0:00:54 > 0:00:56I don't know.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58We'll surround it.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03I want you to go in there and flush it out.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04You want me to go in there?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07You said you don't know what it is. It could be dangerous.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Let's hope so. Now go.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Arthur, no!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I'm sorry.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Sorry.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Ha-ha! It's a unicorn.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38What have you done?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51What ARE you looking at?
0:03:24 > 0:03:30Father! A unicorn's horn to grace the walls of Camelot.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Magnificent.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38It is the first one I have seen. Gaius.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Look at this.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It is very impressive, my lord.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48What is it, Gaius? Speak your mind.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Unicorns are rare and mystical creatures.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55There is a legend that bad fortune comes to anyone who slays one.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Nonsense. We will be the envy of every kingdom.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I am pleased you like it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I don't understand how Arthur can have
0:04:09 > 0:04:11taken pleasure from killing the unicorn.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Arthur is a hunter. It's in his blood.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Whereas you are something entirely different.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20It was the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I wish you had been there.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26It's a rare privilege. Alas, there are few unicorns still alive.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29You try telling that to Arthur.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I can imagine it would be difficult.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35My horse threw a shoe. Take it to the blacksmith.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Make sure he does a good job.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43And when you've done that, you can polish my...saddle. Merlin?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Have you listened to a word I said? You've got a face like a wounded bear
0:04:48 > 0:04:51ever since we got back from that hunting trip.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Don't tell me you're still upset about the unicorn?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I don't think you should have killed it.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Oh, really? And why is that?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It was... It was doing no harm.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05What purpose did you serve by killing it?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09We were hunting. That's what you do.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Would you have me bring it home as a pet?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15- Look at this. - What?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Do you know what that is? Rat droppings.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20You need to spend less time worrying about unicorns
0:05:20 > 0:05:22and more time worrying about rats.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24BANGING ON DOOR Enter.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27My lord, the king requests your service as a matter of urgency.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Find that rat.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Every single ear has died.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45We have received reports that it is the same throughout the kingdom.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I rode through this valley yesterday. The crop looked healthy then.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It happened overnight.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Is it a disease of some kind?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Perhaps. I have asked the court physician to conduct some tests.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00We must ration what little food we have left.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Any ideas what caused the crops to die?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11No disease I know of could spread through the kingdom in one night.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- What could kill all the plants? - It is not killing ALL the plants.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17The trees and hedges are unharmed.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Unfortunately, you can't eat trees and hedges.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's only killing plants we can eat?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24It appears so.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27If it's not a disease, it must be magic.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29We can't assume that, Merlin.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Perhaps there is something in the soil or water that can explain it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I can't tell the king it's caused by sorcery until I am certain.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Next!
0:06:45 > 0:06:49The livestock is either dying or has been eaten. Food and water is scarce.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We are distributing rations, but they are meagre.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56This is all the grain we have?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01The people are growing scared. There has been some looting.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05We must maintain order at all costs. Panic will make the situation worse.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08From tonight, Camelot will be under curfew.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09I will see to it.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10< Give it back. It's mine.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12< It's not yours...
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Merlin. Is it true about the crops? They're all dead?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'm afraid so.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I think we may have to start tightening our belts.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I'm sure Arthur will think of something.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24And if he doesn't, I will.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Merlin!
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Sand? And you say the well is full of it?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I sent men down to the underground reservoir.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50There is no trace of water to be found.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52First the crops, and now this.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55It is the same throughout the kingdom.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58There is precious little water anywhere.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Gaius. Can you offer any explanation for this?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I cannot think of a scientific explanation.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I can only conclude it is the result of sorcery.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I believe you are right. It is the work of magic.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14The kingdom is under attack.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Greot gecuman leccan.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Gecuman gedryc waeter.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26I was... I was just...
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I was hoping you may have been trying to turn it back into water.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I know I have cautioned against using magic,
0:08:33 > 0:08:38but if ever there was a time to use your talents, it's now.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39I wish I knew how.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I've tried everything.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44If it is magic,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46it is more powerful magic than I possess.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Patrol the market and the lower town. No-one is to leave their homes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Dismissed.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Merlin.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14You do realise there's a curfew?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Yeah, I was in your chambers, hunting for the rat.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Did you find it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20No.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23So you have been outwitted by a rat?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25They do say rats are very intelligent.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29More intelligent than you, it would seem. Go home.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34It'd be embarrassing to lock up my own servant for breaking the curfew!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36What was that?
0:09:37 > 0:09:38What?
0:10:08 > 0:10:13That means you go the other way and cut him off.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23INAUDIBLE
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Where is he? - I didn't seen anyone.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39He was right here. Don't tell me you let him get past you?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Arthur, no-one passed me.
0:10:40 > 0:10:46Are you looking for me? I am Anhora, keeper of the unicorns.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Camelot is under curfew. What is your business here?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I have come to deliver a message.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56And who is this message for?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00It is for you, Arthur Pendragon.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Is it you who is responsible for killing our crops,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04turning our water into sand?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06You alone are responsible
0:11:06 > 0:11:08for the misfortune that has befallen Camelot.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Me?! You think I'd bring drought and famine upon my own people?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15When you killed the unicorn, you unleashed a curse.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18For this, Camelot will suffer greatly.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20If you have put a curse on Camelot,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23you will lift it, or you will pay with your life.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24The curse was not my doing.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- Undo the curse... - Only you can do that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You will be tested.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You're under arrest.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40Until you have proven yourself, and made amends for killing the unicorn,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42the curse will not be lifted.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45If you fail any of these tests,
0:11:45 > 0:11:50Camelot will be damned for all eternity.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58And you believe what this Anhora said about the curse to be true?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00You said there's a legend
0:12:00 > 0:12:04that misfortune comes to anyone who slays a unicorn. It makes sense.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Not much for breakfast, I'm afraid.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08We're down to our last few scraps of food.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Where did you get the water to make the tea?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Fortunately, for both of us, you forgot to empty your bath yesterday.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18You're making tea from my bath water?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It's not so bad.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Perhaps a little...soapy.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28What does Arthur think about the curse?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31He doesn't believe it's his fault.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33He's convinced Anhora is responsible for it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37If you do not wish to drink bath water, make sure Arthur sees sense.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54That...rat! It has eaten through my boot. Look at it!
0:12:54 > 0:12:58I guess the rat must be as hungry as the rest of us(!)
0:12:58 > 0:12:59You think this is funny?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Moderately.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Get it mended, and find that rat.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Have you given any more thought to what Anhora said last night?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, he may have escaped last night,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14but at least we now know who we're looking for.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I have told my father that I will find this Anhora
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and put an end to it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22What if he's telling the truth about the curse?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24You think I'm responsible for bringing suffering
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- upon my own people? - No, not deliberately.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35When you killed the unicorn, I saw Anhora in the forest.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Why didn't you say anything?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41It was just for a second, and then he disappeared.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I thought I was seeing things. But he was there.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- That doesn't prove anything. - He might be telling the truth.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Because he was skulking about in the forest?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Why would Anhora appear in Camelot, then lie?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57We had him cornered. He was trying to talk his way out of it by blaming me.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00He can disappear. He didn't have to talk his way out of anything.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03My father has warned me about sorcerers like him.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05They will not rest until our kingdom is destroyed.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- I believe he's telling the truth. - Then you are a fool.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12You cannot trust a single word a sorcerer says.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14You'd do well to remember that.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Now, I think I've figured out
0:14:18 > 0:14:22what Anhora's next move is going to be, and when he makes it,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24we're going to be waiting.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Don't you worry about keeping watch, Merlin(!)
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You just make yourself comfortable. MERLIN SIGHS
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- And stop smacking your lips. - I'm thirsty.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48We're all thirsty, Merlin.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50HE SIGHS
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Psst! Someone's coming.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Show yourself.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Who are you?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55My name is... My name is...
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Speak up!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58My name is Evan, my lord.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I see you think you can help yourself to our grain reserves?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03My lord. I do not steal for myself.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06My children have not eaten for two days.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It is the same for everyone.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I know that it is wrong to steal.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I could not bear to see them starve.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Then you should go home.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24If you are caught stealing again, I will not spare you.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Yes, my lord. Thank you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Wait.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Use it sparingly.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52It might be the last food you and your family get for some time.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56You have shown yourself to be merciful and kind, my lord.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00This will bring its own reward.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Stop him! - Come back here!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Stop that man! He's been looting!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I never knew water could taste so good.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48My throat was so dry, I thought I couldn't talk.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52At least some good would have come from the drought, then(!)
0:17:52 > 0:17:53More?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59The sand has disappeared and water returned to the well.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It doesn't make any sense.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09I suppose you have some explanation for this, Merlin?
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Let's hear it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Anhora said you would be tested.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16And last night, in the grain store, you let that villager go.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18He said it would bring its own reward.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20He was merely grateful,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- and so he should have been. - Maybe that was your first test?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26You passed it, so the curse has begun to lift.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Perhaps THIS is your reward?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I know you don't have to listen to me.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I'm glad we agree on something.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39If you're tested again, you have a chance to end the suffering.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I know you want that more than anything.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Perhaps we should seek Anhora out.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I cannot negotiate with sorcerers. My father wouldn't hear of it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Then it's probably best you don't tell him.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I must go check on the guard.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03See if you can find me some food.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Find some food(!)
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Swelt deor.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Who are they?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39They have come from the outlying villages in search of food.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43We don't have enough rations to feed the people who are already here.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45You shouldn't blame yourself.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I'm sure you're doing everything you can.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It is not enough.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Did you manage to find any food?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Where did you get that?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I was able to smuggle it out of the palace kitchens.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Share it out amongst the children and the old people.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Make it go as far as you can.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- I have lost my appetite. - You have to eat something.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I can't.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Not while my people are starving.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Do you really believe I am responsible for the curse?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I'm afraid so.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31We're going to the forest first thing in the morning.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Maybe we can pick up Anhora's trail.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Whatever it takes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37OK, but you have to eat.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41You won't be able to help anyone if you're too weak to pass the test.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56What kind of meat is this?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- It has a very strange texture. - It's pork.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02This isn't pork.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It's far too stringy. What is it? It's...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It's rat, isn't it?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Try not to think about it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Look at me. I'm being rude. Here I am,
0:21:22 > 0:21:28stuffing my face with this delicious stew when you're hungry, too.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Come on.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Take a seat.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Eat!
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Mmmm.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It's actually pretty tasty.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well, I'm glad you like it,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57because...
0:22:00 > 0:22:01..there's plenty more.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03KNOCK AT DOOR
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Enter.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Morgana?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I hate to ask, but I was wondering if you had anything to eat...
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27You're looking for footprints or broken branches.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Anything that would indicate someone passed that... Merlin!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Merlin! He's here!
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Arthur?
0:23:06 > 0:23:07You?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14You're a thief!
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Wasn't that obvious when you caught me stealing your grain?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I have more important things to deal with...
0:23:20 > 0:23:22You didn't believe my story?
0:23:22 > 0:23:27What kind of man lies about starving children to save his own skin?
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Your people starve because you let thieves steal their grain.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- That is why they doubt you. - You do not speak for my people.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Your father would never have been fooled like that.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40That's why he doubts you'll make a good king.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43You know nothing of what my father thinks.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I think he wishes he had another son,
0:23:46 > 0:23:47one worthy of taking his place.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50You shame him.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Pick up your sword.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57The king must fear the day when you will take the throne.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16The king must wonder if you are even his son.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25This is your doing?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28It was a test to see what is truly in your heart.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Your tricks prove nothing.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34You could have chosen to ignore his taunts. What harm would they do you?
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- You will lift the curse, Sorcerer. - It is not in my power.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Killing me will not help you.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Agh!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53You have failed the test.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56For this, Camelot will pay dearly.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58My people have done nothing!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Your people's suffering is not my doing.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03It is yours.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12< Arthur?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Arthur?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22What is it? What has happened?
0:25:22 > 0:25:28All our remaining supplies have rotted. Every last grain.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I know Arthur's stubborn and pig-headed
0:25:34 > 0:25:37and annoying, but he cares about his people...
0:25:37 > 0:25:40more than he cares about himself.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45He will not forgive himself for making his people suffer.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50You must make sure he doesn't do anything rash.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53The mood he's in, I don't know what he's going to do.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Ready?
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- You're sure they're not poisonous? - Quite certain.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05They say they taste like chicken.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Unless we are to starve, we must hope they are right.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20This tastes nothing like chicken.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30There are some supplies left in the palace stores.
0:26:30 > 0:26:36We are distributing them, but there is not enough to live on.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38They will not survive for long.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Then you must stop distributing food to the people.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43They will starve.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48We must conserve the food we have for our army.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50We cannot let our people go without food.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52We must defend the kingdom at all costs.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- What is the point defending a...? - What would you have me do?!
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Ask the neighbouring kingdoms for help.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02They may be able to spare some food.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04No. As soon as they realise how we weak we are,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- our enemies will strike against us. - You don't know that...
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I would rather starve than beg my enemies for help.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13What of our kingdom's reputation? Have you no pride?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I cannot think of my pride when our people go hungry.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24They are all I can think of.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Give the order to stop distributing food to the people.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Is that understood?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41You will have to give that order yourself.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Very well.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48But if you had caught the sorcerer, I would not have to.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50That's your responsibility.
0:27:50 > 0:27:56One day you will understand what it takes to be king.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05They don't yet know that there is worse to come.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07What do you mean?
0:28:07 > 0:28:12My father is going to stop distributing food to the people.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15They are to be left to starve.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I had a chance to lift the curse.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22And I have failed them.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24You weren't to know you were being tested.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30My people are starving.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Camelot is on the verge of collapse.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38It is all my doing.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Anhora! SOUND ECHOES
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Show yourself.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Anhora!
0:29:04 > 0:29:06You wanted to talk with me?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I have come to seek your help.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11The people are starving.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14You must believe me when I say
0:29:14 > 0:29:16it gives me no pleasure to see your people suffering.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19If it pains you, put an end to it.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22It is not in my power to lift the curse.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Then give Arthur another chance.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27He has accepted it is his responsibility.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31He will prove himself worthy and lift the curse if you give him a chance.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34You have faith in Arthur?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I trust him with my life.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Arthur must go to the Labyrinth of Gedref.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47There, he will face a final test.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50If he fails, there is no hope.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53The curse will destroy Camelot.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Wait!
0:30:00 > 0:30:02What kind of test will he face?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05ANHORA: That is for Arthur alone to discover.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Let me come with you. I might be able to help.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16You're not coming. Stay here, and help the people as best you can.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Is that understood?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47You said Arthur would face a test.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- You're preparing a trap for him. - The trap isn't for Arthur.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56It is for you. Gehaeftan.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Merlin?
0:33:41 > 0:33:42I'm sorry.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Let him go.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50I will take your test, but not till he's released.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52That is not possible.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Merlin is part of the test.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Please sit.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02If you refuse the test, you will have failed
0:34:02 > 0:34:06and Camelot will be destroyed.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I thought I told you to stay at home.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Let's get on with it.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18There are two goblets before you.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22One of the goblets contains a deadly poison,
0:34:22 > 0:34:27the other goblet, a harmless liquid.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30All the liquid in both goblets must be drunk,
0:34:30 > 0:34:34but each of you may only drink from a single goblet.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39What kind of ridiculous test is that? What does that prove?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41What it proves is for you to decide.
0:34:41 > 0:34:47If you pass the test, the curse will be lifted.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Let's think about this.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- There must be a way round it. - It is perfectly simple.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03We have to find a way to determine which goblet has the poison.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Then I'll drink it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I will be the one to drink it.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10This is my doing. I'm drinking it.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14It is more important you live. You're the future king. I'm a servant.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17This is no time to be a hero, Merlin. It really doesn't suit you.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21What if I drink from mine first,
0:35:21 > 0:35:26and if that's not poisoned, I will then drink yours.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29He said each of us is only allowed to drink from a single goblet.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38I had no idea you were so keen to die for me.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Trust me, I can hardly believe it myself.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47I'm glad you are here, Merlin.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I've got it!
0:35:55 > 0:35:57We pour all the liquid into one goblet
0:35:57 > 0:35:59and then we can be sure it is poisoned.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Then all the liquid can be drunk, and from a single goblet.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10You never cease to surprise me. You are a lot smarter than you look.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Is that actually a compliment?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Look out!
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- No! I will drink it. - As if I'd let you.
0:36:19 > 0:36:19Listen to me!
0:36:19 > 0:36:21You know me, Merlin.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23I never listen to you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Arthur!
0:36:25 > 0:36:27No!
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Arthur!
0:36:32 > 0:36:33No!
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Arthur.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Arthur.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Come on!
0:36:41 > 0:36:44He is not dead. He has merely consumed a sleeping draft.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46He will come round shortly.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50What?
0:36:50 > 0:36:53A unicorn is pure of heart.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56If you kill one, you must make amends
0:36:56 > 0:37:00by proving that you also are pure of heart.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Arthur was willing to sacrifice his life to save yours.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10He has proven what is truly in his heart.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15The curse will be lifted.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29Merlin, Arthur, there is good news. The crops are growing once again.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- They are bringing in the harvest. - You did it.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Is this your doing?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37He won't be troubling us any more.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Good.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Make sure the grain reserves are re-stocked.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44I will see to it.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51There is something we must do first.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00I should never have ended your life. I'm sorry.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21(Arthur...)
0:38:33 > 0:38:39ANHORA: When he who kills a unicorn proves himself to be pure of heart...
0:38:39 > 0:38:43the unicorn will live again.
