[00:01] ---
    Allow me to introduce you.
[00:04] ---
    This is my wife.
[00:06] ---
    What's the meaning of this, Edward?!
[00:09] ---
    I have already been formally
    wed to this lady, Elizabeth.
[00:13] ---
    I therefore cannot marry Lady Bona.
[00:18] ---
    My king, do you realize
    what you are saying?
[00:23] ---
    A sovereign's marriage
    is not a personal matter.
[00:27] ---
    I understand that,
[00:28] ---
    but I can't help having met her!
[00:31] ---
    I cannot undo my compact
    with the King of France!
[00:34] ---
    Nor I my compact with God!
[00:36] ---
    How could you put base lusts
    before the good of England?
[00:40] ---
    Make your choice: that woman, or me!
[00:43] ---
    I choose love!
[00:45] ---
    Oh, I can't keep myself from smiling.
[00:48] ---
    Now I'm queen in fact as well as name.
[00:58] ---
    York of the white rose.
[01:00] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[01:03] ---
    These royal houses with roses
    for their crests battled for the throne.
[01:09] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[02:53] ---
    God save Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth!
[03:03] ---
    Have you heard?
[03:04] ---
    Queen Elizabeth's younger sister
    married the Duke of Buckingham.
[03:08] ---
    But the queen's family is too
    lowly to marry into a dukedom.
[03:13] ---
    The leading nobles of the realm
    are bowing and scraping to us.
[03:18] ---
    Not even the Kingmaker can ignore me now.
[03:23] ---
    Lord Warwick.
[03:27] ---
    Excuse me. Who might you be?
[03:32] ---
    You must be joking.
[03:33] ---
    Surely you haven't forgotten
    your queen's younger brother?
[03:37] ---
    I beg your pardon.
[03:39] ---
    Her Majesty's whim brings more
    parvenus to court almost daily of late.
[03:46] ---
    By the way, my lord,
[03:48] ---
    have you given our reply
    to the King of France yet?
[03:53] ---
    I can't believe it.
[03:55] ---
    He's the king of a whole country.
[03:57] ---
    He could've at least
    consulted us or his council.
[03:59] ---
    Does my marriage displease you?
[04:02] ---
    I agree with Warwick.
[04:05] ---
    Then I suppose you're
    still my only ally, Richard.
[04:09] ---
    Even now.
[04:11] ---
    Richard, don't tell me
    you knew about this!
[04:15] ---
    I'm not on anyone's side.
[04:20] ---
    It's going to be war.
[04:22] ---
    There will be war with France,
    mark my words.
[04:25] ---
    Why do you think so?
[04:27] ---
    Because your brother acted the fool.
[04:30] ---
    Watch your tongue, brat.
[04:32] ---
    I'm no brat.
[04:33] ---
    I'm the Duke of Buckingham.
[04:35] ---
    The one your brother saddled with
    some provincial dame for a wife.
[04:41] ---
    You're an amusing fellow.
[04:44] ---
    It seems you speak my language, Richard.
[04:49] ---
    I prefer women of lofty status.
[04:54] ---
    Hey.
[04:56] ---
    Ow!
[04:57] ---
    I'm no woman, Duke.
[05:01] ---
    I hear the French king, Louis,
    is a cautious man.
[05:05] ---
    I doubt he'd be so quick to raise an army.
[05:13] ---
    King Edward was married already, you say?
[05:17] ---
    Is this the amity that England
    seeks with France?
[05:21] ---
    Warwick,
[05:22] ---
    have you not sacrificed much
    to set a crown upon his head?
[05:28] ---
    Is this your reward?
[05:31] ---
    Will you still call him your king?
[05:38] ---
    If we get another war to turn
    the world upside down,
[05:42] ---
    then even I might end up king.
[05:45] ---
    If you weren't a child,
    I'd lop off your head for treason.
[05:49] ---
    Haven't you ever considered it, Richard?!
[05:51] ---
    You could be king yourself!
[05:55] ---
    Me, king?
[05:57] ---
    That's right.
[05:58] ---
    Needless to say, there are a lot of
    people between us and the crown.
[06:03] ---
    It's like a lightless forest of briars.
[06:06] ---
    But if war breaks out, we could blaze
    a trail through it with our axes!
[06:12] ---
    Can your scrawny arms lift an axe?
[06:15] ---
    Not now, but if you feel inclined
    to carry one in my place...
[06:21] ---
    ...then becoming your very own
    kingmaker sounds like fun.
[06:37] ---
    Me, become king?
[06:40] ---
    With this shameful body of mine?
[06:44] ---
    Don't dream of the impossible.
[06:46] ---
    There's no kingdom for me.
[06:50] ---
    But who's worthy to be king if I'm not?
[06:54] ---
    Father is no longer with us.
[06:56] ---
    Is Edward worthy of the crown?
[06:59] ---
    Is Henry, or his son?
[07:02] ---
    Never.
[07:07] ---
    Preserve my name, Richard.
    It's the name of a king.
[07:15] ---
    The name... of a king.
[07:21] ---
    Your Majesty, Henry's
    transport is complete.
[07:25] ---
    How pitiful.
[07:26] ---
    A former king, captured by
    peasants, of all people?
[07:31] ---
    Does Richard know of this?
[07:33] ---
    The Duke of Gloucester hasn't
    found out yet, but when he does...
[07:38] ---
    I suppose I'd better keep him
    out of London for a while.
[07:42] ---
    As a matter of fact,
[07:43] ---
    the Earl of Warwick made
    a request on that subject.
[07:48] ---
    I gave orders to admit no one.
[07:50] ---
    That servant is out of a job.
[07:53] ---
    No one in this realm can
    defy my command, Richard.
[07:59] ---
    No one but the king.
[08:02] ---
    I only take orders from the true king.
[08:06] ---
    Aren't you the same?
[08:08] ---
    Don't touch my father.
[08:10] ---
    What brings you here?
[08:12] ---
    I've come to collect you.
[08:25] ---
    Warwick is riding with Richard?
    What is he scheming?
[08:32] ---
    Welcome to Middleham Castle.
[08:35] ---
    Welcome home, Father.
[08:38] ---
    You'll be living with us
    here for a short while.
[08:42] ---
    Anne, Isabelle, be on your best behavior.
[08:58] ---
    I've grown much stronger since then.
[09:01] ---
    I've learned to fight.
[09:04] ---
    I've matured as a man.
[09:07] ---
    And yet, my body always remains imperfect.
[09:16] ---
    I'm deluding myself.
[09:20] ---
    It's no delusion, Richard.
[09:23] ---
    You're in love with Henry.
[09:26] ---
    Stop.
[09:28] ---
    You really long to--
[09:30] ---
    Stop! I'm not a woman!
[09:32] ---
    Women style their long hair, wear dresses,
[09:35] ---
    and wait at home for
    the men who defend them!
[09:38] ---
    So, I'm not a woman!
[09:39] ---
    Anne! You've got to talk to him!
[09:42] ---
    But I've sent him so many letters,
    and he's never answered any of them.
[09:49] ---
    A boar?
[09:50] ---
    Hey. Stop that, Whitey.
[09:52] ---
    I'm sorry. It's normally better behaved.
[09:58] ---
    Is this the boar from back then?
[10:01] ---
    I always thought it ended up being
    served at that night's dinner.
[10:08] ---
    Anne!
[10:13] ---
    I-I'll be your training partner!
[10:17] ---
    I'm a good rider!
[10:18] ---
    I-I can outride any
    gentleman in the castle.
[10:26] ---
    Oh, my, Anne.
[10:28] ---
    The hem of your dress is torn!
[10:30] ---
    Could that boar be to blame?
[10:33] ---
    Surely, damaging a lady's
    dress requires an apology?
[10:40] ---
    You've forced my hand.
[10:41] ---
    But in exchange, I won't go easy on you,
[10:44] ---
    Anne.
[10:49] ---
    Duke Richard! Over here!
[10:59] ---
    I'll admit it.
[11:00] ---
    Your horsemanship is impressive.
[11:04] ---
    Truly?
[11:05] ---
    I'm so glad.
[11:06] ---
    I've always been jealous of boys,
    ever since I was little.
[11:11] ---
    To be honest, I would have
    much rather ridden off to battle
[11:15] ---
    than sat around in dresses
    doing embroidery.
[11:18] ---
    But when my father hears me say so,
    he scolds me for my ignorance
[11:22] ---
    of the horrors of war.
[11:24] ---
    No.
[11:26] ---
    If you'd been a man, I'm sure you
    would have made a fine knight.
[11:32] ---
    Thank you.
[11:38] ---
    Oh, look, Duke Richard!
[11:40] ---
    So many acorns!
[11:42] ---
    Let's scoop some up to bring home.
    I'm sure that Whitey will love them.
[11:48] ---
    Anne is different from other women.
[11:53] ---
    It's strange. Being with her
    puts my mind at ease.
[11:59] ---
    She doesn't disturb
    my thoughts like he does.
[12:04] ---
    In fact, when we're like this,
    I feel like I could forget everything.
[12:09] ---
    Oh, no! The acorns.
[12:12] ---
    Should we wrap them in a cloak to carry?
[12:14] ---
    We should make another trip.
    We can bring Whitey.
[12:21] ---
    I just have to avoid getting too close,
[12:24] ---
    so that I won't fear losing you.
[12:27] ---
    If I don't grab your hand,
    I won't have to let go.
[12:36] ---
    How could a sacred king take
    a woman like her for his wife?
[12:41] ---
    Edward shows Richard too much favor.
[12:44] ---
    I was his favorite before
    his marriage, but now...
[12:48] ---
    Honestly, Duke George!
    You've spoken of nothing but King Edward!
[12:52] ---
    I haven't had a chance
    to see you in so long.
[12:55] ---
    I'm sorry, Isabelle.
[12:57] ---
    Still, is King Edward really
    suited for a sacred throne?
[13:05] ---
    You seem like you would make
    a far better king to me.
[13:12] ---
    Isabelle.
[13:19] ---
    Oh, Duke George. You mustn't.
[13:25] ---
    Would you care for another cup?
[13:29] ---
    Warwick? What brings you--
[13:32] ---
    I cannot countenance congress
    before marriage, My Lord Duke.
[13:37] ---
    O-Oh, well, this isn't--
[13:38] ---
    Did you not say so yourself?
[13:41] ---
    Such a woman should not
    be the wife of a king.
[13:45] ---
    I must ask you to restrain yourself.
[13:49] ---
    This is the precious body
    of a future queen.
[13:53] ---
    A queen?
[13:55] ---
    Isabelle? Of what country?
[14:01] ---
    Of yours,
[14:04] ---
    Your Majesty.
[14:18] ---
    Another cold day.
[14:23] ---
    Shh! Keep quiet!
[14:27] ---
    U-Um... I was planning to wait
    until you finished working.
[14:31] ---
    You'll take ill. It's so cold
    that the rivers have frozen.
[14:36] ---
    Y-Yes, they have!
[14:38] ---
    That's why I hoped you would
    go skating with me!
[14:42] ---
    Are you really sure about this?
    You were in the middle of business.
[14:47] ---
    I'd just started feeling sluggish.
[14:50] ---
    I'm more concerned about your footing.
[14:54] ---
    I-I'll be fine!
[14:56] ---
    I've skated lots of times before.
[15:01] ---
    Let's race each other to that tree!
[15:05] ---
    I don't mind.
[15:06] ---
    You won't beat me!
[15:12] ---
    The time I spend with Anne does more
    than anything else to stabilize me.
[15:17] ---
    Anne allows me to be myself.
[15:21] ---
    Duke Richard! Victory is mi--
[15:27] ---
    I've never felt this way...
[15:31] ---
    ...about another person before.
[15:38] ---
    Anne, your foot.
[15:40] ---
    Excuse me. It was untied.
[15:42] ---
    O-Oh, no.
[15:45] ---
    Please don't mention it.
[15:53] ---
    What a blunder.
[15:54] ---
    You couldn't help it
    in this freezing weather.
[15:57] ---
    What a shame. I was hoping
    to make a snowman next.
[16:03] ---
    Together.
[16:05] ---
    Is making a snowman too childish?
[16:09] ---
    No, but I'm not confident
    I could do it well.
[16:14] ---
    I've only made one once,
    when I was little.
[16:17] ---
    I was staring outside on my own,
    so my attendant taught me how.
[16:25] ---
    Was that attendant Mr. Catesby,
    by any chance?
[16:30] ---
    Yes, it was. How did you know?
[16:33] ---
    I remember him.
[16:35] ---
    I mean, he was always by your side.
[16:41] ---
    That was the first time Duke Richard
    ever told me about his childhood.
[16:47] ---
    I'm so happy.
[16:52] ---
    Do you know what kind
    of presents women like?
[16:56] ---
    How should I know?
[16:59] ---
    You're a woman, technically.
[17:01] ---
    I told you, I'm you.
[17:04] ---
    Half of you is a woman,
    so you should know too.
[17:09] ---
    I wouldn't be happy to get
    dresses or hair ornaments.
[17:13] ---
    I'm not a woman.
[17:14] ---
    See? You do know.
[17:17] ---
    You haven't been yourself these days.
[17:21] ---
    I mean, you're reading romances.
[17:27] ---
    Loving a woman doesn't
    make you a man, you know.
[17:32] ---
    I've always been a man!
[17:35] ---
    Oh, I was talking about this book.
[17:38] ---
    I'm just wishing her well.
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[17:41] ---
    Exactly!
[17:43] ---
    You'd better forget about happy endings
[17:46] ---
    unless you can believe to the bitter end.
[17:52] ---
    I'm not hoping for one.
[17:54] ---
    It's... It's just that Anne
    isn't like other women.
[18:01] ---
    Where is George?
[18:03] ---
    With His Majesty,
    asking leave to marry me.
[18:07] ---
    Asking leave? The king himself
    already proved that unnecessary.
[18:13] ---
    I can't rely on George to
    dethrone the king as he is.
[18:17] ---
    I'll need other allies.
[18:23] ---
    Anne, you look well.
[18:26] ---
    Yes, I feel much better.
[18:28] ---
    Thanks to Richard's visit, I suppose.
[18:32] ---
    Keep it up.
[18:34] ---
    Continue seducing Richard
    until he's infatuated with you.
[18:39] ---
    "S-Seducing"?
[18:41] ---
    What an awful way to put it, Father!
[18:44] ---
    He's still young.
[18:47] ---
    He can't resist the lure
    of a woman's body.
[18:49] ---
    Stop it. It's not like that between us.
[18:53] ---
    Listen, Anne.
[18:55] ---
    I'm going to marry you to Richard.
[19:00] ---
    You must understand the
    Nevilles' current circumstances.
[19:04] ---
    We need Richard's support.
[19:09] ---
    You mean you plan to use Duke Richard?
[19:11] ---
    Naturally.
[19:13] ---
    It's an aristocratic marriage.
[19:15] ---
    But Duke Richard is so
    kind and pure of heart.
[19:22] ---
    No!
[19:23] ---
    Anne.
[19:25] ---
    I refuse!
[19:27] ---
    I've never defied you before, Father,
[19:30] ---
    but this is too far!
[19:32] ---
    I'll arrange the match,
    even if it isn't to your liking.
[19:37] ---
    Even if you don't love Richard.
[19:42] ---
    You need only continue to captivate
    his heart as you have been.
[19:47] ---
    I won't do it!
[19:49] ---
    I-I'll never marry like that!
[19:53] ---
    I refuse to marry Duke Richard!
[20:04] ---
    Because I...
[20:06] ---
    I really do...
[20:08] ---
    I really do care for him.
[20:18] ---
    What an idiotic blunder.
[20:21] ---
    I know how suspicious Richard is.
[20:24] ---
    I'll never be able to
    win him over after this.
[20:28] ---
    History has gone astray,
    and I must set it right.
[20:30] ---
    He was the true king, not his son!
[20:35] ---
    I am the Kingmaker, and I'll decide
    who is fit to wear the crown.
[20:41] ---
    Richard is with the Earl of Warwick?
    I hope he'll be all right.
[20:46] ---
    There's nothing to worry about.
[20:49] ---
    This is a message to Warwick.
[20:51] ---
    A message?
[20:53] ---
    Yes. I'm telling him that I trust him.
[20:58] ---
    You should just focus on
    the child you're carrying.
[21:02] ---
    I suppose.
[21:04] ---
    I don't love you. Not one bit.
[21:08] ---
    Once Edward is dead and my child is king,
[21:12] ---
    the Woodvilles will hold all power,
    and my revenge will be complete.
[21:18] ---
    Come out nice and healthy now,
    my little trump card.
[21:24] ---
    Aren't you glad, Richard?
[21:27] ---
    This had to happen sooner or later.
[21:30] ---
    You must have known that.
[21:33] ---
    No one will love you
    but blood and the dead.
[21:41] ---
    That's right, Richard.
[21:43] ---
    Fall into the warm depths of darkness.
