**[00:03] ---**
Margaret, the Lancastrian queen, has
raised troops and conquered the north.
**[00:09] ---**
I will march north and settle
matters with her myself.
**[00:16] ---**
Edward, take charge of the Welsh border.
**[00:19] ---**
Yes, Father!
**[00:21] ---**
Earl of Warwick, defend London for me.
**[00:24] ---**
Yes, Majesty.
**[00:27] ---**
Father!
**[00:28] ---**
Take me with you! I won't be a burden!
**[00:37] ---**
Richard.
**[00:39] ---**
Father.
**[00:40] ---**
My love!
**[00:42] ---**
Please, leave me Richard!
**[00:45] ---**
Don't take my little Richard from me!
**[00:50] ---**
I know he will go off to war someday,
**[00:53] ---**
but he is still too delicate now.
He needs his mother.
**[00:58] ---**
Please! Please have pity on
a foolish woman's whim!
**[01:06] ---**
Richard, I won't be gone long.
**[01:10] ---**
Guard your mother until I return.
**[01:18] ---**
Father.
**[01:23] ---**
I'll never let you go to him.
**[01:27] ---**
Your existence will be the death of him.
**[01:30] ---**
Your words become curses
that bring others to ruin.
**[01:34] ---**
You filthy demon child!
**[01:37] ---**
You cannot live without
devouring the souls of others!
**[01:40] ---**
O Lord, I will guard them
all from this devil.
**[01:45] ---**
That shall be my penance
for giving birth to him!
**[01:56] ---**
York of the white rose.
**[01:58] ---**
Lancaster of the red rose.
**[02:01] ---**
These royal houses with roses for
their crests battled for the throne.
**[02:07] ---**
People call their strife
the "Wars of the Roses."
**[03:49] ---**
The Lancastrian stronghold is under our
noses! Keep your swords in hand!
**[03:54] ---**
Fortune favors us!
**[04:05] ---**
This can't be all of Margaret's forces.
**[04:08] ---**
They must have run in fear of our army.
**[04:12] ---**
Something's not right.
How can our enemy number so few?
**[04:26] ---**
It's almost Christmas, huh?
**[04:29] ---**
I guess a big family celebration
is out of the question, considering.
**[04:35] ---**
Say, Mother, where has Richard gone?
**[04:41] ---**
I sent him to a safe place.
**[04:44] ---**
To the Tower.
**[04:47] ---**
Are there prisoners in the Tower?
Apart from me, I mean.
**[04:50] ---**
Prisoners? Goodness, no!
There are only noble personages here.
**[04:55] ---**
Noble prisoners, then.
**[04:59] ---**
Of course.
**[05:00] ---**
Henry must be here.
**[05:02] ---**
If I weren't locked up,
I'd kill him at once
**[05:06] ---**
and race to my father's side
with his head!
**[05:09] ---**
York was quite a disappointment.
**[05:12] ---**
Is this all he amounts to
without Warwick and Edward?
**[05:16] ---**
Your Majesty! We will secure your escape!
**[05:18] ---**
What king would sacrifice his men
to save only his own skin?
**[05:22] ---**
But Your Majesty!
**[05:24] ---**
I swore an oath to stand my ground.
It's a crown or an honorable death for me!
**[05:38] ---**
Lancaster!
**[05:46] ---**
A king...
**[05:48] ---**
A king stands firm! He never retreats!
**[05:54] ---**
I swore it by my name!
**[06:00] ---**
I swore it to you, Richard!
**[06:08] ---**
Richard, everyone who
passes under this tree
**[06:12] ---**
must kiss whoever is
near them at the time.
**[06:16] ---**
Is that true?
**[06:18] ---**
So, even Mother won't
get mad if I kiss her?
**[06:20] ---**
Of course she won't!
**[06:22] ---**
But the rule is that you must
do it at least 12 times,
**[06:25] ---**
so kiss me first.
**[06:27] ---**
Father!
**[06:30] ---**
Father!
**[06:38] ---**
Richard?
**[06:40] ---**
Oh, good. You're still alive.
**[06:44] ---**
Hurry up and kill me.
I have only moments of life left.
**[06:49] ---**
No, Your Majesty.
**[06:50] ---**
I kept you alive to disgrace you.
**[06:55] ---**
Now, put this on. I worked hard
to weave it specially for you.
**[06:59] ---**
Look, Your Majesty.
It's the "crown" you so longed for.
**[07:10] ---**
Dear me.
**[07:12] ---**
How it becomes you!
**[07:14] ---**
Come, gentlemen! Salute him!
**[07:19] ---**
This isn't the end.
**[07:21] ---**
You must entertain me more before you die,
**[07:26] ---**
York.
**[07:30] ---**
Go on! Keep struggling!
Lose your composure!
**[07:32] ---**
My wrath won't be sated until
the world sees your disgrace!
**[07:37] ---**
Even if I die, wings of vengeance
**[07:41] ---**
will rise again from my ashes.
**[07:45] ---**
So, that hope is the source
of your noble bearing.
**[07:49] ---**
I've heard the stories.
**[07:51] ---**
Edward the womanizer.
George the simpleton.
**[07:55] ---**
And then there's your youngest.
**[07:58] ---**
I hear you lavish your affections
on that little boy most of all.
**[08:03] ---**
What are you scheming?
**[08:04] ---**
"Scheming"? Perish the thought.
**[08:07] ---**
I merely wanted you to have this
in your last moments, Your Majesty.
**[08:13] ---**
Here you are.
**[08:15] ---**
Take a good look, York.
**[08:17] ---**
I wrung the blood that stains this cloth
from your beloved youngest son's heart.
**[08:24] ---**
Richard!
**[08:29] ---**
Go on. Wipe your tears with it.
**[08:54] ---**
Yes! That's the look I wanted!
**[08:55] ---**
I wanted to see your handsome
face twisted in despair!
**[08:59] ---**
Poor, pitiful York!
**[09:02] ---**
All right, I've had my fun.
**[09:07] ---**
Now, despair and die.
**[09:13] ---**
Your Lordship, we can't hold out here!
**[09:16] ---**
Send the rearguard south!
I'll lead the main force!
**[09:19] ---**
Hold London at any cost!
**[09:22] ---**
Prince Edward! It appears that they've
already moved His Majesty, King Henry.
**[09:32] ---**
My queen,
**[09:33] ---**
I recaptured King Henry in transit
and took him under my protection.
**[09:39] ---**
Well done.
**[09:40] ---**
Take all that your hearts desire!
**[09:43] ---**
We will continue our advance.
**[09:46] ---**
Next time, I'll wipe York's head
with his son's *real* blood.
**[10:01] ---**
Father.
**[10:08] ---**
Where am I?! What are you doing here?!
**[10:11] ---**
This is a Lancastrian subject's house,
**[10:14] ---**
and you're a prisoner in my custody.
**[10:16] ---**
We'll stay here temporarily until
I can join my mother's army.
**[10:20] ---**
Margaret's army? You mean
the Lancastrians are advancing?
**[10:25] ---**
You don't know anything?
**[10:27] ---**
Not even that your father is--
**[10:31] ---**
What about my father?!
Did something happen to him?!
**[10:34] ---**
Your father is in the city of York.
It's too far to go alone.
**[10:39] ---**
I wouldn't mind taking you there,
**[10:42] ---**
if you'll agree to stay with me.
**[10:44] ---**
What should I stay with
a Lancastrian for?!
**[10:47] ---**
If I go to see my father, I'll do it
with my mother and brother.
**[10:52] ---**
I hear that your mother already took
your brother and fled, Richard.
**[10:57] ---**
They abandoned you.
**[11:05] ---**
Mother?
**[11:12] ---**
It wouldn't be the first time
I was abandoned.
**[11:20] ---**
Hang on! Our troops will
capture this area soon!
**[11:24] ---**
Why stop me?
**[11:25] ---**
I've been abandoned; that makes
me worthless as a hostage.
**[11:29] ---**
Well...
**[11:31] ---**
I don't know why either,
**[11:33] ---**
b-but I think it's because you're a woman!
**[11:37] ---**
I'm not a woman.
**[11:39] ---**
My father called me his son.
**[11:42] ---**
He named me "Richard."
**[11:54] ---**
Damn it. Which way should I go?
**[11:57] ---**
I have to reach Father soon!
**[11:59] ---**
Hey.
**[12:01] ---**
What are you doing there?
**[12:03] ---**
We Lancastrians have occupied this town.
**[12:11] ---**
Most of the townsfolk have fled.
**[12:15] ---**
Think. Think, Richard.
**[12:18] ---**
It's a long way to York.
**[12:20] ---**
You need a horse.
**[12:21] ---**
If the Lancastrians have taken the town,
then getting out won't be easy.
**[12:26] ---**
You don't know anything?
**[12:28] ---**
Not even that your father is--
**[12:31] ---**
I have to reach Father soon!
**[12:35] ---**
Are you really from this town?
**[12:40] ---**
Father!
**[12:42] ---**
I need to reach you soon!
**[12:58] ---**
Come off already, damn it!
**[13:00] ---**
Hurry up and come off!
**[13:22] ---**
A wife and children.
**[13:32] ---**
He's these children's father...
**[13:36] ---**
...and I killed him.
**[14:00] ---**
Father!
**[14:05] ---**
Who's that over there?
**[14:10] ---**
O Lord! Richard!
**[14:13] ---**
Is it really you?
**[14:20] ---**
I'm so glad.
**[14:22] ---**
I thought I'd never see you again.
**[14:24] ---**
Why?
**[14:26] ---**
Why did you have to turn up
at a time like this?!
**[14:30] ---**
What have you been doing all this time?
What brings you here?
**[14:34] ---**
Stay back!
**[14:36] ---**
Stay back!
**[14:37] ---**
All right.
**[14:39] ---**
In that case, Richard, you come to me.
**[14:42] ---**
I've been longing to see you.
**[14:45] ---**
Who asked you?
**[14:48] ---**
I made up my mind to go it alone.
**[14:52] ---**
All alone.
**[14:53] ---**
I have to go alone, and yet...!
**[14:56] ---**
Wait! Richard!
**[14:59] ---**
Let go of me! I don't have time for your--
**[15:01] ---**
I want to go with you!
**[15:03] ---**
Won't you take me along?!
**[15:05] ---**
You?
**[15:08] ---**
What... What do you want
to come with me for?
**[15:11] ---**
I want to be with you.
**[15:13] ---**
When I'm with you,
I feel as though I can be myself.
**[15:17] ---**
That's why I want to go back
to that forest with you.
**[15:21] ---**
Then, I want to spend every day tending
sheep and obeying the church bells.
**[15:28] ---**
I want to live in peace and quiet.
**[15:31] ---**
Wouldn't a life like that spare
you from getting hurt like this?
**[15:36] ---**
Hurt?
**[15:40] ---**
I'm not hurt at all.
**[15:42] ---**
This is...
**[15:44] ---**
...someone else's blood.
**[15:48] ---**
I'm not like you.
**[15:50] ---**
If you're not hurt,
**[15:53] ---**
then why are you crying?
**[15:55] ---**
I...
**[15:57] ---**
I don't need anyone.
**[16:01] ---**
Richard!
**[16:03] ---**
Your Majesty!
**[16:06] ---**
I've been looking for you.
**[16:08] ---**
Let us return to our London together.
**[16:14] ---**
My father is waiting for me.
**[16:19] ---**
He's waiting for me.
**[16:23] ---**
So, our unit is the only one left.
**[16:26] ---**
Fighting on won't do us much good
now that the main force is gone.
**[16:29] ---**
It's too soon to give up!
**[16:31] ---**
Edward's forces are coming to our aid!
**[16:34] ---**
Whatever happens,
we must hold out until he arrives!
**[16:46] ---**
I won't let His Majesty's dream--
*my* dream--come to an end yet!
**[16:54] ---**
Father.
**[17:03] ---**
Which road will take me to York?
**[17:06] ---**
It's that way, direction-wise.
**[17:09] ---**
Hey.
**[17:10] ---**
Are you all right? You don't look well,
and York's a long way off.
**[17:14] ---**
I don't have time to rest.
**[17:17] ---**
Is that so?
**[17:18] ---**
Watch out for robbers, then.
**[17:24] ---**
Behold, Your Majesty.
**[17:27] ---**
Could anything be more delightful?
**[17:30] ---**
It's a shame that Warwick's
corpse is lacking,
**[17:33] ---**
but York, who tried to
steal your crown, is--
**[17:35] ---**
I don't want to hear about that!
**[17:37] ---**
Oh, how horrible!
**[17:39] ---**
I made a covenant with the Duke of York,
**[17:42] ---**
and now it's come to this!
**[17:47] ---**
That's true, isn't it, Your Majesty?
**[17:50] ---**
You ceded the throne to York and his sons.
**[17:55] ---**
Tell me, Your Majesty:
**[17:57] ---**
What outrage cost your son his place
in the line of succession?
**[18:02] ---**
Tell him in person.
**[18:05] ---**
Mother!
**[18:06] ---**
Father would never disinherit me.
**[18:09] ---**
Everyone knows that the
king's son will be the next king!
**[18:13] ---**
Of course.
**[18:14] ---**
Even the lowliest beast
cares for its young.
**[18:18] ---**
That's why the sight of
enemies frightens them.
**[18:21] ---**
Now, look! Look, Henry!
**[18:23] ---**
Look at the soldiers you killed!
At the son you abandoned!
**[18:27] ---**
It's not my fault! I couldn't help it!
**[18:30] ---**
I couldn't help it!
**[18:32] ---**
I just didn't want anyone to die!
**[18:36] ---**
Forgive me! Forgive me!
**[18:40] ---**
What a cowardly, contemptible,
shameless king.
**[18:44] ---**
I wish that I had never become your wife.
**[18:48] ---**
Oh, my darling William.
**[18:52] ---**
You no longer have a body to embrace,
**[18:54] ---**
and you took my heart with you to heaven.
**[18:58] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[19:00] ---**
Forgive me, York.
**[19:03] ---**
Forgive me. Forgive me.
**[19:06] ---**
Damn. I drove the horse too hard.
**[19:18] ---**
I hate forests at night.
**[19:47] ---**
The Lancastrians must have
ransacked this house.
**[19:53] ---**
Father, I hope that you
have hot food to eat.
**[20:01] ---**
Is someone there?
**[20:08] ---**
A deserter from the
Lancastrian army, are you?
**[20:12] ---**
He'll make a perfect mark.
Hurry up and strip him down.
**[20:16] ---**
Don't try anything, kid!
**[20:18] ---**
You sons of bitches did
a number on our village!
**[20:22] ---**
Hey, this brat's a woman.
**[20:25] ---**
We're in luck.
**[20:26] ---**
No.
**[20:27] ---**
I'm not a woman!
**[20:29] ---**
Stop! Stop!
**[20:31] ---**
Father!
**[20:33] ---**
What is this brat?
**[20:41] ---**
I'm not a woman.
**[20:44] ---**
Father, save me!
**[20:46] ---**
Demon child! Demon child!
**[20:49] ---**
You're wrong!
**[20:50] ---**
I'm not a demon child!
**[20:52] ---**
I'm my father's son!
**[20:55] ---**
Only my father will save me
from the darkness.
**[21:23] ---**
Father!
**[21:40] ---**
Father.
**[21:44] ---**
My light.
