Britannia

Veran and Harka face each other in a challenge only one of them can survive. Cait is forced to face her destiny.

In your own time.

-What does that say? -It will do no good.

Has your journey not shown you that, at least?

-It is you who must be challenged. -Do as I say, child.

When the challenge is won, I will deal with her.

Well, Father must be turning in his grave.

Thank you.

Made them wear them as a necklace.

I've been stuck in here for days. Need to feel the air.

His power's infinite.

Turns out he wasn't a man of his word.

The man you met was called Hallam.

There have been hundreds of First Men, and hundreds of Second Men.

-Nothing's real. -On the contrary. Everything is real.

Harka chooses the oak.

Kneel, brother.

Veran?

Only the Veran can kill the Dead Man.

The ways of the gods are mysterious.

What happened?

Watch your struggles please them...

Divis gets one last chance to prove himself. Meanwhile, Cait's newfound happiness is cut short as Phelan tries to right his wrongs.

When I look out my window

The rabbits running in the ditch

Did you get me one?

-I'm hungry. -Yeah, me, too.

Veran blessed me. I walk these forests in his protection.

The Dead Man sent him.

You are good at catching squirrels.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.

not to be reborn, but to be fore born.

-it's that nothing is how it seems. -I'll try to remember that.

Right now, I have bigger fish to fry. So, happy travels.

-A very big boat. -Fire.

No, no, no, no, no. This is a terrible idea.

I think you do, what I do is, you watch the water

What's wrong?

This is embarrassing enough, Quane. Don't rub it in.

If the Dead Man wins, our time is over.

It carries the maiden in its claws

I've been to the Underworld.

This is your last chance to prove you are the Guardian.

It's all right. It's all right.

Aulus outrages Domitius with a confession and Andra discovers the truth about her family. Divis tries to use his powers on Love.

and the gods that we Romans whistled up to help us through the day,

But Lokka is wily, we have it surrounded.

..your stupid gurgling.

The rapids running in the ditch

Veran left something. May I see it?

She is poison.

But on occasion they choose...

Ready to find the Leg of Tears. To meet the Keeper.

Prophecies, they're not straightforward. Not always true.

-Following him, I'm free. -You follow a demon.

Hold on. Borne across. Who bears it across?

-What's the bow for? -For you. I don't need a golden bow.

-I'm not. -You are.

Ha. Did I just say that? Did I?

Not yet. The truth must wait.

I cheeked this one Roman, then this other one, he put my eyes out.

and the prophecy is not the prophecy.

Once you get the hang of the prophecy stuff,

All right, stop. You'll have to try it with this...

Did your old man know a few tricks? Taught them to you...

Like that. Good.

and shiny.

That's why I'm here. And you...

When the gods choose us, that's a dark day.

-Your... Sister... -Andra!.

Vitus returns with a message for Aulus. Ania is placed in an impossible situation and The Traveller tracks down Lucius.

Oh, no Must be the season of the witch

I absolutely do not.

You said you thought your sister returned to punish you, she did.

Do you miss your child?

A Cantii slave my tribe owned from a boy.

When we find them, we slay everything loyal to Veran.

Send out more riders.

The decision to press west.

tell us everything you know about General Aulus Plautius.

No leaves on the trees

to the destruction of his mission, his command, and Rome.

I believe under her spell.

I, Tribune Vitus Aurelius

Yeah, I know who. You know what? This one's on me.

If you came all this way to bring back nightmares,

Do you remember the man that we executed on the hill of the skull? A Nazarene.

I go where I go.

He's been expecting you.

-Give me a kiss and I'll tell you. -Where have you been?

I was ordered to find what you kept safe. We know you have it.

Look, I appreciate the thought. But if you knew what I'd been through,

Are you happy now, gods! Are you happy?

Is that what you are?

Oh, the witch! Yes, very helpful. If a little costly.

I can't be doing with the buggers, but, don't ask me how...

Philo and Brutus play a prank, but their timing couldn't be worse. Harka sends Veran a message.

Must be the season of the witch

now you've fucked up the Sacred Trial of Sister Water!

Oh, no. No, I don't believe it. My sister's getting married.

all your skills, training body, spirit, soul, for one moment?

And your cheap whore gods along with you. You know I can.

You did it for Rome. Don't say you didn't.

many years ago.

Is the key to this campaign. The Devni lands.

Or did I win kingdoms' riches and glory for Rome?

This lake, if it's so important, why send your Cantii whore?

I know. I normally hate doing this, but it's actually very enjoyable.

Have you seen this?

I just can't.

That's why he's here. Why you didn't send him away.

Or do I enter it? Are me and it the same?

When the Romans came, my father told me to sing.

I've come home.

Her mummy taught her how to dance and sing.

"How could the gods allow this?"

A dream causes tension between Cait and Divis. Harka sends Love on a heart-breaking mission. Veran commits the ultimate betrayal.

Beatnicks are out to make it rich

Do you not feel, your Majesty,

Your daughter, Amena, has returned to us.

Is everything all right?

Who I have missed more than anyone, or anything...

When King Pellenor died, Phelan abandoned the Cantii.

That's it. That's it. Keep it there.

You've been gone a long time. You do not know how things are now.

You're right.

It is I who will anoint her in the lake.

My name...

Jeez.

Actually. You will actually become a fish.

Have you ever had a wife?

An Ovate is forbidden such practices.

So you're a virgin?

Its boots march on half the world because of this.

Get your things. We're leaving for the river.

Many have turned their heads from the Veran.

Phelan. Phelan!

always, and ask stupid questions,

Hella makes Aulus an offer she knows he can't resist. Phelan fulfils his mission. Cait and Divis's dreams spell new danger.

Veran gives Ania a terrible choice. Harka brings Phelan under his spell. The next stage of Cait and Divis's prophecy begins.

And when I look in my window

Do not slight me for my slight.

-What's your name? -Felix.

You leave unburied souls to rot in this world.

Upon the green and haunted trees

They're all so certain.

The Romans came. They burned our village.

-Who? -Your sister.

I marked the occasion by accusing her of betraying our father, betraying me,

Just as I was destroyed so were you. By the same force.

With you, Veran. Always.

Oh, yes.

Walk with Veran and you walk blind into the abyss.

-Happily. -But, erm, and no offense here.

You see, I represent the true Rome.

when half of you were mere glints in your neighbor's eyes.

I'm sure he'll be as intrigued by your line of questioning.

Yet by herself and all alone

Oh, bollocks.

Ghosts don't need sewers to get in and out of, do they?

-If it was up to me... This way. -Where is he?

This is a good spot.

What's the next part?

At the Lake of Tears, she will be reborn."

What does "forborne" mean?

-How did they find us? -They probably followed your smell.

The Dead Man sends Hella on a mission. Phelan's new life comes crashing down. Rork's suspicions about Veran lead him into a duel.

Two years after the invasion, a dead man awakens who could spell the end of everything.
