[00:04] ---
    You're my angel, Richard.
[00:11] ---
    If...
[00:12] ---
    If I stay with you, we won't
    be able to remain friends.
[00:18] ---
    How shallow I am.
[00:20] ---
    The moment I realize I love him,
    I desire his love in return.
[00:24] ---
    What's wrong?
[00:26] ---
    You'll be cold on your own, Richard.
[00:35] ---
    York of the white rose.
[00:37] ---
    Lancaster of the red rose.
[00:40] ---
    These royal houses with roses for
    their crests battled for the throne.
[00:46] ---
    People call their strife
    the "Wars of the Roses."
[02:27] ---
    Henry seems to have fled
    while on a pilgrimage.
[02:30] ---
    You've seen his face,
    have you not, Mr. Catesby?
[02:33] ---
    If we managed to capture him, then--
[02:35] ---
    Saving His Grace takes priority!
[02:39] ---
    Give the places we've
    already checked another look.
[02:42] ---
    Yes, sir!
[02:49] ---
    What's this?
[03:01] ---
    It can't be.
[03:02] ---
    No, I'm sure of it. That man is...
[03:05] ---
    Henry.
[03:06] ---
    Your Grace!
[03:10] ---
    Catesby.
[03:11] ---
    Wait; he's not our enemy.
[03:15] ---
    I was too injured to move for a time,
    and this man saved me.
[03:21] ---
    But that man is--
[03:24] ---
    My friend.
[03:26] ---
    Catesby, wait a moment.
[03:34] ---
    He's an old acquaintance of mine.
[03:37] ---
    He came to take me away.
[03:39] ---
    No!
[03:41] ---
    I told you that I would leave
    as soon as I was well.
[03:45] ---
    There are things that I must do.
[03:48] ---
    Winning George to our cause
    and annihilating Lancaster.
[03:53] ---
    And... And when you've done them?
[03:55] ---
    Can we be together always then?
[03:59] ---
    Once the war is over,
    there will be no place for me.
[04:04] ---
    Let's promise to meet
    again under that tree.
[04:09] ---
    I'll always be waiting for you here.
[04:14] ---
    Very well.
[04:16] ---
    You have my word.
[04:20] ---
    I'm certain it will all be over
    by this time next year.
[04:25] ---
    Then we'll meet here in a year's time.
[04:29] ---
    It's a promise, Richard.
[04:32] ---
    A promise.
[04:39] ---
    Your Grace, who was that man?
[04:42] ---
    I don't know his past, although
    he said he was a shepherd.
[04:48] ---
    Catesby, have you ever loved someone?
[04:53] ---
    If your love could never be requited,
[04:57] ---
    would you still want to be with them?
[05:00] ---
    To stay beside them forever,
    unable to tell them how you feel?
[05:11] ---
    What should I do now?
[05:13] ---
    In George's eyes, I'm a traitor. What hope
    do I have in a straightforward talk?
[05:28] ---
    I remember when Christmas was approaching.
[05:32] ---
    The time when I lost Father.
[05:37] ---
    George can't have forgotten either.
[05:45] ---
    What's this about?!
[05:47] ---
    Duke George.
[05:48] ---
    Why, if it isn't Your Grace!
[05:51] ---
    Please believe me! I really saw him!
[05:54] ---
    He's merely a lying drunk, sir.
[05:56] ---
    Nonsense! I saw him with my own two eyes!
[06:00] ---
    Saw who?
[06:02] ---
    A ghost with long hair.
[06:05] ---
    He glides along the castle walls
    like this, glowing the whole time.
[06:13] ---
    Huh? I could swear I see
    him behind Your Grace.
[06:17] ---
    Here's sixpence. Now go home.
[06:22] ---
    Take care, sir.
    Spirits are stronger this time of year.
[06:29] ---
    If anything's haunting me, it's no ghost.
[06:34] ---
    It's...
[06:36] ---
    What's the matter?
[06:39] ---
    The banquet is about to start.
[06:42] ---
    Now for the best part!
[06:43] ---
    Let's choose tonight's "king"!
[06:46] ---
    If there's a bean in your cake,
    you're king!
[06:49] ---
    Who's the lucky winner?
[06:51] ---
    Why, it's Lord Warwick!
[06:53] ---
    The throne is yours, Your Majesty.
[06:55] ---
    I suppose I've no choice.
[06:59] ---
    That should have been my seat.
[07:02] ---
    Why is Warwick sitting on that throne?
[07:06] ---
    No. Henry is king, and the Lancastrian
    prince will succeed him.
[07:11] ---
    Where did I go wrong?
[07:13] ---
    Now, Your Majesty, I shall summon
    the actors for the masque.
[07:17] ---
    I was meant to be the king's nearest
    brother and his heir apparent.
[07:22] ---
    Your Grace, the attendees wish to
    present you with this splendid wine.
[07:26] ---
    Bring me all you have; I'll drink all
    the wine in the castle dry!
[07:31] ---
    I am the lawful King of England!
[07:36] ---
    Where is he? Where is my son?
[07:40] ---
    Father!
[07:45] ---
    Father, I pledge my life to
    the battle for your crown!
[07:51] ---
    Will you join me, George?
[07:53] ---
    I will! I swear it, Father!
[07:58] ---
    Your Grace, a breath of fresh air
    might do you good.
[08:04] ---
    Oh, yes.
[08:06] ---
    You've had a bit too much to drink.
[08:11] ---
    I guess I got in the way of your party.
[08:16] ---
    I can leave without Your Majesty's help.
[08:27] ---
    Did I... Did I make the wrong choice?
[08:30] ---
    Even if I did, it's too late now.
[08:36] ---
    An actor from the masque?
[08:41] ---
    George.
[08:44] ---
    My son.
[08:46] ---
    George, where is my crown?
[08:51] ---
    Will a son of York dye
    the white rose with blood?
[08:55] ---
    I-Impossible.
[08:58] ---
    No, it can't be you.
[09:00] ---
    George, sully not the spirit of York!
[09:04] ---
    Do so, and you will
    receive your just deserts!
[09:08] ---
    Come. Place the crown in my hands.
[09:12] ---
    Stop, Father!
[09:28] ---
    A virtuoso performance, Catesby.
[09:31] ---
    You were the spitting image of my father.
[09:35] ---
    Continue spreading rumors of the ghost.
[09:39] ---
    Give George a glimpse of our
    father at every opportunity.
[09:44] ---
    Yes, sir!
[09:45] ---
    The more pressure we apply,
    the more effective that flag will prove.
[09:51] ---
    George is simple. This will move
    him more than any argument.
[09:56] ---
    It means making my father's
    ghost our tool,
[09:59] ---
    but all of this is to avenge his death.
[10:02] ---
    You're determined to defeat Lancaster?
    To defeat Henry?
[10:06] ---
    Naturally. He murdered my father.
[10:10] ---
    I won't let him off with
    the Tower next time.
[10:13] ---
    I swear that I'll slay him
    on the battlefield.
[10:17] ---
    My Lord!
[10:18] ---
    I bring news!
    Edward has set sail for England
[10:22] ---
    with the support of Burgundy!
[10:26] ---
    Just you wait, Warwick.
[10:28] ---
    I'm going to rouse a tempest.
[10:32] ---
    It will rage until a golden
    crown gleams upon my brow!
[10:40] ---
    What is your command, My Lord?!
[10:42] ---
    Do you honestly believe that the King
    of France has taken no measures?
[10:46] ---
    Full speed ahead!
[10:48] ---
    Sail for our England's sake, even if
    the storm winds would deny us!
[10:58] ---
    Your Majesty.
[10:59] ---
    I wondered where you'd gone.
[11:01] ---
    Please come inside. You'll take ill.
[11:05] ---
    I'll remain here. I will not go to war.
[11:09] ---
    That's for the best.
[11:12] ---
    We shall speedily apprehend the Yorkist
    nobles and gather loyal forces to--
[11:17] ---
    Don't kill them!
[11:19] ---
    I've had my fill of war.
[11:21] ---
    Overawe them with a massive
    army and drive them off.
[11:26] ---
    The war will end if we stamp out our foes.
[11:30] ---
    Now, gentlemen, take leave of His Majesty.
[11:33] ---
    Farewell, my sovereign.
[11:35] ---
    Farewell, Your Majesty.
[11:38] ---
    By Your Majesty's leave.
[11:41] ---
    Allow me to kiss Your Majesty's hand
[11:45] ---
    as proof of my loyalty.
[11:51] ---
    Virtuous George,
[11:54] ---
    may God be with you.
[11:59] ---
    The war will end?
[12:02] ---
    Even if the body withers, the soul--
    the spirit of vengeance--will endure.
[12:14] ---
    You know I'm not going to try anything.
[12:17] ---
    This is to fool my mother.
[12:23] ---
    I'm disappointed in you, Edward.
[12:25] ---
    Mother! You see, um--
[12:26] ---
    Even Henry did his duty as a man.
[12:30] ---
    Is your courage less than his?
[12:32] ---
    O-Of course not!
[12:34] ---
    No, it must be.
[12:37] ---
    You're less of a man than Henry is.
[12:41] ---
    You're wrong. That can't be true.
[12:47] ---
    Then prove it to me here and now.
[12:52] ---
    In your mother's presence.
[12:56] ---
    A king must perform before
    far more subjects than this.
[13:00] ---
    If this is beyond you,
    then you are unfit for the crown.
[13:05] ---
    You understand, don't you, Anne?
[13:09] ---
    No matter how deeply you love Richard,
[13:12] ---
    as long as you're a woman,
    she'll never requite your feelings.
[13:22] ---
    Don't you mind?
[13:25] ---
    I'm your wife.
[13:29] ---
    Duke Richard will never smile on me again.
[13:36] ---
    Your wife has more resolve than you.
    It's like looking at Henry and me.
[13:40] ---
    Silence!
[13:43] ---
    I'm not like my father!
[13:45] ---
    And inferior to him?
    I could never be that!
[13:49] ---
    Watch, Mother! I'll prove that
    I'm a man to be proud of!
[14:01] ---
    Wait.
[14:03] ---
    I'll be your wife,
    but promise me one thing.
[14:08] ---
    If you capture Duke Richard
    in battle, don't kill him.
[14:14] ---
    That was already my intention.
[14:25] ---
    We're having no difficulties
    raising an army.
[14:28] ---
    Yes, my lord. And Queen
    Margaret's fleet should soon arrive.
[14:34] ---
    Once her reinforcements swell our ranks,
[14:37] ---
    the sham army Edward borrowed from
    foreign powers will be no match for us.
[14:43] ---
    My Lord, who shall
    welcome Queen Margaret--
[14:45] ---
    I've already sent someone.
[14:50] ---
    The most trustworthy man I have.
[14:57] ---
    Well done, Richard. I must thank
    God for our safe reunion.
[15:02] ---
    Edward, are these all of our forces?
[15:07] ---
    I doubt that this will be
    enough to win in battle.
[15:11] ---
    That's why I sent you.
[15:14] ---
    Unless George returns to us...
[15:19] ---
    ...then this is where Edward must fall.
[15:30] ---
    George.
[15:32] ---
    Traitor! Have you forgotten that
    my sister is the true queen?!
[15:36] ---
    How could you forsake your
    own brother for Henry?!
[15:39] ---
    Be silent, Anthony.
[15:42] ---
    Answer me, George. Who do you serve?
[15:47] ---
    I serve the King of England.
    Isn't that obvious?
[15:52] ---
    George, I am bound for York
    as merely the Duke of York.
[15:58] ---
    I have no other motive. Let me pass.
[16:01] ---
    That I cannot do.
[16:05] ---
    Brother, I came here to serve a king!
[16:10] ---
    Not a duke!
[16:13] ---
    The House of York is the house of our
    father, who shed his blood for England.
[16:19] ---
    I cannot bring it to ruin.
[16:21] ---
    Edward, proclaim yourself king at once!
[16:25] ---
    This time, I will be your subject!
[16:30] ---
    George!
[16:32] ---
    My brother!
[16:35] ---
    You are ten times dearer to me
    now than when we parted.
[16:38] ---
    Dearer than when I harbored
    not a drop of hatred for you.
[16:43] ---
    E-Edward.
[16:46] ---
    Warwick and his allies are
    raising troops everywhere.
[16:50] ---
    We'll slip between them and
    reach London before they do.
[16:54] ---
    They've left Henry alone in the palace.
[16:57] ---
    Once we get inside, he's ours.
[17:00] ---
    Henry!
[17:05] ---
    We're bound for London?
[17:07] ---
    We plan to head south after
    raising troops in York.
[17:11] ---
    More should flock to our banner
    now that George has joined us.
[17:16] ---
    Your Grace.
[17:19] ---
    Please allow me to see to Henry.
[17:22] ---
    What do you mean?
[17:24] ---
    If you were to--
[17:25] ---
    Mr. Catesby!
[17:27] ---
    Lord Hastings summons you.
[17:30] ---
    Return to your master.
    Your mission with me is over.
[17:37] ---
    With my own hands...
[17:39] ---
    My name is Edward Plantagenet,
    and I am the rightful King of England!
[17:45] ---
    --...I'll take vengeance on
    Henry for Father's death!
    --Now, onward, brave soldiers!
[17:54] ---
    So, you came to see me.
[17:56] ---
    Please tell me: have I been a bad king?
[18:03] ---
    I never turned a deaf ear
    to my people's pleas.
[18:09] ---
    I never deprived them of their
    wealth or made them suffer.
[18:15] ---
    I...
[18:16] ---
    I never wanted to be king.
[18:23] ---
    Do you want to go outside?
[18:25] ---
    Of course you do; it's a lovely day.
[18:29] ---
    Once it gets a little warmer,
    so many flowers will bloom.
[18:33] ---
    Then summer will come.
[18:36] ---
    Trees will bear fruit and
    their leaves will fall.
[18:40] ---
    And then, I'll be able...
[18:46] ---
    I'll be able to see you again.
[18:50] ---
    Henry!
[18:52] ---
    Where are you?!
[18:57] ---
    Richard?
[18:59] ---
    Buckingham! Where is King Henry?!
[19:01] ---
    How should I know?
[19:03] ---
    Warwick had me locked up
    until mere moments ago.
[19:10] ---
    Wait! Are you planning to kill Henry?!
[19:16] ---
    Your Majesty!
[19:17] ---
    Please flee! The Yorkists have
    invaded to take you prisoner!
[19:23] ---
    If I'm captured now,
    I'll never see Richard again.
[19:29] ---
    Hurry! The confusion will mask
    your escape if you go now!
[19:36] ---
    What of Henry?!
[19:37] ---
    We've searched the house,
    but he's not here.
[19:40] ---
    Search all of London!
[19:42] ---
    I'll reward whoever finds him!
[19:45] ---
    It wouldn't be wise to kill Henry now.
[19:48] ---
    Rash actions will cost you
    your brother's trust.
[19:54] ---
    You speak like a loyal subject.
[19:59] ---
    Look at that.
[20:02] ---
    Edward.
[20:03] ---
    Elizabeth!
[20:09] ---
    I'm so glad you're safe.
[20:12] ---
    I'm sorry for my delay.
[20:13] ---
    Edward, this is your son.
[20:19] ---
    O Lord!
[20:23] ---
    Bless this boy!
[20:25] ---
    His heir is born,
    and his brother returned.
[20:29] ---
    Even if Edward were to die now, the throne
    would not be yours immediately.
[20:34] ---
    When did I wish for the throne?
[20:38] ---
    It's high time you were honest.
[20:40] ---
    I refuse to believe that my words
    have never once moved you.
[20:51] ---
    I'll always be waiting for you here.
[21:00] ---
    I'll annihilate Lancaster
    and avenge my father.
[21:04] ---
    Then, it will all be over.
[21:07] ---
    Once there are no more
    battlefields, I'll be--
[21:10] ---
    I thought you were like me--
    smoldering with constrained ambition.
[21:18] ---
    It appears I was mistaken.
[21:22] ---
    How did they avoid our notice?
[21:25] ---
    We were supposed to have them
    hemmed in. What is George doing?!
[21:31] ---
    Well, no matter. Edward can
    take London or kill Henry,
[21:37] ---
    but he can't change the fact
    that our forces outnumber his.
[21:42] ---
    Edward, I promise that I'll
    take your head myself!
