All language subtitles for The Kings Thief (1955) eb-en

When Charles II was King
of England, it was said that...

...never spoke in foolish words,
but he also did not listen to the wise words.

This is the story, how a thief,
more foolish than wise...

...finally made him listen.

Captain, I will not be long with His Majesty.

His Highness the Duke of Brampton.

His Highness the Duke of Brampton,
Your Majesty.

Good morning, Brampton, what brings you
in Whitehall, such a fine day?

Your signature, Your Majesty.

My signature? But the Saints, never a name
it wasn't as sought after as mine.

Oh Brampton!

Arthur Oventon, is one of
my most loyal supporters.

It was, Your Majesty.

Last month Marquis Hawthorne,
and this week Oventon.

Your Majesty, you understand that he does not thank me
to accuse my countrymen of treason.

I know I know...
It is that I discover, that I am betrayed by people...

...who fought Cromwell with me,
who called me friend.

- Why;
- Greed.

They thought that after the war, the fortune of the followers
of Cromwell would go to them, and not to the Crown.

Seeing that it was not so, they became traitors.

Your Majesty must get rid of them
the traitors, before they make a new revolution.

- God willing, let him be the last.
- I would be happy about that, Your Majesty.

However, from this great evil,
something good is coming.

Your Majesty's treasuries,
they were filled with the wealth of these people.

Sad way to get respectable.

By the way, Brampton, I learned that
there were riots in london last night.

12 men dead, 100 men in prison.

They claim to be soldiers who fought for her
my recovery, and never got paid for it.

There were some scuffles, I guess.

However, all regular soldiers were paid
at the end of the war, when they were dismissed.

Glad to hear.

You're doing a great job, Brampton.
I am indeed indebted to you. / - Your Majesty.

- Brampton...is that yours?
- Yes it is, Your Majesty.

- I bet it'll have some juicy names in there, huh?
- And often...annoyingly.

- Then, take it, I have enough problems of my own.
- Your Majesty.

...on the other side of the English Channel,
in Normandy.

- Sir Edward!
- Hello, Simon.

If we knew...
We are up and down.

- Celestine, Sir Edward, came from London.
- Oh, Sir Edouard...

- Quick, quick, drop it to Lady Mary!
- Yes, immediately, immediately.

What is happening here; Edward!

I knew father would send you!

Now I will have you company on the journey to England.
Tell me, tell me all about England, please.

Ten years of exile, and now the war is over,
Cromwell is defeated and Charles is on the throne.

Tell about my father, how is he,
why doesn't he write to me?

Mary, you will never be able to
to return to England.

Will I never return to England? Why;

Because...your father is...he's dead, Mary.

Dead;

They hanged him for treason against him
His Majesty King Charles.

Treason...against Charles?

Oh, no! No!

She loved Charles, she loved him.

There is a letter, your father's last.
It's directed at me, but...

You will have this house. He says there are
money, here in France, to support yourself.

He charges me to make sure you get them.
You have to hear the rest.

"For as long as Charles will be deceived
by treacherous counsellors..."

"...deaths like mine,
they will multiply."

"As trustful old men
accused of treason..."

What a trusty old man
accused my father of being a traitor?

- James, Duke of Brampton.
- But, in the trial...

Brampton's word was believed,
and will stay until his treason is proven.

- What betrayal?
- Oh, there are rumors.

Rumors, that half of what Brampton seizes,
they do not go to the Crown, but to his pocket.

Brampton, the richest man
of England steals money?

Why didn't anyone tell the King?

- Such an unproven accusation...
- Edward, I'm going back to England.

Stop!

- Clean work.
- Okay, tie them up! / - Forward!

- Well, sir...
- If you want gold...

Come on, these won't last us a week.
But, this though... That's why we stopped you.

- Do you know you are delaying a Royal mission?
- I do not care! The Rings!

I mentioned it because slavery
to the King are well rewarded.

Not in our experience. We all worked
for the King and we haven't been paid yet.

- But, for this work...
- Oh, you're threatening us.

I am unable to threaten, I am outnumbered.
Maybe another time.

- I'm afraid there's nothing else to take.
- Let me judge this. Go ahead, please.

- Well, what is this?
- I gave you what I had.

This is Royal property
and it has no value to you.

- But for someone it has, judging by your face.
- The book is worth nothing.

- All right, Jack, bring the horses.
- Wait! Give me the book, and I won't stalk you.

- But I like the chase.
- You will be hanged for this...

- ...from the tallest tree! I swear it!
- Will they hang me?

I bet all your gold, sir,
that they will hang you before me! Come on!

Jack! The carriage horses!

I'm afraid you must walk, sir!

INN
THE CROSS OF KING RICHARDOU

Well, man, who is she?
your best price for everything?

- Come on, Winds, how much?
- Don't go laughing at us again, Mr. Winds.

I'm sorry, gentlemen. These jewels,
I can't take them! Good night.

- One minute, fat man! Explain!
- Are they fake?

They are real. Very real indeed, eh, Winds?

- I have to go, excuse me, gentlemen
- Maybe we'll forgive you if you explain yourself!

- It's simple enough, Sheldon, We just got robbed
the Most High the Duke of Brampton. / - Go away!

- No, he knows, Michael. We can not
let's leave him. Here he is...; / - No!

No, you don't have to, Skene. He also knows that the tide
in the river it is very strong at this time...

...and someone tied to a stake,
drowns quickly. Outside!

Oh, thank you, gentlemen, thank you.

- The Duke of Brampton?
- The King's favorite.

Who hangs you like that!

Me, I get my share of the coins
and I leave immediately for the colonies.

With your share of coins, you are not enough
not even to the shore, Sheldon. But with that, maybe...

Look at these names.
All noble, all rich.

And what wealth! Look, their estates,
their money, all recorded.

- Their jewels, animals and even their armies.
- Look here, date on each name, look!

- And red lines on the first two.
- Hawthorne, Oventon?

- You know him;
- Oventon...I've heard the name somewhere.

- Michael, what is all this?
- I'm not sure.

For Brampton, the jewelry theft
it was nothing, but the book...

Countess of Clarendon!

Mrs. Mary Knight!

- Mrs...Knight?
- Yes.

Sorry,
but our club is for members only.

- Yes, I was hesitant to come, but Sir Edward Scott...
- Oh, is Sir Edward your patron?

- Are you Mrs. Bennet too? / - Yes.
- Sir Edward was right. You are beautiful.

Thank you my dear. On the occasion,
where is sir edward I haven't seen him lately.

He is in France. He granted me
his home for the season.

- Want to try your luck?
- I think yes.

Well, let's see.
At Lord Aubrey's table, they play Lute.

It's not my style,
but it serves its purpose.

It takes a lot of thought. I would recommend you
Lord Aubrey, but not the game.

Then there's Hazard. It is new
and it is the new fashion in Whitehall.

The frowning man
he is Sir Stanley Adams. Very rich.

I doubt you can play there. Sir Stanley
plays huge amounts. Losing thousands every hour.

And of course, there is Floman,
where the Duke of Brampton plays.

Seven.

Yes, Floman.

Fine, follow me.

I wish I had your luck, Your Highness!

Oh, you're lucky.
We do not make introductions at the tables.

I will notify someone,
to take care of your registration.

- Looks like tonight is your night, Your Highness.
- Seven. One moment, sir.

- The lady didn't play.
- Five.

- Checkers.
- Four.

- Four.
- Checkers.

- Four cents on the table.
- Amazing!

Seven.

Your Excellency, I hope he will give me one last
opportunity, to get back my lost.

- I think you are playing too thick.
- I would appreciate a final attempt.

- Does the pin have value?
- It belonged to my mother.

And how much do you value her?

- 200 crowns?
- We'll make 300 of them.

- You are very generous.
- You are very beautiful.

With your permission, gentlemen...

If you allow me,
your favorite number, seven?

And yours, five.

Five.

These jewels, Your Highness,
for what you have earned from the lady.

- The sublime is dangerous.
- Your Excellency and I, we have played before.

In fact, we just recently put one on
bet, who is going to lose it.

I don't remember any bets.

Something related to a collar, a kind of collar
worn around the neck.

- Oh, yes, yes, a collar.
- You are playing, Your Excellency.

- Ten.
- Seven.

- Ten.
- You would do well to listen to the lady.

- Captain Herrick...
- Not yet, Your Highness.

Want to take some more risks?

It will be hard to deal with
the table with gold...

...but I have in my possession,
something much more precious.

- The crown jewels, perhaps?
- No, a book. / - A book!

Worthless to an ignoramus,
but for a collector of your reputation...

Do you have it with you?

With street thieves and knife pullers?
No, Your Highness. But rest assured, it is safe.

- I'm sorry gentlemen, but it was late.
- It would be my pleasure to accompany you in your carriage...

- ...but I can't refuse the loser
the opportunity to ref. / - Of course.

A jewel as fine as this pin,
must be displayed with beauty...

- ...and not to hide from someone
moldy safe.

No, Your Highness, if I am to get my jewel back,
it should be done the way i lost it.

- Will you give me this chance?
- Thank you, but how will I find you?

I will find you, Your Excellency.

As for this book, sir, you have piqued my interest.
Can we discuss the matter privately?

- We can, Your Excellency, but some other time.
- How can I find you?

I will find you too, Your Highness.

Herrick, I want you to watch him, you hear?

Sir;

You talked about thieves and knife pullers.

- Did I worry you?
- No, but the night is dark and...

Oh, of course, ma'am. My pleasure.

- You move with confidence, Mr. Dermot,
are you military / - No.

- Maybe you were once?
- Maybe.

With the streets of London so dark,
you feel safe to be protected by the army.

- There isn't much left for the bandits.
- I am a pitiable victim.

Then again, it might be worth it to steal it.

- Thank you, Michael Dermott.
- Maybe we'll play Floman again.

But, sir, robbers are not only in the streets.
Do you want to escort me to safety inside?

Impressive room.
Crossed swords, armory.

Ah, dagger!

Pipes, smoke. Kinda old, but enough
liquid for recent use. Do you live alone?

- Totally.
- Your tastes are very masculine.

The house is owned by Sir Edward Scott.
He is in France.

- It seems to me that I would like him. Sir Edward?
- No, Sir Edward's father.

- Ah, every living room must have a father.
- Does it have yours?

My own; We didn't have a living room. Although the great ambition
of my father, was to someday have a living room.

And in this living room, I would have a father,
and I would be a gentleman, while he was not.

- So, I left my father's farm.
- To become a master! And did you succeed?

Well, not exactly. But I tried
I really tried.

I joined the Royal National Guard,
I fought in the battles of the new King...

...I restored the Royals back to the throne.

- And you got nothing!
- A Royal nothing.

So, I decided to take
that it's mine, with...

Why did you bring me here?

- Why did you come?
- Well...

...I came perhaps, to take your hand...

...and then, to pull you close...

...and then of course...

But, madam, we are talking of fortunes,
for my inheritance. Not a word about love.

Why did you bring me here?

To be alone, in a strange city and home,
to desire companionship...

- Do you understand?
- Everything.

Except, of course, from his portrait
sir edward's father...

...who for some strange reason
coincidence has your eyes...

...your mouth, similar nose,
and she's wearing your...mother's pin?

You are very smart sir.
The pin was my father's.

- And the portrait?
- Also my father, Lord Owenton.

He was hanged by his order
duke of Brampton, for treason.

- And... Mrs. Knight?
- There is no Mrs. Knight. I am his daughter, Mary.

So, that's why I'm here. You thought you found it
to me an enemy of Brampton.

I thought I found a friend.
I need a friend.

Such a friendship, can
to prove profitable.

Step aside, old man!
Back off, get out of the way!

Madam, I hope you will excuse me
this invasion of mine.

- I tried...
- It's okay, Simon.

But if I kept up the pretense...

The fault is mine, Your Highness,
I don't know your visiting hours.

Happy to let you know another day.
But first, the captain. Are you Captain Dermot?

Shortly after you left, a policeman came to the casino
of Mrs. Bennet, with a warrant for your arrest.

Being curious, I looked up the charges...

...and to my great surprise, I found it
that your loyalty to the Crown is doubtful.

It seems that ten days ago,
persons of blameless character...

...they heard someone who looks like you, swearing
the King and the Crown, and to utter threats.

- Treason punishable by hanging.
- Betrayal?

Yes, awful charge.
But luckily, you're in luck.

Of course, ten days ago, we were in the woods near the
London, and we were discussing quite personal matters.

Of course, Your Excellency.

If my memory serves me right, a leather book,
changed hands from me to you, that if I had...

- Could he prove my innocence?
- My congratulations, Captain.

It may take time.

Captain Herrick and my carriage are at your service.
I'll wait here until you come back.

I hope to repay your kindness
in the future, Your Excellency.

I'm sure you will
all the best, captain dermott.

I wish my visit had
hold on longer, Mrs. Knight.

It is late, Your Highness. I can offer you
something to eat while you wait for captain dermot?

Thank you, madam. Very kind thought.
Have you been to London lately, Mrs. Knight?

From France;

And that house you have for the season,
i think it's by some sir edward scott?

- On behalf of London, I welcome you.
- Thanks.

However, I must warn you that the city
it is full of crooks, old men and traitors.

I would suggest that you choose
more carefully your friends.

A pothole in the road, Captain.

- Still!
- I'll take it myself. You gentlemen, open the door.

- Jump!
- Shall we jump? / - Yes!

Madam, while you are in London, what can I do?
to do for you? What would please you?

What would please me? Nothing different
than every young woman. / No;

To present myself at the Court,
to His Majesty King Charles.

A presentation?

- Your Excellency! / - Yes?
- Captain Dermot has escaped! With your carriage!

Did he escape?
With your permission, madam.

- You idiot!
- Yes, Your Excellency.

- Okay, bring those branches.
- Good good! / - Quick Jack! / - Okay!

- I say burn her, Michael.
- We won't burn her. This carriage will fetch a good price.

Or a good noose around our necks.

Adam Yurick!

- Sit down.
- Yes! Yes, Your Excellency!

- He's not the best. / - No, my lord!
- He is an officer of the King's guard...

- ...he is here to ask you questions and you will answer him.
- Yes, my lord!

- Profession;
- Jewelry dealer.

- And;
- Pawnbroker.

- Adam Yurick, have you ever received stolen property?
- Never!

- Never;
- That is, to my knowledge, Your Excellency.

- And obviously, you've never seen before
these jewels. / - No.

You've never heard either
for someone michael dermott?

- You have;
- No.

- Tell me, Yurik, do you have a family?
- Yes, Your Highness, three good girls.

And four boys in the sea,
a woman in london...

...and a second wife in York.

I told you these details to show you,
how foolish of you to lie to me! Get out!

It was the twenty-eighth!

Your Highness, one who steals so much skill,
as Dermot has done in the past...

- "Henry Winds!"
- ...it is a given that he has accomplices.

Sit down.

You've seen these before, huh, Winds?

I didn't get them, Your Highness! I swear, I didn't get them!
And if I knew, Your Excellency, believe me! Your Excellency...

- I'm not complaining, Michael, I'm not complaining at all.
- But;

But! But yesterday we had the book
and jewelry.

And today, Brampton has the jewels, Michael
he has a charge of treason hanging over his head...

- ...and not a shilling for us. Wrong job, if you ask me.
- No one is asking you.

No, and no one took my license
to gamble my share of the jewels...

...only, because some woman, who like
looks like he had a nice face, he comes and...

- Very generous of you, Sheldon.
- Generous?

Take my word for it, he had a nice face.
After all, you didn't see her!

I don't believe all is lost.
I think we still have something.

- Marquis Hawthorne, do you remember Hawthorne?
- No.

He was hanged for treason a few months ago.

- Lord Owenton.
- He was hanged three weeks ago.

And apparently, others will follow.
Maskery, Chudley, Wildren...

Yeah, it looks like a book of death, doesn't it?

I wonder what they are willing to pay
people, to find out if their names are here.

- I wonder! / - Half a minute, how many are there?
- Without the dead, ten.

- Ten men, ten deals.
- No, no, no, it will take a long time.

Ten men, one deal.
The lady with the pretty face.

- Does he know these people?
- He knew Lord Oventon.

And how do you know we can?
should we trust her?

I do not know. This is a risk we will take.

But with it comes the opportunity to earn more
gold, than in all the streets of England.

We've been lucky so far,
but luck doesn't last forever.

One fine day, we will forget a detail, a weapon
will be blamed, someone trusted will betray us...

Looks like it already happened.

- Sheldon, Skene! / - What;
- Delay them. / - How?

With your mind, it might work. Come on, Jack!

Come!

- Where's Dermot? / - E? / - Dermot!
- Isn't it down? / - No.

- Maybe further down the road. Did you look at the cheese shop?
- Or at the tobacconist. / - Seven.

In the cheese shop and the tobacco shop.

Over there!

Michael! Michael!

Come on, Luke!

Father!

- You are Quakers. / - Yes.
- My friend was injured.

We don't care why he got hurt,
nor do we want pistols to cure him.

- Sorry sir.
- Your friend needs care.

- Prepare the small room for him
- Immediately, my man.

Chariti, bring water and clean
white cloths for bandages.

Yes, father.

I...I made your shirt.

Where the heck...?

What...;

Where is my friend;

Your friend left last night and left you here.
You were injured.

- Left; But for where?
- For London.

He said not to worry.
He will be back this morning.

Nice!

The shirt, please.

Would you...could you help me with the shirt?
I won't be able to do it alone.

You could;

Ah nice!

Your friend will help you with the shirt.

- You recovered just fine, I see.
- So, Jack, what news?

- How is the wound? / - Fine...Fine!
- I'm sure you're fine.

What happened to Sheldon and Skene, are they safe?

Sheldon and Skene, you'll be glad to know
that they hit a guard officer...

...then, in the confusion that ensued
they managed to escape...

He continued!

...and we still haven't heard from them.

- As for you, bad news. You are dead.
- What;

At least three of Brampton,
they reported it to His Excellency...

...every one of them claimed to have killed you
in a different part of London.

Ah, great news!

- Oh, I have more! / - About us;
- For the lady with the pretty face.

- Oh, did you see her?
- Very recently. Actually, it's here.

- Did you bring her here?
- Hmm!

- You really took matters into your own hands.
- It was your idea to use it.

- What did you tell her?
- That you are hurt, and...

10 names, from 1,000 crowns for each name.
What did she say when you told her about the book?

- I didn't tell her about the book.
- You didn't tell her? Then why did he come?

But why did I tell her you were hurt?
Well, it was enough to bring her here.

- Okay, very nice, Jack. But, I what...?
- What's going on, Michael? I was wrong;

I was wrong;

No, you did right, Jack.

Correctly!

Jack, take care of the horses.

Thank you for coming.

- Your friend said you are hurt.
- A clumsy hit, not very heroic.

- You could have been killed!
- No, it was nothing.

You could have been killed,
and it would be my fault.

- Look, there's something...
- You have to hide...

...brampton men are everywhere.
There is no safe way to leave.

I will find a way.

- There is no way!
- There is something that must...

Oh, it should all be so simple!

I would just come to London,
I would reveal Brampton's treachery...

...and I would prove my father's innocence.

And what have I done?
I found no evidence...

...and almost killed me,
the only one who showed me kindness.

But, there may be no evidence,
Lady Mary, but there is evidence.

my father's name
Chudley, Wildren, Sir Audrey Muskerry...

They are all my father's friends,
I know them all.

What is this book?

A death list, with dates of executions,
written by Brampton's hand.

How did you find it;

We...It fell into our hands.

Do you know what this means;
Now, at least, we can save those lives.

Oh, Michael, how can I
can i ever thank you

Mary...

Mary, I said in OUR hands.
Mine and my friends'.

What are you trying to tell me?

We intend to take from each one
from these gentlemen, 1,000 crowns.

1,000 crowns!

But, yes...yes, of course. It is very cheap price,
about the dangers you've been through.

- They can give them. I have very little time.
- It is very important to...

- You will have your money.
- Mary, I...I...

Halt!

To find the flower, you follow the bee.

- Me, I followed the flower.
- Good morning.

One good morning is not enough, don't you think?

- Anyway, we don't have time for arguments.
- Me, I have no urgent plans.

- Oh, you see I have! Plans, and very little patience!
- What are your plans, Your Highness?

- Ignore the disturbance you caused me.
- Provided...?

Provided you pay me back
what belongs to me

What if I don't return it?

Then my plan is to teach you a lesson,
that you won't live to remember.

I think you will find me a willing student, Your Highness.

With three accomplices by your side,
and holding a gun, knife and rope, perhaps.

But, how about a nobler art?

The sword, the sword, the sword.
The sword, a weapon of gentlemen and not of thieves.

Long, deadly, light.
Its edge, deadlier than the edge of the sword.

The guard post! The rejection!

The projection! The book!

- I don't have it anymore, Your Highness.
- Then, Captain Dermot, your lesson. Sword duel.

But the lesson will be more effective,
Your Excellency, if you are both armed.

Of course! A special lesson, Captain Herrick.
A special lesson, to entertain a lady.

- Take care!
- Ah, rascal, captain, rascal! Take care!

Keep your head!

- Great! Great!
- You are presumptuous, Your Excellency.

Unfortunately, it lacks finesse, my lady.
For example...

The pretense! The deception! Disarmament!
The book! Where is;

He tires easily, my lady!
Pick up your gun!

Normally, I would end the lesson here.
But who knows if I will get such an opportunity again.

Crazy, Captain!
I expect more from my students.

Much more.

- What else do you have to show us?
- Your Excellency! Is this what you are looking for?

Just in time, ma'am! Maybe a little exhausting
for the captain, but...just in time!

It seems that not all of my men were exaggerating.
One at least, is promising for his sign.

- Captain Herrick! / - Yes, Your Highness!
- Call your men and take him out.

And...Dermot, one last word: A thief,
he should never bet with a gentleman.

You are shaking!

Ten names!
Ten names and a price for each, huh?

What did he offer you?
Enough to offset the risk of a hangover?

Captain Herrick, Mrs. Knight, offered
a great service to the Crown.

This should be taken seriously.
Escort her home.

And, captain, the guard around
from the house of Mrs.

Should I order it removed?

Move away? With Dermot's two accomplices
still single? Probably not! Double it!

- Yes, Your Highness!
- The lady must be protected.

Here, here.
A delicious bite.

- What is this;
- A church leader. / - What;

A church leader, a clergyman.

He prays under it
window of an afterlife.

He prays for forgiveness
and quick death.

He prays for sunshine, and great crowds of fairies
men and women come to hear him pray.

He earns his living.

When you are tried and sentenced to hang,
do you want me to hire you a church leader...?

- Get out! / - ...huh?
- Get out!

How can you sit there
day after day, and eat this filth?

- I'm disgusted to see you!
- I would prefer roast beef.

- Why don't you ask the lady with the pretty face?
She is good at arranging things.

Maybe he'll even bring you a bone,
from Brampton's table. / - Enough, Jack.

- How could I have been so stupid as to leave this treacherous...
- I said, enough. Let's forget about it.

You fool, you idiot!
How, please tell me, how is that possible?

Twelve armed guards, to leave
two unarmed card players to escape!

- You are not answering me, Captain Herrick.
- I have no answer, Your Excellency.

"I have no answer, Your Highness!"
You do not understand; They have seen the book!

Of all officers of the Royal National Guard,
how did i choose a stupid faflata like you?

Where are Dermot's two associates?

You had plenty of time to conquer an island,
don't look for it. Where is;

- I have their names.
- You have their names!

I'll tell you what to do, Captain. Take the military
behind you, get on your horse, gallop on all fours...

...directions at the same time, if necessary, and bring it to me
their wallets, not their names! Otherwise...

Wait, bring my carriage.

- Oh, well... well...
- Nothing gets into your head? My carriage!

He will be hanged, Simon.

Brampton will hang him, as he did
my father, and I can't do anything.

- If you saw him, injured and bleeding...
- My lady...

If something happens to me, where will you go, Simon?
I have to know.

Oh, don't worry about me.
I managed to put aside a modest capital.

After so many years of faithful service,
a modest capital, seems little reward.

If I expected a reward, I would have it.
Besides, I have my daughter, you know.

Married to a pharmacist, great
child, who keeps an apothecary near Newgate.

He has a lot of work, with the prison next door.

They will take care of me, my lady.
But more importantly, what will you become?

Pass your excellency in, Simon.
Go down and open it for him.

Very well.

His Highness the Duke of Brampton.

- My lady, I am lucky to find you.
- If I can help...

I'll get to the point. Michael Dermott has three friends.
One is in prison with him, while the other two...

- Did you catch them?
- Did I catch them? No, I have no idea what it is.

But, I find it inconceivable that these dogs should not have
a doghouse to burrow into at such times.

- You will find this doghouse, Mrs. Knight!
- Me? What can I do, I don't know them.

I think you know them.
In fact, I think you know a really great deal too.

When I first met you, I thought you were, let's say,
an unusual adventurer looking for...

...contacts, comfort and safety.
Looks like I misjudged you.

Your convenient arrival from France, the strange
your relationship with Dermot. And this house...

...the coincidence, to have for the season
Sir Edward Scott's house...

...a close friend of the notorious traitor Oventon...

...whose portrait,
did you bother to download.

There are many facts, my lady.
Indirectly of course, but what can one think?

However, because I find you beautiful, I decided
to let you win your innocence.

What will you have me do, Your Highness?

Tonight at 10 o'clock, my assistant, Captain Herrick,
will accompany you to Newgate Prison.

There you will go to Michael Dermott's cell,
and from him you will learn where his accomplices are.

Then Captain Herrick will escort you to my house,
where I shall await your information.

- How?
- Ah, the "how", I leave it to you.

What if I fail?

If you fail? A prison ship,
dawn sets sail for America.

Its cargo consists of scum
of all prisons in England.

Those who will survive the journey,
no carefree adventure awaits them, I assure you.

Despite a hard effort, unsuccessful so far,
to populate the colonies.

You will join this effort,
Mrs. Knight, if you fail. In the evening, then.

Beauty forgives many things, dear lady.
But, sometimes it is not enough. Sad, isn't it?

"Give him enlightenment to understand
himself and Your promise..."

"...how when he believes in your mercy..."

"...he will not give his faith
to none other than You."

"Relief the wretched, protect
the innocent, wake the guilty."

Get up, young man, you have a visitor.

- Michael!
- Come now, young man, is this how you greet a lady?

He's grumpy, ma'am.
He will not amuse the crowd when he is hanged.

Three minutes, ma'am.

- Oh, Michael, Michael, what have I done to you?
- What did you do;

Wait! No visitors allowed here.

- Mary, how did you get in?
- Brampton sent me.

- Brampton? Of course!
- It's about your two friends.

- Sheldon and Skene, where are they?
- I do not know. Neither does Brampton, so...

- Is that why you're here?
- That's why Brampton sent me, but I'm here because...

- Why...;
- Because escape is not impossible.

Escape...

It can be done. It's happened again.

Escape!

But, Mary, what will become of you?
When Brampton finds out you betrayed him...

Soon, I will leave for France.
There is my home, my friends.

You would love my house. It's a big one
mansion in Normandy, with stone and ivy.

And it's a living room, and it has a fireplace
space above for a portrait.

This is worth getting away from.

- Mary, if we escape...
- Old Simon, my servant, will tell you where I am.

- But, where can he find you?
- There is a place...

- Yes...
- ...not a very nice place, where we meet.

Michael! Be careful!

Michael, you have to trust me, you have to!

"The Mark of the Angel's Wing",
on Dunsmuir Street.

"The Mark of the Angel's Wing"...

Three minutes, ma'am.

Was your mission successful, Mrs. Knight?

- My information, it is only
for your excellency, captain. / - Of course!

- What is;
- Oh, my heart! My heart!

Stop the carriage!

- Is anything wrong, sir?
- Bring help, Captain! A doctor! A doctor!

- I know a doctor, but not in this neighborhood.
- A pharmacy, then, there is no pharmacy?

- There is one, captain, here it is, sir.
- Come on, call the pharmacist!

CHEMICAL
PHARMACIST

Hey, you! Open it!

- They don't answer, sir.
- Break and enter, you idiot!

Hey, you, hey!

Hey!

- Is anybody here;
- What is happening here; What is all this?

- Stop, we have a sick woman! Her heart!
- Poor thing! George!

Take her to the bedroom, woman!

- Please, sir, I have to take off her bra.
- Oh yes! Yes, yes, of course!

- I will...I will make a medicine to relieve her.
- Wait outside, in the carriage.

Father you better shut me up
otherwise they will wonder why I didn't shout.

- Okay, my daughter.
- I will do it.

My lady, through the back door.

Halt!

Very clever, Mrs. Knight.

Your Excellency will enjoy the detailed
report of this adventure.

I highly doubt it, Captain Herrick!

How;

- In the center. But watch the nose,
doesn't really want to break. / - Okay!

- Nice! Give me the knife.
- And what are we doing now;

I do not know.
Watch the door.

Good, now we can pass.
Wait! Take these off.

- You might break your wrist!
- It's worth a try, anyway. Come!

- Now what are we doing;
- We're climbing.

How much longer, Sandy?

Wait!
Stay there while I look around.

Kick it, Sandy!

- Come on, Sandy, I'll play you for two pennies, Sandy!
- I spit on your mercy!

- I will break your heads!
- He will break our heads!

- Whose are these?
- Sandy's twopence.

All right, Jack, I'll pull you out.

- Ok, I can do it now.
- Nice.

It's a bell tower.

- We have to go back! We can't go down there!
- Up, then!

Come on, Jack!

You stay here, hidden.
I'm going to look around.

- There is a roof below.
- Can we go down?

- Anyway, I'm not going to jump!
- How about the rope?

- Nice.
- Be careful!

Okay, calm down!

- Can you solve it? / - Yes!
- Quick, it's heavy!

- I'll tie one end to the ladder.
- No, we want the rope...

...to get from the roof to the ground.

- Here, help me with this.
- Good, step on the rope.

Late!

Watch the rope!

Nice!

All right, Jack, throw down the rope.

Tie the rope.

THE SIGN OF THE WING
ANGEL'S

Silence, please! Ten shillings left,
for anyone who can last three minutes with Jacob Hall...

...guardian of the Royal jewels
of the Crown, in the Tower of London.

Me, I will face him!

This Jacob Hall, he frightens them with his size,
and no one sees his weakness.

You see her, of course!

- The guy will never recover after the first punch.
- If it's so easy, why don't you face him?

If I'm to fight someone this size,
it will be for more than ten shillings.

Okay. Do it for...do it for the
crown jewels.

- Just a minute! They are watching us.
- Where;

It is Simon, her servant.

where is your lady

At my house, Captain. He is very much looking forward to seeing you.
Please follow me.

This is my house, sir.
It's not very elegant, but...

Simon, did you hear...

- Michael!
- Mary! / - Michael!

Oh, I thought I'd lost you, that I'd never see you again.

Ah, Captain Herrick...
This is a much more comfortable encounter.

He's ready to talk, Michael.
to tell everything he knows.

If you don't send me back to Brampton!

- You don't know what it will do to me. He will hang me.
- What exactly do you know, Captain Herrick? Well;

- I have to...I have to have guarantees.
- You have the guarantee that I will send you back, unless...

- No! No!
- Okay then, say it!

You have seen the book, the names.
They are the richest in England...

- He continued!
- ...but, more than rich, they are faithful.

All devoted to the Crown, all determined
to give their lives for England.

As it seems to be happening.

He kills them one by one. Then, he confiscates
their riches, in the name of the King...

...and more than half,
they go in his pocket.

And their armies, too. First he breaks them up,
and then puts the best units in his army.

- Until the King is left alone.
- Until the King is not left at all...

...but be with others, despised
condemned and hanged...

...by order of James, Duke of Brampton,
Lord Protector of England.

- Michael, now we can go to the King.
- If only there was a way! / - There must be a way!

I'd like to go, I swear. But a hearing
with His Majesty, arranged only by Brampton.

It would be easier to understand his Tower
London and steal the Crown Jewels...

...from getting an audience with His Majesty.

Let's audition for... What did you say?

I said, sir, that would be easier
to understand the Tower of London...

And steal the Crown Jewels?

"To steal the Crown Jewels!"

All right, Sheldon, we're ready for the horses.
Jack, give him a hand.

"You think you can do it that way
reach the King?"

Skene, are you checking the wheels?

"We are not well, because we do not steal
and the Queen herself?"

“The King would do more to find
the jewels, from finding the Queen."

Now, repeat once more.

- You are Brampton's trusted cousin...
- The other trusted cousin.

...in which, at the request of His Excellency,
a private display of the jewelry will be allowed.

Of the crown jewels!

Whereas, your alleged wife,
has a great interest in astronomy.

- He wishes to study the observatory.
- Let's not get into that.

Getting in is no problem, Jack.
Going out, it is. Here we are!

- Relatives of His Highness the Duke of Brampton.
- Very well, Captain Herrick. Come in!

You will see many crowns of unfathomable splendor,
in the jewelry room.

- My lord, your sword!
- My sword?

- No weapons allowed in the hall
of jewelry. / - Of course!

What if it wasn't for the vandalism that happened
by Cromwell fanatics...

...we would still have in this collection,
the original crown...

...worn by Alfred the Great,
when he became the first King of united England.

It is easy to understand how the emotional
value of the jewelry far exceeds the commercial value.

- Yes, but they have commercial value.
- "The Royal Ransom."

They are cousins of the Duke of Brampton.
From here, my lady.

Please look to the left
the royal sceptres.

These sceptres, came to this one
the rare collection, the year, uh...

Wow. As a person ages...

With your permission, Sir Gilbert...

...my wife considers herself,
an astronomer of some talent.

I would be very grateful if,
as much as my husband admires jewelry...

...maybe I could see
the royal observatory?

- Five minutes;
- Well, I mean...

I am sure, that when we return, we will
they ask for answers to thousands of questions.

- Very well, then! My lord!
- Sir Gilbert!

A member of parliament, Isaac Newton,
very intelligent man...

...built recently,
a revolutionary telescope.

- Good day, Sir Gilbert.
- Good morning sir.

My lady, allow me to introduce you
Sir Isaac Newton, Astronomer Royal.

- Mr. Newton.
- Your servant, my lady.

I mentioned to the lady, a little about her
nature of your work, Mr. Newton.

Interested in astronomy, telescopes?

- Very much.
- So does His Majesty. Especially telescopes.

Yes, this one. This is his favorite.
He hasn't quite figured it out yet, but...

- Is the King coming here?
- Yes, almost every day.

Yes, His Majesty must
come now, will you Sir Gilbert?

Probably, probably.

- I won't delay you any longer.
- But, I didn't start the presentation.

- Excuse me, good morning.
- But, my lady!

- Mary, we got them!
- Too late, Michael, the King is here!

There is no way to...

"And the funny thing is, that the Queen
got mad for no reason."

- The girl behaved in the terms of chivalry.
- She is young, Your Majesty, she will change as she grows.

Where is Jacob Hall?
What does all this mean?

Stop them!

- Well, Dermot...
- What is happening here;

The man is Michael Dermott, Your Majesty.
Notorious highwayman, fugitive from Newgate...

...where he was held for crimes,
enough to hang an entire army.

The woman is his accomplice.
And if I'm not mistaken...

You aim high, Captain!
With your permission! Take them!

Your Majesty!

- Silence!
- Let the King command silence.

- Wait!
- Your Majesty...

Wait a minute, Brampton, the audacity
this guy amuses me.

Get up!

Please tell me how you calculated
profit from the loot?

I would keep the jewelry
as a ransom, Your Majesty.

- And the price?
- An audition with you, Your Majesty.

And what favor do you want?

Permission, Your Majesty, to uncover
a thief, murderer and traitor!

- Someone I know?
- Your most trusted advisor!

- Brampton, your popularity continues to decline.
- Between the thieves and the mob, maybe!

- Take them!
- Your Majesty!

Please listen to him.

- Tell me, madam, why did you want the audition?
- For Lord Oventon.

- A traitor!
- You call him that!

- And you, what do you call him?
- He was my father, but more than that he was your friend.

All these years, he fought, sacrificing everything,
to see you back on the throne, to...to die.

- He was tried!
- He was hanged on the testimony of a single man.

We have no reason to doubt
the testimony of the Most High.

Even if one day you learn, Your Majesty,
that can be used against you?

- What do you mean?
- Revolution!

It destroys one by one,
the props of your Kingdom...

...Marquis Hawthorne, then Oventon, and will
followed by Muskerry, Chudley and Wildren.

Do you have any proof of that?

First, the testimony of his assistant,
of a certain Captain Herrick.

Who would admit anything
with a knife to his throat.

And then, his written confession,
written by the very hand of the Most High.

He's lying, sir!
You're lying, admit it!

So, will you admit it, Captain Dermot?

If I had a sword in my hand,
Your Majesty, you would have a confession!

Confessions amuse me.
Guard, a sword to the captain!

With your permission, Captain,
we will ignore the formalities.

The lesson, remember?

- His Majesty awaits a confession, Your Highness!
- He will have one!

Your Majesty is still waiting, Your Highness!

Ask mercy from me, not from the King.
The book!

- I'm not afraid to die!
- The choice is yours, Your Highness!

I should have known. A gentleman,
he should never bet with a thief.

The confession, Your Majesty!

Michael Dermott, what shall I do with you?
It is not enough that you are a common thief...

...you trouble my best horsemen,
you hurt my good Jacob Hall...

...you put the best ones to shame
my jailers...

...you attacked my subjects
on public roads...

...you damaged the most valuable ones
my jewels...

...and you ordered the hanging of the favored one
my companion, the blessed Duke of Brampton.

£600 a year, not a penny more,
for you and for each of your accomplices.

If, gentlemen, allow the government to return
my affairs, in their normal functions.

- Your Majesty!
- But, Captain...

Your Majesty;

- May I suggest a situation?
- A situation, Your Majesty?

That from this moment on,
you swear on your honor...

...don't steal for anyone else,
except for me!

For you, sir, and no one else.
