A detailed analysis of a long XMM-Newton observationof the NLS1 galaxy 1H0707-495 is presented. In addition to explaining the spectral drop at 7 keV as the blue wing of a broad iron K line, we also detect a broad iron L-line. The two lines are reprocessed emission from cold, Compton thick reflector, and the broadening is due to gravitational and relativistic effects. Furthermore, we detect a significant time lag, the first to be seen in an AGN, between the direct power-law and the reflected component. This is a further confirmation of the reflection nature of the spectrum, and it is interpreted as reverberation within a few gravitational radii of the black hole.
