00:00To be continued...
00:30Felix Ashburton begs for the hand of Lady Isolid.
00:32I shall honour her for all the rest of my days.
00:34I was married to Felix.
00:37My half-sister Cecily took my place in the royal consort selection.
00:41She gained the most coveted position within the court of the Prince of Wales, chief lady's maid.
00:46You ruined her reputation and yet married her.
00:49The Hamiltons have become the laughingstock of London's high society.
00:53She bears seven parts of resemblance to Cecily. That is enough.
00:56Furthermore, the family's crippling debts require her status and watching.
01:02I died in childbirth. My child did not survive.
01:06I had been reborn.
01:08Back to the night before the royal selection.
01:13None of you will escape me this time.
01:16Good evening, sister.
01:18Cecily, what brings you here so late at night?
01:20I made this myself. It is a farewell gift for you.
01:23After all, tomorrow is the royal consort selection.
01:26Chloroform.
01:27How familiar this scent is.
01:33I am not afraid.
01:35I am just doing my utmost to stop myself from wringing her neck right now.
01:39Won't you drink it, Isolid?
01:40Is something wrong?
01:42I was just thinking, it feels odd to drink alone.
01:45Have a drink with me, Cecily.
01:48Tomorrow's your big day, sister.
01:50This wine, it was made just for you.
01:51Indulge me this once.
01:52Since it is a farewell toast, we ought to drink together.
01:54The wine has turned cold.
01:56Let me pour us two fresh cups.
01:58No need.
01:59Let me do the pouring for you.
02:03Every detail of this night is etched deep into my bone.
02:11The Clocroform is real, and I will use it.
02:14Just not on myself.
02:21Enjoy your new life, dear sister.
02:29The time has come.
02:45Hurry.
02:46Go faster.
02:48Take her away.
02:57This is the personal ignea of the Hamilton air, a one-of-a-kind piece across the whole country.
03:03In my past life, Felix lied that he dropped it during a visit, and my foolish father believed every word.
03:11Help her now!
03:13Help!
03:15Miss, what has happened?
03:16A man took Ceci away.
03:18He climbed in through the east window and carried my sister off.
03:21I saw him escape over the wall with my own eyes!
03:24Scandals within noble families are always buried in secret, never to be spread.
03:28If I send for the authorities, the Earl will surely have my skin.
03:33If my sister suffers harm because of even one second of your delay, you will answer directly to the Earl.
03:38What's more, tonight is the royal curfew decreed by Her Majesty the Queen.
03:41If you dare to cover up a violent crime against a noble lady during curfew,
03:44you will face not only the gallows of Scotland Yard, but also the wrath of the royal family.
03:48Tell me, which do you prefer?
03:50I'll get the horses at once!
03:52I'll go straight to Scotland Yard!
03:58Lila, come here.
04:00Miss, what are your orders?
04:01Go to the Bull Tavern.
04:03Find the correspondent from the Times, give him this,
04:05and tell him the personal insignia of the Hamilton heir was found at the crime scene in the Thorn Manor
04:09tonight.
04:10Miss, this will stir up public opinion across all of London!
04:13That is exactly what I want.
04:15Do not say another word.
04:16Let that scandal-chasing hound sniff out the truth and draw his own conclusions.
04:19Understood, Miss. I leave now.
04:22By early morning tomorrow, this scandal will spread everywhere.
04:28Such reckless behaviour. What has happened?
04:30Cecily has been abducted. A man broke in through the east roof window last night and took her away.
04:33The servants have already sent word to Scotland Yard.
04:35You sent for Scotland Yard without consulting me, the head of this house, at all?
04:38A life is at stake. There was no time to waste.
04:40There is always time to think! Do you have any idea what this means for-
04:44What it means for the family reputation, I know exactly what you are going to say.
04:48Listen. The Royal Consort's selection is held today.
04:52Both the Prince of Wales and Queen Victoria will attend in person.
04:55If word gets out that the heir of the Hamilton family committed such a heinous crime of drugging and assault,
04:59and the Thorn family covered up evidence to protect him,
05:01we will become more than just a laughingstock across London.
05:03We will be utterly destroyed.
05:05Your title of Earl, your valued seat in the Cabinet, everything will be revoked by the Queen.
05:11But think differently.
05:13If our family takes the initiative and brings the criminal to justice,
05:16then the Thorn family will be seen as loyal subjects who uphold Her Majesty's laws even under strict curfew.
05:23It will be a perfect tale to go down in history.
05:26My Lord, men from Scotland Short have arrived.
05:30Inspector Arthur Rowe is leading the team.
05:33Show the inspector in.
05:36The Hamiltons.
05:37Three years ago, they framed my father and let him die in Newgate Prison.
05:40I have waited for this opening for three long years.
05:43Inspector, the Thorn household reported the second young lady has been abducted.
05:45The situation is complicated.
05:47Just the usual tricks of the nobles.
05:48Let's go take a look.
05:50No hysterics, no tears.
05:52This Miss Thorn is far too calm.
05:54Mrs. Leadthorn, I am Inspector Arthur Rowe from Scotland Yard.
05:57Inspector Rowe, thank you for coming late at night.
05:59I will show you the scene.
06:01The cordial has an odd odour.
06:02These are signs of a struggle and dragging.
06:04Scuff marks left by hard objects.
06:06The culprit escaped through this window.
06:07You are extraordinarily calm.
06:08Hardly the demeanour of a delicate noble lady who has just faced mortal danger.
06:11Panic changes nothing.
06:12Rather than weeping, I would sooner see the criminal hang.
06:15Inspector, the culprit seems to have dropped something.
06:18Do you recognise this, Miss Thorn?
06:21I saw an identical one at Villick Pembroke's Ball last month.
06:23On whom?
06:24On Felix Ashworth, the heir of the Hamilton family.
06:27Though, I might be mistaken.
06:29She is not mistaken.
06:31We both know it.
06:33This is a perfect trap.
06:35Handed right to me.
06:38Seal off Hamilton Manor.
06:39Not so much as a sparrow takes wing from these grounds.
06:42Send forth the coroner post-haste.
06:49Inspector, the overnight report from the Public Aletic Laboratory.
06:52Rush through urgently.
07:02This wine was brought to me by my sister Cecily herself.
07:06She lied and said she brewed it with her own hands.
07:08Too flawless.
07:09Every tear, every prearranged accusation.
07:11She is making use of me.
07:12Yet, I am exactly in need of this knife.
07:15Your two accomplices have fully confessed.
07:17All promises from Cecily were nothing but a scam.
07:19Will you keep hiding and condemn yourself to felony charges?
07:21I only followed orders.
07:23Miss Cecily forced me to pass word to Felix.
07:25I watched her pour the drug into the sweet wine with my own eyes.
07:28I truly knew nothing else.
07:30Miss Thurns.
07:32We hold physical evidence, two witness statements, plus Ella's signed confession,
07:36alongside the family crest.
07:38The case is iron lat beyond dispute.
07:43That is excellent news, Inspector.
07:45One matter to confirm.
07:46You stated Cecily's left the room temporarily,
07:48and you returned in time to spot the abductor escaping through the window.
07:52That is correct.
07:56She lied.
07:56She personally handed her sister over to that brute.
08:00This woman is as cold and calculating as a ruthless politician.
08:04And I admire it.
08:06Launch a city wild manhunt.
08:08Arrest Felix Ashworth on site.
08:10Detain Ceci Thorne immediately once located.
08:13Extra, extra!
08:14Hamilton Air arrested!
08:16Shocking scandal on the eve of royal selection!
08:19Good heavens!
08:21Felix got himself mixed up in this the night before the royal selection.
08:23The Hamiltons are finished for good.
08:25The Marquise may not live to see tomorrow's sunrise.
08:27That's the illegitimate daughter of Earl Thorne, the kidnapped lady from last night's scandal.
08:31She's dragged the whole nobility's reputation through the mad.
08:34Cecily Thorne, you're arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to abduction.
08:37Let go of me!
08:38I am the Earl's daughter!
08:40Father, save me!
08:41Felix, save me!
08:42Isalene!
08:43You ruined me!
08:44You witch!
08:45I'll never forgive you!
08:46When I was abandoning on this very street in my past life, no one came to save me.
08:51All you endure now is the fruit you planted yourself.
08:54Pick up the pace.
08:56We must not be late for the royal selection.
08:59My dear Miss Thorne, we've all heard of your dreadful family incident last night.
09:04Your half-sister was abandoned like trash on Piccadilly Street.
09:07Will your father resign from the cabinet voluntarily, or will Her Majesty dismiss him?
09:12Lady Evelyn, royal selection prioritizes personal impegrity.
09:16Last night's crime falls under Scotland Yard's jurisdiction.
09:19They already have solid evidence and suspects in custody.
09:21As for my family's standing, Her Majesty will make her own wise judgment.
09:24After all, she always has impeccable discernment.
09:28Shall we head inside?
09:31Miss Isalette Thorne!
09:33We've heard endless rumors about you since early morning.
09:35I expect so, Your Highness.
09:37Most of them seem to work entirely in your favor.
09:39I would never presume to say so myself.
09:41You are most intriguing.
10:05Dancing is concluded.
10:07All candidates, tidy your appearance and line up for Her Majesty's inspection in the audience chamber.
10:18Hollow bows, greedy eyes, hidden plots.
10:22Nothing but shallow, pretentious fools.
10:32This is a trial of composure.
10:34Screaming or weeping right now would cost me everything.
10:40No harm done.
10:41Be more careful on your way back.
10:44Miss Isalette Thorne.
10:46Keep her.
10:47Appoint her as Senior Lady and Waitering immediately.
10:50I thank Your Majesty for your grace.
11:02It was you!
11:03You planned everything, you devil!
11:10Miss Thorne, you will be given your turn to speak.
11:13Maintain your dignity.
11:14It was Felix!
11:15He tricked me and manipulated all of this.
11:17He made me lace the wine with the drug!
11:18You lie!
11:19You envied your sister and came on to me of your own free will.
11:21Your confession proves you leaked the manor's security details.
11:25You lowborn bastard!
11:26You dare frame my air with such despicable tricks!
11:29You pack of lying vipers!
11:31You promised me advancement!
11:32Now you want to throw me under the carriage!
11:36Silence!
11:36The petitioner, Miss Isalette Thorne, may now address the court.
11:41Cecily Thorne obtained restricted chloroform to incapitate me
11:43and passed over the household's defensive intelligence to Felix in exchange for court favor.
11:47All evidence and witness statements filed before this court confirm every detail.
11:52I have but one question for Mr. Ashworth.
11:56If your affection for Miss Cecily was genuine,
11:59why did you abandon her like trash on the streets of Piccadilly?
12:10Read out the verdict.
12:12By Her Majesty's Royal Decree, judgment is passed on the Hamilton scandal case as follows.
12:16Felix Ashburn is disinherited from all Hamilton succession rights,
12:19confined permanently to the family's country estate,
12:21and banned from London and all royal jurisdictions in perpetuity.
12:26Cecily Thorne shall forfeit her family name and all noble privileges
12:29placed under royal restraining order to live alongside Felix in lifelong rural confinement.
12:33Neither may leave the estate without dual approval from the Crown and Scotland Yard.
12:36I will not be trapped with this useless man!
12:39Let me go! I'd rather die!
12:43Are you satisfied?
12:44You ruined your sister and dragged our centuries-old family honor into filth!
12:48My lord, empty reputation cannot prop up a decaying household.
12:51If you truly valued your dignity,
12:53you would never have allowed a greedy, illegitimate daughter to poison me under your own roof.
12:57You are a cold-blooded monster!
12:59Thank you for the compliment.
13:00In Dog Eat Dog London, monsters outlived the dead.
13:03The false affection of my blood family was torn to pieces in my past life.
13:06I need no weak and selfish father.
13:08From today onward, I walk only by my own strength.
13:11The Hamilton household hid far more than a fallen insignia.
13:15These ledgers were smuggled out by a distant clan member to bypass noble privilege protection.
13:19For ten years, they've systematically embezzled funds,
13:22withheld servants' wages and erected tenants without compensation,
13:25rotten to the core.
13:27There is far more.
13:28Look at these private correspondents between the Marquis and colonial trading firms.
13:32In the eyes of the Queen's Legal Council,
13:34these financial arrangements amount to treasonous incibitation.
13:37Exactly. What will you do with them?
13:39This is the ultimate weapon to ruin their house entirely.
13:42I leave them to you.
13:43Using the Queen's Preliminary Temporary Inspection Warrant,
13:46submit all evidence directly to the Royal and Parliamentary Inspection Committee
13:49in Scotland Yard's official name.
13:50It is time to strip their ancestral privileges from the Empire's register.
13:53It will be my pleasure.
14:16Miss, this letter is posted from Thorn Manor. It is written by the Earl.
14:21They squandered and overdraft the manor's funds,
14:23and now that they're strapped for cash,
14:25they suddenly remember they have a daughter like me?
14:28Lila, all future deliveries coming from Thorn Manor shall be burnt directly.
14:33No need to bring them to me ever again.
14:35As you wish, miss.
14:37Two years have passed, and the ashes of the past have settled.
14:40It's time to step into a more splendid yet deadly battlefield ahead.
14:44The French Engvort, core guest of tonight's state dinner,
14:48has been relegated to seat seat for impoverished Barazans and minor peripheral lords.
14:52This is a ducted spare copy swapped in secret.
14:55A clumsy, vicious ploy.
14:57She aims to ruin me with noble underhanded trick.
15:02Lila, instruct servants to set nameplates strictly per this list.
15:06No single alteration permitted.
15:08As you command, miss.
15:16Is it Valenci, Monsieur de la Roche, envoy of France, arriving?
15:24Is this how the British Empire treats France?
15:26An unforgivable national insult!
15:33A la France, à votre excellence.
15:35Permettez-moi d'expliquer cette place spécialement réservée pour vous.
15:40Spéciale?
15:40Est-ce une humiliation délibérée de me réléger au fond de la salle,
15:43la marque du mécrit britannique?
15:47Nous apprendons que la flotte française a conclu une victoire diplomatique décrissive
15:51sur le canal de Souhaixière.
15:53Les places aux deux tables suivent les conventions banales de la...
15:55Depuis ce poste, vous embrassez d'un seul gars tout le banquet
15:58et derrière vous s'étendent les étoiles et les routes marignales du monde.
16:01Ceci, je symbolise la France.
16:03Tim honneur inconcourgeable des nouvelles routes européennes.
16:05Nous ne jugeons pas les honneurs par la hauteur des chaises.
16:08L'Empire britannique vous honneure d'une place unique de tim honneur.
16:12Magnifique raisonnement, Mademoiselle Fearn.
16:14Votre esprit et votre grâce surpassent toutes les roses de Paris
16:16à nos futurs accords commerciaux.
16:18Santé!
16:23A masterful interpretation of the helmsman's seat.
16:26Even the shrewiest diplomats would applaud your wit.
16:29Your Highness flatters me.
16:30It was merely a desperate improvisation to save myself from ruin.
16:34You were never merely surviving, Isolat.
16:36You relish outmaneuvering them,
16:37turning those conceded norbles into ut-you fools.
16:43Duke Cavendry will submit an official impeachment
16:45and against you to Her Majesty first thing tomorrow morning.
16:49Your Majesty,
16:50the Thorn household is tainted by scandal.
16:53This disgraced noble's daughter fooled foreign envoys
16:55with cunning sufferer at the state dinner,
16:56overstepping her official bounds.
16:58A scheming woman like her, staying beside Your Majesty,
17:01will bring ruin to the British Empire.
17:03After discussion with cabinet ministers,
17:05Princess of Denmark is the ideal bride for the Prince of Wales.
17:08To safeguard royal dignity,
17:10we beg Your Majesty to dismiss Isoleth from court at once.
17:15The Duke claims you are crafty and balicious, Miss Thorn.
17:18The Empire needs no useless blank paper,
17:21yet neither will it keep a dull blade that cuts its own master.
17:24Prove you deserve your place here.
17:29As you command, Your Majesty.
17:33My foes have risen from petty lobel girls
17:35to powerful cabinet dukes.
17:37This is an all-or-nothing power struggle.
17:39Layla, leave via the secret side exit.
17:41Contact Inspector Arthur Roo immediately.
17:43Use my royal inspection warrant to access confidential official archives.
17:46The Duke has overseen Army and Navy funding appropriations for 12 years.
17:48I need every file recording abnormal fund flows under his name.
17:51Understood, Miss.
17:58Miss, Inspector Rowe retrieved all confidential records
18:01per your royal warrant.
18:02Everything you requested is inside.
18:04Tens of thousands of pounds in unexplained gaps.
18:07So they are the real parasites straining the royal treasury.
18:10Shall we submit these documents directly to Her Majesty?
18:13Simply handing evidence to the Queen would only make me a common informer.
18:16What Her Majesty values is not blind loyalty, but capable political tactics.
18:21To top a towering noble, never hack its tranq.
18:24Poison its hidden roots instead.
18:26Simply handing evidence to the Queen would only make me a common informer.
18:29What Her Majesty values is not blind loyalty, but capable political tactics.
18:33To top a towering noble, never hack its tranq.
18:36Poison its hidden roots instead.
18:41Your tea party is elegant, Miss Thorne.
18:44Yet cabinet affairs keep us occupied.
18:45We can only stay a short while.
18:47Naturally, my Lord Billet.
18:49The lumber procurement for HMS Royal Arkett Porchmas Dockcard surely demands all your attention.
18:53Royal Navy business is far beyond a lady-in-waiting's concern.
18:56I know nothing of shipbuilding, but I can count.
18:59All proof is laid right here.
19:00£15,000 worth of premium and antique through a private dock at Southampton,
19:04yet officially recorded as low-grade Scottish plime value at merely £3,000.
19:07One wonders where the missing £12,000 vanished.
19:10Perhaps carried on coastal winds into the Duke Cavendale's newly built West End townhouse.
19:15And you, Lord Earl.
19:16£30,000 allocated for winter uniforms for troops stationed in the crime-off
19:20bore the signature of your wife's nephew last fiscal year.
19:23I've heard countless soldiers perished from bitter cold at the front.
19:25Does the Parisian man and your nephew purchase stay warm enough through harsh winters?
19:29You, you slander me outright!
19:32Whether it is slander or truth is fully documented within Scotland Yard's classified archives
19:36with verified excerpts in my possession.
19:38Her Majesty tossed that impeachment writ to me,
19:40a clear sign she has entrusted me the authority to root out treasury in Mesela's.
19:44With complete evidence in hand,
19:46I may submit the case to Parliamentary Inspection Committee any time.
19:49Duke Cavalish may deliver impash speeches before the throne,
19:52Yet you three will bear all punishment when judicial judgment falls.
19:57The tea has gone cold, gentlemen.
19:58You may take your leave.
19:59I happen to have a poor memory.
20:01Should several names vanish from that impeachment menu by tomorrow morning,
20:04all these tedious financial figures may slip entirely from my mind.
20:09Cowardly constructs!
20:10All of you useless fools!
20:13If legal means cannot drive her from court,
20:15erase her from this world entirely.
20:17Eliminate any backer shielding her as well.
20:20The audit investigation must never reach my household.
20:24Reborn from the brink of death,
20:25I've grown sensitive to the stench of mortal danger.
20:28This seemingly impenetrable royal hunt is shrouded in uncary oddities.
20:31These hands do not belong to stable attendants.
20:34They are fugitives who fight in underground rings and carry blades for blood money.
20:37The girth and stulla will snap the moment the stallion sprints into the thick woods.
20:41A suicidal ploy.
20:42Caunted by irreputable corruption evidence,
20:44Duke Cavalish would kill the prince to reshape the whole power structure.
20:46Drop your silk handkerchief,
20:47then slip away to find Inspector Roho on perimeter guard.
20:49Tell him mad dogs lurk in the net.
20:50Seal all exits without waiting for higher approval.
20:53Oh dear, the wind is really strong.
20:55I'm going to fetch my cloak.
20:58Once this hunt ends,
20:59I shall present you something vital,
21:01tied to both my royal future and yours.
21:04Your Highness, your state is ready.
21:14Protect his royal highness!
21:15Seize him!
21:16Inspect the horse harness at once!
21:21Scotland Yard!
21:23All suspects under arrest!
21:31Miss Thorne, are you unharmed?
21:33I'm quite well, Inspector.
21:35Search their persons for evidence to present to Her Majesty.
21:42Exclusive stag decree of the Cavendish family.
21:50What explanation have you left, Duke?
21:53Miss Thorne!
21:54You bear grudges against my daughter, Evelyn,
21:56yet you dare frame a hereditary perv for capital crimes over a random trinket!
21:59A random trinket?
22:01What if we had this?
22:03Your Majesty,
22:04these are full embezzlement accounts of the Cavendish family over five years,
22:08with his signed vouchers attached,
22:09already submitted to Parliament Inspection Committee.
22:11Assassination treasury for be tried in the House of Law's peer court.
22:14Confiscate implicated firds and illicit assets.
22:17Strip his noble title.
22:18Confine the chief cop to royal manor for lifelong detention.
22:24All of you, leave us.
22:33This ring is my private collection,
22:36fully filed and registered in royal jewellery archives,
22:39kept in storage for far too long.
22:41To sustain the Empire's glory, we need no innocent lambs.
22:45We require a shrewd, resolute strategist who uncovers hypocrisy
22:49and brings assassins and corrupt nobles to justice amid peril.
22:55Isled,
22:56you have not only saved my life but also stolen my whole heart.
23:00Marry me and become the future mister of this Empire.
23:06As you wish, your highness.
23:08Very well.
23:10Starting tomorrow,
23:11the whole Empire shall prepare for this unprecedented royal wedding.
23:18Miss,
23:18all transfer procedures for half revenue of Thorn Manor
23:21based on the old contract have been finished.
23:24File it for archiving.
23:25Understood, miss.
23:29The game is over.
23:34Do you swear to remain faithful to one another
23:37in sickness and in health till death do you part?
23:40I do.
23:41I do.
23:47Her Majesty Queen Victoria arrives.
23:51You have done excellently.
23:53You've fulfilled the true purpose of the Royal Selection.
23:56The Empire needs steady hands to secure order
