MORDRED :
No…
No!
No!
Wake up!
PALAMEDES :
[ looking around ]
Where’s that sound coming from?
…
Mordred!
What happened?!
MORDRED :
It’s…
Breuse was there, and…
… he…
… he…
PALAMEDES :
Prepare your horse so we can lift him on!
We have to staunch the bleeding
and bring him to Camelot!
It’s not that far off, quickly!
[ cut to orkney again! ]
MORGAN :
…
[ sighs ]
…Damn it.
… Mordred…
What are you up to?
MORDRED :
…
[ palamedes is pacing around the room. ]
PALAMEDES :
How is he?
HEALER :
He lost a lot of blood, and one of his kidneys was damaged.
I’m not a mage. I could only sew the wound shut.
All we can do now is wait.
ARTHUR :
Mordred.
Dinadan wants a word.
MORDRED :
…
Dinadan…
I beg your forgiveness.
I didn’t…
I wanted…
I…
… panicked…
DINADAN :
…Until the end, I wanted to believe
that the lot of you cared about the greater good than you did your own.
The way I saw it, it was so simple. If we could find the Grail, if we could sever its ties to Britain, then…
…slowly but surely, everything would go back to the way it was.
But it’s never so simple for you, is it?
MORDRED :
For… us?
DINADAN :
Nobles.
Royals.
Being stripped of everything that makes you rulers…
…that’s what scares you,
more than anything.
Britain can choke, as long as you don’t lose anything.
…
I didn’t tell Arthur anything.
Doesn’t matter if you have the Grail, or if you have anything to do with what happened to the Welsh, or that you wounded me…
He’ll wipe the slate clean, just like he did with Gawain.
Because if he admits that his knights - no, his own family - are fallible…
…then he has to acknowledge that the Round Table is too.
And the idea of watching his life’s great purpose fall to ruin
is unbearable.
I didn’t do it for you.
But I’ve had enough of this.
It’s exhausting to do everything you can to make the world a better place
only to watch others fuck it up.
I’m neither stubborn nor noble enough to keep going like this.
MORDRED :
But…what if
I can change things? For everyone?
If I can figure out how to use the Grail, then perhaps⎯
DINADAN :
You sound just like him.
Arthur with his Round Table, you with your Grail…
…You cling to them like you’re humanity’s great saviors.
What comes next?
What happens when you’re no longer around?
…
That’s what I thought.
( Hehe. ) …I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but my old man was right about the Round Table.
Shame Brunor’s not here to see it.
