It was the Dark Ages.

And in the land of Britain,
there lived a mighty queen,

adored by all her subjects.

Most of them.

Some of them.

Oh, just meet her You'll understand.

- My Queen, enemy force.
- Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh!

How am I coming out?

My portrait And give me
the truth, unvarnished.

Don't think to flatter me, Leofwine.

Maybe the Queen should
judge for herself

Well done!

I'll not have your
fingers hacked off today.

Thank you, my Queen

- Now, how goes the war?
- Ah.

Oh yes, the war.

Angered by Dagan's harsh reígn,

the peasants had rísen against her

From amongst the common folk,

a rebel champion rose,

A woodcutter named Humble Joan,

and Joan had something
the queen did not:

a secret of great might
called flame-powder

But Dagan had a plan to
crush the rebellion

The forest archers, the river clans,

the spearmen of the fens.

We we muster them here

Are you listening?

We muster them here and they
shall smash our enemies.

I- I don't know why you didn't
think of this before.

My Queen, we can move the
pieces on the map all we like.

It will not conjure them here.

The spearmen of the fens are fallen.

Well, let them get up again,
the lazy tykes.

Humph!

I thought you were going to say
they were dead.

Oh

The river clans are cleft in bits.

The forest archers turned
and fight for Humble Joan

I know the illness which gnaws
at your innards.

Ow, my fucking leg!

It's not Humble Joan, no.

- Where's it gone?!
- It's fear.

So, let us lift our spirits
with a -with a banquet!

Aunty party music)

She tramples on the lions,

She tramples on her foes,

raises burdensome taxes
on their howling widows.

Dainty, soft, soft.

Shut up!

Come.

What's this yellow stuff?

No, let me guess.

Tumery Turmer.

Meric - Turmer.

Turmeric - You please me.

Bring me these eggs in all
the banquets to come.

Yes, my Queen.

All eggs Right

Humble Joan can't stop us from
enjoying this, can she?

I am more than your queen, am I not?

I'm-I'm your friend

A toast, to friendship

Fall back!

The wall is breached

Oh, dear

Fighting in the passages

Screams of the dying.

Yes, dying peasants, though,
don't we think?

Footsteps coming closer

They're at the door

Humble Joan.

Merely Joan.

I seek no fame, no titles.

Only justice.

Urgh.

As do I

Leofwine!

During any change of government,

some element of continuity is advisable.

No!

I am still the queen!

Thanes, I command you to seize them!

Is she serious?

Thanes, you are citizens of
the new commonwealth.

Be free

Thank you, Humble Joan,
you heal our land.

You heal yourselves.

What?

Wolf Tail

My father's blade

Humble Joan, I challenge you to
single combat.

The victor wins the realm

Duelling?

Oh A sad habit of the wealthy.

We have no need for it now.

There are a dozen tongues in this hall.

More than one shall speak of the time.

Humble Joan was afraid

If I can fell the tallest oak,

I can cut down a little queen.

Argh!

Oh!

Such pretty nails and such a soft foot.

You've lived as a queen.

Time to die as one.

Many people cry for their
mothers at a time like this.

Mum! No!

Not I! Argh!

Oh, a fighting queen at last!

Did I touch a nerve?

See how the coward runs

Now, bring her back

Well, look at you

She went this way!

Oh, excuse me, corpse chap.

Dagan!

Oooh, D-D-D-D-D Dagan!

Boo!

My new master will be pleased

This way, my Queen.

Oh Oh, titting balls

I've never gone this way before.

They're staff stairs, come on!

I remember you now.

You're one of the servants and
you're called Turmeric.

That's the spice - Yes, I knew that

Dis-hand me! A commoner may not
touch a queen!

Urgh!

- Why are we going up?
- I know of a privy chute.

- A what?
- A privy chute.

It's narrow, but steep and moist.

We'll slide fast.

Moist is a word for it,
I can think of others

At least consider it, my Queen.

Do you think to trick me
and push me down?

That wasn't so bad, was it?

The Queen requires a shoe!

You look perfect Now, run!

Find Dagan!

Find the queen!

Where are we going?
And what's your name again?

Shulmay.

Shulmay, Shulmay, Shulmay,
Shulmay, Shulmay, Shulmay,

Shulmay, Shulmay, Shulmay,
Shulmay, Shulmay.

We'll swim downstream - We turn back.

Huh?

Quick, they're coming In here

Hang on, what's this?

The Queen's colour.

She took to water.

She reckons we'll lose the scent.

Follow the river, boys!

The Queen had outwitted
the rebels and escaped.

Maybe Shulmay helped a bit too.

But with her cítadel taken,
what would Dagan do now?

When I was a girl, I would watch
my father punish traitors.

He would cleave off their arms.

And shove them up their arses.

That's nice - Hmm.

And then he would cleave off their arses

and shove those up whatever remained.

People didn't always get their own arses.

Arses were swapped about.

Now, Leofwine,

she will have all of this and more

when I take back the citadel tomorrow.

And do you have soldiers
for that, Your Majesty?

You're making the queen feel bad.

Your throne is lost

But it can be yours again.

You may continue.

For weeks, I feared Leofwine
was playing both sides,

that there were letters
she didn't show you.

Earlier in the fog of war,
she left one on the table

'To Chancellor Leofwine,

from King Ivarr of Jutland and
King Guthrum of the Frisians '

These are my cousins!

My cousins across the sea!

'By Fingerstone Rock'

Well, I had a moment, no more

I could only take the first page.

Then we'll never know the rest!

I'm finished!

Strangle me.

But gently.

It said Ivarr and Guthrum

will give you sanctuary in their lands.

Then they'll muster armies and longships

all for you to take back what's yours.

Then I'm saved!

But what does 'by Fingerstone
Rock' mean?

Fingerstone is a crag on the coast.

It marks the shortest passage
to their lands.

Well, that's where we're going!

How far is Fingerstone Rock from here?

A hundred and forty miles.

One hundred and forty miles?

One hundred and

And so began their great
journey, to Fingerstone Rock,

to the kings, to salvation

Shulmay, your servant's shoe is
not very watertight.

Add that to your things to fix list.

My Queen, you are conspicuous

with your red gown and your gold crown.

- Just-
- Hey!

My father's crown shall not be removed.

If it's seen - - Well, then cover it.

Find me a nice hat.

Yep.

You're probably wondering why
I'm helping you

Why this servant who
could've slipped away hasn't.

Not especially, no It's your job.

And, hey, stop walking
before your Queen!

What is the world coming to?

Keep up, though!

We have no time for slackers.

Yeah

On they walked, with happy
smiles and swelling hearts.

Until

This is my morning song I sing,

in summer, winter, and in spring.

It's made from air that I breathe in,

And push it out my mouth again.

Some say the tune and words are wrong,

but it is not their fucking song.

When he leaves for work,

we'll search his hut for clothes and food.

Why wait?

This man is a loyal subject.

Look, any army would have him,

and yet he has not joined the rebels.

No purple flower.

- We cannot know who his loyal.
- Greetings, peasant!

- Great.
- I am your Queen, Queen Dagan,

and we noticed you do not wear
the mauve bloom.

Oh, it must've fallen off - Oh!

- An enemy!
- No, no, no

I just like purple flowers.

Noticed, er, lots of people
marching about wearing 'em.

Is it fashion?

No, it is not fashion, it is revolution.

Oh well, been nice to meet you.

Your Queen needs clothes and food.

Please help us.

Alright, well, I'll see what I've got.

My name is Bobik.

Okay - Right.

Come in

Here's where she took to water.

No sign of her yet

There Footprints.

Dagan lay here, and not alone.

Someone's helping her.

Someone clever - But we thought.

Ha, what they made you think.

Keep searching the river - Yes, Joan

I'll go east

I know Dagan's weaknesses.

She'll not hide long from me.

Thank you, Citizen Leofwine.

Take the soldiers and get to it.

Excuse me Affairs of the state

Off you go Bring me Dagan's head.

There's a poppet.

So, we'll walk to Fingerstone Rock,

and then we'll sail a boat across the sea

to find new soldiers
for the queen

Splish, splash, splosh

I've heard of the sea.

It's like a puddle, but much, much wider.

And it's salty, like when you
lick your own armpit

How far is this walk of yours?

A hundred and thirty miles from here

You're gonna need a horse.

They all died In the great horse plague.

A dragon, then - Yeah, they're not real

Fuck off.

- Do you have any money?
- Uh-uh.

Food?

Well, just these crusts you're eating.

And a lump.

A lump of what?

Lamb?

Or cheese?

The man I get it off never tells me.

What's your trade, Bobik?

I'm a shit spader

I spade the shit.

Not a job that needs a long explanation.

No, there there's more to it
than most think, you know.

There are countless different
kinds of shit.

And no two spades the same.

You have your basic cow shit.

Um, you've got your runny shit,

you've got your compacted shit,
crumbly shit,

glistening shit, young shit,
old shit, frozen shit,

grassy shit, muddy shit, waxy shit.

You even have shit with bones in it.

- We understand.
- Mouldy shit, mossy shit,

stringy shit, sandy shit,
leafy shit, mystery shit.

Fizzy shit.

You get tasty shit too

Where are you going?

You have sacks.

Yeah, for of shit.

And they clothe you.

My Queen, we need disguises.

We can wear sack cloth
and carry powerful spades

and pose as honest shovelers
on our trek.

And it was at that moment
Queen Dagan awoke

from her hideous nightmare

This trek, I'll come with you.

No No, Bobik.

It's bad enough having to walk
next to a servant.

But you, I don't mean to offend you here,

but you are the lowest variety of human.

But if I come with you,
you can make me a thane.

That's the second highest title.

Well, what's the highest?

An earl - Good, then I'll be an earl

I like the shit and I take a
great deal of pride

in my spading of it, but

I've always fancied being,
um, one of those rich fellas.

Bobik is strong, and has skills we don't

He could prove handy.

Alright.

Bobik, you may journey with us,

and when I'm restored to my throne,

I shall give you that earldom.

Yes! Thank you

I'll never make an earl of Bobik

Or you, or any lowborn.

But I don't think we need
to tell him that now.

It can be our little secret

Yeah

And so, the two became three.

Queen Dagan, Shulmay, and Bobik,

names to echo down the ages.

As long as they didn't get caught.

You walk like a queen, my Queen.

You should walk like a Bobik.

There.

Oh, and I'll speak peasant too.

Once, I spoke peasant all day,

and it really did make the thanes chuckle

'Shall I milk your herd for you, kind Sir?'

Okay, so when we meet someone,
I'll do the talking.

- Will you now?
- Yeah.

I'll talk too

I know lots of words

I know twenty words.

Shall we have a little practice, Bobik?

Okay, I'm a stranger.

Fine morning, fellow travellers.

Where are you going?

We are on a journey.

Shit spaders, I see

I am, yeah She's not, she's the queen.

We're off to meet some kings and -oh.

So, lies are required.

But lies are bad and wrong.

Let's just try this again.

Say, 'I am not Bobik '

But I am Bobik.

Say it.

I am not Bobik.

And it's a great first go.

Okay, but don't puff your cheeks out,

'cause it gives the game away So, again

I am not Bobik.

Don't look up

I am not Bobik.

Getting worse now.

A traveller do come.

Pots, pans, kettles, and cans

Bobik, you're a lifelong mute.

Without words thou be.

None of that.

Your Majesty

Pots and pans, kettles and cans.

Good day, Mr Ironmonger.

Beautiful smithing there.

Thank you - Yes, and that one is lovely.

Love them all - Obliged.

Yeah We've no money to
buy them, though,

as we are not wealthy

I suppose so.

You're three shit spaders,
that much is plain.

It is very plain that's what we are.

Yes, all day, just shovelling away.

Oh, my poor back!

Sure you've got no coin, pal?

Can't tempt you with this
lovely little shit pan,

just for the small shits?

Er, he was born without speech.

As was she.

Heard the big news from up the citadel?

We have not, Sir.

It's all over for Queen Dagan.

Humble Joan holds the realm now.

What do you make of that?

What do you make of that?

Glorious.

Absolutely fantastic.

It's, it's so good.

They say Humble Joan has some
sort of dust

that goes boom!

Went through them walls like
piss through a snowdrift.

Good job and all.

Dagan was a right old cow

Well, let's not be too hard on her.

She was a cow, mate.

Like, if I were to compose a ranking list

of my favourite evil tyrants,

she'd never make top twenty.

Well, we've delayed you long enough.

Nailed on bottom five Bottom two, even.

We really must be going.

- This way is east, isn't it?
- Last place is either Dagan or

hmm, Magnus the Flagellator?

And Magnus did a lot more charity work

than people remember.

It's sort of overshadowed, you know?

By the flagellations.

Well, it's been a pleasure.

She's not the queen

He speaks!

Mute all his sad life,

and now, here on this moor,

he magics whole phrases.

She's not the queen.

And he doesn't even know what
they mean.

Well, farewell, good sir,
and good munging.

Oh, hey, if you're heading
east, beware a certain forest

What forest?

I just told you, a certain one.

Okay

If he looks behind, we have
something to fear

All is well.

It was a nice little shit pan, that

I should be sitting at my desk

having a cheeky midweek wine.

- You know I collect goblets?
- Do ya?

People think I work all the time,

but I've got loads of interests.

Socialising, giving orders Mmm.

We don't even know if they came
this way.

Bloody runaway monarchs!

So annoying!

I know this pattern!

They're close, Max.

They're close.

Darkness gathers.

We'll dwell the night here.

I can't remember when I wasn't walking.

How long has it been?

All day, all night, another day.

Oh, my toes, they look like
boxers' eyelids!

I'm-I'm rancid I'm rotting.

My royal body requires a palace to rest in.

- Here?
- Yes.

Make a palace happen around me.

A good stone one.

Okay.

I can't sleep without my
anthem, Shulmay.

Harsh as a lion, she tramples her foes,

raises burdensome taxes

on their howling widows,

Queen, Queen Dagan.

While Queen Dagan slept,

Humble Joan was workíng late
at the citadel.

Ultimate super weapons don't
make themselves, you know.

Easy does it

Beautiful.

It's kings and queens who yearn
for portraits.

Oh, but Joan, you're the
greatest woman of the age.

Alright, if you must, but it
doesn't matter to me

How will you do my hair?

A message from Leofwine.

'I'm pursuing the tyrant Dagan eastward.

Though she's proved elusive so far,

I expect to capture her very
tremendously soon '

Dagan's alive.

While her heart beats, I cannot rest easy

It's damn cold out there.

It's toasty in this palace.

If a little heavy.

Would you like us to remove
some stones, Your Majesty?

No, no, don't be ridiculous.

Then I'd be cold, like you

Night-night.

Shulmay.

Bobik.

I'm in this to be an earl.

And Dagan's in this to get her
kingdom back.

What's in it for you?

When I was a girl, I found
myself with no family,

nor any friends to keep me.

So, I banged my little fists on
the citadel gates

and I begged for a job

They made me table servant to
Ur-Nammu.

The old king, Dagan's dad.

One night I'm sent to fetch his dinner,

citadel's a warren, I get lost.

Ur-Nammu's dinner comes
late, and it comes cold

So, he gives an order to feed
me to his wolves

That's not very good, is it?

His wife, Queen Fritha,
bargained for my life.

She made me a servant in her chambers.

And for five years I stayed with her there

Fritha always wore a charm
around her neck.

When the illness took her,
she gave it to me.

And she said

If that girl is ever in trouble,

please look after her.

Queen Fritha always wore this.

It's Dagan's first baby tooth.

Fritha saved me, and I couldn't save her.

So, I'll save her daughter,

whether her daughter likes it or not.

Dagan doesn't know about this?

She won't hear talk of her mother.

That's just how it is.

You're a good person, Shulmay.

You deserve good things to
happen to you.

Yeah.

Ni-night

- Come on!
- What?

Sun's coming up.

Time to get moving.

One of us has to have some
discipline around here.

Looks like it's me.

Off we pop!

This is my morning song I sing,

in summer, winter, and in spring.

It's made from air that I breathe in,

and then push out my mouth again.

Shulmay, I seek your advice.

Lowly you may be,

but you're what's here,
so, you'll have to do.

Hmm Such an honour.

King Ivarr, King Guthrum

I'll marry one of them to bind
the alliance and make an heir.

But which one?

Guthrum's warriors could lay
waste to whole shires,

but Ivarr's fleets could ravage hell itself.

Choices, choices.

They both sound delightful,

but would your mother want you
marrying either?

What I mean to say is - You said nothing.

And you will never speak of
that nothing, ever.

Do you understand?

Yes, my Queen

And all the while, the traitor,
Leofwine, pursued them.

Unrelenting, unstoppable,

like a machine, but with great hair.

Yeah.

Up there.

Three of 'em.

And halt.

Dinner time

Ooh, hello lump.

Rip.

Thank you - Hmm.

It's lamb - It's cheese.

It's all we've got to eat
for the next ninety miles

Why just eat when we can feast?

Fine pork aplenty there.

More than enough to last us all the way.

And this is our bait.

Yeah, boars are nimble.

We'll need a bow to catch it

I'm an incredible hunter

My Queen, we used to hide in a ditch,

and release the animals as you
came past.

Well, I still have to catch the things.

It's not as though you lamed them.

Well - Shh!

You'll startle our prey

Surprise attack!

Yeah, maybe don't actually say,
'surprise attack'

Here we go

Good piggy

It's a bit fucking late now!

Ow!

He'll stay longer if we leave
the whole lump

She's gonna do it

Urgh

You're angry with me.

You know, if anyone's to blame
here, Shulmay.

Really?

If anyone's to blame here, Shulmay

it's me.

And it's my fault we've no food now.

And?

And I'm sorry.

An apology Thank you.

Up we get.

No time for slackers, eh?

Shulmay, isn't it strange,

a few days ago I didn't even
know your name,

or any servant's

And now here I am.

Here we are.

I did a table.

Tonight, we shall feast upon
the rich flesh

Dagan's pretty crown.

This way.

Tell me about yourself, Bobik.

And I'll listen this time, I actually will

I was born in a bin.

When we were little,
we couldn't afford clothes,

so, we made our own out of nettles.

Ouch.

That was my first word.

Then there was the whole rest of my life.

And then there's now.

Which is the important bit, isn't it?

Yeah, he's actually right.

We fret so much about the future,

or I do, anyway.

And then when you get
to the future, it's now.

Life is made of now's

It's always now.

Such wisdom.

There's an invisible snail of time,

and he eats all your now's.

The day you see him is the day you die.

And he's called Big Liam.

It was going so well till then

Ooh, I bet they've got good
pies down there.

We've gotta eat sometime.

Well, we can't enter a town.

Got no money anyway.

Got these.

No.

No, I'm not shovelling turds
for copper coins.

I'm just not.

I said I'm not shovelling turds
for copper coins.

Did you hear me?

Guys?

Bread!

Only one quarter sawdust!

- Bread!
- Finest wool!

Get your random geese!

Oyez, oyez!

News from the citadel.

Shh, shh, shh.

The siege is over.

The victor is Humble Joan!

- Humble Joan!
- Shulmay.

Sorry, excuse me, sorry.

Hooray!

Sorry - Thank you

Urgh Yuck

Shit spaders for hire, you said.

Yeah - You can spade shit.

Thank you - You can sort of spade shit.

But I've got no words for you.

Pick up the pace, or nobody gets paid!

Bobik, I need to improve!

It takes many, many years to
master the way of the spade.

It's it's not something you
can just get across

in an afternoon.

Well, can we try?

What's your song?

Harsh as a lion.

No, no!

Your real song.

Come here.

Closer.

Bobik not gonna hurt Dagan.

Just close your eyes.

Please.

Now, I'm gonna need you to go
deep inside yourself

Okay?

Now, just imagine for a second

that you're not a queen.

You're not a woman.

You're not a man.

There's no earth, there's no sky.

It's just you, and the spade,

and the thing what must be spaded.

Now open your eyes

What do you see?

Me.

Spade.

And that huge pile.

BOBIK; Now, there's a song inside you.

Everyone has one, deep in their soul.

That's your spading song.

That's your rhythm.

No.

I can't hear any song, I'm sorry.

Well, that's odd.

Well, let's go even deeper.

Think about something from your past.

Not a good idea.

It'll be fine Bobik's got this.

Well, does he, though?

Not helping.

Trust me Close your eyes again

Go even deeper inside.

Deep as it goes

See? I told you.

Mum! Mum! Mum!

No!

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la - la-la-la

What's the racket?

What shit spader breaks their
own shit spade?

Leathermaker, we will redouble
our efforts.

You'll redouble your efforts to fuck off.

- Kind leathermaker.
- Fuck off!

Brilliant.

How we gonna earn coin now?

My only talent is being a queen.

Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls.

Since the death of Ur-Nammu the Great,

you have been oppressed by his
horrendous daughter,

the selfish, arrogant, stuck-up
little child queen,

despised by all.

Now is the time for sweet revenge

I present to you Queen Dagan

You low, low wretches,

you poo gobbling serfs,

puss-encrusted bell-ends

Who dares to defame your queen?

Pelt the Queen with rocks.

One for a farthing, six for a penny.

What great value.

Here is a farthing

Who threw that?

Suck my fat scorn, you maggoty churl

I'll open your head and stab
you in the fucking mind

I'll hang your balls from a spike

so, everybody can see how tiny they are

Very, very, very tiny balls.

It's Bobik

I heard her speak once and she
sounded just like that.

Do her some damage.

Six for a penny

Is that all you've got,
you cock-sucking witches?

I was a superb puppeteer, was I not?

Fantastic.

- How good was I, Bobik?
- You were absolutely shit

You're doing a jest.

That I am.

And a great one at that - Thank you.

Well, we've earned enough for food.

And beer.

And toenail paint, which I'm
not convinced that we need

I need it, Shulmay, I just do.

It's a queen thing, judge me not

She likes you Smile back

You flirted, Bobik.

People who don't smell get to
do that now and then.

So, we take the Great East Road
from here,

and then it's a few days to
Fingerstone Rock.

Then we're out across the sea.

We're halfway to salvation.

And I'm still wearing this little chap.

Boop

And it's safe so long as I have my friends.

I said that exact thing only
a week ago to others.

And then they tried to murder me.

Urgh.

You two haven't murdered me,
not even a tiny bit.

We're your friends.

Best friends, forever.

Even though you're both
very, very common.

And when I'm back on my throne,

I shall rain riches and titles on you both.

You said that before.

Yes, but I was fibbing then I mean it now.

To friendship

Shulmay, what's your song?

I dunno Don't have one probably.

Everyone's got one.

The tooth in the bottle

I mean, there must be a story there

Let me guess.

Oh, it's the tooth of your
long-lost sweetheart.

And we can help you win him back.

Bobik, that'll be our next adventure.

- It's just a tooth
- It's your tooth.

Your mum, Queen Fritha,
gave it to Shulmay,

and Shulmay made a promise to
look after you,

'cau 'cause your mum saved Shulmay

Beer beer made me say it.

Is that true, Shulmay?

You're not loyal to me.

You're not my friend.

You're just a friend of my mother's.

- She was a good woman, Dagan.
- She locked herself in a tower.

She refused to see me.

- I was abandoned, forsaken.
- No, because.

Speak no more of that woman!

Okay, we're getting attention
We need to leave, quietly.

Don't look

Leofwine.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

She doesn't know you Distract her.

How?

You're not even looking properly
Look at it.

Oh God, your breath is like
a badger's arse.

Hello.

Madame.

You are a super fine lady.

And this is me telling you that

That was beer, it wasn't
a sudden gush of piss.

This is an interaction of some
kind, but what exactly?

It's my new thing.

It's called flirting.

Is it going well?

Whoa.

- Can it stop?
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, sorry, sorry.

You.

Have you seen this woman?

Is there a way east which isn't
the Great East Road?

A way that's, er, much quicker,

but at the same time isn't used
by anyone at all?

There is such a way.

There's a certain forest

You don't wanna go through there.

We've heard about this
certain forest.

- What's so bad about it?
- The Man-Wolf

Ur-Nammu the Great loved his wolves,

more than his own daughter even.

Story goes he tried to make
a Man-Wolf companion

by unnatural means.

First, a fella was kidnapped,

then Ur-Nammu transformed
this poor man

with hexes and the like.

And I'm guessing that
went badly.

Or are you going to surprise me

- and say it went really well?
- No!

It was a monster

And it dwells in those woods still,

feasting on the fools who take
the forest path.

Them what don't believe
the beast is real!

Humble Joan.

Humble Joan's here!

Oh shite, not her as well.

Humble Joan is here!

It's Humble Joan!

Humble Joan, Humble Joan,

Humble Joan, Humble Joan,

Humble Joan, Humble Joan,
Humble Joan

Good citizens

five days now since Dagan fell,

and with her the crooked laws,

which stole the wealth of this
land from you, the people

And yet Dagan lives.

She stalks our fields.

No! JOAN: Our lanes.

No!

I have heard she lurks here, in the east,

and hopes to win her throne again.

Never!

To pillage and to murder.

And I've heard she's done poos
in your wells

She doesn't do that

300 silver marks,

a lifetime's pay,

all for the one who brings me
Dagan, alive or dead

The people are the heroes now

Put her head on a spike.

Quick, Dagan, this way

She's here.

The little piggy princess.

Bobik!

- Bobik!
- Yeah?

- Is that woman gone?
- Yes, come on!

Scary But lovely hair

So, they took the path where
nobody goes,

into a certain forest.

SHULMAY Man-Wolf

No No, such thing.

Absolutely not, no.

No way.

Stay on the path

Never leave the path.

Bobik, tell this woman she has
us utterly lost.

You still not talking to her?

Well, I'll travel with her if I must.

But it's my mother she loves.

So, all former relations are severed

I liked it when we were in the pub.

There was beer.

If it cheers you up, Bobik, you
can have an extra county

on your earldom - Whoa.

Hey, will there be ale in this county?

All the ale you can guzzle.

What, and pies?

Pies too - What kind of pies?

All the pies you can imagine - Wow!

Well, hey, I can imagine a great many

different kinds of pies

I'm sure you can, but there's
no need to list them.

You've got apple pie, mutton pie.

- Here we go.
- Elderberry pie, venison pie.

Yeah - Rabbit pie.

Rabbit pie's a nice pie - Mm-hmm.

But then, of course, you have
all the fish pies.

Imagine for a moment any fish
in the river,

and then just say the word 'pie' after it.

Got it - Go on, have a go Give me one.

Trout - Trout pie, yes.

Salmon pie Now, eel pie is very

What's that?

Are we standing in the lair of
the deadly Man-Wolf?

I command you not to panic
But yes, yes, we are.

Hey, please don't leave me!

Circle of safety, circle of
safety, circle of safety,

- circle of safety!
- Oh, God!

Oh, Gods, whatever!

Halt

You were no shit spader.

That I could tell.

Then I saw that panting,
you with the crown.

No, no, I'm Hilda

I I'm a travelling merchant.

Let's walk

300 silver marks will buy me all the

Huh?

Saw him creep off with his long sword,

like he knew something.

And he led me all the way to you.

Your Majesty

Gods and ancestors,
assist me now.

Don't waste your breathe.

My 300 silver marks will

Oh, my

Couldn't let him be the one to
catch the great Queen Dagan.

And now, 300 silver

Ludicrous!

That leathermaker tried to send us north.

But we figured out his game.

And those 300 silver marks

Shall be mi - Argh!

No, you don't.

You are a difficult person
to track down and behead

If you want to talk your way out of this,

now's your chance.

Leofwine.

I mean, we go way back, and I thought

Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee.

Carry on

You know, maybe we could just.

Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee

Dear sweet, stupid,

stupid, stupid.

- Dagan!
- You won't escape this.

The mighty Bobik.

He'll be here any moment.

Circle of safety, circle of safety

Nobody's coming for you

Leofwine, listen!

Humble Joan, she'll just cast
you aside as soon as she can.

She can't.

You don't think Joan's in charge, do you?

People like you and her,
you don't actually govern.

People like me do that.

I gather taxes,

I pay the druids,

I burn the druids,

I hire cheaper, new druids

I run the show, and I always did

Urgh!

You.

Oh

She's dead - I so many plans

All dust now

Dust now

She's dead - No!

I'm alive, Dagan, I'm still alive.

Now

Oh, for God's sake

I've actually literally wet my breeches.

The queen has moistened herself.

At least that man-wolf never showed up

Shulmay!

I'm coming, Shulmay!

Get your hands off my friend!

Urgh!

It broke.

I can return to my family.

Thank you for setting me free.

Hey, you alright, Clive?

I ain't seen you in years.

You're looking well.

Shulmay, are you hurt?

You came to save me.

You took off your crown
for a lowly wretch like me.

Oh, but what a wretch.

What a wretch

With that huge bounty on your
head, we won't get far,

but Leofwine's a close enough
match for you.

We still have your scarlet robes.

If she's found in them,
the hunt for the Queen ends.

But we have different faces.

Yes, but this is craggy country.

We'll find a cliff and drop her
off a decent height.

I get it.

If Leofwine's head lands
on a hard surface,

then her face will be all blown inside out

and splintered, crushed

See? Put her in the
gown, she's almost you.

Just the face to think about.

Hmm.

This here drop should do the job on that

Okay.

But she has to land correctly.

So, we we've gotta drop her
this way, then.

No, like this.

Legs first, 'cause she'll flip as she falls.

No, sideways, with a touch of spin.

- No, headfirst.
- You haven't done this before.

Neither have you.

Alright, sideways with a touch of spin.

Okay.

- You got her?
- Yeah.

Ready?

One, two, three

Hmm.

Do we have to go down
and fetch her up?

Yes Yes, we do

Okay, headfirst.

One, two, three

What?!

She flipped as she fell, I did say.

- He did say.
- No, there was a sudden gust.

Yeah, one more time.

Alright.

Urgh, how are we gonna pick her up?

She's very slightly damaged

I think I've worked something out.

Dagan often talks about nailing
her foes to trees

and opening up their guts
and other such japes.

When this kind of stuff happens
in front of her.

- She doesn't much like it.
- No, she does not.

Lies!

I am hard as horn.

In my youth, my father made me
watch such things

No! No, no, no, please,
Your Majesty!

No, no, no! I beg you!

Please, no!

No! No!

No!

Alright.

I hated it

I hated every horrid moment of it!

Are you satisfied?

And my mother did nothing

Mum! No! No!

Why won't you see me?

Shulmay, I feel we've opened the wax lid

atop a clay vessel of worms.

Your father thought your mother's love

would make you soft,

so, he locked her away in a tower,

and anyone who spoke of her again

would be pressed through a cattle grid.

She never abandoned you, Dagan.

My mother Io loved me?

Always.

Why did nobody tell me?

The cattle grid.

Oh.

Your father was a bad man.

And not worthy of your admiration.

But that is just the opinion of Bobik

I've been so wrong

Shall we have a third go then, or what?

I reckon we've got this.

Just let me do one thing

Okay, feet first.

You ready?

One, two, three.

With the flip

Hmm.

Yay!

Huh.

I'll see you again soon.

Promise

Someone will find the body soon enough.

This is what they want.

Why are you still here?

This is what they said.

This is what you get.

This is you feeling
the same as you used to

Pay them the bounty.

Is Leofwine back from the forest yet?

Hmm

She's tougher than I thought.

I worried she wouldn't make it this far.

It's, what, a three-day
walk to Fingerstone Rock?

To meet Ivarr and Guthrum.

Bobik.

- Yeah?
- The thing is.

Yeah, we'll do that.

We'll do all of that

And after a day's work at the
new c-c-collective bakery,

I kept a few sweepings of flour
for me and my family.

Oh dear - And I'm very sorry.

It won't happen again.

But I haven't had any wages
since Freedom Day,

and the guards say there's no
coin to pay us with,

and, and the kids,

They're so hungry.

Witgar - Hmm?

You can go back to your family

Thank you, Joan.

After a stay at the citadel,
in a special room,

deep underground

I I, urgh I love you!

This commonwealth cannot fail.

- I love you!
- Will not fail.

Humble Joan, a message
from across the seas.

Hmm

And this letter gives us
the means to do it.

Pack up!

I have somewhere to be

And so, the long journey to
the eastern shore

was nearly over.

Then, just a short trip across the sea

would take them to the great allies.

King Ivarr and King Guthrum

There it is

Ah!

A hundred and two score miles,
and here we are.

Fingerstone Rock!

It is big, though, the sea.

They weren't lying.

You'd need all day to drink that lot.

Is it salty, though?

I'm gonna lick it.

The only sure way to test
anything is lick it.

Shulmay.

Where's our boat, Shulmay, to
take us to the lovely kings?

My Queen, here's the thing

There's a boat!

It's them! They're here!

What now? No.

- Ivarr!
- Dagan, wait.

Guthrum!

- I need to tell you something.
- The two warriors bold!

They've crossed the sea
themselves to pick me up!

- I'm saved!
- That's not quite it.

- Cooee! I'm here!
- Listen, Ivarr and Guthrum

are not here for you.

They're literally just there!

I haven't told you everything.

Wait, where are they
going, the silly things? Huh.

The truth is, they did write to Leofwine,

asking to meet by Fingerstone Rock,

and pay gold for the secret
of the flame-powder

once Humble Joan had taken the realm.

You mean they bet against me?

I had to think fast.

Get the queen to safety
and tell the truth later

You lied to me, all this time.

No ships, no armies.

But there is safety.

No one lives on Fingerstone.

So, we can live there,
and no one will know.

Everyone thinks you're dead.

We'll eat seagulls' eggs and fish.

Fish pie.

That was kind of my plan all along.

We live on a rock.

That rock?

That rock over there.

If we live on that rock,
will I still be an earl?

Yeah

Earl in a palace, or earl in a hovel?

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry, Bobik.

Look, I know it's a lot to take in.

Urgh!

Oh!

I did all this for your mother!

You're a shit, Dagan!

A selfish, horrible shit!

After all I've done for you,
all Bobik's done!

- I killed for you!
- A bad person

who had it coming!

Real affection would be

would be killing someone
who didn't deserve it.

You sucked up my mother's love

for years!

That was my love,

and you robbed it!

And then you promised me a kingdom,

and then you steal that too!

Some of us get by without kingdoms

Well, I need a kingdom!

I was going to be a better
queen this time!

Just a, a, a fucking
adorable queen!

The pain of it.

You don't know about pain!

You're a spoiled baby!

Do you know how hard it is
being your friend?

You are not my friend.

Eat my jellyfish!

It stings!

Nobody told me they sting!

I wish that man-wolf had
scoffed your fucking tits!

Right, I'm done

- Good!
- Fine!

- Fine!
- Good!

Leave me then!

Everybody does!

Why don't you hand me in to
Humble Joan,

get a nice big fat reward?

Yeah, maybe I should.

Bobik?

Nah.

Tell me how I should feel.

How can this love

run out of here?

When should I believe
the things you say?

You change your mind from day to day.

And I don't know if you can

take such a good thing

What's the snack situation?

I hope it's good,
I'm so hungry

Very good - Ja.

Oh, God Oh.

What a shit hole.

Ja, it stinks - Yes

We shall drive
a hard bargain.

Ja, what other bargain would we
wanna drive, man?

I mean, it's us, yeah?

We're hardcore, all the time

I am.

You? I've heard otherwise.

You mock me

I'll spill your sorry guts on
the sand right here.

- You wanna go?
- Right here.

- You wanna go?
- On the sand.

- You wanna get crazy?
- You want a piece of it?

You wanna get crazy?
I'm gonna fuck you up.

Ja, you want?

Come on, let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go, let's go

She thinks we may fight now

She does not know that
we are good friends,

whose mannish banter is unmatched.

Yeah, just a couple of kings
fucking around.

You're bigger than I thought you'd be.

But you're still pretty small.

King Ivarr, King Guthrum,

welcome to the Commonwealth
of the People.

Well done on the rebellion.

If you'd tried it in our lands,
you'd be very dead now.

Yeah, very dead.

But you did it here, so, you
know, we're cool with that.

Come this way.

Thank you.

- I don't trust her.
- No Me neither.

She's so small

Do you think Humble Joan's around?

Well, Leofwine's not meeting
the kings, is she?

Yes, Humble Joan's here.

We'll give her what she wants,

and then she can't deny us our silver.

We'll be wealthy?

You'll never have to shovel
again, and I'll serve no one.

I'm sick of looking after
the upper classes, Bobik

I need to find my song.

Hey.

So, are we giving her Dagan?

Yes, we are.

Yeah

So, this commonwealth malarky.

Does it have legs?

I mean, what if Dagan
gets back in, hmm?

Urgh.

These were found on
her mangled corpse.

- That smells bad.
- Ja, that's hers.

Your Majesties will need a
moment to mourn, I'm sure.

Eh.

It's no great loss.

Hmm.

Pagan Europe will just have to
struggle on without her.

Let us talk the flame-powder.

Ja - Let's.

We've heard you're flat broke.

I'm not I just raided Latvia

Very raid able is your Latvia.

Ja.

So, this flame-powder,
does it really work?

I'm thinking maybe we can
try out the flame-powder

on some peasants!

No Approach, friends.

We don't kill commoners for fun here.

Really?

What a bore

I like slaying peasants.

Ja, you have the mad skills.

How goes the day, travellers?

Humble Joan, we've come to tell
you something.

To tell you that Queen Dagan

Queen Dagan - Have we met before?

Speak.

There's nothing to fear.

Queen Dagan.

Nothing to fear indeed.

For Humble Joan protects us all.

Her steady hand guiding the great

plough shed of this nation.

Indeed, here is a woman whose
words you may trust

Bye-bye

Catch up with our friends
and invite them to stay awhile.

You, search the dunes where
they came from.

Something's going on here.

Let's go

Make haste

I hoped you'd come back.

Up you get Dagan.

Ow! Get off!

I am still your queen!
How ruddy dare you?!

Ow!

You know, even if you offered
help to me now,

I would spurn it.

You don't happen to offer it, do you?

Dagan's dead, you said.

Fortune has offered us a
subject for demonstration.

She is a queen, dress her as such

Our subject thinks much of her
dainty toes.

She is famous for her lovely feet.

Ja - We call this cord a fuse.

Simply light one end of it

Bang.

That was a little bang.

We came for large bangs.

Large bangs.

Large bangs, large bangs, large bangs.

You will have one.

For now, we put our powder
in a tube of iron

You said she knew nothing
of pain

I know I did.

I think she does now.

Her foot is quite badly fucked up.

Yeah, it really is

I'm going to work my way around
your body, Dagan.

But first, tell me.

Is that the pair you travelled with?

I don't know who they are.

Well, whoever they are,

they're about to watch you
suffer very, very much.

Nice.

She could try to bargain with
our peasantry lives,

and yet she still doesn't give us away.

Primed and ready.

Let's see what it will do to the human

Knee

Again, we light the fuse.

Hold.

We, the common people,
wish to avenge ourselves

on the tyrant

Amuse us.

Give the peasant a go.

Nice and messy, please.

Chunks everywhere.

Dagan, let this show you where we stand

I think she meant to
hurl it into that chest.

Treachery!

Shulmay's a rotten throw, but I'm not!

Close it!

Ha! The powder needs air to burn.

Starved of air, it cannot catch

- Bang, bang!
- Ja!

That was a large bang!

Guards!

Argh!

Argh!

Oh, Dagan

I've bested you once already,

now you're all starved and leaking

I fought for myself back then
Now I fight for something else.

Argh!

Ladies, fighting with swords - Ja.

Argh!

Let me tell you a secret, Dagan

I've begun to enjoy it
at the top of the tree.

I can tell you that,
'cause you'd understand

I was going to melt this down
for gold coin, but

wouldn't it look fine on Joan's
most humble head?

'Take the crown, Joan!

You're the people's queen!'

'Oh, but I mustn't '

'Oh, but we wish it!'

'Well, if I must '

Oh!

There's no sky.

It's just you

No!

The spade

and the thing what must be spaded

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la

Humble Joan,

for eternity your memory will

Oh, that was magnificent!

- Outstanding!
- Ja!

- High fun!
- High fun!

Queen Dagan, we wanted you to
win all along

I really enjoyed that.

- Right.
- That was so good.

Ja - IVARR: Ja

My blood is falling out

My life ebbs away.

Dagan.

This land will need a ruler when I'm gone.

I was a bastard.

Joan.

Leofwine.

Ivarr, Gunthrum.

We're all bastards.

Maybe countries need leaders
who aren't bastards.

Shulmay

will you be queen?

I can't be queen.

Can I?

You were made for it.

Trust me.

Shulmay.

Do you promise to rule with
wisdom and kindness?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

Queen Shulmay.

I don't want to die on the ground.

Help me up, my Queen

Uh, Queen Shulmay.

Any chance you could give us the recipe

for the bang-bang powder?

No.

Just asking.

Yeah, no need to be snippy.

Come on Let's go.

Which way is the boat?

It was your job to remember that.

Erm, it was close to
a very distinctive pebble.

Oh ja, by that big, sort
of, sandy-coloured section

Uh.

I see a snail.

Come, Big Liam.

I'm ready

No.

Come.

Cease your approach, Big Liam

I've had an idea.

This will stop the bleeding.

Just a tiny pinch of the powder.

Liam, I see you,
Big Liam I'm ready.

That'll burn the wound shut Stand back

Ouch! Fucking hell!

The bleeding's stopped.

Saved your life.

Come.

Thank you.

Earl Bobik.

I'm an earl!

Hey, I'm an earl!

A ruddy earl!

Oof.

Where are you off to?

Why, off to the citadel.

We have a coronation to arrange!

I'm the Queen!

You're the fucking Queen!

I'm the Queen!

Shulmay, you found your song!

I'm the Queen!

The fucking Queen!

And the crown stayed on
the right head.

The head it was meant for all along.

Hooray for Queen Shulmay,
the people's queen!

What about Bobik?

I moved to a palace.

And I found my beloved countess.

Here you are, dear.

And everybody lived
happily ever after.

The end.

Sorry for all the swearing

Thank you! Thank you so much!

Many thanks!

Don't forget the puppeteer

Thank you Thank you.

Thank you - DAGAN: Thanks.

Is it true what the grown-ups say,

that you're the other queen in the story?

What?

She was so mean and angry.

Nobody would want to be her friend.

Do I look like her?

No, you don't.

So, it can't be me, can it?

Or at least it hasn't been for a very long.

Oh, for goodness sake!

Seize them!

Shall I milk thy herd for you, kind sir?

Hey, I'm in love.

My fingers keep on clicking to the beat.

He locked her away in a tower.

And anyone who spoke of her again

would be pressed through a cattle grid.

Ebony and ivory and dancing
and in the street.

Hey, it's 'cause of you the world

I've heard she's done this:
poos in your wells.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

Guda, dunga, dunga, dunga,
dung, dung, dung.

I'm gonna fuck you up!

Come on, let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go, let's go

like a jungle drum.

What, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee,
dee, dee, dee

.the moment between
the striking and the fire.

- A dragon, then.
- They're not real

Fuck off

.kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.

No one ever stopped.

My hands are in the air, yes, I'm in love.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

Guda, dunga, dunga, dunga,
dung, dung, dung.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

Guda, dunga, dunga, dunga,
dung, dung, dung.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

Rung, dung, da-rung, gung, gung.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

Rung, dung, da-rung, gung, gung.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

Rung, dung, da-rung, gung, gung.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

Rung, dung, da-rung, gung,
gung

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum.

My heart is beating like a jungle.

Rung, dung, da-rung, gung, gung

I'm alive, Dagan!

I'm still alive!
