- This is a good spot. - Give me the sickle.
- The moon isn't full. - Yes, it is.
- Oh, you've got this - It's full.
- Wait. Wait. - Freezing.
Hm. Waiting.
And begin.
In the beginning, there were the brothers,
the first and the second man.
The prophecy of Veran is the most
important in the history of this land.
There is one child sent by the Gods,
and she will lead us into the light!
I need to find the girl before he does.
- Veran. - You have betrayed me.
- Why have you lied to us? - Go!
Veran's finished.
If it's not Veran, then who?
Do you know what a messiah is?
Harka is risen!
I serve the dead man!
Some are just mad-men or women,
but some are dangerous, very dangerous.
- Eat. - I await the great vision.
I await the great vision!
Listen very carefully.
If you really want to destroy something,
you don't use a sword, you use love.
The fisherman who lives at the mouth of the river
has three sons.
Bring them to me.
Dad.
Hi there.
- Morning. - Hello.
This is a fine, quiet place you have here.
One...
Two...
Three.
We should talk.
When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
Oh, no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch
You got to pick up every stitch
The rabbits runnin' in the ditch
Beatniks are out to make it rich
- This man she was with... - The beggar.
I mean, he looked like a beggar.
I need you to tell me everything you saw.
Everything you heard.
I've faced down armies. Been captured, tortured.
Never once been afraid.
And are you afraid now, Praefectus?
- Are you afraid? - I fear nothing, General.
- But... - But what?
The attack on the Oppida...
- If we'd been here rather than... - Rather than what, Praefectus?
Your predecessor, Lucius...
There was no better man who fought with me in the field.
And suddenly...
It can happen to the best of us.
What I mean is, are you still with me?
I need you to help me pursue my purpose.
Our true purpose.
I will follow you into hell itself.
- Where's the general? - Ooh. Who are you?
- The general's resting. - Wake him up.
The fuck do you think you are?
What if we told you to turn round, get on your horse and fuck off?
Or you could give us both a polish.
We just got paid.
- Oh! No, don't... - What's going on?
- What do you want? - The general.
Excuse the mess.
Bother with the locals. Quite took us by surprise.
Talking of surprises, let me guess.
You were just passing, thought you'd drop in.
"Aulus, mate. What was I thinking? Here's your money back?"
When you were riding over here, did you not think to yourself,
"What if he's still upset about what I did.
What if he's still so miffed he turns me inside out
and feeds me to his dogs?"
I've got something for you.
Is it the young daughter of a blind fucking father?
I don't have all day.
Well, the suspense is killing me.
It's a mile from here, buried in the ground.
Well, I must say, I'm intrigued.
So who sent you? Whose errand girl are you? You can tell me.
- It's a straight yes or no. - How much?
- My weight in silver. - Cheeky bitch.
Twice my weight. Unless you're doing just fine here.
Unless you don't need what I'm selling.
I love it! Love it!
I'll tell you what. Let's do this. Let's play!
Vitus, open the Silver House. We're going to market.
I said I was sorry.
And I've passed on your apologies to the Gods.
And the Gods said, "Divis, we're sorry, too,
for picking such a stupid little twerp.
What the fuck were we thinking? We must have been drunk."
Where are we headed?
A gorge. Three days walk from here.
Is it safe?
The last place was safe. Until you blew everything.
- Me? - 21 moons.
Herbs, leaves, grasses, mosses, ground and dried to make powders,
potions, unguents to cast the deepest spells.
- We've still got Big Pebble. - You make me sick.
I'm looking on the bright side. There is no bright side!
- Now nowhere is safe! - Why not?
Because of the Deep Dream!
- The what? - Last night I had the Deep Dream.
What's the Deep Dream?
You can't know because you're not at that stage of your study.
You could be. You should be. But you're not.
So why bring it up? Unless it's just to be a cock about it.
Because in the Deep Dream, something happened,
something terrible.
What happened?
I saw the Vast Green River.
And?
The Vast Green River was rolling West under the high oaks.
- And suddenly... - Suddenly what?
The river divided. It split into two.
So?
This is... This is like dealing with a...
The Vast Green River has no tributaries!
The Vast Green River is the Vast Green River!
I see. And yet, to be fair, as you pointed out yourself,
I don't know the first fucking thing about the Vast Green River!
When I was a novice, I treated my Druid master with respect.
I worshiped him. I called him my pilot.
My pilot smells extra special this morning.
So what does it mean if the big...
The Vast!
If the Vast Green River splits in two?
It means the Druids have been split asunder.
Veran has lost control. And our dead are at war with one another.
Really? What's this?
What are you doing?
All of those soldiers looking for me... It suddenly...
Suddenly what?
I'm alone.
You're not alone.
Why me?
- And that's it. - Twice.
Well, a deal's a deal.
Along the river a mile or so, there's
a stick in the middle of six stones.
What if I just say that I required your services?
- Light a big fire. - A fire?
The hill after the flatlands, light it up. Wait.
By the way, The Dead Man says, 'Hello.'
Well, well... This is my lucky day!
So it is begun.
Now there's an old face. Come.
I come not to join you... But to warn you.
- To warn me? - Your heart once knew light.
It is to that heart I would speak.
Stop this black game before it is too late.
This black game. Is it not our game?
The one we've been playing all along?
Do you remember when we first met?
I was only a child. You came and found me, didn't you?
I was sitting in sunlight, and I looked up and there you were.
You gave me an apple. Do you remember?
This final time I implore you.
Rejoin the dead where your soul belongs.
No!
I have something for you. A message, a message for Veran.
Will you take it to him? Will you be the wind?
Boo.
There's a man here.
His job is to get answers.
He can make a moment feel like a lifetime...
a minute like a thousand years.
But in the end... He always gets the answers.
So tell me, where's the girl?
This is your last chance.
I will see you on the other side.
Who's there?
Any luck?
Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey.
So here's what's going to happen.
Let me speak to her.
I know witchcraft. My ancestors were witches.
After all I summoned you, didn't I?
Well, that depends on where you're standing.
Did you summon me, or I you?
- That depends. - On what?
On whether you believe in destiny.
Well, now, there's a subject.
She doesn't frighten me.
Let me go to her. I'll make her talk.
You're too precious to me.
Besides, I'm saving you for something else.
