God, I�ll kill you!

As your father tried to kill mine!

But you will meet with no more success than he!

Who was it who stole my father�s inheritance?

His own brother, the brigand who spawned you!

He took back what was his by right!

To my father they were promised, and this quarrel is settled now!

Animals!

Not even wolves in winter do this to their kin.

You�re cousins.

Your fathers were one flesh, one blood.

Yet you act like sworn enemies.

Your men butcher one another.

And now you look for death by your own swords.

I don�t know how it comes to this.

It all starts from nothing.

Then the feud that lives deep in our hearts takes us over.

For my part you could kill each other any day you wish.

But I gave you the command of the two villages guarding me from the north.

Three times now the Saxons have swept through and been at my throat before I knew it,

because you were too busy fighting each other to stop them!

You�re a broken shield at my back!

What I need is men at my shoulder blades, not murderous squabbling boys!

Arthur, we know we�ve put you in danger.

You�ve put all my people in danger.

It won�t happen again, I swear it.

No, it won�t happen again, I�ll make sure of that.

You�re banished to Gaul, both of you. Get on your horses.

Gaul?

What will we do in Gaul? It�s a land of savages.

And you should do very well there.

Take away our commands, give the villages to others.

But we don�t deserve banishment.

Your kind of fever spreads.

When the arm is poisoned, the arm is cut off.

You go to Gaul!

Arthur.

You�re a man who uses his mind.

Tell me if what I say is true.

The poison is my cousin and I together. Is this what you mean?

I do.

Then all you have to do is send one of us away, not both.

Send me to Gaul.

Leave Gawain here by his own hearth.

Arthur.

Let me go to Gaul. Leave Garet with his family.

These are the two who were trying to kill each other a moment ago.

I spoke first!

I am the elder, therefore the senior.

My father was the elder, therefore the senior brother.

I inherit that priviledge!

He was the elder by twelve months.

And that only meant that he was one year slower.

Slower than yours?

He could split your father�s skull before he could blink!

He couldn�t split an apple with a new-forged blade!

All those who are close by blood ties have their differences.

Only holy men and cowards agree all the time.

We can work together when we have to.

Isn�t that so, Garet?

Yes. Yes, that�s so!

Are you hurt?

Only my pride is hurt.

Not that way!

Not this way?

What are they, eagles? They can fly back over our heads?

No.

Foxes, that will split up and circle behind us.

They�ll fly as straight as two arrows.

They�ll try to head back to their camps.

You take the west, I�ll go east.

This new spear against your dagger that I get mine first.

Good, I need a new spear.

I�m within distance, Gawain.

We became impatient, waiting for you.

I captured mine first. Then I went to find Llud.

Llud, you were up on the ridge, you had a bird�s eye view.

Nothing to choose between you. � But who made his capture first?

It�s of no importance!

Who?

By the time it takes one wave to roll onto the beach.

I owe you my new spear.

Keep it. I had the unfair advantage.

I knew their minds.

You must be tired. It�s been a long day.

It�s time to go.

I didn�t know it was a contest.

Not bad for a tired man.

What�s the matter? You break an arm?

Distance isn�t everything.

It�s accuracy that counts. � Huh.

I was pinning frogs� legs before I could talk.

It must have been irksome, not being able to tell anyone about it.

I can tell them about it now.

Come on! This is no feast day. We have work ahead of us.

He�s calling me a braggart. Let him stand to his word.

You first. � No, you first.

I give preference to the man who claims the eyes of a hawk.

I waive the preference.

I wouldn�t want to discourage you.

Should I take them out? I would not want to disturb you.

So long as you don�t mind having your shaft split.

Your man would be wounded. Mine, dead.

Yours would�ve taken them on his shield. Mine would�ve surprised him.

Wouldn�t have surprised me.

I see.

So you have a better shield arm too, have you?

I did not say that.

No, nor should you.

Nor should I.

To state the obvious is a tedious pastime.

Would you care to prove that?

I see that it is necessary.

Yes. I think it is.

You behave like children, both of you!

Don�t be so grim, Llud.

Ready?

Young men must have their sport.

Sport? What do you know about sport?

I trained you both for battle!

Without the binding, your leg would be out of action.

But I could still ride.

Now, no more, Kai. You�ve had your fun.

Arthur. That�s enough!

It�s a game, Llud. Only a game.

I wouldn�t want you to say that my horse beat you.

Your horse would have a better chance.

Give me one of those.

A fair exchange.

The advantage of my axe for your horse.

You forget � the Romans taught me the short sword.

I�ve killed Romans with it.

You must stop them.

Had to come. Now they must fight it out.

It�s to the death.

If what you say is true, then it�s more than the death of one man.

It�ll destroy the other.

It will destroy this land.
