00:00:00The Duke of Mercia.

00:00:02I've returned to find my family.

00:00:04The Duke is coming.

00:00:05This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.

00:00:09Your son is not coming back.

00:00:12No!

00:00:13Because he's dead.

00:00:15It's your own fault you lost your son.

00:00:18I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.

00:00:20He didn't recognize the necklace.

00:00:22Your land has been seized.

00:00:24What?

00:00:25No, this is our family home!

00:00:26Sign it, now!

00:00:27No.

00:00:28Stop it!

00:00:30Your son was taken, you say?

00:00:33Could this be me?

00:00:34My memories are faint, cladded by the injury I sustained during the war.

00:00:38Say goodbye to your son.

00:00:40That woman...

00:00:41Possibly the Duke is my Arthur.

00:00:50Once upon a time, the kingdom of Mercia is at war.

00:00:54Every man must stand and fight.

00:00:58No!

00:00:59No!

00:01:00No!

00:01:01No!

00:01:02Please!

00:01:03Please!

00:01:04I don't want to go to war!

00:01:05Spare me!

00:01:09I'm scared, Arthur.

00:01:11Will they take you and Papa away too?

00:01:14No.

00:01:15They won't.

00:01:16Okay?

00:01:17I got something for both of you.

00:01:20I had these blessed by the church today.

00:01:24This one is for you, Arthur.

00:01:30And this one, Anna, is for you.

00:01:33May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:01:39Thank you, Mom.

00:01:40I love you.

00:01:42Mama?

00:01:43Yes?

00:01:44My belly hurts.

00:01:45I think I need to go potty.

00:01:46I see.

00:01:47Yes, I...

00:01:48Wait, Mama.

00:01:49It's Papa's birthday today.

00:01:50I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef.

00:01:53Just a little bit.

00:01:54Just a little bit.

00:01:55I'm sorry, Spare.

00:01:56We can't afford beef.

00:01:58Maybe we could have a chicken.

00:02:00Your favorite chicken pie.

00:02:01Huzzah!

00:02:02Thank you, Mom.

00:02:03I love you.

00:05:45you

00:06:12I have a feeling I know why you're here.

00:06:21Your Majesty, nothing escapes you.

00:06:24Nothing does escape me, which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford.

00:06:29You'll oversee the building of a new fort to strengthen our borders.

00:06:34The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.

00:06:38But Your Majesty, my duty as a Duke is to protect...

00:06:40Go, my boy, you've fought enough battles for me, and did a great service to the Kingdom of Mercia.

00:06:53This is why I gave you the title of Duke.

00:06:58Go back to Stamford, find your family.

00:07:02They will be so proud to see the man you've become.

00:07:06And while you're at it, build me that castle.

00:07:10I won't let you down, sir.

00:07:20I miss you.

00:07:24Robert, my sweet nephew, here.

00:07:27All my wages.

00:07:30I'm depending on you.

00:07:32You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin, I beg of you.

00:07:39Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive.

00:07:42I'll look into it, but not today.

00:07:45The Duke is coming to Stamford.

00:07:47Everything has to be perfect.

00:07:49The Duke is coming.

00:07:52Robert, maybe you can ask the Duke to help me find my son.

00:07:56I've heard that the Duke is a great knight in battle,

00:07:58so perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with this necklace.

00:08:02Maybe he knows my Arthur.

00:08:04Have you lost your wits?

00:08:07Ask the Duke for help.

00:08:09Who do you think you are?

00:08:10Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the Duke for such trifles.

00:08:15Robert, please just have him take a look.

00:08:17It's your own fault you lost your son.

00:08:32Don't blame other people for your own negligence.

00:08:34It is my fault.

00:08:35I should have never let him out of my sight.

00:08:37I regret it every single day.

00:08:40But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages,

00:08:43you would help me find my son.

00:08:45I told you not today.

00:08:49The Duke could be here any second.

00:08:52Get lost before he sees your ugly face.

00:08:58The Duke is here.

00:08:59Go.

00:09:00Get.

00:09:11That's the Duke.

00:09:13He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.

00:09:17The king treats him like a suck.

00:09:27I don't know.

00:09:58Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.

00:10:05Welcome, Your Grace.

00:10:06Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.

00:10:09We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?

00:10:12Your Grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.

00:10:16I beg for your forgiveness.

00:10:18It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.

00:10:21You are too kind, Your Grace.

00:10:23I've returned to find my family.

00:10:25Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.

00:10:28I shall have them brought here at once.

00:10:30My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.

00:10:35But my mother should wear a pendant like this.

00:10:42May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:10:48Could this be me?

00:10:59Find who this belongs to.

00:11:00I will see to this personally.

00:11:05Mom, where are you?

00:11:08The Duke of Mercia has come to the Baron's Manor.

00:11:15The king must hold him in high regard.

00:11:18They say he's looking for his family.

00:11:20Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?

00:11:23Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family, then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my author.

00:11:32Don't be stupid.

00:11:37This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.

00:11:42How could a man like that be your son?

00:11:44Your son probably died on the battlefield.

00:11:48Stop being delusional.

00:11:51No.

00:11:53I must see the Duke.

00:11:55Have you lost your mind?

00:11:57Have you lost your mind?

00:12:02I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.

00:12:28Did someone call my name just now?

00:12:29Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.

00:12:33No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.

00:12:40What were you thinking?

00:12:43Your actions will bring my family down with you.

00:12:46Robert just became butler.

00:12:48I won't have you ruining things for him.

00:12:51I swear, that was my son.

00:12:53That was Arthur.

00:12:54You have truly gone mad.

00:12:56That was the Duke, the second most important man in the entire kingdom.

00:13:02How could a man of such standing be your son?

00:13:07He looked just like him.

00:13:09I swear that...

00:13:11Ow!

00:13:12Ow!

00:13:13Do you mean to get us all hung?

00:13:16Calling the Duke your son?

00:13:18What an insult to that fine gentleman.

00:13:21Please, just let me speak to him.

00:13:24Let me show him this.

00:13:31Ow!

00:13:33Ow!

00:13:38Robert!

00:13:40Robert!

00:13:41Don't!

00:13:42Not while the Duke is here.

00:13:44Robert!

00:13:46What are you doing to my mother?

00:13:48Anna!

00:13:49Give me that back I needed to find Arthur.

00:13:53Worthless piece of junk.

00:13:55Robert, we're family.

00:13:57We're supposed to help each other.

00:14:00What you've done?

00:14:01Family?

00:14:03It's bad enough that we share the same blood.

00:14:06My son has risen up through the ranks,

00:14:09while yours only grows poorer and poorer.

00:14:13It's pathetic, really.

00:14:15I know, but I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur,

00:14:20and you...

00:14:21You never even planned to find Arthur.

00:14:26You never even thought to look for him.

00:14:28You liar!

00:14:30You cheat!

00:14:31Give me back my coin!

00:14:33Don't touch me with your filthy hands!

00:14:36In this, say goodbye to your son.

00:14:44No!

00:14:47Mother, no!

00:14:53Mother, no!

00:14:55Ow!

00:14:58Come, Mother.

00:14:59Let's go.

00:15:00Oh, Anna, what have I done?

00:15:04We'll never be able to find Arthur enough with this.

00:15:07It's all right.

00:15:07It's all right, Mother.

00:15:08Have you forgotten?

00:15:09I carry one, too.

00:15:12Oh, Anna.

00:15:14Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,

00:15:17I'll see what I can do.

00:15:19Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?

00:15:37Your Grace, my Lord.

00:15:40Oh, forgive me, Your Grace.

00:16:02Useless girl!

00:16:03Your Grace, are you all right?

00:16:07I'm fine, Lord, Benjamin.

00:16:09No need to punish her for a simple mistake.

00:16:12Your kindness humbles us all.

00:16:15Well, don't just sit there.

00:16:18Clean yourself up!

00:16:22Why does she seem so familiar?

00:16:25It seems that I have someone the Duke might want.

00:16:29How could Robert do this to you?

00:16:35He beat you.

00:16:38You're his aunt for crying out loud.

00:16:40Oh, Carl.

00:16:42You know your family has always been cruel to us.

00:16:46It's only going to get worse

00:16:47now that Robert is butler to the baron.

00:16:52Mother?

00:16:53Father?

00:16:54This place is so familiar to me.

00:16:59And it's strategic.

00:17:02I'll build the new fort here.

00:17:04See to it that all the families along this road

00:17:06are asked to leave.

00:17:07And compensate them well.

00:17:09I will start the process right away.

00:17:18Father.

00:17:19What did the Duke say?

00:17:21Did he...

00:17:22Mother.

00:17:26What?

00:17:27I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.

00:17:30No.

00:17:31He does...

00:17:32He does resemble him, yes,

00:17:34but he didn't recognize the necklace.

00:17:37No.

00:17:40I'm so sorry.

00:17:42I thought it was him.

00:17:44I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.

00:17:47I know at least you'll sleep easier

00:17:49knowing this is by your side.

00:18:01Oh, your grace.

00:18:03I dare say you look as handsome as ever.

00:18:06These clothes are much more comfortable.

00:18:14Leave me.

00:18:15I wish to explore the city by myself.

00:18:17See if anything can jog my memory.

00:18:19Yes, your grace.

00:18:29Well, it must be Anna.

00:18:30She must have forgot something.

00:18:33Anna?

00:18:34What are you all doing here?

00:18:44Especially after what you did to my wife.

00:18:46Long time no see, brother.

00:18:47Still living in this hovel, huh?

00:18:50Would you like some bread?

00:18:52We were just about to sit down for lunch,

00:18:55so I can offer you a fresh loaf.

00:18:57You call this food?

00:18:59The baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.

00:19:07But fortune favors the undeserving.

00:19:11Now you'll be able to buy some real food.

00:19:14What do you mean, Laura?

00:19:16Tell them, Robert.

00:19:17It really is a shack.

00:19:27But luckily it'll be gone soon.

00:19:30Your land has been seized.

00:19:32This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.

00:19:35No.

00:19:35To bolster our defenses.

00:19:38The order came directly from the Duke himself.

00:19:40No.

00:19:41But you will be well compensated for the trouble.

00:19:45What?

00:19:46Just sign here and you'll receive 20 gold pieces.

00:19:51As your brother, I should be entitled to half.

00:19:55But as you have no son, and I have a son,

00:19:58I ought to take two thirds.

00:19:59What?

00:20:00No, this is our family home.

00:20:02No.

00:20:03If Arthur returns, how will he find his way home?

00:20:06She's right.

00:20:07We won't give up our land.

00:20:08Not for 20 gold coin.

00:20:09Not for nothing.

00:20:10Then you are dafter than I thought.

00:20:12Let me remind you,

00:20:14your son is not coming back because he's dead.

00:20:19No.

00:20:20No, no, no.

00:20:21You hold your tongue.

00:20:22Arthur will return.

00:20:23And we will remain here until he does.

00:20:25We won't give up hope.

00:20:26Not for any penny coin.

00:20:28You don't get a say.

00:20:30The order comes from above.

00:20:32Enough of this insolence.

00:20:33Leave my house at once.

00:20:34Leave my house.

00:20:35Carl.

00:20:38Carl.

00:20:39Carl, you're right.

00:20:43We are family.

00:20:45We are supposed to support each other.

00:20:47And if you can't do that, then leave.

00:20:48Then you've chosen death.

00:20:50So be it.

00:20:54This place really does feel so familiar.

00:20:57I'll tell you this one last time.

00:21:11Sign a damn contract or I'll beat you to death.

00:21:13You are his brother.

00:21:15How can you do this to him?

00:21:16No man as useless as him deserves to be my brother.

00:21:19Oh.

00:21:20Ow.

00:21:21You're a monster.

00:21:23Sign it.

00:21:24Now.

00:21:25No.

00:21:27No.

00:21:27Ah.

00:21:28Ah.

00:21:29Ah.

00:21:30Ah.

00:21:31Ah.

00:21:32Ah.

00:21:33Ah.

00:21:34Ah.

00:21:35Ah.

00:21:36Ah.

00:21:37Ah.

00:21:38Stop it.

00:21:50Stop it.

00:21:52That's an order.

00:21:55What's a peasant like you doing here?

00:21:57Cross me and I'll beat you up too.

00:22:00You know who my son works for?

00:22:01The Baron.

00:22:02We're here to seize this land off his orders.

00:22:04So you better stay out of our affairs.

00:22:06So you're the Baron's henchman.

00:22:08I told him to see that every family is compensated fairly.

00:22:13And this is how you choose to do it?

00:22:21Good folks.

00:22:22You have my word.

00:22:24I will make this matter right.

00:22:26Lord Benjamin requests your land to build a new fort.

00:22:28But we will provide whatever is necessary for you.

00:22:31Do you know the Baron?

00:22:33Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?

00:22:36All we ask is that we remain here.

00:22:37We cannot leave our home, please.

00:22:39Rest assured, you will be well compensated if you choose to depart.

00:22:44No, we don't want coin.

00:22:46This is my son's home.

00:22:48If it's torn down, he will never find his way home.

00:22:52Your son was taken, you say?

00:22:53Yes.

00:22:54He was only 13 years old.

00:22:57Taken far too young.

00:22:58Constricted by the Baron's soldiers.

00:23:00If we leave, he'll never find his way back.

00:23:04Please.

00:23:06Please, I beg of you.

00:23:11He's pinned.

00:23:13Yes.

00:23:14It was a token.

00:23:15A promise that my children and I would always be family together.

00:23:19This one is for you, Arthur.

00:23:29What?

00:23:41Mother.

00:23:42Arthur.

00:23:45Is it you?

00:23:46It's me, Mom.

00:23:49I've come home.

00:23:51My boy.

00:23:52Ten long years.

00:23:54We searched for you.

00:23:55And finally, you've come back to us.

00:23:59I'm sorry.

00:24:01I've been a bad son.

00:24:03But I promise, I will give you the life you deserve from here on out.

00:24:07Please forgive me.

00:24:09Can we stop with the theatrics?

00:24:19Ten years have passed and cousin Arthur returns as a peasant.

00:24:24I'd cry too if this were my son.

00:24:26Laura and George, do you see?

00:24:27Arthur has come home.

00:24:29What's there to cheer for?

00:24:30A beggar for a son?

00:24:32Or a thief, more likely.

00:24:34Look at him.

00:24:35Wandering around, starving and desperate.

00:24:40I don't care what you say.

00:24:41But my son has come home and he is everything to me.

00:24:45Let's go inside and I will make your favorite roast.

00:24:49And George and Laura, I would prefer if you left.

00:24:53We would like to celebrate alone as a family.

00:24:55We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool.

00:24:59No, Robert, Shirley, you understand.

00:25:04You're family.

00:25:05We'd like to celebrate.

00:25:07This lowlife doesn't deserve anything.

00:25:12I'm done arguing with you at this pigsty.

00:25:16Don't you point your finger at me.

00:25:18I could do much worse.

00:25:20Or do you want me to get my fiancée so you can beg for her forgiveness instead?

00:25:24Remember, I'm engaged to the prestigious Lady Edith.

00:25:29If she finds out about this, you'll all get a good beating.

00:25:32Go away!

00:25:36This is a joyous day.

00:25:44And I do not wish to spend it squabbling with you, Ilk.

00:25:47Kneel before us, apologize, and be gone.

00:25:51You son of a whore.

00:25:57I'm the Baron's butler.

00:25:59The highest on his staff.

00:26:01You think I'd kneel to a common maid?

00:26:05You better show your respect.

00:26:10Now will you go?

00:26:14You scum!

00:26:15I'll have you know just how much I am worth.

00:26:18Inform Lady Edith.

00:26:19Ask her to come, won't you?

00:26:20Yes, Mr. Wellesley.

00:26:22Well, well, well.

00:26:24You fools have chosen not to take the gold.

00:26:26But it was the Baron's orders.

00:26:28Your hovel must come down.

00:26:31Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?

00:26:33That's Baron Stamford to you.

00:26:35On the contrary.

00:26:37I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.

00:26:39Are you mad?

00:26:42Who do you think you are?

00:26:44The Duke pulling rank like you're anything special.

00:26:49I dare say I'm special enough that even Lord Benjamin would kneel before me.

00:26:53What's that I hear about the Baron?

00:26:59Lord Benjamin, sir.

00:27:01The Duke has dismissed his guards and gone on a stroll.

00:27:04Where to?

00:27:05Around where the families are being asked to relocate, sir.

00:27:08What?

00:27:08Well, I hope he doesn't run into the Wellesleys.

00:27:11Guards, come with me.

00:27:13What's that I hear about the Baron?

00:27:23Did I just hear someone disrespecting my cousin, the Baron of Stamford?

00:27:28I tried to pay these lowlifes with gold, but they refused to leave their pigsty, and their

00:27:36son even hit me.

00:27:38You scumbag.

00:27:42How dare you lay your dirty hands on my fiancé?

00:27:45Do you know who I am?

00:27:47Why would I care who you are?

00:27:49He hit my parents, so I hit him back.

00:27:52Sounds fair to me.

00:27:53You are in the town of Stamford, my cousin's jurisdiction, and Robert is his head butler.

00:28:00You'll pay for what you've done.

00:28:02Bring him to the dungeons.

00:28:04No.

00:28:05I'll teach him a lesson.

00:28:06No, no, no, no, please, no.

00:28:07Please don't.

00:28:08Please don't.

00:28:10Lord Benjamin's cousin.

00:28:12Is this how he taught you to behave?

00:28:14Oh.

00:28:15I didn't expect a lowly peasant like you to know who my cousin is.

00:28:19Don't tell me he's spoken to you before.

00:28:21Of course.

00:28:22In fact, why don't you ask him who I am?

00:28:25That's enough.

00:28:27Guards, seize him.

00:28:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:28:30Don't take her.

00:28:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:28:31Please, he just came back.

00:28:32No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:28:32Please don't.

00:28:34Let go of me.

00:28:35This is your last chance.

00:28:37Seize me, and you'll have to face the consequences of your crime.

00:28:41As if I'd fear anything from a runt like you.

00:28:43I could kill you right now if I wanted to.

00:28:46Kill me?

00:28:47No.

00:28:48Is that right?

00:28:48No.

00:28:49Fine.

00:28:50I'll go with you.

00:28:51But don't say I didn't warn you.

00:28:52Watch your tongue.

00:28:54But don't worry.

00:28:55Soon, you'll be too busy screaming in my dungeon to talk back.

00:29:00Please, please don't hurt him.

00:29:01No, Arthur.

00:29:02Father, mother, don't worry.

00:29:05I'll be back very soon.

00:29:06You think you're coming back?

00:29:08Take him away.

00:29:09Oh, Arthur.

00:29:11Take your hand out of my side.

00:29:14Well, well.

00:29:15I didn't expect that runt to hit me.

00:29:17Just wait.

00:29:18The two of you will join him soon.

00:29:20Let's go, Father.

00:29:22Serves you right, brother.

00:29:23Oh, Arthur.

00:29:25Oh, Arthur.

00:29:29What happened here?

00:29:36Lord Benjamin, it was all your butler's doing.

00:29:40And your cousin, Lady Edith.

00:29:42They even took my son to the dungeon.

00:29:44Your son?

00:29:47Tall and with dark hair?

00:29:55We need to go.

00:29:56Now.

00:29:57Now.

00:29:59God, Carl, what are we going to do?

00:30:00Because Arthur's gone.

00:30:02Anne.

00:30:03Anne is engaged to John Moore.

00:30:05The Moors can help.

00:30:06They're engaged?

00:30:07Yes, but that was years ago.

00:30:08John Moore's a rich man now.

00:30:09He's really...

00:30:10We have to try, Carl.

00:30:11Please.

00:30:13You're right.

00:30:13We have to try.

00:30:14You're right.

00:30:14We have to try.

00:30:15We have to find our son.

00:30:16We have to try.

00:30:16What happened to that fire?

00:30:22That rage?

00:30:24Scared of the consequences now, runt?

00:30:26Consequences?

00:30:27For giving you what you deserve.

00:30:34Watch your mouth.

00:30:37Your family is done for, and you're still talking back.

00:30:43No, my lady.

00:30:44It's your family that's done for.

00:30:46I've made up my mind.

00:30:48I will not spare you.

00:30:51Me needing sparing from you.

00:30:54You've gone mad.

00:30:56It seems like you've gotten it in your head that you could do something to us.

00:31:04Let me remind you of your place.

00:31:17You insolent brat!

00:31:21What are you doing?

00:31:24Reminding you of your place.

00:31:26Stop it or I'll have you killed!

00:31:31You have me killed.

00:31:33You've got the wrong man.

00:31:47Consider it your warning, cousin.

00:31:51The gall of you!

00:31:53Threatening me and then calling yourself my cousin!

00:31:56I won't let you off easy!

00:31:58Oh!

00:31:59You want another go?

00:32:00Still trying to act tough?

00:32:02It seems like we'll need to teach you a lesson.

00:32:05Guards!

00:32:06Flog him!

00:32:09Hold it!

00:32:10You're not flogging anyone.

00:32:18Hold it!

00:32:19Hold it!

00:32:19Oh, cousin, you don't understand this lowly scum had disregarded your orders and impeded the Duke's relocation efforts and he even tried to punch me!

00:32:35Cousin Benjamin, you must see to it that he is punished!

00:32:38Stop oinking once the Baron showed up, hmm?

00:32:42Your side of the Wellesley family is going to be dinner!

00:32:45Sir, this lowly villain is unfortunately my cousin.

00:32:50Just like his parents, they've no regard for your authority.

00:32:53That's right, Benjamin.

00:32:55What happened again?

00:32:56We had gone to the less fortunate Wellesley's to evict them, but he tried to stop us.

00:33:01So, Edith had him brought here to teach him a lesson, but it looks like he hasn't learned anything.

00:33:07Oh, sir, you don't know the half of it.

00:33:09He hit us and ordered us to kneel to him.

00:33:12He even said that you were lowlier than he.

00:33:15You must punish him accordingly.

00:33:18As I was saying, the consequences of your actions.

00:33:24You fool.

00:33:26There will be consequences, all right.

00:33:28For you!

00:33:29What for, sir?

00:33:32Have I done something wrong, sir?

00:33:34I don't...

00:33:35Cousin, you misunderstand.

00:33:39There is no misunderstanding.

00:33:42Have you lost your mind?

00:33:43Do you know who this man is?

00:33:45Do you know who this man is?

00:33:51He's nothing but a beggar, the son of peasants.

00:33:57Get out of my sight, you pathetic woman.

00:34:03Duke of Mercia, your grace.

00:34:07Pardon my tardiness.

00:34:11Duke?

00:34:12What do you mean, Duke?

00:34:14Sir, you must be mistaken.

00:34:17Rightly so.

00:34:17He's a peasant, a beggar.

00:34:20How could he be the Duke?

00:34:24Don't question me.

00:34:26No.

00:34:27No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:34:28This is possible.

00:34:30How can you say you're the Duke?

00:34:31Duke of Mercia?

00:34:32Oh, no, no, no.

00:34:32Oh.

00:34:33Shut it, Wellesley.

00:34:35You have no right to speak.

00:34:37That lowlife's the Duke?

00:34:39Carl's son is the Duke?

00:34:41Oh, no.

00:34:42No.

00:34:43George, what have we done?

00:34:45Oh.

00:34:46Lord Vengeance, it seems that you've neglected your duties as baron.

00:34:58Your people have shown me nothing but disdain.

00:35:02They take from the poor, torture your innocent, pillage and kill.

00:35:06Have you no order in Stanford?

00:35:09I'll have them punished for their wrongdoings.

00:35:12Their wrongdoings?

00:35:13I imagine then it was you who have allowed them to do this.

00:35:18And it is you who must be punished.

00:35:21Mercy, Your Grace.

00:35:23I'll have them flogged, exiled, punished to the extent of the law.

00:35:28Please, Your Grace, spare us.

00:35:31Your cousin.

00:35:32It's my fault.

00:35:36See, Your Grace, I've been a fool.

00:35:40Punish me, flog me as you will.

00:35:42But let me live.

00:35:45We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.

00:35:48I don't want to die.

00:35:51Young Arthur, my son had just become a butler.

00:35:54He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.

00:35:58Please, we adore him so.

00:36:00You mustn't kill him or exile him.

00:36:04Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's old brother.

00:36:10Oh, you're too cruel, Arthur.

00:36:13How can you do this to another Wellesley?

00:36:19Cruelty?

00:36:20Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?

00:36:23Threatening to leave them homeless and laughing in their face when they begged you?

00:36:28Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?

00:36:30Your own brother?

00:36:34And cousin Robert?

00:36:35What happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?

00:36:39Did you pity your poor cousin then?

00:36:41I've seen you for what you are.

00:36:44Shameless and wretched scum.

00:36:46You are unfit to live.

00:36:51Have them dealt with.

00:36:53And think about what you've done.

00:36:54You're meant to be noble.

00:36:56Not only in your actions, but in your name.

00:36:59See that your people behave.

00:37:01Or I'll have your title removed.

00:37:02I will see to them personally.

00:37:06Oh, please.

00:37:07Oh, sir.

00:37:08Please.

00:37:10Robert deceived me.

00:37:11It's all his fault.

00:37:13Please, Duke Arthur.

00:37:14Spare me.

00:37:16I'll do anything for you.

00:37:18Egypt.

00:37:19What are you doing?

00:37:22You villain.

00:37:23If it weren't for you, I never would have gotten involved with this mess.

00:37:27I'm calling off our engagement.

00:37:29From this moment onward, I'll have nothing to do with you.

00:37:32I beg of you, O'Greyden, Honorable Duke.

00:37:34Forgive me.

00:37:35Don't you want to see what I have to offer?

00:37:41Save it, sloth.

00:37:42Lord Benjamin, make sure these vermin never cross my path again.

00:37:48They make me sick.

00:37:54Guards!

00:37:56Lock them up.

00:37:57Cousin, please!

00:37:58Won't you speak to him?

00:38:00Just let me go.

00:38:01I won't ever do it again.

00:38:04No!

00:38:05No!

00:38:06Cousin!

00:38:08Please!

00:38:09Please!

00:38:09No!

00:38:12In good news, Benjamin, I found my parents.

00:38:19Oh, that is wonderful, Your Grace.

00:38:22What a blessed day it is.

00:38:24I wish to host a banquet tonight.

00:38:26Introduce my parents to upper society.

00:38:30Life has been cruel to them, and I wish for them to live happily.

00:38:34Oh, and my sister, too, Anna.

00:38:37I want to do something special for her as well.

00:38:40Did you just say Anna?

00:38:41Anna?

00:38:42It's in the maid, Anna.

00:38:44Right.

00:38:45Anna.

00:38:45She works here, doesn't she?

00:38:49Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.

00:38:54Mr. Wellesley, Lord Benjamin says Anna is to attend to the Duke personally for the next few days.

00:39:00Did you just say Anna?

00:39:07It's in the maid, Anna.

00:39:09Right.

00:39:10Anna.

00:39:10She works here, doesn't she?

00:39:12Bring me to her.

00:39:13No, Your Grace.

00:39:14I...

00:39:15What?

00:39:16I thought...

00:39:17I thought that you fancied her, so I...

00:39:19What have you done?

00:39:21Bring me to her right now!

00:39:22You have fine features.

00:39:36For a scullery maid, I can see why he likes you.

00:39:41Mr. Crowley, did you need something?

00:39:44Yes, pet.

00:39:45You have been chosen.

00:39:52Take off your clothes.

00:39:54What are you going to do to me?

00:39:56Oh, don't worry.

00:39:56I have no interest in you.

00:39:59I wouldn't dare.

00:40:00Put this on.

00:40:10Perfect.

00:40:11I can see why he chose you in particular.

00:40:15Mr. Crowley, what's all this about?

00:40:17The Baron has ordered you to meet another client.

00:40:21A big man.

00:40:22You are to be his mistress.

00:40:24To satisfy his physical needs, of course.

00:40:28An honor for a common whore like you.

00:40:31No, I refuse.

00:40:33You don't have a choice.

00:40:36Baron's orders.

00:40:40Do you even know who you are serving?

00:40:42It is the Duke.

00:40:44The one you poured tea on.

00:40:46What?

00:40:46The Duke?

00:40:47Aw, dumb already, are you?

00:40:49Still think you can say no, whore?

00:40:51Please, I don't want to.

00:40:53It's a good opportunity, damn it.

00:41:01Mr. Crowley, I'm betrothed.

00:41:04I don't want to be another man's mistress.

00:41:08Hadn't your father just fallen ill?

00:41:10Weren't you complaining about money?

00:41:12Don't you even want to help your family, you ingrate?

00:41:14Sir.

00:41:27Serve the Duke, and the money's yours.

00:41:29You'll have no short supply of expensive little trinkets.

00:41:40I would never sell my body.

00:41:44Not for a few coppers.

00:41:46Not for anything.

00:41:47I am a woman of honor.

00:41:51Honor is for people who deserve it, not a lowly whore like you.

00:41:55You don't get to stay now!

00:42:09Oh my God, please!

00:42:11Hands off!

00:42:12Oh my God!

00:42:13You don't get to stay now!

00:42:15Oh my God, please!

00:42:18Hands off!

00:42:21He didn't hurt you, did he?

00:42:23Are you the Duke, sir?

00:42:26Sir, what is the meaning of this?

00:42:29You imbecile!

00:42:31But sir, you said...

00:42:33Have you no shame acting like this in my manner?

00:42:38Surrey, this bitch refused your orders.

00:42:42It is my right as house steward to teach her a lesson.

00:42:49Apologize to her, or I'll have you fired.

00:42:52Apologize, sir, but she's the lowly scullery maid.

00:42:56She was out of line!

00:43:00A lowly maid?

00:43:03Mark my words, she's Duke Arthur's sister.

00:43:05She's his sister?

00:43:11The lowly maid is his sister?

00:43:14Are you really my brother?

00:43:17My Arthur?

00:43:19Yes, Anna.

00:43:21I've come back to protect you, and mother, and father.

00:43:24Arthur, where have you been all these years, you've missed you terribly?

00:43:31Here, there.

00:43:34Let me deal with this man first.

00:43:36Mm-hmm.

00:43:37Once again, Lord Benjamin, your men have shown their true colors.

00:43:46Disgusting and vile.

00:43:48Sir, I failed to discipline them.

00:43:51But yes.

00:43:53Sir, Duke, I was wrong.

00:43:57I would have never treated her like that had I known that she was your sister.

00:44:00Yet you see no issue in treating her this way if she wasn't.

00:44:07Isn't that so?

00:44:10Lowly servants?

00:44:11They're worthless in your eyes, aren't they?

00:44:14Well, Mr. Stewart, you're worthless to me.

00:44:16No!

00:44:17It was Benjamin, the Baron!

00:44:18Lord!

00:44:19He asked me to!

00:44:19No, I didn't!

00:44:21God!

00:44:22Don't enter the dungeon!

00:44:24No!

00:44:24No, please!

00:44:26No, sir!

00:44:27No!

00:44:28No!

00:44:29No!

00:44:30Anna, tell me truly, are you all right?

00:44:36Yes, I am now, because you're back.

00:44:40And I can't believe it, you're the Duke!

00:44:42Oh, let's go see Mother and Father, they'll be overjoyed, I just know it!

00:44:47Anna, I've already met them.

00:44:49Oh, then you must know the years have been quite hard on them.

00:44:54But it's all worth it, because you're back.

00:44:57Anna, stay here.

00:44:59I'll bring them here, okay?

00:45:03Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently at the Moors.

00:45:07John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.

00:45:10Yes, John and I are engaged, but...

00:45:15He's your fiancé, Anna.

00:45:17So I'll love him like a brother.

00:45:19Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.

00:45:21I want to show our parents high society.

00:45:24And invite John Moore.

00:45:27I'll speak to the king.

00:45:28See if he can grant him a noble title.

00:45:30As you wish, Duke Arthur.

00:45:42Is that the Moors' home?

00:45:44Fine place for a merchant family, but...

00:45:46They'll be able to afford better very soon.

00:45:48Well, we're here.

00:45:54The home of our supposed son-in-law.

00:45:56Yeah.

00:45:56You tartaring fool.

00:46:06No!

00:46:07Why have you come back?

00:46:12John, this is your fiancé's father.

00:46:15Ow!

00:46:15You will call me Mr. Moore.

00:46:19And you are nothing to me.

00:46:21John!

00:46:22That's Mr. Moore.

00:46:24Shut up.

00:46:26I'm sorry.

00:46:27Mr. Moore, please, let's talk.

00:46:30And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancé?

00:46:34You've always been poor, but now you're liars, too.

00:46:37Mr. Moore, you know as well as I do.

00:46:39You've been betrothed to Anna for years.

00:46:43Your father and I, we had an arrangement.

00:46:44That may be so, but circumstances have changed.

00:46:48Do you think my father would want me marrying someone that comes from you filthy swine?

00:46:54That's not why we're here today.

00:46:57We're here because...

00:46:58Oh, I know.

00:47:00Money.

00:47:00Isn't that right?

00:47:04Alms for the poor.

00:47:06Now away with you.

00:47:08Mr. Moore, we didn't come here today for money.

00:47:11That's enough!

00:47:12Your breath reeks.

00:47:16Beat some sense into the old caja and take him out of here.

00:47:20I'd like to see you try.

00:47:24I'd like to see you try.

00:47:25Arthur, my boy, they set you free.

00:47:33Rightfully so, father.

00:47:34Oh, Arthur.

00:47:36It's so good to see you alive and well.

00:47:39Father.

00:47:40Mother.

00:47:41Robert's been punished for what he did to you.

00:47:44You must be the son I keep hearing so much about.

00:47:47Weren't you kidnapped to join the army?

00:47:49He'd run away, did you?

00:47:52And now you've come here to leech off me.

00:47:54You're John Moore.

00:47:57Now, did I hear you say you wanted to have my father beaten?

00:48:02So what if I did?

00:48:03What's a runt like you going to do about it anyway?

00:48:08Cry?

00:48:09Piss your pants?

00:48:10Say that again.

00:48:18If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister,

00:48:22then you'd be wrong.

00:48:24Let go of me, you dirty dog.

00:48:26Resulting to violence now, are we?

00:48:33Like the lowlife you are.

00:48:36Come on then.

00:48:38Hit me.

00:48:39And you regret ever being born.

00:48:41You think that can stop me?

00:48:44Who do you think you are?

00:48:53Oh, it's just a peasant.

00:48:56John, my darling, I come bearing good news.

00:48:59Father says the duke has arranged for a banquet at the manor and you're invited.

00:49:03And the duke is going to ask the king to grant you a title.

00:49:06Finally, you can be part of upper society and we can marry.

00:49:08A title?

00:49:09Adela, tell me it's true.

00:49:11I finally have a name to match my wealth.

00:49:15No one will be able to tell us what to do.

00:49:17No one will be able to say no to us.

00:49:21Of course it's true, John, darling.

00:49:23The duke adores my father.

00:49:24He's the baron, after all.

00:49:26In fact, the duke is at the manor right now.

00:49:30Don't waste your time with these peasants.

00:49:32Let's go, John.

00:49:33Lady Adela, I'm afraid we must deal with these peasants first.

00:49:36As dirty as they are, this is Arthur, Anna's brother.

00:49:40And now that I'm rich, he wants to force me to marry his sister.

00:49:44What did you say?

00:49:45Oh, I see.

00:49:49You're that boy that was kidnapped as a child.

00:49:52Well then, be gone.

00:49:54We have nothing to give a shameless beggar.

00:49:58Oh, don't touch me, you disgusting man.

00:50:00Don't you know who my father is?

00:50:02Lord Benjamin, evidently.

00:50:04Don't you know?

00:50:06Even your father watches his tongue around me.

00:50:09Ah!

00:50:10Adela.

00:50:10Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.

00:50:15Have you no manners around the rich?

00:50:17You scum.

00:50:19You better beg for forgiveness if you want to live.

00:50:21And what authority do you have over me?

00:50:24And what authority do you have over me?

00:50:26Every authority, peasant scum.

00:50:29My father is the Baron of Stamford.

00:50:32And now that you're all here, let it be known.

00:50:35I am not going to marry Anna.

00:50:38I am to be a noble, so do not let me catch sight of you all again.

00:50:43Going back on your word, John?

00:50:45That's unbecoming of your future title.

00:50:47I think John has made himself clear enough.

00:50:50Get lost, you blood-sucking leech.

00:50:52Leeching off of him?

00:50:54I would never.

00:50:56His money is as vile as his word.

00:51:00No matter.

00:51:01A man like you doesn't deserve my sister anyway.

00:51:06Men, get him.

00:51:09No!

00:51:11Men, get him.

00:51:13No!

00:51:16Arthur, we will tell Anna.

00:51:19But, please, we cannot anger Mr. Moore.

00:51:24He's going to be a noble now.

00:51:26At least your chambermaid of a mother knows how to act in front of men like me.

00:51:31Drop the matter, and I'll let you leave.

00:51:34Leave her.

00:51:37We'll go.

00:51:39But best you remember,

00:51:41it is the Wellesleys who called off this engagement.

00:51:45Because you, John Moore,

00:51:47are unfit for my sister.

00:51:52John Moore,

00:51:54are unfit for my sister.

00:51:56My word.

00:51:58Unfit.

00:51:59For you.

00:52:01Let's see.

00:52:02Servant.

00:52:03Servant.

00:52:04Beggar.

00:52:05Oh, you're too funny.

00:52:07Take this as a friendly warning, John.

00:52:10Lest you regret your decision later.

00:52:12I've no mind to regret anything regarding you lot.

00:52:15Now that that's settled,

00:52:17if you ever speak to us again,

00:52:20I will have your legs cut off.

00:52:22Come now.

00:52:24We have a banquet to attend.

00:52:33Oh, that's the moors for you.

00:52:36Some coin,

00:52:37and they forget everything that we've ever done for them.

00:52:40Oh, Arthur.

00:52:40I wish we had had a better reception for you.

00:52:44Oh, Mother.

00:52:45Don't say that, please.

00:52:47I've already arranged something for you.

00:52:49I finally found you.

00:52:50That's cause for celebration.

00:52:51You've arranged something?

00:52:53No.

00:52:54No, I...

00:52:55Please.

00:52:56I hope you haven't spent any coin on us, Arthur.

00:52:59What have you arranged?

00:53:00Just something small at the Baron's Manor.

00:53:03Don't worry, Mother.

00:53:04It's been paid for.

00:53:06At the Baron's Manor?

00:53:07Arthur!

00:53:07Sir, haven't you heard the Duke will be there?

00:53:10We can't possibly impose.

00:53:12It's...

00:53:13Like I said, Mother.

00:53:15Don't worry.

00:53:16You'll see.

00:53:18Oh, sh...

00:53:19Lady Adela, this is all very splendid.

00:53:32You must introduce us to the Duke when he arrives.

00:53:35Oh, Mrs. Moore, of course.

00:53:37As the Baron of Stamford, my father is very close to the Duke.

00:53:41It's likely he was the one to recommend John in the first place.

00:53:45Of course, the Duke would love to meet you.

00:53:48I cannot believe it.

00:53:49A noble title.

00:53:51Lady Adela, you are simply full of surprises.

00:53:54You are the best match for John, no doubt about it.

00:53:57How do you mean to ask, Adela?

00:54:00Why would someone like the Duke come to Stamford in the first place?

00:54:03Well, Stamford is his hometown.

00:54:06The king dispatched him here to oversee the building of a new fort.

00:54:10The real reason is his parents.

00:54:13He was separated from them when he was a child.

00:54:15Even this banquet, I hear, is all for them.

00:54:17Must be good, noble people to rear such a fine man like the Duke.

00:54:23We must make a good impression.

00:54:25How did those peasants get in?

00:54:47This banquet, I've arranged it all for you.

00:54:56I'll introduce you to everyone shortly.

00:54:59Arthur, don't just...

00:55:01What do you mean for us?

00:55:03Mother, I'm serious.

00:55:06This is all for you.

00:55:08But how could you have arranged all this?

00:55:11How much money did you spend?

00:55:13Money has nothing to do with it, father.

00:55:15I just want to see you happy.

00:55:17We are happy.

00:55:19Truly happy.

00:55:21We're finally all together again.

00:55:27John, I thought you told them to get lost.

00:55:29Why are they back?

00:55:35John, I thought you told them to get lost.

00:55:37Why are they back?

00:55:38Damn lowlives.

00:55:40They must have tailed us in.

00:55:41I knew those ill-bred dogs would go away that easily.

00:55:46Scoundrels all.

00:55:48Mrs. Moore, rest easy.

00:55:51This banquet is held on the Duke's orders,

00:55:54and father asked me to see that our guests enjoy themselves.

00:55:58I have every authority to throw them out.

00:56:04Come.

00:56:04Who let you in?

00:56:19Who let you in?

00:56:20You must be lost, peasant.

00:56:22This is the Duke's banquet,

00:56:24not the gruel kitchen.

00:56:26I suggest you turn around immediately.

00:56:28And I suggest you shut your mouth.

00:56:30This is my manor.

00:56:33My father is hosting it

00:56:35under direct orders of the Duke.

00:56:37You have no place to speak here.

00:56:41And you?

00:56:42You must be the bitch that John was engaged to.

00:56:46I'll have you know

00:56:47John is going to be a noble.

00:56:50You'll have no way into his home.

00:56:53Unless you'd like to be our maid

00:56:55once we marry.

00:56:57Lowborn as I may be,

00:56:59I'm still more noble than a harlot like you.

00:57:01You wench.

00:57:03I will not let you talk to Lady Adela like this.

00:57:06Apologize right now.

00:57:08I owe her nothing of the sort.

00:57:10She is the one who's courting an engaged man.

00:57:12I told your parents

00:57:15and your disgusting beggar of a brother

00:57:17I called off the engagement.

00:57:20You're not good enough for me.

00:57:22You're wrong.

00:57:24It's you who isn't good enough for me.

00:57:25I would never marry a man

00:57:27with such a fickle heart

00:57:29who would abandon his fiancée

00:57:31just to chase after some harlot's coin.

00:57:36You dirty bitch.

00:57:38That's what you get

00:57:39for talking to my son like that.

00:57:44How dare you raise your hands to my daughter?

00:57:47How dare she insult my son?

00:57:49You're right, Mother.

00:57:51We ought to slap some sense into them.

00:57:53Anna, look at yourself.

00:57:55You're nothing compared to Lady Adela.

00:57:58It's no wonder I chose her.

00:58:00Lady Adela is Lord Benjamin's daughter.

00:58:04What do you have that Lady Adela doesn't?

00:58:08Besides this useless beggar of a brother.

00:58:12Do not insult my brother.

00:58:14He is more noble than any of you.

00:58:15All this dirty work must have done you in.

00:58:27A beggar like him.

00:58:29You lowly peasants.

00:58:31None of you deserve to talk to us.

00:58:34Get out or we'll throw you out with force.

00:58:38Get out or we'll throw you out with force.

00:58:41It is you who ought to be thrown out.

00:58:48Hmm.

00:58:49What a pretty money-sucking leech.

00:58:54I would tell her.

00:58:55I am disgusted by the implication.

00:58:59Despite her features, a maid that cleans chamber parts all day is more fit to marry a stable boy.

00:59:06Say that again and I'll make you pay.

00:59:08Oh no.

00:59:11What are you going to do?

00:59:13Hit me?

00:59:15Well come on then.

00:59:16Have at it.

00:59:20Well.

00:59:22I do say I think this was the first time I heard someone ask for it.

00:59:26But.

00:59:27I think we all heard him clearly enough.

00:59:31You feel it.

00:59:32You actually-

00:59:33You asked for it.

00:59:35I obliged.

00:59:36Lord Benjamin.

00:59:42The Duke has arrived.

00:59:43He's here already.

00:59:45We have to go.

00:59:46You asked for it.

00:59:48I am to be a noble and you will not offend me again.

00:59:52Why should I care?

00:59:53I'm sure Lord Benjamin would understand.

00:59:55Do not speak my father's name.

00:59:57You're dead.

00:59:59My father will see to it when he arrives.

01:00:01On your knees.

01:00:02And I demand you apologize to John now.

01:00:05And your filthy parents too.

01:00:08Down!

01:00:08Who do you think you are barking orders at me?

01:00:10Don't think you're so high and mighty just because you followed us in.

01:00:14You've no right to speak to my son or Lady Adela like this.

01:00:17Don't you know how much I suffered being betrothed to your dirty whore of a sister?

01:00:22I will not let you embarrass me again.

01:00:28We've been gracious enough letting the matter go, yet you shameless rats won't stop bothering us.

01:00:34Away!

01:00:35Off with you!

01:00:36Oh, Mrs. Moore.

01:00:37I have a much better idea.

01:00:40Let's add a few tears to their teary reunion.

01:00:43Guards!

01:00:43Execute him!

01:00:48No!

01:00:49I want to watch as they lose their precious son.

01:00:52Again.

01:00:54Oh, Lady Adela, I think if that's the case, we ought to keep him alive.

01:00:58He's already a useless beggar.

01:01:01We ought to break his legs and keep him that way.

01:01:03Lisa!

01:01:04Lady Moore!

01:01:06Please!

01:01:06I apologize.

01:01:08I'll have Arthur repent.

01:01:09Right away!

01:01:10Yes, please, pardon us.

01:01:12But Arthur, please, I beg of you, apologize.

01:01:15Please.

01:01:17You've enough wit to be scared, but it's too late.

01:01:20It's not my fault you've been grating on my nerves.

01:01:23I've nothing left for pity.

01:01:25Seems like you have quite a loud bark with no bite now.

01:01:29What did you just say to me?

01:01:32Mother.

01:01:34Father.

01:01:35I already told you.

01:01:36This banquet is for you.

01:01:37In honor of us all being together again.

01:01:39You have every right to enjoy yourself.

01:01:42And my sister was correct.

01:01:44You ought to apologize for your poor behavior.

01:01:46And I ought to have you thrown out.

01:01:48Soon, you'll be kneeling before us, begging for the forgiveness.

01:01:52We have every right to withhold.

01:01:53A pity to have a son like him.

01:01:56Imagine spending 10 years to find your son, just to have him turn out like this.

01:02:01The real pity is what will be happening to you soon.

01:02:04I think I'll be quite happy in the future.

01:02:06Oh, yes.

01:02:09Happy.

01:02:10Very happy, I imagine, with your legs mangled, crawling on the ground.

01:02:15Oh, and your poor parents.

01:02:17I'm sure they'll be very joyous over such a sight.

01:02:21Seize them!

01:02:21No.

01:02:22No.

01:02:23Please, no.

01:02:24Presenting the Honorable Lord Benjamin, Baron of Stamford.

01:02:30Oh, you're in for it now.

01:02:33Lord Benjamin is the most powerful man in Stamford.

01:02:36And he's backed by the Duke, whose authority is second only to the King.

01:02:40You poor, poor souls.

01:02:43We'll see what the Duke has to say when he hears about this.

01:02:46I reckon you'll all be beaten to death in the dungeons.

01:02:49Don't waste your breath, madam.

01:02:51A commoner like him can't even fathom the great power the Duke has.

01:02:55Of course, Lady Adela.

01:02:56It'd be an honor for him to lay eyes on the gentlemen

01:02:59before he crushes them like the rats they are.

01:03:03Oh, no.

01:03:04I can't wait.

01:03:06How unfortunate it had to come to this.

01:03:08Yes, how unfortunate it is for you.

01:03:12Lord Benjamin is my father.

01:03:15And once I tell him what you've done to me and my dear John,

01:03:19he'll have you all beheaded.

01:03:21No.

01:03:23Oh, how lucky it is to be so simple-minded.

01:03:27You, half-dead caudges.

01:03:29And you, harlot.

01:03:33Any last words?

01:03:35No teary goodbyes?

01:03:36Or do you wish to die with him?

01:03:40John, please.

01:03:41Arthur was just impulsive.

01:03:43Please put in a good word for him.

01:03:44Get your dirty hands off of me!

01:03:47You scoundrel!

01:03:48I'll do it again!

01:03:53You scoundrel!

01:03:54I'll do it again!

01:03:57John!

01:03:58My darling boy!

01:04:00How dare you!

01:04:01Touch my parents again, and your family will pay.

01:04:05Let it be known, this night was meant to be a joyous one,

01:04:08and I did not wish to taint it with strife and bloodshed.

01:04:11I would have let you go, as awful as your behavior was to me,

01:04:14but you insulted my virtuous sister

01:04:16and raised your hand to my saintly mother and father.

01:04:19Your actions beg for punishment, and I am happy to see to it.

01:04:25Let it be known,

01:04:27I plan to exile the Moore family from the good town of Stamford.

01:04:34Oh, you've gone mad.

01:04:36Truly mad.

01:04:38Lady Adela, have your men restrain him for the safety of your guests,

01:04:41and have him flogged in the dungeon.

01:04:43What's this again about the dungeons?

01:04:52Lord Benjamin, you've finally come.

01:04:54My lord, we've been troubled so by these lowly peasants.

01:04:57Father, it's them.

01:04:58I say we take them to the dungeons.

01:05:05This is the Duke's banquet, Adela.

01:05:08I will not tolerate your antics.

01:05:10Pardon me, Father.

01:05:11It seems I've been lax.

01:05:13For these lowly, dirty servants have snuck in.

01:05:17Lowly, dirty servants?

01:05:22Yes, Father.

01:05:23The Mr. and Mrs. are servants, and so is the daughter.

01:05:27And he's a beggar.

01:05:29A vile, disgusting man.

01:05:31Perhaps we could send them away with some scraps from the kitchens.

01:05:35I dare say it'd be better than anything they've ever tasted.

01:05:37Oh, Father, please allow me to see it.

01:05:39I'll have their bones broken and left out for the dogs

01:05:42for disturbing the Duke's banquet.

01:05:46Silence!

01:05:47But, Lord Benjamin, why?

01:05:50Duke of Mercia, Arthur.

01:05:53Your Grace.

01:05:55At your service.

01:05:56Hailed in his grace.

01:05:58The Duke, Arthur.

01:06:08What?

01:06:10That's him.

01:06:12He's Duke Arthur.

01:06:16That's him.

01:06:18He's Duke Arthur.

01:06:19Lord Benjamin, I was promised a warm welcome.

01:06:25What is all of this?

01:06:26I'll see to it, Your Grace.

01:06:29My boy.

01:06:30What did the parents say?

01:06:32Is it Duke Arthur that he just called you?

01:06:34What?

01:06:35What?

01:06:35Sir, Madam, please.

01:06:41Benjamin.

01:06:42At your service.

01:06:44I don't understand.

01:06:45Are you really?

01:06:46Yes, Father.

01:06:48What?

01:06:50I'm the Duke.

01:06:52My boy?

01:06:53The Duke?

01:06:55That's my son.

01:06:56That's my son.

01:06:58He's a Duke.

01:06:59What did I say?

01:07:00My brother is more noble than anyone.

01:07:04Lord Benjamin, are you certain he's the Duke?

01:07:08Father, you said the Duke was a great man.

01:07:12You must be mistaken.

01:07:15You stupid girl.

01:07:17How could I be wrong?

01:07:19And you, you ought to be ashamed.

01:07:22How dare you do this to his grace, Duke Arthur?

01:07:26No, it can't be.

01:07:28Father, tell me it's a joke.

01:07:30It simply can't be.

01:07:31Get on your knees, girl.

01:07:33And maybe he'll forgive you.

01:07:37No.

01:07:38You said that the Duke was going to give John a title.

01:07:40Why would John call off the engagement to his sister?

01:07:45Maybe this will get through your thick skull.

01:07:48He is the Duke.

01:07:50The one and only.

01:07:52Guards, take her away until she's learned her lesson.

01:07:55Guards, take her away until she's learned her lesson.

01:08:03No!

01:08:04Father, no!

01:08:05He can't be!

01:08:06He can't be the Duke!

01:08:07He's in the game!

01:08:08He's in the game!

01:08:11Your Grace, I must apologize.

01:08:14That's enough.

01:08:15Your family has played your hand for it.

01:08:18Duke Arthur, sir.

01:08:19Why, certainly.

01:08:22My son is still engaged to the Wellesley's daughter.

01:08:25Our connection is nothing to scoff at.

01:08:27Mother, my brother-in-law, a Duke, will be even richer.

01:08:34My brother-in-law, a Duke, will be even richer.

01:08:38We'll be set for life.

01:08:40Oh, married to the sister of the Duke.

01:08:43Oh, goodness.

01:08:44That must be why you want to give me a noble title.

01:08:47So I can marry Anna.

01:08:49Anna.

01:08:50Can you believe it?

01:08:51Your brother.

01:08:52A Duke.

01:08:53What does that have to do with you?

01:08:54It has everything to do with me, darling.

01:08:57You're my fiancé, remember?

01:08:59Don't forget about me just because your brother's a Duke now.

01:09:02You are truly shameless, John.

01:09:05Don't be like that, my dear, darling fiancé.

01:09:07Fiancé?

01:09:08Have you forgotten what you just called me?

01:09:10A dirty whore only fit to wear his table boy.

01:09:15Isn't that right?

01:09:16Oh, Anna, forgive him, would you?

01:09:19A pettiness that doesn't suit a pretty face like yours.

01:09:23Women like us, we ought to understand our husband's temperaments.

01:09:27My sister.

01:09:29Petty.

01:09:30That's rich coming from you.

01:09:32Oh, Duke Arthur.

01:09:34My brother, I must apologize for what I said.

01:09:37I'll apologize to Anna.

01:09:39There is no need.

01:09:40I have no wish to hear anything further from you.

01:09:43The woman has spoken, John.

01:09:45It seems my sister disdains your vile habits.

01:09:49Anna, this is all my fault.

01:09:51We grew up together, didn't we?

01:09:53I loved you.

01:09:55I did.

01:09:56This has all been a big misunderstanding, of course.

01:09:59I'm sure you can forgive me.

01:10:01Please, give me another chance.

01:10:03Yes, dear, just a misunderstanding.

01:10:07Let's put it all behind us now, shall we?

01:10:11Yeah.

01:10:12Forgive you!

01:10:14I don't think I will.

01:10:15It would be a sin to forget what you've done to my mother and father.

01:10:19My brother's title has nothing to do with you.

01:10:22I wish for you to be gone and never come back.

01:10:26Anna.

01:10:26Forgive me.

01:10:31You're better than this.

01:10:34Please, forgive me.

01:10:37You're better than this.

01:10:41Leave my sister alone, scum.

01:10:43Your apology means nothing.

01:10:44Please.

01:10:45Your grace, Duke Arthur.

01:10:47It's all my fault.

01:10:49I've wronged you.

01:10:50I admit it.

01:10:51I beg your pardon.

01:10:53Mr. Westerly.

01:10:54Madam.

01:10:56Please ask Arthur to show us mercy.

01:10:59I was betrothed to Anna.

01:11:01I've shown her much kindness.

01:11:03Mother.

01:11:04Please ask him to forgive me.

01:11:06I cannot live without Anna.

01:11:09Jane, please.

01:11:11I even got you the job at the Baron's Manor.

01:11:13Are you going to be so cruel as to forget everything I've done for you?

01:11:17That John's done for you?

01:11:19A bit of compassion for an old friend?

01:11:23Yes.

01:11:24Mr. Westerly, please.

01:11:25I'll do anything for her.

01:11:27I'll give her whatever she wants.

01:11:29If you just please forgive my one transgression.

01:11:33How dare you ask for compassion?

01:11:39How dare you ask for compassion?

01:11:42Have you shown any compassion to my father?

01:11:44To my mother?

01:11:45Those ten long years I was gone.

01:11:48Did you help them at all?

01:11:50Did you give them any aid?

01:11:52You speak of them as an old friend.

01:11:54As if they have ever forsaken you.

01:11:56But you.

01:11:57Had I not been announced as the Duke,

01:11:59you would have kicked them to the ground and spit on their bodies.

01:12:03You called off my sister's engagement for the first noble lady you saw.

01:12:07You do not deserve my mercy.

01:12:09Duke.

01:12:10Arthur.

01:12:11I...

01:12:12Silence!

01:12:13I've seen you at your worst.

01:12:15I've seen how you treated me.

01:12:17My father.

01:12:18My mother.

01:12:19Anna.

01:12:20You are a shameless, filthy villain.

01:12:24Be gone.

01:12:27Lord Benjamin.

01:12:28Yes, sir.

01:12:29Have the Moors removed from the manor.

01:12:31And forbid anyone from doing business with them in the town of Stamford.

01:12:44Yes, sir.

01:12:50Much better.

01:12:52Father.

01:12:53Mother.

01:12:56Anna.

01:12:56Let us enjoy this banquet in peace.

01:13:00Arthur.

01:13:02This banquet is lovely.

01:13:06But nothing is better than us being reunited as a family.

01:13:11And together we'll be forever.

01:13:14Forever.
