[00:23] ---
    Have the servants handle the rest.
[00:37] ---
    Oh.
[00:40] ---
    You've come to see me, Richard.
[00:46] ---
    York of the white rose.
[00:48] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[00:51] ---
    These royal houses with roses for
    their crests battled for the throne.
[00:57] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[02:38] ---
    Your Majesty!
[02:39] ---
    Are you awake?!
[02:41] ---
    You must be tired. It's been so long since
    you last attended to public business.
[02:47] ---
    Your Majesty, how do you feel?
[02:51] ---
    Warwick.
[02:53] ---
    God's will and your hand have
    freed me from my imprisonment.
[02:58] ---
    But this place...
    This place is suffocating.
[03:02] ---
    Why not depart the palace for a time?
[03:05] ---
    What?
[03:06] ---
    I mean rest your mind on a pilgrimage.
[03:11] ---
    That should be the best thing
    for your health as well.
[03:15] ---
    But if I did that...
[03:17] ---
    Have no fear. We shall bear
    the heavy burden of government.
[03:23] ---
    You needn't appear in public; we'll let
    it be known that you've taken ill.
[03:30] ---
    I suppose you're right.
[03:32] ---
    This must be a sign from God.
[03:35] ---
    Warwick, I name you Protector.
[03:39] ---
    I relinquish my authority to you.
[03:43] ---
    A wise decision, Your Majesty.
[03:49] ---
    Margaret is still in France.
[03:52] ---
    If we can assault London now--
[03:54] ---
    It's a shame about Anne.
    Weren't you fond of each other?
[03:59] ---
    And that Lancastrian brat,
    of all people, took her from you.
[04:03] ---
    If that's how it appeared to you,
[04:06] ---
    it was a trick of Warwick's machinations.
[04:08] ---
    He's a crafty man. Crafty enough
    to inveigle my own brother.
[04:14] ---
    Warwick and George are the
    greatest nobles save the king.
[04:17] ---
    Anthony and Hastings have returned to us,
[04:21] ---
    but our forces are still insufficient.
[04:25] ---
    Therefore, I'd like to ask a favor of you.
[04:30] ---
    While I admire His Majesty's
    wisdom and virtue,
[04:35] ---
    I must object to his choice
    of officers for once.
[04:38] ---
    Why, my lord?
[04:39] ---
    Because there is someone far more
    fit to be Protector than me.
[04:46] ---
    Duke George.
[04:48] ---
    This is our sovereign's will,
    but how will you take it?
[04:54] ---
    I...
[04:56] ---
    Ever since I betrayed my brother,
    I've had no choice but to trust this man.
[05:02] ---
    If you agree to it, then so will I.
[05:06] ---
    But first, I want to discuss
    the succession to--
[05:09] ---
    Our first order of business is
    to declare Edward a traitor.
[05:13] ---
    We must confiscate all his
    wealth and lands at once.
[05:16] ---
    Of course, but--
[05:17] ---
    We'll discuss that at another time.
[05:24] ---
    George and the Lancastrian prince.
[05:26] ---
    Whichever I eventually
    place on the throne,
[05:29] ---
    the choice is mine to make.
[05:32] ---
    I have everything in hand.
[05:36] ---
    I am now the King of England
    in all but name.
[05:49] ---
    Catesby, take this.
[05:52] ---
    Richard, deliver this
    Yorkist flag to George.
[05:57] ---
    Tell him that this is my final warning,
[06:01] ---
    and that he's free to
    choose how he uses it.
[06:06] ---
    Handle it carefully, and don't
    let anyone see inside it.
[06:13] ---
    Must Your Grace carry out such
    a dangerous mission yourself?
[06:17] ---
    The fact that he entrusted it to me
[06:19] ---
    means that I'm to do all
    I can to convince George.
[06:22] ---
    I see. I'm in awe of the strength
    of your brotherly bonds.
[06:28] ---
    This is less "brotherly love"
    than it is a battle for pride.
[06:33] ---
    If we lose, there will be
    no victory in the real war.
[06:36] ---
    Not for any of us.
[06:40] ---
    Your Grace.
[06:42] ---
    But the bond between George
    and Warwick is surprisingly firm.
[06:47] ---
    George stayed with Warwick even after he
    sided with Lancaster. Can I move him?
[06:53] ---
    Can I...?
[06:55] ---
    No. I will succeed.
[06:58] ---
    I'll win England back from them.
[07:00] ---
    Hey. You there.
[07:03] ---
    They're in a carriage. Outrun them.
[07:20] ---
    Well?
[07:21] ---
    Nothing unusual.
[07:23] ---
    But I hear that group from
    earlier is at a nearby inn.
[07:28] ---
    We'll lodge here for the night.
[07:30] ---
    Investigate them just
    in case, and be careful.
[07:34] ---
    This is holy ground.
[07:36] ---
    Your Majesty.
[07:37] ---
    Remove your weapons and join me in prayer.
[07:42] ---
    No matter where I run,
    death and bloodshed follow me.
[07:48] ---
    Your Majesty, you mustn't
    listen to his honeyed words.
[07:51] ---
    He schemes to bend
    Your Majesty to his will.
[07:54] ---
    --It's treachery.
    --It's treason, Your Majesty.
[07:56] ---
    --Command us.
    --Order us.
[07:57] ---
    --Your Majesty.
    --Your Majesty!
[07:59] ---
    Your Majesty!
[08:03] ---
    Please, take me somewhere far away,
[08:07] ---
    to a truly free world,
    kind and filled with love.
[08:13] ---
    Richard.
[08:18] ---
    Another infiltration, then?
[08:20] ---
    That was a crisis,
    and we had a collaborator.
[08:24] ---
    Even if we do, we'll need more--
[08:27] ---
    Your meals are ready, my good sirs.
[08:30] ---
    Did you order food?
[08:31] ---
    I serve all my guests a light meal.
    You have the place to yourselves today!
[08:35] ---
    Now please, come downstairs.
[08:51] ---
    Hey.
[08:53] ---
    We've changed our minds.
    Bring our meals to this room.
[08:56] ---
    Yes, sir. Right away.
[08:59] ---
    Honestly. We can't even
    eat in peace like this.
[09:03] ---
    Shall we change inns?
[09:06] ---
    No.
[09:08] ---
    I'm sure of it.
[09:09] ---
    So, that group we saw
    were Yorkist remnants.
[09:13] ---
    That flag you say you saw proves it.
[09:18] ---
    Outside!
[09:19] ---
    I'll follow you!
[09:21] ---
    Wait!
[09:23] ---
    Yorkist dregs!
    Have you come for his life?!
[09:27] ---
    Who?
[09:28] ---
    I won't let you!
[09:36] ---
    A Lancastrian noble?
    He seemed like a man of some status.
[09:40] ---
    What is he doing here?
[09:45] ---
    Henry?
[09:47] ---
    Richard.
[09:50] ---
    Where did he go?!
[09:51] ---
    Find him!
[09:52] ---
    Come on!
[09:55] ---
    Richard...
[09:56] ---
    Richard!
[09:58] ---
    What are you doing here?
[10:00] ---
    Richard, you're hurt!
[10:02] ---
    This isn't...
[10:09] ---
    ...my blood...
[10:11] ---
    Richard!
[10:15] ---
    Mr. Catesby, sir!
[10:17] ---
    Explanations can wait. Let's go.
[10:21] ---
    Edward.
[10:22] ---
    You took this lovely maiden's hand
[10:26] ---
    and made a firm vow to make
    her your wife, did you not?
[10:30] ---
    Yes, Mother. I gladly made her my wife.
[10:34] ---
    If that's so, why haven't you
    consummated your marriage yet?
[10:40] ---
    W-Well...
[10:41] ---
    There are any number of ways
    to put someone in the mood.
[10:45] ---
    M-Mother.
[10:48] ---
    Do it tonight. Is that clear?
[10:53] ---
    Do your duty. Love is not necessary.
[11:11] ---
    I know everything.
[11:15] ---
    You... had feelings
    for Richard, didn't you?
[11:21] ---
    I did.
[11:23] ---
    This isn't only hard on you, you know!
[11:25] ---
    I was in love with a woman myself!
[11:27] ---
    If your feelings still persist, then--
[11:30] ---
    No. I've already rid myself of them.
[11:33] ---
    Is that all?
[11:36] ---
    Was your love so easily discarded?
[11:40] ---
    Unbelievable.
[11:42] ---
    My feelings are nothing like yours.
[11:45] ---
    I swore an oath to God
    that I would have her.
[11:50] ---
    That I'd let nothing stop me.
[11:53] ---
    --Not even--
    --You have no idea!
[11:55] ---
    You can't imagine how deeply
    I cared for Duke Richard!
[11:59] ---
    Your feelings don't amount
    to much! I can tell!
[12:02] ---
    --You couldn't!
    --I do!
[12:05] ---
    I love Richard far more than you do!
[12:11] ---
    God...
[12:13] ---
    ...would never allow such a thing.
    I mean--
[12:16] ---
    It's your love He won't allow.
[12:19] ---
    If you still have regrets, I'll tell you:
[12:21] ---
    Richard...
[12:23] ---
    ...is actually a woman.
[12:26] ---
    She normally dresses as a man
    and lives hiding her true sex.
[12:32] ---
    Please be serious.
[12:35] ---
    It's a lie.
[12:36] ---
    I know that Duke Richard is as
    slender and pretty as a woman, but...
[12:41] ---
    Still,
[12:42] ---
    he did always seem to be
    hiding something deep in his heart.
[12:47] ---
    Got that? No matter how
    deeply you love Richard,
[12:51] ---
    as long as you're a woman,
    she'll never requite your feelings.
[13:05] ---
    Are you all right, Richard?
[13:09] ---
    Henry.
[13:11] ---
    Are there any yarrow leaves near here?
[13:14] ---
    They're jagged leaves on a tall plant.
[13:17] ---
    I understand. Wait for me!
[13:24] ---
    It will take a deeper
    wound than this to kill me.
[13:28] ---
    I need to rejoin Catesby
    and the others soon.
[13:32] ---
    Richard, are you at death's door?
[13:36] ---
    Die!
[13:39] ---
    Vanish alone, deep in the forest.
[13:42] ---
    No one will save you.
[13:45] ---
    No one will mourn a demon's death.
[13:48] ---
    In the end, you're all alone.
[13:52] ---
    Until the very end!
[14:01] ---
    Richard.
[14:06] ---
    We've come to punish you.
[14:09] ---
    To punish you for surviving.
[14:11] ---
    To punish you for being born.
[14:13] ---
    Back then...
[14:16] ---
    You should have died!
[14:23] ---
    Begone, demon!
[14:26] ---
    Henry.
[14:29] ---
    O Lord, protect him.
[14:32] ---
    If you must take a life,
    at least make it mine.
[14:42] ---
    Could you see the demons?
[14:50] ---
    Wolves are demons given flesh.
[14:53] ---
    The Lord God saved us.
[14:57] ---
    I thought... I thought that I
    would never see you again.
[15:03] ---
    I thought I shouldn't see you again.
[15:06] ---
    And yet...
[15:09] ---
    I've missed you all this time.
[15:12] ---
    I longed to see you, Richard.
[15:15] ---
    I'm truly, truly glad.
[15:22] ---
    Duke Richard.
[15:24] ---
    No animals will come here.
    I found it earlier.
[15:30] ---
    Aren't you cold?
[15:33] ---
    Henry... You're warm.
[15:54] ---
    It wasn't a dream.
[16:00] ---
    Richard. I'm so glad.
[16:03] ---
    It wasn't a dream.
[16:05] ---
    I'm sorry! Your wound...
[16:08] ---
    I'll pick fresh leaves for you.
[16:11] ---
    Wait.
[16:12] ---
    Richard?
[16:15] ---
    It's nothing.
[16:18] ---
    Why am I so fainthearted?
[16:20] ---
    I'll be right back.
[16:23] ---
    I can't afford to die.
[16:25] ---
    Not until England belongs
    to the House of York again.
[16:30] ---
    But if I fail to convince George,
    I might be killed on the spot.
[16:37] ---
    Hurry back, Henry.
[16:43] ---
    So, they did flee on horseback.
[16:45] ---
    Do you think the king is safe?
[16:48] ---
    The king? Henry should be in the Tower
    of London. What would bring him here?
[16:54] ---
    But Duke Richard matters more now.
[17:00] ---
    Richard!
[17:03] ---
    If it hurts, drink this.
[17:05] ---
    I found a spring, but I had
    nothing to carry water in.
[17:09] ---
    This is fine.
[17:12] ---
    Stay here. I'll leave as soon as I'm well.
[17:19] ---
    When I look up at the sky,
    I remember the first time I met you.
[17:25] ---
    You never change, do you?
[17:28] ---
    I often dream of my mother abandoning me.
[17:32] ---
    Do you still have nightmares?
[17:36] ---
    The world stays just the same,
[17:39] ---
    but my beautiful memories
    with you purify me.
[17:45] ---
    They beautify the world.
[17:53] ---
    Even alone, it wasn't frightening.
[17:56] ---
    Rather... the loneliness has been
    kind ever since losing Father.
[18:02] ---
    That's why I swore to never waver again.
[18:07] ---
    And yet...
[18:12] ---
    You weaken me.
[18:19] ---
    Should you be moving?
[18:21] ---
    I'll starve if I leave everything to you.
[18:24] ---
    You mentioned a spring?
[18:26] ---
    Yes. I marked a trail there.
[18:29] ---
    Well done. I'll fetch water today.
[18:33] ---
    You'll go alone?
[18:34] ---
    Gather branches and wait for me.
[18:42] ---
    So many signs. Is he a child?
[18:47] ---
    No one will see me here.
[19:03] ---
    Should you be in the water?
[19:06] ---
    I'm fine! I'm just washing out the blood.
[19:08] ---
    What if you collapsed? I'll help you.
[19:12] ---
    Stay back.
[19:18] ---
    If you come near me now...
[19:21] ---
    ...you'll see this body of mine.
[19:25] ---
    Richard.
[19:28] ---
    You're bloodstained.
[19:32] ---
    You're all clean now, Richard.
[19:35] ---
    You're truly... spotless.
[19:42] ---
    Oh, my.
[19:43] ---
    What a surprise. Someone beat us here.
[19:46] ---
    I'll get out first, Henry.
[19:50] ---
    I haven't seen you around.
[19:52] ---
    Village girls? I'm in luck.
[19:55] ---
    If I dress now, then...
[19:57] ---
    Oh, my. What a lovely
    face you've got, mister.
[20:01] ---
    This is our secret paradise.
[20:06] ---
    Tell you what. For you,
[20:09] ---
    I'll make it free.
[20:13] ---
    What?!
[20:15] ---
    Hey! Henry!
[20:20] ---
    Mother. Mother.
[20:24] ---
    Mother?
[20:26] ---
    How wicked of you.
    Henry can see us, you know.
[20:30] ---
    It's fine. He's still a child.
[20:34] ---
    You're the only one I truly love.
[20:37] ---
    Let's leave all the rest to Henry and
    spend every day together like this.
[20:42] ---
    You're a demon. The loveliest
    and most lascivious there is.
[20:46] ---
    You're right; I am a demon.
[20:48] ---
    A demon of love.
[20:52] ---
    My mother's infidelity and betrayal
    never stopped haunting me.
[20:59] ---
    It was like a curse.
[21:01] ---
    And that's why you fear them?
[21:03] ---
    You see women as demons?
[21:06] ---
    No. It's not women that I fear.
[21:10] ---
    What frightens me is...
[21:13] ---
    ...desire.
[21:15] ---
    Love--lust--is a sin.
[21:18] ---
    I'm in pain, but why?
[21:21] ---
    I won't love anyone.
[21:24] ---
    Why does it hurt?
[21:26] ---
    I don't need anyone to love if I have
    a friend I can trust with all my heart.
[21:32] ---
    I'm not a woman, and yet...
[21:38] ---
    You're my angel, Richard.
[21:44] ---
    I love Henry.
