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.
02:28Look 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.
03:50And 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.
04:01Is that so?
04:03The longer I listen to the three of you, the more it sounds like, in your version of things, I
04:08am 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.
04:29If 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.
04:58How 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.
05:15You 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.
05:26Add up everything Mrs. Blake's at Sutton estate this past year, every last penny.
05:29What?
05:32Yes, miss.
05:33Finest tea, imported sweet wine.
05:36Custom gowns, jewelry repairs, daily meals, coal for the winter farth, as well as the family doctor's fees for the
05:42full year, medicine costs, and nursing expenses.
05:44Grand total?
05:47$23,000.
05:52You dare ask me to pay you?
05:56Sophie, don't push this too far.
05:58Steward, show them out.
06:01How dare you?
06:07How 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.
06:41It's fine.
06:42No one's lived here for the past year.
06:44That's all this is.
06:48Truth is,
06:49The family money's mostly gone.
06:51It was spent long ago.
07:00It's fine.
07:01Tomorrow,
07:02I'll speak to the Pioneer.
07:03Sophie abused a war hero.
07:05It's a 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 Blake 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?
07:43That's not what happened!
07:46Wicked woman!
07:47Give the hero's family their money back!
07:55Open the gate!
07:58Get out here!
08:00Get out 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.
08:25Even 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,
08:38if 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.
09:16But by the time she got there,
09:19the men holding that position were already dead.
09:22Fill the gas!
09:43What the hell is going on?
09:45Weren't they nearly wiped out?
09:48There's still someone on the right!
09:50Weren't we told this is all that was left of them?
09:52Come on!
09:57Dear God.
09:59When are the reinforcements coming?
10:00I can't hold much longer.
10:20I can't hold much longer.
10:24If they'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,
10:58she held the entire eastern line.
11:03He saved me that day.
11:07Ma'am,
11:08I 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 alone again.
11:19General Lucas,
11:20I already gave my word to the Blake family.
11:23Once the Suttons make a promise,
11:25we do not break it.
11:28From that day on,
11:29I 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,
11:50I 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
12:02for holding that eastern line all by yourself.
12:10I want to help you.
12:13And how do you mean to help me?
12:21Sophia Sutton,
12:22Edward Sutton's daughter?
12:24Yes, sir.
12:26That family's given everything for the cause.
12:28How is she faring now?
12:30Her fiancé, Nathan,
12:32married Evelyn at the front.
12:34And now,
12:35they're asking Sophie to become Nathan's mistress.
12:38That is completely unacceptable.
12:42Nathan's behavior may be dishonorable,
12:44but Evelyn is our new war hero.
12:47I cannot tear apart a hero's marriage.
12:49But...
12:53The one who held the eastern line by herself,
12:55that was her?
12:59Yes, sir.
13:01Why in God's name am I only hearing of this now?
13:04After that battle,
13:05a foray high in Jospil,
13:07her mother wanted it kept secret
13:08that 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.
13:26Sir...
13:27The soldier in that report
13:29was holding the breach under artillery fire
13:32with not another soul beside her.
13:36And to think it was
13:37a woman who looked so slim.
13:40On the battlefield,
13:41bullets do not turn aside
13:42just because I'm a woman, sir.
13:45You are an extraordinary woman,
13:48Miss Sutton.
13:49But I must speak plainly.
13:52Evelyn is the most celebrated war hero
13:56in the entire republic right now.
14:00Evelyn is the most celebrated war hero
14:03in the entire republic right now.
14:09I cannot step in on your behalf
14:11and be the man who tears apart her marriage.
14:14I have no interest
14:15in tearing apart their marriage.
14:17I do not love Nathan Blake.
14:21I came here for one thing only.
14:24I want you
14:25to stand behind the truth
14:27that my engagement to Nathan Blaine
14:28should have been ended from the start.
14:31I want you to know,
14:33and I want the whole town to know,
14:34the one who broke faith was not me.
14:37And what else?
14:39I want back in the army.
14:41To speak plainly,
14:42I am surprised.
14:44And glad.
14:46A woman like you
14:47was never meant to be buried and forgotten.
14:51But seven members of the Sutton family
14:53have already died in this war.
14:58I do not have the heart
14:59to send you back to the front.
15:04The fighting in the South
15:05is growing worse,
15:06and Blackstone Valley
15:07could be pulled into it again
15:08at 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,
15:21you must bring her back alive.
15:24Yes, sir.
15:35She actually dared to come back?
15:37Wasn't it all in the paper?
15:38She threw Mrs. Blake
15:39right out of the estate?
15:42She is no proper lady at all.
15:44I took care of her for a whole year,
15:45and now she has the nerve
15:47to ask me for money.
15:52Mrs. Sutton,
15:53is it true you drove Mrs. Blake
15:55out of the estate?
15:56Did you truly demand
15:56a large sum of money
15:57from the Blake family?
15:58Were you taking revenge
15:59because your engagement was broken?
16:01Enough.
16:05Mrs. Sophia Sutton asked me
16:09to share these with everyone.
16:11They may help clear up
16:12a few misunderstandings
16:13about her engagement
16:14to Nathan Blaine.
16:17That engagement
16:19is hereby declared
16:20null and void
16:22on account of Mr. Blake
16:24first breaking his promise
16:25and entering into
16:26another marriage.
16:27Mrs. Sutton never broke her word,
16:29nor did she commit
16:30any so-called ingratitude
16:31or cruel expulsion.
16:34This bears the general's
16:36own signature and seal.
16:40That's impossible.
16:41There is one more thing
16:43the whole town ought to know.
16:45For the past year,
16:47Mrs. Blake has been living
16:48at Sutton Estate.
16:49Her food,
16:50her clothes,
16:51her doctor,
16:51her medicine,
16:52her daily expenses,
16:53even her luxuries,
16:54were all paid for
16:55by Mrs. Sutton.
16:56Then the ungrateful ones are...
16:58The Blake family's got
17:00some mighty thick skin.
17:02You think one piece of paper
17:03can clear her name?
17:04At the very least,
17:05it proves she was not
17:07the one who broke fate.
17:13Let's go back.
17:17Sophie actually dared
17:19to humiliate me
17:19in public today!
17:20Ah!
17:21Ah!
17:25This place feels suffocating.
17:29Then you never should have
17:30left Sutton Estate
17:31in the first place.
17:34How dare you speak to me
17:36that way!
17:36If it hadn't been for you...
17:38Enough!
17:39We still have a wedding
17:40to 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
17:52with her own eyes.
17:56I want her to see it
17:58everything she's lost.
18:06Okay.
18:08She really had to
18:09make a show of it.
18:11She even sent the invitation
18:12all the way to the state
18:13so now Miss Sophie has to go.
18:17We did know each other once.
18:19I should go congratulate them.
18:27I now pronounce you
18:28husband and wife.
18:41Miss, why's everyone leaving?
18:44My congratulations, Mrs. Blake.
18:49Now that the ceremony is over,
18:51we'll be taking our leave.
18:53Leaving so soon?
18:54The reception has only just begun.
19:04This sort of setting
19:05does not quite suit
19:06a lady of my standing.
19:15This is the wedding you gave me?
19:18The ceremony wasn't even over
19:20before half the guests walked out.
19:24You humiliated me
19:25in front of everyone!
19:27I sold the last few pieces
19:28of land we had left
19:29just to pay for this wedding!
19:30If you ask me,
19:31it was those low-class people
19:32you invited
19:33who scared off
19:33the respectable guests!
19:35Low-class?
19:36Are you calling my people
19:37low-class?
19:39You two, stop already!
19:49Miss Sophie, how lovely of you
19:52to come to Nathan's wedding
19:53and mine.
19:54Mary.
20:04You even know how to send
20:05your former fiancé
20:06though a proper wedding gift?
20:08Just like your father.
20:10Even in the Black Creek fire,
20:12he still wore his uniform
20:13neat as ever.
20:16How would she know
20:18details like that
20:19about my father at Black Creek?
20:20The gift has been delivered.
20:22I should be going now.
20:26For a house lady like you,
20:28Miss Sophia,
20:29this must be your first military wedding.
20:33Why not stay a while longer?
20:35It might be...
20:36interesting.
20:42My father died
20:43in the Battle of Black Creek.
20:45And in that fire,
20:46how would Evelyn know details
20:47that were never made public?
20:49Mary.
20:51Go find my teacher,
20:52General Howard.
20:52I want the truth
20:53about what happened
20:53at Black Creek.
20:54Yes, Miss.
21:00Miss Sophie,
21:01since you're here,
21:02open your eyes
21:03and watch closely.
21:04This is how a gun
21:05is truly handled.
21:26Why is it jammed?
21:30You didn't even set the hammer
21:31to half cap.
21:32Load it like that
21:33and of course it'll go wrong.
21:34And what would you know about it?
21:59And what would you know about it?
22:09isn't she supposed to be some society lady sophie how do you even and one more thing
22:15you cap it last if 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 all soldiers on leave report back at once
22:48at last i have a chance to prove myself again if this goes well for you and evelyn things
22:54might finally turn around for our family
23:00colonel sutton prepare to move out at once
23:06colonel 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 until further notice you are to remain behind
23:24leave that's one way to say they're staying clear of the front sounds more like being set aside
23:31then what exactly is sophie supposed to be why did you call her colonel
23:36miss sophie sutton has been formally commissioned by the major general of the seventh military
23:40district effective today she holds the rank of colonel that's impossible what could possibly
23:48qualify her for a rank like that because at wilton during the main assault
23:53she was the first to jump into the enemy trench she took out multiple forward gun positions and
23:57tore open a breach for the main force because before black creek fell
24:02she got 37 civilians and wounded men across the north bridge and out of the line of fire alive
24:11and because at the eastern narrow pass she held the whole line by herself and kept the enemy pinned
24:16down until reinforcements arrived is that enough for you
24:28sophie i don't know when you learn to shoot but riding is no game if you can't ride
24:48sophie
24:56are you hurt
25:05come on we're riding for the front
25:17what are you doing what is it are you reconsidering things now
25:24what is it are you reconsidering things now what gives you the right to lay a hand on him
25:34that's enough don't push this any further
25:38what did the blake family ever do to deserve bringing a woman like you into this house
25:54miss 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
26:07one of the enemy nation's most feared commanders had been captured and was being held at the field
26:13hospital in black creek
26:18julian had been stable but after night watch the wrong medicine was given to him
26:26the wrong medicine was given to him he went into violent convulsions stopped breathing and died soon
26:31after the nurse assigned to julian was evelyn this is a statement from a trainee nurse
26:37she passed julian's room and saw evelyn panic right after he died then evelyn tried to burn the medical chart
26:42the medicine log and the handover records to destroy the evidence but the wind was too strong that night
26:46and black creek was full of wooden buildings the fire got out of control in no time
26:52what about my father your father general edward sutton had been ordered to evacuate the civilians and wounded from black
26:59creek
27:01when the fire broke out he did not leave he led men back in to save people and kept organizing
27:06evacuations through the flames
27:08but then the enemy attacked your father had no choice but to fight he was badly outnumbered
27:13and he fell so my father died because of evelyn
27:19not just your father your six brothers died because of her too
27:27go on the specifics we still need to investigate further
27:35keep investigating i need to know what exactly does she have to do with the deaths of my six brothers
27:42yes
27:45general lucas the frontline military orders have arrived evelyn and i request to lead the iron cavilage into battle immediately
27:51our wedding leave is over as 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 seventh 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 what the iron cavalry is the best in
28:14the
28:14republic and i led them to that hero title she's been sitting at home for a year what right does
28:18she have to command me general sophie colonel sutton hasn't set foot on a battlefield in years the
28:22iron cavalry needs a commander with real experience someone the troops will follow are you questioning
28:25my decision i mean she's just trying to steal the credit sophie doesn't care about the country
28:32she's getting back at me and nathan handing the iron cavalry over to her that's playing with
28:36everyone's lives i'm trying to steal credit of course
28:42fine since 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 i request a challenge against sophie tomorrow
29:05fine but if you lose you'll lose all credit for the southern front and hand over command of all
29:11your current troops clear what if she loses if sophie loses the iron cavalry gets transferred
29:16why she will only losses one regiment but if i lose i lose everything the challenger is supposed
29:21to put up a bigger stake not enough one more thing if you lose you hand over the iron cavalry
29:27and for the rest of your life you will never set foot on a battlefield again
29:41i accept evelyn isn't this too risky
