Transcript
00:00:00Once upon a time, the Kingdom of Mercia is at war.
00:00:05Every man must stand and fight.
00:00:08No! No! No! No! Please! Please!
00:00:13I don't want to go to war! Spare me!
00:00:19I'm scared, Arthur. Will they take you and Papa away, too?
00:00:24No, they won't. Okay?
00:00:26I got something for both of you. I had these blessed by the church today.
00:00:34This one is for you, Arthur.
00:00:39And this one, Anna, is for you.
00:00:43May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.

00:04:44we will bring our boy home arthur
00:04:48where are you
00:05:02I have a feeling I know why you're here.
00:05:30Your Majesty, nothing escapes you.
00:05:34Nothing does escape me.
00:05:36Which is why I've already sent word out to Stamford.
00:05:39You'll oversee the building of a new fort to strengthen our borders.
00:05:44The Baron of Stamford will host you until the completion of the project.
00:05:48But your Majesty, my duty as a duke is to protect-
00:05:50Go, go.
00:05:53Go, my boy.
00:05:56You've fought enough battles for me and did a great service to the kingdom of Mercia.
00:06:03This is why I gave you the title of duke.
00:06:08Go back to Stamford.
00:06:10Find your family.
00:06:12They would be so proud to see the man you've become.
00:06:16And while you're at it, build me that castle, eh?
00:06:23I won't let you down, sir.
00:06:25I miss you.
00:06:32Robert, my sweet nephew.
00:06:36Here.
00:06:37All my wages.
00:06:39I'm depending on you.
00:06:42You work for the Baron now, so please help me find your cousin.
00:06:46I beg of you.
00:06:48Aunt Jane, my connections are expensive.
00:06:52I'll look into it, but not today.
00:06:55The duke is coming to Stamford.
00:06:57Everything has to be perfect.
00:06:59The duke is coming.
00:07:01Robert, maybe you can ask the duke to help me find my son.
00:07:06I've heard that the duke is a great knight in battle,
00:07:08so perhaps you could ask him to see if he recognizes this boy with this necklace.
00:07:12Maybe he knows my Arthur.
00:07:14Have you lost your wits?
00:07:17Ask the duke for help.
00:07:19Who do you think you are?
00:07:21Even the Baron wouldn't dare trouble the duke for such trifles.
00:07:25Robert, please just have him take a look.
00:07:39It's your own fault you lost your son.
00:07:42Don't blame other people for your own negligence.
00:07:45It is my fault.
00:07:46I should have never let him out of my sight.
00:07:48I regret it every single day.
00:07:50But you promised that if I gave you all of my wages, you would help me find my son.
00:07:56I told you not today.
00:07:59The duke could be here any second.
00:08:02Get lost before he sees your ugly face.
00:08:06The duke is here.
00:08:08Go!
00:08:09Get!
00:08:10That's the duke.
00:08:11He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.
00:08:13The king treats him like a son.
00:08:15That's the duke.
00:08:16That's the duke.
00:08:17He's the one that defeated the five kingdoms.
00:08:22The king treats him like a son.
00:08:25The five kingdoms, the king treats him like a sock.
00:08:55Presenting his grace, the Duke of Mercia!
00:09:11Welcome, Your Grace.
00:09:16Lord Benjamin, there's no need for such formalities.
00:09:19We've known each other for a decade now, have we not?
00:09:22Your Grace, it was I who was sending you to the battlefield.
00:09:26I beg for your forgiveness.
00:09:28It was on the battlefield that I earned my honor.
00:09:31You are too kind, Your Grace.
00:09:33I've returned to find my family.
00:09:35Well, please tell me who they are and where they reside.
00:09:38I shall have them brought here at once.
00:09:40My memories are faint, clouded by the injury I sustained during the war.
00:09:45But my mother, she wore a pendant like this.
00:09:52May God bless us and guide us and keep us together as one family.
00:10:07Could this be me?
00:10:08Find who this belongs to.
00:10:10I will see to this personally.
00:10:15Mom, where are you?
00:10:21The Duke of Mercia has come to the Baron's Manor.
00:10:25The king must hold him in high regard.
00:10:28They say he's looking for his family.
00:10:30Who could be so lucky as to be the Duke's relative?
00:10:33Pardon to interrupt, but if he's here visiting his family, then there's a chance that possibly the Duke is my Arthur.
00:10:46Don't be stupid.
00:10:47This is the Duke, second in authority only to the king.
00:10:52How could a man like that be your son?
00:10:54Your son probably died on the battlefield.
00:10:57Stop being delusional.
00:11:00No.
00:11:02I must see the Duke.
00:11:05Have you lost your mind?
00:11:07I just want to make sure he's my Arthur.
00:11:27Did someone call my name just now?
00:11:40Your Grace, it's probably just the wind playing tricks.
00:11:43No one here would dare to speak your name so boldly.
00:11:48What were you thinking?
00:11:53Your actions will bring my family down with you.
00:11:56Robert just became butler.
00:11:58I won't have you ruining things for him.
00:12:01I swear that was my son, that was Arthur.
00:12:05You have truly gone mad.
00:12:07That was the Duke.
00:12:09The second most important man in the entire kingdom.
00:12:12How could a man of such standing be your son?
00:12:17He looked just like him.
00:12:20I swear that...
00:12:23Do you mean to get us all hung?
00:12:26Calling the Duke your son?
00:12:28What an insult to that fine gentleman.
00:12:31Please, just let me speak to him.
00:12:34Let me show him this.
00:12:47Robert!
00:12:48Robert!
00:12:51Robert!
00:12:52Don't!
00:12:53Not while the Duke is here.
00:12:55Robert!
00:12:57What are you doing to my mother?
00:12:59Anna!
00:13:01Give me that back I needed to find Arthur.
00:13:04Worthless piece of junk.
00:13:06Robert, we're family.
00:13:08We're supposed to help each other.
00:13:10You've got your own family.
00:13:13It's bad enough that we share the same blood.
00:13:16My son has risen up through the ranks.
00:13:19While yours only grows poorer and poorer.
00:13:23It's pathetic, really.
00:13:25I know, but I gave all of my wages so that you could find Arthur.
00:13:30And you...
00:13:32You never even planned to find Arthur.
00:13:36You never even thought to look for him.
00:13:39You liar!
00:13:40You cheat!
00:13:41Give me back my coin!
00:13:43Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
00:13:47In this, say goodbye to your son.
00:13:54No!
00:13:58Mother, no!
00:14:04Mother, no!
00:14:09Come, Mother.
00:14:10Let's go.
00:14:13Oh, Anna, what have I done?
00:14:15We'll never be able to find Arthur.
00:14:17Not with this.
00:14:18It's all right.
00:14:19It's all right, Mother.
00:14:20Have you forgotten?
00:14:21I carry one, too.
00:14:23Oh, Anna.
00:14:25Now, if you truly believe the Duke might be our Arthur,
00:14:28I'll see what I can do.
00:14:30Arthur, my brother.
00:14:31Could it really be you?
00:14:32Arthur, my brother.
00:14:33Could it really be you?
00:14:34Your grace.

00:34:55Let me live.
00:34:57We are from the same family, Duke Arthur.
00:35:01I don't want to die.
00:35:04Young Arthur, my son had just become butler.
00:35:07He's only just delivered us from the clutches of poverty.
00:35:11Please, we adore him so.
00:35:13You must kill him or exile him.
00:35:17Please, I beg you, as your uncle, as your father's own brother.
00:35:22Oh, you're too cruel, Arthur.
00:35:25How can you do this to another Wellesley?
00:35:32Cruelty?
00:35:33Have you forgotten your cruelty to mother and father?
00:35:36Threatening to leave them homeless and laughing in their face when they begged you?
00:35:40Have you forgotten what you've done to my parents?
00:35:43Your own brother and cousin Robert.
00:35:48What happened to making me see the consequences of my actions?
00:35:51Did you pity your poor cousin then?
00:35:54I've seen you for what you are.
00:35:56Shameless and wretched scum.
00:35:59You are unfit to live.
00:36:02Have them dealt with and think about what you've done.
00:36:07You're meant to be noble.
00:36:09Not only in your actions, but in your name.
00:36:11See that your people behave.
00:36:13Or I'll have your title removed.
00:36:16I will see to them personally.
00:36:19Oh, please.
00:36:20Oh, sir.
00:36:21Please.
00:36:22Robert deceived me.

00:52:49oh mrs moore of course
00:52:51as the baron of stanford my father is very close to the duke
00:52:55it's likely he was the one to recommend john in the first place
00:52:59of course the duke would love to meet you
00:53:02i cannot believe it a noble title
00:53:05lady adela you are simply full of surprises
00:53:08you are the best match for john no doubt about it
00:53:11i mean to ask adela
00:53:14why would someone like the duke and stanford in the first place
00:53:17west stanford is his hometown
00:53:19the king dispatched him here to oversee the building of a new fort
00:53:24the real reason is his parents
00:53:26he was separated from them when he was a child
