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

22:38fully filed and registered in royal jewellery archives,
22:41kept in storage for far too long.
22:44To sustain the Empire's glory,
22:46we need no innocent lambs.

22:50who uncovers hypocrisy
22:52and brings assassins and corrupt nobles
22:54to justice amid peril.
