00:00:00He is taken by the Baron to the war.

00:00:02We must find him.

00:00:04Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.

00:00:07I've returned to find my family.

00:00:09The Duke is coming.

00:00:10This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.

00:00:14Your son is not coming back.

00:00:17No!

00:00:18Because he's dead.

00:00:20It's your own fault you lost your son.

00:00:23I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.

00:00:25He didn't recognize the necklace.

00:00:27Your land has been sealed.

00:00:29No, this is our family home!

00:00:31Sign it, now!

00:00:32No.

00:00:33Stop it!

00:00:37Your son was taken, you say?

00:00:38Could this be me?

00:00:40My memories are faint, cladded by the injury I sustained during the war.

00:00:43Say goodbye to your son.

00:00:45That woman...

00:00:46Possibly the Duke is my Arthur.

00:00:49The Duke of Mercia

00:00:55Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Mercia is at war.

00:00:59Every man must stand and fight.

00:01:02No!

00:01:03No!

00:01:04No!

00:01:05No!

00:01:06No!

00:01:07Please!

00:01:08Please!

00:01:09I don't want to go to war!

00:01:10Spare me!

00:01:11I'm scared, Arthur.

00:01:12Will they take you and Papa away too?

00:01:17No.

00:01:18They won't.

00:01:19Okay?

00:01:20I got something for both of you.

00:01:22I had these blessed by the church today.

00:01:25This one is for you, Arthur.

00:01:26And this one, Anna, is for you.

00:01:27May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:01:44Thank you, Mom.

00:01:46I love you.

00:01:47Mama?

00:01:48Yes?

00:01:49My belly hurts.

00:01:50I think I need to go potty.

00:01:51I see.

00:01:52Yes.

00:01:53Wait!

00:01:54Mama.

00:01:55It's Papa's birthday today.

00:01:56I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef.

00:02:09Just a little bit.

00:02:16I'm sorry, sweetie.

00:02:17We can't afford beef.

00:02:19Maybe we could have chicken.

00:02:22Your favorite chicken pie.

00:02:24Huzzah!

00:02:25Thank you, Mom.

00:02:26I love you.

00:02:27I love you.

00:02:29Bye!

00:02:34Bye!

00:02:46Every man must stand and fight.

00:02:55Take him.

00:02:56Stop!

00:02:57No!

00:02:58I'm only 13!

00:02:59Let me go!

00:03:00Mama!

00:03:06Arthur.

00:03:09Arthur should be here by now.

00:03:11Where is he?

00:03:14Arthur!

00:03:46What? Have you seen my son? Have you seen Arthur?

00:03:51The baron's men took him.

00:03:53What?

00:03:53They're marching him to the border. They're sending him to war.

00:03:56No. No. No.

00:03:59No.

00:04:10Jane! You're hurt!

00:04:13Girl. Girl. They took him.

00:04:17We have to get him.

00:04:18He's only 13. He wants to arrive on the battlefield.

00:04:22Let's go.

00:04:24No? Have you seen a boy? Have you seen Arthur? He's our son.

00:04:27Right here with soldiers.

00:04:30Hey, are you soldiers with the baron? Have you seen a boy?

00:04:33A strong lad. Brown hair. About this tall.

00:04:36The boy we took from the market, is it?

00:04:38Yes.

00:04:39Yes. Yes, that's him. Where is he?

00:04:41Your boy is either dead or going to be soon.

00:04:44He can't be. You're lying.

00:04:46Away with you, woman.

00:04:47Give me back my son.

00:04:48The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old. Arthur's 13.

00:04:54Please!

00:04:54If you didn't want him gone, you should have kept him at home. You have no one to blame but yourself.

00:05:05It's all my fault. I killed him. I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself.

00:05:10It's...

00:05:11Shut up, wench! Or I'll make you join him real soon!

00:05:14Comet, now! Foolish as they are! We can't just kill as we wish!

00:05:22Comet boy from filth like you! He was doomed from the moment he met us!

00:05:26He's right. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let him alone.

00:05:37You mustn't do this to yourself. We will bring our boy home.

00:05:42Arthur. Arthur. Where are you?

00:05:47Arthur. Arthur. Arthur. Arthur. Arthur.

00:06:17I have a feeling I know why you're here.

00:06:26Your Majesty. Nothing escapes you.

00:06:29Nothing does escape me.

00:06:30Which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford.

00:06:34You'll oversee the building of a new fort to strengthen our borders.

00:06:39The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.

00:06:43But Your Majesty, my duty as a Duke is to protect...

00:06:45Go, go.

00:06:46Go, my boy.

00:06:51You've fought enough battles for me and did a great service to the kingdom of Mercia.

00:06:58This is why I gave you the title of Duke.

00:07:03Go back to Stamford.

00:07:05Find your family.

00:07:07They will be so proud to see the man you've become.

00:07:11And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?

00:07:15I won't let you down, sir.

00:07:25I miss you.

00:07:26Robert, my sweet nephew, here.

00:07:31All my wages.

00:07:33I'm depending on you.

00:07:37You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin, I beg of you.

00:07:42You work for the Baron of Stamford.

00:07:43You work for the Baron of Stamford.

00:07:44Aunt Jane.

00:07:45My connections are expensive.

00:07:47I'll look into it, but not today.

00:07:50The Duke is coming to Stamford.

00:07:52Everything has to be perfect.

00:07:54The Duke is coming.

00:07:55Robert, maybe you can ask the Duke to help me find my son.

00:08:00I've heard that the Duke is a great knight in battle, so perhaps you could ask him to

00:08:04see if he recognizes this boy with this necklace.

00:08:07Maybe he knows my Arthur.

00:08:09Have you lost your wits?

00:08:11Ask the Duke for help.

00:08:13Who do you think you are?

00:08:15Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the Duke for such trifles.

00:08:20Robert, please, just have him take a look.

00:08:34It's your own fault you lost your son.

00:08:36Don't blame other people for your own negligence.

00:08:39It is my fault.

00:08:40I should have never let him out of my sight.

00:08:42I regret it every single day.

00:08:44But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages, you would help me find my son.

00:08:50I told you not today.

00:08:53The Duke could be here any second.

00:08:56Get lost before he sees your ugly face.

00:09:03The Duke is here.

00:09:04Go.

00:09:05Get.

00:09:14That's the Duke.

00:09:15That's the Duke.

00:09:17He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.

00:09:21The king treats him like a suck.

00:09:23Yes, sir.

00:09:53Presenting as Grace, the Duke of Mercia.

00:10:09Welcome, Your Grace.

00:10:11Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.

00:10:14We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?

00:10:17Your Grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.

00:10:20I beg for your forgiveness.

00:10:23It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.

00:10:26You are too kind, Your Grace.

00:10:28I've returned to find my family.

00:10:30Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.

00:10:33I shall have them brought here at once.

00:10:35My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.

00:10:40But my mother swore a pendant like this.

00:10:47May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:10:53Could this be me?

00:11:04Find who this belongs to.

00:11:05I will see to this personally.

00:11:07Mom, where are you?

00:11:13The Duke of Mercia has come to the Baron's Manor.

00:11:19The king must hold him in high regard.

00:11:22And they say he's looking for his family.

00:11:24Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?

00:11:28Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family, then there's a chance.

00:11:34And possibly the Duke is my author.

00:11:40Don't be stupid.

00:11:42This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.

00:11:46How could a man like that be your son?

00:11:49Your son probably died on the battlefield.

00:11:53Stop being delusional.

00:11:54No, no, I must see the Duke.

00:12:00Have you lost your mind?

00:12:16I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.

00:12:22Did someone call my name just now?

00:12:35Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.

00:12:38No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.

00:12:44What were you thinking?

00:12:47Your actions will bring my family down with you.

00:12:51Robert just became butler.

00:12:53I won't have you ruining things for him.

00:12:56I swear that was my son.

00:12:58That was Arthur.

00:12:59You have truly gone mad.

00:13:02That was the Duke.

00:13:03The second most important man in the entire kingdom.

00:13:07How could a man of such standing be your son?

00:13:12He looked just like him.

00:13:14I swear that...

00:13:16Do you mean to get us all hung?

00:13:21Calling the Duke your son?

00:13:23What an insult to that fine gentleman.

00:13:26Please, just let me speak to him.

00:13:29Let me show him this.

00:13:31Robert!

00:13:45Robert!

00:13:46Don't!

00:13:47Not while the Duke is here.

00:13:49Robert!

00:13:51What are you doing to my mother?

00:13:53Anna!

00:13:56Give me that back I needed to find Arthur.

00:13:58Worthless piece of junk.

00:14:00Robert, we're family.

00:14:02We're supposed to help each other.

00:14:05What you've done.

00:14:06Family?

00:14:07It's bad enough that we share the same blood.

00:14:11My son has risen up through the ranks.

00:14:14While yours only grows poorer and poorer.

00:14:18It's pathetic, really.

00:14:20I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.

00:14:25And you...

00:14:26You never even planned to find Arthur.

00:14:31You never even thought to look for him.

00:14:33You liar!

00:14:35You cheat!

00:14:36Give me back my coin!

00:14:38Don't touch me with your filthy hands!

00:14:41And this?

00:14:43Say goodbye to your son.

00:14:44No!

00:14:57Mother!

00:14:58Mother, no!

00:15:02Mother!

00:15:03Mother!

00:15:04Come, mother.

00:15:04Let's go.

00:15:07Oh, Anna.

00:15:08What have I done?

00:15:09We'll never be able to find Arthur.

00:15:11Are not with this?

00:15:12It's all right, Mother. Have you forgotten? I carry one, too.

00:15:19Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur, I'll see what I can do.

00:15:34Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?

00:15:42Your Grace, my lord.

00:16:03Forgive me, Your Grace!

00:16:07Useless girl!

00:16:09Your Grace, are you all right?

00:16:12I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.

00:16:14No need to punish her for a simple mistake.

00:16:17Your kindness humbles us all.

00:16:20Well, don't just sit there.

00:16:23Feet yourself up!

00:16:27Why does she seem so familiar?

00:16:30Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.

00:16:33How could Robert do this to you?

00:16:38He beat you.

00:16:42You're his aunt for crying out loud.

00:16:45Oh, Carl.

00:16:47You know your family has always been cruel to us.

00:16:50It's only gonna get worse now that Robert is butler to the baron.

00:16:55To the burial?

00:16:57Mother?

00:16:58Father?

00:17:01This place is so familiar to me.

00:17:04And it's strategic.

00:17:07I'll build the new fort here.

00:17:09See to it that all the families along this road are asked to leave.

00:17:12And compensate them well.

00:17:13I will start the process right away.

00:17:22Mother!

00:17:24What did the Duke say?

00:17:26Did he...

00:17:30Mother, what?

00:17:32I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.

00:17:35No.

00:17:37He does, he does resemble him, yes, but he didn't recognize the necklace.

00:17:41No.

00:17:45I'm so sorry.

00:17:47I thought I was him.

00:17:49I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.

00:17:52I know at least you'll sleep easier knowing this is by your side.

00:18:02Oh.

00:18:03Your Grace, I dare say you look as handsome as ever.

00:18:11These clothes are much more comfortable.

00:18:19Leave me.

00:18:20I wish to explore the city by myself.

00:18:22See if anything can jog my memory.

00:18:24Yes, Your Grace.

00:18:25Oh, it must be Anna. She must have forgot something.

00:18:36Anna?

00:18:39What are you all doing here? Especially after what you did to my wife?

00:18:40Long time no see, brother. Still living in this hovel, huh?

00:18:54Would you like some bread? We were just about to sit down for lunch, so I can offer you a fresh loaf.

00:19:00You call this food? The Baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.

00:19:11But fortune favors the undeserving.

00:19:15Now you'll be able to buy some real food.

00:19:19What do you mean, Laura?

00:19:21Tell them, Robert.

00:19:26Ah!

00:19:30It really is a shack.

00:19:33But luckily it'll be gone soon.

00:19:35Your land has been seized.

00:19:37This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.

00:19:40No.

00:19:41To bolster our defenses.

00:19:43The order came directly from the Duke himself.

00:19:46No.

00:19:47But you will be well compensated for the trouble.

00:19:50What?

00:19:52Just sign here and you'll receive 20 gold pieces.

00:19:56As your brother, I should be entitled to half.

00:19:59But as you have no son, and I have a son, I ought to take two thirds.

00:20:04What?

00:20:05No, this is our family home!

00:20:07No!

00:20:09If Arthur returns, how will he find his way home?

00:20:12She's right. We won't give up our land. Not for 20 gold coins, not for nothing!

00:20:15Then you are dafter than I thought!

00:20:17Let me remind you, your son is not coming back because he's dead.

00:20:24No!

00:20:25No, no, no!

00:20:26You hold your tongue, Arthur will return.

00:20:28And when we remain here, until he does, we won't give up hope. Not for any penny coin!

00:20:32You don't get a say! The order comes from above!

00:20:36Enough of this insolence! Leave my house at once! Leave my house!

00:20:39Carl!

00:20:43Carl!

00:20:45Carl, you're right!

00:20:46We are family!

00:20:49We are supposed to support each other, and if you can't do that, then leave!

00:20:53Then you've chosen death! So be it!

00:20:59This place really does feel so familiar.

00:21:02What?

00:21:06What are you do-

00:21:13I'll tell you this one last time!

00:21:15Sign a damn contract, or I'll beat you to death!

00:21:18You are his brother, how can you do this to him?

00:21:21No man as useless as him deserves to be my brother!

00:21:28Sign it, now!

00:21:30No!

00:21:31No!

00:21:32No!

00:21:33Ah!

00:21:34Ah!

00:21:35Ah!

00:21:36Ah!

00:21:37Ah!

00:21:38Ah!

00:21:39Ah!

00:21:43Stop it!

00:21:56Stop it!

00:21:57That's an order!

00:21:58Ah!

00:21:59Ah!

00:22:00What's a peasant like you doing here?

00:22:02Cross me, and I'll beat you up too!

00:22:04You know who my son works for?

00:22:06The Baron!

00:22:07We're here to seize this land off his orders!

00:22:09So you better stay out of our affairs!

00:22:11So you're the Baron's henchmen!

00:22:12I told them to see that every family is compensated fairly!

00:22:17And this is how you choose to do it?

00:22:19Good folks!

00:22:20You have my word!

00:22:21I will make this matter right!

00:22:22Lord Benjamin requests your land to build a new fort!

00:22:23But we will provide whatever is necessary for you!

00:22:25Do you know the Baron?

00:22:26Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?

00:22:27All we ask is that we remain here!

00:22:28We cannot leave our home, please!

00:22:29Rest assured!

00:22:30You will be well compensated if you choose to depart!

00:22:32No!

00:22:33We don't want coin!

00:22:34This is my son's home!

00:22:35If it's torn down, he will never find his way home!

00:22:38Your son was taken, you say?

00:22:39Yes!

00:22:40He was only 13 years old!

00:22:41Taken far too young!

00:22:42Conscripted by the Baron's soldiers!

00:22:43If we leave, he'll never find his way home!

00:22:44If we leave, he'll never find his way home!

00:22:45Please!

00:22:46Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?

00:22:47Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?

00:22:48All we ask is that we remain here!

00:22:49We cannot leave our home, please!

00:22:50Rest assured!

00:22:51You will be well compensated if you choose to depart!

00:22:52No!

00:22:53We don't want coin!

00:22:54This is my son's home!

00:22:55If it's torn down, he will never find his way home!

00:22:57Your son was taken, you say?

00:22:58Yes!

00:22:59He was only 13 years old!

00:23:01Taken far too young!

00:23:03Conscripted by the Baron's soldiers!

00:23:06If we leave, he'll never find his way back!

00:23:09Please!

00:23:11Please!

00:23:12I beg of you!

00:23:16Is this pinned?

00:23:17Yes!

00:23:18It was a token!

00:23:19A promise that my children and I would always be a family together!

00:23:27This one is for you, Arthur!

00:23:34What?

00:23:36Oh!

00:23:37Oh!

00:23:38Oh!

00:23:39Oh!

00:23:40Oh!

00:23:41Oh!

00:23:42Oh!

00:23:43Oh!

00:23:44Oh!

00:23:45Oh!

00:23:46Mother!

00:23:47Arthur!

00:23:48Oh!

00:23:49Oh!

00:23:50Oh!

00:23:51Is it you?

00:23:52It's me, Mom!

00:23:53Oh!

00:23:54Oh!

00:23:55I've come home!

00:23:56My boy!

00:23:57Ten long years!

00:23:58We searched for you!

00:24:00And finally, you've come back to us!

00:24:04I'm sorry!

00:24:05I've been a bad son!

00:24:07But I promise, I will give you the life you deserve from here on out!

00:24:12Please, forgive me!

00:24:13Forgive me!

00:24:22Can we stop with the theatrics?

00:24:24Ten years have passed and cousin Arthur returns as a peasant!

00:24:28I'd cry too if this were my son!

00:24:31Laura and George, do you see?

00:24:32Arthur has come home!

00:24:34What's there to cheer for?

00:24:35A beggar for a son?

00:24:37Or a thief, more likely!

00:24:39Look at him!

00:24:40Wandering around, starving and desperate!

00:24:44I don't care what you say!

00:24:46But my son has come home!

00:24:48And he is everything to me!

00:24:50Let's go inside and I will make your favorite roast!

00:24:53And, George and Laura, I would prefer if you left!

00:24:57We'd like to celebrate alone as a family!

00:25:00We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool!

00:25:07No, Robert, surely you understand!

00:25:09You're family!

00:25:10We'd like to celebrate!

00:25:11This low life doesn't deserve anything!

00:25:17I'm done arguing with you with this pigsty!

00:25:20Don't you point your finger at me!

00:25:22I could do much worse!

00:25:24Or, do you want me to get my fiancé so you can beg for her forgiveness instead?

00:25:28Remember, I'm engaged to the prestigious Lady Edith!

00:25:33If she finds out about this, you'll all get a good beating!

00:25:37Go away!

00:25:41This is a joyous day, and I do not wish to spend it squabbling with you, Ilk!

00:25:52Kneel before us, apologize, and be gone!

00:25:56You son of a whore!

00:26:01I'm the Baron's butler!

00:26:03The highest on his staff!

00:26:05You think I'd kneel to a common maid?

00:26:09You better show your respect!

00:26:11Now will you go?

00:26:12You scum!

00:26:13I'll have you know just how much I am worth!

00:26:14Inform Lady Edith!

00:26:15Ask her to come, won't you?

00:26:16Yes, Mr. Wellesley.

00:26:17Well, well, well.

00:26:18You fools have chosen not to take the gold.

00:26:19But it was the Baron's orders!

00:26:20Your hovel must come down!

00:26:21Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?

00:26:22That's Baron Stamford to you?

00:26:23On the contrary.

00:26:24I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.

00:26:28Are you mad?

00:26:29Who do you think you are?

00:26:31The duke?

00:26:32Pulling rank like you're anything special!

00:26:34I dare say I'm special enough that even Lord Benjamin would kneel before me.

00:26:37Ah, well, well.

00:26:38I am.

00:26:39But I'm sure I've already been on the way.

00:26:41Well, then.

00:26:42It was a god, well, I'm sorry.

00:26:43You fools have chosen not to take the gold.

00:26:45But it was the Baron's orders!

00:26:47Your hovel must come down!

00:26:49Lord Benjamin's orders, wasn't it?

00:26:51That's Baron Stamford to you?

00:26:53On the contrary.

00:26:55I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.

00:26:57would kneel before me.

00:26:59What's that I hear about the Baron?

00:27:05Lord Benjamin, sir.

00:27:06The Duke has dismissed his guards and gone on a stroll.

00:27:09Where to?

00:27:10Around where the families are being asked to relocate, sir.

00:27:13What?

00:27:14Well, I hope he doesn't run into the Wellesleys.

00:27:16Guards, come with me.

00:27:20What's that I hear about the Baron?

00:27:27Did I just hear someone disrespecting my cousin,

00:27:32the Baron of Stamford?

00:27:34I tried to pay these lowlifes with gold,

00:27:37but they refused to leave their pigsty,

00:27:40and their son even hit me.

00:27:46You scumbag.

00:27:47How dare you lay your dirty hands on my fiance?

00:27:50Do you know who I am?

00:27:52Why would I care who you are?

00:27:54He hit my parents, so I hit him back.

00:27:57Sounds fair to me.

00:27:58You are in the town of Stamford,

00:28:00my cousin's jurisdiction,

00:28:02and Robert is his head butler.

00:28:05You'll pay for what you've done.

00:28:07Bring him to the dungeons.

00:28:09No.

00:28:10I'll teach him a lesson.

00:28:11No, no, no, no, please don't.

00:28:12Please don't.

00:28:13No, please don't.

00:28:15Lord Benjamin's cousin.

00:28:17Is this how he taught you to behave?

00:28:19Oh.

00:28:21I didn't expect a lowly peasant like you

00:28:22to know who my cousin is.

00:28:24Don't tell me he's spoken to you before.

00:28:26Of course.

00:28:28In fact, why don't you ask him who I am?

00:28:30That's enough.

00:28:32Guards, seize him!

00:28:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:28:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

00:28:38Please don't.

00:28:39Let go of me.

00:28:40This is your last chance.

00:28:42Seize me, and you'll have to face

00:28:44the consequences of your crime.

00:28:46As if I'd fear anything from a runt like you,

00:28:48I could kill you right now if I wanted to.

00:28:51Kill me?

00:28:52No.

00:28:53Is that right?

00:28:53No.

00:28:54Fine, I'll go with you.

00:28:56But don't say I didn't warn you.

00:28:57Watch your tongue, but don't worry.

00:29:00Soon, you'll be too busy screaming in my dungeon

00:29:03to talk back.

00:29:05Please, please don't hurt him, no, Arthur.

00:29:07Father, mother, don't worry.

00:29:10I'll be back very soon.

00:29:11You think you're coming back?

00:29:13Take him away.

00:29:14Oh, don't, Arthur.

00:29:17Take your hands out, my son!

00:29:19Well, well, I didn't expect that runt to hit me.

00:29:22Just wait.

00:29:23The two of you will join him soon.

00:29:25Let's go, Father.

00:29:27Serves you right, brother.

00:29:39What happened here?

00:29:41Lord Benjamin, it was all your butler's doing,

00:29:45and your cousin, Lady Edith.

00:29:47They even took my son to the dungeon.

00:29:49Your, your son?

00:29:52Tall and with dark hair?

00:30:00We need to go.

00:30:01Now!

00:30:04God, Carl, what are we going to do?

00:30:05Because Arthur's gone.

00:30:07Anne, Anne is engaged to John Moore.

00:30:10The Moores can help.

00:30:11They're engaged, yes, but that was years ago.

00:30:13John Moore's a rich man now.

00:30:14He's really-

00:30:15We have to try, Carl, please.

00:30:18You're right.

00:30:19You're right, we have to try.

00:30:20We have to find our son.

00:30:26What happened to that fire?

00:30:27That rage?

00:30:29Scared of the consequences now, runt?

00:30:31Consequences?

00:30:33For giving you what you deserve.

00:30:34Watch your mouth.

00:30:43Your family is done for, and you're still talking back.

00:30:47No, my lady.

00:30:49It's your family that's done for.

00:30:52I've made up my mind.

00:30:53I will not spare you.

00:30:54Me, needing sparing from you.

00:30:59You've gone mad.

00:31:05It seems like you've gotten it in your head

00:31:07that you could do something to us.

00:31:09Let me remind you of your place.

00:31:13You insolent brat!

00:31:26What are you doing?

00:31:28Reminding you of your place.

00:31:34Stop it or I'll have you killed!

00:31:36You have me killed.

00:31:38You've got the wrong man.

00:31:43Oh!

00:31:52Consider it your warning cousin.

00:31:56The gall of you threatening me

00:31:59and then calling yourself my cousin!

00:32:01I won't let you off easy!

00:32:03Oh!

00:32:04You want another go?

00:32:05Still trying to act tough!

00:32:07It seems like we'll need to teach you a lesson.

00:32:10Guards!

00:32:11Flog him!

00:32:13Hold it!

00:32:17You're not flogging anyone.

00:32:23Hold it!

00:32:31Oh, cousin, you don't understand.

00:32:33This lowly scum had disregarded your orders and impeded the Duke's relocation efforts,

00:32:38and he even tried to punch me.

00:32:40Cousin Benjamin, you must see to it that he is punished.

00:32:43Stop oinking once the Baron showed up, hmm?

00:32:47Your side of the Wellesley family is going to be dinner.

00:32:50Sir, this lowly villain is unfortunately my cousin.

00:32:55Just like his parents, they've no regard for your authority.

00:32:58That's right, Benjamin.

00:33:00What happened again?

00:33:01We had gone to the less fortunate Wellesley's to evict them, but he tried to stop us,

00:33:06so Edith had him brought here to teach him a lesson,

00:33:09but it looks like he hasn't learned anything.

00:33:12Oh, sir, you don't know the half of it.

00:33:14He hit us and ordered us to kneel to him.

00:33:18He even said that you were lowlier than he.

00:33:21You must punish him accordingly.

00:33:23As I was saying, the consequences of your actions.

00:33:28Oh!

00:33:30You fool.

00:33:31There will be consequences, all right.

00:33:33For you!

00:33:34What for, sir?

00:33:37Have I done something wrong, sir?

00:33:39I don't...

00:33:40Cousin, you misunderstand.

00:33:44There is no misunderstanding.

00:33:47Have you lost your mind?

00:33:48Do you know who this man is?

00:33:54Do you know who this man is?

00:33:56He's nothing but a beggar, the son of peasants.

00:34:02Get out of my sight, you pathetic woman.

00:34:08Duke of Mercia, your grace.

00:34:12Pardon my tardiness.

00:34:13Duke, what do you mean, Duke?

00:34:19Sir, you must be mistaken.

00:34:22Rightly so.

00:34:22He's a peasant, a beggar.

00:34:25How can he be the Duke?

00:34:29Don't question me.

00:34:31No.

00:34:32No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:34:33This is possible.

00:34:35How can you say you're the Duke?

00:34:38Shut it, Wellesley.

00:34:40You have no right to speak.

00:34:42That lowlife's the Duke?

00:34:44Carl's son is the Duke?

00:34:46Oh no, no.

00:34:48George, what have we done?

00:34:57Lord Vengeance,

00:34:59it seems that you've neglected your duties as Baron.

00:35:03Your people have shown me nothing but disdain.

00:35:07They take from the poor,

00:35:08torture your innocent,

00:35:10pillage and kill.

00:35:11Have you no order in Stanford?

00:35:14I'll have them punished for their wrongdoings.

00:35:17Their wrongdoings?

00:35:18I imagine then,

00:35:20it was you who have allowed them to do this.

00:35:23And it is you who must be punished.

00:35:26Mercy, your grace.

00:35:28I'll have them flogged,

00:35:30exiled,

00:35:31punished to the extent of the law.

00:35:33Please, your grace,

00:35:34spare us.

00:35:35Cousin.

00:35:40It's my fault.

00:35:41See, your grace,

00:35:42I've been a fool.

00:35:45Punish me,

00:35:46flog me,

00:35:47as you will.

00:35:47But,

00:35:48let me live.

00:35:50We are from the same family,

00:35:52Duke Arthur.

00:35:53I don't want to die.

00:35:56Young Arthur,

00:35:57my son had just become a butler.

00:35:59He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.

00:36:03Please,

00:36:04we adore him so.

00:36:05You mustn't kill him,

00:36:07or exile him.

00:36:09Please,

00:36:10I beg you,

00:36:11as your uncle,

00:36:12as your father's own brother.

00:36:15Oh,

00:36:15you're too cruel,

00:36:17Arthur.

00:36:18How can you do this to another,

00:36:20Wellesley?

00:36:24Cruelty?

00:36:25Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?

00:36:28Threatening to leave them homeless,

00:36:30and laughing in their face when they begged you?

00:36:33Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?

00:36:35Your own brother,

00:36:37and cousin Robert.

00:36:40What happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?

00:36:44Did you pity your poor cousin then?

00:36:46I've seen you for what you are.

00:36:49Shameless,

00:36:50and wretched scum.

00:36:52You are unfit to live.

00:36:56Have them dealt with,

00:36:58and think about what you've done.

00:36:59You're meant to be noble,

00:37:01not only in your actions,

00:37:02but in your name.

00:37:04See that your people behave,

00:37:06or I'll have your title removed.

00:37:08I will see to them personally.

00:37:11Oh,

00:37:12please.

00:37:12Oh, sir.

00:37:13Please.

00:37:15Robert deceived me.

00:37:16It's all his fault.

00:37:18Please,

00:37:18Duke Arthur.

00:37:19Spare me.

00:37:21I'll do anything for you.

00:37:23Egypt.

00:37:24What are you doing?

00:37:27You villain.

00:37:28If it weren't for you,

00:37:29I never would have gotten involved with this mess.

00:37:32I'm calling out her engagement.

00:37:34From this moment onward,

00:37:35I'll have nothing to do with you.

00:37:37I beg of you,

00:37:38oh,

00:37:38great and honorable Duke.

00:37:39Forgive me.

00:37:41Don't you want to see what I have to offer?

00:37:46Save it,

00:37:46sloth.

00:37:47Lord Benjamin,

00:37:48make sure these vermin

00:37:50never cross my path again.

00:37:54They make me sick.

00:37:55guards.

00:38:00Lock them up.

00:38:02Cousin,

00:38:02please.

00:38:03Won't you speak to him?

00:38:05Just let me go.

00:38:06I won't ever do it again.

00:38:09No.

00:38:10No.

00:38:11Cousin.

00:38:13Please.

00:38:14Please.

00:38:14No.

00:38:21In good news,

00:38:22Benjamin,

00:38:22I found my parents.

00:38:24That is wonderful,

00:38:26Your Grace.

00:38:27What a blessed day it is.

00:38:29I wish to host a banquet tonight,

00:38:31introduce my parents to

00:38:32upper society.

00:38:35Life has been cruel to them,

00:38:36and I wish for them to live happily.

00:38:40Oh,

00:38:40and my sister too,

00:38:42Anna.

00:38:42I want to do something special

00:38:43for her as well.

00:38:45Did you just say Anna?

00:38:47And to the maid,

00:38:48Anna.

00:38:49Right.

00:38:50Anna.

00:38:50She works here,

00:38:51doesn't she?

00:38:53Seems that I have someone

00:38:55the Duke might want.

00:38:59Mr. Wellesley,

00:39:00Lord Benjamin says Anna

00:39:02is to attend to the Duke

00:39:03personally

00:39:04for the next few days.

00:39:10Did you just say Anna?

00:39:12And to the maid,

00:39:13Anna.

00:39:14Right.

00:39:15Anna.

00:39:15She works here,

00:39:16doesn't she?

00:39:17Bring me to her.

00:39:18No,

00:39:19Your Grace.

00:39:20What?

00:39:21I thought

00:39:21that you fancied her,

00:39:24so I...

00:39:24What have you done?

00:39:26Bring me to her right now.

00:39:27You have fine features

00:39:40for a scullery maid.

00:39:43I can see why he likes you.

00:39:46Mr. Crowley,

00:39:47did you need something?

00:39:49Yes,

00:39:50pet.

00:39:51You have been chosen.

00:39:52Take off your clothes.

00:39:59What are you going to do to me?

00:40:01Oh, don't worry.

00:40:01I have no interest in you.

00:40:04I wouldn't dare.

00:40:08Put this on.

00:40:15Perfect.

00:40:15I can see why he chose you in particular.

00:40:20Mr. Crowley,

00:40:21what's all this about?

00:40:22The Baron has ordered you

00:40:24to meet another client.

00:40:26A big man.

00:40:27You are to be his mistress,

00:40:29to satisfy his physical needs,

00:40:32of course.

00:40:33An honor for a common whore like you.

00:40:36No,

00:40:36I refuse.

00:40:38You don't have a choice.

00:40:39Barron's orders.

00:40:45Do you even know

00:40:46who you are serving?

00:40:47It is the Duke.

00:40:49The one you poured tea on.

00:40:51What?

00:40:51The Duke?

00:40:52Aw,

00:40:53dumb already,

00:40:53are you?

00:40:54Still think you can say no,

00:40:56whore?

00:40:56Please,

00:40:57I don't want to.

00:41:03It's a good opportunity,

00:41:06dammit.

00:41:07Mr. Crowley,

00:41:08I'm the drone type.

00:41:09I don't want to be

00:41:11another man's mistress.

00:41:13Hadn't your father

00:41:13just fallen ill?

00:41:15Weren't you complaining

00:41:16about money?

00:41:17Don't you even want

00:41:18to help your family,

00:41:19you ingrate?

00:41:32Serve the Duke,

00:41:33and the money's yours.

00:41:35You'll have no short supply

00:41:36of expensive little trinkets.

00:41:39I would never sell my body,

00:41:49not for a few coppers,

00:41:51not for anything.

00:41:53I am a woman of honor.

00:41:56Honor is for people

00:41:58who deserve it,

00:41:59not a lowly whore like you.

00:42:00You don't get to stay now!

00:42:14Let me go,

00:42:15please!

00:42:16Hands off!

00:42:18You don't get to stay now!

00:42:20Let me go,

00:42:21please!

00:42:23Hands off!

00:42:24He didn't hurt you,

00:42:27did he?

00:42:27Are you the Duke, sir?

00:42:31Sir, what is the meaning of this?

00:42:34You imbecile!

00:42:36But sir, you said...

00:42:38Have you no shame

00:42:41acting like this

00:42:42in my manner?

00:42:43Surrey,

00:42:44this bitch refused

00:42:46your orders.

00:42:47It is my right

00:42:48as house steward

00:42:49to teach her

00:42:50a lesson.

00:42:51Apologize to her

00:42:55or I'll have you fired.

00:42:58Apologize, sir,

00:42:59but she's the lowly scullery maid.

00:43:01She was out of line.

00:43:06A lowly maid?

00:43:07Mark my words,

00:43:09she's Duke Arthur's sister.

00:43:10She's his sister?

00:43:17The lowly maid is

00:43:18his sister?

00:43:20Are you

00:43:21really my brother?

00:43:23My Arthur?

00:43:25Yes, Anna.

00:43:26I've come back to protect you

00:43:28and mother

00:43:29and father.

00:43:31Arthur!

00:43:33Where have you been

00:43:33all these years?

00:43:34You missed you terribly.

00:43:37There, there.

00:43:37Let me deal with

00:43:40this man first.

00:43:45Once again,

00:43:47Lord Benjamin,

00:43:48your men have shown

00:43:49their true colors.

00:43:51Disgusting

00:43:51and vile.

00:43:53Sir,

00:43:54I failed to discipline them.

00:43:56But yes,

00:43:58sir,

00:43:59Duke,

00:44:00I was wrong.

00:44:02I would have never

00:44:02treated her like that

00:44:04had I known

00:44:04that she was your sister.

00:44:07Yet you see no issue

00:44:10in treating her this way

00:44:11if she wasn't.

00:44:12Isn't that so?

00:44:15Lowly servants?

00:44:16They're worthless

00:44:17in your eyes,

00:44:17aren't they?

00:44:18Well, Mr. Stewart,

00:44:20you're worthless to me.

00:44:21No!

00:44:22It was Benjamin,

00:44:23the Baron!

00:44:23Lord!

00:44:24He asked me to!

00:44:24No, I didn't!

00:44:26Gods!

00:44:28Don't enter the dungeon!

00:44:29No!

00:44:29No, please!

00:44:30Have him on me!

00:44:31No, sir!

00:44:32No!

00:44:33No!

00:44:34No!

00:44:34Anna,

00:44:37tell me truly,

00:44:39are you alright?

00:44:41Yes,

00:44:42I am now

00:44:43because you're back.

00:44:45And I can't believe it,

00:44:46you're the Duke.

00:44:47Oh,

00:44:48let's go see Mother and Father.

00:44:50They'll be overjoyed.

00:44:51I just know it.

00:44:52Anna,

00:44:52I've already met them.

00:44:54Oh,

00:44:55then you must know

00:44:56the years have been

00:44:57quite hard on them.

00:44:59But it's all worth it

00:45:00because you're back.

00:45:02Anna,

00:45:03stay here.

00:45:04I'll bring them here.

00:45:06Okay?

00:45:08Duke Arthur,

00:45:08I believe that your parents

00:45:10are currently of the Moors.

00:45:12John Moore

00:45:12has been engaged

00:45:13to your sister

00:45:14for some time.

00:45:16Yes,

00:45:17John and I

00:45:18are engaged,

00:45:19but...

00:45:20He's your fiancé,

00:45:21Anna,

00:45:21so I'll love him

00:45:22like a brother.

00:45:24Lord Benjamin,

00:45:25arrange a feast

00:45:25for tonight.

00:45:26I want to show

00:45:27our parents

00:45:27high society

00:45:28and invite

00:45:30John Moore.

00:45:31I'll speak to the king,

00:45:33see if he can grant him

00:45:34a noble title.

00:45:38As you wish,

00:45:39Duke Arthur.

00:45:47Is that the Moors' home?

00:45:48Fine place for a merchant family,

00:45:50but

00:45:50they'll be able to afford

00:45:52better very soon.

00:45:53Well,

00:45:57we're here.

00:45:59The home of our

00:45:59supposed son-in-law.

00:46:01Yeah.

00:46:09You tartaring fool.

00:46:11No!

00:46:12Why have you come back?

00:46:17John,

00:46:17this is your fiancé's father.

00:46:19You will call me

00:46:21Mr. Moore.

00:46:24And you are nothing to me.

00:46:26John!

00:46:27That's Mr. Moore.

00:46:29Shut up.

00:46:31I'm sorry.

00:46:32Mr. Moore,

00:46:33please,

00:46:34let's talk.

00:46:35And what is this

00:46:36about me being

00:46:36your daughter's fiancé?

00:46:39You've always been poor,

00:46:40but now you're liars, too.

00:46:42Mr. Moore,

00:46:43you know as well as I do.

00:46:44You've been

00:46:45betrothed to Anna

00:46:46for years.

00:46:47Your father and I,

00:46:48we had an arrangement.

00:46:49That may be so,

00:46:51but circumstances

00:46:52have changed.

00:46:53Do you think

00:46:54my father

00:46:55would want me

00:46:56marrying someone

00:46:57that comes from

00:46:58you filthy swine?

00:46:59That's not why

00:47:00we're here today.

00:47:02We're here because...

00:47:03Oh, I know.

00:47:05Money.

00:47:05Isn't that right?

00:47:09Alms for the poor.

00:47:11Now away with you.

00:47:13Mr. Moore,

00:47:14we didn't come here

00:47:15today for money.

00:47:16That's enough!

00:47:18Your breath reeks.

00:47:21Beat some sense

00:47:22into the old Kaja

00:47:22and take him out of here.

00:47:25I'd like to see you try.

00:47:29I'd like to see you try.

00:47:34Arthur,

00:47:35my boy,

00:47:36they set you free.

00:47:38Rightfully so,

00:47:39Father.

00:47:39Oh, Arthur.

00:47:40it's so good to see you alive

00:47:43and well.

00:47:43Father,

00:47:44Mother,

00:47:45Robert's been punished

00:47:47for what he did to you.

00:47:49You must be the son

00:47:50I keep hearing so much about.

00:47:52Weren't you kidnapped

00:47:53to join the army?

00:47:55Run away, did you?

00:47:57And now you've come here

00:47:58to leech off me.

00:47:59You're John Moore.

00:48:02Now,

00:48:03did I hear you say

00:48:04you wanted to have

00:48:05my father beaten?

00:48:07So what if I did?

00:48:08What's a runt like you

00:48:11going to do about it anyway?

00:48:13Cry?

00:48:14Piss your pants?

00:48:15Say that again.

00:48:16If you think I'm going to

00:48:24take it easy on you

00:48:25because you're engaged

00:48:26to my sister,

00:48:27then you'd be wrong.

00:48:29Let go of me,

00:48:30you dirty dog.

00:48:36Resulting to violence now,

00:48:37are we?

00:48:38Like the lowlife you are.

00:48:41Come on then.

00:48:43Hit me.

00:48:44And you regret

00:48:45ever being born.

00:48:45You think that can stop me?

00:48:49Who do you think you are?

00:48:58Oh,

00:48:59it's just a peasant.

00:49:01John,

00:49:01my darling,

00:49:02I come bearing good news.

00:49:03Father says

00:49:04the duke has arranged

00:49:05for a banquet

00:49:06at the manor

00:49:06and you're invited.

00:49:08And the duke

00:49:08is going to ask the king

00:49:09to grant you a title.

00:49:11Finally,

00:49:11you can be part of

00:49:12upper society

00:49:12and we can marry.

00:49:13A title?

00:49:14Adela,

00:49:15tell me it's true.

00:49:16I finally have a name

00:49:17to match my wealth.

00:49:20No one will be able

00:49:20to tell us what to do.

00:49:22No one will be able

00:49:23to say no to us.

00:49:26Of course,

00:49:27it's true,

00:49:27John,

00:49:28darling.

00:49:28The duke adores my father.

00:49:29He's the baron,

00:49:30after all.

00:49:31In fact,

00:49:31the duke is at the manor

00:49:32right now.

00:49:35Don't waste your time

00:49:36with these peasants.

00:49:37Let's go,

00:49:38John.

00:49:38Lady Adela,

00:49:39I'm afraid we must deal

00:49:39with these peasants first.

00:49:41As dearly as they are,

00:49:42this is Arthur,

00:49:44honest brother.

00:49:45And now that I'm rich,

00:49:47he wants to force me

00:49:48to marry his sister.

00:49:49What did you say?

00:49:52Oh, I see.

00:49:54You're that boy

00:49:54that was kidnapped

00:49:55as a child.

00:49:57Well then,

00:49:58be gone.

00:49:59We have nothing to give

00:50:00a shameless beggar.

00:50:03Oh, don't touch me,

00:50:04you disgusting man.

00:50:05Don't you know

00:50:06who my father is?

00:50:07Lord Benjamin,

00:50:08evidently.

00:50:09Don't you know?

00:50:11Even your father

00:50:12watches his tongue

00:50:13around me.

00:50:15Adela.

00:50:16Oh, I can't believe

00:50:17I've been touched

00:50:18by a dirty beggar.

00:50:20Have you no manners

00:50:21around the rich?

00:50:22You scum.

00:50:24You better beg

00:50:24for forgiveness

00:50:25if you want to live.

00:50:26And what authority

00:50:27do you have over me?

00:50:29And what authority

00:50:30do you have over me?

00:50:31Every authority,

00:50:32peasant scum.

00:50:34My father

00:50:35is the Baron

00:50:36of Stamford.

00:50:37And now that

00:50:37you're all here,

00:50:39let it be known.

00:50:40I am not

00:50:41going to marry Anna.

00:50:43I am to be a noble,

00:50:44so do not let me

00:50:45catch sight of you

00:50:46all again.

00:50:48Going back

00:50:49on your word, John?

00:50:50That's unbecoming

00:50:51of your future title.

00:50:52I think John

00:50:53has made himself

00:50:53clear enough.

00:50:55Get lost,

00:50:55you blood-sucking leech.

00:50:57Leeching off of him?

00:50:59I would never.

00:51:01His money

00:51:02is as vile

00:51:03as his word.

00:51:05No matter.

00:51:07A man like you

00:51:08doesn't deserve

00:51:09my sister anyway.

00:51:11Men, get him.

00:51:14No!

00:51:16Men, get him.

00:51:18No!

00:51:21Arthur, we will tell Anna.

00:51:24But, please,

00:51:26we cannot anger Mr. Moore.

00:51:29He's going to be

00:51:29a noble now.

00:51:31At least your chambermaid

00:51:33of a mother

00:51:33knows how to act

00:51:34in front of men like me.

00:51:36Drop the matter

00:51:37and I'll let you leave.

00:51:39Amen.

00:51:42We'll go.

00:51:43But best you remember,

00:51:46it is the Wellesleys

00:51:47who called off

00:51:48this engagement.

00:51:49because you,

00:51:52John Moore,

00:51:52are unfit

00:51:54for my sister.

00:51:58John Moore,

00:51:59are unfit

00:52:01for my sister.

00:52:02My word.

00:52:03Unfit.

00:52:04For you.

00:52:06Let's see.

00:52:07Servant,

00:52:08servant,

00:52:09beggar.

00:52:10Oh, you're too funny.

00:52:12Take this as a friendly

00:52:13warning, John.

00:52:15Lest you regret

00:52:16your decision later.

00:52:17I have no mind

00:52:17to regret anything

00:52:19regarding you lot.

00:52:20Now that that's settled,

00:52:22if you ever

00:52:23speak to us again,

00:52:25I will have

00:52:25your legs cut off.

00:52:28Come now.

00:52:29We have a banquet

00:52:30to attend.

00:52:39That's the Moors

00:52:40for you.

00:52:41Some coin

00:52:42and they forget

00:52:43everything

00:52:43they've ever done

00:52:44for them.

00:52:45Oh, Arthur.

00:52:45I wish we had

00:52:47had a better

00:52:48reception for you.

00:52:49Oh, Mother,

00:52:50don't say that,

00:52:51please.

00:52:52I've already

00:52:52arranged something

00:52:53for you.

00:52:54I finally found you.

00:52:55That's cause

00:52:55for celebration.

00:52:56You've arranged

00:52:57something?

00:52:58No.

00:52:59No, I...

00:53:00Please,

00:53:01I hope you haven't

00:53:02spent any coin

00:53:03on us, Arthur.

00:53:04What have you arranged?

00:53:05Just something small

00:53:06at the Baron's Manor.

00:53:08Don't worry, Mother.

00:53:09It's been paid for.

00:53:11At the Baron's Manor?

00:53:12Arthur,

00:53:12we...

00:53:13Haven't you heard

00:53:14the Duke will be there?

00:53:15We can't possibly impose.

00:53:17It's...

00:53:18Like I said, Mother,

00:53:20don't worry.

00:53:21You'll see.

00:53:23Oh, sh...

00:53:24Lady Adela,

00:53:34this is all

00:53:35very splendid.

00:53:37You must introduce

00:53:38us to the Duke

00:53:39when he arrives.

00:53:40Oh, Mrs. Moore,

00:53:41of course.

00:53:42As the Baron of Stanford,

00:53:44my father is very

00:53:45close to the Duke.

00:53:46It's likely he was

00:53:47the one to recommend

00:53:48John in the first place.

00:53:50Of course,

00:53:51the Duke would love

00:53:52to meet you.

00:53:53I cannot believe it.

00:53:54A noble title.

00:53:56Lady Adela,

00:53:56you are simply

00:53:57full of surprises.

00:53:59You are the best match

00:54:00for John,

00:54:01no doubt about it.

00:54:03I've been meaning

00:54:04to ask, Adela.

00:54:05Why would someone

00:54:06like the Duke

00:54:07come to Stanford

00:54:07in the first place?

00:54:08Well, Stanford

00:54:09is his hometown.

00:54:11The King dispatched him

00:54:12here to oversee

00:54:13the building

00:54:14of a new fort.

00:54:15The real reason

00:54:16is his parents.

00:54:18He was separated

00:54:18from them

00:54:19when he was a child.

00:54:20Even this banquet

00:54:21I hear is all for them.

00:54:23Must be good,

00:54:24noble people

00:54:25to rear such a fine man

00:54:27like the Duke.

00:54:28We must

00:54:29make a good impression.

00:54:31Mm-hmm.

00:54:31How did those peasants

00:54:51get in?

00:54:58This banquet,

00:54:58I've arranged it all

00:55:00for you.

00:55:01I'll introduce you

00:55:02to everyone shortly.

00:55:04Arthur,

00:55:05don't just...

00:55:06What do you mean

00:55:07for us?

00:55:08Mother,

00:55:10I'm serious.

00:55:11This is all for you.

00:55:13But...

00:55:14How could you

00:55:15have arranged all this?

00:55:16How much money

00:55:17did you spend?

00:55:18Money has nothing

00:55:19to do with it, Father.

00:55:21I just want

00:55:21to see you happy.

00:55:22We are happy.

00:55:24Truly happy.

00:55:26We're finally

00:55:26all together again.

00:55:27John,

00:55:33I thought

00:55:33you told them

00:55:34to get lost.

00:55:34Why are they back?

00:55:40John,

00:55:40I thought

00:55:41you told them

00:55:41to get lost.

00:55:42Why are they back?

00:55:43Damn lowlives.

00:55:45They must have

00:55:45tailed us in.

00:55:47I knew those

00:55:48ill-bred dogs

00:55:49would go away

00:55:50that easily.

00:55:51Scoundrels,

00:55:52all.

00:55:53Mrs. Moore,

00:55:54rest easy.

00:55:56This banquet

00:55:57is held

00:55:57on the Duke's orders

00:55:59and Father

00:55:59asked me

00:56:00to see

00:56:00that our guests

00:56:01enjoy themselves.

00:56:03I have every authority

00:56:04to throw them out.

00:56:09Come.

00:56:09who let you in?

00:56:24Who let you in?

00:56:25You must be lost,

00:56:27peasant.

00:56:27This is the Duke's banquet,

00:56:29not the gruel kitchen.

00:56:31I suggest you turn around

00:56:32immediately.

00:56:33And I suggest you

00:56:34shut your mouth.

00:56:35This is my manor.

00:56:38My father is hosting it

00:56:40under direct orders

00:56:41of the Duke.

00:56:42You have no place

00:56:43to speak here.

00:56:46And you?

00:56:47You must be the bitch

00:56:49that John was engaged to.

00:56:51I'll have you know

00:56:52John is going to be

00:56:54a noble.

00:56:55You'll have no way

00:56:57into his home.

00:56:58Unless you'd like

00:56:59to be our maid

00:57:00once we marry.

00:57:02Lowborn as I may be,

00:57:03I'm still more noble

00:57:05than a harlot like you.

00:57:06You wench.

00:57:08I will not let you

00:57:09talk to Lady Adela

00:57:10like this.

00:57:11Apologize right now.

00:57:13I owe her nothing

00:57:14of the sort.

00:57:15She is the one

00:57:16who's courting

00:57:16an engaged man.

00:57:17I told your parents

00:57:20and your disgusting

00:57:21beggar of a brother

00:57:22I called off

00:57:24the engagement.

00:57:25You're not good enough

00:57:27for me.

00:57:27You're wrong.

00:57:29It's you who isn't

00:57:29good enough for me.

00:57:31I would never marry

00:57:32a man with such a fickle.

00:57:33heart who would

00:57:34abandon his fiancée

00:57:36just to chase after

00:57:36some harlot's coin.

00:57:41You dirty bitch.

00:57:43That's what you get

00:57:44for talking to my son

00:57:45like that.

00:57:49How dare you

00:57:50raise your hands

00:57:51to my daughter.

00:57:52How dare she

00:57:53insult my son.

00:57:54You're right,

00:57:55mother.

00:57:56We ought to slap

00:57:56some sense into them.

00:57:58Anna,

00:57:58look at yourself.

00:58:00you're nothing

00:58:01compared to Lady Adela.

00:58:03It's no wonder

00:58:03I chose her.

00:58:05Lady Adela

00:58:06is Lord Benjamin's

00:58:07daughter.

00:58:09What do you have

00:58:11that Lady Adela

00:58:12doesn't?

00:58:13Besides this useless

00:58:14beggar of a brother.

00:58:17Do not insult my brother.

00:58:19He is more noble

00:58:20than any of you.

00:58:20All this dirty work

00:58:30must have done you in.

00:58:32A beggar

00:58:33like him.

00:58:34You lowly peasants.

00:58:36None of you

00:58:37deserve to talk to us.

00:58:39Get out

00:58:39or we'll throw you

00:58:41out with force.

00:58:43Get out

00:58:44or we'll throw you

00:58:45out with force.

00:58:46It is you

00:58:47who ought

00:58:47to be thrown out.

00:58:53Hmm.

00:58:54What a pretty

00:58:55money-sucking

00:58:57leech.

00:58:59I would tell her.

00:59:01I'm disgusted

00:59:02by the implication.

00:59:05Despite her

00:59:05features,

00:59:07a maid that

00:59:07cleans chamber

00:59:08parts all day

00:59:09is more fit

00:59:10to marry a stable

00:59:11boy.

00:59:11Say that again

00:59:12and I'll make

00:59:13you pay.

00:59:14Oh no.

00:59:15What are you

00:59:16going to do?

00:59:18Hit me?

00:59:20Well come on then.

00:59:21Have at it.

00:59:25Well,

00:59:26I do say

00:59:28I think this was

00:59:28the first time

00:59:29I heard someone

00:59:29ask for it.

00:59:31But,

00:59:31I think we all

00:59:33heard him clearly enough.

00:59:36You feel it!

00:59:37You actually-

00:59:38You asked for it.

00:59:40I obliged.

00:59:45Lord Benjamin.

00:59:47The Duke has

00:59:47arrived.

00:59:48He's here already.

00:59:50We have to go.

00:59:51You asked for it.

00:59:53I am to be

00:59:54a noble

00:59:54and you will not

00:59:55offend me again.

00:59:57Why should I care?

00:59:58I'm sure Lord

00:59:59Benjamin would

00:59:59understand.

01:00:00Do not speak

01:00:01my father's name.

01:00:02You're dead.

01:00:04My father will see

01:00:04to it when he arrives.

01:00:06On your knees.

01:00:07And I demand

01:00:08you apologize to John

01:00:09now.

01:00:11And your filthy

01:00:11parents too.

01:00:13Down!

01:00:13Who do you think

01:00:14you are barking

01:00:15orders at me?

01:00:15Don't think you're

01:00:16so high and mighty

01:00:17just because

01:00:18you followed us in.

01:00:19You've no right

01:00:20to speak to my son

01:00:21or Lady Adela

01:00:22like this.

01:00:22Don't you know

01:00:23how much I suffered

01:00:25being betrothed

01:00:26to your dirty

01:00:26whore of a sister?

01:00:28I will not

01:00:29let you embarrass

01:00:30me again.

01:00:33We've been

01:00:34gracious enough

01:00:35letting the matter

01:00:35go yet you

01:00:36shameless rats

01:00:37won't stop

01:00:38bothering us.

01:00:39Away!

01:00:40Off with you!

01:00:41Oh Mrs. Moore

01:00:42I have a much

01:00:43better idea.

01:00:45Let's add a few

01:00:46tears to their

01:00:46teary reunion.

01:00:48Guards!

01:00:52Execute him!

01:00:53No!

01:00:54I want to watch

01:00:55as they lose

01:00:55their precious son

01:00:57again.

01:00:59Oh Lady Adela

01:01:00I think if that's

01:01:01the case

01:01:01we ought to

01:01:02keep him alive.

01:01:03He's already

01:01:04a useless beggar.

01:01:06We ought to

01:01:06break his legs

01:01:07and keep him

01:01:08that way.

01:01:08Lisa!

01:01:09Lady Moore

01:01:10please

01:01:11I apologize

01:01:12I'll have

01:04:18behavior was to me

01:04:23mother and father

01:04:24Your actions

01:04:31I plan to exile

01:04:33the Moore family

01:04:33from the good town

01:04:34of Stamford

01:04:35Oh you've gone mad

01:04:40Truly mad

01:04:44restrain him

01:04:45for the safety

01:04:45of your guests

01:04:47flogged in the dungeon

01:04:48What's this again

01:04:53Lord Benjamin

01:04:57you finally come

01:04:59My lord

01:05:03I say we take them

01:05:04to the dungeons

01:05:05This is the duke's banquet

01:05:12Adela

01:05:12I will not tolerate

01:05:14your antics

01:05:15Pardon me father

01:05:16It seems I've been lax

01:05:18for these lowly

01:05:19dirty servants

01:05:20have snuck in

01:05:21Lowly

01:05:22dirty servants

01:05:24Yes father

01:05:28The mister and missus

01:05:31and he's a beggar

01:05:33a vile

01:05:34disgusting man

01:05:36Perhaps we could

01:05:37send them away

01:05:38with some scraps

01:05:38from the kitchens

01:05:39I dare say

01:05:40it'd be better
