I'm not moving.

[ Man Narrating .]
| Long ago, | at the edge of the known world, the last Celtic tribes | were fighting for survival.
Europe had fallen | to the Romans, and this remote | and untamed island was the final stronghold | of the ancient ways.

[ Gweneth Laughs .]
| [ Woman .]
| Come with me.
[ Gweneth Gasps .]
| The last time I slapped eyes on you, what a beautiful head of hair | you had! Still do.
| But no enemy can grab this.
Oh, uh, this is Derek's son, Conor.
- Derek? | - Conor.
I know.
But your eyes- He's better looking | than his da.
- Come on.
| - In his dreams.
maybe.
My girl Edain.
| Step up.
Edain.
It's rude to hide.
He won't bite.
A score ofharvests, more, | since the last time you were here.
Aye, the time of the third flood.
| But who's counting? Me.
| Why is everyone so friendly? You'd think we were here | to rob 'em.
Ah.
you know.
| They're just farmers.
- Why are you here? | - We've come to bury my family where my father was born.
Where his ancestors rest.
[ Conor .]
| Just beyond that rise.
So why is everyone so nervous? I guess.
these dangerous times.
[ Seagulls Mewing .]
| [ Waves Crashing .]
[ Longinus .]
| Be gone.
| [ Woman .]
Yes.
sir.
[ Door Closes .]
- I'm leaving.
Longinus.
| - I can see that.
I'm not staying.
So.
what are you going to do? Head to the harbor? | Sail with the sunrise? Or maybe go with the enemy? Think they'd have you? I vote ship.
But to where? You're not welcome in Rome- | not really.
And the world | is a trap these days.
Well.
I don't need you | to get through it.
I agree.
See how you do without me.
| [ Chuckles .]
I don't need you.
Longinus.
Well.
until you've been | without me.
you'll never know.
[ Door Slams .]
Why have these graves | been left so unattended? [ Groans .]
| We're farmers.
Conor.
Most people believe a warlord's | family grave site isn't our business.
Derek didn't make war.
| He wanted to unite the tribes.
I understand.
| It was here.
Conor.
standing with your ancestors, | your father saw our future.
Hundreds of tribes working as one.
| [ Chuckles .]
What's life without a little risk? [ Chuckles .]
| [ Groans .]
What's life without a little rest? The more days I see.
| the faster they come.
I can't keep up.
Won't get any easier next life | if you give up in this one.
Derek wouldn't mind | if I told a story, would he? I don't think so.
Your father asked me.
| when he was your age.
to marry him.
Him? And you? | Aye.
Aye.
But you're planning one thing | and another happens.
I was young.
| wanted something better.
I married up | to the boot maker's boy.
And two days before I said no | to your da.
a man came through our village | setting out to make his fortune- this rough one.
Your da bumped into him, | and they left.
Fergus became his champion.
| and your da became a king.
Everyone remembers your da.
[ Horse Whinnies, Approaches .]
This the man from the council? It's Morgan.
| He's fast with their answer.
[ Horse Whinnies .]
| Morgan.
Conor- Derek's son.
[ Horse Blusters .]
| You have news.
The council rejects | your request for burial.
Seven generations of my father's blood | lie under that stone.
I will not leave without him buried.
Conor.
I wanted to tell you.
There have been other stories | about your father.
Gweneth.
return to the village.
[ Horse Blusters .]
This valley is under the protection | of Longinus now.
Everyone here knows | of your hatred for him, and nobody sides with you.
Edain, what exactly | has Longinus said about us? Well.
you know.
| What everybody knows.
How you ran-you and your da.
Ran? From what? It's just the story I heard, but the night your family died.
| you and your da ran out.
They caught Derek.
| and you escaped.
That's a lie.
| Anyone says it.
a liar.
And he was drunk.
I'm just telling what people believe.
Look.
you don't know me.
| but you must know what Longinus is.
Since Longinus.
| no one has attacked our village.
- Sooner or later.
he will exact a price.
| - He's not human.
girl.
He told us you would say that.
Sweet Bridget.
[ Waves Crashing .]
[ Chattering .]
ö[ Celtic Folk In Distance .]
Your father said | I watered my liquor.
Doesn't seem weak to me.
Your da thought he was better | than the rest of us.
He left.
Never looked back.
He planned to unite | this valley with others.
[ Scoffs .]
| Planning.
Doing.
Two different things.
He never got the chance.
'Cause he ran out of time.
| Or he just ran.
Longinus stained my name- | and my family.
I will prove him a liar.
| A liar? Really? That's my father's ring.
The day you kiss it.
it's yours.
All of you- I gave you everything.
and you've betrayed me- [ Crowd Murmuring .]
| outright.
I warned you about this man | and his family.
This village was going to be | an example of what I can give.
Well.
now it's time to take.
This valley will be destroyed.
| [ Crowd Murmuring .]
[ Man .]
| Please.
! | Daybreak tomorrow.
anyone here dies with the village.
[ Crowd Gasping, Murmuring .]
And you will be the first to burn.
Longinus is a liar.
Together we can hold him off | until reinforcements come.
[ Man #1 .]
| If they come.
Those coming to help | used to be just like you.
How do we know | you'll be here | when Longinus shows? [ Man #2 .]
| Aye.
How do we know? | Some of you knew my father.
You know he didn't run.
I won't either.
| We'll all die! And for what? His family? He's already cost us our village.
I put my trust in this man.
If we don't risk dying with him, | we'll live like cowards.
I don't want my children | to remember that.
If we're living, | we can build another town.
Best think of that.
So now we turn farmers into fighters? Gwen.
I need someone I can trust | to ride for help.
I'll do it.
Just because everyone's | siding against us | doesn't mean we're wrong.
You didn't have to bring | my ma into this.
She's helping 'cause she wants to.
Why don't you just go? | There's your horse.
| Saddle it up.
Leave.
That's what Longinus wants.
- Right.
He has it all planned.
| - Gweneth.
Ride hard.
By tomorrow's daybreak.
| our sentries will approach you.
Show them this.
The people of our meadow will be | working the fields east of here.
They'll be easy to find.
| Thank you for riding with her.
lads.
You're doing your village proud.
The name of Derek | can still rouse hearts.
Fergus.
Ride safely.
Gweneth.
[ Horse Whinnies .]
[ Horse Blusters .]
| I didn't say rest.
This is as far as we can go.
- What are you talking about? | - Orders from Longinus.
ma'am.
We take you this far and no farther.
You can't leave! Come back here! [ Whinnies .]
Longinus? Longinus! Take a man's good name, | he's marked.
But if you stay and fight.
| all your names will live forever.
Take a man's life away, | there's a family gonna starve | come winter.
All we have to do is hold Longinus | till help comes.
We can do it together.
It's not our fight.
[ Fergus .]
| Conor? I found some volunteers.
| I don't believe it.
I can be very persuasive | when I want to be.
You won't be sorry.
What's this then? [ Conor .]
| What happened to our people? | There are none.
Conor.
- What are you talking about? | - We got to the edge of the woods.
| met your man riding this way.
He said everyone in your meadow | had gone.
abandoned you.
- What man of mine? | - He showed your father's crown.
Remember me? | The man who gave you back your family? - [ Gasps .]
| - Don't move.
! Longinus cannot be beaten.
and I dedicate myself | to the destruction of his enemies- | as do all his soldiers.
This is my proof oflove for Longinus forever! - [ Gasps .]
| - Gweneth! [ Crowd Gasps .]
| [ Woman Screaming .]
[ Gasps .]
| [ Women Screaming .]
[ Crowd Murmuring .]
[ Diana .]
| No.
No.
Oh.
! Oh, no, no, no.
[ Grunting .]
[ Chattering .]
[ Man .]
| Come on.
[ Chattering Continues .]
| [ Cattle Lowing .]
[ Door Creaks .]
Why did I go and put new thatch? Always on the move.
warriors are.
| Farmers stay put.
That's the way of things- | until the warriors pass through again.
[ Clicks Tongue .]
| [ Horse Whinnies .]
I'm surprised how little | there was to take | after all this time.
When this is over.
I'll find you.
| And you will have your home again.
Conor.
you should go too.
| Gwen.
I'm staying.
I won't let Longinus | take my good name.
[ Horses Trotting .]
- [ Liquid Sloshing .]
| - Fergus.
it's my time to lead.
That's the spirit.
| What's your plan? Do you agree | that I'm in command? Of course.
What are you thinking.
boy? [ Both Grunt .]
I order you to leave.
You order me.
do you? I have to stand against Longinus.
| but you don't have to die.
Well.
I appreciate what you're offering.
| but I'm not leaving.
This isn't your fight.
| It was my family he killed.
They were my family too.
I won't cause your death.
[ Chuckles .]
Go on.
| [ Grunts .]
The gods bring death.
not you.
Your father told me once- He said.
"You know | how to make the gods laugh? - You tell them your plans.
'' | - Meaning? Longinus has a plan.
| You have a plan.
But neither one of you knows | what'll really happen.
You'll not stay here to die.
With all these preparations.
| I could take on | the 20 soldiers myself- alone.
Don't you understand, old man? | You've helped all you can.
| Shut up.
Damn you.
Fergus! You can't make me go.
| There's an end to it.
Now leave me alone.
| I'm through arguing with you.
I don't need | your protection anymore.
| You don't have to follow me.
You seem to be headed | my direction.
| Oh.
you're daft! Look who's talking.
Well.
go ahead.
| You first.
[ Chuckles .]
[ Chuckles .]
Do you know | what I was just remembering? - What? | - That song.
You know the one.
My mother's song? | Aye.

- [ Door Closes .]
| - [ Diana Exhales .]
[ Conor .]
And look what we got here.
| [ Fergus .]
| Looks like she dug her way in.
Spying on us, are you, wench? You're a bit far away | from your pillows and perfumes.
I'm traveling.
He kicked you out.
[ Chuckles .]
| The old monster kicked you out.
[ Both Laughing .]
[ Fergus Laughing .]
| I chose to leave Longinus.
Right.
I need a horse and cart.
You won't find | anything like that here- | not anymore.
You people like to trade.
don't you? - I propose a deal.
| - What? I need your help | to get to Benmore Head.
There's a ship coming, | and I want to be on it.
I have all sorts of information- things you'd be better off knowing.
Now you're a spy for us? | It's a simple bargain.
I know that Longinus | wants you to run.
Tell us something useful.
How many men does he have? He left with 20 troopers.
What's to stop you going back | to Longinus when he's more | to your liking? Or the other way around.
| Aye.
I don't think that's going to happen.
You're out to make mischief.
| aren't you.
wench? I say we put her where we can | keep an eye on her.
I say she leaves.
Hmm? [ Fergus Chuckles .]
| You will regret this day.
I already regret it.
Now she's all alone.
Aye.
So are we.
Even if we bury them.
| you know Longinus will dig them up.
At least we will have done it.
Aye.
[ Door Opens, Closes .]
[ Horses Whinnying .]
[ Chattering .]
[ Man .]
| Hey, brother.
All quiet out there? | Very quiet.
Very quiet.
chief.
You're certain only two | remain in the village? Like rabbits in a pot.
[ Rustling .]
[ Grunting .]
That's good.
Aye.
[ Both Sigh .]
Did you know right away | that you and Da would ride together? No.
but some people | say things are decided | up there in the stars.
When I met Derek, | that's how it felt.
[ Chuckles .]
| First thing.
we shared a cup.
A cup? Right.
A barrel.
| Aye.
Aye.
Talked all night.
| Next day and night too- | talking and laughing.
[ Chuckles.
Sighs .]
Fresh the next morning.
| he asked Gwen to marry him.
By noon.
we were on our way.
On your way to this moment.
| Aye.
To right now.
| True enough.
[ Rustling .]
[ Men Chattering .]
[ Groaning .]
[ Noose Tightens .]
| [ Bones Cracking .]
[ Laughing, Chattering .]
[ Man #1 .]
| Glad to share with you.
| [ Man #2 Laughs .]
[ Chattering .]
[ Laughing .]
| [ Conor .]
| Hey, save some for me.
Hmm.
Oh.
it's a thirsty night.
Wise choice.
[ Gulps.
Sighs .]
This local juice | would set gods back on their heels.
[ Clears Throat .]
Heard what they're saying | about the two up in the village? That they're worms' meat? | [ Man Chuckles .]
They're not ordinary.
What do you mean? Up in Doon they killed 40 men.
Seasoned veterans.
I don't believe it.
| Some say they're wizards.
I don't remember your face.
New recruit.
Let's test your allegiance.
[ Grunts .]
[ Grunting.
Groaning .]
[ Horses Whinnying.
Blustering .]
[ Chief.]
| You four surround the perimeter.
| The rest of us, inside.
We find them and secure the walls.
Nothing here, chief.
Look around the side of that.
Easy.
Keep your eyes open.
All clear over here.
Down this hole.
[ Men Chattering .]
Check under that wagon over here.
! There's no one.
| [ Creaking .]
[ Men Chattering .]
Give me a hand.
! Come on.
| Help me over here now.
Nothing.
Deserted.
sir.
| There's no sign of them.
[ Men Shouting .]
Look out.
! | [ Men Shouting .]
Come on.
! | Be careful.
! Don't open it.
! Anytime now, Conor.
Come on.
lad! Go! | [ Screams .]
| [ Screams .]

[ Grunting.

Shouting .]
| - Come on.
! Come on.
boy.
| Back inside.
- [ Men Shouting .]
| - Come on.
! [ Shouting Continues .]
Fall back.
We'll wait for daybreak.
They're going to take | the night from us.
And I was just getting | used to this.
[ Branch Snaps, Rustling .]
[ Diana .]
| Ow.
[ Grunting .]
- Oh.
thank goodness.
| - Who are you? [ Sighs .]
| I'm your queen.
Oh! What are you doing out here? I'm traveling.
Is it true you have a hearth | in every room? How would you like to see | for yourself? There's a kind man there.
| You'd like him.
Tell him- Tell him you helped me.
Show him this.
You share the hill fort | with Longinus.
don't you? What do you want | besides our food? I've got to get to Benmore Head.
- Well.
I can help.
| - Good.
You can carry my trunk.
That? To Benmore? And I'm in a hurry.
| I have to be there by sunup.
Well.
we could walk there by dawn.
| but not dragging that.
Together we could do it.
| Oh.
even with three- Is that the kind of example | a great lady sets? [ Sighing .]
[ Footsteps .]
House to house.
| First man to draw blood | gets a gold coin.
[ Groans .]
- As long as it's not a Roman coin.
| - Get him! [ Men Shouting .]
- [ Chief.]
Faster! | - [ Men Shouting .]
Look out over here.
! [ Gasps .]
Over there.
! Over there.
! [ Men Shouting .]
[ Blade Stabs .]
| [ Gasps .]
[ Men Shouting .]
See anything? | No, nothing.
Try over there.
[ Groans .]
Go on over here.
! | Try behind that building.
! [ Both Panting .]
I always wondered | what this would be like.
| What? When I die.
| I'm not planning to die today.
If you want to find out- | [ Rustling Overhead .]
[ Man .]
| All right.
Stay with me now.
[ Men Chattering .]
[ Man Groans .]
- [ Groans .]
| - [ Grunts .]
[ Grunting.
Groaning .]
[ Groans .]
[ Longinus .]
| Enough.
[ Gasping .]
| Now you will die.
Prince.
None of your family will rest in peace- not as long as I live.
[ Gasps.
Groans .]
[ Groans.
Gasps .]
[ Grunts .]
| [ Gasping .]
No! What's it gonna be? You can go.
Tell everyone you meet.
Tell them about what happened here- who ran.
who stayed.
| did what they had to do.
You tell it.
[ Breathing Heavily .]
Stop.
! Wait.
please! Please wait! I'm coming with you.
! I hope you sink! Bastards! Two years | on this godforsaken island.
and this is all I have to show for it? Take it! Take it all! I'm through! You've kicked the wrong queen.
This is my home now.
I won't crumble.
I won't.
This coast will go before I do.
Remember that.
Because when you come back.
| I'll be here.
I'll be here to welcome you.
| I swear it.
I swear it on my bones! Conor? [ Stone Clinks .]
Let's finish what we came here to do.
[ Stones Clinking .]

Then why won't you tell me | where we're going? Because you won't like it.
| Now come on.
Still as stone.
or down you go.
I'm not moving.

it's yours.
All of you- I gave you everything.
and you've betrayed me- [ Crowd Murmuring .]
| outright.
I warned you about this man | and his family.
This village was going to be | an example of what I can give.
Well.
now it's time to take.
This valley will be destroyed.
| [ Crowd Murmuring .]
[ Man .]
| Please.
! | Daybreak tomorrow.
anyone here dies with the village.
[ Crowd Gasping, Murmuring .]
And you will be the first to burn.
Longinus is a liar.
Together we can hold him off | until reinforcements come.
[ Man #1 .]
| If they come.
Those coming to help | used to be just like you.
How do we know | you'll be here | when Longinus shows? [ Man #2 .]
| Aye.
How do we know? | Some of you knew my father.
You know he didn't run.
I won't either.
| We'll all die! And for what? His family? He's already cost us our village.
I put my trust in this man.
If we don't risk dying with him, | we'll live like cowards.
I don't want my children | to remember that.
If we're living, | we can build another town.
Best think of that.
So now we turn farmers into fighters? Gwen.
I need someone I can trust | to ride for help.
I'll do it.
Just because everyone's | siding against us | doesn't mean we're wrong.
You didn't have to bring | my ma into this.
She's helping 'cause she wants to.
Why don't you just go? | There's your horse.
| Saddle it up.
Leave.
That's what Longinus wants.
- Right.
He has it all planned.
| - Gweneth.
Ride hard.
By tomorrow's daybreak.
| our sentries will approach you.
Show them this.
The people of our meadow will be | working the fields east of here.
They'll be easy to find.
| Thank you for riding with her.
lads.
You're doing your village proud.
The name of Derek | can still rouse hearts.
Fergus.
Ride safely.
Gweneth.
[ Horse Whinnies .]
[ Horse Blusters .]
| I didn't say rest.
This is as far as we can go.
- What are you talking about? | - Orders from Longinus.
ma'am.
We take you this far and no farther.
You can't leave! Come back here! [ Whinnies .]
Longinus? Longinus! Take a man's good name, | he's marked.
But if you stay and fight.
| all your names will live forever.
Take a man's life away, | there's a family gonna starve | come winter.
All we have to do is hold Longinus | till help comes.
We can do it together.
It's not our fight.
[ Fergus .]
| Conor? I found some volunteers.
| I don't believe it.
I can be very persuasive | when I want to be.
You won't be sorry.
What's this then? [ Conor .]
| What happened to our people? | There are none.
Conor.
- What are you talking about? | - We got to the edge of the woods.
| met your man riding this way.
He said everyone in your meadow | had gone.
abandoned you.
- What man of mine? | - He showed your father's crown.
Remember me? | The man who gave you back your family? - [ Gasps .]
| - Don't move.
! Longinus cannot be beaten.
and I dedicate myself | to the destruction of his enemies- | as do all his soldiers.
This is my proof oflove for Longinus forever! - [ Gasps .]
| - Gweneth! [ Crowd Gasps .]
| [ Woman Screaming .]
[ Gasps .]
| [ Women Screaming .]
[ Crowd Murmuring .]
[ Diana .]
| No.
No.
Oh.
! Oh, no, no, no.
[ Grunting .]
[ Chattering .]
[ Man .]
| Come on.
[ Chattering Continues .]
| [ Cattle Lowing .]
[ Door Creaks .]
Why did I go and put new thatch? Always on the move.
warriors are.
| Farmers stay put.
That's the way of things- | until the warriors pass through again.
[ Clicks Tongue .]
| [ Horse Whinnies .]
I'm surprised how little | there was to take | after all this time.
When this is over.
I'll find you.
| And you will have your home again.
Conor.
you should go too.
| Gwen.
I'm staying.
I won't let Longinus | take my good name.
[ Horses Trotting .]
- [ Liquid Sloshing .]
| - Fergus.
it's my time to lead.
That's the spirit.
| What's your plan? Do you agree | that I'm in command? Of course.
What are you thinking.
boy? [ Both Grunt .]
I order you to leave.
You order me.
do you? I have to stand against Longinus.
| but you don't have to die.
Well.
I appreciate what you're offering.
| but I'm not leaving.
This isn't your fight.
| It was my family he killed.
They were my family too.
I won't cause your death.
[ Chuckles .]
Go on.
| [ Grunts .]
The gods bring death.
not you.
Your father told me once- He said.
"You know | how to make the gods laugh? - You tell them your plans.
'' | - Meaning? Longinus has a plan.
| You have a plan.
But neither one of you knows | what'll really happen.
You'll not stay here to die.
With all these preparations.
| I could take on | the 20 soldiers myself- alone.
Don't you understand, old man? | You've helped all you can.
| Shut up.
Damn you.
Fergus! You can't make me go.
| There's an end to it.
Now leave me alone.
| I'm through arguing with you.
I don't need | your protection anymore.
| You don't have to follow me.
You seem to be headed | my direction.
| Oh.
you're daft! Look who's talking.
Well.
go ahead.
| You first.
[ Chuckles .]
[ Chuckles .]
Do you know | what I was just remembering? - What? | - That song.
You know the one.
My mother's song? | Aye.

| - [ Diana Exhales .]
[ Conor .]
And look what we got here.
| [ Fergus .]
| Looks like she dug her way in.
Spying on us, are you, wench? You're a bit far away | from your pillows and perfumes.
I'm traveling.
He kicked you out.
[ Chuckles .]
| The old monster kicked you out.
[ Both Laughing .]
[ Fergus Laughing .]
| I chose to leave Longinus.
Right.
I need a horse and cart.
You won't find | anything like that here- | not anymore.
You people like to trade.
don't you? - I propose a deal.
| - What? I need your help | to get to Benmore Head.
There's a ship coming, | and I want to be on it.
I have all sorts of information- things you'd be better off knowing.
Now you're a spy for us? | It's a simple bargain.
I know that Longinus | wants you to run.
Tell us something useful.
How many men does he have? He left with 20 troopers.
What's to stop you going back | to Longinus when he's more | to your liking? Or the other way around.
| Aye.
I don't think that's going to happen.
You're out to make mischief.
| aren't you.
wench? I say we put her where we can | keep an eye on her.
I say she leaves.
Hmm? [ Fergus Chuckles .]
| You will regret this day.
I already regret it.
Now she's all alone.
Aye.
So are we.
Even if we bury them.
| you know Longinus will dig them up.
At least we will have done it.
Aye.
[ Door Opens, Closes .]
[ Horses Whinnying .]
[ Chattering .]
[ Man .]
| Hey, brother.
All quiet out there? | Very quiet.
Very quiet.
chief.
You're certain only two | remain in the village? Like rabbits in a pot.
[ Rustling .]
[ Grunting .]
That's good.
Aye.
[ Both Sigh .]
Did you know right away | that you and Da would ride together? No.
but some people | say things are decided | up there in the stars.
When I met Derek, | that's how it felt.
[ Chuckles .]
| First thing.
we shared a cup.
A cup? Right.
A barrel.
| Aye.
Aye.
Talked all night.
| Next day and night too- | talking and laughing.
[ Chuckles.
Sighs .]
Fresh the next morning.
| he asked Gwen to marry him.
By noon.
we were on our way.
On your way to this moment.
| Aye.
To right now.
| True enough.
[ Rustling .]
[ Men Chattering .]

[ Laughing, Chattering .]
[ Man #1 .]
| Glad to share with you.
| [ Man #2 Laughs .]
[ Chattering .]
[ Laughing .]
| [ Conor .]
| Hey, save some for me.
Hmm.
Oh.
it's a thirsty night.
Wise choice.
[ Gulps.
Sighs .]
This local juice | would set gods back on their heels.
[ Clears Throat .]
Heard what they're saying | about the two up in the village? That they're worms' meat? | [ Man Chuckles .]
They're not ordinary.
What do you mean? Up in Doon they killed 40 men.
Seasoned veterans.
I don't believe it.
| Some say they're wizards.
I don't remember your face.
New recruit.
Let's test your allegiance.
[ Grunts .]
[ Grunting.
Groaning .]
[ Horses Whinnying.

[ Chief.]
| You four surround the perimeter.
| The rest of us, inside.
We find them and secure the walls.
Nothing here, chief.
Look around the side of that.
Easy.
Keep your eyes open.
All clear over here.
Down this hole.
[ Men Chattering .]
Check under that wagon over here.
! There's no one.
| [ Creaking .]
[ Men Chattering .]
Give me a hand.
! Come on.
| Help me over here now.
Nothing.
Deserted.
sir.
| There's no sign of them.
[ Men Shouting .]
Look out.

Come on.
! | Be careful.
! Don't open it.
! Anytime now, Conor.
Come on.
lad! Go! | [ Screams .]

boy.
| Back inside.
- [ Men Shouting .]
| - Come on.
! [ Shouting Continues .]
Fall back.
We'll wait for daybreak.
They're going to take | the night from us.
And I was just getting | used to this.
[ Branch Snaps, Rustling .]
[ Diana .]
| Ow.
[ Grunting .]
- Oh.
thank goodness.
| - Who are you? [ Sighs .]
| I'm your queen.
Oh! What are you doing out here? I'm traveling.
Is it true you have a hearth | in every room? How would you like to see | for yourself? There's a kind man there.
| You'd like him.
Tell him- Tell him you helped me.
Show him this.
You share the hill fort | with Longinus.
don't you? What do you want | besides our food? I've got to get to Benmore Head.
- Well.
I can help.
| - Good.
You can carry my trunk.
That? To Benmore? And I'm in a hurry.
| I have to be there by sunup.
Well.
we could walk there by dawn.
| but not dragging that.
Together we could do it.
| Oh.
even with three- Is that the kind of example | a great lady sets? [ Sighing .]
[ Footsteps .]
House to house.
| First man to draw blood | gets a gold coin.
[ Groans .]
- As long as it's not a Roman coin.
| - Get him! [ Men Shouting .]
- [ Chief.]
Faster! | - [ Men Shouting .]
Look out over here.
! [ Gasps .]
Over there.
! Over there.
! [ Men Shouting .]
[ Blade Stabs .]
| [ Gasps .]
[ Men Shouting .]
See anything? | No, nothing.
Try over there.
[ Groans .]
Go on over here.
! | Try behind that building.
! [ Both Panting .]
I always wondered | what this would be like.
| What? When I die.
| I'm not planning to die today.
If you want to find out- | [ Rustling Overhead .]
[ Man .]
| All right.
Stay with me now.
[ Men Chattering .]
[ Man Groans .]

| - [ Grunts .]
[ Grunting.
Groaning .]
[ Groans .]
[ Longinus .]
| Enough.
[ Gasping .]
| Now you will die.
Prince.
None of your family will rest in peace- not as long as I live.
[ Gasps.
Groans .]
[ Groans.
Gasps .]
[ Grunts .]
| [ Gasping .]
No! What's it gonna be? You can go.
Tell everyone you meet.
Tell them about what happened here- who ran.
who stayed.
| did what they had to do.
You tell it.
[ Breathing Heavily .]
Stop.
! Wait.
please! Please wait! I'm coming with you.
! I hope you sink! Bastards! Two years | on this godforsaken island.
and this is all I have to show for it? Take it! Take it all! I'm through! You've kicked the wrong queen.
This is my home now.
I won't crumble.
I won't.
This coast will go before I do.
Remember that.
Because when you come back.
| I'll be here.
I'll be here to welcome you.
| I swear it.
I swear it on my bones! Conor? [ Stone Clinks .]
Let's finish what we came here to do.
