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
02:39of 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 i 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 and when evelyn and i have children you'll take care of them too

03:31i can allow you to have a child that way you'll at least have something to hold on to in
03:35the future

03:50and you agree as well you can keep the house raise the child and free the two of them from
03:55every worry

04:02is that so the longer i listen to the three of you the more it sounds like
04:06in your version of things i am the outsider here

04:28can hold it that's right sophie if this is what troubles you on certain occasions i can even tell
04:33people you're my wife and if it truly means that much to you i can even give you a small
04:38wedding

08:28seven members of the sutton family died on the battlefield
08:32a father six sons that family has already given everything to this war
08:37and what are you doing now if not bullying a hero's family now leave this 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

10:25they're holding that line hard there must still be plenty of men up there
10:30move
10:40i see her it's just one person shoot her down
10:55she held that breach alone and by sheer will she held the entire eastern line
11:04he 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
11:20general lucas i already gave my word to the blake family
11:24once the sutton's 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
11:36i had to come see how she was living i never thought i'd find her being treated like this
11:49miss sophie
11:50miss 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
12:09thank you
12:11i want to help you
12:13and how do you mean to help me
12:21sophia sutton edward sutton's daughter yes sir
12:26that family's given everything for the cause how is she faring now
12:30her fiancee nathan married evelyn at the front
12:34and now they're asking sophie to become nathan's mistress that is completely unacceptable
12:42nathan's behavior may be dishonorable but evelyn is our new war hero
12:47i cannot tear apart a hero's marriage but
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 after that battle
13:05a foray high in joss her mother wanted it kept secret that she'd ever gone to war
13:10so she could marry and live a peaceful life
13:16so the truth was kept secret
13:21i want to see her
13:27the soldier in that report was holding the breach under artillery fire with not another soul
13:34beside 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
13:53evelyn 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
14:09i 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 i 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 blake should have been
14:29ended from the start i want you to know and i want the whole town to know the one who
14:35broke faith
14:36was not me and what else i want back in the army to speak plainly i am surprised and 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
15:09moment i only want to do my part
15:14i only want to do my part very well place her under your command and remember you must bring her
15:22back
15:23alive she actually dared to come back wasn't it all in the paper she threw mrs blake right out of
15:40the
15:40estate she is no proper lady at all i took care of her for a whole year and now she
15:46has the nerve to ask
15:47me for money
15:53miss sutton is it true you drove mrs blake out of the estate did you truly demand a large sum
15:57of
15:57money from the blake family were you taking revenge because your engagement was broken enough
16:08miss sophia sutton asked me to share these with everyone
16:11they may help clear up a few misunderstandings about her engagement to nathan blake
16:18that 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 there is one more thing the whole town ought to know
16:45for the past year mrs blake has been living at sutton estate her food her clothes her doctor her
16:52medicine her daily expenses even her luxuries were all paid for by miss sutton then the ungrateful ones
16:57are the blake family's got some mighty thick skin you think one piece of paper can clear her name
17:04at the very least it proves she was not the one who broke faith
17:13let's go back
17:17sophie actually dared to humiliate me in public today
17:26this 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 if it hadn't been for you enough we still have a wedding
17:40to prepare for
17:42of course
17:43i think we should invite sophie
17:49have you lost your mind why would you do that i 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 state so now miss sophie has to go
18:17we did know each other once i should go congratulate them
18:27i now pronounce you husband and wife
18:41miss why is everyone leaving
18:44my congratulations mrs blake thank you
18:49now that the ceremony is over we'll be taking our leave
18:53leaving so soon the reception has only just begun
19:04this 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
19:27i 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 are you calling my people low-class
19:39you two stop already
19:49miss sophie
19:50miss sophie how lovely of you to come to nathan's wedding and mine
19:55mary
20:04you even know how to send your former fiance a proper wedding gift
20:08just like your father
20:10even in the black creek fire he still wore his uniform neat as ever
20:17how would she know details like that about my father at black creek
20:20the gift has been delivered i should be going now
20:27for 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 this 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
21:39you
21:48you
21:52you
21:54you
21:56you
21:56you
21:57you
22:01you
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.
22:21If 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.
23:02Prepare to move out at once.
23:06Colonel Sutton, prepare to move out at once.
23:13What did you just say?
23:15Why aren't Nathan and I the ones going?
23:18The Major General has granted you newlyweds leave.
23:21Until further notice, you are to remain behind.
23:24Leave.
23:25That'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?
23:37Miss 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.
23:47What 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.
24:12And because at the Eastern Narrow Pass, she held the whole line by herself and kept the enemy pinned down
24:17until reinforcements arrived.
24:21Is that enough for you?
24:27Sophie!
24:29I don't know when you learn to shoot, but riding is no game if you can't ride.
24:49Sophie!
24:50Sophie!
24:52Sophie!
24:57Are you hurt?
25:05Come on.
25:06We're riding for the front.
25:18What 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?
25:35That's enough.
25:36Don't push this any further.
25:38What did the Blake family ever do to deserve bringing a woman like you into this house?
25:55Miss, General Howard uncovered the truth about what happened at Black Creek.
26:02Black Creek came under heavy assault because Julian Vale, the badly wounded son of General Gideon Vale, one of the
26:08enemy 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.
26:28He 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.
26:45But the wind was too strong that night, and Black Creek was full of wooden buildings.
26:49The 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.
27:04He 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, and 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.
27:35Keep 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, the frontline military orders have arrived.
27:49Evelyn and I request to lead the Iron Cavalry into battle immediately.
27:52Our wedding leave is over.
27:53As 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.
28:09You two just need to provide support for port from the rear.
28:12What?
28:13The Iron Cavalry is the best in the Republic, and I led them to that hero title.
28:16She's been sitting at home for a year.
28:18What right does she have to command me?
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.
28:39Of course.
28:42Fine.
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?
29:02General Lucas, I request a challenge against Sophie tomorrow.
29:05Fine.
29:06But if you lose, you'll lose all credit for the Southern Front and hand over command of all your current
29:11troops.
29:12Clear.
29:13What if she loses?
29:14If Sophie loses, the Iron Cavalry gets transferred.
29:17Why, she will only lose his one regiment.
29:19But if I lose, I lose everything!
29:21The Challenger is supposed to put up a bigger stake.
29:23Not enough.
29:24One more thing.
29:25If you lose, you hand over the Iron Cavalry, and for the rest of your life, you will never set
29:30foot on a battlefield again!
29:42I accept.
29:43Evelyn, isn't this too risky?
29:49Ridiculous.
29:50I won't lose to a worthless like her.
29:54I won't lose to a lot of people.
30:00I won't lose to a lot of people.
30:02Use this.
30:08A wooden stick.
30:09The General want her to die, does he?
30:10Evelyn's got a real sword.
30:11How's she supposed to fight with a wooden stick?
30:13Calm down, Sophie.
30:15I've been holding back for way too long.
30:16I'm going to make her pay.
30:18Don't worry.
30:18I'll get to the bottom of everything.
30:20Your whole family's desk.
30:21Oh, coming at me with a stick.
30:25Sophie, I know you've been riding on your family's dead war heroes to get glory, but you'll never be as
30:31good as me.
30:32We're the ones risking our necks on the front line, shedding blood, killing enemies, and in the end, all the
30:37credit goes to some woman who only got ahead because of her family name.
30:40Exactly what makes her a colonel just because her dad's a general.
30:43Evelyn, beat her to a pulp.
30:44Evelyn!
30:46Shut up!
30:47One more word!
30:48You'll face court-martial!
30:51All because of you.
30:53My father died in that fire at Black Creek.
30:56And my six brothers...
30:58There is no need.
31:00Evelyn will beat you.
31:05Step back.
31:32That strike from Sophie was brutal.
31:36Evelyn nearly got knocked off her horse.
31:38Again!
31:48That wooden stick?
31:50General Lucas gave it to you.
31:51Is it modified or something?
31:54Impossible.
31:55I'm a cavalry soldier.
31:56How can I get beaten like this by some stick?
31:58The stick, it's got to be modified.
32:01Yeah, unfair!
32:03There must be something wrong with that stick.
32:04Yes, that's not fair.
32:08Look closely.
32:14Again?
32:16Don't get cocky!
32:30Stop playing tricks!
32:44Hmm.
32:46Hmm.
33:12I'll kill you!
33:20I'll kill you!
33:31I'll kill you!
33:32Neil.
33:40For a year, every single night, I dream about that fire.
34:00You... you can't kill me. I'm a hero.
34:08You killed my whole family. You deserve to die!
34:11Sophie!
34:19You lose.
34:20You lose.
34:21You lose.
34:21You lose.
34:23You lose.
