00:00:00Once upon a time, the kingdom of Mercia is at war.

00:00:04Every man must stand and fight.

00:00:08No.

00:00:10No.

00:00:11Please.

00:00:13I don't want to go to war.

00:00:14Spare me.

00:00:18I'm scared, Arthur.

00:00:20Will they take you and Papa away, too?

00:00:23No, they won't.

00:00:26Okay?

00:00:26I got something for both of you.

00:00:30I had these blessed by the church today.

00:00:34This one is for you, Arthur.

00:00:39And this one, Anna, is for you.

00:00:42May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:00:49Thank you, Mom.

00:00:52I love you.

00:00:55Mama?

00:00:56Yes.

00:00:57My belly hurts.

00:00:58I think I need to go potty.

00:01:00I see.

00:01:03Yes.

00:01:03Wait.

00:01:04Mama.

00:01:05It'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, but 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.

00:02:26Bye.

00:02:27Bye.

00:02:28Bye.

00:02:29Mom!

00:02:45Wait.

00:02:51Have you seen my son?

00:02:53Have you seen Arthur?

00:02:55The barrensmen took him.

00:02:57They're marching him to the border.

00:02:59They're sending him to war.

00:03:01No!

00:03:03No!

00:03:05Jane!

00:03:15Jane!

00:03:17You're hurt!

00:03:19Carl, they took him.

00:03:21We have to get him.

00:03:23He's only 13. He wants to arrive on the battlefield.

00:03:25We...

00:03:27Let's go.

00:03:29No?

00:03:30Have you seen a boy? Have you seen Arthur?

00:03:31He's our son?

00:03:32Right here with soldier people.

00:03:35Hey, are you soldiers of the barren?

00:03:37Have you seen a boy?

00:03:38A strong lad.

00:03:39Brown hair.

00:03:40About this tall.

00:03:41The boy we took from the market, is it?

00:03:43Yes.

00:03:44Yes, that's him.

00:03:45Where is he?

00:03:46Your boy is either dead or going to be soon.

00:03:48He can't be. You're lying.

00:03:50Away with you, woman!

00:03:51Give me back my son!

00:03:53The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old. Arthur's 13!

00:03:58Please!

00:04:04If you didn't want him gone, you should have kept him at home!

00:04:06You have no one to blame but yourself!

00:04:08It's all my fault I killed him.

00:04:12I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself.

00:04:15It's...

00:04:16Shut up, wench!

00:04:17Or I'll make you join him real soon!

00:04:22Comet, now!

00:04:23Foolish as they are!

00:04:24We 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!

00:04:32No!

00:04:37He's right!

00:04:39It's all my fault I shouldn't have let him alone.

00:04:42You mustn't do this to yourself!

00:04:44We will bring our boy home!

00:04:47Arthur...

00:04:51Where are you?

00:05:02I have a feeling I know why you're here.

00:05:29Your Majesty.

00:05:31Nothing escapes you.

00:05:34Nothing does escape me.

00:05:35Which 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...

00:05:50Go, go.

00:05:53Go, my boy.

00:05:56You 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.

00:06:07Go back to Stamford.

00:06:09Find your family.

00:06:11They would be so proud to see the man you've become.

00:06:15And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?

00:06:23I won't let you down, sir.

00:06:24I miss you.

00:06:25Robert, my sweet nephew.

00:06:26Here.

00:06:27All my wages.

00:06:28I'm depending on you.

00:06:29You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin. I beg of you.

00:06:34Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive. I'll look into it, but not today.

00:06:40The Duke is coming to Stamford. Everything has to be perfect.

00:06:42The Duke is coming.

00:06:43Robert, my sweet nephew. Here.

00:06:44All my wages.

00:06:45I'm depending on you.

00:06:46I'm depending on you.

00:06:47You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin, I beg of you.

00:06:52Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive. I'll look into it. But not today.

00:06:55The duke is coming to Stamford. Everything 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, so perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with his necklace.

00:07:13Maybe he knows my Arthur.

00:07:15Have you lost your wits?

00:07:17Ask the duke for help? Who do you think you are?

00:07:21Even the baron wouldn't dare trouble the duke for such trifles.

00:07:25Robert, please, just have him take a look.

00:07:39It's your own fault you lost your son. Don't blame other people for your own negligence.

00:07:45It is my fault. I should have never let him out of my sight. I regret it every single day.

00:07:50But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages, you would help me find my son.

00:07:56I told you not today. The duke could be here any second.

00:08:02Get lost before he sees your ugly face.

00:08:08The duke is here. Go. Get.

00:08:11That's the duke. He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.

00:08:27The king treats him like a son.

00:08:29The duke is here.

00:08:30The duke is the one that defeated the life of motherMary.

00:08:34Manly fueled the denmark Earth after he caught up on his cualar for her and failed and sounds a big fan of his Support Team.

00:08:54Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.

00:09:16Welcome, 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.

00:09:27I beg for your forgiveness.

00:09:29It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.

00:09:32You are too kind, your grace.

00:09:34I've returned to find my family.

00:09:36Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.

00:09:39I shall have them brought here at once.

00:09:41My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.

00:09:46But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.

00:09:52May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:10:07Could this be me?

00:10:10Find who this belongs to.

00:10:11I will see to this personally.

00:10:16Mom, where are you?

00:10:21The Duke of Mercia has come to the Baron's Manor.

00:10:26The king must hold him in high regard.

00:10:29They say he's looking for his family.

00:10:31Who 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.

00:10:40Then possibly the Duke is my Arthur.

00:10:46Don'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.

00:11:02No.

00:11:02I must see the Duke.

00:11:06Have you lost your mind?

00:11:26I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.

00:11:32Did someone call my name just now?

00:11:41Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.

00:11:44No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.

00:11:50What were you thinking?

00:11:54Your actions will bring my family down with you.

00:11:57Robert just became butler.

00:11:59I won't have you ruining things for him.

00:12:02I swear that was my son.

00:12:05That was Arthur.

00:12:06You have truly gone mad.

00:12:08That was the Duke.

00:12:10The second most important man in the entire kingdom.

00:12:13How could a man of such standing be your son?

00:12:18He looked just like him.

00:12:20I swear that...

00:12:21Ow!

00:12:23Ow!

00:12:24Do you mean to get us all hung?

00:12:27Calling the Duke your son?

00:12:29What an insult to that fine gentleman.

00:12:32Please.

00:12:33Just let me speak to him.

00:12:36Let me show him this.

00:12:37Robert!

00:12:49Robert!

00:12:52Robert!

00:12:52Don't!

00:12:53Not while the Duke is here.

00:12:56Robert!

00:12:57What are you doing to my mother?

00:13:00Anna!

00:13:02Give me that back.

00:13:03I needed to find Arthur.

00:13:05Worthless piece of junk.

00:13:07Robert, we're a family.

00:13:09We're supposed to help each other.

00:13:11But you're fun.

00:13:12Family?

00:13:14It'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.

00:13:27You know what?

00:13:27I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur,

00:13:31and you...

00:13:32You never even planned to find Arthur.

00:13:37You never even thought to look for him.

00:13:40You liar!

00:13:41You cheat!

00:13:43Give me back my coin!

00:13:45Don't touch me with your filthy hands!

00:13:48In this,

00:13:49say goodbye to your son.

00:13:51No!

00:13:56No!

00:13:58Mother!

00:13:59Mother, no!

00:14:05Mother, no!

00:14:07No!

00:14:10Come, Mother.

00:14:11Let's go.

00:14:14Oh, Anna, what have I done?

00:14:16We'll never be able to find Arthur.

00:14:18Arthur, not with this.

00:14:18It's all right.

00:14:19It's all right, Mother.

00:14:20Have you forgotten?

00:14:21I carry one, too.

00:14:24Oh, my God.

00:14:25Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,

00:14:29I'll see what I can do.

00:14:41Arthur, my brother,

00:14:43could it really be you?

00:14:44Your grace,

00:14:49my lord.

00:15:09Oh, forgive me, your grace.

00:15:11Useless girl.

00:15:16Your grace,

00:15:17are you all right?

00:15:19I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.

00:15:21No need to punish her for a simple mistake.

00:15:24Your kindness humbles us all.

00:15:27Well,

00:15:28don't just sit there.

00:15:29Clean yourself up.

00:15:34Why does she seem so familiar?

00:15:37Seems that I have someone

00:15:39the Duke might want.

00:15:43How could Robert do this to you?

00:15:47He'd beat you.

00:15:50You're his aunt for crying out loud.

00:15:52Oh, Carl.

00:15:54You know your family

00:15:55has always been cruel to us.

00:15:57It's only going to get worse

00:15:59now that Robert is

00:16:01butler to the baron.

00:16:04Mother?

00:16:05Father?

00:16:05This place is so familiar to me

00:16:10and it's strategic.

00:16:14I'll build a new fort here.

00:16:16See to it that all the families

00:16:17along this road

00:16:18are asked to leave

00:16:19and compensate them well.

00:16:21I will start the process right away.

00:16:29Father.

00:16:31What did the Duke say?

00:16:32Did he?

00:16:37Mother.

00:16:37What?

00:16:39I don't think the Duke

00:16:40is our Arthur.

00:16:42No.

00:16:43He does.

00:16:44He does resemble him, yes,

00:16:46but

00:16:46he didn't recognize the necklace.

00:16:49No.

00:16:51I'm so sorry.

00:16:54I thought it was him.

00:16:55I wanted to come back

00:16:57and give you the necklace.

00:16:58I know at least

00:17:00you'll sleep easier

00:17:01knowing this is by your side.

00:17:10Oh, your grace.

00:17:15I dare say

00:17:16you look as handsome as ever.

00:17:18These clothes

00:17:19are much more comfortable.

00:17:26Leave me.

00:17:26I wish to explore

00:17:28the city by myself.

00:17:29See if anything

00:17:30can jog my memory.

00:17:31Yes, your grace.

00:17:41Well, it must be Anna.

00:17:42She must have forgot something.

00:17:45Anna?

00:17:46What are you all doing here?

00:17:56Especially after what you did

00:17:57to my wife.

00:17:58Long time no see, brother.

00:17:59Still living in this hovel, huh?

00:18:02Would you like some bread?

00:18:04We were just about to sit down

00:18:06for lunch,

00:18:07so I can offer you

00:18:08a fresh loaf.

00:18:09You call this food?

00:18:11The baron's dogs

00:18:13wouldn't eat this.

00:18:19But fortune favors

00:18:21the undeserving.

00:18:23Now you'll be able

00:18:24to buy some real food.

00:18:26What do you mean, Laura?

00:18:28Tell them, Robert.

00:18:29It really is a shack,

00:18:40but luckily it'll be gone soon.

00:18:43Your land has been seized.

00:18:44This entire street

00:18:45will be dug up

00:18:46to make way

00:18:47for the new fort.

00:18:47To bolster our defenses.

00:18:50The order came directly

00:18:51from the duke himself.

00:18:53No.

00:18:53But you will be

00:18:54well compensated

00:18:56for the trouble.

00:18:58What?

00:18:58Just sign here

00:19:00and you'll receive

00:19:0120 gold pieces.

00:19:04As your brother,

00:19:05I should be entitled to half.

00:19:07But as you have no son

00:19:08and I have a son,

00:19:10I ought to take two thirds.

00:19:12What?

00:19:12No, this is our family home.

00:19:14What?

00:19:15No.

00:19:16If Arthur returns,

00:19:17how will he find

00:19:18his way home?

00:19:19She's right.

00:19:19We won't give up our land.

00:19:21Not for 20 gold coins.

00:19:22Not for nothing.

00:19:23Then you are dafter

00:19:24than I thought.

00:19:25Let me remind you,

00:19:26your son is not coming back

00:19:29because he's dead.

00:19:32No.

00:19:32No, no, no.

00:19:33You hold your tongue.

00:19:34Arthur will return.

00:19:35And when we remain here

00:19:36until he does,

00:19:37we won't give up hope.

00:19:39Not for any penny coin.

00:19:40You don't get a say.

00:19:42The order comes from above.

00:19:44Enough of this insolence.

00:19:45Leave my house at once.

00:19:46Leave my house.

00:19:47Carl.

00:19:50Carl.

00:19:52Carl, you're right.

00:19:55We are family.

00:19:57We are supposed to support each other

00:19:59and if you can't do that,

00:20:00then leave.

00:20:01Then you've chosen death.

00:20:02So be it.

00:20:07This place really does feel so familiar.

00:20:10I'll tell you this one last time.

00:20:23Sign the damn contract

00:20:24or I'll beat you to death.

00:20:26You are his brother.

00:20:27How can you do this to him?

00:28:00Kill me?

00:28:01No.

00:28:01Is that right?

00:28:02No.

00:28:03Fine.

00:28:13Please, please don't hurt him now, Arthur.

00:28:16Father.

00:28:17Mother.

00:28:18Don't worry.

00:28:27Well, well.

00:28:29I didn't expect that runt to hit me.

00:28:31Just wait.

00:28:32The two of you will join him soon.

00:28:34Let's go, Father.

00:28:36Serves you right, brother.

00:28:42I don't know.

00:28:48What happened here?

00:28:49Lord Benjamin, it was all your butler's doing.

00:28:54And your cousin, Lady Edith.

00:28:56They even took my son to the dungeon.

00:28:58Your son?

00:29:02Tall and with dark hair?

00:29:03We need to go.

00:29:10Now!

00:29:10God, Carl, what are we going to do?

00:29:14Because Arthur's gone.

00:29:16Anne.

00:29:17Anne is engaged to John Moore.

00:29:19The Moors can help.

00:29:20They're engaged, yes, but that was years ago.

00:29:22John Moore's a rich man now.

00:29:23He's really...

00:29:24We have to try, Carl.

00:29:25Please.

00:29:27You're right.

00:29:28We have to try.

00:29:28You're right.

00:29:28We have to try.

00:29:29We have to find our son.

00:29:30What happened to that fire?

00:29:37That rage?

00:29:38Scared of the consequences now, runt?

00:29:40Consequences?

00:29:42For giving you what you deserve.

00:29:43Watch your mouth.

00:29:52Your family is done for, and you're still talking back.

00:29:57No, my lady.

00:29:58It's your family that's done for.

00:30:01I've made up my mind.

00:30:02I will not spare you.

00:30:03Me needing sparing from you.

00:30:08You've gone mad.

00:30:10It seems like you've gotten it in your head that you could do something to us.

00:30:19Let me remind you of your place.

00:30:32You insolent brat!

00:30:34What are you doing?

00:30:38Reminding you of your place.

00:30:43Stop it or I'll have you killed!

00:30:45You have me killed.

00:30:48You've got the wrong man.

00:30:49Consider it your warning, cousin.

00:31:05The gall of you!

00:31:08Threatening me and then calling yourself my cousin!

00:31:11I won't let you off easy!

00:31:12Oh!

00:31:13You want another go?

00:31:14Still trying to act tough!

00:31:16It seems like we'll need to teach you a lesson.

00:31:19Guards!

00:31:21Flog him!

00:31:24Hold it!

00:31:27You're not flogging anyone.

00:31:33Hold it!

00:31:34Oh, cousin, you don't understand.

00:31:43This lowly scum had disregarded your orders and impeded the Duke's relocation efforts and...

00:31:48And he even tried to punch me!

00:31:50Cousin Benjamin, you must see to it that he is punished.

00:31:53Stopped oinking once the Baron showed up, hmm?

00:31:57Your side of the Wellesley family is going to be dinner.

00:31:59Sir, this lowly villain is, unfortunately, my cousin.

00:32:05Just like his parents, they've no regard for your authority.

00:32:08That's right, Benjamin.

00:32:09What happened again?

00:32:11We had gone to the less fortunate Wellesley's to evict them, but he tried to stop us.

00:32:15So, Edith had him brought here to teach him a lesson.

00:32:19But it looks like he hasn't learned anything.

00:32:22Oh, sir, you don't know the half of it.

00:32:24He hit us and ordered us to kneel to him.

00:32:27He even said that you were lowlier than he.

00:32:30You must punish him accordingly.

00:32:33As I was saying, the consequences of your actions...

00:32:38Oh!

00:32:39You fool.

00:32:41There will be consequences, all right.

00:32:43For you!

00:32:44What for, sir?

00:32:47Have I done something wrong, sir?

00:32:49I don't...

00:32:50Cousin, you misunderstand.

00:32:52There is no misunderstanding.

00:32:57Have you lost your mind?

00:32:58Do you know who this man is?

00:33:04Do you know who this man is?

00:33:06He's nothing but a beggar, the son of peasants.

00:33:09Get out of my sight, you pathetic woman.

00:33:18Duke of Mercia, your grace.

00:33:22Pardon my tardiness.

00:33:26Duke?

00:33:27What do you mean, Duke?

00:33:29Sir, you must be mistaken.

00:33:31Rightly so.

00:33:32He's a peasant, a beggar.

00:33:35How could he be the Duke?

00:33:36Don't question me.

00:33:41No.

00:33:41No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:33:43This is possible.

00:33:44How can you say you're the Duke?

00:33:48Shut it, Wellesley.

00:33:50You have no right to speak.

00:33:52That lowlife's the Duke?

00:33:54Carl's son is the Duke?

00:33:56Oh, no.

00:33:57No.

00:33:58George, what have we done?

00:33:59Oh.

00:34:06Lord Vengeance, it seems that you've neglected your duties as baron.

00:34:13Your people have shown me nothing but disdain.

00:34:17They take from the poor, torture your innocent, pillage and kill.

00:34:22Have you no order in Stanford?

00:34:24I'll have them punished for their wrongdoings.

00:34:27Their wrongdoings?

00:34:28I imagine then, it was you who have allowed them to do this.

00:34:33And it is you who must be punished.

00:34:36Mercy, Your Grace.

00:34:38I will have them flogged, exiled, punished to the extent of the law.

00:34:43Please, Your Grace, spare us.

00:34:46Cousin.

00:34:49It's my fault.

00:34:51See, Your Grace, I've been a fool.

00:34:54You will punish me, flog me, as you will.

00:34:58We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.

00:35:04I don't want to die.

00:35:06Young Arthur, my son had just become a butler.

00:35:09He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.

00:35:13Please, we adore him so.

00:35:16You must kill him or exile him.

00:35:19Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's own brother.

00:35:25Oh, you're too cruel, Arthur.

00:35:28How can you do this to another Wellesley?

00:35:34Cruelty?

00:35:36Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?

00:35:38Threatening to leave them homeless and laughing in their face when they begged you!

00:35:43Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?

00:35:45Your own brother?

00:35:49And cousin Robert?

00:35:51What happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?

00:35:54Did you pity your poor cousin then?

00:35:57I've seen you for what you are.

00:35:59Shameless and wretched scum.

00:36:02You are unfit to live.

00:36:04Have them dealt with.

00:36:08And think about what you've done.

00:36:10You're meant to be noble.

00:36:11Not only in your actions, but in your name.

00:36:14See that your people behave.

00:36:16Or I'll have your title removed.

00:36:18I will see to them personally.

00:36:21Oh, please.

00:36:23Oh, sir.

00:36:23Please.

00:36:25Robert deceived me.

00:36:26It's all his fault.

00:36:28Please, Duke Arthur.

00:36:29Spare me.

00:36:30I'll do anything for you.

00:36:33Egypt.

00:36:34What are you doing?

00:36:37You villain.

00:36:39If it weren't for you, I never would have gotten involved with this mess.

00:36:42I'm calling on her engagement.

00:36:44From this moment onward, I'll have nothing to do with you.

00:36:47I beg of you, O Graydon, Honorable Duke.

00:36:50Forgive me.

00:36:52Don't you want to see what I have to offer?

00:36:56Save it, Sloth.

00:36:58Lord Benjamin.

00:36:59Make sure these vermin never cross my path again.

00:37:04They make me sick.

00:37:10Guards!

00:37:11Lock them up.

00:37:12Cousin, please!

00:37:13Won't you speak to him?

00:37:15Just let me go.

00:37:17I won't ever do it again.

00:37:20No!

00:37:21No!

00:37:22Sir!

00:37:23Please!

00:37:25Please!

00:37:25No!

00:37:31In good news, Benjamin, I found my parents.

00:37:35That is wonderful, Your Grace.

00:37:37What a blessed day it is.

00:37:39I wish to host a banquet tonight.

00:37:41Introduce my parents to Upper Society.

00:37:45Life has been cruel to them.

00:37:47And I wish for them to live happily.

00:37:50Oh, and my sister too, Anna.

00:37:53I want to do something special for her as well.

00:37:55Did you just say Anna?

00:37:58It's in the maid, Anna.

00:37:59Right.

00:38:00Anna.

00:38:01She works here, doesn't she?

00:38:02Uh, seems that I have someone the Duke might want.

00:38:10Mr. Wellesley, Lord Benjamin says Anna is to attend to the Duke personally for the next few days.

00:38:16Did you just say Anna?

00:38:23It's in the maid, Anna.

00:38:25Right.

00:38:26Anna.

00:38:26She works here, doesn't she?

00:38:28Uh...

00:38:28Bring me to her.

00:38:29Uh, no, Your Grace.

00:38:30I...

00:38:31What?

00:38:32I thought...

00:38:33I thought that you fancied her, so I...

00:38:35What have you done?

00:38:36Bring me to her right now!

00:38:38You have fine features.

00:38:51For a scullery maid, I can see why he likes you.

00:38:57Mr. Crowley, did you need something?

00:39:00Yes, pet.

00:39:02You've been chosen.

00:39:03Take off your clothes.

00:39:10What are you going to do to me?

00:39:12Oh, don't worry.

00:39:13I have no interest in you.

00:39:15I wouldn't dare.

00:39:19Put this on.

00:39:26Perfect.

00:39:28I can see why he chose you in particular.

00:39:31Mr. Crowley, what's all this about?

00:39:33The Baron has ordered you to meet another client.

00:39:37A big man.

00:39:38You are to be his mistress.

00:39:40To satisfy his physical needs, of course.

00:39:44An honor for a common whore like you.

00:39:47No, I refuse.

00:39:49You don't have a choice.

00:39:52Baron's orders.

00:39:55Do you even know who you are serving?

00:39:59It is the Duke.

00:40:00The one you poured tea on.

00:40:02Oh, the Duke?

00:40:03Aw, dumb already, are you?

00:40:06Still think you can say no, whore?

00:40:08Please, I don't want to.

00:40:14It's a good opportunity, dammit.

00:40:18Mr. Crowley, I'm the troll type.

00:40:20I don't want to be another man's mistress.

00:40:24Hadn't your father just fallen ill?

00:40:26Weren't you complaining about money?

00:40:28Don't you even want to help your family, you ingrate?

00:40:31Serve the Duke, and the money's yours.

00:40:46You'll have no short supply of expensive little trinkets.

00:40:50I would never sell my body, not for a few coppers, not for anything.

00:41:05I am a woman of honor.

00:41:07Honor is for people who deserve it, not a lowly whore like you.

00:41:12You don't get to say no!

00:41:25Oh, my God, please!

00:41:27Hands off!

00:41:29You don't get to say no!

00:41:31Oh, my God, please!

00:41:35Hands off of her!

00:41:38He didn't hurt you, did he?

00:41:39Are you the Duke, sir?

00:41:43Sir, what is the meaning of this?

00:41:45You imbecile!

00:41:47But, sir, you said...

00:41:50Have you no shame acting like this in my manner?

00:41:55Surrey, this bitch refused your orders.

00:41:59It is my right as house steward to teach her a lesson.

00:42:05Apologize to her, or I'll have you fired.

00:42:09Apologize, sir, but she's the lowly scullery maid.

00:42:13She was out of line!

00:42:16A lowly maid?

00:42:19Mark my words, she's Duke Arthur's sister.

00:42:26She's his sister?

00:42:28The lowly maid is his sister?

00:42:31Arthur, are you really my brother?

00:42:35My Arthur?

00:42:37Yes, Anna.

00:42:38I've come back to protect you, and mother, and father.

00:42:43Arthur!

00:42:44Where have you been all these years?

00:42:46You just do terribly.

00:42:48There, there.

00:42:51Let me deal with this man first.

00:42:52Once again, Lord Benjamin, your men have shown their true colors.

00:43:02Disgusting and vile.

00:43:05Sir, I failed to discipline them.

00:43:08But yes, sir.

00:43:11Duke, I was wrong.

00:43:13I would have never treated her like that had I known that she was your sister.

00:43:17Yet you see no issue in treating her this way if she wasn't.

00:43:24Isn't that so?

00:43:27Lowly servants?

00:43:28They're worthless in your eyes, aren't they?

00:43:30Well, Mr. Stewart, you're worthless to me.

00:43:33No!

00:43:34It was Benjamin, the Baron!

00:43:35He asked me to!

00:43:36No, I didn't!

00:43:38God's!

00:43:39Throw him into the dungeon!

00:43:40No!

00:43:41No, please!

00:43:42No, sir!

00:43:44No!

00:43:45No!

00:43:46No!

00:43:48Anna, tell me truly.

00:43:51Are you all right?

00:43:53Yes, I am now.

00:43:55Because you're back.

00:43:56And I can't believe it.

00:43:58You're the Duke.

00:43:59Oh, let's go see Mother and Father.

00:44:01They'll be overjoyed.

00:44:02I just know it.

00:44:03Anna, I've already met them.

00:44:06Oh, then you must know the years have been quite hard on them.

00:44:11But it's all worth it.

00:44:12Because you're back.

00:44:14Anna, stay here.

00:44:16I'll bring them here.

00:44:18Okay?

00:44:19Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently of the Moors.

00:44:24John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.

00:44:27Yes, John and I are engaged, but...

00:44:31He's your fiancé, Anna.

00:44:33So I'll love him like a brother.

00:44:35Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.

00:44:38I want to show our parents high society.

00:44:41And invite John Moore.

00:44:44I'll speak to the king.

00:44:45See if he can grant him a noble title.

00:44:47As you wish, Duke Arthur.

00:44:59Is that the Moors' home?

00:45:00Fine place for a merchant family, but...

00:45:03They'll be able to afford better very soon.

00:45:05Well, we're here.

00:45:10Yeah.

00:45:11The home of our supposed son-in-law.

00:45:13Yeah.

00:45:13You tottering fool.

00:45:23John!

00:45:24Why have you come back?

00:45:28John, this is your fiancé's father.

00:45:31You will call me Mr. Moore.

00:45:36And you are nothing to me.

00:45:38John!

00:45:39That's Mr. Moore.

00:45:41Shut up.

00:45:42I'm sorry.

00:45:44Mr. Moore, please, let's talk.

00:45:47And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancé?

00:45:51You've always been poor, but now you're liars, too.

00:45:54Mr. Moore, you know as well as I do.

00:45:56You've been betrothed to Anna for years.

00:45:59Your father and I, we had an arrangement.

00:46:01That may be so, but circumstances have changed.

00:46:05Do you think my father would want me marrying someone that comes from you filthy swine?

00:46:11That's not why we're here today.

00:46:14We're here because...

00:46:15Oh, I know.

00:46:16Money.

00:46:17Isn't that right?

00:46:21Alms for the poor.

00:46:23Now away with you.

00:46:25Mr. Moore, we didn't come here today for money.

00:46:28That's enough.

00:46:30Your breath reeks.

00:46:33Beat some sense into the old caja and take him out of here.

00:46:37I'd like to see you try.

00:46:41I'd like to see you try.

00:46:46Arthur, my boy.

00:46:48They set you free.

00:46:50Rightfully so, father.

00:46:51Arthur, it's so good to see you alive and well.

00:46:55Father, mother.

00:46:59Robert's been punished for what he did to you.

00:47:01You must be the son I keep hearing so much about.

00:47:04Weren't you kidnapped to join the army?

00:47:07Run away, did you?

00:47:09And now you've come here to leech off me?

00:47:12You're John Moore.

00:47:12Now, did I hear you say you wanted to have my father beaten?

00:47:19So what if I did?

00:47:21What's a runt like you going to do about it anyway?

00:47:25Cry?

00:47:26Piss your pants?

00:47:28Say that again.

00:47:29If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister,

00:47:39then you'd be wrong.

00:47:41Let go of me, you dirty dog.

00:47:48Resulting to violence now, are we?

00:47:51Like the lowlife you are.

00:47:53Come on then, hit me, and you regret ever being born.

00:47:58You think that can stop me?

00:48:01Who do you think you are?

00:48:11Oh, it's just a peasant.

00:48:13John, my darling, I come bearing good news.

00:48:16Father says the Duke has arranged for a banquet at the manor and you're invited.

00:48:20And the Duke is going to ask the king to grant you a title.

00:48:23Finally, you can be part of upper society and we can marry.

00:48:26A title?

00:48:27Adela, tell me it's true.

00:48:29I finally have a name to match my wealth.

00:48:32No one will be able to tell us what to do.

00:48:34No one will be able to say no to us.

00:48:39Of course it's true, John, darling.

00:48:41The Duke adores my father.

00:48:42He's the Baron, after all.

00:48:44In fact, the Duke is at the manor right now.

00:48:46Don't waste your time with these peasants.

00:48:50Let's go, John.

00:48:51Lady Adela, I'm afraid we must deal with these peasants first.

00:48:54As dearly as they are, this is Arthur, Anna's brother.

00:48:58And now that I'm rich, he wants to force me to marry his sister.

00:49:02What did you say?

00:49:05Oh, I see.

00:49:06You're that boy that was kidnapped as a child.

00:49:09Well then, be gone.

00:49:12We have nothing to give a shameless beggar.

00:49:13Oh, don't touch me, you disgusting man.

00:49:18Don't you know who my father is?

00:49:20Lord Benjamin, evidently.

00:49:22Don't you know?

00:49:24Even your father watches his tongue around me.

00:49:26Ah!

00:49:27Adela.

00:49:28Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.

00:49:33Have you no manners around the rich?

00:49:35You scum.

00:49:36You better beg for forgiveness if you want to live.

00:49:39And what authority do you have over me?

00:49:41And what authority do you have over me?

00:49:44Every authority, peasant scum.

00:49:47My father is the Baron of Stamford.

00:49:50And now that you're all here, let it be known.

00:49:53I am not going to marry Anna.

00:49:56I am to be a noble, so do not let me catch sight of you all again.

00:49:59Going back on your word, John?

00:50:03That's unbecoming of your future title.

00:50:05I think John has made himself clear enough.

00:50:08Get lost, you blood-sucking leech.

00:50:10Leeching off of him?

00:50:12I would never.

00:50:14His money is as vile as his word.

00:50:18No matter.

00:50:19A man like you doesn't deserve my sister anyway.

00:50:24Men, get him.

00:50:27No!

00:50:29Men, get him.

00:50:31No!

00:50:34Arthur, we will tell Anna.

00:50:37But, please, we cannot anger Mr. Moore.

00:50:42He's going to be a noble now.

00:50:44At least your chambermaid of a mother knows how to act in front of men like me.

00:50:49Drop the matter, and I'll let you leave.

00:50:53Amen.

00:50:55We'll go.

00:50:57But best you remember,

00:50:59it is the Wellesleys who called off this engagement.

00:51:03Because you, John Moore,

00:51:05are unfit for my sister.

00:51:08John Moore,

00:51:12are unfit for my sister.

00:51:15My word.

00:51:17Unfit.

00:51:18For you.

00:51:19Let's see.

00:51:20Servant.

00:51:21Servant.

00:51:22Beggar.

00:51:23Oh, you're too funny.

00:51:25Take this as a friendly warning, John.

00:51:28Lest you regret your decision later.

00:51:30I've no mind to regret anything regarding you lot.

00:51:33Now that that's settled,

00:51:35if you ever speak to us again,

00:51:38I will have your legs cut off.

00:51:41Come now.

00:51:42We have a banquet to attend.

00:51:52Oh, that's the moors for you.

00:51:55Some coin,

00:51:55and they forget everything that we've ever done for them.

00:51:58Oh, Arthur.

00:51:59I wish we had had a better reception for you.

00:52:03Oh, Mother, don't say that, please.

00:52:05I've already arranged something for you.

00:52:07I finally found you.

00:52:08That's cause for celebration.

00:52:10You've arranged something?

00:52:11No.

00:52:12No, I...

00:52:13Please.

00:52:15I hope you haven't spent any coin on us, Arthur.

00:52:17What have you arranged?

00:52:19Just something small at the Baron's Manor.

00:52:21Don't worry, Mother.

00:52:23It's been paid for.

00:52:24At the Baron's Manor?

00:52:25Arthur!

00:52:27Haven't you heard the Duke will be there?

00:52:29We can't possibly impose.

00:52:30It's...

00:52:31Like I said, Mother,

00:52:33don't worry.

00:52:35You'll see.

00:52:36Oh, shit.

00:52:37Oh, shit.

00:52:47Lady Adela,

00:52:48this is all very splendid.

00:52:50You must introduce us to the Duke when he arrives.

00:52:54Oh, Mrs. Moore, of course.

00:52:55As the Baron of Stamford, my father is very close to the Duke.

00:53:00It's likely he was the one to recommend John in the first place.

00:53:04Of course, the Duke would love to meet you.

00:53:06I cannot believe it.

00:53:08A noble title.

00:53:09Lady Adela, you are simply full of surprises.

00:53:12You are the best match for John, no doubt about it.

00:53:17I mean to ask, Adela.

00:53:18Why would someone like the Duke come to Stamford in the first place?

00:53:22Well, Stamford is his hometown.

00:53:24The king dispatched him here to oversee the building of a new fort.

00:53:29The real reason is his parents.

00:53:31He was separated from them when he was a child.

00:53:34Even this banquet, I hear, is all for them.

00:53:37Must be good, noble people to rear such a fine man like the Duke.

00:53:42We must make a good impression.

00:53:44How did those peasants get in?

00:54:05This banquet, I've arranged it all for you.

00:54:15I'll introduce you to everyone shortly.

00:54:18Arthur, don't just.

00:54:20What do you mean for us?

00:54:22Mother, I'm serious.

00:54:25This is all for you.

00:54:27But how could you have arranged all this?

00:54:30How much money did you spend?

00:54:32Money has nothing to do with it, Father.

00:54:34I just want to see you happy.

00:54:36We are happy.

00:54:38Truly happy.

00:54:40We're finally all together again.

00:54:46John, I thought you told them to get lost.

00:54:48Why are they back?

00:54:54John, I thought you told them to get lost.

00:54:56Why are they back?

00:54:57Damn lowlifes.

00:54:59They must have tailed us in.

00:55:01I knew those ill-bred dogs would go away that easily.

00:55:05Scoundrels all.

00:55:07Mrs. Moore, rest easy.

00:55:10This banquet is held on the Duke's orders,

00:55:13and Father asked me to see that our guests enjoy themselves.

00:55:17I have every authority to throw them out.

00:55:23Come.

00:55:24Come.

00:55:27Who let you in?

00:55:38Who let you in?

00:55:40You must be lost, peasant.

00:55:42This is the Duke's banquet, not the gruel kitchen.

00:55:46I suggest you turn around immediately.

00:55:48And I suggest you shut your mouth.

00:55:50This is my manor.

00:55:52My father is hosting it under direct orders of the Duke.

00:55:56Duke, you have no place to speak here.

00:56:00And you?

00:56:02You must be the bitch that John was engaged to.

00:56:05I'll have you know, John is going to be a noble.

00:56:10You'll have no way into his home.

00:56:12Unless you'd like to be our maid once we marry.

00:56:16Lowborn as I may be, I'm still more noble than a harlot like you.

00:56:20You wench.

00:56:22I will not let you talk to Lady Adela like this.

00:56:26Apologize right now.

00:56:27I owe her nothing of the sort.

00:56:29She is the one who's courting an engaged man.

00:56:31I told your parents, and your disgusting beggar of a brother, I called off the engagement.

00:56:40You're not good enough for me.

00:56:42You're wrong.

00:56:43It's you who isn't good enough for me.

00:56:45I would never marry a man with such a fickle heart, who would abandon his fiancee just to chase after some harlot's coin.

00:56:52You dirty bitch.

00:56:57That's what you get for talking to my son like that.

00:57:03How dare you raise your hands to my daughter.

00:57:06How dare she insult my son.

00:57:09You're right, mother.

00:57:10We ought to slap some sense into them.

00:57:12Anna, look at yourself.

00:57:14You're nothing compared to Lady Adela.

00:57:17It's no wonder I chose her.

00:57:19Lady Adela is Lord Benjamin's daughter.

00:57:24What do you have that Lady Adela doesn't, besides this useless beggar of a brother?

00:57:32Do not insult my brother.

00:57:33He is more noble than any of you.

00:57:43All this dirty work must have done you in.

00:57:45A beggar like him.

00:57:49You lowly peasants.

00:57:51None of you deserve to talk to us.

00:57:53Get out or we'll throw you out with force.

00:57:58Get out or we'll throw you out with force.

00:58:01It is you who ought to be thrown out.

00:58:03Hmm, what a pretty money-sucking leech.

00:58:14I would tell her I am disgusted by the implication.

00:58:19Despite her features, a maid that cleans chamber parts all day is more fit to marry a stable boy.

00:58:26Say that again and I'll make you pay.

00:58:28Oh no.

00:58:31What are you gonna do?

00:58:33Hit me?

00:58:35Well, come on then.

00:58:36Have at it.

00:58:41Well, I do say I think this was the first time I heard someone ask for it.

00:58:46But, I think we all heard him clearly enough.

00:58:51You feel it.

00:58:52You actually asked.

00:58:53You asked for it.

00:58:55I obliged.

00:58:58Lord Benjamin.

00:59:02The Duke has arrived.

00:59:03He's here already.

00:59:05We have to go.

00:59:06You asked for it.

00:59:08I am to be a noble and you will not offend me again.

00:59:12Why should I care?

00:59:13I'm sure Lord Benjamin would understand.

00:59:15Do not speak my father's name.

00:59:18You're dead.

00:59:19My father will see to it when he arrives.

00:59:21On your knees.

00:59:22And I demand you apologize to John now.

00:59:26And your filthy parents too.

00:59:28Down!

00:59:29Who do you think you are barking orders at me?

00:59:30Don't think you're so high and mighty just because you followed us in.

00:59:34You've no right to speak to my son or Lady Adela like this.

00:59:38Don't you know how much I suffered being betrothed to your dirty whore of a sister?

00:59:43I will not let you embarrass me again.

00:59:48We've been gracious enough letting the matter go.

00:59:51Yet you shameless rats won't stop bothering us.

00:59:55Away.

00:59:55Off with you.

00:59:56Oh Mrs. Moore.

00:59:57I have a much better idea.

01:00:00Let's add a few tears to their teary reunion.

01:00:03Guards!

01:00:07Execute him.

01:00:08No!

01:00:09I want to watch as they lose their precious son.

01:00:13Again.

01:00:14Oh Lady Adela.

01:00:16I think if that's the case we ought to keep him alive.

01:00:19He's already a useless beggar.

01:00:21We ought to break his legs and keep him that way.

01:00:24Lisa.

01:00:25Lady Moore.

01:00:26Please.

01:00:27I apologize.

01:00:29I'll have Arthur repent.

01:00:30Right away.

01:00:30Yes please.

01:00:32Pardon us.

01:00:32Arthur.

01:00:33Please.

01:00:34I beg of you.

01:00:34Apologize.

01:00:36Please.

01:00:36You've enough wit to be scared.

01:00:39But it's too late.

01:00:41It's not my fault you've been grating on my nerves.

01:00:43I've nothing left for pity.

01:00:45Seems like you have quite a loud bark with no bite now.

01:00:50What did you just say to me?

01:00:53Mother.

01:00:54Father.

01:00:55I already told you.

01:00:56This banquet is for you.

01:00:58In honor of us all being together again.

01:01:00You have every right to enjoy yourself.

01:01:03And my sister was correct.

01:01:05You ought to apologize for your poor behavior.

01:01:07And I ought to have you thrown out.

01:01:09Soon.

01:01:10You'll be kneeling before us.

01:01:11Begging for the forgiveness.

01:01:12We have every right to withhold.

01:01:14A pity.

01:01:15To have a son like him.

01:01:17Imagine.

01:01:18Spending ten years to find your son.

01:01:20Just to have him turn out like this.

01:01:21The real pity is what will be happening to you soon.

01:01:25I think I'll be quite happy in the future.

01:01:28Oh, yes.

01:01:30Happy.

01:01:31Very happy, I imagine, with your legs mangled.

01:01:33Crawling on the ground.

01:01:35Oh.

01:01:36And your poor parents.

01:01:38I'm sure they'll be very joyous over such a sight.

01:01:41Seize him!

01:01:42No.

01:01:43No.

01:01:44Please, no.

01:01:44Presenting, the Honorable Lord Benjamin, Baron of Stamford.

01:01:51Oh, you're in for it now.

01:01:53Lord Benjamin is the most powerful man in Stamford.

01:01:57And he's backed by the Duke, whose authority is second only to the king.

01:02:01You poor, poor souls.

01:02:04We'll see what the Duke has to say when he hears about this.

01:02:07I reckon you'll all be beaten to death in the dungeons.

01:02:09Don't waste your breath, madam.

01:02:12A commoner like him can't even fathom the great power the Duke has.

01:02:16Of course, Lady Adela.

01:02:17It'd be an honor for him to lay eyes on the gentlemen before he crushes them like the rest they are.

01:02:24Oh, no.

01:02:25I can't wait.

01:02:27How unfortunate it had to come to this.

01:02:29Yes, how unfortunate it is for you.

01:02:33Lord Benjamin is my father.

01:02:36And once I tell him what you've done to me and my dear John, he'll have you all beheaded.

01:02:42No.

01:02:43Oh, how lucky it is to be so simple-minded.

01:02:48You, half-dead caudges.

01:02:50And you, harlots.

01:02:53Huh.

01:02:54Any last words?

01:02:56No teary goodbyes?

01:02:57Or do you wish to die with him?

01:03:01John, please.

01:03:02Arthur was just impulsive.

01:03:04Please put in a good word for him.

01:03:05Get your dirty hands off of me!

01:03:08You scoundrel!

01:03:09I'll do it again!

01:03:14You scoundrel!

01:03:16I'll do it again!

01:03:18John!

01:03:19My darling boy!

01:03:21How dare you!

01:03:22Touch my parents again and your family will pay.

01:03:25Let it be known, this night was meant to be a joyous one.

01:03:29And I did not wish to taint it with strife and bloodshed.

01:03:32I would have let you go, as awful as your behavior was to me.

01:03:35But you insulted my virtuous sister and raised your hand to my saintly mother and father!

01:03:41Your actions beg for punishment.

01:03:43And I am happy to see to you.

01:03:46Let it be known, I plan to exile the Moore family from the good town of Stamford.

01:03:51Oh, you've gone mad.

01:03:57Truly mad.

01:03:59Lady Adela, have your men restrain him for the safety of your guests.

01:04:02And have him flogged in the dungeon.

01:04:07What's this again about the dungeons?

01:04:13Lord Benjamin, you've finally come.

01:04:15My lord, we've been troubled so by these lowly peasants.

01:04:18Father, it's them.

01:04:19I say we take them to the dungeons.

01:04:26This is the Duke's banquet, Adela.

01:04:29I will not tolerate your antics.

01:04:32Pardon me, father.

01:04:33It seems I've been lax.

01:04:35For these lowly, dirty servants have snuck in.

01:04:38Lowly, dirty servants?

01:04:40Yes, father.

01:04:45The mister and missus are servants, and so is the daughter.

01:04:48And he's a beggar.

01:04:50A vile, disgusting man.

01:04:52Perhaps we could send them away with some scraps from the kitchens.

01:04:56I dare say be better than anything they've ever tasted.

01:04:59Oh, father, please allow me to see it.

01:05:01I'll have their bones broken and left out for the dogs for disturbing the Duke's banquet.

01:05:07Silence!

01:05:08But Lord Benjamin, why?

01:05:12Duke of Mercia, Arthur.

01:05:14Your Grace.

01:05:16At your service.

01:05:18Held in his grace.

01:05:20The Duke, Arthur.

01:05:29What?

01:05:32That's him?

01:05:33He's Duke Arthur?

01:05:38That's him?

01:05:39He's Duke Arthur?

01:05:42Lord Benjamin.

01:05:44I was promised a warm welcome.

01:05:46What is all of this?

01:05:48I'll see to it, Your Grace.

01:05:50My boy.

01:05:51What did the parents say?

01:05:53Is it Duke Arthur that he just called you?

01:05:55What?

01:05:56What?

01:05:57Sir.

01:05:59Madam.

01:06:00Please.

01:06:02Benjamin.

01:06:04At your service.

01:06:05I don't understand.

01:06:07Are you really?

01:06:08Yes, father.

01:06:10What?

01:06:11I'm the Duke.

01:06:13My book?

01:06:15The Duke?

01:06:15That's my son.

01:06:18That's my son.

01:06:19He's a Duke.

01:06:20What did I say?

01:06:22My brother is more noble than anyone.

01:06:26Lord Benjamin, are you certain he's the Duke?

01:06:30Father, you said the Duke was a great man.

01:06:34You must be mistaken.

01:06:37You stupid girl.

01:06:39How could I be wrong?

01:06:41And you?

01:06:42You ought to be ashamed.

01:06:44How dare you do this to his grace, Duke Arthur?

01:06:47No.

01:06:48It can't be.

01:06:50Father, tell me it's a joke.

01:06:51It simply can't be.

01:06:53Get on your knees, girl.

01:06:55And maybe he'll forgive you.

01:06:59No.

01:06:59You said that the Duke was going to give John a title.

01:07:02Why would John call off the engagement to his sister?

01:07:06Oh!

01:07:07Maybe this will get through your thick skull.

01:07:10He is the Duke.

01:07:11The one and only.

01:07:14Guards, take her away until she has learned her lesson.

01:07:21Guards, take her away until she has learned her lesson.

01:07:25No!

01:07:26Father, no!

01:07:27It can't be.

01:07:27It can't be the Duke.

01:07:29He's able to get me!

01:07:33Your Grace, I must apologize.

01:07:36That's enough.

01:07:37Your family has played your hand for it.

01:07:40Duke Arthur, sir.

01:07:42Why, certainly.

01:07:43My son is still engaged to the Wellesley's daughter.

01:07:46Our connection is nothing to scoff at.

01:07:49Mother, my brother-in-law, a Duke, will be even richer.

01:07:53My brother-in-law, a Duke, will be even richer.

01:08:00Will be set for life.

01:08:02Oh, married to the sister of the Duke.

01:08:04Oh, goodness.

01:08:05That must be why you want to give me a noble title, so I can marry Anna.

01:08:10Anna, can you believe it?

01:08:13Your brother, a Duke.

01:08:15What does that have to do with you?

01:08:16It has everything to do with me, darling.

01:08:19You're my fiancé, remember?

01:08:21Don't forget about me just because your brother's a Duke now.

01:08:24You are truly shameless, John.

01:08:27Don't be like that, my dear, darling fiancé.

01:08:29Fiancé, have you forgotten what you just called me?

01:08:33A dirty whore?

01:08:35Only fit to wet his table boy.

01:08:37Isn't that right?

01:08:38Oh, Anna, forgive him, would you?

01:08:41A pettiness that doesn't suit a pretty face like yours.

01:08:45Women like us, we ought to understand our husband's temperaments.

01:08:50My sister, petty, has rich coming from you.

01:08:54Oh, Duke Arthur, my brother.

01:08:57I must apologize for what I said.

01:09:00I'll apologize to Anna.

01:09:01There is no need.

01:09:03I have no wish to hear anything further from you.

01:09:06The woman has spoken, John.

01:09:07It seems my sister disdains your vile habits.

01:09:11Anna, this is all my fault.

01:09:14We grew up together, didn't we?

01:09:16I loved you.

01:09:17I did.

01:09:19This has all been a big misunderstanding, of course.

01:09:21I'm sure you can forgive me.

01:09:23Please, give me another chance.

01:09:26Yes, dear, just a misunderstanding.

01:09:29Let's put it all behind us now, shall we?

01:09:33Yeah.

01:09:35Forgive you!

01:09:36I don't think I will.

01:09:38It would be a sin to forget what you've done to my mother and father.

01:09:41My brother's title has nothing to do with you.

01:09:44I wish for you to be gone and never come back.

01:09:47Anna, forgive me.

01:09:54You're better than this.

01:09:57Please, forgive me.

01:09:59You're better than this.

01:10:03Leave my sister alone, scum.

01:10:05Your apology means nothing.

01:10:07Please, your grace, Duke Arthur.

01:10:10Mother, it's all my fault.

01:10:11I've wronged you.

01:10:12I admit it.

01:10:13I beg your pardon.

01:10:15Mr. Wesley.

01:10:17Madam.

01:10:19Please ask Arthur to show us mercy.

01:10:21I was betrothed to Anna.

01:10:23Anna, I've shown her much kindness.

01:10:26Mother, please ask him to forgive me.

01:10:29I cannot live without Anna.

01:10:32Jane, please.

01:10:34I even got you the job at the Baron's Manor.

01:10:36Are you going to be so cruel as to forget everything I've done for you, that John's done for you?

01:10:42A bit of compassion for an old friend?

01:10:45Yes, Mr. Wesley, please.

01:10:48I'll do anything for her.

01:10:49I'll give her whatever she wants.

01:10:51If you just please forgive my one transgression.

01:10:56How dare you ask for compassion?

01:11:02How dare you ask for compassion?

01:11:05Have you shown any compassion to my father?

01:11:07To my mother?

01:11:08Those ten long years I was gone.

01:11:11Did you help them at all?

01:11:12Did you give them any aid?

01:11:14Did you speak of them as an old friend?

01:11:16As if they have ever forsaken you.

01:11:19But you.

01:11:20Had I not been announced as the Duke, you would have kicked them to the ground and spit on their bodies.

01:11:26You called off my sister's engagement for the first noble lady you saw.

01:11:30You do not deserve my mercy.

01:11:32Duke.

01:11:33Arthur.

01:11:34I...

01:11:35Silence!

01:11:36I've seen you at your worst.

01:11:38I've seen how you treated me.

01:11:39My father.

01:11:41My mother.

01:11:42Anna.

01:11:42You are a shameless, filthy villain.

01:11:47Be gone.

01:11:49Lord Benjamin.

01:11:51Yes, sir.

01:11:52Have the Moors removed from the manor.

01:11:58Lord Benjamin.

01:11:59Yes, sir.

01:12:00Have the Moors removed from the manor.

01:12:02And forbid anyone from doing business with them in the town of Stanford.

01:12:07Yes, sir.

01:12:13Much better.

01:12:15Father.

01:12:16Mother.

01:12:18Anna.

01:12:19Let us enjoy this banquet in peace.

01:12:23Arthur.

01:12:25This banquet is lovely.

01:12:29But nothing is better than us being reunited as a family.

01:12:34And together we'll be forever.

01:12:37Mother.

01:12:39No.

01:12:42Mother.

01:12:51What?

01:13:01No.

01:13:02I got it.

01:13:03I got it.

01:13:05Nun.
