[00:03] ---
    That day, gasping for breath,
[00:06] ---
    I sought my father.
[00:08] ---
    I felt certain that he
    awaited me in this city.
[00:11] ---
    Father!
[00:14] ---
    Edward.
[00:15] ---
    Anne.
[00:16] ---
    Pardon my delay.
[00:18] ---
    We've been waiting for you.
[00:22] ---
    So have the people of York.
[00:24] ---
    Waiting for Richard III to come home.
[00:28] ---
    Be a king for the sake of his name,
    until you die in glory.
[00:38] ---
    York of the white rose.
[00:40] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[00:43] ---
    These royal houses with roses for
    their crests battled for the throne.
[00:49] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[02:32] ---
    Rebellion?
[02:34] ---
    I was astonished to hear it
    from the Duke of Buckingham.
[02:38] ---
    He grew dissatisfied because the king
    denied him his promised reward.
[02:44] ---
    In the end,
[02:46] ---
    he came to worry that his own
    head would be the next to roll.
[02:52] ---
    And so, he desires your aid. You are an
    honorable gentleman and our comrade.
[02:56] ---
    Our rebellion needs
    a trustworthy new leader.
[03:02] ---
    It's difficult to believe,
[03:04] ---
    but if Buckingham, a great lord
    and the king's right hand, revolts,
[03:10] ---
    the foundations of Richard III's
    reign will be worse than shaken.
[03:17] ---
    A rebel leader?
[03:20] ---
    You called, Dad?
[03:22] ---
    I've told you not to call--
[03:24] ---
    Why, this is a once-in-a-lifetime
    opportunity to get ahead!
[03:28] ---
    If you play your cards right, you'll come
    out on top no matter who triumphs!
[03:33] ---
    But can you trust Buckingham?
    He was so devoted to the king.
[03:39] ---
    Is that what you're thinking, Dad?
[03:41] ---
    I concur.
[03:43] ---
    I have no wish to fight a losing battle.
[03:47] ---
    Then how about this?
[03:48] ---
    Tell Buckingham to bring you a gift if
    he's serious about turning on Richard.
[03:56] ---
    Those boys in the Tower are still alive.
[03:59] ---
    Many still view them as
    the rightful heirs to the crown.
[04:05] ---
    I suppose.
[04:06] ---
    You suppose?!
[04:08] ---
    You pose as a fence-sitter
    in perfect safety,
[04:11] ---
    all the while plotting to put your
    stepson at the head of a rebel army!
[04:16] ---
    I wish to be king, Father.
[04:19] ---
    And should a parent not
    reward his child's efforts?
[04:22] ---
    Hm?
[04:24] ---
    Tell Buckingham that
[04:27] ---
    you'll join forces with him if he
    kills the children in the Tower.
[04:34] ---
    Damn Stanley.
[04:36] ---
    I anticipated this response,
    but he's still a nuisance.
[04:40] ---
    But by joining forces with his stepson,
    the Earl of Richmond,
[04:45] ---
    I can win Lancastrian
    support for my cause.
[04:49] ---
    I had considered how to eliminate those
    boys as a means to protect Richard,
[04:55] ---
    but if I kill them now,
    Richard must be the culprit.
[05:00] ---
    When shall I kill him?
[05:03] ---
    The time is not yet ripe.
[05:05] ---
    To kill Richard,
    we'll first need a sacrifice.
[05:09] ---
    Will that truly save him?
[05:12] ---
    Yes, and you as well.
[05:16] ---
    Is that your love?
[05:20] ---
    It is.
[05:36] ---
    He's just late. He will come back.
[05:40] ---
    He'll announce himself and kiss
    my hand without a hint of shame.
[05:46] ---
    I know he will.
[05:49] ---
    Richard.
[05:52] ---
    Can you hear them, Richard?
[05:55] ---
    I know you can hear those longing cries.
[05:58] ---
    They call the name of a king.
[06:01] ---
    Now go, Richard.
[06:03] ---
    I am with you.
[06:07] ---
    King Richard!
[06:08] ---
    It's King Richard!
[06:10] ---
    King Richard III is here!
[06:15] ---
    Noble and bold people of York.
[06:19] ---
    Thank you for your warm welcome.
[06:22] ---
    I once beheld hell in this city.
[06:26] ---
    The sun was extinguished,
    leaving only deepest darkness.
[06:30] ---
    Such was the death of my father,
    whom I loved him best in all the world.
[06:35] ---
    Yet for all the tears I shed on his grave,
[06:38] ---
    my sword shed far more enemy
    blood on the field of battle!
[06:44] ---
    And now,
[06:46] ---
    I have returned here!
[06:49] ---
    I offer this golden light to my
    great father and the city of York!
[06:55] ---
    King Richard III!
[06:56] ---
    Long live the king!
[07:04] ---
    Light for this city.
[07:11] ---
    I wish to promote those whom
    the light has not yet touched.
[07:17] ---
    Once I return to London--
[07:18] ---
    Your Majesty!
[07:20] ---
    A man just delivered this.
[07:24] ---
    This is from Buckingham!
[07:27] ---
    And the messenger?
[07:28] ---
    His, um, hood hid his face,
    but he bid me give you this.
[07:34] ---
    It can't be!
[07:37] ---
    Richard?
[07:38] ---
    I know that you'll come back.
    I'm certain of it!
[07:42] ---
    You will
[07:44] ---
    return to me!
[07:48] ---
    Henry!
[08:00] ---
    It can't be.
[08:02] ---
    Who is he? Am I hallucinating?
[08:06] ---
    You're wrong, Richard. I'm James Tyrrell.
[08:10] ---
    Your assassin.
[08:22] ---
    It's not time for that yet.
[08:26] ---
    This man is James Tyrrell?
[08:29] ---
    He's the very image of Henry VI.
[08:33] ---
    How...?
[08:34] ---
    How could this be?
[08:36] ---
    Even his voice is identical.
[08:38] ---
    I need to know you better.
[08:42] ---
    Before the time comes.
[08:46] ---
    --Wait!
    --Your Majesty!
[08:49] ---
    You were late in returning.
[08:51] ---
    Did the Duke of Buckingham...?
[08:57] ---
    It wasn't him.
[08:59] ---
    It wasn't Henry.
[09:09] ---
    That clown gave us these sweets.
[09:12] ---
    I'll eat them all while Edward's sleeping.
[09:15] ---
    Damnation!
[09:16] ---
    E-Edward?
[09:17] ---
    Damn! Damn! Damn!
    I'm too furious to sleep!
[09:20] ---
    Why don't my "supporters"
    come to my rescue?!
[09:22] ---
    Are they all incompetent?!
[09:24] ---
    P-Please calm down, Edward.
[09:26] ---
    Try to imagine something happy,
    like what you'll do once you're restored.
[09:33] ---
    Good idea.
[09:36] ---
    If he ever does get the throne back,
[09:38] ---
    I'll have to go back to waiting
    on him like a servant.
[09:44] ---
    Before that happens,
    I might as well just...
[09:47] ---
    I'll start with a feast.
[09:48] ---
    Huh?
[09:49] ---
    I'll summon Mother, and Elizabeth, too.
[09:53] ---
    And then
[09:55] ---
    I'll execute Richard as
    an example to everyone.
[09:59] ---
    And his son too?
[10:02] ---
    After we show him his
    father's miserable corpse.
[10:05] ---
    How his wife will weep and despair!
[10:08] ---
    We'll bake the bodies into pies
    and make his servants eat them.
[10:11] ---
    We'll toast with blood for wine!
[10:13] ---
    Why stop there?
    Let's think up something crueler.
[10:18] ---
    I feel a bit better.
[10:20] ---
    Huh?
[10:22] ---
    If you weren't here...
[10:26] ---
    If I were alone, I would have gone mad.
[10:29] ---
    S-Stop. That's not like you.
[10:33] ---
    Will we kill each other someday too?
[10:38] ---
    Like our father and our uncles did?
[10:43] ---
    I've been thinking.
[10:45] ---
    If we get out of here...
[10:49] ---
    ...I'd like us to be friends.
[10:53] ---
    Edward.
[10:59] ---
    Shall we eat them together?
[11:04] ---
    Hey. Keep quiet.
[11:06] ---
    What does it matter?
    Our client owns the Tower.
[11:14] ---
    How sweet they look.
[11:16] ---
    This must be the beauty
    of the Lord's chosen.
[11:20] ---
    Still, they sleep like logs.
[11:24] ---
    Almost like they're dead already.
[11:28] ---
    Hm?
[11:32] ---
    One can never be too careful.
    Hard biscuits are best for long journeys.
[11:42] ---
    Henry.
[11:44] ---
    Richard.
[11:45] ---
    Not you!
[11:46] ---
    I need to know you better.
[11:49] ---
    What the devil does it mean?!
[11:51] ---
    I feel like I'm losing my mind.
[11:55] ---
    What is there to fear?
[11:57] ---
    We are God's anointed king.
[12:02] ---
    That's right. The war is over.
[12:05] ---
    No one can threaten me now.
[12:10] ---
    Pardon me.
[12:12] ---
    Tidings just arrived from London.
[12:15] ---
    Your Majesty?
[12:20] ---
    Buckingham is... in revolt.
[12:27] ---
    The Duke of Buckingham, revolt?
[12:30] ---
    Impossible.
[12:32] ---
    Richard.
[12:34] ---
    Unless you relinquish your crown in
    one month's time, by St. Luke's Day,
[12:39] ---
    an army will march on London
    to dethrone Richard III.
[12:45] ---
    Therefore, I cannot go to York.
[12:49] ---
    I have only one wish.
[12:53] ---
    Richard, a forest called Dean
    lies on the road to my castle.
[12:59] ---
    Let us meet there. We will cross
    the river, and then the sea.
[13:05] ---
    Richard...
[13:11] ---
    Forsake your crown and come to
    those woods before the day appointed.
[13:16] ---
    Your Majesty.
[13:18] ---
    Your Majesty!
[13:20] ---
    Say nothing of this to anyone.
[13:23] ---
    Which matter do you mean?
[13:26] ---
    Buckingham, of course!
[13:30] ---
    I beg your pardon.
[13:33] ---
    Forgive me, Catesby.
[13:35] ---
    Now, what news from London?
[13:38] ---
    The children in the Tower are gone.
[13:41] ---
    Make haste to London.
[13:43] ---
    Certainly.
[13:44] ---
    No, wait!
[13:45] ---
    Something's wrong.
    If the rebels absconded with them,
[13:50] ---
    could Buckingham be involved?
[13:52] ---
    To quash the rebellion, I must raise
    troops and strike the foe before--
[13:57] ---
    Foe? Am I going to slay him?
[14:00] ---
    Nonsense!
[14:03] ---
    Spread rumors that the children are dead.
    They'll make poor figureheads that way.
[14:08] ---
    At once.
[14:10] ---
    Why, Henry?
[14:13] ---
    Why?!
[14:50] ---
    It can't be.
[14:52] ---
    Would that it were but a nightmare.
[14:55] ---
    Yet there are witnesses.
[14:59] ---
    The lifeless bodies of King
    Edward V and Prince Richard
[15:03] ---
    were taken from the Tower
    in the dead of night.
[15:09] ---
    How horrible!
[15:11] ---
    No! No! Not my darling sons!
[15:15] ---
    No. It isn't true.
[15:16] ---
    Why, God?!
[15:18] ---
    That beautiful sapling should have grown
    to prop up all of England as king!
[15:24] ---
    And yet... And yet...
[15:26] ---
    That demon must have done it!
[15:29] ---
    How much will you take from me
    before you're satisfied, Richard?!
[15:34] ---
    Why not kill me as well?!
[15:36] ---
    Make Westminster my grave, and--
[15:38] ---
    Your Majesty mustn't say such things.
[15:43] ---
    Look. You still have a fine princess.
[15:50] ---
    You're right. The Lord sends us trials,
[15:55] ---
    but justice always wins out in the end.
[15:59] ---
    We shall unite our two lights
[16:02] ---
    and help them ascend to a lofty
    height second only to God.
[16:06] ---
    My Beth and your son Richmond
[16:10] ---
    will reach England's
    highest rank of dignity.
[16:15] ---
    How odd. The brothers always
    look out of that window.
[16:19] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    I haven't seen them.
[16:22] ---
    They've vanished from the Tower.
    Rumor has it they're dead.
[16:25] ---
    How could it be a mystery?
[16:28] ---
    They were in the palace.
[16:30] ---
    Our greatest enemy is within.
[16:32] ---
    He'll never let anyone
    stand in his way and live.
[16:35] ---
    He even slew innocent children
    to defend his stolen throne!
[16:39] ---
    Tear that demon from the throne!
[16:43] ---
    Soldiers swarm to join us.
[16:45] ---
    The stratagem was a success.
[16:47] ---
    The Marquess of Dorset,
    who was in hiding, sends word
[16:51] ---
    that the boys' death has
    sparked uprisings far and wide.
[16:56] ---
    What of Richmond?
[16:58] ---
    He sailed from Brittany leading troops,
[17:01] ---
    and his mother has obtained Queen
    Elizabeth's consent to that matter.
[17:06] ---
    And Stanley?
[17:08] ---
    Naturally, he'll join his wife and son.
[17:11] ---
    He is our intermediary.
[17:15] ---
    My father was a Lancastrian.
[17:18] ---
    And so you follow suit!
[17:20] ---
    My blood and title are both
    worthless to me now.
[17:25] ---
    I want only one thing.
[17:28] ---
    Only you, Richard.
[17:31] ---
    Your Majesty honors me!
[17:34] ---
    Lend me your strength
    to build a new England.
[17:38] ---
    Nothing would give us
    northerners more pleasure.
[17:43] ---
    I pledge that my soul shall
    always be with Your Majesty.
[17:48] ---
    Do I go to the forest where he waits,
[17:50] ---
    or do I face down rebellion as a king?
[17:53] ---
    The appointed day is almost upon us.
[17:56] ---
    Hey, everybody!
[17:57] ---
    His Majesty was just here!
[18:00] ---
    Our king!
[18:02] ---
    Must I choose?
[18:05] ---
    You must know better than
    anyone how I longed for that.
[18:10] ---
    Mother?
[18:11] ---
    What's wrong?!
[18:17] ---
    Perhaps I've overexerted myself.
[18:20] ---
    It's my turn to fall ill.
[18:23] ---
    I've burdened you.
[18:26] ---
    Because of my indecision...
[18:29] ---
    It's not your fault.
[18:31] ---
    In fact, I feel better in York.
[18:35] ---
    Part of me always wondered
[18:40] ---
    if choosing you was a mistake.
[18:44] ---
    Was it right for you to become
    king and for me to support you?
[18:50] ---
    But when I saw the people bless you,
[18:53] ---
    it struck me that this is a new beginning.
[18:57] ---
    When you spoke of England's future,
    you looked like your father in profile.
[19:03] ---
    You were noble and beautiful.
[19:06] ---
    Anne.
[19:08] ---
    I'll get well soon.
[19:11] ---
    Edward will have his
    knighting ceremony soon.
[19:17] ---
    Edward, rise as a knight.
[19:21] ---
    Be a guardian to all
    the just and the weak.
[19:26] ---
    Yes, Your Majesty!
[19:33] ---
    Father!
[19:41] ---
    Are you well?
[19:43] ---
    I don't want that boy's childhood
    to be sorrowful, like ours was.
[19:50] ---
    Let's make a land for him, together.
[19:54] ---
    A beautiful kingdom.
[19:57] ---
    Amid betrayal after betrayal,
    they chose me.
[20:01] ---
    Both Anne and Buckingham.
[20:04] ---
    I can't lose one of them.
[20:07] ---
    I can't make that choice.
[20:10] ---
    Your Majesty.
[20:11] ---
    Catesby.
[20:13] ---
    What's my schedule today?
[20:15] ---
    Inspecting an abbey?
[20:17] ---
    Your Majesty! King Richard!
[20:22] ---
    Command me. The day is nearly here.
[20:25] ---
    Will you gather troops?
[20:27] ---
    Or go to the forest?
[20:37] ---
    You think I could?
[20:39] ---
    What would become of Anne
    and Edward with me gone?
[20:43] ---
    What of the people who believed in me?
[20:47] ---
    I merely obey your wishes.
[20:52] ---
    My wishes?
[20:59] ---
    I'll...
[21:01] ---
    I'll speak to Buckingham once more!
[21:05] ---
    That's right. There are other ways.
[21:07] ---
    No one yet knows of his rebellion.
[21:09] ---
    There's still hope for--
[21:11] ---
    Your Majesty!
[21:13] ---
    Urgent news! Kent is in revolt!
[21:18] ---
    Our forces in Kent have risen?
[21:20] ---
    I gave no order!
[21:22] ---
    The king must know our plans now.
[21:25] ---
    It's a little premature,
    but we must march.
[21:28] ---
    Come, Your Grace, signal the advance!
[21:32] ---
    What's so shocking about that?
[21:34] ---
    Kent is always rebellious.
[21:37] ---
    His Grace, the Duke of
    Buckingham is behind it!
[21:39] ---
    This is treason!
[21:40] ---
    Yes! He's turned on us!
[21:42] ---
    Your Majesty! Your orders?!
[21:44] ---
    We must act at once!
