First Knight

Good.|Do you want to know how to win?

Be the only one with a sword.

Easy.

Give him a hand! He fought well!

Well done. John.

Winner takes all, my friends!|One more challenger and I'll leave.

Once in a lifetime, you meet a man|so fearless. no man can touch him.

While you're waiting for him,|you can practice on me.

As sure as the sun will rise.|there's a man who's better than me.

He could be here. It could be today.

Yeah!

It could be you.

- He looks strong. Is he good?|- Try him and see!

Go on. Mark. But don't hurt him.

So, you're Mark, are you?|I'm Lancelot.

- Are you ready?|- I'm ready.

You don't have to kill me to win.

- Got tight hold of your sword?|- Don't you worry about that!

Can I give you some advice?|Don't drop your sword.

Is this your sword?|Give him a hand!

- Well done. Mark!|- How did you do that?

- Was that a trick?|- No. That's the way I fight.

Could I do it?|Tell me. I can learn.

Study your opponent, so you know|what he'll do before he does it.

- I can do that.|- And wait for the critical moment.

- I can do that.|- You can't care about your life.

Come on! Quickly!

Shut the doors!

Where's Daddy?

Burn it down.

We'll be burnt alive!

We need water! Get water!

- No! Wait till they've gone!|- We'll be dead by then!

Malagant.

Last night, men from this village|killed three of my people.

In reprisal,|I have destroyed your village.

The borderlands have been lawless|long enough.

Know now. that I am the law!

Come on!

There she is.

Mind the dog!

- Come here, milady.|- Wait.

- Milady ...|- I won't be much longer.

There's been another attack.|Another border village burnt.

Anne, take my place.

- Is it Malagant again?|- Yes. A small group got away.

- Are they being looked after?|- They want to see you first.

No, no, please. You poor people,|after such a terrible Journey.

We didn't know|where else to turn, milady.

They say we're outlaws.|They say we crossed the border.

I know. It's all Lies. He means|to frighten us into submission.

- Don't give in to him. We'll fight.|- I'm not the yielding kind.

Jacob. Take these good people in|and give them food and drink.

When you've rested, we shall pray|for your village and for Leonesse.

- God keep you safe, milady.|- And you. Now, go.

- It's the third village he's burnt.|- Does he want to destroy us all?

- He wants us to sign his treaty.|- He thinks we won't challenge him.

If he doesn't get what he asks,|he has the power to take it.

Oswald ...|You say nothing.

- You know what I think. child.|- Yes, I suppose I do.

- Prince Malagant must be answered.|- He will be. I shall decide today.

Now leave me.|Oswald, stay.

- I had hoped to have more time.|- Don't you know your own heart?

I know what I want.|I want to marry.

I want to live and die in Leonesse.

But I can't have everything I want,|can l?

Forgive me, but an offer of marriage|from Arthur of Camelot ...

Yes. I know.|You're right, of course.

No more words. Let it be done.

- You accept the offer?|- I shall marry Arthur of Camelot.

I was so proud to hold you|in my arms at your birth.

I shall be prouder still|to see you wed.

Poor Arthur. The only dowry|I bring him is a land in danger.

- But I shall love him. Oswald.|- You should. child.

I could never marry a man|without love.

Arthur wears his power so lightly.

He has such gentleness in his eyes.

I've never known anyone like him.

How could I love anyone more?

Halt!

It could be an ambush.|Look to the trees!

Protect the carriage!

Don't break the line.

Wait! Wait!

Now!

Follow! Follow!

It's all right.

They're going.

Wait!

Watch your flank!

We've got to jump!|Come on. Elise!

Roll when you hit the ground!

Petronella. come on!

You have to!

Hurry!

Save yourself!|It's me they'll follow!

She must have gone to ground.

She can't be far.

There!

Don't move.

- Who are you?|- Who cares?

Kill him!

- What is it?|- There were three.

Don't even breathe.|You ... drop the sword.

- Can I have her when you're done?|- You were after the woman?

Of course. Have you ever seen|anything so beautiful?

- I don't know about that.|- You don't want her?

Her soft skin, sweet lips ...|young, firm body.

- I have my orders.|- Who's to know?

- I should take her back.|- I'll hold her for you.

- It won't take long.|- I don't want any trouble.

This one's no trouble.|Look at her. She wants it.

- What's she doing?|- See for yourself. Turn her around.

Look into her eyes.|See what she's got for you.

Hello, pretty.

Now ... what have you got for me?

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

Why did you risk your life for me?|They could have killed you.

I'm not that easy to kill.

Do you know who I am?|Guinevere. I'm the Lady of Leonesse.

Well? Doesn't it please you to know|you saved the life of a lady?

- I'd be happy to save a dairy maid.|- She couldn't reward you.

If she were as pretty as you,|she could.

- What did I do?|- You insulted me.

Now I've insulted you.

How dare you treat me like this?

I take it you know no better.

You have done me a good service|and I shall forget the matter.

- Which way?|- I've never been here before.

See the scavenger birds?

They're looking for small animals|crushed by the passing wagons.

- About this reward ...|- My man will pay you.

- I don't want money.|- I'm on my way to be married.

Then you're not married yet.|You're free.

- I've given my word.|- I don't want your word.

- I want you.|- I'm not to be had for the wanting.

Why not? lf you want me.

- You may impress servant girls ...|- I can tell when a woman wants me.

- I can see it in her eyes.|- Not in my eyes.

- You're afraid, aren't you?|- I have nothing to hide.

Then Look at me.

If there is any honour in you,|promise me never to do that again.

I don't know about honour.

But I promise you ... I won't|kiss you again until you ask me to.

And that I never will.

- When do you get married?|- On Midsummer's Day.

Before Midsummer's Day dawns,|you'll ask me to kiss you again.

- You insult me. then abandon me?|- That's the road ahead.

And that, I presume,|is your brave escort.

- My child ... Thank the Lord.|- Are my ladies safe?

- Were you followed, milady?|- No.

No. there's no one there.

Your new country awaits you.

- If anything should happen ...|- I'll send word. Never fear.

Send Jacob. I want to know at once.|good news or bad. Promise me.

I promise you.

I promise you.

Lady Guinevere of Leonesse.|Welcome to Camelot.

God be praised, you're safe.|Nothing shall ever harm you again.

My Lord honours me|with his kindness.

Your coming brings me a happiness|I had not dared hope for.

My Lord must not think too highly|of me, lest he'll be disappointed.

Then I'll take you as I find you,|if you'll do as much for me.

Leonesse awaits news of your safety.|John will send any message you want.

My Lord grants my wishes|before I speak them.

Tell my people I'm come safe|into my new country.

Tell them you saw my eyes|filled with tears of Joy.

Already a queen.

- Agravaine, what happened?|- Ambush. sire.
