06:07O'Donnell, Westside, Manhattan, New York.
06:10After all these years, you two must miss each other terribly, don't you?
06:26Please, send it as quickly as possible.
06:57You must be freezing, dear. Have a cup of tea to warm up.
07:00Thank you, I appreciate it.
07:03See that? Even in a backwater like this, there's a fine piece like her.
07:09She's like a soaked little cupcake.
07:17Hey, my beautiful little lady, are you alone? Where are you from, huh?
07:21Oi, old Tom, give this young lady some whiskey to ward off the cold.
07:24No, thank you. I don't drink.
07:38What's happening?
07:40Oh, sweetheart, you don't look well.
07:42Let me help you get some rest.
07:44Let me go.
07:55Take your hands off her.
07:59Sir, she's my sister.
08:02Say one more word, I'll shoot.
08:16Where do you live?
08:18Hastings Castle, please.
08:23Sir, your face is as cold as ice.
08:28Don't move. Sit still.
08:32Don't leave me alone.
08:34I hate the orphanage.
08:44Dammit, they drugged her.
08:59I can't do this.
09:01I'd be no better than those two creeps from just now.
09:18Oh, where is this?
09:20You said you live here.
09:22Oh, right.
09:23I live here.
09:24I'm a maid here.
09:25Go on inside.
09:26Don't let anyone see you like this.
09:31Don't drink things from strangers again.
09:38Hastings Castle hasn't hosted a social bowl in a long time.
09:42The guests coming this time are all the master's friends from London.
09:45We can't make any mistake.
09:47I wonder if that friend from New York will make it in time.
10:13You two better not disappoint me.
10:22My old flame.
10:24It's been years and you've gone and struck it rich.
10:36Antique room.
10:38See you there.
10:40See you there.
10:42See you there.
10:43See you there.
10:44See you there.
10:47Madam, there is a guest waiting for you in the antique room.
10:50He says he is an old friend of yours and has urgent matters to discuss with you.
10:54A friend?
10:54What is his name?
10:55He didn't say.
10:57Only said, you would know when you saw him, madam.
11:00Okay.
11:01You should go now.
11:05An old friend.
11:08Who could it be?
11:10No matter who he is, I'll just send him away.
11:27My dear Jay, long time no see.
11:30How come it's you?
11:35Why act so clueless?
11:37Didn't I come here at your beck and call?
11:42I don't know what you're talking about.
11:44There are guests everywhere outside right now.
11:46You must leave immediately.
11:47Who the fuck are you pretending to be noble for?
11:49The old count knows full well what kind of person you are.
11:51And I do too.
11:52Want me to go speak with him about it?
11:54What do you want?
11:56No rush for other things.
11:58It's been so long.
11:59Let's catch up first.
12:14Let's catch up first.
12:30Let's catch up first.
12:31Let's catch up first.
12:33Let's catch up first.
12:34Oh my god!
12:37Oh my god!
12:38Oh my god!
12:40Oh my god!
12:49Is that Lady Hastings?
12:51Heavens.
12:51It's simply scandalous.
12:54I truly feel for Lord Hastings.
12:57He is such an upright man, yet he's been subjected to such terrible humiliation.
13:01And Sebastian, he will also feel ashamed of his mother.
13:05Jane, didn't you love having people watch you in bed?
13:09You must have thoroughly enjoyed this show.
13:18Get a divorce.
13:22William, let me explain.
13:23No need. You have trampled on my dignity. Don't insult my intelligence.
13:28We must divorce.
13:34If you want to divorce, fine. I will take my dowie with me.
13:38I signed an agreement with you back then. You could use my money to run your estate.
13:42But if we ever divorce, I can take all of my money back.
13:45You'd better think about it.
13:46What does Hastings have left now besides an earl title in this old house?
13:50Without me, you can't even keep this house.
13:54Still want a divorce?
13:59I know everything about your fling with that Polish widow.
14:02Let's call it quits.
14:09Do you think he knows about this?
14:11Probably not.
14:12It's too embarrassing.
14:13If it were me, I wouldn't even step out of the house.
14:16Not necessarily.
14:17After all, the earl isn't his real father either.
14:19He should be used to it by now.
14:20Used to having multiple fathers?
14:22Little Hastings searching for his daddies?
14:24Who are you talking about?
14:26May I ask, what were you just talking about?
14:28So you really don't know.
14:30That wantal mother of yours is famous all over England now.
14:34What is that supposed to mean?
14:35Last week, at least dozens of guests saw your mother screwing a Yankee in your home with
14:39their own eyes.
14:41Say that again.
14:42I said, your mother is a...
15:08You haven't been home in a long time.
15:09You should have told me in advance, so I could have them prepare.
15:13This is mother's home, not mine.
15:17You shouldn't say that, Sebastian.
15:21In the future, everything of mother's will be yours, including this home.
15:27Thank you, but you know this is not what I want.
15:31So what do you want?
15:33I want a normal person's life.
15:36What on earth do you mean by that?
15:39Wherever I go these days, people whisper and point behind my back.
15:46Gossiping about my mother's affairs.
15:48How I wish that when others talk about you, I could reprimand them with a clear conscience.
15:57But I cannot.
16:00Because I know my mother better than anyone.
16:31Are you accusing your mother?
16:43It's you.
16:44Jane's son is actually him.
16:48Evelyn!
16:50Why are you still standing there instead of cleaning this up immediately?
17:08Young master, they guessed me to bring you some warm milk.
17:12Young master, this is the warm milk the kitchen asked me to bring to you.
17:16Thank you, but I do not have the habit of eating at night.
17:21Then perhaps I could keep you company for a chat.
17:24Or do something else.
17:28What is your name?
17:29Violet.
17:30My name is Violet.
17:31Young master.
17:32Young master, I was already here when you returned last year.
17:34Violet, go back to your room.
17:35Do not do this again in the future.
17:37Young master, I...
17:38Please leave.
17:40Could you please not tell anyone?
17:42Especially the mistress.
17:44I won't tell anyone.
17:51You saw everything?
17:53Yes, young master.
17:54I won't say a word.
17:56Your name is Evelyn?
17:57Yes, young master.
17:58Do you have any orders for me?
18:00No, nothing.
18:01Nothing.
18:09Violet.
18:12Madam.
18:14What were you doing in the young master's room last night?
18:18Madam, I was only delivering milk.
18:24Dressed like a slut and you were only delivering milk.
18:27Do you take me for a fool?
18:29How did she find out?
18:32Madam, please don't throw me out.
18:35My father will beat me to death.
18:37Then let him beat you to death.
18:39Foolish, wishful-thinking idiot.
18:42You saw all that?
18:44Good.
18:45I hope you take it as a warning.
18:46Yes, madam.
18:53I thought there would be some mutual understanding between people with similar fates.
18:56I know what you're suspecting.
18:58But I wasn't the informant.
19:00But only you saw it last night.
19:02If it wasn't you, and it wasn't me, did she tell on herself?
19:06Master, I am not a detective.
19:08If you have suspicions, you should investigate them yourself.
19:12If you have no further orders, you should let me go.
19:16I don't want Madam to misunderstand me.
19:19Misunderstand you about what?
19:20Misunderstand that I am seducing you.
19:33That bitch, trying to cut ties with me now that she's made it big?
19:37No way in hell.
19:43What should I do?
19:46I don't dare go home.
19:56Don't be scared.
19:58Your dad is useless.
19:59So I'll be your daddy.
20:00I won't beat you.
20:03No.
20:04No.
20:05Please.
20:06Help.
20:07Save me.
20:08Motherfuck.
20:19You bitch.
20:21How dare you hit me?
20:31You're much more exciting than that little girl.
20:34No.
20:36No.
20:38No.
20:41Let go of my sister.
20:50Let go of my sister.
20:52Let go of my sister.
21:05Evelyn.
21:06Evelyn.
21:14Don't be afraid, Evelyn.
21:16It's all right now.
21:21Evelyn.
21:24Not dead.
21:25Good.
21:27Dying would be too easy on you.
21:33That man, has he been sent away?
21:36The police will handle it.
21:38You don't need to worry.
21:39I knew it.
21:41You still care about your mother.
21:43You are my son, after all.
21:45You've lived in England for so long, yet you still keep your American humor.
21:50Of course I didn't do it for you.
21:55Where are you going?
21:56Back to my unit.
22:03He hates me.
22:04Perhaps you're overthinking it.
22:06A telegram just arrived.
22:08The Eighth Army is heading to North Africa.
22:11Good God.
22:14The Eighth Army has arrived in North Africa.
22:17General Montgomery has to talk to the band in the corporate area of Leishampton's women.
22:22General Leeson has taken command.
22:25Just for me.
22:27I wonder how things are at the front.
22:29Madam is so worried she can't even eat.
22:32Yes, and not just Madam.
22:33Many young men from the town have gone to the front.
22:36Everyone is worried sick right now.
22:37Luckily, I'm an only child, so I don't have to go to the front.
22:40You know, the opponent is Roman.
22:47I'm going to pray.
22:48Are you coming?
22:48Of course.
22:49I'll join you.
22:50I'll head back first, just to have a lot of work to do.
23:07You must come back alive.
23:14Breaking news!
23:16The Eighth Army has achieved a decisive victory at Al Mara.
23:20My son is alright.
23:21Raw man, Caswiz forces from the ship.
23:23Congratulations, Madam.
23:38Oh, my son.
23:39You're finally back.
23:41Alright, let our great hero go inside and rest.
23:43Young Master Sebastian is truly young and promising.
23:47The hero of El Almadi.
23:50Let you bastards try and mock me now.
24:00You're the star of the show tonight.
24:01Don't just drink a lullo and share some of your glorious experiences with everyone.
24:05Tonight's roasted lamb chops remind me of the smell of my comrades being blown to pieces.
24:25Shouldn't you be at the victory banquet?
24:28Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
24:30Is there a name you recognize on here?
24:33Their names aren't on here, but their souls must be.
24:38I received a letter a couple of days ago.
24:40Two friends I knew from the orphanage.
24:42Both lost their lives in North Africa.
24:46Are you alright?
24:48We won.
24:49How could I not be alright?
24:51You slipped away from the banquet just because you didn't want to pretend, didn't you?
24:54I'll leave you to it.
24:55I should head back.
24:58If you want to talk, I'm willing to listen.
25:21Master, do you have any orders?
25:23Don't call me Master anymore.
25:24Then what should I call you?
25:26Just call me Seb.
25:28Madam won't be pleased if she finds out.
25:31Would it make you happy to call me that?
25:37Then it would make me happy to.
25:39Then I'll call you that in secret.
25:41Let it be our secret, Seb.
25:45The town hospital is recruiting volunteers to accompany Wounded Soul.
25:48That is, just to talk with them.
25:49Would you like to go?
25:50I would, but...
25:51I'll speak to the butler for you.
25:52You don't have to worry.
26:07You know, in the desert at night, the stars are incredibly bright.
26:11Though I've never seen it, I can imagine.
26:13But they are so bright, it's terrifying.
26:15Because you don't know if you'll still be alive to see them tomorrow.
26:19It's all over now.
26:24She seems to possess a power.
26:26A power to catch those who are falling.
26:29Mr. Hastings, the volunteer you sent last week.
26:31Miss Evelyn, she's absolutely wonderful.
26:33All the soldiers love her.
26:35I'm glad we could help.
26:36She's so young, yet she has such patience.
26:39Some people come and want to leave after five minutes.
26:41But she can sit there all afternoon.
26:43That amputee soldier hadn't spoken to anyone for three days since he got here.
26:47But once she arrived, he actually started talking.
26:53How was today?
26:54One soldier said he was knocked unconscious on the battlefield and had a beautiful dream about his hometown's wheat fields
26:59and his cows.
27:01When he woke up, he found his leg was gone.
27:04I'm sorry to make you listen to these things every day.
27:06The suffering needs to be heard.
27:10Do you need someone to listen to you too?
27:13It's alright if you don't.
27:14Whenever you're ready, I'll be here to listen.
27:28Don't leave me.
27:29I hate the orphanage.
27:36What is happening to me?
27:46Madam, what are your orders?
27:47What has the young master been doing these past few days?
27:50The young master?
27:51Nothing out of the ordinary.
27:52That's devilish strange.
27:54Have you ever known him to stay here for more than three days in the past?
27:57It's been weeks now and he's in no hurry to return to London.
28:00Don't you find that unusual?
28:01You've been at Hastings for over ten years, haven't you?
28:03I've always trusted you because you never keep secrets from me.
28:06Is that still true?
28:07Madam, the young master has been going to the town hospital quite often these past few weeks.
28:12What is he doing at the hospital?
28:14He recommended Evelyn to the town hospital to work as an aide for the wounded.
28:19He did suddenly ask me to borrow a maid for charity work last time and I didn't think much of
28:23it.
28:23No wonder I haven't seen that little girl around lately.
28:25Are you saying he's been fooling around with that little girl at the hospital every day?
28:30Madam, I never said such a thing.
28:40Madam!
28:48What are you doing here?
28:49Madam, I am a volunteer.
28:51A volunteer?
28:52You're a lowly maid.
28:54What business do you have volunteering?
28:57Madam, please conduct yourself with dignity.
29:01You dare lecture me?
29:04You old whore.
29:06Do you want to hit me again?
29:07You little bitch!
29:08How dare you insult me!
29:10Madam, you're getting old.
29:12You've grown so very slow.
29:22It was this little bitch.
29:25Enough!
29:29From this moment on, don't let me ever see you hit or abuse anyone again.
29:34Otherwise, I will hate you as I hate an enemy.
29:37Mother.
29:42I apologize on behalf of my mother.
29:44I'm sorry.
29:45You don't need to apologize, Seb.
29:48If you hadn't come to save me, I should be thanking you.
29:51If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have hit you.
29:54My mother is a terrible person.
29:55Will you distance yourself from me, Seb?
29:58For fear of putting me in danger?
29:59I won't.
30:01Because meeting you is the only good thing that has ever happened in my life.
30:12Come away with me.
30:16Go?
30:18Where?
30:19Anywhere.
30:20London, Scotland, France.
30:22As long as you're willing, we can leave this place.
30:24But why leave?
30:25I don't know what other crazy things she might do.
30:28Seb, I can't.
30:29Why?
30:30This doesn't align with my ideals.
30:34What are your ideals?
30:37To be an ordinary person living an ordinary life.
30:40Not a mistress eloping with a man.
30:47I really didn't expect you'd dare to come back.
30:51This is where I work.
30:52Of course I would return.
30:54You think you can still stay here?
30:56Pack your things and get out.
30:59Right now.
31:00That works too.
31:01Then I can live happily ever after with your son.
31:05You little slut!
31:06You shouldn't insult me anymore.
31:09I'm very good at whispering in his ear, you know?
31:19You think you've won?
31:21You little bitch.
31:22It's far from over.
31:34What wind blew you here?
31:36Shouldn't you be upstairs entertaining our distinguished guest from before at this hour?
31:45You know very well I hate socialising, yet you still tease me.
31:49Well, what can we do?
31:51The most charming lady of the social season has graced us with her presence.
31:55If you're not there, won't your heroic charms go to waste?
32:00Jealous.
32:07My mother invited her.
32:09It's obvious what they're up to.
32:12That's why I suddenly have urgent military business and must go to London.
32:18Poor you.
32:19Come with me.
32:20It'll save you from staying here and dealing with their spine.
32:22Seb, I'm not a child.
32:24I have to face many things on my own.
32:26And have you forgotten I almost killed a piece of trash once?
32:29Wait for me to return.
32:33Your household is quite unique.
32:36Even maids are allowed to serve in the dining room now.
32:40As you know, it's hard enough to find three able-hearted young men in an entire estate these days.
32:45Quite true.
32:48Evelyn, pour some wine for Miss Ashworth.
32:54I heard from my father that even the Queen praised Sebastian's bravery.
32:59Are you serious?
33:00Oh my goodness!
33:02When will he ever cure himself of this dreadful habit of being overly modest?
33:07You shouldn't say that.
33:09Nowadays, old-fashioned gentlemen like Sebastian are rarer than a rhino's hair.
33:14I'd rather be knocked unconscious right now than listen to the two of them carry on with this chapraide.
33:19I also think so.
33:21And because he is so precious, there are always those who hyper unrealistic fantasies about him.
33:26Madam, what kind of lady do you think would be a suitable match for your son?
33:30Don't you already know the answer to that?
33:34Of all the noble ladies in England, you are the only one I wrote to.
33:41A woman's intuition is indeed remarkably accurate.
33:47By the way, Margaret, I heard from your mother that your birthday is in a week.
33:52Seb will surely be back by then.
33:55We must celebrate your birthday.
33:57A ball, hunting, a live band.
34:00I know those are all things you love and excel at.
34:03Madam, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?
34:06Of course not.
34:08Seb loves hunting too.
34:10I'll have him accompany you then.
34:17You seem quite interested in her.
34:22I just feel that she doesn't seem like an ordinary maid.
34:24Oh?
34:26I'm a very good judge of character.
34:29Madam, I'm willing to bet that this maid of yours has quite a background.
34:33Is that so?
34:35Then I really ought to look into this little slut's background.
34:46Mother, it's too hard.
34:48I don't want to learn.
34:50Darling, don't you want to be a lady?
34:53No.
34:54Sister can be the lady.
34:56I want to be a female knight.
35:01Leave the hard things to me.
35:03Little Mary should just do what she loves.
35:05I want to ride horses.
35:07I want to learn to hunt.
35:09Father, where is the pony you promised to buy me?
35:13Father won't forget.
35:15On your birthday,
35:17I'll give you the pony
35:18and teach you how to hunt.
35:20Father is the best.
35:22Don't cry, Evelyn.
35:24Do not cry until you see blood-red tears streaming from your enemy's eyes.
35:35Are you sure you want to host this birthday banquet?
35:38Margaret isn't even family.
35:40Why go to all this trouble?
35:41Precisely because she isn't.
35:43We must.
35:44Earl Ashrington carries great weight in London's social circles.
35:48And if this marriage happens,
35:50your estate, your status, and Seb's future...
35:53Don't be too idealistic.
35:54Your son hasn't even agreed yet.
35:56I know my son better than you do.
35:59He values face and reputation far more than either of us.
36:05Face and reputation.
36:10Stop daydreaming.
36:12This is the time for us to stand united.
36:15On the day of the banquet,
36:16you take care of welcoming the guests.
36:17Leave the rest to me.
36:21Do as you please.
36:26You're back.
36:27Is your business in London finished?
36:30Why the urgency to call me back?
36:31Is something wrong?
36:36Margaret's birthday is coming up.
36:38I want to host a birthday banquet for her here at the castle.
36:41Doesn't she have her own home?
36:43She is our guest.
36:44And your friend.
36:45We can't just neglect her.
36:47She is not my friend.
36:48We are barely even acquaintances.
36:50Be that as it may,
36:52she is staying here.
36:53If we don't even host a dinner for her birthday,
36:56what would people say?
36:57You must think of the Hastings family's reputation.
37:00Do as you wish.
37:01If there's nothing else,
37:02I'm going back to London.
37:04You must attend!
37:08On what grounds?
37:09I know you dislike socializing.
37:11But you are the young master of the Hastings family.
37:15If you don't show up on such an occasion,
37:17what will others think?
37:20I couldn't care less.
37:21How about this?
37:23You can bring Evelyn with you.
37:25I know you care about that girl.
37:27But if you want her to be your companion,
37:30you should also let her see the world.
37:33Very well.
37:44Young master,
37:45there is a call for you.
37:49Sebastian speaking.
37:51Hello,
37:51this is the detective agency.
37:53We have the results of the investigation you requested.
37:59Is something on your mind,
38:01my melancholy prince?
38:02I remember you saying you grew up in an orphanage.
38:05Yes.
38:06Actually,
38:07in a sense,
38:07I'm just like you.
38:08You are an orphan with no parents.
38:11And I
38:13am an orphan with a mother.
38:15Has something happened?
38:16I'm sorry.
38:18Why are you apologizing?
38:21My mother wants to host a birthday banquet for Margaret
38:24and ask me to bring you along.
38:26I took it upon myself to agree on your behalf.
38:30Sure,
38:30I'd love to go with you.
38:47Do I look good?
38:48Without a doubt.
38:51Let's go.
38:59Our hero has arrived.
39:02Evelyn,
39:03you look stunning tonight.
39:05Thank you,
39:06madam.
39:14Distinguished guests,
39:16thank you all for joining us tonight
39:18to celebrate Miss Margaret Ashworth's birthday.
39:21On this beautiful occasion,
39:23I would like to make an announcement.
39:25The Hastings and Ashworth families
39:27will soon be united in marriage.
39:29My son,
39:30Sebastian,
39:31will be betrothed
39:33to Miss Margaret.
39:36Congratulations!
39:37Miss Margaret,
39:38congratulations.
39:38Young Master Hastings is the hero of El Alambia.
39:41Lord Hastings,
39:41congratulations.
39:43I was wondering why Sebastian brought a maid along.
39:45I know, right?
39:46Dressed more decently than the young lady herself.
39:49What an embarrassment.
39:52I do not agree to this marriage.
39:54Miss Ashworth,
39:56my mother's decision does not represent my own.
39:59If she insists on uniting our family,
40:01then the only way is for my stepfather,
40:03Lord Hastings,
40:04to divorce her
40:07and marry into your family himself.
40:13Miss Evelyn,
40:14there is something I must say to you.
40:16What words?
40:18I love you, Evelyn.
40:20No matter what,
40:21I love you.
40:24Are these tears
40:27to think I still have such things?
40:31Sebastian!
40:32Do you have any idea what you are doing?
40:41Do you have anything you want to say to me?
40:45Seb, what you said just now,
40:47was it real?
40:49Or did you just do it to spite your mother?
40:52It is real.
41:00I actually...
41:01I'm really not that good.
41:04That doesn't sound like something you would say.
41:07What if you discover that I'm
41:09actually a very bad person?
41:11Aren't you?
41:13In my eyes,
41:14you have always been a little troublemaker.
41:20I told you my feelings not to burden you,
41:22but to let you know that in this world
41:24you are no longer alone.
41:25I told you my feelings not to burden you,
41:31I told you my feelings not to burden you,
41:35but to let you know that I am.
41:36He is wonderful,
41:38but not nearly enough to make me let go of my hatred.
41:48Stop right there.
41:56did you sleep well last night of course madam that's why i actually admire you
42:07if i were you living under your enemy's roof i would sleep one eye open wouldn't you you might
42:14as well speak plainly madam mary elizabeth thornton born in 1921 new york father david thornton
42:23wealthy manhattan businessman mother catherine thornton sister sophia thornton when little
42:28mary was eight her governess and her gangster boyfriend collided to squeal the thorntons out
42:33of everything david thornton was beaten to death by lone harks sophia thornton was violated to death
42:38catherine thornton slit her wrists little mary was sent to an orphanage
42:46does this story sound familiar to you little mary doesn't it read just like a piece of tabloid news
42:55reading these letters even i felt like shedding a tear or two for poor little mary
43:00so you came here for revenge from the very first day am i right i really didn't recognize that
43:06little bastard who cowered on her tiny bed watching me sleep with her father without
43:11daring to utter a single sound had grown up to be so big you knew i was awake i figured
43:19you did
43:19yes i knew your father took advantage of me and now my son takes advantage of you doesn't that make
43:24us even how is that the same no matter how wretched i am i would never compare myself to an
43:28old whore
