Short filmTranscript
00:00:01Get those banners hoisted. Straighten the garlands.
00:00:05Bring the wine to the guests. Now!
00:00:09Today's a blessed day. The old gods are smiling on us.
00:00:20Whose wretched carriage is this? Have you any idea what day it is?
00:00:24You're blocking Lady Isabella's path on her wedding day.
00:00:28Bring me Alistair.
00:00:29You dare speak his name? You're not fit to breed the same air.
00:00:34I am Morgana. I have come to collect what is mine.
00:00:44I'll fetch him right away!
00:00:49Sixty years. You've had my eyes. Now I want them back.
00:00:53A grand day. My daughter marries a prince.
00:00:58My lord! My lord!
00:01:00Control yourself.
00:01:02A woman at the gates. She says her name is Morgana. She demands to see you. Now.
00:01:12Morgana.
00:01:14Forgive me. I didn't know you were coming.
00:01:17House Alistrim is yours. Show us mercy.
00:01:20My lord. You are a duke. You kneel to no one but the king.
00:01:24One more word. And I'll cut it out myself.
00:01:28My lady. Please.
00:01:48Mind the steps, my lady.
00:01:54The sky turns.
00:02:04Sixty years ago.
00:02:07I broke myself into twelve embers.
00:02:11The throne was secured.
00:02:13My lord. It is time.
00:02:20To reclaim them all.
00:02:26I assumed we were hosting royalty.
00:02:29For my husband to grovel so.
00:02:32To greet you himself.
00:02:33I simply had to see who...
00:02:45Morgana, was it?
00:02:47You are a guest in my halls.
00:02:49Drink.
00:02:54Your wine, my lady.
00:02:57A blind witch.
00:02:59This shall be too easy.
00:03:10I told them to boil it.
00:03:12Doorish vintage.
00:03:14Pity it turned to vinegar.
00:03:16Masked with...
00:03:18Heavy spice.
00:03:20Poured from the rot.
00:03:21At the bottom of your cellar.
00:03:23Is this...
00:03:24How House Alistair hides its decay?
00:03:26How could she possibly smell that?
00:03:28She knows.
00:03:30How could she know?
00:03:31You insolent wretch!
00:03:33Keep your filthy mouth!
00:03:39By his wits alone did Lord Alistair survive.
00:03:42Isabella, your gown!
00:03:43A tragedy.
00:03:45His bloodline rots with me.
00:03:47How dare you!
00:03:49My husband may tolerate your delusions.
00:03:51But I will not!
00:03:52You just assaulted the future crown princess.
00:03:55By royal decree, you will kneel and you will bleed for it.
00:03:59She is a fool.
00:04:00You are worse.
00:04:02Even the gods of the underworld have yet to see me kneel.
00:04:07Why would you?
00:04:10We shall see.
00:04:12Guards, take her!
00:04:18And break her legs.
00:04:20Do it!
00:04:25Seize her!
00:04:26Now!
00:04:27Now!
00:04:42Stop!
00:04:44Stop this at once!
00:04:45Fools!
00:04:50Morgana!
00:04:51They know nothing!
00:04:52They acted out of turn!
00:04:54Spare them!
00:04:56I beg of you!
00:04:58Alistair!
00:04:58Father!
00:04:59Both of you!
00:05:00You blind arrogant fools!
00:05:03She chose restraint!
00:05:05Or you would already be ashes upon this floor!
00:05:08On your knees!
00:05:09Beg for your lives!
00:05:12I bow to no one!
00:05:14I am the future crown princess!
00:05:17I will wear the crown!
00:05:19I will rule this realm!
00:05:23I am a queen!
00:05:24She is just a-
00:05:30A pity.
00:05:33No crown rests on a dead woman.
00:05:37You will die before the wedding bells ring.
00:05:56No!
00:05:58No!
00:05:59Get out of my house!
00:06:01Silence your tongue!
00:06:03Morgana, please!
00:06:05How do we stop this?
00:06:06Call off the royal wedding.
00:06:09Break betrotha.
00:06:13Or...
00:06:14She dies.
00:06:24The royal escort led by the obsidian guard.
00:06:27Commander Cedric himself.
00:06:29The reaper of the realm.
00:06:36The prophecy is written.
00:06:42And the king's edict?
00:06:53Commander Cedric, you heard the prophecy.
00:06:56If Isabella rides to the palace today, it will be her funeral.
00:07:00The crown commands this union, Lord Alistair.
00:07:04My escort is already at your gates.
00:07:08You dare defy the throne over cheap politrix?
00:07:11And break the royal contract?
00:07:14Unless...
00:07:16You doubt my ability to keep her breathing.
00:07:20No, Commander.
00:07:21Your blade is legendary.
00:07:23Your tactics flawless.
00:07:25The king trusts no other.
00:07:26She is safe with you.
00:07:29But...
00:07:29Morgana has seen it.
00:07:31She is our only hope.
00:07:33Alistair.
00:07:34The king's patience is not infinite.
00:07:37Do not humiliate us for a blind witch.
00:07:40The crown's wrath will burn this castle to the ground.
00:07:43I will not let you ruin us.
00:07:45She is right, father.
00:07:46I am perfectly safe with the commander.
00:07:49Have the carriage ready.
00:07:51I will fetch my veil.
00:07:57Isabella!
00:07:59Let her go.
00:08:01The hour is set.
00:08:02My debt shall be claimed when the blood runs dry.
00:08:12Play the prophet.
00:08:13Watch her cross those gates alive.
00:08:18I'll feel the blood.
00:08:23Bring the oracle a horse.
00:08:37a la la la la.
00:08:55zul crossed.
00:09:11Take them to the Iron Court.
00:09:13I want a name.
00:09:14Yes, Commander!
00:09:23Thank the gods Cedric was here.
00:09:25We're safe.
00:09:27He earned his coin.
00:09:31You fight well, mortal.
00:09:33Pity it changes nothing.
00:09:35I do not guess.
00:09:39The grave is dug.
00:09:41The hour is here!
00:09:43Step forward, future Empress!
00:09:51Isabella, my love, finally.
00:10:07I'm ready, Father.
00:10:09The crown is mine.
00:10:11Our legacy begins.
00:10:15My daughter.
00:10:16Our ultimate masterpiece.
00:10:21Lock it down!
00:10:22Double guards!
00:10:23Kill anything that moves.
00:10:24Nothing.
00:10:25Touch that carriage.
00:10:26Are we clear?
00:10:27Crystal clear, Captain.
00:10:28Consider it done.
00:10:29You're wasting men.
00:10:33The prophecy is spoken.
00:10:35The bride won't survive this journey.
00:10:37I am never wrong.
00:10:39Enlighten me then, Oracle.
00:10:41Give me a name.
00:10:42How exactly does she die?
00:10:44Give me real intel.
00:10:46Do that, I might believe you.
00:10:48Seeing the end requires a price.
00:10:50A transaction.
00:10:52I see the blood.
00:10:54The question is, can you afford it?
00:10:58There it is.
00:10:59The classic shakedown.
00:11:01We always get here.
00:11:02Just a beggar.
00:11:03I could watch the Duke's daughter in her wedding dress.
00:11:05Perfectly protected by your elite guards.
00:11:08Ride straight to her execution.
00:11:10Let me ride with your convoy.
00:11:13Take me.
00:11:14I'll prove you wrong.
00:11:19I see the threads.
00:11:22Every drop of blood before it falls.
00:11:25The end is written.
00:11:27You're just walking the path blind.
00:11:30Cut the riddles.
00:11:31You're in my cell now.
00:11:35If you see everything, then what happens next?
00:11:39Does the blade slip?
00:11:40Does the steel bite?
00:11:42Or maybe I'm just sick of your games and slit your throat right now.
00:11:45Did you see that?
00:11:50A seer is blind to her own end.
00:11:53That is the only law I obey.
00:11:56Then tell me how this ends.
00:11:59But you cannot kill me, Cedric.
00:12:04Let's put that to the test.
00:12:06Steel cannot touch me.
00:12:11By drawing it on me, you owe a deadly debt.
00:12:14Madness.
00:12:15I serve the crown.
00:12:17I don't fear witches.
00:12:21Still believe in hard facts, Commander?
00:12:24Commander!
00:12:26We have a situation.
00:12:27The prisoners from the ambush, sir.
00:12:29They took poison.
00:12:31Hidden in their teeth.
00:12:32They're all dead.
00:12:33Trails cold.
00:12:34Dead?!
00:12:35You let our only witnesses die in chains?!
00:12:37They were paid to die.
00:12:39They'd never talk.
00:12:41You want the true killer?
00:12:42Stop asking the living.
00:12:44They only lie.
00:12:45I'll make the dead speak.
00:12:58The prophecy.
00:13:00She knew.
00:13:02How?
00:13:02She was right there!
00:13:04The prophecy is fulfilled.
00:13:06Her blood is spilled.
00:13:08You killed my daughter!
00:13:10Your daughter's death was a tragedy.
00:13:12Eleanor, don't provoke her.
00:13:14Look at the carriage!
00:13:15The doors were sealed!
00:13:17Who else could bypass those locks?!
00:13:19Enough!
00:13:20Seal the gates!
00:13:21Nobody leaves this yort yard!
00:13:23You're all suspects.
00:13:24Take them to the iron court!
00:13:31We're alone.
00:13:33Just tell me the damn truth.
00:13:34How did you reach inside a moving, heavily guarded carriage and take her head without a single sound?!
00:13:42You mapped out her execution beforehand.
00:13:45Fine.
00:13:47Say you didn't swing the blade yourself.
00:13:50But you orchestrated this.
00:13:54If that comforts you, you may use it.
00:14:01You said you could make the dead speak.
00:14:03Name your price.
00:14:05There's always a price with you.
00:14:07Always.
00:14:08Name it.
00:14:09Whatever closes this investigation.
00:14:12I want your absolute obedience.
00:14:15When I speak, you do not question.
00:14:19When I point, you do not hesitate.
00:14:21My loyalty is to the crown.
00:14:23I don't give blind trust.
00:14:25I have the killer.
00:14:27If you put the murderer in front of me, then you have my trust.
00:14:32Don't make a vow you can't keep, Commander.
00:14:35You have my word.
00:14:36I won't break it.
00:14:41Take this.
00:14:43Sew her head back on.
00:14:45You want me to mutilate a royal corpse?
00:14:47Every second you wait, she fades.
00:14:53Her soul is bleeding out.
00:14:57It's done.
00:14:58What now?
00:15:00Open the doors.
00:15:02Bring them all.
00:15:04The grieving father.
00:15:06The weeping mother.
00:15:08Bring the prince who lost his bride.
00:15:10We are going to hold a court of our own.
00:15:19Isabella!
00:15:20My baby!
00:15:21Oh God!
00:15:23Hold her back.
00:15:23Don't let her touch the body.
00:15:24Let me go!
00:15:25That's my daughter!
00:15:26Why is she here?
00:15:28Why is that blind woman in the judge's seat?
00:15:31Commander Ashworth, she killed her!
00:15:34She cursed my daughter and you let her sit there!
00:15:37His Royal Highness, Prince Kale!
00:15:41Isabella!
00:15:41Let me through!
00:15:43Isabella, no.
00:15:45Look what they did to you, my beautiful girl.
00:15:48The audience is here.
00:15:50Let the performance end.
00:15:53Flesh to thread.
00:15:56Bone to command.
00:15:58Rise.
00:16:05You demanded proof, Commander.
00:16:08Behold the truth.
00:16:10You wove the crimson soul thread yourself.
00:16:14The bond is forged.
00:16:17Ask her.
00:16:19Isabella Alastom.
00:16:20Is your killer here?
00:16:46Keep that thing away!
00:16:48She's bewitched!
00:16:50Ah!
00:16:53Ah!
00:16:55The crown is ours, Father.
00:17:05The crown is ours, Father.
00:17:12Edmund Alliston.
00:17:18Now confess.
00:17:24Edmund Alliston.
00:17:26Do you confess?
00:17:28I confess to nothing!
00:17:30You sick witch!
00:17:31You killed her!
00:17:33You puppeted her corpse to frame us!
00:17:36He took you in.
00:17:38You repay us with blood!
00:17:40This is madness!
00:17:42This is madness!
00:17:43A father doesn't slaughter his own blood!
00:17:46Isabella was my pride!
00:17:48Why would I destroy my own future?
00:17:51See the truth!
00:17:52His own blood.
00:17:53That's true.
00:17:56But what if that girl was never your blood at all?
00:18:00Elinor.
00:18:02Elinor.
00:18:02Why did the emperor betroth Isabella to Prince Kael?
00:18:05It was destiny!
00:18:07The emperor declared it.
00:18:09They were born the exact same hour.
00:18:12Blessed by the gods.
00:18:15Joel.
00:18:17It's impossible.
00:18:18Edmund tell me you didn't...
00:18:20Edmund tell me you didn't...
00:18:21I had to secure our bloodline.
00:18:28Give me the child I must see!
00:18:30Tell the truth!
00:18:32Is it a boy?
00:18:33Mrs. A girl, my lady.

00:25:08The crown shard in exchange
00:25:12Right
00:25:12If you wish to reclaim the shard
00:25:16I will gladly return it
00:25:18After all
00:25:19My family owes
00:25:20Our throne to
00:25:21Power is a debt
00:25:22When I give
00:25:23And when I take
00:25:24Is my choice alone
00:25:26Why the rush?
00:25:28Yes
00:25:29You are completely right
00:25:30Please
00:25:31Rest at Ashermyth palace
00:25:33Everything will grant her than
00:25:35No no
00:25:36Higher than imperial standards
00:25:38No need
00:25:39I am going to Ashwith keep
00:25:41Besides
00:25:43My heart
00:25:46Currently belongs to him
00:25:54Yes
00:25:54Yes of course
00:25:55Take my royal carriage
00:25:59Please my lady
00:26:00After you
00:26:01Your grace
00:26:02That is the sovereign's carriage
00:26:04It breaks royal protocol
00:26:05Shut your mouth
00:26:07Lady Morgana is the law
00:26:09Her word is absolute
00:26:10There is no protocol in this world
00:26:12That outrants her
00:26:13Isn't that right
00:26:14My dear lady
00:26:15Please
00:26:17Mind the step my lady
00:26:18Careful now
00:26:19Very careful
00:26:22Commander Ashworth
00:26:23Your grace
00:26:23If she suffers even a scratch
00:26:25I swear to god
00:26:26I will hang every last member
00:26:28Of your retted house
00:26:29Do I make myself clear?
00:26:31Crystal clear your grace
00:26:32My dear lady Morgana
00:26:34I have just remembered
00:26:36Some urgent matters of state
00:26:38To attend to
00:26:38I must take my leave
00:26:44You serve lady Morgana now
00:26:46Farewell
00:26:47Have a pleasant journey
00:26:52Earlier you said
00:26:53That I had your heart
00:26:54What the hell does that mean?
00:26:56Sixty years ago
00:26:58My heart was carved from my chest
00:27:01It is not with you
00:27:04It is in your house
00:27:07My house?
00:27:11This way lady Morgana
00:27:13Thanks to your grace
00:27:14Sixty years ago
00:27:15When you bestowed the heartmen shard upon us
00:27:17The Ashworth name is now renowned for our healing arts
00:27:20You see?
00:27:21These afflicted souls travel from the furthest corners of the kingdom
00:27:24Seeking our aid
00:27:26So
00:27:27The legendary Ashworth healing arts
00:27:30Actually came from you
00:27:33Tell me then
00:27:34Just how old are you exactly?
00:27:37Does it matter to you?
00:27:39Please my lord
00:27:40Save my mother
00:27:41Wake up mama
00:27:42Somebody help her
00:27:43Have mercy
00:27:44Please help my mother
00:27:45I beg of you
00:27:46This is all the coin I have
00:27:49Please
00:27:50Show some mercy
00:27:52A handful of dirty coppers
00:27:54And you expect the master's healing for that
00:27:57Get out of here
00:27:58Now
00:27:58Stop wasting everyone's time
00:28:00Selina
00:28:03Cedric
00:28:04You're finally home
00:28:06When I gave your family the shard
00:28:08It was to heal the broken
00:28:10To serve the realm
00:28:11Not to exploit the weak
00:28:13You have broken the pact
00:28:14Give the fragment back
00:28:16Who do you think you are?
00:28:18How dare a commoner like you
00:28:20Make demands in Ashwild Keep
00:28:22Silence
00:28:22Show her respect
00:28:25This is Selina Frost
00:28:27A ward
00:28:28Taken in by my father
00:28:30Selina
00:28:31We heal the sick
00:28:32Regardless of coin
00:28:34Have you forgotten?
00:28:35Go to the chapel
00:28:36Pray
00:28:37Beg her forgiveness
00:28:38You heard him
00:28:39To the chapel now
00:28:42I beg your pardon my lady
00:28:44I had no idea she was extorting them
00:28:48Rest assured
00:28:49The Ashwoods honor your gift
00:28:51We'd never turn away the poor
00:28:52Most days
00:28:54We treat all these commoners
00:28:55Without asking for any money
00:28:58I said return the shard
00:29:02Or do you mean to defy me?
00:29:04No, no
00:29:05The relic is rightfully yours
00:29:07I will return it to you immediately
00:29:09It is just
00:29:10The Hartman's Shard is kept safe by my eldest Marin
00:29:14She's been in seclusion at a distant abbey for years
00:29:17Once she returns from her retreat
00:29:19I will present it to you myself
00:29:20Fine
00:29:21I will wait
00:29:27Every time I return
00:29:29She still won't see me
00:29:32Fifteen years
00:29:33Fifteen years since I've laid eyes on her
00:29:35Does she really despise me that much?
00:29:38Why do you think she treats you with such coldness?
00:29:42Because of what I did
00:29:44She hates me
00:29:45When I was a boy
00:29:47I almost died
00:29:49My sister came for me
00:29:51And the iron drove through her right arm in my place
00:29:53She was never the same again
00:29:58She was a master healer
00:30:00Those gifted hands
00:30:02She could bring the dying back to life
00:30:04But because of me
00:30:05The scar on her arm never faded
00:30:07And she was taken from me forever
00:30:09She became a completely different person after that
00:30:12The Hartman's Shard was hers by birthright
00:30:15With its power she became the greatest healer in the kingdom
00:30:19And then they sent her far away
00:30:20To a quiet abbey
00:30:21Where she could practice in peace
00:30:23But I know the truth
00:30:26That day
00:30:27Became a thorn in her heart
00:30:29One that will never be pulled out
00:30:31Every time she looks at me
00:30:32She remembers what saving me cost her
00:30:34Everything is bound by consequence, Commander
00:30:38You see only the branches above the soil
00:30:40But you are blind to the roots below
00:30:43What is that supposed to mean?
00:30:45You will know soon enough
00:30:51My knees are hurting
00:30:52I'll fetch the salve
00:30:55Cedric just got back
00:30:56And he's already screaming at me because of her
00:30:59She's an honored guest
00:31:01Even Lord Ashworth had to apologize to her
00:31:03Master Cedric serves her
00:31:05People are whispering
00:31:07She might be his future bride
00:31:09His future bride?
00:31:10Look at her
00:31:12She's a freak
00:31:13With that filthy black rags
00:31:15She doesn't deserve Cedric
00:31:21Crone
00:31:22What is that?
00:31:24Honeycakes
00:31:25Master Cedric's favorite
00:31:27And Imperial Spiced Wine
00:31:29For Lady Morgana
00:31:31Halt
00:31:33Imperial Spiced Wine?
00:31:35A gift from the Emperor himself
00:31:36It's worth a fortune
00:31:38You really know how to grovel
00:31:41Give it here
00:31:45Healers always keep the best poisons
00:31:47This widow's kiss is lethal
00:31:51No taste, no cure
00:31:53Drink up, Morgana
00:31:55Go, take it to her
00:31:57I cannot, my lady
00:31:59She is Master Cedric's guest
00:32:03Know your place
00:32:04Without Ashfield Charity
00:32:07A useless old crone
00:32:09Would be rotting in the gutter
00:32:12Pathetic
00:32:17I am disciplining a servant
00:32:19Since when does a blind freak
00:32:21Interfere with Ashfield affairs?
00:32:23If your tongue serves only to offend
00:32:25Then you should not speak at all
00:32:30Morgana
00:32:31You little piece of
00:32:33My lady, what is it?
00:32:35My lady, what's wrong?
00:32:36Please, say something
00:32:37What's doing this?
00:32:38Guards, help us!
00:32:40Get Lord Aldric
00:32:41She's choking
00:32:41She can't breathe
00:32:42Lord Aldric
00:32:44Please, hurry
00:32:45I'm right here
00:32:46Just breathe
00:32:47She suddenly lost her voice
00:32:50Selene is just a foolish girl
00:32:51She didn't mean to offend you
00:32:53I will make her apologize to you at once
00:32:55What are you waiting for?
00:32:57Apologize!
00:32:57Now!
00:32:58Are you deaf?
00:32:59Do you want to be mute forever?
00:33:05My lady
00:33:08I don't want your apology
00:33:09Kneel to the one you truly wronged
00:33:13Please, no!
00:33:14I'm nobody!
00:33:15A lady cannot kneel to me!
00:33:16I'm just a servant!
00:33:18Silence!
00:33:19Just be grateful!
00:33:20Every brick in this house
00:33:22Rests on the Hartman Shard
00:33:24She built our legacy
00:33:26Oracle, I beg you
00:33:28She's terrified
00:33:30Let it be enough
00:33:32Please, have mercy
00:33:39Your mercy is boundless, my lady
00:33:41I will discipline the girl at once
00:33:45Come, my lady
00:33:46Let us go
00:33:51Are you hurt?
00:33:52I am fine, my lord
00:33:55You've grown so thin
00:33:57The northern winds have been cruel to you
00:33:59You must stay longer this time
00:34:01Your name day is soon
00:34:03I knitted you a pair of thick winter gloves
00:34:05Let me fetch them for you
00:34:07Wait right here for me
00:34:11That old woman
00:34:13Her devotion to you is genuine
00:34:15It is
00:34:17She has been here since I was a boy
00:34:19Always kind to me
00:34:20When I was injured as a boy
00:34:22She sneaked me pouches
00:34:24And every year on my name day
00:34:26When my own sister was lost to me
00:34:28She brought me warm broth and fresh bread
00:34:32With her
00:34:33I almost remember what having a sister felt like
00:34:36If that is true
00:34:37You should show her more grace while you can
00:34:39I have seen the shadow on her
00:34:41She has but a few days left
00:34:44Do not wait until tomorrow
00:34:46To realize what you have lost
00:34:51Listen to me, child
00:34:53Never cross paths with Morgana again
00:34:56She thinks she owns us
00:34:58Patience, my sweet girl
00:35:00I'm securing your future
00:35:02Play the game
00:35:04Let her think she's win
00:35:05Soon, everything will be yours
00:35:09Lady Morgana
00:35:10Lady Ashfield has sent me
00:35:12To return the Hartman Shard
00:35:14To its rightful owner
00:35:15We have heard
00:35:16When you take back what is yours
00:35:19You offer a reading in return
00:35:21Lady Ashworth has written her question
00:35:24Right here on this parchment
00:35:25Take it, Cedric
00:35:32I will not answer this question
00:35:34Because the Hartman Shard is a fake
00:35:37What?
00:35:40A fake?
00:35:41Someone must have switched it when she wasn't looking
00:35:44I'll get to the bottom of this
00:35:46Tonight
00:35:46Don't
00:35:48What is mine
00:35:49Will always return to my hands
00:35:52Lady Morgana
00:35:54Commander Ashford
00:35:57The Emperor begs your aid
00:35:59The Empress door wager is dying
00:36:02The Royal Physicians can do nothing for her
00:36:03His Majesty demands you come at once
00:36:06Please, My Lady
00:36:07You are her only hope
00:36:12Lead the way
00:36:15Useless fools
00:36:16What good are you if she dies?
00:36:19Your Majesty
00:36:20Lady Morgana has arrived
00:36:25Morgana, thank the gods you have come
00:36:27Please, you must help her
00:36:29Mother is
00:36:29Her flame has burned out
00:36:31Her time is over
00:36:33Prepare the crypt
00:36:35Lies
00:36:35That is a lie
00:36:36Your Majesty
00:36:40I can save the Empress
00:36:44Morgana
00:36:44If you can't save her
00:36:46Stop making pathetic excuses
00:36:48I say
00:36:50You have no real power
00:36:52You're nothing but a fraudulent witch
00:36:54Selina
00:36:55This is a royal chamber
00:36:56Not your playground
00:36:57Your Grace
00:36:58I can heal her
00:36:59On my life
00:37:00Selina Frost
00:37:02You should know
00:37:03Cedric knows it well
00:37:04My prophecies
00:37:06Are never wrong
00:37:07Care to make a wager then?
00:37:09On what?
00:37:10If I win
00:37:11I want the Emperor
00:37:12To decree my marriage to Cedric
00:37:14And
00:37:15I want your head
00:37:17Severed from your neck
00:37:18Your Grace
00:37:19Madness
00:37:20This is absolute madness
00:37:22Gods
00:37:22Drag this madwoman away
00:37:24I accept
00:37:30Very well
00:37:31Give it a try
00:37:34If you truly cure my mother
00:37:36I will grant your every wish
00:37:45So you stole the Hartman's schnar
00:37:47Cedric
00:37:48I'll be a master healer
00:37:50Just like your sister
00:37:52Then you'll finally see
00:37:54I'm the only one for you
00:37:56Forcing fate
00:37:58Only brings ruin
00:37:59If you insist on this path
00:38:02You alone will choke on the ashes
00:38:06Save your cheap parlor tricks
00:38:08Healing the sick is God's work
00:38:10There's no price for that
00:38:13By the old blood
00:38:14I command the vessel
00:38:16Take the living spark
00:38:18Feed the dying flame
00:38:22Awaken
00:38:27Wake up
00:38:31Wake
00:38:34Wake
00:38:36Wake
00:38:41What's happening?
00:38:44It burns
00:38:45It burns
00:38:46It burns
00:38:47It burns
00:38:48Oh God
00:38:52Water
00:38:53Please
00:39:01Mother! Mother! Wake up!
00:39:06My face! No! How did this happen?
00:39:13You stole my magic, but you never asked, when the spell steals a living spark, whose spark does it take?
00:39:23Move along. Get out. Move, before I drag you out.
00:39:29Know who stands before you.
00:39:32My lord, I did not know.
00:39:34Maren.
00:39:35My lord, you're mistaken. She's not Maren. She's just an old crone. Nothing more. My lord!
00:39:41Get out.
00:39:42Yes, my lord!
00:39:48My lord, I'm nobody. Just an old crone. Nobody of importance. Just a servant.
00:39:55This is the inner sanctum.
00:39:57Only the bloodline, only the Hartman's Shard-bearer can come here.
00:40:03Let me see you.
00:40:12That scar. Where did this scar come from? Only Maren bore this mark. Maren?
00:40:24Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:29Whose life did you think you were spending?
00:40:32The Ashworth Empire isn't built on medicine. It's built on a parasite.
00:40:37It trades your years for theirs.
00:40:40A simple fever costs you a month.
00:40:43A fatal wound strips the youth right off your bones.
00:40:49Sick Empress was already dead. Her time was up.
00:40:53Give her every hour you have left. It won't buy her a single day.
00:40:58Then what about Maren? Explain Maren!
00:41:01She bore the Shard for thirty years. Pulled thousands from the grave.
00:41:05Then she should be dust! She should be a rotting corpse!
00:41:09Why is she flawless? Why not her?
00:41:13Look at me. It took everything. My skin, my life. Why just me?
00:41:19You said she was perfect.
00:41:22Cedric, you believed she hid from you for ten years.
00:41:26It never crossed your mind that the woman she became was standing right in front of you.
00:41:32And you looked right through her.
00:41:35Stop. What does that mean?
00:41:38You're a commander. Open your eyes.
00:41:41Every year on your birthday, that old servant, the only one who still cooks for you,
00:41:46who is she, Cedric?
00:41:51Lord Cedric, wait!
00:41:52You can't go in!
00:41:53My lord! She said no visitors!
00:41:55My lord!
00:41:56My lord!
00:42:02Maren.
00:42:04Gods.
00:42:05It's really you.
00:42:09Why?
00:42:10All these years, why didn't you tell me?
00:42:14Every time I used the shard, it stole a year of my life. Burned away.
00:42:20Then one morning, I looked in the glass. White hair. Hands shaking like a crone.
00:42:26Maren! Let me in!
00:42:27My lord, no!
00:42:28Get off! I want my sister!
00:42:31Let me go! Maren!
00:42:34I couldn't let you see a monster.
00:42:37No. Stop it.
00:42:39Don't ever say that.
00:42:41Look at me. You are Maren.
00:42:43The bravest person I know.
00:42:45But I abandoned you.
00:42:47You gave me your entire life.
00:42:50And I was blind.
00:42:51I didn't see my own sister.
00:42:53I'm sorry.
00:42:54Oh, my brave little brother.
00:42:57It's all right now.
00:43:06Cedric, tomorrow is your name day.
00:43:08I haven't made your broth yet.
00:43:11Maren, please.
00:43:12Just rest.
00:43:13You made it for me every year.
00:43:15My whole life.
00:43:17Tomorrow, I'll make it for you.
00:43:24This is my fault.
00:43:25I looked right at her and saw nothing.
00:43:28She hid her hands, traded her life away, and I just stood there.
00:43:32He used the Heartmen's Shard to drain her year by year while I watched and called it nothing.
00:43:37She made a choice.
00:43:38The Shard needed a vessel.
00:43:40She offered herself.
00:43:42She healed them.
00:43:43She gave them time.
00:43:46She gave you time.
00:43:47That was all she ever wanted.
00:43:49I looked right past her for years.
00:43:52Thank you for stripping away every excuse I had.
00:43:56I have her back.
00:43:57Whatever it costs you, I swear on my blade I will repay that debt.
00:44:01She hasn't eaten in days.
00:44:03I made this for her.
00:44:04I don't know if she'll want it, but I need to give her something.
00:44:06I'm going to take it to her now.
00:44:08Wait.
00:44:09Something wrong?
00:44:12It's nothing.
00:44:13Go to her.
00:44:14I won't be long.
00:44:25Maren!
00:44:26Maren, wake up!
00:44:28No, no, please!
00:44:29Maren!
00:44:31The scale always balances.
00:44:36Get away from me!
00:44:38Don't touch me!
00:44:40I want my sister!
00:44:43Get away!
00:44:45Where is she?
00:44:49I want my sister!
00:44:52Cedric.
00:44:54I'm here.
00:44:55Look at me.
00:44:56Don't touch me!
00:44:58You old witch!
00:45:02She's dead, isn't she?
00:45:04She left me.
00:45:06Everyone always leaves!
00:45:08But I'm staying.
00:45:10To a legion.
00:45:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:45:15I'm here.
00:45:17Right here.
00:45:18I've got you.
00:45:23Lord Ashworth.
00:45:25She saved my family.
00:45:27She saved so many.
00:45:28We had to come.
00:45:30Everyone knew how much she meant to you, my lord.
00:45:32Her loss leaves a wound in all of us.
00:45:35She gave everything.
00:45:37Healed strangers.
00:45:39Never once asked for anything in return.
00:45:42Even when it broke her.
00:45:44Even when it cost her.
00:45:46Her life.
00:45:48I watched her disappear.
00:45:50I watched her disappear.
00:45:51Day by day.
00:45:53If the gods would take me instead, I'd go willingly.
00:45:56And yet you stood there.
00:45:58Every scar on her body.
00:46:00Every year taken from her.
00:46:03His hands did that.
00:46:04All of it.
00:46:06Every shriveled vein on Maren's hands.
00:46:09Every year carved from her face.
00:46:11He arranged all of it.
00:46:13Her life meant nothing to him.
00:46:16He only cared about the gold.
00:46:18The price her dying breath could buy.
00:46:20Oracle, please.
00:46:22Everyone here knows the Ashworth name.
00:46:25We heal the sick.
00:46:26We never ask for coin.
00:46:28We serve the people.
00:46:29You cannot just walk in here and spread lies about my family.
00:46:35If you took no coin, then tell me what you've been hiding in the dark.
00:46:40Every transaction.
00:46:42Every name.
00:46:43Every debt you buried.
00:46:59These are property deeds.
00:47:01Hundreds of them.
00:47:02The Ashhouse fled the Highlords dry in secret.
00:47:05They traded healing for mansions.
00:47:07For land.
00:47:08We thought you were a saint, Aldrich.
00:47:10You're nothing but a leech.
00:47:12A parasite.
00:47:13You stole my sister's life.
00:47:15You drained Maren dry to build your filthy empire and left her to rot in the dirt.
00:47:21She gave everything and you ground her bones into your crown.
00:47:25That is not the whole of his sin.
00:47:27When Maren's face withered from what he forced on her, he turned away from her.
00:47:32He took a lover in secret.
00:47:35A secret mistress.
00:47:37A hidden life.
00:47:38There is no one.
00:47:40You are lying.
00:47:41The child you had with her has been living under this very roof.
00:47:44You call her your ward.
00:47:46You let her do as she pleases.
00:47:48Do you deny that Selene is your blood?
00:47:53You gave Selene full run of this house.
00:47:55Is she your bastard?
00:47:57Is that why you let her destroy my sister?
00:48:00Oracle.
00:48:02I have always bowed to your vision.
00:48:05You cannot lay this at my feet.
00:48:07I am innocent.
00:48:07If there was money missing from the patients, Maran did it herself.
00:48:12Plain greed.
00:48:13She used the sick to line her own pockets.
00:48:23Look out.
00:48:24Get back.
00:48:26That's gold.
00:48:28He hid it in the tablet.
00:48:32The heavens don't care for your lies.
00:48:35But I do.
00:48:36You built a dynasty on stolen breath.
00:48:39You are no heir to what I left here.
00:48:42You are a parasite.
00:48:46My sister is dead.
00:48:49She died a ruined servant under your roof.
00:48:52And you dare stand over her coffin and call her a thief!
00:48:56I will cut you apart right here.
00:48:58Cedric, be reasonable.
00:49:00Look at what she had become.
00:49:01Who could look at that face and not be sickened?
00:49:04You are no blood of mine.
00:49:06You are nothing to me.
00:49:08Is this my fault?
00:49:09I would have taken the burden on myself.
00:49:11I swear it!
00:49:12But the healer's grace, it binds only to the women.
00:49:15It rejected me.
00:49:16It was never my choice.
00:49:18We kept her fed.
00:49:19Kept a roof over her head.
00:49:21She owed this family her service.
00:49:23It was her duty to plead for us.
00:49:26A lie.
00:49:27I forged the healer's grace.
00:49:29I wrote its laws.
00:49:30It does not choose by blood or gender.
00:49:33It chooses by the will to sacrifice.
00:49:35It rejected you because it looked inside your chest
00:49:39and found nothing at all.
00:49:40You let a child wither in your place and called it fate.
00:49:45You said you wished to carry the burden.
00:49:47You wanted the ember's power for yourself.
00:49:50You wanted it all.
00:49:53Very well.
00:49:57Let us see how much of it you can bear.
00:50:04Very well.
00:50:31No, get off me!
00:50:33I am the lord of this!
00:50:37No!
00:50:39No!
00:50:41No!
00:50:41No!
00:50:51Every year he stole from Maren.
00:50:54They just ripped it back.
00:51:15Maren!
00:51:15Can you hear me?
00:51:16Look at me!
00:51:19You...
00:51:20You came back.
00:51:27Remember your oath.
00:51:42The Hartman Shard.
00:51:44It's time it returned to you.
00:51:46You took another piece of your power straight into yourself.
00:51:49Will you absorb this one too?
00:51:52No.
00:51:54No.
00:52:07No.
00:52:19No.
00:52:23Please! Help us! Have mercy!
00:52:28You're breathing. I watched you stop. I thought you were gone.
00:52:33You're shaking. Your birthday is soon. I still owe you bread and broth.
00:52:39I'll make it myself. Just don't close your eyes again. Promise me that.
00:52:45Her face still carries what the years cost her, but the thirty years Aldric took from her have been stripped
00:52:51from his bones.
00:52:53They're hers now. Her hand is healed. The debt is paid. She will never serve in the dark again. She
00:53:00lives. The transaction is complete.
00:53:07Oracle, you didn't owe us this. I will carry this mercy until my last breath.
00:53:17You gave my sister back her life. My life is no longer my own. It belongs to you.
00:53:24Every breath I draw belongs to your cause. I am your shield. Your blade. Point me at your enemies.
00:53:30Wherever you walk, I walk with you. Until my blood runs cold.
00:53:38Talk to me. Did the exorcism drain you? Are you hurt?
00:53:43I am not hurt. When I pulled the Hartman's shard from your sister, I absorbed thirty years of her memories.
00:53:49Every single day she spent trapped in that house.
00:53:53There's an echo now. A pressure in my chest.
00:53:56You have a rule. You reclaim a piece of your power. You owe the bloodline one truth.
00:54:01One ember. One question.
00:54:04Maren gave her whole youth to keep me alive.
00:54:07She never got to ask her question.
00:54:10Maren.
00:54:11So I'll ask it for her.
00:54:13Look into your prophecy, Morgana.
00:54:15Did my sister's sacrifice mean anything?
00:54:17Tell me.
00:54:20Your sister asked what waits for you in the north.
00:54:22I didn't lie to her.
00:54:24So I'll tell you exactly what I saw.
00:54:26There is a line drawn across your fate.
00:54:29A terminal point.
00:54:31If you follow me to Ironwall.
00:54:33If you walk into Ravencrest at my side.
00:54:35You will stand before someone and bleed until there is nothing left.
00:54:39And you will die.
00:54:40That is the end of it.
00:54:42In front of who?
00:54:44Who do I bleed for?
00:54:46Me.
00:54:47Knowing this.
00:54:49Knowing that every step north is a step towards your own grave.
00:54:53And you still want to come with me.
00:54:55Forget it.
00:54:56It doesn't matter.
00:55:00You are ordered to stay behind.
00:55:02I walk into Ironwall alone.
00:55:04I don't need a shield.
00:55:06I swore an oath to you.
00:55:08I stand between you and whatever comes.
00:55:11I'm going.
00:55:17I told you how this ends.
00:55:19Are you not afraid?
00:55:22I lead the Obsidian Guard.
00:55:24I have walked into the dark more times than I can count.
00:55:28Every time they said I wouldn't walk out.
00:55:32Every time they said the odds were broken.
00:55:35And I am still standing here.
00:55:37Let them come.
00:55:38I will survive it.
00:55:39And I will walk you out of Ironwall myself.
00:55:44You must think I'm completely useless with a blade.
00:55:47I've been sickly since childhood.
00:55:49My sister-in-law handles the killing.
00:55:51She lets me read instead.
00:55:53I apologize for the gate.
00:55:55It's just...
00:55:55Lately.
00:55:56The moment the sun sets, the dead walk.
00:55:58Vesta fears the undead soldiers breaching the walls, slaughtering our people.
00:56:03Please forgive the locked gates, my lady.
00:56:05These undead outside your walls.
00:56:07What is their origin?
00:56:08We don't know.
00:56:09Not since my grandfather fell.
00:56:11They don't discern friend from foe.
00:56:13They just butcher.
00:56:14For six months we've been trapped here.
00:56:16Powerless.
00:56:17Thorn was injured?
00:56:19Yes.
00:56:20Ambushed by the dead weeks ago.
00:56:22He hasn't woken since.
00:56:25Take me to him.
00:56:27Of course.
00:56:28Finn!
00:56:35You dare test me, boy?
00:56:37Who authorized you to breach the protocol?
00:56:40Who gave you leave to welcome stray vagras into my fortress?
00:56:44Do Frost Stokes' laws mean nothing to you?
00:56:47Vesper, wait.
00:56:48This is Lady Morgana.
00:56:49Grandfather foresaw this.
00:56:51He said a woman named Morgana would come for the Shard.
00:56:54We must show her absolute respect.
00:56:56The Patriarch is dying.
00:56:57He needs silence, not scavengers chasing fairy tales.
00:57:00Commander Vesper.
00:57:02Even the Emperor bows to Lady Morgana.
00:57:05I suggest you mind your tone before I cut out your tongue.
00:57:10Damn your southern king!
00:57:12Here, we follow north laws.
00:57:14Your laws.
00:57:16Tell me.
00:57:17What does the north demand?
00:57:20You want to see him?
00:57:21Bleed for it.
00:57:23Best me in combat.
00:57:24Win, and you get your audience.
00:57:26And your precious shard.
00:57:28Lose, and you crawl back south.
00:57:31Frostbite does not serve the weak.
00:57:33I'll gladly test your iron, Commander.
00:57:36Good!
00:57:37A real man!
00:57:38Bring me my steel!
00:57:49Hold the gate!
00:57:51I am Cedric Ashworth, Commander of the Obsidian Guards.

01:09:53oh
01:09:54oh
01:10:04oh
01:10:05oh
01:10:05oh
01:10:05oh
01:10:18Oh, man.
01:10:35Sis, you came.
01:10:39Sister, I... What is happening to me? Where are we?
01:10:43Your mortal life is ended, but your obsession anchored you here.
01:10:49Your soul was twisted by inner demons and the Shard.
01:10:53You are nothing but a lingering phantom now.
01:11:09What did you want to ask?
01:11:13All these years, alone in the dark.
01:11:20Were you alright, Morgana?
01:11:36You won't touch her!
01:11:40I was fine.
01:11:46That is good.
01:12:25Witch.
01:12:27Witch.
01:12:38So, this is the death you saw for me?
01:12:42You are never wrong.
01:12:46Morgana, it seems I won't be here to help you.
01:12:51Take back what is yours.
01:13:09Morgana, I make no grand claims, but I swear, I will help you take it all back.
01:13:33Monster.
01:13:35Monster, you godless monster!
01:13:38Monster.
01:13:51This world is sick.
01:13:59Finn, why would you do this?
01:14:02My brother, he died because the crown...
01:14:07Because the crown never sent reinforcements.
01:14:10He bled out in the snow.
01:14:13And ever since then, I haven't seen you smile.
01:14:16Not truly.
01:14:18I was so close.
01:14:21Just a little more.
01:14:23And I could have taken you.
01:14:25Away from this prison.
01:14:29You foolish boy.
01:14:32Frostfire is now prison.
01:14:34Look at the people behind these walls.
01:14:37The thousands we pulled from the slaughter.
01:14:39The soldiers I trained with my own hands.
01:14:42Every block of black stone.
01:14:43Every frozen inch of the north.
01:14:45Death holds my blood.
01:14:47Nothing has ever trapped me.
01:14:49This is the line I chose to hold.
01:14:52Frostfire is my home, Finn.
01:14:54And I will defend it.
01:14:56Until I break.
01:15:00I thought...
01:15:01I thought you hated the crown.
01:15:05I only wanted to break your chains.
01:15:12I do hate the crown, but I love the north.
01:15:16I love our people.
01:15:18I am holding this line for your brother.
01:15:20So the children here.
01:15:21So my own daughter can sleep without fear of the slaughter.
01:15:25So it was just me.
01:15:27I was the only one who couldn't let go.
01:15:32Take me away.
01:15:34I will.
01:15:36I will.
01:15:36I'll take you south.
01:15:38I want to sleep beneath the roses.
01:15:47Sixty years ago, to buy this realm a breath of life.
01:15:52I gave my own flesh and soul to the forge.
01:15:56No attachments.
01:15:58No desires.
01:15:59I told you to run.
01:16:02But of course, fate demands its due.
01:16:14Would you still draw your blade for me, knowing it will only lead to your grave?
01:16:19I am going.
01:16:21I've commanded the vanguard for years.
01:16:24I've faced death more times than I can count.
01:16:27But I have never lost.
01:16:29And I will not lose this time either.
01:16:47Why the Frost Spire?
01:16:49Why Thorn Ravencrest?
01:16:51My youngest student.
01:16:52Still breathes.
01:16:54I need to see him.
01:16:56And the Ravencrest piece of the crown.
01:16:58What is it, exactly?
01:17:00A drop of my own blood.
01:17:02The Undying Spark.
01:17:03Your blood?
01:17:04No wonder your skin is like ice.
01:17:07Morgana, how did you lose your eyes?
01:17:10Sixty winters ago, the realm was drowning in its own blood.
01:17:15To buy them a dawn, I offered my own flesh and soul.
01:17:20I stripped everything away.
01:17:23Bound it to the obsidian.
01:17:24Twelve fragments.
01:17:26Given to twelve disciples.
01:17:28To save this world.
01:17:30Sixty years have passed.
01:17:31My students took that power.
01:17:34And forged twelve great bloodlines.
01:17:37And now, there is peace.
01:17:41Now I take back what is mine.
01:17:44Morgana, what else are you missing?
01:17:46You never change your boots.
01:17:48I've never seen you eat.
01:17:50Or sleep, for that matter.
01:17:52Your hair turned white.
01:17:53Silence.
01:17:55Silence.
01:18:04Morgana, I will help you get it all back.
01:18:08Every last piece.
01:18:11You have my word.
01:18:14No matter what it takes.
01:18:16No matter the cost.
01:18:23That shard of the crown was torn from my own veins.
01:18:29A single drop of my heart's blood.
01:18:34I never thought you would waste such a priceless piece of yourself on me.
01:18:38I never thought I'd even be alive.
01:18:41My lady, you always said your prophecies are absolute.
01:18:44Never wrong.
01:18:45To give me the shard.
01:18:46To force me to live.
01:18:48Isn't this defying the gods themselves?
01:18:50Taking the heart back was a mistake.
01:18:59Morgana.
01:19:25My lady, forgive me.
01:19:28Assassins!
01:19:44This southern blood magic.
01:19:47They say one puppet butchers ten men.
01:19:49And I tore them apart before they could even blink.
01:19:52I feel like I could rip through solid iron.
01:19:54You were bleeding to death.
01:19:56No medicine could save you.
01:19:57So I bound a fraction of my shard to your fading heart.
01:20:01Tethered your life to mine.
01:20:03With my power in your veins, no mortal man can stand against you.
01:20:07You could have run.
01:20:09You chose to stay.
01:20:12You accepted my gift.
01:20:14From now on, you are bound to my will.
01:20:18Are we clear?
01:20:21So I am no better than these husks?
01:20:23I'm just your puppet.
01:20:25Do not compare yourself to such pathetic trash.
01:20:29They are nothing like you.
01:20:32You.
01:20:35You.
01:20:36You are my masterpiece.
01:20:39You.
01:20:54You are my masterpiece.
01:21:00Shard.
01:21:01Shard or no shard, the Ravencrasts will hold this line.
01:21:05To the last breath.
01:21:10The Horde is at our walls.
01:21:12I ride with the Vanguard.
01:21:14Godspeed.
01:21:27Why didn't you tell her about the warding spikes you planted?
01:21:31The wards are nothing compared to the primordial blood still boiling in their veins.
01:21:37They will survive.
01:21:41What's happening?
01:21:42Are you all right?
01:21:43I feel a disturbance.
01:21:44A forbading sensation.
01:21:46I have looked ahead.
01:21:48I wish I had not.
01:21:50The road before us is dark, Cedric.
01:22:08We must push forward.
01:22:09Wherever you go, I will follow.
01:22:12Where to next?
01:22:14South.
01:22:15To the Scarlet Lands.
01:22:17I want to meet the fool who thought they could kill me.
01:22:22My lady, please, rest inside.
01:22:25I will bring it to you myself.
01:22:27It is exactly where you left it, my lady.
01:22:30Untouched.
01:22:31You give it up so easily.
01:22:33It was never mine to keep.
01:22:35You know what it built.
01:22:36Your entire dynasty.
01:22:39Hundreds' years of power.
01:22:41Titles.
01:22:41The Crown's favor.
01:22:43The gift of seeing into men's hearts.
01:22:45Without it, you are nothing but a blind man stumbling in the dark.
01:22:49The blood covenant my grandfather sworn binds every generation after him.
01:22:54House Alistair owes you everything it has.
01:22:56And everything it is.
01:22:58You have my word.
01:23:00I will honor the pact.
01:23:01Willingly.
01:23:04The old man bred well.
01:23:06An obedient heir.
01:23:14Since when does my father kneel for peasants?
01:23:18The Iris Ember, my lady.
01:23:21A covenant is a trade.
01:23:23I take back what is mine.
01:23:25And I leave you one truth.
01:23:28The old laws demand it.
01:23:30Ask your question.
01:23:32My lady.
01:23:34In a few days, Isabella weds the Crown Prince.
01:23:37I need to...
01:23:39I need to know what waits for her.
01:23:41You want to know if she lives.
01:23:44Without my Ember watching over her.
01:23:46What her crown will cost.
01:23:48Yes.
01:23:49Please, tell me her fate.
01:23:52Bring the girl to me.
01:23:55Mother.
01:23:56The night before my royal wedding,
01:23:58some blind woman in funeral rags walks into our home.
01:24:02And father knelt for her.
01:24:04Tell me the truth.
01:24:05Is she one of his lowborn mistresses?
01:24:08Crawling here to beg for coins?
01:24:11If we allow that woman to stand in our halls
01:24:14without putting her on her knees,
01:24:16she will believe she belongs here.
01:24:20And we cannot have that.
01:24:22Then let's remind her how this house treats beggars.
