00:00:00Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Mercia is at war. Every man must stand and fight.
00:00:08No! No! No! Please! Please!
00:00:13I don't want to go to war! Spare me!
00:00:19I'm scared, Arthur. Will they take you and Papa away too?
00:00:24No, they won't. Okay?
00:00:27I got something for both of you. I had these blessed by the church today.
00:00:34This one is for you, Arthur. And this one, Anna, is for you.
00:00:42May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:00:49Thank you, Mom.
00:00:52I love you.
00:00:56Mama?
00:00:57Yes?
00:00:58My belly hurts. I think I need to go potty.
00:01:01I see.
00:01:03Yes.
00:01:04Wait, Mama. It's Papa's birthday today.
00:01:07I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef. Just a little bit.
00:01:14I'm sorry, but we can't afford beef. Maybe we could have chicken. Your favorite chicken pie.
00:01:29Huzzah! Thank you, Mom. I love you.
00:01:33I love you.
00:01:39Bye!

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