expose this matter to the king.
36:56At that time,
36:56I wonder how you would handle it.
37:06I heard Edward was here,
37:08demanding you hand me over.
37:10He's just daydreaming.
37:11Ignore him.
37:12This is the lab report
37:13on the poison soup
37:14and part of the testimony
37:15from Martha,
37:15the midwife you found.
37:17Though it's not complete,
37:18it's enough to initiate
37:19an official investigation.
37:21An official investigation?
37:23First thing tomorrow,
37:24I'm going to the palace,
37:25presenting all this evidence
37:26to the king.
37:28Why would you do that?
37:31Because the truth must come out.
37:33Someone is poisoning the countess
37:34and someone switched babies
37:3519 years ago.
37:36Such scandals shouldn't be buried.
37:38Only when the truth is out
37:39will you be truly safe.
37:40Only then will Lady Margaret
37:41be truly safe.
37:42Only then will the guilty
37:43face the punishment they deserve.
37:44You don't trust me.
37:45And yet,
37:46you still chose to stand by my side.
37:48I won't deny it.
37:49The moment I first looked
37:50into your eyes,
37:50I was drawn to you.
37:51Your beauty,
37:52your resilience,
37:53your cunning,
37:53even the countless questions
37:54surround you.
37:55They fascinate me.
37:56But what I'm doing now
37:57isn't just for you.
37:58It's for the truth itself.
37:59Duke William,
38:00no matter why
38:01you're doing this now,
38:02one day,
38:03you'll become
38:04my steadfast ally.
38:13We found Martha.
38:17Fisher,
38:17the midwife
38:18from back then,
38:19she confessed.
38:21Bella paid her
38:22and Edward
38:23acquiesced to the switch.
38:25We have now moved
38:26her and her grandson
38:26to a safe house
38:27guarded day and night.
38:29Nineteen years.
38:31Finally.
38:33Leave us.
38:42We did it.
38:52I told you,
38:53it'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 mean to control.
39:09Go ahead.
39:10I'm tired.
39:11The day when the truth
39:12comes tonight
39:13is not far off.
39:14He wants me
39:15and he is trying
39:15his best
39:16to suppress
39:17the intense desire
39:18within his body.
39:19So he still
39:20doesn't fully believe me.
39:23Tell it.
39:26There's so much
39:27in those eyes
39:27that I can't read.
39:30But why do those
39:31unreadable things
39:32keep me awake at night,
39:33haunting my dreams?
39:39That old hat.
39:41That damned midwife.
39:44Catherine actually
39:44found her.
39:46What's all the noise
39:47at this hour?
39:50George!
39:52Catherine framed you
39:53before.
39:54Haven't you wanted
39:54revenge?
39:55Now's our chance.
39:57What do you mean?
39:58The midwife
39:59from when I was born,
40:00Catherine found her.
40:01Once she testifies
40:02about the swap,
40:03I will lose everything.
40:04But before that,
40:05if we make her
40:06disappear permanently...
40:10Are you insane?
40:11She's my father's
40:12woman now!
40:14So what?
40:15Scared?
40:16You're a Viscount
40:17and you're afraid
40:17to touch the woman
40:18who wronged you.
40:20What's the plan?
40:26My lady,
40:28the guards outside
40:28have been replaced
40:29by a new group today.
40:31Those who are not
40:32the Duke.
40:32I recognise them.
40:33They are from
40:34Windsor House.
40:36Eleanor,
40:37you finally can't
40:38hold back.
40:39Rebecca,
40:40inform you.
40:41Tell him
40:42I'm going to
40:43Windsor Marley
40:43to visit my mother
40:44this afternoon alone.
40:45Alone?
40:48My lady,
40:49you know very well
40:50that they are here
40:51for you.
40:51Just do as I say.
40:54The snake's coming
40:55out of its hole.
40:57We need to give it
40:58a chance.
41:08Who are you?
41:10I'm under the Duke
41:11of Hockmore's protection.
41:12It's exactly you
41:13we're looking for.
41:17Hold your position.
41:19Wait for Miss Catherine's
41:20signal.
41:21The Duke's order,
41:22let her loo them out
41:23then we would
41:23carry out the arrest.
41:28Eleanor,
41:28you want to kill me?
41:29Come on.
41:30This time,
41:30let's see who
41:31the real prey is.
41:46Catherine,
41:47didn't you expect that?
41:49In the end,
41:50you still fell
41:51into my hands.
41:53Eleanor,
41:54I've been waiting
41:55for this moment too.
41:58You dare talk back!
42:01You've taken
42:02everything from me.
42:03My identity,
42:04my status,
42:05my life.
42:06Tonight,
42:06you die!
42:08Your life?
42:09Eleanor,
42:10your life is a
42:10rich someone else's
42:11life that you stole.
42:12The identity,
42:13the mother,
42:14the wealth and privilege
42:15were all stolen
42:15by you from others.
42:17Now you're just
42:17returning it.
42:19You shut up!
42:22Do you really?
42:23Ain't killing me
42:24will bring everything
42:24back to how it was.
42:25Edward has abandoned you.
42:27Bella is rotting
42:28in the dungeon.
42:29George,
42:29your cowardly husband,
42:31why isn't he here?
42:32No.
42:33As long as I kill you,
42:35everything will be
42:36the same as before.
42:38But Eleanor,
42:38you know it's over.
42:39From the moment
42:40Eros swapped the babies,
42:41from the moment
42:42you helped her
42:43poison my mother,
42:44your fate was
42:45already sealed.
42:52Let me go.
42:54I'm a lady
42:55of the Windsor family.
42:56How dare you?
42:57A lady of the Windsor family.
43:00You won't be
43:01any more soon.
43:10Catherine.
43:12I'm sorry.
43:14I killed you late.
43:17You came right on time.
43:20Take them all
43:21to the dungeons.
43:22Use whatever means
43:23necessary.
43:24Get every confession.
43:27As for you,
43:28you'll face
43:29the court's judgment.
43:30This time,
43:31no one can save you.
43:35At this moment,
43:36neither my expectation
43:37of him
43:38nor his suspicion
43:38of me mattered anymore.
43:40I'm just...
43:41Just being held
43:42by him like this
43:43is enough.
43:49Call the witness.
43:51Martha Fischer.
43:56On the night
43:57of June 15th,
43:5819 years ago,
44:00Lady Margaret
44:01gave birth
44:01to a baby girl
44:02with a maple leaf
44:04birthmark
44:04on her left shoulder
44:05bode.
44:06That same night,
44:07Bella also gave birth
44:09to a daughter.
44:11Bella gave me
44:12a large bag
44:13of gold coins
44:14and told me
44:15to swap
44:15the two infants.
44:17She said,
44:18it's also
44:19what the Lord
44:20Edward means.
44:22The ramblings
44:23of a mad woman.
44:24Can they be
44:24taken seriously?
44:26This is the receipt
44:27Bella wrote
44:28for me that year
44:29with her handprint
44:31and signature on it.
44:32I've kept it
44:33all this time.
44:35I was afraid
44:36they'd kill me
44:37to silence me.
44:39It's my evidence
44:40for self-preservation.
44:42That's impossible.
44:43It must be
44:43forged evidence.
44:44Call the defendant
44:45Bella.
44:50Bella, you bitch.
44:52Are you trying
44:52to frame me too?
44:54Bella,
44:54if you confess,
44:56press,
44:57press your handprint here.
45:06It's you!
45:07It's all because of you!
45:09I'll kill you!
45:11Hold on!
45:11Remove the prisoner!
45:17The evidence
45:18in this case
45:19is conclusive.
45:20The court
45:21will announce
45:22its verdict
45:22on a selected date.
45:24Stolen life,
45:25poisoned mother,
45:26buried truth.
45:27The evidence
45:28is as solid
45:29as a mountain.
45:30The 19 years
45:31of lies
45:32have finally
45:32been shattered.
45:34You did it.
45:37We could have...
45:42In the case
45:43of the illegitimate
45:44substitution
45:45of the rightful
45:46heir to the
45:47Windsor family,

46:26confiscated
46:26and be exiled
46:27for life
46:28to overseas colonies
46:29never to return.
46:30No!
46:30I am a hereditary noble!
46:32You can't...
46:33Fourthly,
46:33Bella,
46:34for her involvement
46:35in substitution,

46:47My daughter.
46:49My daughter.
46:50Finally.
46:52I can finally
46:53hold you openly.
46:55Mother,
46:56from this day forward
46:58no one will ever
46:58tear us apart again.
47:01Dear Catherine,
47:03my lover.
47:05Today,
47:06in the presence of God
47:07and the King,
47:08I, William Hawkmore,
47:09will formally request
47:10the King to grant
47:11our betrothal.
47:12William!
47:15Catherine Windsor,
47:16will you marry me?
47:17Not as an ally for revenge,
47:19not as proof
47:19of your innocent lineage,
47:21but simply as you,
47:23the only person
47:24I wish to spend
47:24the rest of my life with.
47:25In my press of night,
47:27I waved my whole light
47:28and never found you.
47:29In this light,
47:29I don't want to weigh
47:30another limit.
47:34Nineteen years of darkness
47:36after the sake
47:37of this moment of light.
47:40While in this moment of light,
47:42having him is enough.
47:47My daughter,
47:48tomorrow you'll be
47:49getting married.
47:51Mother,
47:52come live with me
47:52at Hawkmore.
47:53I don't want to leave
47:53you here alone.
47:54Silly child,
47:55this is Windsor Manor.
47:55It's my home
47:56and it's yours too.
47:57I'll be fine.
47:59The new cook
47:59is very attentive,
48:00the physician comes daily,
48:02and you can visit me
48:03whenever you wish.
48:06My lady,
48:07this letter
48:08was secretly delivered
48:09by Eleanor
48:09through a prison guard.
48:12Catherine,
48:13you've won this life.
48:14You've taken
48:15everything away from me.
48:16You're just lucky.
48:17I curse you.
48:18You'll still have nothing
48:19in your next life.
48:20I'll be waiting for you.
48:21That mad woman.
48:27In my previous life,
48:28I might have been terrified
48:29by such a curse,
48:30but this life,
48:33I'm not afraid
48:33of anything anymore.
48:34Don't worry, Mother.
48:36My child,
48:37these are the deeds
48:38to the Windsor Estates.
48:40and the family seal.
48:41They were always
48:42meant to be yours.
48:43Now,
48:44I'm officially
48:45giving them back to you.
48:46Mother.
48:47My child,
48:48tomorrow you'll be a duchess
48:49with infinite honor.
48:50But remember,
48:51in this world,
48:52a woman's greatest strength
48:53is always her own property
48:54that she can fully control,
48:56not her husband's
48:57affection or title.
48:58This is the dowry
48:59I gave you.
49:00With it's the dowry,
49:01no matter what
49:01what happens in the future,
49:02you'll always have
49:03a way out in security.
49:04Promise me.
49:05Never rely completely
49:06on anyone,
49:06not even if that someone
49:07is Duke William.
49:08Tomorrow,
49:09I'll marry Duke William.
49:10But tonight,
49:11I just want to be
49:12my mother's daughter.
49:13A loved,
49:15ordinary daughter.
49:20William Hockmore,
49:21would you be willing
49:22to marry
49:22Caffith Margaret Windsor?
49:24Love her,
49:24be loyal to her,
49:25whether rich or poor,
49:27healthy or ill,
49:28until death.
49:29I do.
49:30I swear it on my life
49:32and my honor.
49:33To Thrym Margaret Windsor,
49:49I pronounce that you two
49:50are officially
49:51husband and wife.
49:52William,
49:53you may kiss
49:53your bride now.
50:05By order of the king,
50:08felon Edward Windsor
50:09and his accomplice Eleanor
50:10are stripped of all rights
50:11and banished
50:12to the North Atlantic
50:12Ice Colony
50:13for hard labor huff,
50:15never to return
50:16to British soil.
50:17Set sail!
50:24Is it too noisy inside?
50:26I just need a little quiet.
50:28They are gone.
50:30Yes,
50:31the ship has left port.
50:33In this life,
50:34we will never meet again.
50:36William,
50:37a blood feud
50:38of my previous life,
50:39the traps of my present life.
50:41It's all over
50:42at this moment.
50:45It's not over,
50:47it's beginning.
50:48our true life.
50:58This is the invitation
50:59to Vignette Roberts'
51:00spring horse race.
51:01It seems that you don't
51:02think highly of this
51:03vice-cut.
51:06Last time at the theater,
51:08you specifically reminded me
51:09not to accept
51:10his special offer
51:11regarding the stocks
51:12of the East India Company.
51:14He,
51:15his fleet investment
51:16next spring,
51:17will be a total loss
51:18due to a shipwreck,
51:19and it will drag down
51:20many investors.
51:21So,
51:22it's better to stay away
51:23from him.
51:25A shipwreck next year?
51:27Catherine,
51:28this isn't the first time
51:28you've said something like this.
51:30You always seem to
51:30send trouble
51:31before it happens.
51:32I,
51:33I just think a little
51:34more than others.
51:36I like to analyze
51:37things a bit more.
51:38No,
51:39darling,
51:40this isn't analysis.
51:41This is knowing.
51:42Look at me and tell me.
51:44In those beautiful eyes
51:45of yours,
51:46how many more secrets
51:47are you hiding from me?
51:49If,
51:50if I told you
51:50I have memories
51:51of a past life,
51:53that I remember
51:54the story of my previous life,
51:55would you cleave me?
51:56I believe you,
51:57Catherine.
51:58I've always believed
51:58there was something
51:59extraordinary about you,
52:00and I am very willing
52:02to listen,
52:03no matter what it is.
52:07In the previous life,
52:09I was also sent here
52:10as a sergeant maid
52:11to pay a breeding tool
52:12for George.
52:13I gave birth to his son,
52:14and then on that rainy night
52:15Bella killed me.
52:17Then I opened my eyes
52:18and found myself back
52:19on the day I was chosen
52:20at Windsor Manor.
52:22I came back
52:22with all my memories.
52:24So,
52:25my vague suspicions
52:27were right.
52:28Approaching me
52:29from the very beginning
52:29it was all part of your plan?
52:33You used me for revenge?
52:34Yes.
52:35At first.
52:36Yes.
52:36But later,
52:38everything changed.
52:39Your protection,
52:41your trust,
52:42the respect you gave me
52:43even though you saw
52:44through my disguise,
52:44and your love.
52:47None of that was
52:47in my cold revenge plan.
52:50So,
52:50that girl who got lost
52:51at the study door
52:52fine from the moment
52:53she woke up,
52:54she has been bearing
52:55the memory from
52:55a previous depth
52:56and the burdened revenge.
52:59Tell me, Catherine,
53:01in that previous life,
53:03did we meet?
53:04No.
53:06In the previous life,
53:07you fought for the kingdom outside
53:09till the day I died
53:10we've never meet.
53:12Thank God in this life
53:14it has given us
53:14the chance
53:15to love each other.
53:22You're great!
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,
53:40it was this war
53:41you went
53:42and then
53:42you never came back.
53:44I heard the war reports,
53:45an ambush
53:46at Hawksbeak Gorge,
53:47heavy snow
53:48blocking the mountains,
53:49no reinforcements
53:50against,
53:50and you can't go,
53:51you'll die.
53:54Maybe it's precisely
53:55because you have memories
53:56of your previous life
53:57that we can avoid that ending.
53:59You can tell me about
54:00all the traps,
54:01all the dangers-
54:01What if we can't change it?
54:03What if that destiny is fixed?
54:05I'd rather they call you a coward
54:06than watch you go to your death.
54:10William,
54:11I'm pregnant.
54:13The physician confirmed it
54:15just this morning.
54:16You-
54:17What did you say?
54:18Are you going to let
54:19our child be born
54:20without a father?
54:21Please,
54:22stay.
54:23The king can send
54:24someone else.
54:27Catherine, my love,
54:29thank you
54:30for giving me
54:30the most precious gift
54:31of my life.
54:32But precisely because of this,
54:33I must be a father
54:35that our child
54:35can be proud of,
54:36a father who doesn't flinch
54:37in the face of danger.
54:38This is my personal token.
54:40With this ring,
54:41you can command
54:41every private soldier,
54:43every resource,
54:43every piece of wealth
54:44House Hawkmoor possesses.
54:45If I don't return,
54:46this will be your shield,
54:47your sword,
54:48your refuge.
54:49Dear,
54:49I don't want this.
54:50I only want you.
54:51I know, my love.
54:53I swear to you,
54:54I will come back alive.
54:56For you,
54:57for our child,
54:58I will fight
54:58with everything I have.
54:59Even if I have to crawl,
55:00I will crawl back to you.
55:06All right, dear,
55:07I'll wait for you.
55:08No matter how long,
55:09I will wait for you
55:10to come back.
55:22My love,
55:22wait for me to come back.
55:23After this battle,
55:24we will never be apart again.
55:26I'll wait for you
55:26until I die.
55:32In my previous life,
55:34I never met him
55:34until my death.
55:36In this life,
55:37I am willing to spend
55:38the rest of my days
55:39waiting for his return.
55:45Push, my lady!
55:46Push harder!
55:48You can do this,
55:49my lady.
55:50Just 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,
56:17the Duke has won!
56:19And the Battle of Eagles
56:20platter us!
56:21He won!
56:24Through the rebel's trap,
56:26defeated a larger force.
56:28The rebellion is over!
56:36It's a boy!
56:38My lady,
56:39a healthy,
56:39strong boy!
56:44Do you hear that,
56:45my little one?
56:46Your father won.
56:48He won!
56:49My little one!
56:59I'm home.
57:00I promised you,
57:01I came back.
57:05Welcome home,
57:06Wade.
57:07I crawled back from hell,
57:09vowing to make fate
57:10pay a blood debt.
57:11I once thought revenge
57:12was the only meaning
57:13of my second life.
57:15that right now,
57:16looking at my husband,
57:17my child,
57:18I finally understand.
57:20God let me live again,
57:22not for hate,
57:23but for love.
57:23No,
57:26who's been a rest of the world,
57:27I walked into myragps,
57:27I peaceΠ°Π³ icebergs,
57:28I jadi on for that.
57:31my wallet,
57:31I give it to my heart,
57:32I hope it's named Charlie,
57:32you've talked about me.
