1
00:00:00,664 --> 00:00:03,766
(discordant suspenseful music)

2
00:00:03,767 --> 00:00:07,151
(projectiles crashing)
(dramatic music)

3
00:00:07,152 --> 00:00:10,387
{\an8}(Charis speaking Atlantean)

4
00:00:10,388 --> 00:00:13,053
(projectiles crashing)

5
00:00:13,054 --> 00:00:15,904
The treasure is my son, Taliesin,

6
00:00:15,905 --> 00:00:19,619
and in his voice will be born a Kingdom of Summer.

7
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:20,969
I do not love the bard.

8
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:22,468
It's only his power I desire.

9
00:00:22,469 --> 00:00:23,549
(Taliesin screaming)

10
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:25,829
The Supreme Spirit, the Lord of all worlds,

11
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:28,079
My Lord reigns over them all.

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,374
You are young.

13
00:00:29,375 --> 00:00:30,749
To your eyes, perhaps.

14
00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:33,329
My people carry our years more lightly than others.

15
00:00:33,330 --> 00:00:34,430
Ave, Maria!

16
00:00:35,294 --> 00:00:36,929
I would be your wife, Taliesin.

17
00:00:36,930 --> 00:00:38,069
Together we could build the world

18
00:00:38,070 --> 00:00:39,820
more powerful than Atlantis itself.

19
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,782
Atlantis rests at the bottom of the sea,

20
00:00:42,783 --> 00:00:44,210
Morgain.

21
00:00:44,211 --> 00:00:47,129
(water splashing)
(swimmer coughing)

22
00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:49,919
Taliesin, he has declared his love for me.

23
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,999
What have you found?

24
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,832
A hawk!

25
00:00:51,833 --> 00:00:52,743
A merlin.

26
00:00:54,038 --> 00:00:54,870
(merlin screeches)

27
00:00:54,871 --> 00:00:56,999
I've seen a land shining with goodness.

28
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,072
It's the Kingdom of Summer and I will be its king.

29
00:01:00,073 --> 00:01:01,409
(Charis screaming in pain)

30
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:02,899
The baby's dead.

31
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:06,046
Jesu!

32
00:01:06,047 --> 00:01:09,287
(Charis crying)
(rain pounding)

33
00:01:09,288 --> 00:01:10,799
(Taliesin chanting ethereally)

34
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:11,643
God in heaven.

35
00:01:12,904 --> 00:01:15,772
(baby cooing)

36
00:01:15,773 --> 00:01:17,009
(baby crying)

37
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:18,829
My son has the eyes of a hawk!

38
00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:20,541
Of a merlin.

39
00:01:20,542 --> 00:01:21,999
(tense dramatic music)
(arrow slices)

40
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
No!
(baby crying)

41
00:01:26,097 --> 00:01:30,180
(tense dramatic music continues)

42
00:01:31,361 --> 00:01:34,898
(thunder rumbling)

43
00:01:34,899 --> 00:01:38,162
(airy pensive music)

44
00:01:38,163 --> 00:01:41,246
(graphics whooshing)

45
00:01:42,951 --> 00:01:45,951
(airy bright chime)

46
00:01:48,258 --> 00:01:53,258
(airy haunting music)
(birds chirping)

47
00:01:56,662 --> 00:01:58,608
(airy haunting music continues)

48
00:01:58,609 --> 00:02:01,883
(crow cawing)

49
00:02:01,884 --> 00:02:04,551
(birds singing)

50
00:02:08,050 --> 00:02:10,609
(footsteps scuffling)

51
00:02:10,610 --> 00:02:13,827
They say that Merlin is mad.

52
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,419
(crow cawing)

53
00:02:23,793 --> 00:02:25,649
(airy tense music)

54
00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:27,989
(water babbling)

55
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:29,733
They say he was a king in Dyfed,

56
00:02:30,706 --> 00:02:34,353
that his rule was just and his hand was strong.

57
00:02:38,010 --> 00:02:39,753
They say he was a bard,

58
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,893
the son of a princess of lost Atlantis,

59
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:47,343
and a Cymry prophet of great renown.

60
00:02:48,818 --> 00:02:51,209
(feet pattering)

61
00:02:51,210 --> 00:02:55,623
They say the future and the past are known to him.

62
00:02:57,425 --> 00:02:59,969
(birds singing)

63
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:03,213
That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets.

64
00:03:04,613 --> 00:03:05,445
(grass rustling)

65
00:03:05,446 --> 00:03:06,899
That the magic of the Hill Folk and Druids

66
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:11,521
and Daughters of Bel come forth at his easy command.

67
00:03:11,522 --> 00:03:14,272
(grass rustling)

68
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:18,573
They say he slew hundreds.

69
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,213
Hundreds, do you hear?

70
00:03:22,830 --> 00:03:26,579
That the world burned and the ground trembled at his wrath.

71
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:30,003
Lord Death thanked him for his terrible harvest.

72
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:31,733
Death!

73
00:03:32,737 --> 00:03:33,569
(rain pattering)

74
00:03:33,570 --> 00:03:35,603
You have taken all of the others.

75
00:03:38,316 --> 00:03:40,811
Why have you not taken me?

76
00:03:40,812 --> 00:03:44,107
(thunder crashes)

77
00:03:44,108 --> 00:03:47,025
(thunder rumbling)

78
00:03:48,226 --> 00:03:53,209
Go back the way you came!

79
00:03:56,356 --> 00:04:00,724
(discordant dramatic music)

80
00:04:00,725 --> 00:04:03,475
(mournful music)

81
00:04:09,471 --> 00:04:13,054
(mournful music continues)

82
00:04:22,013 --> 00:04:25,596
(mournful music continues)

83
00:04:31,818 --> 00:04:35,318
{\an8}(dramatic mournful music)

84
00:04:42,527 --> 00:04:46,860
(dramatic mournful music continues)

85
00:04:54,081 --> 00:04:58,414
{\an8}(dramatic mournful music continues)

86
00:05:01,973 --> 00:05:05,556
(dramatic inspiring music)

87
00:05:12,770 --> 00:05:15,808
(dramatic inspiring music continues)

88
00:05:15,809 --> 00:05:18,440
{\an8}(choir singing in foreign language)

89
00:05:18,441 --> 00:05:22,858
(dramatic inspiring music continues)

90
00:05:40,831 --> 00:05:43,134
(wind howling)

91
00:05:43,135 --> 00:05:44,488
(crow cawing)

92
00:05:44,489 --> 00:05:47,656
(airy mournful music)

93
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:51,514
(hooves clopping)

94
00:05:57,716 --> 00:06:00,549
(hooves clopping)

95
00:06:03,858 --> 00:06:06,691
(horses snorting)

96
00:06:08,244 --> 00:06:12,244
(airy mournful music continues)

97
00:06:16,948 --> 00:06:18,174
(horse snorts)

98
00:06:18,175 --> 00:06:20,925
(horse whinnies)

99
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:27,968
(chains clang)

100
00:06:30,107 --> 00:06:33,149
Do not raise your hand against me again, Daned,

101
00:06:33,150 --> 00:06:34,200
if you would keep it.

102
00:06:38,313 --> 00:06:40,049
How do you know my name?

103
00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:41,549
I know a great many things.

104
00:06:41,550 --> 00:06:43,713
Silence! It's a trick!

105
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:45,723
A trick, Iddec?

106
00:06:47,135 --> 00:06:47,968
Is that what you believe?

107
00:06:49,460 --> 00:06:51,912
Duach!

108
00:06:51,913 --> 00:06:52,745
(horse snorts)

109
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:53,699
What is it?

110
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:55,019
He knows us!

111
00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:58,083
He knows nothing you haven't already told him.

112
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,163
And you! Do not test me!

113
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:05,819
I'm a powerful druid.

114
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:08,609
I would speak lightly of power, friend,

115
00:07:08,610 --> 00:07:10,533
for I know whence your power comes.

116
00:07:12,013 --> 00:07:13,288
(hooves clopping)

117
00:07:13,289 --> 00:07:14,579
(horse snorts)

118
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:16,849
Whoever they were, they've moved on.

119
00:07:16,850 --> 00:07:20,264
You know well who they were, son of Vortigern,

120
00:07:20,265 --> 00:07:22,515
the very Saecsen raiders...

121
00:07:23,645 --> 00:07:27,752
You and your father

122
00:07:27,753 --> 00:07:29,295
gave a foothold in our land.

123
00:07:31,775 --> 00:07:33,179
You told him who we are!

124
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:36,059
No, my prince! I swear it!

125
00:07:36,060 --> 00:07:38,339
I do not care for their manner, My Lord.

126
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:40,049
Perhaps we should not go with them.

127
00:07:40,050 --> 00:07:43,304
Oh, we have nothing to fear from these men, Pelleas.

128
00:07:43,305 --> 00:07:44,549
And I am eager to meet the man

129
00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:47,369
who has made himself king over all others.

130
00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:49,349
It's the quickest way I know to announce to the world

131
00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:53,193
that Merlin Emrys has returned to the land of the living.

132
00:07:54,612 --> 00:07:56,695
(swelling music)

133
00:07:58,975 --> 00:08:02,339
(Pascent laughs)

134
00:08:02,340 --> 00:08:03,640
My father will like you.

135
00:08:05,171 --> 00:08:08,421
(tense ethereal music)

136
00:08:09,961 --> 00:08:14,961
(horses neighing)
(hooves clopping)

137
00:08:20,968 --> 00:08:23,968
(suspenseful music)

138
00:08:25,215 --> 00:08:30,215
(mallet banging)
(sword clanging)

139
00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:33,797
Perfect! There you go.

140
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:37,439
Provisions are being gathered,

141
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,090
but we need time to build a wall.

142
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:41,489
(soldiers chattering)

143
00:08:41,490 --> 00:08:42,590
We haven't got time.

144
00:08:46,473 --> 00:08:47,409
(cart clattering)

145
00:08:47,410 --> 00:08:48,977
Up against the wall, right now!

146
00:08:48,978 --> 00:08:50,332
You said it would be done.

147
00:08:50,333 --> 00:08:52,711
And it will be, Great King.

148
00:08:52,712 --> 00:08:53,544
(soldiers chattering)

149
00:08:53,545 --> 00:08:54,490
Riders approach!

150
00:08:57,458 --> 00:09:01,991
(suspenseful music crescendos)

151
00:09:01,992 --> 00:09:05,354
(Vortigern grunting)

152
00:09:05,355 --> 00:09:07,537
Help you, My Lord.

153
00:09:07,538 --> 00:09:10,385
(horse neighs)

154
00:09:10,386 --> 00:09:12,849
(hooves clopping)

155
00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:14,599
Open the gate!

156
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,250
(chains clanging)

157
00:09:18,251 --> 00:09:20,721
(gate slams)

158
00:09:20,722 --> 00:09:22,577
We need to put a plug. Right there.

159
00:09:22,578 --> 00:09:24,103
Right there!

160
00:09:24,104 --> 00:09:26,119
(knees thudding)

161
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,873
My father and my king,

162
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:33,710
I bring you a great gift and the answer to your troubles.

163
00:09:35,130 --> 00:09:38,819
No! There must be some mistake.

164
00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:42,989
The man I seek was already old when I was a child.

165
00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:44,977
This cannot be the Merlin.

166
00:09:44,978 --> 00:09:47,969
They say Merlin is of the Faer Folk, My King.

167
00:09:47,970 --> 00:09:50,099
They call him Emrys.

168
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:50,933
Immortal!

169
00:09:53,370 --> 00:09:54,959
Is that so?

170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,585
I'm known by many names, Vortigern.

171
00:09:57,586 --> 00:09:58,418
(hand slaps)

172
00:09:58,419 --> 00:10:02,076
(Pelleas grunting angrily)

173
00:10:02,077 --> 00:10:04,559
You will call him, "High King!"

174
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:05,393
Pascent!

175
00:10:12,690 --> 00:10:16,259
And do you know why I have sought you?

176
00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:19,349
Work on your stronghold is going badly.

177
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:23,219
Your druids blame an evil spirit for the failure

178
00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:25,293
of your masons to build a decent wall.

179
00:10:26,205 --> 00:10:28,049
(soldiers chattering)

180
00:10:28,050 --> 00:10:29,309
Go on.

181
00:10:29,310 --> 00:10:31,859
They tell you the blood of a virgin-born man is required

182
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:33,543
to secure your foundations.

183
00:10:34,410 --> 00:10:36,935
Is that not the way of it, Joram?

184
00:10:36,936 --> 00:10:38,106
(Joram grunts)

185
00:10:38,107 --> 00:10:38,939
Ready!

186
00:10:38,940 --> 00:10:41,697
Is there any doubt this is the man we require?

187
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:45,809
He is full of tricks, sire.

188
00:10:45,810 --> 00:10:47,160
Do not let him confuse you!

189
00:10:48,060 --> 00:10:52,019
My enemies ride against me.

190
00:10:52,020 --> 00:10:55,109
I would fortify this position,

191
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:59,480
but each night my walls...

192
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,309
Crumble and fall.
(liquid splashing)

193
00:11:05,310 --> 00:11:09,179
Are you indeed a fatherless child, Merlin Emrys?

194
00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:14,039
Or perhaps just another bastard without a father?

195
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,733
My father was Taliesin ap Elphin ap Gwyddno,

196
00:11:19,230 --> 00:11:21,280
names that were once lauded in this land.

197
00:11:22,530 --> 00:11:27,089
Names of great renown in Cymry long, long ago.

198
00:11:27,090 --> 00:11:30,719
But, sire, Taliesin was no mortal.

199
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,929
He was an otherworldly being.

200
00:11:33,930 --> 00:11:36,047
That will be news to my mother.

201
00:11:36,048 --> 00:11:38,189
(Vortigern laughs)

202
00:11:38,190 --> 00:11:41,276
There are no evil spirits at work here, Vortigern,

203
00:11:41,277 --> 00:11:43,863
and no man virgin-born, save one only.

204
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Your problem is taking council from liars and fools.

205
00:11:50,730 --> 00:11:53,430
What proof do you offer that the wall is not cursed?

206
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:57,735
(suspenseful music)

207
00:11:57,736 --> 00:12:02,736
(picks thudding)
(Pelleas grunting)

208
00:12:09,234 --> 00:12:10,066
(pick thuds)

209
00:12:10,067 --> 00:12:10,900
Underground?

210
00:12:11,865 --> 00:12:12,697
(pick thuds)
Oof!

211
00:12:12,698 --> 00:12:13,531
Underground.

212
00:12:14,714 --> 00:12:16,709
(pick thudding)

213
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:17,543
You sure?

214
00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:20,680
I grow impatient, Merlin.

215
00:12:21,603 --> 00:12:22,435
(pick thudding)

216
00:12:22,436 --> 00:12:25,068
He'll spill your blood to build his wall.

217
00:12:25,069 --> 00:12:28,537
Oh, aye. Vortigern is a pitiless man.

218
00:12:28,538 --> 00:12:29,579
(pick thuds)

219
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:30,413
And desperate.

220
00:12:31,695 --> 00:12:33,899
(pick thuds)

221
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:35,009
But nothing will happen to me

222
00:12:35,010 --> 00:12:37,547
that is not appointed to happen, Pelleas.

223
00:12:38,927 --> 00:12:40,709
You did not bring me back to the world of men

224
00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:41,998
to watch me die in this pit.

225
00:12:41,999 --> 00:12:42,831
(pick thuds)

226
00:12:42,832 --> 00:12:45,119
Enough! These men mock you!

227
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,385
And they waste what little time we have left.

228
00:12:47,386 --> 00:12:48,218
(sword scrapes)

229
00:12:48,219 --> 00:12:49,070
Pascent!

230
00:12:49,071 --> 00:12:49,903
(dramatic music)

231
00:12:49,904 --> 00:12:51,672
(feet stomp)
(Pascent screams)

232
00:12:51,673 --> 00:12:52,718
Ugh!

233
00:12:52,719 --> 00:12:55,886
(fighters grunting)
(haunting music)

234
00:12:55,887 --> 00:12:58,304
(pick thuds)

235
00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:02,478
(pick thuds)

236
00:13:02,479 --> 00:13:05,637
(Pelleas and Pascent grunting)

237
00:13:05,638 --> 00:13:09,168
(haunting music continues)

238
00:13:09,169 --> 00:13:10,449
(pick thuds)

239
00:13:10,450 --> 00:13:13,200
(water bubbling)

240
00:13:14,119 --> 00:13:17,036
(Pascent groaning)

241
00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:21,947
(haunting music continues)

242
00:13:25,339 --> 00:13:28,256
(fighters gasping)

243
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,693
No evil spirits.

244
00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:39,903
No underground dragon.

245
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,319
The spring washes the earth away

246
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,220
beneath the weight of your stone wall.

247
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,273
Traitor.

248
00:13:55,524 --> 00:13:56,366
Traitor!

249
00:13:56,367 --> 00:14:01,021
(knife slices)
(chief druid grunts)

250
00:14:01,022 --> 00:14:02,123
Ah!
(knife slices)

251
00:14:02,124 --> 00:14:04,541
(body thuds)

252
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,233
These men, whom I entrusted with my life,

253
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:16,893
have shown themselves false before me.

254
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:24,033
These men were so eager for your blood.

255
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,350
Surely they will not mind my asking for theirs.

256
00:14:33,403 --> 00:14:37,292
(dramatic drumming music)

257
00:14:37,293 --> 00:14:39,402
No! No! No! No!

258
00:14:39,403 --> 00:14:41,687
(swords slicing)
(druids groaning)

259
00:14:41,688 --> 00:14:46,688
(water splashing)
(soldiers chattering)

260
00:14:51,330 --> 00:14:54,163
(chains rattling)

261
00:14:55,753 --> 00:14:58,920
(soldiers chattering)

262
00:15:00,597 --> 00:15:04,072
I am an old man, Merlin,

263
00:15:04,073 --> 00:15:04,906
and a fool.

264
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,719
You have my apology and you will have my reward.

265
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,980
I'll accept nothing from your hand, Vortigern.

266
00:15:12,981 --> 00:15:14,429
(soldiers chattering)

267
00:15:14,430 --> 00:15:18,209
Am I so distasteful to your eyes?

268
00:15:18,210 --> 00:15:20,009
Whatever you would give to me,

269
00:15:20,010 --> 00:15:21,410
you have taken from another.

270
00:15:23,430 --> 00:15:24,663
You have done much evil.

271
00:15:26,670 --> 00:15:29,249
And much evil will be done to you.

272
00:15:29,250 --> 00:15:31,500
He's gone home!

273
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:37,409
Have I not held the land in peace these last years?

274
00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:39,959
Given the Saecsen safe harbor to plunder our land

275
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,493
is not holding the peace.

276
00:15:43,650 --> 00:15:45,449
I saw no other way.

277
00:15:45,450 --> 00:15:47,673
You traded strength for peace,

278
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,003
but there'll be no peace without strength.

279
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:55,079
Father, you would free these men

280
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,539
after they humiliated you in your own court?

281
00:15:57,540 --> 00:16:00,393
I humiliated myself, as did you.

282
00:16:02,310 --> 00:16:05,639
You just killed your own counselors on the brink of war.

283
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,963
False counselors!

284
00:16:09,229 --> 00:16:10,593
And an unwinnable war.

285
00:16:13,784 --> 00:16:16,887
(fire crackling)

286
00:16:16,888 --> 00:16:18,188
I had a vision.

287
00:16:18,189 --> 00:16:19,812
(tense music)

288
00:16:19,813 --> 00:16:21,033
A waking dream.

289
00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:25,374
I saw the pit that Merlin dug.

290
00:16:25,375 --> 00:16:27,792
(pick thuds)

291
00:16:28,830 --> 00:16:30,350
I heard his pick...

292
00:16:31,318 --> 00:16:32,448
(pick thuds)

293
00:16:32,449 --> 00:16:35,818
As it struck the stone, only instead of water...

294
00:16:35,819 --> 00:16:38,058
(pick thuds)
(water bubbling)

295
00:16:38,059 --> 00:16:40,023
A great cavern lay beneath.

296
00:16:41,057 --> 00:16:44,140
(airy pensive music)

297
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,573
In the cavern, were two great stones like eggs.

298
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:53,759
Inside the eggs,

299
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,539
two dragons came forth to battle one another.

300
00:16:57,540 --> 00:17:00,843
The first was white as milk.

301
00:17:01,740 --> 00:17:03,026
And the other...

302
00:17:03,027 --> 00:17:06,322
(thunder crashes)

303
00:17:06,323 --> 00:17:07,156
Red...

304
00:17:09,747 --> 00:17:10,580
As blood!

305
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,653
And they fought each other, the dragons,

306
00:17:17,550 --> 00:17:20,523
and their battle was terrible to behold.

307
00:17:22,980 --> 00:17:24,656
Sorely they wounded one another,

308
00:17:24,657 --> 00:17:26,909
and when they could fight no more,

309
00:17:26,910 --> 00:17:30,693
they dragged themselves back into their eggs and slept,

310
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,793
but only to fight again once they were rested.

311
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:39,323
What of this dream?

312
00:17:40,969 --> 00:17:41,802
Merlin?

313
00:17:44,051 --> 00:17:44,884
Merlin?

314
00:17:46,131 --> 00:17:47,402
Master?

315
00:17:47,403 --> 00:17:50,570
(soldiers chattering)

316
00:17:53,547 --> 00:17:54,993
The dream, Merlin.

317
00:17:56,550 --> 00:17:57,963
What of this dream?

318
00:18:00,540 --> 00:18:02,957
Do you really want to know?

319
00:18:06,813 --> 00:18:08,313
Flee, Vortigern.

320
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:12,603
If you would live, you must flee.

321
00:18:13,710 --> 00:18:16,409
The dragons you have seen are your enemies,

322
00:18:16,410 --> 00:18:18,303
white for the Saecsen horde,

323
00:18:19,650 --> 00:18:22,919
red for the True Sons of Britain

324
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,263
whose father you murdered for your crown.

325
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,309
But they war with each other, not with us.

326
00:18:29,310 --> 00:18:32,163
The Saecsen may still join us after all we've given them.

327
00:18:33,630 --> 00:18:35,129
(enchanted tense music)

328
00:18:35,130 --> 00:18:36,543
Is there no hope for me?

329
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:42,659
Here is your hope and the hope of our people.

330
00:18:42,660 --> 00:18:44,849
From the events of which you have set in motion,

331
00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:48,063
a king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand.

332
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:52,563
A High King who will be the wonder of the world,

333
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:55,769
a chief dragon

334
00:18:55,770 --> 00:18:58,263
to utterly devour the white dragon of the pit.

335
00:18:59,465 --> 00:19:02,632
(soldiers chattering)

336
00:19:04,083 --> 00:19:04,916
You?

337
00:19:07,731 --> 00:19:09,449
I do not know.

338
00:19:09,450 --> 00:19:11,193
He speaks of destruction!

339
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:15,719
I will ride this very night to the Saecsen shore

340
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,107
to rally our friends to our cause.

341
00:19:18,108 --> 00:19:19,163
Ride!

342
00:19:19,164 --> 00:19:20,489
Ride then, boy.

343
00:19:20,490 --> 00:19:24,183
Ride and do not tarry! Our doom is upon us.

344
00:19:25,342 --> 00:19:27,039
Ride!

345
00:19:29,203 --> 00:19:32,620
(airy suspenseful music)

346
00:19:35,790 --> 00:19:39,393
If this is to be Vortigern's last stand,

347
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,433
let my son be well away from this place.

348
00:19:48,318 --> 00:19:50,249
(metal clanging)

349
00:19:50,250 --> 00:19:51,659
Put those arrows on high.

350
00:19:51,660 --> 00:19:53,560
They'll be of no use to you down here!

351
00:19:54,810 --> 00:19:56,760
It would be very helpful if you stayed.

352
00:19:58,020 --> 00:19:59,493
My road lies another way.

353
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:05,340
(sword scrapes)

354
00:20:05,341 --> 00:20:06,952
Boy!

355
00:20:06,953 --> 00:20:09,000
What's the matter?

356
00:20:09,001 --> 00:20:10,760
What is this?

357
00:20:10,761 --> 00:20:12,509
Bring it up! I'll bring it up.

358
00:20:12,510 --> 00:20:15,160
If there is to be a battle, I'll fight for my king.

359
00:20:16,499 --> 00:20:17,369
(cart clattering)

360
00:20:17,370 --> 00:20:18,839
Nay.

361
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,619
Nay! Not for another summer yet.

362
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:25,413
I'll do my part, My Lord, like every other man here.

363
00:20:26,750 --> 00:20:29,917
(soldiers chattering)

364
00:20:31,950 --> 00:20:35,459
Aid the archers at the top of the tower, the very top,

365
00:20:35,460 --> 00:20:37,079
you guard their backs.

366
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,652
Yes?

367
00:20:38,653 --> 00:20:41,909
(knife scrapes)

368
00:20:41,910 --> 00:20:42,933
Guard their backs.

369
00:20:46,397 --> 00:20:47,879
Yes, now. (laughs)

370
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,112
Here, let me help you with this.

371
00:20:49,113 --> 00:20:50,579
Stop your trembling!

372
00:20:50,580 --> 00:20:53,849
Take heart, you people of the Island of the Mighty,

373
00:20:53,850 --> 00:20:56,973
for the soul of Britain is stirring again.

374
00:20:59,226 --> 00:21:00,059
Dafyd?

375
00:21:01,632 --> 00:21:03,708
(airy wistful music)

376
00:21:03,709 --> 00:21:05,255
Merlin!

377
00:21:05,256 --> 00:21:06,088
Dafyd!

378
00:21:06,089 --> 00:21:08,089
My Lord, you're alive!

379
00:21:09,062 --> 00:21:14,062
To see you after all these years. (sobs)

380
00:21:16,392 --> 00:21:19,751
But you have not altered a whit.

381
00:21:19,752 --> 00:21:24,752
(airy wistful music continues)
(soldiers chattering)

382
00:21:26,090 --> 00:21:30,246
Dafyd, what is this?
(shackles rattle)

383
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:32,830
(Dafyd groans)

384
00:21:36,157 --> 00:21:38,740
Why is this holy man in chains?

385
00:21:45,450 --> 00:21:46,979
For treason.

386
00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:51,220
We hoped to appeal to the High King in Jesu's name

387
00:21:52,140 --> 00:21:53,939
to show charity for the women

388
00:21:53,940 --> 00:21:57,089
and children displaced by the raiding Saecsen.

389
00:21:57,090 --> 00:21:58,889
I will not be lectured to

390
00:21:58,890 --> 00:22:01,983
by worshipers of some sand-starved lunatic.

391
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:04,833
He was not persuaded.

392
00:22:08,187 --> 00:22:09,754
(Dafyd sobbing)

393
00:22:09,755 --> 00:22:12,029
Of all of your many sins, Vortigern,

394
00:22:12,030 --> 00:22:15,213
keeping this man from his work is chief among them.

395
00:22:16,140 --> 00:22:17,290
That's very doubtful.

396
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:21,693
Free these men if you would save your soul.

397
00:22:24,270 --> 00:22:25,233
Save my soul?

398
00:22:27,024 --> 00:22:28,409
(Vortigern scoffs)

399
00:22:28,410 --> 00:22:29,603
Keep it tight then!

400
00:22:31,063 --> 00:22:32,163
I will not!

401
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,920
Then I will claim the reward that you have offered me.

402
00:22:37,170 --> 00:22:41,463
Free these men and our debt is paid.

403
00:22:42,789 --> 00:22:45,956
(soldiers chattering)

404
00:22:51,621 --> 00:22:54,454
(Vortigern roars)

405
00:23:02,299 --> 00:23:05,279
(shackles rattling)

406
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,350
You are a taxing man...

407
00:23:10,256 --> 00:23:11,089
Merlin Emrys.

408
00:23:12,510 --> 00:23:17,510
And yet there are few enough who will speak plainly to me.

409
00:23:20,283 --> 00:23:22,671
Thatching! Thatching!

410
00:23:22,672 --> 00:23:24,255
Out past that gate.

411
00:23:25,740 --> 00:23:28,039
Farewell, Vortigern.

412
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,283
We will not meet again.

413
00:23:33,330 --> 00:23:36,365
Goodbye, Merlin.

414
00:23:36,366 --> 00:23:41,366
(brooding enchanted music)
(hooves clopping)

415
00:23:50,106 --> 00:23:51,021
(arrow thuds)
Ugh!

416
00:23:51,022 --> 00:23:53,772
(horse whinnies)

417
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:56,793
Daned!

418
00:23:58,232 --> 00:23:59,064
(horse snorts)

419
00:23:59,065 --> 00:24:01,815
(horse whinnies)

420
00:24:03,928 --> 00:24:06,309
(sword scrapes)

421
00:24:06,310 --> 00:24:07,143
Who's there?

422
00:24:09,112 --> 00:24:12,195
(gentle tense music)

423
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:14,463
Show yourself!

424
00:24:16,050 --> 00:24:19,000
I wouldn't expect a warrior to turn his back on an enemy.

425
00:24:23,115 --> 00:24:23,948
And now?

426
00:24:25,218 --> 00:24:27,244
And now we know you're no warrior.

427
00:24:27,245 --> 00:24:31,661
(fist pounds)
(body thuds)

428
00:24:31,662 --> 00:24:34,829
(soldiers chattering)

429
00:24:37,069 --> 00:24:42,069
(swords clanging)
(fighters grunting)

430
00:24:42,776 --> 00:24:44,509
(Dafyd grunts)

431
00:24:44,510 --> 00:24:46,653
Do I look too old to mount a horse?

432
00:24:47,886 --> 00:24:50,469
(Dafyd grunts)

433
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,175
I know.

434
00:24:53,176 --> 00:24:54,008
(horse whinnies)

435
00:24:54,009 --> 00:24:56,519
I know!
(enchanted flute music)

436
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,563
But look at you, Myrddin Bach.

437
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,109
You are the flower of your race.

438
00:25:04,110 --> 00:25:07,170
Praise God for your long life.

439
00:25:07,171 --> 00:25:08,973
(fighter grunting)

440
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:11,426
(Dafyd laughing)

441
00:25:11,427 --> 00:25:14,367
(wood swords clacking)
(fighters grunting)

442
00:25:14,368 --> 00:25:17,785
(cheerful wistful music)

443
00:25:19,552 --> 00:25:24,552
(wood swords clacking)
(fighters grunting)

444
00:25:26,062 --> 00:25:28,693
(body thuds)
(Hawk grunts)

445
00:25:28,694 --> 00:25:30,719
That is enough combat for today, Hawk.

446
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,629
Why must you torment me with Latin?

447
00:25:33,630 --> 00:25:35,819
Because the word of the true God is sharper,

448
00:25:35,820 --> 00:25:37,499
even than the two-edged sword.

449
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:39,239
Tell that to the Picti!

450
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,639
Tell that to the Irish raider!

451
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,789
I will learn Latin when I'm old like Hafgan.

452
00:25:44,790 --> 00:25:47,566
How old do you think me, Myrddin Bach:?

453
00:25:47,567 --> 00:25:50,279
You're as old as the oak on Shrine Hill.

454
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,723
Not quite as old as that.

455
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,723
But what is age to you, hmm?

456
00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:57,689
You will grow to be as old as any oak

457
00:25:57,690 --> 00:25:59,639
in the Island of the Mighty.

458
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,589
Does that mean I'll be king forever?

459
00:26:01,590 --> 00:26:02,423
Mm!

460
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,522
'Tis a great thing to be a king, Hawk.

461
00:26:06,523 --> 00:26:07,983
A very great thing indeed.

462
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,993
But there is authority of a kind even kings must bend to.

463
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,729
Discover this, and whether you wear a torc of gold

464
00:26:17,730 --> 00:26:19,709
or a beggar's rags,

465
00:26:19,710 --> 00:26:22,743
you will earn the name Ambrosius.

466
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,860
What does that mean?

467
00:26:26,166 --> 00:26:27,899
Hmm.
(birds singing)

468
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:31,088
Study your Latin.

469
00:26:33,943 --> 00:26:35,531
(raiders shouting)

470
00:26:35,532 --> 00:26:36,365
Stay!

471
00:26:38,679 --> 00:26:40,769
(dramatic suspenseful music)

472
00:26:40,770 --> 00:26:41,603
Merlin!

473
00:26:42,711 --> 00:26:45,878
(soldiers chattering)

474
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:48,299
We must ride.

475
00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:49,700
Vortigern's end is upon him!

476
00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:53,822
Where would you have us go, My Lord?

477
00:26:53,823 --> 00:26:56,307
Does Pendaran still reign in Maridunum?

478
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:04,285
King Pendaran joined his fathers many years ago, Hawk.

479
00:27:07,050 --> 00:27:08,700
Your grandparents too, My Lord.

480
00:27:11,063 --> 00:27:12,230
King Elphin...

481
00:27:13,419 --> 00:27:15,710
Lady Rhonwyn, Cuall...

482
00:27:17,378 --> 00:27:18,295
And Hafgan.

483
00:27:20,460 --> 00:27:21,293
Fool.

484
00:27:23,460 --> 00:27:25,769
Lurking up there in your hovel,

485
00:27:25,770 --> 00:27:27,720
haunting the rock wastes like a wraith.

486
00:27:29,610 --> 00:27:32,913
Did you not know that men mark their years differently?

487
00:27:36,450 --> 00:27:38,552
Does Custennin still rule Celyddon?

488
00:27:38,553 --> 00:27:40,593
His Atlantian Blood is strong!

489
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,432
But we would-

490
00:27:43,433 --> 00:27:47,609
We would not be welcome there.

491
00:27:47,610 --> 00:27:48,803
No, My Lord.

492
00:27:51,690 --> 00:27:54,550
Go back the way you came. (laughs)

493
00:27:56,007 --> 00:27:57,873
I'm not sure what that means.

494
00:27:59,490 --> 00:28:00,323
Neither am I.

495
00:28:01,844 --> 00:28:04,677
(horn trumpeting)

496
00:28:06,540 --> 00:28:09,622
(arrows whooshing)
(arrows whistling)

497
00:28:09,623 --> 00:28:10,456
Cover!

498
00:28:11,808 --> 00:28:16,808
(arrows whooshing)
(soldiers screaming)

499
00:28:17,996 --> 00:28:21,079
(heartbeat thumping)

500
00:28:22,722 --> 00:28:24,193
Now!

501
00:28:24,194 --> 00:28:29,194
(hooves clopping)
(soldiers screaming)

502
00:28:30,540 --> 00:28:33,290
(horse whinnies)

503
00:28:34,231 --> 00:28:36,981
(dramatic music)

504
00:28:42,050 --> 00:28:45,633
(dramatic music continues)

505
00:28:48,716 --> 00:28:49,566
(airy tense music)

506
00:28:49,567 --> 00:28:51,093
Deserters already?

507
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:54,533
Let them fly.

508
00:28:55,860 --> 00:28:57,869
The battle is before us.

509
00:28:57,870 --> 00:29:00,470
And if one of them is the usurper himself?

510
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:08,700
It must be me who takes the tower.

511
00:29:13,580 --> 00:29:15,599
(sword slices)

512
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,480
For justice.

513
00:29:17,612 --> 00:29:18,779
For Britain.

514
00:29:21,634 --> 00:29:23,029
(hooves clopping)

515
00:29:23,030 --> 00:29:25,503
(horse whinnies)

516
00:29:25,504 --> 00:29:27,894
(sword slices)
Archers!

517
00:29:27,895 --> 00:29:32,895
(gate banging)
(soldiers chattering)

518
00:29:33,260 --> 00:29:35,798
(arrows whooshing)
(arrows thudding)

519
00:29:35,799 --> 00:29:38,870
They have come for blood!

520
00:29:38,871 --> 00:29:40,950
Give them blood!

521
00:29:40,951 --> 00:29:44,865
(gate crashes)
(soldiers screaming)

522
00:29:44,866 --> 00:29:49,866
(swords clanging)
(soldiers chattering angrily)

523
00:29:52,812 --> 00:29:57,812
(swords clanging)
(bodies thudding)

524
00:30:02,679 --> 00:30:05,762
(soldiers screaming)

525
00:30:07,681 --> 00:30:10,646
(swords slicing)

526
00:30:10,647 --> 00:30:12,513
(horse whinnies)

527
00:30:12,514 --> 00:30:14,611
Where is the king?

528
00:30:14,612 --> 00:30:16,402
Vortigern!

529
00:30:16,403 --> 00:30:18,249
(swords clanging)
(soldiers screaming)

530
00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:19,454
Yah!

531
00:30:19,455 --> 00:30:21,161
Yah! Yah!

532
00:30:21,162 --> 00:30:24,222
(body slams)
(Vortigern grunts)

533
00:30:24,223 --> 00:30:29,223
(swords clanging)
(soldiers chattering)

534
00:30:32,296 --> 00:30:35,296
(Vortigern screams)

535
00:30:36,852 --> 00:30:38,568
(sword slices)
Yah!

536
00:30:38,569 --> 00:30:43,569
(swords clanging)
(soldiers screaming)

537
00:30:49,247 --> 00:30:50,997
Vortigern! Vortigern!

538
00:30:53,887 --> 00:30:56,387
(head cracks)

539
00:30:57,258 --> 00:30:58,091
Vortigern!

540
00:30:59,907 --> 00:31:04,907
(Vortigern gasps)
(door slams)

541
00:31:07,114 --> 00:31:08,382
Hold the door!

542
00:31:08,383 --> 00:31:11,300
(soldier grunting)

543
00:31:12,383 --> 00:31:17,383
(tense eerie music)
(soldiers grunting)

544
00:31:20,258 --> 00:31:22,523
(body thuds)

545
00:31:22,524 --> 00:31:23,883
(door slams)

546
00:31:23,884 --> 00:31:28,884
(knife slices)
(Vortigern gasps)

547
00:31:30,777 --> 00:31:33,860
(soldiers screaming)

548
00:31:35,769 --> 00:31:40,769
(Vortigern grunting)
(mournful enchanted music)

549
00:31:43,609 --> 00:31:48,609
(soldiers screaming)
(soldiers grunting)

550
00:31:55,150 --> 00:31:58,520
(soldiers grunting)
(bodies thudding)

551
00:31:58,521 --> 00:32:00,333
I need help! Help me!
(fire crackling)

552
00:32:00,334 --> 00:32:03,224
The cart! Bring the cart! Bring it!

553
00:32:03,225 --> 00:32:06,285
(cart slams)

554
00:32:06,286 --> 00:32:09,036
(fire whooshing)

555
00:32:15,246 --> 00:32:18,091
(soldiers screaming)

556
00:32:18,092 --> 00:32:19,509
Let the fox burn!

557
00:32:21,305 --> 00:32:23,139
(soldiers screaming)

558
00:32:23,140 --> 00:32:24,845
Ah!

559
00:32:24,846 --> 00:32:27,458
(knife slices)

560
00:32:27,459 --> 00:32:30,584
(Vortigern pants)

561
00:32:30,585 --> 00:32:35,002
(mournful enchanted music continues)

562
00:32:39,832 --> 00:32:42,749
(Vortigern groans)

563
00:32:44,441 --> 00:32:49,441
(fire crackling)
(soldiers hollering)

564
00:32:53,262 --> 00:32:57,679
(mournful enchanted music continues)

565
00:32:59,364 --> 00:33:03,197
(Vortigern breathing raspily)

566
00:33:08,728 --> 00:33:12,547
(Vortigern breathing raspily)

567
00:33:12,548 --> 00:33:16,965
(mournful enchanted music continues)

568
00:33:18,436 --> 00:33:23,436
(soldiers hollering)
(fire crackling)

569
00:33:25,335 --> 00:33:28,168
(arrows thudding)

570
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,773
Thus ends the reign of Vortigern,

571
00:33:32,910 --> 00:33:34,413
High King of Britain.

572
00:33:35,629 --> 00:33:38,379
(birds chirping)

573
00:33:39,864 --> 00:33:42,864
(suspenseful music)

574
00:33:45,330 --> 00:33:49,410
Hail Uther, son of Constans!

575
00:33:49,411 --> 00:33:53,762
(suspenseful music crescendos)

576
00:33:53,763 --> 00:33:56,930
(airy haunting music)

577
00:34:03,191 --> 00:34:08,191
(footsteps crunching)
(metal clinking)

578
00:34:11,776 --> 00:34:15,776
(airy haunting music continues)

579
00:34:16,963 --> 00:34:19,639
With me, thanks.

580
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,807
(soldiers chattering)

581
00:34:24,877 --> 00:34:29,017
Aurelius!

582
00:34:30,285 --> 00:34:31,118
Aurelius!

583
00:34:32,109 --> 00:34:32,942
Aurelius!

584
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,033
Aurelius!

585
00:34:36,225 --> 00:34:37,058
Aurelius!

586
00:34:38,691 --> 00:34:39,524
Aurelius!

587
00:34:40,931 --> 00:34:41,764
Aurelius!

588
00:34:42,956 --> 00:34:43,789
Aurelius!

589
00:34:44,963 --> 00:34:45,796
Aurelius!

590
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,313
Aurelius!

591
00:34:50,029 --> 00:34:50,862
Aurelius!

592
00:34:52,969 --> 00:34:55,615
(soldiers cheering)

593
00:34:55,616 --> 00:34:57,033
Hail, Aurelius.

594
00:34:58,467 --> 00:35:03,467
(fire crackling)
(Uther panting)

595
00:35:08,838 --> 00:35:11,921
(crown thuds gently)

596
00:35:14,636 --> 00:35:16,328
(Uther panting)

597
00:35:16,329 --> 00:35:18,912
(knife slices)

598
00:35:23,350 --> 00:35:26,017
(Uther gasping)

599
00:35:29,846 --> 00:35:31,096
An ugly gash.

600
00:35:32,278 --> 00:35:33,445
For Britain.

601
00:35:34,353 --> 00:35:37,589
I've never seen my brother bested in battle before.

602
00:35:37,590 --> 00:35:39,119
He fought well.

603
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,079
And my men?

604
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,983
Alive, sire, though somewhat worse for wear.

605
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,009
Sire?

606
00:35:47,010 --> 00:35:49,649
Fashionable honorific for a High King, is it not?

607
00:35:49,650 --> 00:35:51,479
You think me High King?

608
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,599
Do not all the kings of Britain sing your praise this day?

609
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,479
I can think of a few singing their own praises.

610
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,459
Some men who marched up with me only hours ago.

611
00:35:59,460 --> 00:36:00,899
Hmm!

612
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:01,732
Well, what does it matter

613
00:36:01,733 --> 00:36:04,529
what a few self-important grumblers think?

614
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:07,846
Because I need every single one of them to defeat Hengist.

615
00:36:07,847 --> 00:36:09,663
Ah! The Saecsen king.

616
00:36:10,590 --> 00:36:12,299
Those grumblers are all that stand between

617
00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:13,800
my rump on the throne and his.

618
00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:18,399
Yours is the preferred rump, My King.

619
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,379
(Pelleas chuckles)

620
00:36:19,380 --> 00:36:22,563
My Lord Brother, you've only just met this man.

621
00:36:24,090 --> 00:36:24,923
Only just met?

622
00:36:26,186 --> 00:36:29,159
(fire crackling)
(airy enchanted music)

623
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,310
Oh, I think not, Uther.

624
00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:34,540
I've known Merlin a very long time.

625
00:36:35,883 --> 00:36:38,909
Merlin? (laughs)

626
00:36:38,910 --> 00:36:39,933
That's impossible.

627
00:36:41,130 --> 00:36:43,683
Merlin was a myth before our father was even born.

628
00:36:45,660 --> 00:36:46,810
And yet...

629
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:49,679
Well done, Aurelius.

630
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,130
Perhaps you have the makings of a king after all.

631
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,527
(soldiers chattering)

632
00:37:00,090 --> 00:37:01,199
Three of the Southern kings

633
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,299
never returned to camp this morning.

634
00:37:03,300 --> 00:37:06,269
Yet they're happy enough to see you challenge Vortigern.

635
00:37:06,270 --> 00:37:07,103
Aye!

636
00:37:08,130 --> 00:37:10,229
Doesn't mean they're happy to see me High king.

637
00:37:10,230 --> 00:37:13,529
Hmm! It's worse than I thought.

638
00:37:13,530 --> 00:37:16,503
700 men is not a man too many to face Hengist.

639
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:19,073
Traitor!

640
00:37:23,460 --> 00:37:25,863
How quickly you trade one master for another.

641
00:37:29,460 --> 00:37:30,293
Meddler!

642
00:37:31,798 --> 00:37:33,629
You know this man?

643
00:37:33,630 --> 00:37:36,480
Aurelius, your prisoner is Prince Pascent ap Vortigern,

644
00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:39,243
son of your fallen foe.

645
00:37:40,650 --> 00:37:42,029
We thought him a mere scout.

646
00:37:42,030 --> 00:37:43,863
You killed my father, bastard.

647
00:37:45,206 --> 00:37:49,011
(wind howls gently)

648
00:37:49,012 --> 00:37:52,949
(tense enchanted music)

649
00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:56,996
Your father killed our father.

650
00:37:56,997 --> 00:37:58,203
The debt is now paid.

651
00:37:59,670 --> 00:38:00,503
And mine?

652
00:38:01,620 --> 00:38:03,519
Who will pay the blood price to Pascent?

653
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:04,447
(sword slices)

654
00:38:04,448 --> 00:38:06,047
The devil pay you!

655
00:38:06,048 --> 00:38:07,465
Uther, brother.

656
00:38:08,460 --> 00:38:10,679
We came here for justice.

657
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,893
Really? Because I thought we came here for Britain.

658
00:38:15,030 --> 00:38:16,649
And every day this scum draws breath,

659
00:38:16,650 --> 00:38:18,269
he's a threat to your reign.

660
00:38:18,270 --> 00:38:20,549
Your brother is right, sire.

661
00:38:20,550 --> 00:38:22,563
Vortigern's son is not a forgiving man.

662
00:38:26,010 --> 00:38:28,859
And yet I will not start my reign a murderer,

663
00:38:28,860 --> 00:38:29,710
as Vortigern did.

664
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,133
(Uther spits violently)

665
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:40,043
(sword slices)

666
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:49,864
(rope slices)

667
00:38:49,865 --> 00:38:52,615
I give to you your life, Pascent.

668
00:38:53,728 --> 00:38:55,678
Do not give me a cause to take it back.

669
00:39:02,208 --> 00:39:05,375
(soldiers chattering)

670
00:39:09,494 --> 00:39:12,077
(sword clacks)

671
00:39:14,790 --> 00:39:17,253
You've made a grave mistake, brother.

672
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,951
And if so, it is mine to make.

673
00:39:22,952 --> 00:39:26,035
(airy pensive music)

674
00:39:31,598 --> 00:39:35,598
(airy pensive music crescendos)

675
00:39:38,914 --> 00:39:42,247
(sword scraping slowly)

676
00:39:46,576 --> 00:39:48,086
He's coming!

677
00:39:48,087 --> 00:39:50,163
How came you by this blade?

678
00:39:54,570 --> 00:39:55,403
Grandfather!

679
00:39:56,965 --> 00:39:58,938
Grandfather, he's coming!

680
00:39:58,939 --> 00:40:01,689
(cheerful music)

681
00:40:08,059 --> 00:40:09,082
(horse neighs)

682
00:40:09,083 --> 00:40:10,166
Is he a king?

683
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:13,127
He's more than a king.

684
00:40:16,995 --> 00:40:17,827
(diners chattering)

685
00:40:17,828 --> 00:40:20,309
Boy has the eyes of a preying bird.

686
00:40:20,310 --> 00:40:22,079
Stand up straight, lad.

687
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,019
You're being addressed by the Dux Britanniarum,

688
00:40:25,020 --> 00:40:27,543
commander of all the Roman forces in Britain.

689
00:40:29,037 --> 00:40:31,439
(diners chattering)

690
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,583
I knew your father.

691
00:40:35,490 --> 00:40:37,079
Tell me, boy,

692
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,930
what does the son of Taliesin see with those golden eyes?

693
00:40:40,814 --> 00:40:43,501
(diners chattering)

694
00:40:43,502 --> 00:40:46,419
(commander scoffs)

695
00:40:49,454 --> 00:40:51,352
I see a sword.

696
00:40:51,353 --> 00:40:53,279
(gentle tense music)

697
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,179
The hilt is silver

698
00:40:54,180 --> 00:40:56,493
and bears a purple gem carved like an eagle.

699
00:40:57,420 --> 00:41:00,024
It's is an emperor's sword.

700
00:41:00,025 --> 00:41:01,775
An emperor's sword?

701
00:41:02,610 --> 00:41:03,989
That's enough, lad!

702
00:41:03,990 --> 00:41:05,140
What else do you see?

703
00:41:06,090 --> 00:41:11,090
I see a ring of kings standing like stones in a circle.

704
00:41:13,170 --> 00:41:14,943
A woman kneels in their midst.

705
00:41:15,870 --> 00:41:18,033
She holds the sword in her hands.

706
00:41:19,650 --> 00:41:23,163
She is speaking but no one hears her, no one listens.

707
00:41:25,020 --> 00:41:26,210
I see the blade...

708
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,063
Rusting and forgotten.

709
00:41:32,033 --> 00:41:36,539
(airy tense music crescendos)

710
00:41:36,540 --> 00:41:38,090
Shall we have a song, Hafgan?

711
00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:43,224
Indeed we shall.

712
00:41:43,225 --> 00:41:46,225
(diners chattering)

713
00:41:51,566 --> 00:41:52,399
Be safe!

714
00:41:53,454 --> 00:41:58,454
(footsteps marching)
(airy ethereal music)

715
00:42:02,585 --> 00:42:06,585
(airy ethereal music continues)

716
00:42:08,067 --> 00:42:11,064
(cloak whooshes)

717
00:42:11,065 --> 00:42:14,148
(footsteps marching)

718
00:42:18,325 --> 00:42:21,408
(footsteps marching)

719
00:42:22,605 --> 00:42:27,162
(wind blowing gently)
(bird singing)

720
00:42:27,163 --> 00:42:29,613
I never saw Maximus or his sword again.

721
00:42:33,330 --> 00:42:34,797
A remarkable story.

722
00:42:34,798 --> 00:42:36,543
Aye! If it were true!

723
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:41,780
The sword belonged to my father.

724
00:42:42,630 --> 00:42:45,989
How he came by it, I cannot say.

725
00:42:45,990 --> 00:42:46,823
I do know this.

726
00:42:49,027 --> 00:42:49,859
The paths that brought us together

727
00:42:49,860 --> 00:42:51,243
began long before this day.

728
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,510
I will trust you, Merlin Ambrosius.

729
00:42:58,620 --> 00:43:00,728
I would have you my counselor.

730
00:43:00,729 --> 00:43:01,561
(Uther sighs)

731
00:43:01,562 --> 00:43:02,394
By the gods!

732
00:43:02,395 --> 00:43:03,745
I need an advisor, Uther!

733
00:43:04,830 --> 00:43:07,586
We're not exactly neck-deep in volunteers.

734
00:43:07,587 --> 00:43:12,587
(soldiers chattering)
(soldiers laughing)

735
00:43:14,723 --> 00:43:17,339
(enchanted tense music)

736
00:43:17,340 --> 00:43:18,837
Very well, Aurelius.

737
00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:25,559
Let it be as you say and heed the word of your counselors.

738
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,083
The Southern kings will continue to desert you.

739
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,409
Dismiss them.

740
00:43:31,410 --> 00:43:32,403
The hell we will!

741
00:43:33,465 --> 00:43:34,298
Uther.

742
00:43:35,430 --> 00:43:36,359
Go on.

743
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,909
Let them return to their own land and see for themselves

744
00:43:38,910 --> 00:43:40,810
what the Saecsen raiders have wrought.

745
00:43:41,730 --> 00:43:45,269
Their own people will demand to unite under your banner.

746
00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:47,553
I have friends in the west and north.

747
00:43:48,690 --> 00:43:51,689
I believe we can count them among your supporters.

748
00:43:51,690 --> 00:43:52,970
Master Merlin, I...

749
00:43:55,140 --> 00:43:58,539
I will ride to them and rally them to your cause.

750
00:43:58,540 --> 00:43:59,579
And what are we supposed to do

751
00:43:59,580 --> 00:44:02,609
while you play king-making, Merlin?

752
00:44:02,610 --> 00:44:05,510
I know a place you'll be safe while we build our forces.

753
00:44:08,610 --> 00:44:10,773
This is where it begins.

754
00:44:13,250 --> 00:44:14,493
First, there is a sword.

755
00:44:15,810 --> 00:44:20,810
The sword of Britain and the sword is Britain.

756
00:44:21,561 --> 00:44:25,811
(enchanted tense music crescendos)

757
00:44:29,942 --> 00:44:34,942
(bright enchanted music)
(hooves clopping)

758
00:44:42,083 --> 00:44:46,333
(bright enchanted music continues)

759
00:44:53,283 --> 00:44:58,283
(crickets chirping)
(mallet pounding)

760
00:45:02,203 --> 00:45:04,703
(Dafyd sighs)

761
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,531
It is the answer to many prayers, Merlin,

762
00:45:09,532 --> 00:45:12,367
seeing you again.

763
00:45:12,368 --> 00:45:14,724
(crickets chirping)

764
00:45:14,725 --> 00:45:17,475
(fire crackling)

765
00:45:24,210 --> 00:45:25,930
It's usually you who sets camp

766
00:45:27,300 --> 00:45:28,700
while I stare into the fire.

767
00:45:29,970 --> 00:45:32,403
I fear this plan, My Lord.

768
00:45:33,818 --> 00:45:36,269
The Cymry king will be threatened by your return,

769
00:45:36,270 --> 00:45:37,469
and the north will not help you.

770
00:45:37,470 --> 00:45:41,283
Aurelius has the sword of Magnus Maximus, Pelleas.

771
00:45:42,906 --> 00:45:44,573
The Emperor's Sword.

772
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,073
If you return North, Custennin will not help you.

773
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,739
This is how the Summer Kingdom begins.

774
00:45:52,740 --> 00:45:54,490
My Lord, Custennin will kill you!

775
00:45:56,325 --> 00:45:59,242
(knife scratching)

776
00:46:00,243 --> 00:46:01,713
I've seen how you struggle.

777
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:05,763
I've never known your awen to burden you so much.

778
00:46:11,010 --> 00:46:12,910
I'm not the man I once was, Pelleas.

779
00:46:14,008 --> 00:46:15,639
(fire crackling)

780
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,557
(knife scratching)

781
00:46:21,654 --> 00:46:26,539
(birds singing)
(knife scratching)

782
00:46:26,540 --> 00:46:29,790
(gentle wistful music)

783
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:38,133
Hafgan's harp!

784
00:46:41,580 --> 00:46:43,130
Your own one was...

785
00:46:45,060 --> 00:46:45,893
I know.

786
00:46:47,609 --> 00:46:51,692
(gentle wistful music continues)

787
00:46:53,742 --> 00:46:55,492
I don't remember how.

788
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,660
Almost 50 years I've carried it.

789
00:47:02,010 --> 00:47:03,460
Still haven't learned a note.

790
00:47:06,542 --> 00:47:07,792
Pelleas, I...

791
00:47:09,103 --> 00:47:11,163
I am not worthy of your sacrifice.

792
00:47:13,020 --> 00:47:14,973
God alone is worthy of such devotion.

793
00:47:17,970 --> 00:47:22,623
As one cares for another, does he not also care for God?

794
00:47:26,370 --> 00:47:27,820
Listen to me carefully now.

795
00:47:29,790 --> 00:47:32,489
You found me and brought me back to the world of men,

796
00:47:32,490 --> 00:47:33,740
and I thank you for that.

797
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:36,832
But...

798
00:47:36,833 --> 00:47:38,253
Let others make their choice!

799
00:47:41,010 --> 00:47:41,883
I have made mine.

800
00:47:46,470 --> 00:47:47,420
Goodnight, My Lord.

801
00:47:52,932 --> 00:47:53,932
Goodnight!

802
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:58,817
My true friend.

803
00:48:01,369 --> 00:48:04,619
(airy enchanted music)

804
00:48:08,036 --> 00:48:09,619
Merlin.

805
00:48:14,329 --> 00:48:18,338
Remember what they did to you, my brother.

806
00:48:18,339 --> 00:48:21,922
(mournful enchanted music)

807
00:48:29,721 --> 00:48:34,138
(mournful enchanted music continues)

808
00:48:41,197 --> 00:48:44,114
(airy tense music)

809
00:48:48,535 --> 00:48:51,797
(leaves rustling)

810
00:48:51,798 --> 00:48:54,217
(knife slices)

811
00:48:54,218 --> 00:48:57,968
(airy tense music continues)

812
00:49:04,348 --> 00:49:08,098
(airy tense music continues)

813
00:49:09,356 --> 00:49:10,956
(Uther grunts)

814
00:49:10,957 --> 00:49:11,790
Ssh!

815
00:49:16,738 --> 00:49:18,625
(footsteps scuffle)

816
00:49:18,626 --> 00:49:22,625
(airy haunting trumpet)

817
00:49:22,626 --> 00:49:25,626
(crickets chirping)

818
00:49:30,849 --> 00:49:34,182
(airy haunting trumpet)

819
00:49:39,607 --> 00:49:42,440
(leaves rustling)

820
00:49:44,589 --> 00:49:47,589
(crickets chirping)

821
00:49:51,981 --> 00:49:54,981
(suspenseful music)

822
00:50:01,389 --> 00:50:05,222
(suspenseful music continues)

823
00:50:08,866 --> 00:50:12,033
(footsteps pattering)

824
00:50:18,193 --> 00:50:22,188
(soldiers chattering in Saecsen)

825
00:50:22,189 --> 00:50:25,356
(footsteps scuffling)

826
00:50:28,909 --> 00:50:31,742
(leaves rustling)

827
00:50:34,178 --> 00:50:39,011
(soldiers speaking in Saecsen)

828
00:50:41,793 --> 00:50:44,524
(wolf howls)

829
00:50:44,525 --> 00:50:47,525
(torches crackling)

830
00:50:51,709 --> 00:50:53,871
(suspenseful music continues)

831
00:50:53,872 --> 00:50:58,455
(soldier speaking in Saecsen)

832
00:51:00,164 --> 00:51:03,997
(suspenseful music continues)

833
00:51:10,938 --> 00:51:14,771
(suspenseful music continues)

834
00:51:18,277 --> 00:51:20,012
(sword scrapes)

835
00:51:20,013 --> 00:51:23,041
(soldier speaking in Saecsen)

836
00:51:23,042 --> 00:51:28,042
(torches crackling)
(crickets chirping)

837
00:51:34,021 --> 00:51:37,021
(torches crackling)

838
00:51:40,311 --> 00:51:43,818
(dramatic music)

839
00:51:43,819 --> 00:51:45,439
(sword slices)
(victim grunts)

840
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,369
(sword slices)
(body thuds)

841
00:51:47,370 --> 00:51:50,772
(victim gasps)
(body thuds)

842
00:51:50,773 --> 00:51:53,523
(victim gasping)

843
00:51:58,922 --> 00:52:00,447
Come!

844
00:52:00,448 --> 00:52:03,698
(haunting tense music)

845
00:52:09,848 --> 00:52:13,931
(haunting tense music continues)

846
00:52:15,501 --> 00:52:18,994
(haunting dramatic music)

847
00:52:18,995 --> 00:52:23,995
(footsteps marching)
(torches crackling)

848
00:52:29,976 --> 00:52:34,309
(haunting dramatic music continues)

849
00:52:39,215 --> 00:52:44,215
(footsteps marching)
(torches crackling)

850
00:52:51,339 --> 00:52:55,672
(haunting dramatic music continues)

851
00:52:58,797 --> 00:53:00,347
Behold your true enemy, O King.

852
00:53:01,709 --> 00:53:02,733
The Saecsen Hengist.

853
00:53:05,850 --> 00:53:07,700
I've never seen so many.

854
00:53:09,176 --> 00:53:11,843
And this but a raiding party fresh from his plunder.

855
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,930
You will not be able to repeal the barbarian on your own.

856
00:53:17,340 --> 00:53:18,640
Wouldn't you agree, Uther?

857
00:53:20,250 --> 00:53:21,779
I'd say we've proven ourselves

858
00:53:21,780 --> 00:53:23,916
more than capable on our own.

859
00:53:23,917 --> 00:53:24,750
Uther!

860
00:53:25,944 --> 00:53:30,539
You slew the usurper Vortigern. Not him.

861
00:53:30,540 --> 00:53:32,490
I burned him alive in a tower, Uther.

862
00:53:34,339 --> 00:53:36,089
I never even met his blade with my own.

863
00:53:36,090 --> 00:53:36,922
Right!

864
00:53:36,923 --> 00:53:39,689
Well, battle isn't about honor, it's about victory.

865
00:53:39,690 --> 00:53:41,879
There will be no victory

866
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,930
without the kings of Britain by our side!

867
00:53:46,381 --> 00:53:48,631
Without Merlin by our side.

868
00:53:50,061 --> 00:53:53,478
(pensive ethereal music)

869
00:54:00,248 --> 00:54:04,498
(pensive ethereal music continues)

870
00:54:06,776 --> 00:54:09,609
(hooves clopping)

871
00:54:15,244 --> 00:54:19,494
(pensive ethereal music continues)

872
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,860
(Dafyd snoring)

873
00:54:23,861 --> 00:54:26,778
(airy tense music)

874
00:54:29,493 --> 00:54:32,076
(Dafyd snorts)

875
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,463
(Dafyd gasps)

876
00:54:39,464 --> 00:54:42,631
(wind blowing gently)

877
00:54:43,891 --> 00:54:44,724
Myrddin?

878
00:54:46,951 --> 00:54:49,053
(dramatic upbeat music)

879
00:54:49,054 --> 00:54:50,375
(horse whinnies)

880
00:54:50,376 --> 00:54:51,209
Myrddin!

881
00:54:53,715 --> 00:54:57,126
(horses whinny)
(hooves clopping)

882
00:54:57,127 --> 00:55:00,377
(airy enchanted music)

883
00:55:06,737 --> 00:55:10,820
(airy enchanted music continues)

884
00:55:14,515 --> 00:55:17,213
May the good God be praised.

885
00:55:17,214 --> 00:55:20,762
What god could build such a place?

886
00:55:20,763 --> 00:55:24,397
Not a god, a king.

887
00:55:26,344 --> 00:55:30,877
Behold Yns Avallach, Hall of the Faery King.

888
00:55:30,878 --> 00:55:34,961
(airy enchanted music continues)

889
00:55:39,816 --> 00:55:41,609
(hooves clop)

890
00:55:41,610 --> 00:55:43,799
Praise the Lord from the high places,

891
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,299
praise him in Halls of Light.

892
00:55:45,300 --> 00:55:46,781
Praise him, all his angels.

893
00:55:46,782 --> 00:55:49,223
Praise him, all you hosts of heaven.

894
00:55:49,224 --> 00:55:50,129
Praise him, sun and moon.

895
00:55:50,130 --> 00:55:51,830
Praise him, all you shining stars.

896
00:55:52,904 --> 00:55:54,749
Praise him, you in the sky realms.

897
00:55:54,750 --> 00:55:57,874
Praise him, you waters above the skies.

898
00:55:57,875 --> 00:55:59,453
Let them all praise the name of the Lord.

899
00:56:02,046 --> 00:56:03,129
Ave, Maria.

900
00:56:07,237 --> 00:56:09,273
Dafyd! You've come home!

901
00:56:11,774 --> 00:56:15,024
(somber wistful music)

902
00:56:16,140 --> 00:56:16,973
Hello, Mother.

903
00:56:18,451 --> 00:56:19,901
(chalice clangs)

904
00:56:19,902 --> 00:56:22,439
Myrddin!

905
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:23,751
(Charis gasps)
(dramatic ethereal music)

906
00:56:23,752 --> 00:56:28,085
(triumphant music)

907
00:56:33,022 --> 00:56:37,355
(triumphant music)

908
00:58:14,260 --> 00:58:15,966
(dramatic suspenseful music)

909
00:58:15,967 --> 00:58:17,466
(hooves clopping)
(armor clanging)

910
00:58:17,467 --> 00:58:20,029
Aurelius's life is in danger.

911
00:58:20,030 --> 00:58:22,759
(fist punches)
(swords slice)

912
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,110
Until the kings of Britain recognize his claim.

913
00:58:26,990 --> 00:58:29,359
Aurelius has defeated the usurper, Vortigern.

914
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,219
He could find sanctuary here

915
00:58:31,220 --> 00:58:33,529
while I ride to rally what friends we have left.

916
00:58:33,530 --> 00:58:35,688
While we ride to rally your friends.

917
00:58:35,689 --> 00:58:36,521
Uther!

918
00:58:36,522 --> 00:58:39,259
To ensure Merlin is not remiss

919
00:58:39,260 --> 00:58:41,010
pushing your claim in other courts.

920
00:58:42,230 --> 00:58:43,592
Fisher King Sword.

921
00:58:43,593 --> 00:58:45,962
The sword of a High King!

922
00:58:45,963 --> 00:58:48,829
I do not offer it to Aurelius.

923
00:58:48,830 --> 00:58:52,519
Merlin, he will take the torc from my father

924
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,073
and declare himself High King before he is through.

925
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,710
