Short filmTranscript
00:01My daughter, your father and your six brothers have all fallen in this war.
00:08All I ask is that when this battle is over, you bury your war honors and live as a proper
00:14young lady ought to live.
00:16We can't hold the line much longer!
00:18Mother, if I make it home alive, then I give you my word.
00:24I will marry well.
00:32Sophie, when I come back, I will give you the grandest wedding anyone's ever seen.
00:37Until then, you take good care of yourself.
00:46Alright.
00:48I'll bring your mother to Sutton Estate and care for her in your place.
00:53And then I'll wait for you to come home.
01:08Evelyn and I were married at the front.
01:12Still, if you wished, I could arrange a place for you in my household.
01:16You said when you came back, you'd give me a grand wedding.
01:22When I proposed to you, it was because I thought you were a suitable match.
01:26But now, in my heart, Evelyn is the woman I truly love.
01:34Is that so, Evelyn?
01:38I want to meet her.
01:44That's the war hero from the papers, isn't it?
01:46That's her, Lord.
01:48She's so cool.
01:52Mother.
01:55Allow me to introduce her.
01:56This is Evelyn, my wife, whom I married while serving in the army.
02:00So, this is a true war hero.
02:02The bearing, the presence.
02:08Any fool can see she's no ordinary woman.
02:17Sophie!
02:18Good, you're here.
02:19Meet Evelyn properly.
02:24From now on, you'll be the one taking care of her and Nathan.
02:28Look after them?
02:29Miss Sophie has bent over backward for the Blake family all year.
02:33All for nothing.
02:36You want me to take care of...
02:37them?
02:38Of course.
02:41Nathan and I both have duties to the army.
02:43We may be called back to the front at any moment.
02:45But you?
02:47You've spent your life away from the front.
02:49You don't understand what it takes out there.
02:51Aside from managing a household, what role do you think you can play?
02:56Do not forget this.
02:58I am a general's daughter.
03:02My father and my six brothers all died on the battlefield as well.
03:05That was your father and your brothers, not you.
03:09You just tend to the household.
03:11And when Evelyn and I have children, you'll take care of them too.
03:17I am to raise your children?
03:19If you want a child too, I can give you one.
03:23But after that, I will never touch you again.
03:26And you agree to this?
03:28I'm not a petty woman.
03:31I can allow you to have a child.
03:33That way, you'll at least have something to hold on to in the future.
03:40As for whether Nathan will still want your bed after that, that is hardly my concern.
03:46After that, I won't be going to her bed again.
03:48You're the only one in my heart.
03:49And you agree as well?
03:51You can keep the house, raise the child, and free the two of them from every worry.
03:56It's a fine arrangement.
04:01Is that so?
04:03The longer I listen to the three of you, the more it sounds like, in your version of things,
04:08I am the outsider here.
04:11In that case, Nathan and I should simply end the engagement.
04:17Why drag this into something so ugly?
04:20Sophie, don't be foolish.
04:22You're the only one left in your family now.
04:23With an estate this large and this much land, do you truly think a woman alone can hold it?
04:28That's right, Sophie.
04:29If this is what troubles you, on certain occasions, I can even tell people you're my wife.
04:34And if it truly means that much to you, I can even give you a small wedding.
04:42This is outrageous.
04:43For the past year, my lady treated your mother like royalty.
04:47She even paid for a private doctor to tend to your mother day after day.
04:52And now you want to get the Sutton estate and everything that comes with it?
04:57You're a servant.
04:58How dare you stand there and run your mouth like that?
05:03Mary is mine.
05:04No one lays a hand on my people.
05:06Sophie, you're nothing but an orphan now.
05:09You can protect no one.
05:10If you truly dare to break off your engagement to Nathan,
05:13this whole town will laugh you into the ground.
05:15You still won't be able to hold on to the Sutton estate.
05:17Is that so?
05:18Then stand there and watch whether I keep it or not.
05:21Steward.
05:25Miss.
05:26Add up everything Mrs. Blake's at Sutton estate this past year, every last penny.
05:29What?
05:32Yes, miss.
05:33Finest tea, imported sweet wine, custom gowns, jewelry repairs, daily meals, coal for the winter farth,
05:40as well as the family doctor's fees for the full year, medicine costs, and nursing expenses.
05:44Grand total?
05:47$23,000.
05:52You dare ask me to pay you?
05:55Sophie, don't push this too far.
05:58Steward, show them out.
06:01How dare you?
06:14How dare Sophie do this to me?
06:16Enough.
06:18The Blakes are an old family too.
06:20We do not need the Suttons to keep us afloat.
06:22We can manage just fine on our own.
06:25Let's go home.
06:41It's fine.
06:42No one's lived here for the past year.
06:44That's all this is.
06:51That's all this is.
07:00It's fine.
07:01Tomorrow, I'll speak to the Pioneer.
07:03Sophie abused a war hero.
07:05It's mother too.
07:06And then she demanded a fortune from us.
07:08The whole town ought to hear about that.
07:09I will make her pay back every last thing she owes the Blake family.
07:23How can they twist the truth like that?
07:32There she is!
07:33That's her!
07:34The woman who abused a war hero!
07:36Give Mrs. Blake her money back!
07:41What are you talking about?
07:43That's not what happened!
07:46Wicked woman!
07:47Give the hero's family their money back!
07:55Open the gate!
07:58Get out here!
08:10Stand down!
08:15Isn't that General Lucas?
08:18The one who led the cavalry through three enemy fire lines at Wilton?
08:22I heard he's covered in honors.
08:25Even the district commander thinks highly of him.
08:27Seven members of the Sutton family died on the battlefield.
08:32A father.
08:33Six sons.
08:34That family has already given everything to this war.
08:37And what are you doing now, if not bullying a hero's family?
08:41Now leave.
08:43This instant.
08:46Or I'll have the sheriff deal with a lot of you.
08:48Oh!
08:50Oh!
08:50Oh!
08:51Oh!
08:52Oh!
08:53Oh!
08:54Oh!
08:57Oh!
08:58Oh!
08:58Oh!
08:58Oh!
09:00Oh!
09:02Oh!
09:04Oh!
09:13That day she was ordered to ride to the eastern line with reinforcements.
09:17But by the time she got there, the men holding that position were already dead.
09:22Fill the gap!
09:24Oh!
09:26Oh!
09:28Oh!
09:29Oh!
09:29Oh!
09:30Oh!
09:31Oh!
09:32Oh!
09:32Oh!
09:34Oh!
09:34Oh!
09:35Oh!
09:36Oh!
09:43What the hell is going on? Weren't they nearly wiped out?
09:48There's still someone on the right!
09:50Weren't we told this is all that was left of them?
09:57Dear God, one of the reinforcements coming.
10:01I can't hold much longer.
10:24They're holding that line hard.
10:26There must still be plenty of men up there.
10:30Move!
10:41I see her! It's just one person! Shoot her down!
10:55She held that breach alone, and by sheer will she held the entire eastern line.
11:04He saved me that day.
11:07Ma'am, I have come to ask for Sophie's hand.
11:11I will protect her for the rest of my life.
11:13She will never have to carry everything and everything alone again.
11:19General Lucas, I already gave my word to the Blake family.
11:23Once the Suttons make a promise, we do not break it.
11:28From that day on, I decided I would never marry.
11:33But I still couldn't help myself.
11:35I had to come see how she was living.
11:38I never thought I'd find her being treated like this.
11:49Miss Sophie, I did not come here to pity you.
11:55I came to honor you.
11:57To thank the Sutton family for all it gave to this country.
12:01And to thank you for holding that eastern line all by yourself.
12:11I want to help you.
12:13And how do you mean to help me?
12:21Sophia Sutton?
12:23Edward Sutton's daughter?
12:24Yes, sir.
12:26That family's given everything for the cause.
12:29How is she faring now?
12:30Her fiancé, Nathan, married Evelyn at the front.
12:34And now, they're asking Sophie to become Nathan's mistress.
12:38That is completely unacceptable!
12:42Nathan's behavior may be dishonorable, but Evelyn is our new war hero.
12:46I cannot tear apart a hero's marriage.
12:49But...
12:53The one who held the eastern line by herself, that was her?
12:59Yes, sir.
13:01Why in God's name am I only hearing of this now?
13:04After that battle,
13:05a foray high in Jusper,
13:07her mother wanted it kept secret that she'd ever gone to war.
13:10So she could marry and live a peaceful life.
13:15So the truth was kept secret.
13:21I want to see her.
13:26Sir.
13:27The soldier in that report
13:29was holding the breach under artillery fire
13:32with not another soul beside you.
13:36And to think it was
13:37a woman who looked so slim.
13:40On the battlefield,
13:41bullets do not turn aside just because I'm a woman, sir.
13:45You are an extraordinary woman, Miss Sutton.
13:49But I must speak plainly.
13:52Evelyn is the most
13:54celebrated war hero
13:56in the entire republic right now.
14:00Evelyn is the most
14:02celebrated war hero
14:03in the entire republic right now.
14:09I cannot step in on your behalf
14:11and be the man who tears apart her marriage.
14:14I have no interest
14:16in tearing apart their marriage.
14:17I do not love Nathan Blake.
14:21I came here for one thing only.
14:24I want you
14:25to stand behind the truth
14:27that my engagement to Nathan Blaine
14:28should have been ended from the start.
14:31I want you to know
14:33and I want the whole town to know
14:34the one who broke faith was not me.
14:37And what else?
14:39I want back in the army.
14:41To speak plainly,
14:42I am surprised
14:44and glad.
14:46A woman like you
14:47was never meant to be buried
14:48and forgotten.
14:51But seven members
14:52of the Sutton family
14:53have already died in this war.
14:58I do not have the heart
14:59to send you back to the front.
15:04The fighting in the south
15:05is growing worse
15:06and Blackstone Valley
15:07could be pulled into it
15:08again at any moment.
15:10I only want to do my part.
15:14I only want to do my part.
15:16Very well.
15:18Place her under your command.
15:20And remember,
15:21you must bring her back alive.
15:24Yes, sir.
15:32It's all right.
15:33I've got you.
15:35She actually dared to come back?
15:37Wasn't it all in the paper?
15:38She threw Mrs. Blake
15:39right out of the estate.
15:42She is no proper lady at all.
15:44I took care of her
15:45for a whole year
15:45and now she has the nerve
15:47to ask me for money.
15:52Miss Sutton,
15:53is it true you drove
15:54Mrs. Blake out of the estate?
15:56Did you truly demand
15:56a large sum of money
15:57from the Blake family?
15:58Were you taking revenge
15:59because your engagement
16:00was broken?
16:01Enough.
16:07Miss Sophia Sutton
16:09asked me to share
16:09these with everyone.
16:11They may help clear up
16:12a few misunderstandings
16:13about her engagement
16:14to Nathan Blaine.
16:18That engagement
16:19is hereby declared
16:20null and void.
16:22on account of Mr. Blake
16:24first breaking his promise
16:25and entering
16:25into another marriage.
16:27Miss Sutton
16:28never broke her word
16:29nor did she commit
16:30any so-called ingratitude
16:31or cruel expulsion.
16:34This bears the general's
16:36own signature and seal.
16:40That's impossible.
16:41There is one more thing
16:43the whole town
16:43ought to know.
16:45For the past year,
16:47Mrs. Blake has been living
16:48at Sutton Estate.
16:48her food,
16:50her clothes,
16:51her doctor,
16:51her medicine,
16:52her daily expenses,
16:53even her luxuries
16:54were all paid for
16:55by Miss Sutton.
16:56Then the ungrateful ones
16:57are...
16:58the Blake family's
17:00got some mighty thick skin.
17:02You think one piece of paper
17:03can clear her name?
17:04At the very least,
17:05it proves she was not
17:07the one who broke faith.
17:13Let's go back.
17:17Sophie actually dared
17:19to humiliate me
17:19in public today.
17:25This place feels suffocating.
17:29Then you never should have
17:30left Sutton Estate
17:31in the first place.
17:34How dare you speak
17:36to me that way?
17:36If it hadn't been for you...
17:38Enough.
17:39We still have a wedding
17:40to prepare for.
17:42Of course.
17:46I think we should
17:47invite Sophie.
17:48Have you lost your mind?
17:50Why would you do that?
17:51I want her to see it
17:52with her own eyes.
17:58Everything she's lost.
18:06Okay.
18:08She really had to
18:09make a show of it.
18:11She even sent the invitation
18:12all the way to the state
18:13so now Miss Sophie
18:14has to go.
18:17We did know each other once.
18:19I should go congratulate them.
18:27I now pronounce you
18:28husband and wife.
18:41Miss, why is everyone leaving?
18:43My congratulations, Mrs. Blake.
18:49Now that the ceremony is over,
18:51we'll be taking our leave.
18:53Leaving so soon?
18:54The reception has only just begun.
19:04This sort of setting
19:05does not quite suit
19:06a lady of my standing.
19:15This is the wedding
19:16you gave me?
19:18The ceremony wasn't even over
19:20before half the guests
19:21walked out.
19:24You humiliated me
19:25in front of everyone!
19:27I sold the last few pieces
19:28of land we had left
19:29just to pay for this wedding.
19:30If you ask me,
19:31it was those low-class people
19:32you invited
19:33who scared off
19:33the respectable guests.
19:35Low-class?
19:35Are you calling my people
19:37low-class?
19:39You two, stop already!
19:49Miss Sophie!
19:51How lovely of you
19:52to come to Nathan's wedding
19:53and mine.
19:54Mary.
20:04You even know
20:05how to send
20:05your former fiancé
20:06a proper wedding gift.
20:08Just like your father.
20:10Even in the Black Creek fire,
20:12he still wore
20:12his uniform neat as ever.
20:16How would she know
20:18details like that
20:19about my father
20:19at Black Creek?
20:20The gift has been delivered.
20:22I should be going now.
20:26For a house lady
20:28like you,
20:28Miss Sophia,
20:29this must be
20:29your first military wedding.
20:33Why not stay
20:34a while longer?
20:35It might be
20:36interesting.
20:42My father died
20:43in the Battle
20:43of Black Creek.
20:45And in that fire,
20:46how would Evelyn
20:47know details
20:47that were never
20:48made public?
20:49Mary.
20:51Go find my teacher,
20:52General Howard.
20:52I want the truth
20:53about what happened
20:53at Black Creek.
20:54Yes, Miss?
21:00Miss Sophie,
21:01since you're here,
21:02open your eyes
21:03and watch closely.
21:04This is how a gun
21:05is truly handled.
21:26Why is it jammed?
21:30You didn't even
21:31set the hammer
21:31to half cap.
21:32Load it like that
21:33and of course
21:33it'll go wrong.
21:34And what would
21:35you know about it?
21:36Let's go.
21:36Let's go.
22:05Bullseye.
22:08Bullseye.
22:09Isn't she supposed to be some society lady?
22:11Sophia?
22:12How do you even-
22:14And one more thing, you cap it last.
22:17If the ball isn't seated all the way, the gun can blow.
22:20If you'd fumbled it any worse just now, the one dead would have been you.
22:37The front is in crisis.
22:42Orders from the front have come in.
22:44All soldiers on leave, report back at once.
22:48At last, I have a chance to prove myself again.
22:52If this goes well for you and Evelyn, things might finally turn around for our family.
23:00Colonel Sutton, prepare to move out at once.
23:06Colonel Sutton, prepare to move out at once.
23:13What did you just say?
23:15Why aren't Nathan and I the ones going?
23:17The Major General has granted you newlyweds leave.
23:21Until further notice, you are to remain behind.
23:24Leave.
23:25That's one way to say they're staying clear of the front.
23:27Sounds more like being set aside.
23:31Then what exactly is Sophie supposed to be?
23:33Why did you call her, Colonel?
23:37Miss Sophie Sutton has been formally commissioned by the Major General of the 7th Military District, effective today.
23:43She holds the rank of Colonel.
23:46That's impossible!
23:47What could possibly qualify her for a rank like that?
23:51Because at Wilton, during the main assault, she was the first to jump into the enemy trench.
23:55She took out multiple forward gun positions and tore open a breach for the main force.
23:59Because before Black Creek fell,
24:02she got 37 civilians and wounded men across the north bridge and out of the line of fire alive.
24:11And because at the eastern narrow pass, she held the whole line by herself and kept the enemy pinned down
24:16until reinforcements arrived.
24:20Is that enough for you?
24:26Sophie!
24:29I don't know when you learned to shoot, but riding is no game.
24:32If you can't ride...
24:49Sophie!
24:57Are you hurt?
24:58Are you hurt?
25:05Come on. We're riding for the front.
25:17What are you doing?!
25:19What is it? Are you reconsidering things now?
25:24what is it are you reconsidering things now what gives you the right to lay a hand on him
25:34that's enough don't push this any further
25:38what did the Blake family ever do to deserve bringing a woman like you into this house
25:55Miss General Howard uncovered the truth about what happened at Black Creek
26:02Black Creek came under heavy assault because Julian Vale the badly wounded son of General
26:07Gideon Vale one of the enemy nation's most feared commanders had been captured and was
26:12being held at the field hospital in Black Creek
26:18Julian had been stable but after night watch the wrong medicine was given to him
26:26the wrong medicine was given to him he went into violent convulsions stopped breathing and died
26:31soon after the nurse assigned to Julian was Evelyn this is a statement from a trainee nurse she passed
26:38Julian's room and saw Evelyn panic right after he died then Evelyn tried to burn the medical chart
26:42the medicine log and the handover records to destroy the evidence but the wind was too strong
26:46that night and Black Creek was full of wooden buildings the fire got out of control in no time
26:52what about my father your father General Edward Sutton had been ordered to evacuate the civilians
26:58and wounded from Black Creek when the fire broke out he did not leave he led men back in to
27:05save
27:05people and kept organizing evacuations through the flames but then the enemy attacked your father
27:10my father had no choice but to fight he was badly outnumbered and he fell
27:15so my father died because of Evelyn
27:19not just your father your six brothers died because of her too
27:27go on
27:29the specifics we still need to investigate further
27:36keep investigating I need to know what exactly does she have to do with the deaths of my six brothers
27:42yes
27:45General Lucas the frontline military orders have arrived
27:48Evelyn and I request to lead the Iron Cavalage into battle immediately
27:51our wedding leave is over as heroes it is only right that we fight for our country
27:56besides we can't let some newly commissioned woman get all the battlefield glory can we
28:00the major general of the seventh military district just signed as of today
28:04the Iron Cavalry is under the full command of Colonel Sophie Sutton
