00:00And then, from the field of the future, a new king will come to save the world of the
00:10past.
00:11Right through the storm, see the knights fighting evil and crime.
00:34Harpoon and the knights of justice will take evil down.
00:40Right through the storm with the knights of the devil round.
00:45Come on, come on!
00:57King of the Red!
01:04Merlin, are you sure this bird knows what it's talking about?
01:17Unlike human beings, birds do not know how to lie.
01:21Arthur, my boy, I hope you realize this is the chance we've all been waiting for.
01:27Now, take my falcon and stand back.
01:33Huh?
02:03This tunnel will lead you and your knights outside Camelot beyond the warlord's lines.
02:30It's fantastic!
02:33Merlin, you're hurt!
02:36It's the magic.
02:38Doing that kind of magic takes much life energy.
02:41Then why did you do it?
02:42Why take a chance like that?
02:44Because the keys of truth are so important.
02:47To free the real King Arthur and his knights, we need all the keys.
02:51Thanks to my feathered friend, we know where one of the keys is.
02:55I'd do anything to get that key back.
02:57You can count on that.
02:58When you find the key, you must remember that you and your knights each has his own key.
03:04Just as only Arthur could draw Excalibur from the stone,
03:07each knight must hold his own key of truth in his hand and close to his heart.
03:14Are you certain it was Merlin's falcon, Warlord Blackwing?
03:18Merlin's is the only black and white falcon I've ever seen.
03:22I flew after it all the way from Crownhorn to Camelot.
03:26Strange that Merlin's bird would be in a small village like Crownhorn.
03:33Morgana!
03:39It has passed.
03:44I felt a strong disturbance in the magical field, as though...
03:48Merlin!
03:50He's used his magic for something so important that it drained some of his life energy.
03:55I have to know what it is.
03:57Come, my viewing rock.
04:00Show me what Merlin did with his magic.
04:06There!
04:07Merlin's created a tunnel of light so they can get past your warlords unnoticed.
04:13That must be the exit.
04:15I'll take my warlords there and wait for this fake Arthur and his knights.
04:20They shall ride into our swords.
04:23Don't underestimate Merlin's magic, Viper.
04:26He might find a way to make them vanish under your nose.
04:30Blackwing, take a force of warlords to Crownhorn.
04:33Have them go through the countryside and tell the peasants it is death
04:37to any who offer help or shelter to the knights.
04:45What could be so important in Crownhorn that Merlin would perform such magic?
04:50Only one thing.
04:52They must have located one of the keys of truth.
05:00Okay, guys, listen up.
05:02Merlin's got a tip where one of the keys might be.
05:04I say we try and get that puppy back.
05:07Now we're talking!
05:11I'm gonna take Gallop, Breeze and Phil to check it out.
05:14The rest of you stay here and defend the castle.
05:16With those warlords, you can't be too careful.
05:18Hey, that key is gonna get us one step closer to home.
05:21I got ladies waiting for me back there.
05:24But remember, this key is the key of King Arthur.
05:27I'm the only one who can touch it.
05:31King Arthur, knights of justice, speak the oath.
05:35I am King Arthur.
05:37And we are the knights of justice.
05:40We pledge fairness to all to protect the weak and vanquish the evil.
06:18♪
06:49Remember, if we find the key, I'm the only one who touches it.
06:53Hey, you're galling the play, Arthur.
06:55Sure, I'll see if I can move it.
06:57Yeah.
06:58Are you sure this ain't another trap?
07:01This magic stuff gives me the creeps.
07:03Hang tough, guys.
07:05♪
07:18♪
07:37Something's wrong.
07:38Excalibur, be my strength.
07:41Forward!
07:45Forward!
07:48♪
08:19♪
08:22You two make a lovely couple.
08:25♪
08:37This is your end.
08:39Wrong, Viper. It's only the beginning.
08:43Bell, sack this guy.
08:46Maybe your horse can ride you.
08:52Love now, Arthur.
08:54Soon I will be the one to love.
08:57Slasher, you, Bash, and Blinder will remain here on the siege line.
09:01Axe and I ride for Crownhorn.
09:05Leave me alone!
09:15Stop it!
09:17Look at those little bitty guys.
09:22All right, that'll be enough.
09:26King Arthur!
09:28Run along now and let's see what you've got.
09:31King Arthur!
09:33Run along now and leave this man in peace.
09:36No one gives King Kazak orders.
09:43You heard Arthur. It's time for you little guys to play.
09:48Why, you little brat.
09:56We'd better teach you some manners, Kazak.
09:58No, King Arthur, don't hurt him.
10:00It's all my fault. I wandered onto their territory.
10:03They just defended themselves.
10:05Is that true?
10:06Well, you think just because we're small we attack people three against one?
10:11Hey, wait!
10:15You'll never catch him, sir.
10:17They have underground tunnels throughout the country.
10:19I'm sorry for the trouble, Your Majesty.
10:21My name is Orin and I am your loyal subject.
10:24I was coming to warn you that the warlords wait in the village.
10:27How did you know we were coming?
10:29Everyone knows, though none know why.
10:31We've seen Merlin's bird and the warlords are everywhere
10:34threatening us to make sure you'll get no help.
10:37I'd like to believe you, but we've been fooled before.
10:40I'll need proof of your loyalty before we can trust you.
10:44If Merlin's falcon trusts you, that's good enough for me.
10:47Come with us on the way you can tell me what you've learned.
10:50Now, where is that falcon?
10:52Look, there!
10:57There he is!
11:02The falcon is flying closer to my farm.
11:04You must all be hungry after your long ride.
11:07Hungry? I could eat a bull with a horn still on.
11:10Maybe some food would do us some good, but we shouldn't forget what we came for.
11:14Oh, my king, it will be a great honor to welcome you
11:17in the Knights of Justice in my humble home.
11:21Your Highness, I'll do what I can to help you find the key you seek.
11:25We must find it and the others. Without them, there is no future.
11:29But you are the future, the hope of all people.
11:32And you, Kate, you're the best cook I ever met.
11:36Thank you, Sir Phil.
11:38Do you happen to have a few more pieces of chicken left?
11:42Warlords! A patrol on the other side of the hill coming this way!
11:51Now, you got nothing to worry about as long as I'm here.
11:54No, no, Phil. If we fight them warlords here,
11:57they'll know that Orin and Kate helped us.
12:00Right. I'll go and get them.
12:02I'll go and get them.
12:04I'll go and get them.
12:06I'll go and get them.
12:08They'll know that Orin and Kate helped us.
12:11Right. For their sake, we've got to hide before the warlords get here.
12:15Hide? What are we, cowards?
12:17No, we're just loyal to Kate and Orin the way they've been to us.
12:28Easy, Valor. Easy. You've got to be quiet. Okay?
12:38Ah!
12:57We're looking for Arthur and his knights.
13:00There's no-one here but me and my wife!
13:03We know he's heading this way,
13:05just to make sure you don't give them any help if they come here.
13:10We'll take your wife with us to the village.
13:13No!
13:24If you want her back, just bring us a knight.
13:36Help! Let me go!
13:38Let me go! Help! Help!
13:42I'm going to get her back.
13:44She could have told them that we were here, but she didn't.
13:47She was... she was...
13:49Loyal. Loyalty was what Merlin wanted us to learn about.
13:52And that's why I'm going.
13:58They said they'd give you Kate back if you brought them a knight.
14:01Bring me!
14:03If I was free, I could fight my way out and...
14:06You can't risk your own life. You're far more important than we are.
14:09No man or woman is less important than another, Orin.
14:13Yo, what's to stop those warlords from smoking Phil and keeping Kate, too?
14:18Just what I'm thinking.
14:20But maybe we can take Phil's plan and add something of our own to it.
14:27The peasants hide in their houses for fear of us.
14:32Viper is searching every house in this village.
14:34If this fake Arthur and his men are here, he will find them.
14:39Well, well, what have we here?
14:42The farmer has brought us a knight after all.
14:45He came to steal food just after you left.
14:47But I had a trap set and he fell into it.
14:50Please free my wife now. Please.
14:55Lord Viper has a score to settle with you.
14:59Come! See the knight we've captured!
15:03I knew they'd be interested.
15:05The warlords have never had a chance to check out a knight that closely.
15:08We're going to hit them while their guard is down, get Phil back and ride.
15:11With a little luck, the warlords will think we took them back on our own and leave Kate and Orin out of it.
15:19That's Viper! There must be twenty warlords down there now.
15:23I don't care how many there are. We're not leaving Phil with them.
15:30Back! Make way!
15:33How did we come by this knight?
15:36The farmer brought him in in exchange for his wife.
15:39I don't trust farmers.
15:42Put them all in the same cell.
15:55Not you guys again!
15:57We don't have time for this.
15:59Then make time, King Arthur.
16:01If we start fighting these dudes, the warlords will hear us for sure.
16:05We come not to battle, but to help.
16:08Why help us?
16:09Well, you helped the farmer when we outnumbered him.
16:12Then you spared my life.
16:14Why should we not do the same for you now that you're in the same position?
16:18If you mean what you say, then we welcome you as friends.
16:21If you turn on us, you will have made a powerful enemy.
16:28We will lead the attack. Let Viper think there are only three of us.
16:32And myself and my men? What shall we do?
16:35Take them by surprise, from everywhere. You're fast and they're slow.
16:42We leave this village soon and take our prisoners with us.
16:46If Arthur was here, he has left.
16:49Forward, march!
16:58The fool attacks!
17:00Cut them down!
17:09Charge!
17:27Yo, it's bath time, X.
17:32You should have sacrificed your knight so you might live.
17:36This is life, Viper. Not a game of chess.
17:39Chess, life, either way, you lose.
17:43Check.
17:50And now, checkmate.
17:58Charge!
18:02What's happening?
18:03Not all the pieces on this board can be seen.
18:14Xander, now!
18:27It's time for you to release your prisoners, Viper.
18:42Let's get them!
18:43The only thing you're getting is home.
18:46You and Kate have done enough. We'll take it from here.
18:50Bless you, Sir Phil.
18:57Whoa!
19:05Phil, catch!
19:27Get them!
19:37There, that should do it.
19:39All the warlords are trapped in our tunnels.
19:41It should take them a good few hours to dig their way out.
19:45Kzak, if you ever need the help of the Knights of Justice, you need only ask.
19:50That's the nice thing about loyalty.
19:53The falcon! He's back!
19:55Now let's get the key of truth.
20:05This thing must weigh more than Phil.
20:08Cute, Gallop. Real cute.
20:12Move away from it.
20:14Excalibur, be my strength!
20:18I'd heard this sword has a thing about stones.
20:22We find that key and we can be home in time for the Super Bowl!
20:27Be there, baby! Be there!
20:37We're home!
20:39We're home!
20:41We're home!
20:43We're home!
20:46The key!
20:51Let me at it!
20:53No, Phil, you can't!
21:00I had it right in my hands.
21:02Why did you grab it? You know I'm the only one who can hold it.
21:05Oh, man, I blew it. Now the whole mission was a waste.
21:09I'm sorry I yelled at you, Phil.
21:12The key's gone, but we'll get another shot at it.
21:15And the mission wasn't a waste.
21:17I think Merlin wanted us to learn about loyalty
21:19almost as bad as he wanted us to find the key.
21:21Merlin? Oh, man, how am I going to break the news to him?
21:25Delicately, Phil. Very delicately.
22:12Oh!
