rabble, or you'll be sorry.
You're under arrest.
Surrender. Throw away your weapons.
- Come and get them yourself.
- Die, you devil.
Seize him.
I'll chop off your hands.
Rascal.
Now we've got him.
- Strangle the bastard.
- No, he should be interrogated.
He's coming round.
- What are they going to do with him?
- He's giving him something to drink.
- What is it?
- Conduct a spectral analysis of the liquid.
Did you like it?
It's the same poison that killed the king.
Do you think you can walk again,
or will you have to be carried?
Rumata!
Rumata!
Rumata!
Hey, grandma.
Tell me, grandma,
have they killed everyone?
Spawn of hell.
Surrender, disguised figures. Come here.
Fight.
Cowardly rabble.
Come on.
Look who's here.
Our dearest enemy, the nobleman Rumata.
What do you think we should do with you?
The prince has escaped us because of you.
Hang him. We must hang him at once.
- What do you think?
- I don't really care,
but generally, only the rabble is hanged.
He is a descendant of an old family
and also an important Irukanian spy.
He is an Irukanian spy, isn't he?
Oh, and a Soan spy on top of that.
- I wouldn't hang him.
- We'll burn him.
- Is that all right with you?
- Yes, that's fine.
Guards, take him to the stake.
What are you doing?
You're supposed to take Rumata, not me.
Treachery! You have tricked me.
My grey soldiers will pay you back for this.
You wouldn't be deceived so easily,
would you?
Rumata of Estoria, from the family
of Estoria, grew up at his father's castle.
Left Estoria at the age of 22.
Why did you leave your country?
- The circumstances forced me to leave.
- What circumstances?
- I killed a royal in a duel.
- Whom?
- Young Prince Ekin.
- What was the reason for the duel?
- A woman.
- And what was this woman's name?
- Dorana.
- I hadn't expected you to answer.
- Thank you, Rumata of Estoria.
- You're welcome. If it helps.
But perhaps you're not Rumata.
Perhaps you're not even from Estoria.
Do you know who this used to be?
I'm sure you'll tell me. You are not Rumata
of Estoria. My emissaries opened his coffin.
This is all that's left of his...
not exactly unstained life.
I would like to know who you are.
They call me Rumata of Estoria.
I'm not used to anyone doubting this.
If you don't tell your monks
to disappear from behind the curtains,
something bad will happen to you.
You don't know who you're dealing with.
Look.
I can squash you like a leech. These
children of God punish every act of infidelity.
They are under my command. They have
recognised the signs that God has sent me.
- In the name of the Lord.
- In his name.
- I am pious Reba, God's supreme minister.
- You're a dirty swindler.
If anything happens to Budach,
I'll strangle you with these hands.
Give me Budach,
or I'll let you die like a dog.
How are you going to do that, dear Rumata?
Let me use this name for the time being.
You fought bravely in defence of the prince,
and yet you didn't kill any of my men.
And you weren't even injured.
Curious. Extremely curious.
I'm glad we have talked things out.
Everyone has a goal.
Why don't we just work together?
Side by side.
You want to frighten me.
All right, so I'm afraid.
Maybe you're the son of Alzar the Sinister,
arisen from the depths of darkness.
Maybe you come from a distant,
all-powerful land.
People say that they exist.
My head is spinning,
and I can feel myself lapsing into heresy.
I'm beginning to think forbidden thoughts.
What did I tell you? Nobody is invulnerable.
This poison kills everyone.
Guards, retrieve his body.
This way.
Lock all the exits of the palace.
Reach into my boot.
There's a remedy inside.
Tear it open.
Hold still.
Look in all the rooms, warriors.
He can't be far.
When you find him,
take his body to the abbot.
Rumata. Rumata.
You mustn't fall asleep.
You'll never wake up again.
You told me about the light in the dark
that must never expire. Can you hear
