15:51i could reprimand them with a clear conscience

15:58because i know my mother better than anyone
16:02are you accusing your mother
16:05if i hadn't secured a decent life for you

20:47let go of my sister
20:49let go of my sister
21:12Don't be afraid Evelyn. It's all right now.
21:19Evelyn.
21:22Not dead. Good. Dying would be too easy on you.
21:31That man, has he been sent away?
21:34The police will handle it. You don't need to worry.
21:37I knew it. You still care about your mother. You are my son after all.
21:43You've lived in England for so long, yet you still keep your American humor.
21:47Of course I didn't do it for you.
21:52Where are you going?
21:53Back to my unit.
22:01He hates me.
22:02Perhaps you're overthinking it. A telegram just arrived. The Eighth Army is heading to North Africa.
22:09Good God.
22:12The Eighth Army has arrived in North Africa.
22:14General Montgomery has to talk to the man who's in the public area.
22:24I wonder how things are at the front. Madam is so worried she can't even eat.
22:29Yes, and not just Madam. Many young men from the town have gone to the front. Everyone is worried sick
22:34right now.
22:35Luckily, I'm an only child, so I don't have to go to the front. You know, the opponent is Roman.
22:44I'm going to pray. Are you coming?
22:46Of course. I'll join you.
22:48I'll head back first, just to have a lot of work to do.
23:05You must come back alive.
23:12Breaking news. The Eighth Army has achieved a decisive victory at El Al Mara.
23:18My son is alright.
23:19Roman Caswe's forces...
23:20Congratulations, Madam.
23:35Oh, my son. You're finally back.
23:38Alright, let our great hero go inside and rest.
23:41Young Master Sebastian is truly young and promising. The hero of El Al Mahdi.
23:47Let you bastards try and mock me now.
23:57You're the star of the show tonight. Don't just drink a pillow and share some of your glorious experiences with
24:01everyone.
24:02Tonight's roasted lamb chops remind me of the smell of my comrades being blown to pieces.
24:23Shouldn't you be at the victory banquet?
24:25Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
24:27Is there a name you recognize on here?
24:31Their names aren't on here, but their souls must be.
24:35I received a letter a couple of days ago.
24:38Two friends I knew from the orphanage.
24:39Both lost their lives in North Africa.
24:43Are you alright?
24:45We won.
24:46How could I not be alright?
24:48You slipped away from the banquet just because you didn't want to pretend, didn't you?
24:51I'll leave you to it. I should head back.
24:56If you want to talk, I'm willing to listen.
25:18Master, do you have any orders?
25:20Don't call me Master anymore.
25:22Then what should I call you?
25:23Just call me Seb.
25:25Madam won't be pleased if she finds out.
25:28Would it make you happy to call me that?
25:34Then it would make me happy too.
25:36Then I'll call you that in secret.
25:38Let it be our secret, Seb.
25:42The town hospital is recruiting volunteers to accompany Wounded Soul.
25:45That is, just to talk with them.
25:46Would you like to go?
25:47I would, but...
25:48I'll speak to the butler for you.
25:50You don't have to worry.
26:04You know, in the desert at night, the stars are incredibly bright.
26:08Though I've never seen it, I can imagine.
26:10But they are so bright, it's terrifying.
26:12Because you don't know if you'll still be alive to see the memorial.
26:15It's all over now.
26:21She seems to possess a power.
26:23A power to catch those who are falling.
26:26Mr. Hastings, the volunteer you sent last week.
26:28Miss Evelyn, she's absolutely wonderful.
26:30All the soldiers love her.
26:32I'm glad we could help.
26:33Miss Evelyn, she's so young, yet she has such patience.
26:36Some people come and want to leave after five minutes.
26:38But she can sit there all afternoon.
26:40That amputee soldier hadn't spoken to anyone for three days since he got here.
26:44But once she arrived, he actually started talking.
26:50How was today?
26:51One soldier said he was knocked unconscious on the battlefield
26:54and had a beautiful dream about his hometown's wheat fields and his cows.
26:58When he woke up, he found his leg was gone.
27:01I'm sorry to make you listen to these things every day.
27:03The suffering needs to be heard.
27:07Do you need someone to listen to you too?
27:10It's alright if you don't.
27:11Whenever you're ready, I'll be here to listen.
27:25Don't leave me.
27:26I hate the orphanage.
27:33What is happening to me?
27:42Madam, what are your orders?
27:44What has the young master been doing these past few days?
27:46The young master?
27:48Nothing out of the ordinary.
27:49That's devilish strange.
27:51Have you ever known him to stay here for more than three days in the past?
27:54It's been weeks now and he's in no hurry to return to London.
27:57Don't you find that unusual?
27:58You've been at Hastings for over ten years, haven't you?
28:00I've always trusted you because you never keep secrets from me.
28:03Is that still true?
28:04Madam, the young master has been going to the town hospital quite often these past few weeks.
28:09What is he doing at the hospital?
28:11He recommended Evelyn to the town hospital to work as an aide for the wounded.
28:15He did suddenly ask me to borrow a maid for charity work last time and I didn't think much of
28:19it.
28:20No wonder I haven't seen that little girl around lately.
28:22Are you saying he's been fooling around with that little girl at the hospital every day?
28:27Oh, madam, I never said such a thing.
28:36Madam!
28:44What are you doing here?
28:46Madam, I am a volunteer.
28:47A volunteer?
28:49You're a lowly maid.
28:51What business do you have volunteering?
28:54Madam, please conduct yourself with dignity.
28:57You dare lecture me?
29:01You old whore.
29:03Do you want to hit me again?
29:04You little bitch!
29:05How dare you insult me?
29:07Madam, you're getting old.
29:08You've grown so very slow.
29:19It was this little bitch.
29:21Enough!
29:26From this moment on, don't let me ever see you hit or abuse anyone again.
29:31Otherwise, I will hate you as I hate an enemy.
29:33Mother.
29:39I apologize on behalf of my mother.
29:41I'm sorry.
29:42You don't need to apologize, Seb.
29:44If you hadn't come to save me, I should be thanking you.
29:47If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have hit you.
29:50My mother is a terrible person.
29:52Will you distance yourself from me, Seb?
29:54For fear of putting me in danger?
29:56I won't.
29:57Because meeting you is the only good thing that has ever happened in my life.
30:09Come away with me.
30:12Go?
30:15Where?
30:15Anywhere.
30:17London, Scotland, France.
30:19As long as you're willing, we can leave this place.
30:20But why leave?
30:21I don't know what other crazy things she might do.
30:24Seb, I can't.
30:26Why?
30:27This doesn't align with my ideals.
30:31What are your ideals?
30:33To be an ordinary person living an ordinary life.
30:36Not a mistress eloping with a man.
30:44I really didn't expect you'd dare to come back.
30:48This is where I work.
30:49Of course I would return.
30:51You think you can still stay here?
30:53Pack your things and get out.
30:55Right now.
30:56That works too.
30:58Then I can live happily ever after with your son.
31:01You little slut!
31:03You shouldn't insult me anymore.
31:05I'm very good at whispering in his ear, you know?
31:15You think you've won?
31:17You little bitch.
31:19It's far from over.
31:31What wind blew you here?
31:33Shouldn't you be upstairs entertaining our distinguished guest from before at this hour?
31:41You know very well I hate socialising, yet you still tease me.
31:45Well, what can we do?
31:47The most charming lady of the social season has graced us with her presence.
31:51If you're not there, won't your heroic charms go to waste?
31:57Jealous.
32:04My mother invited her.
32:05It's obvious what they're up to.
32:08That's why I suddenly have urgent military business and must go to London.
32:14Poor you.
32:15Come with me.
32:16It'll save you from staying here and dealing with their spine.
32:19Seb, I'm not a child.
32:21I have to face many things on my own.
32:23And have you forgotten I almost killed a piece of trash once?
32:26Wait for me to return.
32:30Your household is quite unique.
32:33Even maids are allowed to serve in the dining room now.
32:36As you know, it's hard enough to find three able-hearted young men in an entire estate these days.
32:41Quite true.
32:44Evelyn, pour some wine for Miss Ashworth.
32:50I heard from my father that even the Queen praised Sebastian's bravery.
32:55Are you serious?
32:56Oh my goodness!
32:58When will he ever cure himself of this dreadful habit of being overly modest?
33:04You shouldn't say that.
33:05Nowadays, old-fashioned gentlemen like Sebastian are rarer than a rhino's hair.
33:10I'd rather be knocked unconscious right now than listen to the two of them carry on with this chapraide.
33:15I also think so.
33:17And because he is so precious, there are always those who hyper unrealistic fantasies about him.
33:22Madam, what kind of lady do you think would be a suitable match for your son?
33:27Don't you already know the answer to that?
33:30Of all the noble ladies in England, you are the only one I wrote to.
33:37A woman's intuition is indeed remarkably accurate.
33:43By the way, Margaret, I heard from your mother that your birthday is in a week.
33:47Seb will surely be back by then.
33:51We must celebrate your birthday.
33:53A ball, hunting, a live band.
33:56I know those are all things you love and excel at.
33:59Madam, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?
34:02Of course not.
34:04Seb loves hunting too.
34:06I'll have him accompany you then.
34:13You seem quite interested in her.
34:18I just feel that she doesn't seem like an ordinary maid.
34:20Oh?
34:22I'm a very good judge of character.
34:25Madam, I'm willing to bet that this maid of yours has quite a background.
34:29Is that so?
34:31Then I really ought to look into this little slut's background.
34:42Mother, it's too hard.
34:44I don't want to learn.
34:46Darling, don't you want to be a lady?
34:49No.
34:50Sister can be the lady.
34:52I want to be a female knight.
34:57Leave the hard things to me.
34:59Little Mary should just do what she loves.
35:01I want to ride horses.
35:03I want to learn to hunt.
35:05Father, where is the pony you promised to buy me?
35:09Father won't forget.
35:11On your birthday,
35:13I'll give you the pony
35:14and teach you how to hunt.
35:16Father is the best.
35:18Don't cry, Evelyn.
35:20Do not cry until you see blood-red tears streaming from your enemy's eyes.
35:31Are you sure you want to host this birthday banquet?
35:34Margaret isn't even family.
35:36Why go to all this trouble?
35:37Precisely because she isn't.
35:38We must.
35:40Earl Asherington carries great weight in London's social circles.
35:43And if this marriage happens,
35:45your estate, your status, and Seb's future...
35:48Don't be too idealistic.
35:50Your son hasn't even agreed yet.
35:52I know my son better than you do.
35:55He values face and reputation far more than either of us.
36:00Face and reputation.
36:06Stop daydreaming.
36:08This is the time for us to stand united.
36:10On the day of the banquet,
36:11you take care of welcoming the guests.
36:13Leave the rest to me.
36:17Do as you please.
36:21You're back.
36:23Is your business in London finished?
36:25Why the urgency to call me back?
36:27Is something wrong?
36:32Margaret's birthday is coming up.
36:34I want to host a birthday banquet for her here at the castle.
36:37Doesn't she have her own home?
36:38She is our guest and your friend.
36:41We can't just neglect her.
36:43She is not my friend.
36:44We are barely even acquaintances.
36:46Be that as it may, she is staying here.
36:49If we don't even host a dinner for her birthday,
36:51what would people say?
36:53You must think of the Hastings family's reputation.
36:56Do as you wish.
36:57If there's nothing else, I'm going back to London.
37:00You must attend!
37:03On what grounds?
37:05I know you dislike socializing.
37:08But you are the young master of the Hastings family.
37:10If you don't show up on such an occasion,
37:13what will others think?
37:15I couldn't care less.
37:17How about this?
37:19You can bring Evelyn with you.
37:21I know you care about that girl.
37:23But if you want her to be your companion,
37:25you should also let her see the world.
37:29Very well.
37:39Young master, there is a call for you.
37:45Sebastian speaking.
37:46Hello, this is the detective agency.
37:49We have the results of the investigation you requested.
37:54Is something on your mind, my melancholy prince?
37:58I remember you saying you grew up in an orphanage.
38:00Yes.
38:02Actually, in a sense, I'm just like you.
38:04You are an orphan with no parents.
38:07And I...
38:08am an orphan with a mother.
38:11Has something happened?
38:13I'm sorry.
38:14Why are you apologizing?
38:16My mother wants to host a birthday banquet for Margaret
38:19and ask me to bring you along.
38:22I took it upon myself to agree on your behalf.
38:25Sure, I'd love to go with you.
38:43Do I look good?
38:44Without a doubt.
38:47Let's go.
38:55Our hero has arrived.
38:58Evelyn, you look stunning tonight.
39:01Thank you, madam.
39:10Distinguished guests,
39:11thank you all for joining us tonight
39:13to celebrate Miss Margaret Ashworth's birthday.
39:16On this beautiful occasion,
39:18I would like to make an announcement.
39:21The Hastings and Ashworth families
39:23will soon be united in marriage.
39:25My son, Sebastian,
39:27will be betrothed to Miss Margaret.
39:31Congratulations!
39:32Miss Margaret, congratulations.
39:34Young Master Hastings is the hero of El Alambly.
39:36Lord Hastings, congratulations.
39:38I was wondering why Sebastian brought a maid along.
39:41I know, right?
39:42Dressed more decently than the young lady herself.
39:44What an embarrassment.
39:47I do not agree to this marriage.
39:50Miss Ashfield,
39:51my mother's decision does not represent my own.
39:54If she insists on uniting our family,
39:56then the only way is for my stepfather,
39:59Lord Hastings,
39:59to divorce her
40:02and marry into your family himself.
40:08Miss Evelyn,
40:09there is something I must say to you.
40:12What words?
40:14I love you, Evelyn.
40:15No matter what, I love you.
40:20Are these tears
40:22to think I still have such things?
40:27Sebastian!
40:28Do you have any idea what you are doing?
40:36Do you have anything you want to say to me?
40:41Seb, what you said just now,
40:42was it real?
40:44Or did you just do it to spite your mother?
40:47It is real.
40:55I actually...
40:56I'm really not that good.
40:59That doesn't sound like something you would say.
41:02What if you discover that I'm
41:04actually a very bad person?
41:07Aren't you?
41:08In my eyes,
41:09you have always been a little troublemaker.
41:15I told you my feelings not to burden you,
41:18but to let you know that in this world,
41:19you are no longer alone.
41:31He is wonderful,
41:33but not nearly enough
41:34to make me let go of my hatred.
41:43Stop right there.
41:52Did you sleep well last night?
41:54Of course, madam.
41:57That's why I actually admire you.
42:02If I were you,
42:04living under your enemy's roof,
42:06I would sleep with one eye open,
42:09wouldn't you?
42:09You might as well speak plainly, madam.
42:11Mary Elizabeth Thornton,
42:13born in 1921, New York.
42:17Father David Thornton,
42:18wealthy Manhattan businessman.
42:20Mother Catherine Thornton.
42:22Sister Sophia Thornton.
42:23When little Mary was eight,
42:24her governess and her gangster boyfriend
42:26collided to squeal the Thorntons
42:28out of everything.
42:29David Thornton was beaten to death
42:30by lone harks.
42:32Sophia Thornton was violated to death.
42:34Catherine Thornton slit her wrists.
42:36Little Mary was sent to an orphanage.
42:42Does this story sound familiar to you,
42:44Little Mary?
42:45Doesn't it read just like a piece of tabloid news?
42:50Reading these letters,
42:51even I felt like shedding a tear or two
42:53for poor little Mary.
42:55So,
42:55you came here for revenge
42:57from the very first day.
42:59Am I right?
43:00I really didn't recognize
43:01that little bastard
43:02who cowered on her tiny bed,
43:04watching me sleep with her father
43:06without daring to utter a single sound,
43:08had grown up to be so big.
43:11You knew I was awake.
43:13I figured you did.
43:14Yes, I knew.
43:16Your father took advantage of me
43:17and now my son takes advantage of you.
43:19Doesn't that make us even?
43:20How is that the same?
43:21No matter how wretched I am,
43:22I would never compare myself
43:23to an old whore.
43:24Go ahead,
43:25curse all you want.
43:27Compared to what I took
43:28from your family,
43:29being insulted by you
43:29means absolutely nothing to me.
43:31How tragic.
43:32Why does he have a mother like you?
43:34In all these years,
43:35has there been even a single moment
43:36when you felt a shred of guilt
43:37for what you did?
43:41Guilt!
43:42Oh, young lady,
43:43you are delightfully naive.
43:45It is a dog-eat-dog world.
43:47That old horny dog
43:48of a father of yours
43:49deserved to pay for his lust.
43:50As for your sister,
43:52she brought it upon herself,
43:54dying in a swarm of men.
43:55Is that my fault?
43:57And your useless mother?
43:58A mother who cannot protect her own child
44:00doesn't deserve to live
44:01in this world anyway, does she?
44:03Look at me.
44:04I would do anything for my son.
44:06You are absolutely right.
44:09It is a dog-eat-dog world.
44:11I was too naive to ask a mad dog
44:13if she felt guilt.
44:16At this stage,
44:17there's no need for me
44:18to kick you out, is there?
44:19If I see you tomorrow,
44:20don't blame me
44:21for having you thrown out.
44:32My dearest Seb,
44:33since the day you left home,
44:35I have departed from the castle
44:36and checked into
44:37the Red Lion Inn in town.
44:39Next Tuesday is my birthday.
44:41If you could come,
44:42I would be overjoyed.
44:44Yours, Evelyn.
44:54It is a pleasure to serve you,
44:55my beautiful lady.
45:00Where are we going?
45:01You'll see when we get there.
45:12Look at that!
45:16What a gorgeous horse!
45:19Do you like it?
45:20I love it!
45:21This has been my birthday
45:22since I was a child.
45:24Come.
45:25Let me teach you how to ride.
45:32Don't be nervous.
45:33I'm right here.
45:37You know, Seb,
45:38ever since I was small,
45:39my dream was to be a knight.
45:43I know.
45:52It's so heavy.
45:55Align the sight here,
45:56steady your breathing,
45:58and then
45:58pull the trigger.
46:05I hit it!
46:06Seb, did you see that?
46:07I saw.
46:08My girl is the best.
46:16Just like that, my girl.
46:18Just like that.
46:19Aim and shoot.
46:19Do not hesitate for a second.
46:25To you,
46:27happy birthday.
46:28To you,
46:30thank you.
46:30I've had such a wonderful day today.
46:35The atmosphere here reminds me
46:37of the little pub
46:38where I first met you.
46:41Don't remind me.
46:43If I hadn't met you,
46:44I would have been
46:44in a terrible state.
46:46Thinking back now,
46:46I have to thank
46:47those two thugs.
46:50Are you drunk
46:51after just one sip?
46:52If it weren't for them,
46:53how would I have had the chance
46:54to play the hero
46:55and save the beauty?
46:57Seb,
46:58you got to know
46:58my birthday wish today.
46:59What about yours?
47:00Is there any wish
47:01you want to come true?
47:05When I was a boy,
47:05my wish was to have a father.
47:07Later,
47:08my mother
47:10she gave me
47:10quite a few fathers.
47:11When I grew up a bit
47:12and joined the military,
47:14my wish was to
47:14distinguish myself.
47:15And then,
47:16the war broke out.
47:18Since then,
47:19I never dared to make
47:20any more birthday wishes
47:21until I met you.
47:24I began to wish
47:25that my own birthday
47:26would arrive
47:26a little sooner.
47:34What is it?
47:35It's nothing.
47:36Let's go.
47:45Seb.
47:50Don't you want to kiss me?
47:51You know I want to kiss you
47:53every single second.
47:53Then kiss me.
47:56I know what your wish is
47:57and it is my wish today too.
47:59Is this truly what you wish?
48:00Of course.
48:20I love you, Evelyn,
48:21no matter what.
48:22I love you.
48:44Help me!
48:46I've been raped!
48:48I've been raped!
48:58My lady,
49:00the young master,
49:00he has been taken away
49:02by the police.
49:04What did you say?
49:05They say it's rape
49:06in Worcestershire.
49:08That maid,
49:09Evelyn reported to the police.
49:14You say that again?
49:16Evelyn accused the young master
49:18of raping her.
49:20The young master
49:21has been arrested.
49:22My lady,
49:23my lady,
49:24someone come quickly!
49:25Call a doctor!
49:27The doctor has been.
49:29He said you're fine,
49:30just suffered a shock.
49:31A lawyer.
49:32Get me a lawyer,
49:33the best one.
49:34Right now.
49:35Indeed,
49:36we need a lawyer.
49:37Aside from cleaning up
49:38your son's mess,
49:39I am divorcing you.
49:40What did you say?
49:41At a time like this,
49:42how can you say such a thing?
49:43Jane.
49:44Yes,
49:45I've had enough of you,
49:46Jane.
49:46Had enough.
49:47Aren't you afraid
49:48I won't leave you
49:48a single penny?
49:50Do as you please.
49:57Sebastian!
50:00Mr. Hastings,
50:01I am the lawyer
50:01hired by your mother.
50:02I need to know
50:03what happened
50:03so I can defend you.
50:06Mr. Hastings,
50:08can you tell me
50:08what happened that night?
50:10Sebastian,
50:11speak!
50:11Tell the lawyer
50:12you're innocent!
50:13You've been framed!
50:14Please say something!
50:16Please take me back.
50:24Well, well.
50:25You sent my son to prison,
50:26yet you're in the mood
50:27to sit here and read?
50:28What a pity.
50:29The one who belongs
50:30in prison is you.
50:33In the orphanage,
50:34you have to fight
50:35for your food.
50:36An old hag like you
50:37wants to hit me?
50:38Ha!
50:41Look at yourself,
50:42the noble countess.
50:44My son is innocent.
50:46He never hurt you.
50:47He loves you so much.
50:49Can you please
50:50let him go?
50:50Your son is innocent?
50:51Then what about
50:52my sister?
50:52What about my mother?
50:55Speak!
50:55Who did they ever hurt?
50:57Which one of them
50:58wasn't innocent?
50:59I was wrong.
51:00I only did it
51:00to give my son
51:02a better life.
51:03Seeing how wonderful
51:04he is now,
51:05can you please...
51:05No.
51:07What on earth
51:07will it take
51:08for you to let him go?
51:09Drop dead.
51:10As long as you are dead,
51:11I'll let him go.
51:18You filthy little whore.
51:20One day you will go to hell
51:21just like your parents.
51:26My lady,
51:27I am a lawyer
51:28from Sir Thompson's firm.
51:29I have been commissioned
51:30by Earl Hastings
51:32to discuss
51:32the divorce proceedings
51:33with you.
51:34Divorce?
51:40Please, take a seat.
51:41She needs some time
51:42to process this.
51:45Must you discuss
51:46this with me right now?
51:48Rationally speaking,
51:49now is the most
51:50appropriate time.
51:50I can't have Sebastian
51:51going to prison
51:52carrying the Hastings name,
51:53can I?
51:59Now you see
51:59why I must have a divorce?
52:01Seb is innocent.
52:02That little siren
52:03framed him.
52:03You are his stepfather.
52:04Do you not know him at all?
52:05To be frank,
52:06the only good thing
52:06you've ever done
52:07in your life
52:07was giving birth
52:08to and raising this son.
52:10But to be even frankly,
52:11you do not deserve
52:12a good son,
52:13status, reputation,
52:14or any of those noble things.
52:23Your Honour,
52:24the victim in this case,
52:25Miss Evelyn grew up
52:26in an orphanage
52:26with no parents
52:27and no one to rely on.
52:28She came to England
52:29through her own hard work
52:30to become a maid,
52:30wanting nothing more
52:31than to live an ordinary life.
52:32However,
52:33the defendant,
52:33Sebastian Hastings,
52:34used his status and power
52:35to commit an atrocious assault
52:37against this helpless woman.
52:38On the night of the incident,
52:39Miss Evelyn had just celebrated
52:40her birthday.
52:41She regarded the defendant
52:42as a friend,
52:43perhaps even more,
52:44and the defendant
52:45exploited that trust,
52:47the trust of a friend.
52:48What did you see
52:49near the crime scene
52:50that night?
52:51I came out of the pub
52:52and heard someone
52:53calling for help.
52:54Then I saw a young woman,
52:56that lady over there,
52:57running toward me barefoot,
52:58trembling all over,
52:59crying so hard
52:59she couldn't speak.
53:00When you saw her,
53:01what did she say?
53:02She pointed at a car
53:03parked on the roadside
53:04saying the man inside
53:05raped her.
53:06And did you see
53:07the defendant at that time?
53:08Yes, I did.
53:08He was sitting inside
53:09that luxury car.
53:10What was he doing
53:10at the time?
53:11He was smoking.
53:12He looked quite relaxed.
53:13Didn't offer any explanation?
53:15No, he just sat there
53:15smoking.
53:18Mr. Hastings,
53:19do you have anything to say?
53:22No.
53:23Speak up!
53:24Tell them you didn't!
53:29Defendant,
53:30this court will give you
53:31one more chance.
53:33If you remain silent,
53:34this court will rule
53:35that you have pleaded guilty
53:37by default.
53:39Your Honor,
53:41I...
53:41May I...
53:42May I say something?
53:44If it has nothing to do
53:45with this case,
53:45then please don't.
53:46It...
53:47It is about...
53:48the defendant.
53:51Please, speak.
53:53Master Hastings,
53:54that is,
53:55the defendant.
53:56He...
53:56He would never commit rape.
53:58Never.
54:00Master Hastings
54:01is a decent gentleman.
54:03He...
54:04He never even let us maids
54:05enter his bedroom.
54:07He also...
54:08saved me.
54:10He saved me and Evelyn.
54:15Your Honor,
54:16I also have something to say
54:17about the defendant
54:19and the victim.
54:21What testimony
54:23do you have to offer?
54:24Just like that young lady,
54:26I absolutely do not believe
54:27the defendant would commit rape.
54:29Do you have any evidence?
54:31It goes like this.
54:33Last year,
54:34around October,
54:35this Miss Evelyn
54:36came to my pub
54:36to seek shelter from the rain.
54:38At the time,
54:39there were two notorious
54:39scoundrels in my pub.
54:41Seeing how beautiful
54:41this lady was,
54:42they secretly drugged her drink.
54:44Just as the scoundrels
54:45were about to take her away,
54:46Mr. Hastings
54:46scared them off with a gun.
54:48I asked him afterwards,
54:49aren't you afraid
54:49of going to prison
54:49for hurting someone?
54:50I remember him saying,
54:51he said,
54:52ruining a rapist
54:53is worth going to prison for.
54:54Look at me, Seb.
54:55If you just look at me now,
54:57I will give up
54:57all my revenge.
54:58Look at me.
54:59And there is one more thing.
55:02Later,
55:03he helped the young lady
55:04out of the pub.
55:04Go on, sir.
55:05When I went out
55:06to throw away the trash,
55:07I saw the lady,
55:09I saw the lady
55:10throwing herself at him.
55:12But he pushed her away
55:13right then.
55:14Your Honor,
55:15my son is innocent.
55:17It's all that woman's fault.
55:18She framed my son.
55:20You should arrest her.
55:21Order.
55:21Send her to prison.
55:22Order.
55:24Your Honor,
55:25I plead guilty.
55:27No!
55:29No.
55:29Defendant,
55:30what did you say?
55:31I plead guilty.
55:33I raped Evelyn.
55:34It is absolutely true.
55:44Since the defendant
55:46has voluntarily pleaded guilty,
55:47this court will recess
55:48immediately for final deliberations.
55:50Why?
55:51Why on earth
55:52did you plead guilty?
55:54A son pays his mother's debts.
55:56You know everything?
55:59From now on,
56:00you don't have a son.
56:02Upon deliberation
56:03between this court
56:04and the jury,
56:05the defendant
56:06is hereby sensed
56:07to three years in prison.
56:16My lady,
56:17you don't have to sign it now.
56:18You can take your time
56:19to consider.
56:27I have no son anymore.
56:29What's the use of a son?
56:31Useless.
56:35Everything is gone.
56:36Everything has been taken away.
56:38That's fine.
56:39Peace and quiet.
56:40I am the Countess.
56:42Even though I have nothing left,
56:43I am still the Countess.
57:08Is it very busy today?
57:10You all look so exhausted.
57:12Yes.
57:13Many wounded soldiers
57:13have been sent
57:14from the front line.
57:20Miss Evelyn.
57:22Jack.
57:23What are you doing here?
57:25I came to visit
57:25some old comrades.
57:26I heard they were sent here.
57:27Oh, by the way,
57:28Captain Sebastian
57:29went to the front line
57:29this time too.
57:30Do you have any news of him?
57:32You haven't heard?
57:33I thought you two
57:33were quite close.
57:34Has he gone to war?
57:36Is he doing okay?
57:39Don't worry.
57:39Captain Sebastian
57:40fights very bravely.
57:41He'll definitely
57:42return in triumph.
57:43Fights bravely?
57:44You really didn't
57:45have to comfort me.
57:48Excuse me,
57:49is this Lord Hastings?
57:50Speaking.
57:51May I ask
57:51who is calling?
57:53Good afternoon,
57:54Lord Hastings.
57:54It's Evelyn.
57:55Good afternoon.
57:56To what do I owe
57:57the pleasure of your call,
57:58Miss?
57:59Do you know
58:00how Seb is doing lately?
58:02Oh, you want to know
58:03how Sebastian is doing?
58:05His sentence was cut short
58:06and he has been recalled
58:08to the front line.
58:14If you would like to pray,
58:16you are welcome
58:16to join us inside.
58:18I've never believed in God.
58:20Can I still pray?
58:21Anyone can pray to God.
58:27I would trade
58:27all the remaining wishes
58:28of my life
58:29just for his safe return.
58:51I would trade all the remaining wishes
58:52birds
58:52and
58:52who
58:52who
