[00:08] ---
    Oh, Warwick!
[00:11] ---
    My father is...
[00:13] ---
    His dukedom may live on in me,
[00:16] ---
    but he is no longer with us!
[00:19] ---
    Edward.
[00:20] ---
    If you are his son,
    then do not stop at a dukedom.
[00:24] ---
    Call yourself a king.
[00:26] ---
    Claim the crown, or you are
    no child of Richard Plantagenet!
[00:31] ---
    Warwick.
[00:33] ---
    My troops will acclaim
    you King of England.
[00:38] ---
    London has barred its gates
    against the Lancastrians.
[00:41] ---
    That will force them to withdraw for now.
[00:45] ---
    We'll end this war then.
[00:48] ---
    Gentlemen, this next battle
    will shape our future.
[00:52] ---
    All those who love England, follow me!
[00:56] ---
    My father called you
    the "savior of his soul."
[01:01] ---
    I feel as he did, Warwick.
[01:03] ---
    Let us vow to chain our souls together.
[01:07] ---
    When you fall, so shall I!
[01:11] ---
    I have no need of tears.
[01:14] ---
    Our mourning clothes are steel chains.
[01:17] ---
    We'll bring our swords of vengeance
    down on Lancastrian helms!
[01:21] ---
    O Lord, grant us strength!
[01:24] ---
    No matter how much I weep,
[01:27] ---
    merely breathing is enough
    to stoke the fires of my rage
[01:31] ---
    and burn my body to ashes.
[01:39] ---
    York of the white rose.
[01:41] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[01:44] ---
    These royal houses with roses for
    their crests battled for the throne.
[01:50] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[03:45] ---
    Warwick.
[03:49] ---
    I'm sorry.
[03:50] ---
    I swore to my beloved that I would
    be with her if I returned alive.
[03:57] ---
    You should not say such things,
    even in jest.
[04:01] ---
    I never jest.
[04:05] ---
    And right now, I'm "with" you, Warwick.
[04:14] ---
    Where am I?
[04:19] ---
    What am I doing?
[04:24] ---
    Everywhere I look is pitch dark.
[04:28] ---
    Fire!
[04:35] ---
    I can no longer...
[04:37] ---
    see any color but the red of blood.
[04:43] ---
    How many of them can we
    kill before they close with us?
[04:48] ---
    The will of heaven will decide the rest.
[04:59] ---
    What do I desire?
[05:02] ---
    Tears cannot quench the fires
    that consume me.
[05:18] ---
    Go! Crush the Yorkists in a single charge!
[05:24] ---
    Leave this to me! Fall back and--
[05:26] ---
    I swore to stand with you, Warwick!
[05:28] ---
    In heaven's name!
[05:31] ---
    Look, Warwick. Look at the sun.
[05:53] ---
    Blood! It's blood that I need!
[05:55] ---
    More! More! More!
[05:58] ---
    I want more blood!
[06:02] ---
    Enemy reinforcements?!
[06:04] ---
    Yes, they number in the thousands.
[06:07] ---
    Our men's morale will inevitably suffer.
[06:09] ---
    Might I suggest we retreat
    while we still can?
[06:19] ---
    That sun is a good omen!
[06:21] ---
    Heaven sides with us!
[06:23] ---
    Now is the time to avenge my father!
[06:26] ---
    The world is dark.
[06:28] ---
    I have been forever robbed of light.
[06:32] ---
    In the dark, I can see
    only the color of blood.
[06:36] ---
    So, I will cover the world...
[06:38] ---
    In blood! Blood! Blood!
[06:40] ---
    Blood!
[06:45] ---
    I'll color it with blood!
[07:00] ---
    Are you a Lancastrian?
[07:05] ---
    Help me. I can't move.
[07:09] ---
    Please.
[07:11] ---
    My family's waiting for me.
[07:16] ---
    I can't see.
[07:17] ---
    I don't recognize your face.
[07:22] ---
    Will you color it for me?
[07:24] ---
    Color the world?
[07:26] ---
    I'm sure that I'll be able to see then.
[07:51] ---
    Yes. Even without light,
[07:55] ---
    all that my eyes see--the whole
    world--will be in color.
[08:01] ---
    It won't be dark anymore.
[08:17] ---
    Hey, this one's breathing.
[08:19] ---
    So kill him.
[08:21] ---
    I know, but his rose is so bloody
    I can't tell if it's white or--
[08:25] ---
    Wait a moment.
[08:27] ---
    I know him.
[08:34] ---
    I'm amazed you recognized me.
[08:38] ---
    I've known you ever since you were born.
[08:41] ---
    Simply to be at your side.
[08:44] ---
    That is the role assigned to me in life.
[08:49] ---
    You needn't feel bound by loyalty.
[08:52] ---
    My father is no longer of this world.
[08:57] ---
    And so, I resigned my post
    and went in search of you.
[09:01] ---
    In order to deliver you
    into your mother's arms.
[09:06] ---
    Officially, you fled along with your
    lady mother and Lord George.
[09:11] ---
    That is as it must be.
[09:13] ---
    Your father would want it that way.
[09:21] ---
    Yes, you're right.
[09:24] ---
    I'm sure that's what Father would want.
[09:29] ---
    I am the shadow,
[09:30] ---
    the darkness behind the light.
[09:33] ---
    As your king, I now declare to you:
[09:36] ---
    We have won! Victory is ours!
[09:39] ---
    Long live King Edward!
[09:44] ---
    But that's fine.
[09:47] ---
    I'll go on walking alone,
    even in the dark.
[09:52] ---
    I've found a way to do it.
[10:24] ---
    Are you still dressing, Richard?!
[10:28] ---
    Pardon me, George.
[10:32] ---
    Richard, you're always nearly late because
    you won't let servants help you.
[10:37] ---
    It was never a problem with Catesby.
[10:42] ---
    That was two years ago.
    He no longer serves the House of York.
[10:48] ---
    Oh, yeah. He's with
    Lord Hastings now, isn't he?
[10:56] ---
    King Edward is here!
[10:58] ---
    His Majesty's beauty always astounds me.
[11:01] ---
    I know! You'd think he
    was born to be king.
[11:06] ---
    And that's the "Kingmaker,"
    the Earl of Warwick.
[11:09] ---
    The Yorkists would never have
    emerged victorious without him.
[11:13] ---
    Lord George and Lord Richard
    have grown handsome as well.
[11:17] ---
    But Lord Richard rather frightens me.
[11:20] ---
    He seems so unapproachable.
[11:22] ---
    Now that the crown of victory is ours,
[11:25] ---
    battle-scarred armor has
    been reduced to decoration.
[11:29] ---
    George! Richard!
[11:32] ---
    Richard, I'm told that you've barred
    servants from your chambers.
[11:36] ---
    You are the Duke of Gloucester now.
[11:39] ---
    You cannot rule without
    your people's trust.
[11:43] ---
    Forgive me.
[11:44] ---
    I am ashamed to expose
    my frail body to their sight.
[11:48] ---
    You are slender, and your skin
    is as smooth as a maiden's.
[11:54] ---
    But you needn't be ashamed.
[11:56] ---
    Such trifles don't determine
    a man's worth.
[11:59] ---
    What does determine it, then?
[12:04] ---
    Women.
[12:05] ---
    My brothers, do any of
    these strike your fancies?
[12:09] ---
    They are all lovely ladies.
[12:12] ---
    Wh-Why don't you court them, then?
[12:15] ---
    I'm already promised to a lady in France.
[12:19] ---
    Warwick is formally pursuing
    the engagement.
[12:24] ---
    My brothers, your king commands you!
[12:28] ---
    Choose partners for today from
    among these maidens here!
[12:32] ---
    What should we do, Richard?
    I know you hate this sort of thing.
[12:36] ---
    It's just for this party.
[12:38] ---
    His Majesty will be satisfied
    once we choose.
[12:42] ---
    You know, you've changed a little.
[12:45] ---
    Ever since Father died.
[12:47] ---
    I'm not a child anymore.
[12:50] ---
    Come on. Let's put ourselves
    in the running.
[12:53] ---
    I-I'll stay out of it.
[12:55] ---
    I'm not good with men.
[12:58] ---
    Oh, honestly, Anne.
[13:00] ---
    I know that you can't
    stop thinking about--
[13:03] ---
    I said I don't want to!
[13:05] ---
    You can join in on your own!
[13:09] ---
    Oh, my.
[13:12] ---
    Anne Neville.
[13:14] ---
    Lord Richard!
[13:16] ---
    Um, I-I'm...
[13:18] ---
    I'm sorry about before!
[13:20] ---
    I wanted to apologize.
[13:22] ---
    I realized that I might have said
    something awful to you.
[13:25] ---
    I really didn't mean to.
[13:28] ---
    I hoped that you and I could be, um...
[13:34] ---
    ...friends.
[13:39] ---
    Anne, give me your hand.
[13:45] ---
    Where did that come from?!
[13:47] ---
    If Lord Richard is with my sister,
    then you must be my partner!
[14:03] ---
    I was right, Warwick.
[14:06] ---
    Your daughters have grown quite beautiful.
[14:10] ---
    I envy my brothers.
[14:12] ---
    I trust that my French lady
    is quite the beauty as well.
[14:17] ---
    Leave everything to me.
[14:20] ---
    I plan to do nothing
    without your approval.
[14:24] ---
    The two of us won this throne together.
[14:28] ---
    Wait!
[14:30] ---
    Your Royal Majesty, I beg of you.
[14:34] ---
    This is a celebration.
[14:36] ---
    I will hear business during--
[14:37] ---
    I have made many requests
    these past two years,
[14:40] ---
    yet I was never granted an audience.
[14:44] ---
    I beg Your Majesty to return
    my late husband's lands,
[14:48] ---
    which were confiscated in the war.
[14:50] ---
    Confiscated?
[14:52] ---
    That would make your late husband
    a Lancastrian, I presume.
[14:56] ---
    Interesting. You're a courageous woman.
[15:00] ---
    What's your name?
[15:01] ---
    Your Majesty.
[15:05] ---
    I am called Elizabeth Woodville.
[15:13] ---
    Very well. I will hear your petition.
[15:16] ---
    But not during a banquet. Leave us.
[15:26] ---
    Your Majesty, as I was saying about your
    engagement to the French lady...
[15:33] ---
    Elizabeth Woodville.
[15:37] ---
    Where have I...?
[15:39] ---
    Show yourself.
[15:41] ---
    I made you tremble with fear as a child,
[15:44] ---
    but you're used to me now.
[15:47] ---
    What's so funny?
[15:49] ---
    Have you fallen in love?
[15:52] ---
    With the beautiful Elizabeth?
[15:54] ---
    Nonsense.
[15:55] ---
    But she's in your thoughts.
[15:57] ---
    Charming little Anne.
[15:59] ---
    I don't fall in love.
[16:01] ---
    You could never get her
    to love you back, anyway.
[16:05] ---
    Not with your body.
[16:07] ---
    Enough!
[16:08] ---
    I'm joking.
[16:10] ---
    After all, your affections lie elsewhere.
[16:14] ---
    Richard, you are neither
    a man nor a woman,
[16:18] ---
    but you are also both a man and a woman.
[16:26] ---
    I won't love anyone.
[16:30] ---
    Anyone at all.
[16:32] ---
    Queen Margaret! King Henry's spirit
    has at last returned to him!
[16:40] ---
    Where... Where am I?
[16:44] ---
    In Scotland.
[16:46] ---
    Those abominable Yorkists
    seized the throne,
[16:49] ---
    and forced us, the rightful royal family,
    into exile in a foreign land.
[16:55] ---
    The war is over.
[16:58] ---
    What a deplorable state of affairs!
[17:02] ---
    I'm no longer king.
[17:06] ---
    I'm free. Free!
[17:10] ---
    What's gotten into you, Edward?
[17:13] ---
    Why a hunting trip?
[17:15] ---
    It's nice to hunt without
    a crowd once in a while.
[17:18] ---
    Look, my brothers.
[17:20] ---
    That day, I saw the sun
    above the snowy battlefield.
[17:25] ---
    That single sun split into three,
[17:27] ---
    and then rejoined into one.
[17:30] ---
    The three suns are us three brothers.
[17:33] ---
    It was a divine revelation commanding
    us to rule this land in concert.
[17:39] ---
    We three York brothers
    are under the sun's aegis.
[17:43] ---
    Let us strengthen our bonds
    by hunting under this sun's light.
[17:47] ---
    Now, we'll see which of us can
    bring down the largest game!
[17:52] ---
    He's certainly in a good mood.
[18:08] ---
    I long to see you.
[18:14] ---
    I trust you've read my letter,
[18:17] ---
    Elizabeth?
[18:20] ---
    Yes. You wrote that you would
    return my husband's lands.
[18:24] ---
    And in exchange, I ask for your love.
[18:28] ---
    I believe I wrote as much.
[18:30] ---
    Your Royal Majesty,
    as I am an English subject,
[18:33] ---
    my love has always been yours.
[18:36] ---
    Elizabeth, it is the fruits
    of love that I desire.
[18:40] ---
    Put plainly,
[18:44] ---
    I want to sleep with you.
[18:47] ---
    Then Your Majesty must send me
    to sleep in a prison cell.
[18:55] ---
    You would slay a king
    to preserve your honor?
[19:01] ---
    I would.
[19:03] ---
    You're the first woman
    who has ever refused me.
[19:07] ---
    Elizabeth, I'm more eager
    to test you than ever.
[19:13] ---
    Your Majesty, I am too lowly
    to be your queen,
[19:18] ---
    but I am too noble to be your mistress.
[19:22] ---
    My queen? You're bolder than
    your gentle looks suggest.
[19:28] ---
    How amusing.
[19:30] ---
    Would you be my queen, Elizabeth?
[19:36] ---
    Those who love Your Majesty
    would never permit it.
[19:40] ---
    Elizabeth, you are the only one I love.
[19:45] ---
    I'll hear no more refusals.
[19:50] ---
    I am king, and I have made my decision.
[19:59] ---
    So, this is why he
    suddenly wanted to hunt.
[20:13] ---
    You saw us.
[20:16] ---
    For the present, this secret
    stays just between us.
[20:21] ---
    Richard,
[20:22] ---
    I have decided...
[20:25] ---
    ...to make her my queen.
[20:31] ---
    What is this letter?!
[20:32] ---
    King Edward and his Yorkists killed your--
[20:34] ---
    Anthony...
[20:38] ---
    Do you know what this is?
[20:41] ---
    It's a memento of my husband.
[20:44] ---
    I still love only one man.
[20:48] ---
    And so, I will avenge him.
[20:51] ---
    I'll become queen,
    bend the king to my will,
[20:55] ---
    and the Royal Family of York,
    my husband's killers, will be ours.
[21:03] ---
    Edward's French marriage
    will bring even greater power
[21:06] ---
    to the Royal Family of York.
[21:10] ---
    Your son looks more
    like you than ever lately.
[21:14] ---
    Sometimes I mistake him for you,
[21:17] ---
    Your Majesty.
[21:20] ---
    I promise to defend your crown,
[21:25] ---
    no matter who threatens it.
[21:42] ---
    Hey, have you heard?
[21:44] ---
    They say King Edward comes hunting here.
[21:47] ---
    Incognito?
[21:49] ---
    Of course. I mean, this is King Edward.
[21:52] ---
    You hide your wives and
    daughters when he comes by.
[21:56] ---
    Excuse me.
[21:57] ---
    I'm looking for someone.
