If old age is a sickness, yes.
1:21:04
You've just been working
for a long time.

1:21:08
But there's no need to work anymore.
1:21:10
There's all the gold we ever need.
1:21:12
Don't tempt me with gold, son.
1:21:15
Iron is my metal.
1:21:17
You're just tired, Father, that's all.
I'll get you something to eat.

1:21:21
"Father."
1:21:23
Can you still call me that?
1:21:25
Your true father was a king.
1:21:29
You knew?
1:21:31
I suspected it.
1:21:34
I saw the mark of the royal house
on your tunic.

1:21:38
And later I learned that the Twin Kings
were looking for the lost son...

1:21:43
...but never found him.
1:21:46
Because you gave me another name
to protect me.

1:21:49
It would be a lie to say that
that was the only reason.

1:21:53
You see, I never had a wife.
1:21:55
But with you, I got a son.
1:21:59
And...
1:22:01
And it was such a joy to be a father.
1:22:04
Your father.
1:22:06
And I've always been proud of you.
1:22:08
I wanted you to know that.
1:22:11
And whatever I am,
it's because of what you taught me.

1:22:17
Listen. The world around us
is in the throes of great change.

1:22:23
And the new powers struggle
with the old for domination.

1:22:28
And I've done my part
in that struggle.

1:22:31
So when my time comes...
1:22:34
...my body can descend to the gods
in the old way...

1:22:39
...the way of fire and water.
1:22:41
But you and your queen
are children of the old world too.

1:22:46
The gods gave you
wondrous powers...

1:22:49
...and you must fulfil
your destiny together...

1:22:53
...wherever it leads you.
1:22:55
I'll bring my love with me
to Xanten as my wife.

1:22:58
I promise you.
