Warrior Queen: episode 2: screencaps

[michael_gothard_archive]

Boudicca (Sian Phillips) witnesses the destruction the Romans have perpetrated; the Romans have also had her
flogged, and raped her daughters.



Volthan (Michael Gothard) tells her that it was for the best, because now she knows the truth – the Romans can
never be placated.



He performs a ritual to protect the holy shrine.



The rebellion is spreading but Volthan tells Boudicca she will have to answer to the gods for giving her husband
a Roman burial. Nevertheless, he is determined to help her unite the tribes and drive out the Romans.



Then Morticcus (Tony Haygarth) arrives; he is head of a large tribe, and a rival for the leadership of the rebellion.
Volthan says the tribes will only follow Boudicca.



Morticcus challenges Boudicca – he has more experience of fighting the Romans. He wants to attack Verulamium
but Volthan is in favour of starting at Camulodunum.



Boudicca’s half-Roman son Kuno (Darien Angadi) offers to fight instead of Boudicca.



But Kuno is hopelessly outmatched; Morticcus disarms him easily.



Boudicca accepts a sacred offering from Volthan, which Morticcus refuses.



Boudicca prepares to fight.



The gods must have been on her side, because she is victorious – but Morticcus refuses to join forces and follow
her. Volthan regrets the loss of a powerful ally, and quietly asks the gods to join Morticcus’ path with theirs.
