[00:04] ---
    I am myself alone.
[00:07] ---
    Therefore, demon,
[00:09] ---
    refashion my mind to suit my body!
[00:13] ---
    I that have neither pity, love, nor fear
[00:16] ---
    shall send all who wish our house's
    downfall straight to the pits of hell!
[00:20] ---
    Behold our sun!
[00:23] ---
    The winter of our discontent has passed!
[00:30] ---
    Well? What do you think?
[00:32] ---
    You look lovely, Princess Elizabeth.
[00:34] ---
    Ugh! Elizabeth is my mother's name.
[00:37] ---
    Call me "Beth."
[00:39] ---
    You're making quite the effort.
[00:41] ---
    Do you fancy some gentleman in attendance?
[00:44] ---
    It's n-nothing like--
[00:49] ---
    Are you hurt, my lady?
[00:54] ---
    Uncle Richard!
[00:56] ---
    Beth. You've grown into a
    fine lady since I last saw you.
[01:00] ---
    Anne! Tell Richard to visit
    London more often!
[01:04] ---
    Come this way.
    The banquet is about to start.
[01:08] ---
    Another day of ridiculous farce.
[01:23] ---
    York of the white rose.
[01:25] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[01:28] ---
    These royal houses with roses
    for their crests battled for the throne.
[01:34] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[03:17] ---
    Welcome, one and all!
[03:19] ---
    Let us enjoy our summer!
[03:22] ---
    God save King Edward IV!
[03:24] ---
    God save King Edward IV!
[03:30] ---
    Look, Father! A dragon!
[03:32] ---
    Kill it! Kill it, Saint George!
[03:35] ---
    Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!
[03:37] ---
    But the script says--
[03:39] ---
    Stand aside!
[03:42] ---
    George! George!
[03:43] ---
    Hooray!
[03:45] ---
    Your Royal Highnesses,
[03:47] ---
    your servant George, Duke of Clarence,
    has slain the wicked dragon!
[03:53] ---
    George! Are you drunk?!
    Sheathe your sword!
[03:58] ---
    You seem quite displeased
    that I've reduced your authority.
[04:02] ---
    Shut up.
[04:14] ---
    Richard. Have you been well?
[04:16] ---
    I have. How is your wife?
[04:20] ---
    Mine is concerned for her as well.
[04:22] ---
    She's well, thanks to you.
[04:24] ---
    God took pity on me for losing
    lands to my little brother
[04:28] ---
    and blessed us with children.
[04:31] ---
    Speaking of which, you're taking
    a long time to make a second!
[04:35] ---
    Don't tell me you're neglecting Anne.
[04:38] ---
    Rumor has it that you've never
    shared a bed since you married her.
[04:41] ---
    Whose child is your only son?
    Let's check if he looks like--
[04:45] ---
    I don't feel well.
[04:47] ---
    Please excuse me.
[04:49] ---
    Here is what you've all been waiting for!
    The "cakes of destiny"!
[04:53] ---
    Please reach under the cloth
    and take a cake!
[04:55] ---
    The shape of your cake
    predicts your future!
[04:59] ---
    Fortune telling? Hogwash.
[05:01] ---
    Hey! Bring me more wine!
[05:08] ---
    For once, I agree with George.
[05:15] ---
    How does this shape appear to you?
[05:18] ---
    Hm...
[05:19] ---
    What is it?
[05:20] ---
    I've got it! It's a horseshoe!
[05:25] ---
    Oh! I know, Father!
[05:26] ---
    It's a letter G!
[05:30] ---
    I beg your pardon!
[05:32] ---
    It was the children's fault,
    and more importantly...
[05:35] ---
    Hastings, provide that good
    woman with a new dress.
[05:39] ---
    Of course.
[05:41] ---
    Come with me.
[05:51] ---
    The Duke of Gloucester,
[05:53] ---
    Richard Plantagenet.
[05:56] ---
    A bloodstained G, is it?
[05:58] ---
    Buckingham. That isn't my future.
[06:02] ---
    Then choose one for yourself.
[06:04] ---
    I merely obey my sovereign.
[06:06] ---
    With whose policy you seemed dissatisfied
    in the recent French campaign.
[06:11] ---
    Mind your tongue.
[06:12] ---
    If you're thinking of Warwick's murder,
    some lay the blame at Richard's feet.
[06:18] ---
    I've long admired your virtue, Richard.
[06:23] ---
    I'll make the choice with you.
    We'll pick out your future.
[06:31] ---
    Take any dress you like.
[06:33] ---
    His Majesty bid me say as much.
[06:36] ---
    I'll wait outside the door.
[06:39] ---
    But I can hardly change
    dresses all on my own.
[06:46] ---
    Would you lend me a hand?
[06:56] ---
    What say I assist you?
[06:59] ---
    Your Majesty!
[07:00] ---
    At first glance,
    I knew what lurks within you.
[07:06] ---
    Beauty and debauchery.
[07:08] ---
    Your Majesty, I have a husband.
[07:11] ---
    All the better.
[07:12] ---
    Join us, Hastings.
[07:14] ---
    Wait!
[07:16] ---
    Please wait, Your Majesty!
[07:19] ---
    Have you ever made use of this?
[07:21] ---
    It is a miraculous elixir that inspires
    sweet, licentious passion.
[07:28] ---
    Who are you?
[07:31] ---
    My name is Jane.
[07:34] ---
    Have you ever slept with a witch,
    Your Royal Majesty?
[07:40] ---
    Can a witch predict the future?
[07:44] ---
    She can read signs. Such as...
[07:49] ---
    ...those "cakes of destiny," for example.
[07:56] ---
    He spent last night alone as well.
[08:01] ---
    This body makes even
    wishing for a wife a sin.
[08:06] ---
    Or so I thought.
[08:10] ---
    Shouldn't I join you?
[08:13] ---
    You would only end up
    feeling unwell again.
[08:16] ---
    Father.
[08:19] ---
    Richard, hold him before you set out.
[08:27] ---
    You look as lovely as always.
[08:30] ---
    Flowers should go to your mother,
[08:33] ---
    Edward.
[08:37] ---
    Farewell.
[08:42] ---
    Let's see your father off.
[08:46] ---
    He truly looks more like him every year.
[08:50] ---
    I feel as though Richard reproaches me
    every time he says Edward's name.
[08:55] ---
    As though our loveless days
    are the price I must pay.
[08:59] ---
    You left your wife behind?
[09:02] ---
    As did you.
[09:03] ---
    I sleep with her enough from day to day.
[09:06] ---
    The soul and the body
    are separate matters.
[09:09] ---
    I suppose.
[09:12] ---
    If God gave us flesh to punish us,
[09:17] ---
    then after all,
[09:18] ---
    this body is just a prison of the soul...
[09:22] ---
    The death of my soul brought me peace.
[09:26] ---
    I would never have been
    imprisoned without it.
[09:32] ---
    Nothing beats drinking wine with my son.
[09:35] ---
    Look! I drained it in no time!
[09:37] ---
    George, why don't you drink a little less?
[09:41] ---
    I hear you used wild words at the banquet.
[09:43] ---
    I only spoke the truth!
[09:45] ---
    Let me prophecy, my unfortunate son!
[09:47] ---
    By the time you inherit, our house will be
    reduced to penniless country gentlemen!
[09:51] ---
    That's quite enough!
[09:56] ---
    I'm sorry.
[09:58] ---
    Everything I do turns out wrong.
[10:01] ---
    There's no hope left for me.
[10:05] ---
    George, you aren't hopeless at all.
[10:08] ---
    You ought by all rights to rival the king.
[10:12] ---
    Isabelle.
[10:15] ---
    No matter how much you hate him,
    you mustn't let it show.
[10:19] ---
    Don't worry, and have faith in me.
[10:23] ---
    I chose to stand by you,
    even after you turned on my father.
[10:28] ---
    I even sacrificed my own sister.
[10:34] ---
    I've prepared what Your Grace requested.
[10:38] ---
    Will it really work?
[10:40] ---
    It will, Your Grace.
[10:42] ---
    However,
[10:44] ---
    every curse comes at a price.
[10:47] ---
    I don't care.
[10:50] ---
    It doesn't matter if I get to be queen.
[10:53] ---
    You mean everything to me,
[10:56] ---
    my George.
[11:08] ---
    How's that?!
[11:09] ---
    Marvelous, Your Highness!
[11:10] ---
    How idiotic. He really is
    a child if he enjoys that.
[11:15] ---
    George never came.
[11:18] ---
    I doubt he was invited. Hardly surprising
    after the way he behaved last time.
[11:23] ---
    And not only last time.
[11:27] ---
    Father! Look at this!
[11:31] ---
    I see.
[11:32] ---
    It's nearly nightfall.
    You should be in bed.
[11:36] ---
    I'd still like to--
[11:37] ---
    Take tonight to rest after
    these days of feasting.
[11:41] ---
    Would you find my presence inconvenient?
[11:44] ---
    Did you say something?
[11:48] ---
    Nothing at all.
[11:50] ---
    So, the queen's spell has broken at last.
[11:53] ---
    Another new witch
    must have taken her place.
[11:58] ---
    Yes. This is nothing unusual.
[12:01] ---
    Still, while he's had
    new favorites before,
[12:05] ---
    he's never neglected me for any of them.
[12:14] ---
    It doesn't matter.
    I no longer need the king's love.
[12:19] ---
    Mother?
[12:22] ---
    I hold the winning hand:
[12:25] ---
    my sons who will ascend the throne.
[12:29] ---
    Now, gentlemen,
    the remainder of the night is ours!
[12:36] ---
    That woman.
[12:38] ---
    Your Grace, please drink your fill.
[12:47] ---
    My lords, I have prepared this
    miraculous wine specially for tonight!
[12:52] ---
    Welcome to Elysium!
[13:04] ---
    He calls this "Elysium"?
[13:08] ---
    To your brother, I suppose it is.
[13:11] ---
    I believed that paradise
    and light lay within that circlet.
[13:18] ---
    Within that circlet lies paradise.
[13:22] ---
    What?
[13:23] ---
    My head is spinning.
[13:25] ---
    Richard.
[13:28] ---
    Father?
[13:29] ---
    Join us.
[13:35] ---
    Richard, this is paradise.
[13:38] ---
    Yes, Richard. Have your fill of pleasure.
[13:44] ---
    Relax your inhibitions.
[13:48] ---
    Stop.
[13:49] ---
    Please stop.
[13:50] ---
    Demon! Demon! Demon!
[13:55] ---
    My soul perished back then,
[13:57] ---
    and yet it was so easily recalled.
[14:01] ---
    --What a feeble "death."
    --Hey! Richard!
[14:03] ---
    Hang on!
[14:07] ---
    They're mad.
[14:09] ---
    This is no paradise.
[14:13] ---
    That man...
[14:15] ---
    That man...
[14:18] ---
    ...is not my father.
[14:27] ---
    Where am I?
[14:29] ---
    I remember nothing more.
[14:31] ---
    Did someone touch this body of mine?
[14:35] ---
    Your Grace.
[14:37] ---
    Catesby.
[14:40] ---
    Please forgive my impertinence.
[14:44] ---
    The guests have dispersed.
[14:46] ---
    I doubt anyone remembers
    what happened last night.
[14:50] ---
    Thank you.
[14:52] ---
    I wish that I could have warned you.
[14:55] ---
    Lord Hastings told me
    that His Majesty's lover,
[14:59] ---
    a woman called Jane,
    can compound a variety of drugs.
[15:03] ---
    You're more attuned to
    court gossip than I am now.
[15:07] ---
    My master, Lord Hastings,
    is an intimate of the king.
[15:15] ---
    I'm in your debt.
[15:17] ---
    Your Grace, about that day--
[15:18] ---
    Don't speak of it! It's over!
[15:21] ---
    It all came to an end that day.
[15:25] ---
    That aside, tell me about Jane.
[15:29] ---
    This is merely a rumor,
[15:32] ---
    but she apparently
    termed herself a "witch."
[15:37] ---
    A witch.
[15:38] ---
    After tasting this, ordinary lovemaking
    becomes merely a chore.
[15:44] ---
    What once seemed to shine so brightly
[15:47] ---
    always loses its luster
    once it becomes mine.
[15:50] ---
    Your Majesty.
[15:52] ---
    But Jane is different.
[15:54] ---
    The more I have of her, the more I want.
[15:57] ---
    She'll lead me from this
    dull throne to Elysium.
[16:03] ---
    Is something the matter?
[16:04] ---
    I've felt my health
    declining rapidly of late.
[16:08] ---
    Especially the day after my enjoy--
[16:10] ---
    Your Majesty!
[16:12] ---
    I'm merely a bit tired.
[16:14] ---
    Now, would you summon Jane for me?
[16:17] ---
    I'm certain that she'll give me
    unlimited strength.
[16:21] ---
    Fetch Jane. I'll keep watch
    at His Majesty's side.
[16:27] ---
    I doubt it's serious,
[16:29] ---
    but don't let the court, and especially
    Queen Elizabeth, hear of this.
[16:39] ---
    I want to know who that woman really is.
[16:42] ---
    If she is a witch, I'll simply...
[16:45] ---
    Your Grace.
[16:49] ---
    This is no festival.
[16:51] ---
    Picture it in your mind.
[16:53] ---
    And pray.
[16:54] ---
    Pray!
[16:55] ---
    Cast your anger and resentment...
[16:57] ---
    ...into this fire!
[17:04] ---
    What's this?
[17:09] ---
    "Death to King Edward"?
[17:11] ---
    That's a cursed doll.
[17:16] ---
    I wonder who could have
    wished death on His Majesty.
[17:20] ---
    F-Forgive me,
[17:22] ---
    O Lord.
[17:24] ---
    Isabelle! Are you all right?!
    This is so sudden!
[17:27] ---
    Her health has never
    recovered from childbirth.
[17:30] ---
    She gave birth more than six months ago!
[17:33] ---
    I suspect that stress is also to blame.
[17:36] ---
    Hang on, Isabelle!
[17:38] ---
    Your Majesty, I can venture a guess
    at the cause of your ailment.
[17:43] ---
    At the identity of the one who cursed you.
[17:46] ---
    My medicine... There...
[17:51] ---
    Isabelle, all I've ever
    done is let you down.
[17:55] ---
    I'm truly sorry.
[17:57] ---
    But I swear...
[17:59] ---
    Let me swear that
    I'll turn over a new leaf.
[18:07] ---
    Cursing the king would
    be the gravest of crimes!
[18:10] ---
    Who is it? Tell me their name.
[18:14] ---
    Your Majesty, do you remember
    the "cakes of destiny"?
[18:19] ---
    Red wine stands for blood,
    and the capital G is an initial.
[18:24] ---
    It can't be.
[18:26] ---
    But it is. Bloodstained George.
[18:30] ---
    I love you, Isabelle.
    We'll always be together.
[18:37] ---
    Right, Isabelle?
[18:41] ---
    Isabelle? Isabelle!
[18:44] ---
    But without proof...
[18:46] ---
    Your Majesty, I have the proof here.
[18:51] ---
    What's this?!
[18:52] ---
    Those three dolls contained slips of paper
[18:55] ---
    bearing wishes for the death
    of Your Majesty and the princes.
[19:00] ---
    But this isn't George's writing.
[19:02] ---
    Your Majesty, entrust this matter to me.
[19:05] ---
    I will question George about
    the truth behind this "curse."
[19:11] ---
    What are you after?
[19:14] ---
    Is your plan to frame George
    to convince me that you're a witch?
[19:19] ---
    Who can say?
[19:21] ---
    You won't escape suspicion.
[19:24] ---
    The witch who made the palace a den
    of vice will burn like Joan of Arc.
[19:30] ---
    Did I make it a den of vice?
[19:33] ---
    The king has forgotten war and
    cares more for lust than his realm.
[19:38] ---
    His younger brother is a sot
[19:40] ---
    whose emotional outbursts make him
    the House of York's Achilles' heel.
[19:45] ---
    Am I wrong?
[19:46] ---
    What's your point?
[19:48] ---
    I've taken an interest in you.
[19:50] ---
    Unlike other men, what's within
    you promises complexity.
[19:55] ---
    Know your place!
[19:57] ---
    Merely a jest.
    Nobles seek meaning in everything.
[20:01] ---
    I have no goals;
    I simply wish to enjoy life.
[20:09] ---
    I'll go on alone from here.
[20:11] ---
    --But...
    --If you swear allegiance to York,
[20:14] ---
    forget this and depart!
[20:17] ---
    If we let that witch live, she'll serve
    as a check against the queen.
[20:21] ---
    George, however, is now only a thorn
    in the House of York's side.
[20:25] ---
    And as he threatens York,
[20:29] ---
    I will arrest George.
[20:38] ---
    Why didn't you invite me?
[20:40] ---
    I've been looking for you.
[20:42] ---
    I saw you set out with your man.
[20:45] ---
    You overheard us?
[20:47] ---
    However often you deny it--
[20:48] ---
    Buckingham, assist me.
[20:52] ---
    You mean it?
[20:53] ---
    Wait. There's something I must know first.
[20:57] ---
    Are you hiding anything from me?
[21:01] ---
    Swear that you have no secrets from me.
[21:03] ---
    If we're to be partners,
    we must share everything.
[21:08] ---
    I swear it.
[21:11] ---
    In that case, Richard,
[21:14] ---
    my king, order me, and I shall
    grant your every wish.
[21:19] ---
    You're mistaken about one thing.
    Catesby isn't my man.
[21:24] ---
    Is he not? He still seems
    to be serving you admirably.
[21:29] ---
    As one who swears allegiance to York,
    I will accompany you.
[21:35] ---
    As you wish.
[21:37] ---
    Let's go.
[21:38] ---
    We'll eliminate those who would
    harm York by any means necessary.
[21:43] ---
    I did touch it back then.
[21:47] ---
    I touched my future.
