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.
00:46All right.
00:48I'll bring your mother to Sutton Estate and care for her in your place.
00:52And 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, all for nothing.
02:36You want me to take care of them?
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, but 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.
02:57I 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 do 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.
03:50And 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, I
04:08am 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.
04:21You're the only one left in your family now.
04:24With 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.
04:41This 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, this 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.
05:36Custom gowns, jewelry repairs, daily meals, coal for the winter farth, as well as the family doctor's fees for the
05:42full year, medicine costs, and nursing expenses.
05:44Grand total?
05:47$23,000.
05:52You dare ask me to pay you?
05:56Sophie, don't push this too far.
05:58Steward, show them out.
06:01How dare you?
06:07How dare you?
06:14How dare Sophie do this to me?
06:16Enough.
06:18The Blakes are an old family too.
06:19We do not need the Suttons to keep us afloat.
06:21We 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.
06:48Truth is,
06:49The family money's mostly gone.
06:51It was spent long ago.
07:00It's fine.
07:01Tomorrow,
07:02I'll speak to the Pioneer.
07:03Sophie abused a war hero.
07:05It's a mother too.
07:06And then she demanded a fortune from us.
07:07The whole town ought to hear about that.
07:09I will make her pay back every last thing she owes the Blake family.
07:20Miss!
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!
08:00Get 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,
08:38if 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.
09:13That day, she was ordered to ride to the eastern line with reinforcements.
09:16But by the time she got there,
09:19the men holding that position were already dead.
09:22Fill the gas!
09:43What the hell is going on?
09:45Weren'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?
09:53I don't know.
09:57Dear God.
09:59When are the reinforcements coming?
10:00I 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
10:42It's just one person
10:43Shoot her down
10:54She held that breach alone
10:56And by sheer will
10:57She 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 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
11:50I 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
12:09Thank you
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
12:28How is she faring now?
12:30Her fiancé, Nathan
12:31Married Evelyn at the front
12:34And now
12:35They're asking Sophie to become Nathan's mistress
12:37That is completely unacceptable
12:42Nathan's behavior may be dishonorable
12:44But 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
12:55That 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 Jaspel
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
13:25Sir
13:27The soldier in that report
13:29Was holding the breach under artillery fire
13:32With not another soul beside her
13:36And to think it was
13:37A woman who looked so slim
13:40On the battlefield bullets do not turn aside
13:42Just 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 celebrated war hero
13:56In the entire republic right now
14:00Evelyn is the most celebrated 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 in 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, I am surprised
14:44And glad
14:46A woman like you was never meant to be buried and forgotten
14:51But seven members of the Sutton family
14:53Have already died in this war
14:58I do not have the heart to send you back to the front
15:04The fighting in the south is growing worse
15:06And Blackstone Valley could be pulled into it again 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 alright
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 right out of the estate
15:41She is no proper lady at all
15:43I took care of her for a whole year
15:45And now she has the nerve to ask me for money
15:52Miss Sutton
15:53Is it true you drove Mrs. Blake out of the estate?
15:56Did you truly demand a large sum of money from the Blake family?
15:58Were you taking revenge because your engagement was broken?
16:01Enough
16:07Miss Sophia Sutton asked me to share these with everyone
16:11They may help clear up a few misunderstandings about her engagement to Nathan Blaine
16:17That engagement is hereby declared null and void
16:22On account of Mr. Blake first breaking his promise and entering into another marriage
16:26Miss Sutton never broke her word
16:29Nor did she commit any so-called ingratitude or cruel expulsion
16:34This bears the general's own signature and seal
16:40That's impossible
16:41There is one more thing the whole town ought to know
16:45For the past year
16:46Mrs. Blake has been living at Sutton Estate
16:48Her food, her clothes, her doctor, her medicine, her daily expenses, even her luxuries
16:54Were all paid for by Miss Sutton
16:56Then the ungrateful ones are
16:58The Blake family's got some mighty thick skin
17:02You think one piece of paper can clear her name?
17:04At the very least it proves she was not the one who broke fate
17:13Let's go back
17:17Sophie actually dared to humiliate me in public today
17:25This place feels suffocating
17:29Then you never should have left Sutton Estate in the first place
17:34How dare you speak to me that way?
17:36If it hadn't been for you
17:38Enough
17:39We still have a wedding to prepare for
17:42Of course
17:46I think we should invite Sophie
17:48Have you lost your mind?
17:50Why would you do that?
17:51I want her to see it with her own eyes
17:58Everything she's lost
18:06Okay
18:08She really had to make a show of it
18:11She even sent the invitation all the way to the state
18:13So now Miss Sophie has to go
18:17We did know each other once
18:18I should go congratulate them
18:26I now pronounce you husband and wife
18:41Miss why is everyone leaving?
18:44My congratulations Mrs. Blake
18:46Thank you
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 does not quite suit a lady of my standing
19:15This is the wedding you gave me?
19:18The ceremony wasn't even over before half the guests walked out
19:24You humiliated me in front of everyone
19:27I sold the last few pieces of land we had left just to pay for this wedding
19:30If you ask me
19:31It was those low-class people you invited
19:33Who scared off the respectable guests
19:34Low-class?
19:36Are you calling my people low-class?
19:39You two stop already
19:49Miss Sophie
19:51How lovely of you to come to Nathan's wedding and mine
19:55Mary
20:04You even know how to send your former fiancé a proper wedding gift
20:08Just like your father
20:10Even in the Black Creek fire he still wore his uniform neat as ever
20:16How would she know details like that about my father at Black Creek?
20:20The gift has been delivered
20:22I should be going now
20:26For a house lady like you Miss Sophia
20:29This must be your first military wedding
20:33Why not stay a while longer?
20:35It might be interesting
20:42My father died in the Battle of Black Creek
20:45And in that fire
20:46How would Evelyn know details that were never made public?
20:49Mary
20:51Go find my teacher, General Howard
20:52I want the truth about what happened at Black Creek
20:54Yes, Miss
21:00Miss Sophie
21:01Since you're here
21:02Open your eyes and watch closely
21:04This is how a gun is truly handled
21:26Why is it jammed?
21:30You didn't even set the hammer to half cap
21:32Load it like that and of course it'll go wrong
21:34And what would you know about it?
21:38What would you know about it?
22:06Bullseye
22:09Isn't she supposed to be some society lady?
22:11Sophia
22:12How do you even
22:14And one more thing
22:15You cap it last
22:17If the ball isn't seated all the way
22:19The gun can blow
22:20If you'd fumbled it any worse just now
22:22The 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
22:45Report back at once
22:48At last
22:49I have a chance to prove myself again
22:52If this goes well for you and Evelyn
22:54Things might finally turn around for our family
23:00Colonel Sutton
23:02Prepare to move out at once
23:05Colonel Sutton
23:06Prepare 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
23:19Has granted you newlyweds leave
23:21Until further notice
23:22You 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
23:34Colonel?
23:36Miss Sophie Sutton has been formally commissioned
23:39By the Major General of the 7th Military District
23:41Effective today
23:43She holds the rank of Colonel
23:46That's impossible
23:47What could possibly qualify her for a rank like that?
23:50Because at Wilton
23:52During the main assault
23:53She was the first to jump into the enemy trench
23:55She took out multiple forward gun positions
23:57And tore open a breach for the main force
23:59Because before Black Creek fell
24:02She got 37 civilians and wounded men
24:04Across the north bridge
24:06And out of the line of fire alive
24:11And because at the eastern narrow pass
24:13She held the whole line by herself
24:15And kept the enemy pinned down
24:16Until reinforcements arrived
24:20Is that enough for you?
24:26Sophie!
24:29I don't know when you learn to shoot
24:30But riding is no game
24:31If you can't ride
24:33If you can't ride
24:49Sophie!
24:56Are you hurt?
25:05Come on
25:06We're riding for the front
25:17What are you doing?
25:19What is it?
25:20Are you reconsidering things now?
25:24What is it?
25:25Are you reconsidering things now?
25:29What gives you the right to lay a hand on him?
25:34That's enough
25:35Don't push this any further
25:38What did the Blake family ever do
25:40To deserve bringing a woman like you
25:43Into this house?
25:54Miss
25:55General Howard uncovered the truth
25:57About what happened
25:57At Black Creek
26:02Black Creek came under heavy assault
26:04Because Julian Vail
26:05The badly wounded son
26:06Of General Gideon Vail
26:07One of the enemy nation's
26:09Most feared commanders
26:10Had been captured
26:11And was being held
26:12At the field hospital
26:13In Black Creek
26:18Julian had been stable
26:20But after night watch
26:22The wrong medicine
26:22Was given to him
26:26The wrong medicine
26:27Was given to him
26:28He went into violent
26:29Convuctions
26:29Stopped breathing
26:30And died soon after
26:32The nurse assigned to Julian
26:34Was Evelyn
26:35This is a statement
26:36From a trainee nurse
26:37She passed Julian's room
26:38And saw Evelyn panic
26:39Right after he died
26:40Then Evelyn tried to burn
26:41The medical chart
26:42The medicine log
26:43And the handover records
26:43To destroy the evidence
26:45But the wind was too strong
26:46That night
26:46And Black Creek
26:47Was full of wooden buildings
26:48The fire got out of control
26:49In no time
26:52What about
26:53My father?
26:54Your father
26:55General Edward Sutton
26:56Had been ordered
26:56To evacuate the civilians
26:58And wounded from Black Creek
27:01When the fire broke out
27:02He did not leave
27:03He led men back in
27:04To save people
27:05And kept organizing
27:06Evacuations through the flames
27:08But then the enemy attacked
27:10Your father had no choice
27:11But to fight
27:12He was badly outnumbered
27:13And he fell
27:15So my father died
27:17Because of Evelyn?
27:19Not just your father
27:20Your six brothers died
27:21Because of her too
27:27Go on
27:29The specifics
27:30We still need to
27:30Investigate further
27:36Keep investigating
27:37I need to know
27:39What exactly
27:40Does she have to do
27:41With the deaths
27:41Of my six brothers
27:42Yes
27:45General Lucas
27:46The frontline military orders
27:48Have arrived
27:48Evelyn and I request
27:49To lead the Iron Cavalage
27:50Into battle immediately
27:51Our wedding leave is over
27:53As heroes
27:53It is only right
27:54That we fight
27:55For our country
27:56Besides
27:56We can't let
27:57Some newly commissioned woman
27:58Get all the battlefield glory
27:59Can we?
28:00The major general
28:00Of the 7th military district
28:02Just signed
28:03As of today
28:04The Iron Cavalry
28:05Is under the full command
28:07Of Colonel Sophie Sutton
28:08You two just need
28:09To provide support
28:10For port from the rear
28:11What?
28:12The Iron Cavalry
28:13Is the best in the republic
28:14And I led them
28:15To that hero title
28:16She's been sitting
28:17At home for a year
28:17What right does she
28:18Have to command me?
28:19General Sophie
28:20Colonel Sutton
28:21Hasn't set foot
28:21On a battlefield in years
28:22The Iron Cavalry
28:23Needs a commander
28:23With real experience
28:24Someone the troops
28:25Will follow
28:25Are you questioning
28:25My decision?
28:27I mean
28:29She's just trying
28:30To steal the credit
28:30Sophie doesn't care
28:31About the country
28:32She's getting back
28:33At me and Nathan
28:34Handing the Iron Cavalry
28:35Over to her
28:35That's playing
28:36With everyone's lives
28:37I'm trying to steal credit
28:38Of course
28:41Fine
28:43Since you think
28:43I'm not qualified
28:44I'll give you a chance
28:48Challenge me
28:57You think a housewife
28:58Like you can beat me
29:01General Lucas
29:02I request a challenge
29:04Against Sophie tomorrow
29:05Fine
29:06But if you lose
29:07You'll lose all credit
29:08For the southern front
29:09And hand over command
29:10Of all your current troops
29:12Clear
29:13What if she loses?
29:14If Sophie loses
29:15The Iron Cavalry
29:16Gets transferred
29:16Why she will only
29:17Lost his one regiment
29:18But if I lose
29:19I lose everything
29:20The challenger
29:21Is supposed to put up
29:22A bigger stake
29:23Not enough
29:23One more thing
29:24If you lose
29:25You hand over
29:26The Iron Cavalry
29:27And for the rest
29:28Of your life
29:28You will never
29:29Set foot on a battlefield
29:30Again
29:41I accept
29:42Evelyn
29:43Isn't this too risky?
29:49Ridiculous
29:49I won't lose
29:51To a worthless
29:51Like her
30:02Use this
30:08A wooden stick
30:08The general want her
30:09Die, does he?
30:10Evelyn's got a real sword
30:11How's she supposed to
30:12Fight with a wooden stick?
30:12Calm down, Sophie
30:14I've been holding back
30:15For way too long
30:16I'm going to make her pay
30:17Don't worry
30:18I'll get to the bottom
30:19Of everything
30:19Your whole family's deaths
30:20Oh
30:22Coming at me
30:22With a stick
30:24Sophie
30:26I know you've been
30:27Riding on your family's
30:28Dead war heroes
30:29To get glory
30:30But you'll never
30:31Be as good as me
30:32We're the ones
30:32Risking our necks
30:33On the front line
30:34Shedding blood
30:35Killing enemies
30:36And in the end
30:36All the credit
30:37Goes to some woman
30:38Who only got ahead
30:39Because of her family name
30:40Exactly what makes
30:41Her a colonel
30:41Just cause her dad's
30:42A general
30:43Evelyn beat her to a pump
30:46Shut up
30:46One more word
30:47You'll face
30:48Court-martial
30:51All because of you
30:53My father died
30:54In that fire
30:55At Black Creek
30:56And my six brothers
30:57There is no need
30:59Evelyn will beat you
31:05Step back
31:09Armed duel
31:10Whoever knocks
31:11The other off
31:11Their horse
31:12First wins
31:32Begin
31:32That strike from Sophie
31:34Was brutal
31:36Evelyn nearly got
31:37Knocked off her horse
31:48Again
31:48That wooden stick
31:49General Lucas
31:50Gave it to you
31:51Is it modified
31:52Or something
31:54Impossible
31:54I'm a cavalry soldier
31:56How can I get beaten
31:56Like this by some stick
31:58The stick
31:58It's gotta be modified
32:01Yeah unfair
32:02There must be something
32:03Wrong with that stick
32:04Yes
32:05That's not fair
32:06Look closely
32:14Again
32:15Don't get cocky
32:30Stop playing tricks
32:44Hmm
33:12I'll kill you
33:19I'll kill you
33:32I'll kill you
33:32Neil
33:40For a year
33:41Every single night
33:43I dream about that fire
33:59You
34:00You can't kill me
34:02I'm a hero
34:08You killed my whole family
34:10You deserve to die
34:11Sophie
34:18You lose
