'By 300 AD, the Roman Empire extended from Arabia to Britain.' | 0:00:37 | 0:00:42 | |
'But they wanted more.' | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
'More land. More peoples loyal and subservient to Rome.' | 0:00:47 | 0:00:52 | |
'But no people so important as the powerful Sarmatians to the east.' | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
'Thousands died on that field.' | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
'And when the smoke cleared on the fourth day, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
'the only Sarmatian soldiers left alive | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
'were members of the decimated but legendary cavalry. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
'The Romans, impressed by their bravery and horsemanship, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
'spared their lives.' | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
'In exchange, these warriors were incorporated | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
'into the Roman military.' | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
'Better they had died that day.' | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Father! | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
They are here. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
'For part of the bargain they struck indebted not only themselves...' | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-The day has come. -'..but also their sons, and their sons and so on, | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
to serve the Empire as knights.' | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
'I was such a son.' | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
There is a legend that fallen knights return as great horses. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
He has seen what awaits you, and he will protect you. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
Lancelot! Lancelot! | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Lancelot. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
Don't be afraid. I will return. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
How long shall we be gone? | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
15 years. Not including the months it'll take to get to your post. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
Lancelot! | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
(ALL CHEER) | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
'Our post was Britain, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
'or at least the southern half, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
'for the land was divided by a 73-mile wall | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
'built three centuries before us to protect the Empire | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
'from the native fighters of the north.' | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
'So, as our forefathers had done, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
we made our way and reported to our Roman commander in Britain, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
ancestrally named for the first, Artorius... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
..or Arthur.' | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Ah. As promised. The bishop's carriage. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
Our freedom, Bors. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Mmm. I can almost taste it. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
And your passage to Rome, Arthur. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
(ALL SHOUT) | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |

(SHOUTS) | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
(SHOUTS / ROARS) | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Bors! | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
(RECITES IN LATIN) | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Save your prayers, boy. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
Your god doesn't live here. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Why did Merlin send you south of the wall? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
(SPEAKS WOAD DIALECT) | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
Pick it up. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Pick it up. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-Bors. -What a bloody mess. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
That's not the bishop. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
God help us! | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
-What are they? -Blue demons that eat Christians alive. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
You're not a Christian, are you? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
-Does this really work? -(WHIMPERS) | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Mmm? (MURMURS MOCKINGLY) | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
Nothing. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Maybe I'm not doing it right. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
(CHUCKLES) Arthur. Arthur Castus. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
Your father's image. I haven't seen you since childhood. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
Bishop Germanius. Welcome to Britain. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
I see your military skills are still of use to you. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
Your device worked. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
Ancient tricks for an ancient dog. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
And these are the brave Sarmatian knights | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
we have heard so much of in Rome. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
I thought the Woads controlled the north of Hadrian's Wall. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
They do, but occasionally venture south. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
Rome's anticipated withdrawal from Britain only increased their daring. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
-Woads? -British rebels who hate Rome. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Men who want their country back. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-Who leads them? -He's called Merlin. A dark magician, some say. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
Tristan, ride ahead and make sure the road is clear. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
Please do not worry, Bishop. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
We will protect you. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
I've no doubt, Commander. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
No doubt. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Dozens don't worry me nearly so much as thousands. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
Thousands? | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
Now that we're free men, I'm gonna drink till I can't piss straight. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
-You do that every night. -I never could piss straight. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
Too much of myself to handle down there. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
Well, it's a problem. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
No, really, it is. It's a problem. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-It's like... -(ALL) A baby's arm holding an apple. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
(ALL CHUCKLE) | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
I don't like him. The Roman. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
If he's here to discharge us, why doesn't he just give us our papers? | 0:12:41 | 0:12:46 | |
Is this your happy face? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
(ALL LAUGH) | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
Galahad, the Romans won't scratch their arses without a ceremony. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-Why not kill him, and then discharge yourself? -I don't kill for pleasure. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
Unlike some. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
You should try it someday. You might get a taste for it. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
-It's a part of you. It's in your blood. -No, no, no. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
(LAUGHS) No. As of tomorrow, this was all just a bad memory. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:14 | |
I've often thought about what going home would mean after all this. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
What will I do? It's different for Galahad. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
I've been in this life longer than the other. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
So much for home. It's not so clear in my memory. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
Speak for yourself. It's cold back there. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
Everyone I know is dead and buried. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Besides, I have, I think, a dozen children. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
11. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
Listen, when the Romans leave here, we'll have the run of this place. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
I'll be governor in my own village. Dagonet will be my personal guard. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
And royal arse-kisser. Won't you, Dag? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
First thing I'll do when I get home is find a beautiful Sarmatian woman. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
A beautiful Sarmatian woman? Why do you think we left? | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
(MOOS) | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
What about you, Lancelot? What are your plans for home? | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
If Gawain's woman is as beautiful as he says, I expect to spend much time | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
-at Gawain's house! His wife will welcome the company. -What will I do? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
Wonder at your good fortune that all your children look like me. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
Is that before or after I hit you with my axe? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
(CHUCKLES) | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
(WHISTLES) | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
Where've you been, huh? Where've you been? | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
What will you do, Arthur, when you return to your beloved Rome? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-Give thanks to God that I survived to see it. -You and your God! | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-You disturb me. -I want peace. I've had enough. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-You should visit me. -Pah! | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
It's a magnificent place, Rome. Ordered. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
-Civilised. Advanced. -The breeding ground of arrogant fools. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
The greatest minds in all lands have come together in one sacred place | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
to help make mankind free. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
And the women? (CHUCKLES) | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
-Welcome back, Arthur. -Jols. -Lancelot. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
-Bishop, please, my quarters have been made available to you. -Oh, yes. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
I must rest. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
Where have you been? I've been waiting for you! | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
Oh, such passion. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
Where's my Gilly? Gilly! | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-Have you been fighting? -Yes. -Winning? -Yes. -That's my boy. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
-Come on, all my other bastards. -(CHILDREN CHEER) | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
Pelagius. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Very kind of Arthur to give up his room. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
But of course, it is to be expected. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
(KNOCKS ON DOOR) Sir, I'm here to escort you to the fortress hall. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
When my master meets with your knights, he must be seated last | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
and he must be seated at the head of the table. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Your master can plonk his holy arse wherever he chooses. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
His eminence, Bishop Germanius. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
A round table? What sort of evil is this? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
Arthur says for men to be men they must first all be equal. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-I understood there'd be more of you. -There were. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
We have been fighting here for 15 years, Bishop. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Of course. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Arthur and his knights | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
have served with courage | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
to maintain the honour of Rome's Empire on this last outpost | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
of our glory. Rome is most indebted. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
To you, noble knights. To your final days as servants to the Empire. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
Day, not days. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
The pope's taken a personal interest in you. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
He enquires after each of you, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
and is curious to know if your knights | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
have converted to the word of our saviour, or - | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
They retain their forefathers' religion. I've never questioned that. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
Of course. Of course. They are pagans. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
Hmm? | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
For our part, the church has deemed such beliefs innocent, | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
but you, Arthur, your path to God is through Pelagius? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
-I saw his image in your room. -He took my father's place for me. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
His teachings on free will and equality have been a great influence. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
I look forward to our reunion in Rome. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
Rome awaits your arrival with great anticipation. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
You are a hero. In Rome, you will live out your days in honour. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
And wealth. Alas... | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
Alas, we are all but players in an ever-changing world. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
Barbarians from every corner are almost at Rome's door. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
Because of this, Rome, and the Holy Father, | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
have decided to remove ourselves from indefensible outposts, | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
such as Britain. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
What will become of Britain is not our concern any more. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-I suppose the Saxons will claim it soon. -Saxons? -Yes. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
In the north, a massive Saxon incursion has begun. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-The Saxons only claim what they kill. -And only kill everything. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
So, you just leave the land to the Woads, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
and I risked my life for nothing? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
Gentlemen... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
..your discharge papers | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
with safe conduct throughout the Roman Empire. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
But first I must have a word with your commander. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
-In private. -We have no secrets. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Come. Let's leave Roman business to Romans. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
Let it go, Bors. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
Rome has issued a final order for you and your men. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
-Final order? -You are to travel north to rescue the family | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
of Marius Honorius, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
and return in particular with Marius's son, Alecto. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
Alecto is the pope's favourite godchild and pupil. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:50 | |
It is his destiny to become a bishop. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
-Perhaps even pope one day. -On this day? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
You ask this of my men on this day? | 0:20:56 | 0:21:01 | |
They have risked their lives for 15 years for a cause not of their own, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
and now, on the day they are to be liberated, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
you send them on a mission more dangerous than any other. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
You tell me, Bishop. How do I go to my men and tell them | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
that instead of freedom, I offer death? | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
If your men are truly the knights of legend, perhaps some will survive. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
If it is God's will. Your men want to go home, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
and to get home, they need to cross the entire breadth | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
of the Roman Empire. Deserters would be hunted down like dogs. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:42 | |
Will you defy the pope, Arthur? Rome? God himself? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
Everything I've done has been for the church and Rome. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
-Do not mistake a loyal soldier for a fool. -Would you leave a defenceless | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
Roman boy, destined to lead our church, at the hands of the Saxons? | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
Fulfil this mission, and your men will receive their discharge. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
Their papers will be waiting here the moment they return. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
You have my word. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
Think very hard upon that vow, Bishop, for I will hold you to it. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
Break it, and no Roman legion... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
..papal army... | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
..nor God himself will protect you. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
That is my word. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Best of three. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
Who wants another drink? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
When are you gonna leave Bors and come home with me? | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
My lover is watching you! | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
(CRIES) | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
You look nothing like him. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
You're all Bors. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
-Tristan. -How do you do that? | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
I aim for the middle. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
(SIGHS) They want more. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
Here. Your mother's here, son. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
Dagonet, where have you been? We've got plans to make. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:36 | |
Here, please. Sing. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
-No! I'm trying to work. -Come on. Come sing. Shut up! | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
Vanora will sing. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
(ROWDY CHATTER) | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
Sing about home. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |

Knights... | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
..brothers in arms... | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
..your courage has been tested beyond all limits, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
-but I must ask you now for one further trial. -Drink. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
We must leave on a final mission for Rome | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
before our freedom can be granted. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
(ALL CHUCKLE) | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Above the wall, far in the north, is a Roman family in need of rescue. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
They are trapped by Saxons. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
Our orders are to secure their safety. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
-Let the Romans take care of their own. -Above the wall... | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-..is Woad territory. -Our duty to Rome, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
if it was ever a duty, is done. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
Our pact with Rome is done. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
Every knight here has laid his life on the line for you. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
For you. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
And instead of freedom, you want more blood? | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
Our blood? | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
You think more of Roman blood than you do of ours? | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
Bors, these are our orders. We leave at first light. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
When we return, your freedom will be waiting for you. A freedom we can... | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
I'm a free man! I will choose my own fate! | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
Yeah, yeah. We are all going to die some day. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
If death by a Saxon hand scares you, stay home. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
If you're so eager to die, die now! | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
-I've got something to live for! -The Romans have broken their word. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
We have the word of Arthur. That is good enough. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
I'll prepare. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
Bors, are you coming? | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
Course I'm coming! Can't let you go on your own! You'd all get killed! | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
I'm just saying what you're all thinking! | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
Vanora will kill me. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
And you, Gawain? | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
I'm with you. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Galahad as well. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
O merciful God, I have such need of your mercy now. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
Not for myself, but for my knights, | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
for this is truly their hour of need. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
Deliver them from the trials ahead and I will repay you a thousandfold | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
with any sacrifice you ask of me. And if, in your wisdom, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
you should determine that sacrifice must be my life for theirs, | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
so that they may once again taste the freedom so long denied to them, | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
I will gladly make that covenant. My death will have a purpose. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
-I ask no more than that. -Why do you always talk to God and not to me? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
Pray, to whomever you pray, that we don't cross the Saxons. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
My faith is what protects me. Why do you challenge this? | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
I don't like anything that puts a man on his knees. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
No man fears to kneel before the God he trusts. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
Without faith, what are we? | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
-To try and get past the Woads is insanity. -Them we fought before. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
Not north of the wall! | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
How many Saxons, hmm? How many? | 0:28:44 | 0:28:48 | |
Tell me, do you believe in this mission? | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
-These people need our help. It is... -I don't care about your charge. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:59 | |
And I don't give a damn about Romans, Britain or this island. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
If you desire to spend eternity here so be it, | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
-but suicide cannot be chosen... -You choose death... | 0:29:06 | 0:29:10 | |
No! I choose life! And freedom for myself and the men! | 0:29:10 | 0:29:14 | |
How many times have we snatched victory from the jaws of defeat? | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
Outnumbered, outflanked, yet still we triumph. With you at my side, | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
we can do so again. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
Lancelot, we are knights. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
What other purpose do we serve if not for such a cause? | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
Arthur, you fight for a world that will never exist. Never. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:42 | |
There will always be a battlefield. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
I will die in battle. Of that I'm certain. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
And hopefully a battle of my choosing. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
But if it be this one, | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
grant me a favour. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:03 | |
Don't bury me in our sad little cemetery. Burn me. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
Burn me and cast my ashes to a strong east wind. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:11 | |

Don't touch their women. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
We don't mix with these people. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
What kind of offspring do you think that would yield? | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
Weak people. Half people. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
We'll not have our Saxon blood watered down by mixing it. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:19 | |
According to our laws, no man may deny me the spoils of our conquest. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:24 | |

No! No! | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
Are you challenging me? | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |
If you want to challenge me, you have to have a sword in your hand. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:09 | |
As long as my heart beats, I rule and you hold your tongue... | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
..or I'll cut it out. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
We are three days' march from the great wall, if we camp at night. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:08 | |
We won't camp. The wall, what troops are stationed there? | 0:34:08 | 0:34:12 | |
Light Roman infantry. And possibly Sarmatian knights. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:17 | |
Arthur Castus is their leader. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
-Who is this Arthur? -It is said he has never been defeated in battle. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:24 | |
It is said he is a great warrior. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
Why should I trust you? | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
-You're a traitor to your own people. -Tell my father of the Roman estate. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:35 | |
Speak up! | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
A very high-ranking family live there. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:42 | |
They are of great importance to Rome. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
Father, their ransom could pay for the entire campaign. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:50 | |
I'll attack from the north with the main army. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
You bring your men down here, cut off their retreat to the south. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:07 | |
Burn every village. Kill everybody. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |

My arse is snapping at the grass I'm so hungry. You're from Rome. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:49 | |

I'll tell you now. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:59 | |
Marius is not of God. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |

spare no-one. Those of you who are able should gather your things | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
and move south towards Hadrian's Wall. Those unable will come with us. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:33 | |

Some of your fingers are out of place. I have to push them back. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:03 | |
If I don't do this, there's a chance you may never use them again. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:09 | |

He tortured me. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:43 | |
With machines. | 0:52:45 | 0:52:47 | |
He made me tell them things that I didn't know to begin with. | 0:52:52 | 0:52:58 | |
And then... | 0:52:59 | 0:53:01 | |
..I heard your voice in the dark. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:08 | |
I'm Guinevere. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:15 | |
You're Arthur. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:18 | |
Of the knights from the great war. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:21 | |
I am. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:24 | |
The famous Briton who kills his own people. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:28 | |
I found tracks coming from the south but none going back. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:56 | |
Horsemen, travelling light and fast. Could be Roman cavalry. | 0:53:56 | 0:54:00 | |
Could be knights. | 0:54:00 | 0:54:03 | |
They know we're after them. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:07 | |
We've got to head east now, through the mountains. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:11 | |
(BABBLES) | 0:54:11 | 0:54:14 | |
He says they walled him up and took the family. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:23 | |
Someone who goes by the name of Artorius. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:26 | |
It's him. | 0:54:26 | 0:54:28 | |
It's Arthur. | 0:54:28 | 0:54:31 | |
Take your men east. Hunt them down. | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
I'll take the main army to the wall. Bring the family there. | 0:54:34 | 0:54:39 | |
-And the monks? -Put them back where you found them. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:42 | |
I am a servant of God! (SOBS) I am a servant of God! | 0:54:42 | 0:54:48 | |
Burn it all. | 0:54:55 | 0:54:57 | |
My father told me great tales of you. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:42 | |
Really? And what did you hear? | 0:55:42 | 0:55:45 | |
Fairy tales. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:49 | |
The kind you hear about people so brave, so selfless, | 0:55:49 | 0:55:53 | |
that they can't be real. Arthur and his knights. | 0:55:53 | 0:55:58 | |
A leader both Briton and Roman. | 0:55:58 | 0:56:01 | |
And yet you chose your allegiance to Rome. | 0:56:01 | 0:56:05 | |
To those who take what does not belong to them. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:09 | |
-That same Rome that took your men from their homeland. -Listen, lady, | 0:56:09 | 0:56:13 | |
do not pretend you know anything about me or my men. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:17 | |
-How many Britons have you killed? -As many as tried to kill me. | 0:56:17 | 0:56:21 | |
-It's a natural state of any man to want to live. -Animals live. | 0:56:21 | 0:56:24 | |
It's a natural state of any man to want to live free. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:28 | |
I belong to this land. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:32 | |
Where do you belong, Arthur? | 0:56:32 | 0:56:35 | |
How's your hand? | 0:56:40 | 0:56:43 | |
I'll live. I promise you. | 0:56:45 | 0:56:48 | |
Is there nothing about my land that appeals to your heart? | 0:56:53 | 0:56:57 | |
Your own father married a Briton. | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
Even he must have found something to his liking. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:03 | |
We'll sleep here. Take shelter in those trees. | 0:57:17 | 0:57:21 | |
-Tristan. -Do you wanna go out again? Yeah. | 0:57:21 | 0:57:25 | |

(RUSTLING) | 0:58:41 | 0:58:43 | |
-You betrayed me. -He means you no harm. | 0:59:29 | 0:59:32 | |
Peace between us this night, Arthur Castus. | 0:59:32 | 0:59:36 | |
So, Rome is leaving. The Saxon is come. | 0:59:40 | 0:59:44 | |
The world we have known and fought for is ended. | 0:59:44 | 0:59:48 | |
-Now we must make a new world. -Your world, Merlin, not mine. | 0:59:48 | 0:59:52 | |
-I shall be in Rome. -To find peace, the Saxon will come to Rome. | 0:59:52 | 0:59:56 | |
-My knights trust me not to betray them to the enemy. -Rome was my enemy. | 0:59:56 | 1:00:00 | |
Not Arthur. We have no fight between us now. | 1:00:00 | 1:00:04 | |
Tell that to the knights you killed before my eyes. | 1:00:04 | 1:00:07 | |
-We have all lost brothers. -You know nothing of the loss I speak! | 1:00:07 | 1:00:11 | |
Shall I help you remember? An attack on the village. | 1:00:11 | 1:00:15 | |
The screams of an innocent woman. | 1:00:15 | 1:00:17 | |
Mama! | 1:00:22 | 1:00:25 | |
Artorius! | 1:00:25 | 1:00:27 | |
(SCREAMS) Mama! | 1:00:31 | 1:00:33 | |
Mama! | 1:00:33 | 1:00:35 | |
'I ran to the burial mound of my father to free her.' | 1:00:39 | 1:00:42 | |
To kill you. | 1:00:48 | 1:00:51 | |
Father, please. | 1:00:51 | 1:00:53 | |
Let loose your sword. | 1:00:53 | 1:00:56 | |
I feel the heat of that fire on my face even now. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:15 | |
I did not wish her dead. She was of our blood. | 1:01:15 | 1:01:19 | |
As are you. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:22 | |
If you were so determined to leave us to slaughter, | 1:01:22 | 1:01:25 | |
why did you save so many? | 1:01:25 | 1:01:28 | |
My men are strong, but they have need of a true leader. | 1:01:34 | 1:01:38 | |
They believe you can do anything. | 1:01:38 | 1:01:40 | |
To defeat the Saxon, we need a master of war. | 1:01:40 | 1:01:44 | |
Why do you think I spared you in the forest? | 1:01:44 | 1:01:46 | |
That sword you carry is made of iron from this earth, | 1:01:49 | 1:01:53 | |
forged in the fires of Britain. | 1:01:53 | 1:01:55 | |
It was love of your mother that freed the sword, not hatred of me. | 1:01:55 | 1:01:59 | |
Love, Arthur. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:04 | |
Seize him! | 1:02:20 | 1:02:22 | |
No! | 1:02:25 | 1:02:27 | |
I have the boy! | 1:02:42 | 1:02:45 | |
Kill him! | 1:02:48 | 1:02:50 | |
-No! Let him go! -Kill him now. | 1:02:50 | 1:02:53 | |
Down. Aaagh! | 1:03:03 | 1:03:05 | |
Your hand seems to be better. | 1:03:09 | 1:03:11 | |
Artorius! | 1:03:16 | 1:03:19 | |
Do we have a problem? | 1:03:19 | 1:03:22 | |
You have a choice. You help, or you die. | 1:03:25 | 1:03:30 | |
-Put down your weapons. Do it now! -Yeah! | 1:03:33 | 1:03:37 | |
A fresh kill. Not a bad start to the day! | 1:03:45 | 1:03:49 | |
Armour-piercing. They're close. We have no time. | 1:03:51 | 1:03:55 | |
You ride ahead. | 1:03:55 | 1:03:58 | |
I'm sorry for your loss. | 1:04:07 | 1:04:09 | |
My father lost his way. | 1:04:09 | 1:04:12 | |
He used to say the church is there to help us stay on our path. | 1:04:12 | 1:04:16 | |
It didn't help those he made suffer. | 1:04:16 | 1:04:19 | |
The path he chose was beyond the reach of the church, Alecto. | 1:04:19 | 1:04:23 | |
But not of Rome. What my father believes, so Rome believes. | 1:04:23 | 1:04:27 | |
-That some men are born to be slaves? No. That isn't true. -It is so. | 1:04:27 | 1:04:31 | |
-He told me so. -Pelagius, a man as close to me as any, | 1:04:31 | 1:04:34 | |
is there now, teaching that all men are free. Equal. | 1:04:34 | 1:04:38 | |
And that each of us has the right to choose his own destiny. | 1:04:38 | 1:04:42 | |
Teach? How? They killed Pelagius. | 1:04:42 | 1:04:44 | |
A year past. Germanius and the others were damned by his teachings. | 1:04:44 | 1:04:49 | |
They had him excommunicated and killed. | 1:04:49 | 1:04:52 | |
The Rome you talk of doesn't exist. | 1:04:52 | 1:04:56 | |
Except in your dreams. | 1:04:56 | 1:04:58 | |
-Is there any other way? -No. We have to cross the ice. | 1:05:23 | 1:05:27 | |
Get them all out of the carriages. Tell them to spread out. | 1:05:27 | 1:05:31 | |

And these Saxons are so close behind my arse is hurting. | 1:06:46 | 1:06:50 | |
I never liked looking over my shoulder anyway. | 1:06:51 | 1:06:55 | |
-It'd be a pleasure to end to this. -And finally see the bastards. | 1:06:55 | 1:06:59 | |
Here. Now. | 1:07:00 | 1:07:03 | |
-Jols. -You two, take the horses. | 1:07:07 | 1:07:11 | |
Ganis, I need you to lead the people. The main Saxon army is inland, | 1:07:17 | 1:07:21 | |
so if you track the coastline until south of the wall, you'll be safe. | 1:07:21 | 1:07:24 | |
-Your seven against 200? -Eight. You could use another bow. | 1:07:24 | 1:07:29 | |
-I'd rather stay and fight. -You'll get your chance soon enough. | 1:07:31 | 1:07:35 | |
-This man is now your captain. You do as he says. Understood? -Yes, sir. | 1:07:35 | 1:07:39 | |
-Go. Go. -Right. Come on, then. Move on. | 1:07:39 | 1:07:43 | |
I am able. I can fight. | 1:07:43 | 1:07:45 | |
No. You must bear witness to all you have seen. | 1:07:45 | 1:07:48 | |
There's one thing you must do, and that's get back to Rome. | 1:07:48 | 1:07:52 | |

A grave with no sword. | 1:15:53 | 1:15:56 | |
It was my father's wish | 1:15:56 | 1:15:59 | |
that if he died on this island... | 1:15:59 | 1:16:01 | |
..he would be buried with his knights. | 1:16:02 | 1:16:05 | |
He died in battle? | 1:16:05 | 1:16:07 | |
It's a family tradition. | 1:16:07 | 1:16:10 | |
I can see why you believe that you have nothing left here. | 1:16:13 | 1:16:18 | |
Except... | 1:16:18 | 1:16:20 | |
..what you and your knights have done. | 1:16:20 | 1:16:23 | |

unless they're for a higher purpose. | 1:16:26 | 1:16:29 | |
We have waged a war to protect a Rome that does not exist. Is that the deed | 1:16:29 | 1:16:33 | |
-I am to be judged by? -You stayed and fought when you didn't have to. | 1:16:33 | 1:16:37 | |
You bloodied evil men when you could have run. | 1:16:37 | 1:16:40 | |

Arthur, this is not Rome's fight. | 1:18:16 | 1:18:20 | |
It is not your fight. | 1:18:20 | 1:18:23 | |
All these long years we've been together. | 1:18:27 | 1:18:30 | |
The trials we've faced. The blood we've shed. | 1:18:30 | 1:18:33 | |
What was it all for, | 1:18:33 | 1:18:36 | |
if not for the reward of freedom? | 1:18:36 | 1:18:38 | |
And now, when we are so close, | 1:18:38 | 1:18:41 | |
when it's finally within our grasp - look at me! - | 1:18:41 | 1:18:45 | |
-does it all count for nothing? -You ask me that? | 1:18:45 | 1:18:48 | |
You who know me best of all? | 1:18:48 | 1:18:52 | |
Then do not do this! | 1:18:53 | 1:18:56 | |
Only certain death awaits you here. I beg you for our friendship's sake! | 1:18:56 | 1:19:00 | |
Be my friend now and do not dissuade me. | 1:19:00 | 1:19:03 | |
Seize the freedom you have earned and live it for us. I cannot follow you. | 1:19:03 | 1:19:07 | |
I now know that all the blood I have shed, all the lives I have taken, | 1:19:09 | 1:19:13 | |
have led me to this moment. | 1:19:13 | 1:19:15 | |

They're running south with their tails between their legs. | 1:24:25 | 1:24:28 | |
So there will be no resistance? | 1:24:28 | 1:24:31 | |

Speak your terms, Saxon. | 1:27:03 | 1:27:05 | |
The Romans have left you. | 1:27:05 | 1:27:08 | |
What are you fighting for? | 1:27:08 | 1:27:10 | |
I fight for a cause beyond Rome's or your understanding. | 1:27:12 | 1:27:16 | |
You come to beg a truce. | 1:27:22 | 1:27:24 | |
You should be on your knees. | 1:27:24 | 1:27:27 | |
I came to see your face, so that I alone may find you on the battlefield | 1:27:27 | 1:27:31 | |
