on. Let's go.
Go.
Take Za'roc.
Saphira, can you carry three?
Not for very long.
I suggest you leave quickly.
Come on. Let's get out of here.
Come on.
- Archers ready.
- Over here.
Higher. They're on the roof.
I can't. The weight, it's too much.
Eragon?
Durza...
- Durza...
- Durza's dead.
Did you pierce him through the heart?
You can only kill a Shade
if you pierce him through the heart.
- We must get help.
- Where?
- From the Varden.
- Yes.
Go to the Varden.
Take this.
Go...
...without me.
No. I need you.
No, Eragon.
It's I who've always needed you.
You gave me my life back again.
Take care of Saphira.
Without her...
...you'll find life is hardly worth living.
I won't let you die.
Not for my mistake.
You are not strong enough...
...yet.
That's the spirit.
One part brave, three parts fool.
Forgive me.
Eragon. Let him die with pride...
...as a Dragon Rider.
I can't breathe fire yet...
...but I can do this for Brom:
Now time cannot ravage him.
Who will remember him?
Many people will...
...because of you.
Eragon.
A Shade has poisoned her.
Someone's coming.
I need to get you to the Varden.
How do I find them?
- This one's been following us.
- Stand up.
All my life, I dreamed of dragons.
Who are you?
And why are you following us?
I'm Murtagh.
And you need me, Dragon Rider.
- Thanks, but I'll be fine without you.
- You seek the Varden.
I know the mountains,
every valley and stream.
She'll suffer if you go astray.
Why did you risk your life for us?
My family was slaughtered
by the king's men when I was a boy.
I heard rumors.
They said a rider had appeared.
Eragon. We must go.
If there were ever a time for retribution,
this was it.
If you can show me
the quickest way to the Varden...
To the Varden it is.
You'll learn to trust me, Dragon Rider.
I'm not the only one
you need to convince.
We'll have to go by foot from here.
Saphira? Keep Arya safe until I call.
I will, but hurry. The Urgals are closing in.
Thanks again.
Don't mention it.
Tell me your vision
looked something like this.
Come on.
The task was simple: bring the boy to me.
There were complications.
Yes, so I've heard.
Complications do tend to happen.
But fortunately for you,
your incompetence may work in my favor.
The boy has led us directly to the Varden.
And so the job falls upon you, Durza...
...to remind those who resist my rule...
...that as long as I am king...
...disloyalty will be punishable by death.
Gather my army and follow them.
Leave no one alive.
- Move up there.
- Come on, get them on there.
Which one of you is the rider?
I am. My name is Eragon.
I am Ajihad, leader of the Varden.
If you are the rider, call your beast inside.
If it attacks, you will die first.
Saphira? Bring Arya, but be cautious.
How is Arya?
She's holding on.
Her heart beats faintly.
She's been poisoned by a Shade.
Our healers will make her well.
Watch over Arya.
But be careful.
You be careful.
- There are Urgals on the mountain.
- Urgals.
They're scouring the mountain
as we speak.
Time is short.
I must know if you're with us.
We'll be greatly outnumbered.
We've come to join you.
- Seize him.
- No.
He's with me. He saved my life.
He is the son of Morzan, the traitor.
Is it true?
A son doesn't choose his father.
This was the only thing he ever gave me.
I hated that man until the day he died.
Lock him up.
If he tries to escape, kill him.
- Let go of me.
- I've no time to take chances.
The Urgals' presence here can only mean
that the king's men are not far behind.
These cowards will hide no more.
Tonight, we destroy the resistance.
Annihilate.
But the boy is mine.
- Excuse me. I should have knocked.
- It's fine.
My father asked me to bring you to him.
I'll be ready in just a moment.
Arya has responded well
to our
