[00:01] ---
    O Lord, please save my father.
[00:11] ---
    That was a superb performance,
[00:14] ---
    my queen.
[00:21] ---
    Edward had everything that I never could.
[00:26] ---
    He was the spitting image
    of our father and a perfect man.
[00:30] ---
    But...
[00:31] ---
    You look dreadful.
[00:36] ---
    Richard...
[00:41] ---
    You're no longer a king.
[00:44] ---
    It's time to die, Brother.
[00:49] ---
    Your time has come, Edward.
[00:54] ---
    Let us go to atone for the sins that not
    even a royal fortune could spare you.
[01:05] ---
    As you say,
[01:08] ---
    Warwick.
[01:15] ---
    York of the white rose.
[01:17] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[01:20] ---
    These royal houses with roses for
    their crests battled for the throne.
[01:26] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[03:06] ---
    In the name of the Father, the Son,
    and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
[03:31] ---
    That was certainly abrupt.
[03:33] ---
    Death takes irresistibly
    and without warning.
[03:38] ---
    Just like killing on the battlefield.
[03:41] ---
    Death must be busy.
[03:46] ---
    Buckingham, do you remember
    the first person you killed?
[03:52] ---
    No. What of it?
[03:55] ---
    I just recalled mine.
[03:58] ---
    John Grey,
[04:00] ---
    Elizabeth's former husband.
[04:03] ---
    I'd heard he was slain
    by some nameless soldier.
[04:07] ---
    Why tell me this?
[04:09] ---
    I swore to keep no secrets.
[04:18] ---
    I wagered all I have on you.
[04:21] ---
    Don't betray me.
[04:27] ---
    Today is All Fool's Day!
[04:29] ---
    Men are women, and children are adults!
[04:32] ---
    In this world gone mad,
    a beggar can even become a king!
[04:37] ---
    Would you like a crown of your own?
[04:40] ---
    I could never be king.
[04:44] ---
    Why not? This is a world gone mad.
[04:48] ---
    Even a demon could be king here.
[04:51] ---
    Your Grace, I bring urgent
    tidings from Lord Hastings.
[04:55] ---
    Earl Rivers means to
    make himself Protector.
[04:58] ---
    He is escorting the Prince of Wales
    to the palace with a large army.
[05:03] ---
    I have troops in readiness as well.
[05:06] ---
    I'll leave to meet the prince at once.
[05:08] ---
    By escorting the new king and
    making a show of our dignity
[05:12] ---
    I, Anthony Woodville, Earl Rivers,
    shall secure my place as Protector.
[05:17] ---
    Fetching the prince isn't your only job.
[05:22] ---
    You're to seize Richard
    and bring him to the Tower.
[05:26] ---
    He murdered John.
    I mean to execute him personally.
[05:32] ---
    Thank you for telling me
    the truth about John's death.
[05:37] ---
    Buckingham, my kingmaker.
[05:42] ---
    Once he learns of Earl Rivers's actions,
[05:45] ---
    he's certain to give chase
    at the head of a large army.
[05:49] ---
    You're to call on him alone
    and dine amicably with him.
[05:53] ---
    Once he's off his guard,
    arrest him for treason.
[05:57] ---
    But what if his troops surround me?
[06:00] ---
    In that event, the troops
    I have in readiness
[06:06] ---
    will kill Richard.
[06:10] ---
    Ugh! What are these clothes?!
[06:12] ---
    I don't want to go to the palace in these!
[06:15] ---
    Your Royal Highness--
[06:16] ---
    Call me "Majesty"!
[06:17] ---
    I am your king!
[06:19] ---
    M-My apologies, Your Majesty.
[06:22] ---
    Spoiled little shit.
[06:24] ---
    And I lack for companions.
[06:26] ---
    Why hasn't Richard joined us?
[06:29] ---
    He's close at hand.
    Earl Rivers has gone to fetch him.
[06:33] ---
    Please, Your Majesty,
    take your ease here tonight.
[06:42] ---
    Welcome, Richard!
    I've been waiting for you!
[06:45] ---
    Earl Rivers. Is this your whole party?
[06:48] ---
    It is. What of it?
[06:50] ---
    He's supposed to have an army.
    What's the meaning of this?
[06:55] ---
    Where is the Prince of Wales?
[06:57] ---
    Pardon my saying so, but you
    appear too few for his guard.
[07:01] ---
    Now, let us rest from our travels!
[07:05] ---
    I was certain that you would come!
[07:07] ---
    I take it you've brought
    these forces to defend us?
[07:13] ---
    Oh, my dear brother-in-law!
[07:16] ---
    For the sake of His Late Majesty's repose,
[07:18] ---
    let us join hands in support
    of our new sovereign!
[07:22] ---
    Have some wine.
[07:23] ---
    We shall both enjoy ourselves this night!
[07:31] ---
    The earl seems to have drunk too much.
    Bear him to his chambers.
[07:36] ---
    I'll retire as well.
[07:39] ---
    It appears your master's
    fears were unfounded.
[07:43] ---
    I hope so, but I'm not so sure.
[07:48] ---
    "Join hands in support
    of our new sovereign"?
[07:51] ---
    I desire stability for
    the Royal Family of York.
[07:54] ---
    I even sacrificed George to secure it.
[07:59] ---
    That day, why did my father
    decide to become king?
[08:04] ---
    A light that I can wish
    for but never obtain.
[08:10] ---
    Who goes there?!
[08:12] ---
    A thief?
[08:17] ---
    I suggest you keep quiet.
[08:19] ---
    If the truth about your body gets out,
    you'll burn at the stake.
[08:24] ---
    Who are you?
[08:26] ---
    Forgotten, have you?
    I remember you clear as day.
[08:32] ---
    In an abandoned shack in the woods
[08:35] ---
    was a child in a dirty cloak
    and ill-fitting chain mail.
[08:38] ---
    And beneath it lay...
[08:42] ---
    ...a demon's body.
[08:44] ---
    It can't be! You were there?
[08:47] ---
    You must think your soldiers
    will keep you safe.
[08:51] ---
    Well, I've got an army on my side too.
[08:55] ---
    Isn't that right,
[08:56] ---
    Your Grace, the Duke of Buckingham?
[08:58] ---
    Buckingham?!
[09:00] ---
    Won't you deny this man's ravings?
[09:06] ---
    What are you after?!
[09:10] ---
    Do it.
[09:16] ---
    Look. This proves he's a demon.
[09:26] ---
    I wasn't convinced until
    I saw with my own eyes.
[09:29] ---
    Now do you get it?
[09:31] ---
    He's a demon, sent into the royal
    family to bring England to ruin!
[09:36] ---
    It's strange. I feel nothing.
[09:39] ---
    This is a natural outcome.
[09:42] ---
    Light
[09:43] ---
    will never shine on a demon.
[09:47] ---
    I knew God was watching over me.
[09:50] ---
    Now, where's the title and gold
    you promised me, Your Grace?!
[09:54] ---
    I'll grant your wish.
[10:02] ---
    What is this about?
[10:04] ---
    Any further conversation would
    lower the value of my soul.
[10:09] ---
    Are you going to execute me?
[10:12] ---
    Earl Rivers will arrest you
    for treason at dawn.
[10:17] ---
    The Woodvilles have no intention
    of sharing power with you.
[10:21] ---
    And with this body,
    you're hardly "worthy" of the crown.
[10:26] ---
    I see.
[10:29] ---
    Why did you hide it from me?
[10:31] ---
    Did you think the knowledge
    would make me despair?
[10:35] ---
    Did you fear to lose me?
[10:39] ---
    You?
[10:40] ---
    Yes. When we first met,
    I took you for a woman.
[10:44] ---
    And my imagination was correct.
[10:46] ---
    Stop! I'm--
[10:47] ---
    A man? True, you are that.
[10:51] ---
    But has your "womanhood" ever known love?
[10:54] ---
    You've always lived with
    your true self hidden.
[10:58] ---
    I can tell.
[11:00] ---
    We're two of a kind.
[11:04] ---
    If you offer your hidden self to me,
    I'll be the partner of a demon.
[11:11] ---
    Demon.
[11:12] ---
    Demon.
[11:13] ---
    Bloodstained demon...
[11:15] ---
    Who defied...
[11:16] ---
    ...the will of God.
[11:18] ---
    Richard, this is your last chance.
[11:20] ---
    Will you seize your desire,
    or perish empty-handed?
[11:27] ---
    Come.
[11:30] ---
    Say it. What do you truly want?
[11:34] ---
    Admit that you want
    what you've always desired!
[11:40] ---
    I want...
[11:43] ---
    What do you want?
[11:46] ---
    I want...
[11:47] ---
    I want the crown!
[11:51] ---
    I'll give you the crown.
[11:56] ---
    Remember this pain.
[11:59] ---
    It's the seal of our pact.
[12:02] ---
    The pain of our mutual sin.
[12:06] ---
    I prayed and wished, but the voices
    of my curse never faded.
[12:12] ---
    If the lost warmth I've foolishly
    clung to can never be mine again,
[12:18] ---
    if it will allow me to escape destiny...
[12:23] ---
    I'll become a demon.
[12:36] ---
    Are you awake?
[12:39] ---
    I've had fresh clothes prepared for you.
[12:42] ---
    I'll help you dress.
[12:45] ---
    The Woodvilles believe
    that I've betrayed you.
[12:49] ---
    Your Grace.
[12:51] ---
    Don't worry. Last night,
[12:56] ---
    I carried Richard to bed.
[13:00] ---
    Now, Rivers must be dreaming
    of himself on the throne about now.
[13:11] ---
    Good morning, Earl Rivers.
[13:14] ---
    Goodness. I drank too much
    last night to put him off his guard.
[13:18] ---
    Now, is all as we planned?
[13:20] ---
    Naturally.
[13:23] ---
    This will make me the
    mightiest man in England!
[13:26] ---
    I'll be kinglier than the king!
[13:30] ---
    Anthony Woodville, Earl Rivers,
    commands you in the king's name!
[13:34] ---
    Seize the traitor!
[13:37] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?!
    Don't arrest me! Seize--
[13:40] ---
    Earl Rivers.
[13:42] ---
    R-Richard!
[13:44] ---
    Stop! Damn it all!
[13:45] ---
    You betrayed me, Buckingham!
[13:47] ---
    I've merely seen justice done.
[13:50] ---
    You are the traitor.
[13:53] ---
    Rivers.
[14:00] ---
    Unhand me! What's this about?!
[14:02] ---
    My mother will make you pay!
[14:04] ---
    --Imprison the rebels in my castle.
    --I said, unhand me! Let go!
[14:07] ---
    --Buckingham,
    --Don't you know who I am?!
[14:09] ---
    --we're going to collect
    His Royal Highness.
    --Take your filthy hands off me!
[14:13] ---
    The prince is here!
[14:15] ---
    It's Prince Edward--I mean, King Edward V!
[14:19] ---
    God save the king!
[14:20] ---
    God save His Royal Majesty!
[14:22] ---
    God save the king!
[14:26] ---
    At last...
[14:27] ---
    At last, the time has come!
[14:29] ---
    My blood--Woodville blood--
    will rule over the blood of York.
[14:34] ---
    John, I'll bless and avenge your death.
[14:39] ---
    Richard the sinner! You will paint
    this festival red with your blood
[14:44] ---
    without so much as setting
    foot in London again.
[14:49] ---
    Your Majesty, and my beloved younger bro--
[14:53] ---
    Mother!
[15:00] ---
    I have just returned,
[15:03] ---
    my dear sister-in-law.
[15:05] ---
    Mother!
[15:10] ---
    Richard.
[15:12] ---
    Where are my brother and Grey?
[15:15] ---
    Queen Elizabeth, I bear
    regrettable tidings on that subject.
[15:19] ---
    I wanted to hurry on to London,
[15:22] ---
    but Rivers and Grey went
    and got themselves arrested!
[15:25] ---
    Wh-What?
[15:27] ---
    They spoke honeyed words and
    concealed venom in their hearts.
[15:33] ---
    They schemed to charge me
    with crimes I did not commit.
[15:37] ---
    Impossible! Nonsense!
[15:39] ---
    He's the one who plotted rebellion!
[15:41] ---
    Guards! Seize Gloucester!
[15:45] ---
    Curse you useless lot!
[15:47] ---
    Dorset has taken leave of his
    senses! Defend His Majesty!
[15:50] ---
    What?! Damn you!
[15:53] ---
    Wait! Don't let him escape!
[15:54] ---
    Dorset.
[15:56] ---
    I don't believe it.
    He abandoned his mother and fled.
[16:01] ---
    You are safe now, Your Majesty.
[16:04] ---
    I shall purge England of all villains
    who would disturb its peace.
[16:10] ---
    Let us proceed to the palace.
[16:14] ---
    What could have happened?
[16:16] ---
    This...
[16:18] ---
    This can't be...
[16:22] ---
    The palace is now free of your enemies.
[16:26] ---
    Does Elizabeth still trust you?
[16:30] ---
    I have many ways to ensure that she does.
[16:34] ---
    She's even called me her "kingmaker."
[16:38] ---
    What, are you jealous?
[16:41] ---
    You're my kingmaker.
[16:44] ---
    Elizabeth still has her uses.
    Pretend to be her ally.
[16:49] ---
    Of course, my king.
[16:52] ---
    Your Grace.
[16:53] ---
    His Majesty summons you.
[16:56] ---
    Very well.
[17:03] ---
    Spying is a fine hobby. I'll let you
    watch to the end next time.
[17:08] ---
    I told you that I'll show no mercy
    to anyone who harms His Grace.
[17:14] ---
    But if he wishes it,
    even if it will harm him...
[17:19] ---
    I've become a demon's partner
    to grant Richard's wishes.
[17:25] ---
    Can you do as much?
[17:27] ---
    Can you stain your hands with God's blood?
[17:33] ---
    He discovered the whole plot,
[17:35] ---
    including your involvement.
[17:39] ---
    Don't you mean that
    you revealed it to him?
[17:43] ---
    Or have you been in league
    with him all along?
[17:47] ---
    Never. I have proof.
[17:50] ---
    Or should I say... a witness?
[17:55] ---
    Mother.
[17:56] ---
    Beth?!
[17:58] ---
    I asked Buckingham to help Richard.
[18:02] ---
    What?!
[18:04] ---
    I can never face him with
    a smile again because of you!
[18:08] ---
    Uncle Anthony and Grey
    only got their just deserts!
[18:11] ---
    You should be grateful that
    Buckingham still forgave you!
[18:17] ---
    Consider a wise daughter
    your greatest treasure.
[18:20] ---
    I suggest you give up open involvement
    in government and seek sanctuary.
[18:26] ---
    That will spare Richard a
    dreadful decision as well.
[18:32] ---
    I see I have no choice.
[18:35] ---
    Very well.
[18:39] ---
    In exchange, I'll take the
    younger prince with me.
[18:42] ---
    If you deny me,
    I'll take my life this instant.
[18:46] ---
    You don't want me to die yet, do you?
[18:50] ---
    As you wish,
[18:53] ---
    Your Majesty.
[18:58] ---
    Thank you for inviting me tonight.
[19:01] ---
    Our enemies are no more!
[19:03] ---
    Yes. To our king.
[19:05] ---
    To the king.
[19:10] ---
    My wine hasn't tasted
    so fine in many a night.
[19:13] ---
    All thanks to your timely
    warning, Lord Hastings.
[19:18] ---
    Think nothing of it!
    We've long been comrades in arms!
[19:23] ---
    But we can't relax yet.
[19:25] ---
    Not while that woman is the queen mother.
[19:30] ---
    Then let's send someone to watch her.
[19:32] ---
    I know just the woman: Jane!
[19:35] ---
    Your witch?
[19:37] ---
    Well, mine at the moment.
[19:39] ---
    Intercourse with a witch seems
    to bring superhuman pleasures.
[19:44] ---
    Enough to make you putty in her hands.
[19:46] ---
    Oh, no, the bond between us
    is one of simple love.
[19:52] ---
    Although I admit that its beginning
    was quite stimulating.
[19:56] ---
    I thought so. To open a tight-closed
    bud, begin with a shock.
[20:04] ---
    We can depend on Hastings's support.
[20:07] ---
    No. He supports Edward.
[20:12] ---
    Why are you upset?
[20:14] ---
    Why did you look at me that way?
[20:16] ---
    That way? What way?
[20:19] ---
    Don't tell me you thought that
[20:22] ---
    one time would be sufficient
    to purchase my soul.
[20:26] ---
    I'll undress myself.
[20:30] ---
    Lord Richard?
    Is something wrong with your left eye?
[20:34] ---
    The servants' children
    called my eyes strange.
[20:38] ---
    Even Mother always says so.
[20:41] ---
    Why am I different?
[20:44] ---
    It isn't love that I want.
[20:47] ---
    I need a pact.
[20:51] ---
    Now, grave more pain into me
    to your heart's content.
[20:55] ---
    Before the wound of our pact heals.
[20:58] ---
    My skin color is different.
    Is that strange?
[21:03] ---
    No, not at all.
[21:05] ---
    You're not strange either, Lord Richard.
[21:09] ---
    You still don't understand.
[21:12] ---
    Mere pain fades quickly.
[21:15] ---
    I told you:
[21:17] ---
    Offer your secret self to me.
[21:20] ---
    Listen, Richard. I'm about to mark you...
[21:24] ---
    I'll hide it with my hair.
[21:27] ---
    If you hide it, you won't feel sadness.
[21:32] ---
    ...with sweet suffering.
[21:37] ---
    Can you do as much?
[21:39] ---
    What can I do?
[21:41] ---
    Yes. This is fine.
[21:44] ---
    Richard, only I know the true you.
[21:49] ---
    Even pleasure becomes pain.
[21:52] ---
    In this ceremony that
    resembles love, I will be killed
[21:56] ---
    and reborn.
[22:02] ---
    Listen well, all of you.
[22:04] ---
    The weak, mad King Henry VI
[22:07] ---
    could not rule England
    without his uncle's help.
[22:11] ---
    I'm no incompetent, but this is tradition.
[22:15] ---
    Yes. That man required
    a Protector even in adulthood.
[22:22] ---
    The situation is different.
[22:24] ---
    Now, my lords, I trust that we are agreed?
[22:26] ---
    What choice is there with Rivers gone?
[22:29] ---
    No one who objects would
    be here in the palace.
[22:33] ---
    Richard, Duke of Gloucester,
    we name you our Lord Protector.
[22:38] ---
    I humbly accept.
[22:46] ---
    The light that my father
    almost seized back then.
[22:50] ---
    This is a transient light.
[22:54] ---
    Back then, we were but powerless
    children dreaming of the future.
[23:00] ---
    A crowd stood between us and the crown.
