"La Maîtrise du Destin" est un long-métrage dramatique saisissant qui explore les mécaniques invisibles du pouvoir, la trahison d'une élite qui croit manipuler l'avenir des autres à sa guise, et une vengeance magistrale qui force le destin à se plier à la volonté d'une seule personne. L'histoire suit une protagoniste dont la vie a été sciemment orchestrée par une caste puissante, cherchant à faire d'elle le pion de leur propre succès. Ses agresseurs — arrogants, cruels et calculateurs — ont cru que leur plan était infaillible, sous-estimant la tempête de feu qu'elle cultivait en secret alors qu'elle apprenait à maîtriser les rouages de leur empire.
Mais un sourire glacial et d'une clarté absolue se dessine sur le visage de la protagoniste lorsqu'elle comprend que ses ennemis ont commis l'erreur de leur vie en tentant de programmer son existence. Délaissant son ancienne façade de victime docile, elle déploie un potentiel terrifiant que personne n'avait vu venir, se révélant être la stratège brillante qui a opéré dans l'ombre pour s'assurer que l'empire construit sur sa servitude s'effondre totalement. Le monde de l'élite panique lorsqu'elle commence, avec une froideur absolue, à démanteler les entreprises de ceux qui ont tenté de l'enchaîner, exposant leurs fraudes, leurs alliances secrètes et réclamant avec fermeté le contrôle total des actifs qu'ils avaient usurpés sous de faux prétextes.
Le climax de tension suffocante éclate lors de la conférence annuelle où ses bourreaux prévoyaient de dévoiler leur domination totale sur le marché. La terreur la plus paralysante consume les conspirateurs lorsque les immenses portes s'ouvrent et que la femme qu'ils ont tenté de réduire au silence fait une entrée triomphale en tant que seule propriétaire légitime et actionnaire majoritaire de chaque actif soutenant leur faux prestige. En révélant des preuves irréfutables de leurs trahisons et de la fausseté qui maintenait leurs vies à flot, la vérité les frappe comme un ouragan. Contraints de ramper à ses pieds, suppliant pour une miséricorde qui n'existe tout simplement pas, ils comprennent enfin le coût d'avoir sous-estimé la femme qui, ayant désormais la maîtrise totale de son destin, a réclamé son trône avec une justice implacable.

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 loan shark.
00:55My sister was assaulted and killed by them.
01:00My 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.
01:36Jane, I saw in the newspaper that you are looking for a maid.
01:41Follow me inside.
01:47Jane, I'm here.
01:50Are you ready?
02:03You're from New Jersey, America.
02:05An orphan?
02:06Yes, madam.
02:07I 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.
02:21You 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. 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.
03:45It's been so late.
03:46And you are still working?
03:51My lord, madam asked me to organize these books tonight.
04:03Are you the new American girl?
04:07Yes, my lord.
04:09My name is Evelyn.
04:18Just arrived. Are 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.
05:38Do you mind?
05:49Do you mind?
06:01Do you mind?
06:05Jane's Old Flame, Sean O'Donnell, Westside, Manhattan, New York.
06:09After all these years, you two must miss each other terribly, don't you?
06:25Please send it as quickly as possible.
06:57You must be freezing, dear. Have a cup of tea to warm up.
06:59Thank you. I appreciate it.
07:03See that? Even in a backwater like this, there's a fine piece like her.
07:08She's like a soaked little cupcake.
07:16Hey, my beautiful little lady, are you alone? Where are you from, huh?
07:20Oi, old Tom, give this young lady some whiskey to ward off the cold.
07:23No, thank you. I don't drink.
07:37What's happening?
07:39Oh, sweetheart, you don't look well. Let me help you get some rest.
07:43Let me go.
07:55Take your hands off her.
07:58Sir, she's my sister.
08:01Say one more word, I'll shoot.
08:14Where do you live?
08:17Hastings Castle, please.
08:22Sir, your face is as cold as ice.
08:27Don't move. Sit still.
08:31Don't leave me alone.
08:33I hate the orphanage.
08:43Dammit, they drugged her.
08:59I can't do this.
09:00I'd be no better than those two creeps from just now.
09:17Oh, where is this?
09:19You said you live here.
09:21Oh, right. I live here. I'm a maid here.
09:24Go on inside. Don't let anyone see you like this.
09:28Thank you.
09:30Don't drink things from strangers again.
09:37Hastings Castle hasn't hosted a social bowl in a long time.
09:41The guests coming this time are all the master's friends from London.
09:44We can't make any mistake.
09:46I wonder if that friend from New York will make it in time.
10:11You two better not disappoint me.
10:21My old flame.
10:23It's been years and you've gone and struck it rich.
10:35Antique room.
10:37See you there.
10:46Madam, there is a guest waiting for you in the antique room.
10:49He says he is an old friend of yours and has urgent matters to discuss with you.
10:53A friend?
10:53What is his name?
10:54He didn't say.
10:55Only said, you would know when you saw him, madam.
10:59Okay.
11:00You should go now.
11:04An old friend.
11:07Who could it be?
11:09No matter who he is, I'll just send him away.
11:26My dear Jay, long time no see.
11:29How come it's you?
11:34Why act so clueless?
11:36Didn't I come here at your beck and call?
11:40I don't know what you're talking about.
11:42There are guests everywhere outside right now.
11:44You must leave immediately.
11:46Who the fuck are you pretending to be noble for?
11:48The old count knows full well what kind of person you are, and I do too.
11:51Want me to go speak with him about it?
11:53What do you want?
11:55No rush for other things.
11:56It's been so long.
11:58Let's catch up first.
12:13Let's catch up first.
12:16Let's catch up.
12:27Let's catch up.
12:35Oh my god.
12:37Oh my god.
12:44Oh my god.
12:46Oh my god.
12:48Is that Lady Hastings?
12:49Heavens.
12:50It'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, didn'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.
13:21No need.
13:22You 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.
13:43You'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?
14:27So you really don't know.
14:28That 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.
15:07You 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.
15:23Including 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?
16:16If 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 guessed me to bring you some warm milk.
17:10Young master,
17:11This 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.
17:22Or, do something else.
17:26What is your name?
17:27Violet, my name is Violet.
17:29Young master, young 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.
18:07Violet.
18:10Madam, what 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, I please don't throw me out!
18:32My 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.
19:40What 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.
20:03Help.
20:04Save me.
20:06Motherfuck.
20:17You bitch.
20:19How dare you hit me?
20:29You're much more exciting than that little girl.
20:39Let go of my sister!
20:41Let go of my sister!
20:48Let go of my sister!
20:50Let go of my sister!
21:03Evelyn.
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, and the Torsic, has manned with a portrait of the public area.
22:18They shot the square.
22:20General Leeson, and it has taken command.
22:23Just wait.
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.
22:38You 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.
23:34Oh, my son.
23:37You're finally back.
23:38All right, let our great hero go inside and rest.
23:41Young Master Sebastian is truly young and promising.
23:44The 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 little and share some of your glorious experiences with everyone.
24:02Tonight's roasted lamb chops remind me of the smell of my comrades being blown to pieces.
24:23Shouldn't you be at the Victory Banquet?
24:25Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
24:27Is there a name you recognize on here?
24:31Their names aren't on here, but their souls must be.
24:35I received a letter a couple of days ago.
24:38Two friends I knew from the orphanage.
24:39Both lost their lives in North Africa.
24:43Are you 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.
25:17Master, do you have any orders?
25:20Don't call me Master anymore.
25:22Then what should I call you?
25:23Just call me Seb.
25:25Madam won't be pleased if she finds out.
25:28Would it make you happy to call me that?
25:34Then it would make me happy too.
25:36Then I'll call you that in secret.
25:38Let it be our secret, Seb.
25:42The town hospital is recruiting volunteers to accompany Wounded Soul.
25:45That is, just to talk with them.
25:46Would you like to go?
25:47I would, but...
25:48I'll speak to the butler for you.
25:49You don't have to worry.
25:50Okay.
26:04You know, in the desert at night, the stars are incredibly bright.
26:08Though I've never seen it, I can imagine.
26:10But they are so bright, it's terrifying.
26:12Because you don't know if you'll still be alive to see the memorial.
26:15It's all over now.
26:21She seems to possess a power.
26:23A power to catch those who are falling.
26:26Mr. Hastings, the volunteer you sent last week.
26:28Miss Evelyn, she's absolutely wonderful.
26:30All the soldiers love her.
26:32I'm glad we could help.
26:33She's so young, yet she has such patience.
26:36Some people come and want to leave after five minutes.
26:38But she can sit there all afternoon.
26:40That amputee soldier hadn't spoken to anyone for three days since he got here.
26:44But once she arrived, he actually started talking.
26:50How was today?
26:51One soldier said he was knocked unconscious on the battlefield and had a beautiful dream
26:55about his hometown's wheat fields and his cows.
26:58When he woke up, he found his leg was gone.
27:01I'm sorry to make you listen to these things every day.
27:03The suffering needs to be heard.
27:06Do you need someone to listen to you too?
27:10It's all right 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.
27:56Don'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.
28:43What are you doing here?
28:46Madam, I am a volunteer.
28:48A volunteer?
28:49You're a lowly maid.
28:50What 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.
29:38I apologize on behalf of my mother.
29:41I'm sorry.
29:42You don't need to apologize, Seb.
29:44If you hadn't come to save me, I should be thanking you.
29:47If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have hit you.
29:50My mother is a terrible person.
29:52Will you distance yourself from me, Seb?
29:54For fear of putting me in danger?
29:56I won't.
29:57Because meeting you is the only good thing that has ever happened in my life.
30:09Come away with me.
30:12Go?
30:15Where?
30:15Anywhere.
30:17London, Scotland, France.
30:19As long as you're willing, we can leave this place.
30:20But why leave?
30:21I don't know what other crazy things she might do.
30:24Seb, I can't.
30:26Why?
30:27This doesn't align with my ideals.
30:31What are your ideals?
30:33To be an ordinary person living an ordinary life.
30:36Not a mistress eloping with a man.
30:44I really didn't expect you'd dare to come back.
30:48This is where I work.
30:49Of course I would return.
30:51You think you can still stay here?
30:53Pack your things and get out.
30:55Right now.
30:56That works too.
30:58Then I can live happily ever after with your son.
31:01You little slut!
31:03You shouldn't insult me anymore.
31:05I'm very good at whispering in his ear, you know?
31:15You think you've won, you little bitch?
31:19It's far from over.
31:30What 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?
31:56Jealous.
31:58Jealous.
32:00Jealous.
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.
32:32Even 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!
32:59When 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 chaprade.
33:15I also think so.
33:17And because he is so precious, there are always those who hyper unrealistic fantasies about him.
33:22Madam, what kind of lady do you think would be a suitable match for your son?
33:27Don't you already know the answer to that?
33:30Of all the noble ladies in England, you are the only one I wrote to.
33:37A woman's intuition is indeed remarkably accurate.
33:43By the way, Margaret, I heard from your mother that your birthday is in a week.
33:48Seb 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.
33:58Madam, 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.
34:29Is that so?
34:31Then I really ought to look into this little slut's background.
34:42Mother, it's too hard.
34:44I don't want to learn.
34:46Darling, don't you want to be a lady?
34:49No.
34:50Sister can be the lady.
34:52I want to be a female knight.
34:56Leave the hard things to me.
34:58Little Mary should just do what she loves.
35:01I want all the right horses.
35:03I want to learn to hunt.
35:04Father, where is 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.
35:35Why go to all this trouble?
35:37Precisely because she isn't.
35:38We must.
35:39Earl 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.
36:00Face 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.
36:22Is your business in London finished?
36:25Why the urgency to call me back?
36:27Is something wrong?
36:32Margaret's birthday is coming up.
36:34I want to host a birthday banquet for her here at the castle.
36:37Doesn't she have her own home?
36:38She is our guest and your friend.
36:41We can't just neglect her.
36:42She 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 socializing.
37:08But 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.
37:54Is something on your mind, my melancholy prince?
37:58I remember you saying you grew up in an orphanage.
38:00Yes.
38:02Actually, in a sense, I'm just like you.
38:04You are an orphan with no parents.
38:07And I am an orphan with a mother.
38:11Has something happened?
38:13I'm sorry.
38:14Why are you apologizing?
38:16My mother wants to host a birthday banquet for Margaret 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.
38:30Thank you.
38:43Do I look good?
38:44Without a doubt.
38:47Let's go.
38:55Our hero has arrived.
38:57Evelyn, you look stunning tonight.
39:01Thank you, madam.
39:10Distinguished guests, thank you all for joining us tonight to celebrate
39:14Miss 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!
39:32Miss Margaret, congratulations.
39:34Young Master Hastings is the hero of Ella Lumbly.
39:36I 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?
40:22To think I still have such things.
40:27Sebastian!
40:28Do you have any idea what you are doing?
40:36Do you have anything you want to say to me?
40:41Except what you said just now.
40:42Was it real?
40:44Or did you just do it to spite your mother?
40:47It is real.
40:55I actually...
40:56I'm really not that good.
40:59That doesn't sound like something you would say.
41:02What if you discover that I'm 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.
41:20I told you my feelings not to hurt.
41:31He is wonderful,
41:33but not nearly enough to make me let go of my hatred.
41:43Stop right there.
41:51¿Por qué?
42:14921 New York
42:16Father David Thornton, wealthy Manhattan businessman
42:19Mother Catherine Thornton
42:21Sister Sophia Thornton
42:23When Little Mary was eight, her governess and her gangster boyfriend collided to swill the Thorntons out of everything.
42:29David Thornton was beaten to death by lone harks.
42:31Sophia Thornton was violated to death.
42:34Catherine Thornton slit her wrists.
42:36Little Mary was sent to an orphanage.
42:41Does this story sound familiar to you, Little Mary?
42:45Doesn't it read just like a piece of tabloid news?
42:49Reading 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?
42:59I 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. Doesn't that make us even?
43:20How is that the same? No 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.
44:06You 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
44:37Lion Inn in town.
44:39Next Tuesday is my birthday.
44:41If you could come, I would be overjoyed.
44:44Yours, Evelyn.
44:53It is a pleasure to serve you, my beautiful lady.
45:00Where are we going?
45:01You'll see when we get there.
45:11Look 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.
45:33Don'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.
45:54Align the sight here.
45:56Steady your breathing.
45:57Steady, and 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.
46:18Aim 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.
47:36Let'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.
48:22I love you.
48:44Help me!
48:46I've been raped!
48:58My lady, the young master, he has been taken away by the police.
49:04What did you say?
49:05They say it's rape in 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, my lady, someone come quickly!
49:25Call a doctor!
49:27The doctor has been.
49:29He said you're fine, just suffered a shock.
49:31A lawyer.
49:32Get me a lawyer, the 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?
50:09Sebastian, speak!
50:11Tell the lawyer you're innocent!
50:13You've been framed!
50:14Please, say something!
50:16Please, say something!
50:17Please, take me back.
50:24Well, well, you 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?
50:51Then 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?
51:39Please take a seat.
51:40She 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?
51:58Now 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.
52:09But 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, the trust of a
52:47friend.
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?
53:21No.
53:22Speak up! Tell them you didn't!
53:29Defendant, this court will give you one more chance.
53:33If you remain silent, this court will rule that you have pleaded guilty by default.
53:39Your Honor, I...
53:41May I... May I say something?
53:43If it has nothing to do with this case, then please don't.
53:46It... It is about...
53:48The defendant.
53:51Please, speak.
53:53Master 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.
54:07He also...
54:08Saved me.
54:09He saved me and Evelyn.
54:15Your Honor, I also have something to say about the defendant and the victim.
54:21What 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, he said, ruining 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 throwing herself at him.
55:11But he pushed her away right then.
55:14Your Honor, my son is innocent.
55:16It's all that woman's fault.
55:18She framed my son.
55:20You should arrest her.
55:21Order.
55:21Send her to prison.
55:22Order.
55:24Your Honor, I plead guilty.
55:27No.
55:28No.
55:29Defendant, what did you say?
55:31I plead guilty.
55:32I raped Evelyn.
55:34It is absolutely true.
55:44Since the defendant has voluntarily pleaded guilty, this court will recess immediately for final deliberations.
55:50Why?
55:51Why on earth did you plead guilty?
55:54A son pays his mother's debts.
55:56You know everything?
55:59From now on, you don't have a son.
56:02Upon deliberation between this court and the jury, the 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.
57:07Is it very busy today?
57:10You all look so exhausted.
57:11Yes, 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?
57:38Don't worry.
57:40Captain 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.
57:54It'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.
58:26I would trade all the remaining wishes of my life just for his safe return.
58:43I've never believed in God.
