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

00:53:23like i said mother don't worry you'll see oh
00:53:28lady adela this is all very splendid you must introduce us to the duke when he arrives
00:53:45oh mrs moore of course as the baron of stanford my father is very close to the duke it's likely he
00:53:52was the one to recommend john in the first place of course the duke would love to meet you i cannot
00:53:58believe it a noble title lady adela you are simply full of surprises you are the best match for john no
00:54:06doubt about it how do you mean to ask adela why would someone like the duke come to stanford in the
00:54:12first place where stanford is his hometown the king dispatched him here to oversee the building of a
00:54:19new fort the real reason is his parents he was separated from them when he was a child
00:54:25even this banquet i hear is all for them must be good noble people to rear such a fine man like the duke
00:54:33we must make a good impression
00:54:42how did those peasants get in
00:55:03this banquet i've arranged it all for you
