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