King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

---

Uther, I don't think

we can win this fight.

I know Mordred.

He would accept surrender.

Hold the crown.

And hold it steady.

Drink their blood!

War!

Let us not forget

that before Mordred,

the Mages lived

among us in harmony.

Our relationship with them

was always peaceful.

That was

before they tasted power

and produced

those creatures of war.

But it was

only Mordred, not his people.

So why are we

slaughtering them, Vortigern?

Was not the prince friendly

with the Mages at one time?

Did he not study

with Mordred himself?

What are you implying?

I was sent to study

with him by my father,

as a token of diplomacy.

We would only seek

to remind Your Majesty

that it was a Mage, Merlin,

who gave you the great sword.

Light!

Where would we be without Merlin

and the Mages who helped him?

Where are they now?

Why do they not show themselves?

You know where they

are, Lord Mercia.

They are running

for their lives!

Enough!

Loose!

There will b no more killings.

There will be no more purges.

Am I clear, brother?

Now leave me.

Peace?

For a while.

Have we arrived in time

to save you from each other?

The only person I need

saving from is you.

I came for the child, not you.

Then you'll have to

fight me for him.

My brother's not himself today.

Look after him.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Are the men ready?

Yes, they are.

Are you sure

about this, My Lord?

Listen to me, woman.

I need you to do as I tell you.

What's going on?

I need to get you

and the boy away from here.

And I'll join you

as soon as I can.

I'm scared, Uther.

I have the sword.

Hurry.

How do you know

of this place, my love?

You must tell me

where we're going.

Why do you not answer me?

Tell me what

we're doing down here.

My darling, tell me what it is.

Tell me what it is,

and I'll make it stop.

It's okay.

Untie the skiff.

King Vortigern!

Move!

Hey!

Come here!

Come on! Come on!

Run, son!

Step aside for the king.

Get them back to work.

Sire.

Sergeant!

Get them under manners!

Still so handsome, my king.

Why has the water dropped?

Why does the sword

reveal itself now?

I'm not ready,

the tower is not complete.

As your power increases, so, too,

do the forces that will oppose you.

Balance is a law

that cannot be transgressed.

The born king will come.

It is inevitable.

We had a deal.

When the blood of a loved one

is spilt in these waters,

my desire must be met.

There is no ambiguity, My Lord.

We kept our side

of the covenant.

It was you who lost

the boy, and the sword.

Have I not sacrificed enough?

And have you not felt

your power increase?

With every kingdom conquered,

with every level added to your tower.

When it is capped

with the silver from Gaul,

you will have what you wanted.

Find the boy.

Kill him.

And the sword

will answer only to you.

If you desire further help,

you know the price.

Bumped into

the Vikings this morning.

They insisted I give you this

with their deepest apologies.

Get yourself well.

This wasn't

your responsibility, Arthur.

Don't be silly.

You girls have looked

after me for a lot longer than

I've looked after you.

I owe you everything.

What's so funny?

I just wanna know how you

get money out of Vikings.

You ask them for it.

Open the door!

Hey.

Open in the name of the king!

Open it.

Yes, gentlemen?

A turner come down this way.

We're searching all houses.

Whoa. Slow down, new boy,

before you trip up.

What did you say?

I'm gonna take your

hands for that.

Sergeant!

What did I tell you

about this establishment?

He touched me, sir.

Well, you should

count yourself lucky.

Most people have

to pay for that.

Now take your terriers

and get out!

Jack's Eye.

What did he want in here?

Resistance are

on the move again.

Hit a branding barge upriver.

Anyone in the house

you don't know?

Well, I'm not sure, Jack.

People come and go.

But we don't fall that side.

Ah, well, that's as may be.

Well, they fall where they fall.

This "born king" bollocks

isn't good for anyone.

Mind if I take a look?

He's bleeding.

Took an arrow on the way out.

What would happen to a man who

hits the king's barge upriver?

Well, you know

what would happen.

And it doesn't happen quickly.

What would happen to the people

harboring such a man?

Well, they get treated

the same as the man they hide.

Would they, now?

Not sure you're

too welcome here, mate.

You're in safe hands now,

no need to worry.

In the back room, now.

What's this all about, Jack?

What's it got to do with us?

Do you have any idea

who that man is?

For a man who's so popular,

I'm surprised I don't.

Goosefat Bill.

I know who he is.

He got that moniker

'cause he keeps slipping out from the

bars you keep putting him behind.

He was found

in this establishment,

and that doesn't

look good for you.

What's going on?

What's going on where?

You've got some heat on you, Arthur.

Your name keeps coming up.

In what circles?

My mum's sewing circle.

I'm a Blackleg sergeant, stupid.

What circles do you think?

Now, tell me a story

about a girl called Lucy,

a Viking called Greybeard,

and some rebel graffiti

dirtying these walls.

Are you writing a book?

Tell me.

Every detail.

We had a quiet word

with a couple of Vikings.

Get back! Back!

I said from the beginning,

the very beginning.

I woke up.

Then?

Well, then I got dressed...

I went downstairs, I saw the girls.

Lucy was missing.

Where's Lucy?

She's a good girl.

A nice girl.

She works here.

Then?

Then, me and the lads took

care of a bit of business.

Bit of housekeeping.

Everything as it should be?

That's the spoil from the boats.

Then?

Then we heard...

George had

trouble again last night.

All right,

meet me out the front.

Which George? King George?

Angry George?

George of the Dragon?

Be clear, Arthur. Which George?

Our George.

Chinese George,

Kung-Fu George.

George?

Art.

We heard he'd had

some trouble with the...

Vikings.

Well, none of them

are house-trained.

I thought you'd warned them.

I did.

They don't speak English good.

They speak it better than you.

Hold up, hold up.

Back up.

Are you sure you didn't see someone

else before you saw George?

Morning, Art.

We saw Mike.

All right, Mike.

Mike the Spike?

Kosher Mike? Which Mike?

You're giving me a headache.

Flat-Nose Mike.

He was trafficking furs through our

vicinity without paying a commission.

That's quite a load,

bit bigger than usual.

Yeah, changed last minute.

Just landed on me.

More is better than less.

More is always better

than less, Mike.

More's definitely better than less,

Mike. You've had a result.

I'm sorry, Art.

It won't happen again. I promise.

You're all right, Mike.

Why have enemies

when you can have friends?

Where'd you put the money?

What money?

Money?

What money?

Did you hide it

with the rest of your coffers?

You're all over the place.

You can't keep your questions

in a straight line.

I'm trying to tell a story here,
