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