**[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!
