King Arthur: Legend of the Sword Page #5

---

I can do that easily.

What's the problem?

Tell him.

Tell you what

the problem is, mate.

When you say

the building's right,

I know the man

that owns that building.

And he's not interested

in letting anyone in.

How do you feel about

a rooftop king assassination?

My roof?

Yeah.

And least of all the king's assassins

that he'll have to hang for.

I'd hang?

Probably.

The three exits

are actually only one.

'Cause once

the alarm arrow's fired

the gates will be shut

within two minutes

and they're six

minutes away by foot.

Unless you can run like a

Neapolitan stallion, I'd forget them.

So, you have one exit remaining.

And that has a tavern

20 yards from it.

There's always more Blacklegs

in the Two Hot C*cks

than there are rats

on the street.

Why don't you use

the other building?

The one back here?

Because it's 175 yards away.

And how far

can you shoot, Back Lack?

Accurately? 75.

Bill?

Same as...

No, he said, "175."

All right, mate,

of course you can.

That's about 175 yards,

isn't it?

Well, he was supposed to signal.

Can't see him.

Well, if can't see them,

then they can't see us.

Hey!

Maybe they thought

that was luck.

That could've killed us.

They scream like girls,

your friends.

Bill?

The wolf

at the head of the pack.

Goosefat...

Everything all right?

Goosefat!

Mmm.

Is there something

I should know here?

Those two have a history.

Well, whatever it is, that's

not what we're here for.

Is it, Goosefat?

Mmm.

They've arrived.

Maggie,

I now realize what an important

member of my household you are.

Your Majesty...

I haven't finished.

Sit down.

Till recently...

I didn't recognize what a powerful

tool you can be in the right hands.

I thought you were

simply a pawn.

Turns out you're a far more

significant piece.

And it would be witless of me

not to use that to my advantage,

given how effectively

you've been used against me.

Hail to the king!

There's the king.

Something doesn't smell right.

This is too easy.

Wait. Wait, wait.

Don't fire.

Why not?

Something doesn't smell right.

It smells as right

as it's ever going to smell.

Come on, he's right there.

Bill! Get on with it!

It's a trap.

How would he know?

Don't know.

Maggie.

Maybe he knows

she's working for us.

I am telling you.

That is not the king.

Stop looking around

and look at me.

I'm a target, aren't I?

God help us.

They've sent me a buffoon.

You are a cunning

old bastard, Vortigern.

But what you fail to understand

is that it's you

who's fed the hangman

that will eventually

come for you.

You're right,

that's not Vortigern.

But at least Mercia's here.

Goosefat.

What have you done?

You can't shoot if it's a trap!

They'll never know

where that came from.

You missed him anyway.

I didn't miss anyone.

Arrow!

What are you doing?

They're not targets at a fair!

That was Clarendon.

He earned that.

You migh survive today...

But the noose has been tied.

We need to go. Now!

Now. We need

to go now.

Close the gates!

Put your arms up.

Hello, boys.

Wait, wait.

Hey, hey, hey.

Where are you going?

Stop.

Oi! Oi!

Sarge!

Hey! Stop!

F*** me.

Let's go!

I'm holding you up.

Go on without me.

No, Lack, come on.

Let's go.

No, I'll see you

at the safe house.

- I'm not leaving you!

- Just go!

There they are!

Move!

This way, this way.

Let's go!

Move! Move! Move!

Move!

Move!

Get out of the way!

Left! Go left!

Over here!

Argh!

Hey. Here.

In here. This way!

We can't stay here.

Where's Lack?

- He's making his own way.

- All right.

How's Rubio?

He's leaking, but he'll live.

We need to get

to the old bathhouse.

If I go down, you follow him.

If he goes down, you follow me.

Come on.

There's too many.

This way!

Come on!

Come on, guys!

Can you make it?

I can make it, no problem.

Over here!

Hey! Come on!

Rubio!

Come back!

Rubio!

Come on!

They need your help.

Lock the door, George.

Get the lads

out the back door, George.

It's not gonna happen, boss.

They hate the Blackleg

and love a fight.

There's too many of them.

It's not gonna happen.

They live for this.

They're gonna die, George!

They trained

their whole lives for this.

Go on.

Let go. Let go.

Come on! Move!

Fight!

Second rank!

You two, down here.

It's a straight run to the river.

You go first.

We don't have time

to argue, Bill.

Some of us will make it out in time.

Some of us won't.

Well, better some than none!

You go first.

Mike! Get down the hole.

Mike, get down the hole.

Don't like rats, boss.

Dell.

Scared of the dark.

Really?

George, will you tell them?

Sorry, boss.

Weapons!

You silly bastards.

Determined to die. Sh*t.

On my command!

I'm going down the hole now.

After you.

Blue. Blue.

Where you been, mate?

Where's my dad?

We got split up,

but he knows his way.

- I've gotta find him.

- Wait, Blue.

Your dad knows what he's doing.

He'll be back

before you know it, mate.

Wet Stick.

Blue! Blue! Blue!

Come on, boys!

Search them dwellings now!

Get through them doors!

It's not gonna be easy

getting out of here now.

You can't stay here long.

Nowhere in the city is safe.

The boat's ready.

What about

Back Lack and Blue, Art?

We'll wait until dark.

Where you been, Dad?

Catching me breath.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm all right.

Just got to get

to the safe house.

Can you make it?

I love you, mate.

Come on, let's get going.

Run!

Down with Vortigern!

It seems as though you found

a way to use the sword.

I wasn't controlling it.

Here.

It was controlling me.

I can't even remember

what happened.

I can.

Thank you.

Something's happening, you know?

Certainly sounds like it.

People have

seen what you can do.

You're no longer a myth.

You're starting

to mean something.

That wasn't the intention.

They are fighting in your name.

I don't wanna wear that.

Is that you, Blue?

Yes, boss!

Did you find your father?

He's found him!

Ah!

We need to get you out of here.

Let's get your arse

on that boat, Lack.

There's a good fog

to cover our tracks.

Come on.

I'll need a little breather.

Here, load everyone else up

and come back for me.

No, I'll stay with you.

No, you won't.

Give 'em a hand.

I'll be all right, mate.

Just give me a minute.

Come on, Blue.

You carry this.

Come on. Come on.

Come on, Blue.

Evenin'.

Pardon the intrusion.

Our dog was very keen

to lead us here.

Come on.

Shall I pick him up, Sarge?

No, follow him.

The blood

he followed was from a man

who killed

one of my sergeants today.

A man who fled the scene

of an assassination attempt

on me.

On me, no less.

You wouldn't happen to know

where that man is, would you?

I can't.

Get in the boat, Blue.

I'll get your dad.

I can't leave him!

Have a look at this situation,

would ya?

The king of all England himself

has made the effort

to visit a commoner.

A man from nowhere.

And today, my last day.

You look well

and I feel poor.

But who would I rather be?
