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 has been sealed.
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, clouded 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.
00:00:57Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:01:04Every man must stand and fight.
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?
00:01:23No, they won't.
00:01:26Okay?
00:01:27I got something for both of you.
00:01:31I had these blessed by the church today.
00:01:34This one is for you, Arthur.
00:01:39And this one, Anna, is for you.
00:01:43May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:01:49Thank you, Mom.
00:01:50I love you.
00:01:55Mama?
00:01:56Yes?
00:01:57My belly hurts.
00:01:58I think I need to go potty.
00:02:01I see.
00:02:03Yes, I...
00:02:04Wait, Mama.
00:02:05It's Papa's birthday today.
00:02:07I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef.
00:02:13Just a little bit.
00:02:14Okay.
00:02:20I'm sorry, but we 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!
00:02:39Bye!

00:02:50Bye!
00:02:51Bye!
00:02:52Bye!
00:02:57Every man must stand and fight.
00:02:59Take him.
00:03:00Stop!
00:03:01No!
00:03:02I'm only 13!
00:03:03Let me go!

00:03:45Mother!
00:03:46Mother!
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 hurt.
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.
00:04:58If 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 I 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.
00:05:28Comet 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.
00:05:47Arthur.
00:05:47Arthur.
00:05:51Where are you?
00:05:52You mustn't do this to yourself.
00:06:22I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:06:30Your Majesty.
00:06:32Nothing escapes you.
00:06:34Nothing does escape me.
00:06:35Which 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.
00:06:52Go, my boy.
00:06:56You'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.
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?
00:07:20I won't let you down, sir.
00:07:30I miss you.
00:07:34Robert, my sweet nephew, here.
00:07:36All 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.
00:08:00Okay.
00:08:02Robert, maybe you can ask the Duke to help me find my son.
00:08:06I've heard that the Duke is a great knight in battle,
00:08:08so perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with his necklace.
00:08:12Maybe he knows my Arthur.
00:08:14Have you lost your wits?
00:08:17Ask the Duke for help.
00:08:19Who 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.
00:08:28You...
00:08:28It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:08:42Don't blame other people for your own negligence.
00:08:44It is my fault.
00:08:45I should have never let him out of my sight.
00:08:47I regret it every single day.
00:08:50But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages,
00:08:53you would help me find my son.
00:08:55I told you, not today.
00:08:59The Duke could be here any second.
00:09:02Get lost before he sees your ugly face.
00:09:08The Duke is here.
00:09:10Go.
00:09:10Get.
00:09:21That's the Duke.
00:09:23He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.
00:09:25A king treats me like a son.
00:09:28A king treats me like a son.
00:09:55Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:10:14Welcome, Your Grace.
00:10:16Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:10:19We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?
00:10:22Your Grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.
00:10:26I beg for your forgiveness.
00:10:28It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.
00:10:31You are too kind, Your Grace.
00:10:33I've returned to find my family.
00:10:35Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:10:38I shall have them brought here at once.
00:10:40My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:10:43But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.
00:10:52May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:10:58Could this be me?
00:11:09Find who this belongs to.
00:11:10I will see to this personally.
00:11:15Mom, where are you?
00:11:18The Duke of Mercia has come to the baron's manor.
00:11:25The king must hold him in high regard.
00:11:28They say he's looking for his family.
00:11:30Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:11:33Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family,
00:11:38then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my author.
00:11:42Don't be stupid.
00:11:47This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:11:51How could a man like that be your son?
00:11:54Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:11:57Stop being delusional.
00:12:01No.
00:12:02I must see the Duke.
00:12:05Have you lost your mind?
00:12:12I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:12:38Did someone call my name just now?
00:12:39Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:12:43No 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.
00:12:56Robert just became butler.
00:12:58I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:13:01I swear, that was my son.
00:13:03That was Arthur.
00:13:04You have truly gone mad.
00:13:06That was the Duke, the second most important man in the entire kingdom.
00:13:12How could a man of such standing be your son?
00:13:17He looked just like him.
00:13:19I swear that...
00:13:21Ow!
00:13:22Ow!
00:13:23Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:13:26Calling the Duke your son?
00:13:28What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:13:31Please, just let me speak to him.
00:13:34Let me show him this.
00:13:35Ow!
00:13:47Robert!
00:13:50Robert!
00:13:51Don't!
00:13:52Not while the Duke is here.
00:13:54Robert!
00:13:56What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:58Anna!
00:14:01Give me that back I needed to find Arthur.
00:14:03Worthless piece of junk.
00:14:05Robert, we're a family.
00:14:07We're supposed to help each other.
00:14:10What you've done.
00:14:11Family?
00:14:12It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:14:16My son has risen up through the ranks,
00:14:19while yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:14:23It's pathetic, really.
00:14:25I know, but I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.
00:14:30You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:14:36You never even thought to look for him.
00:14:38You liar!
00:14:40You cheat!
00:14:41Give me back my coin!
00:14:43Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:14:46In this, say goodbye to your son.
00:14:49Mother!
00:14:58Mother, no!
00:15:02Mother, no!
00:15:03Mother, no!
00:15:08Come, Mother.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:09Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:15:14We'll never be able to find Arthur enough with this.
00:15:17It's all right.
00:15:17It's all right, Mother. Have you forgotten?
00:15:19I carry one, too.
00:15:22Oh, Anna.
00:15:23Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,
00:15:27I'll see what I can do.
00:15:28Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:15:47Your Grace, my Lord.
00:15:58Oh, oh, oh, forgive me, Your Grace.
00:16:12Useless girl.
00:16:15Your Grace, are you all right?
00:16:17I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:16:19No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:16:22Your kindness humbles us all.
00:16:25Well, don't just sit there.
00:16:27Feed yourself up.
00:16:32Why does she seem so familiar?
00:16:35Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:16:41How could Robert do this to you?
00:16:45He beat you.
00:16:48You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:16:50Oh, Carl.
00:16:52You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:16:55It's only going to get worse.
00:16:57Now that Robert is butler to the barium?
00:17:02Mother?
00:17:03Father?
00:17:06This place is so familiar to me.
00:17:09And it's strategic.
00:17:10I'll build a new fort here.
00:17:14See to it that all the families along this road are asked to leave.
00:17:17And compensate them well.
00:17:19I will start the process right away.
00:17:20Mother.
00:17:20Mother?
00:17:27Mother.
00:17:28What did the Duke say?
00:17:30Did he...
00:17:32Mother.
00:17:35What?
00:17:36I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:17:40No.
00:17:41He does resemble him, yes.
00:17:44but he didn't recognize the necklace no i'm so sorry i thought it was him i wanted to come back

00:51:40drop the matter and i'll let you leave
00:51:46we'll go but best you remember it is the wellesleys who called off this engagement

00:53:22like i said mother don't worry you'll see
00:53:37lady adela this is all very splendid you must introduce us to the duke when he arrives
00:53:44oh mrs moore of course as the baron of stanford my father is very close to the duke it's likely he
00:53:51was the one to recommend john in the first place of course the duke would love to meet you i cannot
00:53:57believe it a noble title lady adela you are simply full of surprises you are the best match for john no
00:54:05doubt about it what do you mean to ask adela why would someone like the duke and stanford in the first
00:54:11place where stanford is his hometown the king dispatched him here to oversee the building of
00:54:18a new fort the real reason is his parents he was separated from them when he was a child
00:54:24even this banquet i hear is all for them must be good noble people to rear such a fine man like the duke
00:54:32we must make a good impression
