    "Demon Child"
[01:04] ---
    Well, Richard, do you surrender?
[01:07] ---
    That's Edward for you.
[01:09] ---
    Let me try again, Edward!
[01:11] ---
    That's enough, Lord Richard.
[01:13] ---
    Your mother will scold
    you if you're injured.
[01:18] ---
    Catesby, give me your horse!
[01:21] ---
    This story follows Richard,
    the Duke of York's third son,
[01:27] ---
    whose body harbors a secret
    known only to a few.
[01:32] ---
    When will my arms thicken?
[01:37] ---
    You can't do it, Richard.
[01:39] ---
    Not with your body.
[01:41] ---
    Here. Take a look.
[01:43] ---
    Your body...
[01:44] ---
    is neither a man's nor a woman's.
[01:49] ---
    Born with two sexes,
    Richard is shunned by the duchess
[01:55] ---
    and tormented by Joan the witch,
    who lurks deep within Richard's mind.
[02:01] ---
    I will become king.
[02:04] ---
    The Duke of York,
    Richard's father and namesake,
[02:07] ---
    treated Richard without prejudice
    and showered Richard with love.
[02:12] ---
    My father is my light.
[02:15] ---
    Only he will save me
    from darkness and gloom.
[02:20] ---
    Richard's one wish
[02:23] ---
    was for the duke to reclaim the throne
    from his foes, the House of Lancaster.
[02:30] ---
    I will not be king.
[02:33] ---
    But despite the Duke of York's
    victory in war,
[02:37] ---
    parliament refused to
    acknowledge him as king.
[02:40] ---
    He became Lord Protector to King Henry VI.
[02:44] ---
    Have they no shame?
[02:45] ---
    Let's fight them again!
[02:47] ---
    The crown belongs on your head, Father!
[02:50] ---
    We'll dye this white rose red
    with Henry's blood!
[02:54] ---
    The Duke of York resolved to make
    war for his throne once more.
[03:00] ---
    You demon! This only happened because you
    beguiled him with your honeyed words!
[03:05] ---
    You are a demon child!
[03:08] ---
    That night, something seemed to draw
    Richard into an encounter with a man.
[03:08] ---
    "A Pair Guided by Fate"
[03:14] ---
    What are you doing?
[03:18] ---
    I'm making a sundial.
[03:21] ---
    There was something strange about
    that man that drew Richard to him.
[03:26] ---
    Both of them had gone through
    life without their mothers' love.
[03:32] ---
    I'm sure I couldn't go
    to heaven if I died.
[03:35] ---
    I'm a demon child.
[03:37] ---
    That's why I can't get
    my mother to love me.
[03:43] ---
    I'll pray for you.
    Would you tell me your name?
[03:48] ---
    Richard.
[03:50] ---
    My name is Henry.
[03:52] ---
    Richard, would you be my friend?
[03:57] ---
    But that man was Richard's sworn enemy,
    King Henry of the House of Lancaster.
[04:04] ---
    The two met without realizing
    that they were foes.
[04:07] ---
    Thus, their fate was
    silently set in motion.
[04:11] ---
    With King Henry's capture,
[04:13] ---
    "Father and Child"
[04:14] ---
    the Duke of York seemed to have
    gained the upper hand in battle.
[04:19] ---
    But he was defeated by
    Henry's wife, Queen Margaret,
[04:23] ---
    and taken prisoner himself.
[04:27] ---
    Richard raced through the chaos,
    determined to save the duke's life.
[04:33] ---
    We Lancastrians have occupied this town.
[04:35] ---
    Are you really from this town?
[04:37] ---
    Father!
[04:39] ---
    I need to reach you soon!
[04:43] ---
    A wife and children.
[04:45] ---
    He's these children's father...
[04:48] ---
    ...and I killed him.
[04:54] ---
    Father!
[04:56] ---
    My father is waiting for me.
[04:59] ---
    He's waiting for me.
[05:04] ---
    Father!
[05:07] ---
    My light.
[05:11] ---
    Meanwhile,
[05:11] ---
    "Light and Shadow"
[05:12] ---
    the duke's eldest son, Edward,
[05:14] ---
    and his trusted ally, the Earl of Warwick,
    gave Margaret's army battle.
[05:19] ---
    Look, Warwick. Look at the sun.
[05:22] ---
    That sun is a good omen!
[05:25] ---
    Enemy reinforcements?!
[05:26] ---
    They number in the thousands.
[05:31] ---
    I have been forever robbed of light.
[05:35] ---
    In the dark, I can see
    only the color of blood.
[05:39] ---
    So, I will cover the world...
[05:41] ---
    ...in blood! Blood! Blood!
[05:43] ---
    Blood!
[05:45] ---
    The victorious Edward declared
    himself King of England.
[05:51] ---
    "Two Years Later"
[05:52] ---
    He decided to secure his position
[05:55] ---
    by wedding the sister-in-law
    of the King of France.
[05:59] ---
    Anne, give me your hand.
[06:01] ---
    The Earl of Warwick's
    daughter, Anne Neville,
[06:05] ---
    was the only woman Richard would trust.
[06:09] ---
    But she was becoming embroiled
    in the battle for the crown as well.
[06:14] ---
    I trust that my French lady
    is quite the beauty as well.
[06:19] ---
    Leave everything to me.
[06:21] ---
    I plan to do nothing
    without your approval.
[06:25] ---
    But at the same time, Edward met with
    the widowed Elizabeth Woodville in secret.
[06:33] ---
    Elizabeth, however,
    had designs of her own.
[06:36] ---
    I will avenge him.
[06:37] ---
    The Royal Family of York,
    my husband's killers, will be ours.
[06:42] ---
    If I let her go,
    I'll regret it as long as I live.
[06:46] ---
    Does love make people as blind as this?
[06:50] ---
    He speaks as though that
    woman is more valuable.
[06:54] ---
    As though she's worth more than
    the crown that Father died for.
[07:00] ---
    As shadows crept up on
    the Royal Family of York,
[07:03] ---
    Richard had a fateful reunion with Henry.
[07:08] ---
    Richard?
[07:10] ---
    I had faith that I would see you again.
[07:13] ---
    Why does he always...?
[07:15] ---
    Why are you so obsessed
    with me, of all people?
[07:18] ---
    Because! Because you've
    been my salvation all this time!
[07:21] ---
    I was your salvation? Me?
[07:24] ---
    Their unexpected life together
[07:27] ---
    cast a ray of light into
    Richard's closed-off heart.
[07:33] ---
    Henry, you make me mad.
[07:38] ---
    I'm afraid I'm going to lose
[07:41] ---
    the answers I've gotten
    and... everything else.
[07:45] ---
    But even so...
[07:47] ---
    Even so, forever and ever, I...
[07:53] ---
    God save Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth!
[07:53] ---
    "Qualities of a King"
[07:57] ---
    The public announcement
    of Edward's marriage to Elizabeth
[08:01] ---
    began to throw doubt onto the
    supposed security of the House of York.
[08:07] ---
    If we get another war to turn
    the world upside down,
[08:11] ---
    then even I might end up king.
[08:13] ---
    Haven't you ever considered it?!
[08:15] ---
    You could be king yourself!
[08:17] ---
    Me, become king?
[08:20] ---
    With this shameful body of mine?
[08:22] ---
    But who's worthy to be king if I'm not?
[08:26] ---
    Preserve my name, Richard.
    It's the name of a king.
[08:33] ---
    The name... of a king.
[08:36] ---
    With his sister-in-law's
    engagement broken,
[08:40] ---
    the King of France supported a
    renewed Lancastrian bid for the throne.
[08:44] ---
    And then...
[08:45] ---
    What are you...
[08:47] ---
    ...doing here?!
[08:49] ---
    Damn you!
[08:50] ---
    Your Majesty, my virtuous queen.
[08:54] ---
    He is none other than your savior.
[08:58] ---
    Where's the king?!
[09:00] ---
    Aim for the king's tent!
[09:02] ---
    Edward was captured due
    to Warwick's stratagems.
[09:05] ---
    How could you repay
    my trust with treachery?
[09:08] ---
    I will reclaim the land and
    return it to its rightful sovereign.
[09:13] ---
    What "rightful sovereign"?
[09:16] ---
    He is here now.
[09:18] ---
    King George is my true
    sovereign, and I, his vassal.
[09:23] ---
    It's as I feared.
[09:25] ---
    I knew that Warwick
    was no friend of ours.
[09:29] ---
    Does he plan to
    send me back to France
[09:32] ---
    and pretend that our
    alliance never happened?
[09:35] ---
    Richard was forced to choose
    which elder brother to support.
[09:40] ---
    A man who has no awareness as king.
[09:43] ---
    A man who is unqualified to be king.
[09:45] ---
    Neither of them is fit for the throne.
[09:48] ---
    Even so,
[09:49] ---
    Warwick, I will never, never
    give the kingdom to you.
[09:52] ---
    We're going to rescue King Edward.
[09:57] ---
    Richard unknowingly joined forces with
    Crown Prince Edward of Lancaster
[10:03] ---
    and took advantage of Richard's own
    hated body to successfully rescue Edward.
[10:09] ---
    Catesby is waiting with
    horses outside the castle.
[10:12] ---
    In response, Warwick...
[10:14] ---
    I'm grateful to see you again,
    my dear Warwick.
[10:19] ---
    Now, Edward,
[10:21] ---
    claim your bride.
[10:24] ---
    Anne. You are to be Edward's wife.
[10:28] ---
    Henceforth, the Nevilles will share
    the fortunes of the House of Lancaster.
[10:34] ---
    Warwick.
[10:35] ---
    Proclaim it to everyone here.
[10:37] ---
    Speak the name of England's king.
[10:40] ---
    I give thanks for this joyous
    opportunity to praise his name.
[10:45] ---
    Our sovereign...
[10:46] ---
    His Majesty, King Henry VI.
[10:49] ---
    ...became King Henry's
    Protector and seized power.
[10:54] ---
    I am now the King of
    England in all but name.
[10:59] ---
    Richard, deliver this
    Yorkist flag to George.
[11:01] ---
    "For Love"
[11:04] ---
    This is my final warning.
[11:06] ---
    The outnumbered House of York
    embarked on a massive gamble.
[11:11] ---
    George stayed with Warwick even after
    he sided with Lancaster. Can I move him?
[11:17] ---
    No. I will succeed.
[11:20] ---
    I'll win England back from them.
[11:23] ---
    En route, Richard suffered a Lancastrian
    attack and fled into the woods.
[11:32] ---
    Henry?
[11:32] ---
    Richard.
[11:34] ---
    Find him!
[11:35] ---
    Come on!
[11:37] ---
    I thought that I would
    never see you again.
[11:40] ---
    I thought I shouldn't see you again.
[11:43] ---
    And yet...
[11:44] ---
    I longed to see you, Richard.
[11:46] ---
    I'm truly, truly glad.
[11:48] ---
    When I look up at the sky,
    I remember the first time I met you.
[11:54] ---
    Do you still have nightmares?
[11:58] ---
    The world stays just the same,
[12:00] ---
    but my beautiful memories
    with you purify me.
[12:06] ---
    I'm in pain, but why?
[12:08] ---
    I'm not a woman, and yet...
[12:13] ---
    You're my angel, Richard.
[12:17] ---
    I love Henry.
[12:21] ---
    Your Grace!
[12:23] ---
    Wait; he's not our enemy.
[12:25] ---
    But that man is--
[12:27] ---
    My friend.
[12:30] ---
    He's an old acquaintance of mine.
[12:32] ---
    He came to take me away.
[12:34] ---
    No!
[12:36] ---
    There are things that I must do.
[12:39] ---
    Can we be together always
    once you've done them?
[12:43] ---
    Let's promise to meet
    again under that tree.
[12:48] ---
    Very well. You have my word.
[12:52] ---
    The throne is yours, Your Majesty.
[12:54] ---
    I suppose I've no choice.
[12:56] ---
    That should have been my seat.
[12:58] ---
    Why is Warwick sitting on that throne?
[13:02] ---
    Where did I go wrong?
[13:05] ---
    "White and Red"
[13:06] ---
    At last, the curtain rose on the decisive
    battle between York and Lancaster.
[13:13] ---
    It appears you've lost your way.
[13:15] ---
    You're the one who's lost.
[13:18] ---
    Do you intend to challenge
    us with such a paltry force?
[13:22] ---
    The brother who abandoned you has come.
[13:24] ---
    You're late. Did Margaret's
    forces arrive in time?
[13:34] ---
    I've repented my infidelity,
    and to regain my brother's trust,
[13:38] ---
    I hereby denounce you as my mortal foe!
[13:42] ---
    I'll return the wound you gave
    my heart a hundred-fold!
[13:46] ---
    You'll pay for this.
[13:47] ---
    Traitor!
[13:53] ---
    How are we supposed to fight in this mist?
[13:56] ---
    Follow me!
[13:57] ---
    I can see! I can see the
    red blood of Lancaster!
[14:02] ---
    --Your Majesty!
    --I...
[14:04] ---
    I've always believed that
    my heart was with my people.
[14:09] ---
    But I kept averting my gaze
    from reality--from everyone's pain.
[14:15] ---
    I must witness it with my own eyes.
[14:17] ---
    As king, I must see its end.
[14:20] ---
    There's the enemy line!
    They haven't noticed us in the mist!
[14:24] ---
    We can take them by surprise!
[14:26] ---
    I'm off to win glory!
[14:27] ---
    --Wait for me!
    --Let's go!
    --Follow me, Lancastrian soldiers.
[14:29] ---
    --I'll join you!
    --Follow me, Lancastrian soldiers.
[14:31] ---
    Shatter Lancaster!
[14:34] ---
    With the aid of Richard's quick wit,
    the Yorkist army gained the upper hand.
[14:39] ---
    Finally...
[14:41] ---
    Damn!
[14:42] ---
    I refuse to let this be the end!
[14:44] ---
    I've bent all of England to my will!
[14:47] ---
    The crown is still in my hands!
[14:51] ---
    Warwick, your time is over.
[14:54] ---
    From now on, I am
[14:56] ---
    the kingmaker.
[14:58] ---
    Where is he? King Henry is here somewhere!
[15:02] ---
    Come, Richard.
[15:04] ---
    Come this way if you want to see Henry.
[15:08] ---
    Wait, Richard.
[15:10] ---
    That woman means only to deceive you.
[15:13] ---
    Richard, come with me.
[15:15] ---
    Trust only my words.
[15:17] ---
    Do it to kill Henry!
[15:19] ---
    Begone, fiend!
[15:22] ---
    Richard.
[15:25] ---
    But I'm the only one
[15:29] ---
    who knows the real you.
[15:30] ---
    Father, I will avenge you
    with my own hands.
[15:34] ---
    Lead me to King Henry!
[15:39] ---
    I killed them.
[15:43] ---
    I've been killing them.
[15:46] ---
    Let's flee, Your Majesty!
[15:48] ---
    Wait for me. Once I've slain the king,
[15:51] ---
    I'll go to our forest, Henry.
[15:54] ---
    That's right. No matter
    who you are, you're my...
[15:57] ---
    Duke Richard!
[15:59] ---
    Names and titles don't matter.
[16:01] ---
    Henry, you are my light.
[16:05] ---
    So, I'm going to kill the king...
[16:13] ---
    ...and gain light.
[16:22] ---
    Henry.
[16:24] ---
    Richard.
[16:26] ---
    Who are you?
[16:29] ---
    My name is Richard Plantagenet.
[16:34] ---
    Son of the Duke of York,
    whom the Lancastrians murdered.
[16:39] ---
    I am the King of England.
[16:55] ---
    The battle ended in a Yorkist victory.
[16:56] ---
    "In Darkness"
[16:57] ---
    King Henry was imprisoned
    in a state of despondency.
[17:02] ---
    But as for Richard's heart...
[17:05] ---
    Why?
[17:06] ---
    If we hadn't met that day,
    at that time, then...
[17:12] ---
    Hey!
[17:17] ---
    If you really want to die, consider
    that you just did, and this is hell.
[17:23] ---
    So...
[17:25] ---
    You may remain mad.
[17:28] ---
    Merely slay the enemies before you.
    Think of nothing else.
[17:33] ---
    Go on killing, Richard.
[17:37] ---
    That is my...
[17:41] ---
    My punishment.
[17:46] ---
    Both Queen Margaret
[17:49] ---
    and her son Edward, Prince of Wales,
    became prisoners of war.
[17:53] ---
    The House of Lancaster
    was coming to its end.
[17:56] ---
    Say your prayers, prince of Lancaster.
[18:00] ---
    Kneel, insolent wretches!
[18:01] ---
    I am your king!
[18:07] ---
    I had a wish that I wanted to
    come true, no matter what it took.
[18:13] ---
    At least let it be you.
[18:16] ---
    I want to perish at your hand.
[18:24] ---
    Kill me too!
[18:26] ---
    Kill me this instant!
[18:31] ---
    Kill Henry.
[18:35] ---
    Edward IV gave his brother
    Richard an order
[18:39] ---
    to assassinate Henry as a show of loyalty.
[18:42] ---
    It must be done in secret.
[18:44] ---
    Even if you don't remember anything,
[18:47] ---
    I remember every last detail.
[18:55] ---
    You're...
[18:56] ---
    I'm neither a man nor a woman.
[19:01] ---
    I was born with two sexes.
[19:04] ---
    You're the only one I'll tell the truth.
[19:07] ---
    At the end, I'll show you my true form.
[19:11] ---
    The real me.
[19:14] ---
    Henry,
[19:16] ---
    please love me.
[19:24] ---
    Let's sin
[19:27] ---
    and go to hell together.
[19:32] ---
    Henry.
[19:33] ---
    A demon instigated
    every sin in this world.
[19:37] ---
    That demon led you astray
    with its demonic flesh.
[19:44] ---
    Stop!
[19:47] ---
    Henry.
[19:48] ---
    The prophet said, the day you were born,
    a terrible storm laid trees low.
[19:56] ---
    Richard!
[19:57] ---
    Your mother suffered
    abnormal birthing pains!
[20:02] ---
    And after all that, her child
[20:04] ---
    looked nothing like its parents
    and defied the will of God!
[20:08] ---
    It was a blood-soaked demon!
[20:11] ---
    One day, a host of people
    who have lost children
[20:14] ---
    Silence.
[20:15] ---
    will lament the untimely
    deaths you have caused.
[20:18] ---
    Silence! Silence! Silence! Silence!
[20:31] ---
    As they curse the day...
[20:37] ---
    ...of your birth.
[20:49] ---
    Of the House of Lancaster,
    only Anne Neville was pardoned.
[20:54] ---
    Please have no fear.
[20:56] ---
    We'll tend to Anne and the Neville
    estate with the utmost care.
[21:01] ---
    I won't let that woman's relatives
    control the royal family.
[21:04] ---
    Your inheritance and Anne's combined
    make my power a match for the king's.
[21:10] ---
    We should help her marry soon.
[21:13] ---
    The thought of her plight worries me.
[21:17] ---
    Especially the thought of allowing
    George to hold such vast wealth.
[21:23] ---
    Please wait!
[21:25] ---
    Please!
[21:26] ---
    Please allow me to mourn
    King Henry's passing!
[21:30] ---
    Lower the casket.
[21:36] ---
    Pardon me, Lady Anne Neville.
[21:39] ---
    You really did kill him?
[21:44] ---
    I did.
[21:45] ---
    --And my father!
    --I killed him. Your husband too.
[21:50] ---
    As Edward lay bound and sobbing,
    I took my sword to his neck and--
[21:54] ---
    Stop!
[21:58] ---
    What? I've been feeling
    strange for some time.
[22:01] ---
    Don't tell me...
[22:02] ---
    I became that way for love.
[22:06] ---
    Love for you drove me.
[22:09] ---
    Richard, I've thought of the
    reward you'll enjoy most.
[22:14] ---
    Marriage to Anne Neville.
[22:17] ---
    You were my light.
[22:20] ---
    In dream and reality, I sought for you.
[22:25] ---
    If it would win me a moment
    in your embrace,
[22:29] ---
    I would even have slaughtered
    every person in the world.
[22:34] ---
    This is also for the Royal Family of York.
    I trust you understand,
[22:38] ---
    Richard?
[22:40] ---
    If I cannot convince you,
    please take this sword...
[22:44] ---
    ...and bury it in my breast.
[22:50] ---
    Liar.
[22:51] ---
    I'm not lying.
[22:53] ---
    Tell me the truth.
[22:56] ---
    Anne, I want you to marry me.
[23:01] ---
    I'm certain he's not sincere.
[23:05] ---
    After all, he... he...
[23:11] ---
    Richard is dead--
[23:15] ---
    died alone in the woods that day.
[23:25] ---
    Thus, our play proceeds to its second
    act amid a whirl of love and hate.
[23:25] ---
    "Thus, on to act two"
[23:29] ---
    If it will allow me to escape destiny,
[23:32] ---
    I'll become a demon.
[23:33] ---
    I'll make anyone who harms him pay,
    whomever they may be!
[23:36] ---
    Remember this pain.
[23:37] ---
    "Part Two begins"
[23:39] ---
