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