The Lost Son Returns As The Duke
Transcript
00:00:00May God bless us and keep us together as one family.
00:00:04My son Arthur is taken by the Baron to the war.
00:00:07We must find him.
00:00:09Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:00:12I've returned to find my family.
00:00:13The Duke is coming.
00:00:14This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:00:19Your son is not coming back.
00:00:23Because he's dead.
00:00:25It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:00:27I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:00:30He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:00:32Your land has been sealed.
00:00:33What?
00:00:34No, this is our family home.
00:00:36Sign it, now.
00:00:37No.
00:00:38Stop it.
00:00:41Your son was taken, you say?
00:00:43Could this be me?
00:00:44My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:00:48Say goodbye to your son.
00:00:50That woman.
00:00:51Possibly the Duke is my Arthur.
00:00:57Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:01:04Every man must stand and fight.
00:01:08No.
00:01:09No.
00:01:10No.
00:01:10No.
00:01:11Please.
00:01:12Please.
00:01:13I don't want to go to war.
00:01:15Spare me.
00:01:18I'm scared, Arthur.
00:01:20Will they take you and Papa away, too?
00:01:23No, they won't.
00:01:26Okay?
00:01:27I got something for both of you.
00:01:31I had these blessed by the church today.
00:01:34This one is for you, Arthur.
00:01:39And this one, Anna, is for you.
00:01:42May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:01:49Thank you, Mom.
00:01:50I love you.
00:01:55Mama?
00:01:56Yes?
00:01:57My belly hurts.

00:02:07I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef.
00:02:13Just a little bit.
00:02:14Okay.
00:02:20I'm sorry, but we can't afford beef.
00:02:25Maybe we could have a chicken.
00:02:27Your favorite chicken pie.

00:09:55you
00:09:56the
00:10:02Presenting as Grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:10:14Welcome, Your Grace.
00:10:16Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:10:19We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?
00:10:22Your Grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.
00:10:26I beg for your forgiveness.
00:10:28It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.
00:10:30You are too kind, Your Grace.
00:10:33I've returned to find my family.
00:10:35Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:10:38I shall have them brought here at once.
00:10:40My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:10:45But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.
00:10:52May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:11:00Could this be me?
00:11:09Find who this belongs to.
00:11:11I will see to this personally.
00:11:15Mom, where are you?
00:11:18The Duke of Mercia has come to the baron's manor.
00:11:25The king must hold him in high regard.
00:11:28They say he's looking for his family.
00:11:30Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:11:33Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family, then there's a chance.
00:11:40Then possibly the Duke is my author.
00:11:42Don't be stupid.
00:11:47This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:11:52How could a man like that be your son?
00:11:54Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:11:57Stop being delusional.
00:12:01No.
00:12:02I must see the Duke.
00:12:05Have you lost your mind?
00:12:07I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:12:27Did someone call my name just now?
00:12:40Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:12:43No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.
00:12:49What were you thinking?
00:12:53Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:12:56Robert just became butler.
00:12:58I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:13:01I swear that was my son.
00:13:03That was Arthur.
00:13:04You have truly gone mad.
00:13:07That was the Duke.
00:13:08The second most important man in the entire kingdom.
00:13:12How could a man of such standing be your son?
00:13:17He looked just like him.
00:13:19I swear that...
00:13:21Ow!
00:13:22Ow!
00:13:23Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:13:25Calling the Duke your son.
00:13:28What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:13:31Please.
00:13:32Just let me speak to him.
00:13:34Let me show him this.
00:13:43Ow!
00:13:48Robert!
00:13:48Robert!
00:13:48Don't!
00:13:51Not while the Duke is here.
00:13:54Robert!
00:13:56What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:58Anna.
00:14:00Give me that back.
00:14:02I needed to find Arthur.
00:14:03Worthless piece of junk.
00:14:05Robert.
00:14:06We're family.
00:14:07We're supposed to help each other.
00:14:10But you're fun.
00:14:11Family?
00:14:13It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:14:16My son has risen up through the ranks.
00:14:19While yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:14:23It's pathetic, really.
00:14:25I know, but I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.
00:14:30And you...
00:14:31You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:14:36You never even thought to look for him.
00:14:38You liar!
00:14:40You cheat!
00:14:41Give me back my coin!
00:14:43Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:14:46And this?
00:14:48Say goodbye to your son.
00:14:54No!
00:14:54No!
00:14:57Mother, no!
00:14:59Come, Mother.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:12Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:15:14We'll never be able to find Arthur.
00:15:16Not with this.
00:15:17It's all right, Mother.
00:15:18Have you forgotten?
00:15:19I carry one, too.
00:15:22Oh, Anna.
00:15:24Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,
00:15:27I'll see what I can do.
00:15:39Arthur, my brother,
00:15:41could it really be you?
00:15:47Your Grace,
00:15:48my Lord.
00:15:50Oh, oh, oh, forgive me, Your Grace.
00:16:12Useless girl!
00:16:13Well, Your Grace, are you all right?
00:16:17I'm fine, Lord Benjamin.
00:16:19No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:16:22Your kindness humbles us all.
00:16:25Well, don't just sit there.
00:16:28Free yourself up!
00:16:32Why does she seem so familiar?
00:16:35Seems that I have someone who the Duke might want.
00:16:39How could Robert do this to you?
00:16:45He beat you.
00:16:48You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:16:50Oh, Carl.
00:16:52You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:16:56It's only going to get worse
00:16:57now that Robert is butler to the baron.
00:17:02Mother?
00:17:03Father?
00:17:04This place is so familiar to me
00:17:08and it's strategic.
00:17:12I'll build a new fort here.
00:17:14See to it that all the families along this road
00:17:16are asked to leave
00:17:17and compensate them well.
00:17:19I will start the process right away.
00:17:28Father?
00:17:29What did the Duke say?
00:17:31Did he...
00:17:32Mother?
00:17:36What?
00:17:37I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:17:40No.
00:17:41He does...
00:17:42He does resemble him, yes,
00:17:44but he didn't recognize the necklace.
00:17:47No.
00:17:50I'm so sorry.
00:17:52I thought I was him.
00:17:54I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.
00:17:57I know at least you'll sleep easier
00:17:59knowing this is by your side.
00:18:11Oh, your grace.
00:18:13I dare say you look as handsome as ever.
00:18:16These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:18:21Leave me.
00:18:25I wish to explore the city by myself.
00:18:27See if anything can jog my memory.
00:18:29Yes, your grace.
00:18:30Oh, it must be Anna.
00:18:40She must have forgot something.
00:18:43Anna?
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:47What are you all doing here?
00:18:54Especially after what you did to my wife.
00:18:56Long time no see, brother.
00:18:57Still living in this hovel, huh?
00:19:00Would you like some bread?
00:19:02We were just about to sit down for lunch,
00:19:05so I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:19:07You call this food?
00:19:09The baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.
00:19:17But fortune favors the undeserving.
00:19:21Now you'll be able to buy some real food.
00:19:24What do you mean, Laura?
00:19:26Tell them, Robert.
00:19:27It really is a shack.
00:19:37But luckily, it'll be gone soon.
00:19:40Your land has been seized.
00:19:42This entire street will be dug up to make way for the new fort.
00:19:45No.
00:19:45To bolster our defenses.
00:19:48The order came directly from the Duke himself.
00:19:50No.
00:19:51But you will be well compensated for the trouble.
00:19:55What?
00:19:56Just sign here, and you'll receive 20 gold pieces.
00:20:01As your brother, I should be entitled to half.
00:20:05But as you have no son, and I have a son,
00:20:08I ought to take two-thirds.
00:20:09What?
00:20:10No, this is our family home.
00:20:12No.
00:20:13If Arthur returns, how will he find his way home?
00:20:16She's right.
00:20:17We won't give up our land.
00:20:18Not for 20 gold coins.
00:20:19Not for nothing.
00:20:20Then you are dafter than I thought.
00:20:22Let me remind you, your son is not coming back because he's dead.
00:20:29No.
00:20:30No, no, no.
00:20:31You hold your tongue.
00:20:32Arthur will return.
00:20:33And we will remain here until he does.
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:36We won't give up hope.
00:20:36Not for any penny coin.
00:20:38You don't get a say.
00:20:40The order comes from above.
00:20:42Enough of this insolence.
00:20:43Leave my house at once.
00:20:44Leave my house.
00:20:45Carl.
00:20:48Carl.
00:20:50Carl, are you all right?
00:20:53We are family.
00:20:55We are supposed to support each other,
00:20:57and if you can't do that, then leave.
00:20:58Then you've chosen death.
00:21:00So be it.
00:21:01This place really does feel so familiar.
00:21:11What?
00:21:12What are you doing?
00:21:18I'll tell you this one last time.
00:21:21Sign a damn contract, or I'll beat you to death.
00:21:23You are his brother.
00:21:25How can you do this to him?
00:21:26No man as useless as him deserves to be my brother.
00:21:29Sign it, now.
00:21:35No.
00:21:37No.

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