All language subtitles for Kings S01E03

previously, on kings...

I looked up and saw
A great swarm of butterflies

Upon my head like a crown--

God's signal...To begin.

you guys hear?
Squad got pinched.

Bastards ambushed them.
They took hostages.

it's jack benjamin!

You just saved the king's son.

you're gonna get shown off.

You're gonna take
A pretty picture with my father

And then get sent back
To wherever you came from.

I'm a man with position
Offering you a thank-you.

Even if you ask for half
My kingdom, as the saying goes.

he'll be trouble,
You watch.

The only way to deal with him
Is a bullet.

everyone thinks I'm brave.
But I'm not.

be brave now.

you want blood?
I surrender!

Shoot me and call that enough!

it's a peace treaty.
They're offering us a truce.

this truce...Might not be

The best thing for the country
Right now.

shepherd's stunt
Was too grand a gesture.

My hands are tied.

call the treasury.
Pull the gold.

but I was thinking
I might stay.

Feels like the braver thing.

don't go!

don't go.

Don't go.

there are days
When things must be right.

Today things must be perfect.

They come, as we speak,
Our enemy,

And we must treat them
As friends.

Processional, signing,
Reception.

Every detail
Has been carefully chosen,

And details count.

Seating charts can alter
The course of delicate history,

Battles lost for want
Of a dessert spoon.

We can change
The world today...

So long as we provide
Perfection.

the day's beginning, sir.

and a good day it will be.

Feeling luckier already.

two inches
From the king's coffee.

Mind the eaves.

They've reached shiloh.

that one's fine.
fine is for every other day.

If today goes as it should--
as it will.

some photographer's
Gonna snap the picture

To keep the memory of the day

You made peace
With the implacable,

And I'll be damned if in it
Your tie is just fine.

They're going to sign.
You did it.

without any reverend.

that's right.
All by yourself.

you were right
About shepherd.

He's a bad omen.

We have a chance at peace
Finally.

Anything goes wrong,

We could be plunged back
Into the black of war.

Take him out.

today might not be
The best time.

as soon as
The treaty's signed.

Use your best.

Order given.
Radio silent.

Nervous people
Challenging my assumptions.

Hanson, you look
Two steps off awful.

Treaty looks good, though.
thank you, sir.

pencils, perry?
sharp, sir.

relations between
Gath and gilboa

Are historically contentious,

Going back
To the previous century.

But since the end
Of hostilities at the front...

sleep well?

How was breakfast?
shh! Pay attention.

forward march!

Detail...Halt!

so...

Do we shake hands?

or shall we wait till
There's something to shake over?

good thought.

Join hands over things
Accomplished, not intended.

Two pens, one paper.

We are close, gentlemen.

We sign our names,
We shake hands,

And future ghosts
Know us for our contributions,

Not our wars.

Who's in?

never before
Has so much hope

Pinned on one crucial moment.

mom, you made it.
hey.

come on in.
They're about to sign.

let's just get down
To veteran's affairs

And get eli's check
So I can get back home.

yeah, mom, we will.
You just got here.

You should see this.

This is what eli died for.

we have every indication
This treaty will be treated

Not only as a permanent truce
Between the countries

But as an opportunity to open
Up the borders to trade.

we need to review
The treaty first.

I assure you the treaty
Is as we last left it,

Every word consistent.

just a moment.
Before all that...

Where's your captain,
David shepherd?

I'd like to meet the man who
Offered the peace we accepted.

He's not here?
I'm afraid not.

We were of a mind to security.

Entry limited
To only the essential.

given the scope
Of the agreement,

Which includes...
they're not signing.

it was your brother's
Sacrifice that got them there.

Now we get to watch them
Squander it.

You don't have to do this,
David...

Staying in shiloh.

I'm not coming home, mom.
Not yet.

you have your family,
Your press.

If we are to sign,

He should be here as well,
Don't you think?

We'll gladly wait.

not certain
What's going on...

why aren't they signing?

you're just one boy.

What good can you do here
Against all that?

...Conversation that bill
Tried to pick up

Between our king
And gath premier shaw.

Okay, it looks like...

it's the peace talks.

They're asking for me.

I'll be back
As soon as I can.

david...

it's the king.
david, wait.

Don't go.

I have to.

go away!

Shoo!

no. They're not shooin'.

thomasina's gonna be mad.

I hate when she gets mad.

five days, no break,
No sleep.

But he gets to lunch
With the premier.

you're going to table.
Five-course meal.

Napkin in lap.
Bread on your left.

White wine, red wine,
Water goblet.

The king always grabs
The wrong glass.

So if you're sitting
On his right,

Expect not to have one.
Silverware--

start from the outside,
Move in.

understand,
We are far from finished.

Do nothing to screw this up.

these are volatile people.

You can give them
No excuse to take offense.

you just keep getting
Into trouble.

I'm trying to memorize
Goblet order,

And all I can think about
Is my mom.

She's in shiloh today.
My brother.

I know some people
In veteran's affairs.

Maybe I can get someone to
Help her, walk her through it.

Don't worry.

Think you're ready for this?

he's ready enough.

sir, what you've done today,

Getting gath here
To sign for peace,

If there's anything I can do...

being king means never
Sleeping through the night.

An old enemy said that
Before I had him executed.

People ask how I cope
With all the responsibilities,

Millions of souls relying on
All the good air in my lungs.

It's an easy secret.

Every day I look for
Signs in my life

And try to read into them
God's intentions.

Take a good look
At your life right now, captain,

And think hard.

What does god want you
To do today?

to shut the hell up.

there's hope yet.

Premier shaw,

Captain shepherd.

the hero of gilboa,
Slayer of tanks.

I imagined a giant.

sir.

all I've seen in my life...
I'm not often moved.

You did a rare thing.

I'm sorry, sir.
You have no seat.

that's not possible.
I'm sorry, sir.

It's the case.
It's the seating chart.

then change it.
Go ask the queen.

the queen spoke plain.

No more changes.

not invited to table?
The crown prince?

just offering my regrets.

State luncheons...
I have better things to do.

mrs. Shepherd, uh...

David told me you were here.

He wanted to be here himself,
But he was called away.

I'm a friend of his.

He told me why you've come.

I'm so sorry about your son.

I know the red tape
Can be sticky here.

I just wanted to see if I could
Make anything easier for you.

I can see why he likes you.

If you really wanna help me,
Help me get david back home.

I know you think
He doesn't belong here--

oh, I--
I don't want him to leave

Because he doesn't belong.

I'm scared he does.

He's my son.

I knew before anyone
He was born different.

In the caul.
Seven sons, a mother knows.

This one...You protect
From what wants to happen.

He has a destiny in him.

People with destinies...
Things don't go well for them.

They die old and unhappy

Or young and unfinished.

No. Not for him.

looks to be
Enjoying himself.

May be a partner after all.

I'm not so sure about him.

I don't think general mallick
Much wants to be here.

and what about you,
Captain?

What do you think
About our treaty?

Do you believe your people

Are willing to accept
Sacrificing

To their hated enemy?

I want to hear a simple
Soldier's opinion.

Is your country
Ready for peace?

To be honest,
I was instructed not to speak

For fear of saying
Something stupid

And jeopardizing the treaty.

It's that important
To everyone here,

And it's that important to me.

My brother died,

And this treaty
Is the only thing

That can give that
Any meaning, so...

If it's not too rude,

I'm, uh, gonna follow
My orders for once...

Keep my mouth shut and just
Try to use the right glass.

he's proving useful
After all.

Stay the order?

When we leave,
Wherever he stands, he dies.

yes, sir.

that's not going to work.
it will.

don't bother.
you give up, I don't.

That's what's different
About us.

you're scared of thomasina.
That's the difference.

yes!
Master of the birds!

sometimes you should
Maybe listen to me.

we've traveled far,
Haven't we?

pretty damn, sir.
You're a hell of a commander.

well...My father doesn't
Think I represent.

the old man doesn't know
A fig from a fart.

We'll be at war forever
With him as king.

I know it's been hard.

You've given your bones,

Stopped the clock
On your lives.

I don't have the power
To change all that,

As much as I do well with it.

But...

I do wield an ample slice
Of the treasury.

Who wants to waste some money?

Private.

Hey.
Don't worry about it.

Heads up.

For your mom.

Oh, no.

This is all wrong.

Miss...
mm-hmm.

This soldier has been valiantly
Defending your country.

Maybe you should take him
Into the dressing room

And make sure that fits.

Soldier, you do
As the nice lady says.

You sell cars here?

and where does the great
Hero of gilboa hail from?

I grew up on a farm near...
Port prosperity.

you mean the port of sorrow.
We have a different name for it.

my father died
Defending that land.

I...Try to call it
By the name he did.

Excuse me.

old habits.
Stealing desserts.

you went there
To help my mom.

She called me.

I just wanted to help
Or say hello.

Not my best idea.

everyone else in your
Family always sends someone

Than to see a fish
Or the mermaid.

she, um...She doesn't
Think you're safe in shiloh.

yeah, she might have
A point.

You're the only person
In the city I can trust,

And I only ever see you
In the hallway.

well, as far as I know,
Life happens in hallways.

not the time for that,
Young man.

maybe later,
If we make it through the day,

Maybe we could...

I don't have an actual idea.

none needed.
I'd like that. Go.

I see you're still
Nose-to-nose in private corners.

obviously not too private.

it was nice that you took
An interest in him

When he was
The press's darling,

But, uh, that card's
Been played.

I'm not playing a card.

but you should be.

a boy like that, he's...
He's innocent now,

But he'll get a taste
Of manor life soon enough,

And then surely
He'll start enjoying things.

Desire for comfort
Replaces desire proper

All too quickly,

And the chairs here
Are very soft.

I picked them myself.

we've hemmed
And hawed enough.

Let's have at it.

My wife commands an army

Ours wouldn't want to face
Allied.

there's an inconsistency
In the treaty.

Water rights in the west
Are in your favor.

This is not what we agreed.

no, I assure you,
That's correct,

Amended by the percentages
You requested.

your king built your country
On lies like this.

He won't have us anymore.

if there's an issue,
We can fix it later.

You've come all this way.
Just...Words on a page.

this is words that you
Twist to your advantage.

We will not sign this!
Fix it, and we'll be back.

wait--you can't.
You can't do this.

Please.

Please. Please.

get off of him.

The great hero's just a child,
And a stupid one at that.

Cry for your brother again--

See what answer you get
This time.

Lay a hand on me now.

I beg you,
Give me the reason.

This is an insult.
There will be no treaty.

congratulations, shepherd.
We're going back to war.

the queen was already unhappy

You and the prince
Didn't attend to table,

And now she doesn't know
What to do about anything,

Being foul to everyone.

and the king?

he hasn't said a word
Since gath left...

Just...Scary quiet
The way he gets.

They say it's the worst day
The king's ever had.

Treasury.

Have them announce it now.

Let's see if we can't make
A bad day worse.

you look tired, david.

I keep having bad dreams.

disturbing?

no more than when
I'm awake.

you'll be fine.

I really screwed up.

yeah. I saw that.

Not your finest hour.

I always have bad dreams
In the city.

Something about shiloh.

They say that dreams
Are a 60th part prophecy.

Here maybe even more.

The key...

Read the signs.

Find out what it is that
They are trying to tell you.

don't go.

But I shouldn't have come today.

maybe.

Where're you going?

where I should have been
All along.

we have the response
From gath.

They said
They'd reconsider leaving.

they've agreed to hold
For three hours

So we can weigh
A new demand.

They want an additional
Ten kilometers into the north

And all the water rights

To compensate for bad faith
And personal insult.

there's nothing to be done.

They never intended to sign.
It's not shepherd's fault.

They were just looking
For an excuse.

If it hadn't been one thing,
It would have been another.

The pattern in the rug.
all to lead us on.

and maybe break our hearts
In the offing.

sir.
this house is on fire!

Whatever it is can wait!

it's the treasury.

They're saying it's empty,
Bankrupt.

I don't understand.
How?

he didn't.

it's treason,
What you've done!

you cut your strings.

You think
I'd just let you stand?

what we built over decades,
All the country, gone in days?

All gone because of your grudge,

All gone on the day
That we could have had peace?

we'll all be stronger for it.
In time.

With real leadership.

This country is at its best
When its king listens to me.

do you hate the idea of peace

Or just the lost opportunity
Of more profit?

Or maybe you just can't stand

That someone had a thought
To defy you.

it doesn't matter why
I want the war to continue,

Only that I do.

was it that sad in here,
William?

Were you that lonely?

I could have had any number
Of women sent over,

And look where we are now.

go ahead.
Killing me won't change a thing.

Your country dies with me.

oh, no.

Things will change.

I'll stand, and you will
Watch me do it.

I don't die in a corner.
I plow through or break a wall.

How do you think
I got to be king?

by begging me.
we'll see.

A car, small detail.

countryside, sir?
no. Gehenna.

We're going to hell.

'scuse me.

Um...I'm sorry,

But there seems to be
A problem with your card.

It's been declined.

my card's linked
To the royal treasury.

Run it again.

I did.

my--my card's been declined?

My card's been declined.

Uh-oh. I hope there's no problem
With the treasury.

no reason whatsoever
For alarm.

There's still some time
Before the clock runs out,

And we still remain hopeful that
A settlement can be reached.

I assure you that the king's
Personally engaged...

there's no hope, is there?

My boy.

it was all my fault.

I'm sure
They'd let you think that.

They only use people like us.
Look what they do.

Make me wait all day
Just to get paid

Because my son died!

it's a complicated process...

to hell with them,
Their death benefit.

remember,
Gath is not our enemy...

why did he die unless
Something good happens today?

there's no meaning
In his death, david,

No benefit.

It's just pain.

Come home.

Let's have no more of it.

both sides are eager
For the coming peace.

abedon.

...

vesper.

ah!

He's awake also.

Bad dreams, I'll wager.

I warned you.

Being king means never sleeping
Through the night again.

it's day.

You got the schiller.

working out my translation.

The verse
Is fighting me tonight.

Today.

so the bad days
Outweigh the good.

long time takes its toll.

You start to...

See things you're...
Not quite sure are there.

I used to fight it.

Force the distinction--
Is, isn't.

After a while, it got boring,
So I just gave in.

Being mad means...

You'll never be lonely again.

I don't have
That good fortune.

no. You saw too clearly.
That can't be fun.

There's a black weight on you.

Looks like a squid
Over your head.

all goes well
In my kingdom.

yourkingdom? Mm...

It used to be half mine
Until silas came and...

Took it and built
His monstrosity and...

Told them all I was dead.

your people celebrated
When I said so.

The bloody king of carmel,
Vesper abedon, finally falls.

They melted your statue
Into a brick

And sunk it into the sea.

Shouldn't have killed so many,
Maybe.

I see it now.

You didn't come here today
To taunt me.

You want something.

when I marched onto carmel,

Your reserves
Were already empty,

The money never found.

is that it?
My gold again?

you hid a nation's
Material wealth

In a home or in a bank.

I want it today.
Where is it?

30 years, a king in a box.

I haven't told you yet.
Why today?

I could kill you.

you won't kill me.

I'm the only one
Who ever tells you the truth.

Waste of a day
This turned out to be.

Getting nothin' done!

She's alive?

You spared her?

she's a grown woman now.
She lives well.

you waited all these years...

Till you needed somethin'...
To show me this.

and you think
Youhave patience?

She's not alone in the picture.

there are others?

Alive?

Who else?

Please.

Please...
the gold.

no truth whatsoever
To the rumors

Of problems with our treasury.

You are all welcome
To go to your banks and check.

Just a move, the gold
Being taken to a new location,

Prompting a system error.

I'm no system error!
I'm his damn benefactor!

Where did he get
That much gold?

is all that really necessary?

this isn't your concern.

well, it is
When it spoils my plans.

...Delicate test
Of diplomacy

Face-to-face
With staff mediators...

I want you to stop
This stupid game.

game.
Your husband--

my husband is a brat.
But no more so than my brother.

Hmm? I can't have you two
Spoiling the holidays.

This thing between you...
Let's just call it done.

he's gone too far this time.

and I'm sure you went
Too far right on back,

Then him again, your serve.

The match has to end.

No more retaliations, huh?

You take his last play
On the chin.

why would I do that?

when we banished andrew
From court,

We had good reason.

But he could find himself
Invited back.

Your life is too empty,
William.

It'd be nice to have
Your son around again,

Wouldn't you say?

two minutes to the hour.

then they're gone.

don't blame david
For what happened.

He was only trying to help
See through to your goals.

People like him only
Make you a stronger king.

maybe you defend him
Too well.

oh, don't you start lecturing
Me on class distinction

And social hierarchy.

You yourself
Were scandalously poor once.

I don't care about that.

I wonder how he'd react...
If he knew about you.

The story
That I'd wager good money

You haven't shared
With him.

I think he might
Surprise you.

oh, you're gonna make me
Come out and say it?

Have you forgotten your vow?

I love you so much
It embarrasses us both,

So you know I take no joy.

You once asked me
To bear witness...

So that it ever appeared
That you forget

I should be there
To remind you.

I didn't want the job,

But I'm doing it
Because you asked.

And so I have.

So close.

...And visiting
The whole week.

I just wish there was
Something I could tell them,

Something I could do.

there's nothing you can do.

...Yet to be explained.

It's uncertain at this time,

But there might be
Some connection

Between this abrupt departure

And the news that the treasury
Was bankrupt earlier today.

Stop the car.

Stop the car!
what?

stop the car!

I need you to get out.

what, honey?
I'll explain later, okay?

what are you doing?
sorry, man I need the car.

It's an emergency.
It's an emergency, come on!

wait a minute! My cab!
david!

hey, hey!
That's my cab! Hey!

out of your car!
Out of the car!

don't move!
show me your hands!

don't go!
stop, or I'll shoot!

please!
hands up!

you have to finish this!
that's your message?

please!
you think you can make peace?

There is no peace!

There never will be until
Every one of you is dead,

Everyone you love is dead!

back away from him.
Back away!

hold your positions!
get down, stand down now!

back down now!
back, get back!

drop your weapon!
stand down!

Stand down!

Why don't we take a walk?

you want it over too.
I believe that.

But your generals,
They won't let you.

gath is its military,

And the boy destroyed
One of our tanks.

They've been shamed.

what'll it take
To make them stop?

Not some petty terrace
Or a stretch of rock.

What do you need
To bring to them?

What's the real cost
Of real peace?

my people have no hope
For better.

They see how you live,
And they want it.

They want this--
Industry, games,

Cranes, shiloh.

The dream you gave them.

they want my city.

I'll do you one better.

I'll give you the means
To make your own.

Port prosperity,
A world center of trade.

I took it from you
And with it built shiloh.

Take it back.

You build something with it
For your people,

Not your generals.

Prosperity.
Or the opportunity for it.

Get your generals in line.

Issue peace--
Real, lasting.

Six months hence,
Under gath control.

your people won't accept it.

they'll learn to.

If they know the reason.
If you will accept.

I made an offer...

And gath accepted.

We will,
In six months' time,

Give over port prosperity...

In exchange for lasting peace.

It will be difficult,

But it's a sacrifice
We'll be glad for...

In time.

michelle.

sir.

you've had a busy day.

sir.

that's not a very detailed
Account of your actions.

sir, I just knew
I couldn't let them leave.

there's an upper limit
Of tolerance.

Are you trying to get
Sent home, captain?

no.

I need to be here, sir.

What you did today--

Saving the treaty,
Making peace...

They don't understand
What you've done for us,

What you do, but I've seen it,
And I'm in awe.

You were chosen to be king
For a reason.

When I read the signs
In my life...

They say that I was
Sent here to help you.

What I can do for you...
I will.

Then do that.

Another matter.

My daughter.

doesn't seem very interested.

then no matter at all then.

you believe him,
That he's loyal?

we have nothing to fear
From him.

He acts in our favor.

And fortune
Clearly favors him.

Some people...
Make me a stronger king.

abort the operation.

What?
Then get word through, now.

Our man went radio silent
After your order.

It may be too late
To stop him.

what are we gonna do?
get it done.

No bird's telling me
What to do.

that a grenade?

Wait!

Oh!

check fire!

birds are gone, ma'am.
