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.
00:04:16Kate!
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.
00:04:28He...
00:04:29No?
00:04:30You seen a boy?
00:04:31You seen Arthur?
00:04:31You saw her son?
00:04:32Right here with soldier people.
00:04:35Hey, are 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, that'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.
00:05:15It'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?
00:05:30He was doomed from the moment he met us!
00:05:37He's right.
00:05:39I saw my fault.
00:05:41He 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.
00:05:47Arthur.
00:05:51Where are you?
00:05:52Arthur.
00:05:534!
00:06:033!
00:06:064!
00:06:16I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:06:31Your Majesty, nothing escapes you.
00:06:34Nothing does escape me, which 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.
00:06:43The 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.
00:06:55You 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.
00:07:09Find your family.
00:07:11They would be so proud to see the man you've become.
00:07:16And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?
00:07:22I won't let you down, sir.
00:07:24I miss you.
00:07:35Robert, my sweet nephew.
00:07:37Here.
00:07:38All my wages.
00:07:41I'm depending on you.
00:07:43You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin.
00:07:47Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive.
00:07:51I'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 his necklace.
00:08:12Maybe he knows my Arthur.
00:08:14Have you lost your wits?
00:08:16Ask the Duke for help.
00:08:18Who do you think you are?
00:08:20Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the Duke for such trifles.
00:08:24Robert, please, just have him take a look.
00:08:27You...
00:08:38It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:08:41Don'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.
00:09:09Go!
00:09:10Get!
00:09:21That's the Duke.
00:09:23He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.
00:09:27The king treats him like a son.
00:09:30I don't know.
00:10:00Presenting as Grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:10:15Welcome, 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.
00:10:27It 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.
00:10:48May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:11:06Could this be me?
00:11:09Finding who this belongs to.
00:11:10I will see to this personally.
00:11:15Mom, where are you?
00:11:20The 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, then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my Arthur.
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.
00:12:03I must see the Duke.
00:12:05Have you lost your mind?
00:12:12I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:12:38Did someone call my name just now?
00:12:39Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:12:43No 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.
00:12:56Robert 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.
00:13:06That was the Duke, the 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.
00:13:32Just let me speak to him.
00:13:34Let me show him this.
00:13:48Robert!
00:13:50Robert!
00:13:51Don't!
00:13:52Not while the Duke is here.
00:13:54Robert!
00:13:56What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:58Anna.
00:13:59Give me that back I 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.
00:14:10But you're fun.
00:14:11Family?
00:14:12It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:14:16My 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 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.
00:14:49Mother, no!
00:14:58Mother, no!
00:15:02I don't get excited!
00:15:04Mother, 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, God.
00:15:24Now, 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.
00:15:50Oh, 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.
00:16:25Well, don't just sit there.
00:16:28Clean yourself up.
00:16:29Why does she seem so familiar?
00:16:32Why does she seem so familiar?
00:16:34It seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:16:39How could Robert do this to you?
00:16:43How 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?
00:17:06This place is so familiar to me.
00:17:09And it's strategic.
00:17:12I'll build a 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.
00:17:18I will start the process right away.
00:17:27Father?
00:17:29Yeah?
00:17:29What did the Duke say?
00:17:31Did he...
00:17:33Mother?
00:17:36What?
00:17:36I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:17:40No.
00:17:41He does resemble him, yes, but he didn't recognize the necklace.
00:17:47No.
00:17:48I'm so sorry.
00:17:52I thought I was him.
00:17:54I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.
00:17:57I know at least you'll sleep easier knowing this is by your side.
00:18:06Oh.
00:18:11Oh, your grace.
00:18:13I dare say you look as handsome as ever.
00:18:16These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:18:24Leave 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.
00:18:30Oh, it must be Anna.
00:18:40She must have forgot something.
00:18:43Anna?
00:18:43What are you all doing here?
00:18:54Especially after what you did to my wife.
00:18:56Long time no see, brother.
00:18:57Still living in this hovel, huh?
00:18:59Would you like some bread?
00:19:00Would you like some bread?
00:19:02We were just about to sit down for lunch, so I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:19:06You call this food?
00:19:07You call this food?
00:19:08The 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.
00:19:23What do you mean, Laura?
00:19:24What do you mean, Laura?
00:19:25Tell them, Robert.
00:19:26Tell them, Robert.
00:19:30It really is a shack, but 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.
00:19:48The 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?
00:20:10No, 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.
00:20:38You 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.
00:20:50Carl, are you all right?
00:20:51We are family.
00:20:55We are supposed to support each other.
00:20:57And if you can't do that, then leave.
00:20:58Then you've chosen death.
00:21:00So be it.
00:21:04This place really does feel so familiar.
00:21:11What?
00:21:13What 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.
00:21:31You're a monster.
00:21:33Sign it now.
00:21:35No.
00:21:36No.
00:21:38No.
00:21:38Stop it.
00:22:00Stop it.
00:22:01That's an order.
00:22:02What's a peasant like you doing here?
00:22:07Cross me and I'll beat you up too.
00:22:10You 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.
00:22:18I told him to see that every family is compensated fairly.
00:22:23And this is how you choose to do it?
00:22:24Good folks.
00:22:32You have my word.
00:22:34I 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?
00:22:46All we ask is that we remain here.
00:22:47We cannot leave our home, please.
00:22:49Rest assured, you will 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.
00:23:02Your son was taken, you say?
00:23:03Yes.
00:23:04He was only 13 years old.
00:23:07Taken far too young, conscripted by the Baron's soldiers.
00:23:11If we leave, he'll never find his way back.
00:23:14Please.
00:23:16Please, I beg of you.
00:23:21Is this Pindon?
00:23:22He was a token, a promise that my children and I would always be a family together.
00:23:32This one is for you, Arthur.
00:23:39What?
00:23:40Mother.
00:23:51Mother.
00:23:52Arthur.
00:23:54Oh, is it you?
00:23:57It's me, Mom.
00:23:58Mom.
00:23:59I've come home.
00:24:01My boy.
00:24:02Ten long years.
00:24:04We searched for you.
00:24:04And finally, you put back to us.
00:24:09I'm sorry.
00:24:11I've been a bad son.
00:24:13But I promise, I will give you the life you deserve from here on out.
00:24:17Please forgive me.
00:24:19Can we stop with the theatrics?
00:24:29Ten years have passed, and cousin Arthur returns as a peasant.
00:24:33I'd cry too if this were my son.
00:24:36Laura and George, do you see?
00:24:37Arthur 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.
00:24:59And George and Laura, I would prefer if you left.
00:25:03We would like to celebrate alone as a family.
00:25:05We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool.
00:25:09No, Robert, Shirley, you understand.
00:25:14You're family.
00:25:15We'd like to celebrate.
00:25:17This low life doesn't deserve anything.
00:25:22I'm done arguing with you at this pigsty.
00:25:26Don'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?
00:25:34Remember, I'm engaged to the prestigious Lady Edith.
00:25:39If she finds out about this, you'll all get a good beating.
00:25:42Go away!
00:25:47This is a joyous day, and I do not wish to spend it squabbling with you, Ilk.
00:25:57Kneel before us, apologize, and be gone.
00:26:01You son of a whore.
00:26:07I'm the Baron's butler, the highest on his staff.
00:26:11You think I'd kneel to a common maid?
00:26:15You better show your respect.
00:26:17Now will you go?
00:26:23You scum!
00:26:25I'll have you know just how much I am worth.
00:26:28Inform Lady Edith.
00:26:29Ask her to come, won't you?
00:26:30Yes, Mr. Wellesley.
00:26:32Well, well, well.
00:26:34You 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?
00:26:43That's Baron Stamford to you.
00:26:45On the contrary, I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.
00:26:51Are 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.
00:27:11The Duke has dismissed his guards and gone on a stroll.
00:27:14Where to?
00:27:15Around 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.
00:27:25What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:27:28Did 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
00:27:46son even hit me.
00:27:50You scumbag.
00:27:52How dare you lay your dirty hands on my fiancé?
00:27:55Do you know who I am?
00:27:56Why 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.
00:28:10You'll pay for what you've done.
00:28:12Bring him to the dungeons.
00:28:14No.
00:28:15I'll teach him a lesson.
00:28:16No, no, no, no, please don't.
00:28:17Please don't.
00:28:18No, please don't.
00:28:19Lord Benjamin's cousin.
00:28:22Is this how he taught you to behave?
00:28:24Oh.
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.
00:28:37Guards, seize him.
00:28:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:28:40Take care of the police.
00:28:41He just came back.
00:28:42Please don't.
00:28:44Let 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.
00:28:53I could kill you right now if I wanted to.
00:28:56Kill me?
00:28:57No.
00:28:57Is that right?
00:28:58No.

00:52:30your legs cut off come now we have a banquet to attend
00:52:35oh that's the moores for you some coin and they forget everything they've ever done for them
00:52:49oh arthur i wish we had had a better reception for you oh mother don't say that please i've already
00:52:57arranged something for you i finally found you that's cause for celebration you've arranged something
00:53:03no no please i hope you haven't spent any coin on us arthur what have you arranged just something
00:53:11small at the baron's manor don't worry mother it's been paid for but the parents matter
00:53:17arthur we haven't you heard the duke will be there we can't possibly impose it's like i said mother
00:53:24don't worry you'll see lady adela this is all very splendid you must introduce us to the duke when
00:53:44he arrives oh mrs moore of course as the baron of stanford my father is very close to the duke
00:53:51it's likely he was the one to recommend john in the first place of course the duke would love to
00:53:57meet you i cannot believe it a noble title lady adela you are simply full of surprises you are the
00:54:04best match for john no doubt about it how do you mean to ask adela why would someone like the duke
00:54:11come to stanford in the first place well stanford is his hometown the king dispatched him here to
00:54:18oversee the building of a new fort the real reason is his parents he was separated from them when he
00:54:24was a child even this banquet i hear is all for them must be good noble people to rear such a fine
