00:00:00The duke is taken by the Baron to the war. We 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, clouded 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.
00:00:49No!
00:00:50No!
00:00:51No!
00:00:52No!
00:00:53No!
00:00:54No!
00:00:55Please!
00:00:56Please!
00:00:57I don't want to go to war!
00:00:58Spare me!
00:00:59I'm scared, Arthur.
00:01:00Will they take you and Papa away too?
00:01:01No!
00:01:02They won't.
00:01:03Okay?
00:01:04I got something for both of you.
00:01:05I had these blessed by the church today.
00:01:07This one is for you, Arthur.
00:01:08And this one, Anna, is for you, Arthur.
00:01:09And this one, Anna, is for you.
00:01:10I'm scared, Arthur.
00:01:11I'm scared, Arthur.
00:01:12Will they take you and Papa away too?
00:01:13No, they won't.
00:01:14Okay?
00:01:15I got something for both of you.
00:01:16I had these blessed by the church today.
00:01:18This one is for you, Arthur, and this one, Anna, is for you.
00:01:36May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:01:44Thank you, Mom.
00:01:45Thank you, Mom.
00:01:48I love you.
00:01:51Mama?
00:01:52Yes?
00:01:53My belly hurts.
00:01:54I think I need to go potty.
00:01:56I see.
00:01:58Yes, I...
00:01:59Wait, Mama.
00:02:01It's Papa's birthday today.
00:02:03I was wondering if I could have some coins
00:02:05so I could get a little, little bit of beef.
00:02:08Just a little bit.
00:02:16I'm sorry, but we can't afford beef.
00:02:20Maybe we could have a chicken.
00:02:22Your favorite chicken pie.
00:02:24Huzzah!
00:02:25Thank you, Mom.
00:02:26I love you.
00:02:28I love you.
00:02:33Bye!
00:02:45Every man must stand and fight.
00:02:55Take him.
00:02:56Stop!
00:02:57No, I'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?
00:03:12Arthur?
00:03:13Arthur?
00:03:14Arthur?
00:03:15Arthur?
00:03:27Mama!
00:03:28What?
00:03:29What?
00:03:30What?
00:03:31What?
00:03:32Have you seen my son?
00:03:33Have you seen Arthur?
00:03:34The Baron's men took him.
00:03:35What?
00:03:36They're marching him to the border.
00:03:37They're sending him to war.
00:03:38No!
00:03:39No!
00:03:40No!
00:03:41No!
00:03:42No!
00:03:43No!
00:03:44No!
00:03:45No!
00:03:46No!
00:03:47No!
00:03:48No!
00:03:49No!
00:03:50No!
00:03:51No!
00:03:52No!
00:03:53No!
00:03:54No!
00:03:55No!
00:03:56No!
00:03:57No!
00:03:58No!
00:03:59No!
00:04:00No!
00:04:01He...
00:04:02Jane!
00:04:03You're hurt!
00:04:04Girl!
00:04:05They took him!
00:04:06We have to get him!
00:04:07He's only 13!
00:04:08He won't survive on the battlefield!
00:04:10We...
00:04:11Let's go!
00:04:12He...
00:04:13No?
00:04:14You seen a boy?
00:04:15You seen Arthur?
00:04:16You seen Arthur?
00:04:17He's our son?
00:04:18Right here with...
00:04:19With...
00:04:20With...
00:04:21Soldier...
00:04:22Hey!
00:04:23Are you soldiers with the Baron?
00:04:24Have you seen a boy?
00:04:25A strong lad?
00:04:26Brown hair?
00:04:27About this tall?
00:04:28The boy we took from the market, is it?
00:04:29Yes!
00:04:30Yes!
00:04:31Yes!
00:04:32Yes!
00:04:33Yes!
00:04:34Yes!
00:04:35That's him!
00:04:36Where is he?
00:04:37Your boy is either dead or going to be soon!
00:04:38He can't be!
00:04:39You're lying!
00:04:40Away with you, woman!
00:04:41Give me back my son!
00:04:42The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old!
00:04:44Arthur's 13!
00:04:45Please!
00:04:46Ah!
00:04:47Ah!
00:04:48Ah!
00:04:49If you didn't want him gone, you should've kept him at home!
00:04:50You have no one to blame but yourself!
00:04:51It's all my fault I killed him!
00:04:52I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself, it's...
00:04:54Shut up, wench!
00:04:55Or I'll make you join him real soon!
00:04:57Comet now!
00:04:58Foolish as they are!
00:04:59We can't just kill as we wish!
00:05:00Comet boy from Filth Like You!
00:05:01He was doomed from the moment he met us!
00:05:03Ah!
00:05:04Ah!
00:05:05Ah!
00:05:06Ah!
00:05:07Ah!

00:05:50Ah!
00:05:51Ah!
00:05:52Ah!
00:05:53Ah!
00:05:54Ah!
00:05:55Ah!
00:05:56Ah!
00:05:57I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:06:25Your Majesty, nothing escapes you.
00:06:29Nothing does escape me.
00:06:31Which 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.
00:06:48Go, 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 would be so proud to see the man you've become.
00:07:11And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?
00:07:18I won't let you down, sir.
00:07:20I miss you.
00:07:27Robert, my sweet nephew.
00:07:31Here.
00:07:32All my wages.
00:07:34I'm depending on you.
00:07:37You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin.
00:07:41I beg of you.
00:07:43Aunt Jane, my 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.
00:07:56Robert, maybe you can ask the Duke to help me find my son.
00:08:01I've heard that the Duke is a great knight in battle,
00:08:03so perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with this necklace.
00:08:07Maybe he knows my Arthur.
00:08:09Have you lost your wits?
00:08:12Ask the Duke for help.
00:08:14Who do you think you are?
00:08:16Even 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.
00:08:37Don'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.
00:08:45But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages, you would help me find my son.
00:08:51I told you not today.
00:08:54The Duke could be here any second.
00:08:57Get lost before he sees your ugly face.
00:09:00The Duke is here.
00:09:01Go!
00:09:02Get!
00:09:03That's the Duke.
00:09:04He's the one that defeated the Five Kingdoms.
00:09:05The King treats him like a son.
00:09:06There's one who involves a boy.
00:09:07With you, first through it.
00:09:08Children fought him.
00:09:09Although children fought two u northsets.
00:09:10No bombsets.
00:09:12No bombsets.
00:09:13That's the Duke!
00:09:15That's the Duke!
00:09:16The Duke beat.
00:09:17We beat him.
00:09:18The Duke beat.
00:09:19He's the one that defeated the 5 Kingdoms.
00:09:20I can't tell myself, the king treats me like a suck.
00:09:50Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:10:10Welcome, 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.
00:10:21I 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, she wore a pendant like this.
00:10:47May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:11:01Could this be me?
00:11:03Finding who this belongs to.
00:11:05I will see to this personally.
00:11:11Mom.
00:11:13Where are you?
00:11:16The Duke of Mercia has come to the Baron's Manor.
00:11:20The king must hold him in high regard.
00:11:23They say he's looking for his family.
00:11:25Who 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 then possibly the Duke is my author.
00:11:41Don't be stupid.
00:11:42This is the Duke.
00:11:44Second 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.
00:11:52Stop being delusional.
00:11:56No.
00:11:58I must see the Duke.
00:12:01Have you lost your mind?
00:12:02Do you mind?
00:12:20I 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.
00:12:46What were you thinking?
00:12:48Your 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.
00:13:01That 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...
00:13:18Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:13:20Calling the Duke your son?
00:13:22What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:13:26Please.
00:13:27Just let me speak to him.
00:13:29Let me show him this.
00:13:30Ow!
00:13:31Ow!
00:13:32Ow!
00:13:33Ow!
00:13:34Robert!
00:13:35Robert!
00:13:36Don't!
00:13:37Not while the Duke is here.
00:13:38Robert!
00:13:39What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:40Anna!
00:13:41Give me that back I needed to find Arthur.
00:13:47Worthless piece of junk.
00:13:48Robert.
00:13:49We're family.
00:13:50We're supposed to help each other.
00:13:51But you're fun.
00:13:52Family?
00:13:53It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:13:54My son has risen up through the ranks.
00:13:56While yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:13:57It's pathetic, really.
00:13:59I know, but I...
00:14:00I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur and you...
00:14:02You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:14:03You never even thought to live.
00:14:04You never even thought to live.
00:14:05You were supposed to help each other.
00:14:06What you've done.
00:14:07Family?
00:14:08It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:14:10My son has risen up through the ranks.
00:14:13While yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:14:18It's pathetic, really.
00:14:20You know, but I...
00:14:21I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur and you...
00:14:27Oh!
00:14:28You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:14:31You never even thought to look for him. You liar! You cheat!
00:14:36Give me back my coin!
00:14:38Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:14:41In this, say goodbye to your son.
00:14:49No!
00:14:52Mother, no!
00:14:58Mother, no!
00:15:01Come, Mother. Let's go.
00:15:07Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:15:09We'll never be able to find Arthur enough with this.
00:15:12It's all right.
00:15:13It's all right, Mother. Have you forgotten? I carry one, too.
00:15:18Oh, Anna.
00:15:19Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur, I'll see what I can do.
00:15:31Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:15:42Your Grace, my lord.
00:15:45Oh, oh, oh, forgive me, Your Grace!
00:15:51Oh, oh, oh, oh, forgive me, Your Grace!
00:16:05Useless girl!
00:16:08Your Grace, are you all right?
00:16:12I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:16:14No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:16:16Your kindness humbles us all.
00:16:19Well, don't just sit there!
00:16:22Clean yourself up!
00:16:23Clean yourself up!
00:16:28Why does she seem so familiar?
00:16:30It seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:16:36How could Robert do this to you?
00:16:41He'd 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.
00:16:51It's only gonna get worse now that Robert is butler to the baron.
00:16:57Mother?
00:16:59Father?
00:17:02This 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.
00:17:14I will start the process right away.
00:17:23Father?
00:17:25What did the Duke say? Did he...
00:17:30Mother?
00:17:32I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:17:35No.
00:17:36He does...
00:17:37He does resemble him, yes, but...
00:17:40He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:17:42No.
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.
00:17:58Thank you, Hannah.
00:18:01Oh.
00:18:06Your Grace.
00:18:08I 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.
00:18:25Your Grace.
00:18:34Well, it must be Anna. She must have forgot something.
00:18:38Anna?
00:18:40Oh.
00:18:42Yeah.
00:18:43What are you all doing here?
00:18:49Especially after what you did to my wife?
00:18:51Long time no see, brother.
00:18:53Still living in this hovel, huh?
00:18:55Would you like some bread?
00:18:58We were just about to sit down for lunch.
00:19:00So I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:19:02You call this food?
00:19:03The Baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.
00:19:12But 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.
00:19:23It really is a shack.
00:19:32But 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.
00:19:41To bolster our defenses.
00:19:43The order came directly from the Duke himself.
00:19:46But you will be well compensated for the trouble.
00:19:50What?
00:19:51Just 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?
00:20:06No, this is our family home.
00:20:08No.
00:20:10If Arthur returns, how will he find his way home?
00:20:12She's right. We won't give up our land.
00:20:14Not for 20 gold coins, not for nothing.
00:20:16Then you are dafter than I thought.
00:20:17What?
00:20:18Let 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.
00:20:27Arthur will return.
00:20:28And we will remain here until he does.
00:20:30Yes.
00:20:31You have no hope, not for any penny coin.
00:20:33You don't get a say.
00:20:35The order comes from above.
00:20:36Enough of this insolence!
00:20:38Leave my house at once!
00:20:39Leave my house!
00:20:40Carl!
00:20:45Carl, you're right.
00:20:46We are family!
00:20:47We are supposed to support each other, and if you can't do that, then leave!
00:20:53Then you've chosen death!
00:20:55So be it!
00:20:59This place really does feel so familiar.
00:21:06What?
00:21:08What are you do-
00:21:09I'll tell you this one last time.
00:21:15Sign the 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!
00:21:29No!
00:21:30No!
00:21:32No!
00:21:43Stop it!
00:21:56Stop it!
00:21:57That's an order!
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? The 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 henchman.
00:22:13I told him to see that every family is compensated fairly.
00:22:17And this is how you choose to do it?
00:22:26Good folks, you have my word.
00:22:28I will make this matter right.
00:22:30Lord Benjamin requests your land to build a new fort.
00:22:33But we will provide whatever is necessary for you.
00:22:36Do you know the Baron?
00:22:38Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?
00:22:40All we ask is that we remain here.
00:22:42We cannot leave our home, please.
00:22:44Rest assured, you'll be well compensated if you choose to depart.
00:22:49No, we don't want coin.
00:22:51This is my son's home.
00:22:53If it's torn down, he will never find his way home.
00:22:56Your 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.
00:23:05If we leave, he'll never find his way back.
00:23:09Please.
00:23:11Please, I beg of you.
00:23:13It was pinned.
00:23:17Yes.
00:23:18It was a token.
00:23:19A promise that my children and I would always be family together.
00:23:27This one is for you, Arthur.
00:23:34What?
00:23:34Mother.
00:23:46Mother.
00:23:46Arthur.
00:23:47Arthur.
00:23:47Arthur.
00:23:47Arthur.
00:23:48Arthur.
00:23:48Is it you?
00:23:52It's me, Mom.
00:23:53Mom.
00:23:53I've come home.
00:23:55My boy.
00:23:56Three, ten long years.
00:23:58We searched for you.
00:24:00And finally, you come back to us.
00:24:04I'm sorry.
00:24:06I'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.
00:24:13Can we stop with the theatrics?
00:24:23Ten years have passed, and cousin Arthur returns as a peasant.
00:24:28I'd cry too if this were my son.
00:24:30Laura and George, do you see Arthur has come home?
00:24:34What's there to cheer for?
00:24:35A beggar for a son?
00:24:36Or a thief, more likely.
00:24:39Look at him, wandering around, starving and desperate.
00:24:44I don't care what you say, but my son has come home, and 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 would 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 at this pigsty.
00:25:20Don't you point your finger at me.
00:25:23I could do much worse.
00:25:25Or do you want me to get my fiancée so you can beg for her forgiveness instead?
00:25:29Remember, 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!
00:25:38This 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.
00:26:02I'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?
00:26:18You scum!
00:26:20I'll have you know just how much I am worth.
00:26:22Inform Lady Edith.
00:26:24Ask her to come, won't you?
00:26:25Yes, Mr. Wellesley.
00:26:26Well, well, well.
00:26:28You fools have chosen not to take the gold, but it was the Baron's orders.
00:26:33Your hovel must come down.
00:26:35Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?
00:26:38That's Baron Stamford to you.
00:26:40On the contrary.
00:26:41I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.
00:26:43Are you mad?
00:26:47Who do you think you are?
00:26:49The Duke?
00:26:50Pulling rank like you're anything special.
00:26:53I dare say I'm special enough that even Lord Benjamin would kneel before me.
00:26:58What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:27:04Lord Benjamin, sir.
00:27:05The Duke has dismissed his guards and gone on a stroll.
00:27:08Where to?
00:27:09Around where the families are being asked to relocate, sir.
00:27:12What?
00:27:13Well, I hope he doesn't run into the Wellesleys.
00:27:16Guards, come with me.
00:27:19What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:27:27Did I just hear someone disrespecting my cousin, the Baron of Stamford?
00:27:33I tried to pay these lowlifes with gold,
00:27:37but they refused to leave their pigsty,
00:27:40and their son even hit me.
00:27:45You scumbag.
00:27:46How dare you lay your dirty hands on my fiancé?
00:27:50Do you know who I am?
00:27:52Why would I care who you are?
00:27:53He hit my parents, so I hit him back.
00:27:56Sounds 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.
00:28:04You'll pay for what you've done.
00:28:06Bring him to the dungeons.
00:28:08No.
00:28:09I'll teach him a lesson.
00:28:10No, no, no, no, please don't.
00:28:12Please don't.
00:28:12No, please don't.
00:28:14Lord Benjamin's cousin.
00:28:16Is this how he taught you to behave?
00:28:18Oh.
00:28:20I didn't expect a lowly peasant like you
00:28:22to know who my cousin is.
00:28:23Don't tell me he's spoken to you before.
00:28:26Of course.
00:28:27In fact,
00:28:28why don't you ask him who I am?
00:28:30That's enough.
00:28:31Guards, seize him.
00:28:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:28:34Don't take care of them.
00:28:35Please, he just came back.
00:28:37No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:28:37Please don't.
00:28:38Let go of me.
00:28:40This is your last chance.
00:28:42Seize me,
00:28:42and you'll have to face the consequences of your crime.
00:28:45As if I'd fear anything from a runt like you.
00:28:47I could kill you right now if I wanted to.
00:28:51Kill me?
00:28:51No.
00:28:52Is that right?
00:28:53No.
00:28:53Fine.
00:28:54I'll go with you.
00:28:55But don't say I didn't warn you.
00:28:57Watch your tongue.
00:28:58But don't worry.
00:28:59Soon, you'll be too busy screaming in my dungeon to talk back.
00:29:04Please, please don't hurt him, no, Arthur.
00:29:06Father, Mother, don't worry. I'll be back very soon.
00:29:10You think you're coming back? Take him away!
00:29:14Oh, don't!
00:29:16Take your hand out of my son!
00:29:18Well, well. I didn't expect that runt to hit me.
00:29:22Just wait. The two of you will join him soon.
00:29:25Let's go, Father.
00:29:26Serves you right, brother.
00:29:29I don't know.
00:29:38What happened here?
00:29:40Lord Benjamin, it was all your butler's doing.
00:29:44And your cousin, Lady Edith.
00:29:46They even took my son to the dungeon.
00:29:48Your son?
00:29:52Tall and with dark hair?
00:29:56Oh!
00:29:57We need to go! Now!
00:30:04Carl, what are we going to do? Because Arthur's gone.
00:30:07Anne. Anne is engaged to John Moore. The Moors can help.
00:30:10They're engaged? Yes, but that was years ago. John Moore's a rich man now.
00:30:13We have to try, Carl. Please.
00:30:17You're right.
00:30:18You're right. We have to try.
00:30:19We have to find our son.
00:30:20What happened to that fire? That rage? Scared of the consequences now, runt?
00:30:31Consequences? For giving you what you deserve.
00:30:33Watch your mouth.
00:30:40Your family is done for and you're still talking back.
00:30:47No, my lady. It's your family that's done for.
00:30:51I've made up my mind.
00:30:52I will not spare you.
00:30:53Me. Needing sparing from you.
00:30:58You've gone mad.
00:31:03It seems like you've gotten it in your head that you could do something to us.
00:31:09Let me remind you of your place.
00:31:12You insolent brat!
00:31:26What are you doing?
00:31:28Reminding you of your place.
00:31:33Stop it or I'll have you killed!
00:31:35You have me killed.
00:31:38You've got the wrong man.
00:31:42Consider it your warning, cousin.
00:31:55The gall of you!
00:31:58Threatening me and then calling yourself my cousin!
00:32:01I won't let you off easy!
00:32:03You want another go?
00:32:04Still trying to act tough?
00:32:06It seems like we'll need to teach you a lesson.
00:32:09Guards,
00:32:11flog him!
00:32:12Hold it!
00:32:17You're not flogging anyone.
00:32:22Hold it!
00:32:30Oh, cousin, you don't understand.
00:32:32This lowly scum had disregarded your orders
00:32:35and impeded the Duke's relocation efforts
00:32:37and he even tried to punch me.
00:32:39Cousin Benjamin, you must see to it that he is punished.
00:32:43Stopped oinking once the Baron showed up, hmm?
00:32:46Your side of the Wellesley family is going to be dinner.
00:32:49Sir, 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.
00:32:59What happened again?
00:33:00We had gone to the less fortunate Wellesley's to evict them,
00:33:03but he tried to stop us.
00:33:05So, Edith had him brought here to teach him a lesson,
00:33:08but it looks like he hasn't learned anything.
00:33:11Oh, sir, you don't know the half of it.
00:33:13He hit us and ordered us to kneel to him.
00:33:17He even said that you were lowlier than he.
00:33:20You must punish him accordingly.
00:33:23As I was saying, the consequences of your actions.
00:33:28Oh, you 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.
00:33:42There is no misunderstanding.
00:33:46Have you lost your mind?
00:33:48Do you know who this man is?
00:33:53Do you know who this man is?
00:33:55He's nothing but a beggar, the son of peasants.
00:34:02Get out of my sight, you pathetic woman.
00:34:07Duke of Mercia, your grace.
00:34:10Pardon my tardiness.
00:34:15Duke?
00:34:16What do you mean, Duke?
00:34:18Sir, you must be mistaken.
00:34:21Rightly so.
00:34:22He's a peasant, a beggar.
00:34:24How can he be the Duke?
00:34:28Don't question me.
00:34:30No.
00:34:31No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:34:32This is possible.
00:34:34How can you say you're the Duke?
00:34:37Shut it, Wellesley.
00:34:39You 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.
00:34:47George, what have we done?
00:34:57Lord Vengeance.
00:34:58It seems that you've neglected your duties as baron.
00:35:03Your people have shown me nothing but disdain.
00:35:06They take from the poor, torture your innocent, pillage and kill.
00:35:11Have you no order in Stanford?
00:35:14Have them punished for their wrongdoings.
00:35:16Their wrongdoings.
00:35:18I imagine then, it was you who have allowed them to do this.
00:35:22And it is you who must be punished.
00:35:25Mercy, Your Grace.
00:35:27I will have them flogged, exiled, punished to the extent of the law.
00:35:32Please, Your Grace, spare us.
00:35:35Cousin.
00:35:36It's my fault.
00:35:40See, Your Grace, I've been a fool.
00:35:44Punish me, flog me as you will.
00:35:48Let me live.
00:35:49We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.
00:35:52I don't want to die.
00:35:55Young Arthur, my son had just become a butler.
00:35:59He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.
00:36:03Please, we adore him so.
00:36:05You mustn't kill him or exile him.
00:36:09Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's own brother.
00:36:14Oh, you're too cruel, Arthur.
00:36:16How can you do this to another Wellesley?
00:36:22Cruelty?
00:36:25Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?
00:36:28Threatening to leave them homeless and laughing in their face when they begged you!
00:36:32Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?
00:36:34Your own brother?
00:36:38And cousin Robert?
00:36:40What happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?
00:36:43Did you pity your poor cousin then?
00:36:45I've seen you for what you are.
00:36:48Shameless and wretched scum.
00:36:51You are unfit to live.
00:36:55Have them dealt with.
00:36:57And think about what you've done.
00:36:59You're meant to be noble.
00:37:00Not only in your actions, but in your name.
00:37:03See that your people behave.
00:37:05Or I'll have your title removed.
00:37:07I will see to them personally.
00:37:09Oh, please.
00:37:12Oh, sir.
00:37:13Please.
00:37:14Robert deceived me.
00:37:15It's all his fault.
00:37:17Please, Duke Arthur.
00:37:18Spare me.
00:37:20I'll do anything for you.
00:37:22Egypt.
00:37:23What are you doing?
00:37:24You villain.
00:37:28If it weren't for you, I never would have gotten involved with this mess.
00:37:31I'm calling on her engagement.
00:37:33From this moment onward, I'll have nothing to do with you.
00:37:36I beg of you, O'Greed and Honorable Duke.
00:37:39Forgive me.
00:37:41Don't you want to see what I have to offer?
00:37:43Save yourself.
00:37:46Lord Benjamin.
00:37:48Make sure these vermin never cross my path again.
00:37:53They make me sick.
00:37:59Gods!
00:38:00Lock them up.
00:38:01Cousin, please!
00:38:02Won't you speak to him?
00:38:04Just let me go.
00:38:05I won't ever do it again.
00:38:09No!
00:38:10No!
00:38:11Cousin!
00:38:12Please!
00:38:13Please!
00:38:14No!
00:38:20In good news, Benjamin, I found my parents.
00:38:24That is wonderful, Your Grace.
00:38:26What a blessed day it is.
00:38:28I wish to host a banquet tonight.
00:38:30Introduce my parents to upper society.
00:38:34Life has been cruel to them, and I wish for them to live happily.
00:38:39Oh, and my sister too, Anna.
00:38:41Anna, I want to do something special for her as well.
00:38:44Did you just say Anna?
00:38:47It's in the maid, Anna.
00:38:48Right.
00:38:49Anna.
00:38:50She works here, doesn't she?
00:38:51Oh.
00:38:53Seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:38:56Mr. Wellesley, Lord Benjamin says Anna is to attend to the Duke personally for the next few days.
00:39:04Did you just say Anna?
00:39:12It's in the maid, Anna.
00:39:13Right.
00:39:14Anna.
00:39:15She works here, doesn't she?
00:39:16Bring me to her.
00:39:17Uh, no, Your Grace, I...
00:39:19What?
00:39:20I thought, uh, I thought that you fancied her, so I...
00:39:24What have you done?
00:39:25Bring me to her right now!
00:39:26You have fine features.
00:39:40For a scullery maid, I can see why he likes you.
00:39:45Mr. Crowley, did you need something?
00:39:48Yes, pet.
00:39:50You've been chosen.
00:39:52Take off your clothes.
00:39:58What are you going to do to me?
00:40:00Oh, don't worry.
00:40:01I have no interest in you.
00:40:03I wouldn't dare.
00:40:07Put this on.
00:40:14Perfect.
00:40:16I can see why he chose you in particular.
00:40:19Mr. Crowley, what's all this about?
00:40:22The Baron has ordered you to meet another client.
00:40:25A big man.
00:40:27You are to be his mistress.
00:40:28To satisfy his physical needs, of course.
00:40:32An honor for a common whore like you.
00:40:35No, I refuse.
00:40:37You don't have a choice.
00:40:40Baron's orders.
00:40:44Do you even know who you are serving?
00:40:47It is the Duke.
00:40:48The one you poured tea on.
00:40:50What?
00:40:50The Duke?
00:40:51Aw, dumb already, are you?
00:40:54Still think you can say no, whore?
00:40:56Please.
00:40:56I don't want to.
00:40:58No.
00:41:02It's a good opportunity, dammit.
00:41:06Mr. Crowley, I'm betrothed.
00:41:08I don't want to be another man's mistress.
00:41:11Hadn't your father just fallen ill?
00:41:14Weren't you complaining about money?
00:41:16Don't you even want to help your family, you ingrate?
00:41:31Serve the Duke, and the money's yours.
00:41:34You'll have no short supply of expensive little trinkets.
00:41:44I would never sell my body.
00:41:48Not for a few coppers.
00:41:50Not for anything.
00:41:51I am a woman of honor.
00:41:55Honor is for people who deserve it, not a lowly whore like you.
00:42:00You don't get to say no.
00:42:13Let me go, please.
00:42:15Hands off of her.
00:42:17Oh, no.
00:42:17You don't get to say no.
00:42:19Let me go, please.
00:42:23Hands off of her.
00:42:26He didn't hurt you, did he?
00:42:27Are you the Duke, sir?
00:42:30Sir, what is the meaning of this?
00:42:33You imbecile!
00:42:35But, sir, you said...
00:42:37Have you no shame acting like this in my manner?
00:42:43Sir, this bitch refused your orders.
00:42:46It is my right as house steward to teach her a lesson.
00:42:53Apologize to her, or I'll have you fired.
00:42:57Apologize, sir, but she's the lowly scullery maid.
00:43:01She was out of line.
00:43:05A lowly maid?
00:43:07Mark my words, she's Duke Arthur's sister.
00:43:14She's his sister?
00:43:16The lowly maid is his sister?
00:43:18Arthur, are you really my brother?
00:43:22My Arthur?
00:43:24Yes, Anna.
00:43:25I've come back to protect you, and mother, and father.
00:43:30Arthur, where have you been all these years?
00:43:33We missed you terribly.
00:43:36There, there.
00:43:38Let me deal with this man first.
00:43:40Once again, Lord Benjamin, your men have shown their true colors.
00:43:50Disgusting and vile.
00:43:52Sir, I failed to discipline them.
00:43:56But yes.
00:43:57Sir, Duke, I was wrong.
00:44:01I would have never treated her like that had I known that she was your sister.
00:44:04Yet you see no issue in treating her this way if she wasn't.
00:44:11Isn't that so?
00:44:14Lowly servants?
00:44:15They're worthless in your eyes, aren't they?
00:44:18Well, Mr. Stewart, you're worthless to me.
00:44:20No.
00:44:21It was Benjamin, the Baron.
00:44:22Lord!
00:44:23He asked me to.
00:44:24No, I didn't.
00:44:25God!
00:44:27Throw him into the dungeon.
00:44:28No!
00:44:28No, please.
00:44:29No, sir.
00:44:31No.
00:44:32No.
00:44:33No.
00:44:33No.
00:44:36Anna, tell me truly.
00:44:38Are you all right?
00:44:40Yes, I am now.
00:44:42Because you're back.
00:44:44And I can't believe it.
00:44:45You're the Duke.
00:44:46Oh, let's go see Mother and Father.
00:44:49They'll be overjoyed.
00:44:50I just know it.
00:44:51Anna, I've already met them.
00:44:53Oh, then you must know the years have been quite hard on them.
00:44:58But it's all worth it.
00:45:00Because you're back.
00:45:01Anna, stay here.
00:45:04I'll bring them here.
00:45:05Okay?
00:45:07Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently of the Moors.
00:45:11John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.
00:45:15Yes, John and I are engaged, but...
00:45:19He's your fiancé, Anna.
00:45:21So I'll love him like a brother.
00:45:23Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.
00:45:26I want to show our parents high society.
00:45:28And invite John Moore.
00:45:31I'll speak to the king.
00:45:32See if he can grant him a noble title.
00:45:34As you wish, Duke Arthur.
00:45:46Is that the Moors' home?
00:45:48Fine place for a merchant family, but...
00:45:50They'll be able to afford better very soon.
00:45:52Well, we're here.
00:45:58The home of our supposed son-in-law.
00:46:00Yeah.
00:46:00You tartaring fool.
00:46:11Why have you come back?
00:46:16John, this is your fiancé's father.
00:46:18You will call me Mr. Moore.
00:46:23And you are nothing to me.
00:46:25John!
00:46:26That's Mr. Moore.
00:46:28Shut up.
00:46:30I'm sorry.
00:46:31Mr. Moore, please, let's talk.
00:46:34And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancé?
00:46:38You've always been poor, but now you're liars, too.
00:46:41Mr. Moore, you know as well as I do.
00:46:44You've been betrothed to Anna for years.
00:46:47Your father and I, we had an arrangement.
00:46:48That may be so.
00:46:50But circumstances have changed.
00:46:52Do you think my father would want me marrying someone that comes from you filthy swine?
00:46:58That's not why we're here today.
00:47:01We're here because...
00:47:02Oh, I know.
00:47:04Money.
00:47:04Isn't that right?
00:47:08Alms for the poor.
00:47:10Now away with you.
00:47:12Mr. Moore.
00:47:13We didn't come here today for money.
00:47:15That's enough.
00:47:17Your breath reeks.
00:47:20Beat some sense into the old caja and take him out of here.
00:47:24I'd like to see you try.
00:47:28I'd like to see you try.
00:47:33Arthur.
00:47:34My boy.
00:47:35They set you free.
00:47:37Rightfully so, Father.
00:47:38Oh, Arthur.
00:47:40It's so good to see you alive and well.
00:47:42Father.
00:47:44Mother.
00:47:46Robert's been punished for what he did to you.
00:47:48You must be the son I keep hearing so much about.
00:47:51Weren't you kidnapped to join the army?
00:47:54Run away, did you?
00:47:56And now you've come here to leech off me?
00:47:59You're John Moore.
00:47:59Now, did I hear you say you wanted to have my father beaten?
00:48:06So what if I did?
00:48:08What's a runt like you going to do about it anyway?
00:48:12Cry?
00:48:13Piss your pants?
00:48:15Say that again.
00:48:15If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister,
00:48:26then you'd be wrong.
00:48:28Let go of me, you dirty dog.
00:48:30Resulting to violence now, are we?
00:48:37Like the lowlife you are.
00:48:40Come on, then.
00:48:42Hit me.
00:48:43And you regret ever being born.
00:48:45You think that can stop me?
00:48:48Who do you think you are?
00:48:49Oh, it's just a peasant.
00:49:00John, my darling, I come bearing good news.
00:49:02Father says the duke has arranged for a banquet at the manor and you're invited.
00:49:07And the duke is going to ask the king to grant you a title.
00:49:10Finally, you can be part of upper society and we can marry.
00:49:12A title?
00:49:13Adela, tell me it's true.
00:49:15I finally have a name to match my wealth.
00:49:17Ah, no one will be able to tell us what to do.
00:49:21No one will be able to say no to us.
00:49:25Of course it's true, John, darling.
00:49:27The duke adores my father.
00:49:28He's the baron, after all.
00:49:30In fact, the duke is at the manor right now.
00:49:34Don't waste your time with these peasants.
00:49:36Let's go, John.
00:49:37Lady Adela, I'm afraid we must deal with these peasants first.
00:49:40As dirty as they are, this is Arthur, honored brother.
00:49:43And now that I'm rich, he wants to force me to marry his sister.
00:49:48What did you say?
00:49:51Oh, I see.
00:49:53You're that boy that was kidnapped as a child.
00:49:56Well then, be gone.
00:49:58We have nothing to give a shameless beggar.
00:50:02Oh, don't touch me, you disgusting man.
00:50:04Don't you know who my father is?
00:50:06Lord Benjamin, evidently.
00:50:08Don't you know?
00:50:10Even your father watches his tongue around me.
00:50:13Ah!
00:50:14Adela!
00:50:15Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.
00:50:19Have you no manners around the rich?
00:50:21You scum.
00:50:23You better beg for forgiveness if you want to live.
00:50:25And what authority do you have over me?
00:50:28And what authority do you have over me?
00:50:30Every authority, peasant scum.
00:50:33My father is the Baron of Stamford.
00:50:36And now that you're all here, let it be known.
00:50:39I am not going to marry Anna.
00:50:42I am to be a noble, so do not let me catch sight of you all again.
00:50:47Going back on your word, John?
00:50:49That's unbecoming of your future title.
00:50:51I think John has made himself clear enough.
00:50:54Get lost, you blood-sucking leech.
00:50:56Leeching off of him?
00:50:57I would never.
00:51:00His money is as vile as his word.
00:51:04No matter.
00:51:06A man like you doesn't deserve my sister anyway.
00:51:10Men, get him.
00:51:13No!
00:51:15Men, get him.
00:51:17No!
00:51:18Arthur, we will tell Anna.
00:51:23But, please, we cannot anger Mr. Moore.
00:51:28He's going to be a noble now.
00:51:30At least your chambermaid of a mother knows how to act in front of men like me.
00:51:35Drop the matter, and I'll let you leave.
00:51:39We'll go.
00:51:43But best you remember,
00:51:45it is the Wellesleys who called off this engagement.
00:51:49Because you, John Moore,
00:51:51are unfit for my sister.
00:51:57John Moore,
00:51:58are unfit for my sister.
00:52:01My word.
00:52:02Unfit.
00:52:03For you.
00:52:05Let's see.
00:52:06Servant, servant, beggar.
00:52:09Oh, you're too funny.
00:52:11Take this as a friendly warning, John.
00:52:14Lest you regret your decision later.
00:52:16I have no mind to regret anything regarding you lot.
00:52:19Now that that's settled,
00:52:21if you ever speak to us again,
00:52:24I will have your legs cut off.
00:52:27Come now.
00:52:28We have a banquet to attend.
00:52:29Oh, that's the Moors for you.
00:52:40Some coin,
00:52:41and they forget everything that we've ever done for them.
00:52:43Oh, Arthur.
00:52:44I wish we had had a better reception for you.
00:52:48Oh, Mother,
00:52:49don't say that, please.
00:52:51I've already arranged something for you.
00:52:52I finally found you.
00:52:54That's cause for celebration.
00:52:55You've arranged something?
00:52:57No.
00:52:58No, I...
00:52:59Please.
00:53:00I hope you haven't spent any coin on us, Arthur.
00:53:03What have you arranged?
00:53:04Just something small at the Baron's Manor.
00:53:06Don't worry, Mother.
00:53:08It's been paid for.
00:53:09At the Baron's Manor?
00:53:10Arthur, we...
00:53:12Haven't you heard the Duke will be there?
00:53:14We can't possibly impose.
00:53:16It's...
00:53:17Like I said, Mother,
00:53:19don't worry.
00:53:20You'll see.
00:53:21I'll see.
00:53:22Lady Adela,
00:53:33this is all very splendid.
00:53:36You must introduce us to the Duke when he arrives.
00:53:39Oh, Mrs. Moore, of course.
00:53:41As the Baron of Stanford,
00:53:42my father is very close to the Duke.
00:53:45It's likely he was the one to recommend John in the first place.
00:53:49Of course, the Duke would love to meet you.
00:53:51I cannot believe it.
00:53:53A noble title.
00:53:55Lady Adela,
00:53:55you are simply full of surprises.
00:53:58You are the best match for John,
00:54:00no doubt about it.
00:54:02I mean to ask, Adela,
00:54:04why would someone like the Duke
00:54:05come to Stanford in the first place?
00:54:07Well, Stanford is his hometown.
00:54:10The King dispatched him here
00:54:11to oversee the building of a new fort.
00:54:14The real reason is his parents.
00:54:17He was separated from them when he was a child.
00:54:19Even this banquet, I hear,
00:54:21is all for them.
00:54:22Must be good, noble people
00:54:24to rear such a fine man like the Duke.
00:54:27We must make a good impression.
00:54:29Mm-hmm.
00:54:30How did those peasants get in?
00:54:50This banquet,
00:54:57I've arranged it all for you.
00:55:00I'll introduce you to everyone shortly.
00:55:03Arthur,
00:55:04don't just,
00:55:05what do you mean for us?
00:55:07Mother,
00:55:08I'm serious.
00:55:10This is all for you.
00:55:12But,
00:55:13how could you have arranged all this?
00:55:15How much money did you spend?
00:55:16money has nothing to do with it, Father.
00:55:19I just want to see you happy.
00:55:21We are happy.
00:55:23Truly happy.
00:55:25We're finally all together again.
00:55:26John,
00:55:31I thought you told them to get lost.
00:55:33Why are they back?
00:55:38John,
00:55:39I thought you told them to get lost.
00:55:41Why are they back?
00:55:42Damn lowlifes.
00:55:44They must have tailed us in.
00:55:46I knew those ill-bred dogs
00:55:48would go away that easily.
00:55:50Scoundrels,
00:55:51all.
00:55:52Mrs. Moore,
00:55:53rest easy.
00:55:55This banquet is held
00:55:56on the Duke's orders,
00:55:57and Father asked me
00:55:59to see that our guests
00:56:00enjoy themselves.
00:56:02I have every authority
00:56:03to throw them out.
00:56:08Come.
00:56:18Who let you in?
00:56:22Who let you in?
00:56:24You must be lost,
00:56:25peasant.
00:56:26This is the Duke's banquet,
00:56:28not the gruel kitchen.
00:56:30I suggest you turn around immediately.
00:56:32And I suggest you shut your mouth.
00:56:35This is my manor.
00:56:37My father is hosting it
00:56:39under direct orders of the Duke.
00:56:41You have no place to speak here.
00:56:44And you,
00:56:46you must be the bitch
00:56:48that John was engaged to.
00:56:50I'll have you know
00:56:51John is going to be a noble.
00:56:53You'll have no way into his home.
00:56:57Unless you'd like to be our maid
00:56:58once we marry.
00:57:01Lowborn as I may be,
00:57:02I'm still more noble
00:57:03than a harlot like you.
00:57:05You wench.
00:57:07I will not let you talk
00:57:08to Lady Adela like this.
00:57:10Apologize right now.
00:57:12I owe her nothing of the sort.
00:57:14She is the one
00:57:14who's courting an engaged man.
00:57:16I told your parents
00:57:18and your disgusting beggar of a brother
00:57:21I called off the engagement.
00:57:24You're not good enough for me.
00:57:26You're wrong.
00:57:27It's you who isn't good enough for me.
00:57:29I would never marry a man
00:57:31with such a fickle heart
00:57:32who would abandon his fiancée
00:57:34just to chase after
00:57:35some harlot's coin.
00:57:40You dirty bitch.
00:57:42That's what you get
00:57:43for talking to my son like that.
00:57:48How dare you
00:57:49raise your hands to my daughter.
00:57:50How dare she insult my son.
00:57:53You're right, mother.
00:57:54We ought to slap some sense into them.
00:57:57Anna, look at yourself.
00:57:59You're nothing
00:57:59compared to Lady Adela.
00:58:01It's no wonder I chose her.
00:58:04Lady Adela
00:58:05is Lord Benjamin's daughter.
00:58:08What do you have
00:58:09that Lady Adela doesn't
00:58:11besides this useless
00:58:13beggar of a brother?
00:58:16Do not insult my brother.
00:58:18He is more noble
00:58:18than any of you.
00:58:27All this dirty work
00:58:28must have done you in.
00:58:29a beggar
00:58:32like him.
00:58:33You lowly peasants.
00:58:35None of you
00:58:35deserve to talk to us.
00:58:37Get out
00:58:38or we'll throw you out
00:58:40with force.
00:58:42Get out
00:58:43or we'll throw you out
00:58:44with force.
00:58:45It is you who ought
00:58:46to be thrown out.
00:58:46Hmm, what a pretty
00:58:53money-sucking
00:58:55leech.
00:58:58I would tell her
00:58:59I am disgusted
00:59:01by the implication.
00:59:03Despite her features,
00:59:05a maid that cleans
00:59:06chamber parts all day
00:59:08is more fit
00:59:08to marry a stable boy.
00:59:10Say that again
00:59:11and I'll make you pay.
00:59:12Oh, no.
00:59:14What are you going to do?
00:59:17Hit me?
00:59:18Well, come on, then.
00:59:20Have at it.
00:59:24Well,
00:59:25I do say I think
00:59:27this was the first time
00:59:28I heard someone
00:59:28ask for it.
00:59:29But
00:59:30I think we all
00:59:32heard him clearly enough.
00:59:33You fill it.
00:59:36You actually...
00:59:36You asked for it.
00:59:38I obliged.
00:59:43Lord Benjamin,
00:59:45the Duke has arrived.
00:59:47He's here already.
00:59:48We have to go.
00:59:50You asked for it.
00:59:51I am to be a noble
00:59:53and you will not
00:59:54offend me again.
00:59:56Why should I care?
00:59:56I'm sure Lord Benjamin
00:59:58would understand.
00:59:59Do not speak
01:00:00my father's name.
01:00:01You're dead.
01:00:02My father will see to it
01:00:03when he arrives.
01:00:04On your knees.
01:00:06And I demand you
01:00:07apologize to John
01:00:08now.
01:00:09And your filthy parents, too.
01:00:11Down!
01:00:12Who do you think
01:00:13you are barking orders at me?
01:00:14Don't think you're
01:00:15so high and mighty
01:00:16just because you
01:00:16followed us in.
01:00:18You've no right
01:00:18to speak to my son
01:00:19or Lady Adela like this.
01:00:21Don't you know
01:00:22how much I suffered
01:00:23being betrothed
01:00:24to your dirty whore
01:00:25of a sister?
01:00:26I will not
01:00:28let you embarrass me again.
01:00:32We've been gracious enough
01:00:33letting the matter go
01:00:34yet you shameless rats
01:00:36won't stop bothering us.
01:00:38Away!
01:00:39Off with you!
01:00:40Oh, Mrs. Moore.
01:00:40I have a much
01:00:41better idea.
01:00:43Let's add a few tears
01:00:45to their teary reunion.
01:00:46Guards!
01:00:51Execute him!
01:00:51No!
01:00:52I want to watch
01:00:54as they lose
01:00:54their precious son
01:00:55again.
01:00:56Oh, Lady Adela,
01:00:59I think if that's the case
01:01:00we ought to keep him alive.
01:01:02He's already
01:01:02a useless beggar.
01:01:04We ought to break his legs
01:01:05and keep him that way.
01:01:07Lisa!
01:01:08Lady Moore!
01:01:09Please!
01:01:10I apologize.
01:01:12I'll have Arthur repent
01:01:13right away!
01:01:13Yes, please.
01:01:15Pardon us.
01:01:16Arthur, please.
01:01:17I beg of you, apologize.
01:01:19Please.
01:01:20You've enough wit
01:01:21to be scared
01:01:22but it's too late.
01:01:24It's not my fault
01:01:25you've been grating
01:01:25on my nerves.
01:01:26I've nothing left
01:01:27for pity.
01:01:28Seems like you have
01:01:29quite a loud bark
01:01:30with no bite now.
01:01:33What did you just
01:01:34say to me?
01:01:36Mother,
01:01:37Father,
01:01:38I already told you
01:01:39this banquet is for you
01:01:40in honor of us
01:01:42all being together again.
01:01:43You have every right
01:01:44to enjoy yourself.
01:01:46And my sister was correct.
01:01:47You ought to apologize
01:01:48for your poor behavior
01:01:49in order to have you
01:01:50thrown out.
01:01:52Soon,
01:01:52you'll be kneeling
01:01:53before us
01:01:54begging for the forgiveness.
01:01:55We have every right
01:01:56to withhold.
01:01:57A pity
01:01:57to have a son
01:01:59like him.
01:02:00Imagine spending
01:02:01ten years
01:02:02to find your son
01:02:03just to have him
01:02:03turn out like this.
01:02:05The real pity
01:02:06is what will be
01:02:06happening to you soon.
01:02:08I think I'll be
01:02:08quite happy
01:02:09in the future.
01:02:11Oh, yes.
01:02:12Happy.
01:02:13Very happy,
01:02:14I imagine,
01:02:15with your legs
01:02:15mangled,
01:02:16crawling on the ground.
01:02:18Oh,
01:02:19and your poor parents.
01:02:21I'm sure they'll be
01:02:21very joyous
01:02:22over such a sight.
01:02:24Seize him!
01:02:25No, no.
01:02:26Please, no.
01:02:28Presenting,
01:02:29the Honorable Lord Benjamin,
01:02:31Baron of Stamford.
01:02:34Oh,
01:02:34you're in for it now.
01:02:36Lord Benjamin
01:02:37is the most powerful
01:02:38man in Stamford,
01:02:39and he's backed
01:02:40by the Duke,
01:02:42whose authority
01:02:42is second only
01:02:43to the King.
01:02:44You poor,
01:02:45poor souls.
01:02:46We'll see what
01:02:47the Duke has to say
01:02:48when he hears about this.
01:02:49I reckon you'll all
01:02:50be beaten to death
01:02:51in the dungeons.
01:02:52Don't waste your breath,
01:02:54madam.
01:02:54A commoner like him
01:02:55can't even fathom
01:02:56the great power
01:02:57the Duke has.
01:02:58Of course,
01:02:59Lady Adela.
01:03:00It'd be an honor
01:03:01for him to lay eyes
01:03:02on the gentlemen
01:03:03before he crushes them
01:03:05like the rats
01:03:05they are.
01:03:06Oh,
01:03:07no.
01:03:08I can't wait.
01:03:10How unfortunate
01:03:11it had to come to this.
01:03:12Yes.
01:03:13How unfortunate
01:03:14it is
01:03:14for you.
01:03:16Lord Benjamin
01:03:17is my father,
01:03:18and once I tell him
01:03:20what you've done
01:03:20to me
01:03:21and my dear John,
01:03:23he'll have you
01:03:23all beheaded.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26Oh,
01:03:27how lucky it is
01:03:28to be so simple-minded.
01:03:30You,
01:03:31half-dead caudges,
01:03:33and you,
01:03:34harlot.
01:03:35Ha.
01:03:36Any last words?
01:03:39No teary goodbyes?
01:03:41Or,
01:03:42do you wish
01:03:42to die with him?
01:03:43John,
01:03:44please.
01:03:45Arthur was just impulsive.
01:03:46Please put in
01:03:47a good word for him.
01:03:48Get your dirty hands
01:03:49off of me.
01:03:50You scoundrel!
01:03:51I'll do it again.
01:03:57You scoundrel!
01:03:58I'll do it again.
01:04:01John!
01:04:02My darling boy!
01:04:04How dare you!
01:04:05Touch my parents again,
01:04:06and your family will pay.
01:04:08Let it be known,
01:04:09this night was meant
01:04:10to be a joyous one,
01:04:11and I did not wish
01:04:12to taint it
01:04:12with strife
01:04:13and bloodshed.
01:04:14I would have let you go,
01:04:16as awful as your behavior
01:04:17was to me,
01:04:18but you insulted
01:04:19my virtuous sister
01:04:20and raised your hand
01:04:21to my saintly mother
01:04:22and father.
01:04:24Your actions beg
01:04:25for punishment,
01:04:25and I am happy
01:04:26to see to it.
01:04:29Let it be known,
01:04:30I plan to exile
01:04:31the Moor family
01:04:32from the good town
01:04:33of Stamford.
01:04:37Oh, you've gone mad.
01:04:39Truly mad.
01:04:41Lady Adela,
01:04:42have your men
01:04:43restrain him
01:04:43for the safety
01:04:44of your guests
01:04:45and have him
01:04:46flogged in the dungeon.
01:04:47What's this again
01:04:51about the dungeons?
01:04:55Lord Benjamin,
01:04:56you've finally come.
01:04:57My lord,
01:04:58we've been troubled
01:04:59so by these lowly peasants.
01:05:01Father, it's them.
01:05:02I say we take them
01:05:03to the dungeons.
01:05:08This is the Duke's banquet,
01:05:10Adela.
01:05:11I will not tolerate
01:05:12your antics.
01:05:14Pardon me, father.
01:05:15It seems I've been lax.
01:05:17For these lowly,
01:05:18dirty servants
01:05:19have snuck in.
01:05:21Lowly,
01:05:21dirty servants?
01:05:25Yes, father.
01:05:27The mister and missus
01:05:28are servants
01:05:29and so is the daughter.
01:05:30And he's a beggar.
01:05:32A vile,
01:05:33disgusting man.
01:05:35Perhaps we could
01:05:36send them away
01:05:36with some scraps
01:05:37from the kitchens.
01:05:38I dare say it'd be better
01:05:39than anything
01:05:40they've ever tasted.
01:05:41Oh, father,
01:05:42please allow me
01:05:42to see it.
01:05:43I'll have their bones
01:05:44broken and left out
01:05:45for the dogs
01:05:46for disturbing
01:05:47the Duke's banquet.
01:05:49Silence!
01:05:51But, Lord Benjamin,
01:05:52why?
01:05:54Duke of Mercia,
01:05:56Arthur.
01:05:57Your grace,
01:05:58at your service.
01:06:01Failed in his grace,
01:06:02the Duke,
01:06:03Arthur.
01:06:03Lord Benjamin,
01:06:25I was promised
01:06:27a warm welcome.
01:06:28What is all of this?
01:06:29I'll see to it,
01:06:31your grace.
01:06:32My boy.
01:06:34What do the parents say?
01:06:35Is it Duke Arthur
01:06:36that he just called you?
01:06:38What?
01:06:40Sir,
01:06:41madam,
01:06:43please.
01:06:45Benjamin,
01:06:46at your service.
01:06:47I don't understand.
01:06:49Are you really?
01:06:50Yes,
01:06:50yes,
01:06:50father.
01:06:54I'm the Duke.
01:06:55My boy.
01:06:57The Duke.
01:06:59That's my son.
01:07:00That's my son.
01:07:01He's a Duke.
01:07:03What did I say?
01:07:04My brother is more noble
01:07:06than anyone.
01:07:08Lord Benjamin,
01:07:09are you certain
01:07:10he's the Duke?
01:07:12Father,
01:07:13you said the Duke
01:07:15was a great man.
01:07:16He must be mistaken.
01:07:17You stupid girl.
01:07:21How could I be wrong?
01:07:23And you,
01:07:24you ought to be ashamed.
01:07:26How dare you do this
01:07:27to his grace,
01:07:28Duke Arthur?
01:07:29No,
01:07:30it can't be.
01:07:32Father,
01:07:32tell me it's a joke.
01:07:33It simply can't be.
01:07:35Get on your knees,
01:07:36girl,
01:07:37and maybe he'll forgive you.
01:07:41No.
01:07:42You said that the Duke
01:07:43was going to give John
01:07:43a title.
01:07:44Why would John
01:07:45call off the engagement
01:07:45to his sister?
01:07:48Ah!
01:07:49Maybe this will get
01:07:50through your thick skull.
01:07:52He is the Duke,
01:07:53the one and only.
01:07:56Guards,
01:07:56take her away
01:07:57until she's learned
01:07:58her lesson.
01:08:02Guards,
01:08:03take her away
01:08:04until she's learned
01:08:05her lesson.
01:08:06No!
01:08:08Father,
01:08:08no,
01:08:09it can't be,
01:08:09it can't be the Duke!
01:08:10He simply can't be!
01:08:15Your Grace,
01:08:16I must apologize.
01:08:18That's enough!
01:08:19Your family has played
01:08:20your hand for it.
01:08:21Duke Arthur,
01:08:22sir.
01:08:24Why,
01:08:24certainly.
01:08:25My son is still engaged
01:08:27to the Wellesley's daughter.
01:08:28Our connection
01:08:29is nothing to scoff at.
01:08:31Mother,
01:08:32my brother-in-law,
01:08:33a Duke,
01:08:34will be even richer.
01:08:35My brother-in-law,
01:08:39a Duke,
01:08:40will be even richer.
01:08:42We'll be set for life.
01:08:44Oh,
01:08:44married to the sister
01:08:45of the Duke.
01:08:46Oh, goodness!
01:08:47That must be why
01:08:48you want to give me
01:08:49a noble title,
01:08:50so I can marry Anna.
01:08:52Anna,
01:08:53can you believe it?
01:08:55Your brother,
01:08:56a Duke.
01:08:56What does that
01:08:57have to do with you?
01:08:58It has everything
01:08:59to do with me,
01:09:00darling.
01:09:00You're my fiancé,
01:09:02remember?
01:09:03Don't forget about me
01:09:04just because your brother's
01:09:05a Duke now.
01:09:05You are truly
01:09:06shameless,
01:09:08John.
01:09:08Don't be like that,
01:09:09my dear,
01:09:10darling fiancé.
01:09:11Fiancé,
01:09:11have you forgotten
01:09:13what you just called me?
01:09:14A dirty whore?
01:09:17Only fit to
01:09:17wait as tableboy,
01:09:19isn't that right?
01:09:20Oh, Anna,
01:09:21forgive him,
01:09:21would you?
01:09:22A pettiness
01:09:23doesn't suit
01:09:24a pretty face
01:09:25like yours.
01:09:26Women like us,
01:09:27we ought to understand
01:09:28our husband's temperaments.
01:09:31My sister,
01:09:33petty,
01:09:33that's rich
01:09:34coming from you.
01:09:35Oh,
01:09:36Duke Arthur,
01:09:37my brother,
01:09:38I must apologize
01:09:39for what I said.
01:09:40I'll apologize
01:09:42to Anna.
01:09:42There is no need.
01:09:44I have no wish
01:09:45to hear anything
01:09:45further from you.
01:09:47The woman has spoken,
01:09:48John.
01:09:49It seems my sister
01:09:50disdains
01:09:51your vile habits.
01:09:52Anna,
01:09:53this is all my fault.
01:09:55We grew up together,
01:09:56didn't we?
01:09:57I loved you.
01:09:59I did.
01:10:00This has all been
01:10:00a big misunderstanding,
01:10:01of course.
01:10:02I'm sure you can
01:10:03forgive me.
01:10:04Please,
01:10:05give me another chance.
01:10:07Yes, dear,
01:10:08just a misunderstanding.
01:10:10Let's put it
01:10:11all behind us
01:10:12now,
01:10:13shall we?
01:10:14Yeah.
01:10:16Forgive you!
01:10:17I don't think I will.
01:10:19It would be a sin
01:10:20to forget
01:10:20what you've done
01:10:21to my mother
01:10:21and father.
01:10:22My brother's title
01:10:23has nothing
01:10:24to do with you.
01:10:25I wish for you
01:10:26to be gone
01:10:27and never come back.
01:10:29Anna,
01:10:31forgive me.
01:10:35You're better than this.
01:10:38Please,
01:10:39forgive me.
01:10:40You're better than this.
01:10:44Leave my sister alone,
01:10:46scum.
01:10:46Your apology
01:10:47means nothing.
01:10:48Please,
01:10:49your grace,
01:10:50Duke Arthur.
01:10:51It's all my fault.
01:10:52I've wronged you.
01:10:53I admit it.
01:10:54I beg your pardon.
01:10:56Mr. Wesley,
01:10:58Madam,
01:10:59please ask Arthur
01:11:01to show us mercy.
01:11:02I was betrothed to Anna.
01:11:05I've shown her
01:11:05much kindness.
01:11:07Mother,
01:11:08please ask him
01:11:09to forgive me.
01:11:10I cannot live
01:11:11without Anna.
01:11:13Jane,
01:11:13please.
01:11:14I even got you
01:11:15the job
01:11:16at the Baron's Manor.
01:11:17Are you going
01:11:17to be so cruel
01:11:18as to forget
01:11:19everything I've done
01:11:20for you
01:11:21that John's done
01:11:22for you?
01:11:23A bit of compassion
01:11:24for an old friend?
01:11:26Yes,
01:11:27Mr. Wesley,
01:11:28please.
01:11:29I'll do anything
01:11:29for her.
01:11:30I'll give her
01:11:31whatever she wants.
01:11:32If you just
01:11:33please forgive
01:11:34my one transgression.
01:11:37How dare you
01:11:38ask for compassion?
01:11:42How dare you
01:11:44ask for compassion?
01:11:45Have you shown
01:11:46any compassion
01:11:46to my father?
01:11:48To my mother?
01:11:49Those ten
01:11:50long years
01:11:51I was gone.
01:11:51Did you help
01:11:52them at all?
01:11:53Did you give
01:11:53them any aid?
01:11:55You speak of them
01:11:56as an old friend
01:11:57as if they
01:11:58have ever forsaken
01:11:59you.
01:12:00But you,
01:12:01had I not been
01:12:02announced as the Duke,
01:12:03you would have
01:12:03kicked them to the
01:12:04ground and spit
01:12:05on their bodies.
01:12:06You called off
01:12:07my sister's engagement
01:12:08for the first
01:12:08noble lady you saw.
01:12:10You do not
01:12:11deserve my mercy.
01:12:12Duke,
01:12:14Arthur,
01:12:15I...
01:12:15Silence!
01:12:16I've seen you
01:12:17at your worst.
01:12:18I've seen how
01:12:19you treated me.
01:12:20My father,
01:12:21my mother,
01:12:22Anna.
01:12:23You are a shameless,
01:12:25filthy villain.
01:12:27Be gone!
