All language subtitles for Dawn of the Dragonslayer.2011

Balance, Will.
Feet a shoulder width apart.

When you move, you slide.
Never step.

Sword up.
Elbows in.

That's the middle position.

Now close me down.

Remember, Will, a knight has honor.

- Very few others do.
- I almost had you.

Almost is another word for dead, boy.

I'll check the traps.
You move the sheep to the south fields.

I saw some soap flower on the south ridge.
Maybe Crow will have something to kill it.

We need a nice heavy shearing to make it through
the winter, to keep this place going.

- Drink that twice a day to take away the pain.
- Ta, Crow.

The wool is buggered for sure.
There's bloody soap flower everywhere.

- Hello, Crow.
- Evening, boy.

Haven't got ought for that
soap flower, have you?

I'd be a wealthy man if I had.

Maybe the secret is in you, Will.

Not much good at enchantments when
you can't keep the sheep's wool growing.

We'll just have to see how bad it get's.

Come shearing there won't be
enough wool to knit a pair of socks.

We'll just have to slaughter.

There's something else:
Down by the river there are four sheep.

Torn up something dreadful.

Dog's again most likely.

- It's time you got off this mountain, Will.
- What?

There's nothing for you up here.

You've a gift
I won't have you waste it as a farmer.

There's a great man who goes by
the name of Sterling. Take this to him.

- A low lander?
- Take him that.

He'll take you on as a bondsman.

He's a Baron.

We all lost something in the
plague, him more than most.

He's a clever man and he'll win favor
with the new king.

He'll raise you up with him.

It's a future, Will, if you're
smart enough to see it.

I'll carve my own future out right up
here on these rock like you and Crow.

I am your father and you're a boy and that's...

- Will!
- Leave him be, Tom.

He's got some pride in him, same as you.

Surprised it took you so long.

Some things are better left
to the ones who come after.

Will, get into the north field
and check those traps.

Did you hear what I said?

Da!

There's a half dozen more missing.

I don't think it's wolves, too big.

Bear, maybe.

A dragon.

There hasn't been a dragon in
these parts for thirty years.

That's bad luck turned worse.
That's us and our whole province finished.

In a month there will hardly
be an animal left alive.

- Dragon means a nest.
- Aye, within a 100 leagues of here.

- She didn't eat all these sheep, just killed them.
- So?

Which means it was territorial.
There must be a nest near here.

Dragon egg's are worth a 1000 gold a piece.

- How you so sure it's a she?
- There's only way to find out.

No, we need to hole up, take
care of what's left of the herd.

We can't fight it but we can track it.
Watch the nest and then

sneak in when it leaves to kill
some more of our bloody, useless sheep.

1000 gold will set us up for life.

You, you're mother's son, alright.

God help me.

That's where I'd be If I could fly.

Look at this!

Reckon, this is his home. Close to it.

But without wings I don't see a way up there.

That's because you're getting old!

A distinction I earned by not climbing cliffs.

Now you are going to die wondering.

No!

Troubles worse than you let on.

- You'll have to sell for sure.
- Not selling.

I'm going to find that dragon, Crow.

Tomorrow, I'm going back. I'm going to
find that nest and I'm going to kill it.

Are you deaf? Man
can't kill a dragon.

Superstition. It's an animal, isn't it?

Tomorrow, you will pack your things and you
will start your bonding for Sterling.

No.

Your time up here is over.

Train as a bondsman. Rise as a knight.

Respect your father's wishes.

A warrior garment.
Passed down through my order.

I'm the last now and
I have no need of battle.

Infused by prayers
to a thousand Gods.

If a man wears it in faith,
he will find protection in it.

I know you are not one to
hold stock in such things.

Remember, you're mountain folk.

There is a power in us.

Thank you, Crow.

Pardon.

I say pardon.

What's the mather ya jike?
Did your sheep run off?

They was getting over worked.

I'm bound for the Baron Sterling's manor.

About four leagues on,
on the left.

I wouldn't bother, mate. He's not hiring.

Especially the likes of you.

Much obliged. I'll leave you
scullions to your chores, then.

Get back over your mountain you dirty jike.

My dog had your mother
twelve times last week.

The dog said you were better.

Hang on.

What are you doing?

Your pardon, miss. There is
just a bit of trick to it.

Should have guessed you were a
conjurer from your handy work.

I am no such thing. Impertinent scab!

I hope you are not expecting to be paid,
there's no work here. Best be on your way

Not looking for pay but maybe you can
help a traveller find his whereabouts.

- Where are you headed?
- Sterling Manor.

- Then you're going the wrong way.
- What?

There's a fork in the road two
leagues back, should have headed west.

What? Those lying...

- Obliged for your help, boy.
- I'm not your boy.

You get lost, mountain man?

- Where might I find Sterling?
- I'll see to your business.

I can see to my own business
and my business is with Sterling.

He's in his rooms, there ain't
no house servants to see you.

These days no live ones.
Master's too dirt poor for live ones now.

Careful though, the last hill folk
he saw squatting on his land

He drove them off with a whip.

Master don't like jikes.

That's not fit work for a women
grubbing about like a peasant.

If not me, then who father, who?

The men are all dead
or turned thieves and run off.

There's a wonder there's a chair left to sit on.

Sam and the others
are busy in the fields.

This is my land too, I will
not allow it to go to ruin.

I had hoped the sisters would
teach you to act like a lady.

- A lady?
- An obvious waste of time and money.

Tell me who would wive such a she-devil?

What would you gain after I've gone?
Do you think you can run this place, by yourself?

The king is looking to have his coffers filled.

Your throat will be cut within a week. This
land with no heir will be forfeit to the crown.

I do not need a man telling me what to do.

- Lord Sterling?
- How did you get in here?

Father, this is the man I was telling you about.

We don't need any men. Get out!

Go to the stable ask Sam to share some supper.

You can sleep in the stable tonight
but then you will have to go.

My name is Will Shepherd, sir.
I've come to train as your bondsman.

I don't train bondsman, now be off with you.

I brought this.

Kate, leave us.

I'll just go see to my
embroidery then, shall I, father?

Shepherd, eh?

- Do you know the contents of this?
- No, sir.

Mountain boy, huh.
Are you a conjurer?

- No, sir.
- I'll have no conjuring in this house.

- Do I make myself clear?
- Yes, sir.

- Can you ride a horse?
- Aye.

- Useful type, eh?
- I try to be.

At least with walls.

Well, you can stay for now.

Find Sam he'll put you to work in the morning.

Thank you, sir.

Here we go. One, two...

Well, still lost, boy?

- Pig pen's around back.
- Could have fooled me.

Sterling said you'd find me
a mattress and some work in the morning.

Well, that's a shame see.

These two don't like jikes.

I reckon you'd be better off
finding some place else to sleep.

I'll take that one.

- Didn't you here what I said, boy?
- Let it be, Sam.

Save something for tomorrow.

Go on dig that dirt, boy!

What are you doing here?

I was!

Bring me that!
Don't look at me, look over there.

- You were watching me.
- I was handing you a shirt.

- No, before that.
- No.

Well... yes. No.

I didn't know you were going to
be in there fresher than a new born baby.

Oh, my father's favorite shirt.

Well, don't just stand there.

So, you're here to be a
bondsman to my father?

- Yeah.
- Well, where are your people?

Dead.

My ma died when I was wee
and my dad died not long ago.

Oh sorry. How?

Dragon.

I didn't think there were any left.

- You assumed I was a conjurer, why?
- Your ring.

I've seen that symbol before
on all kinds of devilry.

- Enchantments your peoples speciality?
- Not mine.

What did it say in the letter
you gave to my father?

- It wasn't for me.
- Of course.

My father needs farmers not bondsman.

I doubt he'll train you in anything
but ploughing and insubordination.

Why is there a fire in the front hall?
Who could father be expecting?

- I didn't come here to be a farmer.
- Take up the basket will you?

- How far have you come today?
- It's been a few hundred miles.

- and you had a good trip?
- Yes. Very good.

- You have a new horse?
- Yes, you have to see it, it's a fine breed.

Rogan, lovely to see you.

And likewise.

My, my how you've blossomed.

Lord Sterling, your daughter has
become a magnificent peach

Ripe for the plucking.

I'll take that at it's most
chaste and thank you for it.

- You're too kind.
- I probably am.

Incidentally your timing is impeccable.

My cousin, Lady Spriggs is
coming tonight, she's a widow

- You remember the old bat, don't you?
- Father!

Why is it when a man states a simple truth

it always ends up with a violent protest?

Eleanor will be thrilled to see you.

It might take a little of her attention off me.

And how are things at Sterling Manor?

Oh, we're getting by, expanding
into the other fields once more.

Expanding the weed's you mean.

Your visitors aren't blind, Robert.
This place is in ruins.

We're managing.

Now that King Owen occupies the throne, we'll
soon be restored into the grace of the crown.

Tell me, Sir Rogan, are you still
a champion at the game?

Modesty aside, Lady, I've yet to
find a sparring partner equal.

How the ladies must swoon.

Tell me, what is the game
of choice at court today?

The new King favors two challengers,

bound together by rope or chain.

The first one to fall loses.

I have yet to be defeated.

Marvelous. It's a pity
your sparring day are over, Sterling.

I would certainly love to see that.

I'm sure a man of the Baron's elegant maturity
may have far more ambitious distractions.

What brings you to our humble lands, Rogan?

An invitation.

I wish for you to join me at the
Council of the Knights.

A crop in the high country was found burned.

The family left strewn for league or more.

It seems we have a dragon hunting in our lands.

- Terrible.
- Rubbish. Probably wolves.

I was told to see to the fire.

The hill folk are always scheming
up lies to keep honest folks pockets empty.

Your prejudices paint the picture, Robert.

I will say, this fortnight past

I imagined a terrible cry
that awoke me from my sleep.

I went to the window,
but there was nothing.

Exactly.
You imagined.

And now hearing the muttering of nonsense your

infected and imagining the evidence of nothing.

Nonetheless, I will come to stay with Kate,
while you're at Council.

Will saw it.

- Saw what, dear?
- The dragon.

- Nonsense.
- I believe he tells the truth, father.

Tell him, Will.

- Well?
- I did, sir.

Sure of it.

The Council will decide the fate of this brute.

Most will favor waiting it out, I dare say.

Cowards. Myth has exaggerated it's size no doubt.

It's at least 40 feet long,
wings twice that again.

If you're to decide whats to
be done, why not take the boy?

He obviously got a good look at it.

- How far were you?
- Close, M'lady.

No one comes close to
a dragon without dying.

Unless of course they
slay the beast themselves.

- Do you claim that?
- No, sir.

But I will.

Dragons are slain by Paladin's in myths.

Do you walk through fire too, boy?

No, sir.

You'll surely be knighted
should we slay the beast.

More than that, you'll probably be the
most celebrated man in the kingdom.

A Paladin in the flesh.

But for now we may have found
you an opponent, hey Rogan.

- Sorry?
- For a demonstration at the sparring.

He's a boy, M'lady, and
an untrained one at that.

But a strong one. I have a sense
for these things. I can smell and upset.

Madam, you insult me.

A mark on the lad.

You're a vicious lady.

I accept.

Keep it simple and try
not to get yourself hurt, lad.

I presume these battles
take a little longer at court.

- Satisfied?
- Not by a long shot it was his first try.

Double or nothing.

More punishment, lad?

Smaller of my people call when
it comes from a prancing tit.

You mind your tongue
before your betters, boy.

No, no. I like a bit of spirit.

Gives me something to quash.

Thank you,
for being such a lucrative opponent.

Don't be ungrateful, boy
Show your appreciation.

My lord. I'm sorry
to have disappointed.

That was great fun. Let's resume indoors
Well done, Rogan. Come on.

Your new boy amuses me.

His notion to kill the dragon
is certainly compelling.

With some steal and ingenuity, a few
brave men could slay a dragon.

That's very modern.
You and I are like minded, Sterling.

You'll be welcome ally at the Council.

Your daughter is truly
a lovely young lady.

I am in the market for a wife, Sterling.

- What say you?
- That is very generous, Baron.

But I am poor man.
She has no dowry to offer you.

If I wanted gold, I would marry
some money changers daughter.

Give me your western lands as a dowry.
They sit empty anyway.

Then bequeath the rest to me upon your death.

Your daughter will have a favorable match

and I will assure the crowns
favor smiles upon you.

It's a fine offer, Rogan.

I could only consider my north/west holdings,
the south are deeded to another.

To whom?

The boy. Will Shepherd.

- He doesn't know it yet though.
- A bastard?

No. Nothing like that.

It's and old, old arrangement.

Well, if he doesn't know
and no one else does...

Don't tell him.
I certainly won't.

You have to, Sterling.
That's unlike you.

I didn't know punching was allowed
in your rope and sword sparring.

I adapted, he didn't.

Do we have an understanding?

You can sell me as much as you want.

I don't think you will find
it so easy to convince her.

You're too lenient on her, Sterling.

I'm sure no daughter would refuse
a gentle word from her father.

Lady Spriggs asked me to say
that Rogan can be an ass,

but that his coin will spend all the same.

I brought some dried meats to pack and this.

My fathers livery.

All these things have been put away for so long.
Took me awhile to find them

but here they are.

Gold for ambition
and marine for patience.

I'm afraid I don't have much of the latter

But there you are, my father's colors.

I thought as his bondsman you might
want to add them to the Council.

Try them on.

There, very handsome.

- Thank...
- I just...

I have so many other things to prepare.

Hey, boys!

Here's the champion.

You sure showed him his ass today, eh Willy.

Hey. What's this?

Better get some sleep, lads.
Master wants us up early in the morning.

Of course, you won't be coming.

Master wants you to stay here.

Tend the manure.
It's a pity though.

Maybe you could have even showed us some
of those fancy sword moves of yours, eh.

Don't forget to feed the pigs, boy.

- Oh, and then there's the laundry.
- Where is it?

- What?
- My dagger.

I don't know what you're talking about.

And I'm a tich annoyed you
might be calling me a thief?

If I was going to call you
something it would be worse than that.

Maybe you should ask your little lady.

Now there's a job for a man.
Not a boy like you.

There's nothing I like more
than getting my hands wet.

Doing a nice bit of that sweaty laundry.

Right, lads.

It's about time we
taught this jike a lesson.

Come here. Come on.

Not in the face,
Never in the face.

Master, wants us to get along.

Come on.

You're still here.

Apparently, so.

Here you are.

Well, as long as you are here, perhaps you
could look at cleaning out the dove court.

It's about time we thought about
getting some birds back in there.

No.

Oh, I see.

Yes, of course.

My father has just gone,
his breakfast bowl not even cooled

and now a woman is in charge so you
must sit down to sleep the day away.

Well, I'll tell you this:
this place is going to survive

even if I have to scratch through
every finger to make it happen.

I was talking about the ale,
but now that you say it.

You can clean your own bird shite,
I'm going home.

What happened to you?

I came down here because your
father made a promise to my father.

I was to learn something of your ways
and make something of myself.

Well, the only thing I've made of
myself is to be a shite shoveler.

And the only thing I've learned is that promises
between people like you and people like me,

don't mean a damn thing.

Come with me.

This sword has been
in my family for over 400 years.

We hid it during the looting.

One night, one of our servants
found it and tried to steal it.

My father beat the man so hard,
I thought his skull would crack.

I've never been
allowed to touch this.

Magnificent.

My father would kill us
both if he witnessed this.

But what I really wanted to show you was this.

I used to sneak and look at the beautiful pages.

Drawings of brave men
and beautiful maids.

And of course inside, its words tell

what is required of a knight.

Don't you see?

We can study
while my father is away.

You'll learn to become a warrior. Father
will recognize your skill and respect you for it.

He'll honor his obligation
and you'll become a knight.

We?

- Do you speak and read the old tongue?
- No.

Well, I do. That's why I said "we".

Come to the glade tonight after sunset.

There's something I want to show you.

I wanted to show you this.

It's the only place it's vulnerable.
It's the only way to kill it.

Just plunge a sword straight through a
torrent of fire into the dragons mouth.

Simple.

Just listen.

One day a traveller came by the
convent and traded this for food.

No one cared about it so
one of the acolytes gave it to me.

- What's in it?
- Words.

About what's inside of us and
the power of things around us.

You mean devilry.

Gifts, Will.
Like the gifts of the paladin.

Paladin? There's no such thing.

See these?
They're symbols.

Those symbols are also
found in the pages of this book.

The paladin are real, Will.

Mystic warriors who honored their Gods.

If their hearts were true, they were
blessed in battle with incredible strength.

I thought you weren't a conjurer.

You're not listening, Will.

Everyone must find their gift.

Some may have the gift of seeing the future.

Some the gift of understanding men's hearts.

Some may have the gift of charming animals.

Very few have all gifts.
But all have one.

The Paladin were Knights
with the gift of belief

the faith to walk into fire unscathed.

No point in to looking into what's not there.

Here.

Relax.

Now, stretch out your hands.

It's small at first.
A pin prick in the darkness.

It grows beating with your heart.

I can't feel it.

Let it wash over you.

Let it grip you until it fills your
heart and will leap from your chest.

Now, you can release it
slowly like a breath of air.

or as a burst.

And that's a little bit of devilry.

Good night.

- Will? What's happening?
- Stay inside!

What's that sound?
Will, what's going on?

Will!

What are you doing, Will?

What was that?

Will... No. Don't go!

Will, please! Listen to me.

Come on!

I'm here! Come on!

What happened?

Kate, what happened?

You were almost roasted
like a yuletide hog.

- You stupid boy.
- That dragon killed my father.

You're going to wish it had killed you.

Well, you have a hero's heart.

Now, let's hope you acquire enough
sense to protect you from it.

What's wrong with her? Is she hurt?

Burnt while saving your life.

Seems my niece is a bit of a conjurer.

She deflected the worst of the blast from you,

couldn't avoid it all together herself.

- She's a remarkable girl.
- You won't tell Sterling will you.

Will, how are my heifers?

Well rutted, I hope.

- You're back, sir.
- Indeed.

Waste of time, nothing but politics, boy..

All talk and posturing with no purpose.

On the other hand I did win a fine stallion
from Mordon in a game of dice.

He's five leagues south of here. Be a good
lad now, go and collect that horse.

Yes, sir.

Kate! Kate!

There's talk of opening a market in Shelton.

It's time to restore the family.
Come.

Father, there's something I need to tell you.

Father, I wanted...

I've been teaching.

Father, I'm sorry.

- He had no choice...
- How did he know of this?

- The dragon was here at the castle, Will...
- You told him.

Yes.

He's very brave father.

Half your sword is still buried
deep in the side of that creature.

You're a slut.

Just like your mother.

Eight generations of my father's
held this sword with honor.

That boy is finished here.

And as for you...

I'm done dealing with your
deceit and disobedience.

You're somebody else's problem now.

- What?
- Rogan wants you to wife.

He wants to tame you.
Let him try.

No.

Robert!

All these years I thought it was

the plague that killed Maurelle.

I think you killed her in your own way.

With your jealousy and your rage.

Wake up, lad.

- Crow, what are you doing here?
- I saw something in the fire.

Sterling's daughter is out here.
She's run off.

- Where is she?
- Not sure.

I'll head south then turn
east for the Corange.

I'll meet you at Mealdon Ford by sundown.

Wake up. Wake up.
Kate's missing.

Kate!

Kate!

Kate!

Kate!

Kate!

Kate!

Will! Will, I'm over here!

He'll be out looking for you.

He won't find me.

- Then I'll have to find him.
- What?

He'll be sick searching for you.

He's your father and my master.

We owe him that.

Do you not hear what
I've been saying to you?

My father hates you.
He'll marry me to Rogan

right after he runs you through
with what's left of his sword.

- The pigs will miss me.
- Damn the pigs, Will!

He'll be looking for you for sure.

And eventually he'll find you.

When he does what will there be?

It doesn't matter.

As long as we have each other.

I want to take care of you, Kate.

I have no way of looking after you.

No land, no prospects.

I'm in love with you, Kate.

My body aches for you in a heat
that's likely to burn us both up.

But I won't have you like this.
I won't run.

I have to take you home.

Oh, my dear.
Thank the Gods, you're alive.

I came as soon as I heard.
Let's get you inside.

Get that horse taken care of, boy.

It's a hard ride carrying two.

You brought my daughter home
and I'm indebted to you.

After I've washed and greeted Kate

I'd like you to come up to the house.
Time we had that talk.

I think it's time we started your
bondsman training. What say you?

Past time I'd say, sir.

You've proved an excellent lad
so far, perhaps a little bold.

This...

This document you carried so safely,

it's a deed of land.

I gave it to your father many years
ago but he saw fit not use it.

It is now your land.

Or when ever you choose to claim it.

So, you're a knight and a landed man.

Your future is bright indeed, son.

I'll take what's mine now.

Did Kate tell you that she is to be married?
To Rogan.

- She doesn't love him.
- You assume an intimate knowledge of her heart?

Rogan is a powerful man and becoming
more so, he can ensure her future.

- Hers and in turn yours.
- By ensuring your own.

She doesn't love him and I've
come to ask for her hand.

You think you're man
enough for her?

How long do you think you can hold
onto these lands without my favor?

Every baron in the country
is sniffing at my blood.

- The wolves are already beginning to circle...
- I'll take her to my home.

It will be hard but we'll find away.
She's not afraid of work and I love her.

Love?
How long do you think her love will last,

if she's cleaning pig shite from
under her finger nails, everyday?

She has a life of wealth and privilege ahead of
her and you'd snatch that away from her?

That's not love.
You're too far beneath her boy.

As mother was beneath you?

- Kate, go back to your room.
- You drove her out didn't you?

Who told you that? Spriggs?
Kate go back to your room!

You never could control
your temper, Robert.

It's how all this began isn't it?

Your mother Maurelle was betrothed to
Will's father. Did you know that?

- You shut your mouth, you old witch.
- A rare woman.

She wasn't the prettiest that
caught Sterling's eye

but then she possessed an
enchantment deeper than beauty.

Sterling was smitten.
He ignored her betrothal.

Dazzling her with his wealth and position.

Finally she gave in.

- Tom was left heart broken.
- Stop this.

As a wedding present Sterling gave
your mother a deed of land.

Guilt ridden because of her betrayal,
she signed the deed to Tom.

Sterling was suspicious.

His jealousy and rage
turned into a craze.

The more he tried to control her,
the more distant she became.

Finally Maurelle fled.

She found Tom
and begged his forgiveness.

But by this time
Tom had a wife.

And a baby on the way: Will.

Heart broken she returned to
the house of her parents.

Only to discover she was pregnant.

Carrying the child of the man she'd fled.

Eventually he did find her,
but it was too late.

The plague had taken her.

Sterling went mad with grief.

But then a conjurer from
the mountains brought you to him.

His newborn daughter.

Sterling's madness broke
and he brought you home.

I don't want this.

You're as simple minded
as your father.

But, Will, I thought... Will!

It was time for the truth, Robert.

Will!

Listen to me, please.

Let's run away from here.

Now. We'll go to the mountain
and make a start for ourselves.

I know how that story ends, Kate.
Its played out once already.

- What are you saying?
- Your father is right.

No.

It's a hard life. If I took you,
I'd be taking a better one from you.

No, no, no.
I won't listen to this.

Now, I am leaving without you, Kate.

Let go of me.

Let go!

Coward!

This land has been forfeited
by William and passes on to Kate,

on account of it having
belonged to her mother.

You marry Kate and it's yours.

Her land, my land. Everything.

But I will expect an invitation to court.

- You'll need a gift to present.
- We're going to give him a dragon.

I don't care how, just make sure
it looks like the boys doing.

It's okay.

Careful staring into a fire,
a man could start seeing things.

You're always sneaking up to me, old man.

- How did you find me?
- I was staring in the fire.

But I figured I'd find you on this road.

A wounded animal always
goes back to its own home.

I can't go home now, I know that.

I suppose there ain't any point
in asking you what happened?

Dragon's back.

I reckon it's nesting
somewhere on the coast.

I've been looking after your sheep.
Well, what's left of them.

Seems the dragon has a taste for them,
soap flower and all.

They're your sheep now, Crow.
I gave them to you.

Why didn't you ever tell me
about Baron Sterling's wife?

Because it was your dad's
business, and Sterling's.

Not yours, not mine for that matter.

There's been other talk.
Seems Sterling prized stallion's gone missing.

There's men out looking for you.
They say you stole it.

I don't know anything
about his damn horse.

Probably set it loose himself,
so they have an excuse to kill me.

I met Sterling.
I bet he'd kill you without one.

Say what you're going
to say to me, old man.

I think you ought a go
down there and face him.

There's no reason to.
Every man's got his limits.

I thought the reason had a pair of
green eyes and couldn't mend fences.

Not by herself at least ways.

You're a clever lass. You'll see the
sense of my decision in time.

Now, see me off like a dutiful daughter.

The men are anxious Sterling
and I don't like waiting.

Careful, Rogan.

- The girls not yours yet.
- Isn't she?

I'm skeptical about our chances, Sterling.

Those old stories of enchantment
and witchery are nonsense.

Dragons are not magical anymore
than the men who vanquish them.

They can be slaughtered
like any other beast.

We'll do it now, like they did it then.

We'll rope it, tie its head down
and carve the bastards tongue out.

- Are the horses ready?
- Yes, my lord.

To the hunt.

For luck, M'lady and for the
promises of pleasures to come.

You go too far, sir.

Not by a long shot.

I'm here to see Sterling about his horse.

He's not here.
Won't be for sometime.

Kate walked down toward the woods.

- I come for Sterling.
- Pity.

You're only here about the horse are ya?

It was found next to the labourer, Sam.
Or what's left of him.

So you're free to leave.

- What happened to him?
- It was the dragon.

Sterling's gone on the hunt.

He's determined to kill the beast

and win back his fortune and glory.

A gamble to be sure,

but I think the risk warrants
the prize. Don't you?

I'm going to need a sword.

And a horse, I dare say.

It was my grandfather's,
but you strike me as a similar size.

- Kneel before me, son.
- What?

The luxury of my title.

I'm endowed to choose
my own warriors. Kneel.

Pursue all righteous things with courage.

God grant you the wisdom to believe in him.

Arise a knight.

I was fond of this sword.

Be a good boy,
bring me back the broken piece.

Kate!

Kate!

Smells like we're close.

- Kate, there you are.
- Is Will Here?

He was but he's gone on the hunt.

- Where are you going?
- To saddle a horse.

Honestly, Kate. Getting
yourself killed solves nothing.

I'm sure Rogan would
still happily marry a corpse.

Crow! Crow!

- What is it, lad?
- I'm going to need those sheep back after all.

- I'll need paying for them.
- I need this jar too.

Wait, let me get some.
Let me get something.

No time.

- You better make it count.
- I intend to.

Tether the horses.
We'll go ahead on foot.

This will do, men.
Set the bait, make ready.

What's he doing here?

This place is no good.
There's no cover.

You have to cage the beast
you'll be roasted like pigs.

- Don't tell me my business, boy.
- We have visibility, there will be no surprises.

This spot is perfect.

You're making a mistake, Sterling,
I've faced this thing.

And how did that work out for you?
You lost a sword worth twice what you are

and were rescued by a woman.

If you are afraid, go back to the stein.

You'll die for nothing.

Wait.

I found this in a pile of ash.

Yours.

- Good luck.
- You, too.

Kate! Kate, get back!

Kate, get back!

- Father.
- I'm alright.

Leave me, leave this place.

- Where's Will?
- Run off like a craven coward.

Here it comes.

Father... father.

Witchcraft.

It was you who brought this on us.

What?

Your father said you'd take taming.

I won't be tamed.
Not by you or anyone.

You'd spurn me and
settle for a peasant boy?

We shall see.

Come on!

Come on!

- What are you doing?
- You'll get the idea.

Dragon's down there
we can kill it together.

I'm not after the dragon, boy.
You on the other hand are proving a nuisance.

I thought it was mild infatuation.

But now it's clear to me that the girl intends
to run away with you. That I just cannot abide.

What does it say that she'd
take a farmer over you?

You got quite a pair on you, lad.
I'll give you that.

My dogs will feast well tonight.

This is so much more
personal than a sword.

Careful, woman.

God, that stuff stinks.

Don't put any more on.

Could you hand me
another bandage, dear?

Will.

It's Will.

You're lucky Crow brought it.

- I've come to take you home.
- Home?

A thousand gold a piece.

What's going on out there?

Nothing you can do anything about, Robert.

Where is Lady Spriggs?

Inside, I think. Why?

I got a piece of her sword
that was hard to get to.
