00:00...selection, an intruder broke in through the window and abducted me.
00:03Hours later, the intruder cast me down from the carriage,
00:06dissembled and exposed upon Piccadilly Street.
00:09Crowds gathered round, pointing and murmuring,
00:11my reputation is ruined and forever lost.
00:14Wretched girl! You have defiled our family's honour!
00:17Take your own life!
00:18No! Father, please, no!
00:25Felix 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's selection.
00:36She gained the most coveted position within the court of the Prince of Wales,
00:40Chief Lady's Maid.
00:42You 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 a 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.
01:03Back to the night before the royal selection.
01:08None of you will escape me this time.
01:12Good evening, sister.
01:14Cecile, what brings you here so late at night?
01:16I made this myself. It is a farewell gift for you.
01:19After all, tomorrow is the royal consort's selection.
01:20Chloroform. How familiar this scent is.
01:28I am not afraid.
01:31I am just doing my utmost to stop myself from wringing her neck right now.
01:35Won't you drink it, Isolid? Is 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. Let me do the pouring for you.
01:59Every detail of this night is etched deep into my bone.
02:06The Clochroform is real, and I will use it.
02:10Just not on myself.
02:17Enjoy 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,
03:02and my foolish father believed every word.
03:07Help!
03:08Help!
03:09Help!
03:10Miss!
03:11What has happened?
03:12A man took Sessi 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,
03:23never to be spread.
03:24If I send for the authorities,
03:25the Earl will surely have my skin.
03:28If my sister suffers harm because of even one second of your delay,
03:32you will answer directly to the Earl.
03:34What's more,
03:34tonight 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,
03:40you will face not only the gallows of Scotland Yard,
03:42but 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
04:03was found at the crime scene in the Thorn Manor tonight.
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
04:13and draw his own conclusions.
04:15Understood, miss.
04:15I leave now.
04:18By early morning tomorrow,
04:19this scandal will spread everywhere.
04:23Such reckless behavior.
04:24What has happened?
04:25Cecile has been abducted.
04:26A man broke in through the east roof window last night
04:28and took her away.
04:29The servants have already sent word to Scotland Yard.
04:31You sent for Scotland Yard
04:32without 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...
04:40family reputation?
04:41I know exactly what you are going to say.
04:44Listen.
04:45The royal consort selection is held today.
04:48Both the Prince of Wales and Queen Victoria
04:50will attend in person.
04:51If word gets out that the heir of the Hamilton family
04:53committed such a heinous crime of drugging and assault
04:55and the Thorn family covered up evidence to protect him,
04:57we will become more than just a laughingstock across London.
04:59We will be utterly destroyed.
05:01Your title of earl,
05:02your valued seat in the cabinet,
05:03everything will be revoked by the Queen.
05:07But think differently.
05:08If our family takes the initiative
05:10and brings the criminal to justice,
05:12then the Thorn family will be seen as loyal subjects
05:15who uphold Her Majesty's laws
05:17even under strict curfew.
05:18It will be a perfect tale to go down in history.
05:22My lord,
05:23men from Scotland Short have arrived.
05:25Inspector Arthur Rowe is leading the team.
05:29Show the inspector in.
05:32The Hamiltons.
05:33Three years ago,
05:34they framed my father
05:35and let him die in Newgate prison.
05:37I have waited for this opening
05:38for three long years.
05:39Inspector,
05:39the Thorn household reported
05:40the second young lady has been abducted.
05:41The situation is complicated.
05:43Just the usual tricks of the nobles.
05:45Let's go take a look.
05:46No hysterics,
05:47no tears.
05:48This Miss Thorn
05:49is far too calm.
05:50Mrs. Leadthorn,
05:51I am Inspector Arthur Rowe
05:52from Scotland Yard.
05:53Inspector Rowe,
05:54thank 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
06:05of a delicate noble lady
06:06who has just faced mortal danger.
06:07Panic changes nothing.
06:08Rather than weeping,
06:09I would sooner see the criminal hang.
06:11Inspector,
06:12the culprit seems to have dropped something.
06:14Do you recognise this, Miss Thorn?
06:17I saw an identical one
06:18at Villick Pembroke's Ball last month.
06:20On whom?
06:20On Felix Ashworth,
06:21the heir of the Hamilton family.
06:23Though,
06:24I 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.
06:36Not so much as a sparrow
06:37takes wing from these grounds.
06:38Send forth the coroner post-haste.
06:45Inspector,
06:46the overnight report
06:46from the Public Athletic Laboratory.
06:48Rush through urgently.
06:51Residue in the wine glass
06:52contains high concentration chloroform
06:53enough to keep an adult woman unconscious
06:55for over six hours.
06:56Such dosage may trigger respiratory.
06:58This wine
07:00was brought to me
07:01by my sister Cecily herself.
07:02She lied and said
07:03she brewed it with her own hands.
07:04Too flawless.
07:05Every tear,
07:06every prearranged accusation.
07:08She is making use of me.
07:09Yet,
07:09I am exactly in need of this knife.
07:11Your two accomplices
07:12have fully confessed.
07:13All promises from Cecily
07:14were nothing but a scam.
07:15Will you keep hiding
07:16and condemn yourself
07:17to felony charges?
07:18I only followed orders.
07:19Miss Cecily forced me
07:20to pass word to Felix.
07:22I watched her pour the drug
07:23into the sweet wine
07:24with my own eyes.
07:25I truly knew nothing else.
07:27Miss Thurns.
07:29We hold physical evidence,
07:31two witness statements,
07:31plus Ella's signed confession
07:33alongside the family crest.
07:35The case is iron lab.
07:37It's beyond dispute.
07:40That is excellent news, Inspector.
07:42One matter to confirm.
07:43You stated Cecily's
07:44left the room temporarily.
07:46And you returned in time
07:47to spot the abductor
07:48escaping through the window.
07:49That is correct.
07:53She lied.
07:54She personally handed
07:55her sister over to that brute.
07:57This woman is as cold
07:58and calculating
07:59as a ruthless politician.
08:01And I admire it.
08:03Launch a city wild manhunt.
08:05Arrest Felix Ashworth on site.
08:07Detain Ceci Thorne
08:08immediately once located.
08:10Extra, extra!
08:11Hamilton Air arrested!
08:13Shocking scandal
08:14on the eve of royal selection!
08:17Good heavens!
08:18Felix got himself mixed up in this
08:19the night before the royal selection.
08:21The Hamiltons are finished for good.
08:22The Marquise may not live
08:23to see tomorrow's sunrise.
08:25That's the illegitimate daughter
08:26of Earl Thorne,
08:27the kidnapped lady
08:28from last night's scandal.
08:29She's dragged the whole
08:29nobility's reputation
08:30through the mad.
08:31Cecily Thorne,
08:32you're arrested on suspicion
08:33of 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
08:45on this very street
08:46in my past life,
08:47no one came to save me.
08:48All you endure now
08:49is the fruit you planted yourself.
08:52Pick up the pace.
08:53We must not be late
08:54for the royal selection.
08:57My dear Miss Thorne,
08:58we've all heard
08:59of your dreadful
09:00family incident last night.
09:02Your half-sister
09:02was abandoned like trash
09:04on Piccadilly Street.
09:05Will your father resign
09:06from the cabinet voluntarily
09:07or will Her Majesty
09:08dismiss him?
09:10Lady Evelyn,
09:11royal selection
09:12prioritizes personal impegrity.
09:14Last night's crime
09:14falls under
09:15Scotland Yard's jurisdiction.
09:16They already have solid evidence
09:17and suspects in custody.
09:18As for my family's standing,
09:20Her Majesty will make
09:20her own wise judgment.
09:22After all,
09:22she always has
09:23impeccable discernment.
09:25Shall we head inside?
09:28Miss Isolette Thorne!
09:30We've heard endless rumors
09:31about you since early morning.
09:33I expect so,
09:33Your Highness.
09:34Most of them seem
09:35to work entirely
09:35in your favor.
09:36I would never presume
09:37to say so myself.
09:38You are most intriguing.
10:03dancing is concluded.
10:05All candidates
10:05tidy your appearance
10:06and line up for
10:07Her Majesty's inspection
10:08in the audience chamber.
10:16Hollow bows, greedy eyes,
10:19hidden plots.
10:20Nothing but shallow
10:22pretentious fools.
10:30This is a trial of composure.
10:32Screaming or weeping right now
10:34would cost me everything.
10:38No harm done.
10:39Be more careful
10:40on your way back.
10:42Miss Isolette Thorne.
10:44Keep her.
10:45Appoint her as Senior Lady
10:46in Waitering immediately.
10:48I thank Your Majesty
10:49for your grace.
11:00It was you!
11:01You planned everything,
11:03you devil!
11:08Miss Thorne,
11:09you will be given
11:09your turn to speak.
11:11Maintain your dignity.
11:12It was Felix.
11:13He tricked me
11:13and manipulated all of this.
11:15He made me lace the wine
11:16with the drug.
11:16You lie!
11:17You envied your sister
11:18and came on to me
11:18of your own free will.
11:19Your confession proves
11:20you leaked the man's
11:21security details.
11:23You low-born bastard!
11:25You dare frame my heir
11:26with such despicable tricks?
11:28You pack of lying vipers!
11:29You promised me advancement!
11:30Now you want to throw me
11:31under the carriage!
11:34Silence!
11:35The petitioner,
11:36Miss Isolette Thorne,
11:37may now address the court.
11:39Cecily Thorne
11:40obtained restricted chloroform
11:41to incapitate me
11:42and passed over
11:43the household's
11:43defense of intelligence
11:44to Felix
11:44in exchange for court favor.
11:46All evidence
11:47and witness statements
11:48filed before this court
11:49confirm every detail.
11:50I have but one question
11:52for Mr. Ashworth.
11:54If your affection
11:56for Miss Cecily
11:56was genuine,
11:58why did you abandon her
12:00like trash
12:00on the streets
12:01of Piccadilly?
12:08Read out the verdict.
12:10By Her Majesty's
12:11royal decree,
12:12judgment is passed
12:13on the Hamilton scandal
12:14case as follows.
12:15Felix Ashburn
12:16is disinherited
12:16from all Hamilton
12:17succession rights,
12:18confined permanently
12:19to the family's
12:19country estate
12:20and banned from London
12:21and all royal jurisdictions
12:22in perpetuity.
12:25Cecily Thorne
12:26shall forfeit
12:26her family name
12:27and all noble privileges
12:28placed under royal
12:29restraining order
12:29to live alongside Felix
12:30in lifelong rural confinement.
12:32Neither may leave
12:33the estate without
12:33dual approval
12:34from the Crown
12:35and Scotland Yard.
12:35I will not be trapped
12:36with this useless man!
12:37Let me go!
12:38I'd rather die!
12:42Are you satisfied?
12:44You ruined your sister
12:45and dragged our
12:45centuries-old family
12:46honour into filth!
12:47My lord,
12:48empty reputation
12:48cannot prop up
12:49a decaying household.
12:50If you truly valued
12:51your dignity,
12:52you would never have allowed
12:53a greedy, illegitimate daughter
12:54to poison me
12:54under your own roof.
12:56You are a cold-blooded monster!
12:58Thank you for the compliment.
13:00In Dog Eat Dog London,
13:01monsters outlive the dead.
13:02The false affection
13:03of my blood family
13:04was torn to pieces
13:04in my past life.
13:05I need no weak
13:06and selfish father.
13:07From today onward,
13:08I walk only by my own strength.
13:10The Hamilton household
13:12hid far more
13:12than a fallen insignia.
13:14These ledgers
13:15were smuggled out
13:15by a distant clan member
13:16to bypass
13:17noble privilege protection.
13:19For ten years,
13:20they've systematically
13:20embezzled funds,
13:22withheld servants' wages
13:23and erected tenants
13:24without compensation,
13:25rotten to the core.
13:26There is far more.
13:27Look at these
13:28private correspondents
13:29between the Marquis
13:30and colonial trading firms.
13:31In the eyes
13:32of the Queen's Legal Council,
13:33these financial arrangements
13:34amount to treasonous
13:35incipitation.
13:36Exactly.
13:37What will you do with them?
13:38This is the ultimate weapon
13:39to ruin their house entirely.
13:41I leave them to you.
13:43Using the Queen's
13:44preliminary temporary
13:44inspection warrant,
13:45submit all evidence
13:46directly to the Royal
13:47and Parliamentary Inspection Committee
13:48in Scotland Yard's official name.
13:50It is time to strip
13:51their ancestral privileges
13:52from the Empire's register.
13:53It will be my pleasure.
14:14It will be my pleasure.
14:16Miss,
14:17this letter is posted
14:17from Thorn Manor.
14:18It is written by the Earl.
14:20They squandered
14:21and overdraft
14:22the Manor's funds
14:23and now that they're
14:24strapped for cash,
14:25they suddenly remember
14:26they have a daughter like me?
14:28Lila,
14:29all future deliveries
14:30coming from Thorn Manor
14:31shall be burnt directly.
14:33No need to bring them
14:33to me ever again.
14:35As you wish, Miss.
14:37Two years have passed
14:38and the ashes
14:39of the past have settled.
14:40It's time to step
14:41into a more splendid
14:42yet deadly battlefield ahead.
14:45The French Engvort,
14:46core guest of tonight's
14:47state dinner,
14:48has been relegated
14:49to seat seat
14:49for impoverished
14:50barrazins and minor
14:51peripheral lords.
14:52This is a ducted
14:53spare copy swapped
14:54in secret.
14:55A clumsy, vicious ploy.
14:57She aims to ruin me
14:58with noble underhanded trick.
15:02Lila,
15:03instruct servants
15:04to set nameplates
15:05strictly per this list.
15:06No single alteration
15:07committed.
15:08As you command, Miss.
15:24Is this how the British
15:25Empire treats France?
15:27An unforgivable
15:27national insult?
15:33A la France,
15:34à votre excellence.
15:36Permettez-moi d'expliquer
15:37cette place spécialement
15:38réservée pour vous.
15:40Spécial?
15:41Est-ce une humiliation
15:42délibérée de me reléger
15:43au fond de la salle,
15:44la marque du mécrit
15:45britannique?
15:48Nous apprendons
15:49que la flotte française
15:50a conclu une victoire
15:51diplomatique décrissive
15:52sur le canal
15:52de Sue-Ex-Sierre.
15:53Les places aux deux tables
15:54suivent les conventions
15:55banales de la...
15:56Depuis ce poste,
15:57vous embrassez
15:58d'un seul gars
15:58tout le banquet
15:59et derrière vous
15:59s'étendent les étoiles
16:00et les routes marignales
16:01du monde.
16:02Ce cige symbolise
16:02la France.
16:03Team honneur
16:04inconcourgeable
16:04des nouvelles routes européennes.
16:06Nous ne jugeons pas
16:07les honneurs
16:07par la hauteur des chaises.
16:08L'Empire britannique
16:09vous honneure
16:10d'une place unique
16:11de timonaires.
16:13Magnifique raisonnement,
16:14mademoiselle Fearne.
16:15Votre esprit
16:15et votre grâce
16:16surpasse toutes
16:16les roses de Paris
16:17à nos futurs
16:18accords commerciels.
16:19S'il vous plaît.
16:22S'il vous plaît.
16:24S'il vous plaît.
16:24Une masterful
16:25interpretation
16:25of the helmsman's seat.
16:27Even the shrewiest
16:28diplomats
16:28would applaud
16:29your wit.
16:29Your Highness
16:30flatters me.
16:31It was merely
16:32a desperate improvisation
16:33to save myself
16:34from ruin.
16:34You were never
16:35merely surviving,
16:36Isolette.
16:37You relish
16:37outmaneuvering them,
16:38turning those
16:39conceded norbles
16:40into ut-you fools.
16:44Duke Cavendish
16:44will submit
16:45an official
16:45impeachment
16:46all against you
16:46to Her Majesty
16:47first thing
16:47tomorrow morning.
16:50Your Majesty,
16:51the Thorn household
16:52is tainted
16:53by scandal.
16:54This disgraced
16:55noble's daughter
16:55fooled foreign envoys
16:56with cunning sufferer
16:57at the state dinner
16:57overstepping
16:58her official bounds.
16:59A scheming woman
17:00like her
17:00staying beside
17:01Your Majesty
17:02will bring ruin
17:03to the British Empire.
17:04After discussion
17:05with cabinet ministers,
17:06Princess of Denmark
17:07is the ideal bride
17:08for the Prince of Wales.
17:09To safeguard
17:10royal dignity,
17:11we beg Your Majesty
17:11to dismiss Isolette
17:12from court at once.
17:16The Duke claims
17:17you are crafty
17:18and balicious,
17:18Miss Thorne.
17:19The Empire needs
17:20no useless blank paper,
17:22yet neither will it
17:23keep a dull blade
17:23that cuts its own master.
17:25Prove you deserve
17:26your place here.
17:30As you command,
17:31Your Majesty.
17:34My foes have risen
17:35from petty lobal girls
17:36to powerful cabinet Dukes.
17:38This is an all-or-nothing
17:39power struggle.
17:40Layla,
17:40leave via the secret
17:41side exit.
17:42Contact Inspector Arthur
17:43Rue immediately.
17:44Use my royal inspection
17:45warrant to access
17:45confidential official archives.
17:47The Duke has overseen
17:48army and navy funding
17:48appropriations for 12 years.
17:50I need every file
17:50recording abnormal fund
17:51flows under his name.
17:52Understood, Miss.
18:00Miss,
18:01Inspector Rue retrieved
18:01all confidential records
18:02per your royal warrant.
18:04Everything you requested
18:05is inside.
18:06Tens of thousands
18:07of pounds
18:07in unexplained gaps.
18:09So they are the real
18:10parasites straining
18:11the royal treasury.
18:12Shall we submit
18:13these documents
18:13directly to Her Majesty?
18:15Simply handing evidence
18:16to the Queen
18:16would only make me
18:17a common informer.
18:18What Her Majesty values
18:19is not blind loyalty
18:21but capable political tactics.
18:22To top a towering noble
18:24never check its trank.
18:25Poison its hidden roots
18:26instead.
18:27Simply handing evidence
18:28to the Queen
18:29would only make me
18:29a common informer.
18:30What Her Majesty values
18:31is not blind loyalty
18:32but capable political tactics.
18:35To top a towering noble
18:36never hack its trank.
18:38Poison its hidden roots
18:39instead.
18:43Your tea party
18:44is elegant, Miss Thorne.
18:45Yet cabinet affairs
18:46keep us occupied.
18:47We can only stay
18:48a short while.
18:49Naturally, my Lord Billet.
18:50The lumber procurement
18:51for HMS Royal Ark
18:52at Porchmas Dockcard
18:53surely demands
18:54all your attention.
18:55Royal Navy business
18:56is far beyond
18:56a lady-in-waiting's concern.
18:58I know nothing
18:58of shipbuilding
18:59but I can count.
19:00All proof is laid
19:01right here.
19:02£15,000 worth
19:03of premium indiantique
19:04through a private dock
19:04at Southampton
19:05yet officially recorded
19:06as low-grade
19:06Scottish plime
19:07value at merely
19:08£3,000.
19:09One wonders
19:10where the missing
19:11£12,000 vanished.
19:12Perhaps carried
19:13on coastal winds
19:13into the Duke Cavendale's
19:15newly built
19:15West End townhouse.
19:17And you, Lord Earl,
19:18£30,000 allocated
19:19for winter uniforms
19:20for troops stationed
19:21in the Krymos
19:22bore the signature
19:23of your wife's nephew
19:24last fiscal year.
19:25I've heard countless
19:25soldiers perished
19:26from bitter cold
19:27at the front.
19:28Does the Parisian man
19:29and your nephew
19:29Purchase stay warm enough
19:30through harsh winters?
19:31You slander me outright!
19:34Whether it is slander
19:35or truth is fully documented
19:36within Scotland Yard's
19:37classified archives
19:37with verified excerpts
19:39in my possession.
19:40Her Majesty
19:41tossed that impeachment
19:42writ to me,
19:42a clear sign
19:43she has entrusted me
19:44the authority
19:44to root out
19:45Treasury and Mezla's.
19:46With complete evidence
19:47in hand,
19:48I may submit the case
19:49to Parliamentary
19:49Inspection Committee
19:50any time.
19:52Duke Cavalish
19:52may deliver
19:53impashed speeches
19:53before the throne,
19:55yet you three
19:55will bear all punishment
19:56when judicial judgment
19:57falls.
19:59The tea has gone cold,
20:00gentlemen.
20:00you may take your leave.
20:01I happen to have
20:02a poor memory.
20:03Should several names
20:04vanish from that impeachment
20:05menu by tomorrow morning,
20:06all these tedious
20:07financial figures
20:07may slip entirely
20:08from my mind.
20:11Cowardly turnstrikes!
20:12All of you useless fools!
20:15If legal means
20:16cannot drive her from court,
20:17erase her from this world
20:18entirely.
20:19Eliminate any backer
20:20shielding her as well.
20:21The audit investigation
20:23must never reach
20:23my household.
20:26Reborn from the brink
20:27of death,
20:28I've grown sensitive
20:28to the stench
20:29of mortal danger.
20:30This seemingly
20:30impenetrable royal hunt
20:31is shrouded
20:32in uncary oddities.
20:33These hands
20:34do not belong
20:35to stable attendants.
20:36They are fugitives
20:37who fight in
20:37underground rings
20:38and carry blades
20:39for blood money.
20:40The girth and stuller
20:40will snap the moment
20:41the stallion sprints
20:42into the thick woods.
20:43A suicidal ploy.
20:44Caunted by irrebutable
20:45corruption evidence,
20:46Duke Cavalish would kill
20:47the prince to reshape
20:47the whole power structure.
20:48Drop your silk handkerchief,
20:49then slip away
20:49to find Inspector Roa
20:50on perimeter guard.
20:51Tell him mad dogs
20:52lurk in the net.
20:53Seal all exits
20:53without waiting
20:54for higher approval.
20:55Oh dear,
20:56the wind is really strong.
20:57I'm going to fetch
20:58my cloak.
21:00Once this hunt ends,
21:02I shall present you
21:02something vital
21:03tied to both
21:04my royal future
21:05and yours.
21:06Your highness,
21:07your state is ready.
21:16Protect his royal highness!
21:18Seize him!
21:18Inspect the horse harness
21:19at once.
21:24Scotland Yard!
21:25All suspects under arrest!
21:34Miss Thorne,
21:34are you unharmed?
21:35I'm quite well,
21:36Inspector.
21:37Search their persons
21:38for evidence
21:38to present to her majesty.
21:44Exclusive stag decree
21:45of the Cavendish family.
21:53What explanation have you left,
21:55Duke?
21:55Miss Thorne,
21:56you bear grudges
21:57against my daughter Evelyn,
21:58yet you dare frame
21:59a hereditary perv
22:00for capital crimes
22:01over a random trinket!
22:02A random trinket?
22:04What if we had this?
22:06Your majesty,
22:07these are full embezzlement
22:08accounts of the Cavendish family
22:09over five years
22:10with his signed vouchers
22:11attached already submitted
22:12to Parliament Inspection Committee.
22:14Assassination treasury
22:15will be tried in the House of Law's
22:16Peer Court.
22:17Confiscate implicated furs
22:18and illicit assets,
22:20strip his noble title,
22:21confine the chief cop
22:22to Royal Manor
22:23for lifelong detention!
22:27All of you,
22:28leave us.
22:36This ring
22:37is my private collection,
22:38fully filed and registered
22:40in Royal Jewelry Archives,
22:41kept in storage
22:42for far too long.
22:44To sustain the Empire's glory,
22:46we need no innocent lambs.
22:47We require a shrewd,
22:49resolute strategist
22:50who uncovers hypocrisy
22:52and brings assassins
22:53and corrupt nobles
22:54to justice amid peril.
22:58Isled,
22:59you have not only saved my life
23:01but also stolen my whole heart.
23:02Marry me
23:03and become the future
23:04mister of this Empire.
23:09As you wish,
23:10your highness.
23:11Very well.
23:13Starting tomorrow,
23:14the whole Empire
23:15shall prepare
23:16for this unprecedented
23:17royal wedding.
23:21Miss,
23:21all transfer procedures
23:23for half revenue
23:24of Thorn Manor
23:24based on the old contract
23:25have been finished.
23:27File it for archiving.
23:28Understood, miss.
23:32The game is over.
23:38Do you swear
23:39to remain faithful
23:39to one another
23:40in sickness
23:41and in health
23:42till death do you part?
23:43I do.
23:44I do.
23:50Her Majesty
23:51Queen Victoria arrives.
23:54You have done excellently.
23:56You've fulfilled
23:57the true purpose
23:58of the royal selection.
23:59The Empire needs
24:00steady hands
24:01to secure order
24:02and secure the royal line.
24:04By royal warrant,
24:05you are awarded
24:06the royal Victorian order
24:08with formal incitation
24:09to be held
24:10on a designated date.
24:12I am grateful
24:13for your Majesty's grace.
24:16I shall take my lead.
24:19I rose from the mild
24:20and plotted every step.
24:22No longer anyone's pawn.
24:24All moves on this chessboard
24:26rest under my command.
