WEBVTT

00:00.326 --> 00:02.904
(rousing music)

00:02.904 --> 00:05.571
(battle raging)

00:07.450 --> 00:09.690
Vortigern is dead.

00:09.690 --> 00:13.110
No doubt Aurelius will claim the throne for himself.

00:13.110 --> 00:15.450
Aurelius's life is in danger

00:15.450 --> 00:17.940
until the kings of Britain recognize his claim.

00:17.940 --> 00:19.958
We're not exactly neck deep in volunteers.

00:19.958 --> 00:21.609
(suspenseful music)

00:21.609 --> 00:22.442
You will not be able

00:22.442 --> 00:24.540
to repel the barbarian on your own.

00:24.540 --> 00:27.570
700 men is not a man to many to face Hengist,

00:27.570 --> 00:29.130
and before the summer is through,

00:29.130 --> 00:32.640
he means to take the throne, and he will have it.

00:32.640 --> 00:34.980
If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves

00:34.980 --> 00:36.750
to take up arms against him.

00:36.750 --> 00:40.371
You could be a most valuable ally to Hengist.

00:40.371 --> 00:42.001
The Saecsen?

00:42.001 --> 00:45.090
They say Myrddin slew 70 men with his own hands

00:45.090 --> 00:46.740
within these very gates.

00:46.740 --> 00:48.900
At Goddeu, he slew 500.

00:48.900 --> 00:50.127
That the world burned

00:50.127 --> 00:52.649
and the ground trembled at his wrath.

00:52.649 --> 00:54.690
(Myrddin screaming)

00:54.690 --> 00:57.390
No man is capable of such a thing.

00:57.390 --> 00:59.010
No mortal man.

00:59.010 --> 01:01.369
He's nearly an otherworldly being.

01:01.369 --> 01:02.202
Morcant!

01:05.183 --> 01:07.650
There will be no victory

01:07.650 --> 01:09.570
without the kings of Britain by our side,

01:09.570 --> 01:12.110
without Merlin by our side.

01:12.110 --> 01:14.700
Pelleas and I ride north to Gothe,

01:14.700 --> 01:16.140
to ask Custennin to rule Kelithon.

01:16.140 --> 01:19.170
His Atlantian blood is strong, but we would--

01:19.170 --> 01:21.110
We would not be welcome there.

01:21.110 --> 01:24.822
If you return north, Custennin will kill you.

01:24.822 --> 01:27.655
There is no other way.

01:29.447 --> 01:32.864
(tranquil rousing music)

01:41.790 --> 01:44.540
(tranquil music)

01:51.971 --> 01:55.554
(tranquil music continues)

02:01.971 --> 02:05.554
(tranquil music continues)

02:11.969 --> 02:15.677
(tranquil music continues)

02:15.677 --> 02:19.812
Look up on me then, Shining Brow.

02:19.812 --> 02:21.508
(birds singing)

02:21.508 --> 02:25.591
They say you are amongst powerful of your people.

02:26.627 --> 02:29.157
Why did you allow

02:29.157 --> 02:32.074
one of their sacred stones to fall?

02:34.164 --> 02:36.500
Will you be the man to raise it?

02:36.500 --> 02:37.333
Hawk?

02:38.667 --> 02:41.417
(tranquil music)

02:45.891 --> 02:49.474
(tranquil music continues)

02:50.320 --> 02:53.320
(suspenseful music)

02:59.967 --> 03:03.800
(suspenseful music continues)

03:09.947 --> 03:13.780
(suspenseful music continues)

03:16.405 --> 03:19.155
(staff thumping)

03:24.418 --> 03:27.168
(tranquil music)

03:30.080 --> 03:30.933
My brothers,

03:32.850 --> 03:35.103
I greet you in the name of the Great Light,

03:36.150 --> 03:40.173
whose coming was foretold within this sacred ring.

03:42.072 --> 03:44.739
(men murmuring)

03:47.370 --> 03:48.663
You resent my greeting.

03:49.830 --> 03:50.663
Why?

03:53.610 --> 03:55.710
If my brothers are silent,

03:55.710 --> 03:58.770
perhaps it is because they're no longer certain who it is

03:58.770 --> 04:01.420
that addresses them as Archdruid of the sacred grove.

04:02.580 --> 04:04.110
Who says these things?

04:04.110 --> 04:06.240
We've heard it said that you have left the old ways

04:06.240 --> 04:08.583
to follow a new god, a foreign god.

04:10.740 --> 04:14.160
From ancient days, we have sought knowledge

04:14.160 --> 04:16.080
so that we might learn the truth of all things.

04:16.080 --> 04:17.103
Is this not so?

04:18.150 --> 04:19.290
It is.

04:19.290 --> 04:22.170
Then how should we be slow to grasp the truth

04:22.170 --> 04:24.120
when it is proclaimed before us?

04:24.120 --> 04:26.193
We know many truths, Master.

04:27.240 --> 04:28.950
Which truth is proclaimed this day?

04:28.950 --> 04:30.093
The Final Truth.

04:31.050 --> 04:35.883
Then you have become a follower of this Jesu?

04:37.380 --> 04:42.380
He is the Great Light of whom our forebears spoke.

04:42.630 --> 04:45.270
He is the one we have always sought to find,

04:45.270 --> 04:47.040
and worshiped unknowingly.

04:47.040 --> 04:50.220
And it is his priests who cut down our groves,

04:50.220 --> 04:52.050
toppled our ancient places.

04:52.050 --> 04:56.193
Men act in ignorance, yet the truth remains.

04:57.540 --> 05:00.090
We all know from whence these ideas came.

05:00.090 --> 05:03.960
We all know who it was who led the great Hafgan astray.

05:03.960 --> 05:06.705
Taliesin was the greatest bard who ever lived.

05:06.705 --> 05:08.070
He betrayed our Brotherhood.

05:08.070 --> 05:10.440
He gave our Brotherhood its greatest vision.

05:10.440 --> 05:12.810
Lies.
You do not deserve truth.

05:12.810 --> 05:13.860
Sacrilege!

05:13.860 --> 05:14.814
(men murmuring)

05:14.814 --> 05:17.364
How is this?
Betrayal.

05:17.364 --> 05:18.960
(suspenseful music)

05:18.960 --> 05:21.570
No one may set their foot on the sacred seat.

05:21.570 --> 05:23.010
Utter blasphemy,

05:23.010 --> 05:24.732
Not even the Archdruid himself.

05:24.732 --> 05:26.565
Punishable by death.

05:27.674 --> 05:28.917
(rousing music)

05:28.917 --> 05:30.104
(boulder creaking)

05:30.104 --> 05:32.160
(men murmuring)

05:32.160 --> 05:35.160
(suspenseful music)

05:41.567 --> 05:44.940
Servants of the truth, hear me.

05:44.940 --> 05:47.010
Why do you wonder that the wisest among you

05:47.010 --> 05:49.620
should greet you in the name of Jesu,

05:49.620 --> 05:53.010
the one who called Himself the Way and the Truth?

05:53.010 --> 05:56.370
How is it that you, who seek the truth in all ways,

05:56.370 --> 05:58.080
should be blind to it now?

05:58.080 --> 06:00.787
You believe this grove is sacred,

06:00.787 --> 06:02.880
(boulder cracking)

06:02.880 --> 06:04.167
these stones,

06:04.167 --> 06:05.302
(boulder cracking)

06:05.302 --> 06:08.610
the new ways, the old?

06:08.610 --> 06:12.930
I say He who created the stones and the trees is greater,

06:12.930 --> 06:14.665
as are His ways.

06:14.665 --> 06:17.332
(men murmuring)

06:19.688 --> 06:22.008
Enough, Myrddin.

06:22.008 --> 06:22.841
Myrddin,

06:25.168 --> 06:26.750
enough!

06:26.750 --> 06:28.737
(boulders thumping)

06:28.737 --> 06:30.365
Merlin!

06:30.365 --> 06:33.032
(ominous music)

06:36.801 --> 06:39.468
(rousing music)

06:46.985 --> 06:50.485
(rousing music continues)

06:56.996 --> 07:00.496
(rousing music continues)

07:07.033 --> 07:10.533
(rousing music continues)

07:16.955 --> 07:20.455
(rousing music continues)

07:26.988 --> 07:30.488
(rousing music continues)

07:36.975 --> 07:40.475
(rousing music continues)

07:46.993 --> 07:50.493
(rousing music continues)

07:57.018 --> 08:00.518
(rousing music continues)

08:07.002 --> 08:10.502
(rousing music continues)

08:16.805 --> 08:19.722
(leaves crackling)

08:21.502 --> 08:24.252
(stick scraping)

08:26.961 --> 08:29.628
(birds singing)

08:32.850 --> 08:33.930
King Tewdrig's steward

08:33.930 --> 08:36.870
gave me a pick of the kitchen before we left.

08:36.870 --> 08:41.870
We have some raw onions, raw parsnips, raw leeks,

08:42.810 --> 08:45.633
cheese, carrots,

08:48.684 --> 08:49.517
also raw.

08:51.907 --> 08:53.787
Barley bread.

08:53.787 --> 08:57.132
Oh, and plenty of plums to help digest it all.

08:57.132 --> 08:59.882
(fire crackling)

09:02.700 --> 09:04.000
You've been here before?

09:05.220 --> 09:06.053
Once,

09:08.280 --> 09:09.113
long ago.

09:13.590 --> 09:16.190
We must be alert as we're near Custennin's border.

09:18.690 --> 09:20.130
You know as well as anyone alive

09:20.130 --> 09:22.029
what grief can do to a man.

09:22.029 --> 09:25.980
(tranquil somber music)

09:25.980 --> 09:26.813
Yes,

09:27.998 --> 09:29.248
I suppose I do.

09:30.280 --> 09:32.110
(rousing music)

09:32.110 --> 09:35.027
(seagulls calling)

09:41.997 --> 09:45.497
(rousing music continues)

09:54.523 --> 09:56.690
(weapons clattering)

09:56.690 --> 09:59.607
(Uther exclaiming)

10:02.200 --> 10:03.390
The gods take you, Aurelius.

10:03.390 --> 10:05.070
I might have killed you.

10:05.070 --> 10:06.720
Counting like that, I think the whole Saecsen army

10:06.720 --> 10:07.970
could've crept up on you.

10:09.996 --> 10:12.663
(both groaning)

10:13.894 --> 10:16.740
I should knock you on your kingly arse.

10:16.740 --> 10:19.590
See, the perfect return.

10:19.590 --> 10:22.482
Hale and whole, and free from enchantment.

10:22.482 --> 10:23.315
Aye.

10:28.560 --> 10:29.880
How many?

10:29.880 --> 10:31.037
More than 10,000.

10:35.787 --> 10:37.563
But your meddler came through.

10:38.760 --> 10:40.160
Men of the west are with us.

10:42.210 --> 10:43.910
I saw them in camp this morning.

10:44.790 --> 10:45.990
Brave hearts, every one.

10:49.800 --> 10:50.900
I was hoping for more.

10:52.064 --> 10:52.897
Aye.

10:54.420 --> 10:56.160
They fight mounted.

10:56.160 --> 10:56.993
One of their warriors

10:56.993 --> 10:58.970
is worth at least three Saecsen on foot.

11:03.540 --> 11:04.793
And where does that leave us?

11:09.113 --> 11:10.988
I was hoping for more.

11:10.988 --> 11:13.655
(rousing music)

11:20.964 --> 11:24.464
(rousing music continues)

11:27.667 --> 11:30.500
(horses neighing)

11:35.326 --> 11:38.826
(rousing music continues)

11:41.370 --> 11:43.710
We have come from King Loth of Orcady,

11:43.710 --> 11:45.235
ally to the great Hengist.

11:45.235 --> 11:47.849
(suspenseful music)

11:47.849 --> 11:50.516
(men murmuring)

11:53.301 --> 11:54.636
(eerie music)

11:54.636 --> 11:57.886
(hammer striking iron)

12:02.065 --> 12:04.732
(men murmuring)

12:11.939 --> 12:15.272
(eerie music continues)

12:21.946 --> 12:24.613
(goat bleating)

12:27.075 --> 12:29.825
(blade slashing)

12:33.551 --> 12:36.551
(suspenseful music)

12:37.513 --> 12:40.500
The gods have willed that they will fight for us.

12:40.500 --> 12:43.083
(men cheering)

12:48.210 --> 12:51.003
It is fortunate for you that you have, too.

12:53.070 --> 12:54.120
My Lord Hengist.

12:54.120 --> 12:55.680
He's not a Lord.

12:55.680 --> 12:58.623
He's bretwalda, Lord of all Lords.

13:00.180 --> 13:03.700
Bretwalda, I have come bearing gifts

13:07.410 --> 13:09.033
from my father, King Loth,

13:11.940 --> 13:12.843
and his wife.

13:15.151 --> 13:17.043
(contents clattering)

13:17.043 --> 13:19.710
(flies buzzing)

13:25.200 --> 13:28.950
My thanks to your father and mother.

13:28.950 --> 13:30.950
The Lady Morgian is no mother of mine.

13:34.230 --> 13:36.600
Not the witch's flesh and blood?

13:36.600 --> 13:39.480
Be careful, boy.

13:39.480 --> 13:42.123
You do not want to outlive your usefulness to her,

13:44.130 --> 13:44.963
or me.

13:46.493 --> 13:49.160
(ominous music)

13:54.451 --> 13:57.451
(suspenseful music)

14:04.508 --> 14:08.341
(suspenseful music continues)

14:14.450 --> 14:18.283
(suspenseful music continues)

14:19.604 --> 14:22.354
(tranquil music)

14:29.968 --> 14:33.551
(tranquil music continues)

14:36.477 --> 14:39.537
By Zeus and Lleu, I'm glad you're back.

14:39.537 --> 14:40.710
It's been a titan's task

14:40.710 --> 14:43.930
trying to keep these bastards from killing each other.

14:43.930 --> 14:46.803
Brigantes, Demetae, Pagans,

14:47.850 --> 14:49.293
Mithras-worshippers,

14:51.690 --> 14:52.523
Christians.

14:55.200 --> 14:57.306
There'll be plenty of killing soon enough.

14:57.306 --> 14:58.620
Aye.

14:58.620 --> 15:00.940
Just imagine the glory we'll earn.

15:02.040 --> 15:06.693
Whatever glory there is in slaughter, I've had my fill.

15:09.240 --> 15:10.743
Whose words are these?

15:11.640 --> 15:14.400
(men murmuring)

15:14.400 --> 15:16.978
I learned much while I was at Ynys Avallach.

15:16.978 --> 15:17.940
Of course you did.

15:17.940 --> 15:19.710
I spoke with the Fisher King.

15:19.710 --> 15:23.310
He told me of the Westernland from where the Faer Folk came.

15:23.310 --> 15:25.260
He told me of his realm, and the thousand years of peace,

15:25.260 --> 15:27.000
and how war amongst their kings

15:27.000 --> 15:28.500
nearly destroyed their people.

15:31.230 --> 15:35.220
They spin tales like old women spin flax threads, brother.

15:35.220 --> 15:39.543
King-making requires blood and sweat.

15:40.701 --> 15:43.825
You know this, brother.

15:43.825 --> 15:45.742
I learned more there.

15:48.578 --> 15:50.028
I learned of Jesu the Christ,

15:53.220 --> 15:54.770
and I have become his follower.

15:58.170 --> 15:59.270
What does it matter?

16:00.450 --> 16:01.353
Take a new god.

16:02.550 --> 16:04.937
Take a dozen for all I care.

16:04.937 --> 16:06.570
Better our chances.

16:06.570 --> 16:08.706
It is more than that, Uther.

16:08.706 --> 16:10.080
I have seen what the Fisher King and his people

16:10.080 --> 16:11.520
have done for the weak and the suffering.

16:11.520 --> 16:12.510
I have seen their mercy,

16:12.510 --> 16:14.460
and it is stronger than the strength of armies.

16:14.460 --> 16:16.500
It is the future of Britain,

16:16.500 --> 16:18.033
and it must be our future too.

16:23.490 --> 16:24.840
Are you out of your mind?

16:26.795 --> 16:29.545
(Uther laughing)

16:31.046 --> 16:35.379
Uther, I brought Brother Aaron from Ynys Avallach.

16:36.810 --> 16:39.390
He's come to instruct you in the catechism of the church,

16:39.390 --> 16:41.440
and baptize you in the name of Lord Jesu.

16:48.420 --> 16:49.253
Baptize me?

16:52.380 --> 16:56.163
Brother, I will do anything for you.

16:57.960 --> 17:02.313
I will lead your warhost, I will kill your enemies,

17:04.590 --> 17:06.540
I will bend the knee and call you King,

17:08.877 --> 17:12.933
but please, do not ask me to do this.

17:19.620 --> 17:20.453
Look at them.

17:21.360 --> 17:23.313
Boys playing the game of kings.

17:24.570 --> 17:28.533
They've played it well, as Vortigern can attest.

17:29.460 --> 17:31.590
They may have rooted out that usurper

17:31.590 --> 17:34.050
and settled their blood debt,

17:34.050 --> 17:38.010
but that does not make Aurelius my High King.

17:38.010 --> 17:39.840
Careful now, my friend.

17:39.840 --> 17:41.400
There are some who would misunderstand

17:41.400 --> 17:43.560
and consider those words as treasonous,

17:43.560 --> 17:45.603
especially now Saecsen host draws nigh.

17:46.680 --> 17:49.049
I know you too well, Morcant,

17:49.049 --> 17:52.053
to believe you're willing to bend your knee for any man.

17:53.160 --> 17:55.990
What webs are you weaving in that spider's mind?

17:55.990 --> 17:58.950
(Morcant laughing)

17:58.950 --> 18:00.480
The brothers defeated Vortigern

18:00.480 --> 18:02.613
with the help of their kinsman's army,

18:03.480 --> 18:05.883
an army that, even now, sails for Armorica.

18:06.840 --> 18:09.093
How many men are left for them to call upon?

18:10.680 --> 18:11.880
200?

18:11.880 --> 18:14.040
And you will openly move against them?

18:14.040 --> 18:15.290
With the Saecsens marching against us?

18:15.290 --> 18:16.590
Do you take me for a fool?

18:20.220 --> 18:24.520
But who is to say on the day of battle

18:25.920 --> 18:28.950
whether they're the ones to lead us to victory

18:28.950 --> 18:30.603
and gain the glory?

18:31.680 --> 18:35.463
They say they have the Emrys with them.

18:36.600 --> 18:41.160
Aye, and Magnus Maximus, Taliesin,

18:41.160 --> 18:42.573
Blessed Bran himself.

18:45.000 --> 18:47.493
I've met this so-called Emrys of theirs.

18:48.895 --> 18:49.728
And?

18:51.870 --> 18:56.620
The Merlin died long before you and I were born, Dunaut,

18:57.857 --> 18:59.274
if he ever lived.

19:02.294 --> 19:03.127
No.

19:04.110 --> 19:05.613
Those boys are on their own.

19:07.393 --> 19:10.060
(both scoffing)

19:11.729 --> 19:15.146
(rousing tranquil music)

19:18.419 --> 19:21.252
(hooves thumping)

19:28.525 --> 19:32.775
(rousing tranquil music continues)

19:38.489 --> 19:42.739
(rousing tranquil music continues)

19:49.009 --> 19:53.259
(rousing tranquil music continues)

19:54.976 --> 19:57.643
(men murmuring)

20:03.660 --> 20:04.493
I'm fine.

20:07.470 --> 20:08.463
Truly, mother.

20:10.560 --> 20:12.810
You should eat something for your strength.

20:13.716 --> 20:16.383
(men murmuring)

20:22.980 --> 20:25.443
He's been divided in his heart for a long time.

20:26.910 --> 20:31.053
I think, now that it is over, he finally feels free.

20:32.250 --> 20:33.690
Divided?

20:33.690 --> 20:35.430
Between Jesu and the old gods.

20:35.430 --> 20:37.110
But how can he be happy?

20:37.110 --> 20:39.813
The Brotherhood still refused to believe, even after.

20:40.920 --> 20:42.645
Not every man will choose to believe

20:42.645 --> 20:45.270
and follow the light, my little Hawk.

20:45.270 --> 20:48.243
Dead men rise and stones dance in the air,

20:49.770 --> 20:53.100
and nothing you or anyone else can do will change that.

20:53.100 --> 20:55.050
Daylight is waning, Merlin.

20:59.400 --> 21:00.233
Go.

21:07.382 --> 21:10.799
(rousing tranquil music)

21:17.002 --> 21:20.946
(rousing tranquil music continues)

21:20.946 --> 21:24.852
(Merlin making sound effects)

21:24.852 --> 21:26.430
What kind of man is this?

21:26.430 --> 21:29.470
Who can stand against such power?

21:29.470 --> 21:33.352
Behold! I am Myrddin ap Taliesin,

21:33.352 --> 21:36.476
son of the greatest Druid who ever lived,

21:36.476 --> 21:40.277
Prince of Ynys Avallach, and the Champion of Summer--

21:40.277 --> 21:42.860
(wind howling)

21:48.468 --> 21:51.242
(Myrrdin gasping)

21:51.242 --> 21:53.742
(eerie music)

22:00.473 --> 22:03.056
(wind howling)

22:10.516 --> 22:13.933
(wind continues howling)

22:15.736 --> 22:18.236
(eerie music)

22:22.049 --> 22:25.466
(wind continues howling)

22:26.978 --> 22:27.811
Mother!

22:30.697 --> 22:31.530
Hafgan!

22:32.718 --> 22:35.218
(eerie music)

22:39.455 --> 22:40.288
Mother!

22:41.835 --> 22:42.668
Hafgan!

22:47.841 --> 22:50.341
(eerie music)

22:52.000 --> 22:55.917
(indistinct voices whispering)

22:57.907 --> 23:00.483
(suspenseful music)

23:00.483 --> 23:04.233
(voices continue whispering)

23:11.003 --> 23:14.753
(voices continue whispering)

23:21.318 --> 23:25.068
(voices continue whispering)

23:29.222 --> 23:30.055
Heel.

23:30.955 --> 23:34.203
(suspenseful music)

23:34.203 --> 23:35.521
What are you doing?

23:35.521 --> 23:38.106
Where are you taking me?

23:38.106 --> 23:39.743
Let me go.

23:39.743 --> 23:42.248
(suspenseful music)

23:42.248 --> 23:45.998
(voices continue whispering)

23:48.924 --> 23:52.674
(voices continue whispering)

23:54.470 --> 23:58.887
(woman speaking in foreign language)

24:03.181 --> 24:08.181
(woman continues speaking in foreign language)

24:15.153 --> 24:18.903
(voices continue whispering)

24:20.400 --> 24:23.400
(suspenseful music)

24:30.995 --> 24:34.828
(suspenseful music continues)

24:40.990 --> 24:44.823
(suspenseful music continues)

24:48.511 --> 24:52.344
(suspenseful music continues)

24:58.483 --> 25:02.316
(suspenseful music continues)

25:09.353 --> 25:12.103
(wind whooshing)

25:19.478 --> 25:23.061
(wind continues whooshing)

25:24.282 --> 25:27.032
(tranquil music)

25:34.481 --> 25:38.064
(tranquil music continues)

25:43.055 --> 25:46.638
(tranquil music continues)

25:50.484 --> 25:51.317
(suspenseful music)

25:51.317 --> 25:53.178
What are you doing?

25:53.178 --> 25:54.261
Let go of me!

25:55.636 --> 26:00.053
(tribe chanting in foreign language)

26:02.789 --> 26:04.860
He that lives under the help of the Most High

26:04.860 --> 26:07.424
will dwell under the shadow of the Almighty.

26:07.424 --> 26:11.393
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

26:11.393 --> 26:13.259
my God in whom I trust."

26:13.259 --> 26:14.667
Great Light!

26:14.667 --> 26:16.192
(thunder cracking)

26:16.192 --> 26:19.534
(woman agonizing)

26:19.534 --> 26:22.284
(all exclaiming)

26:29.723 --> 26:30.918
(woman speaking in foreign language)

26:30.918 --> 26:33.918
(suspenseful music)

26:39.930 --> 26:42.597
(rousing music)

26:49.695 --> 26:52.445
(wind whooshing)

26:57.602 --> 27:00.435
(hooves thumping)

27:01.800 --> 27:05.030
I spent six winters with a Hill Folk of the Hawk Fhain,

27:06.210 --> 27:08.523
learning the ways of Earth's first children.

27:11.400 --> 27:14.190
When I eventually mastered their tongue,

27:14.190 --> 27:16.290
they told me of a cloud shaped like a hand

27:16.290 --> 27:17.440
that stopped the blade.

27:19.674 --> 27:22.115
At first, I looked to make myself escape.

27:22.115 --> 27:24.660
(tranquil music)

27:24.660 --> 27:25.983
In time, however,

27:28.350 --> 27:30.390
I began to sense a purpose at work

27:30.390 --> 27:31.743
in my presence among them,

27:34.110 --> 27:38.163
a purpose that would eventually make itself known.

27:43.568 --> 27:46.985
(tranquil rousing music)

27:51.130 --> 27:55.380
(tranquil rousing music continues)

27:56.340 --> 27:58.620
We should send an emissary east.

27:58.620 --> 28:00.510
Only the Legions can defeat such a force.

28:00.510 --> 28:02.043
There are no Legions,

28:03.030 --> 28:04.710
scarcely even a Rome.

28:04.710 --> 28:07.350
Vortigern invited this doom upon us.

28:07.350 --> 28:11.220
And yet, the Saecsens stayed in their land

28:11.220 --> 28:12.993
and honored their treaty with him,

28:15.330 --> 28:17.160
until he was killed.

28:17.160 --> 28:20.253
The Saecsen will honor a treaty while it suits him.

28:21.300 --> 28:23.310
Whether Vortigern had lived or not,

28:23.310 --> 28:25.523
they would've turned their eyes to us eventually.

28:28.620 --> 28:30.037
King Gorlas?

28:30.037 --> 28:33.093
Vortigern is gone, Rome is gone.

28:34.050 --> 28:35.733
The Saecsen is here.

28:36.990 --> 28:38.400
What more is there to say?

28:38.400 --> 28:40.077
Then the Cornovii will fight?

28:40.077 --> 28:40.910
Aye.

28:40.910 --> 28:42.660
But who will lead the fight?

28:42.660 --> 28:45.030
My brother is High King.

28:45.030 --> 28:47.793
Your brother commands no army of his own.

28:49.530 --> 28:52.890
We men of the West recognize Aurelius

28:52.890 --> 28:56.430
as the lawful High King, and we offer him our armies,

28:56.430 --> 28:58.230
every horse, spearman and archer.

28:58.230 --> 29:01.320
We all acknowledge Aurelius's claim.

29:01.320 --> 29:02.160
High King he may be--

29:02.160 --> 29:02.993
May be?

29:04.860 --> 29:07.383
But leading an army requires training,

29:09.030 --> 29:10.620
skill.

29:10.620 --> 29:11.763
You bastard.

29:14.670 --> 29:18.120
I have named my brother the Dux Britanniarum,

29:18.120 --> 29:20.490
Battle Chief of all the armies of The Island of the Mighty.

29:20.490 --> 29:22.740
Well, there has not been a Dux Britanniarum

29:24.210 --> 29:26.160
since Maximus marched to Rome

29:26.160 --> 29:27.510
And yet there is one now.

29:29.130 --> 29:31.500
Uther is unmatched on the battlefield,

29:31.500 --> 29:32.823
and is a keen strategist,

29:34.380 --> 29:36.230
as I believe you yourself can attest.

29:37.620 --> 29:40.320
The Cornovii swore no oath to you as High King.

29:40.320 --> 29:42.570
You swore an oath to our father.

29:42.570 --> 29:44.223
Your father is dead.

29:45.480 --> 29:48.273
You ask my opinion, I give it now.

29:49.560 --> 29:53.610
Your father did nothing to make us stronger.

29:53.610 --> 29:57.030
He took more from our harvest than any Saecsen raider.

29:57.030 --> 30:01.050
And Vortigern, he sold us to the barbarians,

30:01.050 --> 30:04.650
and betrayed our brothers at the Treason of the Long Knives.

30:04.650 --> 30:07.680
While you cowered behind your walls.

30:07.680 --> 30:10.140
I will not suffer insult

30:10.140 --> 30:12.780
from a half-Saecsen bastard boy,

30:12.780 --> 30:15.480
no matter who your father was!

30:15.480 --> 30:17.283
I will fight the barbarians,

30:18.450 --> 30:20.643
but I've had enough of High Kings.

30:24.881 --> 30:27.714
(Morcant tisking)

30:36.480 --> 30:38.250
You've spoken many words in haste,

30:38.250 --> 30:40.860
some not so easily retracted.

30:40.860 --> 30:43.740
And you are not my tutor that I would be schooled.

30:43.740 --> 30:46.080
Do you not realize the damage you just caused?

30:46.080 --> 30:47.760
Do you not realize those vipers

30:47.760 --> 30:49.263
are openly moving against you?

30:50.100 --> 30:51.810
If you give 'em the right name the Dux,

30:51.810 --> 30:53.610
you might as well give them your crown.

30:53.610 --> 30:56.253
I have no crown, I have no kingdom,

30:57.270 --> 30:58.380
and if we do not stop the Saecsen,

30:58.380 --> 30:59.730
I won't even have a people.

31:04.650 --> 31:06.750
How many men does Gorlas command?

31:06.750 --> 31:09.544
420 from Dummonia.

31:09.544 --> 31:10.794
A quarter of our force.

31:13.710 --> 31:14.543
Thank you.

31:21.603 --> 31:25.020
You told me earlier you'd do anything I asked of you,

31:25.020 --> 31:28.863
you'd kill my enemies, bend the knee.

31:32.430 --> 31:33.980
You have but to say the word.

31:37.140 --> 31:38.626
I want you to find Gorlas

31:38.626 --> 31:39.720
and make amends.
Aurelius.

31:39.720 --> 31:42.517
I've told you what needs to be done, Uther.

31:42.517 --> 31:44.017
Now, go and do it.

31:46.419 --> 31:49.002
(Uther scoffs)

31:51.744 --> 31:54.411
(men murmuring)

31:59.592 --> 32:00.425
Gorlas!

32:01.350 --> 32:03.393
My Lord, you cannot enter.

32:09.840 --> 32:11.590
Gorlas, I came to--

32:13.072 --> 32:14.322
Give good word.

32:19.037 --> 32:21.810
I give you good greetings, My Lord.

32:23.854 --> 32:24.687
Uther.

32:32.692 --> 32:34.525
Is King Gorlas here?

32:35.970 --> 32:37.350
He will return presently.

32:37.350 --> 32:39.600
Perhaps you would like to sit while you wait.

32:43.200 --> 32:45.293
Would you care for a drink as well, Lord Uther?

32:46.530 --> 32:47.363
Yes, please.

32:50.733 --> 32:53.400
(drink pouring)

32:55.305 --> 32:56.700
The Cornovii are not famed for their wine,

32:56.700 --> 32:59.617
but I hope you'll find it pleasing.

33:13.620 --> 33:15.933
You must be one of Lord Aurelius's men.

33:17.490 --> 33:18.510
Are you from Armorica, then?

33:18.510 --> 33:20.730
I've heard it is a beautiful land

33:20.730 --> 33:23.133
full of apple trees and white cliffs.

33:25.223 --> 33:27.340
Aye, it is.

33:32.989 --> 33:37.230
The forests there are big and full of game.

33:37.230 --> 33:39.543
Fields perfect for tilling crops.

33:41.490 --> 33:43.803
But no country is as beautiful as this one.

33:50.520 --> 33:52.320
I'm afraid I didn't catch your name.

33:53.565 --> 33:54.398
Ygerna!

33:57.860 --> 33:59.370
By Christ and his saints.

33:59.370 --> 34:00.203
Father.

34:00.203 --> 34:02.040
Does your offense know no bounds?

34:02.040 --> 34:05.370
Perhaps across the sea in the Roman war camps,

34:05.370 --> 34:07.710
they taught you to prey on the young and naive.

34:07.710 --> 34:09.720
Lord Uther sought you, Father.

34:09.720 --> 34:11.220
I was merely extending him your courtesy

34:11.220 --> 34:12.670
while we awaited your return.

34:15.360 --> 34:16.470
Then speak, boy.

34:17.665 --> 34:19.805
(tranquil music)

34:19.805 --> 34:21.805
What do you have to say?

34:25.452 --> 34:28.869
(tranquil rousing music)

34:35.506 --> 34:39.756
(tranquil rousing music continues)

34:45.522 --> 34:49.320
(tranquil rousing music continues)

34:49.320 --> 34:52.061
(thunder rumbling)

34:52.061 --> 34:54.644
(door heaving)

34:55.773 --> 34:58.773
(hooves clattering)

35:03.241 --> 35:05.741
(eerie music)

35:12.962 --> 35:16.536
(eerie music continues)

35:16.536 --> 35:19.786
(footsteps clattering)

35:23.030 --> 35:26.363
(eerie music continues)

35:33.052 --> 35:35.966
(eerie music continues)

35:35.966 --> 35:38.549
(dog growling)

35:40.200 --> 35:42.150
Your journey was long.

35:42.150 --> 35:43.953
I came from Ynys Avallach.

35:45.067 --> 35:47.133
The road has fallen much from disuse.

35:50.520 --> 35:52.413
I was not speaking of the miles.

35:57.390 --> 36:00.810
Your hall has changed little these past 50 years.

36:00.810 --> 36:05.280
Did you think to find so different, Myrddin Wilt?

36:05.280 --> 36:06.843
We do not forget who we are,

36:10.650 --> 36:12.333
or what has been done to us.

36:15.521 --> 36:17.997
Vortigern is dead.

36:17.997 --> 36:20.550
The Saecsens overrun the Eastern shore,

36:20.550 --> 36:23.040
and the kings of Britain rally to oppose them.

36:23.040 --> 36:25.140
The kings of the South are fat and lazy.

36:26.880 --> 36:29.220
If they lived beyond the wall,

36:29.220 --> 36:31.653
fighting Picti and Irish every summer,

36:33.360 --> 36:35.460
they would never have allowed the barbarian

36:35.460 --> 36:37.110
a foothold in this land.

36:37.110 --> 36:41.343
And yet, what the barbarian has taken can be won back.

36:43.590 --> 36:47.617
There is to be a new High King, son of Constans.

36:47.617 --> 36:49.743
Or rather, two sons,

36:50.850 --> 36:55.200
one to rule and one to lead the warhost as Dux.

36:55.200 --> 36:59.040
It is they who have rallied the kings of the South and West.

36:59.040 --> 37:01.683
They are the ones who would oppose the Saecsens now.

37:03.900 --> 37:06.933
I have come to ask the northern lords to join with them.

37:13.740 --> 37:15.723
You enter my home once again,

37:18.261 --> 37:20.550
and the first words out of your mouth

37:22.170 --> 37:24.033
are to ask me for this?

37:25.530 --> 37:27.990
The brothers have named me their high counselor.

37:27.990 --> 37:30.210
They have asked me to raise an army.

37:30.210 --> 37:34.080
You know of what I speak.

37:34.080 --> 37:38.640
50 years and never once a word.

37:38.640 --> 37:40.660
50 years

37:42.300 --> 37:46.383
and not so much as a thought for those left behind.

37:47.580 --> 37:49.923
If there is such need,

37:50.910 --> 37:52.833
why do you not go yourself, eh?

37:54.900 --> 37:59.900
Join the fight, ride forth against the barbarian,

38:00.120 --> 38:03.660
and lead your High King to his victory.

38:03.660 --> 38:05.067
I cannot.
You cannot?

38:05.067 --> 38:06.910
And what prevents you, eh?

38:07.874 --> 38:10.527
(tranquil somber music)

38:10.527 --> 38:12.930
Are you not strong enough?

38:12.930 --> 38:16.023
Are you not the mighty Merlin,

38:17.190 --> 38:20.689
terrible to meet on the field of battle?

38:20.689 --> 38:21.912
You know I cannot.

38:21.912 --> 38:24.245
I've seen what you can do.

38:26.016 --> 38:29.290
Why don't you summon the battle-awen, hey?

38:30.213 --> 38:32.760
Then you can single-handedly

38:32.760 --> 38:36.120
slaughter the entire Saecsen host,

38:36.120 --> 38:38.152
until the blood soaks the earth.

38:38.152 --> 38:39.313
You know I cannot.

38:39.313 --> 38:41.820
What I know is this.

38:41.820 --> 38:43.860
You parade yourself as a prophet,

38:43.860 --> 38:47.580
a warrior-bard, a champion of light.

38:47.580 --> 38:49.533
Yet when the day of trouble comes,

38:52.410 --> 38:55.571
you cannot even save those who trust you most.

38:55.571 --> 38:56.743
(weapons scraping)

38:56.743 --> 38:59.410
(magic humming)

39:03.385 --> 39:06.135
(tranquil music)

39:07.885 --> 39:10.552
(magic humming)

39:18.900 --> 39:21.064
(cheerful music)

39:21.064 --> 39:23.611
(men chattering)

39:23.611 --> 39:26.444
(dice clattering)

39:29.691 --> 39:32.388
(Uther exclaiming)

39:32.388 --> 39:35.527
The gods favor me tonight, lads.

39:35.527 --> 39:36.860
Sorry for you.

39:36.860 --> 39:39.743
Hopefully they're equally as generous in the sack tonight.

39:43.920 --> 39:45.620
I send you to speak on my behalf

39:46.631 --> 39:49.410
and I find you here playing games.

39:49.410 --> 39:50.243
Boys,

39:51.270 --> 39:54.120
I heard rumor there was an alehouse the next valley over.

39:55.050 --> 39:57.055
Fetch us a barrel or two, yeah?

39:57.055 --> 39:59.070
(men laughing)

39:59.070 --> 39:59.903
Wow.

40:05.669 --> 40:08.336
(drink pouring)

40:10.650 --> 40:13.073
You have much to learn about fighting men, brother.

40:14.220 --> 40:16.383
And your lord asked you a question.

40:18.030 --> 40:20.943
Then my lord should use his wits.

40:25.260 --> 40:26.883
What do you see there, brother?

40:27.926 --> 40:31.380
(men chattering)

40:31.380 --> 40:33.360
Half those tribe hate each other,

40:33.360 --> 40:36.303
but tonight, they think they're brothers,

40:37.950 --> 40:40.263
and they all stand united behind you.

40:43.440 --> 40:44.373
So you're welcome.

40:48.780 --> 40:49.980
And is Gorlas behind me?

40:53.176 --> 40:56.705
I prepared my speech like you asked.

40:56.705 --> 40:58.122
And?

41:01.347 --> 41:03.309
And it went poorly.

41:03.309 --> 41:04.500
By the bones of our father!

41:04.500 --> 41:06.630
I give you one single task.

41:06.630 --> 41:07.463
How?

41:08.788 --> 41:12.121
(tranquil somber music)

41:21.267 --> 41:22.953
He's an arrogant old fool.

41:24.120 --> 41:26.070
That arrogant old fool

41:26.070 --> 41:28.620
is the most respected fighter in this camp.

41:28.620 --> 41:31.320
He has faced the Saecsens before and won.

41:31.320 --> 41:32.460
Raiding parties.

41:32.460 --> 41:33.960
Which is more you have done.

41:34.860 --> 41:38.280
Oh, I don't question your skill and bravery in battle,

41:38.280 --> 41:39.453
but the other kings do.

41:41.490 --> 41:43.890
And if Gorlas withdraws his warband,

41:43.890 --> 41:46.087
they will most certainly follow.

41:52.067 --> 41:54.903
(tranquil somber music)

41:54.903 --> 41:58.743
We cannot let our forces be divided, not even by one man.

42:00.000 --> 42:02.950
If we do, the enemy will prevail

42:05.130 --> 42:06.330
and Britain will be lost

42:09.540 --> 42:10.987
without even a fight.

42:13.189 --> 42:14.022
Aye.

42:14.930 --> 42:15.763
Aye.

42:24.360 --> 42:26.883
Not exactly the reception you were hoping for.

42:28.110 --> 42:30.460
It was exactly the reception I was expecting.

42:32.370 --> 42:35.003
Forgive me then, my lord, but why did we come here?

42:36.180 --> 42:37.780
I must go back the way I came,

42:38.910 --> 42:40.533
all the way to the beginning.

42:43.110 --> 42:45.150
Without the North, the kings of Britain

42:45.150 --> 42:47.350
are not strong enough to repel the invaders.

42:50.850 --> 42:55.050
Even you may struggle to persuade a king who hates you,

42:55.050 --> 42:55.883
who blames you for--

42:55.883 --> 42:58.470
I know what he blames me for.

42:58.470 --> 43:00.713
Then you know how hard this is going to be.

43:04.110 --> 43:05.560
And you may not have noticed,

43:06.690 --> 43:08.723
but we are currently locked in a dungeon.

43:10.860 --> 43:12.003
I had noticed.

43:18.870 --> 43:22.563
Custennin's anger is fierce, but it will pass.

43:23.940 --> 43:25.080
We were bound together once.

43:25.080 --> 43:26.463
That bond will not fail.

43:27.300 --> 43:28.863
He is still the man I knew.

43:29.970 --> 43:30.933
Are you certain?

43:33.174 --> 43:37.174
(Myrddin speaking in Atlantean)

43:42.870 --> 43:47.703
(Myrddin continues speaking in Atlantean)

43:51.630 --> 43:54.113
It is our gift, and our curse.

43:57.927 --> 43:59.373
All men change, lord,

44:02.550 --> 44:03.573
even us.

44:05.485 --> 44:08.152
(rousing music)

44:15.497 --> 44:18.997
(rousing music continues)

44:22.140 --> 44:26.073
It is an insult to all of us, no matter the father.

44:27.780 --> 44:29.730
The boy should've consulted us

44:29.730 --> 44:31.713
before naming his brother the Dux.

44:33.030 --> 44:34.290
Perhaps in Armorica,

44:34.290 --> 44:37.953
one king lords it over another as he wills,

44:43.830 --> 44:45.903
but that is not how it is done here.

44:53.370 --> 44:55.170
You've always had a silver tongue.

44:56.250 --> 44:58.750
Spit out this thing that you're trying to hint at.

45:00.369 --> 45:03.150
Only that I took an oath to Aurelius,

45:03.150 --> 45:05.520
not to his fool of a brother.

45:05.520 --> 45:09.003
We must have a battle chief who can lead us to victory,

45:11.460 --> 45:12.753
and that Dunaut is right.

45:13.650 --> 45:15.210
If there is to be a Dux Britanniarum,

45:15.210 --> 45:17.043
let us decide it in counsel.

45:18.480 --> 45:20.490
We are all kings, are we not?

45:20.490 --> 45:24.390
Do we not all supply and train our own warbands?

45:24.390 --> 45:26.790
Should we not have a say in who would lead them?

45:28.440 --> 45:32.283
And if Aurelius refuses to heed our wisdom?

45:34.290 --> 45:35.763
Then he must be challenged.

45:36.690 --> 45:40.582
You said yourself, you swore an oath to the boy.

45:40.582 --> 45:44.643
And as you have said, you have not.

45:45.532 --> 45:48.282
(fire crackling)

45:55.508 --> 45:59.091
(fire continues crackling)

46:05.503 --> 46:09.086
(fire continues crackling)

46:12.480 --> 46:14.223
They are two slithering snakes.

46:16.710 --> 46:17.820
I know.

46:17.820 --> 46:19.470
Then why do you entertain them?

46:20.760 --> 46:23.010
Because they are kings of Britain,

46:23.010 --> 46:25.203
and because they speak the truth.

46:26.280 --> 46:27.930
The brothers are honorable men.

46:29.370 --> 46:30.693
Aurelius perhaps,

46:32.520 --> 46:35.553
but he is young, untried,

46:37.050 --> 46:40.653
and war with the Saecsen is no place to learn how to lead.

46:41.748 --> 46:43.263
You learnt in battle.

46:44.550 --> 46:46.743
How much like your mother you are.

46:47.610 --> 46:50.610
Whenever a foul mood would fall, she would speak to me thus.

46:50.610 --> 46:53.283
You're torn, Father, I can see it.

46:54.360 --> 46:57.480
Sometimes honor makes demands of us

46:57.480 --> 46:59.943
that it would be foolish to fulfill.

47:02.430 --> 47:03.813
This is the way of a king.

47:05.700 --> 47:07.947
It is not your way.

47:07.947 --> 47:11.280
(tranquil somber music)

47:17.943 --> 47:22.110
(tranquil somber music continues)

47:28.782 --> 47:33.540
Have my dungeons given you time to think, Myrddin?

47:33.540 --> 47:34.373
They have.

47:35.880 --> 47:37.233
Time I much needed.

47:41.250 --> 47:42.600
They have for me as well.

47:43.950 --> 47:45.453
You know, truth be told,

47:46.650 --> 47:48.900
I did not believe I would ever see you again.

47:50.550 --> 47:51.753
Once,

47:56.340 --> 47:58.473
there was much I wanted to say to you,

47:59.970 --> 48:01.413
so many things.

48:03.330 --> 48:04.233
But now,

48:06.600 --> 48:09.250
after all these years,

48:09.250 --> 48:11.850
(ominous music)

48:11.850 --> 48:16.850
I find there is nothing left in my heart but justice.

48:17.408 --> 48:18.960
(ominous music)

48:18.960 --> 48:20.283
You were a father to me.

48:22.080 --> 48:23.303
And you were a son.

48:27.757 --> 48:28.740
I tried.

48:28.740 --> 48:29.793
You failed,

48:30.840 --> 48:35.230
and now I will exact father's price for that failure!

48:41.967 --> 48:44.100
And with greatest regrets,

48:44.100 --> 48:45.870
that in the hour of tribulation,

48:45.870 --> 48:48.780
the distance between our realms is too far.

48:48.780 --> 48:51.180
Further, as the Irish raids increase--

48:51.180 --> 48:52.013
That's enough.

48:52.013 --> 48:53.597
The coward isn't coming.

48:54.453 --> 48:57.150
Have we received any replies to our other letters?

48:57.150 --> 48:58.480
Eldof of Eboracum

48:59.840 --> 49:01.540
and Ogryvan of Dolgellau

49:02.820 --> 49:07.200
both ask pardon 'cause they're unable to send aid.

49:07.200 --> 49:10.522
And with Loth of Orcady, we've heard no word at all.

49:10.522 --> 49:11.355
(table banging)

49:11.355 --> 49:12.490
Cowards and traitors!

49:13.830 --> 49:15.030
Thank you.

49:15.030 --> 49:17.453
Please send a reply thanking them for their answers.

49:20.790 --> 49:22.490
Even with all the warbands here,

49:24.371 --> 49:27.573
we still don't make up more than half a legion in strength.

49:29.040 --> 49:32.130
Our enemy is disorganized and undisciplined.

49:32.130 --> 49:36.093
Forgive me, Lord Aurelius,

49:37.320 --> 49:40.260
but our enemy grows stronger by the hour.

49:40.260 --> 49:42.870
Every day, more ships cross the sea

49:42.870 --> 49:45.093
bringing Saecsens, Angles, Jutes.

49:46.020 --> 49:48.720
We are outmatched five to one.

49:48.720 --> 49:51.573
The Emrys is rallying the kings of the North.

49:52.903 --> 49:55.230
The warbands could be riding to our aid even now.

49:55.230 --> 49:56.063
Could be?

49:56.063 --> 49:58.470
The North do not care if we live in peace

49:58.470 --> 50:00.033
of burn at the torch.

50:01.290 --> 50:05.310
Let us speak truthfully among ourselves, brothers.

50:05.310 --> 50:07.800
Not since the days of the legions

50:07.800 --> 50:10.650
have so many foes gathered in the Island of the Mighty.

50:10.650 --> 50:13.143
If we are to have any hope of victory,

50:14.130 --> 50:16.953
there must be nothing left to chance.

50:18.840 --> 50:22.920
I call on us to name King Gorlas as Dux Britanniarum.

50:22.920 --> 50:24.093
You bastard.

50:26.130 --> 50:28.020
I second this choice.

50:28.020 --> 50:29.100
This is treason.

50:29.100 --> 50:32.190
Your brother is not king yet.

50:32.190 --> 50:34.233
And who challenges his claim?

50:35.430 --> 50:36.263
I do.

50:39.300 --> 50:41.313
And before we play king making,

50:43.020 --> 50:45.570
there is a war that must be won.

50:45.570 --> 50:47.520
The choosing of the Dux

50:47.520 --> 50:50.583
can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

50:51.450 --> 50:54.220
I ask you and your brother

50:55.170 --> 50:59.430
to step aside and let another lead.

50:59.430 --> 51:00.780
You bastard!

51:00.780 --> 51:02.510
You'd steal our birthrights?

51:02.510 --> 51:06.330
To follow you would not only mean the death of many,

51:06.330 --> 51:08.250
it would mean the death of Britain.

51:08.250 --> 51:10.290
If death comes, it comes to you first.

51:10.290 --> 51:12.140
You threaten me?
Enough! Enough!

51:15.120 --> 51:16.053
Steady, brother.

51:18.300 --> 51:19.950
We cannot afford to lose one man.

51:23.394 --> 51:24.944
Will you follow me into battle?

51:26.790 --> 51:30.250
I will not send the sons of my lords

51:31.260 --> 51:36.260
to die behind two undisciplined and untrained boys.

51:37.963 --> 51:40.293
Then we will settle this the old way.

51:41.490 --> 51:43.053
So we must.

51:46.789 --> 51:48.990
(sword scraping)

51:48.990 --> 51:50.160
Fetch my armor and shield

51:50.160 --> 51:52.170
before this old ox changes his mind.

51:52.170 --> 51:53.003
No, no, no.

51:54.210 --> 51:56.110
They're challenging me for the throne.

51:57.390 --> 52:00.753
If I'm to be High King, this is a fight I must win.

52:10.733 --> 52:11.814
(chains clattering)

52:11.814 --> 52:14.481
(men murmuring)

52:19.220 --> 52:22.970
(chains continue clattering)

52:29.340 --> 52:31.840
(eerie music)

52:33.090 --> 52:35.370
Do you know what the punishment was in Atlantis

52:35.370 --> 52:36.723
for betraying a king?

52:42.090 --> 52:43.413
I know your grief, Lord.

52:44.430 --> 52:45.263
It is my own.

52:46.710 --> 52:48.027
Though I bear it not as you.

52:48.027 --> 52:49.743
You bear it not at all.

52:52.860 --> 52:53.693
But you will.

52:57.488 --> 53:00.488
(chains clattering)

53:04.283 --> 53:06.930
(suspenseful music)

53:06.930 --> 53:08.190
What are you doing?

53:08.190 --> 53:10.101
Pelleas had nothing to do with that day.

53:10.101 --> 53:11.430
(Pelleas groaning)

53:11.430 --> 53:15.420
He followed his master, and he failed my child.

53:15.420 --> 53:17.520
Custennin, stop this madness.

53:17.520 --> 53:18.720
Your quarrel is with me.

53:24.601 --> 53:28.156
(suspenseful music)

53:28.156 --> 53:30.463
(Pelleas screaming)

53:30.463 --> 53:31.296
No.

53:34.271 --> 53:37.271
(suspenseful music)

53:40.320 --> 53:42.933
Watch and suffer, like I suffered.

53:43.937 --> 53:46.937
(Pelleas screaming)

53:48.420 --> 53:49.736
Look at you.

53:49.736 --> 53:52.543
You're just going to let him die, aren't you,

53:52.543 --> 53:53.437
like you let her die?

53:54.771 --> 53:55.760
Custennin, please.

53:55.760 --> 53:59.853
All you've got to do is slay me and save him,

54:02.672 --> 54:04.518
like you could've saved her.

54:04.518 --> 54:07.185
(rousing music)

54:13.110 --> 54:15.480
Show me you could've saved her.

54:16.768 --> 54:18.495
(explosion booming)

54:18.495 --> 54:20.084
(rousing music)

54:20.084 --> 54:23.167
(heartbeat thumping)

54:29.967 --> 54:33.467
(rousing music continues)

54:39.843 --> 54:42.843
(chains clattering)

54:49.939 --> 54:52.972
(rousing music continues)

54:52.972 --> 54:55.722
(water bubbling)

55:03.001 --> 55:06.501
(rousing music continues)

55:13.019 --> 55:16.519
(rousing music continues)

55:22.958 --> 55:26.458
(rousing music continues)

55:33.004 --> 55:36.504
(rousing music continues)

55:44.012 --> 55:47.512
(rousing music continues)

55:53.983 --> 55:57.483
(rousing music continues)

56:03.978 --> 56:07.478
(rousing music continues)

56:12.179 --> 56:15.426
(Custennin exclaiming)

56:15.426 --> 56:18.509
(Custennin grunting)

56:22.614 --> 56:23.447
Finish it.

56:25.483 --> 56:27.316
Go on then, finish it!

56:33.656 --> 56:34.489
Finish it.

56:36.810 --> 56:37.890
This is the second time

56:37.890 --> 56:40.707
you've found yourself beneath my blade, King Custennin.

56:42.420 --> 56:43.926
There will not be a third.

56:43.926 --> 56:47.259
(tranquil somber music)

56:51.934 --> 56:54.851
(Custennin crying)

56:56.759 --> 56:59.759
(Custennin heaving)

57:05.931 --> 57:08.598
(ominous music)

57:14.043 --> 57:16.290
Do not waste your strength on this dog.

57:16.290 --> 57:17.250
I am your battle-chief.

57:17.250 --> 57:18.450
Let me be your champion.

57:18.450 --> 57:19.283
I cannot.

57:19.283 --> 57:21.750
This is their scheming at work, brother.

57:21.750 --> 57:22.583
He seeks to demean you.

57:22.583 --> 57:23.643
Do not give into them.

57:25.980 --> 57:27.813
Please, brother, let me fight.

57:29.640 --> 57:31.470
He is a great warrior,

57:31.470 --> 57:33.513
a seasoned warrior.

57:36.090 --> 57:37.083
He will kill you.

57:39.780 --> 57:41.933
This is the way it must be.

57:41.933 --> 57:44.306
My soul is in God's hands.

57:44.306 --> 57:46.770
(men murmuring)

57:46.770 --> 57:48.320
The gods are fickle, brother.

57:49.350 --> 57:50.183
Not my God.

57:54.655 --> 57:57.988
(tranquil somber music)

58:04.737 --> 58:05.973
The Sword is Britain.

58:09.915 --> 58:12.947
I will not stain this noble blade with British blood.

58:14.150 --> 58:15.723
Here. Give me yours.

58:19.404 --> 58:22.154
(sword scraping)

58:25.140 --> 58:27.390
He's strong, but slow.

58:27.390 --> 58:29.663
Wear him down, then strike without mercy.

58:31.682 --> 58:35.015
(tranquil somber music)

58:38.872 --> 58:41.872
(suspenseful music)

58:49.530 --> 58:53.373
I will say this once again, in the hearing of all,

58:55.530 --> 58:57.183
yield your claim.

58:58.650 --> 59:00.300
Many words were spoken in anger

59:01.890 --> 59:03.040
that I will yet forgive

59:04.710 --> 59:06.210
if you agree to bend the knee.

59:08.880 --> 59:09.833
So be it.

59:10.710 --> 59:12.783
Your blood be on your own head.

59:16.815 --> 59:19.815
(suspenseful music)

59:26.331 --> 59:29.708
(Gorlas screaming)

59:29.708 --> 59:32.291
(men cheering)

59:37.274 --> 59:40.274
(suspenseful music)

59:47.237 --> 59:48.070
(Gorlas screaming)

59:48.070 --> 59:50.987
(weapons thumping)

59:56.658 --> 59:59.241
(men cheering)

01:00:00.427 --> 01:00:03.510
(weapons clattering)

01:00:06.851 --> 01:00:09.211
Wear him down, brother. Easy.

01:00:09.211 --> 01:00:12.128
(weapons clanking)

01:00:15.307 --> 01:00:17.890
(men cheering)

01:00:20.525 --> 01:00:22.670
There you go, brother.

01:00:22.670 --> 01:00:23.587
Fight me!

01:00:26.616 --> 01:00:27.449
(Gorlas screaming)

01:00:27.449 --> 01:00:30.366
(weapons clanking)

01:00:31.820 --> 01:00:33.605
Do it, brother!

01:00:33.605 --> 01:00:36.522
(Gorlas screaming)

01:00:38.478 --> 01:00:41.311
(Gorlas groaning)

01:00:44.537 --> 01:00:46.351
Enough, my lord.

01:00:46.351 --> 01:00:47.728
Nothing to be gained.

01:00:47.728 --> 01:00:50.645
(Gorlas screaming)

01:00:52.777 --> 01:00:55.527
(sword clanking)

01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.702
(men cheering)

01:01:02.641 --> 01:01:05.719
(sword clanking)

01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:08.302
Kill him, Aurelius! Kill him!

01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:15.872
(Gorlas groaning)

01:01:18.718 --> 01:01:21.475
(men cheering)

01:01:21.475 --> 01:01:25.122
(suspenseful music)

01:01:25.122 --> 01:01:27.789
(rousing music)

01:01:31.612 --> 01:01:32.695
No! Leave it.

01:01:33.709 --> 01:01:35.126
You'll bleed out.

01:01:36.658 --> 01:01:39.241
(men cheering)

01:01:40.088 --> 01:01:41.588
Easy now, brother.

01:01:42.710 --> 01:01:44.089
Easy.

01:01:44.089 --> 01:01:46.474
(rousing music)

01:01:46.474 --> 01:01:49.057
(men cheering)

01:01:51.756 --> 01:01:53.431
You, boy!

01:01:55.535 --> 01:01:56.992
(rousing music)

01:01:56.992 --> 01:02:00.093
(men cheering)

01:02:00.093 --> 01:02:02.243
(both exclaiming)

01:02:02.243 --> 01:02:05.243
(swords clattering)

01:02:06.273 --> 01:02:09.342
(blow thumping)

01:02:09.342 --> 01:02:12.710
(suspenseful music)

01:02:12.710 --> 01:02:14.832
(swords clattering)

01:02:14.832 --> 01:02:17.582
(blows thumping)

01:02:23.381 --> 01:02:24.214
(Gorlas groaning)

01:02:24.214 --> 01:02:26.964
(blows thumping)

01:02:28.398 --> 01:02:30.841
(Gorlas groaning)

01:02:30.841 --> 01:02:34.049
(suspenseful music)

01:02:34.049 --> 01:02:37.049
(Gorlas exclaiming)

01:02:40.435 --> 01:02:43.018
(men cheering)

01:02:49.106 --> 01:02:52.023
(Gorlas screaming)

01:02:55.923 --> 01:02:58.673
(men exclaiming)

01:03:01.925 --> 01:03:05.342
(tranquil rousing music)

01:03:09.074 --> 01:03:10.840
(Gorlas heaving)

01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:13.673
(Gorlas groaning)

01:03:14.820 --> 01:03:19.070
(rousing tranquil music continues)

01:03:25.042 --> 01:03:29.292
(rousing tranquil music continues)

01:03:35.300 --> 01:03:38.133
(Gorlas grunting)

01:03:38.989 --> 01:03:43.239
(rousing tranquil music continues)

01:03:49.572 --> 01:03:50.627
(rousing music)

01:03:50.627 --> 01:03:53.827
(men cheering)

01:03:53.827 --> 01:03:57.160
(men chanting Aurelius)

01:04:03.870 --> 01:04:06.953
(chanting continues)

01:04:10.833 --> 01:04:13.833
(Aurelius groaning)

01:04:15.829 --> 01:04:18.035
I must not be carried.

01:04:18.035 --> 01:04:20.493
(rousing music)

01:04:20.493 --> 01:04:24.466
(men chanting Aurelius)

01:04:24.466 --> 01:04:27.966
(rousing music continues)

01:04:36.727 --> 01:04:39.246
(birds singing)

01:04:39.246 --> 01:04:42.579
(footsteps approaching)

01:04:45.330 --> 01:04:47.733
She was never a maid given to soft things,

01:04:49.590 --> 01:04:51.333
like ribbons and flowers.

01:04:55.410 --> 01:04:56.810
You made that change in her.

01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:01.060
You didn't bring her in?

01:05:02.340 --> 01:05:03.173
No.

01:05:05.910 --> 01:05:09.753
It seemed right that she should find her rest here.

01:05:15.870 --> 01:05:17.133
I tried to save her,

01:05:20.904 --> 01:05:22.904
with all my strength, with all my power,

01:05:27.510 --> 01:05:28.610
with everything I had.

01:05:33.630 --> 01:05:36.130
Tell me about these brothers that you now serve.

01:05:39.720 --> 01:05:41.373
Aurelius is of noble stock.

01:05:44.640 --> 01:05:47.790
He is a man of both Roman and British blood.

01:05:47.790 --> 01:05:51.903
Though young, he has a wisdom beyond his years.

01:05:54.840 --> 01:05:56.643
I've seen his future in the fire.

01:05:58.410 --> 01:05:59.760
I've seen him lead an army.

01:06:00.780 --> 01:06:02.380
I've seen his courage in battle.

01:06:03.960 --> 01:06:08.070
I have seen him administer both justice and mercy.

01:06:08.070 --> 01:06:11.163
I believe him to be the High King this land needs.

01:06:12.570 --> 01:06:13.403
And the other?

01:06:17.553 --> 01:06:20.700
(Custennin scoffs)

01:06:20.700 --> 01:06:22.953
Great darkness is falling upon this land.

01:06:24.270 --> 01:06:27.240
Right or wrong, these brothers are our only hope

01:06:27.240 --> 01:06:28.293
to stand against it.

01:06:30.120 --> 01:06:31.503
Not our only hope.

01:06:34.153 --> 01:06:36.903
(tranquil music)

01:06:38.897 --> 01:06:42.814
The kings of the North shall ride to their aid.

01:06:44.190 --> 01:06:45.333
You have my word.

01:06:46.542 --> 01:06:49.959
(tranquil rousing music)

01:06:53.848 --> 01:06:55.014
(Aurelius groaning)

01:06:55.014 --> 01:06:57.064
Here, brother.

01:06:57.064 --> 01:06:57.981
Drink this.

01:06:58.909 --> 01:06:59.742
Easy.

01:07:00.953 --> 01:07:01.786
Easy.

01:07:03.836 --> 01:07:06.753
(Aurelius heaving)

01:07:11.698 --> 01:07:12.531
Drink.

01:07:18.457 --> 01:07:21.457
(Aurelius groaning)

01:07:23.074 --> 01:07:25.991
(Aurelius heaving)

01:07:34.475 --> 01:07:36.058
Uther, the kings,

01:07:39.390 --> 01:07:40.503
did you see the kings?

01:07:44.250 --> 01:07:45.690
Will they follow?

01:07:45.690 --> 01:07:48.420
The gods take the kings, Aurelius.

01:07:48.420 --> 01:07:51.220
The men in the men, brother.

01:07:51.220 --> 01:07:52.503
After what they saw,

01:07:53.430 --> 01:07:55.799
they'll follow you into Hades itself.

01:07:55.799 --> 01:07:58.799
(Aurelius groaning)

01:08:05.949 --> 01:08:06.782
Uther,

01:08:09.399 --> 01:08:12.316
you do not let them hear me scream.

01:08:14.312 --> 01:08:17.312
(Aurelius groaning)

01:08:19.598 --> 01:08:22.265
(ominous music)

01:08:26.484 --> 01:08:29.984
(ominous music continues)

01:08:35.555 --> 01:08:38.638
(Aurelius screaming)

01:08:39.641 --> 01:08:42.391
(flesh sizzling)

01:08:45.821 --> 01:08:48.571
(tranquil music)

01:08:55.960 --> 01:08:59.543
(tranquil music continues)

01:09:05.978 --> 01:09:09.561
(tranquil music continues)

01:09:15.978 --> 01:09:19.561
(tranquil music continues)

01:09:21.070 --> 01:09:21.903
Stay.

01:11:03.870 --> 01:11:05.833
(rousing music)

01:11:05.833 --> 01:11:08.473
I am Custennin, king of Gothe and Kelithon.

01:11:09.910 --> 01:11:11.987
You've met my daughter, Ganieda.

01:11:11.987 --> 01:11:12.820
(suspenseful music)

01:11:12.820 --> 01:11:16.030
(men cheering)

01:11:16.030 --> 01:11:16.957
Ganieda.

01:11:16.957 --> 01:11:19.090
(rousing music)

01:11:19.090 --> 01:11:22.238
I find myself endlessly curious about you, Merlin,

01:11:22.238 --> 01:11:24.370
and yet you do not reveal your secrets.

01:11:24.370 --> 01:11:27.130
I would ask you to winter here with us.

01:11:27.130 --> 01:11:29.140
You forget that I knew your father.

01:11:29.140 --> 01:11:30.433
You have his presence.

01:11:31.360 --> 01:11:32.436
Stay.

01:11:32.436 --> 01:11:34.993
(rousing music)

01:11:34.993 --> 01:11:37.576
(men cheering)

01:11:39.700 --> 01:11:42.027
I sense danger in this place.

01:11:42.027 --> 01:11:43.163
(suspenseful music)

01:11:43.163 --> 01:11:45.041
(men exclaiming)

01:11:45.041 --> 01:11:47.874
(woman screaming)

01:11:49.824 --> 01:11:51.265
Ganieda.

01:11:51.265 --> 01:11:54.348
(suspenseful music)
