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.
00:01:31I love you.
00:01:33I love you.
00:01:38Bye!
00:01:38Bye!
00:01:39Bye!

00:01:56Every man must stand and fight.
00:01:59Take him.
00:02:00Stop!
00:02:01No!
00:02:02I'm only 13!
00:02:03Let me go!
00:02:04Mama!

00:02:48Look
00:02:50What?
00:02:52Have you seen my son?
00:02:54Have you seen Arthur?
00:02:56The baronsmen took him
00:02:58What?
00:02:59They're marching him to the border
00:03:00Sending him to war
00:03:02No!
00:03:03No!
00:03:04No!
00:03:05Here!
00:03:16Jane!
00:03:17You're hurt!
00:03:18Girl!
00:03:19They took him
00:03:21What?
00:03:22We have to get him
00:03:23He's only 13
00:03:24He wants to arrive on the battlefield
00:03:26Let's go
00:03:28He
00:03:29No?
00:03:30Have you seen a boy?
00:03:31Have you seen Arthur?
00:03:32He's our son?
00:03:33Right here with soldier people
00:03:35Hey!
00:03:36Are you soldiers of the baron?
00:03:37Have you seen a boy?
00:03:38A strong lad?
00:03:39Brown hair?
00:03:40About this tall?
00:03:41The boy we took from the market is it?
00:03:43Yes
00:03:44Yes
00:03:45Yes that's him
00:03:46Where is he?
00:03:47Your boy is either dead or going to be soon
00:03:49He can't be you're lying
00:03:51Away with you woman
00:03:52Give me back my son
00:03:53The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old
00:03:57Arthur's 13
00:03:58Please
00:03:59If you didn't want him gone you should have kept him at home
00:04:07You have no one to blame but yourself
00:04:09It's all my fault I killed him
00:04:12I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself
00:04:15Shut up wench or I'll make you join him real soon
00:04:21Comet now foolish as they are
00:04:24We can't just kill as we wish
00:04:26Comet boy from filth like you
00:04:29He was doomed from the moment he met us
00:04:36He's right
00:04:38It's all my fault I shouldn't have let him go
00:04:41You mustn't do this to yourself
00:04:43We will bring our boy home
00:04:46Arthur
00:04:48Where are you?
00:05:13I have a feeling I know why you're here
00:05:30Your majesty
00:05:32Nothing 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 to 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
00:05:54My boy
00:05:55You've 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
00:06:09Find your family
00:06:11They would be so proud to see the man you've become
00:06:15And while you're at it
00:06:17Build me that castle
00:06:19I won't let you down, sir
00:06:23I won't let you down, sir
00:06:30I miss you
00:06:34Robert, my sweet nephew
00:06:36Here
00:06:37All my wages
00:06:40I'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
00:06:49Aunt Jane
00:06:50My connections are expensive
00:06:52I'll look into it
00:06:53But 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
00:07:03Maybe you can ask the Duke if
00:07:04To help me find my son
00:07:06I've heard that the Duke is a great knight in battle
00:07:08So perhaps you could ask him
00:07:10To see if he recognizes this boy
00:07:12With his necklace
00:07:13Maybe he knows my Arthur
00:07:14Have you lost your wits?
00:07:17Ask the Duke for help
00:07:19Who do you think you are?
00:07:21Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the Duke
00:07:23For such trifles
00:07:25Robert, please
00:07:26Just have him take a look
00:07:28You...
00:07:38It'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
00:08:08The Duke is here
00:08:10Go!
00:08:11Get!
00:08:22That's the Duke
00:08:23He's the one that defeated the Five Kingdoms
00:08:26The King treats him like a suck
00:08:38Just be careful
00:08:40Run away
00:09:00What two men do?
00:09:06Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia
00:09:12Welcome, 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
00:09:26I beg for your forgiveness
00:09:28It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor
00:09:31You are too kind, Your Grace
00:09:33I've returned to find my family
00:09:35Well 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
00:09:44But my mother, she wore a pendant like this
00:09:49May God bless us, and guide us, and keep us together as one family
00:10:05Could this be me?
00:10:10Find who this belongs to
00:10:11I will see to this personally
00:10:13Mom, where are you?
00:10:19The Duke of Mercia has come to the Baron's Manor
00:10:25The King must hold him in high regard
00:10:28They say he's looking for his family
00:10:30Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:10:35Pardon to interrupt, but
00:10:36Well, if he's here visiting his family
00:10:39Then there's a chance
00:10:40Then possibly the Duke is my author
00:10:43Don't be stupid
00:10:48This is the Duke
00:10:50Second 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
00:11:00No
00:11:02I must see the Duke
00:11:05Have you lost your mind?
00:11:08I 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
00:11:50Huh!
00:11:52What were you thinking?
00:11:54Your 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
00:12:02No, I swear that was my son
00:12:05That was Arthur
00:12:05You have truly gone mad
00:12:08That was the Duke
00:12:09The 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
00:12:20I swear that
00:12:21Ow!
00:12:23Ow!
00:12:24Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:12:26Calling the Duke your son
00:12:29What an insult to that fine gentleman
00:12:32Please
00:12:33Just let me speak to him
00:12:35Let me show him this
00:12:37Ow!
00:12:45Ow!
00:12:45Ow!
00:12:49Robert!
00:12:52Robert!
00:12:52Don't!
00:12:53Not while the Duke is here
00:12:55Not while the Duke is here
00:12:55Robert!
00:12:57What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:00Anna
00:13:00Give me that back I needed to find Arthur
00:13:04Worthless piece of junk
00:13:06Robert
00:13:07We're family
00:13:09We're supposed to help each other
00:13:10But you're a fun
00:13:12Family?
00:13:14It's bad enough that we share the same blood
00:13:17My son has risen up through the ranks
00:13:20While yours only grows poorer and poorer
00:13:24It'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
00:13:37You never even thought to look for him
00:13:40You liar!
00:13:41You cheat!
00:13:43Give me back my coin!
00:13:44Don't touch me with your filthy hands
00:13:48And this
00:13:49Say goodbye to your son
00:13:51No!
00:13:59Mother, no!
00:14:04Mother, no!
00:14:06Come, mother
00:14:11Let's go
00:14:12Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:14:16We'll never be able to find Arthur
00:14:18Not 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
00:14:22Oh, Anna
00:14:25Now, if you truly believe
00:14:27The Duke might be our Arthur
00:14:28I'll see what I can do
00:14:30Arthur
00:14:31Arthur, my brother
00:14:43Could it really be you?
00:14:49Your grace
00:14:50My lord
00:14:52Forgive me, your grace
00:15:11Useless girl
00:15:16Your grace
00:15:18Are you all right?
00:15:19I'm fine, Lord Benjamin
00:15:20No need to punish her
00:15:23For a simple mistake
00:15:23Your kindness
00:15:25Humbles us all
00:15:26Well
00:15:28Don't just sit there
00:15:29Clean yourself up
00:15:31Why does she seem so familiar?
00:15:37It seems that I have someone
00:15:39The Duke might want
00:15:41How could Robert do this to you?
00:15:47He beat you
00:15:49You're his aunt for crying out loud
00:15:52Oh, Carl
00:15:53You know your family has always been cruel to us
00:15:57It's only gonna get worse
00:15:59Now that Robert is butler to the baron
00:16:03Mother?
00:16:05Father?
00:16:06This place is so familiar to me
00:16:11And it's strategic
00:16:12I'll build the new fort here
00:16:16See to it that all the families along this road are asked to leave
00:16:19And compensate them well
00:16:21I will start the process right away
00:16:23Father
00:16:30What did the Duke say?
00:16:33Did he?
00:16:37Mother
00:16:38What?
00:16:39I don't think the Duke is our Arthur
00:16:42No
00:16:43He does
00:16:45He does resemble him, yes
00:16:46But he didn't recognize the necklace
00:16:49No
00:16:50I'm so sorry
00:16:53I thought it was him
00:16:56I wanted to come back and give you the necklace
00:16:59I know at least you'll sleep easier
00:17:02Knowing this is by your side
00:17:03Thank you
00:17:06Oh
00:17:09Oh, your grace
00:17:15I dare say
00:17:16You look as handsome as ever
00:17:18These clothes are much more comfortable
00:17:20Thank you
00:17:26Leave me
00:17:27I wish to explore the city by myself
00:17:29See if anything can jog my memory
00:17:31Yes, your grace
00:17:33Well, it must be Anna
00:17:43She must have forgot something
00:17:44Anna
00:17:46Anna?
00:17:49Yeah
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
00:18:07So I can offer you a fresh loaf
00:18:09You call this food?
00:18:12The Baron's dogs wouldn't eat this
00:18:15But 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
00:18:30It really is a shack
00:18:40But luckily it'll be gone soon
00:18:43Your land has been seized
00:18:45This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort
00:18:48No
00:18:48To bolster our defenses
00:18:50The order came directly from the Duke himself
00:18:53No
00:18:54But you will be well compensated for the trouble
00:18:57Just sign here and you'll receive 20 gold pieces
00:19:03As your brother
00:19:05I should be entitled to half
00:19:07But as you have no son
00:19:09And I have a son
00:19:10I ought to take two thirds
00:19:12What?
00:19:13No, this is our family home
00:19:15No
00:19:16If 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
00:19:22Not for nothing
00:19:23Then you are dafter than I thought
00:19:25Let me remind you
00:19:27Your son is not coming back
00:19:30Because he's dead
00:19:32No
00:19:33No, no, no
00:19:34You hold your tongue
00:19:35Arthur will return
00:19:36And we will remain here
00:19:37Until he does
00:19:38We won't give up hope
00:19:39Not for any penny coin
00:19:41You don't get a say
00:19:43The order comes from above
00:19:44Enough of this insolence
00:19:46Leave my house at once
00:19:47Leave my house
00:19:48Carl
00:19:48Carl
00:19:52Carl, you're right
00:19:54We are family
00:19:57We are supposed to support each other
00:20:00And if you can't do that
00:20:00Then leave
00:20:01Then you've chosen death
00:20:03So be it
00:20:04This place
00:20:09Really does feel so familiar
00:20:11What?
00:20:16What are you doing?
00:20:18I'll tell you this one last time
00:20:24Sign a damn contract
00:20:25Or I'll beat you to death
00:20:27You are his brother
00:20:28How can you do this to him?
00:20:29No man as useless as him
00:20:31Deserves to be my brother
00:20:32Sign it, now
00:20:38Stop it
00:20:51Stop it!
00:21:04Stop it!
00:21:05That's an order.
00:21:09What's a peasant like you doing here?
00:21:11Cross me, and I'll beat you up too.
00:21:13You know who my son works for? The Baron.
00:21:16We're here to seize this land off his orders.
00:21:18So you better stay out of our affairs.
00:21:20So you're the Baron's henchman.
00:21:22I told him to see that every family is compensated fairly.
00:21:26And this is how you choose to do it?
00:21:35Good folks, you have my word.
00:21:37I will make this matter right.
00:21:39Lord Benjamin requests your land to build a new fort.
00:21:42But we will provide whatever is necessary for you.
00:21:45Do you know the Baron?
00:21:46Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?
00:21:49All we ask is that we remain here.
00:21:51We cannot leave our home, please.
00:21:53Rest assured, you'll be well compensated if you choose to depart.
00:21:58No, we don't want coin.
00:22:00This is my son's home.
00:22:02If it's torn down, he will never find his way home.
00:22:05Your son was taken, you say?
00:22:07Yes.
00:22:08He was only 13 years old.
00:22:10Taken far too young, conscripted by the Baron's soldiers.
00:22:14If we leave, he'll never find his way back.
00:22:18Please.
00:22:19Please, I beg of you.
00:22:25He's pinned.
00:22:26Yes.
00:22:27He was a token.
00:22:28A promise that my children and I would always be family together.
00:22:37This one is for you, Arthur.
00:22:40Arthur?
00:22:43What?
00:22:55Mother.
00:22:56Arthur.
00:22:57Is it you?
00:22:58It's me, Mom.
00:22:59I've come home.
00:23:00My boy.
00:23:01Ten long years.
00:23:02We searched for you.
00:23:03And finally, you've come back to us.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:05I've been a bad son.
00:23:06But I promise, I will give you the life you deserve from here on out.
00:23:21Please, forgive me.
00:23:23Can we stop with the theatrics?
00:23:33Ten years have passed and cousin Arthur returns as a peasant.
00:23:38I'd cry too if this were my son.
00:23:40Laura and George, do you see?
00:23:42Arthur has come home.
00:23:44What's there to cheer for?
00:23:45A beggar for a son?
00:23:46Or a thief, more likely.
00:23:49Look at him.
00:23:50Wandering around, starving and desperate.
00:23:54I don't care what you say.
00:23:56But my son has come home and he is everything to me.
00:24:00Let's go inside and I will make your favorite roast.
00:24:03And George and Laura, I would prefer if you left.
00:24:07We would like to celebrate alone as a family.
00:24:10We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool!
00:24:14No, Robert, surely you understand.
00:24:19You're family.
00:24:20We'd like to celebrate.
00:24:21This low life doesn't deserve anything.
00:24:27I'm done arguing with you at this pigsty.
00:24:31Don't you point your finger at me.
00:24:33I could do much worse.
00:24:35Or do you want me to get my fiancee so you can beg for her forgiveness instead?
00:24:39Remember, I'm engaged to the prestigious Lady Edith.
00:24:44If she finds out about this, you'll all get a good beating.
00:24:47Go away!
00:24:56This is a joyous day.
00:24:59And I do not wish to spend it squabbling with you, ilk.
00:25:02Kneel before us, apologize, and be gone.
00:25:06You son of a whore.
00:25:12I'm the Baron's butler.
00:25:14The highest on his staff.
00:25:16You think I'd kneel to a common maid?
00:25:20You better show your respect.
00:25:27Now will you go?
00:25:29You scum!
00:25:30I'll have you know just how much I am worth.
00:25:32Inform Lady Edith.
00:25:34Ask her to come, won't you?
00:25:36Yes, Mr. Wellesley.
00:25:37Well, well, well.
00:25:39You fools have chosen not to take the gold.
00:25:41But it was the Baron's orders.
00:25:43Your hovel must come down.
00:25:46Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?
00:25:48That's Baron Stamford to you.
00:25:50On the contrary.
00:25:51I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.
00:25:54Are you mad?
00:25:57Who do you think you are?
00:26:00The Duke?
00:26:01Pulling rank like you're anything special.
00:26:04I dare say I'm special enough that even Lord Benjamin would kneel before me.
00:26:08What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:26:11Lord Benjamin, sir.
00:26:12The Duke has dismissed his guards and gone on a stroll.
00:26:13Where to?
00:26:14Around where the families are being asked to relocate, sir.
00:26:15What?
00:26:16Well, I hope he doesn't run into the Wellesleys.
00:26:17Guards, come with me.
00:26:18What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:26:20Did I just hear someone disrespecting my cousin, the Baron of Stamford?

00:50:57drop the matter and i'll let you leave
00:51:00we'll go but best you remember it is the welleslees who called off this engagement

00:52:14i've already arranged something for you i finally found you that's cause for celebration you've arranged
00:52:20something no no please i hope you haven't spent any coin on us arthur what have you arranged just
00:52:28something small the baron's manor don't worry mother it's been paid for but the parents
00:52:33manor arthur arthur haven't you heard the duke will be there we can't possibly impose it's
00:52:41like i said mother don't worry you'll see
00:52:44lady adela this is all very splendid
00:52:59you must introduce us to the duke when he arrives oh mrs moore of course as the baron of stanford my
00:53:06father is very close to the duke it's likely he was the one to recommend john in the first place
00:53:12of course the duke would love to meet you i cannot believe it a noble title lady adela you are simply
00:53:20full of surprises you are the best match for john no doubt about it
00:53:26how do you mean to ask adela why would someone like the duke come to stanford in the first place
00:53:31why stanford is his hometown the king dispatched him here to oversee the building of a new fort
00:53:38the real reason is his parents he was separated from them when he was a child
00:53:43even this banquet i hear is all for them must be good noble people to rear such a fine man like
00:53:50the duke we must make a good impression
00:54:12how did those peasants get in
00:54:21this banquet i've arranged it all for you i'll introduce you to everyone shortly
00:54:27our third don't just what do you mean for us mother i'm serious this is all for you but

00:56:33to lady adela like this apologize right now i owe her nothing of the sort she is the one who's courting
