00:00:00Once upon a time, the kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:00:04Every man must stand and fight.
00:00:08No! No! No! No! Please! Please!
00:00:12I don't want to go to war! Spare me!
00:00:18I'm scared, Arthur. Will they take you and Papa away too?
00:00:23No, they won't. Okay?
00:00:26I got something for both of you. I had these blessed by the church today.
00:00:34This one is for you, Arthur.
00:00:39And this one, Anna, is for you.
00:00:42May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:00:49Thank you, Mom.
00:00:52I love you.
00:00:55Mama?
00:00:56Yes.
00:00:56My belly hurts. I think I need to go potty.
00:01:00I see.
00:01:02Yes, I...
00:01:03Wait, Mama. It's Papa's birthday today.
00:01:07I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef.
00:01:13Just a little bit.
00:01:14I'm sorry, sweet. We can't afford beef.
00:01:24Maybe we could have a chicken.
00:01:27Your favorite chicken pie.
00:01:29Huzzah!
00:01:30Thank you, Mom.

00:05:10you
00:05:12you
00:05:14I have a feeling I know why you're here
00:05:30Your majesty, nothing escapes you
00:05:34Nothing does escape me
00:05:35Which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford
00:05:39You'll oversee the building of a new fort
00:05:42To strengthen our borders
00:05:44The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project
00:05:48But your majesty, my duty as a duke is to protect
00:05:50Go, go
00:05:51Go, my boy
00:05:56You fought enough battles for me
00:05:58And did a great service to the kingdom of Mercia
00:06:02This is why I gave you the title of duke
00:06:07Go back to Stamford
00:06:10Find your family
00:06:12They would be so proud to see the man you've become
00:06:16And while you're at it
00:06:18Build me that castle
00:06:20I won't let you down, sir
00:06:24I miss you
00:06:31Robert, my sweet nephew
00:06:36Here
00:06:37All my wages
00:06:38I'm depending on you
00:06:42You work for the Baron now
00:06:44So please help me find your cousin
00:06:46I beg of you
00:06:47Aunt Jane
00:06:50My connections are expensive
00:06:52I'll look into it
00:06:54But not today
00:06:55The duke is coming to Stamford
00:06:57Everything has to be perfect
00:06:59The duke is coming
00:07:01Robert, maybe you can ask the duke to help me find my son
00:07:06I've heard that the duke is a great knight in battle
00:07:09So perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with his necklace
00:07:13Maybe he knows my Arthur
00:07:14Have you lost your wits?
00:07:18Ask the duke for help
00:07:19Who do you think you are?
00:07:21Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the duke for such trifles
00:07:25Robert, please just have him take a look
00:07:28It's your own fault you lost your son
00:07:42Don't blame other people for your own negligence
00:07:45It is my fault
00:07:46I should have never let him out of my sight
00:07:48I regret it every single day
00:07:50But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages
00:07:54You would help me find my son
00:07:56I told you, not today
00:07:59The duke could be here any second
00:08:02Get lost before he sees your ugly face
00:08:06The duke is here
00:08:10Go, get
00:08:21That's the duke
00:08:23He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms
00:08:26The king treats him like a suck
00:08:29I don't know.
00:08:59Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:09:16Welcome, your grace.
00:09:17Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:09:20We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?
00:09:23Your grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.
00:09:27I beg for your forgiveness.
00:09:29It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.
00:09:32You are too kind, your grace.
00:09:34I've returned to find my family.
00:09:36Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:09:39I shall have them brought here at once.
00:09:41My 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.
00:09:59Could this be me?
00:10:10Find who this belongs to.
00:10:11I will see to this personally.
00:10:13Mom, where are you?
00:10:21The Duke of Mercia has come to the Baron's Manor.
00:10:26The king must hold him in high regard.
00:10:29They say he's looking for his family.
00:10:30Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:10:34Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family, then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my author.
00:10:43Don't be stupid.
00:10:48This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:10:52How could a man like that be your son?
00:10:55Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:10:58Stop being delusional.
00:11:02No.
00:11:03I must see the Duke.
00:11:05Duke, have you lost your mind?
00:11:24I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:11:28Did someone call my name just now?
00:11:41Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:11:44No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.
00:11:50What were you thinking?
00:11:53Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:11:57Robert just became butler.
00:11:59I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:12:02I swear that was my son.
00:12:05That was Arthur.
00:12:06You have truly gone mad.
00:12:08That was the Duke.
00:12:10The second most important man in the entire kingdom.
00:12:13How could a man of such standing be your son?
00:12:18He looked just like him.
00:12:21I swear that...
00:12:22Ow!
00:12:23Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:12:27Calling the Duke your son?
00:12:29What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:12:32Please.
00:12:33Just let me speak to him.
00:12:36Let me show him this.
00:12:44Ow!
00:12:49Robert!
00:12:49Robert!
00:12:52Robert!
00:12:52Don't!
00:12:53Not while the Duke is here.
00:12:56Robert!
00:12:58What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:00Anna!
00:13:02Give me that back.
00:13:03I needed to find Arthur.
00:13:05Worthless piece of junk.
00:13:07Robert.
00:13:08We're a family.
00:13:09We're supposed to help each other.
00:13:11But you're a fun...
00:13:13family?
00:13:13It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:13:17My son has risen up through the ranks.
00:13:21While yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:13:25It's pathetic, really.
00:13:26I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.
00:13:31And you...
00:13:32You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:13:38You never even thought to look for him.
00:13:40You liar!
00:13:41You cheat!
00:13:43Give me back my coin!
00:13:45Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:13:48And this...
00:13:50Say goodbye to your son.
00:13:55No!
00:13:57No!
00:13:58Mother...
00:13:59Mother, no!
00:14:04Mother, no!
00:14:07No!
00:14:08Oh!
00:14:09Oh!
00:14:09Oh!
00:14:10Come, Mother.
00:14:11Let's go.
00:14:11Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:14:16We'll never be able to find Arthur enough with this.
00:14:19It's all right.
00:14:19It's all right, Mother.
00:14:20Have you forgotten?
00:14:21I carry one, too.
00:14:24Oh, Anna.
00:14:25Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,
00:14:29I'll see what I can do.
00:14:30Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:14:49Your Grace, my Lord.
00:14:52Forgive me, Your Grace.
00:15:14Useless girl!
00:15:17Your Grace, are you all right?
00:15:19I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:15:20No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:15:24Your kindness humbles us all.
00:15:27Well, don't just sit there.
00:15:30Clean yourself up!
00:15:34Why does she seem so familiar?
00:15:37It seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:15:41How could Robert do this to you?
00:15:47He beat you.
00:15:50You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:15:52Oh, Carl.
00:15:54You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:15:58It's only going to get worse now that Robert is butler to the baron.
00:16:04Mother?
00:16:05Father?
00:16:06This place is so familiar to me.
00:16:12And it's strategic.
00:16:15I'll build the new fort here.
00:16:17See to it that all the families along this road are asked to leave.
00:16:20And compensate them well.
00:16:21I will start the process right away.
00:16:30Father.
00:16:30What did the Duke say?
00:16:33Did he...
00:16:34Mother.
00:16:38What?
00:16:39I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:16:42No.
00:16:44He does.
00:16:45He does resemble him, yes.
00:16:47But he didn't recognize the necklace.
00:16:50No.
00:16:50I'm so sorry.
00:16:54I thought I was him.
00:16:56I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.
00:17:00I know at least you'll sleep easier, knowing this is by your side.
00:17:06Oh, your grace.
00:17:16I dare say you look as handsome as ever.
00:17:19These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:17:26Leave me.
00:17:27I wish to explore the city by myself.
00:17:30See if anything can jog my memory.
00:17:32Yes, your grace.
00:17:33Oh, it must be Anna.
00:17:43She must have forgot something.
00:17:45Anna?
00:17:50What are you all doing here?
00:17:57Especially after what you did to my wife.
00:17:58Long time no see, brother.
00:18:00Still living in this hovel, huh?
00:18:02Would you like some bread?
00:18:05We were just about to sit down for lunch, so I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:18:10You call this food?
00:18:12The Baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.
00:18:20But fortune favors the undeserving.
00:18:23Now you'll be able to buy some real food.
00:18:27What do you mean, Laura?
00:18:29Tell them, Robert.
00:18:30Robert.
00:18:32It really is a shack.
00:18:41But luckily, it'll be gone soon.
00:18:44Your land has been seized.
00:18:45This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.
00:18:48No.
00:18:49To bolster our defenses.
00:18:51The order came directly from the Duke himself.
00:18:54No.
00:18:54But you will be well compensated for the trouble.
00:18:59Just sign here and you'll receive 20 gold pieces.
00:19:04As your brother, I should be entitled to half.
00:19:08But as you have no son, and I have a son, I ought to take two thirds.
00:19:12What?
00:19:13No, this is our family home.
00:19:16No.
00:19:17If Arthur returns, how will he find his way home?
00:19:19She's right.
00:19:20We won't give up our land.
00:19:21Not for 20 gold coins.
00:19:23Not for nothing.
00:19:23Then you are dafter than I thought.
00:19:25Let me remind you, your son is not coming back because he's dead.
00:19:33No.
00:19:33No, no, no.
00:19:34You hold your tongue.
00:19:35Arthur will return.
00:19:36And when we remain here until he does, we won't give up hope.
00:19:40Not for any penny coin.
00:19:41You don't get a say.
00:19:43The order comes from above.
00:19:45Enough of this insolence.
00:19:46Leave my house at once.
00:19:47Leave my house.
00:19:48Carl.
00:19:51Carl.
00:19:53Carl, you're right.
00:19:56We are family.
00:19:58We are supposed to support each other.
00:20:00And if you can't do that, then leave.
00:20:02Then you've chosen death.
00:20:03So be it.
00:20:08This place really does feel so familiar.
00:20:15What?
00:20:17What are you doing?
00:20:22I'll tell you this one last time.
00:20:24Sign the damn contract, or I'll beat you to death.
00:20:27You are his brother.
00:20:28How can you do this to him?
00:20:30No man as useless as him deserves to be my brother.
00:20:33Oh.
00:20:34Oh.
00:20:35Oh.
00:20:37Sign it.
00:20:37Now.

00:28:38Serves you right, brother.
00:28:42Oh, no!
00:28:50What happened here?
00:28:52Lord Benjamin, it was all your butler's doing.
00:28:56And your cousin, Lady Edith.
00:28:59They even took my son to the dungeon!
00:29:00Your son?
00:29:04Tall and with dark hair?
00:29:06We need to go!
00:29:13Now!
00:29:16Carl, what are we going to do?
00:29:17Because Arthur's gone.
00:29:19Anne.
00:29:20Anne is engaged to John Moore.
00:29:21The Moors can help.
00:29:23They're engaged, yes, but that was years ago.
00:29:24John Moore's a rich man now.
00:29:26He surely can't.
00:29:26We have to try, Carl, please.
00:29:29You're right.
00:29:30We have to just...
00:29:31You're right. We have to try.
00:29:31We have to find our son.
00:29:32What happened to that fire?
00:29:39That rage?
00:29:41Scared of the consequences now, runt?
00:29:43Consequences.
00:29:44For giving you what you deserve.
00:29:52Watch your mouth.
00:29:55Your family is done for, and you're still talking back.
00:29:59No, my lady.
00:30:01It's your family that's done for.
00:30:03I've made up my mind.
00:30:05I will not spare you.
00:30:07Me needing sparing from you.
00:30:11You've gone mad.
00:30:16It seems like you've gotten it in your head that you could do something to us.
00:30:20Let me remind you of your place.
00:30:34You insolent brat!
00:30:38What are you doing?
00:30:40Reminding you of your place.
00:30:46Stop it or I'll have you killed!
00:30:48You have me killed.
00:30:50You've got the wrong man.
00:31:05Consider it your warning, cousin.
00:31:08The gall of you!
00:31:10Threatening me and then calling yourself my cousin!
00:31:13I won't let you off easy!
00:31:15Oh.
00:31:16You want another go?
00:31:17Still trying to act tough.
00:31:19It seems like we'll need to teach you a lesson.
00:31:22Guards!
00:31:23Flog him!
00:31:26Hold it!
00:31:29You're not flogging anyone.
00:31:35Hold it!
00:31:36Oh, cousin, you don't understand.
00:31:45This lowly scum had disregarded your orders and impeded the Duke's relocation efforts and...
00:31:51And he even tried to punch me!
00:31:53Cousin Benjamin, you must see to it that he is punished.
00:31:56Stop oinking once the Baron showed up, hmm?
00:31:59Your side of the Wellesley family is going to be dinner.
00:32:02Sir, this lowly villain is unfortunately my cousin.
00:32:08Just like his parents, they've no regard for your authority.
00:32:11That's right, Benjamin.
00:32:12What happened again?
00:32:13We had gone to the less fortunate Wellesley's to evict them, but he tried to stop us.
00:32:18So, Edith had him brought here to teach him a lesson, but it looks like he hasn't learned anything.
00:32:24Oh, oh, sir, you don't know the half of it.
00:32:26He hit us and ordered us to kneel to him.
00:32:30He even said that you were lowlier than he.
00:32:33You must punish him accordingly.
00:32:36As I was saying, the consequences of your actions.
00:32:41Oh, you fool.
00:32:44There will be consequences, all right.
00:32:46For you!
00:32:47What for, sir?
00:32:50Have I done something wrong, sir?
00:32:52I don't...
00:32:53Cousin, you misunderstand.
00:32:57There is no misunderstanding.
00:32:58I've lost your mind.
00:33:01Do you know who this man is?
00:33:07Do you know who this man is?
00:33:09He's nothing but a beggar, the son of peasants.
00:33:15Get out of my sight, you pathetic woman.
00:33:21Duke of Mercia, your grace.
00:33:24Pardon my tardiness.
00:33:28Duke?
00:33:30What do you mean, Duke?
00:33:32Sir, you must be mistaken.
00:33:34Rightly so.
00:33:35He's a peasant, a beggar.
00:33:37How could he be the Duke?
00:33:41Don't question me.
00:33:44No.
00:33:44No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:33:45This is possible.
00:33:47How can you say you're the Duke?
00:33:49Shut it, Wellesley.
00:33:53You have no right to speak.
00:33:55That lowlife's the Duke?
00:33:57Carl's son is the Duke?
00:33:59Oh, no.
00:34:00No.
00:34:01George, what have we done?
00:34:02Lord Venture, it seems that you've neglected your duties as baron.
00:34:16Your people have shown me nothing but disdain.
00:34:20They take from the poor, torture your innocent, pillage and kill.
00:34:24Have you no order in Stanford?
00:34:27I'll have them punished for their wrongdoings.
00:34:29I imagine then it was you who have allowed them to do this.
00:34:36And it is you who must be punished.
00:34:39Mercy, Your Grace.
00:34:41I'll have them flogged, exiled, punished to the extent of the law.
00:34:46Please, Your Grace, spare us.
00:34:49Cousin.
00:34:52It's my fault.
00:34:54See, Your Grace, I've been a fool.
00:34:57You will punish me, flog me, as you will.
00:35:00But I live.
00:35:03We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.
00:35:06I don't want to die.
00:35:09Young Arthur, my son had just become a butler.
00:35:12He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.
00:35:16Please, we adore him so.
00:35:18You must kill him or exile him.
00:35:22Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's own brother.
00:35:28Oh, you're too cruel, Arthur.
00:35:31How can you do this to another Wellesley?
00:35:38Cruelty?
00:35:38Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?
00:35:41Threatening to leave them homeless and laughing in their face when they begged you?
00:35:46Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?
00:35:49Your own brother?
00:35:52And cousin Robert?
00:35:54What happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?
00:35:57Did you pity your poor cousin then?
00:36:00I've seen you for what you are.
00:36:02Shameless and wretched scum.
00:36:05You are unfit to live.
00:36:09Have them dealt with.
00:36:11And think about what you've done.
00:36:13You're meant to be noble.
00:36:14Not only in your actions, but in your name.
00:36:17See that your people behave.
00:36:19Or I'll have your title removed.
00:36:21I will see to them personally.
00:36:24Oh, please.
00:36:26Oh, sir.
00:36:27Please.
00:36:28Robert deceived me.
00:36:29It's all his fault.
00:36:31Please, Duke Arthur.
00:36:32Spare me.
00:36:33I, uh, I'll do anything for you.
00:36:36Egypt.
00:36:38What are you doing?
00:36:40You villain.
00:36:42If it weren't for you, I never would have gotten involved with this mess.
00:36:45I'm calling off our engagement.
00:36:47From this moment onward, I'll have nothing to do with you.
00:36:51I beg of you, O Graydon, honorable Duke.
00:36:53Forgive me.
00:36:54Don't you want to see what I have to offer?
00:36:59Save it, my sloth.
00:37:00Lord Benjamin, make sure these vermin never cross my path again.
00:37:07They make me sick.
00:37:13Guards!
00:37:14Lock them up.
00:37:15Cousin, please!
00:37:17Won't you speak to him?
00:37:18Just let me go.
00:37:20I won't ever do it again.
00:37:21No!
00:37:24No!
00:37:25Sir!
00:37:26Please!
00:37:27Please!
00:37:28Please, please!
00:37:28No!
00:37:35In good news, Benjamin, I found my parents.
00:37:38My God, it's wonderful, Your Grace.
00:37:41What a blessed day it is.
00:37:43I wish to host a banquet tonight.
00:37:45Introduce my parents to upper society.
00:37:48Life has been cruel to them, and I wish for them to live happily.
00:37:54Oh, and my sister, too.
00:37:56Anna.
00:37:56I want to do something special for her as well.
00:37:59Did you just say Anna?
00:38:01It's in the maid, Anna.
00:38:03Right.
00:38:04Anna.
00:38:04She works here, doesn't she?
00:38:06Oh.
00:38:08Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:38:11Mr. Wellesley, Lord Benjamin says Anna is to attend to the Duke personally for the next few days.
00:38:24Did you just say Anna?
00:38:27It's in the maid, Anna.
00:38:28Right.
00:38:29Anna.
00:38:30She works here, doesn't she?
00:38:31Bring me to her.
00:38:33No, Your Grace.
00:38:34What?
00:38:35I thought that you fancied her, so I...
00:38:39What have you done?
00:38:40Bring me to her right now.
00:38:49You have fine features for a scullery maid.
00:38:57I can see why he likes you.
00:39:00Mr. Crowley, did you need something?
00:39:03Yes, pet.
00:39:05You have been chosen.
00:39:10Take off your clothes.
00:39:13What are you going to do to me?
00:39:15Oh, don't worry.
00:39:16I have no interest in you.
00:39:18I wouldn't dare.
00:39:22Put this on.
00:39:30Perfect.
00:39:30I can see why he chose you in particular.
00:39:34Mr. Crowley, what's all this about?
00:39:37The Baron has ordered you to meet another client.
00:39:40A big man.
00:39:42You are to be his mistress.
00:39:44To satisfy his physical needs, of course.
00:39:47An honor for a common whore like you.
00:39:50No, I refuse.
00:39:51You don't have a choice.
00:39:55Baron's orders.
00:40:00Do you even know who you are serving?
00:40:02It is the Duke.
00:40:04The one you poured tea on.
00:40:05What?
00:40:06The Duke?
00:40:07Aw, dumb already, are you?
00:40:09Still think you can say no, whore?
00:40:11Please, I don't want to.
00:40:13No.
00:40:13It's a good opportunity, damn it.
00:40:21Mr. Crowley, I'm betrothed.
00:40:24I don't want to be another man's mistress.
00:40:28Hadn't your father just fallen ill?
00:40:30Weren't you complaining about money?
00:40:32Don't you even want to help your family, you ingrate?
00:40:34Serve the Duke, and the money's yours.
00:40:50You'll have no short supply of expensive little trinkets.
00:41:00I would never sell my body.
00:41:03Not for a few coppers.
00:41:06Not for anything.
00:41:08I am a woman of honor.
00:41:11Honor is for people who deserve it, not a lowly whore like you.
00:41:25No!
00:41:27Oh, no!
00:41:27You don't get to say no!
00:41:29Oh, my God!
00:41:30Oh, please!
00:41:31Hands off!
00:41:33Oh, no!
00:41:33You don't get to say no!
00:41:35Oh, my God!
00:41:36Oh, please!
00:41:39Hands off of her!
00:41:41He didn't hurt you, did he?
00:41:43Are you the Duke, sir?
00:41:46Sir, what is the meaning of this?
00:41:49You imbecile!
00:41:51But, sir, you said...
00:41:52Have you no shame acting like this in my manner?
00:41:58Sir, this bitch refused your orders.
00:42:02It is my right, as house steward, to teach her a lesson.
00:42:09Apologize to her, or I'll have you fired.
00:42:12Apologize to her, sir, but she's the lowly scullery maid.
00:42:16She was out of line!
00:42:18A lowly maid, mark my words, she's Duke Arthur's sister.
00:42:30She's his sister?
00:42:32The lowly maid is his sister?
00:42:35Arthur, are you really my brother?
00:42:38My Arthur?
00:42:40Yes, Anna.
00:42:42I've come back to protect you, and mother, and father.
00:42:47Arthur!
00:42:48Where have you been all these years?
00:42:50You missed you terribly.
00:42:52Here, there.
00:42:54Let me deal with this man first.
00:42:56Once again, Lord Benjamin, your men have shown their true colors.
00:43:06Disgusting and vile.
00:43:08Sir, I failed to discipline them.
00:43:12But yes, sir, Duke, I was wrong.
00:43:17I would have never treated her like that had I known that she was your sister.
00:43:20Yet you see no issue in treating her this way if she wasn't.
00:43:28Isn't that so?
00:43:30Lowly servants?
00:43:32They're worthless in your eyes, aren't they?
00:43:34Well, Mr. Stewart, you're worthless to me.
00:43:37No!
00:43:37It was Benjamin, the Baron!
00:43:39Lord!
00:43:39He asked me to!
00:43:40No, I didn't!
00:43:42Lord!
00:43:43Don't enter the dungeon!
00:43:44No!
00:43:45No, please!
00:43:46No, sir!
00:43:48No!
00:43:48No!
00:43:49No!
00:43:50Anna, tell me truly, are you all right?
00:43:56Yes, I am now, because you're back.
00:44:00And I can't believe it, you're the Duke!
00:44:03Oh, let's go see Mother and Father, they'll be overjoyed, I just know it!
00:44:07Anna, I've already met them.
00:44:10Oh, then you must know the years have been quite hard on them.
00:44:15But it's all worth it, because you're back.
00:44:18Anna, stay here.
00:44:19I'll bring them here, okay?
00:44:24Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently of the Moors.
00:44:28John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.
00:44:31Yes, John and I are engaged, but...
00:44:36He's your fiancé, Anna.
00:44:37So I'll love him like a brother.
00:44:40Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.
00:44:42I want to show our parents high society.
00:44:45And invite John Moore.
00:44:48I'll speak to the king.
00:44:49See if he can grant him a noble title.
00:44:51As you wish, Duke Arthur.
00:45:03Is that the Moors' home?
00:45:04Fine place for a merchant family, but...
00:45:07They'll be able to afford better very soon.
00:45:09Well, we're here.
00:45:15The home of our supposed son-in-law.
00:45:17Yeah.
00:45:17You tartaring fool.
00:45:27No!
00:45:28Why have you come back?
00:45:33John, this is your fiancé's father.
00:45:36You will call me Mr. Moore.
00:45:39And you are nothing to me.
00:45:42John!
00:45:43That's Mr. Moore.
00:45:45Shut up.
00:45:47I'm sorry.
00:45:48Mr. Moore, please, let's talk.
00:45:51And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancé?
00:45:55You've always been poor, but now you're liars, too.
00:45:59Mr. Moore, you know as well as I do.
00:46:01You've been betrothed to Anna for years.
00:46:04Your father and I, we had an arrangement.
00:46:06That may be so.
00:46:07But circumstances have changed.
00:46:10Do you think my father would want me marrying someone that comes from you filthy swine?
00:46:15That's not why we're here today.
00:46:18We're here because...
00:46:19Oh, I know.
00:46:21Money.
00:46:22Isn't that right?
00:46:25Alms for the poor.
00:46:27Now away with you.
00:46:30Mr. Moore, we didn't come here today for money.
00:46:32That's enough!
00:46:34Your breath reeks.
00:46:37Beat some sense into the old Kaja and take him out of here.
00:46:41I'd like to see you try.
00:46:46I'd like to see you try.
00:46:51Arthur, my boy.
00:46:54They set you free.
00:46:55Rightfully so, Father.
00:46:57Oh, Arthur.
00:46:57It's so good to see you alive and well.
00:47:01Father.
00:47:02Mother.
00:47:04Robert's been punished for what he did to you.
00:47:06You must be the son I keep hearing so much about.
00:47:10Weren't you kidnapped to join the army?
00:47:12Run away, did you?
00:47:14And now you've come here to leech off me?
00:47:17You're John Moore.
00:47:18Now, did I hear you say you wanted to have my father beaten?
00:47:24So what if I did?
00:47:27What's a runt like you going to do about it anyway?
00:47:30Cry?
00:47:31Piss your pants?
00:47:33Say that again.
00:47:34If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister, then you'd be wrong.
00:47:47Let go of me, you dirty dog.
00:47:50Resulting to violence now, are we?
00:47:57Like the lowlife you are.
00:48:00Come on, then.
00:48:01Hit me.
00:48:02And you regret ever being born.
00:48:04You think that can stop me?
00:48:07Who do you think you are?
00:48:17Oh, it's just a peasant.
00:48:19John, my darling, I come bearing good news.
00:48:22Father says the duke has arranged for a banquet at the manor and you're invited.
00:48:26And the duke is going to ask the king to grant you a title.
00:48:29Finally, you can be part of upper society and we can marry.
00:48:32A title?
00:48:33Adela, tell me it's true.
00:48:35I finally have a name to match my wealth.
00:48:38No one will be able to tell us what to do.
00:48:40No one will be able to say no to us.
00:48:46Of course it's true, John, darling.
00:48:48The duke adores my father.
00:48:49He's the baron, after all.
00:48:51In fact, the duke is at the manor right now.
00:48:55Don't waste your time with these peasants.
00:48:57Let's go, John.
00:48:58Lady Adela, I'm afraid we must deal with these peasants first.
00:49:01As dirty as they are, this is Arthur on his brother.
00:49:05And now that I'm rich, he wants to force me to marry his sister.
00:49:09What did you say?
00:49:10Oh, I see.
00:49:14You're that boy that was kidnapped as a child.
00:49:17Well then, be gone.
00:49:19We have nothing to give a shameless beggar.
00:49:23Oh, don't touch me, you disgusting man.
00:49:25Don't you know who my father is?
00:49:27Lord Benjamin, evidently.
00:49:29Don't you know?
00:49:31Even your father watches his tongue around me.
00:49:34Ah!
00:49:34Adela!
00:49:35Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.
00:49:40Have you no manners around the rich?
00:49:42You scum.
00:49:44You better beg for forgiveness if you want to live.
00:49:46And what authority do you have over me?
00:49:50And what authority do you have over me?
00:49:52Every authority, peasant scum.
00:49:55My father is the Baron of Stamford.
00:49:58And now that you're all here, let it be known.
00:50:01I am not going to marry Anna.
00:50:04I am to be a noble, so do not let me catch sight of you all again.
00:50:09Going back on your word, John?
00:50:11That's unbecoming of your future title.
00:50:13I think John has made himself clear enough.
00:50:16Get lost, you blood-sucking leech.
00:50:18Leeching off of him?
00:50:20I would never.
00:50:22His money is as vile as his word.
00:50:26No matter.
00:50:26A man like you doesn't deserve my sister anyway.
00:50:32Men, get him.
00:50:35No!
00:50:38Men, get him.
00:50:40No!
00:50:43Arthur, we will tell Anna.
00:50:46But, please, we cannot anger Mr. Moore.
00:50:50He's going to be a noble now.
00:50:53At least your chambermaid of a mother
00:50:55knows how to act in front of men like me.
00:50:57Drop the matter,
00:50:59and I'll let you leave.
00:51:04We'll go.
00:51:05But best you remember,
00:51:07it is the Wellesleys
00:51:09who called out this engagement.
00:51:11John Moore.
00:51:12Because you,
00:51:13John Moore,
00:51:14are unfit for my sister.
00:51:20John Moore,
00:51:21are unfit for my sister.
00:51:24My word.
00:51:25Unfit.
00:51:26For you.
00:51:27Let's see.
00:51:29Servant.
00:51:30Servant.
00:51:31Beggar.
00:51:32Oh, you're too funny.
00:51:34Take this as a friendly warning, John.
00:51:37Lest you regret your decision later.
00:51:39I've no mind to regret anything
00:51:41regarding you lot.
00:51:42Now that that's settled,
00:51:44if you ever speak to us again,
00:51:47I will have your legs cut off.
00:51:49Come now.
00:51:51We have a banquet to attend.
00:52:01Oh, that's the Moors for you.
00:52:03Some coin,
00:52:04and they forget everything
00:52:05that we've ever done for them.
00:52:07Oh, Arthur.
00:52:08I wish we had had
00:52:09a better reception for you.
00:52:12Oh, Mother,
00:52:12don't say that, please.
00:52:14I've already arranged something for you.
00:52:16I finally found you.
00:52:17That's cause for celebration.
00:52:19You've arranged something?
00:52:20No.
00:52:21No, I...
00:52:22Please,
00:52:23I hope you haven't spent
00:52:25any coin on us, Arthur.
00:52:26What have you arranged?
00:52:28Just something small
00:52:28at the Baron's Manor.
00:52:30Don't worry, Mother.
00:52:31It's been paid for.
00:52:33At the Baron's Manor?
00:52:34Arthur, we...
00:52:35Haven't you heard
00:52:36the Duke will be there?
00:52:38We can't possibly impose.
00:52:39It's...
00:52:40Like I said, Mother,
00:52:42don't worry.
00:52:44You'll see.
00:52:45Oh, she...
00:52:46Lady Adela,
00:52:57this is all very splendid.
00:52:59You must introduce us
00:53:01to the Duke
00:53:02when he arrives.
00:53:03Oh, Mrs. Moore,
00:53:04of course.
00:53:05As the Baron of Stanford,
00:53:06my father is very close
00:53:08to the Duke.
00:53:09It's likely he was the one
00:53:10to recommend John
00:53:11in the first place.
00:53:12Of course,
00:53:14the Duke would love
00:53:15to meet you.
00:53:15I cannot believe it.
00:53:17A noble title.
00:53:18Lady Adela,
00:53:19you are simply
00:53:20full of surprises.
00:53:21You are the best match
00:53:23for John,
00:53:23no doubt about it.
00:53:25What do you mean
00:53:26to ask, Adela?
00:53:28Why would someone
00:53:28like the Duke
00:53:29come to Stanford
00:53:30in the first place?
00:53:31Well, Stanford
00:53:32is his hometown.
00:53:33The King dispatched him
00:53:35here to oversee
00:53:36the building
00:53:36of a new fort.
00:53:38The real reason
00:53:39is his parents.
00:53:40He was separated
00:53:41from them
00:53:41when he was a child.
00:53:43Even this banquet,
00:53:44I hear,
00:53:44is all for them.
00:53:46Must be good,
00:53:47noble people
00:53:48to rear such a fine man
00:53:50like the Duke.
00:53:51We must
00:53:51make a good impression.
00:53:56How did those peasants
00:54:14get in?
00:54:20This banquet,
00:54:22I've arranged it
00:54:23all for you.
00:54:24I'll introduce you
00:54:25to everyone shortly.
00:54:27Arthur,
00:54:28don't just,
00:54:29what do you mean
00:54:30for us?
00:54:31Mother,
00:54:33I'm serious.
00:54:34This is all for you.
00:54:36But,
00:54:37how could you
00:54:38have arranged all this?
00:54:39How much money
00:54:40did you spend?
00:54:41Money has nothing
00:54:42to do with it,
00:54:43Father.
00:54:44I just want
00:54:44to see you happy.
00:54:45We are happy.
00:54:47Truly happy.
00:54:49We're finally
00:54:49all together again.
00:54:55John,
00:54:56I thought you told them
00:54:57to get lost.
00:54:57Why are they back?
00:55:03John,
00:55:03I thought you told them
00:55:04to get lost.
00:55:05Why are they back?
00:55:06Damn lowlives.
00:55:08They must have
00:55:09tailed us in.
00:55:10I knew those ill-bred
00:55:12dogs would go away
00:55:13that easily.
00:55:15Scoundrels,
00:55:15all.
00:55:16Mrs. Moore,
00:55:18rest easy.
00:55:19This banquet
00:55:20is held
00:55:21on the Duke's orders
00:55:22and Father
00:55:23asked me to see
00:55:24that our guests
00:55:24enjoy themselves.
00:55:26I have every authority
00:55:28to throw them out.
00:55:32Come.
00:55:33who let you in?
00:55:47Who let you in?
00:55:49You must be lost,
00:55:50peasant.
00:55:51This is the Duke's banquet,
00:55:53not the gruel kitchen.
00:55:55I suggest you turn
00:55:56around immediately.
00:55:57And I suggest you
00:55:58shut your mouth.
00:55:58This is my manor.
00:56:02My father is hosting it
00:56:03under direct orders
00:56:05of the Duke.
00:56:06You have no place
00:56:07to speak here.
00:56:09And you?
00:56:11You must be the bitch
00:56:12that John was engaged to.
00:56:14I'll have you know
00:56:16John is going to be
00:56:17a noble.
00:56:19You'll have no way
00:56:20into his home.
00:56:21Unless you'd like
00:56:22to be our maid
00:56:23once we marry.
00:56:26Lowborn as I may be,
00:56:27I'm still more noble
00:56:28than a harlot like you.
00:56:30You wench.
00:56:32I will not let you
00:56:32talk to Lady Adela
00:56:33like this.
00:56:35Apologize right now.
00:56:37I owe her nothing
00:56:37of the sort.
00:56:38She is the one
00:56:39who's courting
00:56:40an engaged man.
00:56:41I told your parents
00:56:43and your disgusting
00:56:45beggar of a brother
00:56:46I called off
00:56:47the engagement.
00:56:49You're not good enough
00:56:50for me.
00:56:51You're wrong.
00:56:52It's you who isn't
00:56:53good enough for me.
00:56:54I would never marry
00:56:55a man with such
00:56:56a fickle heart
00:56:57who would abandon
00:56:58his fiancée
00:56:59just to chase
00:57:00after some harlot's coin.
00:57:05You dirty bitch.
00:57:07That's what you get
00:57:07for talking to my son
00:57:09like that.
00:57:13How dare you
00:57:14raise your hands
00:57:15to my daughter?
00:57:16How dare she
00:57:17insult my son?
00:57:18You're right, mother.
00:57:20We ought to slap
00:57:20some sense into them.
00:57:22Anna,
00:57:22look at yourself.
00:57:24You're nothing
00:57:25compared to Lady Adela.
00:57:27It's no wonder
00:57:27I chose her.
00:57:29Lady Adela
00:57:30is Lord Benjamin's
00:57:31daughter.
00:57:33What do you have
00:57:35that Lady Adela
00:57:35doesn't?
00:57:37Besides this useless
00:57:38beggar
00:57:39of a brother.
00:57:41Do not insult
00:57:42my brother.
00:57:43He is more noble
00:57:44than any of you.
00:57:44All this dirty work
00:57:54must have done you in.
00:57:56A beggar
00:57:57like him.
00:57:58You lowly peasants.
00:58:00None of you
00:58:01deserve to talk to us.
00:58:03Get out
00:58:03or we'll throw you
00:58:05out with force.
00:58:07Get out
00:58:08or we'll throw you
00:58:09out with force.
00:58:10It is you
00:58:11who ought to be
00:58:11thrown out.
00:58:12What a pretty
00:58:19money-sucking
00:58:21leech.
00:58:23I would tell her.
00:58:25I'm disgusted
00:58:26by the implication.
00:58:29Despite her
00:58:29features,
00:58:31a maid
00:58:31that cleans
00:58:32chamber parts
00:58:33all day
00:58:33is more fit
00:58:34to marry
00:58:34a stable boy.
00:58:35Say that again
00:58:36and I'll make you pay.
00:58:38Oh no.
00:58:40What are you
00:58:41going to do?
00:58:41Hit me?
00:58:44Well come on then.
00:58:46Have at it.
00:58:50Well,
00:58:50I do say
00:58:52I think this was
00:58:53the first time
00:58:53I heard someone
00:58:54ask for it.
00:58:55But,
00:58:56I think we all
00:58:57heard him
00:58:57clearly enough.
00:59:00You feel it!
00:59:01You actually-
00:59:02You asked for it.
00:59:04I obliged.
00:59:05Lord Benjamin,
00:59:11the Duke has arrived.
00:59:12He's here already.
00:59:14We have to go.
00:59:16You asked for it.
00:59:17I am to be
00:59:18a noble
00:59:19and you will not
00:59:20offend me again.
00:59:21Why should I care?
00:59:23I'm sure Lord Benjamin
00:59:23would understand.
00:59:25Do not speak
00:59:26my father's name.
00:59:27You're dead.
00:59:28My father will see to it
00:59:29when he arrives.
00:59:30On your knees.
00:59:32And I demand
00:59:33you apologize
00:59:33to John now.
00:59:35And your filthy parents too.
00:59:37Down!
00:59:38Who do you think
00:59:38you are barking orders at me?
00:59:40Don't think you're
00:59:40so high and mighty
00:59:41just because
00:59:42you followed us in.
00:59:43You've no right
00:59:44to speak to my son
00:59:45or Lady Adela like this.
00:59:47Don't you know
00:59:48how much I suffered
00:59:49being betrothed
00:59:50to your dirty whore
00:59:51of his sister
00:59:52I will not
00:59:53let you embarrass me again.
00:59:58We've been gracious enough
00:59:59letting the matter go
01:00:00yet you shameless rats
01:00:02won't stop bothering us.
01:00:04Away!
01:00:05Off with you!
01:00:06Oh Mrs. Moore
01:00:07I have a much
01:00:08better idea.
01:00:09Let's add a few tears
01:00:11to their teary reunion.
01:00:13Guards!
01:00:17Execute him!
01:00:18No!
01:00:19I want to watch
01:00:20as they lose
01:00:20their precious son
01:00:21again.
01:00:24Oh Lady Adela
01:00:25I think if that's the case
01:00:26we ought to keep him alive.
01:00:28He's already
01:00:29a useless beggar.
01:00:30We ought to break his legs
01:00:32and keep him that way.
01:00:33Lisa!
01:00:34Lady Moore!
01:00:35Please!
01:00:36I apologize.
01:00:38I'll have Arthur repent
01:00:39right away!
01:00:40Yes please
01:00:41pardon us
01:00:42but Arthur
01:00:42please
01:00:43I beg of you
01:00:44apologize.
01:00:45Please!
01:00:46You've enough wit
01:00:47to be scared
01:00:48but it's too late.
01:00:49it's not my fault
01:00:51you've been grating
01:00:51on my nerves.
01:00:53I've nothing left
01:00:54for pity.
01:00:55Seems like you have
01:00:55quite a loud bark
01:00:56with no bite now.
01:00:59What did you just
01:01:01say to me?
01:01:03Mother.
01:01:04Father.
01:01:05I already told you
01:01:05this banquet is for you
01:01:07in honor of us
01:01:08all being together again.
01:01:10You have every right
01:01:11to enjoy yourself.
01:01:12And my sister
01:01:13was correct.
01:01:14You ought to apologize
01:01:15for your poor behavior
01:01:16in honor to have you
01:01:17thrown out.
01:01:18Soon
01:01:18you'll be kneeling
01:01:20before us
01:01:20begging for the forgiveness
01:01:21we have every right
01:01:22to withhold.
01:01:23A pity
01:01:24to have a son
01:01:25like him.
01:01:27Imagine spending
01:01:28ten years
01:01:28to find your son
01:01:29just to have him
01:01:30turn out like this.
01:01:31The real pity
01:01:32is what will be
01:01:32happening to you soon.
01:01:34I think I'll be
01:01:35quite happy
01:01:35in the future.
01:01:36Oh yes.
01:01:39Happy.
01:01:40Very happy I imagine
01:01:41with your legs
01:01:42mangled
01:01:42crawling on the ground.
01:01:45Oh.
01:01:46And your poor parents.
01:01:47I'm sure they'll be
01:01:48very joyous
01:01:49over such a sight.
01:01:51Seize them!
01:01:52No.
01:01:52No.
01:01:53Please no.
01:01:54Presenting
01:01:55the honorable
01:01:56Lord Benjamin
01:01:57Baron of Stamford.
01:02:00Oh.
01:02:01You're in for it now.
01:02:03Lord Benjamin
01:02:04is the most powerful
01:02:05man in Stamford.
01:02:07And he's backed
01:02:07by the Duke
01:02:08whose authority
01:02:09is second only
01:02:10to the king.
01:02:11You poor,
01:02:12poor souls.
01:02:13We'll see what
01:02:14the Duke has to say
01:02:15when he hears
01:02:16about this.
01:02:17I reckon you'll all
01:02:17be beaten to death
01:02:18in the dungeons.
01:02:19Don't waste your breath
01:02:20madam.
01:02:21A commoner like him
01:02:22can't even fathom
01:02:23the great power
01:02:24the Duke has.
01:02:25Of course
01:02:26Lady Adela.
01:02:27It'd be an honor
01:02:27for him to lay eyes
01:02:29on the gentlemen
01:02:29before he crushes them
01:02:31like the rats
01:02:32they are.
01:02:33No.
01:02:34No.
01:02:34I can't wait.
01:02:37How unfortunate
01:02:37it had to come to this.
01:02:39Yes.
01:02:40How unfortunate
01:02:41it is
01:02:41for you.
01:02:43Lord Benjamin
01:02:44is my father
01:02:45and once I tell him
01:02:46what you've done
01:02:47to me
01:02:48and my dear John
01:02:49he'll have you
01:02:50all beheaded.
01:02:52No.
01:02:53Oh,
01:02:54how lucky it is
01:02:55is to be so
01:02:55simple-minded
01:02:56you
01:02:58half-dead
01:02:59cauders
01:02:59and you
01:03:00harlots.
01:03:02Huh.
01:03:03Any last words?
01:03:05No
01:03:06teary goodbyes?
01:03:07Or
01:03:08do you wish
01:03:09to die with him?
01:03:10John,
01:03:11please.
01:03:12Arthur was just
01:03:12impulsive.
01:03:13Please put in
01:03:14a good word for him.
01:03:15Get your dirty hands
01:03:16off of me.
01:03:17You scoundrel!
01:03:18I'll do it again.
01:03:24You scoundrel!
01:03:25I'll do it again.
01:03:28John!
01:03:29My darling boy!
01:03:31How dare you!
01:03:32Touch my parents again
01:03:33and your family
01:03:34will pay.
01:03:35Let it be known
01:03:36this night was meant
01:03:37to be a joyous one
01:03:38and I did not wish
01:03:39to taint it
01:03:40with strife
01:03:40and bloodshed.
01:03:42I would have let you go
01:03:43as awful as your
01:03:44behavior was to me
01:03:45but you insulted
01:03:46my virtuous sister
01:03:47and raised your hand
01:03:48to my saintly
01:03:49mother and father.
01:03:51Your actions
01:03:51beg for punishment
01:03:52and I am happy
01:03:53to see to it.
01:03:56Let it be known
01:03:57I plan to exile
01:03:58the Moore family
01:03:59from the good town
01:04:00of Stamford.
01:04:05Oh, you've gone mad.
01:04:06Truly mad.
01:04:08Lady Adela,
01:04:09have your men
01:04:10restrain him
01:04:10for the safety
01:04:11of your guests
01:04:12and have him
01:04:13flogged in the dungeon.
01:04:17What's this again
01:04:18about the dungeons?
01:04:22Lord Benjamin,
01:04:23you're finally come.
01:04:24My lord,
01:04:25we've been troubled
01:04:26so by these lowly peasants.
01:04:28Father, it's them.
01:04:29I say we take them
01:04:30to the dungeons.
01:04:36This is the Duke's banquet,
01:04:38Adela.
01:04:39I will not tolerate
01:04:40your antics.
01:04:41Pardon me, father.
01:04:43It seems I've been lax
01:04:44for these lowly,
01:04:45dirty servants
01:04:46have snuck in.
01:04:48Lowly, dirty servants?
01:04:53Yes, father.
01:04:54The mister and missus
01:04:55are servants
01:04:56and so is the daughter.
01:04:58And he's a beggar.
01:05:00A vile, disgusting man.
01:05:02Perhaps we could send him
01:05:03away with some scraps
01:05:04from the kitchens.
01:05:06I dare say be better
01:05:06than anything
01:05:07they've ever tasted.
01:05:08Oh, father,
01:05:09please allow me to see it.
01:05:10I'll have their bones broken
01:05:12and left out for the dogs
01:05:13for disturbing
01:05:14the Duke's banquet.
01:05:17Silence!
01:05:18But Lord Benjamin,
01:05:19why?
01:05:21Duke of Mercia,
01:05:23Arthur.
01:05:24Your grace,
01:05:26at your service.
01:05:28Hail to his grace,
01:05:29the Duke, Arthur.
01:05:30Lord Benjamin,
01:05:54I was promised
01:05:55a warm welcome.
01:05:56What is all of this?
01:05:58I'll see to it,
01:05:59your grace.
01:05:59my boy.
01:06:01What do the parents say?
01:06:03Is it Duke Arthur
01:06:04that he just called you?
01:06:06What?
01:06:07Sir.
01:06:09Madam.
01:06:10Please.
01:06:12Benjamin.
01:06:14At your service.
01:06:15I don't understand.
01:06:17Are you really?
01:06:18Yes, father.
01:06:20What?
01:06:21I'm the Duke.
01:06:23My boy.
01:06:25The Duke.
01:06:26That's my son.
01:06:28That's my son.
01:06:29He's a Duke.
01:06:31What did I say?
01:06:32My brother is more noble
01:06:33than anyone.
01:06:36Lord Benjamin,
01:06:37are you certain
01:06:37he's the Duke?
01:06:40Father,
01:06:41you said the Duke
01:06:43was a great man.
01:06:44You must be mistaken.
01:06:45You stupid girl.
01:06:48How could I be wrong?
01:06:51And you,
01:06:52you ought to be ashamed.
01:06:54How dare you do this
01:06:55to his grace,
01:06:56Duke Arthur?
01:06:57No,
01:06:58it can't be.
01:07:00Father,
01:07:00tell me it's a joke.
01:07:01It simply can't be.
01:07:03Get on your knees,
01:07:04girl,
01:07:04and maybe he'll forgive you.
01:07:08No.
01:07:09You said that the Duke
01:07:11was going to give John
01:07:11a title.
01:07:12Why would John
01:07:13call off the engagement
01:07:13to his sister?
01:07:16Ah!
01:07:17Maybe this will get
01:07:18through your thick skull.
01:07:20He is the Duke,
01:07:21the one and only.
01:07:24Guards,
01:07:24take her away
01:07:25until she's learned
01:07:26her lesson.
01:07:31Guards,
01:07:32take her away
01:07:32until she's learned
01:07:33her lesson.
01:07:35No!
01:07:36Father,
01:07:37no,
01:07:37it can't be.
01:07:38It can't be the Duke.
01:07:39It can't be the Duke.
01:07:40Your Grace,
01:07:44I must apologize.
01:07:46That's enough.
01:07:47Your family
01:07:48has played your hand
01:07:49for it.
01:07:50Duke Arthur,
01:07:50sir.
01:07:52Why,
01:07:52certainly.
01:07:54My son is still
01:07:55engaged to the
01:07:55Wellesley's daughter.
01:07:56Our connection
01:07:57is nothing to
01:07:58stop at.
01:07:59Mother,
01:08:00my brother-in-law,
01:08:01a Duke,
01:08:02will be even richer.
01:08:03My brother-in-law,
01:08:08a Duke,
01:08:09will be even richer.
01:08:10Will be set for life.
01:08:12Oh,
01:08:13married to the
01:08:14sister of the Duke.
01:08:15Oh, goodness.
01:08:16That must be why
01:08:17you want to give me
01:08:18a noble title.
01:08:19So I can marry Anna.
01:08:21Anna,
01:08:22can you believe it?
01:08:23Your brother,
01:08:24a Duke.
01:08:25What does that
01:08:26have to do with you?
01:08:27It has everything
01:08:27to do with me,
01:08:28darling.
01:08:29You're my fiancé,
01:08:30remember?
01:08:32Don't forget about me
01:08:32just because your
01:08:33brother's a Duke now.
01:08:34You are truly
01:08:35shameless,
01:08:36John.
01:08:37Don't be like that,
01:08:38my dear,
01:08:38darling fiancé.
01:08:39Fiancé,
01:08:41have you forgotten
01:08:41what you just
01:08:42called me?
01:08:43A dirty
01:08:44whore?
01:08:45Only fit to
01:08:46wait as table boy.
01:08:47Isn't that right?
01:08:48Oh, Anna,
01:08:49forgive him,
01:08:50would you?
01:08:51A pettiness
01:08:52that doesn't suit
01:08:53a pretty face
01:08:54like yours.
01:08:55Women like us,
01:08:56we ought to understand
01:08:57our husband's temperaments.
01:09:00My sister,
01:09:02petty,
01:09:02that's rich
01:09:03coming from you.
01:09:05Oh,
01:09:05Duke Arthur,
01:09:06my brother,
01:09:08I must apologize
01:09:08for what I said.
01:09:10I'll apologize
01:09:11to Anna.
01:09:11There is no need.
01:09:13I have no wish
01:09:14to hear anything
01:09:14further from you.
01:09:16The woman
01:09:16has spoken,
01:09:17John.
01:09:18It seems my sister
01:09:19disdains
01:09:20your vile habits.
01:09:21Anna,
01:09:22this is all my fault.
01:09:24We grew up together,
01:09:25didn't we?
01:09:26I loved you.
01:09:28I did.
01:09:29This has all been
01:09:29a big misunderstanding,
01:09:30of course.
01:09:31I'm sure you can
01:09:32forgive me.
01:09:33Please,
01:09:34give me another chance.
01:09:36Yes, dear,
01:09:37just a misunderstanding.
01:09:39Let's put it
01:09:40all behind us now,
01:09:42shall we?
01:09:43Yeah.
01:09:43Forgive you!
01:09:46I don't think I will.
01:09:48It would be a sin
01:09:49to forget what you've
01:09:50done to my mother
01:09:50and father.
01:09:51My brother's title
01:09:52has nothing to do with you.
01:09:54I wish for you
01:09:55to be gone
01:09:56and never come back.
01:09:58Anna,
01:09:59forgive me.
01:10:04You're better than this.
01:10:07Please,
01:10:08forgive me.
01:10:09You're better than this.
01:10:13Leave my sister alone,
01:10:15scum.
01:10:15Your apology means nothing.
01:10:17Please,
01:10:18your grace,
01:10:19Duke Arthur.
01:10:20It's all my fault.
01:10:22I've wronged you.
01:10:23I admit it.
01:10:24I beg your pardon.
01:10:26Mr. Wesley,
01:10:27madame,
01:10:28please ask Arthur
01:10:30to show us mercy.
01:10:31I was betrothed to Anna.
01:10:34I've shown her
01:10:35much kindness.
01:10:36Mother,
01:10:37please ask him
01:10:38to forgive me.
01:10:39I cannot live
01:10:40without Anna.
01:10:42Jane,
01:10:43please.
01:10:44I even got you
01:10:45the job
01:10:45at the Baron's Manor.
01:10:46Are you going
01:10:47to be so cruel
01:10:48as to forget
01:10:48everything I've done
01:10:49for you
01:10:50that John's done
01:10:51for you?
01:10:52A bit of compassion
01:10:53for an old friend?
01:10:56Yes,
01:10:56Mr. Wesley,
01:10:57please.
01:10:58I'll do anything
01:10:59for her.
01:11:00I'll give her
01:11:00whatever she wants.
01:11:02If you just
01:11:02please forgive
01:11:03my one transgression.
01:11:06How dare you
01:11:07ask for compassion?
01:11:12How dare you
01:11:13ask for compassion?
01:11:15Have you shown
01:11:15any compassion
01:11:16to my father,
01:11:17to my mother?
01:11:18those ten long years
01:11:20I was gone?
01:11:21Did you help
01:11:22them at all?
01:11:23Did you give them
01:11:23any aid?
01:11:25You speak of them
01:11:25as an old friend,
01:11:27as if they have
01:11:27ever forsaken you.
01:11:29But you,
01:11:31had I not been
01:11:31announced as the Duke,
01:11:32you would have
01:11:33kicked them to the ground
01:11:34and spit on their bodies.
01:11:36You called off
01:11:37my sister's engagement
01:11:37for the first noble lady
01:11:39you saw.
01:11:40You do not deserve
01:11:41my mercy.
01:11:42Duke,
01:11:43Arthur,
01:11:45I...
01:11:45Silence!
01:11:46I've seen you
01:11:46at your worst.
01:11:48I've seen how
01:11:49you treated me.
01:11:50My father,
01:11:51my mother,
01:11:52Anna.
01:11:53You are a shameless,
01:11:55filthy villain.
01:11:57Be gone!
01:11:58Lord Benjamin.
01:12:01Yes, sir.
01:12:02Have the Moors
01:12:03removed from the manor.
01:12:09Lord Benjamin.
01:12:10Yes, sir.
01:12:11Have the Moors
01:12:12removed from the manor
01:12:13and forbid anyone
01:12:15from doing business
01:12:16with them
01:12:16in the town of Stanford.
01:12:18Yes, sir.
01:12:23Much better.
01:12:26Father,
01:12:27mother,
01:12:28Anna,
01:12:30let us enjoy
01:12:32this banquet in peace.
01:12:33Arthur,
01:12:34this banquet
01:12:36is lovely.
01:12:39But nothing
01:12:40is better
01:12:41than us
01:12:42being reunited
01:12:43as a family.
01:12:45And together
01:12:45we'll be
01:12:46forever.
01:12:47Forever.
01:13:08You
