0:00:03 > 0:00:05..know us by these colours for thy foes.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07This pale and angry rose...

0:00:07 > 0:00:11As symbol white of my blood-drinking hate.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18Welcome, Queen Margaret. My King.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24Civil dissension is a viperous worm,

0:00:24 > 0:00:27That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32I am far better born than is the King,

0:00:32 > 0:00:35That gold should round engirt these brows of mine.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Call forth our troops and bid them arm themselves!

0:00:40 > 0:00:43We shall return to wear our crown.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Boys!

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Edward. George.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54And...Richard!

0:00:54 > 0:01:01This programme contains some violent scenes from the start.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51DOOR OPENS

0:01:51 > 0:01:54My Lord! Your Highness...

0:01:54 > 0:01:56The Duke of York with Warwick has set out

0:01:56 > 0:01:59And with a puissant and a mighty power

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Is marching hitherward in proud array.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03They will be here by morning.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Where is the Queen?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08She's with the Duke of Somerset within.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18O... SHE LAUGHS

0:02:21 > 0:02:24..could this kiss be printed in thy hand.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37A wilderness is populous enough,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39If I but had thy heavenly company.

0:02:39 > 0:02:45For where thou art, there is the world itself,

0:02:45 > 0:02:50And where thou art not, desolation.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yield or die, Somerset.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26HE GROANS IN PAIN

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Father!

0:04:04 > 0:04:08HE CHOKES

0:04:08 > 0:04:10NECK SNAPS

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Base Suffolk!

0:04:18 > 0:04:19Warwick calls!

0:04:21 > 0:04:27Suffolk, I say, come forth and fight with me!

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Suffolk!

0:04:36 > 0:04:41For one or both of us the time is come.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58Hold, Warwick, seek you out some other chase,

0:04:58 > 0:05:02For I myself must hunt this deer to death.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10Then, nobly, York; 'tis for a crown thou fight'st.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Come, Suffolk. Defend thy rose!

0:06:05 > 0:06:07I know thee, Somerset.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Obscure and lowly swain, away.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15The honourable blood of Lancaster

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Must not be shed by such a jaded groom.

0:06:18 > 0:06:24Thou kennel, puddle, sink, whose filth and dirt

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Trouble the silver spring where England drinks.

0:06:27 > 0:06:32Thy lips that kissed the Queen shall sweep the ground

0:06:32 > 0:06:36For now the House of York Burns with revenging fire.

0:06:36 > 0:06:41It is impossible that I should die By such a lowly vassal as thyself.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Thy words move rage and not remorse in me.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49Ay, but my deeds shall stay thy fury soon.

0:06:50 > 0:06:56What, are ye daunted now? Now will ye stoop?

0:06:57 > 0:07:00True nobility is exempt from fear.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Come, show what cruelty thou can'st,

0:07:05 > 0:07:11That this my death may never be forgot.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Father!

0:07:30 > 0:07:31Where's my father?

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Suffolk!

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Where's the Duke of Suffolk?

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Father!

0:08:10 > 0:08:15O, let the vile world end

0:08:15 > 0:08:18And the promised flames of the last day

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Knit earth and heaven together!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Even at this sight

0:08:30 > 0:08:33My heart is turned to stone.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44Henceforth I will not have to do with pity.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50In cruelty will I seek out my fame.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Somerset!

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Somerset!

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Somerset!

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Somerset!

0:09:41 > 0:09:43SHE GASPS

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Think, Margaret, on revenge and cease to weep.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04SHE CRIES

0:10:07 > 0:10:11But who can cease to weep and look on this?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16My hope is gone.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Alas, my Queen.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29I fear me, love, if that I were dead

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Thou wouldst not mourn so much for me.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Margaret...

0:10:35 > 0:10:41God, our hope, will succour us.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Come, we must away from here.

0:10:51 > 0:10:57We shall to London get, where you are loved

0:10:57 > 0:11:02And where this breach now in our fortunes made

0:11:02 > 0:11:04May readily be stopped.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Now, by my sword, thou hast fought well today.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25So have we all.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27There is one old supporter of the King

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Is either slain or wounded dangerously.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33That this is true, father, behold his blood.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Why, that's my son!

0:11:38 > 0:11:43Did anyone see or hear The fate of Somerset,

0:11:43 > 0:11:46The foulest canker of the blood-red rose?

0:11:46 > 0:11:50My Lord of York, here is the Duke of Somerset,

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Who I encountered ere the battle joined.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57THEY LAUGH

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Speak thou for me and tell them what I did.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04What? Is Your Grace dead, my Lord of Somerset?

0:12:04 > 0:12:08What? Is Your Grace dead, my Lord of Somerset?

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Thus do I hope to shake King Henry's head!

0:12:11 > 0:12:14CHEERING

0:12:14 > 0:12:17If it be true the King has fled to London,

0:12:17 > 0:12:19We will pursue him there.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Sound drum and trumpets, and to London all,

0:12:22 > 0:12:26And more such days as these to us befall!

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Richard!

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Son!

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Richard!

0:14:21 > 0:14:25This is the palace of the fearful King,

0:14:25 > 0:14:26And this the regal seat.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Possess it, York,

0:14:28 > 0:14:31For this is thine and not King Henry's heirs'.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Assist me, then, sweet Warwick, and I will.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38We'll all assist you; he that flies shall die.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Thanks, gentle Vernon.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Stay by me, then, my Lords.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48And when the King comes, offer him no violence,

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Unless he seek to thrust you out perforce.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55The Queen this day here holds her parliament,

0:14:55 > 0:14:59But little thinks we shall be of her council.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01LAUGHTER

0:15:01 > 0:15:05By words and blows here let us claim our right.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07The "Bloody Parliament" shall it be called,

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Unless Plantagenet, Duke of York, be King,

0:15:10 > 0:15:13And bashful Henry deposed, whose cowardice

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Hath made us bywords to our enemies.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Then leave me not, my Lords, be resolute.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23I mean to take possession of my right.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Neither the King

0:15:31 > 0:15:34nor he that loves him best

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Dares stir a wing if Warwick shake his bells.

0:15:37 > 0:15:43And I'll plant Plantagenet, root him up who dares.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50My son!

0:15:51 > 0:15:53York and Warwick are here...

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Resolve thee, Richard; claim the English crown.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Look where the sturdy rebel stands.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14What, shall we suffer this?

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Let's pluck him down.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19My heart for anger burns; I cannot brook it!

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Be patient, gentle Earl of Westmorland.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24My gracious Lord, here in the Parliament

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Let us assail the family of York.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Far be the thought of it from Henry's heart

0:16:28 > 0:16:30To make a shambles of the Parliament-House.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Know you not the city favours them,

0:16:32 > 0:16:34And they have troops of soldiers at their beck?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37But when the Duke is slain, they will quickly fly.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42Cousin of Exeter, frowns, words and threats

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Shall be the war that Henry means to use.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48Thou, factious Duke of York, descend my throne

0:16:48 > 0:16:52And kneel for grace and mercy at my feet.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55I am thy sovereign.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57I am thine.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08For shame, come down.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10He made thee Duke of York.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13It was my inheritance, as the earldom was.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Thy father was a traitor to the crown.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Exeter, thou art a traitor to the crown,

0:17:17 > 0:17:19In following this usurping Henry.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Whom should he follow but his natural King?

0:17:21 > 0:17:25True, Clifford, and that's Richard, Duke of York.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29And shall I stand, and thou sit in my throne?

0:17:29 > 0:17:32It must and shall be so.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Content thyself.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Be Duke of Lancaster.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53let him be King.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56He is both King and Duke of Lancaster,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59And that the Lord of Westmorland shall maintain.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02And Warwick shall disprove it. You forget

0:18:02 > 0:18:06That we are those which chased you from the field

0:18:06 > 0:18:10And who slew your father, youthful Clifford.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yes, Warwick, I remember it to my grief.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17Plantagenet, of thee and these thy sons,

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Thy kinsmen and thy friends, I'll have more lives

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Than drops of blood were in my father's veins.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Will we show you our title to the crown?

0:18:26 > 0:18:30If not, our swords shall plead it in the field.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34What title hast thou, traitor, to the crown?

0:18:34 > 0:18:39Thy father was, as thou art, Duke of York.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44I am the son of Henry the Fifth,

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Who made the Dauphin and the French to stoop

0:18:47 > 0:18:49And seized upon their towns and provinces.

0:18:49 > 0:18:54Talk not of France, since thou hast lost it all.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58The Lord Protector lost it, and not I.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01When I was crowned I was but nine months old.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04You are old enough now and yet methinks you lose.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Father, tear the crown from the usurper's head!

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Sweet father, do so; set it on your head.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Sound drums and trumpets, and the King will fly!

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Sons, peace.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Think'st thou that I will leave my kingly throne,

0:19:16 > 0:19:21Wherein my grandsire and my father sat?

0:19:21 > 0:19:27No, first shall war unpeople this my realm.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30My title's good, and better far than his.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Prove it, Henry, and thou shalt be King.

0:19:47 > 0:19:52Henry the Fourth by conquest got the crown.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01'Twas by rebellion against his King.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Richard resigned the crown to Henry the Fourth,

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Whose heir my father was, and I am his.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15He rose against him and made him to resign the crown perforce.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Suppose he did it unconstrained,

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Think you 'twere prejudicial to his crown?

0:20:21 > 0:20:26No, for he could not so resign his crown,

0:20:26 > 0:20:29But that the next heir should succeed and reign.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Art thou against us, Duke of Exeter?

0:20:35 > 0:20:41My conscience tells me he is lawful King.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48All will revolt from me and turn to him.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53What mutter you, or what conspire you, Lords?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Do right unto this princely Duke of York,

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Or I will fill the house with armed men,

0:20:58 > 0:21:01And over the chair of state, where now he sits,

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Write up his title with usurping blood.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09My Lord of Warwick, hear me but one word:

0:21:13 > 0:21:20Let me for this my lifetime reign as King.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Confirm the crown to me and to mine heirs,

0:21:32 > 0:21:36And thou shalt reign in quiet while thou liv'st.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I am content.

0:21:44 > 0:21:49Richard Plantagenet, Enjoy the kingdom after my decease.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56What wrong is this unto the Prince, your son!

0:21:56 > 0:22:02Base, fearful and despairing Henry!

0:22:02 > 0:22:05How hast thou injured both thyself and us?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07I cannot stay to hear these articles.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11Come, cousin, let us tell the Queen these news.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Farewell, faint-hearted and degenerate King,

0:22:14 > 0:22:20In whose cold blood no spark of honour bides.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Turn this way, Henry, and regard them not.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27They seek revenge and therefore will not yield.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Ah, Exeter.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Why should you sigh, my Lord?

0:22:32 > 0:22:37Not for myself, Lord Warwick, but my son

0:22:37 > 0:22:44Whom I unnaturally now disinherit. But be it as it may. I here entail

0:22:44 > 0:22:50The crown to thee and to thine heirs forever,

0:22:50 > 0:22:55Conditionally, that here thou take an oath

0:22:55 > 0:22:59To cease this civil war, and, whilst I live,

0:22:59 > 0:23:03To honour me as thy King and sovereign.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18This oath I willingly take and will perform.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Long live King Henry!

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Long live King Henry.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27And long live thou, and these thy forward sons.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Now York and Lancaster are reconciled.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Accursed be he that seeks to make them foes.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Come, boys.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14CHAPEL BELL RINGS

0:24:14 > 0:24:16DOOR OPENS

0:24:22 > 0:24:26Ah, wretched man! Would I had died a maid

0:24:26 > 0:24:30And never seen thee, never borne thee son,

0:24:30 > 0:24:33Seeing thou hast proved so unnatural a father.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Hadst thou but loved him half so well as I,

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Or felt that pain which I did for him once,

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Or nourished him as I did with my blood,

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Thou wouldst have left thy dearest heart-blood there,

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Rather than have that savage Duke thine heir

0:24:48 > 0:24:50And disinherited thine only son.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Pardon me, Margaret;

0:24:52 > 0:24:55The Earl of Warwick and the Duke enforced me.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Enforced thee?

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Art thou King, and wilt be forced?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04I shame to hear thee speak.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Ah, timorous wretch.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Had I been there, which am a silly woman,

0:25:10 > 0:25:12The soldiers should have tossed me on their pikes

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Before I would have granted to that act.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20But thou prefer'st thy life to thine honour.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22And seeing thou dost,

0:25:22 > 0:25:24I here divorce myself,

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Both from thy table, Henry, and thy bed till

0:25:26 > 0:25:28That act of Parliament be repealed

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Whereby my son is disinherited.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37The Lords that have forsworn thy coward colours

0:25:37 > 0:25:42Will follow mine, to thy foul disgrace

0:25:42 > 0:25:45And utter ruin of the House of York.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Thus do I leave thee.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Stay, gentle Margaret, and hear me speak.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Thou hast spoke too much already.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Though I be not the eldest, give me leave.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09No. I can better play the orator!

0:26:09 > 0:26:11But I have reasons strong and forcible!

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Why! How now, sons?

0:26:14 > 0:26:17At a strife?

0:26:17 > 0:26:18What is thy quarrel?

0:26:18 > 0:26:20How began it first?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27No quarrel,

0:26:27 > 0:26:29but a slight contention.

0:26:29 > 0:26:30About what?

0:26:30 > 0:26:33The crown of England, Father, which is yours.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Mine, boy?

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Not till King Henry be dead.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Your right depends not on his life or death.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46Now you are heir, therefore enjoy it now.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48By giving the House of Lancaster leave to breathe,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51It will outrun you, Father, in the end.

0:26:51 > 0:26:52I took an oath...

0:26:54 > 0:26:56..that he should quietly reign.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59But for a kingdom any oath may be broken.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02I would break a thousand oaths to reign one year.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04No. God forbid your grace should be forsworn.

0:27:04 > 0:27:09So I shall, if I claim by open war.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13I will prove the opposite, if you will hear me speak.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Thou canst not, son. It is impossible.

0:27:25 > 0:27:26An oath is of no moment,

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Being not took before a true and lawful magistrate

0:27:29 > 0:27:31That hath authority over him that swears.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Henry had none, but did usurp his place.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Then, since 'twas he that made you to depose, your oath,

0:27:37 > 0:27:40My Lord, is vain and frivolous.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42Therefore, to arms.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Father, do but think how sweet a thing it is to wear a crown.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Why do we linger thus?

0:27:46 > 0:27:49I will not rest until the white rose I wear is dyed

0:27:49 > 0:27:53Even in the lukewarm blood of Henry's heart... Richard!

0:27:55 > 0:27:56Enough!

0:27:56 > 0:27:58DOGS BARK

0:27:58 > 0:28:01My Lord! We shall speak more of this.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03The Queen with all the northern earls and lords

0:28:03 > 0:28:05Intends here to besiege you in your house.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07She is hard by, my Lord.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Edward and George, you both shall stay with me.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Richard and Edmund, with thy mother fly.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Father, we will win them. Fear it not.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21MARGARET: Plantagenet!

0:28:21 > 0:28:23CECILY: Come, son! Edmund!

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Go, Richard! Look to thy mother.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Let's issue forth and bid them battle straight.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Plantagenet!

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Go to thy sister's house.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59Do not look back. Edmund and Richard will follow thee.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02CECILY: Come, Richard! Edmond!

0:29:02 > 0:29:03CLIFFORD: Plantagenet!

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Go, Mother! Clifford approaches! Go!

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Stay here, my Lords. Conceal thyselves awhile.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11CLIFFORD: Plantagenet! CECILY: Edmond! Richard!

0:29:11 > 0:29:12Go, Mother, we will follow!

0:29:57 > 0:30:00CLIFFORD: Plantagenet!

0:31:08 > 0:31:11Thou brat of this accursed Duke of York,

0:31:11 > 0:31:15Whose father slew my father, thou shall die.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19I am too mean a subject for thy wrath;

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Be thou revenged on men, and let me live.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Though speak'st in vain, poor boy;

0:31:23 > 0:31:25My father's blood

0:31:25 > 0:31:28hath stopp'd the passage where thy words should enter.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30The sight of any of the House of York

0:31:30 > 0:31:33Is as a fury to torment my soul.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35And till I root out their accursed line

0:31:35 > 0:31:39And leave not one alive, I live in hell.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Therefore... EDMUND CRIES OUT

0:31:42 > 0:31:44Let me pray,

0:31:44 > 0:31:47let me pray before I take my death.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49To thee I pray.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51Sweet Clifford, pity me!

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Pity?

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Thy father slew my father.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59Therefore, die.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22Plantagenet, I come!

0:32:22 > 0:32:23Plantagenet!

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Plantagenet!

0:33:36 > 0:33:39Come,

0:33:39 > 0:33:41rough Westmorland.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44I dare your quenchless fury to more rage.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46I will not bandy with thee word for word,

0:33:46 > 0:33:48But buckle with thee

0:33:48 > 0:33:51blows twice two for one.

0:34:30 > 0:34:32MARGARET: Hold!

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Valiant Clifford!

0:34:37 > 0:34:42For a thousand causes I would prolong awhile the traitor's life.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Come,

0:34:47 > 0:34:51make him kneel upon this dung hill here.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59MEN LAUGH

0:34:59 > 0:35:02What...

0:35:02 > 0:35:05what...

0:35:05 > 0:35:08was it you that would be England's King?

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Where is your mess of sons to back you now?

0:35:13 > 0:35:15THE MEN LAUGH

0:35:15 > 0:35:19Where is your darling Edmund?

0:35:22 > 0:35:25SHE LAUGHS, HE SOBS

0:35:25 > 0:35:27A crown for York.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33Look, York,

0:35:33 > 0:35:37I stain this napkin with the blood

0:35:37 > 0:35:39That valiant Clifford, with his weapon's spike

0:35:39 > 0:35:43Made issue from the neck of the young boy.

0:35:44 > 0:35:50I give thee this to dry thy cheeks withal.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53THE MEN LAUGH

0:35:53 > 0:35:56Why art thou patient, man?

0:35:58 > 0:36:01Thou shouldst be mad.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04York cannot speak without a crown.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08Hold you his hands,

0:36:08 > 0:36:11whilst I do set it on.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18HE GROANS IN PAIN

0:36:26 > 0:36:31THE MEN LAUGH Now looks he like a king.

0:36:31 > 0:36:36Ay, this is he that took King Henry's chair,

0:36:36 > 0:36:40And this is he was his adopted heir.

0:36:40 > 0:36:45But how is it that great Plantagenet

0:36:45 > 0:36:50Is crowned so soon and broke his solemn oath?

0:36:50 > 0:36:53As I bethink me,

0:36:53 > 0:36:55you should not be King

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Till our King Henry had shook hands with death.

0:36:59 > 0:37:07O, 'tis a fault too, too unpardonable.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15Off with the crown, and with the crown, his head!

0:37:15 > 0:37:19That is my office, for my father's sake.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23PLANTAGENET TRIES TO SPEAK

0:37:23 > 0:37:25Nay, stay,

0:37:25 > 0:37:29let's hear the orisons he makes.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35She-wolf of France,

0:37:35 > 0:37:40O tiger's heart Wrapped in a woman's hide.

0:37:40 > 0:37:41There, take thy crown,

0:37:41 > 0:37:44and with thy crown my curse

0:37:44 > 0:37:48That in thy need such comfort come to thee

0:37:48 > 0:37:52As I now reap from thy too cruel hand.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58Hard-hearted Clifford,

0:37:58 > 0:38:01take me from the world,

0:38:01 > 0:38:04My soul to heaven,

0:38:04 > 0:38:07my curse upon your heads!

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Here's for my father's death!

0:38:12 > 0:38:14KNIFE PIERCES FLESH

0:38:15 > 0:38:20And here's to right our gentle-hearted King!

0:38:20 > 0:38:22KNIFE PIERCES FLESH

0:38:27 > 0:38:31Here's to avenge beloved Somerset.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36KNIFE PIERCES FLESH

0:38:45 > 0:38:48Off with his head.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Set it atop the city gates.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28COUGHING

0:39:39 > 0:39:42I wonder how our princely father scaped.

0:39:42 > 0:39:43His sword.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08See how the morning ope's her golden gates

0:40:10 > 0:40:13Bids her farewell to the glorious sun.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Dazzle mine eyes, or do I see three suns?

0:40:21 > 0:40:22Three glorious suns...

0:40:23 > 0:40:25..each one a perfect sun,

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Not separated by the racking clouds

0:40:30 > 0:40:35But severed in a pale, clear-shining sky.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38See, see, they join, embrace and seem to kiss,

0:40:38 > 0:40:40As if they vowed some league inviolable.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44Now are they but one lamp, one light, one sun:

0:40:46 > 0:40:49In this, the heavens figure some event.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52I think it cites us, brother...

0:40:53 > 0:40:55..to the field,

0:40:55 > 0:40:58That we, the sons of brave Plantagenet,

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Shall join our lights together

0:41:01 > 0:41:04And over-shine the earth as this the world.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07But here comes one whose heavy looks foretell

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Some dreadful story hanging on his tongue.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18My Lord,

0:41:18 > 0:41:20I was a woeful looker-on

0:41:20 > 0:41:23When as the noble Duke of York was slain.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26By many hands your father was subdued,

0:41:27 > 0:41:29But only slaughtered by the ireful arm

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Of unrelenting Clifford and the Queen,

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Who crowned the gracious Duke in high despite,

0:41:35 > 0:41:36Laughed in his face,

0:41:36 > 0:41:38and when with grief he wept,

0:41:40 > 0:41:42The ruthless Queen gave him to dry his cheeks

0:41:44 > 0:41:45A napkin

0:41:45 > 0:41:48steeped in the harmless blood Of sweet young Edmund,

0:41:48 > 0:41:50by rough Clifford slain.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54After many scorns, many foul taunts,

0:41:56 > 0:41:57They took his head...

0:41:59 > 0:42:02..and high on the city gates They set the same.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05And there it doth remain.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09The saddest spectacle that e'er I viewed.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12GEORGE SOBS

0:42:22 > 0:42:23Sweet Duke of York...

0:42:25 > 0:42:27..our prop to lean upon,

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Now thou art gone, we have no staff, no stay.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33O Clifford, boist'rous Clifford,

0:42:33 > 0:42:36thou hast slain the flower of Europe for his chivalry.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Now my soul's palace is become a prison.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43For never henceforth shall I joy again.

0:42:45 > 0:42:46Never...

0:42:47 > 0:42:50..O never shall I see more joy!

0:42:50 > 0:42:52HE SOBS

0:42:52 > 0:42:54I cannot weep.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Weeping is for babes...

0:42:59 > 0:43:02..blows and revenge for me.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Richard, I bear thy name;

0:43:04 > 0:43:08and I will venge thy death Or die by attempting it.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10His name that valiant duke hath left with thee;

0:43:10 > 0:43:12His dukedom and his chair with ME is left.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16For the chair and dukedom...

0:43:17 > 0:43:19..throne and kingdom say;

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Either they are thine,

0:43:21 > 0:43:23or else thou wert not his.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26How now, fair Lords?

0:43:27 > 0:43:29Thou shalt know

0:43:29 > 0:43:32this strong right hand of mine

0:43:32 > 0:43:35Can pluck the diadem from faint Henry's head

0:43:35 > 0:43:39Were he as famous and as bold in war

0:43:39 > 0:43:44As he is famed for mildness, peace and prayer.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48But in this troublous time, what's to be done?

0:43:48 > 0:43:52Shall we go throw our coats of steel away?

0:43:52 > 0:43:53Or shall we

0:43:53 > 0:43:56on the helmets of our foes

0:43:56 > 0:43:59Tell our devotion with revengeful arms?

0:43:59 > 0:44:01If for the last,

0:44:01 > 0:44:03say, "Ay", and to it, Lords.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06Why, therefore Warwick came to seek you out,

0:44:09 > 0:44:12Now, friends, to London will we march,

0:44:12 > 0:44:15And once again cry, "Charge!" upon our foes.

0:44:15 > 0:44:16Lord Warwick,

0:44:16 > 0:44:19on thy shoulder will I lean;

0:44:19 > 0:44:20And when thou fail'st,

0:44:20 > 0:44:22God forbid the hour,

0:44:23 > 0:44:26Must Edward fall, which peril heaven forfend!

0:44:26 > 0:44:29No longer Earl of March,

0:44:29 > 0:44:30but Duke of York;

0:44:30 > 0:44:34The next degree is England's royal throne.

0:44:34 > 0:44:38For King of England shalt thou be proclaimed

0:44:38 > 0:44:41In every borough as we pass along.

0:44:41 > 0:44:42King Edward!

0:44:58 > 0:44:59Welcome, my Lords.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04Yonder's the head of that arch enemy

0:45:04 > 0:45:07That sought to be encompassed with your crown.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13Doth not the object cheer your heart, my Lord?

0:45:14 > 0:45:16To see this sight

0:45:16 > 0:45:20it irks my very soul.

0:45:20 > 0:45:24Withhold revenge, dear God.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28My gracious liege,

0:45:28 > 0:45:32this too much lenity And harmful pity must be laid aside.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34Ambitious York did level at thy crown,

0:45:35 > 0:45:38He, but a duke, would have his son a king.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40Thou, being a king,

0:45:40 > 0:45:42blest with a goodly son,

0:45:42 > 0:45:45Didst yield consent to disinherit him,

0:45:45 > 0:45:47Which argued thee a most unloving father.

0:45:50 > 0:45:52Were it not pity

0:45:52 > 0:45:54that this godly boy

0:45:54 > 0:45:57Should lose his birthright by his father's fault?

0:45:58 > 0:46:00Look on the boy

0:46:01 > 0:46:03and steel thy melting heart.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07Clifford,

0:46:07 > 0:46:09didst thou never hear

0:46:09 > 0:46:14That things ill-got had ever bad success?

0:46:14 > 0:46:16And happy

0:46:16 > 0:46:19always was it for that son

0:46:19 > 0:46:22Whose father for his hoarding went to hell?

0:46:25 > 0:46:29I'll leave my son my virtuous deeds behind,

0:46:29 > 0:46:33And would my father had left ME no more.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38Ah,

0:46:38 > 0:46:40cousin York,

0:46:40 > 0:46:43would thy best friends did know

0:46:43 > 0:46:47How it doth grieve me that thou art thus slain.

0:46:47 > 0:46:50My Lord, cheer up your spirits:

0:46:50 > 0:46:53our foes are nigh,

0:46:53 > 0:46:58And this soft courage makes your followers faint.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01You promised knighthood to our forward son.

0:47:01 > 0:47:02Unsheathe your sword

0:47:02 > 0:47:04and dub him presently.

0:47:04 > 0:47:05Edward, kneel down.

1:45:50 > 1:45:53Edward, what satisfaction canst thou make

1:45:53 > 1:45:56For all the trouble thou hast turned me to?

1:45:56 > 1:46:03Speak like a subject, proud ambitious York.

1:46:03 > 1:46:06Suppose that I am now my father's mouth.

1:46:06 > 1:46:12Resign thy chair, and where I stand kneel thou, traitor.

1:46:13 > 1:46:17By heaven, wretch, we'll plague thee for that word!

1:46:17 > 1:46:20Peace, wilful boy, or I will charm your tongue.

1:46:20 > 1:46:24Untutored lad, thou art impudent.

1:46:24 > 1:46:29I know my duty, you are all undutiful.

1:46:29 > 1:46:34Lascivious Edward, and thou perjured George.

1:46:34 > 1:46:37And thou, misshapen Dick.

1:46:39 > 1:46:44I tell ye all I am your better, traitors as ye are,

1:46:44 > 1:46:50And thou usurp'st my father's right and mine.

1:47:15 > 1:47:17Kill me too!

1:47:17 > 1:47:19Marry, and shall.

1:47:19 > 1:47:23Hold, Richard, hold, for we have done too much.

1:47:26 > 1:47:32Why should she live, to fill the world with words?

1:47:47 > 1:47:49MARGARET WAILS

1:47:55 > 1:47:59Excuse me to the King my brother,

1:47:59 > 1:48:02I'll hence to London on a serious matter.

1:48:02 > 1:48:05Ere ye come there, be sure to hear some news.

1:48:05 > 1:48:06What?

1:48:06 > 1:48:08The Tower. The Tower.

1:48:22 > 1:48:25Away with her. I charge ye, bear her hence.

1:48:25 > 1:48:30Nay, never bear me hence, dispatch me here.

1:48:30 > 1:48:32Here!

1:48:33 > 1:48:35Away with her and waft her hence to France.

1:48:38 > 1:48:40Where's Richard gone?

1:48:42 > 1:48:46To London all in haste and as I guess

1:48:46 > 1:48:50To make a bloody supper in the Tower.

1:48:52 > 1:48:54He's sudden, if a thing comes in his head.

1:49:21 > 1:49:27Victory for York and victory for Edward

1:49:27 > 1:49:32Now Duke of York, soon to be a king.

1:49:38 > 1:49:46Would he were wasted, marrow, bones and all,

1:49:46 > 1:49:50That from his loins no hopeful branch may spring

1:49:50 > 1:49:55To cross me from the golden time I look for.

1:50:00 > 1:50:02I do but dream on sovereignty...

1:50:05 > 1:50:07Like one that stands upon a promontory

1:50:07 > 1:50:11And spies a far-off shore

1:50:11 > 1:50:14So do I wish for the crown,

1:50:14 > 1:50:16being so far off.

1:50:26 > 1:50:32My eye's too quick, my heart o'erweens too much,

1:50:32 > 1:50:35Unless my hand and strength could equal them.

1:50:37 > 1:50:40Well, say there is no kingdom then for Richard,

1:50:40 > 1:50:43What other pleasure can the world afford?

1:50:44 > 1:50:48I'll make my heaven in a lady's lap,

1:50:48 > 1:50:51And witch sweet ladies with my words and looks.

1:50:55 > 1:50:56O!

1:50:57 > 1:51:00O miserable thought,

1:51:00 > 1:51:03and more unlikely

1:51:03 > 1:51:07Than to accomplish twenty golden crowns!

1:51:10 > 1:51:16Why, Love forswore me in my mother's womb,

1:51:16 > 1:51:21And did corrupt frail nature with some bribe,

1:51:21 > 1:51:25To shrink mine arm up like a withered shrub,

1:51:25 > 1:51:28To place an envious mountain on my back,

1:51:28 > 1:51:33Where sits deformity to mock my body,

1:51:33 > 1:51:36To shape my legs of an unequal size,

1:51:36 > 1:51:38To disproportion me in every part,

1:51:38 > 1:51:40Like to a CHAOS!

1:51:45 > 1:51:48And am I then a man to be beloved?

1:51:50 > 1:51:54O monstrous fault, to harbour such a thought!

1:52:00 > 1:52:04Then, since the earth affords no joy to me,

1:52:06 > 1:52:08I'll make my heaven to dream upon the crown,

1:52:10 > 1:52:15And, whiles I live, account this world but hell.

1:52:18 > 1:52:20DOOR CREAKS

1:52:26 > 1:52:30And yet I know not how to get the crown,

1:52:30 > 1:52:33For many lives stand between me and home,

1:52:37 > 1:52:40And I, like one lost in a thorny wood,

1:52:40 > 1:52:43Seeking a way and straying from the way,

1:52:43 > 1:52:48Torment myself to catch the English crown.

1:52:50 > 1:52:54And from that torment I will free myself,

1:52:54 > 1:52:58Or hew my way out with a bloody axe.

1:53:04 > 1:53:08Why, I can smile,

1:53:08 > 1:53:12and murder whiles I smile,

1:53:12 > 1:53:17And cry "content!" to that which grieves my heart,

1:53:19 > 1:53:24And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,

1:53:24 > 1:53:28And frame my face to all occasions.

1:53:30 > 1:53:33Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?

1:53:33 > 1:53:39Tut, were it farther off, I'll pluck it down.

1:54:03 > 1:54:06KEY TURNS IN LOCK

1:54:10 > 1:54:12DOOR CREAKS

1:54:19 > 1:54:20Good day, my Lord.

1:54:23 > 1:54:26What, at your book so hard?

1:54:32 > 1:54:36Sirrah, leave us to ourselves.

1:54:36 > 1:54:38We must confer.

1:54:49 > 1:54:52So flies the reckless shepherd from the wolf.

1:54:54 > 1:54:58What scene of death hath we two now to act?

1:54:58 > 1:55:03Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind,

1:55:03 > 1:55:06The thief doth fear each bush an officer.

1:55:06 > 1:55:10Ah, kill me with thy weapons, not with words!

1:55:10 > 1:55:12My breast can better brook thy dagger's point

1:55:12 > 1:55:16Than can my ears that tragic history.

1:55:16 > 1:55:18But wherefore dids't thou come?

1:55:18 > 1:55:21Is't for my life?

1:55:21 > 1:55:23Think'st thou I am an executioner?

1:55:23 > 1:55:25A persecutor I am sure, thou art,

1:55:25 > 1:55:28If murdering innocents be executing,

1:55:28 > 1:55:32Why then, thou art an executioner.

1:55:32 > 1:55:35Thy son I killed for his presumption.

1:55:44 > 1:55:49Hadst thou been killed when first thou didst presume

1:55:49 > 1:55:53Thou hadst not lived to kill a son of mine.

1:55:53 > 1:55:59And thus I prophesy - that many a thousand,

1:55:59 > 1:56:05Men for their sons, wives for their husbands,

1:56:05 > 1:56:09Orphans for their parents' timeless deaths,

1:56:09 > 1:56:14Shall rue the hour that ever thou wast born.

1:56:14 > 1:56:19The owl shriek'd at thy birth, an evil sign,

1:56:19 > 1:56:26Dogs howled, and hideous tempest shook down trees.

1:56:26 > 1:56:30Thy mother felt more than a mother's pain,

1:56:30 > 1:56:34And, yet brought forth less than a mother's hope,

1:56:34 > 1:56:39To wit, an indigested and deformed lump.

1:56:40 > 1:56:44Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born,

1:56:44 > 1:56:48To signify thou camest to bite the world.

1:56:48 > 1:56:50And, if the rest be true which I have...

1:56:50 > 1:56:53I'll hear no more! Die, prophet in thy speech!

1:56:53 > 1:56:55HENRY GASPS

1:56:55 > 1:56:58For this amongst the rest, was I ordained.

1:56:58 > 1:57:00SWORD SLASHES

1:57:02 > 1:57:07Ay, and for much more slaughter after this.

1:57:08 > 1:57:11O God, forgive my sins,

1:57:12 > 1:57:15And pardon thee.

1:57:20 > 1:57:22RICHARD PANTS

1:57:27 > 1:57:32See how my sword weeps for the poor King's death!

1:57:34 > 1:57:37O may such purple tears be always shed

1:57:37 > 1:57:41From them that wish the downfall of our house.

1:57:41 > 1:57:44If any spark of life be yet remaining,

1:57:44 > 1:57:48Down, down to hell, and say I sent thee thither,

1:57:48 > 1:57:53I that have neither pity, love, nor fear.

1:57:53 > 1:57:55RICHARD GRUNTS

1:58:16 > 1:58:19Indeed, 'tis true that Henry told me of,

1:58:19 > 1:58:21For often have I heard my mother say

1:58:21 > 1:58:24I came into this world with my legs forward.

1:58:24 > 1:58:26Had I not reason, think ye, to make haste,

1:58:26 > 1:58:29And seek their ruin that usurp'd our right?

1:58:31 > 1:58:37Then, since the heavens have shaped my body so...

1:58:39 > 1:58:44Let hell make crook'd my mind to answer it.

1:58:47 > 1:58:50I have no brother,

1:58:50 > 1:58:54I am like no brother.

1:58:54 > 1:58:58And this word "love",

1:58:58 > 1:59:00which gray-beards call divine,

1:59:00 > 1:59:03Be resident in men like one another

1:59:03 > 1:59:05And not in me.

1:59:07 > 1:59:11I am myself alone.

1:59:30 > 1:59:35EDWARD: 'Once more we sit in England's royal throne,

1:59:35 > 1:59:39'Re-purchased with the blood of enemies.

1:59:39 > 1:59:42'Thus have we swept suspicion from our seat

1:59:42 > 1:59:45'And made our footstool of security.'

1:59:45 > 1:59:47Listen to me!

1:59:47 > 1:59:49I am the Queen!

1:59:51 > 1:59:54I am the QUEEN!

1:59:54 > 1:59:58'Prince Edward, for thee, thine uncles and myself

2:00:01 > 2:00:05'That thou might'st repossess the crown in peace,

2:00:05 > 2:00:08'And of our labours thou shalt reap the gain.'

2:00:08 > 2:00:10BABY CRIES

2:00:10 > 2:00:13Clarence and Gloucester,

2:00:13 > 2:00:16Kiss your princely nephew, brothers both.

2:00:22 > 2:00:25Thanks, noble Clarence.

2:00:25 > 2:00:28Worthy brother, thanks.

2:00:31 > 2:00:37And, that I love the tree from whence thou sprang'st,

2:00:37 > 2:00:41Witness the loving kiss I give the fruit.

2:01:09 > 2:01:14To say the truth, Judas kissed his master

2:01:14 > 2:01:21And cried "All hail!" when as he meant all harm.

2:01:21 > 2:01:23Now am I seated as my soul delights,

2:01:23 > 2:01:27Having my country's peace and brothers' loves.

2:01:27 > 2:01:30Sound drums and trumpets! Hail the House of York!
