00:06Meet your daughter, Zoe.
00:10And Zoe, meet your father, King Christopher.
00:14Oh my god.
00:16Oh my god.
00:17Is it true, mum?
00:19I have a father?
00:21Yes, baby girl.
00:23It's true.
00:27Dad.
01:01If you were caught with me, my lord, you could lose the crown.
01:05I don't care for anything but you, Sophie.
01:11Get up, my good lord.
01:20My son is not only the pride of this house.
01:23He is the shield of this kingdom.
01:26To the kingdom!
01:28And tomorrow at dawn, he will set out for a fateful battle
01:32to destroy the forces of darkness from the south that threaten our very existence.
01:39Should he return alive, he shall be named heir to the throne and the next king of the kingdom.
01:50Come on.
01:52Please, tell me.
01:54No.
01:55A baby.
01:58I know everything.
02:00I see everything.
02:01Now listen carefully, you little slut.
02:03If you keep this child, if you go to my son, if you so much as whisper this secret to
02:07anyone,
02:07I will see you dragged into the square at sunrise.
02:09I will call you a witch.
02:11And when the people beg for justice, I will burn you alive.
02:14Christopher will be the sole king of the ten kingdoms,
02:16and the only thing that could deny him this destiny is the foul abomination that grows within your womb.
02:21A bastard who would stain our name forever.
02:24Do you truly wish to rob this realm of the greatest king it could ever know?
02:31Once again, you have proven to all that you are the greatest warrior this kingdom has ever known.
02:37And when you return from the great battle beyond the mountains of darkness,
02:41thirty princesses shall await you.
02:43One of whom you will choose to wed and become king.
02:46About that, mother.
02:48There is something I must tell you.
02:50There is someone I love and...
02:52Not now.
02:53I too have something of great importance to show you.
02:56Come.
03:00This is so wrong, but I must make this seem convincing enough.
03:04Make him think I'm cheating on him.
03:13Sophie.
03:15My lord.
03:16It's not what you think.
03:20Give me one good reason not to kill you.
03:22You cannot endanger the kingdom.
03:23If you kill a knight in a fit of jealousy,
03:25you will not lead the army in war.
03:32Why?
03:33I never loved you.
03:35Bullshit!
03:36You're lying!
03:38You're going to war, and then you'll marry a princess.
03:40Not a maid.
03:41At least he can take care of me.
03:45My love.
03:46I had no choice.
03:48Please.
03:49Come back safe.
03:51Maybe one day, I can explain everything.
04:04Aye, servant!
04:05Come here!
04:08I'm still hungry.
04:10There is stew.
04:12Not for food.
04:14Let go.
04:15A man has needs.
04:17All the men are at war.
04:19So if you're here, you're not a man.
04:25What's going on here?
04:26That little whore forgot her place and dared to speak to a Kingsguard.
04:30Careful.
04:30She's filthy as a rat.
04:32Probably carries disease between her legs.
04:35Go clean the latrines.
04:36They're overflowing.
04:43I can't keep living like this.
04:45This isn't the life we were meant to have.
04:49Mum.
04:51Are you sad?
04:52I'm not sad.
04:53It's just the onions.
04:55I know you way too well to believe that.
04:58Go wash your hands.
05:00We're about to eat.
05:03Look!
05:04In the sky!
05:18Oh no!
05:19Mum, who is that?
05:25It's your father, baby.
05:34Mum?
05:35It's Prince Christopher, baby.
05:37I heard stories about him.
05:39If you keep this child, I will burn you alive.
05:41Listen to me very carefully.
05:43You're going straight home, and you do not leave.
05:47Not for anything.
05:48Do you understand me?
05:58The great screen here!
06:00We take the dragon!
06:21You've won the war.
06:22Now it is time to secure the future.
06:25Princess Serrales of Valamen.
06:27Your future queen.
06:30My lord.
06:31I've heard many stories about you.
06:33I intend to give you a future worthy of your legend.
06:37I am ovulating at this very moment.
06:52Sophie.
07:03I was so afraid something would happen to you.
07:06Eight years.
07:07And not a single day passed without you.
07:11You must be exhausted.
07:13Come.
07:14I'll take you to your quarters.
07:15A hero deserves proper care.
07:23Welcome home.
07:25You must be hungry, tired, and horny.
07:28I...
07:29Remind me.
07:29Your name?
07:30I'm Serrales of Valmars, daughter of...
07:32Right.
07:33Serrales.
07:33I need a drink with my soldiers before I retire.
07:35I'll be in the pub.
07:36But...
07:58What is he doing here?
08:07Hello.
08:07Hello.
08:09Hello.
08:15Hi, Sophie.
08:17Hi.
08:18Christo, I mean, your Excellency.
08:20Don't call me that.
08:22Ok, your Excellency.
08:24Are you ok?
08:26No.
08:27Yes.
08:31I'm glad to see you're safe.
08:33I was worried.
08:36All these years really you were worried about me
08:41What have you done?
08:44I didn't take your diseases and your stench and get out of here
08:47You should be kissing my feet for letting you work in my pub after you were thrown out of the
08:52palace and left with nothing
08:54Hey relax
08:55It was my fault. Thank you your majesty, but I don't need you to protect me. I've taken care of
09:01myself for a long time
09:02You're a rotten miserable woman serving spoiled meat and seasoning it. So no one notices
09:10Ungrateful wreck
09:13Lower your hand she stands under my protection of course my lord
09:21I quit
09:33What am I going to do now? How am I supposed to feed Zoey?
09:47Here wear this
09:55Sophie
09:58I need you
10:02Funny we kissed here once
10:07That was a long time ago
10:11Sophie come work for me
10:14As what I need someone to help me with my dragon
10:19How can I help you with a dragon you have a good heart?
10:23The best i've ever known
10:25And that's the thing with dragons they only follow a pure heart
10:30And eight years of battle has taken a heavy toll on this one's heart
10:35What do you say i'll pay you as much as you want
10:41Thank you
10:43But I don't think that's a good idea
10:45Why not?
10:46Because we have a child you can't know about
10:49Why are you shirtless?
10:54Who in the devil's name are you?
10:56I am no one
11:01You need a long bath
11:03Battlefield dirt is one thing
11:05But standing so close to
11:07That oh my god
11:08Let me take care of you
11:15Was he really that strong?
11:17Even stronger
11:17Everyone says he tamed the dragon all by himself
11:21And that he killed 30 walking dead
11:23If only I could tell you that more than anything
11:25He is your father
11:33What are you doing?
11:35You can't just break into my house
11:36This house belongs to the crown
11:38You live here by permission
11:39Not by right
11:42And you're behind on your taxes
11:43Way behind
11:44I know
11:46I'm sorry i need a few more days
11:47I lost my job today
11:49But i'll find another one
11:50I'll pay everything i owe
11:52Or
11:54You take the girl
11:55That should cover about half of it
11:58Two days
11:59After that
12:00We take what we want
12:07Listen to me
12:08I always promised you a better life than this
12:11Didn't I?
12:11So as long as we have each other
12:13We're safe
12:14Exactly
12:19I love you mom
12:21I love you too baby girl
12:25I'll do whatever it takes
12:33Easy
12:35I just want to help you
12:41This is pointless
12:43It's an animal
12:45Look
12:48Weren't you executed or something?
12:50I just came to return Kristoffers
12:53The prince's shirt
12:55Great
12:56Now leave
12:58Hey Sophie
13:00Come here
13:04My prince
13:06This is the dragon's enclosure
13:08Commoners aren't allowed near creatures like this
13:11Unless they're meant to be eaten
13:13Is that your plan?
13:14To feed her to it?
13:16If so by all means
13:17Be my guest
13:18No
13:20That's not the plan
13:22Sophie is here to help me
13:30Don't move
13:32He's testing you
13:39We're not here to hurt you
13:43We just want to ease your pain
13:46Pathetic
13:46She thinks she can soothe it with words
14:01You see?
14:03I knew you were the one
14:04So what do you say?
14:06Would you be my dragon whisperer?
14:08Sorry my lord
14:09We found a girl who says her mother is here
14:15Oh no
14:17Zoe
14:23Well well
14:24Look what the cat dragged in
14:27I asked Sophie to become my dragon whisperer
14:29My place is not here
14:30I will leave now
14:32This child seems to have gotten lost
14:34Come quickly
14:35You can't be here
14:36They came back
14:37I escaped
14:38Mum
14:39You have a child
14:40What a surprise
14:43How old is she?
14:44Six?
14:44Seven?
14:46This is Zoe
14:47My daughter
14:50Don't wave at your future king
14:53Bow
14:54No need
14:57Hi Zoe
14:57Nice to meet you
14:59I saw you riding a dragon
15:01I'll ride dragons too
15:02Nonsense
15:03Women don't ride dragons
15:05Christopher
15:06Come
15:08It's time the king produces an heir
15:10I bet all the princess want to marry you
15:12Maybe
15:14But my heart belongs to someone else
15:20My father was a brave soldier too
15:23Like you
15:25You remember the knight
15:28I never loved you
15:30Bullshit
15:36Take this
15:37I can't
15:38She needs a roof
15:46I told you to stay home
15:47I was just looking
15:49I told you never go near the palace
15:51Why?
15:52If you knew the truth
15:53Because it's dangerous
15:54That's enough
15:55At least the prince was kind
15:58Two gold coins
16:00What are we going to buy?
16:01We fix the roof
16:03Before winter
16:11Zoe
16:11We're leaving
16:12Now
16:22What is it?
16:32Go inside
16:35Mom
16:38Do you think
16:39We'll see the prince again?
16:40No
16:42I'm sorry
16:43But we won't
16:45And I need you to promise me something
16:48Never speak about him again
16:51He smiled at me
16:54He even gave us money
16:56He's going to be king
16:58He'll marry someone important
17:00People like us
17:01We don't matter to him
17:03So please
17:04Please let's forget about him
17:06It's just you and me all right?
17:10I feel like something bad is about to happen
17:28There's no doubt
17:30The child is his
17:32His?
17:33If that child lives
17:35The prince loses his crown
17:39Tonight
17:40You go to him
17:41He barely looks at me
17:43Then make him
17:47Drink it
17:52It won't turn me into a frog
17:54Or something
17:54Right?
17:55No stupid
17:57It won't change you
17:59It will change what he sees
18:08Go
18:09And get pregnant
18:11Tonight
18:12Or you go back to the hole you crawled out of
18:15I will do what must be done
18:21Her daughter
18:22I bet all the princess want to marry you
18:24Maybe
18:26But my heart belongs to someone else
18:29Eight years old
18:30Is it possible that
18:32You remember the night?
18:44What are you doing here?
18:46I want you to relax
18:48Listen
18:49Whatever my mother is planning
18:51It's not happening
18:54Look at me
18:55I'm not marrying you
18:56Then don't marry me
18:59Just take me
19:03I can be whatever you want
19:06I will give you everything
19:09A son
19:10An heir
19:16I'm yours
19:18For anything you desire
19:19I have to wake up
19:20You have to wake up
19:22Take me
19:23Make me your heart
19:24Make me yours
19:28What did you do to me?
19:30You asked me to come here
19:37Sophie
19:38Where are you?
19:40Tomorrow morning
19:42I'll find someone to fix it
19:44We can't leave it like this
19:46Winter's coming will freeze
19:50I think what the prince gave us should be enough
19:54Good evening
19:57So
19:59You broke the lock I put on your door
20:01And ran from me in the street
20:03That means your debt isn't just to the queen anymore
20:07It's to me
20:08And now
20:09I'm here to collect
20:16Which drunk do you have to fuck to earn this?
20:19There's enough there to cover a full year of taxes
20:21Now take your filthy boots and your filthy mouth and get out of my house
20:32Mom
20:34You were so brave
20:36Just like dad was when he went to war, right?
20:39I can't keep living like this
20:41He has to know
20:43For Zoe
20:44And for him
20:49Hi, thank you for watching the first episodes of Bound by Fire
20:53Want to see what's next?
20:57The kingdom needed a stronger ruler
21:01Tomorrow you ride to war and you return victorious
21:07Now that your prince has gone to war
21:09You return to what you were always meant to be
21:11A pathetic little servant
21:12Is all of this ours?
21:15It doesn't belong to us
21:16Not yet
21:18Give me back my daughter
21:20No matter where I go
21:21I always find my way back to you
21:24And I will always wait
21:27How could you do this?
21:29Hide from me that I'm a father?
21:31I was afraid she would kill me
21:35Theoresh
21:35Morath
21:36Enkai
21:39No
21:41Please, I didn't
21:42Because of you
21:43The king is dead
21:46Please
21:52Daddy
21:54Daddy
22:08Sophie
22:08Where are you?
