In droves of hundreds and thousands.

Are you ready for a war?

How many horse, then?

Three hundred. Maybe more.

I didn't come here to fight

Hiya.

Stop, men! Do not flee!

Wait until we've negotiated!

Now what do we do?

Just be yourselves.

Where are you going?

I'm going to pick a fight.

Does anyone know his politics?

No, but his weight with the commoners

Inasmuch as you and your captains

We have beaten the English,

because you won't stand together.

What will you do?

I will invade England

Ha ha ha! Invade? That's impossible.

Why?

Why?

Why is that impossible?

You're so concerned with squabbling

for the scraps from Longshanks' table,

There's a difference between us.

Aye.

If you make enemies on both sides of the border,

We need them?

Aye. Nobles.

Tell me, what does that mean, to be noble?

Tell me, what does that mean, to be noble?

Your title gives you claim

Thank you, sire.

Uh, W-Wallace has sacked York.

Oh!

Will you speak with a woman?

I understand you have recently been given the rank of knight.

God makes men what they are.

Did God make you the sacker of peaceful cities?

The executioner of the king's nephew,

My husband's own cousin?

My husband's own cousin?

York was the staging point

for every invasion of my country,

for every invasion of my country,

even women and children from the city walls.

Well, Longshanks did far worse

the last time he took a Scottish city.

(SPEAKING LATIN)

Hamilton, leave us.

Milady...

Let us talk plainly.

You invade England,

The king desires peace.

Longshanks desires peace?

He declares it to me. I swear it.

In return, he grants you title, estates,

Slaves are made in such ways!

The last time Longshanks spoke of peace,

I understand you have suffered.

I know... about your woman.

She was my wife.

We married in secret

because I would not share her with an English lord.

They killed her, to get to me.

I have never spoken of it.

I don't know why I tell you now,

except...

I see her strength in you.

One day, you'll be a queen...

Ah, my son's loyal wife returns

He waits for you at York.

He says he will attack no more towns or cities

Even if you dispatch them today,

So our little ruse succeeded.

Thank you.

And while this upstart awaits my arrival in York,

Ahem.

Lords, Craig is right!

This time our only option

We require every soldier you can summon,

Other options?

Don't you wish at least to lead your men

Sir William...

We can't defeat this army!

We can! Sir William!

We can! Sir William!

And we will!

We won at Stirling, and still you quibble!

We won at Stirling, and still you quibble!

We won at York, and you would not support us.

If you'll not stand up with us now,

And if you're Scotsmen,

And if you're Scotsmen,

I'm ashamed to call myself one.

Please, Sir William, speak with me alone.

I beg you.

Now, you've achieved more than anyone ever dreamed,

but fighting these odds,

I will never be on the wrong side again.

I will never be on the wrong side again.

(SNORES)

No!

(YELLING)

There he is! After him!

Lord Craig, is it true about Mornay?

Aye. Wallace rode into his bedchamber and killed him.

Aye. Wallace rode into his bedchamber and killed him.

More a liability now than ever he was.

More a liability now than ever he was.

And there's no telling who'll be next.

Maybe you.

Maybe you.

Maybe me.

It doesn't matter.

I'm serious, Robert.

So am I!

Christ! Shit!

Search the place!

Lochlan.

William Wallace killed 50 men.

William Wallace killed 50 men.

50 if it was one.

100 men...

...with his own sword.

...with his own sword.

Cut through them like...

Moses through the Red Sea.

HAMILTON: His legend grows.

It will be worse than before.

He rallies new volunteers in every Scottish town,

He rallies new volunteers in every Scottish town,

and when he replenishes his numbers...

They're sheep! Mere sheep!

They're sheep! Mere sheep!

(COUGHING)

Easily dispersed if we strike the shepherd.

Very well.

Pick a flock of your finest assassins and set a meeting.

Milord, Wallace is renown

for his ability to smell an ambush.

If what Lord Hamilton tells me is correct,

If what Lord Hamilton tells me is correct,

he warmed to our future queen.

He would trust her.

He would trust her.

So we'll dispatch her with the notion

that she comes in peace.

Milord, the princess might be taken hostage

Milord, the princess might be taken hostage

or her life be put in jeopardy.

Oh, my son would be most distressed by that.

Oh, my son would be most distressed by that.

Uh, but in truth, if she were to be killed,

Uh, but in truth, if she were to be killed,

we would soon find the king of France

a useful ally against the Scots.

You see, as king,

you must find the good in any situation.

you must find the good in any situation.

It's William Wallace, sure.

He's giving up his sword.

Be ready.

Aah!

(SCREAMING)

(BIRD CALL)

(BIRD CALL)

Milady...

Milady...

I received your message.

Oh.

This is the second time

you've warned me of danger.

Why?

There will be a new shipment of supplies

coming north next month, foods and weapons...

coming north next month, foods and weapons...

No, stop.

Why do you help me?

Why do you help me?

Because of the way you are looking at me now.

Because of the way you are looking at me now.

STEPHEN: Just when we thought all hope was lost,

our noble saviors have arrived.

our noble saviors have arrived.

Off with their... hoods.

Sir William, we've come to seek a meeting.

Sir William, we've come to seek a meeting.

Well, what's the point?

You've all sworn loyalty to Longshanks.

You've all sworn loyalty to Longshanks.

An oath to a liar is no oath at all.

Every man of us is ready to swear loyalty to you.

So let the council swear publicly.

So let the council swear publicly.

We cannot. Some scarcely believe you're alive.

Others think you'll pay them Mornay's wages.

Others think you'll pay them Mornay's wages.

So we bid you to Edinburgh.

Meet us two days from now.

Pledge us your pardon, and we'll unite behind you.

Pledge us your pardon, and we'll unite behind you.

Scotland will be one.

One? You mean us and you.

One? You mean us and you.

No.

I mean this.

It's the pledge of Robert the Bruce.

You do know it's a trap. Tell him.

If the Bruce wanted to kill you,

he'd have done it at Falkirk.

he'd have done it at Falkirk.

Aye.

I know. I saw.

Leave him aside. What about the others?

Leave him aside. What about the others?

Nest of scheming bastards!

They couldn't agree on the color of shite!

It's a trap. Are you blind?

It's a trap. Are you blind?

Look at us.

We've got to try.

We can't do this alone.

We can't do this alone.

Joining the nobles is the only hope for our people.

You know what happens if we don't take that chance?

You know what happens if we don't take that chance?

What?

Nothing.

I don't want to be a martyr.

I don't want to be a martyr.

Nor I. I want to live.

I want a home and children and peace.

I want a home and children and peace.

Do you? Aye, I do.

I've asked God for those things.

It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom.

That's just a dream, William.

A dream? Just a...

Well, then what have we been doing all this time?

We've lived that dream.

We've lived that dream.

Your dream isn't about freedom.

It's about Murron.

Your dream is to be a hero 'cause you think she sees you.

Your dream is to be a hero 'cause you think she sees you.

I don't think she sees me. I know she does.

And your father sees you, too.

And your father sees you, too.

Ohh!

Ah.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Get up. Give us your hand.

(COUGHS)

(COUGHS)

Shall I come with you?

No. I'll go alone.

No. I'll go alone.

I'll see you after.

Right.

Sooner rather than later, I hope.

He won't come.

He will.

I know he will.

Milord, he approaches!

Milord, he approaches!

No!

Stay out of it, Robert!

Aah! You lied! You lied!

Aah! You lied! You lied!

Bruce is not to be hurt! That's the arrangement!

Bruce is not to be hurt! That's the arrangement!

Father!

Father!

You rotting bastard!

Why? Why?

Why? Why?

Longshanks required Wallace.

Longshanks required Wallace.

So did our nobles.

That was the price of your crown.

That was the price of your crown.

Die!

I want you to die!

I want you to die!

Soon enough I'll be dead,

and you'll be king.

I don't want anything from you.

I don't want anything from you.

You're not a man!

You're not my father.

You're my son, and you've always known my mind.

You're my son, and you've always known my mind.

You deceived me.

You let yourself be deceived.

You let yourself be deceived.

In your heart, you always knew what had to happen here.

In your heart, you always knew what had to happen here.

Thus, you know what it means to hate.

Thus, you know what it means to hate.

Now you're ready to be a king.

Now you're ready to be a king.

My hate will die with you.

My hate will die with you.

William Wallace,

you stand in taint of high treason.

Against whom?

Against your king.

Have you anything to say?

Have you anything to say?

Never in my whole life

did I swear allegiance to him.

did I swear allegiance to him.

It matters not. He is your king.

It matters not. He is your king.

Confess, and you may receive a quick death.

Confess, and you may receive a quick death.

Deny, and you must be purified by pain.

Do you confess?

Do you confess?

Then on the morrow,

you shall receive your purification.

you shall receive your purification.

(CHAINS JANGLING)

Your Highness.

I will see the prisoner.

We've got orders from the king...

The king will be dead in a month.

The king will be dead in a month.

His son is a weakling.

Who do you think will rule this kingdom?

Now open this door.

Now open this door.

Majesty.

Come on, filth. Up on your feet.

Come on, filth. Up on your feet.

Stop it!

Leave me.

I said, leave me!

I said, leave me!

Milady.

Sir, I come to beg you...

Sir, I come to beg you...

to confess all and swear allegiance to the king

to confess all and swear allegiance to the king

that he might show you mercy.

Will he show mercy to my country?

Will he show mercy to my country?

Mercy is to die quickly,

perhaps even live in a tower.

In time, who knows what can happen...

In time, who knows what can happen...

if you can only live?

If I swear to him,

If I swear to him,

then all that I am is dead already.

(CRYING)

(CRYING)

You will die. It will be awful.

Every man dies.

Not every man really lives.

Drink this.

Drink this.

It will dull your pain.

No. It will numb my wits.

No. It will numb my wits.

I must have them all.

For if I'm senseless, or if I wail,

For if I'm senseless, or if I wail,

then Longshanks will have broken me.

I can't bear the thought of your torture.

Take it.

All right.

I have come to beg for the life of William Wallace.

I have come to beg for the life of William Wallace.

You're quite taken with him, aren't you?

I respect him.

I respect him.

At worst, he was a worthy enemy.

Show mercy, o thou great king,

Show mercy, o thou great king,

and win the respect of your own people.

Even now, you are incapable of mercy.

Even now, you are incapable of mercy.

(LABORED BREATHING)

And you...

To you, that word is as unfamiliar as love.

Before he lost his powers of speech,

Before he lost his powers of speech,

he told me his one comfort was that

he would live to know Wallace was dead.

You see...

death comes to us all.

death comes to us all.

But before it comes to you,

know this...

Your blood dies with you.

A child who is not of your line grows in my belly.

Your son will not sit long on the throne, I swear it.

Your son will not sit long on the throne, I swear it.

(LABORED BREATHING)

(GURGLING)

(CLAMORING)

(CROWD OOHING AND AHING)

(CROWD OOHING AND AHING)

I'm so afraid.

Give me the strength, to die well.

Give me the strength, to die well.

(CROWD SHOUTING)

(BOOING)

(BOOING)

Here he comes!

Here he comes!

(SHOUTING)

Now behold the awful price of treason!

Now behold the awful price of treason!

(CHEERING)

You will fall to your knees now.

Declare yourself the king's loyal subject

and beg his mercy.

and beg his mercy.

And you shall have it.

Rope!

(COUGHING)

(COUGHING)

(VOMITING)

(VOMITING)

Stretch him!

That's it! Stretch him!

That's it! Stretch him!

Shame! Shame!

(CHEERING)

Pleasant... Yes?

Pleasant... Yes?

(GASPING)

Rise to your knees,

kiss the royal emblem on my cloak,

kiss the royal emblem on my cloak,

and you will feel no more.

(LABORED BREATHING)

Rack him!

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

Ahh.

Enough?

Ohh.

Ohh.

(GASPING)

It can all end right now.

Peace.

(GASPING)

(GASPING)

Bliss.

Just say it.

Cry out, "Mercy."

(GASPING)

ROBERT: After the beheading,

William Wallace's body was torn to pieces.

William Wallace's body was torn to pieces.

His head was set on London Bridge,

His head was set on London Bridge,

his arms and legs sent to the four corners of Britain

as a warning.

It did not have the effect that Longshanks planned.

And I, Robert the Bruce,

And I, Robert the Bruce,

rode out to pay homage to the armies of the English king

and accept his endorsement of my crown.

I hope you've washed your arse this morning.

It's about to be kissed by a king.

CRAIG: Come. Let's get it over with.

CRAIG: Come. Let's get it over with.

Stop!

You have bled with Wallace!

Now bleed with me.

Oh...

Aah!

Aah!

Wallace! Wallace!

WILLIAM: In the year of our Lord, 1314,

patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered,

patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered,

charged the fields of Bannockburn.

They fought like warrior poets,

they fought like Scotsmen...

and won their freedom.
