[Captain yelling]
Lower away!
[Man #1] lowering!
Easy as it goes, lads!
[Man #2]
Boats down, captain.
[Captain] very good, sir.
Shore party,
stand by to board!
[Man #1]
Shore party ready.
[Captain]
Over the side then.
There you go, men.
[Man #1]
You heard the captain, lads.
Cast off!
[Man narrating]
Lo you now
of days long past,
of a time when
the world was young,
when sorcery thrived
and wild adventure
was forever in the offing.
And of this epoch,
little is known,
save that which is veiled
in the mists of legendry.
[Thunderclap]
It is within these mists
that our tale begins...
on tomb island,
a rocky crag perched...
at the far edge
of the world.
[Wind howling]
We're not to be disturbed.
Wait for us
at the boats.
Yes, your majesty.
Get on with it, witch!
[Hissing]
[Speaking
in foreign language]
A sword...
[gasps]
[Gasping continues]
[Foreign language]
[Foreign language]
[Screams]
[All screaming]
[Incantation in
foreign language continues]
[Incantation,
screaming continue]
[Wind howling]
Look!
It lives!
[Growling]
Rise.
[Growling]
Who art thou?
Titus cromwell,
king of aragon.
What is wished of me?
We need your help
in conquering ehdan.
It's the richest kingdom
in the world, and i want it.
Why dost thou crave
my services?
Thou art a king...
with an army.
[Cromwell]
Four times i've been defeated
by king richard of ehdan,
but with your help
i will be victorious.
And what wouldst
thou bestow upon me?
[Man] your life is enough.
After all, how can we
be sure a-a toad like you...
even has the power
to aid us?
[Growling]
[Growling continues]
Oh, no, dark lord.
You are my master,
my god!
[Screams]
[Whimpering,
gasping]
As thou can see,
my art is powerful.
I will allow you to live,
as long as you serve me.
Betray me,
and i will joyfully
send you back to rot in hell,
xusia of delos.
Thou shalt have thy kingdom,
and i,
i too shall have
what should be mine.
[Narrator]
A thousand leagues away,
the wondrous kingdom of ehdan
was celebrating 20 years
of peace...
and tranquility.
Once a haven
for barbaric plunder,
ehdan had been transformed
into a prospering
civilized nation...
by the wise and strong
king richard.
Richard.
Come, richard.
We mustn't keep
everyone waiting.
What troubles you?
The nightmares.
The dreams still haunt me.
What did amilius tell
you about them?
He said...
hmm.
What he said was that it's
too much of this kingly life.
[Narrator]
Unbeknownst to them all,
cromwell's armies,
aided by xusia's black sorcery,
had already stormed
across the borders of ehdan,
leaving behind
a wake of ungodly death,
disease and destruction.
King richard is finished.
Half his army lay
rotting before us.
We can now deal with
the good king without
the aid of a sorcerer.
Besides, if we don't kill
xusia now while he's
still weak from his conjuring,
we might never be
rid of him.
[Xusia]
Cromwell?
Thou has sent for me?
Why, behold our hero.
Get to the point.
I'm weary.
Well, then,
you shall sleep... forever.
[Yelling]
[Yelling continues]
[Thunderclap]
[Narrator]
Even without xusia's sorcery,
cromwell could not be stopped.
Only one army stood
between him... and the city.
[Knock on door]
Tavis! My son.
Bring a leech!
Move!
Father.
No, don't talk.
Wait for the leech.
There is no time.
[Gasping]
The eastern army
has been destroyed.
Destroyed?
Father, it's black...
[thunderclap]
Tavis.
[Gasps]
[Whispers]
Tavis.
[Crying]
Oh!
Go.
Roust duncan.
He will ride with me.
The others i leave
in your charge.
Take them and escape.
A boat awaits you
on the river.
Go now.
Quickly, malia.
Take me to battle, father.
You'll need me.
I do love you
more than life itself.
If i die,
it will fall upon you...
to avenge me.
Do you understand, talon?
I understand.
[Narrator]
And so it came to pass...
that the remnants
of richard's armies met
cromwell's black hordes...
in a final
desperate battle.
Here on the sea cliffs
of elizrah,
the fate of ehdan...
had been decided.
[Man]
Talon.
Talon.
Mogullen.
Mogullen,
where's my father?
Don't worry about the king.
The battle is lost,
and we must save the queen.
Cromwell will be
after her next.
Let's finish it.
[Yelling]
Father!
No, talon!
Listen to me.
Avenge your father
another day.
Cromwell will try to stop your
mother's escape on the river.
You must save her.
You hear?
The future of the kingdom
is in your hands.
Now go.
Go!
Go! Go!
To the boat, children.
Henry, come back!
- [Yells]
- [Screams]
Henry!
You bastard!
[Crying]
No!
No.
Oh, no!
- Mama!
- No!
[Crying]
I'll spare your daughter,
if you officially
proclaim me king.
Never!
Pull it out!
[Yells]
Malia, you fool!
No!
[Grunts]
[Groans]
[Groans]
[Yells]
[Yells]
[Grunting]
Find that boy on your lives.
Don't return without him.
I want him.
I want him.
[Grunts]
[Narrator]
For years the boy
was to be hunted,
but cromwell's assassins
found not a trace.
Talon had simply vanished
into the void.
Years passed,
and rumors began to rumble
through the outland kingdoms...
of a fearless adventurer,
a warrior who roamed
trackless deserts,
mighty mountains
and shining seas.
These rumors grew
into legends...
about this man who was
at once a buccaneer,
a slave, a rogue,
a general.
[Man yelling]
Talon!
[Narrator]
Then, just days before
the 11th anniversary...
of cromwell's victory
over king richard,
a band of mercenaries arrived
on the outskirts...
of ehdan.
[Man]
Why do we stop here, general?
I have a debt to pay.
But, sir, king lonbosha
is waiting for us at maladon.
He can wait.
[Talon]
Relax, darius.
[Darius]
I hope this isn't a mistake,
general.
Lonbosha might lose his kingdom
while we're here.
[Talon]
Then we'll win it back.
[All yelling]
[Hisses]
Out of my way, witch.
I've been summoned.
I carry a message
crucial to the final conflict.
[Growling]
I implore you
to pardon this intrusion,
lord and master.
Speak, dog.
Arrangements have been made
to crush prince mikah's
rebellion...
and to deliver alana
to cromwell for marriage.
For eight years,
i have been submerged
in the black sleep...
to heal the wounds
of cromwell's treachery.
After i slept,
i conjured.
And now i shall conquer.
In two days' time,
with the rising
of the seventh moon,
cromwell's power,
cromwell's bride...
and cromwell's flesh
shall be mine!
What do you want?
Your generals have gathered
in the war room.
They await instructions
on plans for the final conflict.
You handle it.
But, sire,
it is imperative...
it is imperative that
you obey my orders,
if you wish to live.
Yes, my lord.
Tell cromwell not to worry.
With him leading us,
we will crush the rebellion
and capture princess alana,
unless your information
about the rebels proves false,
count machelli.
[Chattering]
Take these orders,
and return to your men, rodrigo.
I will send word
as to when our rebellion begins.
Yes, prince mikah.
No animals allowed in here.
Hush, dog. Quiet.
[Chuckles]
You look like a thirsty lot.
Bring us a bucket.
A bucket, yes.
[Chuckles]
If you warriors
are looking for work,
you've come to the right place.
Why is that?
The people in ehdan
are about to rebel.
What kind of
an animal are you?
I can't quite tell.
Here, you've had
too much to drink.
Move on!
[Groaning]
Go on.
[Chuckling nervously]
As i was sayin'.
There are two bidders
for your swords:
King cromwell,
the usurper;
lord mikah,
the last legitimate heir
to the throne.
What legitimate heir?
[Innkeeper]
Mikah's father was
king richard's closest advisor.
The people believe
him and his sister to be
the rightful heirs.
[Gasps]
All is set, mikah.
Proceed as planned tomorrow.
Excellent, count.
Tomorrow the throne of ehdan
shall belong to you,
its legitimate heir.
It's ironic that
the people of ehdan should...
owe their freedom
to cromwell's war chancellor.
They will owe
me nothing, my friend.
Justice is its own reward.
You're a good man,
machelli.
I must go now.
You and i will have
no further contact.
It is no longer safe.
Machelli,
you will be well rewarded
for this.
Thank you,
your majesty.
[Chattering]
[Knock on door]
Has my sister made it
safely into the city?
Yes, my lord mikah.
The princess alana
is waiting inside.
[Door opens]
Alana.
Oh, it's good
to see you, sister.
[Whimpers] oh.
Mikah.
You're late.
Now come and have a look.
A map of the castle's
secret passages.
Alana,
how did you get this?
Cromwell's whore, elizabeth,
is partial to our cause.
She pilfered them
from cromwell himself.
- With allies like these,
how can we lose?
- Yes, but what is he plotting?
He's got all the neighboring
kings here and...
shh. Shh. It matters not.
I've just come
from speaking with machelli.
The rebellion begins tomorrow.
Spread the word.
Quickly now.
I can hardly believe it.
Tomorrow... i shall be king.
The crown will be yours.
Yes,
but i'll not wear it,
alana.
The crown...
belongs to the people.
Cromwell.
What have we here?
A nest of cobras?
There's only one snake
in ehdan, cromwell.
Is that you, alana?
I was hoping you weren't
a part of all this.
Go warn the others.
[Yelling]
[Alana screaming]
[Indistinct chatter]
[Choking]
Your rebellion...
is over!
[Groaning]
Take him.
[Gasping, choking]
[Dogs barking]
Oh, no.
Oh, yes.
[Grunts]
[Man laughing]
[Barking continues]
Now i poke you
with my dagger, huh?
Not this time, slut!
You got lucky with me
outside your den.
[Laughing]
I'm gonna mount you
like you've never been.
With what?
- [Yells]
- Oh, she's a wild one,
this one.
Let's have a look
at your goods.
No.
Hmm.
My, what have we here?
No!
Take her down.
No! No!
[Fabric tearing]
Beat it, pig, or die!
That's a small threat.
That's a very small threat.
Why, you scum!
[Yelling]
Try that again!
[Thud]
[Whimpering,
groans]
[Alana whimpering]
[Exhales]
Stop shaking.
You're safe now.
[Knock at door]
Milady.
Kalipa says...
your brother was captured
by cromwell himself.
We have to get the word out.
No attack tomorrow.
Huh? Right.
This way.
[People chattering]
[Clears throat]
In here, milady.
Dates? No beef?
As you wish.
Just a leg? Or shall
i bring the whole cow?
One leg will do.
Word is being passed.
You edhanians know good wine.
I didn't bring you here
to get drunk.
Well, why did you
bring me here?
Is your sword for hire?
It depends.
I would pay anything
for it.
Well, if the price is right,
my sword is yours.
Not so fast.
Oh, but my sword
is poised.
Nothing in life is free.
First, a task.
So what do you want?
A throat cut?
I want you
to rescue my brother.
And what am i to be paid?
Two hundred talents.
That's not what
i had in mind.
Five hundred talents.
All right.
Anything you want,
but only for one night.
So tell me, where is
this brother of yours?
[Exhales]
He's in cromwell's dungeons.
You want me to snatch
your brother...
from the king's dungeons
for one night with you?
That's a slim bounty
for such a task.
Why, you bastard!
All right.
The life of your brother
for one night with you,
but i expect my bounty
perfumed and prettied.
Milady,
50 of our people have been
trapped in skull cave...
by king cromwell's
red dragon archers.
Is there anything we can do
to help them?
No, milady.
Nothin' can save them now.
Well, we can't just sit by
while they're being butchered!
What about you?
Can you help us?
What do you take me for?
[Man]
'Tis suicide.
Quiet, craccus.
Risking his life
is his profession.
Risk, not throw away.
What's the matter?
Is your sword too small?
And what am i to be paid
for this small chore, hmm?
You're being paid enough
for 1,000 such tasks.
Oh, i can't wait
to bed you, wench.
You raise my expectation.
I'll rescue your rogues,
but first i want a taste
of your lips to send me
to my grave.
Brash hulk.
Who is he?
I don't know.
Well, at least you won't
have to pay your, uh, debt.
He won't live
to see the sun rise.
[Yells]
Out the back, milady!
Quick!
[Screaming]
Come out and live,
or stay and die.
The choice is yours.
You have five minutes
to decide.
Come, lads!
Your rebellion is over!
The king has your leader
in chains!
Give yourselves up!
You heard the jackal.
Do we fight... or surrender?
[Man]
Oil!
They're pouring oil!
[Yelling]
[All cheering]
[Man]
Get back there, scum!
Stand by for torching!
Arrows set!
[Yells]
All eyes on the cave!
Not a single rebel
is to escape!
This is your final chance!
Surrender or roast!
Ready?
Take aim!
Fire!
[Screaming]
[Rodrigo]
Everyone has come to recognize
him as the true heir.
With the prince captured,
i guess his sister alana
is the rightful heir.
It's all a bit muddled.
We farmers tend to stay
out of such affairs.
How do you plan to rescue
lord mikah, warrior?
Just get me into the castle,
and i'll think of something.
This will lead us
into the castle?
According to this map,
it will lead us right
into the dungeons.
Light me a torch.
Give me a hand with this.
Now is that any way
to treat your husband-to-be?
You're right, titus.
Take me, my lord.
Oh, titus.
Tonight you will be
my queen,
and soon the queen
of the entire world.
And i will make love to you
like no other can.
With what?
[Yells]
[Slaps face]
Love or not,
you will be my queen.
[Sword clanks
back into sheath]
Nothing can force me
to marry you.
Not even the life
of your brother?
[Man yelling]
[Door closes]
[Chuckling]
[Moaning]
Your majesty.
Your majesty.
Elizabeth, this is
no place for you.
I've brought you
some food and wine.
You've labored long.
I thought you'd be hungry.
Hungry, indeed,
but not for food.
Dear elizabeth, your new life
as my consort suits you fine.
I was meant to be yours,
my king.
[Yelling]
[Laughing]
Leave us, verdugo.
[Yells]
So, prince,
are you going to tell me
where xusia is?
What are you talking about?
Oh, mikah!
How else could this
rabble uprising grow thus far?
Xusia must be behind it.
He's the only one
who could truly challenge me.
You're being challenged
by a myth.
Xusia of delos died...
a thousand years ago.
[Groans]
I, myself, raised xusia
from the dead.
Little did i know
what i let loose upon the world.
A wild tale.
It's no tale.
I've stalked xusia
for ten years,
watching for signs
of his devilish work.
- He's using you as a pawn
to gain control of my kingdom.
- Your kingdom?
Nothing you call yours
is truly yours, cromwell.
My god, man, there is
a demon in our midst,
and he is the leader
of your cause.
Now you tell us
where he is and save us all.
I am the only leader
of this rebellion.
Very well.
There must be someone.
A mentor,
an advisor perhaps.
There is no one.
He may not look
like a demon.
In human form,
he could look like anyone.
But there'd be traces
of a serpent in his face,
wildness of a jackal
in his eyes.
You're mad.
Perhaps.
[Grunting]
What's the matter?
I'm too old for this.
Come on.
I'll help you.
I can't take another step.
I'm not leaving you here.
Go on. Save yourself.
I'll carry you.
Come on.
Over here. Come on.
Let's go over here.
Is this the only way
into the dungeons?
Yes, my lord.
Don't call me that.
What a place.
How much further is it?
A hidden entrance
into the dungeon is
only a little further.
[Rattling]
What is it?
What do you hear?
Is someone...
listen.
[Rattling continues]
[Yells]
Move!
[Rats screeching]
[Rodrigo]
You go first, warrior.
Perhaps we should wait
for you here...
to guard the escape.
You do that.
[Men murmuring]
Quiet.
You want to get us caught?
There are guards everywhere.
Rodrigo.
Where are you going?
Stop, or your
leader dies.
[Gulps]
[Gasps]
My luck rots.
Blast!
[Knock on door]
Get the door, governor.
[Indistinct chatter]
[Choking]
Throw back the bolt.
[Keys jingling]
Warrior?
It's me... rodrigo.
What the devil
are you doing here?
Cromwell's men
were waiting for us
at the sewer opening.
They intend to crucify us
during tomorrow's feast.
I should let them.
Teach you a lesson.
Free everyone.
[Men chattering]
Which one of these cells
holds mikah?
None.
They took him to
cromwell's torture chamber.
Poor mikah.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, get up.
You're not animals to grovel.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Who are you?
My name is estard devereux.
I was once
cromwell's architect.
After i built this castle,
the king had me imprisoned.
You built this place?
Oh, yes.
They threw me in here
five years ago...
to ensure that
the castle's secrets
would never be revealed.
What secrets?
Oh.
Hidden passages,
secret exits...
and more.
More.
I want you to tell me
all you know.
Oh, i will. I will.
[Door opening]
Sire, the dungeon guards
are dead, and the
prisoners are gone.
Elizabeth, you wait here.
No...
shh!
Trust me.
Kill everyone
in the chamber now.
An angel.
Hush.
Save your strength.
[Gasps]
[Elizabeth shrieks]
[Talon]
Use it or put it away.
[Moaning]
You did it.
What did you expect?
I owe you one, my friend.
No, your sister owes me.
Now go before it's too late.
Come on.
Thank you.
Well, get going!
[Rodrigo]
I'll stay.
We get out together,
or we die together.
Well, come on then.
There they are!
[Yells]
Come on! Out of the way!
Get out of the way!
[Shouting]
[Growling]
[All yelling]
[Gasps]
[Men yelling]
I'd love to stay, but...
[screams]
[Door opening]
[Yells]
Hyah!
Hyah!
- [Gasps]
- [Yelling]
[Yelling]
[Grunts]
[Chickens cackling,
horse neighing]
[Horse whinnying]
[Whinnying continues]
Hmm.
[Grunting]
[Yells]
[Man]
Come here!
[Groans]
Come on! This way!
- Who dies first?
- I'll be the first.
Don't act as if
you don't know who i am, xusia.
It's your old friend,
cromwell.
[No audio]
Now we'll see
how a sorcerer fares...
against cold steel.
I'm no sorcerer,
but i'll gladly test
your steel, old friend.
He's mine!
[Yells]
[Guard #1]
After him!
[Guard #2]
Don't let him get away!
[Yells]
You!
How dare you intercede!
Please!
Forgive me, your majesty,
but it is a mistake
to play with xusia this way.
This man's no sorcerer!
Please do not be fooled
by this ploy.
Xusia's cunning
knows no bounds.
Have you forgotten
what this man has done
to your red dragons?
He must be
one of xusia's demons.
Forgive me.
I mean no disrespect,
your majesty.
I live only to serve
the greater glory of your name.
Indeed, machelli.
Indeed.
Fine duel.
Pity we won't learn
who's the better.
[Bell tolling]
[Rooster crows,
hens clucking]
[Screaming]
Easy, my lord,
the wounds must be cleansed.
[Door closes]
Rodrigo.
Yes, my prince.
What happened to alana?
She is to be married
to cromwell tonight.
[Groans]
Like hell.
And the warrior
is to be crucified.
I should have helped him.
[Groans]
Tonight...
rally our men.
We will crush cromwell
or die.
[Scoffs]
Go back into the castle?
Well, how else?
[Groans]
Coming in, old man?
[Moaning]
[Phillip]
Darius?
Hmm?
Darius.
Well, did you find him?
Aye.
King has him in chains.
Good god.
What did he do now? Have at
one of the king's sluts?
It's not clear, but they mean
to execute him tonight.
Damn.
[Moaning]
Go!
Roust the men from the house.
Check the ale shop
for stragglers.
Move!
I fear we can't get
to him, darius.
There must be a way
into the castle.
We might all perish.
Damn you, phillip,
then we all die.
Many a time
talon has saved our skins,
or have you forgotten?
I just think
we need more men.
You got 'em.
Who are you?
Captain morgan,
an old cohort of talon's.
How many are you?
We number only 20,
surely not enough to aid you.
Blast you, erik.
Spread the word
of talon's plight.
Half the sea dogs in this port
owe their lives to him.
Now, go!
See, phillip,
you have so little faith.
Now gather the men!
Myra! Myra, look.
Look who just returned.
Oh. Elizabeth.
But has cromwell
set you free?
No, i was saved.
By whom?
I know not,
but he risked all for me.
This savior, did he have
a gauntlet of steel?
Why, yes.
Do you know him?
Aye, all too well.
Damn his heart.
He goes out for a joint of beef
and ends up rescuing
a king's wench.
- Now it falls to us
to fetch him.
- He's been captured?
The lad will be crucified
tonight.
We can't let him die for us.
We must save him!
[Darius]
We will.
Let me go with you.
I know the way
into the castle.
Tell me the way.
I beg you,
let me lead you to him.
To the sword then.
We should never have followed
that bitch in here.
Quiet, barnacle!
It was those landlubbers
that brought us into this trap.
Shut your mouth, sea dog,
before i take this chain...
and wrap it around your neck
till your lousy head falls off.
If these bars weren't
between us, you'd be swimming
in your own gizzards.
When we get out of here,
i intend to settle this.
I'll meet you, scum,
anywhere you choose.
[Men shouting]
Enough!
Enough, or i'll skin
all of you!
[Shouting ceases]
What's on your mind,
potato head?
Cromwell sends you a bargain
out of the goodness
of his heart.
Ha!
Cromwell's goodness?
Silence, you black dog!
Now, tell me who sent you
to invade this castle,
and i'll be merciful.
[Laughter]
Bring them in!
[Grunting]
These two had nothing to say,
so i cut out their tongues.
- Now speak,
while you still have yours.
- Uh...
tell me who sent you here,
or i'll skin her
before your very eyes.
- [Moaning]
- [Screaming]
[Moaning]
[Screaming]
[Shouting]
Kill him!
Kill him!
[Groans]
[Grumbling]
Rat!
[Man]
I hear the four kings
have arrived with 1,000 knights.
But only two will be allowed
to accompany each king
to the feast.
Once we have assassinated
the kings and lords,
and cromwell has exchanged
his vows with alana,
we can send out armies
to sweep across the continent
to consolidate our power.
With the rebellion crushed,
no one can stop us.
Where's cromwell?
He is preoccupied.
He has given me charge of
his army until further notice.
Let us finish with this.
General thogan?
My knights will seal off
the exits from the feast.
No one will get out.
Good.
General rumboldt?
When the signal is given,
my archers will kill
everyone at the feast.
General renquo,
you shall see to it that
all the king's bodyguards
are dead...
before the assassinations begin.
What is the signal?
When alana gives her vows.
Imagine, all the nobility
of ehdan...
and the kings of four empires
wiped out in one fell swoop.
Cromwell is a genius.
In three hours' time,
one man will control
the entire...
civilized world.
???? [fanfare]
[Man]
Their royal majesties...
king leonidas of minoa,
king ludwig of galese,
king stancho of valencia...
and king charles of the franks.
[Guests chattering,
laughing]
Is that chief talon?
[King ludwig]
It certainly looks like him.
Well?
It is him.
How can that be?
Last i heard, he was chieftain
of the black tribes,
helping them
to overthrow some slaver.
We owe that man too much
to let him die like some dog
at the hands of cromwell.
Yes, but the treaty.
Damn the treaty!
There'd be no kingdoms at all
if it weren't for him.
It will mean war.
Very well.
Let it be war.
???? [fanfare]
[Crowd chanting]
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell! Cromwell!
Cromwell!
Join hands.
[Speaking latin]
[Service continues
in latin]
[Panting]
[Men murmuring]
Who is here
to help the barbarian
with the gauntlet of steel?
Who are you?
Never mind. The barbarian
is to be killed at any moment.
We must save him.
[Darius]
Unlock this door, wench,
and leave that to us.
[Men cheering]
Let's treat the gods
to one hell of a fight.
For talon!
[All] talon!
Talon!
[Mechanical chugging,
scraping]
[Whimpering,
panting]
Don't worry, little girl.
It won't hurt
until i hit the bone.
[Laughing]
Yah!
[Screaming]
Do you, titus cromwell,
take this woman
to be your bride,
your queen,
the mother of your children?
I do.
Repeat after me.
[Continues, indistinct]
Do you, alana,
daughter of lord mogolin...
and last heir
to the crown of ehdan,
take this man, titus,
protector of ehdan,
[creaking]
Emperor of swabia,
castul, goth,
aragon and iberia,
overlord of brishia
and kelti...
and all the northern kingdoms...
of the west of evmark,
master of suders,
[muffled yelp]
Lord and god over all
that is right and good,
to be your groom,
your lover, master...
and the father
of your children?
[Groaning]
L...
cromwell!
Attack!
[All shouting]
[Gasps, screaming]
Stand back.
Small world,
your majesty.
Talon!
I put your army on alert
and had them gather
seven days' ride from here.
They await your presence.
That's perceptive of you to
assume something might go wrong.
I have lived only
to serve you, your majesty.
With your army ready to strike,
we shall yet crush
these rebel dogs.
This won't take
but a moment.
Men, thou art the devil.
Ah. Machelli,
the rebellion is finally on.
Yes.
Now i must get you to safety.
[Gasps]
Machelli.
Finish the dog.
You go after alana.
Go!
[Hissing]
[Screams]
- What are you doing?
- We await cromwell.
Why?
To end his reign
and begin... mine.
But mikah...
mikah is dead.
No. No. No.
The rebellion is dead.
I am the power!
Beyond that gate
lies my destiny.
You can be part of it
or a victim of it.
The choice is yours.
All right.
I've wanted you
for a long time.
You are the strength.
You are the power.
Take me with you.
You are wiser
than i thought, alana.
Promise me...
you'll obey my every wish,
my every command.
Yes.
I'll obey you.
You obey this.
[Demonic voice]
See me, alana,
as i truly am.
[Growling, laughing]
[Growling]
[Growling continues]
[Shrieks]
[Whimpering]
Now you are mine.
Die, jackal!
[Gasps]
[Groans]
[Hissing]
[Cromwell groaning]
And now
i shall have thy soul,
thy body, thy empire.
[Roaring]
I have no quarrel with you.
- [Groaning]
- Out of my way.
- Cromwell is mine!
- Now we have a quarrel.
[Gasping]
[Growls, screams]
Sly sword.
Then let's finish it.
[Screams]
[Whimpering]
[Screams, gasps]
[Screaming]
Who are you?
Talon,
son of richard.
[Groaning, screaming]
No!
[Screams]
[Yells]
[Growling]
[Screaming]
[Talon]
Why the long faces?
Good god, you've snatched
a kingdom.
Talon! Talon!
- Talon!
- [Man] talon!
- Talon!
- Talon!
[All chanting]
Talon! Talon!
And all that goes with it.
Don't we have some business
to attend to?
That we do.
[Shrieks]
[Crowd cheering]
[Darius]
So the debt's been paid,
eh, general?
Aye.
Now to maladon
to save lonbosha's kingdom.
[Horse whinnying]
What do you want?
To join up.
I want to ride with you.
Well, then...
let's be off.
We've a battle in the offing,
kingdoms to save
and women to love.
