On your knees, seed of evil
You have stolen our lands and killed our sons
You have defiled our daughters
I curse you!
The Romans who came here many years ago
where did they go?
In the great woods
beyond the snowy mountains
there is a man who can tell you what you want to know
Why are you looking for me?
Who are you?
I am Esca
son of Cunoval
slain Chief of the Brigantes
Who is it you talk to in the Roman tongue?
My slave
It's true
Their god marks them all with the same scar
My father would like to see such a slave
You will be my guest
You must teach your slave not to talk to you as he does
We will help you
The hunting was good?
It was good, father
You wish me to eat these people too?
I bring a guest, Esca
Eldest son to Cunoval, slain Chief of the Brigantes
And his slave
a Roman
Does the slave have a name?
I have brought many Romans back to my village
But never with a head attached to their body
You are welcome, Esca son of Cunoval
Come, eat with us
Show him where to go
Here comes the Roman slave!
A Roman, can you believe it?
Why are you here?
I came north to be free of Rome
My heart hunts for a place to be free
I tricked the Roman
to help me get here
You!
Take your eyes off her, slave!
What is it?
He was looking at my sister
All Romans are savages
I have seen what they do to their prisoners
Such people are not to be trusted
If it please you
kill him
No
You are my guest
and he is your property
As long as you trust him
he lives
Listen!
Do you hear the sound?
Do you hear your heart beating?
Feel the fire in your belly
Drink
It is time to celebrate
our young men becoming warriors!
Traitor!
Just another dead Roman
The coward knelt and begged for his life
Are you leaving?
Yes
Can I go with you?
Go back to your family
My father will be angry
You tell him
when he wakes
that Esca's sorry but he has to go now
Not until he wakes, yes?
They've gone?
They've gone!
Split up!
This is what happens to those who betray their own people!
