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.
01:36I saw in the newspaper that you are looking for a maid.
01:39Follow me inside.
01:47Jane, I'm here.
01:50Are you ready?
02:03You're from New Jersey, America.
02:05An orphan?
02:06Yes, madam.
02:08I grew up in an orphanage in New Jersey and later came to London.
02:12I worked as a maid for Mrs. Smith for three years.
02:14Why did you leave?
02:16Mr. Smith went to war and didn't come back.
02:18Mrs. Smith returned to America.
02:21You 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.
02:58Run along now.
03:07You swindled my father out of everything.
03:10And the next thing you know, you're married to Lord Hastings?
03:14Jane, oh Jane, even Satan would envy your luck.
03:20Let me strip you back to what you truly are.
03:44It's been so late.
03:46And you are still working?
03:51My lord, madam ask me to organise these books tonight.
04:03Are you the new American girl?
04:07Yes, my lord.
04:09My name is Evelyn.
04:18Just arrived.
04:20Are you settling in?
04:21If you need anything, you can come to me.
04:33My lord, you are drunk.
04:34Let me call your valet to take you back to your room.
04:36No need for anyone else.
04:39You take me back.
04:41My lord, I am just a lowly maid.
04:43I have no right to enter the master's quarters.
04:47My lord, you need some water to sober up.
04:50A lowly maid, indeed.
04:53At least you know your place.
05:06My lady.
05:09I 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.
05:23My 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.
05:36I will do my best to avoid Lord Hastings.
05:37I will do my best to avoid Lord Hastings.
06:05Jane's old flame, Sean O'Donnell, Westside, Manhattan, New York.

32:41quite true
32:44evelyn
32:45pour some wine for miss ashworth
32:50i heard from my father that even the queen praised sebastian's bravery
32:55are you serious
32:56oh my goodness
32:58when will he ever cure himself of this dreadful habit of being overly modest
33:03you shouldn't say that
33:05nowadays old-fashioned gentlemen like sebastian are rarer than a rhino's hair
33:10i'd rather be knocked unconscious right now than listen to the two of them carry on with this cheprade
33:15i also think so
33:16and because he is so precious
33:18there are always those who hyper unrealistic fantasies about him
33:22madam
33:22what 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
33:32you are the only one i wrote

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 i don't want to learn
34:46darling
34:47don't you want to be a lady
34:49no

39:47i do not agree to this marriage
39:49miss ashfield

40:47it is real
40:55i actually
40:56i'm really not that good
40:59that doesn't sound like something you would say
41:02what if you discover that i'm
41:04actually a very bad person
41:07aren't you
41:08in my eyes 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
41:19you are no longer alone
41:30he is wonderful
41:33but not nearly enough to make me let go of my hatred
41:43stop right there
41:51did you sleep well last night
41:54of course madam
41:57that's why i actually admire you
42:02if i were you

42:09you might as well sleep plainly madam
42:10mary elizabeth thornton
42:12born in 1921 new york
42:16father david thornton
42:18wealthy manhattan businessman
42:19mother katherine thornton
42:21sister sophia thornton
42:23when little mary was eight
42:24her governess and her gangster boyfriend
42:26collided to squeal the thorntons out of everything
42:28david thornton was beaten to death by lone harks
42:31sophia thornton was violated to death
42:33katherine thornton slit her wrists
42:35little 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
42:58am i right
42:59i really didn't recognize that little bastard who cowered on her tiny bed
43:04watching me sleep with her father without daring to utter a single sound
43:08had grown up to be so big
43:11you knew i was awake
43:12i figured you did
43:14yes i knew
43:15your father took advantage of me and now my son takes advantage of you
43:18doesn't that make us even
43:19how 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
43:33in all these years has there been even a single moment when you felt a shred of guilt for what
43:37you did
43:40guilt
43:42oh young lady you are delightfully naive
43:44it is a dog eat dog world
43:46that old horny dog of a father of yours deserved to pay for his lust
43:50as for your sister
43:52she 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
44:02look 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
44:33since the day you left home i have departed from the castle and checked into the red lion inn in

52:25miss evelyn grew up in an orphanage
52:26with no parents and no one to rely on
52:28she came to england through her own hard work
52:29to become a maid
52:30wanting nothing more than to live an ordinary life
52:32however the defendant sebastian hastings
52:34used his status and power
52:35to commit an atrocious assault
52:36against this helpless woman
52:38on the night of the incident
52:39miss evelyn had just celebrated her birthday
52:41she regarded the defendant as a friend
52:43perhaps even more
52:44and the defendant
52:45exploited that trust
52:46the trust of a friend
52:47what did you see near the crime scene that night
52:51i i came out of the pub
52:52and heard someone calling for help
52:54then i saw a young woman
52:55that lady over there
52:56running toward me barefoot
52:58trembling all over
52:58crying so hard she couldn't speak
53:00when you saw her what did she say
53:01she she pointed at a car
53:03parked on the roadside
53:04saying the man inside
53:05raped her
53:06and did you see the defendant at that time
53:07yes i did
53:08he was sitting inside that luxury car
53:09what was he doing at the time
53:10uh he was smoking
53:12he looked quite relaxed

54:19and
54:20the victim
54:21what testimony do you have to offer
54:24just like that young lady
54:25i absolutely do not believe the defendant would commit rape
54:29do you have any evidence
54:31it goes like this
54:33last year
54:33around october
54:34this 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
54:42they secretly drugged her drink
54:44just as the scoundrels were about to take her away
54:46mr hastings scared them off with a gun
54:47i asked him afterwards
54:48aren't you afraid of going to prison for hurting someone
54:50i remember him saying
54:51he said
54:52ruining a rapist is worth going to prison for
54:54look at me seb
