1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,166
I knew your father.

2
00:00:05,190 --> 00:00:07,819
I am yet convinced that
he was not of this world.

3
00:00:09,420 --> 00:00:11,166
You have his presence.

4
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:13,596
I've seen the land shining with goodness.

5
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:16,353
It's the kingdom of
summer, and I will be its king.

6
00:00:17,994 --> 00:00:21,036
Vortigern is gone. Rome is gone.

7
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:24,126
The saecsen is here,
but who will lead the fight?

8
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:26,106
My brother is high king.

9
00:00:26,130 --> 00:00:28,566
Your brother commands
no army of his own.

10
00:00:28,590 --> 00:00:30,396
Yield your claim.

11
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:32,936
I will yet forgive if you
agree to bend the knee.

12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,753
Will you follow me against the saecsen?

13
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:45,038
We recognize aurelius
as the lawful high king.

14
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:49,356
Fisher king's sword.

15
00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:53,290
Your sword, the sword of a high king.

16
00:00:54,123 --> 00:00:57,419
What was it like, Merlin,
to be alone with god?

17
00:00:57,443 --> 00:00:59,946
Is that who you think I was alone with?

18
00:00:59,970 --> 00:01:00,970
Who else?

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,476
I do not know if god
was with me in caer efon

20
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:08,570
all these many years, grandfather,
but I know morgian was.

21
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:11,946
You would've drowned on the shores

22
00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:13,416
of sores if not for me.

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,996
And am I to thank you
for this life that I have,

24
00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:18,306
ignored and forgotten?

25
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:21,636
Arian, you must hurry along
to your studies with caius.

26
00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:24,546
Your mother knows what's best for you.

27
00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:28,566
A gift for hengist.

28
00:01:28,590 --> 00:01:31,206
Great darkness is falling upon this land.

29
00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:33,480
These brothers are our
only hope to stand against it.

30
00:01:33,504 --> 00:01:36,477
The kings of the north
shall ride to their aid.

31
00:01:36,501 --> 00:01:38,043
You have my word.

32
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:38,553
Hail the wild man of the wood.

33
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,513
I bring you greetings
from the world of men.

34
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:47,673
Your work is not finished
in the land of the living.

35
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:51,903
Your salvation is at hand.

36
00:02:53,130 --> 00:02:56,731
But you must go back the way you came.

37
00:02:56,755 --> 00:03:02,586
I won't go back. I won't go back.

38
00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:05,613
Do you remember the
last time you tasted wine,

39
00:03:07,290 --> 00:03:10,263
warm food in your
belly, Merlin ambrosius?

40
00:03:12,060 --> 00:03:14,166
How do you know my name?

41
00:03:14,190 --> 00:03:15,484
Drink.

42
00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:22,683
50 years is a long time to
live on locusts and honey.

43
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:26,550
Has it been that long?

44
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,966
I am not going back.

45
00:03:30,990 --> 00:03:33,876
So you say.

46
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:35,496
I am happy as I am.

47
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,836
No one is happy in hell.

48
00:03:37,860 --> 00:03:38,957
Leave me.

49
00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:45,513
I have not come to take you away.

50
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:50,346
You have carried your
burden long enough.

51
00:03:50,370 --> 00:03:52,928
It is time to lay it down.

52
00:03:57,630 --> 00:03:58,633
Burden it may be,

53
00:04:01,537 --> 00:04:05,887
but it's all I have left.

54
00:04:05,911 --> 00:04:08,255
No, Merlin, not all.

55
00:04:12,237 --> 00:04:16,865
The time has come,
my son, to be reborn.

56
00:07:00,563 --> 00:07:02,973
Madoc's archers arrived last night.

57
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:08,313
We estimate about 2,000
with another 500 mounted.

58
00:07:12,690 --> 00:07:13,940
How many are there now?

59
00:07:18,911 --> 00:07:19,911
More.

60
00:07:24,450 --> 00:07:28,206
We grow our army by twos and threes,

61
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:33,036
and every day, a new warship
arrives from saecsenland.

62
00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:34,686
Do we grow?

63
00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:37,776
Some of the dumnonii
slipped away last night.

64
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,823
Leave the quarrels outside this tent.

65
00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:47,860
We all know the enemy is strong.

66
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:51,503
Their ranks are more
numerous than our own.

67
00:07:51,527 --> 00:07:53,740
It was our weakness and division

68
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:57,353
that let the barbarians
gain a foothold in this land.

69
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,883
If we are to drive them out,

70
00:08:01,470 --> 00:08:03,276
it must be by our strength and unity.

71
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,650
And how are we to drive out

72
00:08:06,527 --> 00:08:09,557
15,000 saecsen

73
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,460
with only two and a half thousand men?

74
00:08:18,444 --> 00:08:20,594
Hengist's arrogance will be his downfall.

75
00:08:29,782 --> 00:08:30,986
Take those blades over.

76
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:32,806
The boy is a fool.

77
00:08:32,830 --> 00:08:34,926
5,000 could not hold that fort,

78
00:08:34,950 --> 00:08:38,403
not even if they were the
finest soldiers in the world.

79
00:08:38,427 --> 00:08:42,666
You must talk to him,
attempt to impart some reason.

80
00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:46,053
Speak if you will. I've had my fill of talk.

81
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,066
What are you saying?

82
00:08:48,090 --> 00:08:51,486
Look around you. If
we stay, we're doomed.

83
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:53,886
And if we retreat the saecsens will rape

84
00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:55,416
and pillage this land.

85
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,576
Let them rape and pillage.

86
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,376
The walls of my fortress are high,

87
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,902
and I intend to live to
see another summer.

88
00:09:11,310 --> 00:09:13,121
I didn't figure you for a coward.

89
00:09:16,530 --> 00:09:17,826
Since when does a king need permission

90
00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:18,966
to ride among his troops?

91
00:09:18,990 --> 00:09:20,796
Don't lie to me, morcant.

92
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:21,996
I do not lie.

93
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:25,146
You would abandon your
brothers on the Eve of battle.

94
00:09:25,170 --> 00:09:27,393
I would save my people from destruction.

95
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,755
So should you.

96
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:33,246
A saecsen army could never
breach the walls of tintagel.

97
00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:36,726
Send your men back to their beds,

98
00:09:36,750 --> 00:09:39,126
and I'll say no more of this offense.

99
00:09:39,150 --> 00:09:41,973
No one commands my men but I.

100
00:10:02,742 --> 00:10:04,234
Faer folk.

101
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:35,163
King aurelius.

102
00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:38,406
I present to you the lord of the north.

103
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:39,633
Greetings, my friends.

104
00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:42,250
You'll find a warm welcome here.

105
00:10:43,290 --> 00:10:45,740
I hear you've brought
us some saecsens to kill.

106
00:10:46,860 --> 00:10:47,960
That's welcome enough.

107
00:10:50,370 --> 00:10:51,370
Steward.

108
00:10:52,106 --> 00:10:53,356
Battle chief.

109
00:11:01,497 --> 00:11:03,383
Are we late to the battle?

110
00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:09,581
The enemy's before us, not behind.

111
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,460
I heard the faery of the
north are great warriors.

112
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,990
Did the saecsens take your arm?

113
00:11:21,353 --> 00:11:24,093
No, it was my daughter's husband.

114
00:11:35,370 --> 00:11:38,253
My lord, there's someone waiting for you.

115
00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:44,980
Mother.

116
00:11:47,199 --> 00:11:49,199
What are you doing here?

117
00:11:51,093 --> 00:11:52,296
It's not safe.

118
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,446
I've come with some brothers
from the shrine of St. Joseph

119
00:11:55,470 --> 00:11:57,096
to ease the pain of the wounded

120
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,111
and the passage of the dying.

121
00:12:09,423 --> 00:12:10,623
What is it, hawk?

122
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:17,780
Not long ago, you offered
me the Fisher king's sword.

123
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,083
I would gladly take it up now.

124
00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:25,470
I did not bring it.

125
00:12:27,450 --> 00:12:28,836
I have offered that sword to each

126
00:12:28,860 --> 00:12:31,356
of the three great men in my life.

127
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:32,946
Your grandfather refused it.

128
00:12:32,970 --> 00:12:36,423
Your father refused it, and you refused it.

129
00:12:40,770 --> 00:12:43,470
I have always believed you
were meant to be high king.

130
00:12:45,150 --> 00:12:48,655
Your father prophesied
it. Hafgan declared it.

131
00:12:52,530 --> 00:12:54,580
Perhaps they saw
through me to another.

132
00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:59,316
And perhaps, perhaps you were meant

133
00:12:59,340 --> 00:13:00,933
to wield a different weapon.

134
00:13:34,350 --> 00:13:36,054
King gorlas's daughter.

135
00:13:40,117 --> 00:13:41,523
Does your brother know?

136
00:13:43,410 --> 00:13:46,263
My brother has more
important matters to attend to,

137
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:49,900
as do we all.

138
00:13:59,310 --> 00:14:01,923
The river is too far and too deep.

139
00:14:02,940 --> 00:14:05,076
It's not too far on horseback,

140
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,166
and it's not too deep if it's unguarded.

141
00:14:08,190 --> 00:14:10,503
As soon as we march our armies north,

142
00:14:11,591 --> 00:14:13,506
hengist will turn to us.

143
00:14:13,530 --> 00:14:17,676
No, he won't because the
main body of our war host

144
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:19,200
will already have engaged him.

145
00:14:23,099 --> 00:14:26,349
Here.

146
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:30,063
Make an easy target.

147
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:33,216
Make him commit his war host.

148
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,326
Aye.

149
00:14:34,350 --> 00:14:37,953
And I will lead the
mounted troops to the river,

150
00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:43,833
cross, and attack hengist from behind.

151
00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:45,966
You?

152
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:46,957
It must be me.

153
00:14:46,981 --> 00:14:50,373
If you can kill the bretwalda himself,

154
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:52,923
his armies will collapse.

155
00:14:55,170 --> 00:14:57,066
Then you think it's a
good plan, king gorlas?

156
00:14:57,090 --> 00:15:01,338
I think it's a desperate plan and foolish.

157
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:08,403
But I can see none better.

158
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:17,736
Then the die is cast.

159
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,000
Tomorrow, we make war.

160
00:15:22,975 --> 00:15:26,399
For britain.

161
00:15:34,890 --> 00:15:37,896
And what happens when we
cannot hold the river long enough

162
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,670
before aurelius makes his crossing?

163
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,580
We won't need that long,

164
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,820
just long enough

165
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,163
for myrddin to remember his calling.

166
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,605
You've kept your promise

167
00:16:05,629 --> 00:16:08,530
and brought us the men in the north,

168
00:16:08,554 --> 00:16:10,221
but it isn't enough.

169
00:16:12,394 --> 00:16:14,496
What does aurelius say?

170
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,713
His new faith has clouded his judgment.

171
00:16:18,180 --> 00:16:19,480
He's waiting on a miracle.

172
00:16:21,660 --> 00:16:23,160
And why do you tell me this?

173
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,870
Because I think you can give him one.

174
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,880
They say that when the
battle awen is upon you,

175
00:16:41,070 --> 00:16:42,873
you become an unstoppable force.

176
00:16:43,740 --> 00:16:45,483
Ride with us into battle tomorrow.

177
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:52,776
We face 15,000 saecsen.

178
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,523
What do you ask? I know what I ask.

179
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:59,676
If I lead you into victory, uther,

180
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:02,223
the men of britain will proclaim me king.

181
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:10,360
Yes.

182
00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:15,007
But at least there will be a britain.

183
00:17:32,356 --> 00:17:39,124
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

184
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:43,768
Not by my power, jesu, but thine.

185
00:17:43,792 --> 00:17:46,125
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

186
00:17:47,893 --> 00:17:50,226
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

187
00:17:52,026 --> 00:17:54,359
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

188
00:17:56,589 --> 00:17:57,909
Not by my power, jesu, but thine.

189
00:18:00,429 --> 00:18:02,762
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

190
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:06,046
The men are ready for battle.

191
00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:10,026
Not by my power, jesu, but thine.

192
00:18:10,050 --> 00:18:11,660
For the soul of britain,

193
00:18:13,063 --> 00:18:14,853
the battle has already begun.

194
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,780
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

195
00:18:25,857 --> 00:18:29,597
Not by my power,
jesu. The power is thine.

196
00:18:29,621 --> 00:18:31,954
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

197
00:18:42,403 --> 00:18:45,336
A war camp is no place
for a lady such as yourself.

198
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,976
A lady is never safer
than with the battle chief

199
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,450
of britain watching over her.

200
00:18:53,070 --> 00:18:55,776
Forgive me if I've overstepped.

201
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,800
No.

202
00:18:57,690 --> 00:18:59,267
Ygerna.

203
00:19:20,532 --> 00:19:22,865
Jesu behind.

204
00:19:24,503 --> 00:19:27,636
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

205
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:29,823
He seeks our deliverance from god-

206
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,826
jesu behind.

207
00:19:32,850 --> 00:19:34,416
When he could so easily just give it

208
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,170
to us with his own hands.

209
00:19:37,194 --> 00:19:39,520
Not by my power, jesu, but thine.

210
00:19:48,458 --> 00:19:50,458
Jesu behind.

211
00:19:50,482 --> 00:19:53,076
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

212
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,510
That is why he seeks
deliverance from god

213
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,177
and not by his own hands. Jesu behind.

214
00:20:02,873 --> 00:20:04,593
Old one-eye approaches.

215
00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:09,603
You are lady of the lake?

216
00:20:09,627 --> 00:20:12,003
And you are king gorlas of tintagel, yes?

217
00:20:13,740 --> 00:20:15,423
This is my daughter, ygerna.

218
00:20:17,490 --> 00:20:20,583
I would entrust her
into your care tomorrow.

219
00:20:21,690 --> 00:20:24,633
Can you help bind wounds
and fetch water for the dying?

220
00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:29,140
I will do whatever I can to aid the fight.

221
00:20:58,668 --> 00:21:02,226
In the days of your father's fathers,

222
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:06,063
before the treachery,
before the conspiracy.

223
00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:10,266
When the eagle still flew
above the emperor's wall

224
00:21:10,290 --> 00:21:13,263
and the Roman peace
still held in these lands,

225
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,530
a babe was fetched from
the waters beneath yr widdfa,

226
00:21:21,030 --> 00:21:22,383
and that babe a bard,

227
00:21:24,990 --> 00:21:27,903
and that bard a prophet.

228
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:32,463
Hear then, if you will,

229
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,100
the vision of taliesin ap
elphin ap gwyddno garanhir,

230
00:21:43,578 --> 00:21:45,745
and this is the way of it.

231
00:25:17,730 --> 00:25:20,043
There is a land shining with goodness,

232
00:25:21,060 --> 00:25:25,746
where each man protects
his brother's dignity as his own,

233
00:25:25,770 --> 00:25:27,876
where war and want have ceased,

234
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:32,073
and all races live under the
same law of love and honor.

235
00:25:33,570 --> 00:25:36,156
It is a land bright with truth,

236
00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:38,496
where a man's word is his pledge

237
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,263
and falsehood is banished,

238
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,410
where children sleep
safely in their mother's arms

239
00:25:45,450 --> 00:25:49,506
and never know fear or pain,

240
00:25:49,530 --> 00:25:52,116
a land where kings
extend their hands in justice

241
00:25:52,140 --> 00:25:53,740
rather than reach for the sword,

242
00:25:54,750 --> 00:26:00,400
where mercy, kindness, and compassion

243
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,783
flow like deep water over the land,

244
00:26:06,030 --> 00:26:11,260
and men revere virtue,
revere truth, revere beauty

245
00:26:12,390 --> 00:26:15,393
above comfort, pleasure,

246
00:26:17,130 --> 00:26:18,153
and selfish gain,

247
00:26:21,030 --> 00:26:24,246
a land where peace
reigns in the hearts of men.

248
00:26:24,270 --> 00:26:27,456
Faith blazes like a
beacon from every hill,

249
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,126
love like a fire from every heart,

250
00:26:30,150 --> 00:26:32,166
where the true god is worshiped

251
00:26:32,190 --> 00:26:34,053
and his ways acclaimed by all.

252
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,570
There is a golden
realm of light, my friends,

253
00:26:42,990 --> 00:26:44,940
and it is called the kingdom of summer.

254
00:28:06,994 --> 00:28:09,640
Nice work.

255
00:28:11,378 --> 00:28:13,211
Good luck.

256
00:28:21,967 --> 00:28:24,884
Be strong. Be resilient.

257
00:28:34,683 --> 00:28:36,213
This is an honor, father,

258
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,963
to ride with you into battle.

259
00:28:41,722 --> 00:28:45,426
And we both earn names
the bards shall speak of

260
00:28:45,450 --> 00:28:46,533
throughout the ages.

261
00:28:59,460 --> 00:29:01,863
And may god in heaven deliver us.

262
00:29:06,210 --> 00:29:07,560
Sire, allow me.

263
00:29:12,150 --> 00:29:16,533
Your song last night, I've
never heard anything like it.

264
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,190
Greater rebuke you could not give me.

265
00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:22,420
I mean no rebuke.

266
00:29:23,850 --> 00:29:24,850
On the contrary,

267
00:29:26,820 --> 00:29:29,376
I've never seen the
souls of men stirred so.

268
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,150
But that is the rebuke, king.

269
00:29:34,625 --> 00:29:36,958
I have failed you, aurelius.

270
00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:39,310
Failed?

271
00:29:40,860 --> 00:29:42,936
I sit at the head of an
army of your making.

272
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,663
While I've been playing
kingmaker and politician,

273
00:29:47,250 --> 00:29:49,506
while I've been wallowing in my misery

274
00:29:49,530 --> 00:29:51,063
for a lifetime or more,

275
00:29:53,850 --> 00:29:56,616
while I was busy being
king in maridunum,

276
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,233
fhain-brother in the north,
and dreaming away my youth,

277
00:30:03,390 --> 00:30:06,450
I should have been
focused on my first calling,

278
00:30:10,170 --> 00:30:11,253
my true calling.

279
00:30:15,930 --> 00:30:17,796
I am Merlin emrys,

280
00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:21,426
son of taliesin ap elphin ap gwyddno,

281
00:30:21,450 --> 00:30:24,273
and I am the last true bard
of the island of the mighty.

282
00:30:26,310 --> 00:30:29,977
I will uphold you in battle,
as the bards of the old did.

283
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:37,547
The fate of britain ever rests

284
00:30:37,571 --> 00:30:39,171
in the hands of the great light.

285
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,753
Then I'll see you in the battle is won.

286
00:31:05,412 --> 00:31:07,829
If your prayer should fail.

287
00:32:16,823 --> 00:32:18,597
Are we not riding with them, lord?

288
00:32:19,860 --> 00:32:20,860
No.

289
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,730
We must fight a different battle.

290
00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:55,173
Men of the island of the mighty,

291
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,000
long have your tribes fought alone

292
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,833
against the Irish, pict,

293
00:33:02,551 --> 00:33:04,468
scoti, and the saecsen,

294
00:33:05,430 --> 00:33:07,773
at times, against each other,

295
00:33:09,210 --> 00:33:12,573
east and west, north and south,

296
00:33:14,526 --> 00:33:19,026
cymry and brigante,
cornovii and demetae,

297
00:33:20,327 --> 00:33:21,994
belgae and dumnonii.

298
00:33:23,940 --> 00:33:27,186
Since bran the blessed,
you have only known peace

299
00:33:27,210 --> 00:33:28,986
when it was given to you.

300
00:33:29,010 --> 00:33:30,546
You have only known unity

301
00:33:30,570 --> 00:33:32,883
when it was forced upon
you by stronger kings,

302
00:33:33,870 --> 00:33:37,386
but today, you stand together.

303
00:33:37,410 --> 00:33:39,333
You stand as britons.

304
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,413
You stand as one, or you will surely fall.

305
00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:12,963
Behold, the sword of Magnus Maximus,

306
00:34:14,605 --> 00:34:16,938
emperor of britain and Rome,

307
00:34:17,776 --> 00:34:21,093
who held this land against
the barbarians so long ago.

308
00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:27,430
Now behold your battle chief.

309
00:34:31,818 --> 00:34:35,076
You must hold the line, brother.

310
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:36,200
You must hold britain.

311
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,460
The sword is britain.

312
00:34:53,127 --> 00:34:54,330
For aurelius.

313
00:34:54,354 --> 00:34:55,487
For britain.

314
00:36:34,924 --> 00:36:37,423
Hold your formations.

315
00:36:37,447 --> 00:36:39,494
Hold.

316
00:36:45,248 --> 00:36:48,467
Any man who runs, dies.

317
00:36:52,584 --> 00:36:53,667
Hold. Hold.

318
00:36:55,334 --> 00:36:59,782
Hold your formations,
men of britain, please.

319
00:36:59,806 --> 00:37:00,854
Hold.

320
00:37:08,503 --> 00:37:11,061
Hold the line.

321
00:38:39,395 --> 00:38:41,281
Well done, uther.

322
00:39:36,607 --> 00:39:38,857
Belgae, ready yourselves.

323
00:39:42,117 --> 00:39:45,715
Now.

324
00:39:45,739 --> 00:39:46,988
Ya, ya.

325
00:40:01,007 --> 00:40:02,362
Where is he going?

326
00:40:02,386 --> 00:40:07,144
Jesu before us. Jesu behind.

327
00:40:19,928 --> 00:40:21,386
Hold.

328
00:40:23,237 --> 00:40:24,237
Hold.

329
00:40:25,935 --> 00:40:26,935
Uther.

330
00:40:28,953 --> 00:40:30,324
Archers.

331
00:40:33,904 --> 00:40:34,904
Do it.

332
00:40:47,697 --> 00:40:48,870
Now.

333
00:41:21,335 --> 00:41:23,380
Hold the line, hold the line.

334
00:41:23,404 --> 00:41:24,557
Don't go back.

335
00:41:24,581 --> 00:41:25,581
Push.

336
00:41:34,943 --> 00:41:37,951
Go. Take them down.

337
00:41:42,887 --> 00:41:44,785
They are breaking through!

338
00:41:56,648 --> 00:41:57,969
Hold the line.

339
00:42:03,076 --> 00:42:05,105
Push them back, push them back.

340
00:42:19,457 --> 00:42:22,540
Well done, battle chief, well done.

341
00:42:58,945 --> 00:43:00,753
I would urge you to be cautious.

342
00:43:42,237 --> 00:43:44,404
Ygerna, ygerna.

343
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:56,200
Hold the line.

344
00:44:52,170 --> 00:44:53,920
Great light, deliver your people.

345
00:44:55,020 --> 00:44:56,643
Great light, preserve our king.

346
00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:59,680
Great light,

347
00:45:01,996 --> 00:45:04,425
we are lost in unless
we find ourselves in you.

348
00:45:05,937 --> 00:45:07,236
Will your great light save you

349
00:45:07,260 --> 00:45:09,660
if you have the power to
save yourself, my love?

350
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:14,913
Jesu before me. Jesu behind.

351
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,183
Not by my power, jesu, but thine.

352
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,506
Why does the champion
of summer devote himself

353
00:45:22,530 --> 00:45:25,236
to prayer when the battle is before him?

354
00:45:25,260 --> 00:45:28,210
Why does he let others suffer
when his sword arm is strong?

355
00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:35,286
Well, you know suffering, don't you?

356
00:45:38,427 --> 00:45:39,427
Morgian.

357
00:45:42,310 --> 00:45:45,264
At last, my dear nephew.

358
00:45:45,288 --> 00:45:48,980
I'd begun to fear you had lost your wits.

359
00:45:56,194 --> 00:45:57,519
Father.

360
00:46:28,710 --> 00:46:30,310
Why do you not speak, my love?

361
00:46:31,740 --> 00:46:33,756
Does fear bind your tongue?

362
00:46:33,780 --> 00:46:36,180
You are right when you
speak of fear, morgian.

363
00:46:37,650 --> 00:46:39,153
I do fear you full well.

364
00:46:40,230 --> 00:46:42,486
And yet, if not for me,

365
00:46:42,510 --> 00:46:44,310
you would have been killed long ago.

366
00:46:45,150 --> 00:46:46,953
I interceded for you, nephew.

367
00:46:48,180 --> 00:46:50,885
You owe me a debt.
You owe me a father.

368
00:46:56,405 --> 00:46:58,744
Taliesin's death is bitter to me.

369
00:47:01,950 --> 00:47:03,700
My arrow was never meant for him.

370
00:47:05,700 --> 00:47:07,833
Those are the first true
words you've ever spoken.

371
00:47:12,150 --> 00:47:14,706
Charis never spared a thought for me,

372
00:47:14,730 --> 00:47:16,053
savior of her people.

373
00:47:18,450 --> 00:47:20,256
I would've given the
world than everything in it

374
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,043
to have taliesin smile at
me the way he smiled at her,

375
00:47:24,570 --> 00:47:27,270
to have avallach smile at
me the way he smiled at her,

376
00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:31,170
to have anyone smile at me
the way they smiled at her.

377
00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:34,750
But I was young.

378
00:47:35,910 --> 00:47:37,563
Such things mattered to me then.

379
00:47:40,260 --> 00:47:42,486
What matters to you
now, mistress of lies?

380
00:47:42,510 --> 00:47:47,283
You, nephew.

381
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:51,816
Your unreasoning hatred of the old ways,

382
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,963
of your own past and
power, cannot continue.

383
00:47:56,580 --> 00:47:58,230
It will not be tolerated, Merlin.

384
00:48:00,630 --> 00:48:03,216
But it does not have to be this way.

385
00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:04,806
Britain does not have to perish.

386
00:48:04,830 --> 00:48:07,236
The saecsens do not have to prevail.

387
00:48:07,260 --> 00:48:08,741
My god will preserve us.

388
00:48:08,765 --> 00:48:10,713
Your god.

389
00:48:13,110 --> 00:48:16,033
Or your aurelius?

390
00:48:17,502 --> 00:48:21,306
Did you think your juvenile
plan would not be known to us?

391
00:48:21,330 --> 00:48:24,618
Did you think we would not be prepared?

392
00:49:38,122 --> 00:49:41,122
Just as your witch mother foresaw.

393
00:49:49,839 --> 00:49:51,366
Loose the arrows.

394
00:49:51,390 --> 00:49:53,076
My men are down there.

395
00:49:53,100 --> 00:49:54,700
The witch foresaw their deaths.

396
00:49:56,340 --> 00:49:58,095
You will be rewarded.

397
00:50:01,117 --> 00:50:04,942
Today, britain dies.

398
00:50:41,190 --> 00:50:42,440
Great light, uphold us.

399
00:50:44,610 --> 00:50:48,453
The waste of it all, the senselessness.

400
00:50:49,770 --> 00:50:51,186
How many lives must be lost

401
00:50:51,210 --> 00:50:55,056
before you accept the
power you were born to wield?

402
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,330
Great light, uphold it.

403
00:50:57,900 --> 00:50:58,900
Great light.

404
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,293
Great darkness.

405
00:51:02,370 --> 00:51:04,203
What separates day from night?

406
00:51:05,070 --> 00:51:09,585
Only a handful of
hours, turn of the earth.

407
00:51:10,418 --> 00:51:12,108
We are not so different, you and I.

408
00:51:30,834 --> 00:51:32,863
We're overrun.

409
00:51:32,887 --> 00:51:36,692
Tell them to retreat, or we're lost.

410
00:51:42,362 --> 00:51:44,695
You know what you must do.

411
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,380
Why do you falter?

412
00:51:52,194 --> 00:51:54,027
They need you, Merlin.

413
00:51:55,833 --> 00:51:57,363
They need you now.

414
00:52:00,780 --> 00:52:03,452
Feel the power in your arm.

415
00:52:06,330 --> 00:52:08,790
Feel the strong steel in your hand.

416
00:52:15,469 --> 00:52:17,219
Take me up.

417
00:52:24,555 --> 00:52:28,267
Remember what they did to me, my love.

418
00:53:00,561 --> 00:53:01,916
Meurig!

419
00:53:29,593 --> 00:53:31,093
Charis.

420
00:53:46,650 --> 00:53:48,150
Close the ranks!

421
00:53:55,380 --> 00:53:56,680
They are dying, myrddin.

422
00:54:00,420 --> 00:54:01,533
Britain is dying.

423
00:54:03,905 --> 00:54:05,672
The vision of your father is dying.

424
00:54:10,050 --> 00:54:11,703
Your battle chief is dying,

425
00:54:14,202 --> 00:54:15,873
and your king is dead.

426
00:54:17,392 --> 00:54:18,565
Great light, forgive me.

427
00:54:18,589 --> 00:54:22,476
You do not need forgiveness,
just the will to power,

428
00:54:22,500 --> 00:54:24,126
and when you have
vanquished your foes,

429
00:54:24,150 --> 00:54:25,716
we will rule together,

430
00:54:25,740 --> 00:54:28,153
the king and queen of
the kingdom of summer.

431
00:54:28,177 --> 00:54:29,954
Jesu!

432
00:55:20,913 --> 00:55:22,383
I've already been baptized.

433
00:55:23,670 --> 00:55:24,670
I know, my son.

434
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,043
It's been a long time
since you were clean.

435
00:55:36,450 --> 00:55:39,903
Your work is not yet finished, Merlin.

436
00:55:39,927 --> 00:55:42,396
The great darkness we've long feared

437
00:55:42,420 --> 00:55:44,813
has gained a foothold
on the island of the mighty.

438
00:55:54,660 --> 00:55:56,110
You should have let me die.

439
00:56:01,140 --> 00:56:02,553
You sang your life into me.

440
00:56:05,386 --> 00:56:07,186
Would that you had remained instead.

441
00:56:10,890 --> 00:56:11,890
I had my time.

442
00:56:13,740 --> 00:56:14,853
I completed my work.

443
00:56:18,986 --> 00:56:23,403
You, you were my vision, my son.

444
00:56:26,250 --> 00:56:27,250
I have failed.

445
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,170
Then you must start again.

446
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:37,893
You must go back the way you came.

447
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,540
What does that mean?

448
00:56:45,990 --> 00:56:47,483
That is for you to discover.

449
00:56:56,070 --> 00:56:58,733
It's a father's right to
give his son his first shave.

450
00:57:00,060 --> 00:57:02,463
That right was stolen from
me by the one you fear most.

451
00:57:05,700 --> 00:57:06,700
Morgian.

452
00:57:07,913 --> 00:57:11,753
And yet the swift sure hand
has given us this moment

453
00:57:13,110 --> 00:57:14,310
to make right that loss.

454
00:57:42,510 --> 00:57:43,563
Let her go, my son.

455
00:57:46,366 --> 00:57:49,300
Go forth. Meet the day.

456
00:58:02,107 --> 00:58:04,233
It's time for us both to leave this place.

457
00:58:07,290 --> 00:58:10,116
One comes whose
prayers have carried you

458
00:58:10,140 --> 00:58:11,240
further than you know.

459
00:58:12,870 --> 00:58:14,950
We'll dress you in clothes
appropriate to your rank.

460
00:58:16,140 --> 00:58:18,140
I'd rather stay here with you, father.

461
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:23,880
I have ever been with you, Merlin.

462
00:58:26,495 --> 00:58:27,495
Myrddin.

463
00:58:34,324 --> 00:58:35,324
Myrddin.

464
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,470
I am not the king of the
summer kingdom, morgian,

465
00:58:54,990 --> 00:58:57,173
and you are only the
queen of air and darkness.

466
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:07,386
You fool, still clinging
to the promises of a god

467
00:59:07,410 --> 00:59:08,510
who has abandoned you.

468
00:59:10,050 --> 00:59:14,747
We're not abandoned, not yet.

469
00:59:34,449 --> 00:59:36,521
Hengist is dead.

470
00:59:44,170 --> 00:59:45,170
Orcadians.

471
00:59:57,585 --> 00:59:59,918
For britain. For britain.

472
01:00:27,657 --> 01:00:30,453
One battle, one war,

473
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:33,873
men's heart remain unchanged.

474
01:00:37,290 --> 01:00:38,290
And yet...

475
01:00:44,282 --> 01:00:46,623
When I consider what
you must have sacrificed,

476
01:00:49,290 --> 01:00:51,804
only to fail-I sacrificed nothing.

477
01:00:55,980 --> 01:00:58,263
My power comes as
easily as yours, nephew,

478
01:01:02,490 --> 01:01:03,843
and as your father's.

479
01:01:09,804 --> 01:01:14,804
I will see you again, myrddin.

480
01:01:17,357 --> 01:01:19,857
I'll see you again, morgian.

481
01:02:37,850 --> 01:02:39,850
Nice work.

482
01:04:00,150 --> 01:04:01,803
All hail aurelius,

483
01:04:03,570 --> 01:04:06,100
high king and pen dragon of britain.

484
01:04:07,197 --> 01:04:09,596
Aurelius!

485
01:04:53,758 --> 01:04:56,841
King aurelius, ygerna, my daughter.

486
01:05:09,711 --> 01:05:11,128
Is ygerna here?

487
01:05:12,602 --> 01:05:13,985
Ygerna.

488
01:05:35,596 --> 01:05:36,596
Uther.

489
01:05:37,451 --> 01:05:38,681
It's you.

490
01:05:38,705 --> 01:05:40,393
What you said. Uther!

491
01:05:42,792 --> 01:05:43,875
Master.

492
01:05:46,334 --> 01:05:48,880
Great light, we are not equal to this fight.

493
01:05:48,904 --> 01:05:52,476
Myrddin, what is it?
What have you seen?

494
01:05:52,500 --> 01:05:54,249
Our doom.

495
01:06:03,079 --> 01:06:04,955
We all have the right.
We're kings of britain.

496
01:06:04,979 --> 01:06:06,931
Shut up. This is executive council.

497
01:06:06,955 --> 01:06:08,589
