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 whose 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, Hawke.
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.
00:01:23I've never seen somebody.
00:01:25There 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.
00:01:31You've come home.
00:01:55Oh, my God.
00:02:26You switch your locker, and I eat the turdys.
00:02:47This nail I can, you find it's a loss in the end of the night.
00:02:50May you offend them from Harawitcher.
00:02:54Fool!
00:02:56How are you so heavy with drink that you fail to recognize the spawn of Ortigen?
00:03:09Prince Paesant, forgive Alduin's impertinence.
00:03:16And he will be punished.
00:03:20What will 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.
00:03:42And yet you ride here.
00:03:45Unannounced.
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.
00:03:55You 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.
00:04:08Now you want me to help you take it back.
00:04:13They 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, and my father let you settle these lands.
00:04:54Let.
00:04:56Our pact was sealed in blood.
00:05:01You will be held to it.
00:05:17The son of Ortegen is right.
00:05:21A pact sealed in blood
00:05:23is to be honored.
00:05:26None to death.
00:05:35No!
00:05:39No!
00:05:48We'll maneuver at the hotel.
00:05:50Forster.
00:05:52Yeah.
00:05:53But where you try to come over that front ladder.
00:05:57Forster.
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:58We'll wait.
00:05:59For me.
00:06:00Monday.
00:07:57Hail the Fisher King.

00:10:22and yet he speaks truly
00:10:25this land is in a welter of confusion there are more kings than sheep more princes than crones on a

00:12:33You fuss over me like a child.
00:12:36While other men call me immortal.
00:13:00Fisher King's sword.
00:13:03Your sword.
00:13:09I thought it lost.
00:13:14Yet it has been here.
00:13:16Waiting 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.
00:13:43I do not offer it to Aurelius.
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
00:14:25to keep your vow.
00:14:34I wish you were not leaving so soon.
00:14:38Besides, the fish are always
00:14:41on their best behavior
00:14:42when 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
00:14:57I was alone with?
00:14:59Who else?
00:15:01I would dearly love
00:15:03to spend but a moment
00:15:04in my Lord's presence.
00:15:06You are fortunate
00:15:08among men, Merlin.
00:15:13Go.
00:15:14I have been greedy
00:15:16with your time.
00:15:18We will discuss
00:15:19these things again
00:15:20when you return.
00:15:24You fear for your sins,
00:15:25Grandfather.
00:15:27But surely your sins
00:15:29are no greater
00:15:29than any other man's.
00:15:34I had forgotten
00:15:35how much you see
00:15:36with those golden eyes,
00:15:37Hawk.
00:15:41Yet in truth,
00:15:43my sins are too numerous
00:15:45to count.
00:15:48And I gave life
00:15:49to Morgian.
00:16:00I've seen her.
00:16:04Morgian.
00:16:07In the fire,
00:16:08in the stars.
00:16:14I do not know
00:16:15if God was with me
00:16:16in Caliphon
00:16:16all these many years,
00:16:18Grandfather.
00:16:20But I know Morgian was.
00:16:25Trust in Jesus, Hawk.
00:16:28He is the only hope
00:16:29for men like us.
00:16:35If hope we have.
00:17:19I know Morgian.
00:17:38Sir, tell me about this place, Marodanum.
00:17:44Built by the Romans in the house of a plentiful valley.
00:17:48Not 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.
00:18:00Pelaeus 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?
00:18:12Yeah, woods boy. Not mine.
00:18:15You surprise me, Uther.
00:18:17I didn't take you for one who believed in magic.
00:18:21Oh, when a man catches the gaze of a beautiful woman,
00:18:25is that not a form of magic?
00:18:28Or when a king, who cunning and deceit, rests fealty from his people,
00:18:34is that not a sorcery of a kind?
00:18:37I know.
00:18:38I don't know what she wants.
00:18:57I see you.
00:18:59I see you.
00:19:00Merlin, I'm here. Come find me.
00:19:02Let's go get you.
00:19:05Let's go get you.
00:19:07You only need the world.
00:19:09No.
00:19:09Why do you hesitate?
00:19:11You need to smile.
00:19:12You know what you must do.
00:19:14Master?
00:19:17What is it?
00:19:41Come on.
00:19:42All right, come on.
00:19:42Keep it covered.
00:19:43Yeah.
00:19:44Come on.
00:20:19Delightful place.
00:20:34What 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,
00:20:48Pendar and the Red Sword was king.
00:20:51Myrthyn.
00:20:56Let them in at once.
00:20:57See to their horses.
00:21:11The same raid that took Malus took the town.
00:21:16And the teefat of my father tried to say what he could, but there wasn't much left.
00:21:20Not, it 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, well, since you've been away.
00:21:37Will you sit at our table, my lord?
00:21:41Most kind.
00:21:47Why does she offer him the king's seat?
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, but I could not give up the chase.
00:22:32These days it's rare when I get occasion to knock an arrow.
00:22:36A fine prize, Merig at Taldryg.
00:22:40Sun, meet our guests.
00:22:44Uther, Peleus, and Myrth 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 have.
00:23:09Concluded 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.
00:23:40Well, 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'll 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 rake.
00:24:43Am I not the commander of our army?
00:24:45Yes, an honor you insist on squandering at every turn.
00:24:48What choice do I have when you orbit tied by...
00:24:49Separates!
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 emirates would prefer to stay in his old quarters.
00:25:15The king's quarters?
00:25:20Yes, should he wish to him.
00:25:22We insist.
00:25:23Thank you, my lady.
00:25:56Ma, then, 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.
00:26:43There, I do not.
00:26:51I don't know.
00:27:13I don't know.
00:27:33I don't know.
00:27:41I don't know.
00:27:48I don't know.
00:27:49I don't know.
00:27:54I don't know.
00:27:56I don't know.
00:28:25I don't know.
00:28:29I don't know.
00:29:25I don't know.
00:29:28I don't know.
00:29:45I don't know.
00:30:12I don't know.
00:30:14I don't know.
00:30:15I don't know.
00:30:28I don't know.
00:30:29I don't know.
00:30:32I have a word with you.
00:30:35In private.
00:30:38Of course.
00:30:40Do keep Uther out of trouble.
00:30:52Shall we seek out a morsel to eat?
00:30:54I don't know.
00:31:11I don't know.
00:31:13I don't know.
00:31:15I don't know.
00:31:22I don't know.
00:31:30I don't know.
00:31:32I don't know.
00:31:34eat here.
00:31:35Only wine.
00:31:36And 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 meridunum
00:32:06spend all its days drinking
00:32:07rather than training
00:32:10but you see we are training
00:32:12right here in the darkness
00:32:14of this hovel
00:32:15with nothing to slake our thirst
00:32:18but this sorry excuse for wine
00:32:20to 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
00:32:44yes
00:32:46and your son is next in line to the throne
00:32:51Merrick 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
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
00:33:13provisions are strained even at the king's table
00:33:18but 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 for the better part of a year
00:33:37like 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
00:33:53and 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'm 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
00:34:12we'd rather suffer the sword opposing that snake
00:34:15than let him take what's right for the hour
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, Merrick
00:34:28I 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
00:34:55to let this insult go unanswered
00:34:58no king would suffer such humiliation, Miley
00:35:01but 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 Merlin
00:35:11returns 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 Merlin slew seventy men with his own hands
00:35:52within these very gates
00:35:54at Gathe
00:35:55at Gathe he slew five hundred
00:36:02no man is capable of such a thing
00:36:04no 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
00:36:15none can stand before him
00:36:18I can assure you friends
00:36:22the only thing that matters in battle is brute strength
00:36:27magic is for druids and bored women
00:36:33perhaps
00:36:36but he
00:36:37is legend
00:36:38in these lands
00:36:40he is more
00:36:41than a king
00:36:43he is nearly
00:36:44an otherworldly being
00:36:49he will take the talk
00:36:50from my father
00:36:51and declare himself
00:36:53high king
00:36:54before he is through
00:36:56and neither you
00:36:57nor 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
00:37:29Uther
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
00:37:41you 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
00:38:28don't kill you
00:38:34don't kill you
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'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
00:39:46and 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?
00:40:28Just short of wrath, it all.
00:40:35My warband will not fight for Aurelius
00:40:38while Morkant threatens our homes.
00:40:40Well, then it's a good thing we have the battle chief of Britain
00:40:42to bring the Belgae to heel.
00:40:47I'm...
00:40:48I'm afraid I must decline.
00:40:51Uther?
00:40:52I will join a fight against the Morkant.
00:40:56However,
00:40:58only 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
00:41:07to revive a man.
00:41:29I'm afraid I'll do it.
00:41:31I'll do it.
00:41:34I'll do it.
00:41:35I'll do it.
00:41:35Thank you, Uther.
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,
00:42:06but when they do, we do what we can to lend aid.
00:42:10Care for the dying?
00:42:13When you could prevent the 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
00:42:24is an illusion.
00:42:27Each year,
00:42:28our numbers decline.
00:42:31But a child has been born to us since.
00:42:37Our people are not long
00:42:39for 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 course.
00:43:01We are too few.
00:43:14Where are the Saxon now?
00:43:28Lord 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,
00:43:39if not people of our word?
00:43:44I say,
00:43:46Angus makes his men fight to the death
00:43:48for his amusement.
00:43:52You must not believe everything you hear.
00:43:55Aurelius,
00:43:55on the other hand,
00:43:57is 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
00:44:10when all is said and done.
00:44:16But if it is your desire
00:44:17to break faith with the Saxons,
00:44:19then he might oppose you.
00:44:23But I admit,
00:44:25I do worry how he will receive you
00:44:28if word comes to him
00:44:29of your dealings with Angus.
00:44:31Yes.
00:44:33Yes, we must not have him
00:44:34taking you for a traitor.
00:44:36A traitor?
00:44:37I had not thought of that.
00:44:40Surely anyone suspected
00:44:42of conspiring with the Saxons
00:44:43would 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
00:45:11of 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,
00:45:55son of Constance,
00:45:56but foolish.
00:45:58What would you have me do?
00:46:00What kind of king would I be
00:46:01if 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 a bavar
00:46:18asking you to point me
00:46:19in the right direction.
00:46:25I have only one thing
00:46:26to offer my people.
00:46:30Everything.
00:46:39Our soldiers cannot ride with you
00:46:40to Riantha.
00:46:43But
00:46:45perhaps they will escort
00:46:46their princess on a ride
00:46:47through our easternmost holdings.
00:46:49My lady...
00:46:49But we cannot leave
00:46:50our territory, Aurelius.
00:46:52If you choose to engage the Saxon,
00:46:55you do it alone.
00:46:56There should be a king,
00:46:57a child.
00:47:00It is absolutely煽い.
00:47:08Let's pray.
00:47:41Stop there!
00:47:52What is your business here?
00:47:55You 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.
00:48:21I do not intend to make it easy.
00:48:29Let the hand of this man!
00:48:30Oh, my God.
00:49:02Oh, my God.
00:49:30If I do not return, tell my brother I died noble death.
00:49:37God! God!
00:49:46God!
00:49:54God!
00:49:55God!
00:50:04I love you!
00:50:08No!
00:51:05Oh, my God.
00:51:15To be continued...
00:51:51Let's go.
00:52:35Let's go.
00:52:37Let's go.
00:53:17Let's go.
00:53:20Let's go.
00:53:33Let's go.
00:53:34Let's go.
00:54:06Thank you, milady.
00:54:09Don't thank me yet.
00:54:11By the time this night is through, we may both be banished from the summerlands.
00:54:39Whoever you are, you've chosen a rather inopportune time to visit.
00:54:44I'm enjoying my supper.
00:54:49You know very well who I know who you claim to be, but why should I take your word for
00:54:58it?
00:54:59I come with an offer of peace from Uther, battle chief of Britain and brother of High King Aurelius himself.
00:55:08There'll be no peace in the army.
00:55:09There'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, your 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.
00:55:32My men will cut down your army in short order, if 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.
00:55:53No one else is my concern.
00:55:55And how will you defend the Belgae when the Saxon horde marches across your fields?
00:56:01When was the last time you stood with a naked blade in your hand under the blast of the Saxon
00:56:06warhorn
00:56:07while a whole host of Saxon berserkers flew toward you over the battleground?
00:56:16I will be well supplied after I march across every kingdom deserted by kings
00:56:23anxious to fight alongside your battle chief Uther
00:56:26and his fool brother in their fool war.
00:56:32That is where you are, Rome.
00:56:36There is to be no war.
00:56:42Uther himself has determined not to engage the Saxon until you return what you have plundered
00:56:47and pledged fealty to Aurelius.
00:56:57If Aurelius does not engage the Saxon, he will be high king of nothing.
00:57:06Already this day Uther rides against you.
00:57:09He is the leader of this attack.
00:57:12There 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 to avenge the death of his father.
00:57:45One can only imagine what 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.
00:58:15If 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,
00:58:47attempting 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 have a foothold in this land.
00:59:10Father,
00:59:11the Britons that survived the raid have been brought to the palace.
00:59:14I'm needed.
00:59:16I'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.
00:59:39I know.
00:59:41In truth, I'm not ready for what is ahead.
00:59:44The battle against Vortig was...
00:59:46short?
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.
01:00:09Yes.
01:00:16She has a way of doing that.
01:00:18She 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 there 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.
01:00:55A man of his word is King Taldrigg.
01:01:02Two more Western kings have pledged their field due to Aurelius.
01:01:06The war bands 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 Gothay.
01:01:17We must ride alone.
01:01:20I have not proven myself to 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.
01:01:32For your 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 impertinence.
01:02:13It is not safe for you, Anguston, at all.
01:02:16There must be another way.
01:02:24There is no other way.
01:03:14There must be another way.
01:03:44I will set off her once for the Saxon's camp.
01:03:47That is what you wish.
01:03:50It is, Mother.
01:03:55Wait here.
01:04:20A gift for Angus.
01:04:41Safe travels, my son.
01:04:55It is, Mother.
01:05:01It is, Mother.
01:05:10It is, Mother.
01:05:12It is, Mother.
01:05:21It is, Mother.
01:05:28It is, Mother.
01:05:44It is, Mother.
01:06:00It is, Mother.
01:06:16It is, Mother.
01:06:21It is, Mother.
01:06:22It is, Mother.
01:06:22It is, Mother.
01:06:22It is, Mother.
01:06:23It is, Mother.
01:06:23It is, Mother.
01:06:44Our enemy grows stronger by the hour.
01:06:49Every day, more ships cross the sea.
01:06:53We are outmatched five to one.
01:06:57There is to be a new High King.
01:06:59They are the ones who would oppose the Saxons now.
01:07:03How many men are left for them to call upon?
01:07:05Those boys are on their own.
01:07:07I will not send the sons of my lords to die behind two 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.
01:07:37There is a number one.
01:07:37There are many places where the coast and the coast may come from.
01:07:37There are many places where you have two places in the world.
01:07:38I've seen the land and the land and the land.
