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

00:00:04My son Arthur is taken by the Baron to the war.

00:00:07We must find him.

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

00:00:12I've returned to find my family.

00:00:13The Duke is coming.

00:00:14This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.

00:00:19Your son is not coming back.

00:00:23Because he's dead.

00:00:25It's your own fault you lost your son.

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

00:00:30He didn't recognize the necklace.

00:00:32Your land has been seen.

00:00:33What?

00:00:34No, this is our family home.

00:00:36Sign it, now.

00:00:37No.

00:00:38Stop it.

00:00:41Your son was taken, you say?

00:00:43Could this be me?

00:00:44My memories are faint, cladded by the injury I sustained during the war.

00:00:48Say goodbye to your son.

00:00:50That woman.

00:00:51Possibly the Duke is my Arthur.

00:00:57Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Mercia is at war.

00:01:04Every man must stand and fight.

00:01:08No.

00:01:09No.

00:01:10No.

00:01:11Please.

00:01:12Please.

00:01:13I don't want to go to war.

00:01:15Spare me!

00:01:18I'm scared, Arthur.

00:01:20Will they take you and Papa away, too?

00:01:23No, they won't.

00:01:26Okay?

00:01:27I got something for both of you.

00:01:31I had these blessed by the church today.

00:01:34This one is for you, Arthur.

00:01:39And this one, Anna, is for you.

00:01:42May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:01:49Thank you, Mom.

00:01:52I love you.

00:01:55Mama?

00:01:56Yes?

00:01:57My belly hurts.

00:01:58I think I need to go potty.

00:02:01I see.

00:02:03Yes, I...

00:02:04Wait, Mama.

00:02:05It's Papa's birthday today.

00:02:07I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef.

00:02:13Just a little bit.

00:02:14I'm sorry, but we can't afford beef.

00:02:25Maybe we could have a chicken.

00:02:27Your favorite chicken pie.

00:02:29Huzzah!

00:02:30Thank you, Mom.

00:02:31I love you.

00:02:33I love you.

00:02:34Bye!

00:02:38Bye!

00:02:39Bye!

00:02:44Every man must stand and fight.

00:02:59Take him.

00:03:01Stop!

00:03:02No, I'm only 13!

00:03:03Let me go!

00:03:04Mama!

00:03:05Mama!

00:03:05Martha!

00:03:10Arthur!

00:03:13Arthur should be here by now.

00:03:16Where is he?

00:03:19Arthur!

00:03:31Mama!

00:03:32Mama!

00:03:35Wait.

00:03:48What?

00:03:49Look.

00:03:51What?

00:03:52Have you seen my son?

00:03:54Have you seen Arthur?

00:03:56The baronsmen took him.

00:03:58What?

00:03:58They're marching him to the border.

00:04:00They're sending him to war.

00:04:01No.

00:04:02No.

00:04:03No.

00:04:04No.

00:04:04He's...

00:04:08Ugh.

00:04:09Ugh.

00:04:10Ugh.

00:04:11Ugh.

00:04:12Ugh.

00:04:13Ugh.

00:04:16Ugh.

00:04:16Kate!

00:04:17Ugh!

00:04:17You're hurt!

00:04:19Girl!

00:04:20They took him.

00:04:22Wait.

00:04:22We have to get him.

00:04:23He's only 13.

00:04:24He wants to arrive on the battlefield.

00:04:27We...

00:04:27Let's go.

00:04:28He...

00:04:29No?

00:04:30You seen a boy?

00:04:31You seen Arthur?

00:04:31You saw a son?

00:04:32Right here with...

00:04:33With...

00:04:33With soldier people.

00:04:35Hey.

00:04:36Are you soldiers of the baron?

00:04:37Have you seen a boy?

00:04:38A strong lad.

00:04:39Brown hair.

00:04:40About this tall?

00:04:41The boy we took from the market, is it?

00:04:43Yes.

00:04:44Yes.

00:04:45Yes, that's him.

00:04:46Where is he?

00:04:47Your boy is either dead or going to be soon.

00:04:49He can't be.

00:04:50You're lying.

00:04:51Away with you, woman.

00:04:52Give me back my son.

00:04:53The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old.

00:04:57Arthur's 13.

00:04:59Please!

00:05:04If you didn't want him gone, you should have kept him at home.

00:05:07You have no one to blame but yourself.

00:05:10It's all my fault I killed him.

00:05:13I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself.

00:05:15It's...

00:05:16Shut up, wench!

00:05:17Or I'll make you join him real soon!

00:05:22Comet, now.

00:05:23Foolish as they are.

00:05:24We can't just kill as we wish.

00:05:26Comet boy from filth like you?

00:05:30He was doomed from the moment he met us!

00:05:37He's right.

00:05:39I saw my fault he shouldn't have let him alone.

00:05:42You mustn't do this to yourself.

00:05:44We will bring our boy home.

00:05:47Arthur.

00:05:51Where are you?

00:05:52What are you?

00:05:52I'm sorry.

00:05:53I'll keep it alone.

00:05:57Ah!

00:05:58Ah!

00:05:59Ah!

00:06:00Ah!

00:06:03Ah!

00:06:05Ah!

00:06:07Ah!

00:06:08Ah!

00:06:11Ah!

00:06:15Ah!

00:06:16Ah!

00:06:17Ah!

00:06:18Ah!

00:06:19I have a feeling I know why you're here.

00:06:30Your Majesty, nothing escapes you.

00:06:34Nothing does escape me, which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford.

00:06:39You'll oversee the building of a new fort to strengthen our borders.

00:06:44The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.

00:06:48But your Majesty, my duty as a duke is to protect.

00:06:50Go, go.

00:06:53Go, my boy.

00:06:56You've fought enough battles for me and did a great service to the kingdom of Mercia.

00:07:03This is why I gave you the title of Duke.

00:07:08Go back to Stamford.

00:07:10Find your family.

00:07:12They would be so proud to see the man you've become.

00:07:16And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?

00:07:22I won't let you down, sir.

00:07:30I miss you.

00:07:31Oh, Robert, my sweet nephew, you're all my wages.

00:07:40I'm depending on you.

00:07:42You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin.

00:07:46I beg of you.

00:07:49Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive.

00:07:52I'll look into it, but not today.

00:07:55The Duke is coming to Stamford.

00:07:57Everything has to be perfect.

00:07:59The Duke is coming.

00:08:02Robert, maybe you can ask the Duke to help me find my son.

00:08:06I'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.

00:08:12Maybe he knows my Arthur.

00:08:14Have you lost your wits?

00:08:17Ask the Duke for help.

00:08:18Who do you think you are?

00:08:20Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the Duke for such trifles.

00:08:25Robert, please, just have him take a look.

00:08:27It's your own fault you lost your son.

00:08:42Don't blame other people for your own negligence.

00:08:44It is my fault.

00:08:45I should have never let him out of my sight.

00:08:47I regret it every single day.

00:08:50But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages, you would help me find my son.

00:08:55I told you, not today.

00:08:59The Duke could be here any second.

00:09:02Get lost before he sees your ugly face.

00:09:08The Duke is here.

00:09:10Go.

00:09:10Get.

00:09:21That's the Duke.

00:09:23He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.

00:09:25A king treats me like a son.

00:09:28A king treats me like a son.

00:09:55Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.

00:10:14Welcome, your grace.

00:10:16Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.

00:10:19We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?

00:10:22Your grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.

00:10:26I beg for your forgiveness.

00:10:28It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.

00:10:31You are too kind, your grace.

00:10:33I've returned to find my family.

00:10:35Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.

00:10:38I shall have them brought here at once.

00:10:40My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.

00:10:43But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.

00:10:52May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:10:58Could this be me?

00:11:09Find who this belongs to.

00:11:10I will see to this personally.

00:11:15Mom, where are you?

00:11:18The Duke of Mercia has come to the baron's manor.

00:11:25The king must hold him in high regard.

00:11:28They say he's looking for his family.

00:11:30Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?

00:11:33Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family,

00:11:38then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my author.

00:11:45Don't be stupid.

00:11:47This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.

00:11:51How could a man like that be your son?

00:11:54Your son probably died on the battlefield.

00:11:57Stop being delusional.

00:12:01No.

00:12:03I must see the Duke.

00:12:05Have you lost your mind?

00:12:17I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.

00:12:27Did someone call my name just now?

00:12:40Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.

00:12:43No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.

00:12:46What were you thinking?

00:12:52Your actions will bring my family down with you.

00:12:56Robert just became butler.

00:12:58I won't have you ruining things for him.

00:13:01I swear that was my son.

00:13:03That was Arthur.

00:13:04You have truly gone mad.

00:13:07That was the Duke.

00:13:08The second most important man in the entire kingdom.

00:13:12How could a man of such standing be your son?

00:13:17He looked just like him.

00:13:19I swear that...

00:13:20Do you mean to get us all hung?

00:13:26Calling the Duke your son?

00:13:28What an insult to that fine gentleman.

00:13:31Please.

00:13:32Just let me speak to him.

00:13:34Let me show him this.

00:13:47Robert!

00:13:48Robert, don't.

00:13:52Not while the Duke is here.

00:13:54Robert!

00:13:56What are you doing to my mother?

00:13:58Anna.

00:14:00Give me that back.

00:14:02I needed to find Arthur.

00:14:03Worthless piece of junk.

00:14:05Robert, we're family.

00:14:07We're supposed to help each other.

00:14:10But you're fun.

00:14:11Family?

00:14:12It's bad enough that we share the same blood.

00:14:16My son has risen up through the ranks.

00:14:19While yours only grows poorer and poorer.

00:14:23It's pathetic, really.

00:14:25I know, but I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.

00:14:30And you...

00:14:31You never even planned to find Arthur.

00:14:36You never even thought to look for him.

00:14:38You...

00:14:39You liar.

00:14:40You cheat.

00:14:41Give me back my coin.

00:14:43Don't touch me with your filthy hands.

00:14:46In this,

00:14:48say goodbye to your son.

00:14:54No!

00:14:54Mother, no!

00:14:58Mother, no!

00:15:03Mother, no!

00:15:05No!

00:15:08Come, Mother.

00:15:09Let's go.

00:15:12Oh, Anna, what have I done?

00:15:14We'll never be able to find Arthur.

00:15:16Arthur, not with this.

00:15:17It's all right.

00:15:17It's all right, Mother.

00:15:18Have you forgotten?

00:15:19I carry one, too.

00:15:20Oh, God.

00:15:24Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,

00:15:27I'll see what I can do.

00:15:39Arthur, my brother,

00:15:41could it really be you?

00:15:47Your grace,

00:15:49my Lord,

00:15:50forgive me, your grace.

00:16:12Useless girl.

00:16:15Your grace,

00:16:16are you all right?

00:16:17I'm fine, Lord, Benjamin.

00:16:18No need to punish her for a simple mistake.

00:16:22Your kindness humbles us all.

00:16:25Well,

00:16:26don't just sit there.

00:16:28Clean yourself up.

00:16:32Why does she seem so familiar?

00:16:34It seems that I have someone

00:16:37the Duke might want.

00:16:39How could Robert do this to you?

00:16:43How could Robert do this to you?

00:16:45He beat you.

00:16:48You're his aunt for crying out loud.

00:16:50Oh, Carl.

00:16:52You know your family has always been cruel to us.

00:16:55It's only going to get worse

00:16:57now that Robert is

00:16:59butler to the baron.

00:17:02Mother?

00:17:03Father?

00:17:04This place is so familiar to me

00:17:08and it's strategic.

00:17:12I'll build a new fort here.

00:17:14See to it that all the families

00:17:15along this road

00:17:16are asked to leave

00:17:17and compensate them well.

00:17:19I will start the process right away.

00:17:28Father?

00:17:29What did the Duke say?

00:17:31Did he?

00:17:35Mother.

00:17:36What?

00:17:37I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.

00:17:40No.

00:17:41He does.

00:17:42He does resemble him, yes,

00:17:44but he didn't recognize the necklace.

00:17:47No.

00:17:50I'm so sorry.

00:17:52I thought it was him.

00:17:54I wanted to come back

00:17:55and give you the necklace.

00:17:57I know at least you'll sleep easier

00:17:59knowing this is by your side.

00:18:11Oh, your grace.

00:18:13I dare say

00:18:14you look as handsome as ever.

00:18:16These clothes are much more comfortable.

00:18:24Leave me.

00:18:25I wish to explore the city by myself.

00:18:27See if anything can jog my memory.

00:18:29Yes, your grace.

00:18:39Oh, it must be Anna.

00:18:40She must have forgot something.

00:18:43Anna?

00:18:46Yeah.

00:18:50Ah.

00:18:52What are you all doing here?

00:18:54Especially after what you did to my wife.

00:18:56Long time no see, brother.

00:18:57You're still living in this hovel, huh?

00:19:00Would you like some bread?

00:19:02We were just about to sit down for lunch,

00:19:05so I can offer you a fresh loaf.

00:19:07You call this food?

00:19:09The Baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.

00:19:17The fortune favors the undeserving.

00:19:20Now you'll be able to buy some real food.

00:19:24What do you mean, Laura?

00:19:26Tell them, Robert.

00:19:31Ah!

00:19:32It really is a shack, but luckily it'll be gone soon.

00:19:40Your land has been seized.

00:19:42This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.

00:19:45No.

00:19:45To bolster our defenses.

00:19:48The order came directly from the Duke himself.

00:19:50No.

00:19:51But you will be well compensated for the trouble.

00:19:55What?

00:19:56Just sign here and you'll receive 20 gold pieces.

00:20:01As your brother, I should be entitled to half.

00:20:04But as you have no son, and I have a son,

00:20:08I ought to take two thirds.

00:20:09What?

00:20:10No, this is our family home.

00:20:12What?

00:20:12No.

00:20:13If Arthur returns, how will he find his way home?

00:20:16She's right.

00:20:17We won't give up our land, not for 20 gold coins, not for nothing.

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

00:20:22Let me remind you, your son is not coming back because he's dead.

00:20:29No.

00:20:30No, no, no.

00:20:31You hold your tongue.

00:20:32Arthur will return.

00:20:33And we will remain here until he does.

00:20:35We won't give up hope, not for any penny coin.

00:20:38You don't get a say.

00:20:40The order comes from above.

00:20:41Enough of this insolence.

00:20:43Leave my house at once.

00:20:44Leave my house.

00:20:45Carl.

00:20:47Carl, you're right.

00:20:52We are family.

00:20:55We are supposed to support each other, and if you can't do that, then leave.

00:20:58Then you've chosen death.

00:21:00So be it.

00:21:04This place really does feel so familiar.

00:21:11What?

00:21:13What are you doing?

00:21:14Ah!

00:21:17I'll tell you this one last time.

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

00:21:23You are his brother.

00:21:24How can you do this to him?

00:21:26No man as useless as him deserves to be my brother.

00:21:29Oh!

00:21:30Ah!

00:21:31You're a monster.

00:21:33Sign it, now!

00:21:34No!

00:21:35No!

00:21:36No!

00:21:37No!

00:21:37Ah!

00:21:38Ah!

00:21:39Ah!

00:21:40Ah!

00:21:41Ah!

00:21:42Ah!

00:21:43Ah!

00:21:44Ah!

00:21:45Ah!

00:21:46Ah!

00:21:47Ah!

00:21:48Ah!

00:21:49Ah!

00:21:50Ah!

00:21:51Ah!

00:21:52Ah!

00:21:53Ah!

00:21:54Ah!

00:21:55Ah!

00:21:56Ah!

00:21:57Ah!

00:21:58Ah!

00:21:59Ah!

00:22:00Ah!

00:22:01Ah!

00:22:02an order. What's a peasant like you doing here? Cross me and I'll beat you up too. You know who

00:22:10my son works for? The Baron. We're here to seize this land off his orders. So you better stay out

00:22:15of our affairs. So you're the Baron's henchman. I told him to see that every family is compensated

00:22:21fairly. And this is how you choose to do it? Good folks, you have my word. I will make

00:22:34this matter right. Lord Benjamin requests your land to build a new fort. But we will

00:22:39provide whatever is necessary for you. Do you know the Baron? Could you plead to him

00:22:44on our behalf, please? All we ask is that we remain here. We cannot leave our home, please.

00:22:49Rest assured, you'll be well compensated if you choose to depart. No, we don't want

00:22:55coin. This is my son's home. If it's torn down, he will never find his way home. Your son

00:23:02was taken, you say? Yes. He was only 13 years old. Taken far too young, conscripted by the

00:23:09Baron's soldiers. If we leave, he'll never find his way back. Please. Please, I beg of

00:23:18you. It was pinned. Yes. It was a token, a promise that my children and I would always

00:23:28be family together. This one is for you, Arthur. What?

00:23:40Mother. Arthur. Arthur. Oh, is it you? It's me, Mom. I've come home. My boy. Ten long years,

00:24:03we searched for you. And finally, you flew back to us. I'm sorry. I've been a bad son,

00:24:13but I promise I will give you the life you deserve from here on out. Please forgive me.

00:24:18Can we stop with the theatrics? Ten years have passed, and cousin Arthur returns as a peasant.

00:24:33I'd cry too if this were my son. Laura and George, do you see? Arthur has come home.

00:24:39What's there to cheer for? A beggar for a son? Or a thief, more likely. Look at him,

00:24:45wandering around, starving and desperate. I don't care what you say, but my son has come home,

00:24:53and he is everything to me. Let's go inside, and I will make your favorite roast. And George and Laura,

00:25:00I would prefer if you left. We'd like to celebrate alone as a family.

00:25:05We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool.

00:25:09No, Robert, Shirley, you understand. You're family. We'd like to celebrate.

00:25:17This low life doesn't deserve anything.

00:25:22I'm done arguing with you at this pigsty. Don't you point your finger at me. I could do much worse.

00:25:30Or do you want me to get my fiance so you can beg for her forgiveness instead?

00:25:34Remember, remember, I'm engaged to the prestigious Lady Edith. If she finds out about this, you'll all get a good beating.

00:25:42Go away!

00:25:51This is a joyous day, and I do not wish to spend it squabbling with you, Ilk.

00:25:57Kneel before us, apologize, and be gone.

00:26:04You son of a whore. I'm the Baron's butler, the highest on his staff.

00:26:11You think I'd kneel to a common maid? You better show your respect.

00:26:22Now will you go?

00:26:23You scum! I'll have you know just how much I am worth.

00:26:28Inform Lady Edith. Ask her to come, won't you?

00:26:31Yes, Mr. Wellesley.

00:26:32Well, well, well. You fools have chosen not to take the gold, but it was the Baron's orders.

00:26:38Your hovel must come down.

00:26:41Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?

00:26:43That's Baron Stamford to you.

00:26:45On the contrary, I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.

00:26:51Are you mad?

00:26:52Who do you think you are?

00:26:54The Duke? Pulling rank like you're anything special.

00:26:59I dare say I'm special enough that even Lord Benjamin would kneel before me.

00:27:03What's that I hear about the Baron?

00:27:09Lord Benjamin, sir.

00:27:11The Duke has dismissed his guards and gone on a stroll.

00:27:14Where to?

00:27:15Around where the families are being asked to relocate, sir.

00:27:17What?

00:27:18Well, I hope he doesn't run into the Wellesleys.

00:27:21Guards, come with me.

00:27:25What's that I hear about the Baron?

00:27:33Did I just hear someone disrespecting my cousin, the Baron of Stamford?

00:27:38I tried to pay these lowlifes with gold, but they refused to leave their pigsty, and their

00:27:46son even hit me.

00:27:50You scumbag.

00:27:52How dare you lay your dirty hands on my fiancé?

00:27:55Do you know who I am?

00:27:57Why would I care who you are?

00:27:59He hit my parents, so I hit him back.

00:28:02Sounds fair to me.

00:28:03You are in the town of Stamford, my cousin's jurisdiction.

00:28:07And Robert is his head butler.

00:28:10You'll pay for what you've done.

00:28:12Bring him to the dungeons.

00:28:14No.

00:28:15I'll teach him a lesson.

00:28:16No, no, no, no, please don't.

00:28:17Please don't.

00:28:18Please don't.

00:28:20Lord Benjamin's cousin.

00:28:22Is this how he taught you to behave?

00:28:24Oh.

00:28:25I didn't expect a lowly peasant like you to know who my cousin is.

00:28:29Don't tell me he's spoken to you before.

00:28:31Of course.

00:28:32In fact, why don't you ask him who I am?

00:28:35That's enough.

00:28:36Please.

00:28:37Guards, seize him.

00:28:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:28:40Don't take her.

00:28:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:28:41Please, he just came back.

00:28:42Please don't.

00:28:44Let go of me.

00:28:45This is your last chance.

00:28:47Seize me, and you'll have to face the consequences of your crime.

00:28:50As if I'd fear anything from a runt like you.

00:28:53I could kill you right now if I wanted to.

00:28:56Kill me?

00:28:57No.

00:28:57Is that right?

00:28:58No.

00:28:59Fine.

00:28:59I'll go with you.

00:29:01But don't say I didn't warn you.

00:29:02Watch your tongue.

00:29:03But don't worry.

00:29:05Soon, you'll be too busy screaming in my dungeon to talk back.

00:29:09Please, please don't hurt him.

00:29:11No, Arthur.

00:29:12Father.

00:29:13Mother.

00:29:14Don't worry.

00:29:15I'll be back very soon.

00:29:16You think you're coming back?

00:29:18Take him away.

00:29:19Oh, don't.

00:29:20Take your hands out, my son!

00:29:23Well, well.

00:29:25I didn't expect that runt to hit me.

00:29:27Just wait.

00:29:28The two of you will join him soon.

00:29:30Let's go, Father.

00:29:32Serves you right, brother.

00:29:36Ha, ha, ha.

00:29:38I don't know.

00:29:40What happened here?

00:29:45Lord Benjamin, it was all your butler's doing.

00:29:49And your cousin, Lady Edith.

00:29:52They even took my son to the dungeon.

00:29:54Your son?

00:29:57Tall and with dark hair?

00:30:05We need to go.

00:30:06Now.

00:30:09God, Carl, what are we going to do with Arthur's gun?

00:30:11Ann, Ann is engaged to John Moore.

00:30:15The Moors can help.

00:30:16They're engaged, yes, but that was years ago.

00:30:18John Moore's a rich man now.

00:30:19He surely can't.

00:30:20We have to try, Carl, please.

00:30:23You're right.

00:30:23We have to try.

00:30:24You're right.

00:30:24We have to try.

00:30:25We have to find our son.

00:30:30What happened to that fire?

00:30:32That rage?

00:30:34Scared of the consequences now, runt?

00:30:37Consequences?

00:30:37For giving you what you deserve.

00:30:41Watch your mouth.

00:30:48Your family is done for, and you're still talking back.

00:30:53No, my lady.

00:30:54It's your family that's done for.

00:30:56I've made up my mind.

00:30:58I will not spare you.

00:31:00Me needing sparing from you.

00:31:04You've gone mad.

00:31:06It seems like you've gotten it in your head that you could do something to us.

00:31:14Let me remind you of your place.

00:31:18You insolent brat!

00:31:31What are you doing?

00:31:34Reminding you of your place.

00:31:38Stop it or I'll have you killed!

00:31:41You have me killed.

00:31:43You've got the wrong man.

00:31:45Consider it your warning, cousin.

00:32:01The gall of you!

00:32:03Threatening me and then calling yourself my cousin!

00:32:06I won't let you off easy!

00:32:08Oh!

00:32:09You want another go?

00:32:10Still trying to act tough!

00:32:11It seems like we'll need to teach you a lesson.

00:32:15Guards!

00:32:16Flog him!

00:32:19Hold it!

00:32:22You're not flogging anyone.

00:32:28Hold it!

00:32:29Oh, cousin, you don't understand.

00:32:38This lowly scum had disregarded your orders and impeded the Duke's relocation efforts and...

00:32:43And he even tried to punch me!

00:32:45Cousin Benjamin, you must see to it that he is punished.

00:32:48Stopped oinking once the Baron showed up, hmm?

00:32:52Your side of the Wellesley family is going to be dinner.

00:32:55Sir, this lowly villain is, unfortunately, my cousin.

00:33:00Just like his parents, they've no regard for your authority.

00:33:03That's right, Benjamin.

00:33:05What happened again?

00:33:06We had gone to the less fortunate Wellesley's to evict them, but he tried to stop us.

00:33:11So, Edith had him brought here to teach him a lesson, but it looks like he hasn't learned anything.

00:33:17Oh, sir, you don't know the half of it.

00:33:19He hit us and ordered us to kneel to him.

00:33:22He even said that you were lowlier than he.

00:33:26You must punish him accordingly.

00:33:28As I was saying, the consequences of your actions.

00:33:34Oh!

00:33:35You fool.

00:33:36There will be consequences, all right.

00:33:38For you!

00:33:39What for, sir?

00:33:42Have I done something wrong, sir?

00:33:44I don't...

00:33:45Cousin, you misunderstand.

00:33:47There is no misunderstanding.

00:33:52Have you lost your mind?

00:33:54Do you know who this man is?

00:33:59Do you know who this man is?

00:34:01He's nothing but a beggar, the son of peasants.

00:34:04Get out of my sight, you pathetic woman.

00:34:13Duke of Mercia, your grace.

00:34:17Pardon my tardiness.

00:34:21Duke?

00:34:22What do you mean, Duke?

00:34:24Sir, you must be mistaken.

00:34:26Rightly so.

00:34:27He's a peasant, a beggar.

00:34:30How could he be the Duke?

00:34:31Don't question me.

00:34:36No.

00:34:36No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:34:38This is possible.

00:34:39How can you say you're the Duke?

00:34:43Shut it, Wellesley.

00:34:45You have no right to speak.

00:34:47That lowlife's the Duke?

00:34:49Carl's son is the Duke?

00:34:51Oh, no.

00:34:52No.

00:34:53George, what have we done?

00:34:54Oh.

00:35:01Lord Vengeance, it seems that you've neglected your duties as baron.

00:35:08Your people have shown me nothing but disdain.

00:35:12They take from the poor, torture your innocent, pillage and kill.

00:35:16Have you no order in Stanford?

00:35:19Have them punished for their wrongdoings.

00:35:22Their wrongdoings?

00:35:23I imagine then, it was you who have allowed them to do this.

00:35:28And it is you who must be punished.

00:35:31Mercy, Your Grace.

00:35:33I want them flogged, exiled, punished to the extent of the law.

00:35:38Please, Your Grace, spare us.

00:35:41Cousin.

00:35:44It's my fault.

00:35:46See, Your Grace, I've been a fool.

00:35:50Punish me, flog me as you will.

00:35:52Let me live.

00:35:55We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.

00:35:58I don't want to die.

00:36:01Young Arthur, my son had just become a butler.

00:36:04He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.

00:36:08Please, we adore him so.

00:36:10You must kill him or exile him.

00:36:14Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's old brother.

00:36:20You're too cruel, Arthur.

00:36:23How could you do this to another, Wellesley?

00:36:29Cruelty?

00:36:30Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?

00:36:33Threatening to leave them homeless and laughing in their face when they begged you?

00:36:37Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?

00:36:40Your own brother?

00:36:41And cousin Robert, what happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?

00:36:48Did you pity your poor cousin then?

00:36:50I've seen you for what you are.

00:36:54Shameless and wretched scum.

00:36:57You are unfit to live.

00:37:01Have them dealt with.

00:37:03And think about what you've done.

00:37:04You're meant to be noble.

00:37:06Not only in your actions, but in your name.

00:37:09See that your people behave.

00:37:11Or I'll have your title removed.

00:37:12I will see to them personally.

00:37:16Oh, please.

00:37:17Oh, sir.

00:37:18Please.

00:37:20Robert deceived me.

00:37:21It's all his fault.

00:37:23Please, Duke Arthur.

00:37:24Spare me.

00:37:25I'll do anything for you.

00:37:28Egypt.

00:37:29What are you doing?

00:37:32You villain.

00:37:33If it weren't for you, I never would have gotten involved with this mess.

00:37:37I'm calling on her engagement.

00:37:38From this moment onward, I'll have nothing to do with you.

00:37:42I beg of you, O great and honorable Duke.

00:37:44Forgive me.

00:37:46Don't you want to see what I have to offer?

00:37:50Save it, my sloth.

00:37:52Lord Benjamin.

00:37:53Make sure these vermin never cross my path again.

00:37:59They make me sick.

00:38:04Guards!

00:38:05Lock them up.

00:38:07Cousin, please!

00:38:08Won't you speak to him?

00:38:10Just let me go.

00:38:11I won't ever do it again.

00:38:14No!

00:38:15No!

00:38:16Cousin!

00:38:17Please!

00:38:18Please!

00:38:19Please!

00:38:20No!

00:38:23Cousin!

00:38:24Cousin!

00:38:24In good news, Benjamin, I found my parents.

00:38:29Oh, that is wonderful, Your Grace.

00:38:32What a blessed day it is.

00:38:34I wish to host a banquet tonight, introduce my parents to upper society.

00:38:39Life has been cruel to them, and I wish for them to live happily.

00:38:44Oh, and my sister, too, Anna.

00:38:47I want to do something special for her as well.

00:38:49Did you just say Anna?

00:38:52It's in the May, Anna.

00:38:54Right.

00:38:55Anna.

00:38:55She works her, doesn't she?

00:38:58Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.

00:39:04Mr. Wellesley, Lord Benjamin says Anna is to attend to the Duke personally for the next few days.

00:39:14Did you just say Anna?

00:39:17It's in the May, Anna.

00:39:19Right.

00:39:20Anna.

00:39:21She works her, doesn't she?

00:39:22Bring me to her.

00:39:23Uh, no, Your Grace, I...

00:39:25What?

00:39:26I thought, uh, I thought that you fancied her, so I...

00:39:29What have you done?

00:39:30Bring me to her right now!

00:39:32You have fine features.

00:39:45For a scullery maid, I can see why he likes you.

00:39:51Mr. Crowley, did you need something?

00:39:54Yes, pet.

00:39:55You have been chosen.

00:40:01Take off your clothes.

00:40:03What are you going to do to me?

00:40:05Oh, don't worry.

00:40:06I have no interest in you.

00:40:08I wouldn't dare.

00:40:13Put this on.

00:40:20Perfect.

00:40:20I can see why he chose you in particular.

00:40:25Mr. Crowley, what's all this about?

00:40:27The Baron has ordered you to meet another client.

00:40:31A big man.

00:40:32You are to be his mistress.

00:40:34To satisfy his physical needs, of course.

00:40:38An honor for a common whore like you.

00:40:40No, I refuse.

00:40:42You don't have a choice.

00:40:46Baron's orders.

00:40:50Do you even know who you are serving?

00:40:52It is the Duke.

00:40:54The one you poured tea on.

00:40:56What?

00:40:56The Duke?

00:40:57Aw, dumb already, are you?

00:40:59Still think you can say no, whore?

00:41:01Please, I don't want to.

00:41:08It's a good opportunity, dammit.

00:41:11Mr. Crowley, I'm betrothed.

00:41:14I don't want to be another man's mistress.

00:41:18Hadn't your father just fallen ill?

00:41:20Weren't you complaining about money?

00:41:22Don't you even want to help your family, you ingrate?

00:41:37Serve the Duke, and the money's yours.

00:41:39You'll have no short supply of expensive little trinkets.

00:41:50I would never sell my body.

00:41:54Not for a few coppers.

00:41:56Not for anything.

00:41:58I am a woman of honor.

00:42:01Honor is for people who deserve it, not a lowly whore like you.

00:42:05You don't get to stay now!

00:42:19Oh my God, please!

00:42:21Hands off!

00:42:23You don't get to stay now!

00:42:25Oh my God, please!

00:42:28Hands off!

00:42:29He didn't hurt you, did he?

00:42:33Are you the Duke, sir?

00:42:36Sir, what is the meaning of this?

00:42:39You imbecile!

00:42:41But sir, you said...

00:42:43Have you no shame acting like this in my manner?

00:42:48Sir, this bitch refused your orders.

00:42:52It is my right as house steward to teach her a lesson.

00:42:59Apologize to her.

00:43:00Or I'll have you fired.

00:43:03Apologize, sir, but she's a lowly scullery maid.

00:43:06She was out of line.

00:43:11A lowly maid?

00:43:13Mark my words, she's Duke Arthur's sister.

00:43:15She's...his sister?

00:43:22The lowly maid is...his sister?

00:43:25Are you...really my brother?

00:43:28My Arthur?

00:43:30Yes, Anna.

00:43:31I've come back to protect you...

00:43:33And mother and father.

00:43:36Arthur?

00:43:37Where have you been all these years?

00:43:39You missed you terribly.

00:43:41Here there.

00:43:44Let me deal with this man first.

00:43:46Mm.

00:43:50Once again, Lord Benjamin.

00:43:53Your men have shown their true colors.

00:43:56Disgusting and vile.

00:43:58Sir, I failed to discipline them.

00:44:01But yes.

00:44:03Sir, Duke.

00:44:05I was wrong.

00:44:07I would have never treated her like that had I known that she was your sister.

00:44:10Yet you see no issue in treating her this way if she wasn't.

00:44:17Isn't that so?

00:44:20Lowly servants?

00:44:21They're worthless in your eyes, aren't they?

00:44:23Well, Mr. Stewart, you're worthless to me.

00:44:26No.

00:44:27It was Benjamin, the Baron.

00:44:28No.

00:44:29He asked me to.

00:44:29No, I didn't.

00:44:31Gods!

00:44:32Throw him into the dungeon.

00:44:33No!

00:44:34No, please!

00:44:35No, sir!

00:44:37No!

00:44:38No!

00:44:39No!

00:44:41Anna, tell me truly.

00:44:44Are you all right?

00:44:46Yes, I am now.

00:44:48Because you're back.

00:44:49And I can't believe it.

00:44:51You're the Duke.

00:44:52Oh, let's go see mother and father.

00:44:55They'll be overjoyed.

00:44:55I just know it.

00:44:57Anna, I've already met them.

00:44:58Oh, then you must know the years have been quite hard on them.

00:45:04But it's all worth it.

00:45:06Because you're back.

00:45:07Anna, stay here.

00:45:09I'll bring them here, okay?

00:45:12Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently of the Moors.

00:45:17John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.

00:45:21Yes, John and I are engaged, but...

00:45:24He's your fiancé, Anna.

00:45:26So I'll love him like a brother.

00:45:28Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.

00:45:31I want to show our parents high society.

00:45:34And invite John Moore.

00:45:37I'll speak to the king.

00:45:38See if he can grant him a noble title.

00:45:43As you wish, Duke Arthur.

00:45:52Is that the Moors' home?

00:45:53Fine place for a merchant family, but...

00:45:56They'll be able to afford better very soon.

00:45:58Well, we're here.

00:46:03The home of our supposed son-in-law.

00:46:06Yeah.

00:46:06You tartaring fool.

00:46:16No!

00:46:17Why have you come back?

00:46:22John, this is your fiancé's father.

00:46:25You will call me Mr. Moore.

00:46:29And you are nothing to me.

00:46:31John!

00:46:31That's Mr. Moore.

00:46:34Shut up.

00:46:35I'm sorry.

00:46:37Mr. Moore.

00:46:38Please.

00:46:39Let's talk.

00:46:40And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancé?

00:46:44You've always been poor, but now you're liars, too.

00:46:47Mr. Moore, you know as well as I do.

00:46:49You've been betrothed to Anna for years.

00:46:53Your father and I, we had an arrangement.

00:46:54That may be so, but circumstances have changed.

00:46:58Do you think my father would want me marrying someone that comes from you filthy swine?

00:47:04That's not why we're here today.

00:47:06We're here because...

00:47:08Oh, I know.

00:47:09Money.

00:47:10Isn't that right?

00:47:14Alms for the poor.

00:47:16Now away with you.

00:47:18Mr. Moore, we didn't come here today for money.

00:47:21That's enough!

00:47:23Your breath reeks.

00:47:26Beat some sense into the old Kaja and take him out of here.

00:47:30I'd like to see you try.

00:47:34I'd like to see you try.

00:47:35Arthur, my boy, they set you free.

00:47:43Rightfully so, Father.

00:47:44Oh, Arthur.

00:47:45It's so good to see you alive and well.

00:47:49Father, Mother, Robert's been punished for what he did to you.

00:47:54You must be the son I keep hearing so much about.

00:47:57Weren't you kidnapped to join the army?

00:48:00Run away, did you?

00:48:02And now you've come here to leech off me?

00:48:04You're John Moore.

00:48:07Now, did I hear you say you wanted to have my father beaten?

00:48:12So what if I did?

00:48:14What's a runt like you going to do about it anyway?

00:48:18Cry?

00:48:19Piss your pants?

00:48:20Say that again.

00:48:21If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister, then you'd be wrong.

00:48:34Let go of me, you dirty dog.

00:48:41Resulting to violence now, are we?

00:48:43Like the lowlife you are.

00:48:46Come on, then.

00:48:48Hit me.

00:48:49And you regret ever being born.

00:48:51You think that can stop me?

00:48:52Who do you think you are?

00:49:03Oh, it's just a peasant.

00:49:05John, my darling, I come bearing good news.

00:49:08Father says the Duke has arranged for a banquet at the manor and you're invited.

00:49:13And the Duke is going to ask the king to grant you a title.

00:49:16Finally, you can be part of upper society and we can marry.

00:49:18A title?

00:49:19Adela, tell me it's true.

00:49:21I finally have a name to match my wealth.

00:49:25No one will be able to tell us what to do.

00:49:27No one will be able to say no to us.

00:49:31Of course, it's true, John, darling.

00:49:33The Duke adores my father.

00:49:34He's the Baron, after all.

00:49:36In fact, the Duke is at the manor right now.

00:49:38Don't waste your time with these peasants.

00:49:42Let's go, John.

00:49:43Lady Adela, I'm afraid we must deal with these peasants first.

00:49:46As dearly as they are, this is Arthur.

00:49:49Honored brother.

00:49:50And now that I'm rich, he wants to force me to marry his sister.

00:49:54What did you say?

00:49:57Oh, I see.

00:49:58You're that boy that was kidnapped as a child.

00:50:02Well, then.

00:50:03Be gone.

00:50:04We have nothing to give a shameless beggar.

00:50:08Oh, don't touch me, you disgusting man.

00:50:10Don't you know who my father is?

00:50:12Lord Benjamin, evidently.

00:50:14Don't you know?

00:50:16Even your father watches his tongue around me.

00:50:19Ah!

00:50:19Adela.

00:50:21Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.

00:50:25Have you no manners around the rich?

00:50:27You scum.

00:50:29You better beg for forgiveness if you want to live.

00:50:31And what authority do you have over me?

00:50:34And what authority do you have over me?

00:50:36Every authority, peasant scum.

00:50:39My father is the Baron of Stamford.

00:50:42And now that you're all here, let it be known.

00:50:45I am not going to marry Anna.

00:50:48I am to be a noble, so do not let me catch sight of you all again.

00:50:53Going back on your word, John?

00:50:55That's unbecoming of your future title.

00:50:57I think John has made himself clear enough.

00:51:00Get lost, you blood-sucking leech.

00:51:01Leeching off of him.

00:51:04I would never.

00:51:06His money is as vile as his word.

00:51:09No matter.

00:51:12A man like you doesn't deserve my sister anyway.

00:51:16Men, get him.

00:51:19No!

00:51:21Men, get him.

00:51:22Arthur, we will tell Anna.

00:51:29But please, we cannot anger Mr. Moore.

00:51:34He's going to be a noble now.

00:51:36At least your chambermaid of a mother knows how to act in front of men like me.

00:51:41Drop the matter and I'll let you leave.

00:51:45We'll go, but best you remember, it is the Wellesleys who called off this engagement.

00:51:55Because you, John Moore, are unfit for my sister.

00:52:03John Moore, are unfit for my sister.

00:52:06My word, unfit for you.

00:52:11Let's see, servant, servant, beggar.

00:52:15Oh, you're too funny.

00:52:17Take this as a friendly warning, John.

00:52:20Lest you regret your decision later.

00:52:22I have no mind to regret anything regarding you lot.

00:52:25Now that that's settled, if you ever speak to us again, I will have your legs cut off.

00:52:33Come now, we have a banquet to attend.

00:52:36Oh, that's the Moors for you.

00:52:46Some coin and they forget everything that we've ever done for them.

00:52:49Oh, Arthur.

00:52:51I wish we had had a better reception for you.

00:52:54Oh, Mother, don't say that, please.

00:52:57I've already arranged something for you.

00:52:58I finally found you.

00:53:00That's cause for celebration.

00:53:01You've arranged something?

00:53:03No.

00:53:04No, I...

00:53:05Please.

00:53:06I hope you haven't spent any coin on us, Arthur.

00:53:09What have you arranged?

00:53:10Just something small at the Baron's Manor.

00:53:12Don't worry, Mother.

00:53:14It's been paid for.

00:53:15At the Baron's Manor?

00:53:17Arthur, we...

00:53:18Haven't you heard the Duke will be there?

00:53:20We can't possibly impose.

00:53:22It's...

00:53:23Like I said, Mother, don't worry.

00:53:26You'll see.

00:53:28Oh, sh...

00:53:29Lady Adela, this is all very splendid.

00:53:42You must introduce us to the Duke when he arrives.

00:53:45Oh, Mrs. Moore, of course.

00:53:47As the Baron of Stanford, my father is very close to the Duke.

00:53:51It's likely he was the one to recommend John in the first place.

00:53:55Of course, the Duke would love to meet you.

00:53:58I cannot believe it.

00:53:59A noble title.

00:54:01Lady Adela, you are simply full of surprises.

00:54:04You are the best match for John, no doubt about it.

00:54:08How do you mean to ask, Adela?

00:54:10Why would someone like the Duke come to Stanford in the first place?

00:54:13Well, Stanford is his hometown.

00:54:16The King dispatched him here to oversee the building of a new fort.

00:54:20The real reason is his parents.

00:54:23He was separated from them when he was a child.

00:54:25Even this banquet, I hear, is all for them.

00:54:28Must be good, noble people to rear such a fine man like the Duke.

00:54:33We must make a good impression.

00:54:35Mm-hmm.

00:54:37How did those peasants get in?

00:55:02This banquet, I've arranged it all for you.

00:55:05I'll introduce you to everyone shortly.

00:55:09Our third?

00:55:10Don't just, what do you mean for us?

00:55:13Mother, I'm serious.

00:55:16This is all for you.

00:55:18But, how could you have arranged all this?

00:55:21How much money did you spend?

00:55:23Money has nothing to do with it, Father.

00:55:25I just want to see you happy.

00:55:27We are happy.

00:55:29Truly happy.

00:55:30We're finally all together again.

00:55:37John, I thought you told them to get lost.

00:55:39Why are they back?

00:55:45John, I thought you told them to get lost.

00:55:47Why are they back?

00:55:48Damn lowlifes.

00:55:50They must have tailed us in.

00:55:52I knew those ill-bred dogs would go away that easily.

00:55:56Scoundrels, all.

00:55:58Mrs. Moore, rest easy.

00:56:01This banquet is held on the Duke's orders,

00:56:04and Father asked me to see that our guests enjoy themselves.

00:56:08I have every authority to throw them out.

00:56:10Come.

00:56:25Who let you in?

00:56:29Who let you in?

00:56:30You must be lost, peasant.

00:56:32This is the Duke's banquet, not the gruel kitchen.

00:56:36I suggest you turn around immediately.

00:56:38And I suggest you shut your mouth.

00:56:41This is my manor.

00:56:43My father is hosting it under direct orders of the Duke.

00:56:47You have no place to speak here.

00:56:51And you?

00:56:52You must be the bitch that John was engaged to.

00:56:56I'll have you know, John is going to be a noble.

00:57:00You'll have no way into his home.

00:57:03Unless you'd like to be our maid once we marry.

00:57:07Lowborn as I may be,

00:57:08I'm still more noble than a harlot like you.

00:57:11You wench.

00:57:13I will not let you talk to Lady Adela like this.

00:57:16Apologize right now.

00:57:18I owe her nothing of the sort.

00:57:20She is the one who's courting an engaged man.

00:57:22I told your parents and your disgusting beggar of a brother,

00:57:27I called off the engagement.

00:57:30You're not good enough for me.

00:57:32You're wrong.

00:57:34It's you who isn't good enough for me.

00:57:36I would never marry a man with such a fickle heart

00:57:39who would abandon his fiancee just to chase after some harlot's coin.

00:57:43You dirty bitch.

00:57:48That's what you get for talking to my son like that.

00:57:54How dare you raise your hands to my daughter?

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

00:57:59You're right, mother.

00:58:01We ought to slap some sense into them.

00:58:03Anna, look at yourself.

00:58:05You're nothing compared to Lady Adela.

00:58:07It's no wonder I chose her.

00:58:10Lady Adela is Lord Benjamin's daughter.

00:58:14What do you have that Lady Adela doesn't?

00:58:18Besides this useless beggar of a brother.

00:58:22Do not insult my brother.

00:58:24He is more noble than any of you.

00:58:33All this dirty work must have done you in.

00:58:36A beggar like him.

00:58:39You lowly peasants.

00:58:41None of you deserve to talk to us.

00:58:44Get out or we'll throw you out with force.

00:58:48Get out or we'll throw you out with force.

00:58:51It is you who ought to be thrown out.

00:58:58Hmm.

00:58:59What a pretty money-sucking leech.

00:59:04I would tell her.

00:59:06I am disgusted by the implication.

00:59:09Despite her features,

00:59:12a maid that cleans chamber parts all day

00:59:14is more fit to marry a stable boy.

00:59:16Say that again,

00:59:17and I'll make you pay.

00:59:19Oh no.

00:59:21What are you going to do?

00:59:23Hit me?

00:59:25Well, come on then.

00:59:26Have at it.

00:59:27Ah!

00:59:28Well, I do say I think this was the first time

00:59:34I heard someone ask for it.

00:59:36But,

00:59:36I think we all heard him clearly enough.

00:59:41You fill it!

00:59:42You actually asked-

00:59:43You asked for it.

00:59:45I obliged.

00:59:45Lord Benjamin,

00:59:51the Duke has arrived.

00:59:53He's here already.

00:59:55We have to go.

00:59:56You asked for it.

00:59:57I am to be a noble,

00:59:59and you will not offend me again.

01:00:02Why should I care?

01:00:03I'm sure Lord Benjamin would understand.

01:00:05Do not speak my father's name!

01:00:07You're dead!

01:00:09My father will see to it when he arrives.

01:00:11On your knees!

01:00:12And I demand you apologize to John now!

01:00:15And your filthy parents too!

01:00:18Down!

01:00:18Who do you think you are barking orders at me?

01:00:20Don't think you're so high and mighty

01:00:22just because you've followed us in!

01:00:24You've no right to speak to my son

01:00:26or Lady Adela like this!

01:00:27Don't you know how much I suffered

01:00:30being betrothed to your dirty whore of a sister?

01:00:33I will not let you embarrass me again.

01:00:38We've been gracious enough letting the matter go,

01:00:41yet you shameless rats won't stop bothering us.

01:00:44Away!

01:00:45Off with you!

01:00:46Oh, Mrs. Moore.

01:00:47I have a much better idea.

01:00:50Let's add a few tears to their teary reunion.

01:00:53Guards!

01:00:57Execute him!

01:00:58No!

01:00:59I want to watch as I lose their precious son.

01:01:02Again.

01:01:04Oh, Lady Adela, I think if that's the case,

01:01:06we ought to keep him alive.

01:01:08He's already a useless beggar.

01:01:10We ought to break his legs and keep him that way.

01:01:13Lisa!

01:01:14Lady Moore!

01:01:15Please!

01:01:17I apologize.

01:01:18I'll have Arthur repent right away!

01:01:20Yes, please.

01:01:21Pardon us.

01:01:22Arthur.

01:01:23Please, I beg of you, apologize.

01:01:25Please.

01:01:27You've enough wit to be scared,

01:01:28but it's too late.

01:01:30It's not my fault you've been grating on my nerves.

01:01:33I've nothing left for pity.

01:01:34Seems like you have quite a loud bark with no bite matter.

01:01:39What did you just say to me?

01:01:42Mother.

01:01:44Father.

01:01:45I already told you.

01:01:46This banquet is for you.

01:01:47In honor of us all being together again.

01:01:50You have every right to enjoy yourself.

01:01:52If my sister was correct,

01:01:54you ought to apologize for your poor behavior,

01:01:56and I ought to have you thrown out.

01:01:58Soon,

01:01:59you'll be kneeling before us,

01:02:00begging for the forgiveness.

01:02:01We have every right to withhold.

01:02:03A pity

01:02:04to have a son like him.

01:02:06Imagine spending 10 years to find your son,

01:02:09just to have him turn out like this.

01:02:11The real pity is what will be happening to you soon.

01:02:14I think I'll be quite happy in the future.

01:02:17Oh, yes.

01:02:19Happy.

01:02:20Very happy, I imagine,

01:02:21with your legs mangled,

01:02:23crawling on the ground.

01:02:25Oh, and your poor parents.

01:02:27I'm sure they'll be very joyous over such a sight.

01:02:30Seize them!

01:02:31No.

01:02:32No.

01:02:33Please, no.

01:02:34Presenting,

01:02:35the Honorable Lord Benjamin,

01:02:37Baron of Stamford.

01:02:40Oh.

01:02:41You're in for it now.

01:02:43Lord Benjamin is the most powerful man in Stamford,

01:02:46and he's backed by the Duke,

01:02:48whose authority is second only to the King.

01:02:51You poor, poor souls.

01:02:53We'll see what the Duke has to say

01:02:54when he hears about this.

01:02:56I reckon you'll all be beaten to death in the dungeons.

01:02:59Don't waste your breath, Madam.

01:03:01A commoner like him can't even fathom

01:03:03the great power the Duke has.

01:03:05Of course, Lady Adela.

01:03:06It'd be an honor for him to lay eyes on the gentleman

01:03:09before he crushes them like the rest they are.

01:03:13Oh, no.

01:03:14Oh, I can't wait.

01:03:16How unfortunate it had to come to this.

01:03:19Yes.

01:03:19How unfortunate it is for you.

01:03:22Lord Benjamin is my father,

01:03:24and once I tell him what you've done

01:03:27to me and my dear John,

01:03:29he'll have you all beheaded.

01:03:31No.

01:03:33Oh, how lucky it is to be so simple-minded.

01:03:37You, half-dead caudges,

01:03:39and you, harlot.

01:03:41Any last words?

01:03:45No teary goodbyes?

01:03:47Or do you wish to die with him?

01:03:50John, please.

01:03:51Arthur was just impulsive.

01:03:53Please put in a good word for him.

01:03:54Get your dirty hands off of me!

01:03:57You scoundrel!

01:03:58I'll do it again!

01:04:03You scoundrel!

01:04:04I'll do it again!

01:04:07John!

01:04:08My darling boy!

01:04:10How dare you!

01:04:11Touch my parents again,

01:04:13and your family will pay.

01:04:14Let it be known,

01:04:16this night was meant to be a joyous one,

01:04:17and I did not wish to taint it

01:04:19with strife and bloodshed.

01:04:21I would have let you go,

01:04:23as awful as your behavior was to me,

01:04:24but you insulted my virtuous sister

01:04:26and raised your hand

01:04:28to my saintly mother and father.

01:04:30Your actions beg for punishment,

01:04:32and I am happy to see to it.

01:04:35Let it be known,

01:04:36I plan to exile the Moore family

01:04:38from the good town of Stamford.

01:04:44Oh, you've gone mad.

01:04:46Truly mad.

01:04:48Lady Adela,

01:04:48have your men restrain him

01:04:50for the safety of your guests,

01:04:51and have him flogged in the dungeon.

01:04:56What's this again about the dungeons?

01:04:58Lord Benjamin,

01:05:03you've finally come.

01:05:04My lord,

01:05:04we've been troubled so

01:05:05by these lowly peasants.

01:05:07Father,

01:05:08it's them.

01:05:08I say we take them to the dungeons.

01:05:15This is the Duke's banquet, Adela.

01:05:18I will not tolerate your antics.

01:05:20Pardon me, father.

01:05:22It seems I've been lax,

01:05:23for these lowly,

01:05:24dirty servants have snuck in.

01:05:26Lowly,

01:05:28dirty servants.

01:05:32Yes, father.

01:05:33The mister and missus are servants,

01:05:35and so is the daughter.

01:05:37And he's a beggar.

01:05:39A vile,

01:05:39disgusting man.

01:05:41Perhaps we could send them away

01:05:42with some scraps

01:05:43from the kitchens.

01:05:44I dare say it'd be better

01:05:45than anything they've ever tasted.

01:05:47Oh, father,

01:05:48please allow me to see it.

01:05:49I'll have their bones broken

01:05:51and left out for the dogs

01:05:52for disturbing the Duke's banquet.

01:05:54Silence!

01:05:57But Lord Benjamin,

01:05:58why?

01:06:00Duke of Mercia,

01:06:02Arthur.

01:06:03Your Grace,

01:06:05at your service.

01:06:07Ailed in His Grace,

01:06:08the Duke,

01:06:09Arthur.

01:06:09Lord Benjamin,

01:06:15I was promised a warm welcome.

01:06:34What is all of this?

01:06:35I'll see to it,

01:06:37Your Grace.

01:06:38My boy.

01:06:40What do the parents say?

01:06:42Is it Duke Arthur

01:06:43that he just called you?

01:06:44Huh?

01:06:45What?

01:06:46Sir,

01:06:47madam,

01:06:49please.

01:06:51Benjamin,

01:06:52at your service.

01:06:54I don't understand.

01:06:55Are you really?

01:06:56Yes, father.

01:06:58What?

01:06:59I'm the Duke.

01:07:02My book?

01:07:03The Duke?

01:07:05That's my son.

01:07:06That's my son.

01:07:08He's the Duke.

01:07:09What did I say?

01:07:11My brother is more noble

01:07:12than anyone.

01:07:14Lord Benjamin,

01:07:15are you certain

01:07:16he's the Duke?

01:07:19Father,

01:07:19you said the Duke

01:07:21was a great man.

01:07:22You must be mistaken.

01:07:23You stupid girl.

01:07:27How could I be wrong?

01:07:29And you,

01:07:30you ought to be ashamed.

01:07:32How dare you do this

01:07:34to his grace,

01:07:35Duke Arthur?

01:07:36No,

01:07:36it can't be.

01:07:38Father,

01:07:39tell me it's a joke.

01:07:40It simply can't be.

01:07:41Get on your knees, girl,

01:07:43and maybe he'll forgive you.

01:07:47No.

01:07:48You said that the Duke

01:07:49was going to give John a title.

01:07:50Why would John

01:07:51call off the engagement

01:07:52to his sister?

01:07:53Father,

01:07:54I!

01:07:55Maybe this will get

01:07:56through your thick skull.

01:07:58He is the Duke,

01:07:59the one and only.

01:08:02Guards,

01:08:03take her away

01:08:04until she's learned

01:08:05her lesson.

01:08:09Guards,

01:08:10take her away

01:08:10until she's learned

01:08:11her lesson.

01:08:13No!

01:08:14Father,

01:08:15no,

01:08:15he can't be,

01:08:16he can't be the Duke.

01:08:17He simply can't be.

01:08:21Your Grace,

01:08:22I must apologize.

01:08:24That's enough.

01:08:25Your family has

01:08:26played your hand for it.

01:08:28Duke Arthur,

01:08:28sir.

01:08:30Why,

01:08:30certainly.

01:08:32My son is still engaged

01:08:33to the Wellesley's daughter.

01:08:34Our connection

01:08:35is nothing to scoff at.

01:08:37Mother,

01:08:38my brother-in-law,

01:08:39a Duke,

01:08:40will be even richer.

01:08:41My brother-in-law,

01:08:46a Duke,

01:08:47will be even richer.

01:08:48Will be set for life.

01:08:50Oh,

01:08:51married to the sister

01:08:52of the Duke.

01:08:53Oh, goodness.

01:08:54That must be why

01:08:55you want to give me

01:08:55a noble title.

01:08:57So I can marry Anna.

01:08:59Anna,

01:09:00can you believe it?

01:09:01Your brother,

01:09:02a Duke.

01:09:03What does that have

01:09:03to do with you?

01:09:04It has everything

01:09:05to do with me,

01:09:06darling.

01:09:07You're my fiancé,

01:09:08remember?

01:09:09Don't forget about me

01:09:10just because

01:09:10your brother's a Duke now.

01:09:12You are truly

01:09:13shameless,

01:09:14John.

01:09:15Don't be like that,

01:09:15my dear,

01:09:16darling fiancé.

01:09:17Fiancé,

01:09:18have you forgotten

01:09:19what you just

01:09:19called me?

01:09:21A dirty whore

01:09:22only fit to

01:09:24wait as tableboy.

01:09:25Isn't that right?

01:09:26Oh, Anna,

01:09:27forgive him,

01:09:28would you?

01:09:29A pettiness

01:09:30doesn't suit

01:09:30a pretty face

01:09:31like yours.

01:09:33Women like us,

01:09:33we ought to understand

01:09:34our husbands' temperaments.

01:09:37My sister,

01:09:39petty,

01:09:40that's rich

01:09:41coming from you.

01:09:42Oh,

01:09:43Duke Arthur,

01:09:44my brother,

01:09:45I must apologize

01:09:46for what I said.

01:09:47I'll apologize

01:09:48to Anna.

01:09:49There is no need.

01:09:50I have no wish

01:09:51to hear anything

01:09:52further from you.

01:09:53The woman has spoken,

01:09:54John.

01:09:55It seems my sister

01:09:56disdains

01:09:57your vile habits.

01:09:59Anna,

01:09:59this is all my fault.

01:10:01We grew up together,

01:10:02didn't we?

01:10:03I loved you.

01:10:05I did.

01:10:06This has all been

01:10:07a big misunderstanding,

01:10:08of course.

01:10:09I'm sure you can

01:10:10forgive me.

01:10:11Please,

01:10:12give me another chance.

01:10:13Yes, dear,

01:10:15just a misunderstanding.

01:10:17Let's put it

01:10:18all behind us

01:10:19now,

01:10:19shall we?

01:10:21Yeah.

01:10:22Forgive you!

01:10:24I don't think I will.

01:10:25It would be a sin

01:10:26to forget

01:10:27what you've done

01:10:27to my mother

01:10:28and father.

01:10:29My brother's title

01:10:30has nothing

01:10:31to do with you.

01:10:32I wish for you

01:10:33to be gone

01:10:33and never come back.

01:10:36Anna.

01:10:39Forgive me.

01:10:40You're better

01:10:42than this.

01:10:44Please,

01:10:45forgive me.

01:10:47You're better

01:10:47than this.

01:10:51Leave my sister

01:10:52alone, scum.

01:10:53Your apology

01:10:53means nothing.

01:10:54Please,

01:10:55your grace,

01:10:56Duke Arthur.

01:10:57It's all my fault.

01:10:59I've wronged you.

01:11:00I admit it.

01:11:01I beg your pardon.

01:11:03Mr. Westerly,

01:11:04Madam,

01:11:05please ask Arthur

01:11:07to show us mercy.

01:11:09I was betrothed

01:11:10to Anna.

01:11:11I've shown her

01:11:12much kindness.

01:11:13Mother,

01:11:14please ask him

01:11:15to forgive me.

01:11:16I cannot live

01:11:17without Anna.

01:11:19Jane,

01:11:20please.

01:11:21I even got you

01:11:22the job

01:11:22at the Baron's Manor.

01:11:23Are you going

01:11:24to be so cruel

01:11:25as to forget

01:11:26everything I've done

01:11:27for you

01:11:27that John's done

01:11:28for you?

01:11:29A bit of compassion

01:11:31for an old friend?

01:11:32Yes,

01:11:34Mr. Welsie,

01:11:34please.

01:11:35I'll do anything

01:11:36for her.

01:11:37I'll give her

01:11:37whatever she wants.

01:11:39If you just

01:11:40please forgive

01:11:41my one transgression.

01:11:43How dare you

01:11:44ask for compassion?

01:11:49How dare you

01:11:50ask for compassion?

01:11:52Have you shown

01:11:52any compassion

01:11:53to my father?

01:11:54To my mother?

01:11:55Those ten

01:11:56long years

01:11:57I was gone.

01:11:58Did you help

01:11:59them at all?

01:12:00Did you give

01:12:00them any aid?

01:12:01You speak

01:12:02of them

01:12:02as an old friend

01:12:03as if they

01:12:04have ever

01:12:05forsaken you.

01:12:07had I not

01:12:08been announced

01:12:08as the Duke

01:12:11on their bodies.
