0:00:17 > 0:00:19CHANTING MENACINGLY
0:00:44 > 0:00:49- Mistress?- Is it done?
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Yes, mistress. The potion is prepared.
0:00:55 > 0:01:01Then Camelot and all its riches will soon be mine.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10SHE GRUNTS
0:01:14 > 0:01:17SHE SHRIEKS
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Camelot.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Keep up, Merlin. We've got a busy day ahead.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's a busy day every day.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28You and Arthur, you work me to the bone.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Do stop moaning. At least the work's interesting.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Gaius... we're collecting pots.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35We do the same thing each and every Thursday
0:02:35 > 0:02:40at exactly the same time and nothing interesting ever happens.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Please. We seek Uther Pendragon.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49- Where can he be found?- I...- We have urgent business with the King.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54I'm sorry, but any business you have with the King will have to be pursued through the usual channels.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57But this is the seal of the House of Tregor.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Where did you get this?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It does not belong to me.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It belongs to me.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12My lady. Merlin.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Lady Catrina. Is it really you?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I can hardly believe it myself.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31We had tidings from the North that the House of Tregor had fallen to invaders.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33All that you heard was true, my Lord, and worse.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- But your father... the King... - Gone, Sire.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40The enemy attacked without warning. We were outnumbered five to one.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43He could not endure.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48I would never have survived had it not been for my faithful servant, Jonas.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50But we did survive.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And we have made it this far.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Forgive me, my lord. I fear my trials have taken their toll.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Your sufferings are beyond imagining, my lady.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11It would be an honour to help you in any way we can.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15A bed for the night would be most welcome.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Then consider yourselves as our esteemed guests. It is the least that we can do.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Thank you.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- She's very brave.- Yes.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Sounds terrible, what she's been through.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Terrible, indeed.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- What's wrong?- Nothing.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Merlin! Job for you!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Work, work, work...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm sorry it's not quite what you're used to.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Forgive me, but I didn't get your name?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Merlin.
0:04:52 > 0:04:59Well, Merlin, considering we spent last night in a cave, this will do very nicely. Thank you.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Well, if you need anything, just ask.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04My master's chambers are only upstairs.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08My mistress and I could not be more grateful for the kindness you have shown us.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11You're welcome.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Well, I can't sleep here. This whole place stinks of cleanliness.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Do not worry, mistress. I will find you somewhere
0:05:30 > 0:05:32more suitable.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41GOBBLES AND GRUNTS
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well, this is wonderful. Thank you.
0:05:50 > 0:05:57It's an honour. The Houses of Tregor and Pendragon have been allies as long anyone can remember.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59My father often spoke of you, my lord.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01And I will remember him always.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to meet him.- I'm sorry too.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08For the House of Tregor is no more.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10No, Catrina. It lives on in you.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I only wish that were true.
0:06:12 > 0:06:20It is, my lady, your courage, your modesty and you are as you always were. Ever since you were a child.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Oh, I fear I am much changed since then, my lord.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Well, yes, it's true.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27You are far more beautiful now.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33FAKES A YAWN
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'm sorry. Hard day's training.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39If you'll excuse me.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Of course.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Arthur.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I should retire myself.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Morgana.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Can I get you anything else?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51You've hardly touched your food.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56I'm sorry. I find I have little appetite, ever since that day.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I wish I had been there for you.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01But you are helping me now.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Your kindness, your companionship.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I must also bid you good night, my lord.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It's been a long day.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Of course. Good night, my lady.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27There's something really different about the Lady Catrina.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Oh?- Most of Uther's guests treat me like the dirt on their shoes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But she was really nice, even after all she's been through.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Yes, she was always very gracious.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- You've met her before? - It was many years ago.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I doubt if she would remember.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Now, Merlin, I have a job for you.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Does it ever end? - Give this to the Lady Catrina.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49With my compliments.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- What is it?- She'll know what it is. - But what is it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55OK, OK.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01COUGHS AND WHEEZES
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- What's that? - Compliments of the King.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Revolting.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Uther's so stupid.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31So blinded by pretty things.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Already he falls for me.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I can see it in his eyes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40It is only a matter of time before he is completely
0:08:40 > 0:08:42under my control.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Excellent.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45KNOCK ON DOOR
0:08:46 > 0:08:52Jonas, you must take these back to the kitchens. It's perfectly rotten.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I'm sorry, I did not mean to intrude.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57That's quite all right.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59At least I wasn't undressing.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04The court physician asked me to give you this.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07What is it?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Gaius prepared it for you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm terribly sorry. There must be some mistake.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- I requested no medicine.- Oh.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Oh.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Are you sure?- Quite sure, thank you.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I am in perfect health.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36She didn't ask for it, she didn't need it, she didn't even want it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Interesting.- If you say so.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46When I treated her as a child it was for an incurable disease.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Catrina had a rare bone disorder afflicting her joints.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52She often had difficulty walking, especially after a long ride.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55My tonic was the only thing that brought her relief.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58She walks as well as you or I.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00So I noticed.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- So, the tonic was some kind of test? - Indeed.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09And I'm starting to wonder
0:10:09 > 0:10:12if the Lady Catrina is really the Lady Catrina at all.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20What a charming idea this is, Uther.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Yes, a ride before breakfast always gives me a healthy appetite.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29I've had the kitchens prepare us something special.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Oh, how sweet of you.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54HE COUGHS
0:11:09 > 0:11:16- Can I help you?- No, I, I... I was just changing the sheets.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Please, go ahead. Don't let me get in your way.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24All done, thank you.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Merlin? Aren't you forgetting something?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Right.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- What did you find? - Something wasn't right in there.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02There was this strange smell and I could have sworn the Lady Catrina's bed hadn't been slept in.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- And there was something else.- Oh?
0:12:08 > 0:12:13Jonas. As I was leaving, I thought I saw something.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16This is going to sound mad, but it looked like Jonas had a tail.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18A tail?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Are you sure? - Well, I mean, I only glimpsed it for a moment. I could be wrong.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24No, no, I believe you.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Merlin, we must keep an eye on her. A very close eye.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35How wonderful it is to sit here with you, Uther.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41It is a terrible thing to find oneself alone in the world.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Suddenly, cruelly alone.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49When Ygraine died,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I feared I would never recover...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56..but then as time passed,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I have become used to being alone.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02But you have Morgana and Arthur. Surely they are a comfort to you?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05They are. Of course they are. Both of them.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11It must be hard to be King and father both.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15To shoulder all that responsibility by yourself.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23But I feel sure, my lord, that you and I shall not remain alone forever.
0:13:23 > 0:13:31We will find love anew, a kindred spirit to share the burden of this life.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I believe we will.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41THEY GIGGLE
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Honestly. Look at them.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Are you all right? - Don't you think it's odd how quickly they've become close?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51There's nothing odd about that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53My father is a wealthy and powerful man.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Good evening, Sire. - A very good evening to you, Gaius.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00You seem in high spirits.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I am, I am.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04The Lady Catrina has struck a chord with you.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Catrina is a remarkable woman.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11That she is, Sire. You may remember I treated her as a child.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Such courage in the face of her condition.- Condition?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- What are you talking about? - Oh, I thought you knew, Sire.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22I diagnosed Catrina with an incurable bone disease.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Well, evidently you were wrong.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- There's nothing the matter with her now.- It has been a miraculous recovery, I must say.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'm sorry, Gaius, what are you suggesting?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Oh, I'm not suggesting anything, Sire.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38It's just a little strange, that's all.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41The only strange thing I see is that you won't admit that you were wrong.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Sire, this is not about me.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It's about the Lady Catrina.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51The Lady Catrina is our honoured guest and you will show her the respect that she deserves.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Is there something on your mind, my lord?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02No, it's nothing.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Speak, my lord.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Is it true that as a child, you suffered from a terrible illness?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- Who told you that? - Gaius, the court physician.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20- He said he treated you for it. - Yes, my lord.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22What he says is true.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25But as you can see, I suffer no more.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And for that, you must be eternally grateful.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35After all, Gaius thought your condition was incurable, did he not?
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Well, fortunately for us, physicians are often mistaken.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Even your famous Gaius.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47It is unusual, though, for such a serious illness to cure itself.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Almost a miracle.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56I can neither deny it, nor explain it.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59But miracles do happen.
0:15:59 > 0:16:06After all, is it not a miracle that we should find each other again after all this time?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11And my good fortune continues.
0:16:13 > 0:16:20For you are a remarkable man, Uther Pendragon. You are brave,
0:16:20 > 0:16:21but compassionate.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You are powerful, but modest.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Most of all...
0:16:30 > 0:16:34you are very, very...
0:16:34 > 0:16:37..handsome.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- I'm sorry.- No, my lord, it is I who must apologise.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43It's a long time since Ygraine,
0:16:43 > 0:16:44since anyone.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I understand completely. There's no hurry.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49We have all the time in the world.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53And that time will come, I assure you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02PLATE CLATTERS
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Sceawere, folgie min bebeod.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12MOANING
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Merlin!
0:18:17 > 0:18:21I have no doubt, Merlin, that you have prepared a very good explanation for this.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Yes, no. I, er...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Apparently I'm wrong.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- Please tell me you weren't spying on Lady Catrina. - It's not what it seems.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Yes, Merlin, it's exactly what it seems.
0:18:39 > 0:18:45If I ever find you doing it again, I'll feed you to the dogs, do I make myself clear?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Yes. Absolutely, Sire.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52GRUNTING
0:19:24 > 0:19:26COUGHING
0:19:44 > 0:19:46SHE PASSES WIND
0:19:46 > 0:19:49FLIES BUZZ
0:19:55 > 0:19:58SHE PASSES WIND VIOLENTLY
0:20:09 > 0:20:11What you saw is seldom seen, Merlin.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Trolls despise all other living things, especially humans.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18They prefer to lurk in the darkness of their nests, feasting on rot and filth.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23- And Jonas? Is he a troll too? - Who can tell what manner of creature he is?
0:20:25 > 0:20:30It makes no sense. If trolls like to lurk in their caves so much, what's this one doing in Camelot?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Trolls are greedy. And Lady Catrina is like the rest of her kind.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35She lusts after wealth and power.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- Uther's wealth and power.- We have reached the point of no return.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Uther has to be told.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52- You're going to tell Uther that his new lady friend's a troll? - That's exactly what I'm going to do.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Good luck.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Thank you, Merlin.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- My lord.- Yes, Gaius?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I have served you for many years now.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22I like to think that in my humble capacity I have advised you
0:21:22 > 0:21:28to the best of my ability, and that my advice has proven to be of value to you.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Yes. This is true.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34And so I must advise you that
0:21:34 > 0:21:40- the Lady Catrina is not all that she seems to be.- Oh?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Then tell me, Gaius. Who is she?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I believe her to be...
0:21:49 > 0:21:52She's, she's...
0:21:53 > 0:21:59- Oh, come on. Out with it. - She is a troll, Sire.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Excuse me?- Some trolls have the power to take any shape they please.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08This one has taken a shape that pleases you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09You are besotted, my lord.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11The creature has you in its power.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Gaius, this is utterly ludicrous.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Please, Sire. Her entire family is wiped out but she alone escapes?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20She has an incurable disease but makes a miraculous recovery?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22And that is nothing but idle gossip.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Is it gossip she does not eat her food? Of course not.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28She feasts on rotten fruit like any other troll!
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Enough! This attack is unwarranted and malicious.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- Sire, her servant is not human, he has a tail.- I said enough!
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Sire, please, I just advise you not to do anything rash.
0:22:42 > 0:22:48And I advise you to hold your tongue, physician, or I will indeed do something rash.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Did you sleep well last night, mistress?- Very well, thank you.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- We have a problem.- Oh?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Last night. You were followed.- Who?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10The boy, Merlin.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12SHE SNARLS
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Merlin.
0:23:13 > 0:23:20- Shall I dispose of him, mistress? - No. That may arouse suspicion.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23But it is time that Uther bent to my wishes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24And if he does not?
0:23:24 > 0:23:30Well, he'll have no choice. There's more than one way to enchant a man.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31SHE SNIGGERS
0:23:39 > 0:23:44- Please don't say anything, Merlin. - I wasn't going to say anything.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50- You were going to say I told you so. - OK, I was. But I'm not going to now.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Uther didn't take it well.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Oh, you see, I told you.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- Sorry.- But I know him, Merlin.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01He's a proud man but he's not stupid.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04He will reflect on what I said. I'm sure he will.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Let's hope you're right.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09SINISTER CHANTING
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Dinner time.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49THEY CACKLE
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Isn't this perfect?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00You and me together.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05A toast, to us.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08I'm not sure everyone sees it that way.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Well, there will always be those who resist change.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- That's to be expected.- We must be mindful of public opinion.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17What are you trying to say, my lord?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Perhaps if you were to visit your cousins for a while.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24To show people that we're not rushing into anything.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29You would let yourself be bullied by some petty-minded fools?
0:25:33 > 0:25:39But of course, of course, my lord. If that is what you wish, then that is what I shall do.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43It is as you said, we have all the time in the world.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Before I go, my lord, there's something I want to give you.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53It belonged to my father.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- And his father before him. - Catrina, I couldn't possibly.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01No, no, no, my lord, I want you to have it.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Perhaps when you look at it,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05it will remind you of me...
0:26:08 > 0:26:11..and the times that we have spent together.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I shall wear it always.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23That is as well, my lord. For while others doubt me, you must not.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You cannot doubt me.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28For am I not beautiful, my lord?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- You are beautiful. - Am I not your heart's desire?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35You are my heart's desire.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Then seal it, my lord.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Seal it, with a kiss.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Yes, a kiss.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Good morning, mistress. - It is indeed, Jonas.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09The King was receptive to your advances?
0:27:09 > 0:27:14How could he resist such beauty?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17The enchantment proved effective then.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20He is but a puppet in my hands.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25SHE GOBBLES AND GRUNTS
0:27:30 > 0:27:31You called for me, Sire?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Ah, Gaius. You will be delighted to hear that none of the worries
0:27:38 > 0:27:43- you brought to my attention have any truth to them whatsoever.- Sire?
0:27:43 > 0:27:49I hope, over time, you will come to see Catrina as she really is.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Over time?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57I've asked Catrina to extend her stay indefinitely.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02- But...- I consider the matter closed, and I hope you show me the courtesy of doing the same.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10It's no good, Merlin. I can tell him she's a troll till I'm blue in the face. He won't listen.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12He sees only a charming, beautiful woman.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14With a body like a tree trunk.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- But we only know that because you saw her in troll form.- So what do we do?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21We must open Uther's eyes.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Show her for what she really is.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Using magic?- It's the only way to reveal her true form.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32But she never leaves his side.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I know.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- You want me to use magic in front of the King?- Yes, Merlin, I do.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I'd never get away with it.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52I'm sorry, Merlin. I know how dangerous this is.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55But we cannot allow her to gain any further control over the King.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Who knows what the consequences might be?
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Just one problem. I know nothing about troll magic.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Then we have work to do.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19A beautiful day.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21The first of many, I hope.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27How fine it must be to have all this at your command.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29It can be a burden sometimes.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Let me share your burden, my lord.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Together we could achieve so much.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40- There is nothing I would like more. - And, my lord...
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Would it not be a good idea to send a message to those who doubt us?
0:29:45 > 0:29:50To show all of Camelot the strength of our love, our commitment.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Yes, what did you have in mind?
0:29:55 > 0:30:00I was thinking of something traditional,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03something permanent.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06SNORING
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Here! The Spell of Revelation,
0:30:16 > 0:30:20with which the true nature of a thing may be revealed.
0:30:20 > 0:30:26- But this applies only to objects, things, not living creatures.- I know.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29But the principle's the same, isn't it?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30I have to try it.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32What other choice do we have?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Very well. But Merlin, choose your moment carefully.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Trolls are vicious creatures.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38KNOCK ON DOOR
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Come in.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43The King requests your presence in the council chambers.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Thank you all for coming.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00You are no doubt wondering why I have gathered you here today.
0:31:00 > 0:31:08Though we live in dark times, today I bring you light...
0:31:08 > 0:31:10and love.
0:31:11 > 0:31:17It gives me the greatest pleasure to inform you that the Houses of Tregor and Pendragon
0:31:17 > 0:31:21are to be united in the closest bond of all.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27I am to marry Lady Catrina of Tregor.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30APPLAUSE
0:31:36 > 0:31:40I am to marry Lady Catrina tomorrow.
0:31:48 > 0:31:55This union heralds a new dawn for the Kingdom. A new beginning...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- HE CHANTS - Hierste thaet cicen sona...
0:31:57 > 0:32:01..and a new queen for all here in Camelot.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Hierste thaet cicen sona...
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I could not hope to have made a better match.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Hierste thaet cicen sona...
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I hope you shall all share in our joy.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18HE GASPS
0:32:18 > 0:32:20APPLAUSE
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Thank you.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29SHE COUGHS
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- What happened?- I'm sorry, mistress. I was not prepared.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33Quick. My potion.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35It was the boy, Merlin.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37It seems he has magic.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Do not concern yourself.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41I resisted him easily enough.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44But there's no telling what he'll do next. He could ruin everything.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46That cannot be allowed to happen.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51What would you have me do, mistress?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59I think it's time we set a trap.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07I'm sorry. I tried. I gave it everything I had.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13- It's not your fault, Merlin. You did your best.- The Spell of Revelation is powerful magic. She could feel it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18- I could see she could feel it. - Her magic must be strong indeed to be able to resist you.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23- Where are you going?- To see Arthur, he's our only hope.- Merlin?
0:33:32 > 0:33:38- Yes?- Arthur, I'm going to tell you something.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- It's not going to be easy.- Right.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It concerns the Lady Catrina.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47You're not using my chambers to spy on her again.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Oh, no. Trust me.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I saw everything I needed to see.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Arthur?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57She's a troll.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59HE LAUGHS
0:33:59 > 0:34:04- She's not that bad. - I'm being serious, she is, she's an actual troll.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Merlin, I know what you're trying to do and I appreciate it, you're a true friend.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11But it's not about whether I like her. It's what makes my father happy.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15And when they announced the wedding today, I realised that Lady Catrina does just that. She makes him happy.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- But... - She's the future Queen of Camelot, whether you like it or not.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21So you better get used to it.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27SOBBING
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Hello?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Master Merlin! I'm sorry.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39What's wrong with you?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47I'm a slave, a prisoner.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49What are you talking about?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52My mistress, she is not as she seems.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57- But you know as much. - Go on. I'm listening.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59She is a cruel, wicked creature.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01She keeps me in chains.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Her magic. I can't escape it.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08She twists my mind, as she is twisting the mind of your King.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Why are you telling me this?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- I can help you.- How?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Below the castle, where she sleeps.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19She keeps her potions there.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Every night she must take these potions.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25It is the magic that transforms her from beast to beauty.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27If you were to take these from her,
0:35:27 > 0:35:32she must remain as a beast and then your King would not be so keen, I think.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Tell me, Jonas.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Why should I believe any of this?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41You must do as you think fit, master Merlin.
0:35:41 > 0:35:48But if my mistress is not stopped, by morning she will be Queen.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03HE COUGHS
0:36:13 > 0:36:19You won't find anything in there. You may possess some magic, wretch,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22but you are no match for me.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26STONE SHATTERS
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Merlin?

0:37:34 > 0:37:39Have I ever looked more revolting?
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- No, mistress.- Oh, Jonas.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47You always say the right thing.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03Ic abietee paet stanhol!
0:39:10 > 0:39:14My lords, ladies and gentlemen of Camelot,
0:39:14 > 0:39:17we are gathered here today to celebrate,
0:39:17 > 0:39:21by the ancient rite of handfasting,
0:39:21 > 0:39:27the union of Uther Pendragon and Lady Catrina of Tregor.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34- Is it your wish, Uther, to become one with this woman?- It is.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39- Is it your wish, Catrina, to become one with this man?- It is.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Do any say nay?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Master Merlin.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Can I help you? Are you lost?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Step aside, Jonas.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01The King's wedding is by invitation only.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I said get out of my way.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11I'm so sorry, but I regret to say that you are not invited.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28With this garland I do tie a knot,
0:40:28 > 0:40:34and by doing so, bind your hands and your hearts for all eternity.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41Leave my mistress alone!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47I, Uther Pendragon, King of Camelot,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50I shall not seek to change thee in any way.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54I shall respect thee, as I respect myself.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04I now pronounce you to be husband and wife.
