00:00:00He is taken by the Baron to the war.
00:00:02We must find him.
00:00:04Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:00:07I've returned to find my family.
00:00:09The Duke is coming.
00:00:10This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:00:14Your son is not coming back.
00:00:17No!
00:00:18Because he's dead.
00:00:20It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:00:23I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:00:25He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:00:27Your land has been sealed.
00:00:29No, this is our family home!
00:00:31Sign it, now!
00:00:32No.
00:00:33Stop it!
00:00:37Your son was taken, you say?
00:00:38Could this be me?
00:00:40My memories are faint, cladded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:00:43Say goodbye to your son.
00:00:45That woman...
00:00:46Possibly the Duke is my Arthur.
00:00:49The Duke of Mercia
00:00:55Once upon a time, the kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:00:59Every man must stand and fight.
00:01:02No!
00:01:03No!
00:01:04No!
00:01:05No!
00:01:06No!
00:01:07Please!
00:01:08Please!
00:01:09I don't want to go to war!
00:01:10Spare me!
00:01:11I'm scared, Arthur.
00:01:12Will they take you and Papa away too?
00:01:14No, they won't.
00:01:15Okay?
00:01:16I got something for both of you.
00:01:17I had these blessed by the church today.
00:01:20This one is for you, Arthur.
00:01:21And this one, Anna, is for you.
00:01:23May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:01:41Thank you, Mom.
00:01:43family. Thank you, Mom. I love you. Mama? Yes? My belly hurts. I think I need to go potty. I see.
00:01:58Yes, sir. Wait, Mama. It's Papa's birthday today. I was wondering if I could have some coins so
00:02:05I could get a little, little bit of beef. Just a little bit.
00:02:13I'm sorry, sir. We can't afford beef. Maybe we could have a chicken. Your favorite chicken
00:02:23pie. Huzzah! Thank you, Mom. I love you. I love you. Bye!
00:02:43Every man must stand and fight. Take him. Stop. No, I'm only 13. Let me go. Mama!
00:03:00Arthur! Arthur! Arthur should be here by now. Where is he? Arthur!
00:03:14Arthur!
00:03:26Mama!
00:03:30Wait. Have you seen my son? Have you seen Arthur? The baron's men took him.
00:03:53What? They're marching him to the border. They're sending him to war.
00:03:56No. No. No. No. No. He...
00:04:11Jane!
00:04:12You're hurt!
00:04:14Girl, they took him.
00:04:17We have to get him. He's only 13. He wants to arrive on the battlefield.
00:04:21Yes, please. Let's go.
00:04:24No? Have you seen a boy? Have you seen Arthur?
00:04:26Have you seen our son?
00:04:27Right here with the soldier.
00:04:30Hey, are you soldiers of the Baron?
00:04:32Have you seen a boy? A strong lad.
00:04:34Brown hair, about this tall.
00:04:36The boy we took from the market, is it?
00:04:38Yes.
00:04:39Yes, that's him. Where is he?
00:04:42Your boy is either dead or going to be soon.
00:04:44He can't be. You're lying.
00:04:46Away with you, woman.
00:04:47Give me back my son.
00:04:48The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old.
00:04:52Arthur's 13.
00:04:54Please!
00:04:57If you didn't want him gone, you should have kept him at home.
00:05:02You have no one to blame but yourself.
00:05:05It's all my fault I killed him.
00:05:08I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself.
00:05:11Shut up, wench!
00:05:12Or I'll make you join him real soon!
00:05:14Comet, now!
00:05:18Foolish as they are, we can't just kill as we wish!
00:05:23Comet boy from filth like you?
00:05:25He was doomed from the moment he met us!
00:05:32He's right.
00:05:34It's all my fault.
00:05:35I shouldn't have let him alone.
00:05:37You mustn't do this to yourself.
00:05:39We will bring our boy home.
00:05:41Arthur!
00:05:42Oh, what?
00:05:42Arthur!
00:05:46Where are you?
00:05:47I don't know.
00:06:17I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:06:26Your Majesty, nothing escapes you.
00:06:29Nothing does escape me, which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford.
00:06:34You'll oversee the building of a new fort to strengthen our borders.
00:06:39The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.
00:06:43But Your Majesty, my duty as a Duke is to protect...
00:06:45Go, go.
00:06:47Go, my boy.
00:06:51You've fought enough battles for me and did a great service to the kingdom of Mercia.
00:06:58This is why I gave you the title of Duke.
00:07:03Go back to Stamford.
00:07:05Find your family.
00:07:07They would be so proud to see the man you've become.
00:07:11And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?
00:07:15I won't let you down, sir.
00:07:25I miss you.
00:07:26Robert, my sweet nephew, here.
00:07:32All my wages.
00:07:36I'm depending on you.
00:07:37You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin.
00:07:41I beg of you.
00:07:42Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive.
00:07:47I'll look into it, but not today.
00:07:50The Duke is coming to Stamford.
00:07:52Everything has to be perfect.
00:07:54The Duke is coming.
00:07:57Robert, maybe you can ask the Duke to help me find my son.
00:08:01I've heard that the Duke is a great knight in battle, so perhaps you could ask him to see
00:08:05if he recognizes this boy with this necklace.
00:08:07Maybe he knows my Arthur.
00:08:09Have you lost your wits?
00:08:12Ask the Duke for help.
00:08:14Who do you think you are?
00:08:15Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the Duke for such trifles.
00:08:20Robert, please just have him take a look.
00:08:22It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:08:37Don't blame other people for your own negligence.
00:08:39It is my fault.
00:08:40I should have never let him out of my sight.
00:08:42I regret it every single day.
00:08:45But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages, you would help me find my son.
00:08:50I told you, not today.
00:08:54The Duke could be here any second.
00:08:57Get lost before he sees your ugly face.
00:09:03The Duke is here.
00:09:05Go.
00:09:05Get.
00:09:16That's the Duke.
00:09:18He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.
00:09:20A king treats him like a son.
00:09:23A king treats him like a son.
00:09:50Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:10:06Welcome, Your Grace.
00:10:11Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:10:14We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?
00:10:17Your Grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.
00:10:21I beg for your forgiveness.
00:10:23It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.
00:10:26You are too kind, Your Grace.
00:10:28I've returned to find my family.
00:10:30Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:10:33I shall have them brought here at once.
00:10:35My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:10:40But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.
00:10:43May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:10:53Could this be me?
00:11:04Find who this belongs to.
00:11:05I will see to this personally.
00:11:10Mom, where are you?
00:11:13The Duke of Mercia has come to the baron's manor.
00:11:20The king must hold him in high regard.
00:11:23They say he's looking for his family.
00:11:25Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:11:28Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family,
00:11:33then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my author.
00:11:40Don't be stupid.
00:11:42This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:11:46How could a man like that be your son?
00:11:49Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:11:52Stop being delusional.
00:11:56No.
00:11:57I must see the Duke.
00:12:00Have you lost your mind?
00:12:12I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:12:22Did someone call my name just now?
00:12:35Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:12:38No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.
00:12:41What were you thinking?
00:12:47Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:12:51Robert just became butler.
00:12:53I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:12:56I swear that was my son.
00:12:58That was Arthur.
00:12:59You have truly gone mad.
00:13:02That was the Duke.
00:13:03The second most important man in the entire kingdom.
00:13:07How could a man of such standing be your son?
00:13:12He looked just like him.
00:13:14I swear that...
00:13:15Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:13:21Calling the Duke your son?
00:13:23What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:13:26Please.
00:13:27Just let me speak to him.
00:13:29Let me show him this.
00:13:42Robert!
00:13:45Robert!
00:13:46Don't!
00:13:47Not while the Duke is here.
00:13:49Robert!
00:13:51What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:53Anna.
00:13:55Give me that back I needed to find Arthur.
00:13:58Worthless piece of junk.
00:14:00Robert.
00:14:01We're family.
00:14:02We're supposed to help each other.
00:14:05What you've done?
00:14:06Family?
00:14:07It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:14:11My son has risen up through the ranks.
00:14:14While yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:14:18It's pathetic, really.
00:14:20I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.
00:14:25And you...
00:14:26You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:14:31You never even thought to look for him.
00:14:33You liar.
00:14:35You cheat.
00:14:36Give me back my coin.
00:14:38Don't touch me with your filthy hands.
00:14:41And this?
00:14:43Say goodbye to your son.
00:14:44No!
00:14:49No!
00:14:52Mother.
00:14:53Mother, no!
00:14:58Mother, no!
00:14:59Mother, no!
00:15:00No!
00:15:03Come, Mother.
00:15:04Let's go.
00:15:07Oh, Anna.
00:15:08What have I done?
00:15:09We'll never be able to find Arthur enough with this.
00:15:12It's all right.
00:15:12It's all right, Mother.
00:15:13Have you forgotten?
00:15:14I carry one, too.
00:15:17Oh, Anna.
00:15:18Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,
00:15:22I'll see what I can do.
00:15:23Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:15:42Your Grace, my Lord.
00:15:45My Lord.
00:15:53Forgive me, Your Grace.
00:16:07Useless girl.
00:16:09Your Grace, are you all right?
00:16:12I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:16:14No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:16:17Your kindness humbles us all.
00:16:20Well, don't just sit there.
00:16:22Beat yourself up.
00:16:27Why does she seem so familiar?
00:16:30The scene is that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:16:36How could Robert do this to you?
00:16:40He beat you.
00:16:43You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:16:45Oh, Carl.
00:16:47You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:16:50It's only going to get worse.
00:16:52Now that Robert is butler to the barium?
00:16:57Mother?
00:16:58Father?
00:17:01This place is so familiar to me.
00:17:04And it's strategic.
00:17:07I'll build the new fort here.
00:17:09See to it that all the families along this road are asked to leave.
00:17:12And compensate them well.
00:17:13I will start the process right away.
00:17:22Mother.
00:17:23Yeah.
00:17:24What did the Duke say?
00:17:25Did he...
00:17:27Mother.
00:17:30What?
00:17:31I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:17:35No.
00:17:36He does.
00:17:37He does resemble him, yes.
00:17:39But he didn't recognize the necklace.
00:17:42No.
00:17:44I'm so sorry.
00:17:47I thought it was him.
00:17:49I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.
00:17:51I know at least you'll sleep easier knowing this is by your side.
00:17:59Oh, your grace.
00:18:08I dare say you look as handsome as ever.
00:18:11These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:18:19Leave me.
00:18:19I wish to explore the city by myself.
00:18:22See if anything can jog my memory.
00:18:24Yes, your grace.
00:18:34Well, it must be Anna.
00:18:35She must have forgot something.
00:18:38Anna?
00:18:41Yeah.
00:18:45What are you all doing here?
00:18:48Especially after what you did to my wife.
00:18:50Long time no see, brother.
00:18:52Still living in this hovel, huh?
00:18:54Would you like some bread?
00:18:57We were just about to sit down for lunch.
00:18:59So I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:19:02You call this food?
00:19:04The Baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.
00:19:12But fortune favors the undeserving.
00:19:15Now you'll be able to buy some real food.
00:19:19What do you mean, Laura?
00:19:20Tell them, Robert.
00:19:22It really is a shack.
00:19:32But luckily it'll be gone soon.
00:19:35Your land has been seized.
00:19:37This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.
00:19:40No.
00:19:40To bolster our defenses.
00:19:42The order came directly from the Duke himself.
00:19:45No.
00:19:45But you will be well compensated for the trouble.
00:19:50What?
00:19:51Just sign here and you'll receive 20 gold pieces.
00:19:56As your brother, I should be entitled to half.
00:19:59But as you have no son, and I have a son, I ought to take two thirds.
00:20:04What?
00:20:04No, this is our family home.
00:20:06What?
00:20:07No.
00:20:08If Arthur returns, how will he find his way home?
00:20:11She's right.
00:20:11We won't give up our land, not for 20 gold coins, not for nothing.
00:20:15Then you are dafter than I thought.
00:20:17Let me remind you, your son is not coming back because he's dead.
00:20:24No.
00:20:25No, no, no.
00:20:25You hold your tongue, Arthur will return.
00:20:28And we will remain here until he does.
00:20:30We won't give up hope, not for any penny coin.
00:20:33You don't get a say.
00:20:35The order comes from above.
00:20:36Enough of this insolence.
00:20:38Leave my house at once.
00:20:39Leave my house.
00:20:39Carl.
00:20:40Carl.
00:20:41Carl, you're right.
00:20:47We are family.
00:20:49We are supposed to support each other, and if you can't do that, then leave.
00:20:53Then you've chosen death.
00:20:55So be it.
00:20:59This place really does feel so familiar.
00:21:05What?
00:21:08What are you doing?
00:21:09Ah!
00:21:11I'll tell you this one last time.
00:21:15Sign a damn contract, or I'll beat you to death.
00:21:18You are his brother.
00:21:19How can you do this to him?
00:21:21No man as useless as him deserves to be my brother.
00:21:24Oh!
00:21:25Ah!
00:21:26Oh!
00:21:27Oh!
00:21:28Sign it, now!
00:21:30No!
00:21:30No!
00:21:30No!
00:21:31No!
00:21:32No!
00:21:32No!
00:21:32Ah!
00:21:33Ah!
00:21:33Ah!
00:21:33Ah!
00:21:34Ah!
00:21:34Ah!
00:21:35Ah!
00:21:35Ah!
00:21:36Ah!
00:21:36Ah!
00:21:37Ah!
00:21:37Ah!
00:21:38Ah!
00:21:38Ah!
00:21:39Ah!
00:21:39Ah!
00:21:40Ah!
00:21:41Ah!
00:21:41Ah!
00:21:42Ah!
00:21:42Ah!
00:21:43Ah!
00:21:43Ah!
00:21:44Ah!
00:21:44Ah!
00:21:45Ah!
00:21:45Ah!
00:21:46Ah!
00:21:47Ah!
00:21:47Ah!
00:21:48Ah!
00:21:48Ah!
00:21:49Ah!
00:21:49Ah!
00:21:50Ah!
00:21:50Ah!
00:21:51Ah!
00:21:51Ah!
00:21:52Ah!
00:21:53Ah!
00:21:54Ah!
00:21:55Ah!
00:21:56Ah!
00:21:57Ah!
00:21:59What's a peasant like you doing here?
00:22:01Cross me, and I'll beat you up too.
00:22:04You know who my son works for? The Baron.
00:22:06We're here to seize this land off his orders.
00:22:08So you better stay out of our affairs.
00:22:10So you're the Baron's henchman.
00:22:12I told him to see that every family is compensated fairly.
00:22:16And this is how you choose to do it?
00:22:18Good folks, you have my word. I will make this matter right.
00:22:29Lord Benjamin requests your land to build a new fort.
00:22:32But we will provide whatever is necessary for you.
00:22:35Do you know the Baron? Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?
00:22:39All we ask is that we remain here. We cannot leave our home, please.
00:22:43Rest assured, you'll be well compensated if you choose to depart.
00:22:48No, we don't want coin. This is my son's home.
00:22:52If it's torn down, he will never find his way home.
00:22:55Your son was taken, you say?
00:22:57Yes. He was only 13 years old.
00:23:00Taken far too young, conscripted by the Baron's soldiers.
00:23:04If we leave, he'll never find his way back.
00:23:08Please. Please, I beg of you.
00:23:12I beg of you.
00:23:15Is his pendant?
00:23:17Yes. If it was a token, a promise that my children and I would always be family together.
00:23:27This one is for you, Arthur.
00:23:33What?
00:23:35Mother.
00:23:46Arthur.
00:23:48Oh, is it you?
00:23:51It's me, Mom.
00:23:52Mom.
00:23:53I've come home.
00:23:54My boy.
00:23:55Ten long years.
00:23:57We searched for you.
00:23:59And finally, you've come back to us.
00:24:02I'm sorry.
00:24:04I've been a bad son.
00:24:06But I promise, I will give you the life you deserve from here on out.
00:24:11Please forgive me.
00:24:12Forgive me.
00:24:21Can we stop with the theatrics?
00:24:23Ten years have passed and cousin Arthur returns as a peasant.
00:24:27I'd cry too if this were my son.
00:24:30Laura and George, do you see?
00:24:31Arthur has come home.
00:24:33What's there to cheer for?
00:24:34A beggar for a son?
00:24:36Or a thief, more likely.
00:24:38Look at him.
00:24:39Wandering around, starving and desperate.
00:24:43I don't care what you say.
00:24:45But my son has come home and he is everything to me.
00:24:49Let's go inside and I will make your favorite roast.
00:24:52And George and Laura, I would prefer if you left.
00:24:56We would like to celebrate alone as a family.
00:24:59We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool.
00:25:06No, Robert, surely you understand.
00:25:08You're family.
00:25:09We'd like to celebrate.
00:25:10This low life doesn't deserve anything.
00:25:16I'm done arguing with you at this pigsty.
00:25:19Don't you point your finger at me.
00:25:21I could do much worse.
00:25:23Or do you want me to get my fiancee so you can beg for her forgiveness instead?
00:25:27Remember, I'm engaged to the prestigious Lady Edith.
00:25:32If she finds out about this, you'll all get a good beating.
00:25:36Go away!
00:25:40This is a joyous day, and I do not wish to spend it squabbling with you ilk.
00:25:51Kneel before us, apologize, and be gone.
00:25:55You son of a whore.
00:26:00I'm the Baron's butler.
00:26:02The highest on his staff.
00:26:04You think I'd kneel to a common maid?
00:26:08You better show your respect.
00:26:10Now will you go?
00:26:11You scum!
00:26:12I'll have you know just how much I am worth.
00:26:13Inform Lady Edith.
00:26:14Ask her to come, won't you?
00:26:15Yes, Mr. Wellesley.
00:26:16Well, well, well.
00:26:17You fools have chosen not to take the gold.
00:26:18But it was the Baron's orders.
00:26:19Your hovel must come down.
00:26:20Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?
00:26:21That's Baron Stamford to you.
00:26:22That's Baron Stamford to you.
00:26:23On the contrary.
00:26:24I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.
00:26:27Are you mad?
00:26:28Who do you think you are?
00:26:29The duke, pulling rank like you're anything special?
00:26:32I dare say I'm special enough that even Lord Benjamin would kneel before me.
00:26:36I'm really honest.
00:26:37I am really not willing to believe you should be in peace and peace and peace, too.
00:26:39Only in peace would you be here?
00:26:40I'm you?
00:26:41How are you?
00:26:42A very good thing I love being able to thank you, Mr. Wellesley.
00:26:45Well, well, you fools have chosen not to take the gold,
00:26:48But it was the Baron's orders!
00:26:50Your hovel must come down.
00:26:52Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?
00:26:54That's Baron Stamford to you?
00:26:55Benjamin would kneel before me what's that I hear about the Baron Lord

00:58:42Get out or we'll throw you out with force.
00:58:45It is you who ought to be thrown out.
00:58:52Hmm.
00:58:52What a pretty money-sucking leech.
00:58:58Awatella.
00:58:59I'm disgusted by the implications.
00:59:02Hey, despite her features,
00:59:05a maid that cleans chamber parts all day
00:59:08is more fit to marry a stable boy.
00:59:10Say that again and I'll make you pay.
00:59:13Oh no.
00:59:14What are you going to do?
00:59:16Hit me?
00:59:18Well, come on then.
00:59:20Have at it.
00:59:24Well, I do say I think this was the first time
00:59:27I heard someone ask for it.
00:59:29But I think we all heard him clearly enough.
00:59:34You villain!
00:59:35You actually asked for it.
00:59:38I obliged.
00:59:44Lord Benjamin, the Duke has arrived.
00:59:47He's here already.
00:59:48We have to go.
00:59:50You asked for it.
00:59:51I am to be a noble
00:59:53and you will not offend me again.
00:59:55Why should I care?
00:59:57I'm sure Lord Benjamin would understand.
00:59:59Do not speak my father's name.
01:00:01You're dead.
01:00:02My father will see to it when he arrives.
01:00:04On your knees.
01:00:06And I demand you apologize to John now.
01:00:09And your filthy parents too.
01:00:11Down!
01:00:12Who do you think you are barking orders at me?
01:00:14Don't think you're so high and mighty
01:00:15just because you followed us in.
01:00:17You've no right to speak to my son
01:00:19or Lady Adela like this.
01:00:21Don't you know how much I suffered
01:00:23being betrothed to your dirty whore of a sister?
01:00:26I will not let you embarrass me again.
01:00:31We've been gracious enough letting the matter go
01:00:34yet you shameless rats won't stop bothering us.
01:00:38Away!
01:00:38Off with you!
01:00:39Oh Mrs. Moore.
01:00:40I have a much better idea.
01:00:43Let's add a few tears to their teary reunion.
01:00:46Guards!
01:00:50Execute him!
01:00:51No!
01:00:52I want to watch as I lose their precious son.
01:00:56Again.
01:00:57Oh Lady Adela I think if that's the case
01:01:00we ought to keep him alive.
01:01:02He's already a useless beggar.
01:01:04We ought to break his legs and keep him that way.
01:01:07Lisa!
01:01:08Lady Moore!
01:01:09Please!
01:01:10I apologize.
01:01:12I'll have Arthur repent.
01:01:13Right away!
01:01:13Yes please.
01:01:15Pardon us.
01:01:15Arthur.
01:01:16Please I beg of you apologize.
01:01:19Please.
01:01:20You've enough wit to be scared
01:01:22but it's too late.
01:01:24It's not my fault you've been grating on my nerves.
01:01:26I've nothing left for pity.
01:01:28Seems like you have quite a loud bark with no bite now.
01:01:33What did you just say to me?
01:01:36Mother.
01:01:37Father.
01:01:38I already told you.
01:01:39This banquet is for you.
01:01:41In honor of us all being together again.
01:01:43You have every right to enjoy yourself.
01:01:46And my sister was correct.
01:01:47You ought to apologize for your poor behavior.
01:01:50And I ought to have you thrown out.
01:01:51Soon.
01:01:53You'll be kneeling before us.
01:01:54Begging for the forgiveness.
01:01:55We have every right to withhold.
01:01:57A pity.
01:01:58To have a son like him.
01:02:00Imagine.
01:02:01Spending ten years to find your son.
01:02:03Just to have him turn out like this.
01:02:05The real pity is what will be happening to you soon.
01:02:08I think I'll be quite happy in the future.
01:02:09Oh, yes.
01:02:12Happy.
01:02:13Very happy, I imagine, with your legs mangled.
01:02:16Crawling on the ground.
01:02:18Oh, and your poor parents.
01:02:20I'm sure they'll be very joyous over such a sight.
01:02:24Seize them!
01:02:25No.
01:02:26No.
01:02:26Please, no.
01:02:28Presenting the honorable Lord Benjamin, Baron of Stamford.
01:02:31Oh, you're in for it now.
01:02:36Lord Benjamin is the most powerful man in Stamford.
01:02:39And he's backed by the Duke, whose authority is second only to the King.
01:02:44You poor, poor souls.
01:02:46We'll see what the Duke has to say when he hears about this.
01:02:50I reckon you'll all be beaten to death in the dungeons.
01:02:52Don't waste your breath, Madam.
01:02:54A commoner like him can't even fathom the great power the Duke has.
01:02:58Of course, Lady Adela.
01:03:00It'd be an honor for him to lay eyes on the gentlemen
01:03:02before he crushes them like the rats they are.
01:03:06Oh, no.
01:03:08I can't wait.
01:03:10How unfortunate it had to come to this.
01:03:12Yes.
01:03:13How unfortunate it is for you.
01:03:16Lord Benjamin is my father.
01:03:18And once I tell him what you've done to me and my dear John,
01:03:23he'll have you all beheaded.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26Oh, how lucky it is to be so simple-minded.
01:03:30You, half-dead cauders.
01:03:33And you, harlot.
01:03:35Huh.
01:03:36Any last words?
01:03:38No teary goodbyes?
01:03:41Or do you wish to die with him?
01:03:43John, please.
01:03:45Arthur was just impulsive.
01:03:46Please put in a good word for him.
01:03:48Get your dirty hands off of me!
01:03:50You scoundrel!
01:03:51I'll do it again!
01:03:56You scoundrel!
01:03:58I'll do it again!
01:04:01John!
01:04:01No!
01:04:02My darling boy!
01:04:03How dare you!
01:04:05Touch my parents again, and your family will pay.
01:04:08Let it be known, this night was meant to be a joyous one,
01:04:11and I did not wish to taint it with strife and bloodshed.
01:04:15I would have let you go, as awful as your behavior was to me,
01:04:18but you insulted my virtuous sister,
01:04:20and raised your hand to my saintly mother and father!
01:04:22Your actions beg for punishment,
01:04:25and I am happy to see to it.
01:04:29Let it be known,
01:04:30I plan to exile the Moore family from the good town of Stamford.
01:04:37Oh, you've gone mad.
01:04:39Truly mad.
01:04:41Lady Adela, have your men restrain him for the safety of your guests,
01:04:45and have him flogged in the dungeon.
01:04:50What's this again about the dungeons?
01:04:52Lord Benjamin, you've finally come.
01:04:57My lord, we've been troubled so by these lowly peasants.
01:05:01Father, it's them.
01:05:02I say we take them to the dungeons.
01:05:08This is the Duke's banquet, Adela.
01:05:11I will not tolerate your antics.
01:05:14Pardon me, Father.
01:05:15It seems I've been lax,
01:05:17for these lowly, dirty servants have snuck in.
01:05:20Lowly, dirty servants?
01:05:22Yes, Father.
01:05:27The Mr. and Mrs. are servants,
01:05:28and so is the daughter.
01:05:30And he's a beggar.
01:05:32A vile, disgusting man.
01:05:35Perhaps we could send them away with some scraps from the kitchens.
01:05:38I dare say be better than anything they've ever tasted.
01:05:41Oh, Father, please allow me to see it.
01:05:43I'll have their bones broken and left out for the dogs
01:05:46for disturbing the Duke's banquet.
01:05:48Silence!
01:05:51But Lord Benjamin, why?
01:05:54Duke of Mercia, Arthur.
01:05:57Your Grace.
01:05:58At your service.
01:05:59Ailed in his grace.
01:06:02The Duke, Arthur.
01:06:11What?
01:06:14That's him.
01:06:15He's Duke Arthur.
01:06:19That's him.
01:06:21He's Duke Arthur.
01:06:22Lord Benjamin,
01:06:26I was promised a warm welcome.
01:06:28What is all of this?
01:06:30I'll see to it, Your Grace.
01:06:32My boy.
01:06:34What did the parents say?
01:06:35Is it Duke Arthur that he just called you?
01:06:38What?
01:06:39Sir.
01:06:41Madam.
01:06:42Please.
01:06:44Benjamin.
01:06:46At your service.
01:06:47I don't understand.
01:06:49Are you really?
01:06:50Yes, Father.
01:06:52What?
01:06:53I'm the Duke.
01:06:55My boy?
01:06:57The Duke?
01:06:58That's my son.
01:07:00That's my son.
01:07:01He's a Duke.
01:07:03What did I say?
01:07:04My brother is more noble than anyone.
01:07:06Lord Benjamin,
01:07:09are you certain he's the Duke?
01:07:12Father,
01:07:13you said the Duke was a great man.
01:07:16You must be mistaken.
01:07:18You stupid girl.
01:07:20How could I be wrong?
01:07:22And you,
01:07:24you ought to be ashamed.
01:07:26How dare you do this to his grace,
01:07:28Duke Arthur?
01:07:29No!
01:07:30It can't be!
01:07:31Father, tell me it's a joke.
01:07:33It simply can't be!
01:07:34Get on your knees, girl!
01:07:36And maybe he'll forgive you.
01:07:40No!
01:07:41You said that the Duke was going to give John a title.
01:07:44Why would John call off the engagement to his sister?
01:07:48Maybe this will get through your thick skull.
01:07:52He is the Duke!
01:07:53The one and only.
01:07:55Guards,
01:07:56take her away until she's learned her lesson.
01:08:02Guards,
01:08:03take her away until she's learned her lesson.
01:08:06No!
01:08:07Father,
01:08:08no,
01:08:08it can't be!
01:08:09It can't be the Duke!
01:08:10He's simply the enemy!
01:08:15Your Grace,
01:08:16I must apologize.
01:08:17That's enough.
01:08:19Your family has played your hand for it.
01:08:21Duke Arthur, sir.
01:08:22Why, certainly.
01:08:25My son is still engaged to the Wellesley's daughter.
01:08:28Our connection is nothing to stop at.
01:08:31Mother,
01:08:32my brother-in-law,
01:08:33a Duke,
01:08:34will be even richer.
01:08:35My brother-in-law,
01:08:39a Duke,
01:08:40will be even richer.
01:08:42Will be set for life.
01:08:44Oh,
01:08:44married to the sister of the Duke.
01:08:46Oh, goodness.
01:08:47That must be why you want to give me a noble title.
01:08:50So I can marry Anna.
01:08:52Anna,
01:08:53can you believe it?
01:08:54Your brother,
01:08:55a Duke.
01:08:56What does that have to do with you?
01:08:58It has everything to do with me,
01:09:00darling.
01:09:00You're my fiancé,
01:09:02remember?
01:09:03Don't forget about me
01:09:04just because your brother's a Duke now.
01:09:05You are truly shameless,
01:09:08John.
01:09:08Don't be like that,
01:09:09my dear,
01:09:10darling fiancé.
01:09:11Fiancé,
01:09:12have you forgotten
01:09:12what you just called me?
01:09:14A dirty whore?
01:09:17Only fit to wet his table boy.
01:09:18Isn't that right?
01:09:20Oh, Anna,
01:09:21forgive him,
01:09:21would you?
01:09:22A pettiness
01:09:23that doesn't suit
01:09:24a pretty face like yours.
01:09:26Women like us,
01:09:27we ought to understand
01:09:28our husband's temperaments.
01:09:31My sister,
01:09:32petty,
01:09:33that's rich coming from you.
01:09:35Oh,
01:09:36Duke Arthur,
01:09:37my brother,
01:09:38I must apologize for what I said.
01:09:41I'll apologize to Anna.
01:09:42There is no need.
01:09:44I have no wish to hear
01:09:45anything further from you.
01:09:47The woman has spoken,
01:09:48John.
01:09:48It seems my sister
01:09:50disdains
01:09:50your vile habits.
01:09:52Anna,
01:09:53this is all my fault.
01:09:55We grew up together,
01:09:56didn't we?
01:09:56I loved you.
01:09:58I did.
01:10:00This has all been
01:10:00a big misunderstanding,
01:10:01of course.
01:10:02I'm sure you can forgive me.
01:10:04Please,
01:10:05give me another chance.
01:10:07Yes, dear,
01:10:08just a misunderstanding.
01:10:10Let's put it all
01:10:12behind us now,
01:10:12shall we?
01:10:14Yeah.
01:10:16Forgive you!
01:10:17I don't think I will.
01:10:19It would be a sin
01:10:20to forget what you've done
01:10:21to my mother
01:10:21and father.
01:10:22My brother's title
01:10:23has nothing to do
01:10:25with you.
01:10:25I wish for you
01:10:26to be gone
01:10:27and never come back.
01:10:29Anna,
01:10:30forgive me.
01:10:35You're better than this.
01:10:38Please,
01:10:39forgive me.
01:10:40You're better than this.
01:10:41Leave my sister alone,
01:10:46scum.
01:10:46Your apology means nothing.
01:10:48Please,
01:10:49your grace,
01:10:50Duke Arthur.
01:10:51It's all my fault.
01:10:52I've wronged you.
01:10:53I admit it.
01:10:54I beg your pardon.
01:10:56Mr. Westerly,
01:10:58madame,
01:10:59please ask Arthur
01:11:00to show us mercy.
01:11:02I was betrothed to Anna.
01:11:04I've shown her
01:11:05much kindness.
01:11:07Mother,
01:11:08please ask him
01:11:09to forgive me.
01:11:10I cannot live
01:11:11without Anna.
01:11:13Jane,
01:11:13please.
01:11:14I even got you
01:11:15the job
01:11:16at the Baron's Manor.
01:11:17Are you going
01:11:17to be so cruel
01:11:18as to forget
01:11:19everything I've done
01:11:20for you
01:11:20that John's done
01:11:21for you?
01:11:23A bit of compassion
01:11:24for an old friend?
01:11:26Yes,
01:11:27Mr. Welsie,
01:11:28please.
01:11:29I'll do anything
01:11:29for her.
01:11:30I'll give her
01:11:31whatever she wants.
01:11:32If he just,
01:11:33please forgive
01:11:34my one transgression.
01:11:37How dare you
01:11:38ask for compassion?
01:11:42How dare you
01:11:44ask for compassion?
01:11:45Have you shown
01:11:46any compassion
01:11:46to my father,
01:11:48to my mother?
01:11:49Those ten long years
01:11:50I was gone,
01:11:52did you help them
01:11:52at all?
01:11:53Did you give them
01:11:54any aid?
01:11:55You speak of them
01:11:56as an old friend,
01:11:57as if they have
01:11:58ever forsaken you.
01:12:00But you,
01:12:01had I not been
01:12:01announced as the Duke,
01:12:02you would have
01:12:03kicked them to the ground
01:12:04and spit on their bodies.
01:12:06You called off
01:12:07my sister's engagement
01:12:08for the first
01:12:08noble lady you saw.
01:12:10You do not deserve
01:12:11my mercy.
01:12:12Duke,
01:12:14Arthur,
01:12:15I...
01:12:15Silence!
01:12:16I've seen you
01:12:17at your worst.
01:12:18I've seen how
01:12:19you treated me.
01:12:20My father,
01:12:21my mother,
01:12:22Anna.
01:12:23You are a shameless,
01:12:25filthy villain.
01:12:27Be gone.
01:12:28Lord Benjamin.
01:12:31Yes, sir.
01:12:32Have the Moors
01:12:33removed from the manor.
01:12:38Lord Benjamin.
01:12:40Yes, sir.
01:12:41Have the Moors
01:12:41removed from the manor
01:12:42and forbid anyone
01:12:45from doing business
01:12:46with them
01:12:46in the town of Stanford.
01:12:47Yes, sir.
01:12:48Yes, sir.
01:12:48Much better.
01:12:55Father,
01:12:57mother,
01:12:57Anna,
01:13:00let us enjoy
01:13:01this banquet in peace.
01:13:03Arthur,
01:13:04this banquet
01:13:06is lovely.
01:13:09But nothing
01:13:10is better
01:13:11than us
01:13:11being reunited
01:13:12as a family.
01:13:14And together
01:13:15there will be
01:13:16forever.
