Transcript
00:00:05Merlin Emrys has returned to the land of the living.
00:00:09I had a vision.
00:00:11Two dragons came forth to battle one another.
00:00:14The dragons you have seen are your enemies.
00:00:17White for the Saxon horde,
00:00:19red for the true sons of Britain,
00:00:22whose father you murdered for your crown.
00:00:26Vortigord!
00:00:29This ends the reign of Vortigon, High King of Britain.
00:00:33Take heart, you people of the island of the mighty.
00:00:36Devon?
00:00:39Merlin, to see you after all these years.
00:00:43But you have not altered a wit.
00:00:46I had this sword crafted for my father by the High King's own smith.
00:00:50Perhaps it's best to leave it here.
00:00:54You are the flower of your race.
00:00:56It is a great thing to be a king, Hawk.
00:00:59But there is authority of a kind even kings must bend to.
00:01:02I've known Merlin a very long time.
00:01:04I would help you, my counsellor.
00:01:06Very well, Aurelius.
00:01:08Perhaps you have the makings of a king after all.
00:01:13David, you've come home.
00:01:17Hello, Mother.
00:01:20Mother.
00:01:23I've never seen somebody.
00:01:24There will be no victory without the kings of Britain by our side.
00:01:29Because I need every single one of them to defeat Hengist.
00:01:55Oh, my god.
00:01:56Please.
00:01:56Come here.
00:01:56Come here.
00:01:58Come here.
00:02:00Go.
00:02:00Come here.
00:02:26You switch your locker, and I eat the turtles.
00:02:46This nail I can, your fendich hollos niendena.
00:02:50May you offend them from Harawitcha.
00:02:53Fool!
00:02:56Are you so heavy with drink that you fail to recognize the spawn of Ortigen?
00:03:10Prince Paesan, forgive Alduin's impertinence.
00:03:16And he will be punished.
00:03:20What word from your father?
00:03:23My father is dead.
00:03:28What do you want?
00:03:32My father is dead and I am his heir. High King of the Britons.
00:03:41And yet you ride here, unannounced. No honor guard. No war band.
00:03:51I did not know I needed a war band at my back to meet with an ally.
00:03:54You do if you're going to watch him shit.
00:04:00The sons of Constance have murdered my father.
00:04:04And now they claim his crown.
00:04:08And you want me to help you take it back?
00:04:12They will not be content until they have all of Britain in their grasp.
00:04:17All of Britain.
00:04:19Even now, they turn their eyes east to the Saxon coast.
00:04:32Let us march against these usurpers before they march against you.
00:04:42Why do I need you?
00:04:47You swore to uphold my family's claim when my father let you settle these lands.
00:04:56How a pact was sealed in blood.
00:05:01You will be held to it.
00:05:17The son of Ort again is right.
00:05:20A pact sealed in blood is to be honored.
00:05:26None to death.
00:05:27None to death.
00:07:57Hail the Fisher King.

00:11:18Very well, Uther.
00:11:20If you prefer knights in the saddle
00:11:22to the comfort of Avalaic's palace.
00:11:24You will not be staying then.
00:11:28I'm sorry, mother.
00:11:31My people have seen enough of war and death.
00:11:36The High King of Britain will be safe within these walls.
00:11:41To a future of peace.
00:12:11Thank you, darling.
00:12:15Yes.
00:12:17Darling.
00:12:20Remember what they did to me, my love.

00:14:59who else
00:15:01i would dearly love to spend but a moment in my lord's presence
00:15:06you are fortunate among men
00:15:10go
00:15:14i have been greedy with your time
00:15:18we will discuss these things again
00:15:20when you return
00:15:24you fear for your sins grandfather
00:15:27but surely your sins are no greater than any other man's
00:15:34i had forgotten how much you see with those golden eyes hork
00:15:41yet in truth
00:15:43my sins are too numerous to count
00:15:48and i gave life to morgan
00:16:00i've seen her
00:16:04morgan
00:16:07in the fire
00:16:09in the stars
00:16:14i do not know if god was with me in california all these many years grandfather

00:16:24trust in jesu hork
00:16:28he is the only hope for men like us
00:16:34if hope we have
00:16:36if hope we have
00:17:38Sir, tell me about this place, Meridunum.
00:17:44Built by the Romans in the heart of a plentiful valley, not far from the sea.
00:17:49Your steward has a nasty habit of speaking on your behalf, Merlin.
00:17:54If you were mine, I would have him flogged for impertinence.
00:17:59Yes. Pelaeus speaks as he serves, of his own free will.
00:18:04So you would have him believe.
00:18:07Are you suggesting the Emerus has me spellbound?
00:18:12Your words, boy, not mine.
00:18:15You surprised me, Uther. I didn't take you for one who believed in magic.
00:18:21When a man catches the gaze of a beautiful woman, is that not a form of magic?
00:18:28Or when a king, who cunning and deceit, rests fealty from his people, is that not a sorcery of a
00:18:35kind?
00:18:57I see you. I see you.
00:19:00May that I'm here, come find me.
00:19:02Let's get you.
00:19:04Let's get you.
00:19:06Why don't you?
00:19:07You only hate the world.
00:19:09No.
00:19:09Why do you hesitate?
00:19:11You just...
00:19:11You know what you must do.
00:19:14Master?
00:19:17What is it?
00:19:41You want to go and keep it coming?
00:19:43Yeah.
00:20:10You want to go and keep it coming?
00:20:19A delightful place.
00:20:34Why is your business here?
00:20:36I've come to seek a home I once knew.
00:20:40What home is that?
00:20:43The last time I was here, Pendara and the Red Sword was king.
00:20:51Merthin.
00:20:55Let the minute ones see to their horses.
00:21:11The same raid that took Maelwes took the town.
00:21:16The Tifak to my father, tried to say what he could, but there wasn't much left.
00:21:20And that was the beginning of our troubles.
00:21:24The same story is told throughout these lands.
00:21:27I fear greater threat is coming.
00:21:29Yes, it's a different world since...
00:21:32Well, since you've been away.
00:21:37Will you sit at our table, my lord?
00:21:41Most kind.
00:21:50Because Merlin is the rightful king of Marathon.
00:21:53Because Merlin is the rightful king of Marathon.
00:21:57Allow me to fill your cup, my lord.
00:22:21Bring me my cup.
00:22:24This beast led me deep into the hills, but I could not give up the chase.
00:22:32These days it's rare when I get occasion to knock an arrow.
00:22:34Well, a fine prize, Merrig at Taldryg.
00:22:40Son, meet our guests.
00:22:44Uther, Peleus, and Merthin Emrys.
00:22:57I must say, the brewer's art has reached new heights since I last held a cup such as this.
00:23:02This draught is worthy of any king.
00:23:05You shall have a better bit to take with you.
00:23:07Yes, when you have concluded your business here.
00:23:14What is your business?
00:23:16Perhaps our business is best discussed in the light of day.
00:23:19We are here to garner support for my brother, Aurelius, the High King of Britain.
00:23:27High King?
00:23:29Vortigern has already claimed that title.
00:23:33Vortigern no longer has need of it.
00:23:41Well, I congratulate you on your victory.
00:23:46Over an old man already exhausted and sore beset.
00:23:51The greater challenge lies ahead.
00:23:54The Saxons?
00:23:56And a host of lesser kings who think themselves eminently qualified to bear the ground.
00:24:03And they will have no choice but to fall in line.
00:24:12Won't they?
00:24:16Hear me, Taldryk.
00:24:18The Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the Island of the Mighty.
00:24:23And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne.
00:24:28And he will have it.
00:24:30If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him.
00:24:36We have arms, we have horses, and men who can use them.
00:24:41May you rake.
00:24:43Am I not the commander of our army?
00:24:45Yes, an honor you insist on squandering at every turn.
00:24:47What choice do I have a new orbit tied by?
00:24:49Stop it!
00:24:57The day grows long, and I am not a young man.
00:25:03If we may presume upon your hospitality a while longer.
00:25:08Yes, I shall prepare some rooms for you and your men.
00:25:11Perhaps the emirist would prefer to stay in his old quarters.
00:25:15The king's quarters?
00:25:20Yes, should he wish to.
00:25:22We insist.
00:25:23Thank you, my lady.
00:25:56Merlin, win me a kingdom.
00:26:15Merlin, win me a kingdom.
00:26:19Do you take me for a fool?
00:26:23I do not.
00:26:24Then perhaps you should stop treating me as one.
00:26:28I have promised to raise an army for your brother, Uther.
00:26:31How I conduct my own affairs is not your concern.
00:26:34You may have swayed my brother.
00:26:37But your powers of persuasion will not work with me.
00:26:40Of that I have no doubt.
00:26:42I do not.
00:26:43I do not.
00:26:54I do not.
00:27:03Here we try.
00:27:03I work for you.
00:27:06I do not.
00:27:10You must
00:27:11They will not.
00:27:33Arianne.
00:27:41There you are, my darling.
00:27:43You must hurry along to your studies with Callius.
00:27:46I don't want to study.
00:27:48You must, if you are to advance in your learning.
00:27:52Remember, Urien, your mother knows what's best for you.
00:28:01Off with you.
00:28:12No one seeks our guns, for our aid.
00:28:16All because we live on these distant, godforsaken shores.
00:28:20The greater part of Britain could burn, and we'd been on the wiser.
00:28:23Let it burn. What difference does it make?
00:28:26We are alone and undefended, Father.
00:28:28Should we not seek alliances for the welfare of our kingdom,
00:28:31if we were to appeal to Vortigern?
00:28:33Vortigern is dead.
00:28:39His tower fell to the sons of Constance not two weeks ago.
00:28:43How do you know this?
00:28:45No doubt Aurelius will claim the throne for himself.
00:28:48The soil of these lands is soaked in the blood of would-be kings.
00:28:52Perhaps we should consider pledging our support to Aurelius.
00:29:01My dear lord, have you forgotten the deal we made with the Saxon chief?
00:29:07How could I forget, mother, when I saw strongly opposed our alliance with those savages?
00:29:15Is Hengist a savage?
00:29:18He fights for the interests of his kind, just as Aurelius does.
00:29:23But we are Britons.
00:29:25But we are Britons.
00:29:25We should support our people.
00:29:27Are they?
00:29:28Our people.
00:29:30Emily, a moment ago, you were bemoaning the fact that we were all but forgotten by them.
00:29:37But what do I know of these things?
00:29:39I'm merely a wife and a mother.
00:29:45Still, I cannot help but wonder if there is not a greater strategic advantage for you in the current arrangement.
00:29:56You could be a most valuable ally, to Hengist, to Saxon.
00:30:02The future is Saxon.
00:30:12I trust you slept well with her.
00:30:16Soldier always sleeps with one eye open.
00:30:18That sounds inconvenient.
00:30:20Not as inconvenient as a knife in the back.
00:30:22Come, we're all friends here.
00:30:25Not many an enemy there came in the guise of a friend, Merlin.
00:30:28Ah, my Lord Merthin.
00:30:30I wonder if I might have a word with you.
00:30:35In private.
00:30:38Of course.
00:30:41Do keep Uther out of trouble.
00:30:52Shall we seek out a morsel to eat?
00:31:15Watch it.
00:31:31A cup of your famous mead, friend.
00:31:33We have no mead here, only wine.
00:31:36Then a cup of your famous wine.
00:31:43They water it down, the Roman way.
00:31:49But in good measure, it serves its purpose.
00:32:03Is the war-burned of meridunums spent all its days drinking?
00:32:07Rather than training?
00:32:10But you see, we are training, right here in the darkness of this hovel.
00:32:15With nothing to slake our thirst, but this sorry excuse for wine, eh?
00:32:22To your safe return, after such a long absence.
00:32:34Forgive me if I know not how to receive you.
00:32:38This is your realm, and rightly so, but I have been king here these many years.
00:32:42And your father and his father before you?
00:32:45Yes.
00:32:46And your son is next in line to the throne?
00:32:51Mayeric is more interested in hunting and drinking than in the affairs of our kingdom.
00:32:55And yet he is your battle, chief.
00:32:59It is a wonder how he has time for leisure, given the frequency of the raids.
00:33:07Yours is a fruitful land, Taldrigg, yet your fields are stripped, your walls are broken,
00:33:14provisions are strained even at the king's table.
00:33:18But whose hand do you suffer this injustice?
00:33:22Not the Saxon, surely, for you would not have lived to tell the tale.
00:33:31Mocans of the Belgae.
00:33:33He's been bleeding the neighboring lands of grain and cattle for the better part of a year.
00:33:38Like a ravenous bear, Tenton, slumbering through the long winter.
00:33:43Why?
00:33:43He knows war with the Saxon is coming.
00:33:49And he intends to wait it out with ample provisions to spare.
00:33:54And you allow him to take from you?
00:33:56His men outnumber us two to one.
00:33:58So you let your people starve?
00:34:00I am not willing to lead my people to destruction.
00:34:03It is because you're not willing to lead them that the destruction is at hand.
00:34:08We cannot fight him.
00:34:10But fight him we would!
00:34:11Hey!
00:34:12We'd rather suffer the sword, opposing that snake, than let him take what's right for
00:34:17the Ares!
00:34:18Yeah!
00:34:20You've told your father as much?
00:34:22My father's too proud to heed our counsel.
00:34:26I'm ashamed, Mothin.
00:34:28I admit it.
00:34:32But I saw no other way.
00:34:38I often question whether I'm worthy to wear the talk.
00:34:44If I am a king, I'm not a very good one.
00:34:53My father must have good reason to let this insult go unanswered.
00:34:58No king would suffer such humiliation, Miley.
00:35:02But whatever his reason, it would not matter for long.
00:35:05My family has ruled this kingdom for the last three generations.
00:35:10Now, Mothin returns to claim his throne and we can hardly stand in his way.
00:35:17He is but one man.
00:35:22What?
00:35:25Do you not know?
00:35:41Painted by a fairy woman many years ago, or so the story is told.
00:35:48They say Mothin slew seventy men with his own hands within these very gates.
00:35:54At Gathe, at Gathe, he slew five hundred.
00:36:02No man is capable of such a thing.
00:36:05No mortal man.
00:36:07They say when the Arwen falls upon him, he is given strength from heaven.
00:36:12The world stops.
00:36:14Perhaps none can stand before him.
00:36:18I can assure you, friends, that the only thing that matters in battle is brute strength.
00:36:27Magic is for druids and bald women.
00:36:33Perhaps.
00:36:36But he is legend in these lands.
00:36:40He is more than a king.
00:36:43He is nearly an otherworldly being.
00:36:49He will take the talk from my father and declare himself high king before he is through.
00:36:56And neither you nor the Saxons nor all the armies of Britain and Amorica can hinder him.
00:37:04Unless we stop him here.
00:37:07And now.
00:37:28You must listen to me, Uther.
00:37:31Out of my way.
00:37:33Stuart.
00:37:37I bested you once before.
00:37:39Hmm.
00:37:40Don't make me do it again.
00:37:42You had that aluminum surprise before.
00:37:45Not this time.
00:37:46You thought that was my only surprise?
00:38:08You would attack an unarmed man.
00:38:10You wouldn't attack him.
00:38:12I guess he was good.
00:38:12Don't turn your ax.
00:38:13Time, don't your ax!
00:38:13I got the 다니ous boys, but he didn't steal all theicks andimo ans.
00:38:16for fun to try.
00:38:19This is my kind of gold error is insane.
00:38:25And the awakens.
00:38:25Oh, come on.
00:38:30How Would it be?
00:38:31And it is more like a Staff could.
00:38:35Maybe they're wearing equipment.
00:38:36Wait, she'sっkim to one hit every Ireland on fire.
00:38:50Stop this, Uther.
00:38:52You risk ruining the Emirates' work.
00:38:54That's exactly what I did to do.
00:39:04Oh, no.
00:39:13Uther!
00:39:26Stand up, King Tawdry.
00:39:35You are right that you failed your people.
00:39:40You have let fear rule your heart and govern your actions, and I do, indeed, have every
00:39:45right to reclaim my kingship and take back what is lawfully mine, but I deem it best
00:39:52to let my claim lapse.
00:39:56Too many years have passed for me to take back my throne.
00:40:01Merthen will not be king again in Maradunum, provided you pledge your support to Aurelius.
00:40:14You have my word.
00:40:26Are you quite well, Uther?
00:40:28It is short of wrath, it's all.
00:40:35My warband will not fight for Aurelius, while Morcant threatens our homes.
00:40:40Well, then, it's a good thing we have the Battle Chief of Britain to bring the Belgae to heel.
00:40:47I'm afraid I must decline.
00:40:51Uther?
00:40:52I will join a fight against the Morcant.
00:40:56However, only as a simple soldier.
00:41:00A cunning strategy, Uther, if we survive it.
00:41:05There's nothing like a brisk ride to revive a man.
00:41:08The blessing of men.
00:41:27The best thing.
00:41:40Aesu, receive your own with mercy.
00:41:46Who are they?
00:41:49Britons.
00:41:52From the villages along our eastern border.
00:41:58The Saxon move south and west, killing and plundering.
00:42:05They rarely leave survivors, but when they do, we do what we can to lend aid.
00:42:10Care for the dying.
00:42:13When you could prevent their death.
00:42:16You did what you could.
00:42:18No. No, no, you could have fought.
00:42:22What strength you think we have is an illusion.
00:42:26Each year, our numbers decline.
00:42:31Not a child has been born to us since.
00:42:37Our people are not long for this world.
00:42:41You have weapons like none have seen.
00:42:44Armor to stop the fiercest Saxon blade.
00:42:47As king, my duty is to my people.
00:42:53I cannot fight your war for you, Aurelius.
00:42:56No matter how just the cause.
00:43:01We are too few.
00:43:14Where are the Saxon now?
00:43:27Lord is in line for the throne, after all.
00:43:31And to find king, you will make my son.
00:43:37But, who are we, if not people of our word?
00:43:44I say, Angus makes his men fight to the death for his amusement.
00:43:52You must not believe everything you hear.
00:43:54Lord, Aurelius, on the other hand, is of noble blood.
00:43:59A diplomat.
00:44:01Lord has a point.
00:44:03Is Aurelius not more fit to lead?
00:44:08Who knows who will rule these lands when all is said and done?
00:44:16But if it is your desire to break faith with the Saxons, then he might oppose you.
00:44:23But I admit, I do worry how he will receive you, if word comes to him of your dealings with
00:44:30Hengist.
00:44:31Yes.
00:44:33Yes, we must not have him taking you for a traitor.
00:44:36A traitor?
00:44:37I had not thought of that.
00:44:40Surely anyone suspected of conspiring with the Saxons would be shown no mercy.
00:44:47I'm sure you'll make the right decision.
00:45:04Pray to your God, Merlin.
00:45:08It isn't much of a plan.
00:45:10My God hears the prayers of all who call on his name.
00:45:19Something happened to your eye?
00:45:46You would ride to the village's aid alone.
00:45:51I would try.
00:45:54You are a good man, son of Constance.
00:45:56But foolish.
00:45:58What would you have me do?
00:46:00What kind of king would I be if I let my people be slaughtered?
00:46:03A king who knows his limitations.
00:46:06There will be other battles, Aurelius.
00:46:10You are one man.
00:46:12You don't even know the country.
00:46:18I'm not above asking you to point me in the right direction.
00:46:25I have only one thing to offer my people.
00:46:30Everything.
00:46:31Everything.
00:46:39Our soldiers cannot ride with you to Riantha.
00:46:44But perhaps they will escort their princess on a ride through our easternmost holdings.
00:46:49My lady.
00:46:49But we cannot leave our territory, Aurelius.
00:46:52If you choose to engage the Saxon, you do it alone.
00:46:56I do.
00:47:04I do.
00:47:08I do.
00:47:25I do.
00:47:41Stop there!
00:47:52What is your business here?
00:47:54You Belgae grow fat from the grain plundered from the fields of Maradonum!
00:48:01And?
00:48:02And we're taking it back.
00:48:12No one need die today.
00:48:14Tell your king Merthen-Emrys demands an audience.
00:48:18My king is not so easily summoned.
00:48:20I do not intend to make it easy.
00:48:28My hand.
00:48:29Stop this heart!
00:48:32Stop now!
00:48:34Stop now!
00:48:38Stop now!
00:49:30If I do not return, tell my brother I died a noble death.
00:49:37Go!
00:49:38Go!
00:49:47Go!
00:49:47Go!
00:49:49Go!
00:49:54Go!
00:49:57Go!
00:49:58Go!
00:49:59Go!

00:51:57Go!
00:52:07Go!
00:52:12Go!
00:52:16Go!
00:52:19Go!
00:52:20Oh, dear.
00:52:53Oh, dear.
00:53:32Oh, dear.
00:54:06Thank you, my lady.
00:54:09Don't thank me yet.
00:54:11By the time this night is through,
00:54:13we may both be banished from the Summerlands.
00:54:15Thank you, my friends.
00:54:44I'm enjoying my supper.
00:54:49You know very well who I am, Morkind.
00:54:53I know who you claim to be.
00:54:56But why should I take your word for it?
00:54:59I come with an offer of peace from Uther,
00:55:03battle chief of Britain and brother of High King Aurelius himself.
00:55:08There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
00:55:12Or until the kings of Britain are united as one.
00:55:18If you are the son of Taliesin,
00:55:21your wisdom is exaggerated.
00:55:25You ride with a force half the size of my own against a fortified position.
00:55:30My men will cut down your army in short order.
00:55:34If they have not already.
00:55:36You make war against your brother kings while the Saxon threatens the doom of our people.
00:55:42Who is my brother?
00:55:47Who are my people?
00:55:50I am king of the Belgae.
00:55:52No one else is my concern.
00:55:55And how will you defend the Belgae
00:55:57when the Saxon horde marches across your fields?
00:56:01When was the last time you stood with a naked blade in your hand
00:56:04under the blast of the Saxon war horn
00:56:07while a whole host of Saxon berserkers
00:56:10flew toward you over the battleground?
00:56:16I will be well supplied
00:56:18after I march across every kingdom
00:56:21deserted by kings
00:56:22anxious to fight alongside your battle chief Uther
00:56:26and his fool brother
00:56:29in their fool war.
00:56:32That is where you are wrong.
00:56:36There is to be no war.
00:56:41Uther himself has determined not to engage the Saxon
00:56:45until you return what you have plundered
00:56:47and pledge fealty to Aurelius.
00:56:57If Aurelius does not engage the Saxon
00:56:59he will be high king of nothing.
00:57:06Already this day Uther rides against you.
00:57:09He's the leader of this attack.
00:57:11There is no battle chief to be feared.
00:57:14Indeed.
00:57:16Uther does not command Taldrigg's warband.
00:57:21He rides today a simple soldier.
00:57:27Indistinguishable from any other.
00:57:32You bluff.
00:57:35I do hope your men have been killed him already.
00:57:40Aurelius slew the high king himself
00:57:41to avenge the death of his father.
00:57:45One can only imagine
00:57:46what he might do to you.
00:57:56Stay our archers.
00:57:58Call our warriors back behind the walls.
00:58:00Now!
00:58:06Your plundering is at an end, Morkant.
00:58:09You've abused your power.
00:58:11And now it is time for you to make amends.
00:58:14If you do not,
00:58:17Aurelius will continue to raise his army.
00:58:20But it will not be the Saxon he rides against.
00:58:39My daughter has long had a mind of her own.
00:58:44And I have all but given up,
00:58:46attempting to restrain it.
00:58:49But you,
00:58:51who mean to make yourself high king,
00:58:53should know better.
00:58:55If I do not allow my conscience to guide me,
00:59:00I am unworthy of the crown.
00:59:02You put my people at risk.
00:59:05Your people are at risk already, King Everlag.
00:59:07And we'll be as long as the Saxon
00:59:09have a foothold in this land.
00:59:10Father,
00:59:11the Britons that survived the raid
00:59:12have been brought to the palace.
00:59:13I'm needed.
00:59:25You cannot deliver your people from this threat
00:59:28if you throw your own life away, Aurelius.
00:59:32A king must sometimes make terrible choices.
00:59:37It was foolish.
00:59:40I know.
00:59:41In truth,
00:59:42I'm not ready for what is ahead.
00:59:44The battle against Vortigmous...
00:59:47You aren't?
00:59:48Decisive.
00:59:51I have little enough experience with war.
00:59:54That is abundantly clear.
00:59:56In truth,
00:59:59it was your daughter who saved my life.
01:00:03Yes.
01:00:06She has a way of doing that.
01:00:18You showed great courage today
01:00:21and a great love for the people you would rule.
01:00:25And my God tells me
01:00:27there is no greater love
01:00:30than the willingness to die for others.
01:00:41Keep that up.
01:00:42And you might just become high king after all.
01:00:55Beer.
01:00:58A man of his word is King Taldrigg.
01:01:02Two more Western kings have pledged their fealty to Aurelius.
01:01:06The warbands ride eastward as we speak.
01:01:08Aurelius' legend grows.
01:01:10Oh, yeah.
01:01:11As does your army.
01:01:12Now you must return to your brother.
01:01:15Aurelius and I ride north to Gotha.
01:01:17You must ride alone.
01:01:20Aurelius and I have proven myself
01:01:21to be a pleasant enough travelling companion.
01:01:24Uther, you have proven yourself a cunning strategist
01:01:26and fiercely loyal to your brother.
01:01:29But you must take caution.
01:01:32Your loyalty could be your undoing.
01:01:36More riddles.
01:01:37Perhaps when we next see each other,
01:01:39we can pick up from where we left off.
01:01:41I do admit I did underestimate you, steward.
01:01:46I still think you should be a flog for abatments.
01:02:12It is not safe for you, Angustin, at all.
01:02:16There must be another way.
01:02:24There is no other way.
01:03:08There is no other way.
01:03:12Oh, my God.
01:03:44I will set off at once for the Saxon's camp.
01:03:48That is what you wish.
01:03:50It is.
01:03:51Well done.
01:03:55Wait here.
01:04:20A gift for Hengist.
01:04:24A gift for Hengist.
01:04:40Safe travels, my son.
01:05:06A gift for Hengist.
01:07:12Thank you undisciplined and untrained boys.
01:07:16I have come to ask the Northern Lords to join with them.
01:07:20Are you not the mighty Merlin?
01:07:23Terrible to meet on the field of battle.
01:07:26I've seen what you can do.
