00:00:00May God bless us and keep us together as one family.
00:00:03My son Arthur is taken by the baron to the war. We must find him.
00:00:08Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:00:11I've returned to find my family.
00:00:12The Duke is coming.
00:00:13This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:00:17Your son is not coming back.
00:00:20No!
00:00:21Because he's dead.
00:00:22It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:00:25I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:00:27He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:00:28Your land has been seen.
00:00:30What?
00:00:31No, this is our family home.
00:00:32Sign it, now.
00:00:33No.
00:00:35Stop it.
00:00:37Your son was taken, you say?
00:00:39Could this be me?
00:00:40My memories are faint, cladded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:00:43Say goodbye to your son.
00:00:45That woman.
00:00:46Possibly the Duke is my Arthur.
00:00:54Once upon a time, the kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:00:58Every man must stand and fight.
00:01:02No.
00:01:02No.
00:01:03No.
00:01:03No.
00:01:04No.
00:01:04Please.
00:01:05Please.
00:01:06I don't want to go to war.
00:01:08Spare me!
00:01:08I'm scared, Arthur.
00:01:13Will they take you and Papa away, too?
00:01:16No.
00:01:17They won't.
00:01:18Okay?
00:01:19I got something for both of you.
00:01:22I had these blessed by the church today.
00:01:25This one is for you, Arthur.
00:01:28And 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.
00:01:42I love you.
00:01:45Mama?
00:01:46Yes?
00:01:46My belly hurts.
00:01:48I think I need to go potty.
00:01:50I see.
00:01:52Yes, then?
00:01:52Wait, Mama.
00:01:54It's Papa's birthday today.
00:01:56I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef.
00:02:01Just a little bit.
00:02:02I'm sorry, sweetie.
00:02:09We can't afford beef.
00:02:11Maybe we could have a chicken.
00:02:14Your favorite chicken pie.
00:02:15Huzzah!
00:02:16Thank you, Mom.
00:02:17I love you.
00:02:19I love you.
00:02:24Bye!
00:02:32Every man must stand and fight.
00:02:43Take him.
00:02:44Stop.
00:02:45No, I'm only 13.
00:02:47Let me go.
00:02:48Mama!
00:02:53Arthur.
00:02:55You should be here by now.
00:02:58Where is he?
00:03:01Arthur.
00:03:02Mom!
00:03:12Mom!
00:03:25Wait.
00:03:27I...
00:03:28Oh, God.
00:03:30Mom.
00:03:30Have you seen my son?
00:03:33Have you seen Arthur?
00:03:34The baron's men took him.
00:03:36What?
00:03:37They're marching him to the border.
00:03:38They're sending him to war.
00:03:39No.
00:03:40No.
00:03:42No.
00:03:52Jane!
00:03:54You're hurt!
00:03:55Girl, they took him.
00:03:58We have to get him.
00:03:59He's only 13.
00:04:00He wants to arrive on the battlefield.
00:04:03Let's go.
00:04:05You know?
00:04:05Have you seen a boy?
00:04:06Have you seen Arthur?
00:04:07Have you seen our son?
00:04:07Right here with the soldier.
00:04:10Hey, are you soldiers with the baron?
00:04:12Have you seen a boy?
00:04:13A strong lad.
00:04:14Brown hair.
00:04:15About this tall.
00:04:16The boy we took from the market, is it?
00:04:18Yes.
00:04:18Yes.
00:04:18Yes, that's him.
00:04:20Where is he?
00:04:21Your boy is either dead or going to be soon.
00:04:23He can't be.
00:04:24You're lying.
00:04:24Away with you, woman.
00:04:25Give me back my son.
00:04:26The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old.
00:04:30Arthur's 13.
00:04:32Please!
00:04:34If you didn't want him gone, you should have kept him at home.
00:04:39You have no one to blame but yourself.
00:04:40It's all my fault.
00:04:43I killed him.
00:04:44I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself.
00:04:47It's...
00:04:47Shut up, wench!
00:04:48Or I'll make you join him real soon!
00:04:52Comet, now!
00:04:53Foolish as they are, we can't just kill as we wish!
00:04:58Comet boy from filth like you!
00:05:00He was doomed from the moment he met us!
00:05:01He's right.
00:05:08It's all my fault.
00:05:09I didn't have let him alone.
00:05:11You mustn't do this to yourself.
00:05:13We will bring our boy home.
00:05:15But, Arthur...
00:05:18Where are you?
00:05:20What do you think?
00:05:48I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:05:55Your Majesty, nothing escapes you.
00:05:58Nothing does escape me, which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford.
00:06:03You'll oversee the building of a new fort to strengthen our borders.
00:06:07The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.
00:06:11But your Majesty, my duty as a duke is to protect...
00:06:13Go, go.
00:06:16Go, my boy.
00:06:18You've fought enough battles for me and did a great service to the kingdom of Mercia.
00:06:24This is why I gave you the title of duke.
00:06:29Go back to Stamford.
00:06:31Find your family.
00:06:32They would be so proud to see the man you've become.
00:06:37And while you're at it, build me that castle.
00:06:39I won't let you down, sir.
00:06:43I miss you.
00:06:53Robert, my sweet nephew, here.
00:06:55All my wages.
00:06:56I'm depending on you.
00:07:00You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin, I beg of you.
00:07:04Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive.
00:07:09I'll look into it, but not today.
00:07:12The duke is coming to Stamford.
00:07:14Everything has to be perfect.
00:07:16The duke is coming.
00:07:18Robert, maybe you can ask the duke to help me find my son.
00:07:22I've heard that the duke is a great knight in battle, so perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with his necklace.
00:07:27Maybe he knows my Arthur.
00:07:29Have you lost your wits?
00:07:32Ask the duke for help.
00:07:33Who do you think you are?
00:07:35Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the duke for such trifles.
00:07:39Robert, please just have him take a look.
00:07:51It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:07:54Don't blame other people for your own negligence.
00:07:57It is my fault.
00:07:57I should have never let him out of my sight.
00:07:59I regret it every single day.
00:08:01But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages, you would help me find my son.
00:08:07I told you, not today.
00:08:10The duke could be here any second.
00:08:13Get lost before he sees your ugly face.
00:08:18The duke is here.
00:08:20Go.
00:08:20Get.
00:08:21That's the duke.
00:08:31He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.
00:08:34The king treats him like a son.
00:08:37Go.
00:08:42It's true.
00:08:42Get worse at theciみ.
00:08:46Go to today.
00:08:54Go to today.
00:08:54And the?
00:08:55Presenting as Grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:09:18Welcome, Your Grace.
00:09:20Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:09:23We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?
00:09:26Your Grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.
00:09:29I beg for your forgiveness.
00:09:31It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.
00:09:34You are too kind, Your Grace.
00:09:35I've returned to find my family.
00:09:37Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:09:40I shall have them brought here at once.
00:09:42My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:09:46But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.
00:09:53May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:10:05Could this be me?
00:10:08Find who this belongs to.
00:10:09I will see to this personally.
00:10:14Mom, where are you?
00:10:17The Duke of Mercia has come to the baron's manor.
00:10:22The king must hold him in high regard.
00:10:25They say he's looking for his family.
00:10:27Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:10:30Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family, then there's a chance.
00:10:36Then possibly the Duke is my author.
00:10:38Don't be stupid.
00:10:43This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:10:47How could a man like that be your son?
00:10:49Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:10:52Stop being delusional.
00:10:55No.
00:10:57I must see the Duke.
00:10:59Have you lost your mind?
00:11:01I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:11:29Did someone call my name just now?
00:11:30Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:11:34No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.
00:11:40What were you thinking?
00:11:42Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:11:45Robert just became butler.
00:11:47I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:11:50I swear, that was my son.
00:11:52That was Arthur.
00:11:53You have truly gone mad.
00:11:55That was the Duke.
00:11:56The second most important man in the entire kingdom.
00:12:00How could a man of such standing be your son?
00:12:04He looked just like him.
00:12:06I swear that...
00:12:08Ow!
00:12:09Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:12:12Calling the Duke your son?
00:12:14What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:12:17Please, just let me speak to him.
00:12:20Let me show him this.
00:12:21Robert!
00:12:35Robert!
00:12:35Don't!
00:12:36Not while the Duke is here.
00:12:38Robert!
00:12:40What are you doing to my mother?
00:12:42Anna!
00:12:44Give me that back.
00:12:45I needed to find Arthur.
00:12:46You're a worthless piece of junk.
00:12:48Robert, we're a family.
00:12:50We're supposed to help each other.
00:12:52What do you have fun?
00:12:54Family?
00:12:55It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:12:58My son has risen up through the ranks,
00:13:01while yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:13:04It's pathetic, really.
00:13:07I don't know what I...
00:13:07I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur,
00:13:11and you...
00:13:12You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:13:16You never even thought to look for him.
00:13:18You liar!
00:13:20You cheat!
00:13:21Give me back my coin!
00:13:23Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:13:26And this?
00:13:27Say goodbye to your son.
00:13:32No!
00:13:36Mother, no!
00:13:37Come, Mother.
00:13:46Let's go.
00:13:49Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:13:51We'll never be able to find Arthur.
00:13:53Not with this.
00:13:53It's all right, Mother.
00:13:55Have you forgotten?
00:13:56I carry one, too.
00:13:58Oh, Anna.
00:13:59Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,
00:14:03I'll see what I can do.
00:14:04Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:14:21Your Grace, my Lord.
00:14:23Forgive me, Your Grace.
00:14:44Useless girl!
00:14:45Your Grace, are you all right?
00:14:48I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:14:50No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:14:52Your kindness humbled us all.
00:14:56Well, don't just sit there.
00:14:58Clean yourself up!
00:14:58Why does she seem so familiar with you?
00:15:04It seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:15:08How could Robert do this to you?
00:15:14He beat you.
00:15:16You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:15:18Oh, Carl.
00:15:20You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:15:23It's only going to get worse now that Robert is butler to the baron.
00:15:29Mother?
00:15:30Father?
00:15:30This place is so familiar to me.
00:15:35And it's strategic.
00:15:38I'll build a new fort here.
00:15:40See to it that all the families along this road are asked to leave.
00:15:43And compensate them well.
00:15:44I will start the process right away.
00:15:52Father?
00:15:53Yeah?
00:15:54What did the Duke say?
00:15:55Did he...
00:15:57Mother?
00:15:58Mother?
00:15:59What?
00:16:00I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:16:03No.
00:16:05He does...
00:16:05He does resemble him, yes, but...
00:16:08He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:16:10No.
00:16:12I'm so sorry.
00:16:14I thought I was him.
00:16:16I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.
00:16:19I know at least you'll sleep easier, knowing this is by your side.
00:16:25Oh.
00:16:25Oh, your grace.
00:16:33I dare say you look as handsome as ever.
00:16:36These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:16:43Leave me.
00:16:44I wish to explore the city by myself.
00:16:46See if anything can jog my memory.
00:16:48Yes, your grace.
00:16:49Oh, it must be Anna.
00:16:58She must have forgot something.
00:17:00Anna?
00:17:04Yeah.
00:17:04What are you all doing here?
00:17:11Especially after what you did to my wife.
00:17:12Long time no see, brother.
00:17:14Still living in this hovel, huh?
00:17:16Would you like some bread?
00:17:18We were just about to sit down for lunch, so I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:17:22You call this food?
00:17:24The baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.
00:17:31But fortune favors the undeserving.
00:17:35Now you'll be able to buy some real food.
00:17:38What do you mean, Laura?
00:17:39Tell them, Robert.
00:17:44Ah!
00:17:47It really is a shack.
00:17:50But luckily it'll be gone soon.
00:17:52Your land has been seized.
00:17:54This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.
00:17:57No.
00:17:57To bolster our defenses.
00:17:59The order came directly from the Duke himself.
00:18:02No.
00:18:02But you will be well compensated for the trouble.
00:18:06What?
00:18:07Just sign here and you'll receive 20 gold pieces.
00:18:12As your brother, I should be entitled to half.
00:18:15But as you have no son, and I have a son, I ought to take two thirds.
00:18:19What?
00:18:19No, this is our family home.
00:18:21What?
00:18:22No.
00:18:23If Arthur returns, how will he find his way home?
00:18:25She's right.
00:18:26We won't give up our land.
00:18:27Not for 20 gold coins.
00:18:28Not for nothing.
00:18:29Then you are dafter than I thought.
00:18:31Let me remind you, your son is not coming back because he's dead.
00:18:37No.
00:18:38No, no, no.
00:18:39You hold your tongue.
00:18:40Arthur will return.
00:18:41And we will remain here until he does.
00:18:43We won't give up hope.
00:18:44Not for any penny coin.
00:18:45You don't get a say.
00:18:47The order comes from above.
00:18:48But not for this insolence.
00:18:49Leave my house at once.
00:18:51Leave my house.
00:18:51Carl.
00:18:52We are family.
00:19:00We are supposed to support each other.
00:19:02And if you can't do that, then leave.
00:19:04Then you've chosen death.
00:19:05So be it.
00:19:09This place really does feel so familiar.
00:19:12I'll tell you this one last time.
00:19:24Sign the damn contract or I'll beat you to death.
00:19:26You are his brother.
00:19:27How can you do this to him?
00:19:29No man as useless as him deserves to be my brother.
00:19:31Sign it now.
00:19:36No.
00:19:37No.
00:19:41No.
00:19:42No.
00:19:42No.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:44No.
00:19:44Stop it!
00:20:00Stop it! That's an order.
00:20:04What's a peasant like you doing here?
00:20:06Cross me, and I'll beat you up too.
00:20:08You know who my son works for? The Baron.
00:20:11We're here to seize this land off his orders.
00:20:12So you better stay out of our affairs.
00:20:14So you're the Baron's henchman.
00:20:16I told them to see that every family is compensated fairly.
00:20:20And this is how you choose to do it?
00:20:28Good folks, you have my word.
00:20:30I will make this matter right.
00:20:32Lord Benjamin requests your land to build a new fort.
00:20:34But we will provide whatever is necessary for you.
00:20:37Do you know the Baron?
00:20:39Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?
00:20:41All we ask is that we remain here.
00:20:43We cannot leave our home, please.
00:20:44Rest assured, you'll be well compensated if you choose to depart.
00:20:49No, we don't want coin!
00:20:51This is my son's home.
00:20:53If it's torn down, he will never find his way home.
00:20:56Your son was taken, you say?
00:20:57Yes.
00:20:58He was only 13 years old.
00:21:00Taken far too young, conscripted by the Baron's soldiers.
00:21:03If we leave, he'll never find his way back.
00:21:07Please.
00:21:09Please, I beg of you.
00:21:14This pin?
00:21:15Yes.
00:21:16It was a token.
00:21:17A promise that my children and I would always be family together.
00:21:20This one is for you, Arthur.
00:21:29What?
00:21:38Mother.
00:21:39Mother.
00:21:41Arthur.
00:21:44Oh, is it you?
00:21:46It's me, Mom.
00:21:47Mom.
00:21:48I've come home.
00:21:49My boy.
00:21:50Ten long years.
00:21:52We searched for you.
00:21:53And finally, you come back to us.
00:21:56I'm sorry.
00:21:59I've been a bad son.
00:22:00But I promise, I will give you the life you deserve from here on out.
00:22:05Please, forgive me.
00:22:13Can we stop with the theatrics?
00:22:15Ten years have passed, and Cousin Arthur returns as a peasant.
00:22:19I'd cry too if this were my son.
00:22:21Laura and George, do you see?
00:22:22Arthur has come home.
00:22:24What's there to cheer for?
00:22:25A beggar for a son?
00:22:27Or a thief, more likely.
00:22:29Look at him, wandering around, starving and desperate.
00:22:34I don't care what you say, but my son has come home, and he is everything to me.
00:22:39Let's go inside, and I will make your favorite roast.
00:22:42And George and Laura, I would prefer if you left.
00:22:46We'd like to celebrate alone as a family.
00:22:48We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool.
00:22:52Now, Robert, surely you understand.
00:22:56You're family.
00:22:57We'd like to celebrate.
00:22:58This low life doesn't deserve anything.
00:23:01I'm done arguing with you with this pigsty.
00:23:07Don't you point your finger at me.
00:23:09I could do much worse.
00:23:10Or do you want me to get my fiancée so you can beg for her forgiveness instead?
00:23:15Remember, I'm engaged to the prestigious Lady Edith.
00:23:18If she finds out about this, you'll all get a good beating.
00:23:22Go away!
00:23:25This is a joyous day, and I do not wish to spend a squabbling with you, Ilk.
00:23:35Kneel before us, apologize, and be gone.
00:23:39You son of a whore.
00:23:44I'm the Baron's butler.
00:23:46The highest on his staff.
00:23:48You think I kneel to a common maid?
00:23:51You better show your respect.
00:23:54Now will you go?
00:23:59You scum!
00:24:00I'll have you know just how much I am worth.
00:24:03Inform Lady Edith.
00:24:04Ask her to come, won't you?
00:24:05Yes, Mr. Wellesley.
00:24:07Well, well, well.
00:24:08You fools have chosen not to take the gold.
00:24:10But it was the Baron's orders.
00:24:13Your hovel must come down.
00:24:15Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?
00:24:17That's Baron Stamford to you.
00:24:19On the contrary.
00:24:20I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.
00:24:24Are you mad?
00:24:25Who do you think you are?
00:24:27The Duke pulling rank like you're anything special.
00:24:31I dare say I'm special enough that even Lord Benjamin would kneel before me.
00:24:35What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:24:40Lord Benjamin, sir.
00:24:42The Duke has dismissed his guards and gone on a stroll.
00:24:45Where to?
00:24:46Around where the families are being asked to relocate, sir.
00:24:48What?
00:24:49Well, I hope he doesn't run into the Wellesleys.
00:24:52Guards, come with me.
00:24:53What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:25:02Did I just hear someone disrespecting my cousin, the Baron of Stamford?
00:25:07I tried to pay these lowlifes with gold, but they refused to leave their pigsty, and their son even hit me.
00:25:18You scumbag.
00:25:19How dare you lay your dirty hands on my fiancé?
00:25:22Do you know who I am?
00:25:24Why would I care who you are?
00:25:26He hit my parents, so I hit him back.
00:25:29Sounds fair to me.
00:25:29You are in the town of Stamford, my cousin's jurisdiction, and Robert is his head butler.
00:25:35You'll pay for what you've done.
00:25:38Bring him to the dungeons.
00:25:39No.
00:25:40I'll teach him a lesson.
00:25:41No, no, no, no, please don't.
00:25:42No, please don't.
00:25:45Lord Benjamin's cousin.
00:25:46Is this how he taught you to behave?
00:25:48Oh.
00:25:50I didn't expect a lowly peasant like you to know who my cousin is.
00:25:53Don't tell me he's spoken to you before.
00:25:55Of course.
00:25:56In fact, why don't you ask him who I am?
00:25:59That's enough.
00:26:00Guards seize him.
00:26:01No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:26:03Don't take him.
00:26:04Please, he just came back.
00:26:05Please don't.
00:26:07Let go of me.
00:26:08This is your last chance.
00:26:10Seize me, and you'll have to face the consequences of your crime.
00:26:13As if I'd fear anything from a runt like you.
00:26:15I could kill you right now if I wanted to.
00:26:18Kill me?
00:26:19Is that right?
00:26:20Fine.
00:26:21I'll go with you.
00:26:22But don't say I didn't warn you.
00:26:23Watch your tongue.
00:26:25But don't worry.
00:26:26Soon, you'll be too busy screaming in my dungeon to talk back.
00:26:30Please, please don't hurt him.
00:26:32No, Arthur.
00:26:32Father.
00:26:33Mother.
00:26:34Don't worry.
00:26:34I'll be back very soon.
00:26:36You think you're coming back?
00:26:37Take him away.
00:26:39Oh, no.
00:26:40Take your hands out of my son!
00:26:43Well, well.
00:26:44I didn't expect that runt to hit me.
00:26:46Just wait.
00:26:47The two of you will join him soon.
00:26:48Let's go, Father.
00:26:50Serves you right, brother.
00:26:54Ha ha ha!
00:26:56Oh, no!
00:27:01What happened here?
00:27:03Lord Benjamin, it was all your butler's doing.
00:27:06And your cousin, Lady Edith.
00:27:08They even took my son to the dungeon!
00:27:10Your son?
00:27:13Tall and with dark hair?
00:27:15We need to go!
00:27:21Now!
00:27:24God, Carl, what are we going to do?
00:27:25Because Arthur's gone.
00:27:27Anna.
00:27:28Anna's engaged to John Moore.
00:27:29The Moors can help.
00:27:30They're engaged, yes, but that was years ago.
00:27:32John Moore's a rich man now.
00:27:33He surely...
00:27:34We have to try, Carl, please.
00:27:36You're right.
00:27:37We have to just...
00:27:38You're right.
00:27:38We have to try.
00:27:38We have to find our son.
00:27:39What happened to that fire?
00:27:45That rage?
00:27:46Scared of the consequences now, runt?
00:27:49Consequences?
00:27:50For giving you what you deserve?
00:27:56Wash your mouth.
00:27:59Your family is done for, and you're still talking back.
00:28:04No, my lady.
00:28:05It's your family that's done for.
00:28:07I've made up my mind.
00:28:08I will not spare you.
00:28:11Me needing sparing from you?
00:28:14You've gone mad.
00:28:18It seems like you've gotten it in your head that you could do something to us.
00:28:23Let me remind you of your place.
00:28:35You insolent brat!
00:28:38What are you doing?
00:28:41Reminding you of your place.
00:28:45Stop it or I'll have you killed!
00:28:47You!
00:28:48Have me killed.
00:28:50You've got the wrong man.
00:28:51Consider it your warning, cousin.
00:29:05The gall of you!
00:29:08Threatening me and then calling yourself my cousin!
00:29:10I won't let you off easy!
00:29:12Oh!
00:29:13You want another go?
00:29:14Still trying to act tough!
00:29:16It seems like we'll need to teach you a lesson.
00:29:18Guards!
00:29:20Flog him!
00:29:22Hold it!
00:29:25You're not flogging anyone.
00:29:27Hold it!
00:29:31Hold it!
00:29:37Oh, cousin, you don't understand.
00:29:39This lowly scum had disregarded your orders and impeded the Duke's relocation efforts and...
00:29:44And he even tried to punch me!
00:29:46Cousin Benjamin, you must see to it that he is punished.
00:29:48Stopped oinking once the Baron showed up, hmm?
00:29:52Your side of the Wellesley family is going to be dinner.
00:29:55Sir, this lowly villain is unfortunately my cousin.
00:29:59Just like his parents, they've no regard for your authority.
00:30:02That's right, Benjamin.
00:30:04What happened again?
00:30:05We had gone to the less fortunate Wellesley's to evit them, but he tried to stop us.
00:30:09So Edith had him brought here to teach him a lesson, but it looks like he hasn't learned anything.
00:30:14Oh, oh, sir, you don't know the half of it.
00:30:17He hit us and ordered us to kneel to him.
00:30:20He even said that you were lowlier than he.
00:30:23You must punish him accordingly.
00:30:25As I was saying, the consequences of your actions.
00:30:31You fool.
00:30:32There will be consequences, all right.
00:30:34For you!
00:30:35What for, sir?
00:30:38Have I done something wrong, sir?
00:30:40I don't...
00:30:40Cousin, you misunderstand.
00:30:44There is no misunderstanding.
00:30:47You've lost your mind.
00:30:48Do you know who this man is?
00:30:53Do you know who this man is?
00:30:55He's nothing but a beggar, the son of peasants.
00:31:00Get out of my sight, you pathetic woman.
00:31:06Duke of Mercia, your grace.
00:31:09Pardon my tardiness.
00:31:12Duke?
00:31:13What do you mean, Duke?
00:31:16Sir, you must be mistaken.
00:31:18Rightly so.
00:31:19He's a peasant, a beggar.
00:31:21How can he be the Duke?
00:31:24Don't question me.
00:31:26No.
00:31:27No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:31:28This is possible.
00:31:30How can you say you're the Duke?
00:31:33Shut it, Wellesley.
00:31:35You have no right to speak.
00:31:37That lowlife's the Duke?
00:31:39Carl's son is the Duke?
00:31:40Oh, no, no, no.
00:31:42George, what have we done?
00:31:51Lord Venture, it seems that you've neglected your duties as baron.
00:31:55Your people have shown me nothing but disdain.
00:31:59They take from the poor, torture your innocent, pillage and kill.
00:32:03Have you no order in Stanford?
00:32:06I'll have them punished for their wrongdoings.
00:32:08Their wrongdoings?
00:32:09I imagine then, it was you who have allowed them to do this.
00:32:14And it is you who must be punished.
00:32:16Mercy, Your Grace.
00:32:18I'll have them flogged, exiled, punished to the extent of the law.
00:32:23Please, Your Grace, spare us.
00:32:26Cousin.
00:32:26It's my fault.
00:32:30See, Your Grace, I've been a fool.
00:32:34Punish me, flog me as you will.
00:32:36Let me live.
00:32:38We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.
00:32:41I don't want to die.
00:32:44Young Arthur, my son had just become a butler.
00:32:47He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.
00:32:50Please, we adore him so.
00:32:52You must kill him or exile him.
00:32:56Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's own brother.
00:33:01Oh, you're too cruel, Arthur.
00:33:04How can you do this to another, Wellesley?
00:33:09Cruel?
00:33:10Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?
00:33:13Threatening to leave them homeless and laughing in their face when they begged you?
00:33:17Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?
00:33:20Your own brother?
00:33:22And Cousin Robert, what happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?
00:33:27Did you pity your poor cousin dead?
00:33:29I've seen you for what you are.
00:33:32Shameless and wretched scum.
00:33:35You are unfit to live.
00:33:38Have them dealt with and think about what you've done.
00:33:41You're meant to be noble, not only in your actions, but in your name.
00:33:45See that your people behave, or I'll have your title removed.
00:33:49I will see to them personally.
00:33:50Oh, please.
00:33:53Oh, sir.
00:33:54Please.
00:33:55Robert deceived me.
00:33:57It's all his fault.
00:33:58Please, Duke Arthur.
00:33:59Spare me.
00:34:01I'll do anything for you.
00:34:03Egypt.
00:34:04What are you doing?
00:34:05You villain?
00:34:08If it weren't for you, I never would have gotten involved with this mess.
00:34:11I'm calling on her engagement.
00:34:12From this moment onward, I'll have nothing to do with you.
00:34:16I beg of you, O'Kraiden, the Honorable Duke.
00:34:18Forgive me.
00:34:20Don't you want to see what I have to offer?
00:34:23Save it, Shroth.
00:34:25Lord Benjamin.
00:34:25Make sure these vermin never cross my path again.
00:34:31They make me sick.
00:34:36Guys, lock them up.
00:34:38Cousin, please.
00:34:39Won't you speak to him?
00:34:41Just let me go.
00:34:42I won't ever do it again.
00:34:45No.
00:34:46No.
00:34:47Cousin.
00:34:48Please.
00:34:48Please.
00:34:49Please.
00:34:50No.
00:34:50In good news, Benjamin, I found my parents.
00:34:59That is wonderful, Your Grace.
00:35:01What a blessed day it is.
00:35:03I wish to host a banquet tonight.
00:35:04Introduce my parents to upper society.
00:35:08Life has been cruel to them, and I wish for them to live happily.
00:35:12Oh, and my sister, too, Anna.
00:35:15I want to do something special for her, as well.
00:35:17Did you just say Anna?
00:35:18Anna, and then the maid, Anna.
00:35:21Right.
00:35:22Anna.
00:35:22She works her, doesn't she?
00:35:25Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:35:30Mr. Wellesley, Lord Benjamin says Anna is to attend to the Duke personally for the next few days.
00:35:40Did you just say Anna?
00:35:42And then the maid, Anna.
00:35:44Right.
00:35:44Anna.
00:35:45She works her, doesn't she?
00:35:47Bring me to her.
00:35:47No, Your Grace, I...
00:35:49What?
00:35:50I thought...
00:35:51I thought that you fancied her, so I...
00:35:53What have you done?
00:35:54Bring me to her right now.
00:35:55You have fine features for a scullery maid.
00:36:10I can see why he likes you.
00:36:13Mr. Crowley, did you need something?
00:36:16Yes, pet.
00:36:17You have been chosen.
00:36:19Take off your clothes.
00:36:24What are you going to do to me?
00:36:26Oh, don't worry.
00:36:27I have no interest in you.
00:36:29I wouldn't dare.
00:36:32Put this on.
00:36:39Perfect.
00:36:40I can see why he chose you in particular.
00:36:43Mr. Crowley, what's all this about?
00:36:45The Baron has ordered you to meet another client.
00:36:49A big man.
00:36:50You are to be his mistress.
00:36:52To satisfy his physical needs, of course.
00:36:55An honor for a common whore like you.
00:36:58No, I refuse.
00:37:00You don't have a choice.
00:37:03Baron's orders.
00:37:07Do you even know who you are serving?
00:37:09It is the Duke.
00:37:10The one you poured tea on.
00:37:12What?
00:37:12The Duke?
00:37:13Aw, dumb already, are you?
00:37:15Still think you can say no, whore?
00:37:17Please, I don't want to.
00:37:22It's a good opportunity, dammit.
00:37:25Mr. Crowley, I'm betrothed.
00:37:29I don't want to be another man's mistress.
00:37:32Hadn't your father just fallen ill?
00:37:34Weren't you complaining about money?
00:37:35Don't you even want to help your family, you ingrate?
00:37:49Serve the Duke, and the money's yours.
00:37:52You'll have no short supply of expensive little trinkets.
00:37:55I would never sell my body, not for a few coppers, not for anything.
00:38:09I am a woman of honor.
00:38:11Honor is for people who deserve it, not a lowly whore like you.
00:38:15You don't get to say no!
00:38:27Oh my God, please!
00:38:29Hands off!
00:38:31You don't get to say no!
00:38:33Oh my God, please!
00:38:36Hands off of her!
00:38:39He didn't hurt you, did he?
00:38:40Are you the Duke, sir?
00:38:42Sir, what is the meaning of this?
00:38:45You imbecile!
00:38:47But sir, you said...
00:38:49How do you have shame, acting like this in my manner?
00:38:54Sir, this bitch refused your orders.
00:38:57It is my right as house steward to teach her a lesson.
00:39:04Apologize to her.
00:39:04Or I'll have you fired.
00:39:07Apologize, sir, but she's a lowly scullery maid.
00:39:10She was out of line.
00:39:14A lowly maid?
00:39:16Mark my words, she's Duke Arthur's sister.
00:39:22She's his sister?
00:39:24The lowly maid is his sister?
00:39:27Arthur, are you really my brother?
00:39:30My Arthur?
00:39:32Yes, Anna.
00:39:33I've come back to protect you and mother and father.
00:39:37Arthur, where have you been all these years?
00:39:40You missed you terribly.
00:39:42There, there.
00:39:44Let me deal with this man first.
00:39:46Once again, Lord Benjamin.
00:39:53Your men have shown their true colors.
00:39:55Disgusting and violent.
00:39:57Sir, I failed to discipline them.
00:40:01But yes, sir.
00:40:03Duke, I was wrong.
00:40:05I would have never treated her like that had I known that she was your sister.
00:40:11Yet you see no issue in treating her this way if she wasn't.
00:40:15Isn't that so?
00:40:17Lowly servants?
00:40:18They're worthless in your eyes, aren't they?
00:40:20Well, Mr. Stewart, you're worthless to me.
00:40:23No, it was Benjamin, the Baron.
00:40:25He asked me to.
00:40:26No, I didn't.
00:40:28God, throw him into the dungeon.
00:40:30No, no, please.
00:40:31No, sir.
00:40:33No, no.
00:40:34No.
00:40:37Anna, tell me truly.
00:40:39Are you all right?
00:40:41Yes, I am now.
00:40:43Because you're back.
00:40:44And I can't believe it.
00:40:45You're the Duke.
00:40:47Oh, well, let's go see Mother and Father.
00:40:49They'll be overjoyed.
00:40:50I just know it.
00:40:50Anna, I've already met them.
00:40:53Oh, then you must know the years have been quite hard on them.
00:40:57But it's all worth it.
00:40:59Because you're back.
00:41:00Anna, stay here.
00:41:02I'll bring them here, okay?
00:41:05Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently of the Moors.
00:41:09John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.
00:41:13Yes, John and I are engaged, but...
00:41:16He's your fiancé, Anna.
00:41:18So I'll love him like a brother.
00:41:20Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.
00:41:22I want to show our parents high society.
00:41:25And invite John Moore.
00:41:27I'll speak to the king.
00:41:28See if he can grant him a noble title.
00:41:30As you wish, Duke Arthur.
00:41:41Is that the Moors' home?
00:41:42Fine place for a merchant family, but...
00:41:45They'll be able to afford better very soon.
00:41:50Well, we're here.
00:41:51The home of our supposed son-in-law.
00:41:53You tartaring fool.
00:42:03Why have you come back?
00:42:08John, this is your fiancé's father.
00:42:11You will call me Mr. Moore.
00:42:15And you are nothing to me.
00:42:16John.
00:42:17That's Mr. Moore.
00:42:19John.
00:42:20I'm sorry.
00:42:22Mr. Moore.
00:42:22Please, let's talk.
00:42:24And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancé?
00:42:28You've always been poor, but now you're liars, too.
00:42:31Mr. Moore, you know as well as I do.
00:42:33You've been betrothed to Anna for years.
00:42:36Your father and I, we had an arrangement.
00:42:37That may be so.
00:42:39But circumstances have changed.
00:42:41Do you think my father would want me marrying someone that comes from you filthy swine?
00:42:46That's not why we're here today.
00:42:49We're here because...
00:42:50Oh, I know.
00:42:51Money, isn't that right?
00:42:55Alms for the poor.
00:42:57Now away with you.
00:42:59Mr. Moore, we didn't come here today for money.
00:43:02That's enough!
00:43:03Your breath reeks.
00:43:06Beat some sense into the old card and take him out of here.
00:43:09I'd like to see you try.
00:43:13I'd like to see you try.
00:43:18Arthur, my boy.
00:43:20They set you free.
00:43:22Rightfully so, father.
00:43:23Oh, Arthur.
00:43:24It's so good to see you alive and well.
00:43:27Father.
00:43:28Mother.
00:43:29Robert's been punished for what he did to you.
00:43:31You must be the son I keep hearing so much about.
00:43:35Weren't you kidnapped to join the army?
00:43:37Run away, did you?
00:43:39And now you've come here to leech off me.
00:43:41You're John Moore.
00:43:44Now, did I hear you say you wanted to have my father beaten?
00:43:48So what if I did?
00:43:50What's a runt like you that'd do about it anyway?
00:43:53Cry?
00:43:54Piss your pants?
00:43:56Say that again.
00:44:02If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister,
00:44:06then you'd be wrong.
00:44:08Let go of me, you dirty dog.
00:44:14Resulting to violence now, are we?
00:44:17Like the lowlife you are.
00:44:19Come on, then.
00:44:21Hit me.
00:44:22And you regret ever being born.
00:44:23You think that can stop me?
00:44:26Who do you think you are?
00:44:35Oh, it's just a peasant.
00:44:37John, my darling, I come bearing good news.
00:44:39Father says the Duke has arranged for a banquet at the manor and you're invited.
00:44:43And the Duke is going to ask the King to grant you a title.
00:44:46Finally, you can be part of upper society and we can marry.
00:44:48A title?
00:44:49Adela, tell me it's true.
00:44:51I'll finally have a name to match my wealth.
00:44:53Ah, no one will be able to tell us what to do.
00:44:56No one will be able to say no to us.
00:45:00Of course, it's true, John, darling.
00:45:02The Duke adores my father.
00:45:03He's the Baron, after all.
00:45:04In fact, the Duke is at the manor right now.
00:45:08Don't waste your time with these peasants.
00:45:10Let's go, John.
00:45:11Lady Adela, I'm afraid we must deal with these peasants first.
00:45:14As dirty as they are,
00:45:15Ah, this is Arthur on his brother.
00:45:17And now that I'm rich,
00:45:19he wants to force me to marry his sister.
00:45:21What did you say?
00:45:24Oh, I see.
00:45:25You're that boy that was kidnapped as a child.
00:45:28Well then, be gone.
00:45:30We have nothing to give a shameless beggar.
00:45:34Oh, don't touch me, you disgusting man.
00:45:36Don't you know who my father is?
00:45:37Lord Benjamin, evidently.
00:45:39Don't you know?
00:45:41Even your father watches his tongue around me.
00:45:43Ah!
00:45:44Adela!
00:45:45Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.
00:45:49Have you no manners around the rich?
00:45:51You scum.
00:45:52You better beg for forgiveness if you want to live.
00:45:55And what authority do you have over me?
00:45:57And what authority do you have over me?
00:45:59Every authority, peasant scum.
00:46:02My father is the Baron of Stamford.
00:46:04And now that you're all here,
00:46:06let it be known.
00:46:07I am not going to marry Anna.
00:46:10I am to be a noble,
00:46:11so do not let me catch sight of you all again.
00:46:14Going back on your word, John?
00:46:16That's unbecoming of your future title.
00:46:18I think John has made himself clear enough.
00:46:20Get lost, you blood-sucking leech.
00:46:23Leeching off of him?
00:46:25I would never.
00:46:26His money is as vile as his word.
00:46:30No matter.
00:46:32A man like you doesn't deserve my sister anyway.
00:46:36Men, get him.
00:46:38No!
00:46:40Men, get him.
00:46:42No!
00:46:44Arthur, we will tell Anna.
00:46:47But please, we cannot anger Mr. Moore.
00:46:51He's going to be a noble now.
00:46:54At least your chambermaid of a mother
00:46:55knows how to act in front of men like me.
00:46:58Drop the matter, and I'll let you leave.
00:47:00We'll go.
00:47:04But best you remember,
00:47:07it is the Wellesleys who called off this engagement.
00:47:11Because you, John Moore,
00:47:13are unfit for my sister.
00:47:15John Moore,
00:47:18are unfit for my sister.
00:47:21My word.
00:47:23Unfit.
00:47:24For you.
00:47:25Let's see.
00:47:26Servant,
00:47:27servant,
00:47:28beggar.
00:47:29Oh, you're too funny.
00:47:31Take this as a friendly warning, John.
00:47:33Unless you regret your decision later.
00:47:35I have no mind to regret anything regarding you lot.
00:47:38Now that that's settled,
00:47:40if you ever speak to us again,
00:47:42I will have your legs cut off.
00:47:44Come now.
00:47:46We have a banquet to attend.
00:47:56That's the Moors for you.
00:47:57Some coin,
00:47:58and they forget everything that we've ever done for them.
00:48:00Oh, Arthur.
00:48:02I wish we had had a better reception for you.
00:48:05Oh, Mother,
00:48:05don't say that, please.
00:48:07I've already arranged something for you.
00:48:08I finally found you.
00:48:10That's cause for celebration.
00:48:11You've arranged something?
00:48:13No.
00:48:13No, I...
00:48:14Please.
00:48:15I hope you haven't spent any coin on us, Arthur.
00:48:18What have you arranged?
00:48:19Just something small at the Baron's Manor.
00:48:21Don't worry, Mother.
00:48:23It's been paid for.
00:48:24At the Baron's Manor?
00:48:25Arthur!
00:48:26Haven't you heard the duke will be there?
00:48:28We can't possibly impose.
00:48:30It's...
00:48:31Like I said, Mother,
00:48:32don't worry.
00:48:34You'll see.
00:48:35I'll see.
00:48:43Lady Adela,
00:48:45this is all very splendid.
00:48:48You must introduce us to the duke when he arrives.
00:48:51Oh, Mrs. Moore, of course.
00:48:53As the Baron of Stanford,
00:48:54my father is very close to the duke.
00:48:57It's likely he was the one to recommend John in the first place.
00:48:59Of course, the duke would love to meet you.
00:49:02I cannot believe it.
00:49:03A noble title.
00:49:05Lady Adela,
00:49:06you are simply full of surprises.
00:49:08You are the best match for John,
00:49:09no doubt about it.
00:49:11I mean to ask, Adela.
00:49:13Why would someone like the duke
00:49:15come to Stanford in the first place?
00:49:17Well, Stanford is his hometown.
00:49:19The king dispatched him here
00:49:20to oversee the building of a new fort.
00:49:23The real reason is his parents.
00:49:25He was separated from them when he was a child.
00:49:27Even this banquet, I hear, is all for them.
00:49:30Must be good, noble people
00:49:32to rear such a fine man like the duke.
00:49:34We must make a good impression.
00:49:37Mm-hmm.
00:49:41How do those peasants get in?
00:50:01This banquet, I've arranged it all for you.
00:50:04I'll introduce you to everyone shortly.
00:50:07Arthur, don't just.
00:50:09What do you mean for us?
00:50:11Mother, I'm serious.
00:50:14This is all for you.
00:50:15But, how could you have arranged all this?
00:50:18How much money did you spend?
00:50:20Money has nothing to do with it, Father.
00:50:22I just want to see you happy.
00:50:23We are happy.
00:50:25Truly happy.
00:50:27We're finally all together again.
00:50:32John, I thought you told them to get lost.
00:50:35Why are they back?
00:50:35John, I thought you told them to get lost.
00:50:41Why are they back?
00:50:42Damn lowlifes.
00:50:44They must have tailed us in.
00:50:46I knew those ill-bred dogs would go away that easily.
00:50:50Scoundrels all.
00:50:51Mrs. Moore, rest easy.
00:50:54This banquet is held on the duke's orders,
00:50:57and Father asked me to see that our guests enjoy themselves.
00:51:00I have every authority to throw them out.
00:51:06Come.
00:51:06Who let you in?
00:51:19Who let you in?
00:51:21You must be lost, peasant.
00:51:23This is the duke's banquet,
00:51:24not the gruel kitchen.
00:51:26I suggest you turn around immediately.
00:51:28And I suggest you shut your mouth.
00:51:29This is my manor.
00:51:32My father is hosting it under direct orders of the duke.
00:51:36You have no place to speak here.
00:51:40And you?
00:51:41You must be the bitch that John was engaged to.
00:51:44I'll have you know,
00:51:45John is going to be a noble.
00:51:48You'll have no way into his home.
00:51:50Unless you'd like to be our maid once we marry.
00:51:54Lowborn as I may be,
00:51:56I'm still more noble than a harlot like you.
00:51:58You wench.
00:52:00I will not let you talk to Lady Adela like this.
00:52:03Apologize right now.
00:52:04I owe her nothing of the sort.
00:52:06She is the one who's courting an engaged man.
00:52:08I told your parents,
00:52:10and your disgusting beggar of a brother,
00:52:13I called off the engagement.
00:52:15You're not good enough for me.
00:52:17You're wrong.
00:52:18It's you who isn't good enough for me.
00:52:20I would never marry a man with such a fickle heart,
00:52:23who would abandon his fiancée
00:52:25just to chase after some harlot's coin.
00:52:28You dirty bitch.
00:52:31That's what you get for talking to my son like that.
00:52:37How dare you raise your hands to my daughter?
00:52:39How dare she insult my son?
00:52:42You're right, Mother.
00:52:43We ought to slap some sense into them.
00:52:45Anna, look at yourself.
00:52:47You're nothing compared to Lady Adela.
00:52:49It's no wonder I chose her.
00:52:52Lady Adela is Lord Benjamin's daughter.
00:52:54What do you have that Lady Adela doesn't?
00:52:59Besides this useless beggar of a brother?
00:53:02Do not insult my brother.
00:53:04He is more noble than any of you.
00:53:05All this dirty work must have done you in.
00:53:16A beggar like him.
00:53:18You lowly peasants.
00:53:20None of you deserve to talk to us.
00:53:22Get out or we'll throw you out with force.
00:53:25Get out or we'll throw you out with force.
00:53:29It is you who ought to be thrown out.
00:53:35Hmm.
00:53:36What a pretty money-sucking leech.
00:53:40I would tell her.
00:53:42I am disgusted by the implication.
00:53:45Despite her features,
00:53:47a maid that cleans chamber parts all day
00:53:49is more fit to marry a stable boy.
00:53:51Say that again and I'll make you pay.
00:53:53Oh no.
00:53:56What are you going to do?
00:53:58Hit me?
00:53:59Well, come on then.
00:54:01Have at it.
00:54:04Well, I do say I think this was the first time
00:54:08I heard someone ask for it.
00:54:09But I think we all heard him clearly enough.
00:54:14You feel it.
00:54:15You asked for it.
00:54:18I obliged.
00:54:18Lord Benjamin.
00:54:24The Duke has arrived.
00:54:25He's here already.
00:54:27We have to go.
00:54:28You asked for it.
00:54:29I am to be a noble
00:54:31and you will not offend me again.
00:54:33Why should I care?
00:54:34I'm sure Lord Benjamin would understand.
00:54:36Do not speak my father's name.
00:54:38You're dead.
00:54:39My father will see to it when he arrives.
00:54:41On your knees.
00:54:43And I demand you apologize to John now.
00:54:45And your filthy parents too.
00:54:47Down!
00:54:48Who do you think you are barking orders at me?
00:54:50Don't think you're so high and mighty
00:54:51just because you followed us in.
00:54:53You've no right to speak to my son
00:54:55or Lady Adela like this.
00:54:56Don't you know how much I suffered
00:54:58being betrothed to a dirty whore of a sister?
00:55:01I will not let you embarrass me again.
00:55:06We've been gracious enough letting the matter go
00:55:08yet you shameless rats won't stop bothering us.
00:55:12Away!
00:55:12Off with you!
00:55:13Oh, Mrs. Moore.
00:55:14I have a much better idea.
00:55:16Let's add a few tears to their teary reunion.
00:55:19Guards!
00:55:23Execute him!
00:55:24No!
00:55:25I want to watch as they lose their precious son.
00:55:28Again.
00:55:29Oh, Lady Adela, I think if that's the case
00:55:32we ought to keep him alive.
00:55:33He's already a useless beggar.
00:55:35We ought to break his legs and keep him that way.
00:55:38Lisa!
00:55:38Lady Moore, please!
00:55:41I apologize.
00:55:42I'll have Arthur repent right away!
00:55:44Yes, please.
00:55:45Pardon us.
00:55:46Arthur, please.
00:55:47I beg of you, apologize.
00:55:49Please.
00:55:50You've enough wit to be scared,
00:55:52but it's too late.
00:55:53It's not my fault you've been grating on my nerves.
00:55:56I've nothing left for pity.
00:55:57Seems like you have quite a loud bark
00:55:59with no bite now.
00:56:00What did you just say to me?
00:56:04Mother.
00:56:05Father.
00:56:06I already told you.
00:56:07This banquet is for you.
00:56:09In honor of us all being together again.
00:56:11You have every right to enjoy yourself.
00:56:13If my sister was correct,
00:56:15you ought to apologize for your poor behavior.
00:56:17In order to have you thrown out.
00:56:18Soon,
00:56:19you'll be kneeling before us,
00:56:21begging for the forgiveness.
00:56:22We have every right to withhold.
00:56:23A pity
00:56:24to have a son like him.
00:56:26Imagine spending ten years to find your son,
00:56:29just to have him turn out like this.
00:56:31The real pity is what will be happening to you soon.
00:56:33I think I'll be quite happy in the future.
00:56:36Oh, yes.
00:56:38Happy.
00:56:39Very happy, I imagine,
00:56:40with your legs mingled,
00:56:41crawling on the ground.
00:56:43Oh, and your poor parents.
00:56:45I'm sure they'll be very joyous over such a sight.
00:56:48Seize them!
00:56:49No.
00:56:50No.
00:56:50Please, no.
00:56:52Presenting,
00:56:52the Honorable Lord Benjamin,
00:56:54Baron of Stamford.
00:56:57Oh, you're in for it now.
00:56:59Lord Benjamin is the most powerful man in Stamford,
00:57:02and he's backed by the Duke,
00:57:04whose authority is second only to the King.
00:57:06You poor, poor souls.
00:57:08We'll see what the Duke has to say
00:57:10when he hears about this.
00:57:11I reckon you'll all be beaten to death in the dungeons.
00:57:14Don't waste your breath, Madam.
00:57:16A commoner like him can't even fathom
00:57:17the great power the Duke has.
00:57:19Of course, Lady Adela.
00:57:20It'd be an honor for him to lay eyes on the gentlemen
00:57:23before he crushes them like the rest they are.
00:57:26Oh, I can't wait.
00:57:30How unfortunate had it come to this.
00:57:32Yes.
00:57:33How unfortunate it is for you.
00:57:35Lord Benjamin is my father,
00:57:38and once I tell him what you've done to me
00:57:40and my dear John,
00:57:42he'll have you all beheaded.
00:57:43No.
00:57:44Oh, how lucky it is to be so simple-minded.
00:57:48You, half-dead codgers,
00:57:51and you, harlots.
00:57:53Huh.
00:57:54Any last words?
00:57:56No teary goodbyes?
00:57:58Or do you wish to die with him?
00:58:00John, please.
00:58:02Arthur was just impulsive.
00:58:03Please put in a good word for him.
00:58:04Get your dirty hands off of me!
00:58:06You scoundrel!
00:58:07I'll do it again!
00:58:12You scoundrel!
00:58:14I'll do it again!
00:58:16John!
00:58:17My darling boy!
00:58:18How dare you!
00:58:20Touch my parents again,
00:58:21and your family will pay.
00:58:23Let it be known,
00:58:24this night was meant to be a joyous one,
00:58:25and I did not wish to taint it
00:58:27with strife and bloodshed.
00:58:29I would have let you go,
00:58:30as awful as your behavior was to me,
00:58:32but you insulted my virtuous sister
00:58:33and raised your hand to my saintly mother and father!
00:58:36Your actions beg for punishment,
00:58:38and I am happy to see to it.
00:58:41Let it be known,
00:58:43I plan to exile the Moore family
00:58:44from the good town of Stanford.
00:58:49Oh, you've gone mad.
00:58:51Truly mad.
00:58:53Lady Adela,
00:58:53have your men restrain him
00:58:55for the safety of your guests,
00:58:56and have him flogged in the dungeon.
00:59:01What's this again about the dungeons?
00:59:02Lord Benjamin,
00:59:06you're finally come.
00:59:07My lord,
00:59:08we've been troubled so
00:59:09by these lowly peasants.
00:59:11Father,
00:59:11it's them.
00:59:12I say we take them to the dungeons.
00:59:13This is the Duke's banquet,
00:59:19Adela.
00:59:20I will not tolerate your antics.
00:59:23Pardon me,
00:59:23Father.
00:59:24It seems I've been lax,
00:59:25for these lowly,
00:59:26dirty servants
00:59:27have snuck in.
00:59:29Lowly,
00:59:29dirty servants?
00:59:33Yes,
00:59:34Father.
00:59:34The Mr.
00:59:35and Mrs.
00:59:35are servants,
00:59:36and so is the daughter.
00:59:37And he's a beggar.
00:59:39A vile,
00:59:40disgusting man.
00:59:41Perhaps we could send them away
00:59:43with some scraps
00:59:43from the kitchens.
00:59:44I dare say they'd be better
00:59:45than anything they've ever tasted.
00:59:47Oh,
00:59:47Father,
00:59:48please allow me to see it.
00:59:49I'll have their bones broken
00:59:50and left out for the dogs
00:59:52for disturbing the Duke's banquet.
00:59:55Silence!
00:59:56But,
00:59:57Lord Benjamin,
00:59:57why?
00:59:59Duke of Mercia,
01:00:00Arthur.
01:00:01Your Grace,
01:00:03at your service.
01:00:05Ailed in his grace,
01:00:06the Duke,
01:00:07Arthur.
01:00:11What?
01:00:17That's him.
01:00:19He's Duke Arthur.
01:00:22That's him.
01:00:24He's Duke Arthur.
01:00:27Lord Benjamin,
01:00:28I was promised a warm welcome.
01:00:30What is all of this?
01:00:32I'll see to it,
01:00:33Your Grace.
01:00:34My boy,
01:00:35what did the parents say?
01:00:36Is it Duke Arthur
01:00:37that he just called you?
01:00:38What?
01:00:39What?
01:00:40Sir,
01:00:42madam,
01:00:43please.
01:00:45Benjamin,
01:00:46at your service.
01:00:47I don't understand.
01:00:49Are you really?
01:00:50Yes, Father.
01:00:51What?
01:00:53I'm the Duke.
01:00:55My boy?
01:00:56The Duke?
01:00:57That's my son.
01:00:59That's my son.
01:01:00He's the Duke.
01:01:01What did I say?
01:01:03My brother is more noble
01:01:04than anyone.
01:01:05Lord Benjamin,
01:01:07are you certain
01:01:08he's the Duke?
01:01:10Father,
01:01:11you said the Duke
01:01:12was a great man.
01:01:13You must be mistaken.
01:01:16You stupid girl.
01:01:18How could I be wrong?
01:01:19And you,
01:01:21you ought to be ashamed.
01:01:22How dare you do this
01:01:24to his grace,
01:01:24Duke Arthur?
01:01:25No,
01:01:26it can't be.
01:01:28Father,
01:01:28tell me it's a joke.
01:01:29It simply can't be.
01:01:30Get on your knees,
01:01:32girl,
01:01:32and maybe he'll forgive you.
01:01:34No.
01:01:37You said that the Duke
01:01:38was going to give John a title.
01:01:39Why would John
01:01:40call off the engagement
01:01:40to his sister?
01:01:43Maybe this will get through
01:01:44your thick skull.
01:01:46He is the Duke,
01:01:47the one and only.
01:01:49Guards,
01:01:50take her away
01:01:51until she's learned
01:01:52her lesson.
01:01:55Guards,
01:01:56take her away
01:01:57until she's learned
01:01:58her lesson.
01:01:59No!
01:02:00Father,
01:02:01no,
01:02:01he can't be,
01:02:02he can't be the Duke.
01:02:03he's able to get me!
01:02:07Your grace,
01:02:08I must apologize.
01:02:09That's enough.
01:02:11Your family
01:02:11has played your hand full.
01:02:13Duke Arthur, sir.
01:02:15Why, certainly.
01:02:16My son is still engaged
01:02:18to the Wellesley's daughter.
01:02:19Our connection
01:02:20is nothing to stop at.
01:02:21Mother,
01:02:22my brother-in-law,
01:02:24a Duke,
01:02:24will be even richer.
01:02:25My brother-in-law,
01:02:29a Duke,
01:02:30will be even richer.
01:02:31Will be set for life.
01:02:33Oh,
01:02:34married to the sister
01:02:34of the Duke.
01:02:35Oh, goodness.
01:02:36That must be why
01:02:37he wanted to give me
01:02:38a noble title.
01:02:39So I can marry Anna.
01:02:41Anna.
01:02:42Can you believe it?
01:02:43Your brother,
01:02:44a Duke.
01:02:45What does that have
01:02:45to do with you?
01:02:46It has everything
01:02:47to do with me,
01:02:48darling.
01:02:48You're my fiancé,
01:02:50remember?
01:02:51Don't forget about me
01:02:51just because your brother's
01:02:52a Duke now.
01:02:53You are truly shameless,
01:02:55John.
01:02:55Don't be like that,
01:02:56my dear,
01:02:57darling fiancé.
01:02:58Fiancé,
01:02:59have you forgotten
01:02:59what you just called me?
01:03:01A dirty whore
01:03:02only fit to what is
01:03:04table boy.
01:03:05Isn't that right?
01:03:06Oh, Anna,
01:03:07forgive him,
01:03:08would you?
01:03:08A pettiness
01:03:09doesn't suit
01:03:10a pretty face like yours.
01:03:12Women like us,
01:03:13we ought to understand
01:03:13our husband's temperaments.
01:03:16My sister,
01:03:18petty,
01:03:18has rich coming from you.
01:03:20Oh, Duke Arthur.
01:03:21Uh, my brother.
01:03:23I must apologize
01:03:24for what I said.
01:03:25I'll apologize to Anna.
01:03:27There is no need.
01:03:28I have no wish
01:03:29to hear anything
01:03:29further from you.
01:03:31The woman has spoken,
01:03:31John.
01:03:32It seems my sister
01:03:33disdains your vile habits.
01:03:35Anna,
01:03:36this is all my fault.
01:03:38We grew up together,
01:03:39didn't we?
01:03:40I loved you.
01:03:41I did.
01:03:42This has all been
01:03:43a big misunderstanding,
01:03:44of course.
01:03:45I'm sure you can forgive me.
01:03:47Please,
01:03:47give me another chance.
01:03:49Yes, dear,
01:03:50just a misunderstanding.
01:03:52Let's put it all
01:03:53behind us now,
01:03:54shall we?
01:03:55Yeah.
01:03:57Forgive you!
01:03:58I don't think I will.
01:04:00It would be a sin
01:04:01to forget what you've done
01:04:02to my mother and father.
01:04:03My brother's title
01:04:04has nothing to do with you.
01:04:06I wish for you to be gone
01:04:07and to never come back.
01:04:09Anna.
01:04:12Forgive me.
01:04:14You're better than this.
01:04:15Please, forgive me.
01:04:19You're better than this.
01:04:20Leave my sister alone, scum.
01:04:24Your apology means nothing.
01:04:26Please,
01:04:27your grace,
01:04:28Duke Arthur.
01:04:29It's all my fault.
01:04:30I've wronged you.
01:04:31I admit it.
01:04:32I beg your pardon.
01:04:34Mr. Wesley,
01:04:35madame,
01:04:36please ask Arthur
01:04:38to show us mercy.
01:04:39I was betrothed to Anna.
01:04:41I've shown her much kindness.
01:04:43Mother,
01:04:44please ask him to forgive me.
01:04:46I cannot live without Anna.
01:04:49Jane, please.
01:04:50I even got you the job
01:04:51at the Baron's Manor.
01:04:52Are you going to be so cruel
01:04:54as to forget everything
01:04:55I've done for you
01:04:56that John's done for you?
01:04:58A bit of compassion
01:04:59for an old friend?
01:05:01Yes,
01:05:02Mr. Wesley, please.
01:05:03I'll do anything for her.
01:05:05I'll give her whatever she wants.
01:05:06If you just,
01:05:07please forgive my one transgression.
01:05:10How dare you
01:05:11ask for compassion?
01:05:16How dare you
01:05:17ask for compassion?
01:05:18Have you shown any compassion
01:05:19to my father?
01:05:20To my mother?
01:05:22Those ten long years
01:05:23I was gone.
01:05:24Did you help them at all?
01:05:25Did you give them
01:05:26any aid?
01:05:27You speak of them
01:05:28as an old friend,
01:05:29as if they have ever
01:05:30forsaken you.
01:05:31But you,
01:05:32had I not been announced
01:05:33as the Duke,
01:05:34you would have kicked them
01:05:35to the ground
01:05:35and spit on their bodies.
01:05:37You called off
01:05:38my sister's engagement
01:05:39for the first noble lady
01:05:40you saw.
01:05:41You do not deserve
01:05:42my mercy.
01:05:43Duke,
01:05:44Arthur,
01:05:45I...
01:05:46Silence!
01:05:46I've seen you
01:05:47at your worst.
01:05:48I've seen how you
01:05:49treated me.
01:05:50My father,
01:05:51my mother,
01:05:52Anna.
01:05:53You are a shameless,
01:05:55filthy villain.
01:05:57Be gone!
01:05:59Lord Benjamin.
01:06:00Yes, sir.
01:06:01Have the Moors
01:06:02removed from the manor.
01:06:07Lord Benjamin.
01:06:08Yes, sir.
01:06:09Have the Moors
01:06:09removed from the manor
01:06:10and forbid anyone
01:06:12from doing business
01:06:13with them
01:06:14in the town of Stanford.
01:06:15Yes, sir.
01:06:20Much better.
01:06:22Father,
01:06:23mother,
01:06:24Anna,
01:06:26let us enjoy
01:06:28this banquet in peace.

01:06:30this banquet
01:06:32is lovely.
01:06:33thank you.
01:06:35But nothing
01:06:35is better
01:06:36than us
01:06:37being reunited
01:06:38as a family.
01:06:39And together
01:06:40we'll be
01:06:41forever.
