The Duchess with the Scalpel
Transcript
00:03Your Grace, please! Send for the family doctor!
00:10My lady is with child and burning with fever. If this goes on, she will die. I beg you!
00:28Darling, what's all that noise outside?
00:30Who else? Your dear Duchess.
00:34Don't mention her. I married her only for her father's sake.
00:40Prince Alaric owes my parents a blood debt, and his daughter shall repay it.
00:45She is still your lawful wife.
00:47And carries your child in her belly.
00:50Child? She drugged me and forced that child on me. I wish I had never touched her.
00:57The only woman fit to bear my children is you.
01:03Your Grace, let me deal with her.
01:18Please tell His Grace my lady needs a doctor at once.
01:24You want a doctor? Then go find one yourselves.
01:36The Duke said, if you had not drugged him, he never would have touched you.
01:42Just looking at your face makes him sick.
01:45And one more thing.
01:47I was never pregnant a year ago.
01:49You knelt in that chapel all night for a child that never even existed.
01:53You are dying, aren't you?
01:56When you die, he will marry me.
02:14My lady!
02:25Kale, I didn't know you despised me this much.
02:30But I won't cling to you anymore.
02:32I have no strength left.
02:35My lady! My lady!
02:38Surgery queen, where the hell are you? The party's waiting on you.
02:41That last surgery took 12 hours. I'm dead tired.
02:45I heard about it. The impossible case, right?
02:48In a field ruled by men, you became the best surgeon of them all.
02:52I seriously worship you.
03:03Wait, did I travel to the past?
03:06This feels like the memory of the original owner of this body before she died.
03:11My child, Lord.
03:12May this little soul rest in peace and find eternal joy in heaven.
03:17The service is complete.
03:18I remember now.
03:20This is one year before the original owner's death.
03:23The day Lilith faked her pregnancy and framed her for causing the miscarriage.
03:28In her last life, her husband forced her to kneel all night and pray for a child that never even
03:33existed.
03:36Since I've taken over her body, I'll live her life properly.
03:40And I'll make every last one of them pay.
03:42Elevan, the donation book is here. Sign your name.
03:46You will set up a mass fund for this child.
03:48And from this day on, you will come to this chapel every month to pray for him.
03:52Do not cry.
03:54We can have another child.
03:57Tonight, you will kneel here.
04:00Pray for that child's soul and repent for what you have done.
04:05In the house of God, forcing your lawful wife to repent for an infant who has never entered into the
04:11parish register goes against church rule.
04:13Duchess, if you do not want to pray for my child, you can simply say so.
04:19My child never even had the chance to be born.
04:22But then again, what kindness could I expect from the daughter of a man drenched in blood?
04:32Elowen, enough.
04:33Stop making a scene.
04:35I will deal with you outside.
04:40Do not touch me.
04:41You disgust me.
04:51I will not sign that.
04:53If there is nothing else, I am leaving.
04:59Is this another one of your games?
05:01Let me make this clear.
05:03Your father killed my parents.
05:05I will never forgive you.
05:06Never!
05:11This is supposedly the funeral of your mistress's unborn child.
05:15And yet all you can think about is whether your wife wants your attention.
05:22And you, Miss Lilith, were you ever pregnant at all?
05:34What nonsense are you speaking?
05:36Is this how Prince Alaric raised his daughter?
05:38To defy her husband before God?
05:40Instead of lecturing me on obedience, your grace, perhaps you should ask Miss Lilith where the child's body is.
05:49Duchess, what are you saying?
05:52Do you truly think I would lie about my own child?
05:55This is Saint Candle Chapel.
05:57The only woman here with the right to speak is the lawful Duchess of Blackthorne.
06:03A mistress with no place in the parish has no right to interrupt me.
06:07So tell me, Lilith, where is the child's body?
06:10Why has no one ever seen it?
06:11I'm straight.
06:12Church law is clear.
06:13Even an unborn child must be entered into the parish record and witnessed by a priest before burial.
06:19If you want me to kneel here and pray, then show me the body.
06:23Father Damaso, bring the register.
06:26As Duchess, I have every right to know this child's record and where the body is.
06:31Your grace, it seems this child never existed.
06:38Your grace, this was our first child.
06:44I could not bear to let him go.
06:47That is why I did not ask Father Damaniel to register him.
06:50Then when the body is properly brought here and properly entered, I will come and pray.
06:55Until you know the truth, do not use a false charge to humiliate your lawful wife.
07:06Lilith, were you lying to me?
07:08Your grace, do you doubt me too?
07:11I see now.
07:12In your heart, I mean less than a few words from the Duchess.
07:15Of course.
07:16I am only a mistress.
07:18I have no title.
07:19No name.
07:23Elowen.
07:24One day that title will be mine.
07:27Just wait.
07:51What is it, Flora?
07:52Is something on my face?
07:53No, my lady.
07:54It is only you seem different now.
07:57No matter how much I change, I am still your lady.
08:03Bring me pen and paper.
08:17Get everything on this list for me, as quickly as you can.
08:20My lady, why do you need surgical tools?
08:22Do not ask.
08:24Just do as I say.
08:26Take the small path by the cottages, and make sure no one sees you.
08:43I need the body of a newborn who died at birth.
08:49Quickly.
08:52What do you want it for?
08:57That is none of your concern.
08:59Do not worry.
09:01Once I secure my place as Duchess, that Duke will die soon enough.
09:05And when he does, the whole estate will be ours.
09:10But then you will be a Duchess, and I will still be nothing.
09:13You will forget me.
09:15Never.
09:16Never.
09:16This is proof that I love you.
09:33Don't worry.
09:34The Duke and Duchess won't live long.
09:51My lady, I took the small path like you told me, and I saw Miss Lilith's with a man by
09:56the cottageage.
09:57And I heard her.
09:59She is planning to get rid of both you and the Duke.
10:02Look, Lilith, I never cared to dirty my hands with your filth, but, but if you want to destroy me,
10:08then do not blame me for destroying you first.
10:20I need a private room.
10:22No one is to disturb me.
10:24I am about to perform surgery, and I need a trustworthy nun to assist me.
10:31Surgery?
10:32The Duke would never allow such a thing.
10:36Your Grace, you should go elsewhere.
10:40Father, do not refuse me so quickly.
10:42Miss Lilith was never pregnant.
10:44Is that the truth?
10:47I would never lie in the house of God.
10:53Father, if Miss Lilith brings in a body, will you register it?
10:56If you do, you dishonor the Lord.
10:59If you do not, you risk offending the Duke and losing his support.
11:03But I can help you, Father.
11:05I can make this chapel known far and wide.
11:08My father is a prince.
11:10Compared to him, the Duke is nothing.
11:13Your Grace, what would you have me do?
11:20Find out who Lilith has been meeting in secret.
11:24If you can, bring me proof.
11:31This scar stayed with her for twenty years.
11:34So did the Duke's disgust.
11:38Today, I cut this scar away with my own hands.
11:42From this moment on, she and I are both reborn.
11:47Father, I have brought the child's body.
11:49Please enter it into the register at once.
11:53Right on cue.
12:06Your Grace, Father DiMio refuses to register our child.
12:10Must our child be denied even a resting place?
12:14Father DiMiano, register the child at once.
12:17Follow the proper process.
12:20Duchess, the child's body is here now.
12:22When you will pray for him and repent for your sin?
12:26My poor child from my last life.
12:28May your next life be kinder than this one.
12:30May God protect you.
12:32If your Grace wants everything done by the rules,
12:36then let us speak of the rules properly.
12:38What is there to discuss?
12:40Apologize to Lilith and spend the night repenting!
12:44Go on, Elowen.
12:46Take the blame for what never existed.
12:49Your Grace,
12:51Miss Lilith,
12:52please remain calm.
12:54According to church custom and the law of Victoria,
12:59before an infant who died young may be entered into the parish register,
13:03the body must first be examined,
13:06the cause of death and time of death confirmed,
13:09and a death certificate issued by a licensed physician.
13:13Only then may the process continue.
13:16This rule cannot be broken.
13:19Miss Lilith,
13:20where is the death certificate?
13:23Can you provide the time of death?
13:25The birth record?
13:30Where is the death certificate?
13:32Answer me!
13:34Since this child supposedly died,
13:36I have not even seen him once.
13:37What are you hiding?
13:40I was heartbroken.
13:41I forgot to call the doctor.
13:43Your Grace,
13:44please.
13:45You must believe me!
13:47You cannot show proof,
13:48because this is not your child with the Duke.
13:51It is just a body you found somewhere else.
13:56You lied to me?
14:01This concerns the bloodline of House Blackthorn.
14:04If such a record were entered unlawfully,
14:07the entire family would be shamed.
14:09Your Grace,
14:10if I remember correctly,
14:11it was my father who secured your title.
14:14And House Blackthorn does not end with your branch alone, does it?
14:19No one speaks of what happened here today!
14:22No one!
14:23Lilith,
14:25How does it feel?
14:26Being thrown away.
14:28And this is only the beginning.
14:30No!
14:50My lady, I found out.
