00:17Oh, dear God, keep it down.
00:20Don't wait, Mary.
00:24She won't.
00:25She won't know what we're doing.
00:27Mary, she's just a child.
00:34I was eight that year.
00:35I woke up and saw my gardeness messing around with my father, right there in my bedroom.
00:46Jane didn't just seduce my father.
00:48She swundled him out of every penny he had.
00:52My father was beaten to death by loan shark.
00:56My sister was assaulted and killed by them.
01:01My mother slit her wrists.
01:06Jane, oh Jane.
01:08I swear.
01:10Even if I have to go to hell, I will make you pay in blood.
01:35Hello, my name is Evelyn.
01:38I saw in the newspaper that you are looking for a maid.
01:42Jane, I'm here.
01:51Are you ready?
02:03You're from New Jersey, America.
02:05An orphan?
02:07Yes, madam.
02:09I grew up in an orphanage in New Jersey and later came to London.
02:13I worked as a maid for Mrs. Smith for three years.
02:15Why did you leave?
02:17Mr. Smith went to war and didn't come back.
02:19Mrs. Smith returned to America.
02:22You have a cheap but pretty face.
02:26It'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.
02:36But if you don't do well, you will be fired.
02:41Since I'm here, I won't leave until I drag you to hell.
02:47By the way, I despise people who think they're clever.
02:50If 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.
02:58Very well.
02:59Run along now.
03:08You swindled my father out of everything.
03:11And the next thing you know, you're married to Lord Hastings.
03:15Jane, oh Jane, even Satan would envy your luck.
03:21Let me strip you back to what you truly are.
03:46It's been so late and you are still working.
03:52My lord, madam asked me to organize these books tonight.
04:04Are you the new American girl?
04:08Yes, my lord.
04:10My name is Evelyn.
04:19Just arrived.
04:21Are you settling in?
04:22If you need anything,
04:25you can come to me.
04:34My lord, you are drunk.
04:35Let me call your valet to take you back to your room.
04:38No need for anyone else.
04:40You take me back.
04:43My lord, I am just a lowly maid.
04:44I have no right to enter the master's quarters.
04:48My lord, you need some water to sober up.
04:52A lowly maid, indeed.
04:55At least you know your place.
05:07My lady.
05:11I just saw my husband leaving.
05:14What did you talk about?
05:16My lord was drunk.
05:17He asked me to pour him a glass of water.
05:21I saw everything.
05:23At least you have some sense.
05:24It's my duty.
05:32Do you know what to do from now on?
05:34Yes, 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.

12:30oh
12:32oh my god
12:43Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
12:46Is that Lady Hastings?
12:48Heavens, he's simply standing us.
12:51I truly feel for Lord Hastings.
12:54He is such an upright man, yet he's been subjected to such terrible humiliation.
12:58And Sebastian, he will also feel ashamed of his mother.
13:02Jane, didn't you love having people watch you in bed?
13:06You must have thoroughly enjoyed this show.
13:15Get a divorce.
13:19William, let me explain.
13:20No need. You have trampled on my dignity. Don't insult my intelligence.
13:25We must divorce.
13:31If you want a divorce, fine. I will take my dowie with me.
13:35I signed an agreement with you back then.
13:37You could use my money to run your estate.
13:39But if we ever divorce, I can take all of my money back.
13:42You'd better think about it.
13:43What does Hastings have left now besides an Earl title in this old house?
13:47Without me, you can't even keep this house.
13:50Still want a divorce?
13:56I know everything about your fling with that Polish widow.
13:59Let's call it quits.
14:06Do you think he knows about this?
14:08Probably not. It's too embarrassing. If it were me, I wouldn't even step out of the house.
14:12Not necessarily. After all, the Earl isn't his real father either. He should be used to it by now.
14:17Used to having multiple fathers? Little Hastings searching for his daddies.
14:21Who are you talking about?
14:23May I ask, what were you just talking about?
14:24So you really don't know. That wantal mother of yours is famous all over England now.
14:31What is that supposed to mean?
14:32Last week, at least dozens of guests saw your mother screwing a Yankee in your home with their own eyes.
14:38Say that again.
14:39I said, your mother is a...
15:04You haven't been home in a long time.
15:06You should have told me in advance, so I could have them prepare.
15:10This is mother's home, not mine.
15:14You shouldn't say that, Sebastian.
15:18In the future, everything of mother's will be yours, including this home.
15:24Thank you, but you know this is not what I want.
15:28So what do you want?
15:30I want a normal person's life.
15:33What on earth do you mean by that?
15:35Wherever I go these days, people whisper and point behind my back, gossiping about my mother's affairs.
15:45How I wish that when others talk about you, I could reprimand them with a clear conscience.
15:53But I cannot.
15:57Because I know my mother better than anyone.
16:01Are you accusing your mother?
16:03If I hadn't secured a decent life for you, you would still be selling sweet potatoes on New York's Lower
16:09East Street.
16:09Where I was born was not my choice.
16:12At least I can choose where I die in the future.
16:14Really?
16:15If I had a choice back then, I wouldn't have given birth to you.
16:18Anyone can accuse me, but you can't!
16:21If I am truly that important, please consider me before you indulge yourself in the future.
16:26So, this is where your weakness lies.
16:39It's you.
16:40Jane's son is actually him.
16:44Evelyn!
16:47Why are you still standing there instead of cleaning this up immediately?
17:05Young Master, the guests need to bring you some warm milk.
17:08Young Master, this is the warm milk the kitchen asked me to bring to you.
17:13Thank you, but I do not have the habit of eating at night.
17:17Then, perhaps I could keep you company for a chat.
17:21Or do something else.
17:24What is your name?
17:26Violet. My name is Violet.
17:27Young Master. Young Master, I was already here when you returned last year.
17:30Violet, go back to your room. Do not do this again in the future.
17:33Young Master, I...
17:34Please leave.
17:37Could you please not tell anyone?
17:39Especially the mistress.
17:41I won't tell anyone.
17:48You saw everything?
17:49Yes, Young Master.
17:51I won't say a word.
17:53Your name is Evelyn?
17:54Yes, Young Master. Do you have any orders for me?
17:57No, nothing.
18:06Violet.
18:08Madam, I was only delivering milk.
18:20Dressed like a slut, and you were only delivering milk.
18:24Do you take me for a fool?
18:26How did she find out?
18:29Madam, please don't throw me out!
18:31My father will beat me to death!
18:33Then let him beat you to death.
18:35Foolish, wishful-thinking idiot.
18:37No!
18:39You saw all that?
18:40Good.
18:41I hope you take it as a warning.
18:43Yes, madam.
18:49I thought there would be some neutral understanding between people with similar fates.
18:53I know what you're suspecting, but I wasn't the informant.
18:57But only you saw it last night.
18:58If it wasn't you, and it wasn't me, did she tell on herself?
19:02Master, I am not a detective.
19:05If you have suspicions, you should investigate them yourself.
19:09If you have no further orders, you should let me go.
19:13I don't want Madam to misunderstand me.
19:15Misunderstand you about what?
19:17Misunderstand that I am seducing you.
19:29That bitch, trying to cut ties with me now that she's made it big?
19:33No way in hell.
19:39What should I do?
19:43I don't dare go home.
19:53Don't be scared.
19:54Your dad is useless, so I'll be your daddy.
19:57I won't beat you.
19:59No!
20:00No!
20:01Please!
20:02Help!
20:03Save me!
20:05Motherfuck!
20:16You bitch!
20:17How dare you hit me!
20:28You're much more exciting than that little girl.
20:38Let go of my sister!
20:41Let go of my sister!
20:43Let go of my sister!
20:43Let go of my sister!
20:46Let go of my sister!
20:47Let go of my sister!
20:48Let go of my sister!
21:02Evelyn.
21:10Don't be afraid, Evelyn.
21:12It's all right now.
21:17Evelyn!
21:20Not dead.
21:22Good.
21:23Dying would be too easy on you.
21:29That man, has he been sent away?
21:33The police will handle it.
21:34You don't need to worry.
21:36I knew it.
21:37You still care about your mother.
21:39You are my son, after all.
21:41You've lived in England for so long, yet you still keep your American humor.
21:46Of course I didn't do it for you.
21:51Where are you going?
21:52Back to my unit.
21:59He hates me.
22:01Perhaps you're overthinking it.
22:02A telegram just arrived.
22:05The Eighth Army is heading to North Africa.
22:08Good God!
22:10The Eighth Army has arrived in North Africa.
22:13General Montgomery has the Dorthwick's van to the Corp.
22:16It's a public area of fish after swimming.
22:18General Leeson, the Dorthwick, has taken command.
22:21General Leeson.
22:23I wonder how things are at the front.
22:26Madam is so worried, she can't even eat.
22:28Yes, and not just Madam.
22:30Many young men from the town have gone to the front.
22:32Everyone is worried sick right now.
22:33Luckily, I'm an only child, so I don't have to go to the front.
22:36You know, the opponent is Roman.
22:43I'm going to pray.
22:44Are you coming?
22:45Of course.
22:46I'll join you.
22:47I'll head back first, just have a lot of work to do.
23:04You must come back alive.
23:11Breaking news!
23:12The Eighth Army has achieved a decisive victory at Almaraz.
23:16My son is alright.
23:17Raw man, Caswell's forces from Asia...
23:19Congratulations, Madam.
23:29Oh, my son.
23:36You're finally back.
23:37Alright, let our great hero go inside and rest.
23:40Young Master Sebastian is truly young and promising.
23:43The hero of El Almadi.
23:46Let you bastards try and mock me now.
23:56You're the star of the show tonight.
23:57Don't just drink a pillow and share some of your glorious experiences with everyone.
24:01Tonight's roasted lamb chops remind me of the smell of my comrades being blown to pieces.
24:22Shouldn't you be at the victory banquet?
24:24Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
24:26Is there a name you recognize on here?
24:30Their names aren't on here, but their souls must be.
24:34I received a letter a couple of days ago.
24:36Two friends I knew from the orphanage.
24:38Both lost their lives in North Africa.
24:42Are you alright?
24:44We won.
24:45How could I not be alright?
24:47You slipped away from the banquet just because you didn't want to pretend, didn't you?
24:50I'll leave you to it.
24:51I should head back.
24:54If you want to talk, I'm willing to listen.
25:16Master, do you have any orders?
25:19Don't call me Master anymore.
25:21Then what should I call you?
25:22Just call me Seb.
25:24Madam won't be pleased if she finds out.
25:27Would it make you happy to call me that?
25:33Then it would make me happy to.
25:35Then I'll call you that in secret.
25:37Let it be our secret, Seb.
25:41The town hospital is recruiting volunteers to accompany Wounded Soul.
25:44That is, just to talk with them.
25:45Would you like to go?
25:46I would, but...
25:47I'll speak to the butler for you.
25:48You don't have to worry.
26:03You know, in the desert at night, the stars are incredibly bright.
26:07Though I've never seen it, I can imagine.
26:09But they are so bright, it's terrifying.
26:11Because you don't know if you'll still be alive to see the memorial.
26:14Well, it's all over now.
26:20She seems to possess a power.
26:22A power to catch those who are falling.
26:25Mr. Hastings, the volunteer you sent last week.
26:27Miss Evelyn, she's absolutely wonderful.
26:29All the soldiers love her.
26:31I'm glad we could help.
26:32Miss Evelyn, she's so young, yet she has such patience.
26:35Some people come and want to leave after five minutes.
26:37But she can sit there all afternoon.
26:39That amputee soldier hadn't spoken to anyone for three days since he got here.
26:43But once she arrived, he actually started talking.
26:49How was today?
26:50One soldier said he was knocked unconscious on the battlefield
26:53and had a beautiful dream about his hometown's wheat fields and his cows.
26:57When he woke up, he found his leg was gone.
27:00I'm sorry to make you listen to these things every day.
27:02The suffering needs to be heard.
27:05Do you need someone to listen to you too?
27:09It's alright if you don't.
27:10Whenever you're ready, I'll be here to listen.
27:24Don't leave me.
27:25I hate the orphanage.
27:32What is happening to me?
27:41Madam, what are your orders?
27:43What has the young master been doing these past few days?
27:45A young master?
27:47Nothing out of the ordinary.
27:48That's devilish strange.
27:50Have you ever known him to stay here for more than three days in the past?
27:53It's been weeks now and he's in no hurry to return to London.
27:56Don't you find that unusual?
27:57You've been at Hastings for over ten years, haven't you?
27:59I've always trusted you because you never keep secrets from me.
28:02Is that still true?
28:03Madam, the young master has been going to the town hospital quite often these past few weeks.
28:08What is he doing at the hospital?
28:10He recommended Evelyn to the town hospital to work as an aide for the wounded.
28:14He did suddenly ask me to borrow a maid for charity work last time and I didn't think much of
28:18it.
28:19No wonder I haven't seen that little girl around lately.
28:21Are you saying he's been fooling around with that little girl at the hospital every day?
28:26Oh, madam, I never said such a thing.
28:36Madam!
28:43What are you doing here?
28:45Madam, I am a volunteer.
28:46A volunteer?
28:48You're a lowly maid.
28:50What business do you have volunteering?
28:53Madam, please conduct yourself with dignity.
28:56You dare lecture me?
29:00You old whore.
29:01Do you want to hit me again?
29:02You little bitch!
29:04How dare you insult me!
29:06Madam, you're getting old.
29:08You've grown so very slow.
29:18It was this little bitch she...
29:20Enough!
29:25From this moment on, don't let me ever see you hit or abuse anyone again.
29:30Otherwise, I will hate you as I hate an enemy.
29:32Mother.
29:38I apologize on behalf of my mother.
29:40I'm sorry.
29:41You don't need to apologize, Seb.
29:43If 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.
29:49My mother is a terrible person.
29:51Will you distance yourself from me, Seb?
29:53For fear of putting me in danger?
29:55I won't.
29:57Because meeting you is the only good thing that has ever happened in my life.
30:08Come away with me.
30:11Go?
30:14Where?
30:15Anywhere.
30:16London, Scotland, France.
30:18As long as you're willing, we can leave this place.
30:19But why leave?
30:20I don't know what other crazy things she might do.
30:23Seb, I can't.
30:25Why?
30:26This doesn't align with my ideals.
30:30What are your ideals?
30:32To be an ordinary person living an ordinary life.
30:35And a mistress eloping with a man.
30:43I really didn't expect you'd dare to come back.
30:47This is where I work.
30:48Of course I would return.
30:50You think you can still stay here?
30:52Pack your things and get out.
30:54Right now.
30:56That works too.
30:57Then I can live happily ever after with your son.
31:00You little slut!
31:02You shouldn't insult me anymore.
31:04I'm very good at whispering in his ear, you know?
31:14You think you've won?
31:16You little bitch.
31:18It's far from over.
31:30What wind blew you here?
31:32Shouldn't you be upstairs entertaining our distinguished guest from before at this hour?
31:40You know very well I hate socialising, yet you still tease me.
31:44Well, what can we do?
31:46The 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.
32:03My mother invited her.
32:05It's obvious what they're up to.
32:07That's why I suddenly have urgent military business and must go to London.
32:13Poor you.
32:14Come with me.
32:15It'll save you from staying here and dealing with their spine.
32:18Seb, I'm not a child.
32:20I have to face many things on my own.
32:22And have you forgotten I almost killed a piece of trash once?
32:25Wait for me to return.
32:29Your household is quite unique.
32:32Even maids are allowed to serve in the dining room now.
32:35As you know, it's hard enough to find three able-hearted young men in an entire estate these days.
32:40Quite true.
32:43Evelyn, pour some wine for Miss Ashworth.
32:50I heard from my father that even the Queen praised Sebastian's bravery.
32:54Are you serious?
32:55Oh, my goodness.
32:58When will he ever cure himself of this dreadful habit of being overly modest?
33:02You shouldn't say that.
33:05Nowadays, old-fashioned gentlemen like Sebastian are rarer than a rhino's hair.
33:09I'd rather be knocked unconscious right now than listen to the two of them carry on with this chapraide.
33:15I also think so.
33:16And 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?
33:26Don't you already know the answer to that?
33:29Of all the noble ladies in England, you are the only one I wrote to.
33:36A woman's intuition is indeed remarkably accurate.
33:42By the way, Margaret, I heard from your mother that your birthday is in a week.
33:47Seb will surely be back by then.
33:50We must celebrate your birthday.
33:52A ball, hunting, a live band.
33:55I know those are all things you love and excel at.
33:58Madam, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?
34:01Of course not.
34:03Seb loves hunting too.
34:06I'll have him accompany you then.
34:12You seem quite interested in her.
34:17I just feel that she doesn't seem like an ordinary maid.
34:20Oh?
34:21I'm a very good judge of character.
34:24Madam, 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?
34:48No.
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 to ride horses.
35:02I 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.
35:15Father is the best.
35:18Don't cry, Evelyn.
35:19Do not cry until you see blood-red tears streaming from your enemy's eyes.
35:30Are you sure you want to host this birthday banquet?
35:33Margaret isn't even family.
35:35Why go to all this trouble?
35:36Precisely because she isn't.
35:38We must.
35:39Earl Ashington 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.
35:49Your son hasn't even agreed yet.
35:52I know my son better than you do.
35:54He values face and reputation far more than either of us.
36:00Face and reputation.
36:05Stop 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.
36:12Leave the rest to me.
36:16Do 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?
36:31Margaret's birthday is coming up.
36:33I want to host a birthday banquet for her here at the castle.
36:36Doesn't she have her own home?
36:38She is our guest and your friend.
36:40We can't just neglect her.
36:42She is not my friend.
36:43We are barely even acquaintances.
36:45Be that as it may, she is staying here.
36:48If we don't even host a dinner for her birthday, what would people say?
36:52You must think of the Hastings family's reputation.
36:55Do as you wish.
36:57If there's nothing else, I'm going back to London.
36:59You must attend!
37:03On what grounds?
37:04I know you dislike socializing, but 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?
37:18You can bring Evelyn with you.
37:20I know you care about that girl.
37:22But if you want her to be your companion, you should also let her see the world.
37:28Very well.
37:39Young master, there is a call for you.
37:44Sebastian speaking.
37:45Hello, this is the detective agency.
37:48We have the results of the investigation you requested.
37:54Is something on your mind, my melancholy prince?
37:57I remember you saying you grew up in an orphanage.
38:00Yes.
38:01Actually, in a sense, I'm just like you.
38:04You are an orphan with no parents.
38:06And I...
38:08am an orphan with a mother.
38:10Has something happened?
38:12I'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.
38:21I took it upon myself to agree on your behalf.
38:25Sure, I'd love to go with you.
38:42Do I look good?
38:43Without a doubt.
38:47Let's go.
38:54Our hero has arrived.
38:57Evelyn, you look stunning tonight.
39:00Thank you, madam.
39:09Distinguished guests, thank you all for joining us tonight to celebrate Miss Margaret Ashworth's birthday.
39:16On this beautiful occasion, I would like to make an announcement.
39:20The Hastings and Ashworth families will soon be united in marriage.
39:24My son, Sebastian, will be betrothed to Miss Margaret.
39:32Miss Margaret, congratulations.
39:33Young Master Hastings is the hero of El Alamge.
39:35Lord Hastings, congratulations.
39:38I was wondering why Sebastian brought a maid along.
39:40I know, right?
39:41Dressed more decently than the young lady herself.
39:44What an embarrassment.
39:47I do not agree to this marriage, Miss Ashworth.
39:51My 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
40:00and marry into your family himself.
40:08Miss Evelyn, there is something I must say to you.
40:11What words?
40:13I love you, Evelyn.
40:15No matter what, I love you.
40:19Are these tears?
40:22To think I still have such things.
40:26Sebastian, do you have any idea what you are doing?
40:36Do you have anything you want to say to me?
40:40Except what you said just now.
40:42Was it real?
40:44Or did you just do it to spite your mother?
40:46It is real.
40:48It is real.
40:54I actually, I'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?
41:06Can't you?
41:08In my eyes, you have always been a little troublemaker.
41:14I told you my feelings not to burden you, but to let you know that in this world you are
41:19no longer alone.
41:30He is wonderful, but 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.
42:01If I were you, living under your enemy's roof, I would sleep one eye open, wouldn't you?
42:09You might as well sleep plainly, madam.
42:11Mary Elizabeth Thornton.
42:13Born in 1921, New York.
42:16Father David Thornton, wealthy Manhattan businessman.
42:20Mother Kathleen Thornton.
42:21Sister Sophia Thornton.
42:23When Little Mary was eight, her governess and her gangster boyfriend collided to squeal 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.
42:58Am 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.
43:18Doesn't that make us even?
43:19How is that the same?
43:20No 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?
43:40Guilt?
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, 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.
45:18Do 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.
45:33I'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.
45:55Align the sight here, steady your breathing, and then pull the trigger.
46:04I 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.
48:24I 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.
49:13You say that again?
49:16Evelyn accused the young master of raping her.
49:19The young master has been arrested.
49:22My lady!
49:23My lady!
49:23Someone come quickly!
49:25Call a doctor!
49:27The doctor has been.
49:29He said you're fine.
49:30Just suffered a shock.
49:31A lawyer.
49:32Get me a lawyer.
49:33The 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?
50:10Sebastian, speak.
50:11Tell the lawyer you're innocent.
50:13You've been framed.
50:14Please say something.
50:16Please take me back.
50:18Yes, Lord.
50:24Well, well.
50:25You 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.
50:34In the orphanage, you have to fight for your food.
50:36An old hag like you wants to hit me.
50:40Look 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?
50:51Can 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?
50:59I 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?
51:40Please, take a seat.
51:41She 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?
51:59Now 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.
52:10But to be even frankly, you do not deserve a good son, status, reputation, or any of those noble things.
52:23Your Honor, 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
52:32ordinary 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?
53:15No, he just sat there, smoking.
53:18Mr. Hastings, do you have anything to say?
53:22No.
53:23Speak 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 pleated guilty by default.
53:39Your Honor, I...
53:41May I... May I say something?
53:44If it has nothing to do with this case, then please don't.
53:46It... It is... about... the 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... saved me.
54:10He saved me and Evelyn.
54:15Your Honor, I also have something to say.
54:18About the defendant... and... the victim.
54:22What 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?
54:32It 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.
54:41Seeing 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?
54:51I 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.
55:05Go on, sir.
55:06When I went out to throw away the trash, I saw the lady...
55:09I saw the lady throwing herself at him.
55:12But he pushed her away right then.
55:14Your Honor, my son is innocent.
55:17It's all that woman's fault.
55:18She framed my son.
55:20You should arrest her.
55:21Send her to prison.
55:22Order.
55:25Your Honor, I plead guilty.
55:27No!
55:29Defendant, what did you say?
55:31I plead guilty.
55:33I raped Evelyn.
55:34It is absolutely true.
55:45Since the defendant has voluntarily pleaded guilty, this court will recess immediately for final deliberations.
55:51Why?
55:52Why on earth did you plead guilty?
55:54A son pays his mother's debts.
55:56You...
55:57You 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.
56:17My lady, you don't have to sign it now.
56:19You can take your time to consider.
56:27I have no son anymore.
56:29What's the use of a son?
56:32Useless.
56:35Everything is gone.
56:37Everything has been taken away.
56:38That's fine.
56:39Peace and quiet.
56:41I am the countess.
56:42Even though I have nothing left, I am still the countess.
57:08Is it very busy today?
57:10You all look so exhausted.
57:12Yes, many wounded soldiers have been sent from the front line.
57:20Miss Evelyn.
57:23Jack.
57:24What are you doing here?
57:25I came to visit some old comrades.
57:27I heard they were sent here.
57:28Oh, by the way, Captain Sebastian went to the front line this time too.
57:31Do you have any news of him?
57:32You haven't heard?
57:33I thought you two were quite close.
57:35Has he gone to war?
57:37Is he doing okay?
57:38Don't worry.
57:39Captain Sebastian fights very bravely.
57:40He'll definitely return in triumph.
57:42Fights bravely.
57:44You really didn't have to comfort me.
57:47Excuse me, is this Lord Hastings?
57:49Speaking.
57:50May I ask who is calling?
57:52Good afternoon, Lord Hastings.
57:54It's Evelyn.
57:54Good afternoon.
57:55To what do I owe the pleasure of your call, Miss?
57:58Do you know how Seb is doing lately?
58:01Oh, you want to know how Sebastian is doing?
58:04His sentence was cut short.
58:06And he has been recalled to the front line.
58:14If you would like to pray, you are welcome to join us inside.
58:17I've never believed in God.
58:19Can I still pray?
58:20Anyone can pray to God.
58:26I would trade all the remaining wishes of my life just for his safe return.
58:50Sepp.
58:51Shhh.
58:51I love you.
58:51I love you.
58:52I love you.
58:52Jasper.
