00:00:00May God bless us and keep us together as one family.
00:00:04My son Arthur is taken by the Baron to the war.
00:00:07We must find him.
00:00:09Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia.
00:00:12I've returned to find my family.
00:00:13The Duke is coming.
00:00:14This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:00:19Your son is not coming back.
00:00:23Because he's dead.
00:00:25It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:00:27I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:00:30He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:00:32Your land has been seen.
00:00:33What?
00:00:34No, this is our family home.
00:00:36Sign it, now.
00:00:37No.
00:00:38Stop it.
00:00:41Your son was taken, you say?
00:00:43Could this be me?
00:00:44My memories are faint, cladded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:00:48Say goodbye to your son.
00:00:50That woman.
00:00:51Possibly the Duke is my Arthur.
00:00:57Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:01:04Every man must stand and fight.
00:01:08No.
00:01:09No.
00:01:10No.
00:01:10No.
00:01:11Please.
00:01:12Please.
00:01:13I don't want to go to war.
00:01:15Spare me!
00:01:18I'm scared, Arthur.
00:01:20Will they take you and Papa away, too?
00:01:23No, they won't.
00:01:26Okay?
00:01:27I got something for both of you.
00:01:31I had these blessed by the church today.
00:01:34This one is for you, Arthur.
00:01:39And this one, Anna, is for you.
00:01:42May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:01:49Thank you, Mom.
00:01:52I love you.
00:01:55Mama?
00:01:56Yes?
00:01:57My belly hurts.
00:01:58I think I need to go potty.
00:02:01I see.
00:02:03Yes, I...
00:02:04Wait, Mama.
00:02:05It's Papa's birthday today.
00:02:07I was wondering if I could have some coins so I could get a little, little bit of beef.
00:02:13Just a little bit.
00:02:14I'm sorry, but we can't afford beef.
00:02:25Maybe we could have a chicken.
00:02:27Your favorite chicken pie.
00:02:29Huzzah!
00:02:30Thank you, Mom.
00:02:31I love you.
00:02:33I love you.
00:02:34Bye!
00:02:38Bye!
00:02:39Bye!
00:02:39Bye!
00:02:44Every man must stand and fight.
00:02:59Take him.
00:03:01Stop!
00:03:02No, I'm only 13!
00:03:03Let me go!
00:03:04Mama!
00:03:05Mama!
00:03:05Martha!
00:03:10Arthur!
00:03:13Arthur should be here by now.
00:03:16Where is he?
00:03:19Arthur!
00:03:19Arthur!
00:03:31Mama!
00:03:32Mama!
00:03:35Wait.
00:03:48What?
00:03:49Look.
00:03:51What?
00:03:52Have you seen my son?
00:03:54Have you seen Arthur?
00:03:56The baronsmen took him.
00:03:58What?
00:03:58They're marching him to the border.
00:04:00They're sending him to war.
00:04:01No.
00:04:02No.
00:04:03No.
00:04:04No.
00:04:04Oh!
00:04:05Here.
00:04:16Kate!
00:04:17You're hurt!
00:04:19Girl.
00:04:20They took him.
00:04:22We have to get him.
00:04:23He's only 13.
00:04:24He wants to arrive on the battlefield.
00:04:27Let's go.
00:04:28He...
00:04:29No?
00:04:30You seen a boy?
00:04:31You seen Arthur?
00:04:31You seen our son?
00:04:32Right here with soldier people.
00:04:35Hey.
00:04:36Are you soldiers of the baron?
00:04:37Have you seen a boy?
00:04:38A strong lad.
00:04:39Brown hair.
00:04:40About this tall?
00:04:41The boy we took from the market, is it?
00:04:43Yes.
00:04:44Yes.
00:04:44Yes.
00:04:45Yes.
00:04:45That's him.
00:04:46Where is he?
00:04:47Your boy is either dead or going to be soon.
00:04:49He can't be.
00:04:50You're lying.
00:04:51Away with you, woman.
00:04:52Give me back my son.
00:04:53The law says that no boy should be conscripted unless he's 16 years old.
00:04:57Arthur's 13.
00:04:59Please.
00:05:04If you didn't want him gone, you should have kept him at home.
00:05:07You have no one to blame but yourself.
00:05:10It's all my fault I killed him.
00:05:13I should never have let him go to the butchers by himself.
00:05:15It's...
00:05:16Shut up, wench.
00:05:17Or I'll make you join him real soon.
00:05:22Comet, now.
00:05:23Foolish as they are.
00:05:24We can't just kill as we wish.
00:05:26Comet boy from filth like you?
00:05:30He was doomed from the moment he met us.
00:05:37He's right.
00:05:39I saw my fault.
00:05:41He shouldn't have let him alone.
00:05:42You mustn't do this to yourself.
00:05:44We will bring our boy home.
00:05:47Arthur.
00:05:51Where are you?
00:05:52John?
00:05:54No!
00:05:55No!
00:06:04No!
00:06:07No!
00:06:09No!
00:06:10No!
00:06:12No!
00:06:14No!
00:06:15I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:06:31Your Majesty, nothing escapes you.
00:06:34Nothing does escape me, which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford.
00:06:39You'll oversee the building of a new fort to strengthen our borders.
00:06:43The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.
00:06:48But your Majesty, my duty as a duke is to protect...
00:06:50Go, go.
00:06:53Go, my boy.
00:06:56You fought enough battles for me and did a great service to the kingdom of Mercia.
00:07:03This is why I gave you the title of Duke.
00:07:07Go back to Stamford.
00:07:10Find your family.
00:07:11They would be so proud to see the man you've become.
00:07:16And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?
00:07:22I won't let you down, sir.
00:07:24I miss you.
00:07:33Oh, Robert, my sweet nephew, here.
00:07:37All my wages.
00:07:40I'm depending on you.
00:07:42You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin.
00:07:46I beg of you.
00:07:47Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive.
00:07:52I'll look into it, but not today.
00:07:55The duke is coming to Stamford.
00:07:57Everything has to be perfect.
00:07:59The duke is coming.
00:08:02Robert, maybe you can ask the duke to help me find my son.
00:08:06I've heard that the duke is a great knight in battle, so perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with his necklace.
00:08:12Maybe he knows my Arthur.
00:08:14Have you lost your wits?
00:08:17Ask the duke for help.
00:08:19Who do you think you are?
00:08:20Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the duke for such trifles.
00:08:25Robert, please just have him take a look.
00:08:27It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:08:42Don't blame other people for your own negligence.
00:08:44It is my fault.
00:08:45I should have never let him out of my sight.
00:08:47I regret it every single day.
00:08:50But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages, you would help me find my son.
00:08:55I told you, not today.
00:08:59The duke could be here any second.
00:09:02Get lost before he sees your ugly face.
00:09:08The duke is here.
00:09:10Go.
00:09:10Get.
00:09:21That's the duke.
00:09:23He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.
00:09:25A king treats me like a son.
00:09:28A king treats me like a son.
00:09:55Presenting his 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.
00:10:31You are too kind, your grace.
00:10:33I've returned to find my family.
00:10:35Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:10:38I shall have them brought here at once.
00:10:40My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:10:43But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.
00:10:52May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:10:58Could this be me?
00:11:09Find who this belongs to.
00:11:10I 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,
00:11:38then there's a chance that possibly the duke is my author.
00:11:45Don't be stupid.
00:11:47This is the duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:11:51How could a man like that be your son?
00:11:54Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:11:57Stop being delusional.
00:12:01No.
00:12:03I must see the duke.
00:12:05Have you lost your mind?
00:12:17I 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.
00:12:46What were you thinking?
00:12:52Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:12:56Robert just became butler.
00:12:58I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:13:01I swear that was my son.
00:13:03That was Arthur.
00:13:04You have truly gone mad.
00:13:07That 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...
00:13:20Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:13:26Calling the duke your son?
00:13:28What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:13:31Please.
00:13:32Just let me speak to him.
00:13:34Let me show him this.
00:13:48Robert!
00:13:48Robert, don't.
00:13:52Not while the duke is here.
00:13:54Robert!
00:13:56What are you doing to my mother?
00:13:58Anna.
00:14:00Give me that back.
00:14:02I needed to find Arthur.
00:14:03Worthless piece of junk.
00:14:05Robert, we're family.
00:14:07We're supposed to help each other.
00:14:10But you're fun.
00:14:11Family?
00:14:12It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:14:16My son has risen up through the ranks, while yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:14:23It's pathetic, really.
00:14:25I know, but I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur, and you...
00:14:31You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:14:36You never even thought to look for him.
00:14:38You liar!
00:14:40You cheat!
00:14:41Give me back my coin!
00:14:43Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:14:46In this, say goodbye to your son.
00:14:49Mother!
00:14:57Mother!
00:14:58Mother, no!
00:15:02I don't get excited!
00:15:04Mother, no!
00:15:05Oh!
00:15:06No!
00:15:07Oh!
00:15:07Oh!
00:15:08Come, Mother.
00:15:09Let's go.
00:15:12Oh, Anna.
00:15:13What have I done?
00:15:14We'll never be able to find Arthur enough with this.
00:15:17It's all right.
00:15:17It's all right, Mother. Have you forgotten? I carry one, too.
00:15:24Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur, I'll see what I can do.
00:15:39Arthur, my brother, could it really be you?
00:15:47Your Grace, my lord.
00:16:08Forgive me, Your Grace!
00:16:12Useless girl!
00:16:15Your Grace, are you alright?
00:16:17I'm fine with Benjamin.
00:16:19No need to punish her for a simple mistake.
00:16:22Your kindness humbles us all.
00:16:25Well, don't just sit there.
00:16:28Clean yourself up!
00:16:32Why does she seem so familiar?
00:16:35It seems that I have someone the Duke might want.
00:16:38What?
00:16:41How could Robert do this to you?
00:16:45He beat you.
00:16:47You're his aunt for crying out loud.
00:16:50Oh, Carl.
00:16:51You know your family has always been cruel to us.
00:16:54It's only gonna get worse now that Robert is butler to the Baron.
00:17:01Mother?
00:17:03Father?
00:17:05This place is so familiar to me.
00:17:07This place is so familiar to me.
00:17:09And it's strategic.
00:17:12I'll build the new fort here.
00:17:14See to it that all the families along this road are asked to leave.
00:17:17And compensate them well.
00:17:18I will start the process right away.
00:17:27Mother!
00:17:29What did the Duke say?
00:17:30Did he...
00:17:35Mother, what?
00:17:36I don't think the Duke is our Arthur.
00:17:40No.
00:17:42He does...
00:17:43He does resemble him, yes, but...
00:17:45He didn't recognize the necklace.
00:17:47No.
00:17:50I'm so sorry.
00:17:52I thought it was him.
00:17:54I wanted to come back and give you the necklace.
00:17:57I know at least you'll sleep easier, knowing this is by your side.
00:18:03Thank you, Hannah.
00:18:06Oh!
00:18:11Oh!
00:18:12Your Grace!
00:18:13I dare say, you look as handsome as ever.
00:18:16These clothes are much more comfortable.
00:18:24Leave me.
00:18:25I wish to explore the city by myself.
00:18:27See if anything can jog my memory.
00:18:29Yes, Your Grace.
00:18:37Oh, it must be Anna. She must have forgot something.
00:18:42Anna?
00:18:44Oh.
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:50Ugh.
00:18:52What are you all doing here?
00:18:54Especially after what you did to my wife.
00:18:56Long time no see, brother.
00:18:58Still living in this hovel, huh?
00:19:00Would you like some...
00:19:02Some bread?
00:19:03We were just about to sit down for lunch.
00:19:05So I can offer you a fresh loaf.
00:19:07You call this food?
00:19:08Food?
00:19:09The Baron's dogs wouldn't eat this.
00:19:17But fortune favors the undeserving.
00:19:20Now you'll be able to buy some real food.
00:19:24What do you mean, Laura?
00:19:25Tell them, Robert.
00:19:35It 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.
00:19:46To bolster our defenses.
00:19:48The order came directly from the Duke himself.
00:19:50No.
00:19:51You will be well compensated for the trouble.
00:19:55What?
00:19:56Just sign here and you'll receive 20 gold pieces.
00:20:01As your brother, I should be entitled to half.
00:20:04But as you have no son, and I have a son, I ought to take two thirds.
00:20:09What?
00:20:10No, this is our family home.
00:20:12No.
00:20:14If 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 coin.
00:20:19Not for nothing.
00:20:20Then you are dafter than I thought.
00:20:22Let me remind you, your son is not coming back because he's dead.
00:20:29No.
00:20:30No, no, no.
00:20:31You hold your tongue.
00:20:32Arthur will return.
00:20:33And we will remain here until he does.
00:20:35We won't give up hope.
00:20:36Not for any penny coin.
00:20:37You don't get a say.
00:20:40The order comes from above.
00:20:41Enough of this insolence.
00:20:42Leave my house at once.
00:20:43Leave my house.
00:20:44Carl.
00:20:48Carl.
00:20:49You're right.
00:20:50We are family.
00:20:51We are supposed to support each other.
00:20:52And if you can't do that, then leave.
00:20:53Then you've chosen death.
00:20:54So be it.
00:20:55This place really does feel so familiar.
00:21:02What?
00:21:03Ah!
00:21:04What are you doing?
00:21:05Ah!
00:21:06I'll tell you this one last time.
00:21:07Sign a damn contract or I'll beat you to death.
00:21:09You are his brother.
00:21:10How can you do this to him?
00:21:11No man as useless as him deserves to be my brother.
00:21:16Oh!
00:21:17Ah!
00:21:18You're a monster.
00:21:19Sign it.
00:21:20Now.
00:21:21No.
00:21:22No.
00:21:23No.
00:21:24Fuck.
00:21:25Ah!
00:21:26Ah!
00:21:27Ah!
00:21:28Ah!
00:21:29Ah!
00:21:30Ah!
00:21:31You're a monster.
00:21:32Sign it.
00:21:33Now.
00:21:34No.
00:21:35No.
00:21:36No.
00:21:37Ah!
00:21:38Ah!
00:21:39Ah!
00:21:40Ah.
00:21:41Ah!
00:21:42Ah!
00:21:43Ah!
00:21:44Ah!
00:21:45Ah!
00:21:47Stop it!
00:22:00Stop it! That's an order!
00:22:04What's a peasant like you doing here?
00:22:07Cross me, and I'll beat you up too.
00:22:09You know who my son works for? The Baron!
00:22:11We're here to seize this land off his orders.
00:22:13So you better stay out of our affairs.
00:22:16So you're the Baron's henchman.
00:22:18I told him to see that every family is compensated fairly.
00:22:22And this is how you choose to do it?
00:22:31Good folks, you have my word.
00:22:33I will make this matter right.
00:22:35Lord Benjamin requests your land to build a new fort.
00:22:38But we will provide whatever is necessary for you.
00:22:41Do you know the Baron?
00:22:43Could you plead to him on our behalf, please?
00:22:45All we ask is that we remain here. We cannot leave our home, please.
00:22:49Rest assured, you'll be well compensated if you choose to depart.
00:22:54No, we don't want coin!
00:22:56This is my son's home.
00:22:58If it's torn down, he will never find his way home.
00:23:01Your son was taken, you say?
00:23:03Yes.
00:23:04He was only 13 years old.
00:23:06Taken far too young, conscripted by the Baron's soldiers.
00:23:09If we leave, he'll never find his way back.
00:23:14Please.
00:23:16Please, I beg of you.
00:23:21He's pinned.
00:23:22Yes.
00:23:23It was a token.
00:23:24A promise that my children and I would always be family together.
00:23:28This one is for you, Arthur.
00:23:35What?
00:23:37Mother.
00:23:38Arthur.
00:23:39Oh, is it you?
00:23:43It's me, Mom.
00:23:57I've come home.
00:23:59My boy.
00:24:0110 long years.
00:24:03We searched for you and finally you came back to us.
00:24:08I'm sorry.
00:24:10I've been a bad son.
00:24:12but I promise I will give you the life you deserve from here on out. Please forgive me.
00:24:26Can we stop with the theatrics?
00:24:28Ten years have passed and cousin Arthur returns as a peasant.
00:24:33I'd cry too if this were my son.
00:24:35Laura and George, do you see? Arthur has come home.
00:24:38What's there to cheer for? A beggar for a son?
00:24:41Or a thief, more likely. Look at him, wandering around, starving and desperate.
00:24:49I don't care what you say, but my son has come home and he is everything to me.
00:24:55Let's go inside and I will make your favorite roast. And George and Laura,
00:25:00I would prefer if you left. We would like to celebrate alone as a family.
00:25:05We're not leaving until you sign the contract, you useless fool!
00:25:12No, Robert, Shirley, you understand. You're family. We'd like to celebrate.
00:25:17This low life doesn't deserve anything.
00:25:23I'm done arguing with you at this pigsty. Don't you point your finger at me. I could do much worse.
00:25:30Or do you want me to get my fiance so you can beg for her forgiveness instead?
00:25:33Remember, I'm engaged to the prestigious Lady Edith. If she finds out about this, you'll all get a
00:25:41good beating. This is a joyous day and I do not wish to spend it squabbling with you,
00:25:56milk. Kneel before us, apologize, and be gone.
00:26:05You son of a whore. I'm the Baron's butler, the highest on his staff.
00:26:11You think I kneel to a common maid? You better show your respect.
00:26:22Now will you go?
00:26:23You scum! I'll have you know just how much I am worth. Inform Lady Edith. Ask her to come, won't you?
00:26:31Yes, Mr. Wellesley.
00:26:32Well, well, well. You fools have chosen not to take the gold, but it was the Baron's orders.
00:26:38Your hovel must come down.
00:26:41Lord Benjamin's orders, was it?
00:26:43That's Baron Stamford to you.
00:26:45On the contrary, I think I can call him Benjamin just fine.
00:26:51Are you mad? Who do you think you are? The Duke?
00:26:55Pulling rank like you're anything special.
00:26:59I dare say I'm special enough that even Lord Benjamin would kneel before me.
00:27:03What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:27:09Lord Benjamin, sir. The Duke has dismissed his guards and gone on a stroll.
00:27:14Where to?
00:27:15Around where the families are being asked to relocate, sir.
00:27:18What? Well, I hope he doesn't run into the Wellesleys.
00:27:21Guards, come with me.
00:27:25What's that I hear about the Baron?
00:27:29Did I just hear someone disrespecting my cousin, the Baron of Stamford?
00:27:38I tried to pay these lowlifes with gold, but they refused to leave their pigsty, and their son even hit me.
00:27:48You scumbag. How dare you lay your dirty hands on my fiancé?
00:27:55Do you know who I am?
00:27:57Why would I care who you are?
00:27:59He hit my parents, so I hit him back. Sounds fair to me.
00:28:03You are in the town of Stamford, my cousin's jurisdiction, and Robert is his head butler.
00:28:10You'll pay for what you've done.
00:28:11Bring him to the dungeons.
00:28:13No.
00:28:14No.
00:28:15I'll teach him a lesson.
00:28:16No, no, no, no, please don't.
00:28:17No, no, no, please don't.
00:28:18Please don't.
00:28:20Lord Benjamin's cousin.
00:28:22Is this how he taught you to behave?
00:28:23Oh, I didn't expect a lowly peasant like you to know who my cousin is.
00:28:29Don't tell me he's spoken to you before.
00:28:31Of course. In fact, why don't you ask him who I am?
00:28:35That's enough. Guards, seize him.
00:28:37No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:28:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:28:40Don't take him!
00:28:41No!
00:28:41Please, he just came back!
00:28:42No!
00:28:42Please don't!
00:28:44Let go of me.
00:28:45This is your last chance.
00:28:47Seize me, and you'll have to face the consequences of your crime.
00:28:50As if I'd fear anything from a runt like you.
00:28:53I could kill you right now if I wanted to.
00:28:56Kill me.
00:28:57No.
00:28:57Is that right?
00:28:58No.

00:52:49oh arthur i wish we had a better reception for you oh mother don't say that please i've already
00:52:57arranged something for you i finally found you that's cause for celebration you've arranged something
00:53:03no no i please i hope you haven't spent any coin on us arthur what have you arranged just something
00:53:11small at the baron's manor don't worry mother it's been paid for but the baron's manor arthur we
00:53:18haven't you heard the duke will be there we can't possibly impose it's like i said mother
00:53:24don't worry you'll see lady adela this is all very splendid you must introduce us to the duke when he
00:53:44arrives oh mrs moore of course as the baron of stanford my father is very close to the duke
00:53:51it's likely he was the one to recommend john in the first place of course the duke would love to
00:53:57meet you i cannot believe it a noble title lady adela you are simply full of surprises you are the
00:54:04best match for john no doubt about it how do you mean to ask adela why would someone like the duke
00:54:11come to stanford in the first place why stanford is his hometown the king dispatched him here to
00:54:18oversee the building of a new fort the real reason is his parents he was separated from them when he was
00:54:24a child even this banquet i hear is all for them must be good noble people to rear such a fine man like
00:54:32the duke we must make a good impression
