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.
00:00:30You didn't recognize the necklace.
00:00:32Your land is being 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.
00:00:53Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:01:04Every man must stand and fight.
00:01:07No.
00:01:08No.
00:01:09No.
00:01:10No.
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?
00:01:24No.
00:01:25They won't.
00:01:26Okay?
00:01:26I 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.
00:01:50I 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.
00:02:20I'm sorry, Spare.
00:02:22We 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.
00:02:38Bye!
00:02:50Every man must stand and fight.
00:02:59Take him.
00:03:01Stop.

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