What do you want, kid?

Who's this young man?

I'm the cleaner, sir.

Who's he to you?

Never seen him before.

I usually come in

later, you know,

do the dishes

when they're all gone.

Is that the truth?

Yes, sir.

I'd never lie to a Blackleg.

Good boy.

So you don't know him?

No, sir.

Then you wouldn't mind

if I cut his ears off?

They're not my ears.

Do what you want with them.

No!

Always wanted a boy.

Argh!

You bastard!

Leave him alone!

Now I repeat,

where's your friend?

Let him go.

Let him go.

Take the boy and...

No!

No!

Crush the Resistance tonight!

Archers!

Let me show you

what your uncle will do

if you do not accept

this sword.

Only you can prevent this.

He must be met

where sword meets tower.

Trust the Mage.

Take it.

Apparently you have

something to tell me.

I suppose you wanna know

what happened to me.

I don't wanna push you, but...

George?

Riots are spreading.

Not just in Londinium.

Across the whole country.

People are fighting for you.

If there was

ever a chance, it's now.

It's not going to last.

But, like he said,

we're not going to push you.

I'm ready.

We're gonna take the castle.

And we're going

in the front door.

George, I need you

to go to Londinium, gather the lads.

Where's the Mage?

She's back at the cave.

All right.

Now, when you say we're

going to take the castle,

what does that mean?

I thought you said

you weren't gonna push me.

Come on, lads.

Chop, chop.

Blue!

Blue!

Blue!

Hello!

You took your time getting here.

I'm not gonna hear

the end of this from my wife.

It was my turn to cook tonight.

I've been sent by His Majesty

to deliver a message.

Let's think...

"Be at the castle before dark

"if you wanna see

the girl and the boy

"alive".

I would love to stay and chat,

but you do understand

the situation

between me and my wife.

Anything that you do to me

will be repaid 10 times in kind.

Now, you're a big man.

Now, let's see you move.

Evening.

So, where is he?

He's a day's ride from here.

As soon as she's safe,

he will come.

He poses no threat to you

without the sword.

Tomorrow.

I don't have to remind you

of what will happen

if he doesn't come.

I'll start with the little boy.

Now, take the girl and go.

This venom will induce

that which is hidden from you.

It will show you things

you do not want to see.

But you'll need its protection.

Hold my hand.

I don't like snakes.

No one likes snakes.

Stay with me.

Stay with me.

You will feel it

for a few hours.

Young man came

from hunting faint and weary

What does ail My Lord,

my dearie?

O brother dear,

let my bed be made

For I feel the gripe

of the woody nightshade

This young man,

he died fair soon

By the light

of the hunters' moon

'Twas not by bone

Nor yet by blade

Oh, the berries

of the woody nightshade

Oh, father dear,

lie heavy safe

From the power

that the devil made

Made

That's far enough.

Let's get this done

quickly, shall we?

Put him on his knees.

Put him on his knees!

Go, go, go!

You know the price.

Father, what's happening?

Leave.

Why is there blood on your face?

What's going on?

Father, you're scaring me.

Oh!

I love you very much.

Come on!

Charge!

You have won, nephew.

You have won.

Now, play with me.

Ah!

Ah!

I think that sword

belongs to me now.

Run, son!

Brother...

I think that sword

belongs to me now.

Whatever price you paid,

it will be more than you know.

You don't need to run anymore.

You don't need to look away.

The sword is yours, son.

Take it.

You wanted to know

what gave me such drive.

It was you.

You put me in that brothel.

You cut me on the streets.

I am here now because of you.

You

created me.

And, for that...

I bless you.

You make sense of the devil.

Nock!

Light!

Ready!

Loose!

While I understan

there's been a change

in the leadership

of this nation...

I am confident that you will

still honor the agreement

made by your predecessor

and my king.

We expect to leave here

with 10,000 young men as agreed.

Yeah, I don't think so, mate.

Excuse me?

I said, "I don't think so, mate".

We've been wondering

what you were doing in here.

I like it.

What is it?

Yes, what is it?

A carousel?

A giant wheel of cheese?

What are you

supposed to do with it?

I know.

It's a dance floor.

And once you finish it

how are you supposed

to get to the middle?

But how did you get it

through the door?

Did you carry it in?

Or did you roll it in?

May I remind you

a fleet of 3,000 longships

controlling the seas,

surrounding your island.

It would be unwise

to displease my king.

I'm sorry.

George, Wet Stick,

Percy, on your knees.

Sir Bedivere, if you would?

I'm prepared to extend

the deadline by a week.

No.

I mean, I'm sorry.

You've made a mistake.

You're no longer

dealing with the man

you previously met.

You are addressing England

and all the subjects

under her king's protection.

Arise, Sir George.

So you have a choice.

You can now kneel to England...

Arise, Sir Tristan.

Or I'll step off this throne,

and you can deal with me

as the man you previously met.

Arise, Sir Percival.

And we can see how that goes.

Sir William.

If you would?

It would be my honor.

Well, now that's out the way,

let's eat.

Why have enemies

when you can have friends?

Arise, my king.

King Arthur.

It's a table.

You sit at it.

Long live the King!

Long live the King!
