203 00:14:42.215 --> 00:14:44.151 I need my poet's bed. 204 00:14:44.151 --> 00:14:47.887 I need to lie here away from the years of Roman rule 205 00:14:47.887 --> 00:14:50.557 so that my creative consciousness can develop, 206 00:14:50.557 --> 00:14:52.792 so that the song can flow through the ether, 207 00:14:52.792 --> 00:14:54.827 so the words can grow in my mouth, 208 00:14:54.827 --> 00:14:59.166 so the music can metastasize into a song worthy to be heard 209 00:14:59.166 --> 00:15:00.833 before the High King. 210 00:15:00.833 --> 00:15:03.370 I'll be out when it's finished. 211 00:15:03.370 --> 00:15:08.375 - He's not writing, he's not fighting, he just rots in bed. 212 00:15:09.509 --> 00:15:11.578 See, I can make a song too, you sluggard. 213 00:15:12.912 --> 00:15:16.716 - Dove, that was not a song. 214 00:15:16.716 --> 00:15:20.020 - Well, it is more than what you've written in a year. 215 00:15:20.020 --> 00:15:22.755 Now, you see everyone who's not working in the village 216 00:15:22.755 --> 00:15:25.092 is learning how to fight, except for you. 217 00:15:27.827 --> 00:15:29.029 - Don't you see? 218 00:15:29.029 --> 00:15:30.630 I don't want to learn how to fight. 219 00:15:30.630 --> 00:15:32.399 These years of Roman occupation 220 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.434 have destroyed my creative consciousness. 221 00:15:34.434 --> 00:15:37.370 And we tell these lies and sing these songs about glory 222 00:15:37.370 --> 00:15:39.939 and honor, and at the end of the day we are killing 223 00:15:39.939 --> 00:15:42.109 and maiming other people. 224 00:15:42.109 --> 00:15:46.613 Many, most of our ancestors died fighting the Romans, 225 00:15:46.613 --> 00:15:51.018 and when it was over the Romans won, and they brought peace. 226 00:15:59.726 --> 00:16:02.395 - Are you a coward or a fool, Taliesin? 227 00:16:02.395 --> 00:16:04.097 We're free now. 228 00:16:04.097 --> 00:16:07.267 You don't owe tribute to some tyrant across the sea. 229 00:16:07.267 --> 00:16:09.869 Our lands are not being shackled by their roads, 230 00:16:09.869 --> 00:16:13.073 and our forests are not being decimated for their cities. 231 00:16:13.073 --> 00:16:16.676 You know that my parents were slaves to Rome, 232 00:16:16.676 --> 00:16:19.746 and I would rather die than serve another master. 233 00:16:21.214 --> 00:16:23.816 - You are not of our blood, yet you would fight with us? 234 00:16:24.984 --> 00:16:28.955 - This is my land, as it is yours. 235 00:16:32.959 --> 00:16:34.561 - Very well. 236 00:16:34.561 --> 00:16:36.596 Let me dunk myself in the river, 237 00:16:36.596 --> 00:16:39.132 and then we'll go swing swords for a few hours. 238 00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:44.237 Then go rinse the very nice wine out of my eye. 239 00:16:44.237 --> 00:16:46.606 - Yes. (Taliesin grunting) 240 00:16:46.606 --> 00:16:49.109 (tense music) 241 00:16:57.150 --> 00:16:59.752 (men grunting) 242 00:17:11.098 --> 00:17:14.000 - I request permission to train my own troops. 243 00:17:15.568 --> 00:17:17.570 -

You should have started the fire earlier. 248 00:17:32.452 --> 00:17:35.688 - Earlier, I was up before the dawn. 249 00:17:35.688 --> 00:17:37.390 The wood was still wet. 250 00:17:37.390 --> 00:17:39.459 - That's because you didn't cover it 251 00:17:39.459 --> 00:17:41.861 when it started raining yesterday. 252 00:17:41.861 --> 00:17:45.165 - But it was dark and I couldn't see. 253 00:17:45.165 --> 00:17:48.635 - The Queen's loaves still aren't baked. 254 00:17:48.635 --> 00:17:51.037 - Oh, that smells good. 255 00:17:51.037 --> 00:17:54.607 - My King, my Queen, my Prince. 256 00:17:56.109 --> 00:17:59.412 - My Queen, I must apologize. 257 00:17:59.412 --> 00:18:02.249 Tavish couldn't start the fire on time this morning, 258 00:18:02.249 --> 00:18:04.617 and the bread is still not done. 259 00:18:06.153 --> 00:18:07.687 - [Queen] That's all right, Enid. 260 00:18:07.687 --> 00:18:09.589 I'm not that hungry yet. 261 00:18:09.589 --> 00:18:10.857 Just send it to us later. 262 00:18:11.758 --> 00:18:13.059 - Oh, thank you, my Queen. 263 00:18:15.795 --> 00:18:18.097 You're lucky she's such a kind lady. 264 00:18:19.532 --> 00:18:22.669 - If I were lucky, I'd be married to a kind lady. 265 00:18:32.145 --> 00:18:33.613 - How many more swords? 266 00:18:33.613 --> 00:18:36.249 - Five. - We'll need more. 267 00:18:36.249 --> 00:18:37.484 - Well, my apprentice is sleeping 268 00:18:37.484 --> 00:18:39.386 so he will have the forge going all night. 269 00:18:39.386 --> 00:18:41.321 - And how many there? - Four. 270 00:18:41.321 --> 00:18:42.655 - Four by morning? 271 00:18:42.655 --> 00:18:45.091 - Yes, would you rather I do axes or spears 272 00:18:45.091 --> 00:18:46.593 as they are faster? 273 00:18:46.593 --> 00:18:49.629 - Swords, we need swords. -

True faith? 278 00:19:20.393 --> 00:19:23.230 What is the true faith doing for the Romans now? 279 00:19:23.230 --> 00:19:27.434 Antonius, you have your followers. 280 00:19:27.434 --> 00:19:29.168 My family is not amongst them. 281 00:19:29.168 --> 00:19:31.804 - The Romans destroyed the power of your Druids. 282 00:19:34.374 --> 00:19:39.379 - No, they attacked them, but did not destroy them. 283 00:19:42.148 --> 00:19:43.583 Myrddin and the Guineveres 284 00:19:43.583 --> 00:19:45.318 are tending the fires to the West. 285 00:19:47.354 --> 00:19:49.188 Tend to your own flock. 286 00:19:51.090 --> 00:19:51.924 Sevira. 287 00:19:58.197 --> 00:20:00.433 Lord Fenius, we need your counsel. 288 00:20:01.634 --> 00:20:04.003 -

Because they are the best fighters since the Romans. 293 00:20:15.615 --> 00:20:17.417 - They are savages. 294 00:20:17.417 --> 00:20:18.418 - The Romans once said 295 00:20:18.418 --> 00:20:20.553 we were savages, too. - Yes. 296 00:20:20.553 --> 00:20:23.623 - The Saxons are like us in so many ways. 297 00:20:23.623 --> 00:20:25.392 - But how can you trust them? 298 00:20:25.392 --> 00:20:28.328 - By creating an alliance that benefits us both. 299 00:20:28.328 --> 00:20:31.564 The Saxons are bringing their families. 300 00:20:31.564 --> 00:20:33.266 They're coming to settle down. 301 00:20:34.501 --> 00:20:36.569 - They are going to help us drive the Picts back 302 00:20:36.569 --> 00:20:38.605 in exchange for good farmland. 303 00:20:38.605 --> 00:20:41.341 And we have so many fields that have lain fallow 304 00:20:41.341 --> 00:20:42.775 since the Romans left. 305 00:20:42.775 --> 00:20:44.277 - A king must plan ahead. 306 00:20:44.277 --> 00:20:46.178 The Picts are getting closer every day. 307 00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:49.181 They're killing our folk in the north. 308 00:20:49.181 --> 00:20:51.818 And the people here are not yet fighters. 309 00:20:51.818 --> 00:20:55.087 - They are brave and strong. 310 00:20:55.087 --> 00:20:56.856 - But not yet battle-tested. 311 00:20:58.291 --> 00:21:00.360 Hengest and Horsa, they've been fighting the Huns 312 00:21:00.360 --> 00:21:01.361 all of their lives. 313 00:21:01.361 --> 00:21:03.195 My scouts keep me informed. 314 00:21:03.195 --> 00:21:06.899 Alpin's youngest daughter has already killed more than you. 315 00:21:06.899 --> 00:21:09.536 (Categern scoffing) 316 00:21:09.536 --> 00:21:12.372 A king must look to the best for all his people. 317 00:21:12.372 --> 00:21:14.774 - A king must do this, a king must do that. 318 00:21:14.774 --> 00:21:15.708 (Vortigern sighing) 319 00:21:15.708 --> 00:21:18.277 - Yes, my Queen, the King must. 320 00:21:18.277 --> 00:21:20.547 We cannot hold back the Picts. 321 00:21:20.547 --> 00:21:23.082 Rome barely stands. 322 00:21:23.082 --> 00:21:25.618 The power has shifted to the east to some port city 323 00:21:25.618 --> 00:21:27.186 on the Black Sea, it is their capital. 324 00:21:27.186 --> 00:21:31.190 Suppose all the Saxons decided to invade as well? 325 00:21:31.190 --> 00:21:32.725 We must have allies. 326 00:21:33.826 --> 00:21:36.128 Sometimes the best choice 327 00:21:37.330 --> 00:21:39.298 is the one that is the least harmful. 328 00:21:41.033 --> 00:21:42.902 - Send a message to the Saxons. 329 00:21:42.902 --> 00:21:44.737 Have them come as soon to as possible. 330 00:21:47.507 --> 00:21:50.209 - I do not like this. 331 00:21:50.209 --> 00:21:52.412 - Neither do I. 332 00:21:52.412 --> 00:21:56.549 - Wife, would you rather our people be slain by the Picts? 333 00:21:58.851 --> 00:22:01.688 Prepare for their arrival, we must welcome them. 334 00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:09.496 - What am I doing? 335 00:22:09.496 --> 00:22:11.130 - I do not like these Saxons. 336 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.634 - You do not care for any of us whom you call Pagan. 337 00:22:16.002 --> 00:22:18.671 - No, despite their ignorance of the true God, 338 00:22:18.671 --> 00:22:21.708 I find many of the people here to be good folk. 339 00:22:21.708 --> 00:22:23.776 But how can you trust a hired sword? 340 00:22:31.217 --> 00:22:34.487 (single drum beating) 341 00:23:04.316 --> 00:23:06.285 -
