BEDIVERE :
Palamedes, wait!
Listen, I’m sorry you had to hear about it like this,
but stop and think for a second!
[ mordred ducks behind the stall to hide. ]
BEDIVERE :
If you go to Tintagel now, it won’t change a thing, you can’t⎯
PALAMEDES :
I can’t what?!
Change what was done?
BEDIVERE :
[ sighs. ]
Exactly. Let us take care of it.
When Cornwall’s dukes come to a decision, then we can act and demand justice be done.
How is that so difficult to understand?
PALAMEDES :
Not you, Bedivere…
Don’t try to convince me
that you sincerely believe that decision will be fair.
BEDIVERE :
…
[ sighs ]
PALAMEDES :
…I have to catch up to Dinadan.
I’m worried about him, running off like that…
He must be on his way to Tintagel.
BEDIVERE :
You’re all as stubborn as they come.
It’s a miracle the Round Table’s lasted this long.
[ palamedes remains silent. ]
…Look after yourself,
and Zukar too.
MORDRED :
…
GALAHAD :
…
MORDRED :
Galahad?
What are you doing here?
GALAHAD :
Looking after my horse, that’s all!
What about you, sneaking about like a thief?
MORDRED :
( I’m the one sneaking about like a thief? )
GALAHAD :
…Are you also planning to go to Tintagel?
MORDRED :
…
No.
I… I don’t think so. I don’t know.
I just want… a change of scenery.
GALAHAD :
Scenery that doesn’t have Arthur in it, huh?
He wasn’t very tactful, and…
…I think he’s too attached to Merlin’s prophecy.
MORDRED :
How
do you know
about the prophecy?
GALAHAD :
( Huh? )
Dame Guinevere mentioned it during Lamorak and Aglovale’s funerals.
A prophecy that foresaw the end of the Round Table and Arthur's own death.
MORDRED :
…Ah.
Haha… ha…
GALAHAD :
Mordred…?
MORDRED :
… I’m the one…
… who will make this prophecy come true.
GALAHAD :
What are you saying?
MORDRED :
I didn’t choose this. But the prophecy
is about me.
I’m the one who’ll put an end to the Round Table and kill Arthur. So I…
… I have to leave.
… I’m the problem.
I’m doomed to destroy it all.
GALAHAD :
And you think leaving would change something?
MORDRED :
At least, I’ll have done everything in my power to stop it.
So I’m going to Percival.
Maybe if I stay in his court and cut all ties to the Round Table…
GALAHAD :
…
Maybe the prophecy has another meaning?
Ending the Round Table, killing Arthur…
Could it be a metaphor, or a turn of phrase? What if your role wasn’t to destroy all of this,
but to start a new era?
MORDRED :
A new era for what?
GALAHAD :
For Britain? For knighthood? I don’t know.
What I do know is that
Merlin’s prophecies can be tricky. When I first got to Camelot, I accidentally eavesdropped on a conversation between Guinevere and Merlin.
He was telling her a knight by the name of Galahad
would become the noblest of them all…
…by taking the Siege Perilous at their king’s side.
I still don’t know what he meant by that, or even if it was about me.
Lancelot used to be called Galahad, after all. And she’s been in quite the number of perilous situations at her king’s side.
Isn’t she the noblest of them all?
As for you, didn’t Merlin make another prophecy about you?
MORDRED :
…That I’d be
the man my father never was.
GALAHAD :
( That’s it! )
Loth did everything in his power to destroy the Round Table.
You’re doing everything you can to preserve it, despite the prophecy.
I think you’re on the right path.
MORDRED :
… It’s possible…
Unless…
( I’m not Loth’s son… ? )
GALAHAD :
…
… You know…
Even if you did bring about the end of the Round Table,
would it be such a bad thing?
[ tintagel baby. surely this will be fine. ]
SERVANT :
My lord.
You have to eat,
build back some strength before your trial.
MARK :
Tell me…
Do you know what happened to Percival?
Jory told me he refused to see me, but
I haven’t seen him around at all in over a week.
SERVANT :
…No one knows, my lord. Perhaps Sir Percival just left.
MARK :
With Isaye?
SERVANT :
…
MARK :
… I see. It’s a shame, really.
… I was starting to take a real liking to the lad.
I’ll be in my study.
Don’t disturb me.
[ mark stands at the window, lost in the past, when the door slams shut behind him. ]
DINADAN :
Good evening, Mark.
We’ve got a lot to talk about, you and I.
