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.
00:00:25Fort again!
00:00:29This ends the reign of Vortigin, High King of Britain.
00:00:33Take heart, you people of the Island of the Mighty.
00:00:36David?
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.
00:00:53You 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 have 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.
00:01:20Merlin.
00:01:23I've never seen so many.
00:01:24There will be no victory without the kings of Britain by your side.
00:01:29Because I need every single one of them to defeat Hengist.
00:01:48For about 9 years, I was born the Ohio Bolobus.
00:01:55Hello, Mother.
00:01:55Move down...
00:01:56Oh, my God.
00:02:26You switch your locker, and I eat the turrets!
00:02:46This nail I can, you find it to lose the end of the night.
00:02:50May you offend them from Harawitcher.
00:02:54Fool!
00:02:56Are you so heavy with drink that you fail to recognize the spawn of Ortigen?
00:03:10Prince Passant, forgive Alduin's impertinence.
00:03:16And he will be punished.
00:03:20What word from your father?
00:03:23My father is dead.
00:03:29What do you want?
00:03:32My father is dead, and I am his heir.
00:03:35High King of the Britons.
00:03:41And yet you ride here, unannounced.
00:03:46No honor guard.
00:03:48No 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.
00:05:31None to death.
00:05:48We move on the right side.
00:05:50Foster.
00:05:52You have to wear your dreader.
00:05:54From over that front of us.
00:05:56Foster.
00:05:57Foster you, Gripatwe.
00:05:59From Imanda.
00:06:00No!
00:06:26No!
00:06:27No!
00:06:28No!
00:06:29No!
00:06:33No!
00:06:39No!
00:06:42No!

00:08:22Merlin!

00:08:43and that's when I saw him sat on the rock by the riverbed alone shining as bright as the dawn
00:08:55and we are most grateful to you Peleus even as our hopes waned you did not give up these many
00:09:01years
00:09:05my lady

00:09:15providence great king the divine hand Merthen found me prisoner of high king Vortigern
00:09:25prisoner?

00:09:35gamble Vortigern lost
00:09:39King Avalak I have been remiss may I present to you Uther second son of Constance and his older brother
00:09:47Aurelius
00:09:48sons of Constance I see

00:09:56Aurelius has defeated the usurp of Vortigern he is by right of lineage and victory high king of Enos Pridim
00:10:05if I do not fall to the axe of a Saxon first
00:10:08all the ambitions of a petty king
00:10:15my brother surely meant no disrespect king Avalak
00:10:22and yet he speaks truly
00:10:25this land is in a welter of confusion
00:10:27there are more kings than sheep
00:10:30more princes than crows on a battlefield
00:10:36all seeking to snatch what they can when they can
00:10:39without a care for who suffers
00:10:42until this island is ruled by one
00:10:47who wields both justice and mercy
00:10:50there will be no peace
00:10:53Aurelius's life is in danger
00:10:54until the kings of Britain recognise his claim
00:10:59it is my hope
00:11:01he could find sanctuary here
00:11:02while I ride to rally what friends we have left
00:11:05while we
00:11:07ride to rally your friends
00:11:08Uther
00:11:08to ensure
00:11:10Merlin is not remiss
00:11:13pushing your claim in other courts
00:11:16right mother
00:11:18very well Uther
00:11:20if you prefer knights in the saddle
00:11:22to the comfort of Avalak'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
00:11:33and death
00:11:36the high king of Britain
00:11:37will be safe within these walls
00:11:41to a future of peace
00:12:12to find these walls
00:12:13clearly
00:12:16whether we were dead
00:12:20remember what they did to me
00:12:22my love
00:12:32you fuss over me like a child
00:12:36while other men call me immortal
00:12:37I'm going to go to the castle.
00:13:00Fisher King's sword.
00:13:03Your sword.
00:13:10I thought it lost.
00:13:14And yet it has been here.
00:13:17Waiting for you.
00:13:19The sword of a high king.
00:13:25Aurelius has a sword.
00:13:27A sword of Britain.
00:13:28I do not offer it to Aurelius.
00:13:44Aurelius.
00:13:49Aurelius.
00:13:51Aurelius.
00:13:53Aurelius.
00:14:03I'm sorry, Mother.
00:14:05I cannot accept it.
00:14:07Whatever the future may hold,
00:14:09I cannot take up that sword again.
00:14:24Then I will pray you have the strength to keep your vow.
00:14:34I wish you were not leaving so soon.
00:14:39Besides, the fish are always on their best behavior when you are here.
00:14:47What was it like, Merlin?
00:14:49To be insane.
00:14:51To be alone with God.
00:14:55Is that who you think I was alone with?
00:14:59Who else?
00:15:01I would dearly love to spend but a moment in my Lord's presence.
00:15:07You are fortunate among men, Merlin.
00:15:13Go.
00:15:14I have been greedy with your time.
00:15:18We will discuss these things again when 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, Hawke.
00:15:41Yet in truth, my sins are too numerous to count.
00:15:48And I gave life to Morgann.
00:16:00I've seen her.
00:16:04Morgann.
00:16:06In the fire.
00:16:09In the stars.
00:16:14I do not know if God was with me in Caliphon for all these many years, Grandfather.
00:16:20But I know Morgann was.
00:16:24Trust in Jesu, Hawke.
00:16:28He is the only hope for men like us.
00:16:34If hope we have.
00:16:36It is not true.
00:16:39It is not true.
00:16:48It is not true.
00:16:57Amen.
00:17:05Today is young.
00:17:06I don't know.
00:17:38Sir, tell me about this place, Maradanum.
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.
00:18:00Peleus speaks as he serves, of his own free will.
00:18:05So you would have him believe.
00:18:08Are you suggesting the Emerus has me spellbound?
00:18:12You're a woods boy, not mine.
00:18:15You surprise me, Uther.
00:18:17I 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 would cunning and deceit rest fealty from his people, is that not a sorcery of
00:18:35a kind?
00:18:56I see you. I see you.
00:19:11You know what you must do.
00:19:14Master?
00:19:14Master?
00:19:17What is it?
00:19:18Master.
00:19:20Master.
00:19:22Master.
00:19:29Master.
00:19:32Master.
00:19:38Master.
00:19:39Master.
00:19:41Master.
00:19:45Master.
00:20:19Delightful 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...
00:20:48Pandaren the Red Sword was king.
00:20:51Myrthyn.
00:20:55Let the minute ones see to their horses.
00:21:11The same raid that took Maelis took the town.
00:21:16The Tifat, my father tried to say what he could, but there wasn't much left.
00:21:20And that was but the beginning of our troubles.
00:21:24The same story is told throughout these lands.
00:21:27I fear greater threat is coming.
00:21:30Yes, it's a different world since...
00:21:33Well, since you've been away.
00:21:37Will you sit at our table, my lord?
00:21:41Most kind.
00:21:47Why does your friend the king said?
00:21:50Because 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.
00:22:28But I could not give up the chase.
00:22:32These days it's rare when I get occasion to knock an arrow.
00:22:36A fine prize, Merrig at Taldrigg.
00:22:40Son, meet our guests.
00:22:44Uther, Peleus, and Mers and 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've 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.
00:23:25Aurelius, 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, Taldrigg.
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, Rigg.
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 to have a new orbit tied by now?
00:24:49Silence!
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 bear some rooms for you and your men.
00:25:11Perhaps the emirists 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.
00:25:56Marthen, win me a kingdom.
00:26:15Who is that?
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.
00:26:32How I conduct my own affairs is not your concern.
00:26:34You may have swayed my brother.
00:26:37Your powers of persuasion will not work with me.
00:26:40Of that, I have no doubt.
00:26:42My has no doubt.
00:26:43I have no doubt.
00:26:47I have no doubt.
00:26:50I have no doubt.
00:26:52I have no doubt.
00:26:53You may have any doubt.
00:26:54I have no doubt.
00:26:54I have no doubt.
00:26:56I have no doubt.
00:27:03I have no doubt.
00:27:06I have no doubt.
00:27:11There are things that some people who have described in her,
00:27:33There you go.
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, Urian, your mother knows what's best for you.
00:28:01Off with you.
00:28:12No one seeks our cancer, or 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.
00:28:24What 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 Vortigorn?
00:28:33Vortigorn 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.
00:29:04Have you forgotten the deal we made with the Saxon chief?
00:29:08How could I forget, mother?
00:29:10When I so 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.
00:29:25We should support our people.
00:29:27Are they?
00:29:28Our people.
00:29:31Only 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.
00:29:41And a mother.
00:29:44Still, I cannot help but wonder if there is not a greater strategic advantage for you
00:29:50in the current arrangement.
00:29:56You could be a most valuable ally to Hengist.
00:30:00To Saxon.
00:30:01The future is Saxon.
00:30:12I trust you slept away with the soldier who sleeps the one I opened.
00:30:18That sounds inconvenient.
00:30:20It's not 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, Mellon.
00:30:28Ah, my lord Merthin.
00:30:30I wonder if I might have a word with you.
00:30:35In private.
00:30:37Of course.
00:30:40Do 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.
00:31:35Only 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.
00:32:03This is a war band of Meridunam
00:32:06who spend all its days drinking rather than training.
00:32:10But you see, we are training.
00:32:12Right here in the darkness of this hovel.
00:32:15With nothing to slake our thirst
00:32:18but this sorry excuse for wine, eh?
00:32:23To your safe return
00:32:25after such a long absence.
00:32:34Forgive me if I
00:32:35know not how to receive you.
00:32:38This is your realm, and rightly so,
00:32:40but 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
00:32:53than 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,
00:33:01given the frequency of the raids.
00:33:07Yours is a fruitful land, Taldrigg.
00:33:10Yet your fields are stripped,
00:33:12your walls are broken,
00:33:13and provisions are strained
00:33:15even at the king's table.
00:33:18At whose hand do you suffer this injustice?
00:33:22Not the Saxon, surely.
00:33:24For you would not have lived to tell the tale.
00:33:33He's been bleeding the neighboring lands of grain and cattle
00:33:36for the better part of a year,
00:33:38like a ravenous bear, Tenton,
00:33:40slumbering through the long winter.
00:33:43But why?
00:33:44He knows war with the Saxon is coming,
00:33:48and he intends to wait it out
00:33:51with 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
00:34:05that the destruction is at hand.
00:34:08We cannot fight him.
00:34:10But fight him we would!
00:34:11We would rather suffer the sword
00:34:14opposing that snake
00:34:15than let him take what's rightful, Yarris!
00:34:19You've told your father as much?
00:34:22My father is too proud to heed our counsel.
00:34:26I'm ashamed, Merthin.
00:34:29I admit it.
00:34:32I saw no other way.
00:34:38I often question whether I'm
00:34:41worthy to wear the talk.
00:34:44If I am a king,
00:34:48I'm not a very good one.
00:34:53Your father must have good reason
00:34:54to let this insult go unanswered.
00:34:58No king would suffer such humiliation, Lylee.
00:35:01Well, whatever his reason,
00:35:03it would not matter for long.
00:35:05My family has ruled this kingdom
00:35:07for the last three generations.
00:35:10Now Merthin returns to claim his throne
00:35:14and 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
00:35:42many years ago.
00:35:45Or so the story is told.
00:35:48They say Merthin slew seventy men
00:35:51with his own hands
00:35:52within these very gates.
00:35:54At Gathay,
00:35:57at Gathay 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,
00:36:09he is given strength from heaven.
00:36:11The world stops.
00:36:14None can stand before him.
00:36:18I can assure you friends
00:36:22that the only thing
00:36:22that matters in battle
00:36:23is brute strength.
00:36:27Magic is for druids
00:36:28and bored women.
00:36:33perhaps.
00:36:36But he is legend
00:36:38in these lands.
00:36:40He is more than a king.
00:36:43He is nearly an otherworldly being.
00:36:48He will take the talk
00:36:50from my father
00:36:51and declare himself high king
00:36:54before he is through.
00:36:56And neither you
00:36:57or the Saxons
00:36:59nor all the armies
00:37:00of Britain and Amorica
00:37:01can hinder him.
00:37:04Unless we stop him here.
00:37:07And now.
00:37:28You must listen to me,
00:37:30Uther.
00:37:31Out of my way,
00:37:33steward.
00:37:37I bested you once before.
00:37:40Don't make me do it again.
00:37:42You had that aluminum
00:37:42surprise before.
00:37:45Not this time.
00:37:46You thought that was
00:37:47my only surprise?
00:38:08You would attack
00:38:09an unarmed man.
00:38:33Don't!
00:38:34Don't!
00:38:36Don't!
00:38:36Don't!
00:38:37Don't!
00:38:38Ahhhh!
00:38:41Ahhhh!
00:38:49Stop this, Uther!
00:38:52You risk ruining the Emerus' work!
00:38:54That's exactly what I did to do!
00:39:00Oh, no!
00:39:12Uther!
00:39:25Uther!
00:39:26Stand up, King Tawdry.
00:39:35You are right that you've failed your people.
00:39:40You've let fear rule your heart and govern your actions.
00:39:43And I do indeed have every right to reclaim my kingship and take back what is lawfully mine.
00:39:51But I deem it best to 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.
00:40:06Provided you pledge your support to Aurelius.
00:40:14You have my word.
00:40:26Are you quite well, Uther?
00:40:27Just short of wrath is all.
00:40:35My warband will not fight for Aurelius while Morcan threatens our homes.
00:40:40Well, then it's a good thing we have the Battle Chief of Britain.
00:40:43To bring the Belgae to heel.
00:40:46I'm...
00:40:48Afraid I must decline.
00:40:51Uther?
00:40:52I will join a fight against the Morcan.
00:40:57However...
00:40:57Only as a simple soldier.
00:41:01A cunning strategy, Uther.
00:41:03If we survive it.
00:41:05There's nothing like a brisk ride to revive a man.
00:41:29There's nothing like a brisk ride to revive a man.
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.
00:42:02Killing and plundering.
00:42:05They rarely leave survivors.
00:42:07But 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.
00:42:20No, no, you could have fought.
00:42:22What strength you think we have is an illusion.
00:42:27Each 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,
00:42:49my 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.
00:43:02No.
00:43:14Where are the Saxons now?
00:43:27Lord is in line for the throne after all.
00:43:31And the fine king will make my son.
00:43:37But, who are we, if not people of our word?
00:43:45I say, Angus makes his men fight to the death for his amusement.
00:43:52You must not believe everything you hear.
00:43:54Aurelius, 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...
00:44:20He might oppose you.
00:44:23But I admit, I do worry how he will receive you.
00:44:28If word comes to him of your dealings with Hengist.
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.
00:45:04I pray 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?
00:45:50I 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.
00:46:39Our soldiers cannot ride with you to Riantha.
00:46:44But perhaps they will escort their princess on a ride through our easternmost holdings.
00:46:48My lady.
00:46:49But we cannot leave our territory, Aurelius.
00:46:52If you choose to engage the Saxon,
00:46:55you do it alone.
00:47:18My lady.
00:47:18I am a king!
00:47:32I am a king.
00:47:36I am a king.
00:47:41I am not a king here.
00:47:48I am a man.
00:47:52What is your business here?
00:47:55You Belgae grow fat from the grain plundered from the fields of Maradona.
00:48:01And?
00:48:02And we're taking it back.
00:48:12No one need die today.
00:48:14Tell your king Merthen-Emerist demands an audience.
00:48:17My king is not so easily summoned.
00:48:20I do not intend to make it easy.
00:48:28A hand after hand!
00:48:47No!
00:48:48No!
00:48:49No!
00:48:59No!
00:49:01No!
00:49:02No!
00:49:05No!
00:49:06No!
00:49:18No!
00:49:20No!
00:49:21No!
00:49:23No!
00:49:23No!
00:49:25No!
00:49:26No!
00:49:27No!
00:49:30No!
00:49:30If I do not return, tell my brother I died a noble death.
00:49:35No!
00:49:38No!
00:49:47No!
00:49:49No!
00:49:52No!
00:49:54No!
00:49:57No!
00:50:05No!
00:50:12No!
00:50:15No!
00:50:17No!
00:50:17No!
00:50:17No!
00:50:27No!
00:50:28No!
00:50:29Oh, my God!
00:50:33Fire!
00:51:04Oh
00:51:53Oh
00:52:04Oh
00:52:29Oh
00:52:30oh
00:52:30oh
00:52:30oh
00:54:06Thank you, m'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.
00:54:39Whoever you are,
00:54:41you've chosen a rather inopportune time to visit.
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.
00:55:19If 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
00:55:27against 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
00:55:38while 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.
00:55:53No 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 warhorn
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, Rome.
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 pledged 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
00:57:12and 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
00:57:26indistinguishable from any other.
00:57:32You bluff.
00:57:35I do hope your men haven't 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, Morgant.
00:58:09You've abused your power
00:58:11and now it is time for you to make amends.
00:58:15If you do not
00:58:16Aurelius will continue to raise his army
00:58:20but it will not be the Saxon
00:58:21he rides against.
00:58:39My daughter
00:58:40has 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
00:58:50who 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, the 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
00:59:27from this threat
00:59:28if you throw your own life away, Aurelius.
00:59:32A king must sometimes make
00:59:34terrible choices.
00:59:37It was foolish.
00:59:40I know.
00:59:41In truth, I'm not ready for what is ahead.
00:59:44The battle against Vortig was...
00:59:46Jod?
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
01:00:44high king after all.
01:00:56A man of his word is King Taldryg.
01:01:02Two more western kings
01:01:04have pledged their fealty to Aurelius.
01:01:06The war bands right 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 Gothay.
01:01:17We must ride alone.
01:01:20I have not proven myself
01:01:21to be a pleasant enough
01:01:22travelling companion?
01:01:23Uther, you have proven yourself
01:01:25a 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 flogged for impactments.
01:02:13It is not safe for you, Angustin, at all.
01:02:16It is not safe for you, Angustin, at all.
01:02:24There is no other way.
01:02:26There is no other way.
01:02:39I am going no other way.
01:02:40Tell us where you are.
01:02:56I don't know.
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 Angist.
01:04:41Safe travels, my son.
01:04:55Safe travels, my son.
01:04:55I don't know.
