00:00:41 By 300 AD, the Roman Empire
00:00:49 But they wanted more.
00:00:52 More Land.
00:00:53 More peopLes
00:00:58 But no peopLe so important
00:01:04 Thousands died on that fieLd.
00:01:08 And when the smoke cLeared on the fourth
00:01:13 were members of the decimated
00:01:18 The Romans, impressed by their bravery
00:01:23 452 AD
00:01:25 In exchange, these warriors were
00:01:32 Better they had died that day.
00:01:42 (neighing)
00:01:50 Father.
00:01:52 They are here.
00:01:57 For the second part of the bargain they
00:02:01 The day has come.
00:02:02 ..but aLso their sons,
00:02:05 to serve the empire as knights.
00:02:11 I was such a son.
00:02:25 There is a legend that
00:02:29 He has seen what awaits you,
00:02:33 Lancelot! Lancelot!
00:02:38 Lancelot.
00:02:49 Don't be afraid. l will return.
00:03:08 - How long shall we be gone?
00:03:11 not including the months it'll take
00:03:17 Lancelot!
00:03:19 (aLL shout out ''Rus!'')
00:03:42 (LanceLot) Our post was Britain -
00:03:47 for the Land was divided by a 7 3-miLe waLL
00:03:52 to protect the empire from
00:03:56 So, as our forefathers had done,
00:03:59 we made our way and reported
00:04:03 ancestraLLy named for the first Artorius,
00:04:07 or Arthur.
00:04:09 1 5 YEARS LATER
00:04:26 Ah, as promised, the bishop's carriage.
00:04:30 - Our freedom, Bors.
00:04:35 And your passage to Rome, Arthur.
00:05:07 (horse whinnies)
00:05:20 Argh!
00:05:21 (war cries)
00:05:24 Woads!
00:05:32 ( uproar, swords cLinking)
00:05:56 Yaa-rgh!
00:06:02 Yah!
00:06:17 Argh!
00:06:40 Argh!
00:07:28 (triumphant cry)
00:07:31 Rus! Aagh!
00:07:40 Rus!
00:07:44 Rus.
00:07:52 Gratia pLena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta
00:07:58 Benedicta tu in muLieribus.
00:08:01 Benedicta tu in muLieribus...
00:08:03 Save your prayers, boy.
00:08:26 Why did Merlin send you south of the wall?
00:08:31 Spill my blood with Excalibur and...
00:08:34 make this ground holy.
00:08:36 Pick it up.
00:08:43 Pick it up.
00:09:39 - Bors.
00:09:43 That's not the bishop.
00:09:48 God help us.
00:09:50 - What are they?
00:09:54 You're not a Christian, are you?
00:09:58 Does this really work?
00:10:01 (mutters gibberish)
00:10:09 Nothing.
00:10:11 Maybe l'm not doin' it right.
00:10:14 (man chuckLing) Arthur!
00:10:17 Arthur Castus. Your father's image.
00:10:20 l haven't seen you since childhood.
00:10:23 Bishop Germanius. Welcome to Britain.
00:10:26 l see your military skills
00:10:30 Your device worked.
00:10:32 Ancient tricks of an ancient dog.
00:10:39 And these are the great Sarmatian knights
00:10:49 l thought the Woads control
00:10:52 They do, but they
00:10:55 Rome's anticipated withdrawal from Britain
00:10:59 - (man) Woads?
00:11:03 Men who want their country back.
00:11:04 - Who leads them?
00:11:07 A dark magician, some say.
00:11:10 Tristan, ride ahead
00:11:13 Please do not worry, Bishop.
00:11:17 Oh.
00:11:18 l've no doubt, Commander.
00:11:21 No doubt.
00:11:34 Dozens don't worry me
00:11:38 Thousands?
00:11:53 Well, now that we're free men,
00:11:58 - You do that every night.
00:12:01 Too much of myself to handle...
00:12:05 Well, it's a problem.
00:12:07 No, really, it is. lt's a problem.
00:12:09 - lt's like a baby's arm holding an apple.
00:12:15 (Laughter)
00:12:45 l don't like him, that Roman.
00:12:47 lf he's here to discharge us,
00:12:51 - ls this your happy face?
00:12:55 Galahad, do you still
00:12:57 They won't scratch their arses
00:12:59 Why don't you just kill him,
00:13:03 l don't kill for pleasure, unlike some.
00:13:06 Well, you should try it someday.
00:13:11 - lt's a part of you. lt's in your blood.
00:13:15 As of tomorrow
00:13:18 Ohh.
00:13:20 l've often thought about what going home
00:13:25 lt's different for Galahad.
00:13:27 l've been in this life longer than the other.
00:13:32 So much for home.
00:13:35 You speak for yourself. lt's cold back there
00:13:39 Besides, l have, l think, a dozen children.
00:13:43 Eleven.
00:13:46 You listen. When the Romans leave here,
00:13:50 l'll be governor in my own village
00:13:54 and royal arse-kisser. Won't you, Dag?
00:13:57 First thing l will do when l get home is
00:14:01 A beautiful Sarmatian woman?
00:14:03 Why do you think we left in the first place?
00:14:06 (moos Like a cow)
00:14:11 What about you, Lancelot?
00:14:13 Well, if this woman of Gawain's
00:14:16 l expect to be spending
00:14:19 - His wife will welcome the company.
00:14:22 Wondering at your good fortune
00:14:27 ls that before or after l hit you with my axe?
00:14:32 (whistLes)
00:14:40 Where you been, now? Where you been?
00:14:43 And what will you do, Arthur,
00:14:46 Give thanks to God that l survived to see it.
00:14:49 You and your god! You disturb me.
00:14:51 l want peace, Lancelot. l've had enough.
00:14:55 - You should visit me.
00:14:57 lt's a magnificent place, Rome.
00:14:59 Ordered, civilised, advanced.
00:15:03 A breeding ground of arrogant fools.
00:15:04 The greatest minds in all the lands
00:15:08 to help make mankind free.
00:15:13 And the women?
00:15:26 (guard) Open the gate!
00:15:57 - Welcome back, Arthur.
00:15:59 Lancelot.
00:16:06 Bishop, please, my quarters
00:16:09 Oh, yes. l must rest.
00:16:13 (Bors chuckLes LewdLy)
00:16:16 - Where have you been?
00:16:18 - l've been waiting for you.
00:16:26 Where's my Gilly? Gilly.
00:16:27 - You been fighting?
00:16:29 - You been winning?
00:16:30 That's my boy.
00:16:32 (aLL cheer)
00:16:48 Pelagius.
00:16:51 Very kind of Arthur to give up his room.
00:16:54 But, of course, it is to be expected.
00:17:02 (knocking)
00:17:05 Sir, l'm here to escort you
00:17:15 When my master meets with your knights,
00:17:19 and he must be seated
00:17:22 Your master can plonk his holy arse
00:17:26 (Laughter)
00:17:29 His Eminence, Bishop Naius Germanius.
00:17:39 A round table?
00:17:43 Arthur says for men to be men
00:17:46 l was given to understand
00:17:48 There were. We have been
00:17:52 Oh, of course.
00:17:54 Arthur and his knights
00:17:59 to maintain the honour of Rome's empire
00:18:05 Rome is most indebted
00:18:09 To your final days
00:18:12 Day. Not days.
00:18:16 The Pope's taken
00:18:20 He inquires after each of you,
00:18:22 and is curious to know if your knights have
00:18:28 They retain the religion of their forefathers.
00:18:32 Of course, of course.
00:18:34 They are pagans. Hm?
00:18:38 For our part, the Church
00:18:42 but you, Arthur,
00:18:46 - l saw his image in your room.
00:18:50 His teachings on free will and equality
00:18:53 l look forward to our reunion in Rome.
00:18:55 Ah.
00:18:57 Rome awaits your arrival
00:19:01 You are a hero.
00:19:02 ln Rome, you will live out your days
00:19:08 Alas...
00:19:11 Alas, we are all but players
00:19:14 Barbarians from every corner
00:19:19 Because of this, Rome and the Holy Father
00:19:24 from indefensible outposts,
00:19:29 What will become of Britain
00:19:32 l suppose the Saxons will claim it soon.
00:19:35 - Saxons?
00:19:37 ln the north a massive
00:19:41 - The Saxons only claim what they kill.
00:19:45 So you would just
00:19:49 And l risked my life for nothing.
00:19:51 Hm.
00:19:53 Gentlemen,
00:19:54 your discharge papers with safe conduct
00:19:59 But first, l must have a word
00:20:07 - ln private.
00:20:12 (sLams tabLe)
00:20:15 Come. Let's leave Roman business
00:20:23 Let it go, Bors.
00:20:33 Rome has issued a final order
00:20:37 Final order?
00:20:39 You are to travel north
00:20:43 and return, in particular,
00:20:49 Alecto is the Pope's
00:20:55 lt is his destiny to become a bishop,
00:21:00 On this day you ask this of my men.
00:21:03 On this day.
00:21:12 They have risked their lives for 1 5 years
00:21:15 And now, on the day they are to be
00:21:20 which is far more dangerous
00:21:23 You tell me, Bishop,
00:21:25 that instead of freedom l offer death?
00:21:28 lf your men are truly the knights
00:21:33 lf it is God's will.
00:21:35 Your men want to go home,
00:21:37 and to get home they need to cross
00:21:42 Deserters would be hunted down like dogs.
00:21:47 Will you defy the Pope, Arthur?
00:21:49 Rome? God himself?
00:21:51 Everything l've done has been
00:21:53 Do not mistake a loyal soldier
00:21:56 Would you leave a defenceless
00:22:00 at the hands of the Saxons?
00:22:03 Fulfil this mission, and your men
00:22:08 Their papers will be waiting here
00:22:13 You have my word.
00:22:16 You think very hard upon that vow, Bishop,
00:22:22 Break it, and no Roman legion,
00:22:27 papal army,
00:22:30 nor God himself will protect you.
00:22:33 That is my word.
00:22:43 - (man) She gave me fleas.
00:22:51 Best of three.
00:22:54 (baby mewLing)
00:22:57 Who wants another drink?
00:22:59 - (LanceLot) Ahh.
00:23:01 When you gonna leave Bors
00:23:03 My lover is watching you.
00:23:15 Mmm...
00:23:17 You look nothing like him.
00:23:19 You're all Bors.
00:23:25 - Tristan...
00:23:28 l aim for the middle.
00:23:30 Oh, they want more!
00:23:32 - Here. Be a mother to your son.
00:23:37 Dagonet, where you been?
00:23:41 Here, please. Sing.
00:23:43 - No.
00:23:44 - No, l'm trying to work.
00:23:47 Vanora will sing.
00:23:50 - (Vanora) No, no.
00:23:53 - (man) Sing about home.
00:23:59 * Land of bear and land of eagle
00:24:03 * Land that gave us birth and blessing
00:24:08 * Land that called us ever homewards
00:24:12 * We will go home across the mountains
00:24:16 * We will go home
00:24:20 * We will go home across the mountains
00:24:24 * We will go home singing our song...
00:24:28 (singing fades)
00:24:45 * ..hear our singing, hear our longing
00:24:49 * We will go home across the mountains
00:24:54 * We will go home
00:24:58 (singing fades)
00:25:04 Arthur!
00:25:05 Arthur!
00:25:09 Arthur! You're not
00:25:13 Rus!
00:25:19 Knights...
00:25:21 brothers in arms...
00:25:24 your courage has been tested
00:25:26 Yes.
00:25:27 But l must ask you now for one further trial.
00:25:29 Drink.
00:25:31 We must leave on a final mission for Rome
00:25:40 Above the wall, far in the north,
00:25:44 They are trapped by Saxons.
00:25:46 Our orders are to secure their safety.
00:25:49 Let the Romans take care of their own.
00:25:51 Above the wall is Woad territory.
00:25:54 Our duty to Rome,
00:26:00 Our pact with Rome is done.
00:26:02 Every knight here
00:26:07 For you.
00:26:08 And instead of freedom
00:26:11 Our blood?
00:26:14 You think more of Roman blood
00:26:16 Bors! These are our orders.
00:26:18 We leave at first light, and when we return
00:26:22 A freedom we can embrace with honour.
00:26:23 l am a free man!
00:26:25 l will choose my own fate!
00:26:27 Yeah, yeah.
00:26:30 lf it's a death from a Saxon hand
00:26:33 Listen, if you're so eager to die,
00:26:36 - Enough. Enough!
00:26:38 The Romans have broken their word.
00:26:40 We have the word of Arthur.
00:26:44 l'll prepare.
00:26:47 Bors?
00:26:49 - You coming?
00:26:51 Can't let you go on your own!
00:26:55 l'm just saying what you're all thinking!
00:26:59 Vanora'll kill me.
00:27:03 And you, Gawain?
00:27:09 l'm with you.
00:27:13 Galahad as well.
00:27:49 O merciful God,
00:27:55 Not for myself, but for my knights,
00:27:58 for this is truly their hour of need.
00:28:01 Deliver them from the trials ahead,
00:28:02 and l will repay you a thousandfold
00:28:07 And if, in your wisdom,
00:28:09 you should determine that that sacrifice
00:28:12 so they may once again taste the freedom
00:28:16 l will gladly make that covenant.
00:28:18 My death will have a purpose.
00:28:22 Why do you always talk to God
00:28:25 Oh, pray to whomever you pray
00:28:29 My faith is what protects me, Lancelot.
00:28:33 l don't like anything
00:28:36 No man fears to kneel
00:28:38 Without faith, without belief in something,
00:28:41 To try and get past the Woads
00:28:43 - Them we've fought before.
00:28:49 How many Saxons? Hm?
00:28:52 How many?!
00:28:56 Tell me. Do you believe in this mission?
00:28:59 These people need our help.
00:29:01 - lt is our duty to bring them out.
00:29:04 and l don't give a damn about
00:29:08 lf you desire to spend eternity in this place,
00:29:11 but suicide cannot be chosen for another!
00:29:13 - And yet you choose death for this family!
00:29:16 And freedom for myself and the men!
00:29:26 How many times in battle have we
00:29:29 Outnumbered, outflanked,
00:29:32 With you at my side, we can do so again.
00:29:37 Lancelot, we are knights.
00:29:39 What other purpose do we serve
00:29:42 Arthur, you fight for a world
00:29:46 Never.
00:29:47 There will always be a battlefield.
00:29:53 l will die in battle.
00:29:55 Of that l'm certain.
00:29:58 And hopefully a battle of my choosing.
00:30:03 But if it be this one,
00:30:06 grant me a favour.
00:30:08 Don't bury me in our sad little cemetery.
00:30:11 Burn me.
00:30:12 Burn me and cast my ashes
00:30:39 (woman screaming)
00:31:00 Don't touch their women.
00:31:06 We don't mix with these people.
00:31:12 What kind of offspring
00:31:15 Weak people.
00:31:17 Half people.
00:31:20 l will not have our Saxon blood
00:31:24 According to our laws, no man
00:31:28 He speaks the truth, Father.
00:31:47 My lord! O, my lord!
00:31:50 God's thanks, my lord.
00:31:53 Thank you.
00:31:54 Thank you.
00:31:59 Kill her.
00:32:02 (waiLs)
00:32:04 No! No!
00:32:06 (softLy) Are you challenging me?
00:32:10 lf you want to challenge me,
00:32:14 As long as my heart beats,
00:32:19 Or l'll cut it out.
00:32:55 (neighing)
00:34:08 We are three days' march from
00:34:12 We won't camp.
00:34:14 The wall - what troops are stationed there?
00:34:17 Light Roman infantry
00:34:20 and possibly Sarmatian knights.
00:34:22 Arthur Castus is their leader.
00:34:24 Arthur? Who is this Arthur?
00:34:26 lt is said he has never been defeated
00:34:33 Why should l trust you?
00:34:36 You're a traitor to your own people.
00:34:38 Tell my father of the Roman estate.
00:34:41 Speak up!
00:34:44 A very high-ranking family live there.
00:34:47 They are of great importance to Rome.
00:34:50 Father, their ransom
00:35:04 l'll attack from the north
00:35:07 You bring your men down here.
00:35:11 Burn every village, kill everybody.
00:35:15 Never leave behind you a man, woman
00:35:36 Saxon.
00:35:38 How many?
00:35:39 Thousands.
00:35:48 (horse whinnying)
00:35:56 (Tristan) Woads. They're tracking us.
00:36:00 (Arthur) Where?
00:36:02 Everywhere.
00:36:31 Yaah!
00:36:44 Get back!
00:36:45 Get back!
00:37:01 This way!
00:37:11 (war cries)
00:37:15 Yaah!
00:37:44 What are you waiting for?
00:38:05 Inish.
00:38:07 Devil ghosts.
00:38:09 - Why would they not attack?
00:38:17 We should have killed them, Merlin.
00:38:21 There might be a purpose
00:38:25 No!
00:38:28 He is our enemy!
00:38:32 So is the Saxon!
00:38:34 (cLap of thunder)
00:38:37 ( Gawain groaning)
00:38:40 Oh, l can't wait to leave this island.
00:38:43 lf it's not raining, it's snowing.
00:38:47 And that's the summer!
00:38:48 The rain is good.
00:38:52 Doesn't help the smell.
00:38:54 Hey, Bors, do you intend to take Vanora
00:38:59 Oh, l'm trying to avoid that decision...
00:39:02 by getting killed.
00:39:08 Dagonet, she wants to get married
00:39:11 Women!
00:39:13 The children already have names,
00:39:15 Just Gilly.
00:39:17 lt was too much trouble,
00:39:21 That's interesting.
00:39:26 You know, l never thought
00:39:30 Now l've got the chance,
00:39:34 - You'd miss 'em too much.
00:39:38 l like the little bastards.
00:39:45 Especially number three.
00:39:48 - He's a good fighter.
00:39:54 l'm going for a piss.
00:39:55 (Laughter)
00:40:21 - (guard) Who are you?
00:40:23 Commander of the Sarmatian Knights,
00:40:27 Open the gate.
00:40:36 (man) lt is a wonder you have come.
00:40:39 Good Jesus.
00:40:44 You have fought the Woads.
00:40:47 Our orders are to evacuate you
00:40:51 But that... that is impossible.
00:40:53 - Which is Alecto?
00:40:57 Alecto is my son.
00:41:00 And everything we have is here in the land
00:41:04 - Well, you're about to give it to the Saxons.
00:41:10 - Then Rome will send an army.
00:41:13 - We leave as soon as you're packed.
00:41:21 Go back to work! All of you!
00:41:23 - You heard! Go!
00:41:26 - Go!
00:41:30 Go back!
00:41:34 lf l fail to bring you and your son back,
00:41:38 So you're coming with me
00:41:39 if l have to tie you to my horse and drag
00:41:44 My lord.
00:41:46 Lady, my knights are hungry.
00:41:51 Go.
00:41:57 Come!
00:42:03 Come. Let us go, hm?
00:42:20 (man) Sir, you're famous.
00:42:23 l'm Ganis. l'm a good fighter and l'm smart.
00:42:27 Are you from Rome?
00:42:29 From hell.
00:42:33 - Sir.
00:42:35 He's our village elder.
00:42:38 What is this punishment for?
00:42:41 - Answer me!
00:42:45 Most of the food we grow
00:42:47 He asked that we keep
00:42:50 My arse has been snappin' at the grass
00:42:52 You're from Rome. ls it true
00:42:56 and that it's a sin to defy him?
00:43:02 l tell you now.
00:43:04 Marius is not of God.
00:43:06 And you, all of you,
00:43:20 Help this man.
00:43:22 Help him!
00:43:24 Now hear me. A vast and terrible army
00:43:28 They will show no mercy, spare no one.
00:43:31 Those of you who are able
00:43:33 and begin to move south
00:43:35 Those unable shall come with us.
00:43:38 You, serve me now.
00:43:41 ( Ganis) Right, you heard him.
00:43:42 You go grab enough food and water
00:43:45 Let's get a hurry on, else we're all dead!
00:43:53 Come on, hurry.
00:43:58 They have flanked us to the east.
00:44:00 They're coming from the south,
00:44:03 They'll be here before nightfall.
00:44:04 - How many?
00:44:07 And the only way out is to the south?
00:44:09 East.
00:44:10 There is a trail heading east
00:44:14 lt means we have to cross behind Saxon
00:44:20 Arthur, who are all these people?
00:44:23 They're coming with us.
00:44:27 Then we'll never make it.
00:44:30 (distant drums beating)
00:44:40 - Come on, get back to work!
00:44:53 Move.
00:44:55 Move.
00:44:58 Move!
00:45:01 - What is this?
00:45:04 No one goes in there.
00:45:08 (Marius) What are you doing?
00:45:15 Arthur, we have no time.
00:45:18 Do you not hear the drums?
00:45:23 Dagonet.
00:45:30 Agh!
00:45:32 Agh!
00:45:43 - Key.
00:45:46 From the inside.
00:46:02 - You, you... go.
00:46:05 Move!
00:46:12 - Gawain.
00:46:17 Exaudi orationem meam.
00:46:20 In nomine Dei Patris omnipotentis
00:46:28 Who are these defilers
00:46:31 Out of the way.
00:46:51 The work of your god.
00:46:54 ls this how he answers your prayers?
00:46:57 See if there's any still alive.
00:47:06 How dare you set foot in this holy place?
00:47:13 - There was a man of God.
00:47:17 - (Arthur) This one's dead.
00:47:20 And you.
00:47:30 Arthur!
00:47:35 You must not fear me.
00:47:59 Water! Give me some water!
00:48:31 His arm is broken.
00:48:34 And his family?
00:48:38 She's a Woad.
00:48:42 l'm a Roman officer.
00:48:45 You're safe now.
00:48:48 - You're safe.
00:48:52 What is this madness?
00:48:54 - They're all pagans here!
00:48:56 They refuse to do the task
00:48:59 They must die as an example!
00:49:01 You mean they refused to be your serfs!
00:49:04 You are a Roman.
00:49:06 You understand.
00:49:08 And you are a Christian.
00:49:10 You! You kept her alive!
00:49:16 - (soLdier) My lord!
00:49:20 When we get to the wall
00:49:24 Perhaps l should kill you now
00:49:28 l was willing to die with them.
00:49:31 Yes, to lead them to their rightful place.
00:49:34 lt is God's wish
00:49:37 Only then can their souls be saved.
00:49:40 Then l shall grant his wish.
00:49:45 - Wall them back up.
00:49:48 l said wall them up!
00:49:50 Don't you see it is the will of God
00:49:54 - Unhand me, defil... They're sinners!
00:50:34 We're moving too slow.
00:50:36 The girl's not gonna make it,
00:50:39 The family we can protect, but we're
00:50:42 We're not leaving them.
00:50:45 lf the Saxons find us, we will have to fight.
00:50:47 Then save your anger for them.
00:50:51 ls this Rome's quest or Arthur's?
00:51:14 (weak moans)
00:51:19 - Arthur.
00:51:22 He burns.
00:51:25 Brave boy.
00:52:03 Some of your fingers are out of place.
00:52:06 l have to push them back.
00:52:10 lf l don't do this, there's a chance
00:52:26 - (cracking)
00:52:32 (cracking)
00:52:46 They tortured me.
00:52:49 With machines.
00:52:57 To make me tell them things that...
00:53:05 And then...
00:53:10 l heard your voice in the dark.
00:53:16 l am Guinevere.
00:53:20 You are Arthur...
00:53:23 of the Knights from the Great Wall.
00:53:27 l am.
00:53:29 The famous Briton
00:53:57 l found tracks coming from the south,
00:54:01 Horsemen travelling light and fast.
00:54:04 Could be Roman cavalry.
00:54:06 Could be knights.
00:54:09 They know we're after them.
00:54:12 They'll head east now,
00:54:15 God's holy work has been defiled.
00:54:20 No, please, l... Agh!
00:54:24 He says they walled him up in a building
00:54:28 Someone who goes
00:54:32 lt's him.
00:54:33 lt's Arthur.
00:54:36 Take your men east. Hunt them down.
00:54:39 l'll take the main army to the wall.
00:54:43 - (man) And the monks?
00:54:47 l am a servant of God!
00:54:49 Please, l... l am a servant of God!
00:54:54 (monk) Unhand me, you defiler!
00:54:58 (sighs)
00:55:00 Burn it all.
00:55:31 Yah!
00:55:44 My father told me great tales of you.
00:55:47 Really?
00:55:49 And what did you hear?
00:55:52 Fairy tales.
00:55:55 The kind you hear about people so brave,
00:56:00 Arthur and his knights.
00:56:03 A leader both Briton and Roman.
00:56:07 And yet you chose your allegiance
00:56:11 To those who take
00:56:14 That same Rome that took your men
00:56:17 Listen, lady, do not pretend
00:56:21 How many Britons have you killed?
00:56:23 As many as tried to kill me. lt's the natural
00:56:26 Animals live! lt's a natural state of any man
00:56:35 l belong to this land.
00:56:38 Where do you belong, Arthur?
00:56:46 How's your hand?
00:56:50 l'll live, l promise you.
00:56:57 ls there nothing about my land
00:57:02 Your own father married a Briton.
00:57:04 Even he must have found something
00:57:12 (gaLLops away)
00:57:22 We'll sleep here.
00:57:26 - Tristan.
00:58:03 lt is here, given to us by the Pope.
00:58:45 (rustLing)
00:59:27 (footsteps)
00:59:33 You betrayed me.
00:59:35 He means you no harm.
00:59:37 Peace between us this night,
00:59:45 So Rome is leaving. The Saxon is come.
00:59:48 The world we have known
00:59:53 Now we must make a new world.
00:59:54 Your world, Merlin, not mine.
00:59:57 To find peace?
01:00:00 My knights trust me
01:00:02 Rome was my enemy, not Arthur.
01:00:06 We have no fight between us now.
01:00:08 You tell that to the knights
01:00:10 whose bones are buried in this earth.
01:00:12 We have all lost brothers.
01:00:13 You know nothing of the loss l speak!
01:00:16 Shall l help you remember?
01:00:18 An attack on a village.
01:00:26 Mother!
01:00:28 Artorius!
01:00:36 Mother!
01:00:38 Mother!
01:00:44 I ran to the buriaL mound
01:00:52 To kill you.
01:00:56 Father, please let loose your sword.
01:01:17 l feel the heat of that fire
01:01:21 l did not wish her dead.
01:01:22 She was of our blood, as are you.
01:01:26 lf you were so determined to leave us
01:01:38 My men are strong,
01:01:42 They believe you can do anything.
01:01:45 To defeat the Saxon
01:01:48 Why do you think
01:01:54 That sword you carry is made of iron
01:02:01 lt was love of your mother
01:02:05 Love, Arthur.
01:02:25 Seize him!
01:02:30 No!
01:02:35 No...
01:02:47 l have the boy!
01:02:54 - Kill him!
01:02:57 Kill him now!
01:03:08 Down! Hah!
01:03:13 (LanceLot) Your hands seem to be better.
01:03:21 Artorius!
01:03:25 Do we have a problem?
01:03:27 Huh?
01:03:29 You have a choice.
01:03:31 You help or you die.
01:03:38 Put down your weapons.
01:03:41 - Do it now!
01:03:47 (neighing)
01:03:50 - How many did you kill?
01:03:52 Not a bad start to the day! (Laughs)
00:00:03 You ride ahead.
00:00:16 l'm sorry for your loss.
00:00:18 My father lost his way.
00:00:21 He used to say the Church
00:00:26 lt didn't help those he made suffer.
00:00:28 The path he chose was beyond the reach
00:00:31 But not of Rome. What my father believed,
00:00:35 What, that some men are born
00:00:38 lt is so! He told me so.
00:00:41 Pelagius, a man as close to me as any,
00:00:43 teaching that all men are free, equal.
00:00:46 And that each of us has the right
00:00:50 Teach? How?
00:00:51 They killed Pelagius a year past.
00:00:55 Germanius and the others
00:00:58 They had him excommunicated and killed.
00:01:01 The Rome you talk of doesn't exist,
00:01:04 except in your dreams.
00:01:32 - ls there any other way?
00:01:36 Get them all out of the carriages.
00:02:03 (creaking)
00:02:15 (cracking)
00:02:25 (distant drums beating)
00:02:32 (creaking)
00:02:50 - Knights...
00:02:54 And these Saxons are so close behind
00:03:00 Never liked
00:03:04 - Be a pleasure to put an end to this racket.
00:03:09 Here. Now.
00:03:16 Jols!
00:03:17 You two, take the horses.
00:03:25 (Arthur) Ganis, l need you
00:03:27 The main Saxon army is inland,
00:03:29 so if you track the coastline till you're
00:03:33 - But you're seven against 200?
00:03:36 You could use another bow.
00:03:40 - l'd rather stay and fight.
00:03:43 This man is now your captain.
00:03:46 - Yes, sir.
00:03:49 Right. Come on, then! Move on!
00:03:51 l am able. l can fight.
00:03:53 No. You must bear witness
00:03:57 There's one thing you must do,
00:04:00 (ice cracking/horses neighing)
00:04:26 (beating drum)
00:04:39 Hold until l give the command.
00:04:42 You look frightened.
00:04:45 There's a large number
00:04:49 Don't worry, l won't let them rape you.
00:04:52 (man shouts command in Saxon)
00:04:55 Archer!
00:05:08 - We're out of range.
00:05:11 l believe they're waiting for an invitation.
00:05:14 They're far out of range.
00:05:32 (shouts in Saxon)
00:05:55 Aim for the wings of the ranks.
00:06:24 - Hold the ranks!
00:06:31 - Hold the ranks!
00:06:36 Hold the ranks!
00:06:43 lt's not gonna break. Back.
00:06:46 Fall back!
00:06:47 Prepare for combat.
00:06:56 Aagh!
00:06:57 - Dag!
00:07:00 - Archers move! Move!
00:07:04 Yaagh!
00:07:10 Move! Move! Kill him!
00:07:12 Yaagh!
00:07:17 Yaagh!
00:07:19 The ice is breaking!
00:07:24 Yaagh!
00:07:25 Kill him!
00:07:27 Dag!
00:07:34 Yaagh!
00:07:45 (men screaming)
00:07:54 ( Cynric) Back! Back!
00:08:04 Dag!
00:08:15 Pull back! Arthur!
00:08:22 Argh!
00:08:25 Kill him!
00:08:37 Help us!
00:08:40 Aagh!
00:08:47 Argh!
00:08:56 Stay with me.
00:08:58 Dagonet! Stay with me!
00:09:38 Ah, God!
00:09:41 Christ be praised.
00:09:45 Alecto, let me see you.
00:09:48 - (Horton) Kindly get out of my way!
00:09:50 Young Alecto, let me see you.
00:09:53 You are here.
00:09:55 - Lucan!
00:10:22 ( Germanius chuckLes nervousLy)
00:10:26 Our great knights.
00:10:28 You are free now!
00:10:30 Give me the papers. Come, come.
00:10:33 Your papers of safe conduct
00:10:41 Take it, Arthur.
00:10:46 Bishop Germanius.
00:10:48 Friend of my father.
00:11:01 You are free now.
00:11:04 You can go.
00:11:13 Bors.
00:11:17 Bors!
00:11:19 For Dagonet.
00:11:25 This doesn't make him a free man.
00:11:27 He's already a free man.
00:11:30 He's dead!
00:12:02 A grave with no sword.
00:12:05 lt was my father's wish
00:12:11 he would be buried with his knights.
00:12:14 He died in battle?
00:12:16 lt's a family tradition.
00:12:22 l can see why you believe
00:12:27 Except what you and your knights
00:12:31 You have your deeds.
00:12:32 Deeds in themselves are meaningless
00:12:37 We have waged a war
00:12:40 ls that the deed l am to be judged by?
00:12:42 You stayed and fought
00:12:45 You bloodied evil men
00:12:48 You did all that for no reason?
00:12:55 These are your people.
00:13:19 - (knocking)
00:13:21 - (man) The Saxons are here.
00:14:04 Knights, my journey with you
00:14:13 May God go with you.
00:14:25 Arthur, this is not Rome's fight.
00:14:29 lt is not your fight.
00:14:31 (man shouting orders)
00:14:33 (soLdier) Stand fast!
00:14:36 All these long years we've been together,
00:14:38 the trials we've faced,
00:14:42 What was it all for,
00:14:47 And now when we are so close,
00:14:51 Look at me!
00:14:53 - Does it all count for nothing?
00:14:56 You who know me best of all?
00:15:02 Then do not do this.
00:15:06 Arthur, l beg you!
00:15:09 You be my friend now
00:15:11 Seize the freedom you have earned
00:15:13 l cannot follow you, Lancelot.
00:15:17 l now know that all the blood l have shed,
00:15:20 have led me to this moment.
00:16:16 (door bangs)
00:16:35 What tomorrow brings...
00:16:39 we cannot know.
00:18:33 (shouting)
00:19:15 Artorius!
00:19:19 Rus!
00:19:31 Rus!
00:20:27 The Roman Auxiliary has left the wall.
00:20:30 - And the horsemen?
00:20:33 They're running south...
00:20:37 - So there will be no resistance.
00:20:44 We're going to slaughter your people.
00:20:47 l think you should watch.
00:20:50 Your tree might be a good place.
00:20:53 Up on the hill!
00:21:01 A single knight.
00:21:06 Didn't you just say they were gone?
00:21:12 (choking) One man. A tiny fly
00:21:18 Who is he?
00:21:21 Arthur.
00:21:24 Arthur.
00:21:28 Arthur.
00:22:16 (horse whinnying)
00:22:41 (sighs) Arthur.
00:22:44 Hm.
00:22:46 Wherever l go on this wretched island
00:22:51 Always half-whispered, as if you were a...
00:22:56 god.
00:23:01 All l see is flesh, blood.
00:23:08 No more god than
00:23:11 Speak your terms, Saxon.
00:23:14 The Romans have left you.
00:23:17 Who are you fighting for?
00:23:20 l fight for a cause
00:23:25 Ah.
00:23:30 You come to beg a truce.
00:23:36 l came to see your face, so that l alone
00:23:40 And it would be good for you
00:23:43 for the next time you see it, it will be
00:23:50 Ah.
00:23:59 Ah, finally.
00:24:00 A man worth killing.
00:24:05 Ah!
00:24:13 Prepare the men for battle.
00:24:17 (gives command in Saxon)
00:24:35 (beating drum)
00:24:39 - (neighs)
00:24:42 - Whoa.
00:24:53 Shh.
00:24:55 Shh.
00:25:17 Hey.
00:25:19 You're free.
00:26:45 He's got a plan, this Roman.
00:26:55 Send what's left of your infantry.
00:27:00 - (whispers) Do you want to kill my men?
00:27:11 (gives command in Saxon)
00:27:13 No. You stay here with me.
00:27:15 (shouts in Saxon)
00:27:23 Knights, the gift of freedom
00:27:31 But the home we seek
00:27:35 lt's in us and in our actions on this day.
00:27:39 (shouting)
00:27:42 lf this be our destiny, then so be it.
00:27:45 But let history remember
00:27:55 (knights) Rus!
00:28:03 Hah!
00:28:22 Argh!
00:28:31 (war cries)
00:28:59 (man) There! On the hill!
00:29:07 - (man shouts command in Saxon)
00:29:34 (soLdiers chanting to the marching rhythm)
00:30:08 (distant screaming)
00:30:20 (distant war cry)
00:30:22 Rus! Aargh!
00:30:44 (yeLLs)
00:31:33 (panting)
00:31:44 - (shouts command in Saxon)
00:31:54 (soLdiers chanting)
00:33:10 Raewald.
00:33:12 The left flank.
00:33:16 - You go with him.
00:33:40 (shouts command in Saxon)
00:34:14 (soLdiers chanting)
00:34:47 Shields up!
00:34:54 Argh!
00:35:02 (screaming)
00:35:05 (war cry)
00:35:34 (shouting)
00:35:39 (war cry)
00:35:59 (agonised screams)
00:36:15 Pull!
00:37:33 Aagh!
