00:44:07But it's all worth it, because you're back.
00:44:11Anna, stay here. I'll bring them here, okay?
00:44:16Duke Arthur, I believe that your parents are currently of the Moors.
00:44:20John Moore has been engaged to your sister for some time.
00:44:24Yes, John and I are engaged, but...
00:44:28He's your fiancƩ, Anna, so I'll love him like a brother.
00:44:32Lord Benjamin, arrange a feast for tonight.
00:44:35I want to show our parents high society and invite John Moore.
00:44:40I'll speak to the king, see if he can grant him a noble title.
00:44:46As you wish, Duke Arthur.
00:44:54Is that the Moors' home?
00:44:57A fine place for a merchant family, but they'll be able to afford better very soon.
00:45:05Well, we're here.
00:45:07The home of our supposed side-in-law.
00:45:09Yeah.
00:45:10You tottering fool.
00:45:20No!
00:45:21Why have you come back?
00:45:25John, this is your fiancƩ's father.
00:45:28No!
00:45:29You will call me Mr. Moore.
00:45:33And you are nothing to me.
00:45:35John!
00:45:35That's Mr. Moore.
00:45:38Shut up.
00:45:39I'm sorry.
00:45:41Mr. Moore.
00:45:42Please, let's talk.
00:45:43And what is this about me being your daughter's fiancƩ?
00:45:47You've always been poor, but now you're liars, too.
00:45:51Mr. Moore, you know as well as I do.
00:45:53You've been betrothed to Anna for years.
00:45:56Your father and I, we had an arrangement.
00:45:58That may be so.
00:45:59But circumstances have changed.
00:46:01Do you think my father would want me marrying someone that comes from you filthy swine?
00:46:08That's not why we're here today.
00:46:10We're here because...
00:46:12Oh, I know.
00:46:13Money.
00:46:14Isn't that right?
00:46:17Alms for the poor.
00:46:20Now away with you.
00:46:22Mr. Moore, we didn't come here today for money.
00:46:25That's enough!
00:46:26Your breath reeks.
00:46:27Reeks, beat some sense into the old Kaja and take him out of here.
00:46:34I'd like to see you try.
00:46:37I'd like to see you try.
00:46:43Arthur, my boy, they set you free.
00:46:47Rightfully so, father.
00:46:48Oh, Arthur.
00:46:49It's so good to see you alive and well.
00:46:52Father, mother, Robert's been punished for what he did to you.
00:46:58You must be the son I keep hearing so much about.
00:47:01Weren't you kidnapped to join the army?
00:47:04Run away, did you?
00:47:06And now you've come here to leech off me?
00:47:08You're John Moore.
00:47:11Now, did I hear you say you wanted to have my father beaten?
00:47:15So what if I did?
00:47:18What's a runt like you gonna do about it anyway?
00:47:21Cry?
00:47:22Piss your pants?
00:47:24Say that again.
00:47:25If you think I'm going to take it easy on you because you're engaged to my sister,
00:47:35then you'd be wrong.
00:47:38Let go of me, you dirty dog.
00:47:45Resulting to violence now, are we?
00:47:47Like the lowlife you are.
00:47:49Come on, then.
00:47:51Hit me.
00:47:53And you regret ever being born.
00:47:55You think that can stop me?
00:47:57Who do you think you are?
00:48:07Oh, it's just a peasant.
00:48:09John, my darling, I come bearing good news.
00:48:12Father says the duke has arranged for a banquet at the manor and you're invited.
00:48:16And the duke is going to ask the king to grant you a title.
00:48:20Finally, you can be part of upper society and we can marry.
00:48:22A title?
00:48:23Adela, tell me it's true.
00:48:25I finally have a name to match my wealth.
00:48:28No one will be able to tell us what to do.
00:48:31No one will be able to say no to us.
00:48:32Of course, it's true, John, darling.
00:48:37The duke adores my father.
00:48:38He's the baron, after all.
00:48:40In fact, the duke is at the manor right now.
00:48:44Don't waste your time with these peasants.
00:48:46Let's go, John.
00:48:47Lady Adela, I'm afraid we must deal with these peasants first.
00:48:50As dirty as they are, this is Arthur.
00:48:53Honored brother.
00:48:54And now that I'm rich, he wants to force me to marry his sister.
00:48:58What did you say?
00:48:59Hmm.
00:49:01Oh, I see.
00:49:03You're that boy that was kidnapped as a child.
00:49:06Well then, be gone.
00:49:08We have nothing to give a shameless beggar.
00:49:12Oh, don't touch me, you disgusting man.
00:49:14Don't you know who my father is?
00:49:16Lord Benjamin, evidently.
00:49:18Don't you know?
00:49:20Even your father watches his tongue around me.
00:49:23Ah!
00:49:23Adela.
00:49:25Oh, I can't believe I've been touched by a dirty beggar.
00:49:29How do you know manners and on the rich?
00:49:31You scum.
00:49:33You better beg for forgiveness if you want to live.
00:49:35And what authority do you have over me?
00:49:38And what authority do you have over me?
00:49:40Every authority, peasant scum.
00:49:42My father is the Baron of Stamford.
00:49:46And now that you're all here, let it be known.
00:49:49I am not going to marry Anna.
00:49:52I am to be a noble, so do not let me catch sight of you all again.
00:49:55Going back on your word, John?
00:49:59That's unbecoming of your future title.
00:50:01I think John has made himself clear enough.
00:50:04Get lost, you blood-sucking leech.
00:50:06Leeching off of him?
00:50:08I would never.
00:50:10His money is as vile as his word.
00:50:14No matter.
00:50:15A man like you doesn't deserve my sister anyway.
00:50:20Men, get him.
00:50:23No!
00:50:25Men, get him.
00:50:27No!
00:50:30Arthur, we will tell Anna.
00:50:33But, please, we cannot anger Mr. Moore.
00:50:38He's going to be a noble man.
00:50:40At least your chambermaid of a mother knows how to act in front of men like me.
00:50:45Drop the matter, and I'll let you leave.
00:50:49Amen.
00:50:51We'll go.
00:50:53But best you remember,
00:50:55it is the Wellesleys who called off this engagement.
00:50:59Because you, John Moore,
00:51:02are unfit for my sister.
00:51:04John Moore,
00:51:08are unfit for my sister.
00:51:11My word.
00:51:13Unfit.
00:51:14For you.
00:51:15Let's see.
00:51:16Servant,
00:51:17servant,
00:51:18beggar.
00:51:19Oh, you're too funny.
00:51:21Take this as a friendly warning, John.
00:51:24Lest you regret your decision later.
00:51:26I've no mind to regret anything regarding you lot.
00:51:29Now that that's settled,
00:51:31if you ever speak to us again,
00:51:34I will have your legs cut off.
00:51:37Come now.
00:51:38We have a banquet to attend.
00:51:48Oh, that's the Moors for you.
00:51:50Some coin,
00:51:51and they forget everything that we've ever done for them.
00:51:54Oh, Arthur.
00:51:55I wish we had had a better reception for you.
00:51:59Oh, Mother, don't say that, please.
00:52:01I've already arranged something for you.
00:52:02I finally found you.
00:52:04That's cause for celebration.
00:52:06You've arranged something?
00:52:07No.
00:52:08No, I...
00:52:09Please.
00:52:10I hope you haven't spent any coin on us, Arthur.
00:52:13What have you arranged?
00:52:15Just something small at the Baron's Manor.
00:52:17Don't worry, Mother.
00:52:18It's been paid for.
00:52:20At the Baron's Manor?
00:52:21Arthur, Arthur, we...
00:52:22Haven't you heard the Duke will be there?
00:52:24We can't possibly impose.
00:52:26It's...
00:52:27Like I said, Mother,
00:52:29don't worry.
00:52:31You'll see.
00:52:32Oh.
00:52:33Lady Adela,
00:52:44this is all very splendid.
00:52:46You must introduce us to the Duke when he arrives.
00:52:49Oh, Mrs. Moore, of course.
00:52:52As the Baron of Stanford,
00:52:53my father is very close to the Duke.
00:52:56It'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.
00:53:03A noble title.
00:53:05Lady Adela,
00:53:06you are simply full of surprises.
00:53:08You are the best match for John,
00:53:10no doubt about it.
00:53:12I mean to ask, Adela,
00:53:14why would someone like the Duke
00:53:16come to Stanford in the first place?
00:53:18Well, Stanford is his hometown.
00:53:20The King dispatched him here
00:53:22to oversee the building of a new fort.
00:53:25The real reason is his parents.
00:53:26He was separated from them when he was a child.
00:53:30Even this banquet, I hear, is all for them.
00:53:33Must be good, noble people
00:53:35to rear such a fine man like the Duke.
00:53:37We must make a good impression.
00:53:39Mm-hmm.
00:53:40How did those peasants get in?
00:54:07This banquet.
00:54:08I've arranged it all for you.
00:54:11I'll introduce you to everyone shortly.
00:54:13Arthur,
00:54:14don't just...
00:54:16What do you mean for us?
00:54:18Mother,
00:54:19I'm serious.
00:54:21This is all for you.
00:54:23But...
00:54:23How could you have arranged all this?
00:54:26How much money did you spend?
00:54:28Money has nothing to do with it, Father.
00:54:30I just want to see you happy.
00:54:32We are happy.
00:54:33Truly happy.
00:54:34We're finally all together again.
00:54:42John, I thought you told them to get lost.
00:54:44Why are they back?
00:54:49John, I thought you told them to get lost.
00:54:52Why are they back?
00:54:53Damn lowlives.
00:54:55They must have tailed us in.
00:54:56I knew those ill-bred dogs would go away that easily.
00:55:01Scoundrels all.
00:55:02Mrs. Moore,
00:55:04rest easy.
00:55:06This banquet is held on the Duke's orders,
00:55:09and Father asked me to see that our guests enjoy themselves.
00:55:13I have every authority to throw them out.
00:55:18Come.
00:55:19Who let you in?
00:55:33Who let you in?
00:55:35You must be lost, peasant.
00:55:37This is the Duke's banquet,
00:55:39not the gruel kitchen.
00:55:41I suggest you turn around immediately.
00:55:43And I suggest you shut your mouth.
00:55:46This is my manor.
00:55:47My father is hosting it
00:55:50under direct orders of the Duke.
00:55:52You have no place to speak here.
00:55:55And you?
00:55:57You must be the bitch that John was engaged to.
00:56:00I'll have you know,
00:56:02John is going to be a noble.
00:56:05You'll have no way into his home.
00:56:07Unless you'd like to be our maid once we marry.
00:56:12Lowborn as I may be,
00:56:13I'm still more noble than a harlot like you.
00:56:16You wench.
00:56:18I will not let you talk to Lady Adela like this.
00:56:21Apologize right now.
00:56:23I owe her nothing of the sort.
00:56:25She is the one who's courting an engaged man.
00:56:27I told your parents,
00:56:30and your disgusting beggar of a brother,
00:56:32I called off the engagement.
00:56:35You're not good enough for me.
00:56:37You're wrong.
00:56:38It's you who isn't good enough for me.
00:56:40I would never marry a man with such a fickle heart
00:56:43who would abandon his fiancƩe
00:56:45just to chase after some harlot's coin.
00:56:51You dirty bitch.
00:56:53That's what you get for talking to my son like that.
00:56:55How dare you raise your hands to my daughter?
00:57:01How dare she insult my son?
00:57:04You're right, mother.
00:57:05We ought to slap some sense into them.
00:57:08Anna, look at yourself.
00:57:10You're nothing compared to Lady Adela.
00:57:13It's no wonder I chose her.
00:57:15Lady Adela is Lord Benjamin's daughter.
00:57:18What do you have that Lady Adela doesn't?
00:57:23Besides this useless beggar of a brother.
00:57:27Do not insult my brother.
00:57:29He is more noble than any of you.
00:57:38All this dirty work must have done you in.
00:57:42A beggar like him.
00:57:44You lowly peasants.
00:57:46None of you deserve to talk to us.
00:57:48Get out or we'll throw you out with force.
00:57:53Get out or we'll throw you out with force.
00:57:56It is you who ought to be thrown out.
00:58:03Hmm.
00:58:04What a pretty money-sucking leech.
00:58:09I would tell her I'm disgusted by the implication.
00:58:13Despite her features, a maid that cleans chamber parts all day is more fit to marry a stable boy.
00:58:21Say that again and I'll make you pay.
00:58:23Oh, no.
00:58:26What are you going to do?
00:58:28Hit me?
00:58:30Well, come on, then.
00:58:31Have at it.
00:58:35Well, I do say I think this was the first time I heard someone ask for it.
00:58:41But I think we all heard him clearly enough.
00:58:44Lord Benjamin, the duke has arrived.
00:58:58He's here already.
00:59:00We have to go.
00:59:01You asked for it.
00:59:02I am to be a noble, and you will not offend me again.
00:59:07Why should I care?
00:59:08I'm sure Lord Benjamin would understand.
00:59:10Do not speak my father's name.
00:59:12You're dead.
00:59:14My father will see to it when he arrives.
00:59:16On your knees.
00:59:17And I demand you apologize to John now.
00:59:20And your filthy parents, too.
00:59:23Down!
00:59:23Who do you think you are barking orders at me?
00:59:25Don't think you're so high and mighty just because you followed us in.
00:59:29You've no right to speak to my son or Lady Adela like this.
00:59:32Don't you know how much I suffered being betrothed to your dirty whore of a sister?
00:59:38I will not let you embarrass me again.
00:59:43We've been gracious enough letting the matter go, yet you shameless rats won't stop bothering us.
00:59:49Away.
00:59:50Off with you.
00:59:51Oh, Mrs. Moore.
00:59:52I have a much better idea.
00:59:55Let's add a few tears to their teary reunion.
00:59:58Guards!
00:59:59Execute him!
01:00:03No!
01:00:04I want to watch as they lose their precious son.
01:00:07Again.
01:00:09Oh, Lady Adela, I think if that's the case, we ought to keep him alive.
01:00:13He's already a useless beggar.
01:00:16We ought to break his legs and keep him that way.
01:00:18Lisa!
01:00:19Lady Moore!
01:00:20Please!
01:00:21I apologize.
01:00:23I'll have Arthur repent right away!
01:00:25Yes, please.
01:00:26Pardon us.
01:00:27Arthur.
01:00:27Please, I beg of you, apologize.
01:00:30Please.
01:00:32You've enough wit to be scared, but it's too late.
01:00:35It's not my fault you've been grating on my nerves.
01:00:38I've nothing left for pity.
01:00:40Seems like you have quite a loud bark with no bite now.
01:00:43What did you just say to me?
01:00:48Mother, father, I already told you, this banquet is for you.
01:00:53In honor of us all being together again, you have every right to enjoy yourself.
01:00:57And my sister was correct.
01:00:59You ought to apologize for your poor behavior in order to have you thrown out.
01:01:02Soon, you'll be kneeling before us, begging for the forgiveness.
01:01:07We have every right to withhold.
01:01:08A pity to have a son like him.
01:01:12Imagine spending ten years to find your son, just to have him turn out like this.
01:01:16The real pity is what will be happening to you soon.
01:01:18I think I'll be quite happy in the future.
01:01:22Oh, yes.
01:01:24Happy.
01:01:25Very happy, I imagine, with your legs mangled, crawling on the ground.
01:01:30Oh, and your poor parents.
01:01:32I'm sure they'll be very joyous over such a sight.
01:01:36Seize them!
01:01:37No, no, please no!
01:01:39Presenting, the Honorable Lord Benjamin, Baron of Stamford.
01:01:45Oh, you're in for it now.
01:01:48Lord Benjamin is the most powerful man in Stamford.
01:01:51And he's backed by the Duke, whose authority is second only to the King.
01:01:56You poor, poor souls.
01:01:58We'll see what the Duke has to say when he hears about this.
01:02:01I reckon you'll all be beaten to death in the dungeons.
01:02:04Don't waste your breath, madam.
01:02:06A commoner like him can't even fathom the great power the Duke has.
01:02:10Of course, Lady Adela.
01:02:12It'd be an honor for him to lay eyes on the gentlemen
01:02:14before he crushes them like the rats they are.
01:02:18Oh, no.
01:02:20I can't wait.
01:02:22How unfortunate it had to come to this.
01:02:24Yes, how unfortunate it is for you.
01:02:28Lord Benjamin is my father.
01:02:30And once I tell him what you've done to me and my dear John,
01:02:34he'll have you all beheaded.
01:02:37No.
01:02:38Oh, how lucky it is to be so simple-minded.
01:02:42You, half-dead cauders.
01:02:45And you, harlot.
01:02:48Any last words?
01:02:50No teary goodbyes?
01:02:52Or do you wish to die with him?
01:02:55John, please.
01:02:57Arthur was just impulsive.
01:02:58Please put in a good word for him.
01:03:00Get your dirty hands off of me!
01:03:02You scoundrel!
01:03:03I'll do it again!
01:03:08You scoundrel!
01:03:10I'll do it again!
01:03:13John!
01:03:14My darling boy!
01:03:15How dare you!
01:03:17Touch my parents again, and your family will pay.
01:03:20Let it be known, this night was meant to be a joyous one,
01:03:23and I did not wish to taint it with strife and bloodshed.
01:03:26I would have let you go, as awful as your behavior was to me,
01:03:30but you insulted my virtuous sister
01:03:32and raised your hand to my saintly mother and father!
01:03:34Your actions beg for punishment, and I am happy to see to them.
01:03:41Let it be known,
01:03:42I plan to exile the Moore family from the good town of Stamford.
01:03:49Oh, you've gone mad.
01:03:51Truly mad.
01:03:53Lady Adela, have your men restrain him for the safety of your guests,
01:03:57and have him flogged in the dungeon.
01:04:02What's this again about the dungeons?
01:04:04Lord Benjamin, you've finally come.
01:04:09My lord, we've been troubled so by these lowly peasants.
01:04:12Father, it's them.
01:04:14I say we take them to the dungeons.
01:04:20This is the Duke's banquet, Adela.
01:04:23I will not tolerate your antics.
01:04:26Pardon me, Father.
01:04:27It seems I've been lax,
01:04:29for these lowly, dirty servants have snuck in.
01:04:32Lowly, dirty servants?
01:04:34Yes, Father.
01:04:39The Mr. and Mrs. are servants, and so is the daughter.
01:04:42And he's a beggar.
01:04:44A vile, disgusting man.
01:04:47Perhaps we could send them away with some scraps from the kitchens.
01:04:50I dare say be better than anything they've ever tasted.
01:04:53Oh, Father, please allow me to see it.
01:04:55I'll have their bones broken and left out for the dogs for disturbing the Duke's banquet.
01:05:00Silence!
01:05:03But Lord Benjamin, why?
01:05:06Duke of Mercia, Arthur.
01:05:09Your grace.
01:05:10At your service.
01:05:13Failed in his grace.
01:05:14The Duke, Arthur.
01:05:15Lord Benjamin, I was promised a warm welcome.
01:05:40What is all of this?
01:05:41I'll see to it, your grace.
01:05:44My boy.
01:05:46What do the parents say?
01:05:47Is it Duke Arthur that he just called you?
01:05:50What?
01:05:52Sir.
01:05:53Madam.
01:05:55Please.
01:05:56Benjamin.
01:05:58At your service.
01:05:59I don't understand.
01:06:01Are you really?
01:06:02Yes, Father.
01:06:04What?
01:06:04I'm the Duke.
01:06:07My book?
01:06:09The Duke?
01:06:10That's my son.
01:06:12That's my son.
01:06:13He's a Duke.
01:06:15What did I say?
01:06:16My brother is more noble than anyone.
01:06:20Lord Benjamin, are you certain he's the Duke?
01:06:24Father.
01:06:26You said the Duke was a great man.
01:06:28You must be mistaken.
01:06:30You stupid girl.
01:06:32How could I be wrong?
01:06:35And you?
01:06:36You ought to be ashamed.
01:06:38How dare you do this to his grace, Duke Arthur?
01:06:41No.
01:06:42It can't be.
01:06:44Father, tell me it's a joke.
01:06:45It simply can't be.
01:06:47Get on your knees, girl.
01:06:49And maybe he'll forgive you.
01:06:53No.
01:06:54You said that the Duke was going to give John a title.
01:06:56Why would John call off the engagement to his sister?
01:06:58Father, I...
01:07:00Maybe this will get through your thick skull.
01:07:04He is the Duke.
01:07:05The one and only.
01:07:08Guards, take her away until she's learned her lesson.
01:07:14Guards, take her away until she's learned her lesson.
01:07:18No.
01:07:20Father, no.
01:07:21He can't be.
01:07:21He can't be the Duke.
01:07:22He simply can't be.
01:07:24Your Grace, I must apologize.
01:07:30That's enough.
01:07:31Your family has played your hand for it.
01:07:34Duke Arthur, sir.
01:07:36Why, certainly.
01:07:37My son is still engaged to the Wellesley's daughter.
01:07:40Our connection is nothing to stop at.
01:07:43Mother, my brother-in-law, a Duke, will be even richer.
01:07:47My brother-in-law, a Duke, will be even richer.
01:07:54Will be set for life.
01:07:56Oh, married to the sister of the Duke.
01:07:58Oh, goodness.
01:08:00That must be why he wanted to give me a noble title.
01:08:03So I can marry Anna.
01:08:05Anna.
01:08:06Can you believe it?
01:08:07Your brother, a Duke.
01:08:09What does that have to do with you?
01:08:10It has everything to do with me, darling.
01:08:13You're my fiancƩ, remember?
01:08:14Don't forget about me just because your brother's a Duke now.
01:08:18You are truly shameless, John.
01:08:21Don't be like that, my dear, darling fiancƩ.
01:08:23FiancƩ, have you forgotten what you just called me?
01:08:27A dirty whore?
01:08:29Only fit to wet his table boy.
01:08:31Isn't that right?
01:08:32Oh, Anna, forgive him, would you?
01:08:35A pettiness that doesn't suit a pretty face like yours.
01:08:38Women like us, we ought to understand our husband's temperaments.
01:08:42My sister, Petty, has rich coming from you.
01:08:48Oh, Duke Arthur, my brother.
01:08:51I must apologize for what I said.
01:08:53I'll apologize to Anna.
01:08:55There is no need.
01:08:56I have no wish to hear anything further from you.
01:08:59The woman has spoken, John.
01:09:01It seems my sister disdains your vile habits.
01:09:05Anna, this is all my fault.
01:09:07We grew up together, didn't we?
01:09:09I loved you.
01:09:11I did.
01:09:12This has all been a big misunderstanding, of course.
01:09:15I'm sure you can forgive me.
01:09:17Please, give me another chance.
01:09:19Yes, dear, just a misunderstanding.
01:09:23Let's put it all behind us now, shall we?
01:09:27Yeah.
01:09:28Forgive you!
01:09:29I don't think I will.
01:09:31It would be a sin to forget what you've done to my mother and father.
01:09:35My brother's title has nothing to do with you.
01:09:37I wish for you to be gone and never come back.
01:09:42Anna.
01:09:45Forgive me.
01:09:47You're better than this.
01:09:50Please, forgive me.
01:09:53You're better than this.
01:09:57Leave my sister alone, scum.
01:09:59Your apology means nothing.
01:10:00Please.
01:10:01Your grace, Duke Arthur.
01:10:03Mother, it's all my fault.
01:10:05I've wronged you.
01:10:06I admit it.
01:10:07I beg your pardon.
01:10:09Mr. Wesley.
01:10:10Madam.
01:10:12Please ask Arthur to show us mercy.
01:10:15I was betrothed to Anna.
01:10:17I've shown her much kindness.
01:10:19Mother.
01:10:20Please ask him to forgive me.
01:10:22I cannot live without Anna.
01:10:24Jane, please.
01:10:27I even got you the job at the Baron's Manor.
01:10:29Are you going to be so cruel as to forget everything I've done for you that John's done for you?
01:10:35A bit of compassion for an old friend?
01:10:39Yes.
01:10:40Mr. Wesley, please.
01:10:41I'll do anything for her.
01:10:43I'll give her whatever she wants.
01:10:45If you just please forgive my one transgression.
01:10:48How dare you ask for compassion?
01:10:55How dare you ask for compassion?
01:10:58Have you shown any compassion to my father?
01:11:00To my mother?
01:11:02Those ten long years I was gone.
01:11:04Did you help them at all?
01:11:06Did you give them any aid?
01:11:08You speak of them as an old friend.
01:11:10As if they have ever forsaken you.
01:11:12But you.
01:11:14Had I not been announced as the Duke.
01:11:15You would have kicked them to the ground and spit on their bodies.
01:11:19You called off my sister's engagement for the first noble lady you saw.
01:11:23You do not deserve my mercy.
01:11:25Duke.
01:11:26Arthur.
01:11:28I.
01:11:28Silence.
01:11:29I've seen you at your worst.
01:11:31I've seen how you treated me.
01:11:33My father.
01:11:34My mother.
01:11:35Anna.
01:11:36You are a shameless, filthy villain.
01:11:40Be gone.
01:11:43Lord Benjamin.
01:11:44Yes, sir.
01:11:45Have the Moors removed from the manor.
01:11:51Lord Benjamin.
01:11:53Yes, sir.
01:11:53Have the Moors removed from the manor.
01:11:56And forbid anyone from doing business with them in the town of Stanford.
01:12:00Yes, sir.
01:12:06Much better.
01:12:07Father.
01:12:08Father.
01:12:09Mother.
01:12:12Anna.
01:12:13Let us enjoy this banquet in peace.
01:12:16Arthur.
01:12:17This banquet is lovely.
01:12:22But nothing is better than us being reunited as a family.
01:12:27And together we'll be forever.
01:12:30Forever.
01:12:30When I am, we must be married.
01:12:33I am here.
01:12:34I am here.
