[00:03] ---
    All begins and ends.
[00:06] ---
    Within that cycle was I born,
    unlooked for.
[00:11] ---
    Who am I?
[00:13] ---
    As of today, you're James Tyrrell.
[00:17] ---
    Bring everyone salvation.
[00:21] ---
    Where is James Tyrrell?
[00:24] ---
    Tyrrell's a shepherd, sir.
[00:26] ---
    We only give him room
    and board for his work.
[00:31] ---
    Then tell the shepherd this:
[00:33] ---
    The future King Richard is his new master.
[00:40] ---
    The living are punished.
[00:44] ---
    We live today that we might perish.
[00:51] ---
    York of the white rose.
[00:53] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[00:56] ---
    These royal houses with roses for
    their crests battled for the throne.
[01:02] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[02:42] ---
    Are you cold?
[02:43] ---
    I'm fine as long as I have wine.
[02:46] ---
    But this tastes dreadful.
[02:48] ---
    We should have made a hot soup.
[02:54] ---
    Forget about that time.
[03:00] ---
    Having you with me is enough.
[03:08] ---
    You're shaking.
[03:10] ---
    Let me bear your darkness
    and past with you.
[03:14] ---
    I'm your other half.
[03:18] ---
    I can't help but remember.
[03:23] ---
    Remember the man who killed my heart.
[03:28] ---
    The man I killed.
[03:35] ---
    You once told me that you
    killed someone you loved.
[03:40] ---
    Yes. I loved him.
[03:44] ---
    But that's because I didn't know.
[03:48] ---
    He was a foe of York
    and my father's killer:
[03:53] ---
    the Lancastrian king!
[03:56] ---
    I was young then. I found unease
    and loneliness hard to bear.
[04:03] ---
    He was my salvation.
[04:06] ---
    He was innocent as a child my own age
[04:09] ---
    and a grown man, warm as a father.
[04:14] ---
    But in the end... he couldn't love me.
[04:19] ---
    I thought my wounds were gone,
[04:22] ---
    but the more fulfilled I am,
    the wider they open.
[04:26] ---
    So I can't help thinking that one day
[04:30] ---
    you'll do the same.
[04:35] ---
    Richard.
[04:37] ---
    Call to me.
[04:39] ---
    Say my name.
[04:44] ---
    Yes.
[04:46] ---
    Memories are merely timeworn corpses.
[04:51] ---
    Henry.
[04:55] ---
    Henry...
[04:59] ---
    Why?
[05:00] ---
    Why do I know this sound?
[05:08] ---
    What? What?
[05:11] ---
    What's come over me?
[05:13] ---
    It won't stop.
[05:16] ---
    When I pose as a shepherd
    or feel the heat of blood
[05:20] ---
    my dim existence seemed a little brighter.
[05:26] ---
    The Duke of Buckingham
    asked you to save someone.
[05:31] ---
    His name is...
[05:32] ---
    ...George Plantagenet.
[05:35] ---
    King Edward's little brother.
[05:43] ---
    But perhaps, since before I was born,
[05:48] ---
    I've always, always...
[05:53] ---
    I too want to love someone.
[05:58] ---
    What?
[06:00] ---
    I'll go look.
[06:03] ---
    Who--
[06:06] ---
    Where have I seen this man before?
[06:10] ---
    The Lancastrian king!
[06:13] ---
    That's it. This is no mere resemblance.
[06:17] ---
    He looks identical!
[06:19] ---
    Name yourself!
[06:21] ---
    The man who found me
    called me James Tyrrell.
[06:25] ---
    James Tyrrell!
[06:27] ---
    I've been watching all along.
[06:29] ---
    The way he opens his heart
    to you is beautiful.
[06:35] ---
    I want to join you in that radiance.
[06:41] ---
    If you leave at once,
    I promise to grant your wish later.
[06:46] ---
    If you understand, go!
[06:57] ---
    Honestly. There's such a thing
    as being too kind to commoners.
[07:01] ---
    You need to be stern with them.
[07:03] ---
    Royalty must--
[07:05] ---
    B-By the way, Beth,
    what brings you to the palace?
[07:08] ---
    I got an invitation.
[07:10] ---
    Uncle Richard must have realized that
    I could safely join in a masquerade.
[07:17] ---
    What about Aunt Elizabeth?
[07:19] ---
    She gave me permission,
    if you can believe it.
[07:23] ---
    God has not yet forsaken us.
[07:28] ---
    I'll prepare a dress for you
    somehow, so go in style.
[07:31] ---
    But I thought you couldn't
    stand Uncle Richard.
[07:36] ---
    Your life is your own.
[07:39] ---
    A mother shares her daughter's happiness.
[07:46] ---
    Knowing my mother, I'm sure
    she's scheming something.
[07:51] ---
    Even so...
[07:54] ---
    ...I wanted to see you all.
[08:00] ---
    But I should really leave
    before I'm recognized.
[08:07] ---
    I want to dance more.
[08:10] ---
    Would you dance with us too?
[08:16] ---
    Sure!
[08:20] ---
    You went too far.
[08:22] ---
    When do you mean?
[08:23] ---
    The play! Tonight! All of it!
[08:26] ---
    Oh, but it was just so fun that--
[08:28] ---
    You'll endanger my position if
    you make yourself conspicuous!
[08:32] ---
    But it seems we have
    a full cast of actors now.
[08:36] ---
    Actors?
[08:37] ---
    Yes.
[08:38] ---
    And a script ending in a checkmate.
[08:41] ---
    Dad.
[08:42] ---
    "Dad"?!
[08:45] ---
    What gives you the right to call me that?
[08:47] ---
    Oh, please. We've known
    the feel of the same hole.
[08:53] ---
    You're my wife's son, not mine!
[08:56] ---
    Leave me! I want no more
    to do with rebels!
[09:01] ---
    I suppose you wouldn't want
    a rebel to call you "dad."
[09:05] ---
    But how will you feel once I'm king?
[09:09] ---
    What do you mean?!
[09:12] ---
    Well then, "Father," farewell.
[09:16] ---
    See you in the palace.
[09:21] ---
    I brought you clothes.
[09:23] ---
    Allow me.
[09:30] ---
    And now the night is over.
[09:33] ---
    We're a king and a duke again.
[09:36] ---
    Yes, Your Royal Majesty.
[09:42] ---
    Henry!
[09:53] ---
    Ugh. I wish the party would never end.
[09:57] ---
    Don't be silly. It was fun, though.
[10:01] ---
    Who do you think that beautiful lady was?
[10:04] ---
    Did you see the child dressed as a cat?
[10:09] ---
    A charming little boy?
[10:11] ---
    I danced with him!
[10:13] ---
    Oh? You saw his face, then.
[10:16] ---
    That was His Majesty's only son, Edward.
[10:21] ---
    I think he did look like the queen!
[10:23] ---
    No one recognizes him because
    he hasn't been to London much.
[10:28] ---
    His Majesty probably wanted to hide him.
[10:31] ---
    After all,
[10:33] ---
    the boy looks nothing like the king.
[10:37] ---
    Ow.
[10:39] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[10:44] ---
    Prince Edward?
[10:46] ---
    I hear that my father loved to fight.
[10:52] ---
    I'm no good at it.
[10:54] ---
    I'd rather study.
[10:58] ---
    Troubled times forced him to take up arms.
[11:02] ---
    Is something worrying you?
[11:04] ---
    I was told that I look
    nothing like my father.
[11:10] ---
    That I'm not his son.
[11:15] ---
    Edward.
[11:17] ---
    Father.
[11:19] ---
    Tell me about it.
[11:22] ---
    The first time was at the banquet.
    I was only startled then.
[11:28] ---
    But the next morning...
[11:30] ---
    It's true. Just look at his hair.
[11:33] ---
    I sense no royal blood in him.
[11:35] ---
    So, a cuckoo's child caused
    their estrangement.
[11:39] ---
    Everyone whispered strange
    things when they saw me.
[11:43] ---
    They've never been an affectionate couple.
[11:46] ---
    Is that all?
[11:48] ---
    Don't you all remember that rumor?
[11:52] ---
    "Demon."
[11:55] ---
    They called you a demon, Father.
[11:58] ---
    I couldn't argue back.
[12:02] ---
    I hated it,
[12:04] ---
    but I was too frightened to speak.
[12:06] ---
    I'm a weakling, so I need to get stronger.
[12:12] ---
    For a moment, I imagined
[12:15] ---
    this child turning his back
    on me like my mother did.
[12:22] ---
    What a pretty garden.
[12:24] ---
    When I was your age,
    I never once admired a flower.
[12:31] ---
    The white rose was an oath of vengeance.
[12:34] ---
    The red rose was proof of shed blood.
[12:38] ---
    But now they all seem beautiful.
[12:43] ---
    I needn't seek meaning in them;
    they're simply there.
[12:50] ---
    Before I knew it, I found them dear to me.
[12:58] ---
    I didn't resemble my father either.
[13:02] ---
    But no one shared a stronger
    bond than we did.
[13:08] ---
    Is this feeling truly hypocrisy or pity?
[13:13] ---
    Gorgeous, dashing, and kind.
[13:17] ---
    Father!
[13:20] ---
    You are my light!
[13:23] ---
    I may not know the true nature of love,
[13:27] ---
    but I'm certain that I feel it now.
[13:31] ---
    Edward, my son.
[13:35] ---
    By your mere presence, you...
[13:42] ---
    Buckingham, I trust you realize
    why I summoned you.
[13:46] ---
    Yes. The absurd rumors running
    rampant in the palace.
[13:50] ---
    No matter how often I suppress them,
    they return like cursed ghosts.
[13:56] ---
    These rumors are fatal to a king.
[13:59] ---
    Edward is shaken as well.
[14:03] ---
    I sense intent behind
    these rumors' spread.
[14:07] ---
    I'll take measures at once,
    and so should Your Majesty.
[14:11] ---
    Such as?
[14:13] ---
    Even if we find the culprit,
    the threat will return
[14:16] ---
    until we cut it off at the source.
[14:19] ---
    The best way to dispel
    these untoward rumors
[14:24] ---
    is for the queen to bear
    you a child at once.
[14:29] ---
    That isn't...
[14:30] ---
    Your Majesty, I speak
    as your loyal retainer.
[14:34] ---
    But what if she rejects me?
[14:39] ---
    Rejects this body of mine?
[14:41] ---
    Unthinkable. She knows her duty as queen.
[14:46] ---
    --She must realize--
    --She doesn't know.
[14:49] ---
    She doesn't know me.
[14:53] ---
    What about you?
[14:55] ---
    Everything.
[14:57] ---
    What do you mean?
[15:00] ---
    I've never made love to her.
[15:04] ---
    Edward isn't my son by blood.
[15:10] ---
    You swore
[15:13] ---
    to keep no secrets.
[15:15] ---
    Buckingham.
[15:16] ---
    Disinherit him.
[15:18] ---
    Have you forgotten that we
    condemned Edward V as illegitimate?
[15:24] ---
    If he is not of your blood, you must--
[15:26] ---
    His blood is royal.
[15:29] ---
    His father was King Henry's son.
[15:31] ---
    The Lancastrian prince?!
[15:33] ---
    He's not your son and of
    our enemies' bloodline?!
[15:37] ---
    Even your brother's sons would be better!
[15:40] ---
    This is no distant memory!
[15:42] ---
    You must see what a
    threat this secret poses
[15:46] ---
    to King Richard III!
[15:52] ---
    I will protect Edward.
[15:55] ---
    That child is my son.
[16:01] ---
    I always had suspicions...
[16:06] ---
    ...but I trusted you.
[16:11] ---
    Henry.
[16:14] ---
    Why? Why?
[16:17] ---
    The child of King Henry's son?
[16:20] ---
    Don't give in to emotion.
    Think what you ought to do.
[16:23] ---
    There must be a solution.
[16:29] ---
    I've been waiting, Henry.
[16:31] ---
    Why here, of all places?
[16:33] ---
    I have no time to indulge you now.
[16:36] ---
    Begone!
[16:37] ---
    No. You promised me.
[16:40] ---
    Return to where you belong!
[16:42] ---
    No. I won't leave until you tell me.
[16:45] ---
    How can I love people?
[16:48] ---
    Like you love that person
    and that person loves you.
[16:53] ---
    Why would you want to know love?
[16:57] ---
    Once you do, you can never go back.
[17:00] ---
    I thought I need only
    cut a path through briars.
[17:04] ---
    I feared nothing then, but no more.
[17:08] ---
    My feelings distract me
    even at this moment.
[17:13] ---
    Why? Why?
[17:16] ---
    What did I give up on you for?
[17:21] ---
    Explain yourself!
[17:23] ---
    You looked sad.
[17:25] ---
    Don't treat me like a weakling!
[17:28] ---
    But I want to save miserable people.
[17:31] ---
    The strong don't seek my salvation.
[17:34] ---
    That's right. I don't need you!
[17:39] ---
    But what of Richard?
[17:41] ---
    Richard said he'd protect
    the Lancastrian boy.
[17:45] ---
    The blood of Henry VI!
[17:49] ---
    Edward's sons would be better, he says?
[17:53] ---
    Why?
[17:54] ---
    We swore to shoulder my darkness and
    past together. To be halves of one whole.
[18:05] ---
    What if...
[18:07] ---
    What if he never returns?
[18:11] ---
    What if I've lost him?
[18:15] ---
    That's impossible.
[18:18] ---
    Calm down.
[18:19] ---
    We can resolve a trifle
    like this soon enough.
[18:22] ---
    He only left to take measures.
[18:24] ---
    Yes. He's my other half.
[18:27] ---
    He'll soon be--
[18:28] ---
    Buckingham!
[18:31] ---
    It's me, Richard.
[18:33] ---
    Anne.
[18:34] ---
    My lady's maids asked to see
    acrobatics at tonight's dinner.
[18:39] ---
    May I call for jesters?
[18:41] ---
    Yes. I don't mind.
[18:43] ---
    Richard, you look ill.
[18:47] ---
    I lost sight of you partway
    through the banquet,
[18:51] ---
    but I see you partied through the night.
[18:55] ---
    You were truly beautiful that night.
[19:00] ---
    Richard, let me see to
    the dinner arrangements.
[19:04] ---
    I'm sure that Edward
    will like jesters too.
[19:11] ---
    I meant to ask him
[19:14] ---
    who the devil that abducted
    the beauty was.
[19:19] ---
    But that look on Richard's face...
[19:23] ---
    What am I doing?
    I can't let this shake me.
[19:27] ---
    I have everything I wished for right here.
[19:37] ---
    Catesby, where's Buckingham?
[19:41] ---
    He will be dining with a guest
    in his chambers tonight.
[19:47] ---
    I see.
[19:49] ---
    Father, may I ask you for something?
[19:52] ---
    Yes. What?
[19:54] ---
    I'd like you to bring Beth
    back to the palace.
[19:59] ---
    Disinherit him.
[20:01] ---
    She seemed so happy dancing
    with everyone at the party.
[20:07] ---
    He wants me to abandon this child?
[20:10] ---
    Absurd.
[20:12] ---
    There must be another way.
[20:14] ---
    No matter how many briars bar my path.
[20:17] ---
    That's right. You even made
    this crown worthwhile.
[20:22] ---
    Familiar unease and fear
    crawled up from the darkness,
[20:26] ---
    forming a dark pool in my heart
    no matter how I tried to stop it.
[20:31] ---
    Father?
[20:33] ---
    Do as you please.
[20:35] ---
    Do you mean it?
[20:37] ---
    Richard?
[20:38] ---
    Don't mind me. I'll be right back.
[20:45] ---
    Where are you? Hurry to my side,
[20:49] ---
    Henry!
[20:58] ---
    Jesters and more food than they can eat!
[21:02] ---
    It must be nice to be king!
[21:04] ---
    And the former king sits
    reading in an animal pen.
[21:07] ---
    Be quiet and dream of Mom,
    you illiterate baby.
[21:11] ---
    "I miss you, Mommy!
    Take me away from here!"
[21:16] ---
    I only said that once! In my sleep!
[21:18] ---
    Stop harping on about it!
[21:21] ---
    He's useless! He was just born sooner!
[21:24] ---
    Being stuck in here with him is hell.
[21:28] ---
    Really, when will we be
    able to leave this place?
[21:31] ---
    Richard had better not
    leave us here forever.
[21:38] ---
    Your Majesty,
[21:40] ---
    King Edward V.
[21:44] ---
    Have no fear.
[21:46] ---
    I've come to save you.
