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.
06:57He 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.
12:26What just?
12:36Oh my God! Oh my God!
12:45Oh my God! Oh my God!
12:49Is that Lady Hastings?
12:51Heavens, it'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! You have trampled on my dignity.
13:25Don'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?
13:49Without me you can't even keep this house.
13:53Still 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, little Hastings searching for his daddies.
14:24Who are you talking about?
14:26May I ask, what were you just talking about?
14:28So 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 their own eyes.
14:41Say that again.
14:42I said, your mother is a-
15:07You haven't been home in a long time.
15:09You should told me in advance.
15:11So 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.
15:26Thank 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?
15:39Wherever I go these days, people whisper and point behind my back, gossiping about my mother's affairs.
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 New York's Lower
16:12East Street.
16:12Where I was born was not my choice.
16:15At least I can choose where I die in the future.
16:17Really?
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!
16:24If I am truly that important, please consider me before you indulge yourself in the future.
16:29So, this is where your weakness lies.
16:43It'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, my name is Violet.
17:31Young Master, Young 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. Do you have any orders for me?
18:00No, nothing.
18:09Violet.
18:12Madam, what 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?
18:32Madam, 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.
18:51Master.
18:53I thought there would be some mutual understanding between people with similar fates.
18:56I know what you're suspecting.
18:58But 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.
19:34Trying 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.
19:59So I'll be your daddy.
20:00I won't beat you!
20:03No!
20:05Please!
20:06Help!
20:06Save me!
20:08Mudfuck!
20:19You bitch!
20:21How dare you hit me!
20:31You're much more exciting than that little girl.
20:34No!
20:36No!
20:37No!
20:39No!
20:39No!
20:40No!
20:40No!
20:41No!
20:42No!
20:44No!
20:47What do you do?
20:49No!
20:50No!
20:50Let go of my sister!
20:52Let go of my sister!
20:54Let go of my sister!
21:05Evelynn.
21:14Don't be afraid, Evelyn
21:15It's all right now
21:21Evelyn
21:24Not dead, good
21:26Dying would be too easy on you
21:33That man, has he been sent away?
21:36The police will handle it, you don't need to worry
21:39I knew it, you 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 humour
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
22:41The Eighth Army has arrived in North Africa
22:47I'm going to pray
22:47Are 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
23:07You must come back alive
23:09You must come back alive
23:22You must come back to North Africa
23:24Congratulations, madam
23:37Oh my son, you're finally back
23:41Alright, 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 lilla and share some of your glorious experiences with everyone
24:04Tonight's roasted lamb chops remind me of the smell of my comrades being blown to pieces
24:25Shouldn't you be at the victory banquet?
24:28Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
24:30Is there a name you recognise 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 alright?
24:48We won
24:48How could I not be alright?
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
25:16Master, do you have any orders?
25:23Don't call me Master anymore
25:24Then what should I call you?
25:26Just call me Seb
25:28Madam 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 to
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
26:25A 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
26:38Some people come and want to leave after five minutes
26:41But she can sit there all afternoon
26:43That amputee soldier hadn't spoken to anyone for three days since he got here
26:47But once she arrived
26:49He 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
28:21And I didn't think much of it
28:23No wonder I haven't seen that little girl around lately
28:25Are you saying?
28:27He's been fooling around with that little girl at the hospital every day?
28:30Oh, madam, I never said such a thing
28:35Madam!
28:48What are you doing here?
28:49Madam, I am a volunteer
28:50A 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
29:05Do 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
29:30Don't let me ever see you hit or abuse anyone again
29:34Otherwise
29:35I will hate you as I hate an enemy
29:36Mother
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
29:49I 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
30:03Is 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?
30:25I 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?
30:36To be an ordinary person living an ordinary life
30:39Not a mistress eloping with a man
30:47I really didn't expect
30:49You'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
30:58Right now
31:00That works too
31:01Then I can live happily ever after with your son
31:05You little slut
31:06You 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
31:54If you're not there, won't your heroic charms go to waste?
32:00Jealous
32:06My 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
32:18Come 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
32:40As 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
32:58Are 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
33:20And because he is so precious
33:22There are always those who hyper unrealistic fantasies about him
33:26Madam
33:27What 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
33:51Seb will surely be back by then
33:55We must celebrate your birthday
33:57A ball, hunting, a live band
33:59I know those are all things you love and excel at
34:02Madam
34:04Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?
34:05Of course not
34:07Seb 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
35:02Little Mary should just do what she loves
35:05I want all the right horses
35:07I want to learn to hunt
35:08Father, where's the pony you promised to buy me?
35:13Father won't forget
35:15On your birthday
35:17I'll give you the pony
35:18And 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
35:27Streaming from your enemy's eyes
35:35Are you sure you want to host this birthday banquet?
35:38Margaret isn't even family
35:39Why go to all this trouble?
35:41Precisely because she isn't
35:42We must
35:43Earl Asherington carries great weight in London's social circles
35:47And if this marriage happens
35:49Your 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
36:11This 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
36:26Is 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
36:44And 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
36:51She 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, I'm going back to London
37:04You must attend
37:08On what grounds?
37:09I know you dislike socialising
37:12But you are the young master of the Hastings family
37:14If 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
37:29You should also let her
37:31See the world
37:33Very well
37:43Young master, there is a call for you
37:49Sebastian speaking
37:50Hello, 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
38:04Yes
38:06Actually, in a sense, I'm just like you
38:08You are an orphan with no parents
38:11And I
38:13Am an orphan with a mother
38:15Has something happened?
38:17I'm sorry
38:18Why are you apologising?
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
38:29Sure, I'd love to go with you
38:34Thank you
38:47Do I look good?
38:48Without a doubt
38:51Let's go
38:59Our hero has arrived
39:01Evelyn, you look stunning tonight
39:05Thank you, madam
39:14Distinguished guests
39:16Thank you all for joining us tonight
39:46To celebrate Miss Margaret Ashworth's birthday
39:49What an embarrassment
39:52I do not agree to this marriage
39:54Miss 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
40:14Miss Evelyn
40:14There is something I must say to you
40:16What words?
40:18I love you, Evelyn
40:19No matter what, I love you
40:24Are these tears
40:27To think I still have such things
40:31Sebastian, do you have any idea
40:33What 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?
40:52It is real
40:59I 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
41:09Actually a very bad person?
41:11Aren't you?
41:13In my eyes you have always been a little troublemaker
41:19I 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 hate
41:48Stop right there
41:56Did you sleep well last night?
41:59Of course, madam
42:02That's why I actually admire you
42:06If I were you
42:09Living under your enemies
42:10I would sleep with one eye open
42:13Wouldn't you?
42:14You might as well speak plainly, madam
42:15Mary Elizabeth Thornton
42:17Born in 1921, New York
42:21Father David Thornton
42:23Wealthy Manhattan businessman
42:24Mother Catherine Thornton
42:26Sister Sophia Thornton
42:28When little Mary was eight
42:29Her governess and her gangster boyfriend
42:31Collided to squeal the Thorntons out of everything
42:33David Thornton was beaten to death by lone harks
42:36Sophia Thornton was violated to death
42:38Catherine Thornton slit her wrists
42:40Catherine Thornton slit her wrists
42:41Little Mary was sent to an orphanage
42:46Does this story sound familiar to you, Little Mary?
42:50Doesn't it read just like a piece of tabloid news?
42:55Reading these letters, even I felt like shedding a tear or two for poor little Mary
43:00So, you came here for revenge
43:02For revenge from the very first day
43:03Am I right?
43:05I really didn't recognize that little bastard
43:07Who cowered on her tiny bed
43:09Watching me sleep with her father
43:11Without daring to utter a single sound
43:13Had grown up to be so big
43:16You knew I was awake
43:18I figured you did
43:19Yes, I knew
43:20Your father took advantage of me
43:22And now my son takes advantage of you
43:24Doesn't that make us even?
43:25How is that the same?
43:26No matter how wretched I am
43:27I would never compare myself to an old whore
43:29Go ahead, curse all you want
43:32Compared to what I took from your family
43:33Being insulted by you means absolutely nothing to me
43:36How tragic
43:37Why does he have a mother like you?
43:39In all these years
43:40Has there been even a single moment
43:41When you felt a shred of guilt for what you did?
43:46Guilt?
43:47Oh, young lady, you are delightfully naive
43:49It is a dog-eat-dog world
43:51That old horny dog of a father of yours
43:54Deserved to pay for his lust
43:55As for your sister
43:57She brought it upon herself
43:58Dying in a swarm of men
44:00Is that my fault?
44:02And your useless mother
44:03A mother who cannot protect her own child
44:05Doesn't deserve to live in this world anyway, does she?
44:08Look at me
44:09I would do anything for my son
44:11You are absolutely right
44:14It is a dog-eat-dog world
44:16I was too naive to ask a mad dog if she felt guilt
44:21At this stage, there's no need for me to kick you out, is there?
44:24If I see you tomorrow, don't blame me for having you thrown out
44:37My dearest Seb
44:38Since the day you left home
44:40I have departed from the castle
44:42And checked into the Red Lion Inn in town
44:44Next Tuesday is my birthday
44:46If you could come, I would be overjoyed
44:49Yours, Evelyn
44:59It is a pleasure to serve you, my beautiful lady
45:05Where are we going?
45:06You'll see when we get there
45:17Look at that
45:21What a gorgeous horse
45:24Do you like it?
45:25I love it
45:26This has been my birthday since I was a child
45:29Come
45:30Let me teach you how to ride
45:37Don't be nervous, I'm right here
45:42You know Seb, ever since I was small, my dream was to be a knight
45:49I know
45:57It's so heavy
46:00Align the sight here
46:01Steady your breathing
46:02And then
46:04Pull the trigger
46:10I hit it
46:11Seb, did you see that?
46:12I saw
46:13My girl is the best
46:22Just like that, my girl
46:23Just like that
46:23Aim and shoot
46:24Do not hesitate for a second
46:30To you
46:32Happy birthday
46:34To you
46:34Thank you
46:35I've had such a wonderful day today
46:40The atmosphere here reminds me of the little pub where I first met you
46:47Don't remind me
46:48If I hadn't met you, I would have been in a terrible state
46:50Thinking back now, I have to thank those two thugs
46:55Are you drunk after just one sip?
46:57If it weren't for them, how would I have had the chance to play the hero and save the beauty?
47:02Seb, you got to know my birthday wish today, what about yours?
47:06Is there any wish you want to come true?
47:10When I was a boy, my wish was to have a father
47:13Later, my mother
47:15She gave me quite a few fathers
47:16When I grew up a bit and joined the military
47:19My wish was to distinguish myself
47:20And then, the war broke out
47:24Since then, I never dared to make any more birthday wishes
47:27Until I met you
47:29I began to wish that my own birthday would arrive a little sooner
47:39What is it?
47:41It's nothing
47:41Let's go
47:51Seb?
47:55Don't you want to kiss me?
47:57You know I want to kiss you every single second
47:59Then kiss me
48:01I know what your wish is and it is my wish today too
48:04Is this truly what you wish?
48:06Of course
48:25I love you, Evelyn, no matter what
48:27I love you
48:48Help me!
48:51I've been raped!
49:04My lady
49:05The young master
49:06He has been taken away by the police
49:10What did you say?
49:11They say it's rape
49:12In Worcestershire
49:13That maid
49:15Evelyn reported to the police
49:19You say that again?
49:22Evelyn accused the young master of raping her
49:25The young master has been arrested
49:27My lady, my lady
49:29Someone come quickly
49:30Call a doctor!
49:33The doctor has been
49:34He said you're fine
49:35Just suffered a shock
49:36A lawyer
49:37Get me a lawyer
49:39The best one
49:39Right now
49:40Indeed, we need a lawyer
49:42Aside from cleaning up your son's mess
49:44I am divorcing you
49:45What did you say?
49:46At a time like this
49:47How can you say such a thing?
49:50Yes, I've had enough of you, Jane
49:52Had enough
49:52Aren't you afraid I won't leave you a single penny?
49:56Do as you please
50:02Sebastian!
50:05Mr. Hastings
50:06I am the lawyer hired by your mother
50:08I need to know what happened
50:09So I can defend you
50:11Mr. Hastings
50:13Can you tell me what happened that night?
50:16Sebastian, speak!
50:17Tell the lawyer you're innocent!
50:18You've been framed!
50:20Please say something!
50:22Please take me back
50:29Well, well
50:30You sent my son to prison
50:32Yet you're in the mood
50:33To sit here and read?
50:34What a pity
50:34The one who belongs in prison is you
50:39In the orphanage
50:40You have to fight for your food
50:42An old hag like you
50:43Wants to hit me
50:45Look at yourself
50:46The noble countess
50:50My son is innocent
50:51He never hurt you
50:53He loves you so much
50:54Can you please let him go?
50:56Your son is innocent?
50:56Then what about my sister?
50:58What about my mother?
51:00Speak!
51:01Who did they ever hurt?
51:02Which one of them wasn't innocent?
51:04I was wrong
51:05I only did it to give my son a better life
51:08Seeing how wonderful he is now
51:10Can you please?
51:11No
51:12What on earth will it take for you to let him go?
51:15Drop dead
51:16As long as you are dead, I'll let him go
51:24You filthy little whore
51:26One day you will go to hell just like your parents
51:32My lady, I am a lawyer from Sir Thompson's firm
51:35I have been commissioned by Earl Hastings to discuss the divorce proceedings with you
51:40Divorce?
51:45Please take a seat
51:46She needs some time to process this
51:51Must you discuss this with me right now?
51:54Rationally speaking, now is the most appropriate time
51:56I can't have Sebastian going to prison carrying the Hastings name, can I?
52:04Now you see why I must have a divorce?
52:07Seb is innocent
52:07That little siren framed him
52:09You are his stepfather
52:10Do you not know him at all?
52:11To be frank
52:11The only good thing you've ever done in your life
52:13Was giving birth to and raising this son
52:16But to be even frankly
52:17You do not deserve a good son
52:19Status, reputation
52:20Or any of those noble things
52:29Your Honour
52:30The victim in this case
52:31Miss Evelyn grew up in an orphanage
52:32With no parents and no one to rely on
52:34She came to England through her own hard work to become a maid
52:36Wanting nothing more than to live an ordinary life
52:38However, the defendant, Sebastian Hastings
52:40Used his status and power to commit an atrocious assault
52:43Against this helpless woman
52:44On the night of the incident
52:45Miss Evelyn had just celebrated her birthday
52:47She regarded the defendant as a friend
52:49Perhaps even more
52:50And the defendant exploited that trust
52:52The trust of a friend
52:54What did you see near the crime scene that night?
52:57I came out of the pub
52:58And heard someone calling for help
53:00Then I saw a young woman
53:02That lady over there
53:03Running toward me barefoot
53:04Trembling all over
53:05Crying so hard she couldn't speak
53:06When you saw her
53:07What did she say?
53:08She pointed at a car
53:09Parked on the roadside
53:10Saying the man inside
53:11Raped her
53:12And did you see the defendant at that time?
53:14Yes, I did
53:14He was sitting inside that luxury car
53:16What was he doing at the time?
53:17He was smoking
53:18He looked quite relaxed
53:19Didn't offer any explanation?
53:21No, he just sat there
53:21Smoking
53:24Mr. Hastings
53:25Do you have anything to say?
53:28No
53:28Speak up
53:29Tell them you didn't
53:35Defendant
53:36This court will give you one more chance
53:39If you remain silent
53:40This court will rule
53:41That you have pleated guilty by default
53:45Your Honor
53:46I
53:47May I
53:48May I say something?
53:50If it has nothing to do with this case
53:51Then please don't
53:52It is about
53:54The defendant
53:57Please speak
53:58Master Hastings
54:00That is
54:01The defendant
54:02He would never commit rape
54:03Never
54:06Master Hastings
54:07Is a decent gentleman
54:09He
54:10He never even let us maids
54:11Enter his bedroom
54:13He also
54:15Saved me
54:15He saved me
54:17And Evelyn
54:21Your Honor
54:22I also have something to say
54:24About the defendant
54:25And
54:26The victim
54:27What testimony
54:29Do you have to offer?
54:31Just like that young lady
54:32I absolutely do not believe
54:33The defendant would commit rape
54:34Do you have any evidence?
54:38It goes like this
54:39Last year
54:40Around October
54:41This Miss Evelyn
54:42Came to my pub
54:43To seek shelter from the rain
54:44At the time
54:45There were two notorious
54:45Scoundrels in my pub
54:46Seeing how beautiful
54:48This lady was
54:48They secretly drugged her drink
54:50Just as the scoundrels
54:51Were about to take her away
54:52Mr. Hastings
54:53Scared them off with a gun
54:54I asked him afterwards
54:55Aren't you afraid of going to prison
54:56For hurting someone?
54:57I remember him saying
54:57He said
54:58Ruining a rapist
54:59Is worth going to prison for
55:00Look at me, Seb
55:01If you just look at me now
55:03I will give up all my revenge
55:04Look at me
55:05And there is one more thing
55:08Later
55:09He helped the young lady
55:10Out of the pub
55:10Go on, sir
55:11When I went out
55:12To throw away the trash
55:13I saw the lady
55:14I saw the lady
55:16Throwing herself at him
55:17But he pushed her away
55:19Right then
55:20Your honour
55:21My son is innocent
55:23It's all that woman's fault
55:24She framed my son
55:26You should arrest her
55:27Order
55:27Send her to prison
55:28Order
55:31Your honour
55:31I plead guilty
55:33No
55:35Defendant
55:36What did you say?
55:38I plead guilty
55:38I raped Evelyn
55:40It is absolutely true
55:51Since the defendant
55:52Has voluntarily pleaded guilty
55:54This court will recess immediately
55:55For final deliberations
55:57Why?
55:58Why on earth
55:59Did you plead guilty?
56:00A son pays his mother's debts
56:02You
56:03You know everything?
56:05From now on
56:06You don't have a son
56:09Upon deliberation
56:10Between this court
56:10And the jury
56:11The defendant
56:12Is hereby sensed
56:13To three years in prison
56:23My lady
56:23You don't have to sign it now
56:24You can take your time
56:26To consider
56:34I have no son anymore
56:35What's the use of a son?
56:38Useless
56:41Everything is gone
56:42Everything has been taken away
56:44That's fine
56:45Peace and quiet
56:46I am the countess
56:48Even though I have nothing left
56:50I am still the countess
57:14Is it very busy today?
57:16You all look so exhausted
57:18Yes
57:19Many wounded soldiers
57:20Have been sent from the front line
57:27Miss Evelyn
57:29Jack
57:30What are you doing here?
57:31I came to visit
57:32Some old comrades
57:33I heard they were sent here
57:34Oh by the way
57:34Captain Sebastian
57:35Went to the front line
57:36This time too
57:36Do you have any news of him?
57:38You haven't heard?
57:39I thought you two
57:40Were quite close
57:42Has he gone to war?
57:43Is he doing okay?
57:44Don't worry
57:45Captain Sebastian
57:45Fights very bravely
57:46He'll definitely return in triumph
57:48Fights bravely
57:50You really didn't have to comfort me
57:53Excuse me
57:54Is this Lord Hastings?
57:55Speaking
57:56May I ask who is calling?
57:58Good afternoon Lord Hastings
58:00It's Evelyn
58:00Good afternoon
58:01To what do I owe the pleasure
