Tower of London Page #2

Synopsis: On the death of his brother King Edward IV, Richard of Gloucester conspires to get the throne for himself. The late King had two young sons, his heir, Edward V and the younger Prince Richard, but they are not of age and so names his other brother, Clarence as Lord Protector of the Realm. Gloucester soon kills his younger brother but is haunted by his ghost and what he has done. As he continues to kill those around him, Gloucester is haunted by those he has betrayed hearing voices and slowly descending into madness. He spreads rumors that the late King's two sons are illegitimate and therefore not eligible to ascend to the throne. He assassinates the young princes and is crowned King Richard III. The ghosts from his past have the final say however.

His body is already in the crypt!

His ghost, then, Anne!

My brother's ghost

was on the balcony!

He tried to kill me.

Is that what you want to believe?

Don't taunt me, Anne.

Don't taunt me. Not you!

A stone fell from the battlement.

It almost killed me!

Can you really believe

that a ghost could hurt you?

- It was an accident.

- No!

Clarence said

that I would die violently,

by the hands of a dead man!

A king makes his own destiny.

And you shall be king!

Yes...

I will be king.

You will be queen.

Go, then.

Pay your respects to Edward.

My oldest son is no more.

My boy...

He fulfilled his promise,

and he died.

The dreams of Clarence

died with him.

For him, nothing was fulfilled.

Oh, yes, there was.

He knew your love, Mother.

Because he was capable

of loving in return.

And you think I am not?

You think my affection

is as warped as my back?

Do not keep Edward waiting.

Good-bye, my brother.

I envy you your peace.

Blood?

Blood on his forehead!

See, there?

I see nothing.

What did appear, Richard?

Blood from your kiss?

The mark of Cain?

Blood? What blood?

If there is no blood,

then I do not see it.

Either a shadow, perhaps.

One brother dies...

One is murdered.

How did Clarence die?

As Cain slew Abel?

I brought this curse

upon our House

when my womb conceived you.

Better I should have died

at my labor

and never unleashed your evil

upon this earth.

You talk of evil?

You, who gave me deformity

in a twisted spine

and a withered arm?

Who possesses the greater evil,

my mother?

You, who made me this way,

or I, who have to bear it?

You seek a word of understanding,

Richard?

The word, perhaps, is true.

Clarence, let me be!

You will find that truth...

At Bosworth.

Bosworth?

What is it, Clarence?

The name Bosworth

means nothing to me.

Richard!

Anne?

Anne!

He stood there,

the wine still dripping from him.

See, there, on the floor!

Your wine.

MY wine?

Richard, these nightmares

are not real.

Nightmares?

I tell you, he was here!

He spoke to me of the truth.

I would know.

Bosworth.

You were not seen?

I do not think so, Your Majesty.

These accusations

against me, Tyrus,

do you believe them?

No, Your Majesty.

A Woodville dagger

is easily obtained.

And Richard will do anything

to come to power.

Perhaps... murder a brother?

A brother's blood for the crown?

A fair trade to a warped mind.

Ambition in Richard is an ocean

which cannot be held back.

Then you are with us, Tyrus?

I am, milord.

But I fear that Richard is but

at the beginning of his plans.

Then you see how important it is

that we all stay together.

My few remaining friends,

I thank you.

Now guard yourselves carefully,
