00:03:20Where is Lancelot? Where is that Frenchman?
00:03:23Was he not called?
00:03:24Please, sire, I have just passed his chamber,
00:03:26and I fear he is stricken with some terrible plague.
00:03:29Come, defend us.
00:03:30For the love of God, speak up, Gawain.
00:03:32What do you mean?
00:03:33Sire, I saw him standing stripped to the buff
00:03:35in a stone basin, scrubbing himself madly
00:03:37as though to wash it all away.
00:03:40Wash what away? Get to the point.
00:03:42The plague, sire.
00:03:44He was covered with a vile whitish foam,
00:03:47like the sweaty lather of a hard-ridden horse.
00:03:50I dared not speak to him, but hurried here to tell you all.
00:03:53Perhaps my lord Merlin knows the ailment
00:03:55and has some sovereign remedy.
00:03:57Oh, sir, Lancelot is my friend.
00:04:00Hold.
00:04:01Stand back, Lancelot. Come no nearer.
00:04:04Sire, I do not understand.
00:04:06What in the name of heaven...
00:04:08I saw you in the grips of some terrible malady.
00:04:11White foamy stuff was coming out of your skin.
00:04:15I thought you had the plague, but...
00:04:18The plague!
00:04:20You're part, old sire, but what Gawain saw
00:04:23was the plague.
00:04:26You're part, old sire, but what Gawain saw
00:04:29was only the foam from a new substance,
00:04:31good which that Merlin gave me,
00:04:33to add in bathing and shaving.
00:04:36A formula from the Orient,
00:04:38brought to me by a friar from Saxony.
00:04:40It is called soap, from the Latin sapo.
00:04:43If it be a plague, I hope it spreads
00:04:45among all the unwashed in Britain.
00:04:49What a dainty court we shall have.
00:04:52The ladies all like sweet little roses,
00:04:54the men all bright and shining like our dear Lancelot.
00:04:58Your Majesty, I have a rhyme.
00:05:01To Lancelot, the fragrant knight of Camelot.
00:05:07He meets his foes and smites them prone
00:05:10with nothing but his scent alone.
00:05:19Henrik, set out another bowl and tankard.
00:05:24As by now you all know,
00:05:26a messenger knight has arrived
00:05:28from King Leodegran of Camelia.
00:05:31I see by your faces,
00:05:33you already know what is in my heart.
00:05:35Yes, I asked Leodegran
00:05:38for the hand of his daughter Guinevere
00:05:41in a marriage that would unite our kingdoms
00:05:44in love and brotherhood.
00:05:46Those of you who have seen her
00:05:48can understand my passion and dreams.
00:05:51So, I wish to receive his knight at our table round
00:05:54to break bread with us
00:05:56and to show him the full measure of our hospitality.
00:05:59Your Majesty,
00:06:01here is a messenger knight from Camelia.
00:06:04Sir... What's the name?
00:06:07Sir Tawes.
00:06:08Sir Borge.
00:06:09Name is Tawes.
00:06:10Sir, name is Tawes.
00:06:11You may approach, Sir Tawes,
00:06:13to kiss our hand and join us at our board
00:06:15as the honored messenger of a noble king.
00:06:18My kingly master ordered me not to kneel
00:06:20until the matter is settled.
00:06:21He disputes your claim to royalty,
00:06:23doubts that you are King Uther's son
00:06:25and Britain's rightful lord.
00:06:27What?
00:06:28What?
00:06:32My Grandsire!
00:06:33It is a mere boy in man's armor
00:06:35obeying his liege lord.
00:06:39Lancelot is right.
00:06:41Let him be and give him food and drink.
00:06:45My master did not forbid me to eat and drink.
00:06:47I thank you, my lord.
00:06:49Here is the scroll.
00:06:51We will read your discourteous master's words
00:06:54and bear you no ill will.
00:06:58Read it aloud so that all may hear.
00:07:01Yes, sir.
00:07:04Arturo Assassin,
00:07:06King of Camelia,
00:07:08Read it aloud so that all may hear.
00:07:10Yes, sir.
00:07:16In English, Lancelot.
00:07:18For the benefit of those who have no Latin.
00:07:21Yes, sir.
00:07:23He says that after receiving his message
00:07:27you will undoubtedly consider the matter
00:07:29of going to war with him,
00:07:31but suggests that rather than kill off
00:07:35hundreds of good men on both sides,
00:07:37he proposes to settle both questions,
00:07:40your right to England's throne
00:07:42and your request for his daughters and in marriage
00:07:45by the honored method of trial by combat.
00:07:48Let's hear him out.
00:07:52Let your chosen champion
00:07:54return with my messenger knight,
00:07:57he says, accompanied only by his squire and grooms.
00:08:02We will treat him fairly
00:08:04and match him in the list with our own Sir Dorjach.
00:08:08Dorjach!
00:08:09A man to reckon with, sire.
00:08:10A champion. True enough, young Dorjach.
00:08:12He fought valiantly against the Huns.
00:08:13We never met him,
00:08:14but all of us were anxious to try him out.
00:08:16Read on, Lancelot.
00:08:17Is this trial to bid to the death
00:08:19or a mere unhorsing?
00:08:21To the death, sire, from his wording.
00:08:23The other guy says,
00:08:24should our own knight survive,
00:08:28he will send him back to you
00:08:30with his scepter and his daughter
00:08:32as tokens of his fealty and devotion
00:08:34to our unified cause.
00:08:36Sire, if it please your majesty.
00:08:46Rise, Sir Lancelot.
00:08:48My champion.
00:09:02My champion.
00:09:32Your charger is ready, Sir Knight.
00:09:50I've made sure of every strap.
00:09:51My thanks, Sir Tawes.
00:09:53It is the least I can do as your official second.
00:09:55Have you chosen which weapon to carry on your person?
00:09:57The axe.
00:09:58A drink before we helmet you.
00:10:00No thanks, but who will tank it for me
00:10:03to the thirsty work in the sun?
00:10:05Would I be disloyal to my king
00:10:07to say I hope you live to drink it?
00:10:09God willing, we'll down it together.
00:10:12Take him to the mounting stand.
00:10:17Look, it begins.
00:10:30Pursuant to a challenge given by the King of England,
00:10:33I hereby pronounce you husband and wife.
00:10:35You may kiss the bride.
00:10:37You may kiss the bride.
00:10:38You may kiss the bride.
00:10:39You may kiss the bride.
00:10:40You may kiss the bride.
00:10:41You may kiss the bride.
00:10:42You may kiss the bride.

00:10:45You may kiss the bride.

00:10:56You may kiss the bride.
00:10:57You may kiss the bride.
00:10:58You may kiss the bride.
00:10:59On account of a challenge given and accepted,
00:11:02Sir Dorisach, Knight of Camelliard,
00:11:05and Sir Lancelot, Knight of Camelot,
00:11:08will assay in a trial by combat
00:11:11to determine certain matters of controversy
00:11:14between His Gracious Majesty, Leodegren,
00:11:17King of Camelliard,
00:11:19and one Arthur,
00:11:21calling himself King of all Britain.
00:11:24The combat shall be to the death,
00:11:27with all weapons of war,
00:11:29sharpened lance, great sword,
00:11:32battle axe, and mace.
00:11:43Sir Dorisach, well you know what we have at stake in this ordeal.
00:11:47Our sovereignty as well as my beloved daughter.
00:11:50Spare no effort nor cunning ruse in this encounter.
00:11:53No man has ever unhorsed me, Your Majesty,
00:11:56nor shall this Sir Lancelot.
00:11:58We pray it shall be so.
00:12:20Luck to you, sir.
00:12:22Perhaps I shouldn't have said that.
00:12:24I am loyal to my king.
00:12:26I have no doubt of that.
00:12:28Loyalty is proven more by action than by words.
00:12:54Ho! Ho! Ho!
00:13:24Ho!
00:13:29Ho!
00:13:36Ho!
00:13:47Now, Dorisach, go!
00:13:55Ho!
00:14:01Ho!
00:14:02Ho!
00:14:24Ho!
00:14:26Ho!
00:14:29Ho!
00:14:34Ho!
00:14:36Ho!
00:14:38Now, Dorisach, now!
00:14:43Ho!
00:14:45Ho!
00:14:51Ho!
00:14:52Ho!
00:14:54Ho!
00:14:57Ho!
00:14:59Ho!
00:15:01Ho!
00:15:03Ho!
00:15:19Ho!
00:15:23Ho!
00:15:25Ho!
00:15:27Ho!
00:15:29Ho!
00:15:31Ho!
00:15:33Ho!
00:15:35Ho!
00:15:53Ho!
00:16:01The issue of the trial by combat is resolved.
00:16:06Long live Arthur, king of all Britain,
00:16:10and his betrothed, the Princess Guinevere,
00:16:14future queen of all Britain!
00:16:23Then, in rapid succession, we fought and defeated
00:16:27Tridelmont of Wales, Claudius and Clarence of Northumberland,
00:16:32then Lot of Orkney, Brandegoras of Latango,
00:16:35Morganor and Dulfus.
00:16:37Oh!
00:16:38I'm sorry if the subject bores you, my lady.
00:16:41Oh, not bored, sir knight.
00:16:43Just weary of the saddle.
00:16:45Although I'm used to riding.
00:16:47Aye, you ride like a boy.
00:16:49Aye, you ride like a boy.
00:16:51My father raised me like one having no son.
00:16:54I've always ridden to the hunt and for pleasure.
00:16:58But this long, slow journey is another matter.
00:17:02There's a clear pool not very deep where we will make our camp.
00:17:06Do you swim like a boy as well?
00:17:08Aye, but in the water I may look less like one.
00:17:15Vivienne, fetch me a dry cloth.
00:17:19I shall be cold when I come out.
00:17:21I have one here, my lady.
00:17:22Oh, that won't be enough.
00:17:24Another such.
00:17:25And my cloak.
00:17:30Heaven, your service.
00:17:32What magic is that?
00:17:33Some of Merlin's magic, my lady.
00:17:35He calls it soap.
00:17:36Very cleansing and soothing to the skin.
00:17:38Slick as an ear.
00:17:40Use it freely to wash all your sins away.
00:17:45It is a joy indeed.
00:17:48It makes one feel as...
00:17:52It is not some magic.
00:17:54Some kind of charm or witchcraft.
00:17:57We've heard such tales of this, Merlin.
00:18:00It is a love filter, my lady.
00:18:02It will awaken the passion of your loved one
00:18:05when mixed with a strong dose of kisses and embraces
00:18:08and briskly stirs together.
00:18:10You're making mock of me.
00:18:13Please, I yield thee.
00:18:15Hey, I will give you no quarter.
00:18:18Sanctuary, sanctuary.
00:18:20Sanctuary?
00:18:21I see no cloister and certainly no nuns.
00:18:24Would you dare lay hands on your queen?
00:18:27No queen yet.
00:18:29Only a pretty brat who needs a ducking.
00:18:32I will save you.
00:18:36Mercy.
00:18:38Mercy.
00:18:50Here, my lady.
00:18:52I hope you've managed to keep warm.
00:18:55You have arrived in time for the rescue, lady Vip.
00:18:58I was about to give your lady a second baptism.
00:19:02I will leave this with you.
00:19:06This love filter.
00:19:14Good, but not good enough.
00:19:16Remains to be seen.
00:19:17A gold piece?
00:19:18Gold piece.
00:19:19Lords and ladies, it is good news.
00:19:21Sir Lancelot has vanquished Sir Dorjach
00:19:23and is but a day's journey behind with the Princess Guinevere
00:19:26on his way to the king with the news.
00:19:28The king!
00:19:29The king!
00:19:31Let others rejoice, Griselda, not I.
00:19:34For my long-cherished hope of being my father's heir
00:19:36will perish if this young bride bears him a child.
00:19:40Then I shall be merely an illegitimate son.
00:19:44And my claim to the throne will vanish like a dream
00:19:48unless I strike like an arrow, swift and deadly.
00:19:56And to the mark!
00:20:00To the mark!
00:20:22Who is it that's paying us so much just to kill one woman?
00:20:25And who is she?
00:20:26You talk too much and ask too many questions.
00:20:29Hold your tongue.
00:20:54I saw the gleam of metal in the woods.
00:20:56Make no sign and stay behind me.
00:21:01Doors, bring up our shields swiftly.
00:21:12Ambush forward!
00:21:27Come on!
00:21:42Do not stop to think, doors. Fight!
00:21:56Come on!
00:22:26I owe you my life.
00:22:29And I owe you mine.
00:22:30Fair exchange.
00:22:32Yours is equally dear to me.
00:22:36If you had been killed, I would not have wanted to live.
00:22:40My lady, my lady, let us say no more,
00:22:43lest we lose all that we honor in life.
00:22:46Do you value honor above all else?
00:22:50I must, my lady.
00:22:53And so must you.
00:22:57Yes.
00:23:19What a poor child! Why, she might have been killed.
00:23:21And you too, my good Lancelot.
00:23:23This island of ours needs a scrubbing and a scouring
00:23:26to rid it of these vermin, these brigands.
00:23:29Now that I'm king of all Britain,
00:23:31I shall bring order and law to our land.
00:23:33What a poor child!
00:23:35Why, she must have been in mortal terror.
00:23:37A mere child to be in the midst of such carnage.
00:23:41In terror, yes, sire, but helpless, no.
00:23:44She cut one villain down herself,
00:23:46as good and true a stroker as I have ever seen.
00:23:49Did she? Did she?
00:23:51The lass has spirit, then, to be a queen and a mother of kings.
00:23:55Ah, but how long can it take a woman to change her gown?
00:23:58Doubtless she wishes to be at her best when you first see her, sire.
00:24:02Bathed and refreshed and fragrant.
00:24:05You're right. I must not be so impatient.
00:24:07Laugh if you will, but I'm all a quiver.
00:24:10My palms are wet, my heart pounds.
00:24:14It might help, sire, to remember that
00:24:16you are the bridegroom, not the bride.
00:24:18You're right, Lancelot. I must not be so maidenly.
00:24:23Tell me, my good friend Lancelot,
00:24:25did she speak of me on the journey hither, and of the marriage?
00:24:28Is she content to be my bride?
00:24:30Sire, there's nothing she wishes more than to be your queen.
00:24:34She said that? No soft words, Lancelot, the truth now.
00:24:37No, sire, the truth, in almost those very words.
00:24:40Good. Good. A good beginning, then.
00:24:43She's beautiful, is she not, Lancelot?
00:24:45Exceedingly, as I recall.
00:24:47Your memory serves you well, sire.
00:24:49I want to make her happy. I want to make her happy.
00:24:53You will make her happy, sire.
00:24:55What maid would not leap to be in her place?
00:24:58She will know, as I do, as do all your familiars.
00:25:02No kinglier man, no manlier king, lives on this earth.
00:25:07How would she not be happy?
00:25:10I thank you.
00:25:12I thank you.
00:25:14My dear, good, and true friend.
00:25:18And thanks again for this happiness, which you have won for me.
00:25:23Sire, any one of your knights...
00:25:25But would they have won?
00:25:27Where is the wench?
00:25:29How much of a woman is there to bathe in gown and cover with scent?
00:25:33Why, an army could prepare for battle in half the time.
00:25:36Must I sit here...
00:25:38I think I hear her coming with Merlin.
00:25:42Your Majesty, the Princess Guinevere of Camellia.
00:26:12The Princess Guinevere of Camellia
00:26:43Welcome to Camelot.
00:26:46My dear Guinevere.
00:27:13It's time to take your next position.
00:27:15Do you know what it is?
00:27:16Yes, Sire.
00:27:17That's good, but I don't.
00:27:28Your Majesty, all is in readiness.
00:27:31So am I.
00:27:33My dear Guinevere.
00:27:35My dear Guinevere.
00:27:37My dear Guinevere.
00:27:39All is in readiness.
00:27:41So am I. I have been for a week.
00:27:44Every bridegroom for his week.
00:27:46Now, Your Majesty, if you'll proceed to the altar.
00:28:10Your Royal Highness.
00:28:12Will you please take Sir Lancelot's arm
00:28:14and proceed to the altar at the next trumpet call.
00:28:40The moment is here.
00:28:44Yes, my lady.
00:28:46You should be the proudest and happiest maid in all Britain.
00:28:52My thoughts are not of pride.
00:28:56And as for happiness...
00:28:59My thoughts are not of pride.
00:29:03And as for happiness...
00:29:28And as for happiness...
00:29:45Lancelot saved me.
00:29:48From what, my lady?
00:29:49From myself. From this.
00:29:52This is what you wanted, to be Queen of all Britain?
00:29:55What my head wanted, not my heart.
00:29:58The King loves you.
00:30:00Say the word and I'll stop all this by swooning in your arms.
00:30:04There is no word.
00:30:06Say that you wish it were you waiting there for me.
00:30:09Before it's too late.
00:30:11It is too late now, Your Majesty.
00:30:25O Jesu Mio.
00:30:38Benedict Ad Vos.
00:30:40Omnipotens Deus.
00:30:43Pater et Filius et Spiritus Sancti.
00:30:47Amen.
00:30:56Charles, come and have a tankard of meat with me.
00:30:59My head is going round. I've had two already.
00:31:01Two already? What a drinking man you are.
00:31:03Before the evening is out, you must have at least two more.
00:31:06Everyone loves everyone tonight, and everyone is very happy.
00:31:09Ah, Lancelot.
00:31:10You know our new friends and late adversaries, Ulphus and Brandegoras?
00:31:14Ah, yes.
00:31:15Ulphus here still wears the scars you gave him at Landegore.
00:31:18I remember. The wounds heal very nicely.
00:31:21Too bad.
00:31:22Patience, friend, Ulphus. He's a king's right arm.
00:31:25Arthur trusts him with his life, and with his wife.
00:31:34Kill them, kill them, kill them, ugly flies.
00:31:37Swiftly, Ulphus, eat some meat before it is all gone.
00:31:40Unless Sir Lamorack has finished it already.
00:31:45I am not hungry.
00:31:48He's finished it already.
00:31:52That's fish, Lancelot.
00:31:54I've just played goblets with a dozen knights
00:31:56whose throats I sought to cut a year ago.
00:31:59I'm several that still need slitting.
00:32:01Hedwig, a fowl.
00:32:03A fowl, I said.
00:32:06A beautiful and touching celebration.
00:32:09I'm moved to rhyme of it.
00:32:12Good King Arthur, late in life, took himself a youthful wife.
00:32:16A baby boy is the rule, they say, when November weds with May.
00:32:21A royal prince to claim the rule,
00:32:24while other hopefuls play the fool.
00:32:32Only a fool would take you for one, my lord.
00:32:37Have I your devotion?
00:32:39Yes. Oh, yes, as no man ever before.
00:32:46You and I can go far if we guide our destinies.
00:32:49Yes. Guide them with a strong hand.
00:32:52I do not believe that my fate has been altered
00:32:55by my father's autumn passion.
00:32:58I will bend fate, break it if need be,
00:33:02but I will not allow that which is mine,
00:33:05which has been the constant goal of my life,
00:33:07to be snatched from my grasp.
00:33:46Ha-ha!
00:34:08I think she's merely swooned, sire, nothing more.
00:34:11Quick, Lancelot, take her to her chambers.
00:34:13Merlin, come with me.
00:34:16Let nobody be disturbed.
00:34:19Her Majesty has merely swooned,
00:34:21as what maid might not on such a day.
00:34:25The merriment continue, and let me forget now that I am a king,
00:34:29and remember only that I am a bridegroom.
00:34:34What happened to me?
00:34:36You fainted.
00:34:40Oh, what can we do now?
00:34:44Now and forever.
00:34:46Nothing.
00:34:48Oh, Lancelot,
00:34:51what might have been,
00:34:54what might have been,
00:34:57what might have been,
00:35:01what might have been,
00:35:03what might have been.
00:35:15You're celebrating, Lancelot, as if this were your wedding.
00:35:18No, brother, he's celebrating because it isn't.
00:35:21Thirsty work, carrying lovely young brides up stairways to bedchambers.
00:35:27I'll let him come.
00:35:29I'll play tankard against his dagger any time.
00:35:31You have all Britain's seat bad-blooded offers on table.
00:35:35Put up that bodkin before I tear you apart like a roast fowl.
00:35:41Look to yourself, Lancelot, if we meet at the midsummer tourney.
00:35:46Come, my friends, no silver faces.
00:35:48This is a night for celebration.
00:35:50To the king, to the queen,
00:35:53to the queen, to the bridal night.
00:35:56King, the queen, the bridal night.
00:36:05But, my dear husband, why can't I?
00:36:08I've ridden to the howl since a little girl.
00:36:10In Camelliard, many ladies of the court joined the hunt.
00:36:13It is not our custom, my sweet.
00:36:16The chase is wild and rough.
00:36:18I wouldn't think of letting you endanger one golden hair.
00:36:22I've come to love it so well.
00:36:24But I take no pleasure sitting here all day gossiping with my ladies.
00:36:28I will see you amused.
00:36:30Take the hounds below.
00:36:32What have you in mind, my Arthur?
00:36:34If the chatter of your ladies bores you,
00:36:36we will get Lancelot to tell you tall tales of adventuring.
00:36:41Lancelot!
00:36:44Sire?
00:36:45I have need of you here.
00:36:47At once, sire.
00:36:50I don't know what the world is coming to
00:36:53when perched young wives venture argument with their husbands.
00:36:57But in you I like it, provided you always give in.
00:37:03You do love me. A little.
00:37:06Oh, yes, my liege.
00:37:08You're kind and gentle
00:37:11and all that a woman may honour and respect.
00:37:14Yes, I love you with all I know of love.
00:37:19Oh, I could not ask.
00:37:24You will have a care for yourself during the chase.
00:37:26So careful I shall probably never see the stag.
00:37:29From now on, in forest, hunt or field or battle,
00:37:32I shall be known as Arthur, King of Cowards.
00:37:35Oh, I have so much to come back to.
00:37:37Oh, a likely story.
00:37:40But pleasant to the ear.
00:37:44Ah, Lancelot.
00:37:45You are captain of the watch today.
00:37:47So watch over my lady's entertainment as well.
00:37:51Anything her heart desires, providing there's no danger.
00:37:54Oh, come now, no pouting.
00:37:56Kiss me goodbye.
00:37:58We'll go riding tomorrow. Hawking, maybe.
00:38:01But no mad gallops through thicket and forest.
00:38:03That's for men.
00:38:04Goodbye, my love. Have a good day.
00:38:08Goodbye, my liege.
00:38:11I want you to know, Sir Lancelot, that as your queen,
00:38:18I not only look upon you as a loyal subject,
00:38:21but also as a friend.
00:38:25You do me great honor.
00:38:27Besides, you saved my life.
00:38:31Therefore, it pains me that you've been
00:38:33avoiding my presence these past weeks.
00:38:36Oh, it is not that.
00:38:39It is only I have my many duties as you have yours.
00:38:45That is the sum of it.
00:38:46Oh, good.
00:38:47Well, now that my mind is at rest,
00:38:49I feel free to...
00:38:50Guinevere!
00:39:02Gentlemen, to the hunt.
00:39:04Gentlemen, to the hunt.
00:39:19As I was saying,
00:39:21I'll feel free to seek you out if need be.
00:39:34As I was saying, I'll feel free to seek you out if need be.
00:39:59I could not abide my ladies any longer.
00:40:02Oh, gossip, gossip, gossip.
00:40:04I'll sit here and arrange my flowers.
00:40:07I hope you will forgive my presence here in your garden,
00:40:10but His Majesty always permitted me its use.
00:40:13You have my permission as well.
00:40:15Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:40:16Pay me no heed at all.
00:40:18Go on with your reading of that ponderous scroll.
00:40:21Pretend I'm as far away as your thoughts.
00:40:25What is it you read with such devotion?
00:40:28The Odes of Horus, Your Majesty.
00:40:31An early Roman with a comforting philosophy.
00:40:35Indeed?
00:40:36What does he teach?
00:40:38To be content with what one has
00:40:40and not to strive for the unattainable.
00:40:45Very comforting.
00:40:48Well, gentlemen,
00:40:50very comforting.
00:40:53Why must...
00:40:55Just one more question,
00:40:57and I'll not bother you further.
00:41:00But why must all writings be in Latin or Greek?
00:41:03Why can't they be in our own British language?
00:41:07Well, it is a mongrel speech, my lady,
00:41:10made up of many tongues.
00:41:12There are no symbols by which it could be written.
00:41:16Oh, it is a pity.
00:41:18I should like to be able to write simple messages to my dear Arthur,
00:41:22such as, I love you.
00:41:25How would you write that in Latin?
00:41:29It is very simple.
00:41:32I show you here on the sand.
00:41:39I love is one little word.
00:41:43Amor.
00:41:45And thee or you is te.
00:41:51There it is.
00:41:53I love you.
00:41:57Oh, Lancelot,
00:41:59you've said the words at last.
00:42:14I love you.
00:42:33I love you.
00:42:35I love you. I love you.
00:42:44I love you.
00:42:46I love you.
00:42:48I love you.
00:43:15Captain of the watch!
00:43:17Captain of the watch!
00:43:19The hall, send a hand.
00:43:21Guard!
00:43:22Guard! Guard!
00:43:32Gently.
00:43:34At ease. At ease.
00:43:36At ease.
00:43:38At ease. At ease.
00:43:43Sir Cedric, what has happened to you?
00:43:46I cannot say in one word.
00:43:49Let me sit here.
00:43:51Ryan, get some wine, quickly.
00:43:55No ceremony, Sir Cedric.
00:43:57Tell me swiftly, what ill tidings do you bring?
00:44:00Sir, it is war again.
00:44:02War?
00:44:03Silence, all of you.
00:44:05Let him speak.
00:44:06The barbarian, Sir Bryn Agorys, with a mighty horde,
00:44:09fell upon two of our villages by the sea and destroyed them,
00:44:12leaving no living soul.
00:44:15We in our fortress fought valiantly, but in vain.
00:44:18Only three of us escaped the final battle at night.
00:44:21Now I take my sacred oath.
00:44:24They shall pay with their lives for this.
00:44:26I and many of their heathen followers.
00:44:28Where now is this barbarian horde?
00:44:31Three days' journey away, Sir.
00:44:33Maybe four.
00:44:34For they lay waste the land.
00:44:36Stop it to burn.
00:44:38Rape, pillage.
00:44:40What is their number, knights and men-at-arms?
00:44:43Knights.
00:44:44Two hundred or more.
00:44:45Boemen, a thousand.
00:44:48The rest, axes, swords, fearsome weapons of all kinds.
00:44:53Maybe twice that number, maybe thrice.
00:44:56We could not tell.
00:45:00How can we match such a force in so short a space of time
00:45:03before we can send messengers, gather arms?
00:45:05The barbarians will be at our gates.
00:45:08Drink your wine, Sir Cedric. Catch your breath.
00:45:12Sire, if it please you.
00:45:13Speak your mind, Lancelot.
00:45:15All of you, speak your minds.
00:45:17As you say, Sire.
00:45:18We cannot raise an army of sufficient might in time.
00:45:22And Ulfris and Brandegoras well know it.
00:45:24I counsel, therefore,
00:45:26that Your Majesty let me depart with what force can be spared
00:45:30to delay the enemy at once,
00:45:32whilst you, Sire, bring to your standard here the full strength of your allies.
00:45:37I'll see you, Lancelot.
00:45:38Your counsel leads me here whilst you do battle.
00:45:41I am no king to sit on a throne and let my knights do my fighting.
00:45:46Sire, your prowess in battle has been sung too often to need defending,
00:45:51as well as your courage.
00:45:54But it is only you, our sovereign lord on this isle,
00:45:57who can command the allegiance and instant obedience of our several allies.
00:46:02I cannot deny, however unwillingly, the worth of your argument.
00:46:09End of your counsel, Lancelot.
00:46:12Choose those you will have at your side in this perilous undertaking.
00:46:15Leave with me half our ready force,
00:46:17so that, if need arise, we here will not be defenceless.
00:46:21Eric, Ryan, take Sir Cedric to my chambers.
00:46:24Take Sir Cedric to my chambers.
00:46:26Down with murder, Mr. Chambers.
00:46:29We will have further power, Lancelot, before you tip out.
00:46:32Thank you, Sire.
00:46:50I could not let you leave without one kiss.
00:46:54Do you love me?
00:46:57Yes, my golden hair.
00:47:01God help me, I love you.
00:47:04Swear you'll return to me, otherwise I will die.
00:47:09I will return, and only to you.
00:47:24I love you.
00:47:54I love you.
00:48:25Lancelot.
00:48:49You were up early, Tors.
00:48:50I wasn't sleepy. I thought I might as well sit here as lie on the ground.
00:48:53Aye, this unbroken sod does not make a feather bed, does it?
00:48:58I had but little sleep myself.
00:49:01I am always restless before a battle.
00:49:03Are you?
00:49:05It is my way, too. I know not why.
00:49:08It is not that I am afraid.
00:49:09Afraid? You?
00:49:11I would not be here today were it not for your prowess in that ambush.
00:49:15I hope you will stay at my side today.
00:49:17I thank you, Sir Lancelot.
00:49:18I would not tell this to anyone else, but that ambush was my first battle.
00:49:22Truly?
00:49:23The first time I ever killed a man.
00:49:26I have never been in a battle such as we will face.
00:49:29It will be no different, merely longer.
00:49:31The odds will give us more work to do.
00:49:35Is this your only armour, Tors?
00:49:36Where is what you wore to Camelot?
00:49:38That was borrowed.
00:49:39This is all I have.
00:49:41I have a spare suit of armour and my light blue tabard with the pack horses.
00:49:44Go, kick the lanterns.
00:49:45Mind you, Sir Tors.
00:49:47You will acquit yourself well, I have no doubt, and the glory will be mine.
00:49:51I thank you, Sir Lancelot. I hope I will be worthy.
00:50:15Help!
00:50:45An easy victory.
00:50:46Yes, and we want no prisoners.
00:50:48Put them to the sword, all of them.
00:50:49No, not the women. We want the women.
00:50:51I say no, we cannot tarry again, losing another day's time.
00:50:54Arthur must be given no chance to prepare against us.
00:50:57My men will not march till they have had their reward.
00:50:59You are men, it is you.
00:51:01And if it is, who will deny me?
00:51:04Take the women if you must, but keep your men from the wine.
00:51:07The women, gather them by the tent.
00:51:09The women, to the centre, by the tent.
00:51:12No men prisoners.
00:51:29They have water on three sides.
00:51:32We shall put fire on the fourth.
00:51:39We shall put water on the fifth.
00:52:09Help!
00:52:39Help!
00:53:09Fire!
00:53:39Help!
00:54:09Help!

00:58:56Fire!
00:59:00Fire!
00:59:03Charge!
00:59:29Charge!
00:59:59Fire!
01:00:20You've had your baptism.
01:00:22We've killed enough today to last us a lifetime.
01:00:25It's a pity, however, that Poufos and Brandigoras have escaped us.
01:00:28They're vanquished. The whole army destroyed.
01:00:30Bancelot, you've done it.
01:00:31We've done it, lad. All of us together.
01:00:42Come along, Thor.
01:00:58Bring it.
01:01:20A beautiful sight.
01:01:21A proud and memorable day
01:01:24that will long live in song and story.
01:01:26I wish I could have been there.
01:01:28I should have been there, but Lancelot's victory left no room for further battle.
01:01:38I don't see him. Where is Lancelot?
01:01:42Is that not his light blue tabard on the litter those men carry?
01:01:50It seems so, but it's hard to tell at this distance.
01:01:54A body on the litter.
01:01:56This is tabard.
01:01:59I pray it not be Lancelot.
01:02:04No.
01:02:09Dear God, don't let him be dead.
01:02:20There is Lancelot!
01:02:27Oh, it is. It is Lancelot.
01:02:32He's not dead.
01:02:43I'm ashamed of my foolish outcry, my lord.
01:02:48But your champion, your friend and mine...
01:02:56I couldn't bear the thought.
01:03:00Nor could I, my sweet. Nor could I.
01:03:26© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:03:56© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:04:06Look here, Lancelot.
01:04:09I'm a blunt man. I've no words or wits to fence with.
01:04:13You have words enough today. Get to the point.
01:04:16I came here to escape words and sly looks.
01:04:19To meet with softer words and gentler looks? Is that to the point?
01:04:26Aye.
01:04:28I have points and blades enough waiting for me now without adding yours to the list.
01:04:35Mine wait only for your enemies, no matter who or what they may be.
01:04:47I shouldn't have doubted you even for that moment.
01:04:51I have lost track lately of friendship...
01:04:57...and a few other little things like duty, loyalty, honour.
01:05:02I know not what to do.
01:05:06Did you ever expect to see me so enmeshed in a web of white and gold silk?
01:05:14How many lances have I shattered for a woman's favour? I cannot count.
01:05:17Ridden away afterward, old in heart and body.
01:05:22And now...
01:05:25I am lost. I am lost.
01:05:28Right away again, lad, while there's still time.
01:05:32Let's take horse tonight for your castle.
01:05:35From there we can ship to Brittany.
01:05:38Word has come that the Huns have invaded France.
01:05:41There should be much adventure and honourable profit there.
01:05:43Odds fish I feel a boy again at the thought.
01:05:47But I'm your man. I'm captain of the watch tonight.
01:05:51Nothing will be stirred up if we ride out at dawn after my watch...
01:05:55...for a day or two a joyous guard.
01:05:59Let naught deter you, Frenchman.
01:06:01Stand your watch tonight and nowhere else.
01:06:05Remember, who knows, but Mordred may hope to make this night his night of all nights...
01:06:10...if I make my thoughts clear.
01:06:13Aye. As clear as the blue of your mace.
01:06:16Then it's agreed.
01:06:20I can feel my arms around that fat girl now.
01:06:24That is as far as I could reach.
01:06:26What was her name again? Yvette? No, no.
01:06:29No matter. It'll come back before our ship reaches Brittany.
01:06:33What ship is that, gentlemen?
01:06:35A ship, Your Majesty.
01:06:37Let it go, Lamarack.
01:06:40There's no use lying. I'll explain matters to Her Majesty.
01:06:44I'm surprised, Sir Launcelot. No knight would lie to his queen.
01:06:49You may leave us, Sir Lamarack.
01:06:52Your Majesty.
01:06:54When do you sail for Brittany?
01:06:56Tomorrow.
01:06:58Your Majesty.
01:07:00When do you sail for Brittany, Sir Light of Love?
01:07:07Whatever you heard.
01:07:09Whatever I must do.
01:07:11You know what is in my heart.
01:07:13In what heart?
01:07:15I should have known better than to trust a Frenchman.
01:07:18That's my golden hair. Strike right and left if aught displeases you.
01:07:22This is how I love you best.
01:07:24You lie. You never loved me.
01:07:25You took my love with a saddled horse standing by.
01:07:28And a ship for Brittany.
01:07:30If I stay and we continue, and I could not be near you without loving you,
01:07:34it would end in death for both of us.
01:07:36I never thought to see you afraid.
01:07:39There are some things all men feel.
01:07:41And one of them is being burned at the stake before a gaping crowd of shopkeepers.
01:07:44Does not the same fire wait for me if we are caught?
01:07:46You speak like a child.
01:07:48You feel but do not think.
01:07:50Tis better than a man who thinks but does not feel.
01:07:52To leave me without a word.
01:07:54As if I were some innkeeper's daughter.
01:07:56Without even a thank you or farewell.
01:07:58You know I never would have ridden away without one last moment with you.
01:08:02Oh, only a moment.
01:08:04I should have thought if it's to be our last night,
01:08:07that you'd be more generous with your love.
01:08:09Now listen to me.
01:08:11Lamorac is not the only one who knows.
01:08:13It is the gossip of the court.
01:08:15And Mordred will see to it that it reaches Arthur's ears.
01:08:17And do not mistake your Arthur.
01:08:19He will uphold the law, whatever it costs him.
01:08:20Or you.
01:08:23Then take me with you to France.
01:08:25Or anywhere.
01:08:27Do you think they would give us peace?
01:08:29The Queen of Britain and a traitorous knight.
01:08:31There would be no haven for us anywhere.
01:08:37I see them.
01:08:39Tis farewell.
01:08:41And nothing will sway you.
01:08:50Will you come to me tonight?
01:08:52At least that.
01:08:54I cannot bear it this way.
01:08:56To your own room?
01:08:58Tis a deadly chance.
01:09:00Not even Mordred would dare put spies on my door.
01:09:03I'll wait for you.
01:09:05After your watch is over.
01:09:07Whatever the hour.
01:09:09Oh, Lancelot, I swear you'll come to me tonight.
01:09:14I would not place you in such jeopardy.
01:09:17You know my sweet love,
01:09:18this must be our farewell.
01:09:22Very well.
01:09:25I'm done with crawling on my knees to you.
01:09:28Let it be farewell.
01:09:30Forever.
01:09:36But I'll wait for you tonight.
01:09:49Then my falcon swooped and seized the quail
01:09:52from under the very wings of Mordred's beloved Griselda.
01:09:56It was laughable to see the fury in Mordred's face.
01:09:59And I made him pay the gold pieces that he wagered me.
01:10:03Arthur, my dear, come.
01:10:05Tis late.
01:10:07Drink your wine and then to bed with you.
01:10:11Shall I add a few drops of Merlin's sleeping draught?
01:10:14I doubled the dose.
01:10:15Tonight I will sleep like the dead.
01:10:17With no dreams.
01:10:19Oh, what you need is a change of scene,
01:10:21some new action,
01:10:23a nice little war perhaps.
01:10:25Can't you stir up a pretty little war of sorts?
01:10:29None that I would relish facing.
01:10:31Come now.
01:10:33Drink your medicine like the man you really are.
01:10:35It's not so bitter as you make it out.
01:10:38Is it not?
01:10:41Then look at me.
01:10:42And tell me if you can
01:10:44that there's a medicine for the pain in my heart.
01:10:49I tell you this
01:10:51as I hope for God's mercy.
01:10:53You may sleep sound tonight,
01:10:55knowing that tomorrow's sun
01:10:57will find gone all cause of your unhappiness.
01:11:00Is that enough?
01:11:02Aye.
01:11:04For that I'll drain the cup and sleep
01:11:06until I wake with your arms around me.
01:11:08Is that proof?
01:11:38Good night.
01:12:08Good night.
01:12:38Good night.
01:13:00Oh, I love you.
01:13:03Do you know how much I love you?
01:13:06I know, I know.
01:13:09I know.
01:13:22It grows late too quickly.
01:13:24Oh, do not leave me yet.
01:13:26It is almost dawn.
01:13:28We cannot take the risk.
01:13:30Oh, I must hold you a little longer.
01:13:32Only a little longer.
01:13:39Let me look at you.
01:13:43It is thus I want to remember you
01:13:46after loving.
01:13:49How can I live without you?
01:13:51Tell me.
01:13:53Help me.
01:13:56It will be better in time.
01:13:59Yes, for you.
01:14:02Because you'll have your man's world.
01:14:04Your tournaments, your wars, your women.
01:14:07Yes.
01:14:09You will desire a woman here, there and ever.
01:14:12But I,
01:14:14I have no life without you.
01:14:17I can desire only you.
01:14:19I'm nothing.
01:14:21Nothing.
01:14:23I'll die.
01:14:25No, you will not.
01:14:28Do not forget.
01:14:30There's hope in the future.
01:14:31You will live for it and survive.
01:14:35For I will love you always
01:14:38as I do now.
01:14:49Farewell, my love.
01:14:52My only love.
01:14:55Farewell.
01:15:01Farewell.
01:15:32Put up your swords, Sir Keith.
01:15:34The trap is sprung.
01:16:01Stop him!
01:16:03Gareth! Gareth!
01:16:05Close the gate!
01:16:11All right, now!
01:16:32Gareth!
01:16:38Hold him! Cut him down!
01:16:40Cut him down!
01:17:01Gareth!
01:17:31The Lord be with you.
01:17:41And with thy spirit.
01:18:02Well, speak up, men.
01:18:04Is it news of Lancelot?
01:18:05Ay, Your Majesty.
01:18:07He and Lamarack made good their escape to Joyous Guard.
01:18:10Of the knights and men we sent in pursuit,
01:18:12only half have returned.
01:18:14The others have gone over to Lancelot's side.
01:18:16So it begins again.
01:18:18Dagonet's little war over white flesh and golden hair.
01:18:22What a Dagonet.
01:18:24We'll see.
01:18:26We'll see.
01:18:28We'll see.
01:18:29White flesh and golden hair.
01:18:31What a Dagonet. Where is he?
01:18:33We have no word of him, Sir.
01:18:35Not since he was seen weeping at the Queen's side
01:18:37when she was being carried to Camelot Prison.
01:18:43And in the town?
01:18:45Many are barring their doors and darkening their windows.
01:18:48Others are gathering to watch the burning.
01:18:52You two go in.
01:18:54Tears for the faithless.
01:18:56Your pardon, Sir.
01:18:58My sorrow is for my brother, Gareth.
01:19:01In your own troubled state,
01:19:03I did not wish to impose my grief on you.
01:19:06What happened?
01:19:09He was carrying no arms because it was Lancelot.
01:19:13He merely sought to hold him on the stairs as you had ordered.
01:19:18And Lancelot killed him.
01:19:20This is as unlike the Lancelot I knew
01:19:24as all the rest of this.
01:19:27Lancelot was hard-pressed.
01:19:29He struck blindly, right to left, he drove through us.
01:19:32I have doubts he even knew that he'd fell, Gareth.
01:19:34In all fairness, go away.
01:19:36Even so, Gareth's blood is on his head.
01:19:39Sire, I had two loyalties.
01:19:41Now I have but one.
01:19:43The other is turned into a hate as keen as your own.
01:19:45I have but one.
01:19:46The other is turned into a hate as keen as your own.
01:19:48Aye, lad, I know.
01:19:51It seems that love and hate are so close akin,
01:19:54only the sharpest sword can separate one from the other.
01:19:58Sire, let me lay siege to Joyous Guard
01:20:01before Lancelot escapes to France.
01:20:06Peace, lad.
01:20:08Lancelot can wait.
01:20:14The trumpets.
01:20:17So it begins.
01:20:24The law says fire.
01:20:30I made the law.
01:20:32Were I to break it for such a cause as this,
01:20:35I'd be king no longer.
01:20:40Am I not right, Merlin?
01:20:41Where lies my duty to this united Britain
01:20:44that we have built at such a cost?
01:20:46To hold it in peace as long as I may,
01:20:49or to my heart?
01:20:51You know how often I urged you
01:20:54not to take Guinevere in marriage.
01:20:57It was a love that could never be.
01:21:01Now, whether forgiveness would have seemed weakness,
01:21:05how the life of one erring girl
01:21:07should weigh against the peace of the state,
01:21:10that I cannot answer.
01:21:18All I find in my tired brain and slowing heart
01:21:22is the hope for a better world than this,
01:21:25where there will be no wars, big or little.
01:21:33At any rate, it's too late for a change.
01:21:36Why?
01:21:39So it is.
01:21:44Fire.
01:21:47God in heaven.
01:21:50Her face and hands.
01:21:53Her white body.
01:21:56Her hair of gold, so soft and alive.
01:22:00God!
01:22:01What have I done?
01:22:04What can I do?
01:22:31Oh!
01:23:02Oh!
01:23:12Oh!
01:23:23Oh!
01:23:24Oh!
01:23:30Oh!
01:23:32Oh!
01:23:53Put up your swords! Put up your swords!
01:23:56We cannot stop them with arrows at our throats.
01:24:01Fire!
01:24:03Fire!
01:24:10Fire!
01:24:12Fire!
01:24:14Fire!
01:24:31Fire!
01:25:01And you saw no sign of Modred's reinforcements on your way?
01:25:04None.
01:25:06But it is said in Camelot
01:25:08that Mark of Cornwall is sending catapults and battering rams.
01:25:11Much good battering rams would do.
01:25:13The place is impregnable by land.
01:25:15We'll take it at night from the water side
01:25:17when our boats are ready.
01:25:19It'll take months.
01:25:32Lancelot!
01:25:34Coward!
01:25:36Craven knight!
01:25:38Come forth!
01:25:40Lancelot, I see you!
01:25:42Again, I challenge you to personal combat
01:25:45with any weapons of your choice.
01:25:47Come forth, the coward, if you have any manhood left!
01:25:50Murderer!
01:25:52False knight!
01:25:54I see you dead with a sword in your throat!
01:25:57Come forth! You shall not escape!
01:25:59Come forth! You shall not escape!
01:26:01Coward!
01:26:10Was that Gawain shouting his challenge again?
01:26:14Every day, every day.
01:26:16I always had a fondness for Gawain,
01:26:18but these days I could gladly clout him with my mace.
01:26:21Arthur, well, he had some right in his sight,
01:26:24but Gawain,
01:26:26he knows how well you loved him at Gareth.
01:26:27He must know in his heart you never meant to slay him,
01:26:30in the dark, in the heat of battle.
01:26:32Be quiet!
01:26:34Must your tone keep pace with your appetite?
01:26:37Well, I'm sorry, lad, if I said...
01:26:39I do not need your apologies.
01:26:41No, you lame attempts to cheer me.
01:26:43Keep your counsel, I'll keep mine,
01:26:45and do not follow me everywhere I go!
01:26:47Let me be. Let me be.
01:26:49Coward as well as traitor and assassin.
01:26:52Lancelot, coward.
01:26:54I say, coward!
01:26:55This black soul...
01:26:57Gawain!
01:26:59Pardon, sir.
01:27:01I never knew Lancelot to refuse a challenge.
01:27:04I too have challenged Lancelot,
01:27:06week after week,
01:27:08to make this a personal matter,
01:27:10rather than one for all this bloodletting.
01:27:13He refuses to fight either of us.
01:27:15Yet I cannot believe it, cowardice.
01:27:18It is very simple, sir.
01:27:20It is true, Gawain.
01:27:22Lancelot loves you both too well
01:27:23to raise sword or axe against you.
01:27:25It seems an odd distinction.
01:27:27His archers pour arrows on us,
01:27:29and boiling oil from the walls
01:27:31is an odd show of love and loyalty.
01:27:33You and I must see to the new entrenchments, Gawain,
01:27:35and the progress of the boats.
01:27:37You'll leave, sir.
01:27:39Come along, then.
01:27:41Close the tent, Dagonet.
01:27:43There's a cold wind.
01:27:54Thank you, Susan.
01:28:00What blood is that?
01:28:02The blood of a lad from Camelliard.
01:28:07Haven't you gone through hell enough
01:28:09without taking on this role of angel of mercy?
01:28:13A lad from home.
01:28:15Dickon, a bowman.
01:28:18He was a pageboy at my father's court.
01:28:20He told me that he had loved me
01:28:22all his few years.
01:28:25I know the boy.
01:28:27How is he now?
01:28:29His little love story is over.
01:28:32He died with his head in my lap.
01:28:35He's not the first nor the last to die.
01:28:38Go and change that gown.
01:28:40You look like a nun.
01:28:42I might as well be one
01:28:44as far as you're concerned.
01:28:45Is our little love story over, too?
01:28:48Turned to stony indifference?
01:28:51Indifference? God in heaven, Green.
01:28:53You've scarcely spent an hour alone with me.
01:28:56I live in a dungeon of silence and evasion.
01:28:59Meanwhile, lads like Dickon die for us
01:29:02while you brood on knightly honor
01:29:05and refuse to take the one way to our freedom.
01:29:08And killing Gawain and Arthur would mean our freedom?
01:29:11Freedom. Is this freedom?
01:29:12Gawain and Arthur would mean our freedom?
01:29:14Freedom. Is there a land so distant
01:29:16that I can find freedom from the thoughts
01:29:18which whirl night and day in my heart and brain?
01:29:21I love you, Gwen, but...
01:29:24I long them already more than I can bear.
01:29:27Do not, I beg you.
01:29:29I beg you, do not ask me for further dishonor.
01:29:32What dishonor would lie in accepting their challenges,
01:29:35meeting them fairly, man to man?
01:29:37You'd be risking as much as they?
01:29:39I taught Gawain all he knows
01:29:40and Arthur, good man as he is,
01:29:42never could hold his own against me.
01:29:44It would be plain assassination. I cannot.
01:29:46They'll have no mercy on you or me if they starve us out.
01:29:50If that is all we're waiting for...
01:29:52I will not raise sword against Arthur.
01:29:54Mark my words, I will not raise sword against Arthur
01:29:56if it means my life.
01:29:58And if it means mine.
01:30:01If you loved me, you'd take the one way out
01:30:04and win a new chance for us.
01:30:06It's in your hands.
01:30:07You can give us life and happiness
01:30:09with one blow of sword or axe.
01:30:14Well then.
01:30:18Enough.
01:30:20Perhaps you're right.
01:30:23And there is no other way.
01:30:27I will end this folly.
01:30:29When?
01:30:31Tomorrow when Gawain comes, I'll meet him.
01:30:34And then, Arthur?
01:30:35I'll send him a challenge
01:30:37which he cannot refuse.
01:30:39He'll let nothing stop you.
01:30:41Not even the fires of hell.
01:30:44Now run and change.
01:30:50Love.
01:30:54I have no fear for you.
01:30:57No man can stand against you.
01:31:00If you want your life, Gawain,
01:31:02take back your insults.
01:31:03And admit that you know in your heart
01:31:05I never meant to kill Gareth.
01:31:07Say it and go free!
01:31:09Kill me as you did my brother!
01:31:11Kill me murderer!
01:31:13False knight! Traitor!
01:31:21Take your life, Gawain.
01:31:23Despite all.
01:31:25I would not kill you
01:31:27any more than Gareth whom I loved.
01:31:30Leave.
01:31:31Leave.
01:31:33And take back to your king this message.
01:31:36This is the message, sire.
01:31:38To Arthur, king of all Britain.
01:31:40Many men have been killed
01:31:42and more to come when only one is guilty.
01:31:44Give your word that there will be no reprisals.
01:31:46That all others in this keep
01:31:48will go unscathed to freedom.
01:31:50All others!
01:31:52And I will surrender myself to any fate
01:31:54that you would vent upon me.
01:31:56There, sire!
01:31:58He has signed his own death warrant!
01:31:59Ah, sire, when soon we shall have all.
01:32:01Is Guinevere guiltless
01:32:03and the others that turned traitor to their king?
01:32:05Treason cannot go unpunished
01:32:07but perhaps if they would swear a new allegiance.
01:32:09Your pardon, sire,
01:32:11but can anyone here speak the name of Lancelot
01:32:13no matter how bitterly
01:32:15without calling to mind
01:32:17the many deeds of friendship and of valour?
01:32:19Silence, all of you!
01:32:21Merlyn,
01:32:23you, who are wisest in counsel,
01:32:25have said naught.
01:32:26You are the king, sire.
01:32:29That is my counsel.
01:32:32Aye.
01:32:34And with the crown and sceptre
01:32:36also the welfare of the kingdom
01:32:38was placed in my hands.
01:32:42You all think and feel like men.
01:32:46I must act
01:32:48with the mind and the heart
01:32:50of a king.
01:32:52Good evening, dear Merlyn.
01:32:54I am so glad to see you.
01:32:56And I to see you again, Your Majesty.
01:32:58No, Majesty.
01:33:00No queen at all.
01:33:02I hope just a woman in love.
01:33:04Now, tell me the plan of battle.
01:33:06Here are my champion.
01:33:08Let me sit adoringly at your feet.
01:33:10Please sit, dear Merlyn.
01:33:12When does it take place?
01:33:14When it takes place,
01:33:16I shall tell you.
01:33:17Please sit, dear Merlyn.
01:33:19When does it take place?
01:33:21If it please your ma...
01:33:23My lady,
01:33:25there is nothing in this matter
01:33:27about a combat.
01:33:29No combat?
01:33:31You mean this great king of yours,
01:33:33this...
01:33:35No offense, dear Merlyn,
01:33:37but this dealer in roasted women
01:33:39in the marketplace,
01:33:41he refuses the challenge.
01:33:43My lady, there was no challenge to fight.
01:33:45The king...
01:33:48Lancelot's offer to the king
01:33:50was the surrender of his person
01:33:52for any torment or death,
01:33:55so long as you
01:33:57and all here with you were freed.
01:33:59No, Lancelot.
01:34:01You didn't.
01:34:03No, my love, he shan't have you.
01:34:05Quietly, quietly, my beloved.
01:34:07The king is merciful.
01:34:09He has altered my conditions.
01:34:11There is to be an end of dying
01:34:13for a while for you and me
01:34:15and all concerned.
01:34:17Would you leave us?
01:34:24Go on.
01:34:33I am banished to France
01:34:36and you are to be given safe escort
01:34:39to the convent in Glastonbury.
01:34:45That's my love.
01:34:47Mull it over behind those big eyes
01:34:49and you'll see
01:34:51it's our one hope for a true chance of happiness.
01:34:55I see nothing but nuns
01:34:57in black and white
01:34:59and prayers,
01:35:01fastings and bells.
01:35:05I heard enough bells that morning.
01:35:08Look here, my golden hair.
01:35:10There's nothing in the king's offer
01:35:12that says you must take a nun's vows.
01:35:14And our parting may not be for long.
01:35:15The world Arthur knows is dying
01:35:17and Mordred will bring it crashing down
01:35:19around his ears.
01:35:21I will be out of it in Brittany
01:35:23and you will be safe in sanctuary,
01:35:25safe from Mordred or anyone else
01:35:27until I come for you.
01:35:30A widow and not one of my making.
01:35:36Then we have only a few days.
01:35:40We must be grateful for that.
01:35:46When do I go?
01:35:49In the morning.
01:35:53In the morning?
01:35:55It is part of the bargain.
01:35:57I am to stay here
01:35:59and take ship for Brittany in three days.
01:36:02The Lamarie goes with me.
01:36:05Arthur will receive you in all honor.
01:36:08Merlin will ride with you.
01:36:12I will not ride.
01:36:13I shall walk
01:36:15and take nothing of my happiness with me
01:36:18but what I wear.
01:36:22You will be your own brave self
01:36:24and show them how a real queen
01:36:26faces defeat.
01:36:28I will, I will.
01:36:34But hold me close tonight,
01:36:36this whole short night.
01:36:40For there's nothing I can do
01:36:42but there's something picking at my heart
01:36:46and saying this is the end of love.
01:37:11Thank you.
01:37:42This Brittany of yours is all right indoors
01:37:45but when does it find out
01:37:47that summer's come again?
01:37:49Has it?
01:37:51Not while you keep winter in your heart.
01:37:54There are no ships in sight.
01:37:57They should be tidying some Britain
01:37:59in the Indies.
01:38:01I'm afraid so.
01:38:03I'm afraid so.
01:38:05I'm afraid so.
01:38:08I'm afraid so.
01:38:09They should be tidying some Britain
01:38:11in the Indies along the harbor.
01:38:13Come along.
01:38:39It's too early for hot food, but you bring some cold meat and wine and there is no news from Britain.
01:38:46She runs to my taste, this innkeeper.
01:38:49Oh, there's times when I need a little more of this French tongue of yours.
01:38:54You know enough for what's on your mind.
01:38:56Here, voila. I go fetch wine.
01:39:01I think she needs a little help.
01:39:10Lancelot!
01:39:18Here you go, Anne, if this is what you want.
01:39:20I'd rather live to see you bury it and murder its heart.
01:39:25I'm sorry.
01:39:27I'm sorry.
01:39:29I'm sorry.
01:39:31I'm sorry.
01:39:33I'm sorry.
01:39:35I'm sorry.
01:39:38I know you never meant to kill my brother.
01:39:43What brings you here, my friend?
01:39:45You. I've ridden from inn to inn looking for you for the last month.
01:39:49I saw you steed outside and Lamaracks.
01:39:51Aye, Lamarack is trying his French on our box of innkeeper.
01:39:56Tell me, what news of Britain?
01:39:58Arthur's dead, by Mildred's hand.
01:40:02Then it's happened.
01:40:04As I thought it would.
01:40:07And he's gone, my king, my friend.
01:40:11Whom I betrayed, but never ceased to love.
01:40:15Merlin's passed on. Old Sir Kay.
01:40:18And the Lady Vivienne.
01:40:20She took poison when Mildred had no more use for her.
01:40:24Gawain. Gawain, you're ill.
01:40:30My lung was pierced in the battle with Mildred and his allies.
01:40:33All Britain is at war again.
01:40:36You need it at home.
01:40:38To put down Mildred, that's why I've come.
01:40:41Nay, I have finished with killing.
01:40:44I am for Glastonbury and myself.
01:40:46I am for Mildred.
01:40:49Mildred and his men broke into the Queen's sanctuary.
01:40:52The Queen and some of the sisters escaped to Wales.
01:40:55And Mildred in his fury killed the rest and burnt the nunnery.
01:41:01I was wrong, Gawain.
01:41:03I have not finished with killing.
01:41:06Are you not going to leave for Glastonbury?
01:41:09No, I'm not going to leave for Glastonbury.
01:41:12I'm not going to leave for Glastonbury.
01:41:15I'm not finished with killing.
01:41:17Are you not going to leave me behind to die in the stinking Brittany of yours?
01:41:24I knew the day when I would have made you run a couple of courses with lances
01:41:27for insulting my native land.
01:41:29Have no fear.
01:41:31I'll have you at Mildred's death if Lomorac has to carry you.
01:41:34My word.
01:41:45Let's go.
01:42:15Let's go.
01:42:17Let's go.
01:42:41There will be land and gold and plunder
01:42:44for all who fight well today.
01:42:48When the battle is joined,
01:42:50do your utmost till the trumpet calls the retreat.
01:42:53Then all break and run, the enemy after us, into the trap.
01:42:57The trumpet will sound again.
01:42:59The bowmen will do their work, catching the flanks and rear of the enemy.
01:43:03Then we shall wheel about, charge on them,
01:43:06knights and foot soldiers,
01:43:08and kill and kill and kill!
01:43:15This army has gathered here
01:43:18to save England
01:43:21from the sword of the tyrant and the axe of the barbarian,
01:43:25from rape and pillage, from injustice and fear.
01:43:29In such a cause,
01:43:31every man will carry out his orders
01:43:34so long as he has life and strength.
01:43:37Let every man here
01:43:40Let every man here
01:43:42remember that today
01:43:46we must not only win a battle,
01:43:49we must end the war!
01:44:10Let's go.
01:44:40Let's go.
01:45:10Let's go.
01:45:40Let's go.
01:45:59Over there.
01:46:10Let's go.
01:46:18Let's go.
01:46:20Let's go.
01:46:27Let's go.
01:46:35Let's go.
01:46:41Let's go.
01:46:49Trumpet!
01:46:53To the arches!
01:46:56All to the head!
01:46:59Fly!
01:47:01Fly!
01:47:05Fly!
01:47:08Fly!
01:47:18Fly!
01:47:22Fly!
01:47:31Fly!
01:47:33Fly!
01:47:38Fly!
01:47:46Fly!
01:48:07Change to the right!
01:48:12Fly!
01:48:17Fly!
01:48:19Fly!
01:48:38Fly!
01:48:49Over there!
01:48:55Go!
01:48:58Fly!
01:49:00Fly!
01:49:02Fly!
01:49:04Fly!
01:49:06Fly!
01:49:08Fly!
01:49:32We are surrounded!
01:49:34Retreat!
01:49:38Retreat!
01:50:08Fly!
01:50:15Fly!
01:50:20Fly!
01:50:31Fly!
01:50:38Fly!
01:51:02I'm the Mother Superior.
01:51:04I know the mission on which you have come.
01:51:07You must bear in mind your surroundings...
01:51:10...and that all visitors must leave when the Vespers' bell rings.
01:51:38The Vespers' bell rings.
01:52:03Gwen.
01:52:06What is this habit you are wearing?
01:52:10I am a novice.
01:52:12Thank God that I'm in time.
01:52:15Did you think I would not come?
01:52:17I have a horse for you outside and clothing.
01:52:22Why do you not look at me?
01:52:30What do I see in your eyes?
01:52:32Pity?
01:52:35Pity for the fear which suddenly springs into mind?
01:52:40If you can stand there...
01:52:42...within reach of my arms, your lips an instant away from mine...
01:52:46...and not rush into my embrace...
01:52:48Lancelot.
01:52:50You must not speak so to me.
01:52:53I will shortly take my vows to become a nun of this order.
01:52:57No. No.
01:52:59I pray for your understanding...
01:53:02...so that you will not think so harshly of me...
01:53:05...or leave in too great pain.
01:53:08I would do any penance rather than cause you to suffer.
01:53:14No.
01:53:16I will not believe that when they cut off your golden hair...
01:53:19...your love for me was shorn away as well.
01:53:22Oh, Gwen.
01:53:24A life together awaits us.
01:53:26Everything we once hoped for.
01:53:28The warmth of our love. Children.
01:53:30The rest of our lives to share.
01:53:32It was for this we went through so much hell.
01:53:36What's happened to you?
01:53:44It would be hard to tell all that has happened to me...
01:53:47...in the year past.
01:53:50Much of it I do not understand myself.
01:53:54When first I was at the convent in Glastonbury...
01:53:57...I prayed for the earthly things I had lost.
01:54:01All you now spoke of.
01:54:03Then my prayers changed.
01:54:05I know not how or why.
01:54:08And I prayed for other things.
01:54:10For the peace of your soul and mine.
01:54:13And for God's forgiveness.
01:54:15And for His love.
01:54:17And now I know that the light which the church speaks of...
01:54:21...which many men seek all their lives...
01:54:24...does seem brightly shining.
01:54:27And I will follow that light until I die.
01:54:30And beyond.
01:54:32You too will find that light if you try.
01:54:35In your own way.
01:54:37In God's good time.
01:54:43Your gentleness is harder than any steel.
01:54:47I have no weapons against such armor.
01:54:50Is there no way through for me to reach your love?
01:54:55The Vesper's bell.
01:54:59And I've been told that I must leave.
01:55:03Forever.
01:55:06Where? To what?
01:55:09My atonement.
01:55:13The account is of long standing. It is true.
01:55:16And payment overdue.
01:55:19Perhaps...
01:55:21Perhaps...
01:55:24...that is what this all means.
01:55:28And I must find strength.
01:55:31As you have.
01:55:35And I will pray.
01:55:39I know not what else to do.
01:55:42I shall pray for you each day.
01:55:45And every night of my life.
01:55:52Farewell.
01:55:55My golden hair.
