Short filmTranscript
00:16Oh, dear God, keep it down.
00:19Don't wait, Mary.
00:23She won't.
00:24She won't know what we're doing.
00:27She's just a child.
00:33I was eight that year.
00:34I woke up and saw my gardeness messing around with my father, right there in my bedroom.
00:45Jane didn't just seduce my father.
00:47She swundled him out of every penny he had.
00:51My father was beaten to death by loan shark.
00:55My sister was assaulted and killed by them.
01:00My mother slit her wrists.
01:05Jane, oh Jane.
01:07I swear.
01:09Even if I have to go to hell, I will make you pay in blood.
01:34Hello, my name is Evelyn.
01:36Jane, I saw in the newspaper that you are looking for a maid.
01:41Follow me inside.
01:47Jane, I'm here.
01:50Are you ready?
02:03You're from New Jersey, America.
02:05An orphan?
02:06Yes, madam.
02:08I grew up in an orphanage in New Jersey and later came to London.
02:12I worked as a maid for Mrs. Smith for three years.
02:15Why did you leave?
02:16Mr. Smith went to war and didn't come back.
02:18Mrs. Smith returned to America.
02:22You have a cheap, but pretty face.
02:25It'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.
02:35But if you don't do well, you will be fired.
02:40Since I'm here, I won't leave until I drag you to hell.
02:46By the way, I despise people who think they're clever.
02:49If 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.
02:57Very well.
02:58Run along now.
03:07You swindled my father out of everything.
03:10And the next thing you know, you're married to Lord Hastings.
03:14Jane, oh Jane, even Satan would envy your luck.
03:20Let me strip you back to what you truly are.
03:45It's been so late.
03:47And you are still working?
03:51My Lord, Madam asked me to organize these books tonight.
04:03Are you the new American girl?
04:08Yes, my Lord.
04:09My name is Evelyn.
04:19Just arrived.
04:20Are you settling in?
04:22If you need anything, you can come to me.
04:33My Lord, you are drunk.
04:35Let me call your valet to take you back to your room.
04:36No need for anyone else.
04:39You take me back.
04:42My Lord, I am just a lowly maid.
04:44I have no right to enter the Master's quarters.
04:47My Lord, you need some water to sober up.
04:51A lowly maid, indeed.
04:54At least you know your place.
05:07My lady.
05:10I just saw my husband leaving.
05:14What did you talk about?
05:15My Lord was drunk.
05:17He asked me to pour him a glass of water.
05:21I saw everything.
05:22At least you have some sense.
05:24It's my duty.
05:31Do you know what to do from now on?
05:33Yes, 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.
06:10After all these years, you two must miss each other terribly, don't you?
06:26Please send it as quickly as possible.
06:57You must be free.
06:58Have a cup of tea to warm up.
07:00Thank you, I appreciate it.
07:03See that? Even in a backwater like this, there's a fine piece like her.
07:09She's like a soaked little cupcake.
07:17Hey, my beautiful little lady, are you alone? Where are you from, huh?
07:21Oi, old Tom, give this young lady some whiskey to ward off the cold.
07:24No, thank you, I don't drink.
07:38What's happening?
07:40Oh, sweetheart, you don't look well. Let me help you get some rest.
07:44Let me go.
07:55Take your hands off her.
07:59Sir, she's my sister.
08:02Say one more word, I'll shoot.
08:15Where do you live?
08:18Hastings Castle, please.
08:22Sir, your face is as cold as ice.
08:28Don't move. Sit still.
08:32Don't leave me alone.
08:34I hate the orphanage.
08:44Damn it, they drugged her.
08:59I can't do this.
09:01I'd be no better than those two creeps from just now.
09:18Where is this?
09:20You said you live here.
09:22Oh, right. I live here. I'm a maid here.
09:25Go on inside. Don't let anyone see you like this.
09:31Don't drink things from strangers again.
09:38Hastings Castle hasn't hosted a social bowl in a long time.
09:42The guests coming this time are all the master's friends from London.
09:45We can't make any mistake.
09:47I wonder if that friend from New York will make it in time.
10:12You two better not disappoint me.
10:22My old flame. It's been years and you've gone and struck it rich.
10:36Antique room. See you there.
10:47Madam, there is a guest waiting for you in the antique room.
10:50He says he is an old friend of yours and has urgent matters to discuss with you.
10:54A friend? What is his name?
10:55He didn't say. Only said, you would know when you saw him, madam.
11:00Okay. You should go now.
11:05An old friend. Who could it be?
11:10No matter who he is, I'll just send him away.
11:27My dear Jay. Long time no see.
11:30How come it's you?
11:35Why act so clueless?
11:37Didn't I come here at your beck and call?
11:42I don't know what you're talking about.
11:43There are guests everywhere outside right now.
11:45You must leave immediately.
11:47Who the fuck are you pretending to be noble for?
11:49The old count knows full well what kind of person you are.
11:51And I do too.
11:52Want me to go speak with him about it?
11:54What do you want?
11:56No rush for other things.
11:58It's been so long.
11:59Let's catch up first.
12:07I've been reading a few words.
12:17I'm so sorry.
12:36Oh my god!
12:38Oh my gosh!
12:46Oh my gosh!
12:47Oh my gosh!
12:48Oh my gosh!
12:49Is that Lady Hastings?
12:51Heavens.
12:51It's simply scandalous.
12:54I truly feel for Lord Hastings.
12:56He is such an upright man, yet he's been subjected to such terrible humiliation.
13:01And Sebastian, he will also feel ashamed of his mother.
13:05Jane, didn't you love having people watch you in bed?
13:09You must have thoroughly enjoyed this show.
13:18Get a divorce.
13:21William, let me explain.
13:23No need.
13:24You have trampled on my dignity.
13:26Don't insult my intelligence.
13:28We must divorce.
13:34If you want a divorce, fine.
13:36I will take my dowie with me.
13:38I signed an agreement with you back then.
13:40You could use my money to run your estate.
13:42But if we ever divorce, I can take all of my money back.
13:45You'd better think about it.
13:46What does Hastings have left now besides an Earl title in this old house?
13:50Without me, you can't even keep this house.
13:54Still want a divorce?
13:59I know everything about your fling with that Polish widow.
14:02Let's call it quits.
14:08Do you think he knows about this?
14:11Probably not.
14:12It's too embarrassing.
14:13If it were me, I wouldn't even step out of the house.
14:15Not necessarily.
14:17After all, the Earl isn't his real father either.
14:19He should be used to it by now.
14:20Used to having multiple fathers?
14:22Little Hastings searching for his daddies?
14:24Who are you talking about?
14:26May I ask, what were you just talking about?
14:28Well, so you really don't know.
14:30That wantal mother of yours is famous all over England now.
14:34What is that supposed to mean?
14:35Last week, at least dozens of guests saw your mother screwing a Yankee in your home with
14:39their own eyes.
14:41Say that again.
15:07You haven't been home in a long time.
15:09You should have told me in advance so I could have them prepare.
15:13This is mother's home, not mine.
15:17You shouldn't say that, Sebastian.
15:21In the future, everything of mother's will be yours, including this home.
15:27Thank you, but you know this is not what I want.
15:31So what do you want?
15:33I want a normal person's life.
15:36What on earth do you mean by that?
15:38Wherever I go these days, people whisper and point behind my back, gossiping about my mother's
15:47affairs.
15:48How I wish that when others talk about you, I could reprimand them with a clear conscience.
15:57But I cannot.
16:00Because I know my mother better than anyone.
16:04Are you accusing your mother?
16:06If I hadn't secured a decent life for you, you would still be selling sweet potatoes on
16:11New York's Lower East Street.
16:13Where I was born was not my choice.
16:15At least I can choose where I die in the future.
16:18Really?
16:18If I had a choice back then, I wouldn't have given birth to you.
16:21Anyone can accuse me, but you can't.
16:23If I am truly that important, please consider me before you indulge yourself in the future.
16:30So, this is where your weakness lies.
16:42It's you.
16:44Jane's son is actually him.
16:48Evelyn!
16:50Why are you still standing there instead of cleaning this up immediately?
17:08Young Master, they guest me to bring you some warm milk.
17:12Young Master, this is the warm milk the kitchen asked me to bring to you.
17:16Thank you, but I do not have the habit of eating at night.
17:21Then, perhaps I could keep you company for a chat.
17:24Or do something else.
17:28What is your name?
17:29Violet.
17:29My name is Violet.
17:31Young Master.
17:31Young Master, I was already here when you returned last year.
17:34Violet, go back to your room.
17:35Do not do this again in the future.
17:37Young Master, I...
17:37Please leave.
17:40Could you please not tell anyone?
17:42Especially the mistress.
17:44I won't tell anyone.
17:51You saw everything?
17:53Yes, Young Master.
17:54I won't say a word.
17:56Your name is Evelyn?
17:57Yes, Young Master.
17:58Do you have any orders for me?
18:00No, nothing.
18:09Violet.
18:12Madam.
18:14What were you doing in the Young Master's room last night?
18:18Madam, I was only delivering milk.
18:23Dressed like a slut, and you were only delivering milk.
18:27Do you take me for a fool?
18:29How did she find out?
18:33Madam, please don't throw me out!
18:34My father will beat me to death!
18:37Then let him beat you to death.
18:39Foolish, wishful-thinking idiot.
18:42You saw all that?
18:44Good.
18:44I hope you take it as a warning.
18:46Yes, madam.
18:53I thought there would be some mutual understanding between people with similar fates.
18:56I know what you're suspecting, but I wasn't the informant.
19:00But only you saw it last night.
19:02If it wasn't you, and it wasn't me, did she tell on herself?
19:06Master, I am not a detective.
19:08If you have suspicions, you should investigate them yourself.
19:12If you have no further orders, you should let me go.
19:16I don't want Madam to misunderstand me.
19:19Misunderstand you about what?
19:20Misunderstand that I am seducing you.
19:33That bitch, trying to cut ties with me now that she's made it big?
19:37No way in hell.
19:42What should I do?
19:46I don't dare go home.
19:56Don't be scared.
19:57Your dad is useless, so I'll be your daddy.
20:00I won't beat you.
20:03No!
20:04No!
20:05Please!
20:06Help!
20:07Save me!
20:08Motherfuck!
20:19You bitch.
20:21How dare you hit me!
20:31You're much more exciting than that little girl.
20:41Let go of my sister!
20:44No!
20:48No!
20:49No!
20:49No!
20:49No!
20:50No!
20:51Let go of my sister!
20:52Let go of my sister!
20:54Let go of my sister!
21:05Evelyn.
21:14Don't be afraid, Evelyn.
21:15It's all right now.
21:21Evelyn!
21:24Not dead.
21:25Good.
21:26Dying would be too easy on you.
21:33That man, has he been sent away?
21:36The police will handle it.
21:38You don't need to worry.
21:39I knew it.
21:40You still care about your mother.
21:43You are my son, after all.
21:45You've lived in England for so long, yet you still keep your American humor.
21:49Of course I didn't do it for you.
21:54Where are you going?
21:56Back to my unit.
22:03He hates me.
22:04Perhaps you're overthinking it.
22:06A telegram just arrived.
22:08The Eighth Army is heading to North Africa.
22:11Good God!
22:14The Eighth Army has arrived in North Africa.
22:17General Montgomery has to talk to the band with a corporate and a cup of material.
22:21Fish after women.
22:22General Leeson, the police has taken command.
22:27I wonder how things are at the front.
22:29Madam is so worried she can't even eat.
22:32Yes, and not just Madam.
22:33Many young men from the town have gone to the front.
22:36Everyone is worried sick right now.
22:37Luckily, I'm an only child, so I don't have to go to the front.
22:40You know, the opponent is Roman.
22:47I'm going to pray.
22:48Are you coming?
22:48Of course.
22:49I'll join you.
22:50I'll head back first, just to have a lot of work to do.
23:08You must come back alive.
23:15You must come back.
23:19I'll head back.
23:19I'll head back.
23:20I'll head back.
23:25I'll head back.
23:33Oh, my son.
23:34Oh, my son.
23:39You're finally back.
23:41All right, let our great hero go inside and rest.
23:43Young Master Sebastian is truly young and promising.
23:47The hero of El Almadi.
23:50Let you bastards try and mock me now.
23:59You're the star of the show tonight.
24:01Don't just drink a lullo and share some of your glorious experiences with everyone.
24:04Tonight's roasted lamb chops remind me of the smell of my comrades
24:08being blown to pieces.
24:25Shouldn't you be at the victory banquet?
24:27Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
24:30Is there a name you recognize on here?
24:33Their names aren't on here, but their souls must be.
24:38I received a letter a couple of days ago.
24:40Two friends I knew from the orphanage.
24:42Both lost their lives in North Africa.
24:46Are you all right?
24:48We won.
24:49How could I not be all right?
24:51You slipped away from the banquet just because you didn't want to pretend, didn't you?
24:54I'll leave you to it.
24:55I should head back.
24:58If you want to talk, I'm willing to listen.
25:20Master, do you have any orders?
25:23Don't call me Master anymore.
25:25Then what should I call you?
25:26Just call me Seb.
25:27Madam won't be pleased if she finds out.
25:31Would it make you happy to call me that?
25:37Then it would make me happy too.
25:39Then I'll call you that in secret.
25:41Let it be our secret, Seb.
25:44The town hospital is recruiting volunteers to accompany Wounded Soul.
25:48That is, just to talk with them.
25:49Would you like to go?
25:50I would, but...
25:51I'll speak to the butler for you.
25:52You don't have to worry.
26:07You know, in the desert at night, the stars are incredibly bright.
26:11Though I've never seen it, I can imagine.
26:13But they are so bright, it's terrifying.
26:15Because you don't know if you'll still be alive to see the memorial.
26:18It's all over now.
26:24She seems to possess a power.
26:26A power to catch those who are falling.
26:29Mr. Hastings, the volunteer you sent last week.
26:31Miss Evelyn, she's absolutely wonderful.
26:33All the soldiers love her.
26:35I'm glad we could help.
26:36She's so young, yet she has such patience.
26:39Some people come and want to leave after five minutes.
26:41But she can sit there all afternoon.
26:44That amputee soldier hadn't spoken to anyone for three days since he got here.
26:47But once she arrived, he actually started talking.
26:53How was today?
26:54One soldier said he was knocked unconscious on the battlefield
26:57and had a beautiful dream about his hometown's wheat fields and his cows.
27:01When he woke up, he found his leg was gone.
27:04I'm sorry to make you listen to these things every day.
27:06The suffering needs to be heard.
27:10Do you need someone to listen to you too?
27:13It's alright if you don't.
27:14Whenever you're ready, I'll be here to listen.
27:28Don't leave me.
27:29I hate the orphanage.
27:36What is happening to me?
27:46Madam, what are your orders?
27:47What has the young master been doing these past few days?
27:50The young master?
27:51Nothing out of the ordinary.
27:52That's devilish strange.
27:54Have you ever known him to stay here for more than three days in the past?
27:57It's been weeks now and he's in no hurry to return to London.
28:00Don't you find that unusual?
28:01You've been at Hastings for over ten years, haven't you?
28:03I've always trusted you because you never keep secrets from me.
28:06Is that still true?
28:07Madam, the young master has been going to the town hospital quite often these past few weeks.
28:12What is he doing at the hospital?
28:14He recommended Evelyn to the town hospital to work as an aide for the wounded.
28:19He did suddenly ask me to borrow a maid for charity work last time and I didn't think much of
28:22it.
28:23No wonder I haven't seen that little girl around lately.
28:25Are you saying he's been fooling around with that little girl at the hospital every day?
28:30Oh, madam, I never said such a thing.
28:47What are you doing here?
28:49Madam, I am a volunteer.
28:51A volunteer?
28:52You're a lowly maid.
28:54What business do you have volunteering?
28:57Madam, please conduct yourself with dignity.
29:00You dare lecture me?
29:04You old whore.
29:06Do you want to hit me again?
29:07You little bitch!
29:08How dare you insult me!
29:10Madam, you're getting old.
29:12You've grown so very slow.
29:22It was this little bitch.
29:24Enough!
29:29From this moment on, don't let me ever see you hit or abuse anyone again.
29:34Otherwise, I will hate you as I hate an enemy.
29:37Mother.
29:37Mother.
29:42I apologize on behalf of my mother.
29:44I'm sorry.
29:45You don't need to apologize, Seb.
29:48If you hadn't come to save me, I should be thanking you.
29:51If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have hit you.
29:53My mother is a terrible person.
29:55Will you distance yourself from me, Seb?
29:57For fear of putting me in danger?
29:59I won't.
30:01Because meeting you is the only good thing that has ever happened in my life.
30:12Come away with me.
30:16Go?
30:18Where?
30:19Anywhere.
30:20London, Scotland, France.
30:22As long as you're willing, we can leave this place.
30:24But why leave?
30:24I don't know what other crazy things she might do.
30:27Seb, I can't.
30:29Why?
30:30This doesn't align with my ideals.
30:34What are your ideals?
30:37To be an ordinary person living an ordinary life.
30:40Not a mistress eloping with a man.
30:47I really didn't expect you'd dare to come back.
30:51This is where I work.
30:52Of course I would return.
30:54You think you can still stay here?
30:56Pack your things and get out.
30:59Right now.
31:00That works too.
31:01Then I can live happily ever after with your son.
31:05You little slut!
31:07You shouldn't insult me anymore.
31:09I'm very good at whispering in his ear, you know?
31:19You think you've won?
31:21You little bitch.
31:22It's far from over.
31:34What wind blew you here?
31:36Shouldn't you be upstairs entertaining our distinguished guest from before at this hour?
31:44You know very well I hate socialising, yet you still tease me.
31:49Well, what can we do?
31:51The most charming lady of the social season has graced us with her presence.
31:55If you're not there, won't your heroic charms go to waste?
32:00Jealous.
32:07My mother invited her.
32:09It's obvious what they're up to.
32:11That's why I suddenly have urgent military business and must go to London.
32:17Poor you.
32:19Come with me.
32:20It'll save you from staying here and dealing with their spine.
32:22Seb, I'm not a child.
32:24I have to face many things on my own.
32:26And have you forgotten I almost killed a piece of trash once?
32:29Wait for me to return.
32:33Your household is quite unique.
32:36Even maids are allowed to serve in the dining room now.
32:39As you know, it's hard enough to find three able-hearted young men in an entire estate these days.
32:45Quite true.
32:48Evelyn, pour some wine for Miss Ashworth.
32:54I heard from my father that even the Queen praised Sebastian's bravery.
32:59Are you serious?
33:00Oh my goodness!
33:02When will he ever cure himself of this dreadful habit of being overly modest?
33:07You shouldn't say that.
33:09Nowadays, old-fashioned gentlemen like Sebastian are rarer than a rhino's hair.
33:14I'd rather be knocked unconscious right now than listen to the two of them carry on with this cheprade.
33:19I also think so.
33:21And because he is so precious, there are always those who hyper unrealistic fantasies about him.
33:26Madam, what kind of lady do you think would be a suitable match for your son?
33:31Don't you already know the answer to that?
33:34Of all the noble ladies in England,
33:36you are the only one I wrote to.
33:41A woman's intuition is indeed remarkably accurate.
33:47By the way, Margaret,
33:48I heard from your mother that your birthday is in a week.
33:52Seb will surely be back by then.
33:54We must celebrate your birthday.
33:57A ball, hunting, a live band.
33:59I know those are all things you love and excel at.
34:03Madam, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?
34:06Of course not.
34:08Seb loves hunting too.
34:10I'll have him accompany you then.
34:17You seem quite interested in her.
34:21I just feel that she doesn't seem like an ordinary maid.
34:24Oh?
34:26I'm a very good judge of character.
34:29Madam, I'm willing to bet that this maid of yours has quite a background.
34:33Is that so?
34:35Then I really ought to look into this little slut's background.
34:46Mother, it's too hard.
34:48I don't want to learn.
34:50Darling, don't you want to be a lady?
34:53No.
34:54Sister can be the lady.
34:56I want to be a female knight.
35:00Leave the hard things to me.
35:03Little Mary should just do what she loves.
35:05I want to ride horses.
35:07I want to learn to hunt.
35:09Father, where is the pony you promised to buy me?
35:13Father won't forget.
35:15On your birthday,
35:17I'll give you the pony and teach you how to hunt.
35:20Father is the best.
35:22Don't cry, Evelyn.
35:24Do not cry
35:25until you see blood-red tears streaming from your enemy's eyes.
35:35Are you sure you want to host this birthday banquet?
35:38Margaret isn't even family.
35:40Why go to all this trouble?
35:41Precisely because she isn't.
35:42We must.
35:44Earl Asherington carries great weight in London's social circles.
35:47And if this marriage happens,
35:50your estate, your status, and Seb's future
35:52Don't be too idealistic.
35:54Your son hasn't even agreed yet.
35:56I know my son better than you do.
35:59He values face and reputation far more than either of us.
36:05Face and reputation.
36:10Stop daydreaming.
36:12This is the time for us to stand united.
36:14On the day of the banquet,
36:15you take care of welcoming the guests.
36:17Leave the rest to me.
36:21Do as you please.
36:26You're back.
36:27Is your business in London finished?
36:30Why the urgency to call me back?
36:31Is something wrong?
36:36Margaret's birthday is coming up.
36:38I want to host a birthday banquet for her here at the castle.
36:41Doesn't she have her own home?
36:43She is our guest and your friend.
36:45We can't just neglect her.
36:47She is not my friend.
36:48We are barely even acquaintances.
36:50Be that as it may,
36:52she is staying here.
36:53If we don't even host a dinner for her birthday,
36:55what would people say?
36:57You must think of the Hastings family's reputation.
37:00Do as you wish.
37:01If there's nothing else,
37:02I'm going back to London.
37:04You must attend.
37:08On what grounds?
37:09I know you dislike socializing,
37:12but you are the young master of the Hastings family.
37:15If you don't show up on such an occasion,
37:17what will others think?
37:20I couldn't care less.
37:21How about this?
37:23You can bring Evelyn with you.
37:25I know you care about that girl.
37:27But if you want her to be your companion,
37:30you should also let her see the world.
37:33Very well.
37:43Young master, there is a call for you.
37:49Sebastian speaking.
37:51Hello, this is the detective agency.
37:53We have the results of the investigation you requested.
37:59Is something on your mind, my melancholy prince?
38:02I remember you saying you grew up in an orphanage.
38:05Yes.
38:06Actually, in a sense, I'm just like you.
38:08You are an orphan with no parents.
38:11And I am an orphan with a mother.
38:15Has something happened?
38:17I'm sorry.
38:18Why are you apologizing?
38:21My mother wants to host a birthday banquet for Margaret
38:24and ask me to bring you along.
38:26I took it upon myself to agree on your behalf.
38:30Sure, I'd love to go with you.
38:47Do I look good?
38:48Without a doubt.
38:51Let's go.
38:59Our hero has arrived.
39:02Evelyn, you look stunning tonight.
39:05Thank you, madam.
39:14Distinguished guests, thank you all for joining us tonight
39:18to celebrate Miss Margaret Ashworth's birthday.
39:21On this beautiful occasion, I would like to make an announcement.
39:25The Hastings and Ashworth families will soon be united in marriage.
39:30My son, Sebastian, will be betrothed to Miss Margaret.
39:36Congratulations!
39:37Miss Margaret, congratulations.
39:38Young Master Hastings is the hero of Ella Lumga.
39:40Lord Hastings, congratulations.
39:43I was wondering why Sebastian brought a maid along.
39:45I know, right?
39:46Dressed more decently than the young lady herself.
39:49What an embarrassment.
39:52I do not agree to this marriage, Miss Ashworth.
39:55My mother's decision does not represent my own.
39:58If she insists on uniting our family,
40:01then the only way is for my stepfather, Lord Hastings,
40:04to divorce her
40:07and marry into your family himself.
40:13Miss Evelyn, there is something I must say to you.
40:16What words?
40:18I love you, Evelyn.
40:20No matter what, I love you.
40:24Are these tears to think I still have such things?
40:31Sebastian!
40:32Do you have any idea what you are doing?
40:41Do you have anything you want to say to me?
40:45Seb, what you said just now,
40:47was it real?
40:49Or did you just do it to spite your mother?
40:51It is real.
41:00I actually...
41:01I'm really not that good.
41:04That doesn't sound like something you would say.
41:07What if you discover that I'm actually a very bad person?
41:11Aren't you?
41:13In my eyes, you have always been a little troublemaker.
41:20I told you my feelings not to burden you,
41:22but to let you know that in this world,
41:24you are no longer alone.
41:35He is wonderful.
41:37But not nearly enough to make me let go of my hatred.
41:48Stop right there.
41:56did you sleep well last night of course madam that's why i actually admire you
42:06if i were you living under your enemy's roof i would sleep one eye open wouldn't you you might
42:14as well speak plainly madam mary elizabeth thornton born in 1921 new york father david thornton wealthy
42:23manhattan businessman mother catherine thornton sister sophia thornton when little mary was eight

42:34thornton was beaten to death by lone harks sophia thornton was violated to death catherine thornton
42:40slit her wrists little mary was sent to an orphanage does this story sound familiar to you
42:48little mary doesn't it read just like a piece of tabloid news reading these letters even i felt
42:56like shedding a tear or two for poor little mary so you came here for revenge from the very first
43:03day
