[00:01] ---
    Your Majesty,
[00:03] ---
    King Edward V.
[00:06] ---
    Have no fear.
[00:09] ---
    I've come to save you.
[00:12] ---
    Who are you?!
[00:14] ---
    You have nothing to fear from me.
[00:17] ---
    Look: I've brought you sweet treats.
[00:21] ---
    Did my mother send you?
[00:23] ---
    The true king has many allies.
[00:27] ---
    As we speak, the palace is abuzz with
    talk that Richard's son is illegitimate.
[00:32] ---
    Support for him has been on
    the wane since his accession.
[00:36] ---
    Everyone is saying that, after all,
    Edward V was the rightful king.
[00:44] ---
    It took those fools long
    enough to realize.
[00:48] ---
    The palace eagerly awaits
    Your Majesty's return.
[00:53] ---
    Now go, before the guards notice.
[00:57] ---
    Make haste. Your supporters
    await you at the gate.
[01:01] ---
    Await the true king's return.
[01:06] ---
    When time is out of joint, the hero
    saves the true king and sets it right.
[01:12] ---
    Not for himself--oh, no--
[01:15] ---
    but for justice only.
[01:18] ---
    But what is "justice"?
[01:20] ---
    The right bloodline? The proper ritual?
[01:23] ---
    Not at all.
[01:25] ---
    It's who everyone likes.
[01:32] ---
    Dreadful news!
[01:34] ---
    The children have escaped the Tower!
[01:38] ---
    Fate has been decided from the first.
[01:44] ---
    York of the white rose.
[01:46] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[01:49] ---
    These royal houses with roses for
    their crests battled for the throne.
[01:55] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[03:35] ---
    What's all the fuss?
[03:36] ---
    The children in the Tower escaped!
[03:39] ---
    What?!
[03:40] ---
    Fortunately, they were returned
    to the Tower at once,
[03:44] ---
    but the intruder hasn't been found.
[03:48] ---
    Unhand me! I am King Edward V!
[03:52] ---
    Richard!
[03:53] ---
    I hear your son's bloodline is in doubt!
[03:56] ---
    And no wonder: you are a demon!
[04:00] ---
    Take them away!
[04:02] ---
    Just you watch!
[04:03] ---
    Everyone will beg me to take
    my throne back soon!
[04:06] ---
    I have hordes of supporters!
[04:11] ---
    I knew those rumors were to blame.
[04:14] ---
    If this is all according
    to our enemy's script,
[04:18] ---
    then that boy is a liability.
[04:21] ---
    Henry, shall I save you?
[04:26] ---
    If you'll give me what I desire...
[04:30] ---
    What do you mean?
[04:32] ---
    You aren't my king,
    but my king does love you.
[04:37] ---
    If you teach me about love,
    I will grant your wish.
[04:44] ---
    I'll kill whomever you desire.
[04:52] ---
    Don't make a fuss.
[04:54] ---
    I don't want it said that I took ill
    so soon after my accession.
[04:59] ---
    But the queen ordered me
    to summon physicians at once.
[05:02] ---
    I assume you refused.
    How could I show a physician this body?
[05:07] ---
    Your coronation in York
    is fast approaching.
[05:11] ---
    She refuses to make the journey
    if your health is poor.
[05:16] ---
    I can't approve a long
    journey while ill either.
[05:20] ---
    Then bring her to me.
[05:24] ---
    Buckingham did say he had
    engaged her as a royal physician.
[05:32] ---
    You are still a criminal.
[05:35] ---
    If you harm His Majesty,
    you may not live to regret it.
[05:42] ---
    It's an honor to see you again,
[05:46] ---
    Your Royal Majesty.
[05:50] ---
    By your leave.
[05:53] ---
    Any pain? Any changes in your diet?
[05:57] ---
    No.
[05:58] ---
    Nausea, perhaps?
[06:00] ---
    Well... I've had much on my mind.
[06:04] ---
    Have you been feverish?
[06:10] ---
    How dare you?!
[06:13] ---
    I can't diagnose him without touching him.
[06:16] ---
    I've never examined his body before.
[06:19] ---
    Would you please show me everything?
[06:26] ---
    Show no surprise.
[06:28] ---
    I forbid it.
[06:32] ---
    May I draw the curtains?
[06:40] ---
    That's all for today.
    I don't have the tools to do more.
[06:44] ---
    And your conclusion?
[06:47] ---
    Your Majesty has regular
    intercourse with someone.
[06:53] ---
    I trust you can imagine the rest?
[07:00] ---
    I'm not a woman!
[07:02] ---
    But you are both a woman and a man.
[07:07] ---
    The possibility exists.
[07:11] ---
    With this body?
[07:13] ---
    Such a thing could never be.
[07:16] ---
    Everyone's body is different--unique.
[07:20] ---
    If you need medicine, send for me.
[07:25] ---
    Although I'd like you to release me first.
[07:36] ---
    Your Majesty.
[07:38] ---
    Forgive me. I know you depart tomorrow,
[07:41] ---
    but I wish to return to my estates.
[07:44] ---
    Why?
[07:46] ---
    I have long been absent.
    It seemed a good opportunity.
[07:50] ---
    Farewell.
[07:59] ---
    You are a demon child!
    A bloodstained devil!
[08:05] ---
    Richard? Perhaps we should stop.
[08:08] ---
    Anne, ride on ahead of me.
    I'll soon catch up.
[08:12] ---
    Very well.
[08:14] ---
    I'll await you in York.
[08:21] ---
    Your Majesty, I will accompany you.
[08:30] ---
    I'll kill whomever you desire.
[08:35] ---
    The answer is obvious.
[08:37] ---
    For the throne, and for you.
[08:43] ---
    Buckingham.
[08:48] ---
    I came to speak with you.
[08:51] ---
    Can we be alone somewhere to--
[08:52] ---
    Inform the chamberlain
    that His Majesty has arrived.
[08:56] ---
    Welcome him with all due ceremony.
[09:00] ---
    Where is your wife?
[09:02] ---
    She is a Woodville.
[09:04] ---
    She hasn't shown herself to me
    once since your accession.
[09:11] ---
    I'm likely your only ally in this house.
[09:16] ---
    Your house was originally Lancastrian.
[09:20] ---
    But I thought highly of your father.
[09:24] ---
    I need more time.
[09:26] ---
    I'm devising the best solution
    to our problem.
[09:33] ---
    What was I hoping to hear?
[09:35] ---
    Forgiveness? Apology? Or...
[09:40] ---
    Very well.
[09:42] ---
    Richard!
[09:44] ---
    No. Words don't matter.
[09:49] ---
    I simply desired to see you.
[09:59] ---
    Are you well?
[10:03] ---
    Henry.
[10:09] ---
    I can't remain calm while I'm with you.
[10:14] ---
    I try to set my feelings
    aside, but I can't.
[10:18] ---
    I cannot bear the mere thought
    that anything but me
[10:23] ---
    has even a tiny place in your heart.
[10:28] ---
    Before I know it, I think:
[10:32] ---
    What can I do...
[10:38] ---
    What can I do to make you mine alone?
[10:43] ---
    Richard, we can't go on.
[10:51] ---
    You fainted. I shouldn't have pushed you.
[10:54] ---
    I'm fine. My physician agrees.
[10:58] ---
    Physician? You summoned Jane?
[11:01] ---
    Yes.
[11:02] ---
    And she found nothing wrong?
[11:04] ---
    Jane said...
[11:06] ---
    Your Majesty has regular
    intercourse with someone.
[11:11] ---
    I trust you can imagine the rest?
[11:14] ---
    It's impossible, of course.
[11:17] ---
    If that's true--
[11:19] ---
    It can't be. It's nightmarish.
[11:23] ---
    But if by any chance it is true?
[11:28] ---
    I have that medicine.
[11:32] ---
    --Richard.
    --Don't worry.
[11:35] ---
    It's all Jane's absurd fancies.
[11:38] ---
    It's not possible.
[11:39] ---
    More importantly, Henry,
[11:42] ---
    go to York with me.
[11:44] ---
    I'm to be crowned in my father's city.
[11:48] ---
    I want you at my side.
[11:50] ---
    We won the crown together.
[11:54] ---
    You cut through every briar in my path.
[12:00] ---
    And your health?
[12:02] ---
    I'll be fine, as long as you're with me.
[12:07] ---
    Relaxing has restored my appetite.
[12:10] ---
    I hardly took a bite earlier.
[12:13] ---
    I'll bring food, then.
[12:16] ---
    A duke will serve me personally?
[12:19] ---
    He will.
[12:24] ---
    What is this pain?
[12:27] ---
    I have that medicine.
[12:28] ---
    It feels like something
    gouging out my entrails.
[12:32] ---
    I tried so many times
    to discard my love for you.
[12:37] ---
    To cool my head and plot
    measures against the prince.
[12:42] ---
    All for the crown.
[12:45] ---
    No. No!
[12:48] ---
    It's all a mistake!
[12:51] ---
    My desire isn't for the crown.
[12:54] ---
    That day we met,
[12:57] ---
    I wished from the bottom
    of my heart for...
[13:26] ---
    What's going on?!
[13:29] ---
    Richard.
[13:32] ---
    Henry, explain yourself.
[13:35] ---
    I'm going to keep you here.
[13:39] ---
    I won't let you go to York.
[13:44] ---
    You won't let me go to York?
[13:46] ---
    That's right.
[13:47] ---
    What?! Enough nonsense!
[13:51] ---
    It's not nonsense.
[13:53] ---
    With the passage of time, your hair will
    grow out like a black veil.
[13:57] ---
    Once it covers your shoulders, no one
    will recognize you as "King Richard."
[14:01] ---
    Are you mad?!
[14:04] ---
    I'll let it be known that
    the king is gravely ill.
[14:06] ---
    Leave governance to me.
[14:09] ---
    That flimsy excuse won't--
[14:10] ---
    I know you wanted this too!
[14:14] ---
    That night, our desires
    were one and the same.
[14:18] ---
    If you were no longer king,
    we could be together always.
[14:22] ---
    We needn't give up on loving each other.
[14:26] ---
    Should I go to check on him?
[14:29] ---
    He promised to return by morning.
[14:33] ---
    His Majesty is a man of his word.
[14:39] ---
    I'll take you outside once you calm down.
[14:42] ---
    I have beautiful places to show you.
[14:46] ---
    I won't keep you shut up
    in a tower forever.
[14:49] ---
    I plan to prepare a house where
    we can live in secret.
[14:55] ---
    Live with Henry in the woods or somewhere?
[14:58] ---
    Live as an anonymous woman,
    unknown to anyone?
[15:04] ---
    Taste the golden dew of sleep in
    the embrace of gentle warmth?
[15:09] ---
    That would be far too good for a demon.
[15:14] ---
    With love that I thought would
    never be within my grasp?
[15:18] ---
    What more could a demon dare to wish for?
[15:22] ---
    What's wrong?
[15:23] ---
    Nothing.
[15:25] ---
    I have something to give you.
[15:27] ---
    Proof that I pledge my soul to you.
[15:31] ---
    What more can I ask for?
[15:33] ---
    Congratulations, Richard.
[15:35] ---
    You'll never again shrink, alone and
    freezing, from the voices of your curse.
[15:40] ---
    Am I wrong?
[15:42] ---
    I did wish to prolong our time
    together as long as possible,
[15:47] ---
    even if it meant discarding
    that blood and name.
[15:54] ---
    Even the name of a king.
[15:56] ---
    I already told you. His Majesty
    departed this morning.
[15:59] ---
    That can't be true!
[16:01] ---
    Ask His Grace again!
[16:04] ---
    Richard.
[16:06] ---
    I was held prisoner many
    times in my childhood.
[16:09] ---
    I believe you were as well, Henry.
[16:12] ---
    Our lives always belonged
    to someone with power.
[16:17] ---
    We cursed our impotence
    and struggled against fate.
[16:22] ---
    Aren't these the briars
    we strove to clear away?
[16:28] ---
    You're right. I did wish.
[16:31] ---
    That's why, that night, I told you plainly
[16:35] ---
    that I desired the crown
    with all my heart.
[16:40] ---
    The future we swore together is...
[16:44] ---
    Your Majesty!
[16:45] ---
    Catesby!
[16:46] ---
    I saw you in the window and grew worried.
[16:50] ---
    Duke of Buckingham, explain yourself.
[16:52] ---
    Catesby, sheathe your sword.
[16:58] ---
    Unchain me, Buckingham.
[17:06] ---
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[17:11] ---
    Was it wise to let him go unpunished?
[17:14] ---
    His crimes are my own.
[17:17] ---
    Follow me when you're ready.
[17:19] ---
    I'll be waiting in York.
[17:22] ---
    He will come to York.
[17:24] ---
    Buckingham is my other half.
[17:28] ---
    Richard,
[17:29] ---
    what do you truly desire?
[17:32] ---
    Is that really...
[17:34] ---
    Is that really your wish?
[17:38] ---
    Once lost, it can never be regained.
[17:41] ---
    Will you choose a future of sleepless
    nights in the depths of despair
[17:45] ---
    crushed by the weight of what you've lost?
[17:50] ---
    I'm not the briars that
    bind you now, Richard.
[17:54] ---
    The blood on your throne
    and the "name of a king" are.
[17:59] ---
    Henry,
[18:00] ---
    have you decided on your wish?
[18:04] ---
    If all goes as planned,
[18:05] ---
    we can meet the royal procession
    to York at the church up ahead.
[18:11] ---
    George is buried in that church.
[18:14] ---
    I'll pray for him.
[18:16] ---
    The Lancastrian Edward is there as well.
[18:19] ---
    That's true.
[18:22] ---
    Edward. That boy's father.
[18:27] ---
    Does someone you knew rest here?
[18:30] ---
    My family.
[18:35] ---
    It's so quiet.
[18:37] ---
    The clamor of the city and my days
    at war seem as though they never were.
[18:43] ---
    Many soldiers perished in this land.
[18:47] ---
    Even Prince Edward,
    who fought for Lancaster.
[18:52] ---
    I fought here that day myself.
[18:55] ---
    It's not much, but accept my contribution.
[19:00] ---
    You remind me of Prince Edward's father.
[19:03] ---
    King Henry VI was a pious and
    compassionate man like you.
[19:09] ---
    Unlike the current king.
[19:12] ---
    What sort of man is
    the current king, then?
[19:16] ---
    A villain who slew even
    his friends and brothers.
[19:20] ---
    He would murder even a child
    to further his ambitions.
[19:25] ---
    Richard III is a demon king.
[19:29] ---
    Yes, he's right.
[19:31] ---
    I became a demon,
    and all to gain my crown.
[19:36] ---
    I ensnared, robbed, and killed
    all who stood in my way.
[19:44] ---
    He and I became demons together.
[19:48] ---
    But now...
[19:52] ---
    Please wait.
[19:54] ---
    Might you be...
[19:59] ---
    The light is overhead.
[20:03] ---
    Your Majesty, King Richard III!
[20:07] ---
    I expect to visit more
    frequently from now on.
[20:12] ---
    I'll teach all England who Richard III is.
[20:17] ---
    His name, his face,
[20:19] ---
    and his power.
[20:21] ---
    The reign of Richard III
    is just beginning.
[20:35] ---
    Has my sentence been passed,
    or have you merely come to torment me,
[20:41] ---
    Duke of Buckingham?
[20:42] ---
    I'm a sinner, but so are you!
[20:46] ---
    You'll get your just deserts in time!
[20:49] ---
    As you say.
[20:52] ---
    I took part in a usurpation
    and deceived the innocent.
[20:59] ---
    Please forgive me, Your Excellency.
[21:02] ---
    Richard is bewitching and charming.
    His devilish charisma led me astray.
[21:07] ---
    I took leave of my senses.
[21:10] ---
    I trust you will understand.
[21:12] ---
    O-Of course! You couldn't help it!
[21:15] ---
    If Your Grace repents
    and turns over a new leaf,
[21:19] ---
    the Lord God will surely forgive you!
[21:22] ---
    I came here to do just that.
[21:25] ---
    Your Excellency, let us atone
    for our sins together.
[21:30] ---
    Henry,
[21:31] ---
    have you decided on your wish?
[21:34] ---
    Yes. And I'll teach you
    what you wish to know.
[21:43] ---
    James Tyrrell,
[21:46] ---
    kill Richard III.
