0:13:05 > 0:13:09- It's a part of you. It's in your blood.- No, no, no.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14(LAUGHS) No. As of tomorrow, this was all just a bad memory.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19I've often thought about what going home would mean after all this.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22What will I do? It's different for Galahad.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I've been in this life longer than the other.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29So much for home. It's not so clear in my memory.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Speak for yourself. It's cold back there.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Everyone I know is dead and buried.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Besides, I have, I think, a dozen children.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45Listen, when the Romans leave here, we'll have the run of this place.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I'll be governor in my own village. Dagonet will be my personal guard.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52And royal arse-kisser. Won't you, Dag?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56First thing I'll do when I get home is find a beautiful Sarmatian woman.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00A beautiful Sarmatian woman? Why do you think we left?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04(MOOS)
0:14:05 > 0:14:09What about you, Lancelot? What are your plans for home?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13If Gawain's woman is as beautiful as he says, I expect to spend much time
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- at Gawain's house! His wife will welcome the company.- What will I do?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Wonder at your good fortune that all your children look like me.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Is that before or after I hit you with my axe?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Where've you been, huh? Where've you been?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42What will you do, Arthur, when you return to your beloved Rome?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Give thanks to God that I survived to see it.- You and your God!
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- You disturb me. - I want peace. I've had enough.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- You should visit me. - Pah!
0:14:52 > 0:14:56It's a magnificent place, Rome. Ordered.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Civilised. Advanced.- The breeding ground of arrogant fools.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03The greatest minds in all lands have come together in one sacred place
0:15:03 > 0:15:07to help make mankind free.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11And the women? (CHUCKLES)
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Welcome back, Arthur. - Jols.- Lancelot.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Bishop, please, my quarters have been made available to you.- Oh, yes.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I must rest.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Where have you been? I've been waiting for you!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Oh, such passion.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Where's my Gilly? Gilly!
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Have you been fighting?- Yes. - Winning?- Yes.- That's my boy.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Come on, all my other bastards. - (CHILDREN CHEER)
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Pelagius.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Very kind of Arthur to give up his room.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53But of course, it is to be expected.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03(KNOCKS ON DOOR) Sir, I'm here to escort you to the fortress hall.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15When my master meets with your knights, he must be seated last
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and he must be seated at the head of the table.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Your master can plonk his holy arse wherever he chooses.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28His eminence, Bishop Germanius.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38A round table? What sort of evil is this?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Arthur says for men to be men they must first all be equal.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- I understood there'd be more of you. - There were.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48We have been fighting here for 15 years, Bishop.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Of course.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Arthur and his knights
0:17:52 > 0:17:55have served with courage
0:17:55 > 0:17:59to maintain the honour of Rome's Empire on this last outpost
0:17:59 > 0:18:02of our glory. Rome is most indebted.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07To you, noble knights. To your final days as servants to the Empire.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Day, not days.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15The pope's taken a personal interest in you.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17He enquires after each of you,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20and is curious to know if your knights
0:18:20 > 0:18:24have converted to the word of our saviour, or -
0:18:24 > 0:18:28They retain their forefathers' religion. I've never questioned that.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Of course. Of course. They are pagans.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Hmm?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37For our part, the church has deemed such beliefs innocent,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41but you, Arthur, your path to God is through Pelagius?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- I saw his image in your room. - He took my father's place for me.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48His teachings on free will and equality have been a great influence.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I look forward to our reunion in Rome.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Rome awaits your arrival with great anticipation.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01You are a hero. In Rome, you will live out your days in honour.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And wealth. Alas...
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Alas, we are all but players in an ever-changing world.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Barbarians from every corner are almost at Rome's door.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Because of this, Rome, and the Holy Father,
0:19:18 > 0:19:22have decided to remove ourselves from indefensible outposts,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24such as Britain.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27What will become of Britain is not our concern any more.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- I suppose the Saxons will claim it soon.- Saxons?- Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36In the north, a massive Saxon incursion has begun.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- The Saxons only claim what they kill.- And only kill everything.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44So, you just leave the land to the Woads,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and I risked my life for nothing?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Gentlemen...
0:19:49 > 0:19:52..your discharge papers
0:19:52 > 0:19:55with safe conduct throughout the Roman Empire.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58But first I must have a word with your commander.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- In private. - We have no secrets.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Come. Let's leave Roman business to Romans.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Let it go, Bors.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33Rome has issued a final order for you and your men.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Final order?- You are to travel north to rescue the family
0:20:37 > 0:20:40of Marius Honorius,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44and return in particular with Marius's son, Alecto.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50Alecto is the pope's favourite godchild and pupil.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53It is his destiny to become a bishop.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Perhaps even pope one day. - On this day?
0:20:56 > 0:21:01You ask this of my men on this day?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11They have risked their lives for 15 years for a cause not of their own,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and now, on the day they are to be liberated,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18you send them on a mission more dangerous than any other.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21You tell me, Bishop. How do I go to my men and tell them
0:21:21 > 0:21:24that instead of freedom, I offer death?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28If your men are truly the knights of legend, perhaps some will survive.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32If it is God's will. Your men want to go home,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36and to get home, they need to cross the entire breadth
0:21:36 > 0:21:42of the Roman Empire. Deserters would be hunted down like dogs.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Will you defy the pope, Arthur? Rome? God himself?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Everything I've done has been for the church and Rome.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Do not mistake a loyal soldier for a fool.- Would you leave a defenceless
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Roman boy, destined to lead our church, at the hands of the Saxons?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Fulfil this mission, and your men will receive their discharge.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Their papers will be waiting here the moment they return.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10You have my word.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Think very hard upon that vow, Bishop, for I will hold you to it.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Break it, and no Roman legion...
0:22:21 > 0:22:24..papal army...
0:22:25 > 0:22:28..nor God himself will protect you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31That is my word.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Best of three.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Who wants another drink?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59When are you gonna leave Bors and come home with me?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02My lover is watching you!
0:23:05 > 0:23:08(CRIES)
0:23:11 > 0:23:14You look nothing like him.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16You're all Bors.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Tristan. - How do you do that?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I aim for the middle.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28(SIGHS) They want more.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Here. Your mother's here, son.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36Dagonet, where have you been? We've got plans to make.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Here, please. Sing.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- No! I'm trying to work. - Come on. Come sing. Shut up!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Vanora will sing.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48(ROWDY CHATTER)
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Sing about home.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Arthur!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You're not completely Roman yet, right?

0:25:16 > 0:25:18..brothers in arms...
0:25:18 > 0:25:22..your courage has been tested beyond all limits,
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- but I must ask you now for one further trial.- Drink.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29We must leave on a final mission for Rome
0:25:29 > 0:25:33before our freedom can be granted.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36(ALL CHUCKLE)
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Above the wall, far in the north, is a Roman family in need of rescue.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42They are trapped by Saxons.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Our orders are to secure their safety.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Let the Romans take care of their own.- Above the wall...
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- ..is Woad territory. - Our duty to Rome,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54if it was ever a duty, is done.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Our pact with Rome is done.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Every knight here has laid his life on the line for you.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03For you.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07And instead of freedom, you want more blood?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Our blood?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You think more of Roman blood than you do of ours?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Bors, these are our orders. We leave at first light.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19When we return, your freedom will be waiting for you. A freedom we can...
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I'm a free man! I will choose my own fate!
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Yeah, yeah. We are all going to die some day.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29If death by a Saxon hand scares you, stay home.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32If you're so eager to die, die now!
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- I've got something to live for! - The Romans have broken their word.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40We have the word of Arthur. That is good enough.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I'll prepare.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Bors, are you coming?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Course I'm coming! Can't let you go on your own! You'd all get killed!
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I'm just saying what you're all thinking!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Vanora will kill me.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00And you, Gawain?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I'm with you.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Galahad as well.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48O merciful God, I have such need of your mercy now.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Not for myself, but for my knights,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56for this is truly their hour of need.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Deliver them from the trials ahead and I will repay you a thousandfold
0:28:00 > 0:28:04with any sacrifice you ask of me. And if, in your wisdom,
0:28:04 > 0:28:08you should determine that sacrifice must be my life for theirs,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12so that they may once again taste the freedom so long denied to them,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I will gladly make that covenant. My death will have a purpose.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- I ask no more than that.- Why do you always talk to God and not to me?
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Pray, to whomever you pray, that we don't cross the Saxons.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28My faith is what protects me. Why do you challenge this?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I don't like anything that puts a man on his knees.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34No man fears to kneel before the God he trusts.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Without faith, what are we?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- To try and get past the Woads is insanity.- Them we fought before.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Not north of the wall!
0:28:44 > 0:28:48How many Saxons, hmm? How many?
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Tell me, do you believe in this mission?
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- These people need our help. It is... - I don't care about your charge.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03And I don't give a damn about Romans, Britain or this island.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06If you desire to spend eternity here so be it,
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- but suicide cannot be chosen... - You choose death...
0:29:10 > 0:29:14No! I choose life! And freedom for myself and the men!
0:29:21 > 0:29:25How many times have we snatched victory from the jaws of defeat?
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Outnumbered, outflanked, yet still we triumph. With you at my side,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31we can do so again.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Lancelot, we are knights.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38What other purpose do we serve if not for such a cause?
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Arthur, you fight for a world that will never exist. Never.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45There will always be a battlefield.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53I will die in battle. Of that I'm certain.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56And hopefully a battle of my choosing.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01But if it be this one,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03grant me a favour.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Don't bury me in our sad little cemetery. Burn me.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Burn me and cast my ashes to a strong east wind.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50(SCREAMS)
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Don't touch their women.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03We don't mix with these people.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10What kind of offspring do you think that would yield?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Weak people. Half people.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19We'll not have our Saxon blood watered down by mixing it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24According to our laws, no man may deny me the spoils of our conquest.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26He speaks the truth, Father.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46My lord! O my lord!
0:31:46 > 0:31:49God thanks, my lord! Thank you! (SOBS)
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Thank you.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54(SOBS)
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Kill her.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59(SCREAMS)
0:31:59 > 0:32:01No! No!
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Are you challenging me?
0:32:05 > 0:32:09If you want to challenge me, you have to have a sword in your hand.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13As long as my heart beats, I rule and you hold your tongue...
0:32:14 > 0:32:17..or I'll cut it out.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08We are three days' march from the great wall, if we camp at night.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12We won't camp. The wall, what troops are stationed there?
0:34:12 > 0:34:17Light Roman infantry. And possibly Sarmatian knights.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Arthur Castus is their leader.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24- Who is this Arthur?- It is said he has never been defeated in battle.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27It is said he is a great warrior.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Why should I trust you?
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- You're a traitor to your own people. - Tell my father of the Roman estate.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Speak up!
0:34:38 > 0:34:42A very high-ranking family live there.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45They are of great importance to Rome.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Father, their ransom could pay for the entire campaign.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I'll attack from the north with the main army.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07You bring your men down here, cut off their retreat to the south.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Burn every village. Kill everybody.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Never leave behind you a man, woman or child who can ever carry a sword.

0:38:04 > 0:38:08- Why would they not attack? - Merlin doesn't want us dead.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14(SPEAKS WOAD DIALECT)
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Oh, I can't wait to leave this island.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42If it's not raining, it's snowing. If it's not snowing, it's foggy.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- And that's the summer. - The rain is good.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- Washes all the blood away. - It doesn't help the smell.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Bors, do you intend to take Vanora and all your bastards back home?
0:38:54 > 0:38:59Oh, I try to avoid that decision. By getting killed.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01(ALL CHUCKLE)
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Dagonet, she wants to get married and give the children names.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Women.- The children already have names, don't they?
0:39:11 > 0:39:16Just Gilly. It's too much trouble, so we gave the rest of them numbers.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- That's interesting. I thought you couldn't count.- (ALL LAUGH)
0:39:20 > 0:39:24You know, I never thought I'd get back home alive.
0:39:24 > 0:39:30Now I've got the chance, I don't want to leave my children.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- You'd miss them too much? - I'd take them with me.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37I like the little bastards. They mean something to me.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Especially number three.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45He's a good fighter.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- That's because he's mine. - (SNORTS / LAUGHS)
0:39:48 > 0:39:51I'm going for a piss.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- Who are you?- I am Arthur Castus, commander of the Sarmatian knights
0:40:20 > 0:40:22sent by Bishop Germanius of Rome.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Open the gate.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34It is a wonder you have come.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Good Jesus. Arthur and his knights.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43You have fought the Woads? Vile creatures.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Our orders are to evacuate you immediately.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48That is impossible.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Which is Alecto? - I am Alecto.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Alecto is my son.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Everything we have is here, in the land given to us by the pope.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02You're about to give it to the Saxons.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05They're invading from the north.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- Then Rome will send an army. - They have. Us.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- We leave as soon as you're packed. - I refuse to leave.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Go back to work! All of you!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21All right, all right!
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Go! Get back to work! All of you!
0:41:29 > 0:41:33If I fail to bring you and your son back, my men cannot leave this land,
0:41:33 > 0:41:37so you're coming with me if I have to tie you to my horse and drag you
0:41:37 > 0:41:41all the way to Hadrian's Wall myself, my lord.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Lady, my knights are hungry.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Go.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Come!
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Come. Let us go.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19Sir. You're famous. You're Arthur, aren't you?
0:42:19 > 0:42:22I'm Ganis. I'm a good fighter. I'd serve you proudly.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Are you from Rome?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27From hell.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Who is this man? - Our village elder.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36What is this punishment for?
0:42:36 > 0:42:40- Answer me! - He defied our master, Marius.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Most of the food we grow is sent out to be sold.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45He asked to keep more for ourselves.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49My arse is snapping at the grass I'm so hungry. You're from Rome.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Is it true Marius is a spokesman for God and that it's a sin to defy him?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59I'll tell you now.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Marius is not of God.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07And you - all of you - were free from your first breath.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Help this man. Help him!
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Now hear me.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25A vast and terrible army is coming this way. They will show no mercy,
0:43:25 > 0:43:29spare no-one. Those of you who are able should gather your things
0:43:29 > 0:43:33and move south towards Hadrian's Wall. Those unable will come with us.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36You, serve me now. Get these people ready.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40You heard him! You gotta grab enough food and water for the journey.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Get a hurry on, else we're all dead!
0:43:48 > 0:43:51- Come on. - Hurry.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55They have landed to the east.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58They come from the south, trying to cut off our escape.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02- They'll be here before nightfall. - How many?- An entire army.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- And the only way out is to the south? - East.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09There is a trail heading east across the mountains.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13It means we must cross behind Saxon lines, but it's what we should take.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Arthur, who are these people?
0:44:18 > 0:44:21They're coming with us.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24Then we'll never make it.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Come on! Get back to work.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Move. Move!
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Move!
0:44:56 > 0:44:59- What is this? - You cannot go in there.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02No-one goes in there. This place is forbidden.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04What are you doing?
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Stop this!
0:45:11 > 0:45:15Arthur, we have no time. Do you not hear the drums?
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Dagonet.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42- Key. - It is locked. From the inside.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01You. Go. Move!

0:46:49 > 0:46:52Is this how he answers your prayers?
0:46:52 > 0:46:55See if there's any still alive.
0:47:01 > 0:47:05You shouldn't have even set foot in this holy place!
0:47:07 > 0:47:11- There was a man of God. - Not my god.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15- This one's dead. - By the smell, they are all dead.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19And you. You even move, you join him.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Arthur!
0:47:30 > 0:47:33You must not fear me.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57Water! Get me some water!

0:48:26 > 0:48:28His arm is broken.

0:48:36 > 0:48:39I'm a Roman officer.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42You're safe now.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46- You're safe. - Stop what you are doing!
0:48:47 > 0:48:51- What is this madness? - They're all pagans here.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55- We, too.- They refuse to do the task God has set for them. They must die
0:48:55 > 0:48:59- as an example.- You mean they refuse to be your serfs!
0:48:59 > 0:49:04You are a Roman. You understand. And you are a Christian.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08You! You kept them alive!
0:49:12 > 0:49:14No! No! Stop!
0:49:15 > 0:49:20When we get to the wall, you will be punished for this heresy.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24Perhaps I should kill you now and seal my fate.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26I was willing to die with them.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28To lead them to their rightful place.
0:49:28 > 0:49:33It is God's wish that these sinners be sacrificed.
0:49:33 > 0:49:38- Only then can their souls be saved. - Then I shall grant his wish.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- Wall them back up. - Arthur.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45I said wall them up!
0:49:45 > 0:49:49Don't you see? It is the will of God that these sinners be sacrificed.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34We're moving too slow. The girl is not gonna make it. Nor is the boy.
0:50:34 > 0:50:39- The family we can protect, but all these people...- We won't leave them.
0:50:39 > 0:50:43If the Saxons find us, we will have to fight.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Then save your anger for them.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50Is this Rome's quest, or Arthur's?
0:51:14 > 0:51:17- Arthur. - How is he?
0:51:17 > 0:51:19He burns.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22Brave boy.
0:51:58 > 0:52:03Some of your fingers are out of place. I have to push them back.
0:52:05 > 0:52:09If I don't do this, there's a chance you may never use them again.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24- (BONES CRACK) - (SCREAMS / YELPS)
0:52:41 > 0:52:43He tortured me.

0:52:52 > 0:52:58He made me tell them things that I didn't know to begin with.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01And then...

0:53:15 > 0:53:18You're Arthur.

0:53:52 > 0:53:56I found tracks coming from the south but none going back.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03Could be knights.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07They know we're after them.
0:54:07 > 0:54:11We've got to head east now, through the mountains.

0:54:31 > 0:54:34Take your men east. Hunt them down.
0:54:34 > 0:54:39I'll take the main army to the wall. Bring the family there.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42- And the monks? - Put them back where you found them.
0:54:42 > 0:54:48I am a servant of God! (SOBS) I am a servant of God!
0:54:55 > 0:54:57Burn it all.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42My father told me great tales of you.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45Really? And what did you hear?
0:55:47 > 0:55:49Fairy tales.
0:55:49 > 0:55:53The kind you hear about people so brave, so selfless,
0:55:53 > 0:55:58that they can't be real. Arthur and his knights.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01A leader both Briton and Roman.
0:56:01 > 0:56:05And yet you chose your allegiance to Rome.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09To those who take what does not belong to them.
0:56:09 > 0:56:13- That same Rome that took your men from their homeland.- Listen, lady,
0:56:13 > 0:56:17do not pretend you know anything about me or my men.
0:56:17 > 0:56:21- How many Britons have you killed? - As many as tried to kill me.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24- It's a natural state of any man to want to live.- Animals live.
0:56:24 > 0:56:28It's a natural state of any man to want to live free.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32I belong to this land.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35Where do you belong, Arthur?
0:56:40 > 0:56:43How's your hand?
0:56:45 > 0:56:48I'll live. I promise you.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57Is there nothing about my land that appeals to your heart?
0:56:57 > 0:56:59Your own father married a Briton.
0:56:59 > 0:57:03Even he must have found something to his liking.
0:57:17 > 0:57:21We'll sleep here. Take shelter in those trees.
0:57:21 > 0:57:25- Tristan. - Do you wanna go out again? Yeah.

0:59:40 > 0:59:44So, Rome is leaving. The Saxon is come.
0:59:44 > 0:59:48The world we have known and fought for is ended.
0:59:48 > 0:59:52- Now we must make a new world. - Your world, Merlin, not mine.
0:59:52 > 0:59:56- I shall be in Rome.- To find peace, the Saxon will come to Rome.
0:59:56 > 1:00:00- My knights trust me not to betray them to the enemy.- Rome was my enemy.
1:00:00 > 1:00:04Not Arthur. We have no fight between us now.
1:00:04 > 1:00:07Tell that to the knights you killed before my eyes.
1:00:07 > 1:00:11- We have all lost brothers.- You know nothing of the loss I speak!
1:00:11 > 1:00:15Shall I help you remember? An attack on the village.
1:00:15 > 1:00:17The screams of an innocent woman.
1:00:22 > 1:00:25Mama!
1:00:25 > 1:00:27Artorius!
1:00:31 > 1:00:33(SCREAMS) Mama!
1:00:33 > 1:00:35Mama!
1:00:39 > 1:00:42'I ran to the burial mound of my father to free her.'
1:00:48 > 1:00:51To kill you.
1:00:51 > 1:00:53Father, please.
1:00:53 > 1:00:56Let loose your sword.
1:01:12 > 1:01:15I feel the heat of that fire on my face even now.
1:01:15 > 1:01:19I did not wish her dead. She was of our blood.
1:01:19 > 1:01:22As are you.
1:01:22 > 1:01:25If you were so determined to leave us to slaughter,
1:01:25 > 1:01:28why did you save so many?
1:01:34 > 1:01:38My men are strong, but they have need of a true leader.
1:01:38 > 1:01:40They believe you can do anything.
1:01:40 > 1:01:44To defeat the Saxon, we need a master of war.
1:01:44 > 1:01:46Why do you think I spared you in the forest?
1:01:49 > 1:01:53That sword you carry is made of iron from this earth,
1:01:53 > 1:01:55forged in the fires of Britain.
1:01:55 > 1:01:59It was love of your mother that freed the sword, not hatred of me.
1:02:01 > 1:02:04Love, Arthur.
1:02:20 > 1:02:22Seize him!
1:02:25 > 1:02:27No!
1:02:42 > 1:02:45I have the boy!
1:02:48 > 1:02:50Kill him!
1:02:50 > 1:02:53- No! Let him go! - Kill him now.
1:03:03 > 1:03:05Down. Aaagh!
1:03:09 > 1:03:11Your hand seems to be better.
1:03:16 > 1:03:19Artorius!
1:03:19 > 1:03:22Do we have a problem?
1:03:25 > 1:03:30You have a choice. You help, or you die.
1:03:33 > 1:03:37- Put down your weapons. Do it now! - Yeah!
1:03:45 > 1:03:49A fresh kill. Not a bad start to the day!
1:03:51 > 1:03:55Armour-piercing. They're close. We have no time.
1:03:55 > 1:03:58You ride ahead.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09I'm sorry for your loss.
1:04:09 > 1:04:12My father lost his way.
1:04:12 > 1:04:16He used to say the church is there to help us stay on our path.
1:04:16 > 1:04:19It didn't help those he made suffer.
1:04:19 > 1:04:23The path he chose was beyond the reach of the church, Alecto.
1:04:23 > 1:04:27But not of Rome. What my father believes, so Rome believes.
1:04:27 > 1:04:31- That some men are born to be slaves? No. That isn't true.- It is so.
1:04:31 > 1:04:34- He told me so.- Pelagius, a man as close to me as any,
1:04:34 > 1:04:38is there now, teaching that all men are free. Equal.
1:04:38 > 1:04:42And that each of us has the right to choose his own destiny.
1:04:42 > 1:04:44Teach? How? They killed Pelagius.
1:04:44 > 1:04:49A year past. Germanius and the others were damned by his teachings.
1:04:49 > 1:04:52They had him excommunicated and killed.
1:04:52 > 1:04:56The Rome you talk of doesn't exist.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58Except in your dreams.
1:05:23 > 1:05:27- Is there any other way? - No. We have to cross the ice.
1:05:27 > 1:05:31Get them all out of the carriages. Tell them to spread out.
1:06:00 > 1:06:03(ICE CREAKS)
1:06:18 > 1:06:21(RHYTHMIC DRUM BEAT)
1:06:42 > 1:06:44- Knights. - I'm tired of running.
1:06:46 > 1:06:50And these Saxons are so close behind my arse is hurting.
1:06:51 > 1:06:55I never liked looking over my shoulder anyway.
1:06:55 > 1:06:59- It'd be a pleasure to end to this. - And finally see the bastards.
1:07:00 > 1:07:03Here. Now.
1:07:07 > 1:07:11- Jols. - You two, take the horses.
1:07:17 > 1:07:21Ganis, I need you to lead the people. The main Saxon army is inland,
1:07:21 > 1:07:24so if you track the coastline until south of the wall, you'll be safe.
1:07:24 > 1:07:29- Your seven against 200? - Eight. You could use another bow.
1:07:31 > 1:07:35- I'd rather stay and fight. - You'll get your chance soon enough.
1:07:35 > 1:07:39- This man is now your captain. You do as he says. Understood?- Yes, sir.
1:07:39 > 1:07:43- Go. Go. - Right. Come on, then. Move on.
1:07:43 > 1:07:45I am able. I can fight.
1:07:45 > 1:07:48No. You must bear witness to all you have seen.
1:07:48 > 1:07:52There's one thing you must do, and that's get back to Rome.
1:08:20 > 1:08:24(RHYTHMIC DRUM BEAT)
1:08:30 > 1:08:32Hold until I give the command.
1:08:32 > 1:08:35You look frightened.
1:08:35 > 1:08:39There's a large number of lonely men out there.
1:08:41 > 1:08:44Don't worry. I won't let them rape you.
1:08:47 > 1:08:49Archer!
1:09:00 > 1:09:03- We're out of range. - I can see that.
1:09:03 > 1:09:07- They're waiting for an invitation. Bors. Tristan.- They're out of range.
1:09:23 > 1:09:25Go!
1:09:46 > 1:09:49Aim for the wings of the ranks. Make them cluster.
1:10:16 > 1:10:19- Hold the ranks! - Hold the ranks! Hold the ranks!
1:10:21 > 1:10:24- Hold the ranks! - Hold the ranks!
1:10:27 > 1:10:31Hold the ranks! Hold the ranks! I'll kill you myself!
1:10:35 > 1:10:38It's not gonna break. Back. Fall back.
1:10:38 > 1:10:40Prepare for combat.
1:10:47 > 1:10:50- Aaaaaagh! - Dag!
1:10:50 > 1:10:53- Cover him. - Archers! Move!
1:11:01 > 1:11:04Move! Move! Kill him!
1:11:11 > 1:11:14The ice is breaking!
1:11:17 > 1:11:19Kill him!
1:11:19 > 1:11:21Dag!
1:11:45 > 1:11:47Back! Back!
1:11:55 > 1:11:58Dag!
1:12:06 > 1:12:08Pull back!
1:12:17 > 1:12:19Kill him!
1:12:28 > 1:12:31Fast!
1:12:48 > 1:12:53Stay with me. Dagonet! Stay with me!
1:13:32 > 1:13:37Christ be praised! Against all the odds Satan could muster.
1:13:37 > 1:13:39Alecto! Let me see you.
1:13:40 > 1:13:43You have triumphed. Young Alecto.
1:13:43 > 1:13:46Let me see you. You are here!
1:13:46 > 1:13:49- Lucan! - You, boy! Stop!
1:14:16 > 1:14:19(LAUGHS UNEASILY) Great knights.
1:14:19 > 1:14:24You are free now. Give me the papers. Come, come.
1:14:24 > 1:14:29Your papers of safe conduct throughout the Roman Empire.
1:14:32 > 1:14:35Take it. Arthur.
1:14:38 > 1:14:40Bishop Germanius...
1:14:40 > 1:14:43..friend of my father...
1:14:52 > 1:14:54You are free now.
1:14:54 > 1:14:57You can go.
1:15:05 > 1:15:07Bors.
1:15:08 > 1:15:10Bors.
1:15:10 > 1:15:13Dagonet.
1:15:16 > 1:15:18This doesn't make him a free man.
1:15:19 > 1:15:22He's already a free man. He's dead.
1:15:53 > 1:15:56A grave with no sword.
1:15:56 > 1:15:59It was my father's wish
1:15:59 > 1:16:01that if he died on this island...
1:16:02 > 1:16:05..he would be buried with his knights.
1:16:05 > 1:16:07He died in battle?
1:16:07 > 1:16:10It's a family tradition.
1:16:13 > 1:16:18I can see why you believe that you have nothing left here.
1:16:18 > 1:16:20Except...
1:16:20 > 1:16:23..what you and your knights have done.
1:16:23 > 1:16:26- You have your deeds. - Deeds in themselves are meaningless
1:16:26 > 1:16:29unless they're for a higher purpose.
1:16:29 > 1:16:33We have waged a war to protect a Rome that does not exist. Is that the deed
1:16:33 > 1:16:37- I am to be judged by?- You stayed and fought when you didn't have to.
1:16:37 > 1:16:40You bloodied evil men when you could have run.
1:16:40 > 1:16:44You did all that for no reason?
1:16:47 > 1:16:50These are your people.
1:17:10 > 1:17:13- (BANG AT DOOR) - Arthur! Come to the wall now.
1:17:13 > 1:17:15Make way. Make way.
1:17:54 > 1:17:56Knights...
1:17:56 > 1:17:59..my journey with you must end here.
1:18:05 > 1:18:07May God go with you.
1:18:16 > 1:18:20Arthur, this is not Rome's fight.
1:18:20 > 1:18:23It is not your fight.
1:18:27 > 1:18:30All these long years we've been together.
1:18:30 > 1:18:33The trials we've faced. The blood we've shed.
1:18:33 > 1:18:36What was it all for,
1:18:36 > 1:18:38if not for the reward of freedom?
1:18:38 > 1:18:41And now, when we are so close,
1:18:41 > 1:18:45when it's finally within our grasp - look at me! -
1:18:45 > 1:18:48- does it all count for nothing? - You ask me that?
1:18:48 > 1:18:52You who know me best of all?
1:18:53 > 1:18:56Then do not do this!
1:18:56 > 1:19:00Only certain death awaits you here. I beg you for our friendship's sake!
1:19:00 > 1:19:03Be my friend now and do not dissuade me.
1:19:03 > 1:19:07Seize the freedom you have earned and live it for us. I cannot follow you.
1:19:09 > 1:19:13I now know that all the blood I have shed, all the lives I have taken,
1:19:13 > 1:19:15have led me to this moment.
1:20:06 > 1:20:09(RATTLING)
1:20:26 > 1:20:28What tomorrow brings...
1:20:30 > 1:20:32..we cannot know.
1:23:06 > 1:23:08Artorius!
1:23:10 > 1:23:12(SHOUTS) Bors!
1:23:26 > 1:23:28(SHOUTS)
1:24:18 > 1:24:21The Roman auxiliary has left the wall.
1:24:21 > 1:24:25- And the horsemen?- Leading a caravan away from the fort.
1:24:25 > 1:24:28They're running south with their tails between their legs.
1:24:28 > 1:24:31So there will be no resistance?
1:24:31 > 1:24:34A few dozen villagers.
1:24:36 > 1:24:39I'm going to slaughter your people.
1:24:39 > 1:24:41I think you should watch.
1:24:41 > 1:24:43The tree might be a good place.
1:24:43 > 1:24:46Up on the hill.
1:24:52 > 1:24:55A single knight.
1:24:58 > 1:25:01Didn't you just say they were gone? What is this?
1:25:01 > 1:25:04- A ghost? - (CHOKES / SPLUTTERS) One man.
1:25:04 > 1:25:09A tiny fly on the back of your great army.
1:25:10 > 1:25:12Who is he?
1:25:12 > 1:25:14Arthur.
1:25:16 > 1:25:18Arthur.
1:25:19 > 1:25:21Ah.
1:26:33 > 1:26:35Arthur.
1:26:38 > 1:26:42Wherever I go on this wretched island, I hear your name.
1:26:42 > 1:26:45Always half-whispered,
1:26:45 > 1:26:47as if you were a...
1:26:47 > 1:26:50..god.
1:26:52 > 1:26:56All I see is flesh.
1:26:56 > 1:26:58Blood.
1:26:59 > 1:27:03No more god than the creature you're sitting on.
1:27:03 > 1:27:05Speak your terms, Saxon.
1:27:05 > 1:27:08The Romans have left you.
1:27:08 > 1:27:10What are you fighting for?
1:27:12 > 1:27:16I fight for a cause beyond Rome's or your understanding.
1:27:22 > 1:27:24You come to beg a truce.
1:27:24 > 1:27:27You should be on your knees.
1:27:27 > 1:27:31I came to see your face, so that I alone may find you on the battlefield
1:27:31 > 1:27:35and it would be good for you to mark my face, Saxon,
1:27:35 > 1:27:40for the next time you see it, it will be the last thing you see on Earth.
1:27:51 > 1:27:54Ah, finally. A man worth killing.
1:27:56 > 1:27:58Agh!
1:28:03 > 1:28:06Prepare the men for battle.
1:28:09 > 1:28:13- (SHOUTS) - (ALL CHEER)
1:28:31 > 1:28:33(HORSE WHINNIES)

1:29:09 > 1:29:11Hey.
1:29:11 > 1:29:13You're free.
1:30:37 > 1:30:40He's got a plan, this Roman.
1:30:46 > 1:30:49Send what's left of your infantry.
1:30:51 > 1:30:54- Do you want to kill my men? - They're my men!
1:31:02 > 1:31:07- (SHOUTS) - No. You stay here with me.
1:31:07 > 1:31:10- (SHOUTS) - (ALL CHEER / SHOUT)
1:31:15 > 1:31:19Knights, the gift of freedom is yours by right.
1:31:19 > 1:31:22(ALL CHANT)
1:31:22 > 1:31:26But the home we seek resides not in some distant land.
1:31:26 > 1:31:31It's in us, and in our actions on this day!
1:31:34 > 1:31:37If this be our destiny, then, so be it.
1:31:37 > 1:31:40And may history remember that as free men,
1:31:40 > 1:31:44we chose to make it so.

1:48:55 > 1:48:58I neither took you off this island...
1:49:00 > 1:49:04..nor shared your faith.
1:49:36 > 1:49:40'For 200 years, knights had fought and died for a land not our own.
