Short filmTranscript
00:01My daughter, your father and your six brothers have all fallen in this war.
00:08All I ask is that when this battle is over, you bury your war honors and live as a proper
00:14young lady ought to live.
00:16We can't hold the line much longer!
00:18Mother, if I make it home alive, then I give you my word.
00:24I will marry well.
00:32Sophie, when I come back, I will give you the grandest wedding anyone's ever seen.
00:37Until then, you take good care of yourself.
00:46All right.
00:48I'll bring your mother to Sutton Estate and care for her in your place.
00:52And then I'll wait for you to come home.
01:08Evelyn and I were married at the front.
01:12Still, if you wished, I could arrange a place for you in my household.
01:16You said when you came back, you'd give me a grand wedding.
01:22When I proposed to you, it was because I thought you were a suitable match.
01:26But now, in my heart, Evelyn is the woman I truly love.
01:34Is that so, Evelyn?
01:38I want to meet her.
01:44That's the war hero from the papers, isn't it?
01:46That's her, Lord.
01:48She's so cool.
01:52Mother.
01:55Allow me to introduce her.
01:56This is Evelyn, my wife, whom I married while serving in the army.
02:00So this is a true war hero.
02:02The bearing, the presence.
02:08Any fool can see she's no ordinary woman.
02:17Sophie!
02:18Good, you're here.
02:19Meet Evelyn properly.
02:24From now on, you'll be the one taking care of her and Nathan.
02:27Look after them?
02:29Miss Sophie has bent over backward for the Blake family all year, all for nothing!
02:36You want me to take care of them?
02:38Of course.
02:41Nathan and I both have duties to the army.
02:43We may be called back to the front at any moment, but you?
02:47You've spent your life away from the front.
02:49You don't understand what it takes out there.
02:51Aside from managing a household, what role do you think you can play?
02:56Do not forget this.
02:57I am a general's daughter.
03:02My father and my six brothers all died on the battlefield as well.
03:05That was your father and your brothers, not you.
03:09You just tend to the household.
03:11And when Evelyn and I have children, you'll take care of them too.
03:17I am to raise your children?
03:19If you want a child too, I can give you one.
03:23But after that, I will never touch you again.
03:26And do you agree to this?
03:28I'm not a petty woman.
03:31I can allow you to have a child.
03:33That way, you'll at least have something to hold on to in the future.
03:40As for whether Nathan will still want your bed after that, that is hardly my concern.
03:46After that, I won't be going to her bed again.
03:48You're the only one in my heart.
03:49And do you agree as well?
03:51You can keep the house, raise the child, and free the two of them from every worry.
03:56It's a fine arrangement.
04:02Is that so?
04:03So, the longer I listen to the three of you, the more it sounds like, in your version of things,
04:08I am the outsider here.
04:11In that case, Nathan and I should simply end the engagement.
04:17Why drag this into something so ugly?
04:20Sophie, don't be foolish.
04:21You're the only one left in your family now.
04:24With an estate this large and this much land, do you truly think a woman alone can hold it?
04:28That's right, Sophie.
04:29Sophie, if this is what troubles you, on certain occasions, I can even tell people you're my wife.
04:34And if it truly means that much to you, I can even give you a small wedding.
04:41This is outrageous.
04:43For the past year, my lady treated your mother like royalty.
04:47She even paid for a private doctor to tend to your mother day after day.
04:52And now you want to get the Sutton estate and everything that comes with it?
04:57You're a servant.
04:57How dare you stand there and run your mouth like that?
05:03Mary is mine.
05:04No one lays a hand on my people.
05:06Sophie, you're nothing but an orphan now.
05:09You can protect no one.
05:10If you truly dare to break off your engagement to Nathan, this whole town will laugh you into the ground.
05:14You still won't be able to hold on to the Sutton estate.
05:17Is that so?
05:18Then stand there and watch whether I keep it or not.
05:21Steward.
05:25Miss.
05:25Add up everything Mrs. Blake's at Sutton estate this past year.
05:29Every last penny.
05:29What?
05:32Yes, miss.
05:33Finest tea, imported sweet wine, custom gowns, jewelry repairs, daily meals, coal for the winter farth,
05:40as well as the family doctor's fees for the full year, medicine costs, and nursing expenses.
05:44Grand total?
05:46Twenty-three thousand dollars.
05:52You dare ask me to pay you?
05:55Sophie, don't push this too far.
05:58Steward, show them out.
06:01How dare you?
06:14How dare Sophie do this to me?
06:16Enough.
06:18The Blakes are an old family too.
06:19We do not need the Suttons to keep us afloat.
06:21We can manage just fine on our own.
06:25Let's go home.
06:40It's fine.
06:42No one's lived here for the past year.
06:44That's all this is.
06:47Truth is,
06:49the family money's mostly gone.
06:51It was spent long ago.
07:00It's fine.
07:01Tomorrow, I'll speak to the Pioneer.
07:03Sophie abused a war hero.
07:05It's mother too.
07:06And then she demanded a fortune from us.
07:07The whole town ought to hear about that.
07:09I will make her pay back every last thing she owes the Blakes family.
07:20Miss!
07:23How can they twist the truth like that?
07:32There she is!
07:33That's her!
07:34The woman who abused a war hero!
07:36Give Mrs. Blake her money back!
07:41What are you talking about?
07:42That's not what happened!
07:46Wicked woman!
07:47Give the hero's family their money back!
07:55Open the gate!
07:58Get out of here!
08:10Stand down!
08:15Isn't that General Lucas?
08:18The one who led the cavalry through three enemy fire lines at Wilton?
08:22I heard he's covered in honors.
08:24Even the district commander thinks highly of him.
08:27Seven members of the Sutton family died on the battlefield.
08:32A father.
08:33Six sons.
08:34That family has already given everything to this war.
08:37And what are you doing now, if not bullying a hero's family?
08:41Now leave.
08:43This instant.
08:46Or I'll have the sheriff deal with a lot of you.
09:13That day, she was ordered to ride to the eastern line with reinforcements.
09:17But by the time she got there, the men holding that position were already dead.
09:22Fill the gas!
09:43What the hell is going on?
09:44Weren't they nearly wiped out?
09:47There's still someone on the right!
09:50Weren't we told this is all that was left of them?
09:57Dear God.
09:59One of the reinforcements coming.
10:00I can't hold much longer.
10:13I can't hold much longer.
10:24They're holding that line hard.
10:26There must still be plenty of men up there.
10:30Move!
10:41I see her!
10:42It's just one person!
10:43Shoot her down!
10:55She held that breach alone.
10:56And by sheer will, she held the entire eastern line.
11:03He saved me that day.
11:07Ma'am, I have come to ask for Sophie's hand.
11:11I will protect her for the rest of my life.
11:13She will never have to carry everything and everything alone again.
11:19General Lucas, I already gave my word to the Blake family.
11:23Once the Suttons make a promise, we do not break it.
11:28From that day on, I decided I would never marry.
11:33But I still couldn't help myself.
11:35I had to come see how she was living.
11:38I never thought I'd find her being treated like this.
11:49Miss Sophie, I did not come here to pity you.
11:55I came to honor you.
11:57To thank the Sutton family for all it gave to this country.
12:01And to thank you for holding that eastern line all by yourself.
12:11I want to help you.
12:13And how do you mean to help me?
12:21Sophia Sutton? Edward Sutton's daughter?
12:24Yes, sir.
12:26That family's given everything for the cause. How is she faring now?
12:30Her fiancé, Nathan, married Evelyn at the front.
12:34And now, they're asking Sophie to become Nathan's mistress.
12:38That is completely unacceptable.
12:42Nathan's behavior may be dishonorable, but Evelyn is our new war hero.
12:46I cannot tear apart a hero's marriage.
12:49But...
12:53The one who held the eastern line by herself, that was her?
12:59Yes, sir.
13:01Why in God's name am I only hearing of this now?
13:04After that battle, a foray high in Jospin.
13:07Her mother wanted it kept secret that she'd ever gone to war.
13:10So she could marry and live a peaceful life.
13:15So the truth was kept secret.
13:21I want to see her.
13:25Sir.
13:27The soldier in that report was holding the breach under artillery fire with not another soul beside her.
13:36And to think it was a woman who looked so slim.
13:40On the battlefield, bullets do not turn aside just because I'm a woman, sir.
13:45You are an extraordinary woman, Miss Sutton.
13:49But I must speak plainly.
13:52Evelyn is the most celebrated war hero in the entire republic right now.
14:00Evelyn is the most celebrated war hero in the entire republic right now.
14:10I cannot step in on your behalf and be the man who tears apart her marriage.
14:14I have no interest in tearing apart their marriage.
14:17I do not love Nathan Blake.
14:21I came here for one thing only.
14:24I want you to stand behind the truth that my engagement to Nathan Blaine should have been ended from the
14:30start.
14:31I want you to know, and I want the whole town to know, the one who broke faith was not
14:36me.
14:37And what else?
14:40I want back in the army.
14:41To speak plainly, I am surprised.
14:44And glad.
14:46A woman like you was never meant to be buried and forgotten.
14:51But seven members of the Sutton family have already died in this war.
14:58I do not have the heart to send you back to the front.
15:04The fighting in the south is growing worse, and Blackstone Valley could be pulled into it again at any moment.
15:10I only want to do my part.
15:14I only want to do my part.
15:16Very well.
15:18Place her under your command.
15:20And remember, you must bring her back alive.
15:24Yes, sir.
15:32It's all right.
15:33I've got you.
15:35She actually dared to come back?
15:37Wasn't it all in the paper?
15:38She threw Mrs. Blake right out of the estate.
15:41She is no proper lady at all.
15:44I took care of her for a whole year, and now she has the nerve to ask me for money.
15:52Miss Sutton, is it true you drove Mrs. Blake out of the estate?
15:56Did you truly demand a large sum of money from the Blake family?
15:58Were you taking revenge because your engagement was broken?
16:01Enough.
16:02Oh, my God.
16:03Oh, my God.
16:07Miss Sophia Sutton asked me to share these with everyone.
16:11They may help clear up a few misunderstandings about her engagement to Nathan Blaine.
16:17That engagement is hereby declared null and void.
16:22On account of Mr. Blake first breaking his promise and entering into another marriage.
16:27Miss Sutton never broke her word, nor did she commit any so-called ingratitude or cruel expulsion.
16:34This bears the general's own signature and seal.
16:40That's impossible.
16:41There is one more thing the whole town ought to know.
16:45For the past year, Mrs. Blake has been living at Sutton Estate.
16:49Her food, her clothes, her doctor, her medicine, her daily expenses,
16:53even her luxuries were all paid for by Miss Sutton.
16:56Then the ungrateful ones are...
16:58The Blake family's got some mighty thick skin.
17:02You think one piece of paper can clear her name?
17:04At the very least, it proves she was not the one who broke faith.
17:17Sophie actually dared to humiliate me in public today!
17:20Oh!
17:21Oh!
17:22Oh!
17:25This place feels suffocating!
17:29Then you never should have left Sutton Estate in the first place.
17:34How dare you speak to me that way!
17:36If it hadn't been for you...
17:38Enough!
17:39We still have a wedding to prepare for.
17:42Of course.
17:46I think we should invite Sophie.
17:48Have you lost your mind?
17:50Why would you do that?
17:51I want her to see it with her own eyes.
17:58Everything she's lost.
18:06Okay.
18:08She really had to make a show of it.
18:11She even sent the invitation all the way to the States, so now Miss Sophie has to go.
18:17We did know each other once.
18:19I should go congratulate them.
18:27I now pronounce you husband and wife.
18:41Miss, why is everyone leaving?
18:44My congratulations, Mrs. Blake.
18:49Now that the ceremony is over, we'll be taking our leave.
18:53Leaving so soon? The reception has only just begun.
19:03This sort of setting does not quite suit a lady of my standing.
19:15This is the wedding you gave me?
19:18The ceremony wasn't even over before half the guests walked out.
19:24You humiliated me in front of everyone!
19:26I sold the last few pieces of land we had left just to pay for this wedding.
19:30If you ask me, it was those low-class people you invited who scared off the respectable guests.
19:35Low-class?
19:35Are you calling my people low-class?
19:38You two stop already!
19:49Miss Sophie!
19:50How lovely of you to come to Nathan's wedding and mine!
19:54Mary!
20:04You even know how to send your former fiancée a proper wedding gift.
20:08Just like your father.
20:10Even in the Black Creek fire, he still wore his uniform neat as ever.
20:16How would she know? Details like that about my father at Black Creek?
20:20The gift has been delivered. I should be going now.
20:26For a house lady like you, Miss Sophia, this must be your first military wedding.
20:33Why not stay a while longer? It might be... interesting.
20:42My father died in the Battle of Black Creek.
20:45And in that fire, how would Evelyn know details that were never made public?
20:50Mary, go find my teacher, General Howard. I want the truth about what happened at Black Creek.
20:54Yes, Miss.
21:00Miss Sophie, since you're here, open your eyes and watch closely.
21:04This is how a gun is truly handled.
21:26Why is it jammed?
21:30You didn't even set the hammer to half cap.
21:32Load it like that and of course it'll go wrong.
21:34And what would you know about it?
21:37I can't stand the hammer.
22:06Bullseye.
22:09Isn't she supposed to be some society lady?
22:12Sophie, how do you even...
22:14And one more thing, you cap it last.
22:17If the ball isn't seated all the way, the gun can blow.
22:20If you'd fumbled it any worse just now, the one dead would have been you.
22:37The front is in crisis.
22:42Orders from the front have come in.
22:44All soldiers on leave, report back at once.
22:48At last, I have a chance to prove myself again.
22:52If this goes well for you and Evelyn, things might finally turn around for our family.
23:00Colonel Sutton, prepare to move out at once.
23:05Colonel Sutton, prepare to move out at once.
23:13What did you just say? Why aren't Nathan and I the ones going?
23:17The Major General has granted you newlyweds leave.
23:21Until further notice, you are to remain behind.
23:24Leave. That's one way to say they're staying clear of the front.
23:27Sounds more like being set aside.
23:31Then what exactly is Sophie supposed to be?
23:33Why did you call her Colonel?
23:36Miss Sophie Sutton has been formally commissioned by the Major General of the 7th Military District.
23:41Effective today.
23:43She holds the rank of Colonel.
23:46That's impossible. What could possibly qualify her for a rank like that?
23:51Because at Wilton, during the main assault, she was the first to jump into the enemy trench.
23:55She took out multiple forward gun positions and tore open a breach for the main force.
23:59Because before Black Creek fell, she got 37 civilians and wounded men across the North Bridge and out of the
24:06line of fire alive.
24:11And because at the eastern narrow pass, she held the whole line by herself and kept the enemy pinned down
24:16until reinforcements arrived.
24:20Is that enough for you?
24:26Sophie!
24:29I don't know when you learn to shoot, but riding is no game if you can't ride.
24:46What's all you need to do?
24:49Sophie!
24:56Are you hurt?
25:05Come on
25:06We're riding for the front
25:17What are you doing?
25:19What is it?
25:20Are you reconsidering things now?
25:24What is it?
25:25Are you reconsidering things now?
25:29What gives you the right to lay a hand on him?
25:34That's enough
25:35Don't push this any further
25:38What did the Blake family ever do
25:40To deserve bringing a woman like you into this house?
25:54Miss
25:55General Howard uncovered the truth about what happened at Black Creek
26:02Black Creek came under heavy assault because Julian Vale
26:05The badly wounded son of General Gideon Vale
26:07One of the enemy nation's most feared commanders
26:10Had been captured and was being held at the field hospital in Black Creek
26:18Julian had been stable
26:20But after night watch the wrong medicine was given to him
26:26The wrong medicine was given to him
26:27He went into violent convulsions, stopped breathing and died soon after
26:32The nurse assigned to Julian was Evelyn
26:35This is a statement from a trainee nurse
26:37She passed Julian's room and saw Evelyn panic right after he died
26:40Then Evelyn tried to burn the medical chart, the medicine log and the handover records to destroy the evidence
26:44But the wind was too strong that night and Black Creek was full of wooden buildings
26:48The fire got out of control in no time
26:52What about my father?
26:54Your father General Edward Sutton had been ordered to evacuate the civilians and wounded from Black Creek
27:01When the fire broke out, he did not leave
27:03He led men back in to save people and kept organizing evacuations through the flames
27:08But then the enemy attacked
27:10Your father had no choice but to fight
27:12He was badly outnumbered
27:13And he fell
27:15So my father died because of Evelyn?
27:19Not just your father
27:20Your six brothers died because of her too
27:27Go on
27:29The specifics, we still need to investigate further
27:36Keep investigating
27:37I need to know
27:39What exactly does she have to do with the deaths of my six brothers?
27:43Yes
27:45General Lucas
27:46The frontline military orders have arrived
27:48Evelyn and I request to lead the Iron Cavalage into battle immediately
27:51Our wedding leave is over
27:52As heroes, it is only right that we fight for our country
27:56Besides, we can't let some newly commissioned woman get all the battlefield glory, can we?
28:00The Major General of the 7th Military District just signed
28:03As of today, the Iron Cavalry is under the full command of Colonel Sophie Sutton
28:08You two just need to provide support for port from the rear
28:11What?
28:12The Iron Cavalry is the best in the Republic
28:14And I led them to that hero title
28:16She's been sitting at home for a year
28:17What right does she have to command that?
28:19General, Sophie, Colonel Sutton hasn't set foot on a battlefield in years
28:22The Iron Cavalry needs a commander with real experience
28:24Someone the troops will follow
28:25Are you questioning my decision?
28:28I mean...
28:29She's just trying to steal the credit?
28:31Sophie doesn't care about the country
28:32She's getting back at me and Nathan
28:34Handing the Iron Cavalry over to her, that's playing with everyone's lives
28:37I'm trying to steal credit?
28:38Of course
28:41Fine
28:43Since you think I'm not qualified, I'll give you a chance
28:48Challenge me
28:57You think a housewife like you can beat me?
29:01General Lucas
29:02I request a challenge against Sophie tomorrow
29:05Fine
29:06But if you lose
29:07You'll lose all credit for the Southern Front
29:09And hand over command of all your current troops
29:12Clear
29:13What if she loses?
29:14If Sophie loses, the Iron Cavalry gets transferred
29:16Why, she will only lose his one regiment
29:18But if I lose, I lose everything
29:20The challenger is supposed to put up a bigger stake
29:23Not enough
29:23One more thing
29:24If you lose
29:25You hand over the Iron Cavalry
29:27And for the rest of your life
29:28You will never set foot on a battlefield again
29:41I accept
29:43Evelyn, isn't this too risky?
29:49Ridiculous
29:49Ridiculous
29:50I won't lose to a worthless like her
30:01Use this
30:07A wooden stick
30:08The general won her die, does he?
30:10Evelyn's got a real sword
30:11How's she supposed to fight with a wooden stick?
30:12Calm down, Sophie
30:14I've been holding back for way too long
30:16I'm going to make her pay
30:17Don't worry
30:18I'll get to the bottom of everything
30:19Your whole family's deaths
30:20Oh
30:22Coming at me with a stick
30:24Sophie
30:26I know you've been riding on your family's dead war heroes
30:29To get glory
30:30But you'll never be as good as me
30:32We're the ones risking our necks on the front line
30:34Shedding blood
30:35Killing enemies
30:36And in the end
30:36All the credit goes to some woman
30:38Who only got ahead because of her family name
30:40Exactly what makes her a colonel
30:41Just because her dad's a general
30:43Evelyn, beat her to a pump
30:44Evelyn
30:45Shut up
30:46One more word
30:47You'll face court-martial
30:51All because of you
30:53My father died in that fire at Black Creek
30:56And my six brothers
30:57There is no need
30:59Evelyn will beat you
31:05Step back
31:09Arm duel
31:10Whoever knocks the other off their horse first wins
31:13Begin
31:33That strike from Sophie
31:34Was brutal
31:36Evelyn nearly got knocked off her horse

31:48That wooden stick
31:49General Lucas gave it to you
31:51Is it modified or something?
31:54Impossible
31:54I'm a cavalry soldier
31:55How can I get beaten like this by some stick?
31:58The stick has got to be modified
32:01Yeah, unfair
32:02There must be something wrong with that stick
32:04Yes
32:05That's not fair
32:06Look closely
32:14Again
32:15Don't get cocky
32:29Stop playing tricks
32:44Hmm
32:46Hmm
32:47Hmm
32:48Hmm
33:12I'll kill you!
