00:00:00Bless us and keep us together as one family.
00:00:03My son Arthur is taken by the Baron to the war.
00:00:06We must find him.
00:00:08Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:00:11I'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.
00:00:18Your son is not coming back.
00:00:22Because he's dead.
00:00:24It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:00:27I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:00:29He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:00:31Your land has been saved.
00:00:33What?
00:00:33No, this is our family home.
00:00:35Sign it, now.
00:00:36No.
00:00:37Stop it.
00:00:40Your son was taken, you say?
00:00:42Could this be me?
00:00:44My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:00:47Say goodbye to your son.
00:00:49That woman.
00:00:50Possibly the Duke is my Arthur.
00:00:59Once upon a time, the kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:01:04Every man must stand and fight.
00:01:07No.
00:01:09No.
00:01:10No.
00:01:10Please.
00:01:11Please.
00:01:12I don't want to go to war.
00:01:14Spare me.
00:01:15I'm scared, Arthur.
00:01:20Will they take you and Papa away, too?
00:01:23No.
00:01:24They won't.
00:01:25Okay?
00:01:26I got something for both of you.
00:01:30I had these blessed by the church today.
00:01:33This 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.
00:01:49I love you.
00:01:55Mama?
00:01:56Yes?
00:01:56My belly hurts.
00:01:58I think I need to go potty.
00:02:00I see.
00:02:02Yes.
00:02:03Wait, 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, sweet.
00:02:21We can't afford beef.
00:02:24Maybe we could have a chicken.
00:02:26Your favorite chicken pie.
00:02:28Huzzah!
00:02:29Thank you, Mom.
00:02:30I love you.
00:02:32I love you.
00:02:38Bye!
00:02:38Bye!
00:02:38Bye!
00:02:49Every man must stand and fight.
00:02:59Take him.
00:03:00Stop!

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

00:52:52i will have your legs cut off come now we have a banquet to attend
00:53:06oh that's the moores for you some coin and they forget everything they've ever done for
00:53:12room oh arthur i wish we had a better reception for you oh mother don't say that please i've
00:53:20already arranged something for you i finally found you that's cause for celebration you've arranged
00:53:25something no no i please i hope you haven't spent any coin on us arthur what have you arranged just
00:53:33something small at the baron's manor don't worry mother it's been paid for but the parents
00:53:39matters arthur we haven't you heard the duke will be there we can't possibly impose it's
00:53:46like i said mother don't worry you'll see
00:53:50lady adela this is all very splendid you must introduce us to the duke when he arrives oh mrs moore
00:54:09of course as the baron of stanford my father is very close to the duke it's likely he was the one to
00:54:16recommend john in the first place of course the duke would love to meet you i cannot believe it a
00:54:23noble title lady adela you are simply full of surprises you are the best match for john no doubt
00:54:30about it i mean to ask adela why would someone like the duke come to stanford in the first place
00:54:37well stanford is his hometown the king dispatched him here to oversee the building of a new fort
00:54:43the real reason is his parents he was separated from them when he was a child even this banquet i
00:54:50hear is all for them must be good noble people to rear such a fine man like the duke we must make a good
00:54:58impression
00:55:13how did those peasants get in
00:55:27this banquet i've arranged it all for you i'll introduce you to everyone shortly
00:55:33our third don't just what do you mean for us mother i'm serious this is all for you but
00:55:43how could you arrange all this how much money did you spend money has nothing to do with it father
00:55:50i just want to see you happy we are happy truly happy we're finally all together again
00:55:56john john i thought you told them to get lost why are they back
00:56:09john i thought you told them to get lost why are they back damn low lives
00:56:15they must have tailed us in i knew those ill-bred dogs would go away that easily scoundrels all
00:56:22mrs moore rest easy this banquet is held on the duke's orders and father asked me to see that our
00:56:31guests enjoy themselves i have every authority to throw them out come
00:56:39who let you in
00:56:54who let you in you must be lost peasant this is the duke's banquet not the gruel kitchen
00:57:01i suggest you turn around immediately and i suggest you shut your mouth
00:57:05this is my manor my father is hosting it under direct orders of the duke you have no place to
00:57:14speak here and you you must be the bitch that john was engaged to i'll have you know john is going to
00:57:23be a noble you'll have no way into his home unless you'd like to be our maid once we marry

00:57:39to lady adela like this apologize right now i owe her nothing of the sort she is the one who's courting
00:57:46an engaged man i told your parents and your disgusting beggar of a brother i called off the engagement
00:57:55you're not good enough for me you're wrong it's you who isn't good enough for me
00:58:01i would never marry a man with such a fickle heart
00:58:03who would abandon his fiancee just to chase after some harlot's coin
00:58:12you dirty bitch that's what you get for talking to my son like that
00:58:20how dare you raise your hands to my daughter how dare she insult my son you're right mother
