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.
00:01:19I'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.
00:01:42May 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.
00:02:18I'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.

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