The enemies lock eyes and Merlin watches anxiously.
DUKE OF CORNWALL
Done!
All men from both sides break out in wild cheers.
DUKE OF CORNWALL
My Lord King Uther, let us feast
together. To my castle. Lord Merlin,
you must join -
But Merlin is nowhere in sight.
INT. TINTAGEL CASTLE - HALL - NIGHT
Drums and wailing flutes fill the banquet hall with a lusty
rhythm. Armored warriors watch a lone woman dancing. She is
very beautiful, both sensuous and innocent.
Uther sits at the long table beside the Duke of Cornwall
with the barons and dukes of the land, and the lesser knights.
The table is stained with wine and littered with bones and
half-eaten fruit.
Uther's eyes burn with lust as he watches the dancer.
DUKE OF CORNWALL
I would wish you such a wife, Lord
Uther, as my Igrayne. So innocent,
but in bed, a furnace...
The Duke rises and goes to his wife, be-striding the center
of the hall and Igrayne weaves circles of dance around him.
He gloats with pride.
UTHER:
I must have her.
Lot spins to face him.
LOT:
What? You're mad! What about the
alliance?
UTHER:
(oblivious)
I must have her.
LOT:
And risk all you've won? This castle
commands the sea gate to the kingdom.
Uther is not one for politics, and Lot's words sail past
him. The King lusts for Igrayne.
A bell is struck not far away. The music ceases and the hall
falls silent. The great door creaks open, revealing the dawn
light, and a monk steps into the hall and waits by it. Muffled
by corridors of stone, a choir of monks can now be heard
singing the high, ecstatic harmonies of the Te Deum. Those
who have fallen asleep at the table are roused, those drunk,
helped up.
