:03:01
in which Lancelot of the Lake
:03:05
played a heroic part,
:03:08
the Knights of the Round Table
:03:11
set off in search of the Grail.
:03:15
The Grail was a vessel
:03:18
in which Joseph of Arimathea
:03:22
had gathered the blood of Christ.
:03:25
lt was to bestow supernatural power.
:03:29
lt was believed hidden in Brittany.
:03:32
Merlin, before his death,
:03:36
pledged the knights to the quest.
:03:39
Merlin had indicated
:03:43
that the quest should be led
:03:46
by Perceval (Parsifal),
:03:49
not by Lancelot.
:03:53
After leaving the castle,
:03:56
the knights were dispersed.
:04:00
Perceval was not seen again.
:04:03
Two years have passed.
:04:07
Decimated, the knights return
:04:10
to King Arthur and Queen Guinevere.
:04:14
They have not found the Grail.
:04:31
He whose footfalls precede him
will die within a year.
:04:37
- Even if they're his horse's steps?
- Even then.
:04:41
You said that
of those who passed yesterday.
:04:45
lt is the same omen for them all.
:04:57
l've lost my way.
:04:59
This is Escalot.
