BRUNOR : 

HEY! 

That’s enough, Tristan!

TRISTAN : 

Of course!

Of course you’re on his side! 

BRUNOR : 

Look at him! 

Look what you did to him! 

TRISTAN : 

…

[ he glances din’s way. ] 

PALAMEDES : 

Din, are you okay? 

[ din looks up. his face is badly bloodied. without a word, he jumps onto his horse and rides away. ] 

PALAMEDES : 

Din, wait! 

Dinadan! 

[ cut to guinevere looking pensive. wah ] 

LANCELOT : 

[ sighs ] 

…My queen. 

I know you’ve already made up your mind.

GUINEVERE : 

Have you come to try and stop me? 

LANCELOT : 

Guinevere…

Let’s leave together. 

Let’s leave Britain. Leave it all behind. 

Just you and me. 

We’ll get a patch of land somewhere, far away from here, where we’ll grow old together. 

Where we won’t have to worry about all this. 

GUINEVERE : 

Is it me you’re trying to convince…

…or yourself? 

LANCELOT : 

… 

GUINEVERE : 

You’re right. Everything would be much simpler

if all we wanted was a quiet life, without any care for the consequences. 

But I’ve always held onto to my responsibilities…

…as have you. 

We know the risks, don’t we? 

Have no fear, my love.

I’ve come up with a compromise. 

I will leave your lands…

…but neither will I go back to Arthur. Not for now, at least.

Not until I have the truth of this whole affair. 

LANCELOT : 

…

Whatever you decide…

…I remain your knight and champion, my queen. 

I shall serve you always, as is my only duty. 

GUINEVERE : 

As a Queen’s knight, of course…

…but as a mother?

I sometimes think of Galahad, who chose the Round Table…

It’s a delicate matter, so⎯promise me this one thing.

Promise me you’ll help her along the path of knighthood. That’s all I ask of you. 

She’ll need you, in the days to come. 

LANCELOT : 

…You have my word, my queen.

[ speaking of queens! ] 

TRISTAN : 

…

ISEULT : 

…

There’s no point in wallowing in it, Tristan. 

He had it coming, if you want my opinion. 

…

My sweet. What’s on your mind? 

TRISTAN : 

…

I was…

…driven by rage. 

I had him in my grasp, and all I wanted to do

was hurt him. 

I don’t understand how I could go that far.

ISEULT : 

He said some rather hurtful things. 

I was furious, myself. If it were me, I surely would’ve done worse. 

TRISTAN : 

[ sighs ]

…I’m going to agree to Mark’s offer. 

ISEULT : 

What?! 

Don’t tell me Dinadan convinced you after all! 

Going back to Mark⎯it’d be suicide! 

What do you think will happen when he finds out about⎯

TRISTAN : 

I’ve thought of it.

Damn it, it’s all I can seem to do. 

What do you think will happen when Mark hears about it? 

If we’re not by his side when he does, he’ll hunt us down,

and follow us wherever we go, for fear we’ll make a claim for the throne. 

And now that I’m no longer part of the Round Table, I have no one else to rely on.

Wouldn’t it be better to try and reason with him,

rather than live on the run, in a country that’ll be at war because of us? 

Believe me, Iseult…

…all I want to do is protect you and our child. 

[ he gently strokes her belly. ] 

And Mark will be glad to have them to name as his heir, so…

…it’s the best thing we can do. 

ISEULT : 

…

…I suppose this summer had to end eventually.
