1. I've seen that look before.
Something troubles you.
Copy !req
2. Spare me your concern for my well-being
and say what you have come to say.
Copy !req
3. Our child. She was kind, clever, loving.
Copy !req
4. I read her words again.
It's agony to remember.
Copy !req
5. If I could have saved her, I would have.
Copy !req
6. You didn't even try.
Copy !req
7. I was wrong. My rage,
it wasn't meant for you, but for me.
Copy !req
8. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
9. Words I never thought you'd say.
You asked what troubles me. Regret.
Copy !req
10. Fear I may have wronged
someone close to me.
Copy !req
11. Pain. Someone tugs at your heart.
Copy !req
12. After a thousand years alone,
Copy !req
13. who could have imagined
it would be possible?
Copy !req
14. Yes, the girl who started all of this,
Copy !req
15. who put her faith in a dream
and inherited a nightmare.
Copy !req
16. The girl who will replace you.
Copy !req
17. Mommy! Help!
Copy !req
18. Gods help us. Oh…
Copy !req
19. Stay here. Stay quiet.
Copy !req
20. Stop, please! These people are harmless.
Copy !req
21. Help us or get out the way.
Copy !req
22. They're just travelers.
Nowhere near the enclaves.
Copy !req
23. Leave them alone!
Copy !req
24. Human stains.
Copy !req
25. You. You're one of them.
You liar. Murderer.
Copy !req
26. - I let you hold her.
- No, I'm not like them at all.
Copy !req
27. You stay away. Stay away!
Copy !req
28. Please.
Copy !req
29. "Who wants to play with me?"
Copy !req
30. "I do! I do!"
Copy !req
31. "No, you're just a peasant."But…"
Copy !req
32. "I'm the princess. I tell you what to do."
Copy !req
33. - We send more troops.
- With our forces spread so thin,
Copy !req
34. we must pull the honor guard
protecting the rectory.
Copy !req
35. The honor guard?
They're not just protecting the rectory.
Copy !req
36. - They're protecting me.
Copy !req
37. Know your place, Shabarra.
Copy !req
38. "Know your place, little rabbit."
Copy !req
39. Will Mirana do this all day?
Copy !req
40. You're too old
to play with dolls.
Copy !req
41. My girl, you are the Princess of the Sun.
Copy !req
42. Mousey?
Copy !req
43. I didn't hurt her. I would never hurt her.
Copy !req
44. - Asar. Explain yourself.
Copy !req
45. - By the Dawn Star.
- We've summoned the healers.
Copy !req
46. This man was holding the Princess
when we arrived.
Copy !req
47. Let him go, Asar.
Copy !req
48. - But, Slayer…
- Let him go!
Copy !req
49. Luna said the shot
came from that direction.
Copy !req
50. Probably that rooftop, maybe 600 lengths.
Copy !req
51. I've never seen anyone
make a shot that long, except Mirana.
Copy !req
52. Davion.
Copy !req
53. I thought… I was afraid she was dead
for so long. And then I found her.
Copy !req
54. - You thought it was fate.
Yeah.
Copy !req
55. Fate is strange.
Copy !req
56. Horrible spider. Had the nerve to bite me.
Me! Can you imagine?
Copy !req
57. The servants should keep them away.
Copy !req
58. Of course, I should scratch it. It itches.
Copy !req
59. Excuse me, I'm speaking to you.
Copy !req
60. You can't ignore me, girl.
I'm the Princess.
Copy !req
61. She must answer me.
Copy !req
62. Leave her, Princess.
The girl cannot speak.
Copy !req
63. She was injured.
Other children took her voice.
Copy !req
64. Over thousands of years,
I've seen wonders and horrors, never this.
Copy !req
65. The arrow was meant to kill her.
It should have killed her.
Copy !req
66. So it missed some vital target.
Copy !req
67. No. The Princess is somehow
dead and alive, all at once.
Copy !req
68. Like a dream of death. Like a poem.
Copy !req
69. Just tell me if there's anything
you can do or not.
Copy !req
70. Hope yet remains.
Copy !req
71. The girl saw
other servant children steal them from us.
Copy !req
72. One overheard her tell her mother.
Copy !req
73. She's small, weak.
So, they punished her. They hurt her.
Copy !req
74. You must do something, Father.
Copy !req
75. The throne should not abide
thieves or cruelty.
Copy !req
76. There are many things
the throne should not abide, but must.
Copy !req
77. Anyway, you can't fight every battle,
Copy !req
78. nor can you win
every battle you must fight.
Copy !req
79. Most of all, you can have
all the power in the world,
Copy !req
80. but you cannot protect
the people from themselves.
Copy !req
81. Even when you want to.
Even when it breaks your heart.
Copy !req
82. Your father shouldn't be bothered
with the business of servants.
Copy !req
83. But if you like, I can help.
Copy !req
84. My bedclothes, please.
Copy !req
85. You.
Copy !req
86. Hurry downstairs before you're noticed.
Copy !req
87. She is your handmaid.
Her family was promoted.
Copy !req
88. Those that harmed her
have been demoted or cast out.
Copy !req
89. The worst face punishment akin
to what the girl endured.
Copy !req
90. They had power over her.
They overstepped it. There was a cost.
Copy !req
91. There is always a cost.
Copy !req
92. Good night, my Sunbeam.
Copy !req
93. Propriety demands
I call you "girl" or "handmaid."
Copy !req
94. I'd rather call you by your name, Marci.
Copy !req
95. She was so young, Kashurra.
So full of promise.
Copy !req
96. It's as though someone pulled
the sun down from the sky.
Copy !req
97. The Praetorian Guard scoured the city
for Princess Mirana's assassin.
Copy !req
98. And the Scourge of the Plains?
- Somewhere out there.
Copy !req
99. Blame her. Find her. Execute her.
Copy !req
100. Forgive me, Your Radiance,
Copy !req
101. but it is quite unlikely
the Scourge would—
Copy !req
102. Think about how this looks for me.
I brought the Princess here.
Copy !req
103. One of my enemies clearly wants me
to look weak and incompetent.
Copy !req
104. - But the actual—
- Irrelevant. We need a villain.
Copy !req
105. I insist you find me a good one,
then publicly remove her head.
Copy !req
106. I'll lift the sewer grate,
uh, then we run downhill.
Copy !req
107. We'll be out of
the Imperial City in an hour.
Copy !req
108. Not running. Collecting a head.
Copy !req
109. Ah! Revenge.
Copy !req
110. There's no flower more lovely,
nor more dangerous to its admirers.
Copy !req
111. Good luck in the sewer.
Copy !req
112. Luna, you cannot collect
what you cannot find.
Copy !req
113. If you want revenge,
you need to play clever.
Copy !req
114. Lucky for you, there are none
more clever than Hieronimo.
Copy !req
115. This is where swords are bought and sold.
I come here for work.
Copy !req
116. Work.
Copy !req
117. I also enjoy the view.
Copy !req
118. [in made-up language]
Blu bari chu taka, bish?
Copy !req
119. The boss. He will know.
Copy !req
120. We have questions.
Copy !req
121. Uh, darling, he is the boss.
The, uh, the tiny one.
Copy !req
122. The blood that flows into your brains
must be constricted.
Copy !req
123. We're looking for a bounty hunter.
Copy !req
124. There are a dozen blades
for hire out there right now.
Copy !req
125. Take your pick
of trained life extinguishers.
Copy !req
126. I have very specific tastes.
Copy !req
127. I want Princess Mirana's assassin, Vanari.
Copy !req
128. Ah, the Scourge. Yes.
You fail to grasp your own foolishness.
Copy !req
129. My establishment is filled
with bounty hunters.
Copy !req
130. You are escaped convicts.
Copy !req
131. Blame for the Princess has fallen on you.
Copy !req
132. I hope this clarifies the mathematics
of your circumstances.
Copy !req
133. I was never so good at the mathematics.
Copy !req
134. But even I can add one and one.
Copy !req
135. Roughhousing is forbidden the Shoehorn,
but money clouds better judgment.
Copy !req
136. If I were you, I would depart with haste.
Copy !req
137. Not yet. I need a weapon.
Copy !req
138. And my compensation?
Copy !req
139. You never paid me for Kinski.
Copy !req
140. Ah, Kinski.
Copy !req
141. What price is too great
a recompense for heartbreak?
Copy !req
142. - I'll take it.
- Consider it a gift.
Copy !req
143. Apologies, but the, the boss is correct.
Copy !req
144. Too much heat, even for you.
And we have no leads.
Copy !req
145. I may have one.
Copy !req
146. I'm looking for Vanari.
You know her.
Copy !req
147. Tall, horrifying, bit of a reputation.
Just like me.
Copy !req
148. Ah, the Scourge of the Plains.
Copy !req
149. You know my name.
What you don't know is how I earned it.
Copy !req
150. The Helio Imperium.
You killed a right fucking lot of them.
Copy !req
151. No. We had a spy. I had questions.
Copy !req
152. After my own soldiers saw what I did
to him, what I enjoyed doing to him,
Copy !req
153. they named me such.
Copy !req
154. This is not as we discussed.
Nor is this who I think you are.
Copy !req
155. Others call you Scourge,
but does it matter who?
Copy !req
156. Does it matter why?
You name yourself differently.
Copy !req
157. If there was true cruelty in you once,
the taste of it has turned to ash. Hm?
Copy !req
158. You don't know me.
Copy !req
159. You two birds need to kiss.
Or let me out of this fucking chair.
Copy !req
160. [Heironimo, Luna] Shut up!
Copy !req
161. You can't even be sure if it is
this Vanari who killed your Princess.
Copy !req
162. It was her.
I saw what she did at the outpost.
Copy !req
163. It had to be her.
She brought us here. She was…
Copy !req
164. Vanari brought us here.
Copy !req
165. She could have killed Mirana at any time.
Copy !req
166. They wanted her alive and pretty.
Can I go now?
Copy !req
167. All of this was a show.
Copy !req
168. Unchain the bastard.
I want to make a deal.
Copy !req
169. You must be the Dragon Knight.
She spoke of you. She has a fondness.
Copy !req
170. "A fondness."
Copy !req
171. I had to see her.
I would have come sooner,
Copy !req
172. but there are things
that must be done in these events.
Copy !req
173. I understand.
Copy !req
174. You did not expect to find her here.
Copy !req
175. She did not expect you,
or I would have prepared a welcome.
Copy !req
176. I see the little man couldn't be bothered
to visit her himself.
Copy !req
177. There are security concerns.
Copy !req
178. Obviously. He summoned half the army.
Always overcompensating.
Copy !req
179. The Dragon Knight has an official request.
Copy !req
180. Under the circumstances,
I think we should expedite it.
Copy !req
181. I came to see the Emperor.
I need to see the Eye.
Copy !req
182. I will arrange your meeting.
Praise the Dawn Star.
Copy !req
183. You didn't sleep.
Copy !req
184. No. I, uh,
sometimes I have problems sleeping.
Copy !req
185. This felt like it might be
one of those nights.
Copy !req
186. I don't even understand
what she was doing here.
Copy !req
187. That's a state secret. But at this point,
she was going to marry the Emperor.
Copy !req
188. I need some air.
Copy !req
189. Shabarra thought that marrying
the Princess would solve it all.
Copy !req
190. In the short run, perhaps.
Copy !req
191. In the end, it would have
only made things worse.
Copy !req
192. So, a marriage of convenience.
Copy !req
193. That's one point of view.
Copy !req
194. You said it was a state secret.
Who knew about all this?
Copy !req
195. Me, Kashurra, Asar,
and the Praetorian Guard, the War Council.
Copy !req
196. Legatus Tihomir funded the effort
to return the Princess home.
Copy !req
197. You mean, kidnap her.
Copy !req
198. - That's also a point of view.
- And what's your point of view?
Copy !req
199. Princess Mirana should never
have left the Nightsilver Woods.
Copy !req
200. Honestly!
Copy !req
201. This gown looks like the taffeta
came to life and decided to swallow me.
Copy !req
202. Don't look at me that way, Marci.
Copy !req
203. Of course, I appreciate
the complexities of dressmaking.
Copy !req
204. I have to wear the dresses after all.
Copy !req
205. But is it really too much to ask that…
Copy !req
206. Ready shield!
Copy !req
207. Ready shields!
Copy !req
208. Ready arms!
Copy !req
209. Ready arms!
Copy !req
210. Your Highness, the Viceroy sent me.
We must leave.
Copy !req
211. Mirana, your parents are dead.
Copy !req
212. Where is the Princess?
Copy !req
213. For the Dawn Star.
Copy !req
214. Marci! Ah!
Copy !req
215. Remember, make him feel
like he holds the cards.
Copy !req
216. Then he'll listen.
Copy !req
217. You really think about how this guy ticks.
His weaknesses.
Copy !req
218. He gives you a lot to think about.
Copy !req
219. The Emperor will see the Dragon Knight.
But only the Dragon Knight.
Copy !req
220. I'll send the Emperor your best.
Copy !req
221. Davion the Dragon Knight.
You have something of a reputation.
Copy !req
222. I understand you knew the Princess.
Copy !req
223. No. Not "knew." I know her.
The Princess isn't dead.
Copy !req
224. Nor is she alive. Or so I'm told.
And what brings you to my feet?
Copy !req
225. As I told Viceroy Kashurra
when I requested this meeting, I need—
Copy !req
226. The Eye. A relic so holy no one
has touched it in 3,000 years,
Copy !req
227. other than the God Emperor.
Copy !req
228. Yet you think I would just hand it
over to you, merely because you ask me.
Copy !req
229. Amuse me with the reason.
Copy !req
230. - It's complicated.
Simplify it for me.
Copy !req
231. No king denies a request from our order.
Copy !req
232. Our protection has always been
enough to ensure that.
Copy !req
233. Dragon Hold is rubble.
Copy !req
234. You knights couldn't even
protect yourselves.
Copy !req
235. Everyone out.
Copy !req
236. - I would love to help you. I would.
Copy !req
237. But you have to give me something
more than the Dragon Knight dodge.
Copy !req
238. There's a demon. Terrorblade.
Copy !req
239. He's killed all the Eldwyrms
and stolen their souls,
Copy !req
240. all but the one hiding in my body.
Copy !req
241. I need the Eye so that dragon can travel
to the hell of hells and stop Terrorblade
Copy !req
242. from remaking the entire
gods-damned universe in his image.
Copy !req
243. You could have just told me no.
Copy !req
244. I'm afraid the Solar Throne
must deny your request.
Copy !req
245. Please convey my kind regards to…
Copy !req
246. You choose.
Copy !req
247. Quite an unorthodox proposition.
Copy !req
248. He collects the bounty on us
in exchange for Vanari's head.
Copy !req
249. - You realize he will betray us.
- If he does, he dies first.
Copy !req
250. Wait for everyone.
Copy !req
251. You have no idea what you're doing.
Copy !req
252. This isn't a little fight with a dragon.
Copy !req
253. Your experience
with the nuance of divine power
Copy !req
254. and executive authority is limited.
Copy !req
255. There won't be a world.
Not for you, not for me, not for anyone.
Copy !req
256. The Sun always rises.
Copy !req
257. The Princess.
Someone tried to kill her.
Copy !req
258. I assume you plan
to do something about that.
Copy !req
259. - I've tripled my security.
- I mean, the Princess.
Copy !req
260. You failed to protect her. It should
have been you. Pathetic little mouse.
Copy !req
261. "Mouse"? I am a god.
Copy !req
262. Even gods stand
below the pillars of creation.
Copy !req
263. Guards.
Copy !req
264. Majesty, come with me.
Copy !req
265. The Eye is ours.
Copy !req
266. Balls.
Copy !req
267. God Emperor Shabarra.
Copy !req
268. You don't smell like a god.
Copy !req
269. I, I can't. I can't give you
or anyone the Eye.
Copy !req
270. Please! When I took the throne,
I performed the ritual,
Copy !req
271. but nothing happened. I wasn't worthy.
Copy !req
272. If the Imperium learns the truth,
there will be civil war.
Copy !req
273. Slaughter one another.
Copy !req
274. No, wait!
Copy !req
275. Traitor.
Copy !req
276. Did you come
looking for answers? Revenge?
Copy !req
277. Tell me, what do you see?
Copy !req
278. Stop! It is pointless to flee.
Copy !req
279. Shit.
Copy !req
280. You will help me?
Copy !req
281. You will always be safe here.
Copy !req
282. In my shadow.
Copy !req
283. My Princess of the Moon.
Copy !req
