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!

00:01:55Bye!
00:01:55Bye!
00:01:56Every man must stand and fight.
00:01:59Take him.
00:02:01Stop!
00:02:02No!
00:02:02I'm only 13! Let me go!
00:02:05Mama!
00:02:10Arthur?
00:02:13Arthur should be here by now.
00:02:16Where is he?
00:02:19Arthur?
00:02:19Arthur?
00:02:31Mama!
00:02:46Wait!
00:02:48I...
00:02:49Have you seen my son?
00:02:55Have you seen Arthur?
00:02:56The baronsmen took him.
00:02:58They're marching him to the border.
00:03:00They're sending him to war.
00:03:01No.
00:03:03No.
00:03:04No.
00:03:16Jane.
00:03:18You're hurt.
00:03:18Girl, they took him.
00:03:22We have to get him.
00:03:24He's only 13.
00:03:25He wants to arrive on the battlefield.
00:03:28Let's go.
00:03:29No?
00:03:30Have you seen a boy?
00:03:31Have you seen Arthur?
00:03:32He's our son?
00:03:32Right here with soldier people.
00:03:35Hey, are you soldiers of the baron?
00:03:37Have you seen a boy?
00:03:39A strong lad.
00:03:40Brown hair.
00:03:41About this tall.
00:03:42The boy we took from the market, is it?
00:03:44Yes.
00:03:44Yes.
00:03:45Yes, that's him.
00:03:46Where is he?
00:03:47Your boy is either dead or going to be soon.
00:03:49He can't be.
00:03:50You're lying.
00:03:51Away with you, woman.
00:03:52Give me back my son.
00:03:54The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old.
00:03:58Arthur's 13.
00:03:59Please.
00:03:59If you didn't want him gone, you should have kept him at home.
00:04:07You have no one to blame but yourself.
00:04:10It's all my fault.
00:04:11I killed him.
00:04:13I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself.
00:04:16It's...
00:04:16Shut up, wench!
00:04:17Or I'll make you join him real soon!
00:04:19Comet, now!
00:04:23Foolish as they are, we can't just kill as we wish!
00:04:28Comet boy from filth like you!
00:04:30He was doomed from the moment he met us!
00:04:37He's right.
00:04:40It's all my fault.
00:04:41He shouldn't have let him alone.
00:04:43You mustn't do this to yourself.
00:04:44We will bring our boy home.
00:04:47Arthur.
00:04:51Where are you?
00:05:14I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:05:31Your Majesty.
00:05:33Nothing 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.
00:05:44The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.
00:05:48But, Your Majesty, my duty as a duke is to protect...
00:05:51Go, go.
00:05:54Go, my boy.
00:05:56You've fought enough battles for me
00:05:58and did a great service to the Kingdom of Mercia.
00:06:03This is why I gave you the title of Duke.
00:06:07Duke, go back to Stamford.
00:06:10Find your family.
00:06:12They will be so proud to see the man you've become.
00:06:17And while you're at it,
00:06:19build me that castle, eh?
00:06:20Hmm?
00:06:23I won't let you down, sir.
00:06:30I miss you.
00:06:31Oh, Robert, my sweet nephew, here.
00:06:37All my wages.
00:06:41I'm depending on you.
00:06:43You work for the Baron now,
00:06:44so please help me find your cousin, I beg of you.
00:06:49Aunt Jane,
00:06:51my connections are expensive.
00:06:53I'll look into it, but not today.
00:06:55The Duke is coming to Stamford.
00:06:57Everything has to be perfect.
00:07:00The Duke is coming.
00:07:02Robert, 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,
00:07:09so perhaps you could ask him
00:07:10to see if he recognizes this boy with his necklace.
00:07:13Maybe 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
00:07:23for such trifles.
00:07:25Robert, please, just have him take a look.
00:07:39It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:07:42Don't blame other people for your own negligence.
00:07:45It is my fault.
00:07:46I should have never let him out of my sight.
00:07:47I regret it every single day.
00:07:50But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages,
00:07:54you would help me find my son.
00:07:56I told you not today.
00:08:00The Duke could be here any second.
00:08:02Get lost before he sees your ugly face.
00:08:08The Duke is here.
00:08:10Go.
00:08:11Get.
00:08:11Get.
00:08:17Get.
00:08:18Get.
00:08:18Get.
00:08:22That's the Duke.
00:08:23He's the one that defeated the Five Kingdoms.
00:08:27The king treats him like a son.
00:08:29I don't know.
00:08:59Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:09:15Welcome, your grace.
00:09:17Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:09:20We'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.
00:09:32You 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.
00:09:48May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:09:58Could this be me?
00:10:09Find who this belongs to.
00:10:11I will see to this personally.
00:10:13Mom, where are you?
00:10:19The Duke of Mercia has come to the Baron's Manor.
00:10:25The king must hold him in high regard.
00:10:28They say he's looking for his family.
00:10:30Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:10:34Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family, then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my Arthur.
00:10:43Don't be stupid.
00:10:48This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:10:52How could a man like that be your son?
00:10:55Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:10:58Stop being delusional.
00:11:01No.
00:11:03I must see the Duke.
00:11:06Have you lost your mind?
00:11:13I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:11:39Did someone call my name just now?
00:11:40Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:11:44No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.
00:11:51What were you thinking?
00:11:53Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:11:57Robert just became butler.
00:11:58I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:12:02I swear, that was my son.
00:12:04That was Arthur.
00:12:05You have truly gone mad.
00:12:07That was the Duke, the second most important man in the entire kingdom.
00:12:13How could a man of such standing be your son?
00:12:17He looked just like him.
00:12:20I swear that...
00:12:22Ow!
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.
00:12:32Please, just let me speak to him.
00:12:35Let me show him this.
00:12:36Ow!
00:12:44Ow!
00:12:44Ow!
00:12:48Robert!
00:12:51Robert!
00:12:52Don't!
00:12:53Not while the Duke is here.
00:12:55Robert!
00:12:57What are you doing to my mother?
00:12:59Anna!
00:13:01Give me that back.
00:13:02I needed to find Arthur.
00:13:04Worthless piece of junk.
00:13:06Robert, we're a family.
00:13:08We're supposed to help each other.
00:13:11But you're a fun family.
00:13:13It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:13:17My son has risen up through the ranks.
00:13:20While yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:13:24It's pathetic, really.
00:13:26You know, but I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.
00:13:31And you...
00:13:31You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:13:37You never even thought to look for him.
00:13:39You liar!
00:13:41You cheat!
00:13:42Give me back my coin!
00:13:44Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:13:47In this, say goodbye to your son.
00:13:54No!
00:13:56No!
00:13:58Mother, no!
00:14:04Mother, no!
00:14:05Come, 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.
00:14:18It'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,
00:14:28I'll see what I can do.
00:14:29Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:14:48Your Grace, my Lord.
00:14:59Oh, forgive me, Your Grace.
00:15:13Useless girl.
00:15:16Your Grace, are you all right?
00:15:18I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:15:20No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:15:23Your kindness humbles us all.
00:15:26Well, don't just sit there.
00:15:28Beat yourself up.
00:15:33Why does she seem so familiar?
00:15:36Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:15:42How could Robert do this to you?
00:15:46He'd beat you.
00:15:49You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:15:51Oh, Carl.
00:15:53You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:15:56It's only going to get worse.
00:15:58Now that Robert is butler to the barium?
00:16:03Mother?
00:16:04Father?
00:16:08This place is so familiar to me.
00:16:10And it's strategic.
00:16:13I'll build the new fort here.
00:16:15See to it that all the families along this road are asked to leave.
00:16:18And compensate them well.
00:16:19I will start the process right away.
00:16:28Father?
00:16:30Yeah?
00:16:31What did the Duke say?
00:16:32Did he...
00:16:34Mother?
00:16:37What?
00:16:37I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:16:41No.
00:16:43He does...
00:16:43He does resemble him, yes, but...
00:16:46He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:16:48No.
00:16:51I'm so sorry.
00:16:53I 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.
00:17:05Oh, your grace.
00:17:14I dare say you look as handsome as ever.
00:17:18These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:17:22Leave 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?
00:17:44Anna?
00:17:48Yeah.
00:17:48What 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.
00:18:06So 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.
00:18:33Ah!
00:18:36It really is a shack.
00:18:39But luckily it'll be gone soon.
00:18:41Your land has been seized.
00:18:43This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.
00:18:46No.
00:18:47To 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,
00:19:09I 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 coins.
00:19:21Not for nothing.
00:19:22Then you are dafter than I thought.
00:19:24Let me remind you,
00:19:25your 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.
00:19:36We 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.
00:19:50Carl.
00:19:51Carl, are you all right?
00:19:52We are family.
00:19:55We 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.
00:20:09I'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.
00:20:31Oh.
00:20:32Oh.
00:20:32Oh.
00:20:33Oh.

00:34:22I'll have them punished for their wrongdoings.
00:34:24Their wrongdoings?
00:34:26I imagine then it was you who have allowed them to do this.
00:34:30And it is you who must be punished.
00:34:34Mercy, Your Grace.
00:34:36I'll have them flogged, exiled, punished to the extent of the law.
00:34:40Please, Your Grace, spare us.
00:34:44Cousin.
00:34:47It's my fault.
00:34:48See, Your Grace, I've been a fool.
00:34:52Punish me, flog me as you will.
00:34:55Let me live.
00:34:57We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.
00:35:01I don't want to die.
00:35:04Young Arthur, my son had just become a butler.
00:35:07He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.
00:35:11Please, we adore him so.
00:35:13You must kill him or exile him.
00:35:17Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's own brother.
00:35:22Oh, you're too cruel, Arthur.
00:35:26How can you do this to another Wellesley?
00:35:32Cruelty?
00:35:32Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?
00:35:36Threatening to leave them homeless and laughing in their face when they begged you?
00:35:40Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?
00:35:43Your own brother?
00:35:47And cousin Robert?
00:35:47What happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?
00:35:51Did you pity your poor cousin then?
00:35:54I've seen you for what you are.
00:35:57Shameless and wretched scum.
00:36:00You are unfit to live.
00:36:02Have them dealt with.
00:36:05And think about what you've done.
00:36:07You're meant to be noble.
00:36:09Not only in your actions, but in your name.
00:36:12See that your people behave.
00:36:13Or I'll have your title removed.
00:36:16I will see to them personally.
00:36:19Oh, please.
00:36:20Oh, sir.
00:36:21Please.
00:36:22Robert deceived me.
00:36:24It's all his fault.
00:36:26Please, Duke Arthur.
00:36:27Spare me.
00:36:28I'll do anything for you.
00:36:31Egypt.
00:36:32What are you doing?
00:36:35You villain.
00:36:36If it weren't for you, I never would have gotten involved with this mess.
00:36:40I'm calling out her engagement.
00:36:41From this moment onward, I'll have nothing to do with you.
00:36:45I beg of you, O great and honorable Duke.
00:36:47Forgive me.
00:36:49Don't you want to see what I have to offer?
00:36:53Save it, my brother.
00:36:55Lord Benjamin.
00:36:56Make sure these vermin never cross my path again.
00:37:01They make me sick.
00:37:07Guys, lock them up.
00:37:10Cousin, please.
00:37:11Won't you speak to him?
00:37:13Just let me go.
00:37:14I won't ever do it again.
00:37:17No.
00:37:19No.
00:37:19Cousin.
00:37:20Please.
00:37:21Please.
00:37:22Please.
00:37:23No.
00:37:26I'll do it again.
00:37:27I'll do it again.
00:37:27I'll do it again.
00:37:29And good news, Benjamin.
00:37:31I found my parents.
00:37:32That is wonderful, Your Grace.
00:37:35What a blessed day it is.
00:37:37I 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.
00:37:47Oh, and my sister too, Anna.
00:37:50I want to do something special for her as well.
00:37:53Did you just say Anna?
00:37:55It's in the maid, Anna.
00:37:57Right, Anna.
00:37:58She works here, doesn't she?
00:38:01Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:38:07Mr. Wellesley, Lord Benjamin says Anna is to attend to the Duke personally for the next few days.
00:38:18Did you just say Anna?
00:38:20It's in the maid, Anna.
00:38:22Right, Anna.
00:38:24She works here, doesn't she?
00:38:25Bring me to her.
00:38:26No, Your Grace.
00:38:28What?
00:38:29I thought that you fancied her, so I...
00:38:32What have you done?
00:38:34Bring me to her right now.
00:38:37You have fine features for a scullery maid.
00:38:51I can see why he likes you.
00:38:54Mr. Crowley, did you need something?
00:38:57Yes, pet.
00:38:59You've been chosen.
00:39:00Take off your clothes.
00:39:07What are you going to do to me?
00:39:09Oh, don't worry.
00:39:10I have no interest in you.
00:39:12I wouldn't dare.
00:39:16Put this on.
00:39:23Perfect.
00:39:24I can see why he chose you in particular.
00:39:28Mr. Crowley, what's all this about?
00:39:31The Baron has ordered you to meet another client.
00:39:34A big man.
00:39:35You are to be his mistress.
00:39:37To satisfy his physical needs, of course.
00:39:41An honor for a common whore like you.
00:39:44No, I refuse.
00:39:45You don't have a choice.
00:39:49Baron's orders.
00:39:53Do you even know who you are serving?
00:39:56It is the Duke.
00:39:57The one you poured tea on.
00:39:59What?
00:39:59The Duke?
00:40:00Aw, dumb already, are you?
00:40:03Still think you can say no, whore?
00:40:05Please, I don't want to.
00:40:06No.
00:40:07It's a good opportunity, damn it.
00:40:15Mr. Crowley, I'm betrothed.
00:40:17I don't want to be another man's mistress.
00:40:21Hadn't your father just fallen ill?
00:40:23Weren't you complaining about money?
00:40:25Don't you even want to help your family, you ingrate?
00:40:28Serve the Duke, and the money's yours.
00:40:43You'll have no short supply of expensive little trinkets.
00:40:53I would never sell my body.
00:40:57Not for a few coppers.
00:40:59Not for anything.
00:41:02I am a woman of honor.
00:41:04Honor is for people who deserve it, not a lowly whore like you.
00:41:20You don't get to stay now.
00:41:22Oh my God, please.
00:41:24Hands off.
00:41:26Oh no.
00:41:26You don't get to stay now.
00:41:28Oh my God, please.
00:41:32Hands off of her.
00:41:35He didn't hurt you, did he?
00:41:36Are you the Duke, sir?
00:41:39Sir, what is the meaning of this?
00:41:42You imbecile.
00:41:44But sir, you said...
00:41:45Have you no shame acting like this in my manner?
00:41:51Sir, this bitch refused your orders.
00:41:55It is my right as house steward to teach her a lesson.
00:42:02Apologize to her, or I'll have you fired.
00:42:05Apologize, sir, but she's the lowly scullery maid.
00:42:09She was out of line.
00:42:11A lowly maid, mark my words.
00:42:17She's Duke Arthur's sister.
00:42:23She's his sister?
00:42:25The lowly maid is his sister?
00:42:28Are you really my brother?
00:42:31My Arthur?
00:42:33Yes, Anna.
00:42:35I've come back to protect you, and mother, and father.
00:42:40Arthur, where have you been all these years?
00:42:43You missed you terribly.
00:42:45There, there.
00:42:45Let me deal with this man first.
00:42:54Once again, Lord Benjamin, your men have shown their true colors.
00:42:59Disgusting and vile.
00:43:01Sir, I failed to discipline them.
00:43:05But yes.
00:43:06Sir, Duke, I was wrong.
00:43:10I would have never treated her like that had I known that she was your sister.
00:43:15Yet you see no issue in treating her this way if she wasn't.
00:43:21Isn't that so?
00:43:23Lowly servants?
00:43:25They're worthless in your eyes, aren't they?
00:43:27Well, Mr. Stewart, you're worthless to me.
00:43:30No.
00:43:30It was Benjamin, the Baron.
00:43:32He asked me to.
00:43:33No, I didn't.
00:43:35What?
00:43:36Don't enter the dungeon.
00:43:37No.
00:43:38No, please.
00:43:39No, sir.
00:43:41No.
00:43:41No.
00:43:42No.
00:43:45Anna.
00:43:46Tell me truly.
00:43:48Are you all right?
00:43:49Yes.
00:43:50I am now.
00:43:52Because you're back.
00:43:53And I can't believe it.
00:43:54You're the Duke.
00:43:56Oh, let's go see Mother and Father.
00:43:58They'll be overjoyed.
00:43:59I just know it.
00:44:00Anna.
00:44:01I've already met them.
00:44:03Oh.
00:44:04Then you must know the years have been quite hard on them.
00:44:07But it's all worth it.
00:44:09Because you're back.
00:44:11Anna.
00:44:12Stay here.
00:44:13I'll bring them here.
00:44:14Okay?
00:44:14Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently of the Moors.
00:44:20John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.
00:44:25Yes, John and I are engaged, but...
00:44:28He's your fiancé, Anna.
00:44:30So I'll love him like a brother.
00:44:32Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.
00:44:35I want to show our parents high society.
00:44:37And invite John Moore.
00:44:40I'll speak to the king.
00:44:42See if he can grant him a noble title.
00:44:46As you wish, Duke Arthur.
00:44:48Is that the Moors' home?
00:44:57Fine place for a merchant family, but...
00:45:00They'll be able to afford better very soon.
00:45:05Well, we're here.
00:45:07The home of our supposed son-in-law.
00:45:09You tartaring fool.
00:45:20No!
00:45:21Why have you come back?
00:45:25John, this is your fiancé's father.
00:45:29You will call me Mr. Moore.
00:45:31And you are nothing to me.
00:45:35John!
00:45:35That's Mr. Moore.
00:45:38Shut up.
00:45:39I'm sorry.
00:45:40Mr. Moore.
00:45:42Please.
00:45:43Let's talk.
00:45:43And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancé?
00:45:46You've always been poor, but now you're liars, too.
00:45:51Mr. Moore, you know as well as I do.
00:45:53You've been betrothed to Anna for years.
00:45:56Your father and I, we had an arrangement.
00:45:58That 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...
00:46:12Oh, I know.
00:46:13Moni, isn't that right?
00:46:16Alms for the poor.
00:46:20Now away with you.
00:46:22Mr. Moore, we didn't come here today for money.
00:46:25That's enough!
00:46:26Your breath reeks.
00:46:29Beat some sense into the old caja and take him out of here.
00:46:34I'd like to see you try.
00:46:37I'd like to see you try.
00:46:43Arthur, my boy, they set you free.
00:46:47Rightfully so, father.
00:46:48Oh, Arthur.
00:46:49It's so good to see you alive and well.
00:46:52Father.
00:46:54Mother.
00:46:55Robert's been punished for what he did to you.
00:46:58You 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.
00:47:11Now, did I hear you say you wanted to have my father beaten?
00:47:15So what if I did?
00:47:18What's a runt like you going to do about it anyway?
00:47:21Cry?
00:47:22Piss your pants?
00:47:24Say that again.
00:47:31If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister, then you'd be wrong.
00:47:37Let go of me, you dirty dog.
00:47:45Resulting to violence now, are we?
00:47:47Like the lowlife you are.
00:47:50Come on, then.
00:47:52Hit me.
00:47:53And you regret ever being born.
00:47:55You think that can stop me?
00:47:57Who do you think you are?
00:47:59Oh, 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.
00:48:16And the duke is going to ask the king to grant you a title.
00:48:20Finally, you can be part of upper society and we can marry.
00:48:22A title?
00:48:23Adela, tell me it's true.
00:48:25I finally have a name to match my wealth.
00:48:27No one will be able to tell us what to do.
00:48:31No one will be able to say no to us.
00:48:35Of course it's true, John, darling.
00:48:37The duke adores my father.
00:48:38He's the baron, after all.
00:48:40In 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.
00:48:53And now that I'm rich, he wants to force me to marry his sister.
00:48:58What did you say?
00:49:01Oh, I see.
00:49:03You're that boy that was kidnapped as a child.
00:49:06Well then, be gone.
00:49:08We have nothing to give a shameless beggar.
00:49:12Oh, don't touch her, you disgusting man.
00:49:14Don't you know who my father is?
00:49:16Lord Benjamin, evidently.
00:49:18Don't you know?
00:49:19You, even your father watches his tongue around me.
00:49:23Ah!
00:49:23Adela!
00:49:25Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.
00:49:29How do you know manners and I'm 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?
00:49:38And what authority do you have over me?
00:49:40Every authority, peasant scum.
00:49:43My father is the Baron of Stamford.
00:49:46And now that you're all here, let it be known.
00:49:49I am not going to marry Anna.
00:49:52I am to be a noble, so do not let me catch sight of you all again.
00:49:57Going back on your word, John?
00:49:59That's unbecoming of your future title.
00:50:01I think John has made himself clear enough.
00:50:04Get 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.
00:50:15A 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.
00:50:35We cannot anger Mr. Moore.
00:50:38He's going to be a noble man.
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.
00:50:49Leave her.
00:50:51We'll go.
00:50:52But best you remember.
00:50:55It is the Wellesleys who called off this engagement.
00:50:59Because you, John Moore, are unfit for my sister.
00:51:04John Moore, are unfit for my sister.
00:51:11My word.
00:51:13Unfit.
00:51:14For you.
00:51:15Let's see.
00:51:16Servant.
00:51:17Servant.
00:51:18Beggar.
00:51:19Oh, you're too funny.
00:51:21Take this as a friendly warning, John.
00:51:24Lest you regret your decision later.
00:51:26I have no mind to regret anything regarding you lot.
00:51:29Now that that's settled, if you ever speak to us again, I will have your legs cut off.
00:51:37Come now.
00:51:38We have a banquet to attend.
00:51:48Oh, that's the moors for you.
00:51:50Some coin and they forget everything that we've ever done for them.
00:51:54Oh, Arthur.
00:51:54I wish we had had a better reception for you.
00:51:59Oh, 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?
00:52:07No.
00:52:08No, I...
00:52:09Please.
00:52:10I hope you haven't spent any coin on us, Arthur.
00:52:13What have you arranged?
00:52:14Just 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!
00:52:22Haven't you heard the Duke will be there?
00:52:24We can't possibly impose.
00:52:26It's...
00:52:27Like I said, mother.
00:52:29Don't worry.
00:52:31You'll see.
00:52:32Oh, sh...
00:52:33Lady Adela, this is all very splendid.
00:52:46You must introduce us to the Duke when he arrives.
00:52:49Oh, Mrs. Moore, of course.
00:52:52As the Baron of Stamford, my father is very close to the Duke.
00:52:56It's likely he was the one to recommend John in the first place.
00:53:00Of 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.
00:53:12I mean to ask Adela, why would someone like the Duke come to Stamford in the first place?
00:53:18Well, Stamford is his hometown.
00:53:20The king dispatched him here to oversee the building of a new fort.
00:53:25The real reason is his parents.
00:53:27He was separated from them when he was a child.
00:53:30Even 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.
00:53:40Mm-hmm.
00:53:40How did those peasants get in?
00:54:07This banquet, I've arranged it all for you.
00:54:10I'll introduce you to everyone shortly.
00:54:13Our third?
00:54:15Don't just...
00:54:16What do you mean for us?
00:54:18Mother, I'm serious.
00:54:21This is all for you.
00:54:23But...
00:54:23How 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.
00:54:40John, I thought you told them to get lost.
00:54:44Why are they back?
00:54:49John, I thought you told them to get lost.
00:54:52Why are they back?
00:54:53Damn lowlives.
00:54:54They must have tailed us in.
00:54:56I knew those ill-bred dogs would go away that easily.
00:55:01Scoundrels all.
00:55:02Mrs. Moore, rest easy.
00:55:06This banquet is held on the Duke's orders,
00:55:08and father asked me to see that our guests enjoy themselves.
00:55:12I have every authority to throw them out.
00:55:15Come.
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,
00:55:39not the gruel kitchen.
00:55:41I suggest you turn around immediately.
00:55:43And I suggest you shut your mouth.
00:55:46This 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,
00:56:02John 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.
00:56:12Lowborn as I may be,
00:56:13I'm still more noble than a harlot like you.
00:56:16You wench.
00:56:18I will not let you talk to Lady Adela like this.
00:56:21Apologize right now.
00:56:23I owe her nothing of the sort.
00:56:25She is the one who's courting an engaged man.
00:56:27I told your parents
00:56:29and your disgusting beggar of a brother
00:56:32I called off the engagement.
00:56:35You're not good enough for me.
00:56:37You're wrong.
00:56:38It's you who isn't good enough for me.
00:56:40I would never marry a man with such a fickle heart
00:56:43who would abandon his fiance
00:56:45just to chase after some harlot's coin.
00:56:47You dirty bitch.
00:56:52That's what you get for talking to my son like that.
00:56:59How dare you raise your hands to my daughter?
00:57:01How dare she insult my son?
00:57:04You're right, mother.
00:57:05We ought to slap some sense into them.
00:57:08Anna, look at yourself.
00:57:10You're nothing compared to Lady Adela.
00:57:13It's no wonder I chose her.
00:57:14Lady Adela is Lord Benjamin's daughter.
00:57:19What do you have that Lady Adela doesn't?
00:57:23Besides this useless beggar of a brother.
00:57:27Do not insult my brother.
00:57:29He is more noble than any of you.
00:57:38All this dirty work must have done you in.
00:57:40A beggar like him.
00:57:44You lowly peasants.
00:57:46None 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.
00:57:58What a pretty money-sucking leech.
00:58:09I would tell her I am disgusted by the implication.
00:58:14Despite her features,
00:58:16a maid that cleans chamber parts all day
00:58:19is more fit to marry a stable boy.
00:58:21Say that again and I'll make you pay.
00:58:23Oh, no.
00:58:26What are you going to do?
00:58:28Hit me?
00:58:30Well, come on, then.
00:58:31Have at it.
00:58:35Well,
00:58:36I do say I think this was the first time
00:58:39I heard someone ask for it.
00:58:40But
00:58:41I think we all heard him clearly enough.
00:58:45You feel it.
00:58:47You actually asked for it.
00:58:49I obliged.
00:58:53Lord Benjamin.
00:58:56The Duke has arrived.
00:58:58He's here already.
00:59:00We have to go.
00:59:01You asked for it.
00:59:02I am to be a noble
00:59:04and you will not offend me again.
00:59:07Why should I care?
00:59:08I'm sure Lord Benjamin would understand.
00:59:10Do not speak my father's name.
00:59:12You're dead.
00:59:13My father will see to it when he arrives.
00:59:16On your knees.
00:59:17And I demand you apologize to John now.
00:59:20And your filthy parents, too.
00:59:23Down!
00:59:23Who do you think you are
00:59:24barking orders at me?
00:59:25Don't think you're so high and mighty
00:59:27just because you followed us in.
00:59:29You've no right to speak to my son
00:59:31or Lady Adela like this.
00:59:32Don't you know
00:59:33how much I suffered
00:59:34being betrothed
00:59:35to your dirty whore of a sister?
00:59:38I will not
00:59:39let you embarrass me again.
00:59:41We've been gracious enough
00:59:45letting the matter go
00:59:46yet you shameless rats
00:59:47won't stop bothering us.
00:59:49Away!
00:59:50Off with you!
00:59:51Oh, Mrs. Moore.
00:59:52I have a much better idea.
00:59:55Let's add a few tears
00:59:56to their teary reunion.
00:59:58Guards!
01:00:02Execute him!
01:00:03No!
01:00:04I want to watch
01:00:05as they lose their precious son
01:00:06again.
01:00:08Oh, Lady Adela,
01:00:10I think if that's the case
01:00:11we ought to keep him alive.
01:00:13He's already a useless beggar.
01:00:16We ought to break his legs
01:00:17and keep him that way.
01:00:18Lisa!
01:00:19Lady Moore!
01:00:20Please!
01:00:21I apologize.
01:00:23I'll have Arthur repent
01:00:24right away!
01:00:25Yes, please.
01:00:26Pardon us.
01:00:27Arthur,
01:00:28please,
01:00:28I beg of you,
01:00:29apologize.
01:00:30Please.
01:00:32You've enough wit
01:00:32to be scared
01:00:33but it's too late.
01:00:35It's not my fault
01:00:36you've been grating
01:00:37on my nerves.
01:00:38I've nothing left
01:00:39for pity.
01:00:40Seems like you have
01:00:40quite a loud bark
01:00:41with no bite now.
01:00:44What did you just say
01:00:46to me?
01:00:48Mother,
01:00:49Father,
01:00:50I already told you
01:00:50this banquet is for you
01:00:52in honor of us
01:00:53all being together again.
01:00:55You have every right
01:00:56to enjoy yourself.
01:00:57And my sister was correct.
01:00:59You ought to apologize
01:01:00for your poor behavior
01:01:01in honor to have you
01:01:02thrown out.
01:01:03Soon,
01:01:04you'll be kneeling
01:01:05before us
01:01:05begging for the forgiveness.
01:01:06We have every right
01:01:07to withhold.
01:01:08A pity
01:01:09to have a son
01:01:10like him.
01:01:12Imagine spending
01:01:13ten years
01:01:13to find your son
01:01:14just to have him
01:01:15turn out like this.
01:01:16The real pity
01:01:17is what will be
01:01:17happening to you soon.
01:01:19I think I'll be
01:01:20quite happy
01:01:20in the future.
01:01:21Oh, yes.
01:01:24Happy.
01:01:25Very happy,
01:01:26I imagine,
01:01:26with your legs
01:01:27mangled,
01:01:28crawling on the ground.
01:01:30Oh,
01:01:31and your poor parents.
01:01:32I'm sure they'll be
01:01:33very joyous
01:01:34over such a sight.
01:01:36Seize them!
01:01:37Please, no!
01:01:39Presenting
01:01:40the Honorable
01:01:41Lord Benjamin,
01:01:42Baron of Stamford.
01:01:43Lord Benjamin is the most
01:01:49powerful man in Stamford,
01:01:51and he's backed
01:01:52by the Duke,
01:01:53whose authority
01:01:54is second only
01:01:55to the King.
01:01:56You poor,
01:01:57poor souls.
01:01:58We'll see what the Duke
01:01:59has to say
01:02:00when he hears about this.
01:02:01I reckon you'll all
01:02:02be beaten to death
01:02:03in the dungeons.
01:02:04Don't waste your breath,
01:02:05Madam.
01:02:06A commoner like him
01:02:07can't even fathom
01:02:08the great power
01:02:09the Duke has.
01:02:10Of course,
01:02:11Lady Adela.
01:02:12It'd be an honor
01:02:12for him to lay eyes
01:02:14on the gentlemen
01:02:14before he crushes them
01:02:16like the rats they are.
01:02:18No,
01:02:19I can't wait.
01:02:22How unfortunate
01:02:22it had to come to this.
01:02:24Yes,
01:02:25how unfortunate it is
01:02:26for you.
01:02:28Lord Benjamin
01:02:29is my father,
01:02:30and once I tell him
01:02:31what you've done
01:02:32to me
01:02:32and my dear John,
01:02:35he'll have you
01:02:35all beheaded.
01:02:37No!
01:02:38Oh,
01:02:39how lucky it is
01:02:40to be so
01:02:40simple-minded.
01:02:42You,
01:02:43half-dead codgers,
01:02:45and you,
01:02:46harlot.
01:02:47Huh.
01:02:48Any last words?
01:02:50No
01:02:51teary goodbyes?
01:02:52Or
01:02:53do you wish
01:02:54to die with him?
01:02:55John,
01:02:56please.
01:02:57Arthur was just
01:02:57impulsive.
01:02:58Please put in
01:02:59a good word for him.
01:03:00Get your dirty hands
01:03:01off of me!
01:03:02You scoundrel!
01:03:03I'll do it again!
01:03:04You scoundrel!
01:03:10I'll do it again!
01:03:13John!
01:03:14My darling boy!
01:03:15How dare you!
01:03:17Touch my parents again,
01:03:18and your family
01:03:19will pay.
01:03:20Let it be known,
01:03:21this night was meant
01:03:22to be a joyous one,
01:03:23and I did not wish
01:03:23to taint it
01:03:24with strife
01:03:25and bloodshed.
01:03:26I would have let you go,
01:03:28as awful as your behavior
01:03:29was to me.
01:03:30But you insulted
01:03:31my virtuous sister,
01:03:32and raised your hand
01:03:33to my saintly mother
01:03:34and father!
01:03:35Your actions beg
01:03:36for punishment,
01:03:37and I am happy
01:03:38to see to them.
01:03:41Let it be known,
01:03:42I plan to exile
01:03:43the Moore family
01:03:44from the good town
01:03:44of Stamford.
01:03:49Oh, you've gone mad.
01:03:51Truly mad.
01:03:53Lady Adela,
01:03:54have your men
01:03:54restrain him
01:03:55for the safety
01:03:56of your guests,
01:03:57and have him
01:03:58flogged in the dungeon.
01:03:59What's this again
01:04:02about the dungeons?
01:04:07Lord Benjamin,
01:04:08you've finally come.
01:04:09My lord,
01:04:10we've been troubled so
01:04:11by these lowly peasants.
01:04:13Father, it's them.
01:04:14I say we take them
01:04:15to the dungeons.
01:04:20This is the Duke's
01:04:21banquet, Adela.
01:04:23I will not tolerate
01:04:24your antics.
01:04:26Pardon me, father.
01:04:27It seems I've been lax
01:04:28where these lowly,
01:04:30dirty servants
01:04:30have snuck in.
01:04:32Lowly, dirty servants?
01:04:37Yes, father.
01:04:39The mister and missus
01:04:40are servants,
01:04:40and so is the daughter.
01:04:42And he's a beggar.
01:04:44A vile, disgusting man.
01:04:47Perhaps we could send them
01:04:48away with some scraps
01:04:49from the kitchens.
01:04:50I dare say they'd be better
01:04:51than anything
01:04:51they've ever tasted.
01:04:52Oh, father,
01:04:53please allow me
01:04:54to see it.
01:04:55I'll have their bones
01:04:56broken and left out
01:04:57for the dogs
01:04:58for disturbing
01:04:58the Duke's banquet.
01:05:01Silence!
01:05:03But, Lord Benjamin,
01:05:04why?
01:05:06Duke of Mercia,
01:05:08Arthur.
01:05:09Your grace,
01:05:10at your service.
01:05:13Hail to his grace,
01:05:14the Duke, Arthur.
01:05:15Lord Benjamin,
01:05:20I was promised a warm welcome.
01:05:40What is all of this?
01:05:41I'll see to it,
01:05:43your grace.
01:05:44My boy.
01:05:46What do the parents say?
01:05:47Is it Duke Arthur
01:05:48that he just called you?
01:05:50What?
01:05:52Sir.
01:05:53Madam.
01:05:55Please.
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.
01:06:07My boy.
01:06:09The Duke.
01:06:09That's my son.
01:06:12That's my son.
01:06:13He's the Duke.
01:06:15What did I say?
01:06:16My brother is more noble
01:06:18than anyone.
01:06:20Lord Benjamin,
01:06:21are you certain
01:06:22he's the Duke?
01:06:24Father,
01:06:25you said the Duke
01:06:27was a great man.
01:06:28You must be mistaken.
01:06:30You stupid girl.
01:06:33How could I be wrong?
01:06:35And you,
01:06:36you ought to be ashamed.
01:06:38How dare you do this
01:06:39to his grace,
01:06:40Duke Arthur.
01:06:41No.
01:06:42It can't be.
01:06:44Father,
01:06:44tell me it's a joke.
01:06:45It simply can't be.
01:06:47Get on your knees,
01:06:48girl.
01:06:49And maybe
01:06:49he'll forgive you.
01:06:53No.
01:06:54You said that the Duke
01:06:55was going to give John
01:06:55a title.
01:06:56Why would John
01:06:57call off the engagement
01:06:57to his sister?
01:07:00Ah!
01:07:01Maybe this will get
01:07:02through your thick skull.
01:07:04He is the Duke.
01:07:05the one and only.
01:07:08Guards,
01:07:08take her away
01:07:09until she's learned
01:07:10her lesson.
01:07:14Guards,
01:07:15take her away
01:07:16until she's learned
01:07:17her lesson.
01:07:18No!
01:07:20Father,
01:07:20no,
01:07:21he can't be,
01:07:21he can't be the Duke.
01:07:23He's simply the enemy.
01:07:27Your grace,
01:07:28I must apologize.
01:07:30That's enough.
01:07:31Your family
01:07:32has played
01:07:32your hand for.
01:07:33Duke Arthur,
01:07:34sir.
01:07:36Why,
01:07:36certainly.
01:07:37My son is still
01:07:38engaged to the
01:07:39Wellesley's daughter.
01:07:40Our connection
01:07:41is nothing to
01:07:42scoff at.
01:07:43Mother,
01:07:44my brother-in-law,
01:07:45a Duke,
01:07:46will be even richer.
01:07:50My brother-in-law,
01:07:52a Duke,
01:07:53will be even richer.
01:07:54We'll be set for life.
01:07:56Oh,
01:07:56married to the
01:07:57sister of the Duke.
01:07:58Oh, goodness.
01:08:00That must be why
01:08:01you want to give me
01:08:01a noble title,
01:08:03so I can marry
01:08:03Anna.
01:08:05Anna,
01:08:05can you believe it?
01:08:07Your brother,
01:08:08a Duke.
01:08:09What does that
01:08:09have to do with you?
01:08:10It has everything
01:08:11to do with me,
01:08:12darling.
01:08:13You're my fiancé,
01:08:14remember?
01:08:15Don't forget about me
01:08:16just because your
01:08:17brother's a Duke now.
01:08:18You are truly
01:08:18shameless,
01:08:20John.
01:08:20Don't be like that,
01:08:21my dear,
01:08:22darling fiancé.
01:08:23Fiancé,
01:08:24have you forgotten
01:08:25what you just
01:08:25called me?
01:08:27A dirty
01:08:27whore?
01:08:28Only fit
01:08:29to wait as
01:08:30tableboy,
01:08:31isn't that right?
01:08:32Oh,
01:08:32Anna,
01:08:33forgive him,
01:08:34would you?
01:08:35A pettiness
01:08:35doesn't suit
01:08:36a pretty face
01:08:37like yours.
01:08:38Women like us,
01:08:39we ought to
01:08:40understand
01:08:40our husband's
01:08:41temperaments.
01:08:43My sister,
01:08:45petty,
01:08:46that's rich
01:08:46coming from you.
01:08:48Oh,
01:08:49Duke Arthur,
01:08:50my brother,
01:08:51I must apologize
01:08:52for what I said.
01:08:53I'll apologize
01:08:54to Anna.
01:08:55There is no need.
01:08:56I have no wish
01:08:57to hear anything
01:08:58further from you.
01:08:59The woman
01:09:00has spoken,
01:09:00John.
01:09:01It seems my sister
01:09:02disdains
01:09:03your vile habits.
01:09:05Anna,
01:09:05this is all my fault.
01:09:07We grew up together,
01:09:08didn't we?
01:09:09I loved you.
01:09:11I did.
01:09:12This has all been
01:09:13a big misunderstanding,
01:09:14of course.
01:09:15I'm sure you can
01:09:16forgive me.
01:09:17Please,
01:09:18give me another chance.
01:09:19Yes, dear,
01:09:20just a misunderstanding.
01:09:23Let's put it
01:09:24all behind us now,
01:09:25shall we?
01:09:27Yeah.
01:09:28Forgive you!
01:09:29I don't think I will.
01:09:31It would be a sin
01:09:32to forget what you've
01:09:33done to my mother
01:09:34and father.
01:09:35My brother's title
01:09:36has nothing to do
01:09:37with you.
01:09:38I wish for you
01:09:38to be gone
01:09:39and never come back.
01:09:42Anna,
01:09:43forgive me.
01:09:47You're better than this.
01:09:49Please,
01:09:51forgive me.
01:09:53You're better than this.
01:09:57Leave my sister alone,
01:09:58scum.
01:09:59Your apology means nothing.
01:10:00Please,
01:10:01your grace,
01:10:02Duke 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. Wesley,
01:10:10madame,
01:10:11please ask Arthur
01:10:13to show us mercy.
01:10:15I was betrothed to Anna.
01:10:16I've shown her
01:10:18much kindness.
01:10:19Mother,
01:10:20please ask him
01:10:21to forgive me.
01:10:22I cannot live
01:10:23without Anna.
01:10:25Jane,
01:10:26please.
01:10:27I even got you
01:10:28the job
01:10:28at the Baron's Manor.
01:10:29Are you going
01:10:30to be so cruel
01:10:31as to forget
01:10:32everything I've done
01:10:33for you
01:10:33that John's done
01:10:34for you?
01:10:35A bit of compassion
01:10:37for an old friend?
01:10:39Yes,
01:10:40Mr. Wesley,
01:10:40please.
01:10:41I'll do anything
01:10:42for her.
01:10:43I'll give her
01:10:43whatever she wants.
01:10:45If you just,
01:10:46please forgive
01:10:47my one transgression.
01:10:49How dare you
01:10:50ask for compassion?
01:10:55How dare you
01:10:56ask for compassion?
01:10:58Have you shown
01:10:58any compassion
01:10:59to my father,
01:11:00to my mother?
01:11:02Those ten
01:11:02long years
01:11:03I was gone,
01:11:04did you help
01:11:05them at all?
01:11:06Did you give them
01:11:06any aid?
01:11:08You speak of them
01:11:08as an old friend,
01:11:10as if they have
01:11:10ever forsaken you.
01:11:12But you,
01:11:14had I not been
01:11:14announced as the Duke,
01:11:15you would have
01:11:16kicked them
01:11:16to the ground
01:11:16and spit
01:11:17on their bodies.
01:11:19You called off
01:11:20my sister's engagement
01:11:20for the first
01:11:21noble lady you saw.
01:11:23You do not
01:11:23deserve my mercy.
01:11:25Duke,
01:11:26Arthur,
01:11:27I...
01:11:28Silence!
01:11:29I've seen you
01:11:29at your worst.
01:11:31I've seen how
01:11:32you treated me.
01:11:33My father,
01:11:34my mother,
01:11:35Anna.
01:11:36You are a shameless,
01:11:38filthy villain.
01:11:40Be gone!
01:11:41Lord Benjamin.
01:11:44Yes, sir?
01:11:45Have the Moors
01:11:46removed from the manor.
01:11:51Lord Benjamin.
01:11:53Yes, sir?
01:11:54Have the Moors
01:11:54removed from the manor
01:11:55and forbid anyone
01:11:57from doing business
01:11:59with them
01:11:59in the town of Stanford.
01:12:00Yes, sir?
01:12:01Yes, sir?
01:12:01Much better.
01:12:08Father,
01:12:09mother,
01:12:10Anna,
01:12:13let us enjoy
01:12:14this banquet in peace.
01:12:16Arthur,
01:12:17this banquet
01:12:19is lovely.
01:12:21But nothing
01:12:23is better
01:12:24than us
01:12:24being reunited
01:12:25as a family.
01:12:27And together
01:12:28we'll be
01:12:29forever.
01:12:30Forever.
01:12:30Ha!
