Taken? Taken where?
A boat, sire. From the north gate into the forest.
l have scouts and dogs out already. Give me a battalion of guards.
- Give me the men. - No, thatīs exactly what he wants.
- Take one brigade, now! - Sire.
Heīll not harm her. sire. Sheīs too vaIuable.
- Heīll try to trade her first. - Thatīs what līm afraid of.
līd give my life for her. But what if he asks for more?
Welcome to my palace ... My Lady.
l think we can release the lady from her bonds.
lf she so wishes.
Whatīs this? Your dress is torn. Ralph ...
l gave orders that the lady was not to be harmed.
Your dress is quite spoiled.
You ...
... almost ...
... a queen.
RaIph. Did you do this?
- Yes, My Prince. - You see?
This is what Arthur doesnīt understand.
Men donīt want brotherhood. they want leadership.
Shall we?
This was once the greatest castle ever built.
Now grass grows in the halls where kings once feasted, -
- and peasants cart away the walls to make shelters for their pigs.
- Such is glory. - What do you mean to do with me?
Keep you till Arthur becomes reasonable.
He wonīt trade Leonesse for my life. līd rather die. Arthur knows that.
Self-sacrifice is very easy.
But sacrificing someone you love puts your convictions to the test.
līm sure Arthur will come round to the merits of compromise.
This is called an oubliette.
Thatīs French for a place of forgetting.
Your quarters, My Lady. No gates, no bars, no locks.
Just walls of air.
You can come out!
līm unarmed and alone!
- Who are you? - A messenger from the King.
- He came alone? - Yes, My Prince.
- What is your message? - ls Lady Guinevere unharmed?
Sheīs unharmed. l give you my word.
- l need to see it with my own eyes. - My word isnīt good enough?
līm a common man. l donīt have much use for words.
He does have a message. Take him to the pit, then bring him back Here.
give me a chance to finish my food.
- Youīve seen her. Letīs go. - No.
- l still have a message to deliver. - AlI right. Weīll drag you back.
Jump on! Jump!
Come on! Jump!
lf the water can get out, so can we. Come on.
No! Hold on!
Shoot!
Why have we stopped?
- līm tired. - Never.
You battle in your dreams.
- What are you doing? - Youīll see.
Now. drink.
Again.
- Where did you learn to do that? - l lived most of my life outdoors.
Donīt you have a home?
No. l donīt have a home. Not for a long time.
- That must be hard. - Why must it be?
Iīm my own master. l go where l please.
Why build a house for the warlords to burn?
ls that how it happened?
God save you from such a day.
How old were you?
Mother!
Father!
lt was long ago.
- God save us all from such a day. - He didnīt save me.
- Ah. but he did. - For what?
ltīs made you who you are.
A man who fears nothing and no one.
You can use that gift. lf not, you might as welI have died.
You donīt know how many times līve wished for that.
But you didnīt die. You lived.
- Tell me what to do. - Your life is your own.
l give it to you.
You forget līm to be married.
lf you could freely do as you pleased, would you marry Arthur?
- l am free. As free as you are. - Prove it.
- How? - Forget who you are.
Let all the world go away ... and all the people in it, but us.
Do what you want to do.
Here. Now.
There she is!
Thank you, God.
Thank you.
Thank you. You can go. You must have better things to do.
You have given me back my life. l can at least give you your shirt.
- Tell me what you want. ltīs yours. - l did what any man would do.
You risked your life for another. There is no greater love.
You have deceived me. But now ... l know the truth.
You care nothing for yourself. No wealth, no home, no goal, -
-just the passionate spirit that drives you on.
God uses people like you.
Because your heart is open, you give all of yourself.
lf you knew me better, you wouldnīt say such things.
l take the good with the bad.
I canīt love people in slices. Now, no more protests.
Let me thank you in my own way.
They are welcoming you back.
We owe Lady Guinevereīs life to one man.
Lancelot.
l believe he comes to Camelot for a purpose, -
- even though he doesnīt know it himself.
What līm about to offer this man is already his.
One seat stands empty.
- Youīd make him a knight, sire? - l offer no life of priviIege.
ltīs a life of service. lf you want it, itīs yours.
- We donīt know anything about him. - Perhaps we should discuss ...
Enough! What do you say? Will you join us?
My Lord, if l may speak?
l owe this man more than anyone here.
He deserves any honour you can give him.
But he doesnīt belong in Camelot. Heīs a man who goes his way alone.
ln that freedom and solitude is his strength.
lf you wish to honour him, as l do, with alI my heart, -
- Ietīs honour him as he is.
Let him go, alone and free ... and with our love.
Well ... Lancelot?
Lady Guinevere understands me well.
But here, among you, -
- l have found something that l want more than freedom.
lt would break my heart to leave you.
Bravo! Then youīll join us?
- Yes. - Welcome.
This is only the beginning. Go pass this night in prayer, -
- for tomorrow youīll be born again, into a new life.
- Why? - You know why.
- Please leave Camelot. - l want to be where you are.
You must not say such things to me. Say nothing.
l will leave Camelot now. if you come with me.
- No. - Then tell me you donīt love me.
l donīt love you.
Arise. Sir Lancelot.
Brother to brother. yours in life and death.
Brother to brother. yours in life and death ...
l swear to love and serve Guinevere. my true and rightful queen.
l swear to love and serve Guinevere. and to protect her honour as my own.
Jacob ...
Forgive me, milady. Black Malagant has taken Leonesse.
Leonesse ...
The gates are open.
- Make camp for the night. - Where. sire?
There.
ltīs too exposed. sire. We could never possibly defend it.
Sire.
Theyīre not here.
Thereīs no one here!
Draw!
Loose!
Charge!
Attack!
- Archers in position, sire. - Hold position.
- Their left wing is falling back. - Second battalion to the left!
ls our centre holding? Charge!
- Theyīre breaking, sire. - Do not give chase.
- First battalion regrouped, sire. - Sound the advance.
- Theyīre running. Do we follow? - No. Let them go.
On to Leonesse!
Well done.
Your sword ... Sir Lancelot.
No!
- Come out. - Theyīre alive.
Youīre safe. Donīt be afraid.
Weīre glad youīre safe.
Thereīs a step. Be careful.
God bless you, sir.
līm so old now ...
Can l go home now?
Yes. Yes, you can go home now.
Bless you, milady.
Elise ...
līve come to say goodbye, and wish you well.
ltīs been a long night. Youīve not slept.
- Where will you go? - Wherever the road leads.
When shall we see you again?
l donīt think līll be coming back.
Never?
Never.
I know what l must do now.
l never believed in anything before. But l do believe in Camelot.
And l will serve it best by leaving.
Tell the King, līll always remember that he saw the best in me.
And what shall l tell myself?
There was once a man who loved you too much to change you.
līll not forget him.
l sheltered under a tree with him once ... in the rain.
Lancelot ...
- My Queen. - l owe you a kiss.
līm asking you.
Why?
The King asks for you, milady.
l ask you not to lie to me, even if you think youīll hurt me.
- Have you given yourself to him? - No, My Lord.
Do you love him?
Yes.
- How did l fail you? - Youīve never failed me, My Lord.
l saw your face as you kissed him.
Love has many faces. l look on you differentIy, but not with less love.
When a woman loves tWo men. she must choose betWeen them.
- l choose you. - Your will chooses me.
- Your heart chooses him. - My will is stronger than my heart.
Do you think l put so high a price on my feelings? TheyīlI pass.
My will holds me to my course through life.
As mine does me, and yet, all l have to do is look at you -
- and everything l ever believed in fades to nothing.
- All l want is your love. - You have it.
Do l? Then look on me as you looked on him.
l gave one moment to Lancelot.
Yes, youīre innocent. But you love him!
Any more of this innocence and līll go mad.
- līll do whatever you tell me to. - l donīt know what to think.
l no longer see my way ahead.
Only fools dream of the one thing they canīt have.
Forgive me.
Whatīs to forgive?
l dreamed the dream of you.
lt was a sweet dream ...
... while it lasted.
- Unlock the door. - Sire.
- My Lord? - līll ask the questions.
Did you come to Camelot to betray me?
- No, My Lord. - You desired her. You pursued her.
- The Queen is innocent. - lnnocent?
l saw her in your arms. l trusted you, and you betrayed me.
- l never meant to hurt you. - You leave me nothing! Nothing!
You will be charged with treason. Defend yourself in court.
The law will judge you!
May God grant us the wisdom to discover the right, -
- and the strength to make it endure.
Amen.
l was mistaken in Lancelot. As a man, l may forgive ...
As a king, l must see justice done.
There will be a trial tomorrow. in the great square.
- ln the great square? - Letīs settle the matter privately.
You think the honour of Camelot is a private matter?
Am l to hide in dark corners as if līm ashamed?
Open the gates. l want everyone there.
Let every citizen see that the law rules in Camelot.
Guinevere, Lady of Leonesse, Queen of Camelot. -
- and Lancelot. Knight of the High Council, -
- are charged in their own persons, and in collusion. -
- with dishonour to the realm. and violation of the Kingīs rights.
These crimes constitute an act of treason against Camelot, -
- and the penalty under law is death.
- Sir Lancelot may speak. - My words are for the King alone.
My Lord. The Queen is innocent.
But if my life, or my death, -
- serves Camelot. Take it.
Do what you like with me.
Brother to brother. yours in life and death.
ls it the Kingīs wish that the Queen be questioned?
May God forgive me.
Is it the Kingīs wish that the Queen be questioned?
- Who goes there? - Who goes there?
Guards!
Close the gates!
Nobody move or Arthur dies!
My men control the city gates.
On every roof, l have men with burning torches!
l have only to lift my arm, and your golden city burns to ashes.
l am the law now! You obeyed Arthur. Now, obey me.
My people are unarmed, Malagant.
lf itīs me you want, here l am.
Look at him! Look at the great King Arthur of Camelot.
Heīs a man waking up from a dream.
The strong rule the weak! Thatīs how your God made the world.
He makes us strong only for a while, so we can help each other.
My God makes me strong so I can live my life!
Arthur says, īīServe one another.īī When will you live your own lives?
This is the freedom l bring you! Freedom from his tyrannical dream!
Freedom from his tyrannical law! Freedom from his tyrannical God!
l want your people to see you kneel before me here.
Kneel before me. or die.
Too proud, Arthur? Do you think you serve your people better dead?
l have no pride left in me.
What l do now. l do for my people, and for Camelot.
And may they forgive me.
This is my last act as your king.
Do not be afraid.
All things change.
l am Arthur of Camelot.
l command you now, all ...
... to fight! Fight! Like youīve never fought before!
No!
- Camelot lives! - Burn everything!
No! Be careful!
Come on!
Sword!
Camelot will never fall to the tyranny of Malagant!
- ls there no more we can do? - līm sorry.
- Lancelot ... - Yes, My Lord?
- Whereīs my sword? - Here.
My truest ... my First Knight.
Camelot is your home now.
You are the future ... The future of Camelot.
You take care of her for me. Take care of her.
l feel it now, my love.
The sunlight.
ltīs in your eyes.
