The Lost Son Returns As The Duke
Transcript
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.
00:00:22No!
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 is in the sea.
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.
00:01:43May 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.
00:01:58I think I need to go potty.
00:02:01I see.
00:02:03Yes.
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, sweetie.
00:02:22We can't afford beef.
00:02:25Maybe we could have a chicken.
00:02:27Your favorite chicken pie.
00:02:29Huzzah!
00:02:30Thank you, Mom.
00:02:31I love you.
00:02:33I love you.
00:02:38Bye!
00:02:39Bye!
00:02:39Bye!
00:02:48Every man must stand and fight.
00:02:59Take him.
00:03:01Stop!
00:03:02No, I'm only 13!
00:03:03Let me go!
00:03:04Mama!
00:03:05Mama!
00:03:10Arthur.
00:03:13Arthur should be here by now.
00:03:15Where is he?
00:03:16Arthur?
00:03:19Arthur?
00:03:31Mama!
00:03:32Mom!
00:03:46Wait.
00:03:52Have you seen my son?
00:03:54Have you seen Arthur?
00:03:56The baron's men took him.
00:03:58What? They're marching him to the border.
00:04:00They're sending him to war.
00:04:02No!
00:04:04No!
00:04:16Jane!
00:04:18You're hurt!
00:04:20They took him.
00:04:22We have to get him.
00:04:24He's only 13. He won't survive on the battlefield.
00:04:28No?
00:04:30Have you seen a boy? Have you seen Arthur?
00:04:32He's our son?
00:04:34Right here with soldiers.
00:04:36Hey, are you soldiers of the baron?
00:04:38Have you seen a boy? A strong lad?
00:04:40Brown hair? About this tall?
00:04:42The boy we took from the market, is it?
00:04:44Yes. Yes, that's him.
00:04:46Where is he?
00:04:48Your boy is either dead or going to be soon.
00:04:50He can't be. You're lying.
00:04:52Give me back my son.
00:04:54The law says that no boy should be conscripted
00:04:56unless he's 16 years old. Arthur's 13.
00:04:58Please!
00:05:04If you didn't want him gone, you should have kept him at home.
00:05:06You have no one to blame but yourself.
00:05:08It's all my fault I killed him.
00:05:10It's all my fault I killed him.
00:05:12I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself.
00:05:15It's...
00:05:16Shut up, wench!
00:05:17Or I'll make you join him real soon!
00:05:22Comet now!
00:05:23Foolish as they are!
00:05:24We can't just kill as we wish!
00:05:26Comet boy from filth like you!
00:05:29He was doomed from the moment he met us!
00:05:31Comet he met us!
00:05:37He's right.
00:05:39It's all my fault I shouldn't have let him alone.
00:05:42You mustn't do this to yourself.
00:05:44We will bring our boy home.
00:05:47Arthur...
00:05:51Where are you?
00:06:01I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:06:25I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:06:31Your Majesty.
00:06:32Nothing escapes you.
00:06:34Nothing does escape me.
00:06:35Which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford.
00:06:39You'll oversee the building of a new fort to strengthen our borders.
00:06:44The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.
00:06:48But your Majesty, my duty as a duke is to protect-
00:06:50Go, go.
00:06:53Go, my boy.
00:06:56You've fought enough battles for me.
00:06:58And 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 would be so proud to see the man you've become.
00:07:16And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?
00:07:20I won't let you down, sir.
00:07:23I won't let you down, sir.
00:07:30I miss you.
00:07:34Robert, my sweet nephew.
00:07:36Here.
00:07:37All my wages.
00:07:40I'm depending on you.
00:07:42You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin.
00:07:46I beg of you.
00:07:49Aunt Jane.
00:07:51My 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.
00:08:01Robert, maybe you can ask the Duke to help me find my son.
00:08:05I've heard that the Duke is a great knight in battle,
00:08:07so perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with this necklace.
00:08:12Maybe he knows my Arthur.
00:08:14Have you lost your wits?
00:08:17Ask the Duke for help?
00:08:18Who do you think you are?
00:08:19Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the Duke for such trifles.
00:08:25Robert, please, just have him take a look.
00:08:39It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:08:42Don't blame other people for your own negligence.
00:08:44It is my fault.
00:08:45I should have never let him out of my sight.
00:08:47I regret it every single day.
00:08:50But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages,
00:08:53you would help me find my son.
00:08:56I 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. Go! Get!
00:09:17That's the Duke.
00:09:22That's the Duke.
00:09:23He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.
00:09:26The king treats him like a son.
00:09:28I feel like a son.
00:09:58Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:10:14Welcome, your grace.
00:10:16Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:10:19We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?
00:10:22Your grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.
00:10:26I beg for your forgiveness.
00:10:28It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.
00:10:31You are too kind, your grace.
00:10:33I've returned to find my family.
00:10:35Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:10:38I shall have them brought here at once.
00:10:40My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:10:45But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.
00:10:52May God bless us and guide us,
00:10:55and keep us together as one family.
00:11:06Could 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.
00:11:29Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:11:33Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family,
00:11:38then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my author.
00:11:42Don't be stupid.
00:11:47This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:11:51How could a man like that be your son?
00:11:54Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:11:57Stop being delusional.
00:12:01No.
00:12:02I must see the Duke.
00:12:05Have you lost your mind?
00:12:07I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:12:31I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:12:35Did 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.
00:12:49What were you thinking?
00:12:52Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:12:56Robert just became butler.
00:12:58I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:13:01I swear, that was my son.
00:13:03That was Arthur.
00:13:04You have truly gone mad.
00:13:07That 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...
00:13:21Ow!
00:13:22Ow!
00:13:23Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:13:26Calling the Duke your son?
00:13:28What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:13:31Please, just let me speak to him.
00:13:34Let me show him this.
00:13:42Ow!
00:13:43Ow!
00:13:47Robert!
00:13:50Robert!
00:13:51Don't!
00:13:52Not while the Duke is here.
00:13:54Robert!
00:13:55Robert!
00:13:55What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:58Anna!
00:14:01Give me that back.
00:14:02I 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.
00:14:09But you've done...
00:14:10One family?
00:14:13It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:14:16My 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.
00:14:54No!
00:14:55No!
00:14:55No!
00:14:57Mother!
00:14:58Mother, no!
00:15:03Mother, no!
00:15:05No!
00:15:08Come, Mother.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:12Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:15:14We'll never be able to find Arthur or not with this.
00:15:17It's all right.
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, I'll see what I can do.
00:15:39Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:15:42Your grace, my lord.
00:15:50Your grace, my lord.
00:15:54Oh, forgive me, your grace.
00:16:09Useless girl.
00:16:15Your grace, are you all right?
00:16:17I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:16:19No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:16:22Your kindness humbles us all.
00:16:23Well, don't just sit there.
00:16:27Clean yourself up.
00:16:32Why does she seem so familiar?
00:16:35Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:16:38How could Robert do this to you?
00:16:45He beat you.
00:16:48You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:16:50Oh, Carl.
00:16:52You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:16:55It's only going to get worse 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 the 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.
00:17:29What 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...
00:17:42He does resemble him, yes.
00:17:44But he didn't recognize the necklace.
00:17:47No.
00:17:49I'm so sorry.
00:17:52I thought it was him.
00:17:54I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.
00:17:56I know at least you'll sleep easier, knowing this is by your side.
00:18:11Oh, your grace.
00:18:13I dare say you look as handsome as ever.
00:18:16These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:18:21Leave 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.
00:18:39Well, it must be Anna.
00:18:40She must have forgot something.
00:18:42Anna?
00:18:43Anna?
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:47What 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?
00:19:00Would you like some bread?
00:19:02We were just about to sit down for lunch.
00:19:05So I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:19:07You call this food?
00:19:09The 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.
00:19:24What do you mean, Laura?
00:19:26Tell them, Robert.
00:19:31Ah!
00:19:34It really is a shack.
00:19:37But luckily it'll be gone soon.
00:19:40Your land has been seized.
00:19:42This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.
00:19:45No.
00:19:45To bolster our defenses.
00:19:47The order came directly from the Duke himself.
00:19:50No.
00:19:51But you will be well compensated for the trouble.
00:19:55What?
00:19:56Just 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.
00:20:31You 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.
00:20:37You 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.
00:20:45Carl.
00:20:48Carl.
00:20:49Carl, 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.
00:21:00This place really does feel so familiar.
00:21:11What?
00:21:12What are you doing?
00:21:18I'll tell you this one last time.
00:21:20Sign a 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.
00:21:29Oh.
00:21:30Ow.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:33Sign it.
00:21:34Now.
00:21:35No.
00:21:36No.
00:21:37No.
00:21:37No.
00:21:37Ah.
00:21:39Ah.
00:21:39Ah.
00:21:41Ah.
00:21:42Ah.
00:21:42Ah.
00:21:42Ah.
00:21:42Ah.
00:21:43Ah.
00:21:44Ah.
00:21:44Ah.
00:21:44Ah.
00:21:44Ah.
00:21:44Ah.
00:21:44Ah.
00:21:44Ah.
00:21:45Ah.
00:21:45Ah.
00:21:46Ah.
00:21:46Ah.
00:21:47Ah.
00:21:47Ah.
00:21:48Ah.
00:21:49Ah.
00:21:49Ah.
00:21:50Ah.
00:21:51Stop it.
00:22:01That's an order.
00:22:05What'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?
00:22:43Could 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, conscripted by the Baron's soldiers.
00:23:11If we leave, he'll never find his way back.
00:23:14Please.
00:23:15Please.
00:23:16Please, I beg of you.
00:23:21It was pinned.
00:23:22Yes.
00:23:23It was a token.
00:23:25A promise that my children and I would always be family together.
00:23:32This one is for you, Arthur.
00:23:39What?
00:23:39What?
00:23:39Mother.
00:23:51Mother.
00:23:52Arthur.
00:23:53Is it you?
00:23:57It's me, Mom.
00:23:58Mom.
00:23:58I've come home.
00:24:00My boy.
00:24:02Ten long years.
00:24:03We searched for you.
00:24:05And finally, you've come back to us.
00:24:08I'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.
00:24:18Please forgive me.
00:24:26Can 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 Arthur has come home?
00:24:39What's there to cheer for?
00:24:40A beggar for a son?
00:24:42Or 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 would like to celebrate alone as a family.
00:25:05We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool.
00:25:12No, Robert, Shirley, 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 at this pigsty.
00:25:25Don't you point your finger at me.
00:25:28I could do much worse.
00:25:30Or 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.
00:25:54And I do not wish to spend it squabbling with you, Bill.
00:25:57Kneel before us.
00:25:59Apologize.
00:26:00And be gone.
00:26:01You son of a whore.
00:26:07I'm the Baron's butler.
00:26:08The highest on his staff.
00:26:11You think I'd kneel to a common maid?
00:26:14You better show your respect.
00:26:16Now 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.
00:26:36But 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.
00:27:22What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:27:33Did 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.
00:27:50You scumbag.
00:27:51How dare you lay your dirty hands on my fiancée?
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.
00:28:02Sounds fair to me.
00:28:03You are in the town of Stamford, my cousin's jurisdiction, and Robert is his head butler.
00:28:09You'll pay for what you've done.
00:28:12Bring him to the dungeons.
00:28:14No.
00:28:14I'll teach him a lesson.
00:28:16No, no, no, no, please don't.
00:28:17Please 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.
00:28:25I didn't expect a lowly peasant like you to know who my cousin is.
00:28:29Don'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.
00:28:39Don't take him.
00:28:40Please, he just came back.
00:28:42No, no, no, no.
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.
00:28:52I 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 now, 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 of my son!
00:29:23Well, well.
00:29:25I 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.
00:29:37I don't know.
00:29:43What happened here?
00:29:45Lord Benjamin, it was all your butlers doing.
00:29:49And 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!
00:30:06Carl, what are we going to do?
00:30:10Because 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.
00:30:19He's surely...
00:30:19We have to try, Carl.
00:30:21Please.
00:30:22You're right.
00:30:23We have to try.
00:30:24We have to try.
00:30:24We have to find our son.
00:30:30What 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.
00:30:44Watch your mouth.
00:30:47Your family is done for, and you're still talking back.
00:30:51No, 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.
00:31:08It seems like you've gotten it in your head that you could do something to us.
00:31:13Let me remind you of your place.
00:31:27You insolent brat!
00:31:31What are you doing?
00:31:33Reminding you of your place.
00:31:38Stop 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.
00:32:00The gall of you!
00:32:03Threatening 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!
00:32:16Flog him!
00:32:19Hold it!
00:32:22You'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...
00:32:42And he even tried to punch me!
00:32:45Cousin Benjamin, you must see to it that he is punished.
00:32:48Stop 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.
00:33:00Just 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.
00:33:28As I was saying, the consequences of your actions.
00:33:34You 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.
00:33:49There is no misunderstanding.
00:33:51Have you lost your mind?
00:33:53Do you know who this man is?
00:33:55Do you know who this man is?
00:34:01He's nothing but a beggar, the son of peasants.
00:34:07Get 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.
00:34:26Rightly so.
00:34:27He's a peasant, a beggar.
00:34:29How could 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?
00:34:43Shut 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?
00:34:54Oh.
00:34:55Lord Venture, it 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?
00:35:18I'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.
00:35:32I'll have them flogged, exiled, punished to the extent of the law.
00:35:37Please, your grace, spare us.
00:35:40Cousin.
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.
00:35:52But let me live.
00:35:54We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.
00:35:58I 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 mustn't kill him or exile him.
00:36:14Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's old brother.
00:36:19You'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?
00:36:41And Cousin Robert, what happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?
00:36:48Did you pity your poor cousin then?
00:36:50I've seen you for what you are.
00:36:52Shameless, shameless, and wretched scum.
00:36:56You are unfit to live.
00:37:00Have them dealt with and think about what you've done.
00:37:04You're meant to be noble, not only in your actions but in your name.
00:37:07See that your people behave or I'll have your title removed.
00:37:12I will see to them personally.
00:37:15Oh, please.
00:37:17Oh, sir.
00:37:18Please.
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.
00:37:28Egypt.
00:37:28What are you doing?
00:37:29You villain.
00:37:33If it weren't for you, I never would have gotten involved with this mess.
00:37:36I'm calling off our engagement.
00:37:38From this moment onward, I'll have nothing to do with you.
00:37:41I beg of you, O Graydon, Honorable Duke.
00:37:44Forgive me.
00:37:46Don't you want to see what I have to offer?
00:37:50Save it, my sloth.
00:37:52Lord Benjamin.
00:37:52Make 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?
00:38:09Just let me go.
00:38:10I won't ever do it again.
00:38:14No!
00:38:15No!
00:38:16Cousin!
00:38:17Please!
00:38:18Please, please!
00:38:19No!
00:38:22And good news, Benjamin.
00:38:27I 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.
00:38:41And I wish for them to live happily.
00:38:44Oh, and my sister too, Anna.
00:38:47I want to do something special for her as well.
00:38:49Did you just say Anna?
00:38:50Anna, it's in the maid, Anna.
00:38:53Right.
00:38:54Anna, she works here, doesn't she?
00:38:58Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:39:03Mr. Wellesley, Lord Benjamin says Anna is to attend to the Duke personally for the next few days.
00:39:10Did you just say Anna?
00:39:17It's in the maid, Anna.
00:39:18Right.
00:39:19Anna.
00:39:20She works here, doesn't she?
00:39:21Bring me to her.
00:39:23No, Your Grace.
00:39:24I...
00:39:24What?
00:39:25I thought...
00:39:26I thought that you fancied her, so I...
00:39:29What have you done?
00:39:30Bring me to her right now!
00:39:31You have fine features.
00:39:45For a scullery maid, I can see why he likes you.
00:39:50Mr. Crowley, did you need something?
00:39:53Yes, pet.
00:39:55You have been chosen.
00:39:57Take 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.
00:40:32You 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.
00:40:42You don't have a choice.
00:40:45Baron's orders.
00:40:46Do 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?
00:40:57Aw, dumb already, are you?
00:40:59Still think you can say no, whore?
00:41:01Please, I don't want to.
00:41:07It'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?
00:41:24Serve the Duke, and the money's yours.
00:41:39You'll have no short supply of expensive little trinkets.
00:41:43I would never sell my body, not for a few coppers, not 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.
00:42:05You don't get to say no!
00:42:18Let me go, please!
00:42:20Hands off!
00:42:22You don't get to say no!
00:42:24Let me go, please!
00:42:28Hands off of her!
00:42:31He didn't hurt you, did he?
00:42:32Are you the Duke, sir?
00:42:34Sir, what is the meaning of this?
00:42:38You imbecile!
00:42:40But, sir, you said...
00:42:43Have you no shame acting 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.
00:43:01Apologize, sir, but she's the lowly scullery maid.
00:43:05She was out of line!
00:43:10A lowly maid?
00:43:12Mark my words, she's Duke Arthur's sister.
00:43:15She's his sister?
00:43:20The lowly maid is his sister?
00:43:24Are you really my brother?
00:43:27My Arthur?
00:43:29Yes, Anna.
00:43:30I've come back to protect you, and mother, and father.
00:43:35Arthur!
00:43:36Where have you been all these years who missed you terribly?
00:43:41There, there.
00:43:43Let me deal with this man first.
00:43:45Hmm?
00:43:50Once again, Lord Benjamin.
00:43:52Your men have shown their true colors.
00:43:55Disgusting and vile.
00:43:57Sir, I failed to discipline them.
00:44:00But yes, sir, Duke.
00:44:05I was wrong.
00:44:06I would have never treated her like that had I known that she was your sister.
00:44:12Yet you see no issue in treating her this way if she wasn't.
00:44:17Isn'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, it was Benjamin, the Baron.
00:44:27Lord!
00:44:28He asked me to.
00:44:29No, I didn't.
00:44:31God!
00:44:32Throw him into the dungeon.
00:44:33No!
00:44:33No, please.
00:44:35No, sir.
00:44:36No, no!
00:44:38No.
00:44:41Anna, 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.
00:44:58Oh, 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.
00:45:10Okay?
00:45:12Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently at the Moors.
00:45:16John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.
00:45:20Yes, John and I are engaged, but...
00:45:24He's your fiancé, Anna.
00:45:26So I'll love him like a brother.
00:45:28Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.
00:45:31I 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.
00:45:39As you wish, Duke Arthur.
00:45:51Is that the Moors' home?
00:45:53A fine place for a merchant family, but...
00:45:56They'll be able to afford better very soon.
00:45:57Well, we're here.
00:46:03The home of our supposed son-in-law.
00:46:05Yeah.
00:46:05You tottering fool.
00:46:16John!
00:46:16Why have you come back?
00:46:21John, this is your fiancé's father.
00:46:24You will call me Mr. Moore.
00:46:28And 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, please.
00:46:38Let's talk.
00:46:39And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancé?
00:46:43You'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
00:47:01that 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.
00:47:31Arthur, my boy, they set you free.
00:47:42Rightfully so, father.
00:47:43Arthur, it's so good to see you alive and well.
00:47:48Father, mother, Robert's been punished for what he did to you.
00:47:52You must be the son I keep hearing so much about.
00:47:57Weren't you kidnapped to join the army?
00:47:59Run away, did you?
00:48:01And now you've come here to leech off me.
00:48:04You'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?
00:48:20Say that again.
00:48:27If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister,
00:48:31then 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.
00:48:44Come on then, hit me.
00:48:48And you regret ever being born.
00:48:50You think that can stop me?
00:48:53Who do you think you are?
00:49:02Oh, it's just a peasant.
00:49:05John, my darling, I come bearing good news.
00:49:08Father says the Duke has arranged for a banquet at the manor and you're invited.
00:49:11And 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?
00:49:19Adela, tell me it's true.
00:49:20I finally have a name to match my wealth.
00:49:24No one will be able to tell us what to do.
00:49:26No one will be able to say no to us.
00:49:27Of 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.
00:49:48Honor's brother.
00:49:49And 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.
00:50:10Don'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.
00:50:19Adela.
00:50:19Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.
00:50:24Have you no manners and on the rich?
00:50:26You scum.
00:50:28You better beg for forgiveness if you want to live.
00:50:31And 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!
00:51:23Arthur, we will tell Anna.
00:51:28But, please, we cannot anger Mr. Moore.
00:51:33He'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 out this engagement.
00:51:54Because you, John Moore,
00:51:56are unfit for my sister.
00:52:02John Moore,
00:52:03are unfit for my sister.
00:52:06My word.
00:52:08Unfit.
00:52:08For you.
00:52:10Let's see.
00:52:11Servant, servant, beggar.
00:52:14Oh, you're too funny.
00:52:16Take this as a friendly warning, John.
00:52:19Lest you regret your decision later.
00:52:21I have no mind to regret anything regarding you, Lant.
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.
00:52:34Oh, that's the Moors for you.
00:52:45Some coin,
00:52:46and they forget everything that we've ever done for them.
00:52:49Oh, Arthur.
00:52:50I wish we had had a better reception for you.
00:52:53Oh, Mother,
00:52:54don't say that, please.
00:52:56I've already arranged something for you.
00:52:58I finally found you.
00:52:59That's cause for celebration.
00:53:00You've arranged something?
00:53:02No.
00:53:03No, I...
00:53:04Please.
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.
00:53:12Don't worry, Mother.
00:53:13It's been paid for.
00:53:15At the Baron's Manor?
00:53:16Arthur, we...
00:53:17Haven't you heard the Duke will be there?
00:53:19We can't possibly impose.
00:53:21It's...
00:53:22Like I said, Mother,
00:53:24don't worry.
00:53:25You'll see.
00:53:26Oh.
00:53:27Lady Adela,
00:53:38this is all very splendid.
00:53:41You must introduce us to the Duke when he arrives.
00:53:44Oh, Mrs. Moore, of course.
00:53:46As the Baron of Stanford,
00:53:48my 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.
00:53:56I cannot believe it.
00:53:58A noble title.
00:54:00Lady Adela,
00:54:00you are simply full of surprises.
00:54:03You are the best match for John.
00:54:05No doubt about it.
00:54:07What do you mean to ask, Adela?
00:54:09Why would someone like the Duke
00:54:11come to Stanford in the first place?
00:54:13Well, Stanford is his hometown.
00:54:15The King dispatched him here
00:54:16to oversee the building of a new fort.
00:54:19The real reason is his parents.
00:54:22He was separated from them
00:54:23when he was a child.
00:54:24Even this banquet I hear is all for them.
00:54:27Must be good, noble people
00:54:29to rear such a fine man like the Duke.
00:54:32We must make a good impression.
00:54:34How did those peasants get in?
00:54:56This banquet,
00:55:03I've arranged it all for you.
00:55:05I'll introduce you to everyone shortly.
00:55:08Arthur,
00:55:09don't just,
00:55:10what do you mean for us?
00:55:12Mother,
00:55:14I'm serious.
00:55:15This is all for you.
00:55:17But,
00:55:18how 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.
00:55:30We're finally all together again.
00:55:36John,
00:55:36I thought you told them to get lost.
00:55:38Why are they back?
00:55:44John,
00:55:44I thought you told them to get lost.
00:55:46Why are they back?
00:55:47Damn lowlifes.
00:55:49They must have tailed us in.
00:55:51I knew those ill-bred dogs
00:55:53would go away that easily.
00:55:55Scoundrels,
00:55:56all.
00:55:57Mrs. Moore,
00:55:58rest easy.
00:56:00This banquet is held on the Duke's orders
00:56:03and Father asked me to see
00:56:04that our guests enjoy themselves.
00:56:07I have every authority to throw them out.
00:56:13Come.
00:56:17Who 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.
00:56:40This is my manor.
00:56:42My father is hosting it
00:56:44under direct orders of the Duke.
00:56:46Duke, you have no place to speak here.
00:56:49And you?
00:56:51You must be the bitch
00:56:53that John was engaged to.
00:56:55I'll have you know
00:56:56John is going to be a noble.
00:56:59You'll have no way into his home.
00:57:02Unless you'd like to be our maid
00:57:03once we marry.
00:57:06Lowborn as I may be,
00:57:07I'm still more noble
00:57:09than a harlot like you.
00:57:10You wench.
00:57:12I will not let you talk
00:57:13to Lady Adela like this.
00:57:14Apologize right now.
00:57:17I owe her nothing of the sort.
00:57:19She is the one
00:57:19who'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.
00:57:35I would never marry a man
00:57:36with such a fickle heart
00:57:37who would abandon his fiancée
00:57:39just to chase after
00:57:40some harlot's coin.
00:57:45You dirty bitch.
00:57:47That's what you get
00:57:48for talking to my son like that.
00:57:53How dare you
00:57:54raise your hands to my daughter.
00:57:56How dare she insult my son.
00:57:58You're right, mother.
00:57:59We ought to slap some sense into them.
00:58:02Anna, look at yourself.
00:58:03You're nothing compared to Lady Adela.
00:58:07It's no wonder I chose her.
00:58:09Lady Adela is Lord Benjamin's daughter.
00:58:13What do you have
00:58:15that Lady Adela doesn't?
00:58:17Besides this useless beggar of a brother.
00:58:21Do not insult my brother.
00:58:23He is more noble than any of you.
00:58:24All this dirty work
00:58:33must have done you in.
00:58:36A beggar like him.
00:58:38You lowly peasants.
00:58:40None of you deserve to talk to us.
00:58:42Get out
00:58:43or we'll throw you out with force.
00:58:47Get out
00:58:48or we'll throw you out with force.
00:58:50It is you who ought to be thrown out.
00:58:54What a pretty
00:58:58money-sucking leech.
00:59:03I would tell her
00:59:04I am disgusted
00:59:06by the implication.
00:59:08Despite her features,
00:59:10a maid that cleans chamber parts
00:59:12all day
00:59:13is more fit to marry a stable boy.
00:59:15Say that again
00:59:16and I'll make you pay.
00:59:18Oh no.
00:59:20What are you going to do?
00:59:21Hit me?
00:59:22Well, come on then.
00:59:25Have at it.
00:59:29Well,
00:59:30I do say I think
00:59:32this was the first time
00:59:33I heard someone ask for it.
00:59:34But
00:59:35I think we all heard him
00:59:37clearly enough.
00:59:39You feel it.
00:59:41You actually asked.
00:59:41You asked for it.
00:59:44I obliged.
00:59:49Lord Benjamin,
00:59:50the Duke has arrived.
00:59:51He's here already.
00:59:53We have to go.
00:59:55You asked for it.
00:59:56I am to be a noble
00:59:58and you will not
00:59:59offend me again.
01:00:01Why should I care?
01:00:02I'm sure Lord Benjamin
01:00:03would understand.
01:00:04Do not speak
01:00:05my father's name.
01:00:06You're dead.
01:00:07My father will see to it
01:00:08when he arrives.
01:00:09On your knees.
01:00:11And I demand you
01:00:12apologize to John
01:00:13now.
01:00:14And your filthy parents
01:00:16too.
01:00:17Down!
01:00:17Who do you think
01:00:18you are barking orders at me?
01:00:19Don't think you're so
01:00:20high and mighty
01:00:21just because you've
01:00:22followed us in.
01:00:23You've no right
01:00:23to speak to my son
01:00:24or Lady Adela
01:00:25like this.
01:00:26Don't you know
01:00:27how much I suffered
01:00:28being betrothed
01:00:29to your dirty whore
01:00:30of a sister?
01:00:31I will not let you
01:00:33embarrass me again.
01:00:37We've been gracious
01:00:38enough letting the matter
01:00:39go yet you shameless
01:00:41rats won't stop
01:00:42bothering us.
01:00:43Away!
01:00:44Off with you!
01:00:45Oh Mrs. Moore
01:00:45I have a much
01:00:47better idea.
01:00:48Let's add a few tears
01:00:50to their teary reunion.
01:00:51Guards!
01:00:56Execute him!
01:00:56No!
01:00:58I want to watch
01:00:59as they lose their
01:00:59precious son
01:01:00again.
01:01:03Oh Lady Adela
01:01:04I think if that's
01:01:05the case
01:01:05we ought to keep
01:01:06him alive.
01:01:07He's already
01:01:08a useless beggar.
01:01:09We ought to break
01:01:10his legs
01:01:11and keep him
01:01:11that way.
01:01:12Lisa!
01:01:13Lady Moore!
01:01:14Please!
01:01:15I apologize!
01:01:17I'll have Arthur

01:01:20but Arthur
01:01:21please
01:01:22I beg of you
01:01:23apologize!
01:01:24Please!
01:01:25You've enough wit
01:01:26to be scared
01:01:27but it's too late!
01:01:28It's not my fault
01:01:30you've been grating
01:01:30on my nerves!
01:01:32I've nothing
01:01:32left for pity!
01:01:34Seems like you have
01:01:34quite a loud bark
01:01:35with no bite now.
01:01:38What did you
01:01:39just say to me?
01:01:41Mother
01:01:42Father
01:01:43I already told you
01:01:44this banquet
01:01:45is for you
01:01:45in honor of us
01:01:47all being together
01:01:47again.
01:01:48You have every right
01:01:49to enjoy yourself.
01:01:51If my sister
01:01:51was correct
01:01:52you ought to apologize
01:01:53for your poor behavior
01:01:54and I ought to have
01:01:55you thrown out.
01:01:57Soon
01:01:57you'll be kneeling
01:01:58before us
01:01:59begging for the
01:02:00forgiveness
01:02:00we have every right
01:02:01to withhold!
01:02:02A pity
01:02:03to have a son
01:02:04like him.
01:02:05Imagine
01:02:06spending ten years
01:02:07to find your son
01:02:08just to have him
01:02:08turn out like this.
01:02:10The real pity
01:02:11is what will be
01:02:11happening to you soon.
01:02:13I think I'll be
01:02:14quite happy
01:02:14in the future.
01:02:14Oh yes
01:02:17happy
01:02:18very happy
01:02:19I imagine
01:02:20with your legs
01:02:21mangled
01:02:21crawling on the ground
01:02:23and your poor parents
01:02:25I'm sure
01:02:26they'll be very joyous
01:02:27over such a sight.
01:02:29Seize them!
01:02:30No!
01:02:31No!
01:02:32Please no!
01:02:33Presenting
01:02:34the Honorable
01:02:34Lord Benjamin
01:02:35Baron of Stamford
01:02:37Oh
01:02:39you're in for it now.
01:02:41Lord Benjamin
01:02:42is the most powerful
01:02:43man in Stamford
01:02:44and he's backed
01:02:45by the Duke
01:02:46whose authority
01:02:47is second only
01:02:48to the King.
01:02:49You poor
01:02:50poor souls
01:02:51we'll see what
01:02:52the Duke has to say
01:02:53when he hears about this.
01:02:55I reckon you'll all
01:02:56be beaten to death
01:02:57in the dungeons.
01:02:57Don't waste your breath
01:02:58madam
01:02:59a commoner like him
01:03:00can't even fathom
01:03:01the great power
01:03:02the Duke has.
01:03:03Of course
01:03:04Lady Adela
01:03:05it'd be an honor
01:03:06for him to lay eyes
01:03:07on the gentlemen
01:03:08before he crushes them
01:03:10like the rats
01:03:10they are.
01:03:12No!
01:03:12No!
01:03:13I can't wait.
01:03:15How unfortunate
01:03:16it had to come to this.
01:03:17Yes!
01:03:18How unfortunate
01:03:19it is
01:03:20for you.
01:03:21Lord Benjamin
01:03:22is my father
01:03:23and once I tell him
01:03:25what you've done
01:03:25to me
01:03:26and my dear John
01:03:28he'll have you
01:03:29all beheaded.
01:03:30No!
01:03:31Oh how lucky
01:03:32it is
01:03:33to be so simple minded.
01:03:35You
01:03:36half dead caudus
01:03:38and you
01:03:39harlot.
01:03:40any last words
01:03:43no teary goodbyes
01:03:45or
01:03:46do you wish
01:03:47to die with him?
01:03:49John
01:03:49please
01:03:50Arthur was just
01:03:51impulsive
01:03:51please put in
01:03:52a good word for him.
01:03:53Get your dirty hands
01:03:54off of me!
01:03:55You scoundrel!
01:03:56I'll do it again!
01:04:02You scoundrel!
01:04:03I'll do it again!
01:04:06John!
01:04:07My darling boy!
01:04:09How dare you!
01:04:10Touch my parents again
01:04:11and your family will pay.
01:04:13Let it be known
01:04:14this night was meant
01:04:15to be a joyous one
01:04:16and I did not wish
01:04:17to taint it
01:04:18with strife
01:04:18and bloodshed.
01:04:19I would have let you go
01:04:21as awful as your behavior
01:04:22was to me
01:04:23but you insulted
01:04:24my virtuous sister
01:04:25and raised your hand
01:04:26to my saintly mother
01:04:27and father.
01:04:29Your actions beg
01:04:30for punishment
01:04:30and I am happy
01:04:31to see to it.
01:04:34Let it be known
01:04:35I plan to exile
01:04:36the Moore family
01:04:37from the good town
01:04:38of Stamford.
01:04:43Oh you've gone mad
01:04:44truly mad.
01:04:46Lady Adela
01:04:47have your men
01:04:48restrain him
01:04:48for the safety
01:04:49of your guests
01:04:50and have him
01:04:51flogged in the dungeon.
01:04:55What's this again
01:04:56about the dungeons?
01:05:00Lord Benjamin
01:05:01you finally come.
01:05:02My lord
01:05:03we've been troubled
01:05:04so by these lowly peasants.
01:05:06Father
01:05:06it's them
01:05:07I say we take them
01:05:08to the dungeons.
01:05:14This is the Duke's
01:05:15banquet Adela.
01:05:16I will not tolerate
01:05:17your antics.
01:05:19Pardon me father
01:05:20it seems I've been lax
01:05:22for these lowly
01:05:23dirty servants
01:05:24have snuck in.
01:05:26Lowly
01:05:26dirty servants?
01:05:30Yes father
01:05:32the mister and missus
01:05:33are servants
01:05:34and so is the daughter
01:05:35and he's
01:05:36a beggar
01:05:37a vile
01:05:38disgusting man.
01:05:40Perhaps we could
01:05:41send them away
01:05:41with some scraps
01:05:42from the kitchens.
01:05:43I dare say
01:05:44they'd be better
01:05:44than anything
01:05:45they've ever tasted.
01:05:46Oh father
01:05:47please allow me
01:05:47to see it.
01:05:48I'll have their bones
01:05:49broken and left out
01:05:50for the dogs
01:05:51for disturbing
01:05:52the Duke's banquet.
01:05:54Silence!
01:05:56But Lord Benjamin
01:05:57why?
