Short filmTranscript
00:16Oh, dear God, keep it down.
00:19Don't wait, Mary.
00:23She won't.
00:24She won't know what we're doing.
00:27She's just a child.
00:33I was eight that year.
00:34I woke up and saw my gardeness messing around with my father, right there in my bedroom.
00:45Jane didn't just seduce my father.
00:47She swundled him out of every penny he had.
00:51My father was beaten to death by Lone Shark.
00:55My sister was assaulted and killed by them.
01:01My mother slit her wrists.
01:05Jane, oh Jane.
01:07I swear.
01:09Even if I have to go to hell, I will make you pay in blood.
01:34Hello, my name is Evelyn.
01:37I saw in the newspaper that you are looking for a maid.
01:39Follow me inside.
01:48Jane, I'm here.
01:50Are you ready?
02:03You're from New Jersey, America.
02:05An orphan?
02:06Yes, madam.
02:08I grew up in an orphanage in New Jersey and later came to London.
02:12I worked as a maid for Mrs. Smith for three years.
02:14Why did you leave?
02:16Mr. Smith went to war and didn't come back.
02:18Mrs. Smith returned to America.
02:22You have a cheap but pretty face.
02:25It's a pity for you to be a maid.
02:27Not everyone can be as noble as you, madam.
02:31Well, since Lady Barton recommended you, I'll let you try.
02:35But if you don't do well, you will be fired.
02:40Since I'm here, I won't leave until I drag you to hell.
02:46By the way, I despise people who think they're clever.
02:49If you want to stay here, know your place as a maid.
02:52Madam, I only want to work hard and save enough money for my retirement.
02:57Very well.
02:58Run along now.
03:07You swindled my father out of everything.
03:10And the next thing you know, you're married to Lord Hastings?
03:14Jane, oh Jane, even Satan would envy your luck.
03:20Let me strip you back to what you truly are.
03:45It's been so late and you are still working?
03:51My lord, madam asked me to organise these books tonight.
04:03Are you the new American girl?
04:07Yes, my lord.
04:09My name is Evelyn.
04:19Just arrived.
04:20Are you settling in?
04:21If you need anything, you can come to me.
04:33My lord, you are drunk.
04:34Let me call your valet to take you back to your room.
04:36No need for anyone else.
04:39You take me back.
04:41My lord, I am just a lowly maid.
04:43I have no right to enter the master's quarters.
04:47My lord, you need some water to sober up.
04:50A lowly maid, indeed.
04:53At least you know your place.
05:06My lady.
05:10I just saw my husband leaving.
05:13What did you talk about?
05:15My lord was drunk.
05:16He asked me to pour him a glass of water.
05:20I saw everything.
05:22At least you have some sense, my duty.
05:31Do you know what to do from now on?
05:33Yes, my lady.
05:34I will do my best to avoid Lord Hastings.
05:54Don't you know what to do from now on?
06:05Yes, my lord.

12:35Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
12:45Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
12:48Is that Lady Hastings?
12:49Heavens. It's simply scandalous.
12:53I truly feel for Lord Hastings.
12:55He is such an upright man, yet he's been subjected to such terrible humiliation.
13:00And Sebastian, he will also feel ashamed of his mother.
13:03Jane.
13:04Didn't you love having people watch you in bed?
13:07You must have thoroughly enjoyed this show.
13:16Get a divorce.
13:20William, let me explain.
13:22No need. You have trampled on my dignity.
13:24Don't insult my intelligence.
13:26We must divorce.
13:33If you want a divorce, fine.
13:34I will take my dowie with me.
13:37I signed an agreement with you back then.
13:39You could use my money to run your estate.
13:41But if we ever divorce, I can take all of my money back.
13:44You'd better think about it.
13:45What does Hastings have left now besides an Earl title in this old house?
13:48Without me, you can't even keep this house.
13:52Still want a divorce?
13:57I know everything about your fling with that Polish widow.
14:00Let's call it quits.
14:07Do you think he knows about this?
14:10Probably not.
14:11It's too embarrassing.
14:12If it were me, I wouldn't even step out of the house.
14:14Not necessarily.
14:15After all, the Earl isn't his real father either.
14:17He should be used to it by now.
14:19Used to having multiple fathers, little Hastings searching for his daddies.
14:23Who are you talking about?
14:24May I ask, what were you just talking about?
14:26Well, so you really don't know that wantal mother of yours is famous all over England now.
14:32What is that supposed to mean?
14:34Last week, at least dozens of guests saw your mother screwing a Yankee in your home with their own eyes.
14:39Say that again.
14:41I said, your mother is a...
15:06You haven't been home in a long time.
15:08You should have told me in advance, so I could have them prepare.
15:11This is mother's home, not mine.
15:15You shouldn't say that, Sebastian.
15:19In the future, everything of mother's will be yours, including this home.
15:25Thank you, but you know this is not what I want.
15:29So what do you want?
15:31I want a normal person's life.
15:34What on earth do you mean by that?
15:37Wherever I go these days,
15:40people whisper and point behind my back,
15:44gossiping about my mother's affairs.
15:47How I wish that when others talk about you,
15:51I could reprimand them with a clear conscience.
15:55But I cannot.
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,
16:08you would still be selling sweet potatoes on New York's Lower East Street.
16:11Where I was born was not my choice.
16:13At least I can choose where I die in the future.
16:16Really?
16:17If I had a choice back then, I wouldn't have given birth to you.
16:19Anyone can accuse me, but you can't!
16:22If I am truly that important,
16:24please consider me before you indulge yourself in the future.
16:28So, this is where your weakness lies.
16:41It's you.
16:42Jane's son is actually him.
16:46Evelyn!
16:48Why are you still standing there instead of cleaning this up immediately?
17:07Young Master, they guest me to bring you some warm milk.
17:10Young Master, this is the warm milk the kitchen asked me to bring to you.
17:14Thank you, but I do not have the habit of eating at night.
17:19Then, perhaps I could keep you company for a chat.
17:23Or do something else.
17:26What is your name?
17:27Violet.
17:28My name is Violet.
17:29Young Master.
17:30Young Master, I was already here when you returned last year.
17:32Violet, go back to your room.
17:33Do not do this again in the future.
17:35Young Master, I...
17:36Please leave.
17:38Could you please not tell anyone?
17:40Especially the mistress.
17:42I won't tell anyone.
17:50You saw everything?
17:51Yes, Young Master.
17:52I won't say a word.
17:54Your name is Evelyn?
17:55Yes, Young Master.
17:56Do you have any orders for me?
17:58No, nothing.
17:59Nothing.
18:01Nothing.
18:06Nothing.
18:07Violet.
18:10Madam.
18:12What were you doing in the Young Master's room last night?
18:16Madam, I was only delivering milk.
18:21Dressed like a slut and you were only delivering milk.
18:25Do you take me for a fool?
18:27How did she find out?
18:30Madam, please don't throw me out.
18:33My father will beat me to death.
18:35Then let him beat you to death.
18:37Foolish, wishful-thinking idiot.
18:40You saw all that?
18:42Good.
18:42I hope you take it as a warning.
18:44Yes, Madam.
18:51I thought there would be some mutual understanding between people with similar fates.
18:54I know what you're suspecting.
18:56But I wasn't the informant.
18:58But only you saw it last night.
19:00If it wasn't you, and it wasn't me, did she tell on herself?
19:04Master, I am not a detective.
19:06If you have suspicions, you should investigate them yourself.
19:10If you have no further orders, you should let me go.
19:14I don't want Madam to misunderstand me.
19:17Misunderstand you about what?
19:18Misunderstand that I am seducing you.
19:31That bitch, trying to cut ties with me now that she's made it big?
19:35No way in hell.
19:41What should I do?
19:44I don't dare go home.
19:54Don't be scared.
19:55Your dad is useless.
19:57So I'll be your daddy.
19:58I won't beat you.
20:01No.
20:02No.
20:02Please.
20:04Help.
20:04Save me.
20:06Motherfuck.
20:17You bitch.
20:19How dare you hit me?
20:29You're much more exciting than that little girl.
20:32No.
20:33No.
20:34No.
20:35No.
20:36No.
20:39Let go of my sister!
20:48Let go of my sister!
20:50Let go of my sister!
21:03Evelyn.
21:04Evelyn.
21:12Don't be afraid, Evelyn.
21:13It's all right now.
21:19Evelyn!
21:22Not dead.
21:23Good.
21:24Dying would be too easy on you.
21:31That man, has he been sent away?
21:34The police will handle it.
21:35You don't need to worry.
21:37I knew it.
21:38You still care about your mother.
21:40You 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.
22:04A telegram just arrived.
22:06The Eighth Army is heading to North Africa.
22:09Good God.
22:12The Eighth Army has arrived in North Africa.
22:14General Montgomery.
22:16And the North is a man who's in the public area.
22:18They shall have to wear it.
22:20General Lee.
22:21And the North has taken command.
22:23Just leave.
22:24I wonder how things are at the front.
22:27Madam is so worried she can't even eat.
22:29Yes, and not just Madam.
22:31Many young men from the town have gone to the front.
22:33Everyone is worried sick right now.
22:35Luckily, I'm an only child, so I don't have to go to the front.
22:37You know, the opponent is Roman.
22:44I'm going to pray.
22:45Are you coming?
22:46Of course.
22:47I'll join you.
22:48I'll head back first.
22:49I just have a lot of work to do.
23:05You must come back alive.
23:17I'll head back first.
23:35Oh, my son, you're finally back.
23:38All right, let our great hero go inside and rest.
23:41Young Master Sebastian is truly young and promising.
23:45The hero of El Almadi.
23:47Let you bastards try and mock me now.
23:57You're the star of the show tonight.
23:58Don't just drink a hello and share some of your glorious experiences with everyone.
24:01Tonight'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 all right?
24:45We won.
24:46How could I not be all right?
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.
24:52I should head back.
24:55If 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.
25:37Then 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.
25:50No.
25:52No.
25:53No.
25:55No.
25:55No.
25:55No.
25:56No.
25:57No.
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.
26:16It'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, but 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 and had a beautiful dream about his hometown's wheat fields
26:56and 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.
28:37Madam!
28:44What are you doing here?
28:46Madam, I am a volunteer.
28:48A 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?
30:16Anywhere.
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?
30:26This 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.
32:03My 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.
32:20I 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?
32:57Oh 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 cheprade.
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.
33:38A woman's intuition is indeed remarkably accurate.
33:43By the way, Margaret, I heard from your mother that your birthday is in a week.
33:48Seb 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.
34:17I 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.
34:30Is 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.
34:56Leave 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's the pony you promised to buy me?
35:09Father won't forget.
35:11On your birthday, I'll give you the pony and 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, your 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.
36:01Face and reputation.
36:06Stop daydreaming.
36:07This is the time for us to stand united.
36:10On the day of the banquet, you 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.
36:40And 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, what 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 socialising.
37:07But you are the young master of the Hastings family.
37:10If you don't show up on such an occasion, what 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, you 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.
37:55Is 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...
38:08I'm an orphan with a mother.
38:11Has something happened?
38:13I'm sorry.
38:14Why are you apologising?
38:16My mother wants to host a birthday banquet for Margaret and 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.
38:42Do 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, thank you all for joining us tonight to celebrate Miss Margaret Ashworth's birthday.
39:16On this beautiful occasion, I would like to make an announcement.
39:21The Hastings and Ashworth families will soon be united in marriage.
39:25My son, Sebastian, will be betrothed to Miss Margaret.
39:31Congratulations!
39:33Miss Margaret, congratulations.
39:34Young Master Hastings is the hero of Ella Lumbly.
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, my mother's decision does not represent my own.
39:54If she insists on uniting our family, then the only way is for my stepfather, Lord Hastings, to divorce her
40:01and marry into your family himself.
40:08Miss Evelyn, there 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 to think I still have such things?
40:27Sebastian, do 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, was it real?
40:44Or did you just do it to spite your mother?
40:47It is real.
40:55I actually, I'm really not that good.
40:59That doesn't sound like something you would say.
41:02What if you discover that I'm actually a very bad person?
41:07Aren't you?
41:08In my eyes, you 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, you are no longer alone.
41:31He is wonderful.
41:33But not nearly enough to 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, living under your enemy's roof, I would sleep with one eye open, wouldn't you?
42:09You might as well speak plainly, madam.
42:11Mary Elizabeth Thornton.
42:13Born in 1921, New York.
42:16Father David Thornton, wealthy Manhattan businessman.
42:20Mother Catherine Thornton.
42:21Sister Sophia Thornton.
42:23When little Mary was eight, her governess and her gangster boyfriend collided to squeal the Thorntons out of everything.
42:29David Thornton was beaten to death by lone harks.
42:32Sophia Thornton was violated to death.
42:34Catherine Thornton slit her wrists.
42:35Little Mary was sent to an orphanage.
42:42Does this story sound familiar to you, Little Mary?
42:45Doesn't it read just like a piece of tabloid news?
42:50Reading these letters, even I felt like shedding a tear or two for poor Little Mary.
42:55So, you came here for revenge from the very first day.
42:59Am I right?
43:00I really didn't recognize that little bastard who cowered on her tiny bed, watching me sleep with her father without
43:06daring to utter a single sound, had grown up to be so big.
43:11You knew I was awake.
43:13I figured you did.
43:14Yes, I knew.
43:15Your father took advantage of me and 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, I would never compare myself to an old whore.
43:24Go ahead, curse all you want.
43:27Compared to what I took from your family, being insulted by you means absolutely nothing to me.
43:31How tragic.
43:32Why does he have a mother like you?
43:34In all these years, has there been even a single moment when you felt a shred of guilt for what
43:37you did?
43:41Guilt?
43:42Oh, young lady, you are delightfully naive.
43:45It is a dog-eat-dog world.
43:47That old horny dog of a father of yours deserved to pay for his lust.
43:50As for your sister, she brought it upon herself, dying in a swarm of men.
43:55Is that my fault?
43:57And your useless mother?
43:58A mother who cannot protect her own child doesn't deserve to live in this world anyway, does she?
44:03Look at me.
44:04I would do anything for my son.
44:07You are absolutely right.
44:09It is a dog-eat-dog world.
44:11I was too naive to ask a mad dog if she felt guilt.
44:16At this stage, there's no need for me to kick you out, is there?
44:19If I see you tomorrow, don't blame me for having you thrown out.
44:32My dearest Seb, since the day you left home, I have departed from the castle and checked into the Red
44:38Lion Inn in town.
44:39Next Tuesday is my birthday.
44:41If you could come, I would be overjoyed.
44:44Yours, Evelyn.
44:54It is a pleasure to serve you, my 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 since 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, ever since I was small, my dream was to be a knight.
45:43I know.
45:52It's so heavy.
45:55Align the sight here.
45:56Steady your breathing.
45:57And then, pull 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, happy birthday.
46:28To you, thank you.
46:30I've had such a wonderful day today.
46:35The atmosphere here reminds me of the little pub where I first met you.
46:41Don't remind me.
46:43If I hadn't met you, I would have been in a terrible state.
46:46Thinking back now, I have to thank those two thugs.
46:50Are you drunk after just one sip?
46:52If it weren't for them, how would I have had the chance to play the hero and save the beauty?
46:57Seb, you got to know my birthday wish today.
46:59What about yours?
47:00Is there any wish you want to come true?
47:04When I was a boy, my wish was to have a father.
47:08Later, my mother, she gave me quite a few fathers.
47:11When I grew up a bit and joined the military, my wish was to distinguish myself.
47:15And then, the war broke out.
47:18Since then, I never dared to make any more birthday wishes.
47:21Until I met you.
47:24I began to wish that my own birthday would arrive a little sooner.
47:34What is it?
47:35It's nothing. Let's go.
47:45Seb.
47:50Don't you want to kiss me?
47:51You know I want to kiss you every single second.
47:54Then kiss me.
47:56I know what your wish is, and it is my wish today, too.
47:59Is this truly what you wish?
48:00Of course.
48:20I love you, Evelyn, no matter what.
48:22But I love you.
48:24I love you.
48:44Help me!
48:45I've been raped!
48:56I've been raped!
48:58My lady.
48:59The young master.
49:01He has been taken away by the police.
49:04What did you say?
49:05They say it's rape.
49:07In Worcestershire.
49:08That maid, Evelyn reported to the police.
49:14You say that again?
49:16Evelyn accused the young master of raping her.
49:20The young master has 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, we need a lawyer.
49:37Aside from cleaning up your son's mess, I am divorcing you.
49:40What did you say?
49:41At a time like this, how can you say such a thing?
49:44Yes, I've had enough of you, Jane.
49:46Had enough.
49:47Aren't you afraid I won't leave you a single penny?
49:50Do as you please.
49:57Sebastian!
50:00Mr. Hastings, I am the lawyer hired by your mother.
50:02I need to know what happened so I can defend you.
50:06Mr. Hastings, can you tell me what happened that night?
50:10Sebastian, speak!
50:11Tell the lawyer you'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, yet you're in the mood to sit here and read?
50:28What a pity.
50:29The one who belongs in prison is you.
50:33In the orphanage, you have to fight for your food.
50:36An old hag like you wants to hit me?
50:41Look at yourself, the noble countess.
50:44My son is innocent.
50:46He never hurt you.
50:47He loves you so much.
50:49Can you please let him go?
50:50Your son is innocent?
50:51Then what about my sister?
50:52What about my mother?
50:55Speak!
50:55Who did they ever hurt?
50:57Which one of them wasn't innocent?
50:58I was wrong.
51:00I only did it to give my son a better life.
51:03Seeing how wonderful he is now, can you please...
51:05No.
51:07What on earth will it take for you to let him go?
51:09Drop dead.
51:10As long as you are dead, I'll let him go.
51:18You filthy little whore.
51:20One day you will go to hell just like your parents.
51:26My lady, I am a lawyer from Sir Thompson's firm.
51:29I have been commissioned by Earl Hastings to discuss the divorce proceedings with you.
51:34Divorce?
51:40Please, take a seat.
51:41She needs some time to process this.
51:45Must you discuss this with me right now?
51:48Rationally speaking, now is the most appropriate time.
51:50I can't have Sebastian going to prison carrying the Hastings name, can I?
51:59Now you see why I must have a divorce?
52:01Seb is innocent.
52:02That little siren framed him.
52:03You are his stepfather.
52:04Do you not know him at all?
52:05To be frank, the only good thing you've ever done in your life was giving birth to and raising this
52:09son.
52:10But to be even frankly, you do not deserve a good son, status, reputation, or any of those noble things.
52:23Your Honour, the victim in this case, Miss Evelyn, grew up in an orphanage with no parents and no one
52:27to rely on.
52:28She came to England through her own hard work to become a maid, wanting nothing more than to live an
52:31ordinary life.
52:32However, the defendant, Sebastian Hastings, used his status and power to commit an atrocious assault against this helpless woman.
52:38On the night of the incident, Miss Evelyn had just celebrated her birthday.
52:41She regarded the defendant as a friend, perhaps even more, and the defendant exploited that trust.
52:46The trust of a friend.
52:48What did you see near the crime scene that night?
52:51I came out of the pub and heard someone calling for help.
52:54Then I saw a young woman, that lady over there, running toward me barefoot, trembling all over, crying so hard
52:59she couldn't speak.
53:00When you saw her, what did she say?
53:02She pointed at a car parked on the roadside saying the man inside raped her.
53:06And did you see the defendant at that time?
53:08Yes, I did. He was sitting inside that luxury car.
53:10What was he doing at the time?
53:11He was smoking. He looked quite relaxed.
53:13Didn't offer any explanation?
53:14No, he just sat there, smoking.
53:18Mr. Hastings, do you have anything to say?
53:22No.
53:23Speak up! Tell them you didn't!
53:30Defendant, this court will give you one more chance.
53:33If you remain silent, this court will rule that you have pleated guilty by default.
53:39Your Honour, I...
53:41May I... may I say something?
53:44If it has nothing to do with this case, then please don't.
53:46It... it is about... the defendant.
53:51Please speak.
53:52Master Hastings, that is, the defendant.
53:56He... he would never commit rape.
53:58Never.
53:59Master Hastings is a decent gentleman.
54:03He... he never even let us maids enter his bedroom.
54:06He also...
54:09saved me.
54:10He saved me and Evelyn.
54:15Your Honour, I also have something to say about the defendant and the victim.
54:22What testimony do you have to offer?
54:24Just like that young lady, I absolutely do not believe the defendant would commit rape.
54:29Do you have any evidence?
54:31It goes like this.
54:33Last year, around October, this Miss Evelyn came to my pub to seek shelter from the rain.
54:38At the time, there were two notorious scoundrels in my pub.
54:40Seeing how beautiful this lady was, they secretly drugged her drink.
54:44Just as the scoundrels were about to take her away, Mr. Hastings scared them off with a gun.
54:48I asked him afterwards, aren't you afraid of going to prison for hurting someone?
54:50I remember him saying, uh, he said,
54:52Ruining a rapist is worth going to prison for!
54:54Look at me, Seb.
54:55If you just look at me now, I will give up all my revenge.
54:58Look at me!
54:59And there is one more thing.
55:02Later, he helped the young lady out of the pub.
55:04Go on, sir.
55:05When I went out to throw away the trash, I saw the lady...
55:08I saw the lady throwing herself at him.
55:11But he pushed her away right then!
55:14Your Honour, my son is innocent!
55:17It's all that woman's fault!
55:18She framed my son!
55:20You should arrest her!
55:21Send her to prison!
55:22Order!
55:24Your Honour, I plead guilty.
55:27No!
55:29Defendant, what did you say?
55:32I plead guilty.
55:33I raped Evelyn.
55:34It is absolutely true.
55:44Since the defendant has voluntarily pleaded guilty,
55:47this court will recess immediately for final deliberations.
55:51Why?
55:51Why on earth did you plead guilty?
55:54A son pays his mother's debts.
55:56You...
55:57You know everything?
55:59From now on, you don't have a son.
56:02Upon deliberation between this court and the jury,
56:05the defendant is hereby sensed to three years in prison.
56:16My lady, you don't have to sign it now.
56:18You can take your time to 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, I am still the Countess.
57:08Is it very busy today?
57:10You all look so exhausted.
57:12Yes, many wounded soldiers have been sent from the front line.
57:20Miss Evelyn.
57:22Jack.
57:23What are you doing here?
57:25I came to visit some old comrades.
57:26I heard they were sent here.
57:27Oh, by the way, Captain Sebastian went to the front line this time too.
57:30Do you have any news of him?
57:32You haven't heard?
57:33I thought you two were quite close.
57:34Has he gone to war?
57:36Is he doing okay?
57:39Don't worry.
57:39Captain Sebastian fights very bravely.
57:41He'll definitely return in triumph.
57:43Fights bravely?
57:44You really didn't have to comfort me.
57:48Excuse me, is this Lord Hastings?
57:50Speaking.
57:51May I ask who is calling?
57:53Good afternoon, Lord Hastings.
57:55It's Evelyn.
57:55Good afternoon.
57:56To what do I owe the pleasure of your call, miss?
57:59Do you know how Seb is doing lately?
58:02Oh, you want to know how Sebastian is doing?
58:05His sentence was cut short, and he has been recalled to the front line.
58:14If you would like to pray, you are welcome to 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 all the remaining wishes of my life just for his safe return.
58:30Aνλ€.
58:44To admit.
58:51I wouldors be Eli.
