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