0:00:02 > 0:00:08In a land of myth and a time of magic the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11His name, Merlin.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19Hider eft funda. On thysne middangeard.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Arthur Pendragon, a great destiny awaits you.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38Arise, Sir Vidor, Knight of Camelot.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Arise, Sir Caridoc, Knight of Camelot.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47You have been accorded a great honour.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50With that honour comes great responsibility.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53From this day forth,
0:00:53 > 0:00:54you are sworn to live by the Knight's Code.
0:00:54 > 0:01:01You have pledged to conduct yourselves with nobility, honour and respect.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Your word is your sacred bond.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10You will find no-one who better embodies these values than my son, Arthur.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Follow his example, and you will prove yourself worthy of your title.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I accept your challenge.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57If I am to face you in combat, do me the courtesy of revealing your identity.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13My name is Morgause.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I've searched the records going back more than 300 years.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I could find nothing to say a woman cannot issue a challenge.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55There must be some way to stop to this?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58According to the Knight's Rules, her challenge is perfectly valid.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00It seems there is nothing we can do.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- We don't know anything about this woman. I will not let you face her in combat.- I accepted the challenge.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07If I refuse to fight, it will be seen as cowardice.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09She killed five guards. You should not underestimate her.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14I cannot demand that my knights uphold the code and then break it myself.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I must face her tomorrow.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Who is she?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Why would she challenge Arthur? It seems no-one's ever heard of her.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- I feel as if I've met her somewhere before.- Really?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Where could you know her from?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I don't know.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Do you know why she challenged you?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I'm the King's son.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Perhaps she believed she will prove herself.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Yeah, but you don't want to fight her, do you?- I have no choice.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02What is it?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06You've never faced a woman in combat. What if you hesitate?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- She could use that to her advantage. - You think she'll defeat me?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I'm just saying you need to be cautious,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14because it sounds like she's pretty handy with a sword.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Since when do you know anything about combat?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I need you to take a message to Morgause for me.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29If I'm seen to do it, it could be viewed as cowardice.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33You must persuade her to withdraw the challenge.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- What do you want? - I have a message from Prince Arthur.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47He wants you to withdraw your challenge.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Arthur has no desire to fight you.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54If you withdraw, he'll grant you safe passage from the kingdom.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Leave now, while you still can.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01If Arthur has no desire to fight me, perhaps he should withdraw.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03No. He'll never do that.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05It's not in him to withdraw.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Then we have that in common.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16If you fight him, he will have to treat you as he does any other opponent.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It won't matter that you're a woman.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I do not ask for special treatment.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Arthur has no quarrel with you.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Why would you challenge him?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27My reasons are not your concern.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44You gave her a chance to withdraw.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Whatever happens, you are not to blame.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06The fight is by the Knight's Rules, and to the death.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I'm offering you a final chance to withdraw.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I suggest you take it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Then you leave me no choice.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Make me a promise.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16What is it you ask?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Come to me three days hence, and accept the challenge I set you.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- And the nature of this challenge? - That is for me to decide.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Do I have your word that you will accept, no matter what?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30You have my word.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56You were fortunate. The wound isn't too deep.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00You seem familiar. Have you visited Camelot in the past?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I was here many years ago.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I was just a baby at the time. I doubt you would remember me.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11I am grateful for your help.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- It could have been worse. - How exactly could it have been worse?
0:08:22 > 0:08:28I have never felt so humiliated in my entire life.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I was defeated by a girl.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It's actually quite funny when you think about it.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Or not.- No.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40It's like you said. I was hindered because I was fighting a woman.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45I was worried I was going to hurt her. That's why she won.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47You didn't look hindered.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I'll stop talking now.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I didn't mean to intrude.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- I wanted to introduce myself. I am the Lady Morgana. - I know who you are.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21How is your arm? You were wounded.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It will heal soon enough.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You look tired.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- I haven't been sleeping.- I know for myself how troubling that can be.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Could it be that we have met somewhere before?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I am glad we have met now.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45That's a beautiful bracelet.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46It was a gift...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49from my mother.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Please. I would like you to have it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- It's a healing bracelet. It will help you sleep.- I couldn't.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59You must be tired. I will leave you to rest.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I hope you will remember me fondly.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Gefultume hi thaet heo onslaepe.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Congratulations on your victory.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03You are a skilful swordsman...woman. Swords...
0:11:03 > 0:11:05swords-woman.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12You have a beautiful horse.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I shall expect to see you three days hence.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- How will I find you?- When the time comes, you will know your way.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27If I don't show up, it might be because I don't know where I'm going.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31The path you must follow will become clear to you.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I should thank you for allowing me to retrieve my sword.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'm starting to wish I hadn't.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38You showed yourself to be a man of honour.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41You inherited that trait from your mother.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45You knew my mother?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I knew her very well.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Wait!
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Morgana? Morgana? Morgana?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I was fast asleep.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's nearly midday.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I can't remember the last time I slept so well.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14I'll fetch you some clothes.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- What is to be the nature of this challenge?- She didn't say.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I gave her my word that I would accept it, no matter what.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42You should never have made such a promise. You don't know what she might ask of you.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47She had her sword to my chest. I had no choice.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Morgause said that she knew my mother.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52She told you this?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Obviously, she's lying.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02She's playing on your affections for your mother to lure you into a trap.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04That makes no sense. She spared my life.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08This confirms my suspicions. I believe Morgause is an enchantress.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09How else could she have won?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- I don't believe she was using magic. - You would know for certain if she were?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Under no circumstances will you go to meet her, or accept this challenge.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I gave her my word.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I don't care what was said to her! You will remain in Camelot.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I want to hear what she knows about my mother.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26She knows nothing! She is lying.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29You will not go to her. I forbid it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- So I am to break my word? - Escort my son to his chambers.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Under no circumstances will he be allowed to leave.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37You're confining me to my chambers?!
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I am protecting you from your own foolishness!
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Why are there guards outside the door?- My father has confined me
0:13:55 > 0:14:00to my chambers and has forbidden me from accepting Morgause's challenge.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Well, maybe he's got a point. You don't know what she might have asked you to do.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I gave her my word.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10So I take it we're going anyway?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You're smarter than you look. Gather some supplies, we leave tonight.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Oh, and Merlin - find a way to get me out of here.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- How's Arthur?- You mean, after being defeated by a girl in front of the whole of Camelot?
0:14:22 > 0:14:28- I've seen him happier. - I think you're enjoying this, Merlin.- Maybe a little.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45(Ic the gehatte, searobend.)
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I got the supplies.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Merlin. Is it my imagination, or are you getting fat?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Are you sure you're strong enough to hold me?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I'm stronger than I look.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11What are you doing? Lower the rope.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16There is no more rope!
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I don't know if I can hold it much longer!
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Merlin, do not let go of the rope.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34THUD!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Which way?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Do you actually know where we're going?- It's this way.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00HORSE WHINNIES
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Come on.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06What is wrong with this horse? It's even dumber than you, Merlin.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Where are you going? I thought you said it was left.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's not me, it's the horse!
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Morgause told me. "When the time comes, you'll know your way."
0:17:20 > 0:17:23So the horse knows where we're going? Great(!)
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Come on, Merlin.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Merlin?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47You have been guarding an empty room!
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Send out a search party. Find Arthur and bring him back to Camelot.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Do you have any idea what Morgause might want with Arthur?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I'm afraid I don't.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08What if Morgause challenges you to do something you don't want to do?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I'm not expecting it to be easy. That's why it's a challenge.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13So you'd do anything she asks of you?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I gave her my word. It's a question of honour.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20What if she challenges you to do something even less honourable than breaking your word?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Will you stop rabbiting on!
0:18:24 > 0:18:27We're in Odin's territory. We could be attacked at any second.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It's strange to agree to something when you don't know what it is.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34One more word out of you, Merlin, and you will be taking the challenge in my place.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Gaius. Come in.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I've brought you your sleeping draught.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I could have saved you the trouble.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I've had the best night's sleep I can remember.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- No nightmares?- I cannot tell you what a relief it is.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I only wish I could thank Morgause for her gift.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Morgause gave you that bracelet?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59She said it would help me sleep. She spoke the truth.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Gaius, what is it?
0:19:00 > 0:19:06Nothing. I am merely surprised that it was so effective.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I feel as if I somehow know Morgause.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I don't see how,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14but I am pleased you're feeling better.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Maybe we should turn back.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21You can go back if you want to. I won't stop you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23You don't know anything about Morgause.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26You don't know what she's going to ask you to do.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28We don't even know where we're going. We're following a horse.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Morgause said she knew my mother.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48What was your mother like?
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I never knew her. She died before I opened my eyes.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I'm sorry.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I barely know anything about her.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Can't you ask your father?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07He refuses to talk of her. It must be too painful for him.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Sometimes it's as if she never even existed.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I still have a sense of her,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17almost as though she is part of me.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23It's the same with my father. I never knew him.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27And my mother has barely spoken of him.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32I've got this vague memory...
0:20:32 > 0:20:34It's probably just my imagination.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I would do anything for even the vaguest memory.
0:20:42 > 0:20:48- Is that why you're so determined to find Morgause, to see what she knows about your mother?- Is that so wrong?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50No.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55We should get some rest.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04My Lord. I must speak with you.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It concerns Morgause.
0:21:07 > 0:21:14- What is it? - While I was treating her wound, I noticed that she wore a bracelet.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Go on.- It bore the mark of one of the great houses, the great house of Gorlois.
0:21:18 > 0:21:24There is only one person other than Morgana who would have cause to wear such a bracelet.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29That is, her half-sister.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I was led to believe that the child had died.
0:21:37 > 0:21:44The child lived, my Lord. She was smuggled out of Camelot shortly after her birth.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45How do you know this?
0:21:48 > 0:21:53It was I who entrusted the child to the high priestesses of the Old Religion.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57You should have told me, Gaius.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I had sworn a solemn oath, my Lord.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I am only breaking it now
0:22:03 > 0:22:08- because I fear what Morgause might do.- Does Morgana know?
0:22:08 > 0:22:13- I don't believe so. - Morgana must never find out she has a half-sister.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I will not have her loyalties divided.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Of course.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24The high priestesses will have trained Morgause from birth.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Her magic will be powerful.
0:22:26 > 0:22:32Then we must hope that the search party finds Arthur before he reaches her.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Seems your horse has brought us to a dead end.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- Now where's he going? - I think you're going to get wet.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47You don't say!
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Arthur?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Where are we?- I don't know.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38If we weren't sure Morgause was a sorcerer before, we can be certain of it now.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42That must have been how she defeated me. She was using magic.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It didn't look like she was.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50And what would you know about magic, Merlin?
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Nothing.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Now what? - Maybe we should ask the horse.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15There's no-one here.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You kept your promise.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26And for that, I will grant you one wish.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Tell me what it is that your heart most desires.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34You said you knew my mother. Tell me all that you know about her.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Perhaps you would like to see her.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I want that more than anything.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41As you wish.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51The search party were unable to pick up a trail.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53There is no sign of Prince Arthur anywhere.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Re-double your efforts. Send riders to the outlying villages.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58I want my son found!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Yes, my Lord.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06It chills me to think what Morgause has planned for Arthur.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Had she chosen to, she already could have killed him.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12I believe she has some other purpose in mind.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Morgause told Arthur that she knew his mother.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18She knew Ygraine?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I don't know.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Perhaps it is a lie.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26She knew it would tempt Arthur to go to her.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30You think that Morgause knows the true circumstances of Arthur's birth?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I fear that more than anything.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Are you sure you want to do this?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47If you were granted the opportunity, would you not want to meet your father?
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Uther won't forgive you if he finds out you've collaborated with a sorcerer.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56What if my father's attitude to magic is wrong?
0:25:56 > 0:26:01- You really think that? - Perhaps it's not as simple as he would have us believe.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Morgause is a sorcerer, she has caused us no harm.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Surely not everyone who practises magic can be evil?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12We don't actually know why she's doing this.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It is time.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Close your eyes.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Aris mid min miclan mihte
0:26:40 > 0:26:44thin suna to helpe.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Hider eft funda on thysne middangeard thin suna.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Arthur.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Arthur.- Mother?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11My son.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19When I last held you, you were a tiny baby.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I remember your eyes.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You were staring up at me.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Those few seconds I held you were the most precious of my life.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'm so sorry.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32You have nothing to be sorry for.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37It is your father who should carry the guilt for what happened.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39What do you mean?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42It is not important. What matters is that you lived.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Why should my father feel guilty?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46It is better left in the past.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49You cannot leave me with more questions.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55- Please.- Your father...
0:27:55 > 0:27:59He was desperate for an heir.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Without a son, the Pendragon dynasty would come to an end.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07But I could not conceive.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Then how was I born?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Tell me.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Your father betrayed me.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22He went to the sorceress Nimueh and asked for her help.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28You were born of magic.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33That's not true!
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I'm sorry, Arthur.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Your father has deceived you, as he deceived me.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42To create a life, a life must be taken. Your father knew that.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47- No!- He sacrificed my life so the Pendragon dynasty could continue.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52It makes you no less my son, nor me any less proud of you.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Do not let this knowledge change you.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12No! Bring her back!
0:29:12 > 0:29:16I cannot. Once the doorway is closed, it is closed forever.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22I am truly sorry that you learnt of your mother's fate in this way.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28I can only imagine how it must feel to discover that your father is responsible.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32It is an unforgivable betrayal.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Are you all right?
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Arthur?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Fetch the horses.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47We're returning to Camelot.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10What are you going to do?
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Merlin! I'm relieved to see that you are safe. Where's Arthur?
0:30:25 > 0:30:30Arthur was born of magic. Wasn't he?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Uther used magic.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Merlin...
0:30:36 > 0:30:39People should know the truth about what he has done.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42How could you not tell me?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I feared what Arthur would do if he ever found out.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50He's found out now.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Arthur!
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Where have you been? I have had search parties out looking for you.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Arthur?
0:31:08 > 0:31:12I know what you did to my mother.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Leave us.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17No-one is to enter.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26- What are you talking about? - You were so desperate for an heir, you were prepared to use magic.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Did Morgause tell you this? She's lying.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33My mother is dead because of your selfishness and arrogance.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- Her blood is on your hands. - No. That's not true. But Morgause would have you believe that.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41This is what fuels your hatred for those who practise magic.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46Rather than blame yourself for what you did, you blame them.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49You would believe a sorcerer over the word of your father?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I can only think that Morgause has enchanted you.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54You have hunted her kind like animals!
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Those who practise magic will stop at nothing to destroy us.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02I have only done what is necessary to protect this kingdom.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06You speak of honour and nobility. You are nothing but a hypocrite and a liar!
0:32:06 > 0:32:11I am your king and your father, and you will show me some respect!
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Have you lost your mind?
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Pick it up.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Arthur, I implore you. Think about what you are doing.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Pick it up!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I will not fight you.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45If you choose not to defend yourself,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50I will strike you down where you stand.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54You are my son. You will not strike an unarmed man.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59I no longer think of myself as your son.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Then strike me down.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16I do not want to fight you.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44The King has forbidden anyone to enter.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Arthur! Don't! I know you don't want to do this.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55You've lost one parent, do you really want to lose another?
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Listen to him, Arthur.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Put the sword down.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02You have caused so much suffering and pain. I will put an end to it.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Morgause is lying.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12She's an enchantress. She tricked you.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15That wasn't your mother you saw. It was an illusion.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Everything, everything your mother said to you,
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- those were Morgause's words. - You don't know that!
0:34:26 > 0:34:30This has been her plan all along, to turn you against your father.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31The kingdom will be destroyed.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34This is what she wants.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39Listen to him. He speaks the truth.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Swear to me that it isn't true.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Give me your word!
0:34:44 > 0:34:47I swear on my life. I loved your mother.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50There isn't a day that passes that I don't wish she were alive.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53I could never have done anything to hurt her.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14My son. You mean more to me than anything.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I'm sorry.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20You are not to blame.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43I am indebted to you, Merlin.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48I had become...confused.
0:35:48 > 0:35:54It is once again clear to me that those who practise magic are evil and dangerous.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57And that is thanks to you.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Glad I could help.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12My Lord.
0:36:12 > 0:36:19I wanted to thank you in person for your actions yesterday.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22You are a loyal servant to Arthur. I am most grateful.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27- I was just doing my duty.- You have proven yourself to be a trusted ally in the fight against magic.
0:36:30 > 0:36:37- Me? - Those who practise magic will seek to exploit Arthur's inexperience.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40They will attempt to corrupt him.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43You must be extra vigilant.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44I'll keep my eyes peeled.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47I know you will.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Is that Uther I saw leaving?- Yeah.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03He just popped in to say hello.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Merlin. What did he want?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08He wanted to thank me for being a trusted ally in the fight against magic.
0:37:13 > 0:37:19How you've managed to keep that head on your shoulders is a mystery beyond our greatest minds.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Uther should be grateful.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I'm proud of you, Merlin.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Arthur's thanking me, Uther's grateful, you're proud...
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I have never been this popular!
0:37:37 > 0:37:38I'm almost certain it won't last.
0:37:38 > 0:37:44Just let me enjoy the moment.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Aetiewe me tha the ic sece.
