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

00:54:48ordinary life
00:54:48however the defendant sebastian hastings used his status and power to commit an atrocious assault against this helpless woman on
00:54:54the night of the incident miss evelyn had just celebrated her
00:54:57birthday she regarded the defendant as a friend perhaps even more and the defendant
00:55:01exploited that trust the trust of a friend
