WEBVTT

00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:03.260 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:06.630 align:center
Merlin Emrys

00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:09.476 align:center
has returned to the land of the living.

00:00:09.476 --> 00:00:11.550 align:center
I had a vision.

00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:14.700 align:center
Two dragons came forth to the battle one another.

00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:17.400 align:center
The dragons you have seen are your enemies.

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:19.620 align:center
White for the Saecsen horde,

00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:21.930 align:center
red for the true sons of Britain

00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:24.939 align:center
whose father you murdered for your crown.

00:00:24.939 --> 00:00:26.098 align:center
(soldiers shouting)

00:00:26.098 --> 00:00:27.098 align:center
Vortigern!

00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:31.770 align:center
Thus ends the reign of Vortigern,

00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:33.390 align:center
High King of Britain.

00:00:33.390 --> 00:00:36.788 align:center
Take heart, you people of the Island of the Mighty.

00:00:36.788 --> 00:00:37.621 align:center
Dafyd?

00:00:39.277 --> 00:00:40.140 align:center
Myrddin.

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.363 align:center
To see you after all these years.

00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:47.023 align:center
But you have not altered a bit.

00:00:47.023 --> 00:00:48.300 align:center
I had this sword crafted

00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:50.880 align:center
for my father by the High King's own smith.

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.150 align:center
Perhaps it's best to leave it here.

00:00:54.150 --> 00:00:56.820 align:center
You are the flower of your race.

00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:59.340 align:center
'Tis a great thing to be a king, Hawk

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:02.760 align:center
but there is authority of a kind even kings must bend to.

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:04.530 align:center
I've known Merlin a very long time.

00:01:04.530 --> 00:01:06.750 align:center
I would have you my counselor.

00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:08.670 align:center
Very well, Aurelius.

00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:11.120 align:center
Perhaps you have the makings of a king after all.

00:01:12.676 --> 00:01:14.403 align:center
Dafyd, you've come home.

00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:18.653 align:center
Hello, Mother.

00:01:20.681 --> 00:01:22.434 align:center
Myrddin.

00:01:22.434 --> 00:01:23.790 align:center
(tense music)

00:01:23.790 --> 00:01:24.960 align:center
Never seen so many.

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:26.640 align:center
There will be no victory

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.460 align:center
without the kings of Britain by our side.

00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:31.852 align:center
I need every single one of them to defeat Hengist.

00:01:31.852 --> 00:01:34.435 align:center
(ominous tone)

00:01:35.933 --> 00:01:39.100 align:center
(relaxed piano music)

00:01:48.577 --> 00:01:53.577 align:center
(birds cawing)
(waves crashing)

00:01:55.582 --> 00:02:00.582 align:center
(dramatic drumbeat)
(Saecsens shouting)

00:02:02.071 --> 00:02:07.071 align:center
(fists thudding)
(boots thudding)

00:02:15.887 --> 00:02:18.637 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:02:26.493 --> 00:02:30.160 align:center
(Hengist speaks in Saecsen)

00:02:33.682 --> 00:02:35.392 align:center
(neck snaps)

00:02:35.392 --> 00:02:37.507 align:center
(warriors cheering)

00:02:37.507 --> 00:02:40.007 align:center
(Ulfin roars)

00:02:42.634 --> 00:02:44.634 align:center
Well done.

00:02:47.265 --> 00:02:50.848 align:center
(Aldwyn speaks in Saecsen)

00:02:54.066 --> 00:02:54.899 align:center
Fool.

00:02:56.123 --> 00:02:58.500 align:center
Are you so heavy with drink that you fail

00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:01.557 align:center
to recognize the spawn of Vortigern?

00:03:10.548 --> 00:03:14.931 align:center
Prince Pascent, forgive Aldwyn's impertinence.

00:03:14.931 --> 00:03:17.160 align:center
(fire crackles)

00:03:17.160 --> 00:03:18.213 align:center
He will be punished.

00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:22.500 align:center
What word from your father?

00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:24.693 align:center
My father is dead.

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.230 align:center
What do you want?

00:03:32.600 --> 00:03:34.500 align:center
My father is dead and I am his heir,

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.250 align:center
High King of the Britons.

00:03:39.009 --> 00:03:42.330 align:center
(crickets chirping)

00:03:42.330 --> 00:03:45.783 align:center
And yet you ride here unannounced.

00:03:47.100 --> 00:03:48.123 align:center
No honor guard,

00:03:49.260 --> 00:03:50.093 align:center
no warband.

00:03:51.150 --> 00:03:52.740 align:center
I did not know I needed a warband

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:55.170 align:center
at my back to meet with an ally.

00:03:55.170 --> 00:03:57.416 align:center
You do if you're going to watch him shit.

00:03:57.416 --> 00:04:00.570 align:center
(Saecsens laughing)

00:04:00.570 --> 00:04:02.870 align:center
The sons of Constans have murdered my father

00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:05.943 align:center
and now they claim his crown.

00:04:08.619 --> 00:04:11.243 align:center
And you want me to help you take it back?

00:04:11.243 --> 00:04:13.140 align:center
(dramatic violin music)

00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:14.190 align:center
They will not be content

00:04:14.190 --> 00:04:17.879 align:center
until they have all of Britain in their grasp.

00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:19.620 align:center
All of Britain?

00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:24.620 align:center
Even now, they turn their eyes east to the Saecsen Coast.

00:04:33.210 --> 00:04:37.050 align:center
Let us march against these usurpers

00:04:37.050 --> 00:04:38.703 align:center
before they march against you.

00:04:42.570 --> 00:04:43.683 align:center
Why do I need you?

00:04:47.730 --> 00:04:49.533 align:center
You swore to uphold my family's claim

00:04:49.533 --> 00:04:51.753 align:center
when my father let you settle these lands.

00:04:54.324 --> 00:04:55.157 align:center
Let?

00:04:57.261 --> 00:04:59.844 align:center
Our pact was sealed in blood.

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:02.650 align:center
You will be held to it.

00:05:03.532 --> 00:05:07.482 align:center
(tense music)
(knife scrapes)

00:05:07.482 --> 00:05:10.565 align:center
(tense rising tones)

00:05:17.872 --> 00:05:21.360 align:center
The son of Vortigern is right.

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.457 align:center
A pact sealed in blood is to be honored

00:05:26.999 --> 00:05:27.916 align:center
unto death.

00:05:29.644 --> 00:05:32.311 align:center
(anxious music)

00:05:35.728 --> 00:05:38.247 align:center
(boot thuds)
(Pascent grunts)

00:05:38.247 --> 00:05:43.247 align:center
(Saecsens laughing)
(Pascent screams)

00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.531 align:center
(Aldwyn speaks in Saecsen)

00:05:52.531 --> 00:05:56.198 align:center
(Hengist speaks in Saecsen)

00:06:00.709 --> 00:06:03.209 align:center
(horn blares)

00:06:06.308 --> 00:06:09.058 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:06:18.252 --> 00:06:21.835 align:center
(dramatic music continues)

00:06:31.116 --> 00:06:34.699 align:center
(dramatic music continues)

00:06:43.212 --> 00:06:46.795 align:center
(dramatic music continues)

00:06:55.173 --> 00:06:58.756 align:center
(dramatic music continues)

00:07:08.105 --> 00:07:11.688 align:center
(dramatic music continues)

00:07:20.113 --> 00:07:25.113 align:center
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic chanting)

00:07:33.907 --> 00:07:37.740 align:center
(dramatic chanting continues)

00:07:46.043 --> 00:07:51.043 align:center
(relaxed flute music)
(birds chirping)

00:07:54.743 --> 00:07:58.020 align:center
(spear splashes)

00:07:58.020 --> 00:07:59.670 align:center
Hail the Fisher King.

00:08:03.488 --> 00:08:04.321 align:center
Merlin.

00:08:07.911 --> 00:08:10.670 align:center
Merlin!

00:08:10.670 --> 00:08:13.268 align:center
(Avallach splashes)

00:08:13.268 --> 00:08:15.608 align:center
(Avallach laughs)

00:08:15.608 --> 00:08:18.775 align:center
(inspirational music)

00:08:21.203 --> 00:08:23.870 align:center
(water sloshes)

00:08:33.173 --> 00:08:36.340 align:center
(inspirational music)

00:08:43.197 --> 00:08:44.547 align:center
And that's when I saw him

00:08:45.990 --> 00:08:49.773 align:center
sat on a rock by the riverbed alone,

00:08:51.300 --> 00:08:52.983 align:center
shining as bright as the dawn.

00:08:55.590 --> 00:08:58.320 align:center
And we are most grateful to you, Pelleas.

00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.600 align:center
Even as our hopes waned,

00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.493 align:center
you did not give up these many years.

00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:06.679 align:center
My lady.

00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.060 align:center
(Avallach chuckles)

00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:10.563 align:center
And you, my holy friend.

00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:12.840 align:center
How did you come to be

00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.110 align:center
in my grandson's company after all this time?

00:09:16.110 --> 00:09:17.793 align:center
Providence, great king.

00:09:19.140 --> 00:09:20.043 align:center
The divine hand.

00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.263 align:center
Myrddin found me prisoner of High King Vortigern.

00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:26.993 align:center
Prisoner?

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:31.620 align:center
A king who holds hostage

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:35.100 align:center
a servant of the Most High gambles with his life.

00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:37.263 align:center
A gamble Vortigern lost.

00:09:39.450 --> 00:09:41.313 align:center
King Avallach, I have been remiss.

00:09:42.210 --> 00:09:44.070 align:center
May I present to you Uther,

00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:47.973 align:center
second son of Constans and his older brother, Aurelius.

00:09:48.810 --> 00:09:50.910 align:center
The sons of Constans.

00:09:50.910 --> 00:09:52.290 align:center
I see.

00:09:52.290 --> 00:09:54.000 align:center
Forgive me, my brother and I

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.700 align:center
were loath to interrupt your happy reunion.

00:09:56.700 --> 00:09:59.780 align:center
Aurelius has defeated the usurper, Vortigern.

00:09:59.780 --> 00:10:03.390 align:center
He is by right of lineage and victory

00:10:03.390 --> 00:10:05.898 align:center
High King of Ynys Prydein.

00:10:05.898 --> 00:10:08.783 align:center
If I do not fall to the axe of a Saecsen first.

00:10:08.783 --> 00:10:10.533 align:center
Or the ambitions of a petty king.

00:10:13.099 --> 00:10:15.834 align:center
(drink trickles)

00:10:15.834 --> 00:10:20.417 align:center
My brother surely meant no disrespect, King Avallach.

00:10:22.290 --> 00:10:23.823 align:center
And yet he speaks truly.

00:10:25.530 --> 00:10:28.740 align:center
This land is in a welter of confusion.

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:31.410 align:center
There are more kings than sheep,

00:10:31.410 --> 00:10:34.953 align:center
more princes than crows on a battlefield,

00:10:36.690 --> 00:10:39.000 align:center
all seeking to snatch what they can

00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.830 align:center
when they can without a care for who suffers.

00:10:43.830 --> 00:10:47.970 align:center
Until this island is ruled by one

00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:52.770 align:center
who wields both justice and mercy, there will be no peace.

00:10:52.770 --> 00:10:55.080 align:center
Aurelius' life is in danger

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.430 align:center
until the kings of Britain recognize his claim.

00:10:59.310 --> 00:11:03.300 align:center
It is my hope he could find sanctuary here

00:11:03.300 --> 00:11:05.640 align:center
while I ride to rally what friends we have left.

00:11:05.640 --> 00:11:08.589 align:center
While we ride to rally your friends.

00:11:08.589 --> 00:11:09.422 align:center
Uther.

00:11:09.422 --> 00:11:12.550 align:center
To ensure Merlin is not remiss

00:11:13.560 --> 00:11:15.310 align:center
pushing your claim in other courts.

00:11:17.130 --> 00:11:17.963 align:center
Right, Merlin?

00:11:18.930 --> 00:11:20.640 align:center
Very well, Uther.

00:11:20.640 --> 00:11:22.140 align:center
If you prefer nights in the saddle

00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:24.153 align:center
to the comfort of Avallach's palace.

00:11:25.230 --> 00:11:26.830 align:center
You will not be staying, then?

00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:31.320 align:center
I'm sorry, Mother.

00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.083 align:center
My people have seen enough of war and death.

00:11:36.570 --> 00:11:40.023 align:center
The High King of Britain will be safe within these walls.

00:11:42.330 --> 00:11:44.883 align:center
To a future of peace.

00:11:46.079 --> 00:11:48.996 align:center
(glasses clinking)

00:11:51.589 --> 00:11:55.506 align:center
(relaxed ensemble flute music)

00:12:04.181 --> 00:12:08.931 align:center
(relaxed ensemble flute music continues)

00:12:16.292 --> 00:12:19.959 align:center
[Whispering Voice] Yes, it is me, darling.

00:12:20.907 --> 00:12:24.324 align:center
Remember what they did to me by the fire?

00:12:33.027 --> 00:12:34.900 align:center
You fuss over me like a child

00:12:36.510 --> 00:12:38.160 align:center
while other men call me Immortal.

00:12:48.439 --> 00:12:51.022 align:center
(chest creaks)

00:12:55.680 --> 00:12:58.347 align:center
(fire crackles)

00:13:01.094 --> 00:13:03.094 align:center
The Fisher King's sword.

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:04.793 align:center
Your sword.

00:13:06.401 --> 00:13:10.350 align:center
(low mysterious music)

00:13:10.350 --> 00:13:11.403 align:center
I thought it lost.

00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:18.333 align:center
Yet it has been here, waiting for you.

00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:22.473 align:center
The sword of a High King.

00:13:24.990 --> 00:13:28.980 align:center
Aurelius has a sword, the sword of Britain.

00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:30.663 align:center
I do not offer it to Aurelius.

00:13:39.659 --> 00:13:42.492 align:center
(low tense music)

00:13:45.929 --> 00:13:48.596 align:center
[Whispering Voice] Take me up.

00:13:51.196 --> 00:13:52.723 align:center
(Myrddin screams)

00:13:52.723 --> 00:13:55.473 align:center
(ominous chants)

00:14:00.366 --> 00:14:01.699 align:center
What?

00:14:03.453 --> 00:14:06.513 align:center
I'm sorry, Mother, but I cannot accept it.

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.423 align:center
Whatever the future may hold,

00:14:09.423 --> 00:14:11.123 align:center
I cannot take up that sword again.

00:14:12.032 --> 00:14:15.449 align:center
(relaxed ensemble music)

00:14:24.300 --> 00:14:27.200 align:center
Then I will pray you have the strength to keep your vow.

00:14:34.710 --> 00:14:36.873 align:center
I wish you were not leaving so soon.

00:14:38.910 --> 00:14:41.280 align:center
Besides, the fish are always

00:14:41.280 --> 00:14:45.393 align:center
on their best behavior when you are here. (chuckles)

00:14:47.370 --> 00:14:49.247 align:center
What was it like, Merlin?

00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:51.870 align:center
To be insane?

00:14:51.870 --> 00:14:53.823 align:center
To be alone with God.

00:14:56.130 --> 00:14:58.180 align:center
Is that who you think I was alone with?

00:14:59.520 --> 00:15:00.437 align:center
Who else?

00:15:02.203 --> 00:15:05.430 align:center
I would dearly love to spend but a moment

00:15:05.430 --> 00:15:07.170 align:center
in my Lord's presence.

00:15:07.170 --> 00:15:10.175 align:center
You are fortunate among men, Merlin.

00:15:10.175 --> 00:15:12.016 align:center
(horse neighs)

00:15:12.016 --> 00:15:14.040 align:center
(townsfolk chattering)

00:15:14.040 --> 00:15:17.013 align:center
Go, I have been greedy with your time.

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.053 align:center
We will discuss these things again when you return.

00:15:24.510 --> 00:15:26.360 align:center
You fear for your sins, Grandfather

00:15:28.110 --> 00:15:30.960 align:center
but surely your sins are no greater than any other man's.

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:36.090 align:center
I had forgotten how much you see

00:15:36.090 --> 00:15:38.193 align:center
with those golden eyes, Hawk.

00:15:41.970 --> 00:15:45.880 align:center
Yet in truth, my sins are too numerous to count

00:15:48.900 --> 00:15:50.650 align:center
and they gave life to Morgian.

00:15:51.706 --> 00:15:54.706 align:center
(low ominous music)

00:16:00.783 --> 00:16:01.923 align:center
I've seen her,

00:16:04.110 --> 00:16:04.943 align:center
Morgian,

00:16:07.561 --> 00:16:09.287 align:center
in the fire

00:16:09.287 --> 00:16:10.833 align:center
and in the stars.

00:16:14.343 --> 00:16:16.110 align:center
I do not know if God was with me

00:16:16.110 --> 00:16:18.453 align:center
in Celyddon all these many years, Grandfather.

00:16:20.250 --> 00:16:21.663 align:center
But I know Morgian was.

00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.643 align:center
Trust in Jesu, Hawk.

00:16:28.290 --> 00:16:30.973 align:center
He is the only hope for men like us,

00:16:35.499 --> 00:16:36.832 align:center
if hope we have.

00:16:39.296 --> 00:16:43.463 align:center
(relaxed dramatic ensemble music)

00:16:52.137 --> 00:16:57.137 align:center
(relaxed dramatic ensemble music continues)

00:17:05.810 --> 00:17:08.727 align:center
(animals chirping)

00:17:17.536 --> 00:17:21.286 align:center
(animals chirping continues)

00:17:30.004 --> 00:17:33.754 align:center
(animals chirping continues)

00:17:35.284 --> 00:17:37.774 align:center
(dagger thwacks)

00:17:37.774 --> 00:17:39.093 align:center
So,

00:17:39.093 --> 00:17:40.803 align:center
tell me about this place,

00:17:41.706 --> 00:17:42.539 align:center
Maridunum.

00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:48.330 align:center
Built by the Romans in the heart of a plentiful valley,

00:17:48.330 --> 00:17:49.560 align:center
not far from the sea.

00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:51.480 align:center
Your steward has a nasty habit

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.230 align:center
of speaking on your behalf, Merlin.

00:17:54.990 --> 00:17:59.283 align:center
If he were mine, I would have him flogged for impertinence.

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.633 align:center
Pelleas speaks as he serves, of his own free will.

00:18:05.190 --> 00:18:06.790 align:center
So you would have him believe.

00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:10.700 align:center
Are you suggesting the Emrys has me spellbound?

00:18:12.210 --> 00:18:14.433 align:center
Your words, boy, not mine.

00:18:15.810 --> 00:18:18.090 align:center
You surprise me, Uther.

00:18:18.090 --> 00:18:21.025 align:center
I didn't take you for one who believed in magic.

00:18:21.025 --> 00:18:21.930 align:center
(strings strumming softly)

00:18:21.930 --> 00:18:25.050 align:center
When a man catches the gaze of a beautiful woman,

00:18:25.050 --> 00:18:26.613 align:center
is that not a form of magic?

00:18:28.530 --> 00:18:31.530 align:center
Or when a king through cunning and deceit

00:18:31.530 --> 00:18:33.183 align:center
wrests fealty from his people?

00:18:34.710 --> 00:18:36.310 align:center
Is that not a sorcery of a kind?

00:18:37.225 --> 00:18:38.390 align:center
(birds chirping)

00:18:38.390 --> 00:18:41.040 align:center
Myrddin, you know what you must do.

00:18:41.040 --> 00:18:43.957 align:center
(mysterious music)

00:18:49.634 --> 00:18:52.301 align:center
(fire crackles)

00:18:57.675 --> 00:18:58.508 align:center
I see you.

00:18:59.683 --> 00:19:02.933 align:center
I see you, now come here, come find me.

00:19:05.722 --> 00:19:10.143 align:center
You need to find her, you only need the one.

00:19:10.143 --> 00:19:11.810 align:center
Why do you hesitate?

00:19:12.787 --> 00:19:14.490 align:center
You know what you must do.

00:19:14.490 --> 00:19:15.323 align:center
Master,

00:19:17.895 --> 00:19:18.812 align:center
what is it?

00:19:21.441 --> 00:19:24.858 align:center
(relaxed ensemble music)

00:19:33.372 --> 00:19:37.622 align:center
(relaxed ensemble music continues)

00:19:41.928 --> 00:19:44.678 align:center
You wanna go to the pub?
Yeah.

00:19:47.742 --> 00:19:50.909 align:center
(soft dramatic music)

00:19:54.103 --> 00:19:56.770 align:center
(soft chanting)

00:19:58.088 --> 00:20:00.623 align:center
(rain pattering)

00:20:00.623 --> 00:20:03.623 align:center
(distant dog barks)

00:20:10.068 --> 00:20:12.735 align:center
(anxious music)

00:20:19.774 --> 00:20:21.357 align:center
Delightful place.

00:20:29.143 --> 00:20:31.893 align:center
(rain pattering)

00:20:34.433 --> 00:20:36.540 align:center
What is your business here?

00:20:36.540 --> 00:20:38.493 align:center
I've come to seek a home I once knew.

00:20:40.890 --> 00:20:41.890 align:center
What home is that?

00:20:43.515 --> 00:20:44.865 align:center
The last time I was here,

00:20:48.192 --> 00:20:50.040 align:center
Pendaran the Red Sword was king.

00:20:51.870 --> 00:20:52.703 align:center
Myrddin?

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:57.660 align:center
Let them in at once.

00:20:57.660 --> 00:20:58.863 align:center
See to their horses.

00:21:06.585 --> 00:21:09.277 align:center
(doors creak)

00:21:09.277 --> 00:21:12.307 align:center
(soft music)

00:21:12.307 --> 00:21:16.140 align:center
The same raid that took Maelwys took the town

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:17.940 align:center
and Teithfallt, my father, tried to save

00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:19.940 align:center
what he could but there wasn't much left

00:21:20.812 --> 00:21:23.112 align:center
and that is but the beginning of our troubles.

00:21:24.420 --> 00:21:27.173 align:center
The same story is told throughout these lands.

00:21:28.050 --> 00:21:30.360 align:center
I fear a greater threat is coming.

00:21:30.360 --> 00:21:32.660 align:center
Yes, it's a different world since,

00:21:33.540 --> 00:21:35.373 align:center
well, since you've been away.

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.083 align:center
Will you sit at our table, my Lord?

00:21:42.150 --> 00:21:42.983 align:center
Most kind.

00:21:47.970 --> 00:21:50.520 align:center
Why does she offer him the King's seat?

00:21:50.520 --> 00:21:53.403 align:center
Because Merlin is the rightful king of Maridunum.

00:21:57.670 --> 00:21:59.883 align:center
Allow me to fill your cup, my Lord.

00:22:02.227 --> 00:22:04.012 align:center
(knife clacks)

00:22:04.012 --> 00:22:06.762 align:center
(drink trickles)

00:22:16.199 --> 00:22:19.282 align:center
(soft anxious music)

00:22:20.688 --> 00:22:21.660 align:center
(door creaks)

00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:24.630 align:center
Bring me my cup. (chuckles)

00:22:24.630 --> 00:22:28.680 align:center
This beast led me deep into the hills

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:30.513 align:center
but I could not give up the chase.

00:22:32.130 --> 00:22:35.080 align:center
These days, it's rare when I get occasion to nock an arrow.

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.170 align:center
A fine prize, Meurig Ap Tewdrig.

00:22:40.170 --> 00:22:42.783 align:center
Son, meet our guests.

00:22:44.340 --> 00:22:48.183 align:center
Uther, Pelleas and Myrddin Emrys.

00:22:51.678 --> 00:22:54.345 align:center
(Meurig grunts)

00:22:57.675 --> 00:22:59.850 align:center
I must say, the brewer's art has reached

00:22:59.850 --> 00:23:03.060 align:center
new heights since I last held a cup such as this.

00:23:03.060 --> 00:23:05.190 align:center
This draught is worthy of any king.

00:23:05.190 --> 00:23:07.680 align:center
You shall have a butt of it to take with you.

00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.141 align:center
Yes, when you've concluded your business here.

00:23:11.141 --> 00:23:13.808 align:center
(dish clatters)

00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:16.800 align:center
What is your business?

00:23:16.800 --> 00:23:18.180 align:center
Perhaps our business is best

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:19.890 align:center
discussed in the light of day.

00:23:19.890 --> 00:23:23.553 align:center
We are here to garner support for my brother,

00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:26.830 align:center
Aurelius, the High King of Britain.

00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:29.280 align:center
High King?

00:23:29.280 --> 00:23:31.353 align:center
Vortigern has already claimed that title.

00:23:33.270 --> 00:23:36.003 align:center
Vortigern no longer has need of it.

00:23:41.585 --> 00:23:46.585 align:center
Well, (grunt) I congratulate you on your victory.

00:23:46.890 --> 00:23:50.163 align:center
Over an old man already exhausted and sore beset.

00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:54.243 align:center
The greater challenge lies ahead.

00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:55.973 align:center
The Saecsens.

00:23:56.970 --> 00:23:59.880 align:center
And a host of lesser kings who think themselves

00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:02.133 align:center
eminently qualified to bear the crown.

00:24:04.110 --> 00:24:07.683 align:center
And they will have no choice but to fall in line.

00:24:11.015 --> 00:24:12.180 align:center
(knife clacks)

00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:13.013 align:center
Won't they?

00:24:16.290 --> 00:24:17.583 align:center
Hear me, Tewdrig.

00:24:19.035 --> 00:24:21.390 align:center
The Saecsen Hengist has assembled the greatest war host

00:24:21.390 --> 00:24:23.240 align:center
ever seen in the Island of the Mighty

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:25.980 align:center
and before the summer is through,

00:24:25.980 --> 00:24:27.380 align:center
he means to take the throne.

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:31.800 align:center
And he will have it if we are too busy

00:24:31.800 --> 00:24:34.743 align:center
squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him.

00:24:36.330 --> 00:24:41.040 align:center
We have arms, we have horses and men who can use them.

00:24:41.040 --> 00:24:41.873 align:center
Meurig.

00:24:43.290 --> 00:24:45.180 align:center
Am I not the commander of our army?

00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:47.880 align:center
Yes, an honor you insist on squandering at every turn.

00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.474 align:center
What choice do I have when you've all but tied my hands?

00:24:49.474 --> 00:24:50.307 align:center
Silence!

00:24:57.057 --> 00:25:00.303 align:center
The day grows long and I am not a young man.

00:25:03.990 --> 00:25:06.993 align:center
If we may presume upon your hospitality a while longer?

00:25:08.670 --> 00:25:11.610 align:center
Yes, I shall prepare some rooms for you and your men.

00:25:11.610 --> 00:25:13.110 align:center
Perhaps the Emrys would prefer

00:25:13.110 --> 00:25:14.703 align:center
to stay in his old quarters?

00:25:16.020 --> 00:25:18.903 align:center
The King's quarters? (chuckles)

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:21.470 align:center
Yes, should he wish to.

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:24.753 align:center
We insist.
Thank you, my lady.

00:25:28.527 --> 00:25:31.194 align:center
(anxious music)

00:25:40.309 --> 00:25:43.809 align:center
(anxious music continues)

00:25:48.436 --> 00:25:52.624 align:center
(soft strings strumming)

00:25:52.624 --> 00:25:55.291 align:center
(fire crackles)

00:25:56.914 --> 00:25:59.965 align:center
Merlin, win me a kingdom.

00:25:59.965 --> 00:26:02.632 align:center
(relaxed music)

00:26:08.434 --> 00:26:11.101 align:center
(person knocks)

00:26:15.669 --> 00:26:17.169 align:center
Uther.

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:21.453 align:center
Do you take me for a fool?

00:26:23.520 --> 00:26:24.353 align:center
I do not.

00:26:24.353 --> 00:26:27.573 align:center
Then perhaps you should stop treating me as one.

00:26:28.620 --> 00:26:32.303 align:center
I have promised to raise an army for your brother, Uther.

00:26:32.303 --> 00:26:35.082 align:center
How I conduct my own affairs is not your concern.

00:26:35.082 --> 00:26:36.957 align:center
You may have swayed my brother

00:26:36.957 --> 00:26:40.350 align:center
but your powers of persuasion will not work with me.

00:26:40.350 --> 00:26:42.323 align:center
Of that, I have no doubt.

00:26:44.287 --> 00:26:46.875 align:center
(door clacks)

00:26:46.875 --> 00:26:50.292 align:center
(anxious dramatic music)

00:26:58.940 --> 00:27:03.359 align:center
(anxious dramatic music continues)

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.609 align:center
(anxious violin music)

00:27:15.781 --> 00:27:19.864 align:center
(anxious violin music continues)

00:27:26.791 --> 00:27:31.791 align:center
(stone clacks)
(crab shell crackles)

00:27:34.255 --> 00:27:35.088 align:center
Urien?

00:27:41.380 --> 00:27:42.933 align:center
There you are, my darling.

00:27:43.800 --> 00:27:46.980 align:center
You must hurry along to your studies with Kelias.

00:27:46.980 --> 00:27:48.720 align:center
I don't wanna study.

00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.590 align:center
You must if you are to advance in your learning.

00:27:52.590 --> 00:27:57.423 align:center
Remember Urien, your mother knows what's best for you.

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:02.213 align:center
Off with you.

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.647 align:center
(eerie ominous music)

00:28:12.690 --> 00:28:14.990 align:center
No one seeks our counsel, or our aid.

00:28:16.317 --> 00:28:19.473 align:center
All because we live on these distant, God-forsaken shores.

00:28:20.340 --> 00:28:21.210 align:center
The greater part of Britain

00:28:21.210 --> 00:28:23.280 align:center
could burn and we'd be none the wiser.

00:28:23.280 --> 00:28:25.893 align:center
Let it burn, what difference does it make?

00:28:27.115 --> 00:28:28.710 align:center
We are alone and undefended, Father.

00:28:28.710 --> 00:28:31.440 align:center
Should we not seek alliances for the welfare of our kingdom?

00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:33.427 align:center
If we we to appeal to Vortigern-

00:28:33.427 --> 00:28:35.103 align:center
Vortigern is dead.

00:28:39.360 --> 00:28:42.333 align:center
His tower fell to the sons of Constans not two weeks ago.

00:28:43.965 --> 00:28:45.390 align:center
How do you know this?

00:28:45.390 --> 00:28:48.990 align:center
No doubt Aurelius will claim the throne for himself.

00:28:48.990 --> 00:28:50.100 align:center
The soil of these lands

00:28:50.100 --> 00:28:52.980 align:center
is soaked in the blood of would-be kings.

00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:54.180 align:center
Perhaps we should consider

00:28:54.180 --> 00:28:55.983 align:center
pledging our support to Aurelius.

00:29:01.710 --> 00:29:02.543 align:center
My dear Lot,

00:29:04.762 --> 00:29:08.520 align:center
have you forgotten the deal we made with the Saecsen chief?

00:29:08.520 --> 00:29:09.970 align:center
How could I forget, Mother,

00:29:10.890 --> 00:29:13.840 align:center
when I so strongly opposed our alliance with those savages?

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:16.743 align:center
Is Hengist a savage?

00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:20.100 align:center
He fights for the interests

00:29:20.100 --> 00:29:22.503 align:center
of his kind just as Aurelius does.

00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.540 align:center
But we are Britons, we should support our people.

00:29:27.540 --> 00:29:29.673 align:center
Are they our people?

00:29:30.903 --> 00:29:33.240 align:center
Only a moment ago, you were bemoaning the fact

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:35.190 align:center
that we were all but forgotten by them.

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:39.600 align:center
But what do I know of these things?

00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:42.663 align:center
I'm merely a wife and a mother.

00:29:45.150 --> 00:29:48.990 align:center
Still, I cannot help but wonder if there is not a greater

00:29:48.990 --> 00:29:53.833 align:center
strategic advantage for you in the current arrangement?

00:29:56.820 --> 00:30:00.450 align:center
You could be a most valuable ally to Hengist.

00:30:00.450 --> 00:30:02.067 align:center
The Saecsen?

00:30:02.067 --> 00:30:04.749 align:center
The future is Saecsen.

00:30:04.749 --> 00:30:07.416 align:center
(ominous music)

00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:15.363 align:center
I trust you slept well, Uther?

00:30:16.719 --> 00:30:18.840 align:center
A soldier always sleeps with one eye open.

00:30:18.840 --> 00:30:20.905 align:center
That sounds inconvenient.

00:30:20.905 --> 00:30:22.890 align:center
Not as inconvenient as a knife in the back.

00:30:22.890 --> 00:30:25.410 align:center
Come, we're all friends here.

00:30:25.410 --> 00:30:26.243 align:center
I've known many an enemy

00:30:26.243 --> 00:30:28.257 align:center
that came in the guise of a friend, Merlin.

00:30:28.257 --> 00:30:29.553 align:center
Ah, my Lord Myrddin.

00:30:31.110 --> 00:30:33.160 align:center
I wonder if I might have a word with you?

00:30:35.910 --> 00:30:36.880 align:center
In private.

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:39.412 align:center
Of course.

00:30:41.190 --> 00:30:42.903 align:center
Do keep Uther out of trouble.

00:30:46.274 --> 00:30:48.941 align:center
(fire crackles)

00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:54.513 align:center
Shall we seek out a morsel to eat?

00:31:02.204 --> 00:31:05.684 align:center
(townsfolk chattering)

00:31:05.684 --> 00:31:08.434 align:center
(animals mooing)

00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.960 align:center
Oh yeah, now give me a knife, I'll teach ya.

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:17.300 align:center
Watch it.
Cheers.

00:31:19.154 --> 00:31:22.799 align:center
(townsfolk chattering)

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.299 align:center
(door creaks)

00:31:31.754 --> 00:31:34.050 align:center
A cup of your famous mead, friend.

00:31:34.050 --> 00:31:36.660 align:center
We have no mead here, only wine.

00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:38.313 align:center
Then a cup of your famous wine.

00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:46.450 align:center
They water it down the Roman way

00:31:49.530 --> 00:31:52.647 align:center
but in good measure, it serves its purpose.

00:31:52.647 --> 00:31:55.230 align:center
(men laughing)

00:32:03.990 --> 00:32:05.910 align:center
Does the warband of Maridunum

00:32:05.910 --> 00:32:08.703 align:center
spend all its days drinking rather than training?

00:32:10.860 --> 00:32:12.510 align:center
But you see, we are training,

00:32:12.510 --> 00:32:15.130 align:center
right here in the darkness of this hovel

00:32:16.110 --> 00:32:18.060 align:center
with nothing to slake our thirst

00:32:18.060 --> 00:32:20.485 align:center
but this sorry excuse for wine, eh?

00:32:20.485 --> 00:32:23.250 align:center
(men laughing)

00:32:23.250 --> 00:32:26.943 align:center
To your safe return, after such a long absence.

00:32:27.792 --> 00:32:30.542 align:center
(birds chirping)

00:32:34.950 --> 00:32:37.743 align:center
Forgive me if I know not how to receive you.

00:32:38.760 --> 00:32:40.260 align:center
This is your realm and rightly so

00:32:40.260 --> 00:32:42.660 align:center
but I have been king here these many years.

00:32:42.660 --> 00:32:45.240 align:center
And your father and his father before you.

00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:46.530 align:center
Yes.

00:32:46.530 --> 00:32:48.780 align:center
And your son is next in line to the throne.

00:32:51.030 --> 00:32:52.560 align:center
Meurig is more interested in hunting

00:32:52.560 --> 00:32:55.710 align:center
and drinking than in the affairs of our kingdom.

00:32:55.710 --> 00:32:57.410 align:center
And yet, he is your battlechief.

00:32:59.543 --> 00:33:02.100 align:center
'Tis a wonder how he has time for leisure,

00:33:02.100 --> 00:33:04.023 align:center
given the frequency of the raids.

00:33:04.914 --> 00:33:08.010 align:center
(anxious music)

00:33:08.010 --> 00:33:09.993 align:center
Yours is a fruitful land, Tewdrig.

00:33:11.010 --> 00:33:14.490 align:center
Yet your fields are stripped, your walls are broken,

00:33:14.490 --> 00:33:17.313 align:center
provisions are strained even at the king's table.

00:33:18.510 --> 00:33:21.153 align:center
At whose hand do you suffer this injustice?

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:23.853 align:center
Not the Saecsen, surely,

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:27.260 align:center
for you would not have lived to tell the tale.

00:33:31.778 --> 00:33:33.600 align:center
Morcant of the Belgae?

00:33:33.600 --> 00:33:35.490 align:center
He's been bleeding the neighboring lands

00:33:35.490 --> 00:33:38.070 align:center
of grain and cattle for the better part of a year,

00:33:38.070 --> 00:33:40.350 align:center
like a ravenous bear intent on

00:33:40.350 --> 00:33:42.513 align:center
slumbering through the long winter.

00:33:43.530 --> 00:33:44.961 align:center
Why?

00:33:44.961 --> 00:33:47.560 align:center
He knows war with the Saecsen is coming

00:33:49.080 --> 00:33:51.870 align:center
and he intends to wait it out

00:33:51.870 --> 00:33:53.853 align:center
with ample provisions to spare.

00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:56.520 align:center
And you allow him to take from you?

00:33:56.520 --> 00:33:58.530 align:center
His men outnumber us two to one.

00:33:58.530 --> 00:34:00.720 align:center
So you let your people starve?

00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:03.630 align:center
I am not willing to lead my people to destruction.

00:34:03.630 --> 00:34:04.740 align:center
It is because you're not willing

00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:08.280 align:center
to lead them that their destruction is at hand.

00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:10.320 align:center
We cannot fight him.

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:12.630 align:center
But fight him we would!
(men cheer)

00:34:12.630 --> 00:34:15.930 align:center
We'd rather suffer the sword opposing that snake

00:34:15.930 --> 00:34:18.055 align:center
than let him take what's rightfully ours!

00:34:18.055 --> 00:34:20.220 align:center
(men cheering)

00:34:20.220 --> 00:34:21.920 align:center
You've told your father as much?

00:34:23.070 --> 00:34:26.610 align:center
My father is too proud to heed our counsel.

00:34:26.610 --> 00:34:27.760 align:center
I'm ashamed, Myrddin.

00:34:29.328 --> 00:34:30.245 align:center
I admit it.

00:34:32.550 --> 00:34:33.933 align:center
I saw no other way.

00:34:38.863 --> 00:34:42.633 align:center
I often question whether I'm worthy to wear the Torc.

00:34:44.640 --> 00:34:45.783 align:center
If I am a king,

00:34:48.954 --> 00:34:50.154 align:center
I'm not a very good one.

00:34:51.820 --> 00:34:53.580 align:center
(anxious music)

00:34:53.580 --> 00:34:55.290 align:center
Your father must have good reason

00:34:55.290 --> 00:34:57.213 align:center
to let this insult go unanswered.

00:34:58.380 --> 00:35:01.980 align:center
No king would suffer such humiliation lightly.

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:05.490 align:center
Well, whatever his reason, it will not matter for long.

00:35:05.490 --> 00:35:07.770 align:center
My family has ruled this kingdom

00:35:07.770 --> 00:35:09.873 align:center
for the last three generations.

00:35:10.740 --> 00:35:14.010 align:center
Now Merlin returns to claim his throne

00:35:14.010 --> 00:35:16.143 align:center
and we can hardly stand in his way.

00:35:17.430 --> 00:35:18.430 align:center
He is but one man.

00:35:19.874 --> 00:35:22.720 align:center
(men laughing)

00:35:22.720 --> 00:35:23.553 align:center
What?

00:35:25.580 --> 00:35:26.583 align:center
Do you not know?

00:35:28.314 --> 00:35:31.042 align:center
(anxious music)

00:35:31.042 --> 00:35:33.542 align:center
(door creaks)

00:35:41.220 --> 00:35:44.013 align:center
Painted by a Faery woman many years ago,

00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:46.743 align:center
or so the story is told.

00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:51.360 align:center
They say Merlin slew 70 men

00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:53.883 align:center
with his own hands within these very gates.

00:35:54.900 --> 00:35:55.833 align:center
At Goddeu,

00:35:57.742 --> 00:35:59.373 align:center
at Goddeu, he slew 500.

00:36:02.730 --> 00:36:05.430 align:center
No man is capable of such a thing.

00:36:05.430 --> 00:36:06.333 align:center
No mortal man.

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:09.630 align:center
They say when the awen falls upon him,

00:36:09.630 --> 00:36:12.120 align:center
he is given strength from heaven.

00:36:12.120 --> 00:36:14.790 align:center
The world stops.

00:36:14.790 --> 00:36:17.073 align:center
None can stand before him.

00:36:19.316 --> 00:36:22.047 align:center
I can assure you, friend,

00:36:22.047 --> 00:36:24.847 align:center
the only thing that matters in battle is brute strength.

00:36:27.420 --> 00:36:29.433 align:center
Magic is for druids and bored women.

00:36:31.721 --> 00:36:33.780 align:center
(anxious music)

00:36:33.780 --> 00:36:34.613 align:center
Perhaps.

00:36:36.780 --> 00:36:40.300 align:center
But he is legend in these lands

00:36:41.287 --> 00:36:42.693 align:center
and he is more than a king.

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:46.113 align:center
He is nearly an Otherworldly being.

00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:52.380 align:center
He will take the Torc from my father

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:55.000 align:center
and declare himself High King before he is through

00:36:56.700 --> 00:36:59.040 align:center
and neither you nor the Saecsens

00:36:59.040 --> 00:37:02.853 align:center
nor all the armies of Britain and Armorica can hinder him,

00:37:04.710 --> 00:37:06.310 align:center
unless we stop him here

00:37:07.950 --> 00:37:08.783 align:center
and now.

00:37:10.061 --> 00:37:13.282 align:center
(soldier grunts)
(sword scrapes)

00:37:13.282 --> 00:37:15.782 align:center
(tense music)

00:37:19.612 --> 00:37:22.529 align:center
(ominous chanting)

00:37:28.897 --> 00:37:31.290 align:center
You must listen to me, Uther.

00:37:31.290 --> 00:37:33.933 align:center
Out of my way, steward.

00:37:37.350 --> 00:37:38.733 align:center
I bested you once before.

00:37:40.740 --> 00:37:42.210 align:center
Don't make me do it again.

00:37:42.210 --> 00:37:44.260 align:center
You had the element of surprise before.

00:37:45.510 --> 00:37:46.620 align:center
Not this time.

00:37:46.620 --> 00:37:48.757 align:center
You thought that was my only surprise?

00:37:48.757 --> 00:37:53.757 align:center
(blade scrapes)
(Meurig shouts)

00:37:54.892 --> 00:37:58.114 align:center
(Meurig grunts)

00:37:58.114 --> 00:38:00.614 align:center
(tense music)

00:38:08.763 --> 00:38:11.430 align:center
You would attack an unarmed man?

00:38:12.531 --> 00:38:15.364 align:center
(low tense music)

00:38:24.796 --> 00:38:27.963 align:center
(combatants grunting)

00:38:30.351 --> 00:38:32.934 align:center
(pot shatters)

00:38:33.981 --> 00:38:36.564 align:center
(skin sizzles)

00:38:39.141 --> 00:38:42.336 align:center
(Pelleas screams)

00:38:42.336 --> 00:38:45.503 align:center
(combatants grunting)

00:38:50.520 --> 00:38:52.230 align:center
Stop this, Uther.

00:38:52.230 --> 00:38:53.883 align:center
You risk ruining the Emrys' work.

00:38:55.012 --> 00:38:56.912 align:center
That is exactly what I intend to do.

00:38:59.857 --> 00:39:01.837 align:center
(sword clanks)

00:39:01.837 --> 00:39:04.893 align:center
(tense music)

00:39:04.893 --> 00:39:07.560 align:center
(Meurig groans)

00:39:13.668 --> 00:39:15.168 align:center
Uther!

00:39:15.168 --> 00:39:18.251 align:center
(tense rising tones)

00:39:19.298 --> 00:39:22.320 align:center
(heartbeat pounds)

00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.070 align:center
(fire crackling)

00:39:26.530 --> 00:39:28.270 align:center
Stand up, King Tewdrig.

00:39:30.071 --> 00:39:32.821 align:center
(birds chirping)

00:39:35.970 --> 00:39:38.320 align:center
You are right that you have failed your people.

00:39:40.230 --> 00:39:43.740 align:center
You have let fear rule your heart and govern your actions

00:39:43.740 --> 00:39:45.750 align:center
and I do indeed have every right to reclaim

00:39:45.750 --> 00:39:48.243 align:center
my kingship and take back what is lawfully mine.

00:39:51.431 --> 00:39:54.193 align:center
But I deem it best to let my claim lapse.

00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:59.613 align:center
Too many years have passed for me to take back my throne.

00:40:01.590 --> 00:40:04.653 align:center
Myrddin will not be king again in Maridunum,

00:40:06.450 --> 00:40:08.973 align:center
provided you pledge your support to Aurelius.

00:40:09.976 --> 00:40:12.893 align:center
(heartbeat pounds)

00:40:15.120 --> 00:40:16.070 align:center
You have my word.

00:40:17.481 --> 00:40:20.901 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:40:20.901 --> 00:40:23.401 align:center
(Uther thuds)

00:40:26.460 --> 00:40:28.458 align:center
Are you quite well, Uther?

00:40:28.458 --> 00:40:31.491 align:center
Just short of breath is all.

00:40:31.491 --> 00:40:34.241 align:center
(birds chirping)

00:40:36.111 --> 00:40:38.220 align:center
My warband will not fight for Aurelius

00:40:38.220 --> 00:40:40.740 align:center
while Morcant can threatens our homes.

00:40:40.740 --> 00:40:41.640 align:center
Well, then it's a good thing we have

00:40:41.640 --> 00:40:44.703 align:center
the Battlechief of Britain to bring the Belgae to heel.

00:40:48.882 --> 00:40:50.282 align:center
I'm afraid I must decline.

00:40:51.240 --> 00:40:52.073 align:center
Uther?

00:40:53.064 --> 00:40:55.114 align:center
I will join your fight against Morcant.

00:40:56.340 --> 00:40:59.583 align:center
However, only as a simple soldier.

00:41:01.380 --> 00:41:04.773 align:center
A cunning strategy, Uther, if we survive it.

00:41:05.970 --> 00:41:08.583 align:center
There's nothing like a brisk ride to revive a man.

00:41:09.450 --> 00:41:14.450 align:center
(hand pats)
(relaxed music)

00:41:23.325 --> 00:41:26.825 align:center
(relaxed music continues)

00:41:29.921 --> 00:41:31.504 align:center
Yes, that's good.

00:41:35.097 --> 00:41:38.430 align:center
(attendants chattering)

00:41:40.918 --> 00:41:43.918 align:center
Jesu, receive your own with mercy.

00:41:46.408 --> 00:41:47.658 align:center
Who are they?

00:41:49.710 --> 00:41:50.543 align:center
Britons

00:41:52.260 --> 00:41:54.410 align:center
from the villages along our eastern border.

00:41:59.130 --> 00:42:04.130 align:center
The Saecsen move south and west, killing and plundering.

00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:07.620 align:center
They rarely leave survivors but when they do,

00:42:07.620 --> 00:42:09.213 align:center
we do what we can to lend aid.

00:42:10.532 --> 00:42:13.380 align:center
You care for the dying

00:42:13.380 --> 00:42:15.213 align:center
when you could prevent their death.

00:42:16.650 --> 00:42:19.172 align:center
You did what you could.

00:42:19.172 --> 00:42:20.243 align:center
No.

00:42:20.243 --> 00:42:22.023 align:center
No, no, you could have fought.

00:42:23.100 --> 00:42:26.970 align:center
What strength you think we have is an illusion.

00:42:26.970 --> 00:42:30.123 align:center
Each year, our numbers decline.

00:42:31.410 --> 00:42:33.830 align:center
Not a child has been born to us since...

00:42:38.219 --> 00:42:40.977 align:center
Our people are not long for this world.

00:42:42.030 --> 00:42:43.980 align:center
You have weapons like none have seen,

00:42:44.850 --> 00:42:47.400 align:center
armor to stop the fiercest Saecsen blade.

00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:48.663 align:center
As king,

00:42:49.830 --> 00:42:51.573 align:center
my duty is to my people.

00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:56.970 align:center
I cannot fight your war for you, Aurelius,

00:42:56.970 --> 00:42:59.073 align:center
no matter how just the cause.

00:43:02.040 --> 00:43:03.003 align:center
We are too few.

00:43:04.608 --> 00:43:07.191 align:center
(somber music)

00:43:14.580 --> 00:43:16.063 align:center
Where are the Saecsen now?

00:43:17.279 --> 00:43:19.946 align:center
(ominous music)

00:43:23.650 --> 00:43:26.233 align:center
(knife slices)

00:43:27.600 --> 00:43:30.100 align:center
Lot is in line for the throne, after all.

00:43:32.062 --> 00:43:33.923 align:center
And a fine king you'll make, my son.

00:43:36.390 --> 00:43:37.223 align:center
But

00:43:38.220 --> 00:43:41.133 align:center
who are we if not people of our word?

00:43:45.120 --> 00:43:47.730 align:center
They say Hengist makes his men

00:43:47.730 --> 00:43:50.249 align:center
fight to the death for his amusement.

00:43:50.249 --> 00:43:52.620 align:center
(Morgian laughs)

00:43:52.620 --> 00:43:54.870 align:center
You must not believe everything you hear.

00:43:54.870 --> 00:43:58.743 align:center
Aurelius, on the other hand, is of noble blood.

00:43:59.610 --> 00:44:01.170 align:center
A diplomat.

00:44:01.170 --> 00:44:03.000 align:center
Lot has a point.

00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:05.373 align:center
Is Aurelius not more fit to lead?

00:44:09.030 --> 00:44:10.230 align:center
Who knows who'll rule these lands

00:44:10.230 --> 00:44:11.530 align:center
when all is said and done.

00:44:16.410 --> 00:44:19.710 align:center
But if it is your desire to break faith with the Saecsens,

00:44:19.710 --> 00:44:22.963 align:center
then who am I to oppose you?

00:44:22.963 --> 00:44:23.796 align:center
(fish bone breaks)

00:44:23.796 --> 00:44:27.490 align:center
But I admit, I do worry how he will receive you

00:44:28.410 --> 00:44:31.023 align:center
if word comes to him of your dealings with Hengist.

00:44:31.947 --> 00:44:33.330 align:center
Yes.

00:44:33.330 --> 00:44:36.540 align:center
Yes, we must not have him taking you for a traitor.

00:44:36.540 --> 00:44:37.373 align:center
A traitor?

00:44:38.377 --> 00:44:39.677 align:center
I had not thought of that.

00:44:40.650 --> 00:44:42.690 align:center
Surely anyone suspected of conspiring

00:44:42.690 --> 00:44:45.603 align:center
with the Saecsens would be shown no mercy.

00:44:47.460 --> 00:44:49.460 align:center
I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

00:44:50.807 --> 00:44:54.140 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:45:03.126 --> 00:45:04.980 align:center
(horse grunts)

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:06.643 align:center
Pray to your God, Merlin.

00:45:08.100 --> 00:45:09.813 align:center
It isn't much of a plan.

00:45:10.710 --> 00:45:13.460 align:center
My God hears the prayers of all who call on His name.

00:45:19.410 --> 00:45:21.160 align:center
Did something happen to your eye?

00:45:25.402 --> 00:45:28.735 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:45:37.680 --> 00:45:41.430 align:center
(dramatic music ends)

00:45:46.860 --> 00:45:49.060 align:center
You would ride to the village's aid alone?

00:45:51.240 --> 00:45:52.073 align:center
I would try.

00:45:54.231 --> 00:45:57.187 align:center
You are a good man, son of Constans, but foolish.

00:45:58.830 --> 00:46:00.720 align:center
What would you have me do?

00:46:00.720 --> 00:46:01.590 align:center
What kind of king would I be

00:46:01.590 --> 00:46:03.420 align:center
if I let my people be slaughtered?

00:46:03.420 --> 00:46:05.763 align:center
A king who knows his limitations.

00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:08.860 align:center
There will be other battles, Aurelius.

00:46:10.080 --> 00:46:11.103 align:center
You are one man.

00:46:12.750 --> 00:46:14.350 align:center
You don't even know the country.

00:46:18.180 --> 00:46:19.013 align:center
I'm not above asking you

00:46:19.013 --> 00:46:20.633 align:center
to point me in the right direction.

00:46:25.950 --> 00:46:27.923 align:center
I have only one thing to offer my people,

00:46:30.180 --> 00:46:31.013 align:center
everything.

00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:41.610 align:center
Our soldiers cannot ride with you to Rianfa

00:46:43.770 --> 00:46:46.860 align:center
but perhaps they will escort their princess

00:46:46.860 --> 00:46:49.110 align:center
on a ride through our easternmost holdings.

00:46:49.110 --> 00:46:50.224 align:center
My lady-

00:46:50.224 --> 00:46:52.013 align:center
But we cannot leave our territory, Aurelius.

00:46:52.860 --> 00:46:56.583 align:center
If you choose to engage the Saecsen, you do it alone.

00:46:57.612 --> 00:47:01.529 align:center
(dramatic inspirational music)

00:47:10.729 --> 00:47:15.479 align:center
(dramatic inspirational music continues)

00:47:24.174 --> 00:47:28.924 align:center
(dramatic inspirational music continues)

00:47:32.570 --> 00:47:35.320 align:center
(rain pattering)

00:47:41.970 --> 00:47:42.803 align:center
Stop there.

00:47:46.445 --> 00:47:49.112 align:center
(anxious music)

00:47:53.581 --> 00:47:55.170 align:center
What is your business here?

00:47:55.170 --> 00:47:57.600 align:center
You Belgae grow fat from the grain

00:47:57.600 --> 00:47:59.727 align:center
plundered from the fields of Maridunum!

00:48:01.923 --> 00:48:03.397 align:center
And?

00:48:03.397 --> 00:48:05.073 align:center
And we're taking it back.

00:48:06.200 --> 00:48:08.950 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:48:12.540 --> 00:48:14.103 align:center
No one need die today.

00:48:14.940 --> 00:48:18.450 align:center
Tell your king Myrddin Emrys demands an audience.

00:48:18.450 --> 00:48:20.523 align:center
My king is not so easily summoned.

00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:23.943 align:center
I do not intend to make it easy.

00:48:23.943 --> 00:48:26.298 align:center
(soldiers shout)

00:48:26.298 --> 00:48:27.616 align:center
(bowstrings creaking)

00:48:27.616 --> 00:48:29.194 align:center
(arrow thwacks)

00:48:29.194 --> 00:48:30.944 align:center
Mariduns, dismount!

00:48:33.330 --> 00:48:35.438 align:center
(gate creaks)

00:48:35.438 --> 00:48:38.438 align:center
(soldiers shouting)

00:48:40.420 --> 00:48:44.337 align:center
(dramatic inspirational music)

00:48:53.430 --> 00:48:58.180 align:center
(dramatic inspirational music continues)

00:49:04.545 --> 00:49:07.212 align:center
(ominous music)

00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:13.127 align:center
(townsfolk screaming)

00:49:15.644 --> 00:49:18.394 align:center
(blades slicing)

00:49:27.178 --> 00:49:30.533 align:center
(axe clacking)

00:49:30.533 --> 00:49:32.283 align:center
If I do not return,

00:49:34.158 --> 00:49:37.969 align:center
tell my brother I died a noble death.

00:49:37.969 --> 00:49:39.908 align:center
(Aurelius grunts)

00:49:39.908 --> 00:49:42.658 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:49:47.153 --> 00:49:50.153 align:center
(soldiers shouting)

00:49:52.358 --> 00:49:55.191 align:center
(weapons slicing)

00:50:03.678 --> 00:50:05.978 align:center
(dramatic chanting)

00:50:05.978 --> 00:50:08.214 align:center
(Aldwyn speaks in Saecsen)

00:50:08.214 --> 00:50:10.074 align:center
(hooves clattering)

00:50:10.074 --> 00:50:13.449 align:center
(Aurelius grunts)

00:50:13.449 --> 00:50:16.621 align:center
(Aldwyn grunts)

00:50:16.621 --> 00:50:19.371 align:center
(tense drumbeat)

00:50:20.283 --> 00:50:23.200 align:center
(weapons clanking)

00:50:26.931 --> 00:50:30.098 align:center
(combatants grunting)

00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:34.432 align:center
Fire!

00:50:38.591 --> 00:50:41.758 align:center
(combatants grunting)

00:50:45.213 --> 00:50:47.713 align:center
(tense music)

00:50:54.374 --> 00:50:57.195 align:center
(weapon clanks)
(fist thuds)

00:50:57.195 --> 00:51:00.195 align:center
(soldiers grunting)

00:51:02.952 --> 00:51:06.183 align:center
(blade slices)
(soldier groans)

00:51:06.183 --> 00:51:07.516 align:center
For Maridunum!

00:51:08.437 --> 00:51:09.887 align:center
(Aldwyn spits)

00:51:09.887 --> 00:51:12.970 align:center
(tense rising music)

00:51:15.965 --> 00:51:18.298 align:center
(axe thuds)

00:51:24.613 --> 00:51:27.280 align:center
(Aldwyn grunts)

00:51:29.061 --> 00:51:31.728 align:center
(arrow thwacks)

00:51:33.022 --> 00:51:35.772 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:51:41.184 --> 00:51:43.684 align:center
(tense music)

00:51:51.983 --> 00:51:55.316 align:center
(tense music continues)

00:51:57.354 --> 00:52:00.021 align:center
(relaxed music)

00:52:05.982 --> 00:52:08.649 align:center
(Aldwyn shouts)

00:52:10.878 --> 00:52:13.862 align:center
(anxious music)

00:52:13.862 --> 00:52:16.862 align:center
(soldiers shouting)

00:52:18.623 --> 00:52:21.373 align:center
(blades slicing)

00:52:29.468 --> 00:52:32.635 align:center
(soft dramatic music)

00:52:41.387 --> 00:52:45.387 align:center
(soft dramatic music continues)

00:52:54.696 --> 00:52:58.696 align:center
(soft dramatic music continues)

00:53:08.258 --> 00:53:11.091 align:center
(blood squelches)

00:53:19.941 --> 00:53:22.691 align:center
(dramatic music)

00:53:29.154 --> 00:53:32.487 align:center
(dramatic rising tones)

00:53:33.500 --> 00:53:37.258 align:center
Morcant!

00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:41.750 align:center
(wind swooshes)

00:53:41.750 --> 00:53:44.667 align:center
(soldiers panting)

00:53:46.925 --> 00:53:49.092 align:center
What was that?

00:53:52.215 --> 00:53:55.048 align:center
(Aurelius coughs)

00:54:02.821 --> 00:54:05.488 align:center
(fire crackles)

00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:08.033 align:center
Thank you, my lady.

00:54:09.060 --> 00:54:10.143 align:center
Don't thank me yet.

00:54:11.430 --> 00:54:13.130 align:center
By the time this night is through,

00:54:14.040 --> 00:54:16.577 align:center
we may both be banished from the Summerlands.

00:54:22.372 --> 00:54:25.205 align:center
(fires crackling)

00:54:29.871 --> 00:54:32.704 align:center
(teeth crunching)

00:54:39.330 --> 00:54:40.593 align:center
Whoever you are,

00:54:41.460 --> 00:54:44.970 align:center
you've chosen a rather inopportune time to visit.

00:54:44.970 --> 00:54:46.353 align:center
I'm enjoying my supper.

00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:52.203 align:center
You know very well who I am, Morcant.

00:54:53.460 --> 00:54:55.060 align:center
I know who you claim to be

00:54:56.730 --> 00:54:58.680 align:center
but why should I take your word for it?

00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:03.930 align:center
I come with an offer of peace from Uther, Battlechief

00:55:03.930 --> 00:55:06.843 align:center
of Britain and brother of High King Aurelius himself.

00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:12.240 align:center
There'll be no peace in these lands 'til we are all dust.

00:55:12.240 --> 00:55:15.264 align:center
Or until the kings of Britain are united as one.

00:55:15.264 --> 00:55:18.014 align:center
(Morcant laughs)

00:55:19.140 --> 00:55:21.870 align:center
If you are the son of Taliesin,

00:55:21.870 --> 00:55:24.213 align:center
your wisdom is exaggerated.

00:55:25.680 --> 00:55:27.180 align:center
You ride with a force half the size

00:55:27.180 --> 00:55:29.373 align:center
of my own against a fortified position,

00:55:30.270 --> 00:55:33.393 align:center
my men will cut down your army in short order,

00:55:34.560 --> 00:55:35.913 align:center
if they have not already.

00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:38.910 align:center
You make war against your brother kings

00:55:38.910 --> 00:55:41.460 align:center
while the Saecsen threatens the doom of our people.

00:55:42.780 --> 00:55:44.253 align:center
Who is my brother?

00:55:47.700 --> 00:55:49.143 align:center
Who are my people?

00:55:50.520 --> 00:55:51.933 align:center
I'm King of the Belgae.

00:55:53.340 --> 00:55:55.470 align:center
No one else is my concern.

00:55:55.470 --> 00:55:57.690 align:center
And how will you defend the Belgae

00:55:57.690 --> 00:56:00.423 align:center
when the Saecsen horde marches across your fields?

00:56:01.530 --> 00:56:04.020 align:center
When was the last time you stood with a naked blade

00:56:04.020 --> 00:56:07.240 align:center
in your hand under the blast of the Saecsen war horn

00:56:08.100 --> 00:56:10.440 align:center
while a whole host Saecsen berserkers

00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:12.663 align:center
flew toward you over the battleground?

00:56:16.980 --> 00:56:21.210 align:center
I will be well-supplied after I march across every kingdom

00:56:21.210 --> 00:56:24.750 align:center
deserted by kings anxious to fight alongside

00:56:24.750 --> 00:56:29.750 align:center
your Battlechief Uther and his fool brother

00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:31.863 align:center
in their fool war.

00:56:32.940 --> 00:56:34.773 align:center
That is where you are wrong.

00:56:37.110 --> 00:56:38.553 align:center
There is to be no war.

00:56:42.315 --> 00:56:45.750 align:center
Uther himself has determined not to engage the Saecsen

00:56:45.750 --> 00:56:48.300 align:center
until you return what you have plundered

00:56:48.300 --> 00:56:50.283 align:center
and pledged fealty to Aurelius.

00:56:51.420 --> 00:56:54.337 align:center
(Morcant chuckles)

00:56:57.480 --> 00:56:59.853 align:center
If Aurelius does not engage the Saecsen,

00:57:00.750 --> 00:57:02.943 align:center
he will be High King of nothing.

00:57:04.616 --> 00:57:06.510 align:center
(drink trickles)

00:57:06.510 --> 00:57:09.450 align:center
Already this day, Uther rides against you.

00:57:09.450 --> 00:57:11.250 align:center
If he's the leader of this attack,

00:57:12.420 --> 00:57:14.670 align:center
then he's no Battlechief to be feared.

00:57:14.670 --> 00:57:15.503 align:center
Indeed.

00:57:17.040 --> 00:57:20.050 align:center
Uther does not command Tewdrig's warband.

00:57:21.780 --> 00:57:24.723 align:center
He rides today a simple soldier,

00:57:26.520 --> 00:57:28.473 align:center
indistinguishable from any other.

00:57:33.060 --> 00:57:34.143 align:center
You bluff.

00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:38.280 align:center
I do hope your men haven't killed him already.

00:57:40.080 --> 00:57:41.940 align:center
Aurelius slew the High King himself

00:57:41.940 --> 00:57:43.640 align:center
to avenge the death of his father.

00:57:45.330 --> 00:57:47.793 align:center
One can only imagine what he might do to you.

00:57:50.385 --> 00:57:53.052 align:center
(anxious music)

00:57:56.580 --> 00:57:58.290 align:center
Stay our archers.

00:57:58.290 --> 00:58:00.720 align:center
Call our warriors back behind the walls.

00:58:00.720 --> 00:58:01.553 align:center
Now!

00:58:02.580 --> 00:58:05.413 align:center
(cups clattering)

00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:08.373 align:center
Your plundering is at an end, Morcant.

00:58:09.750 --> 00:58:11.910 align:center
You've abused your power

00:58:11.910 --> 00:58:14.223 align:center
and now it is time for you to make amends.

00:58:15.210 --> 00:58:19.090 align:center
If you do not, Aurelius will continue to raise his army

00:58:20.370 --> 00:58:22.770 align:center
but it will not be the Saecsen he rides against.

00:58:25.091 --> 00:58:27.758 align:center
(relaxed music)

00:58:35.560 --> 00:58:38.643 align:center
(relaxed music ends)

00:58:39.570 --> 00:58:43.030 align:center
My daughter has long had a mind of her own

00:58:44.520 --> 00:58:48.453 align:center
and I have all but given up attempting to restrain it.

00:58:49.980 --> 00:58:52.470 align:center
But you who mean to make yourself

00:58:52.470 --> 00:58:54.933 align:center
High King should know better.

00:58:56.070 --> 00:58:58.370 align:center
If I do not allow my conscience to guide me,

00:59:00.540 --> 00:59:02.640 align:center
I'm unworthy of the crown.

00:59:02.640 --> 00:59:05.220 align:center
You put my people at risk.

00:59:05.220 --> 00:59:07.770 align:center
Your people are at risk already, King Avallach

00:59:07.770 --> 00:59:09.445 align:center
and will be as long as the Saecsen

00:59:09.445 --> 00:59:10.830 align:center
have a foothold in this land.

00:59:10.830 --> 00:59:12.360 align:center
Father, the Britons that survived

00:59:12.360 --> 00:59:14.040 align:center
the raid have been brought to the palace.

00:59:14.040 --> 00:59:14.873 align:center
I'm needed.

00:59:15.785 --> 00:59:18.535 align:center
(Avallach sighs)

00:59:25.645 --> 00:59:29.010 align:center
You cannot deliver your people from this threat

00:59:29.010 --> 00:59:32.610 align:center
if you throw your own life away, Aurelius.

00:59:32.610 --> 00:59:36.633 align:center
A king must sometimes make terrible choices.

00:59:37.950 --> 00:59:38.800 align:center
It was foolish.

00:59:40.290 --> 00:59:41.123 align:center
I know.

00:59:42.060 --> 00:59:44.670 align:center
In truth, I'm not ready for what is ahead.

00:59:44.670 --> 00:59:46.320 align:center
The battle against Vortigern was-

00:59:47.220 --> 00:59:48.450 align:center
Short?

00:59:48.450 --> 00:59:49.283 align:center
Decisive.

00:59:52.140 --> 00:59:54.420 align:center
I have little enough experience with war.

00:59:54.420 --> 00:59:55.670 align:center
That is abundantly clear.

00:59:56.520 --> 00:59:57.353 align:center
In truth,

00:59:59.940 --> 01:00:01.890 align:center
it was your daughter who saved my life.

01:00:03.720 --> 01:00:04.553 align:center
Yes.

01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:08.253 align:center
She has a way of doing that.

01:00:12.414 --> 01:00:15.914 align:center
(low inspirational music)

01:00:18.330 --> 01:00:19.960 align:center
You showed great courage today

01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:23.660 align:center
and a great love for the people you would rule

01:00:26.090 --> 01:00:28.963 align:center
and my God tells me there is no greater love

01:00:30.750 --> 01:00:32.700 align:center
than the willingness to die for others.

01:00:41.310 --> 01:00:45.483 align:center
Keep that up and you might just become High King after all.

01:00:52.389 --> 01:00:55.380 align:center
(relaxed flute music)

01:00:55.380 --> 01:00:56.213 align:center
Beer?

01:00:59.143 --> 01:01:01.210 align:center
A man of his word is King Tewdrig.

01:01:02.918 --> 01:01:03.960 align:center
Two more western kings

01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:05.920 align:center
have pledged their fealty to Aurelius.

01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:08.910 align:center
Their warbands ride eastward as we speak.

01:01:08.910 --> 01:01:10.563 align:center
Aurelius' legend grows.

01:01:10.563 --> 01:01:12.930 align:center
Aye.
As does your army.

01:01:12.930 --> 01:01:14.730 align:center
Now you must return to your brother.

01:01:15.603 --> 01:01:17.968 align:center
Pelleas and I ride north to Goddeu.

01:01:17.968 --> 01:01:18.968 align:center
You must ride alone.

01:01:20.334 --> 01:01:21.420 align:center
Have I not proven myself

01:01:21.420 --> 01:01:23.880 align:center
to be a pleasant enough traveling companion?

01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:27.180 align:center
Uther, you have proven yourself a cunning strategist

01:01:27.180 --> 01:01:28.983 align:center
and fiercely loyal to your brother.

01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:32.220 align:center
But you must take caution,

01:01:32.220 --> 01:01:34.170 align:center
for your loyalty could be your undoing.

01:01:36.630 --> 01:01:37.890 align:center
More riddles.

01:01:37.890 --> 01:01:39.630 align:center
Perhaps when we next see each other,

01:01:39.630 --> 01:01:41.730 align:center
we can pick up from where we left off.

01:01:41.730 --> 01:01:44.253 align:center
I do admit I did underestimate you, steward.

01:01:46.491 --> 01:01:49.341 align:center
But I still think you should be flogged for impertinence.

01:01:57.049 --> 01:02:00.299 align:center
(townsfolk chattering)

01:02:09.089 --> 01:02:13.110 align:center
(townsfolk chattering continues)

01:02:13.110 --> 01:02:16.499 align:center
It is not safe for you in Custennin's hall.

01:02:16.499 --> 01:02:18.894 align:center
There must be another way.

01:02:18.894 --> 01:02:21.811 align:center
(mysterious music)

01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:25.447 align:center
There is no other way.

01:02:30.329 --> 01:02:33.950 align:center
(anxious mysterious music)

01:02:33.950 --> 01:02:37.033 align:center
(footsteps clacking)

01:02:46.150 --> 01:02:50.500 align:center
(anxious mysterious music)

01:02:50.500 --> 01:02:53.000 align:center
(door creaks)

01:02:56.913 --> 01:03:00.246 align:center
(water trickles softly)

01:03:09.855 --> 01:03:12.355 align:center
(tense tones)

01:03:16.539 --> 01:03:20.290 align:center
(low, ominous music)

01:03:20.290 --> 01:03:22.790 align:center
(door creaks)

01:03:32.035 --> 01:03:35.118 align:center
(low, ominous music)

01:03:44.173 --> 01:03:46.523 align:center
I will set off at once for the Saecsens' camp.

01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:49.630 align:center
If that is what you wish.

01:03:51.082 --> 01:03:52.263 align:center
It is, Mother.

01:03:55.290 --> 01:03:56.123 align:center
Wait here.

01:03:58.752 --> 01:04:01.835 align:center
(low, anxious music)

01:04:05.752 --> 01:04:08.252 align:center
(door creaks)

01:04:11.561 --> 01:04:14.644 align:center
(footsteps clacking)

01:04:21.596 --> 01:04:22.429 align:center
A gift

01:04:24.041 --> 01:04:25.041 align:center
for Hengist.

01:04:34.075 --> 01:04:36.742 align:center
(anxious music)

01:04:41.253 --> 01:04:42.880 align:center
Safe travels, my son.

01:04:48.266 --> 01:04:51.349 align:center
(footsteps clacking)

01:04:54.778 --> 01:04:57.445 align:center
(anxious music)

01:05:04.693 --> 01:05:07.943 align:center
(ominous rising tones)

01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:43.257 align:center
(soft music)

01:06:44.233 --> 01:06:46.798 align:center
Our enemy grows stronger by the hour.

01:06:46.798 --> 01:06:48.420 align:center
(horn blares)

01:06:48.420 --> 01:06:51.213 align:center
Every day, more ships cross the sea.

01:06:52.530 --> 01:06:54.723 align:center
We are outmatched five to one.

01:06:56.773 --> 01:06:58.680 align:center
There is to be a new High King.

01:06:58.680 --> 01:07:01.293 align:center
They are the ones who would oppose the Saecsens now.

01:07:02.220 --> 01:07:04.980 align:center
How many men are left for them to call upon?

01:07:04.980 --> 01:07:07.080 align:center
Those boys are on their own.

01:07:07.080 --> 01:07:10.770 align:center
I will not send the sons of my Lords to die

01:07:10.770 --> 01:07:14.218 align:center
behind two undisciplined and untrained boys.

01:07:14.218 --> 01:07:16.020 align:center
(fighter roars)

01:07:16.020 --> 01:07:19.410 align:center
I have come to ask the northern Lords to join with them.

01:07:19.410 --> 01:07:22.110 align:center
Are you not the mighty Merlin,

01:07:22.110 --> 01:07:25.558 align:center
terrible to meet on the field of battle?

01:07:25.558 --> 01:07:27.725 align:center
I've seen what you can do.

01:07:28.573 --> 01:07:31.073 align:center
(tense tones)
